Non-Dairy Protein(10)
What is Non-Dairy Protein Powder?
TPW™'s Non-Dairy Protein range offers a form of nutritional salvation for many people. This is because it contains proteins such as Brown Rice Protein and Pea Protein which are all ideal for people who suffer from certain food intolerances. Essentially, Non-Dairy Protein allow athletes and people who train to meet their elevated protein requirements without the digestive discomfort or nutritional complications.
But lactose intolerance and dairy intolerance aside, the TPW™'s Non-Dairy Proteins are also a great alternative for people wanting to change up their protein sources and intake. This is because constantly using whey protein as your source of protein means that your muscles and body as a whole only receives a certain amino acid profile. But by 'mixing it up' and adding a Non-Dairy Protein to your supplement routine you can offer the body an array of amino acids in a different ratio.
Put simply, not all protein is created equal. They differ in absorption rates, Biological Availability and their amino acid profile. The Non-Dairy Protein Hemp Protein is a prime example. Considered by many to be nature's all-in-one it's rich in vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids. This is why so many TPW™ customers love the Non-Dairy Protein and why we'll constantly look to expand it.

The water is so good in Erie that customers of The Lazy Dog sports bar don't even ask for a slice of lemon in it.
Lazy Dog owner Steve Ross, who has owned restaurants all over the state, said the town of Erie even asks him to reach out to potential beer brewers to locate there.
"Good water makes good beer," he said.
Apparently so. On Tuesday, Erie was picked as having the best tasting water in the Rocky Mountain region at the 2013 Rocky Mountain Section of the American Water Works Association's annual conference in Keystone.
Judges ranked about a dozen municipalities on taste, odor and appearance.
The Pueblo Board of Water Works finished second, followed by Denver Water.
So what makes Erie's water so darn good?
Well, for one thing, Erie's water comes from the Granby area, high in the mountains.
And unlike some cities that draw water from the South Platte River, downstream from the Denver wastewater-reclamation plant, "the only things above us on the water shed are elk and bear," said Erie water manager Jon Mays

john bonin necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 81 diseños de 24 diseñadores freelance.
BTRG stands for the Business & Technology Resource Group, Inc.
We work closely with Oracle. In fact, BTRG has been implementing, upgrading and integrating PeopleSoft applications for Fortune 1000 firms across North American for over 17 years. PeopleSoft is a large enterprise-level software package that large corporations use to manage their financials, human resources, supply chain, etc systems and processes. For more information, please visit http://www.oracle.com/us/products/a…/index.htm for more information on Oracle and PeopleSoft.
BTRG is a consulting company that normally provides PeopleSoft consulting services. We're known for having the unusual ability of being able to provide highly qualified consultants at reasonable rates. We compete with Accenture and IBM for services contracts.
"InFlight" is our first product. We have already developed the product and have beta customers. We have already marketed the product to Fortune 1000 firms and it has been very well received. We are currently in discussions with over 2 dozen interested parties.
Our target audience are decision makers in Fortune 1000 firms across North America who have PeopleSoft and SharePoint installed. These people are functional and technical experts who work with PeopleSoft and/or SharePoint. Our decision makers are either CIO's or Director-level HR or Financials System Managers. Our influencers are SharePoint managers and system administrators working with either PeopleSoft or SharePoint.
The CIO's and Directors approve budget. Lower level functional and technical staff drive the need. They either want to integrate the two or understand technically how time consuming it would be to do so. Our tool, InFlight, installs and completes the integration in 2 hours.
BTRG is an established 17 y/o company but, this is our first product. Often, people find us on google by searching for 'peoplesoft sharepoint integration' and are not aware that we have a 17 yr history so they confuse us for a start up, a negative.
The product is called "InFlight". Technically, it's a small piece of software that integrates PeopleSoft and SharePoint. SharePoint is becoming the defacto intranet for most organizations. PeopleSoft is where a lot of employee data resides.
Our tool enables an organization to surface PeopleSoft content inside SharePoint portals. More product information: http://www.btrgroup.com/solutions/b…ration.php
We are calling the product "InFlight" because it filters the 'conversation' between PeopleSoft and SharePoint 'on the fly'. We would like a logo for "InFlight" that is consistent with the image presented by both Oracle and BTRG. Something with clean lines consistent with smooth flight. Not overly cartoony as that tends to be out of step with most enterprise-level software solutions. Remember, this is a B2B solution.
If its possible that the logo reflect the fact that we're an established company that would be nice. In any case, something that would appeal to an audience of established, senior-level IT experts. We'd like something cool, but almost not too cool that it makes us appear to be a dot.com or an upstart because that makes our audience a bit skittish.
Ideally, we get back a logo for "InFlight" as well as a logo for "InFlight" with the tagline of "Integration on the Fly"
No clip art. We'll need files in .eps format and .jpeg/gif if possible.

The card staged by Oscar De La Hoya's Golden Boy Promotions a week ago Saturday at Barclays Center in Brooklyn really stunk. To have someone like unified junior lightweight champion Danny Garcia fighting a bum — at least compared with Garcia — like Rod Salka was just a shame.
That was the worst part. But for the purposes of moving forward, let's just say we're hopeful we don't have to put up with that again any time soon.
To that end, this Saturday's Golden Boy card at StubHub Center in Carson shapes up to be much better. Shawn Porter is favored to successfully defend his welterweight title against Kell Brook of England, but Brook is a live underdog and it's doubtful he'll go quietly.
Heck, merely having an opportunity to see such an exciting fighter like Porter makes this one worth attending or viewing on Showtime, which also televised last week's debacle.
Besides Porter-Brook, Omar Figueroa will defend his lightweight title against Daniel Estrada and Sakio Bika and Anthony Dirrell will square off in a rematch of their hotly contested fight in December in Brooklyn for Bika's super middleweight belt that ended in a draw. Dirrell and Bika looked like they wanted to go at it at Thursday's final news conference.
As for Porter (24-0-1, 15 KOs), this young man from Ohio has become a hot commodity. His stock grew when he demolished light-hitting yet tough Paulie Malignaggi inside four rounds in April in Washington D.C. Malignaggi, who has been in with some mean hombres, had been stopped inside the distance twice before. But it took Ricky Hatton and Amir Khan 11 rounds to do it. Porter just tore through Malignaggi.
Porter's success, and his seek-and-destroy style, have inquiring minds wanting to know about the future of a fighter who is being looked upon as a potential superstar — perhaps coming along at just the right time, what with Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao not long for this business as fighters.
During a recent conference call, the outgoing Porter was asked if he thinks about the notion that an explosive showing against Brook might put him in line for a shot at Mayweather, who is 37.
"Again, you know this is boxing, we don't look ahead of ourselves," said Porter, 26. "But at the same time, yes, Mayweather, we all know he's on the clock and we're all right there standing there hoping that we're next in line."
Another terrific fight could be against heavy-handed Keith "One Time" Thurman, an interim champion with a record of 23-0 with 21 knockouts.
"I'll fight 'One Time' two times," Porter said. "I don't look past what's in front of me. Again, we've seen it all over the internet, all over the media wavelengths; everybody wants that fight. I think it'd be an exciting fight and it's a fight that I wouldn't turn down."
He won't get that chance if he loses to Brook. And Porter seems to know that. But he says he does not shoulder any extra burden, even though that would be understandable because so much is expected of him.
"No, there's no added pressure at all," Porter said. "This is what I love to do, and I'm having fun with it right now."
Brook (32-0, 22 KOs) wants to have fun, too. He certainly comes off as confident.
"This is definitely my opportunity to show American fans what all the fuss is about with this British guy," said Brook, 28. "My message to them is that I will go into that ring and give it my all and come out with that world title. Get your popcorn ready."
This will be a lot better than that Garcia-Salka fiasco, which ended via second-round knockout for Garcia. Brook at least belongs in the same ring as Porter.
Jason Quigley eyes second pro fight
We have heard nothing but good things about the prospects for Ireland's Jason Quigley, whom we expect to see on TV on Saturday when he fights on the Porter-Brook undercard. His four-round middleweight fight against Fernando Najera of Mexico is slated as a swing bout for the Showtime Extreme telecast, which will precede that of Showtime.
Quigley is 1-0 with one knockout as a professional. As an amateur, he became the first Irishman to win a silver medal at the World Amateur Boxing Championships in 2013. He could have stayed around for the 2016 Olympic Games, but he turned pro July 12 and knocked out Howard Reece in the first round at MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
With all the expectations because of his amateur success, he was stoked to emerge from his first fight victorious.
"Getting the pro debut out of the way is somewhat of a relief, but I know I have a lot of work to do," said Quigley, who hails from Stranorlar, County Donegal, Ireland.
"Getting the experience is so important, which is why I train all over Los Angeles. I go to different gyms all the time, looking to spar, work and learn."
Quigley is currently residing in Marina Del Rey. His home training base is IRON Gym in Santa Monica and he gets a lot of his sparring at Powerhouse Gym in Burbank. His first fight against an overmatched Reece didn't last long, thus his quick return to the ring one month later.
"I'm really looking forward to my second fight since my first went so fast (82 seconds)," Quigley said. "I just fought in mid-July, so it's great to be brought back so soon."
Heavyweight Dominic Breazeale (11-0, 10 KOs) of Alhambra will take on Billy Zumbrun (27-13-1, 16 KOs) of Ogden, Utah, on Saturday's undercard at StubHub. … Also on Showtime Extreme, top heavyweight contender Deontay Wilder (31-0, 31 KOs) of Tuscaloosa, Ala., will take part in a tune-up fight against Jason Gavern (25-15-4, 11 KOs) of Orlando, Fla. … The semi-main event for the Sept. 13 rematch between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Marcos Maidana at MGM Grand in Las Vegas (on Showtime pay-per-view) will feature Leo Santa Cruz (27-0-1, 15 KOs) of Lincoln Heights defending his super bantamweight belt against Manuel Roman (17-2-3, 6 KOs) of Tijuana. Not sure how this one is happening as a title defense since Roman is not ranked in the top 15. This a WBC fight. The guess here is the WBC will find a way to rank Roman ahead of the bout.

I hadn't heard of Mexican-American singer Jenni Rivera before her tragic plane crash last Sunday, but like so many others, I hoped that she'd be found alive. She sounded like a fascinating woman -- not just a star in the Latino music community, but a TV producer, an entrepreneur, and the spokeswoman for the National Coalition against battered women and domestic violence. Rivera had five children and two grandchildren.
Last Sunday, Mexican officials located the wreckage of the plane that carried her and six others, and they confirmed everyone's worst fears: there were no survivors. I'm sure the news must have been absolutely devastating to her family ... especially to her brother Juan Rivera, who despite the discovery of the plane, insists that the family has faith that Rivera will be found alive.
Worse, her 11-year-old son is also saying that he believes his mother is not dead -- and this all seems to be thanks to the ongoing claims made by a psychic.
More from The Stir: Singer Jenni Rivera's Horrifying Plane Crash Details Released But Family Still Has Hope
U.S. officials confirmed that Rivera died on impact during the crash, and her father relayed the news to Telemundo on Sunday. Rivera's other brother, Pedro River Jr, also seems to have accepted the tragedy of his sister's passing:
We are feeling devastated. Life is like that. We live and we die. We may be sad, but when God has the last word for all of us in our last days, it's time to go.
Her brother Juan, however, told reporters that he and other family members were holding out hope:
In our eyes, we still have faith that my sister will be OK. We have no confirmation of her body being recovered, dead or alive.
Rivera's 11-year-old son, Johnny Angel Lopez, has been posting on Twitter that he knows his mother is alive:
My Mama is alive. I lost hope but I got it back. She is not dead. #saveJenni.
His account is filled with messages that indicate he and other family members strongly believe Jenni is alive, thanks in no small part to a psychic's claim that Rivera escaped the crash. According to the psychic, Rivera is injured but making her way along a stream 12 miles from the crash.
It's hard to know what's going on here, and what's motivating this psychic to continue spreading information about Jenni Rivera to her family. I'm a skeptic by nature so I'm inclined to think this person is a horrible opportunist, but maybe they truly believe they're helping in some way.
At any rate, I feel terrible for Rivera's family, who are now caught between those who believe she's alive -- and are thus insisting on sending out search parties -- and those who have accepted the confirmation of her death made by both Mexican and U.S. officials. I hope that everyone finds peace soon, and can begin grieving the loss of a woman who was clearly an important part of many people's lives.
What do you think of this psychic's claims about Jenni Rivera?

Election 2012: Maryland Passes Version of DREAM Act
Undocumented students in Maryland were celebrating Tuesday after voters approved a version of the DREAM Act that allows undocumented immigrants to pay in-state tuition at public colleges passed in Maryland.
The law gives undocumented immigrants a break on in-state tuition rates if they attend a Maryland high school for three years and if they or their parents can show they filed state income taxes during that time.
"We rejoice and give praise that Marylanders pushed our state out in front as a beacon to other states and to our president in how we treat the stranger in our midst," said Bishop Douglas Miles, chair of the Maryland Industrial Areas Foundation. It is a consortium of Maryland congregations, schools and community groups that has been a strong supporter of the ballot question.
Critics said the measure would be too costly -- analysts estimated it would cost the state $3.5 million per year. But, according to the Baltimore Sun, researchers claimed the state would benefit by having more college educated people who would pay higher taxes if they landed better jobs.
Kevin Bruffey, a 35-year-old Cockeysville resident, said the Dream Act would bring financial consequences. He described Maryland as already being a "sanctuary state" for undocumented immigrants due to other laws, and he said this law will draw more to the state.
"It's going to be a huge burden for the taxpayer," Bruffey said.
Maryland residents faced a variety of high-profile ballot questions this year, including whether to allow same-sex marriage and expanded gambling. Votes were very close on both measures.
On a separate ballot question, Maryland voters approved the state's congressional redistricting map. It had been petitioned to the ballot by opponents who said it had been gerrymandered to favor Democrats.
Voters also passed a constitutional amendment requiring elected officials to be suspended from office once convicted of certain crimes and removed automatically if they plead guilty or no contest. That tightens current law, which only removes someone from office at sentencing.
The tuition measure, signed by Gov. Martin O'Malley last year, was the first to be successfully petitioned to this year's ballot. It's been on hold pending the outcome of Tuesday's vote.
About a dozen other states have similar laws, but Maryland is the first that has approved it by popular vote.
Maryland residents also are choosing whether to expand gambling to legalize table games like blackjack and a casino near the nation's capital.
They will be making the call after more than $90 million has been spent by opponents and supporters, an unprecedented amount in Maryland for a single campaign.
Sayre Matthew, a 37-year-old Democrat, said she voted against more gambling, but not because she's opposed to casinos.
"I feel like we could get a much better deal," Matthew said in College Park, explaining that the dollars from gambling don't mean more money for education as has been advertised.
Retired medical assistant Carolyn Barton, a registered Democrat, said she enthusiastically supported gambling expansion.
"I think they need it here," Barton said after voting in Hagerstown. "I really think we'll get money for school."

Source: AP / USA Today
GAINESVILLE, Ga. — A man has been convicted of homicide by vessel in a Jet Ski crash that killed R&B singer Usher's 11-year-old stepson.
A Hall County jury on Thursday also found Jeffrey Hubbard guilty of serious injury by vessel, reckless operation of a vessel, unlawful operation of a personal watercraft and a boat traffic violation. The summer 2012 crash on Lake Lanier northeast of Atlanta killed Kile Glover and left another teen severely injured.
Investigators have said the watercraft that Hubbard was riding hit the children as they were being towed on an inner tube. Glover died of head injuries six days later.
Hubbard's attorneys argued that what happened was a tragic accident and wasn't linked to recklessness.

Some of Our Latest Pumping Related Solutions
Hydrotesting is a crucial part of pipeline maintenance and construction. As engineering feats allow pipelines to travel over great distances and staggering elevations, you need a pump and equipment to ensure your project is completed successfully. Rain for Rent offers a full line of high head pumps, allowing your hydrotest project to reach the heights and pressures required. Complete your hydrotest with Rain for Rent piping and filtration equipment for clean disposal.
Construction in areas with high water tables can provide unique challenges. Rain for Rent provides expert dewatering, wellpoint and deep well dewatering services backed by a full-service engineering department. Whether you are excavating to build strong foundations deep underground or need basic dewatering, Rain for Rent's team works hard to ensure your projects stays on track and perform exactly as they were designed.
Every tank will need maintenance at some point during its lifecycle. Maintaining LEED gold certification on your jobsite means extra attention needs to be paid to ensure spill-free projects. Rain for Rent, a pioneer in spill protection offers a variety of hydrotested rental pipe and spill containment berms. This proven equipment, coupled with decades of water transfer experience, allows customers to focus on their construction job and Rain for Rent to focus on moving and storing their liquids.
Rain for Rent designed heavy duty road crossings, sometimes referred to as road ramps, to make pumping across roads easy. Offered in both 12 and 20 foot lengths, the galvanized road crossings were constructed with federal bridge compliance of 20,000 lbs. per single axle rating. They are designed to efficiently route water under vehicle without sacrificing significant head loss. Safety is always key, and each road crossing is equipped with DOT safety reflectors and safety flags.
The 4RB clear water pump is the most highly recommended Rain for Rent agricultural pump. It provides up to 1,600 gallons per minute of water with a small footprint, making it easy to tow to your nearest water source and pump during variable water levels. The 4RB also provides up to 250 feet of head, allowing you to pump longer distances and up steeper inclines. When your water source runs too low, the pump features automatic shutdown when dry to avoid any damage and cost to the farmer.
Rain for Rent chooses PowerPrime™ Pumps as its rental fleet provider because of superior fuel economy and pumping abilities. Pumps like our XHH125 extra high head pump are able to produce extreme high head flows with lower engine RPMs. This provides you the same pumping ability as competitor's pumps at a much lower fuel cost to you. Whether you are a hydrotesting a pipeline or providing temporary water supplies on construction projects, there is a more fuel efficient pump option available from Rain for Rent.

Wales women's rugby head coach Rhys Edwards has named seven uncapped players in his 27-strong squad for the forthcoming Six Nations campaign.
Wales are also hugely boosted by the return of prop Catrin Edwards, second row Gemma Hallett, flanker Catrina Nicholas and fly half Elinor Snowsill, who all missed last year's championship.
The debutantes are forwards Bethan Howell, Carys Phillips and Nia Davies and backs Sian Moore, Leila Johns, Rafiuke Taylor and Dyddgu Hywel, in a side which sees Rachel Taylor (pictured) lead the side for the second season running while Gemma Hallett and Elen Evans have been named as vice-captains.
Edwards believes the side he has selected is a blend of youth and experience and is a perfect blend as Wales attempt to finish in the top four of the Six Nations championship to guarantee selection for next year's World Cup.
"I'm quite excited about the squad which has been selected," said Edwards. "We've selected from form where the likes of Rafiuke Taylor have taken a chance given to her. It wasn't long ago she was playing in the lower divisions. She was thrown in against Spain and didn't look out of her depth on the wing - plus she knows where the try-line is."
"The fact that we've got a few players coming back into the squad is great because they bring a lot of experience to the squad," added Edwards. "it also means we have stiff competition for places which may not have been the case in the past."
Wales begin their campaign against Ireland at Aberavon's Port Talbot Athletic Ground on Sunday 3rd February before playing away to France (Feb 8 ), Italy (Feb 24th) and Scotland (March 10) before completing their championship against England at home.
"If we start well against Ireland and pick up a win that takes a lot of pressure off us," said Edwards. "If we can pick up a win hopefully that will set us up for a good little run. France, Italy and Scotland are always difficult on their own patch but we've got a good squad which I think can challenge those teams. As a squad we're also looking forward to playing our home games at Aberavon as it is an established club with a wide pitch and we want to play an expansive game."

text: Desserts, DIY, Kid Eats, Kids Crafts The Perfect Pink Barbie Cake Tutorial Over the month of December we celebrated Emily's 5th birthday. This was the year of the Barbie which thrilled me to no end as I had envisioned a Barbie cake for my little girl long before she was even a twinkle in our eye. Barbie cakes are a true labor of love by the mothers who create them and this cake was a testament to my undying love for my daughter. Today I wanted to share with you how we created our Barbie cake and some tips for creating this cake for your own little princess! The week will be filled with oodles of tutorials and ideas for making your Barbie party special and I hope to add a little inspiration to your own Barbie-inspired party! For this cake you will need a white cake mix, strawberry gelatin dessert, eggs, milk, canola oil, a package of fresh strawberries, and your doll. The doll that is pictured in this tutorial ended up not being used because the cake was not tall enough to form her dress and stand her upright. Doll toppers can be purchased specifically for cake decorating at Michael's for $3.99 (you can also use on of those 40% off coupons on that purchase to save) or you can ask your bakery if they will sell you a doll that you can use for roughly the same amount. Cakes can also be improvised as Monica, from The Homespun Heart discovered, by making your cake taller to fit a Barbie. My girlfriend also found a shorter generic one that could be found at the dollar store because the generic ones are not as tall as the real Barbies. My best friend broke the legs of her Barbie for my cake. May you all have a super awesome mafia friend like me who is willing to donate her legless Barbie for your project. This cake is an easy mix and dump cake, but you will need to finely chop your strawberries to mix into the cake. I used my food chopper to chop these up evenly and fine for the cake. Once you have done that, you have the brunt of the cake mixing portion done. Dump all of the ingredients into your mixer, including those finely chopped berries, and give it a good mix. I let it run for a good minute or two while my oven was preheating to 350 degrees. Pour your batter into a greased mixing bowl. The mixing bowl I used for this project is the Pampered Chef Classic Batter Bowl that I had in my kitchen. Many years ago when I bought it, the consultant had shared with me that it would make the perfect Barbie cake. It doesn't have to be a Pampered Chef bowl though, any two quart ovenproof glass mixing bowl should do the job! Now let Barbie sit back and take a little nap while her dress bakes. Because of the depth of the cake, this cake will take roughly an hour and ten minutes to bake. You want to make sure that the rack is not too high on your oven or it will really brown the top of your cake. You will also want to keep an eye on it and test the center after an hour to see how it is doing. Mine took the full hour and ten minutes for this cake though. Once the cake is done baking, you can pull it out and let it rest for at least fifteen minutes. Invert your cake on a cooling rack and let it cool for three hours before decorating. I prefer to make my cakes in a two day process so I went ahead and wrapped the cooled Barbie cake in plastic wrap and rested it on top of a dish, then covered the whole thing in foil. When the cake is frozen it is much easier to decorate and I have a lot less crumbs to have to work around. That little tip came courtesy of a Michael's cake decorating course I took and has served me well over the years of making and decorating special occasion cakes. Now it is time to make the frosting. You can definitely skip this step and just use two 16 ounce containers of vanilla frosting (tinted to your favorite cake dress color), but the jarred frosting won't give you the stiffness you need if you want to decorate and embellish the dress. This buttercream decorator's frosting uses the confectioner's sugar, shortening, milk, clear butter flavor (pictured above and purchased at Michael's) and a little Meringue Powder (pictured above and purchased at Michael's) that gives it a yummy whipped and buttered taste without adding any off-colors to your frosting. Making frosting is a messy, messy job and is one of my least favorite parts about cake decorating. One way you can really cut down on the mess is to dampen a kitchen towel and drape it over your mixer while you are whipping up your frosting. This will cut down on the confectioner's sugar dust clouds that you will find all over the kitchen and you can wipe down your mixer when you are all done. Really try hard to resist eating this frosting. You really will need all of it to decorate your cake. Doesn't it look delicious though? Tint the frosting in your desired color. In our case it was Emily's two favorites…pink and dark pink. Now it is time to frost your cake. I frost my cakes frozen and they turn out beautifully. You just want to give your decorated cake a few hours to thaw before the guest arrive, but frozen cake frosting is so darn easy that you will never go back. Frost it the best you can and remember that you can add as many details as you need to and that will cover up any of the imperfect parts. To get the surface even smoother, dip your clean spatula in hot water and run it across the surface of the cake in long strokes. This will melt the frosting slightly to help remove stroke marks. Wipe the spatula clean and dip it in the hot water before each stroke. Once your cake is smooth (ish), you are ready to add your embellishments to decorate your dress. I used Wilton Tips #2D to make swirl flowers and my zigzag border, tip 3 to make the centers of the flowers and added dots to her dresses, and tip 21 for the shell borders and little loops on her dress. You can add whatever details you prefer on your cake, that is the beauty of making your own Barbie cake. Embrace your inner-fashionista and have a blast making Barbie's party dress! Here is our finished cake. I left the top of Barbie's dress on and tried to incorporate the lower half into looking like a continuation of her top. Her hair was tied with a little leftover grosgrain ribbon. If your Barbie has legs, you can wrap her in plastic before inserting her. After Barbie was done with this party, I put her dress top in the dishwasher and it came out clean and perfect. Barbie just got a good wash in the sink and I put her away…just in case we might need her next year. 4.0 from 1 reviews Print The Perfect Pink Barbie Cake With Buttercream Frosting Author: Adapted from The Cake Doctor Cookbook Recipe type: Dessert Prep time: 15 mins Cook time: 1 hour 15 mins Total time: 1 hour 30 mins Serves: 10 This cake is so moist and full of strawberry flavor. The color from the gelatin adds a vivid pink hue and the flecks of fresh berry take these pantry ingredients to another level. If a Barbie cake isn't your thing, wait for your post next week where these are transformed into a grown-up cupcake complete with a Strawberry Cream Cheese Frosting. While buttercream icing is not my favorite tasting frosting, this frosting is ideal for decorating and piping beautiful decorations on your Barbie cake. The butter flavor really adds a lot of richness to this frosting. This recipe creates a batch and a half (or approximately five cups of frosting). This will likely be more than you need, but I would rather have extra frosting than not enough and make it all over again. Extra frosting can also be used to decorate a batch of cupcakes for the adults! Ingredients 1 package (18.25 ounces) plain white cake mix 1 package (3 ounces) strawberry gelatin 1 cup finely chopped fresh strawberries with juice (approximately 1½ cups whole berries) ¾ cup milk ¾ cup canola oil 4 large eggs For Buttercream Icing (Medium Consistency): 1½ cups solid white shortening 1½ teaspoons Wiilton Butter Flavor 4-5 tablespoons milk 6 cups confectioners sugar 1½ tablespoon Wilton Meringue Powder Pinch of Salt (optional) Instructions Place your oven rack into the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a 2 quart oven-safe batter bowl by greasing heavily with cooking spray. Place the cake mix, gelatin strawberries and their juice, milk, oil, and eggs in a large mixing bowl. Blend with an electric mixer on low speed for thirty seconds. Stop the machine and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Increase the mixer speed to medium and beat two more minutes. Pour batter carefully into your prepared batter bowl. Bake for 1 hour and ten minutes or until the cake springs back when pressed with your finger and a cake tester comes out clean. Cool for fifteen minutes and then invert your cake on a cooling rack. Allow the cake to cool for a minimum of three hours before decorating. For more tips see the post above. For icing: Cream shortening flavoring, and water. Add dry ingredients and mix on medium speed until all ingredients have been thoroughly mixed together. Blend an additional minute or so until creamy. Tint as desired. 2.2.1 Disclosure: The Amazon links above are affiliate links and are provided so you can locate the books & supplies for your project quickly and easily.

Gallup did a survey this summer that asked people how much confidence they had in various institutions.
According to the survey, 36 percent said they trusted the presidency a great deal or quite a bit, compared with 22 percent who expressed confidence in big business, 20 who believed in organized labor and 10 percent who trusted Congress.
Small business, on the other hand, came in second with 65 percent of those surveyed saying it was trustworthy. The military, not surprisingly, was No. 1.
While politicians have squabbled and Wall Street businesses have slashed jobs, Main Street has endured. Some small-business owners, instead of laying people off, have cut their own salaries to keep their full complement of employees. Others have dipped into savings or taken out second mortgages to keep their doors open or to avoid cutting back employee hours.

The campaign to "shop small" on the Saturday after Thanksgiving started in 2010 as little more than an effort to give small businesses — many struggling to get out of the red after a long recession — a much needed shot in the arm.
Since then, Small Business Saturday has become a powerful movement to give back to the brick-and-mortar establishments that line our Main Streets and keep our communities vibrant.
The concept is simple: Instead of sitting at home and ordering online or one-stop shopping at the nearest big-box store, make Main Street ground zero for your holiday shopping.
Many local businesses around the county will be offering special deals and discounts throughout the day to encourage shoppers and to commemorate the day, so the incentive to shop small is all the greater.
It's strange to think that doing something so modest can have such a big impact, but research on last year's event showed that consumers who were aware of Small Business Saturday spent a total of $5.5 billion with independent merchants that day.
The biggest incentive to shop small is that you are making your community stronger. You are helping to keep the people in your town or city employed so that they can support their families.
Most important, you are demonstrating the value that you place on the small-business people who, by providing you and your community with unparalleled products and services, work hard to keep your trust each and every day.
During times like these, we could all benefit from a boost in our faith: faith in the future, faith in our country, faith in our economy. Show your faith in America by starting your holiday season in a small business and "shop small" on Small Business Saturday.

This has been in my drafts folder for ages. It was originally meant to be posted for Wenger's 13th anniversary at Arsenal a few weeks ago. It was then meant to be put up on his birthday last week. As you can see neither happened but better late than never. It was Wenger's 60th birthday and what better reason for a few lists? 15 great signings, 15 poor signings, 15 memorable games and 15 great goals (plus a few extra chucked in). Enjoy!
15 Great Signings:
1. Patrick Vieira – A relatively unknown player before he joined from AC Milan, Wenger got Arsenal to sign him before he joined himself. A decade of midfield dominance, spats with Roy Keane and the Neviller and countless trophies followed. Managed to get £14 million from Juve once his knees were knackered too.
2. Thierry Henry – 369 games, 226 goals. Best player in the Premier League for about five years.
3. Freddie Ljungberg – His red hair, his run of form in the 2001/02 season after Pires got injured, his debut goal against Man Utd, those underwear ads. A great player until his hip injury.
4. Nicolas Anelka – He left on bad terms but the money received bought Henry and Pires. The first example of Wenger buying cheap and making ridiculous profit. £22.5million profit in this case.
5. Marc Overmars – He was almost too good for Arsenal while he was there and it was no surprise to see Barcelona snap him up for £25million. Scored the winner at Old Trafford in 1998 that helped overcome a 12 point deficit and was generally very, very quick.
6. Robert Pires – His form in 2001/02 earnt him Footballer of the Year honours and he was arguably just as good in 2003/04. Scored a silly amount of goals from the wing, ran oddly, had a cool goatee strip thing and apparently knew the French for va va voom. Always felt he left too early as Wenger wouldn't give him a two year deal. Still doing the business at Villarreal.
7. Cesc Fabregas – Pinched from Barcelona, and will probably head back there one day but for now has developed into one of the best midfielders in the world. Perhaps the prime example of Wenger buying a young player and making him world class. Club captain at 22, the best is yet to come.
8. Andrey Arshavin – Probably the first current world class player Wenger has bought. Has already made a significant impact in his short time at the Emirates, even if he can be a right lazy bugger sometimes.
9. Jens Lehmann – He was immense in 2005/06 when battling to be ahead of Kahn for Germany. Also provided much hilarity as well as the odd moment of madness in his five years at the club.
10. Emmanuel Petit – 'He's blond, he's quick, his name's a porno flick. Emmanuel, Emmanuel.' Had one of the funnier chants of recent times. Signed as a centre back, made a midfielder – he formed a fearsome partnership with Patrick Vieira for three short seasons.
11. Sol Campbell – You can't beat signing your local rival's captain on a free transfer.
12. Lauren – Hard. As. Nails. An ice cool penalty taker too.
13. Kolo Toure – Bought for £150K. Sold after seven years for £16million. Was fantastic at centre back until he got malaria and developed a fat arse.
14. Kanu – Ridiculous skills. Could do things with a ball you never thought possible.
15. Robin van Persie – Absolutely loves to blast it. As a result has scored some brilliant goals in his time at Arsenal.
15 Not So Great Signings:
1. Alberto Mendez – Bought from the mighty FC Feucht. I remember reading Wenger could have bought the whole club for the £250K he paid for Mendez. Made no impact.
2. Nelson Vivas – Cost Arsenal the title in 1999 with his mistake for Hasselbaink's winner vs Leeds late on in the season. Always got booked too.
3. Igors Stepanovs – Man Utd 6-1 Arsenal is all you need to know.
4. Francis Jeffers – The supposed fox in the box managed four league goals from 2001-04, a time when Arsenal scored by the bucketload. It would have helped if he'd played more than 22 times. £8million he cost!
5. Pascal Cygan – Wasn't that bad but I remember how I used to shudder every time I saw his name on the team sheet. If you though Vidic had a slow turning circle…
6. Mickael Silvestre – Why? What purpose does he serve? He won't even get a link.
7. Tomas Danilevicius – A headbutt in a pre-season seems to ring a bell but that might have been after he left for Dunfermline. Played twice, didn't score. The kind of random Wenger gamble where you wish we'd just saved the £1m.
8. Jeremie Aliadiere – Still only 26, he pissed about at Arsenal for eight long years, never learning from any of the amazing strikers at the club and scoring one league goal in his time. You always knew Wenger was basically giving away a game when Aliadiere started up front.
9. Jose Reyes – A bit dim, which meant he was the victim of many a prank. Involved in the Aragones 'black shit' saga too which meant his Arsenal career was over before it began given that Henry hated him. Scored a great debut goal against Chelsea though.
10. Amaury Bischoff – Normally Arsenal sign midfielders and then injure them. They tried the opposite and bought someone already injured. Needless to say he left after a year. He did play a game apparently.
11. Christopher Wreh – George Weah's cousin. The family talent had obviously been diluted. Did score a couple of important goals in the 1997/98 season to be fair.
12. Kaba Diawara – All I remember was that he never scored, hit the post several times and was then still sold back to France for half a million profit.
13. Richard Wright – Big ears, crap goalkeeper.
14. Abou Diaby – There has to be someone current. Possibly the most frustrating player I've seen. could be excellent. Isn't.
15. Rami Shaaban – Just where does he find these keepers from?!
15 Memorable Games (not all good):
1. Arsenal 1-2 Man Utd 14/04/99 – The one with everything, but especially the Arsenal missed penalty that would give Man Utd the momentum for the treble.
2. Man Utd 0-0 Arsenal 21/09/03 – The one where Ruud missed a penalty and Arsenal started their 49 game unbeaten run.
3. Barcelona 2-1 Arsenal 17/05/06 – The one where they were 14 minutes from being Champions of Europe.
4. Arsenal 2-1 Leicester 15/05/04 – The one where they went the season undefeated.
5. Real Madrid 0-1 Arsenal 21/02/06 – The one were they beat Real Madrid on their own patch.
6. Liverpool 4-2 Arsenal 08/04/08 – The one where they were robbed in the Champions League.
7. Arsenal 1-2 Chelsea 06/04/04 – The one where they dominated three of the four halves but still got knocked out.
8. Arsenal 2-0 Chelsea 04/05/02 – The one where they won their second double in four years.
9. Man Utd 0-1 Arsenal 08/05/02 – The one where they won the league in Manchester.
10. Inter 1-5 Arsenal 25/11/03 – The one where they produced the most unexpected scoreline I'd seen in years.
11. Leicester 3-3 Arsenal 27/08/97 – The one with the Bergkamp hat-trick.
12. Tottenham 4-5 Arsenal 13/11/04 – The one where we'll score one more than you.
13. Arsenal 1-2 Liverpool 12/05/01 – The one where Michael Owen stole the FA Cup.
14. Arsenal 7-0 Everton 11/05/05 – The one with the biggest league win under Wenger.
15. Arsenal 0-0 Man Utd 21/05/05 – The one where Arsenal stole the FA Cup.
15 Memorable Goals (in no particular order):
1. Thierry Henry vs Man Utd 30/09/00. Probably the first classic Henry Arsenal goal. He was just on the cusp of dominating the Premier League when he scored this.
2. Tony Adams vs Everton 03/05/98. Conclusive proof that Arsenal had shed their boring tag. Steve Bould chipped, yes chipped a through ball to Tony Adams who chested it before smashing a left foot volley home. The goal that sealed Wenger's first title.
3. Dennis Bergkamp vs Newcastle 02/03/02. I remember people at the time saying he didn't mean this. Fools.
4. Robert Pires vs Southampton 07/05/03. I think this gets underrated as it was a meaningless game before the 2003 Cup Final but few players could have done such a lob with three touches let alone one.
5. Ray Parlour vs Chelsea 04/05/02. Romford Pele scored few but when he did they were usually special. Tim Lovejoy gets slated to this day for saying 'Oh, it's only Ray Parlour' just before he scored.
6. Dennis Bergkamp vs Sunderland 15/01/97. The non-flying Dutchman scored many an amazing goal for Arsenal but his trademark was opening up his body and curling one round the keeper into the top corner from about 25 yards. Like this.
7. Robert Pires vs Aston Villa 17/03/02. Any goal that makes Peter Schmeichel look silly gets the thumbs up from me. Pires was quite possibly the best player in Europe in the spring of 2002.
8. Freddie Ljungberg vs Juventus 04/12/01. I remember being at work during this match and trying to check my phone for text updates. Little did I know what a special goal I'd see when I got home. Just watch Bergkamp's skill again and again and again…
9. Eduardo vs Burnley 08/03/09. Out for a year and he comes back with this. Quite recent but no less special for it.
10. Thierry Henry vs Spurs 16/11/02. Hmm how to wind up your rivals? I know, run 75 yards, dribbling past half the team before scoring, and then run all the way back and celebrate in front of the Spurs fans. Nice.
11. Dennis Bergkamp vs Leicester 27/08/97. One third of the greatest hat-trick in Premier League history.
12. Robin Van Persie vs Charlton 30/09/06. Trust me, he didn't shin it. Well not on purpose anyway.
13. Ray Parlour vs Valencia 04/04/01. Back when Valencia and John Carew used to screw Arsenal over every couple of years there were many a disappointing night in Europe. This special from Ray Parlour however resulted in one of the most mental celebrations I've ever witnessed in pub.
14. Emmanuel Adebayor vs Villarreal 07/04/09. Yes he's a prick but there's no denying this was a great goal. The last good thing he did in an Arsenal shirt.
15. Thierry Henry vs Liverpool 09/04/04. Dumped out of the FA Cup and Champions League in consecutive games to Man Utd and Chelsea of all teams, Arsenal were 2-1 down at half-time at home to Liverpool with an unbeaten record to protect. Pires quickly equalised, before Henry gave Carragher the runaround for an amazing third. He'd complete his hat-trick later on and Arsenal went on to win the league unbeaten.
Want a few more? Ok then. Pires vs Liverpool, Henry vs Inter, Fabregas vs Spurs, Henry vs Real Madrid, Kanu vs Chelsea & Henry vs Charlton.

Following its own tradition, the Saturn Ion is known for the improvements made to the car during its lifespan. Each year, the engineers at Saturn attempt to change aspects of the vehicle that don't appeal to buyers and industry experts. Throughout the vehicle's manufacturing years such issues as the lackluster interior, ride, and performance received redesigns.
Many brands are created in response to a market need or in an effort to compete with another brand. This is certainly the case with Saturn. General Motors created Saturn to compete with the Japanese car makers in the 1980s. GM found that these foreign manufacturers had the lion's share of the smaller car market. The vehicles made under the Saturn name intend to bring some of those sales back to the U.S. The name Saturn honors the spacecraft used by the American space team a few years earlier.
By 1990, Saturn offered its first vehicles to the public; the public received them well. While the cars don't necessarily offer the most powerful engines, they remain among the most fuel efficient of the time. From the beginning, Saturn cars earned a reputation for being well made and therefore became incredibly popular with American car buyers. Maintenance issues are limited, and most buyers feel confident driving these cars. Unfortunately, in 2009, due to bankruptcy issues within GM, the Saturn brand discontinued. Before that event, Saturn offered plenty of well received vehicles including the Ion series.
Saturn first introduced the Ion to the car buying public in the 2003 model year. The brand continued to offer it until 2007 in new editions. This model represents Saturn's entry-level sedan car option. The Ion serves as a replacement for the failing S-Series. Although Saturn has a reputation for making quality cars, the Ion doesn't wow industry leaders. In spite of its unique drawbacks, the Ion does relatively well on showroom floors.
The Saturn Ion is also well known for its odd appearance. Many people feel the car has a strangely designed exterior and interior cabin. The design lines do not flow in an appealing manner. While not unattractive, the unusual dimensions and line placement make the Ion a bit harder for some buyers to love. The body style and cabin design of the Ion necessitate an acquired taste.
The 2007 model year marks the last year Saturn chose to release the Ion in a new edition. Much like its past versions, this car aims to be affordable and a good choice for the younger buyers or those looking for an economic option. The Ion comes in two body styles, the classic sedan and the quad-coupe. This car also features three trim levels simply named base 1, 2, and 3.
Under the hood, all of the trim levels offered for the Saturn Ion come equipped with 2.2-liter, four-cylinder engines capable of 145 hp. Saturn pairs a five-speed manual transmission with these motors for efficient power. However, most models have the four-speed automatic transmission or even the continuously variable transmission, which Saturn offered on earlier models.
The trim levels offered for the Ion remain pretty basic. Only trim level 3 has practical amenities such as air-conditioning, power locks and windows, and cruise control. The upgraded trim also features 16-inch tires and wheels. Overall, most industry experts prefer the more efficient and more attractive economy cars on the market at the time.
The Saturn Ion did not enjoy as long a run on the market as the S-Series from Saturn. The GM brand produced the S-Series for 12 model years before replacing it with the Ion family of cars. First offered in 2003, the Ion remained in production until the 2007 model year. During that time, Saturn attempted to bring the Ion up to speed to compete with Japanese models but only met with limited success.
From the beginning, industry leaders suggested the Ion had a less than desirable, rough and bumpy ride. Over the few years of production, Saturn made changes to the car to counteract this issue. The Ion's body and interior styling also turn some heads and not usually in a good way. Many feel the car looks disjointed and rather out of place with the sleek lines of the day.
On the plus side, the past versions of the Saturn Ion have several options for personalization of the car, as well as an amazing cargo hold for a car of its size. Many customers also appreciate the customer-inspired service and courtesy offered at the dealerships.
2007 Saturn ION
Compact, Coupe, Sedan
2006 Saturn ION
This car has a sleek look that was supposed to hook the young professional crowd, but it falls flat in terms of performance even with the 2.
2005 Saturn ION
The 2005 Saturn ION includes significant enhancements to make it a better vehicle.
2004 Saturn ION
Compact, Coupe, Sedan, Wagon
The 2004 Saturn ION comes in three different trim styles and includes a number of feature optIONs, ranging from comfort customizatIONs to transmissION and drivetrain optIONs.
2003 Saturn ION
The Saturn ION is all new for 2003 and has one of the biggest and most powerful engines in its class; nonetheless, its performance is extremely disappointing.

In 1848 the Second Franklin County Courthouse was built facing the town common. It was a Greek Revival structure, bearing all the typical classical elements of a government building. After a massive fire on Main Street destroyed much of the downtown, the State of Massachusetts determined that in order to serve its purpose, the Courthouse must be made larger and fireproof. In 1873, the town renovated the building. There was an addition put on, it became more fireproof, and the gothic revival façade that you see here was created. In 1954 it was converted into Greenfield's Town Hall and nearly returned to its original appearance.

Calif. gasoline prices hit all-time high - twice
LOS ANGELES – California's gasoline price misery is worsening, with prices exceeding $5 a gallon at some stations.
Analysts say relief may be on the way, with a decline possible in coming days or weeks as supplies stabilize and California refineries -- some beset by unexpected shutdowns -- restore production and make the annual fall shift to an easier-to-produce winter blend.
"Probably by the middle of this week, people are going to start to see some improvements'' in price, Gregg Laskoski, senior petroleum analyst with GasBuddy.com, said Sunday.
That relief can't come soon enough for California motorists. They have seen daily jumps in average prices hit a record $4.655 a gallon statewide for regular on Sunday. That's up nearly 17 cents a gallon from Friday's average prices and up 48 cents a gallon from a month ago, according to AAA's Daily Fuel Gauge Report.
In Los Angeles the pain was even worse: Average prices for regular on Sunday in the L.A. metro area were $4.696, up 3.5 cents overnight, and premium was going for an average $4.893.
Many stations, both major brands and independents, had pump prices well above $5.00 a gallon for regular. There were gas lines in a few areas as some independent stations closed when they were unable to buy more supply on the spot market or were unwilling to pay the going price, said petroleum analyst Bob van der Valk.
GasBuddy.com's California price monitoring page showed prices as high as $6 a gallon at one independent retailer in Simi Valley, and more than a dozen others with prices ranging from $5.39 to $5.79 a gallon.
The rise in prices that began in August pushed California past Hawaii as the state with the highest average gasoline prices, according to auto club AAA.
Nationwide, the average price was $3.81 a gallon, AAA said.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., on Sunday asked the Federal Trade Commission to investigate whether gas prices in the state were being illegally manipulated.
"California's consumers are all too familiar with energy price spikes which cannot be explained by market fundamentals, and which turn out years later to have been the result of malicious and manipulative trading activity,'' she said.
Petroleum analysts say California's problems have been compounded by a combination of reduced production at refineries and an annual shift from a summer gasoline blend to a winter blend with fewer additives.
California's standards for refined gasoline exceed federal standards, so oil companies cannot just send gasoline refined in other states to shore up California's troubled supply, Laskoski said.
Last week's price surge followed a shutdown at a refinery in Torrence, Calif., that is expected to resume production this week. Supplies were already weak as a result of an early August fire at a Chevron refinery in Richmond, Calif. In addition, Laskoski said,several other refineries have been hit with maintenance problems.
Tupper Hull, spokesman for the Western States Petroleum Association, an industry trade group, said California's gasoline market is always closely balanced. Any disruption at 14 refineries in the state meeting, or commodity traders' worries over supply, can trigger volatility in prices, he said.
"Replacing lost production is more difficult here,'' Hull said. "It takes a little longer than it does in other parts of the country. You can't just redirect product in the pipeline like you can in almost every other market.''
"All of these things collectively created just a huge problem on the supply side,'' Laskoski said.
Rising prices have also brought gasoline thefts.
In Roseville, Calif., police are seeking two people suspected of stealing 750 gallons of gasoline from a Shell station, Police Sgt. Jeff Kool said. He said thieves somehow defeated the gasoline pump's meter controls and filled external tanks in a pickup during visits in the early-morning hours over three days.
"With prices in the upper $4 a gallon, gasoline is obviously more valuable,'' Kool said. "It's a criminal opportunity.''
