Life… On the first day, God created the dog and said: "Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past. For this, I will give you a life span of twenty years." The dog said: "That's a long time to be barking. How about only ten years and I'll give you back the other ten?" God agreed. On the second day, God created the monkey and said: "Entertain people, do tricks, and make them laugh. For this, I'll give you a twenty-year life span." The monkey said: "Monkey tricks for twenty years? That's a pretty long time to perform. How about I give you back ten like the Dog did?" And God agreed. On the third day, God created the cow and said: "You must go into the field with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have calves and give milk to support the farmer's family. For this, I will give you a life span of sixty years." The cow said: "That's kind of a tough life you want me to live for sixty years. How about twenty and I'll give back the other forty?" And God agreed again. On the fourth day, God created man and said: "Eat, sleep, play, marry and enjoy your life. For this, I'll give you twenty years." But man said: "Only twenty years? Could you possibly give me my twenty, the forty the cow gave back, the ten the monkey gave back, and the ten the dog gave back; that makes eighty, okay?" Okay," said God, "You asked for it." So that is why for our first twenty years we eat, sleep, play and enjoy ourselves. For the next forty years we slave in the sun to support our family. For the next ten years we do monkey tricks to entertain the grandchildren. And for the last ten years we sit on the front porch and bark at everyone.
Brother Terry Warner [A friend tells of wanting to resolve a long standing disagreement between he and another man in his ward] I had intended to go over to this man's house between church meetings but was detained. Suddenly I saw this brother walk out of the church and cross the parking lot to his car. I cut short the conversation I was in and almost ran after him. When I caught up with him I put my hand on his shoulder from behind, turned him around, entwined our forearms, then pulled him close to me. When you pounce on someone like that it usually means that you have something important to say. But what was I supposed to say? I still wasn't sure what my offense was. It was not until the very moment I looked directly and deeply into this man's eyes for the first time in years that I could see my sin. At that moment I no longer saw him, I saw myself reflected! Where there had been no words to say, I found myself asking this good man for his forgiveness. "Why?" he asked. I heard myself reply, "Because I have loved you less. That is my sin: I have loved you less." Tears filled our eyes as I told him then that I loved him. He knew that I loved him. Whatever else I said after that really didn't matter much. I left him to return to the church. I glanced back once to see this good brother still standing where I had left him, his head down, and his shoulders gently rolling with his sobs. Question: What are the long term effects to us when we "love less"?
Luke 15 Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him. And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them. …And he said, A certain man had two sons: And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living. And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living. And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want. And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him. President McKay's Formula for Becoming Prodigals Pathways to Happiness, p. 238 1- Irritation at Restraint 2- Self Conceit 3. Extravagance 4. Intemperance (Addictions) 5. Riotous Living
Brother Warner [Lets look at] Lucifer's method of waging the Great War he began in heaven against his own brothers and sisters. He had proposed a scheme that he maintained would benefit us all, but was really for his own glory. When his self-nomination was rejected, he smarted with dissappointment and resentment, and set out to make anyone and everyone pay for his defeat. Unwilling, like many of us, to take responsibility for his sin, he sought to shift elsewhere; as John beheld in vision, he 'accused [his righteous brethren] before God day and night. (Rev.12:10) He spread his discontent to throngs of others, stoked their indignation, and marshaled them into a coalition sustained by their shared resentment.
Parable continued… And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants. And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son. But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry: For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.
Or put another way He watched his son gather all the goods that were his lot, anxious to be gone from tending flocks, the dullness of the fields. He stood by the olive tree gate long after the caravan disappeared where the road climbs the hills on the far side of the valley, into infinity. Through changing seasons he spent the light in a great chair, facing the far country, and that speck of road on the horizon. Mocking friends: "He will not come." Whispering servants: "The old man has lost his senses." A chiding son: "You should not have let him go." A grieving wife: "You need rest and sleep." She covered his drooping shoulders, his callused knees, when east winds blew chill, until that day... A form familiar, even at infinity, in shreds, alone, stumbling over pebbles. "When he was a great way off, His father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him." (Ensign, March 1983, p. 63)
Elder David B. Haight Arturo Toscanini, the late, famous conductor of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra, received a brief, crumpled letter from a lonely sheepherder in the remote mountain area of Wyoming: "Mr. Conductor: I have only two possessions—a radio and an old violin. The batteries in my radio are getting low and will soon die. My violin is so out of tune I can't use it. Please help me. Next Sunday when you begin your concert, sound a loud 'A' so I can tune my 'A' string; then I can tune the other strings. When my radio batteries are dead, I'll have my violin." At the beginning of his next nationwide radio concert from Carnegie Hall, Toscanini announced: "For a dear friend and listener back in the mountains of Wyoming the orchestra will now sound an 'A.'" The musicians all joined together in a perfect "A." The lonely sheepherder only needed one note, just a little help to get back in tune;... he needed someone who cared to assist him with one string; [after that] the others would be easy. ("People to People," Ensign, November 1981, p. 54.)
Elder Holland As surely as the rescue of the [handcarts] was the general conference theme of October 1856, so too is it the theme of this conference and last conference and the one to come next spring. It may not be blizzards and frozen-earth burials that we face this conference, but the needy are still out there—the poor and the weary, the discouraged and downhearted, … They are all out there with feeble knees, hands that hang down, and bad weather setting in. They can be rescued only by those who have more and know more and can help more. And don't worry about asking, "Where are they?" They are everywhere, on our right hand and on our left, in our neighborhoods and in the workplace, in every community and county and nation of this world. Take your team and wagon; load it with your love, your testimony, and a spiritual sack of flour; then drive in any direction. The Lord will lead you to those in need if you will but embrace the gospel of Jesus Christ that has been taught in this conference. Open your heart and your hand to those trapped in the twenty-first century's equivalent of Martin's Cove and Devil's Gate. In doing so we honor the Master's repeated plea on behalf of lost sheep and lost coins and lost souls. October Conference, 2006

BasicsWho: Michigan (9-7, 3-2) vs. Connecticut (11-5, 2-3) |
Michigan gets their second crack at a top 25 team inside the friendly confines of Crisler Arena. The first time around, Michigan pulled away from Ohio State for their best win of the year.
The style of basketball that these two teams play is dramatically different while the angst among the fan bases at this point in the season appears to be eerily similar. The UConn Blog's Andrew Porter manages to sum up his feelings in one play:
Gavin Edwards grabbed the ball and threw an outlet pass to Dyson. Dyson raced up the court and promptly lost control. He tried a desperation pass to Walker, but since he was already cutting to the hoop, Walker was out of position. Walker dived after the ball and, in an attempt to keep it inbounds, threw it right into the waiting arms of a Pitt defender. Game over. That play was UConn's entire season in 10 seconds — exciting, fast, athletic, fundamentally flawed and marred by a dumb turnover.
Porter compares Connecticut's season to their 2007 season that saw the Huskies go from preseason #18 to 6-10 in the Big East and missing out on the post-season entirely.
In the backcourt, Jerome Dyson (19 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists) and Kemba Walker (13 points, 6 assists) shoulder the load. Walker is an ultraquick setup man while Dyson is a bit taller at 6'4 and can rack up points in a hurry. It was Dyson who killed Michigan last year, scoring 19 points and hitting 3 out of 4 three pointers.
Similar to Michigan, Connecticut isn't a particularly deep team. Their bench plays on 16.6% of the team's minutes, the lowest number in the country. Ater Majok has actually started some games but the raw big man only plays about 10 minutes per game. Wing forward Jamal Coombs-McDaniel is the most likely player on Connecticut's bench to make an impact.
Connecticut is extremely athletic and a very good defensive team but they don't force many turnovers (17.9% opponent turnover rate). They play great eFG% defense, holding opponents to 42.2% eFG% and only 39% from two point range. Their field goal defense can obviously be attributed to being the best shotblocking team in the nation (20.9 Block%). Similar to last year's team they also do a very good job keeping opponents off of the free throw line (Opp. FTA/FGA = 21.2%, 4th nationally).
The good news for Michigan is that Connecticut shouldn't expose their newfound turnover problem. The bad news is that Michigan has been doing most of their scoring inside the arc – leaning on DeShawn Sims and Manny Harris. Sims has the tendency to clam up versus imposing defenders (8 points on 11 shots at UConn) and Harris' wild driving into the lane will likely be neutralized by UConn's length. It's going to be absolutely critical for someone to get hot from outside…
Offensively, the Huskies are almost a polar-opposite of the Wolverines. They shoot only 19% of their shots from three point range (fewest in the country) and rely almost entirely on pounding the ball inside. There aren't many glaring weaknesses on their offensive profile beyond their 66.8% free throw shooting. UConn does a good job of getting to the line (FTA/FGA = 44.6%) and crashing the offensive glass (36% OR%) while shooting 49.2% on their twos.
Michigan is in dire need of a signature win and Connecticut appears to fit the bill as a vulnerable top 25 team. That being said, it's tough to find much to like about this match-up if you're Michigan beyond the fact that you played well against them last year. Connecticut has a size advantage almost across the board and it will take a hell of an effort defensively and on the glass if Michigan wants to win this one.
Also: The game is a maize out and Michigan will be passing out 7000 "Rally Spinners". Your guess is as good as mine as to what exactly a rally spinner is, hopefully they are maize colored. Wear maize, get there early, be loud.

Does this scenario sound familiar:
You create a landing page after researching your target audience thoroughly — design every page element keeping the audience data in mind. After you're done creating the page, you connect it to your ads and wait for the straw to turn to gold.
But, Rumpelstiltskin never shows up.
Unphased, you start A/B testing the page. Make the button bigger, shorten the form, and craft a headline that showcases the offer's unique value proposition.
You wait for conversion rates to soar because countless online blogs and articles have guaranteed that's how you do things. But, you don't see the double digit conversion rate increase you were promised. In this case, there's no increase at all.
You ask yourself, "Now what?" Do you refer to those same online sources and find out altering which other element would help conversion rates or do you refer to the root of it all — the data.
This four letter word is where it all started. Before designing a single element on the page, you learned what your visitors preferred and created the page based on that.
So, why abandon data when the page is complete?
Every landing page is different. Some optimization techniques can be generalized, but this is all on chance because you can increase your CTA button's size or create a shorter form, for example, and there's no guarantee those changes will result in a higher conversion rate. If you want to take matters in your hands, start collecting data on your landing pages before you begin testing.
In the following sections we're going to discuss the data collection strategies you can use to start A/B testing your landing pages intelligently.
Landing pages are active testing grounds where your visitors perform in real time. Their actions and "inactions" help you understand if the combination of elements were persuasive enough for them to click the CTA button or if something should change to get them to convert.
When you don't collect user data, you don't have sufficient information how to create landing page variations that visitors will respond to. You end up blindly creating page variations that may not always generate positive results. Instead of being depressed due to lackluster results, start collecting quantitative and qualitative data so you can create conversion-worthy pages:
Marketers can use both types of data to identify what the page is lacking and use that information to A/B test and increase conversions.
Two tools come in handy when you are collecting quantitative data on your landing pages.
The basic starting point for diagnosing landing page starts here because it allows you to see what's happening on the back end.
Don't have a Google Analytics account? Set one up by following the steps mentioned in this video.
After you've setup the account, connect it to your landing page. With Instapage, the process requires a few simple steps:
1. Go to the Admin tab on your GA account:
2. Select the "Tracking Info" tab, then select the "Tracking Code" option. Doing so will reveal your unique tracking ID that you'll add to Instapage. It should look similar to the example below:
3. Go back to Instapage and find the Analytics button under the main page settings within the builder. It looks like this:
4. Now add the tracking ID:
You can also follow the steps in this help center article.
Now to access the quantitative data from your GA profile simply click the Behavior tab:
Go to "Site Content" and click "All Pages," which is where you'll find the quantitative data, such as:
You can take all of this data into account to see numerical proof of how well the page is doing.
We're proud to offer customers the industry's most advanced and powerful landing page analytics tool. Marketers can collect and view conversion data that makes it easy to A/B test their dedicated pages. From selecting display rate percentages:
To pausing, renaming, or resuming your variation:
With our tool you can track four metrics:
Armed with both Google Analytics and Instapage Analytics dashboard, you can collect a massive amount of quantitative data and start making more educated changes that will drive more conversions.
Analytics tools tell you what's happening on your page, qualitative data tell you why it's happening.
All qualitative data that you collect on landing pages is behavioral data because it consists of individual's' web browsing behaviors. Browsing behavior tells you how they reacted on a dedicated page. For example, you can check whether your call-to-action is attracting people and if visitors are attempting to fill out your form without friction.
There are essentially three techniques to collect behavioral data:
Let's see how you can use each data collection strategy in detail.
User recordings are recordings of the activity the visitor performs while on the page. From these recordings, you can find out on which part of the page your visitors spend the most time and which part they completely ignored. Also, learn what made visitors leave your page without completing the conversion goal.
For example, if you observe that your visitors spent some time on the page, but left without paying attention to the CTA button, you may consider tweaking the button copy and designing the button in a more contrasting color.
To get started with user recordings, check out Hotjar, Mouseflow, Inspectlet, and Lookback to collect some very interesting insights and modify your pages based on the data.
A heat map is a visual summary of data shown in different colors where yellow, green, orange, and red all have different intensity levels attached to them based on the user's interaction with a page. (The "hotter the color" the more attention that page element receives.) Heat maps are an easy representation of data, and you can see what visitors were doing with their mouse or trackpad while they were on the page.
There are three main types of heat maps:
TechWyse used heat maps to gather user data and see where the page needed improvement.
This was the original landing page:
Here's what the heat map looked like:
Data collected from the heat map allowed them to gather the following insights from the page:
This is the revised landing page TechWyse created after taking into account the insights collected from the heat map:
Heat maps provide a picture of user behavior for you to learn exactly what's stopping visitors from clicking the call to action button.
While heat maps and user recordings do give you lots of user data, you still have to observe and decipher what the collected data means. With surveys you don't have to do that.
With the help of surveys, your visitors give you answers to the questions you wanted. You can incorporate surveys and ask users a wide range of questions including "what did you like about this page," to "why are you leaving this page without clicking the CTA."
This is what Leadin does with their page:
You can also email surveys to your newly converted customers and ask them what made them click the CTA button.
Once you have gathered the survey results, create page variations based on that data.
You can use tools such as Omniconvert and Qualaroo to create surveys on landing pages.
Data is at the center of the conversion optimization process because even if something is working for your competitors' landing pages, that doesn't mean it will work for yours, too.
This is why you shouldn't solely rely on best practices when you're testing your page. Neither should you create page variations based on your gut.
Rely on the data instead! Collect user data and create variations for A/B tests using that data. This is the only thing that can guarantee an increase in conversion rate.
You can create and A/B test landing pages in minutes with Instapage. What's even better is that you can add tracking codes for heat maps and user recordings by adding a little HTML code.
Start collecting more data, make more sense of the data, and create page variations that generate more ROI with Instapage, today.

If you're looking for some of Des Moines best places to eat and enjoy good music this is the place! With places like Hessen Haus, Fongs Pizza and the Royal Mile, what's not to love?
Always a good time to be had at the local watering holes. No need to ask for a double, good quality service. Great music.
The food here is amazing, you cant go wrong. Try the Crab Ragoon pizza at Fong pizza The best though is the people watching.
It was hard to find it even with GPS, restaurant names from previous review helped. The street runs three blocks only, and there is really nothing to see apart from those few restaurants, which I didn't have time to visit. Maybe at summer time it's going to be nicer... As a traveler I'm disappointed.
4th Street, just off of Court Ave, has so many things to do. A good portion of my favorite restaurants are here: Royal Mile, Red Monk, Fongs Pizza, Java Joes. There's a few other restaurants/bars I haven't tried yet, mostly because my favorites are next door. Be mindful of the creepers in the hotels and overpriced grocery store. Parking is... More

Past participants in this signature program have included former Prime Minister of Pakistan Benazir Bhutto; Nobel Peace Prize Winner and Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf; Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratunga, the former and first woman President of Sri Lanka; animal biologist and environmentalist Jane Goodall; Iraqi activist Zainab Salbi; founder of Race for the Cure Nancy Brinker; Judith Jamison, the Artistic Director of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater; activist and author Gloria Steinem; and Olympic Gold Medalist and Tennis Champion Venus Williams.
Beyond Speeches
These women don't simply stand behind a podium and deliver prepared remarks when they visit our boarding school in Virginia. Their time with us is much more intimate than that. They meet and converse with students in class, in small-group discussions, over meals, as well as in the lecture hall. Our students prepare by working together in intensive study groups and presenting informative presentations to the entire school community prior to the visits.
"The girls were obviously so intelligent and their questions really made me think. I wish I could have attended a school like Chatham Hall." - Venus Williams

A priest disobeys church law to track down the vampires who kidnapped his niece.
Margaret: David:
Rated M
Review by David Stratton
PRIEST is one of those films set in a parallel world, where (in a clunky cartoon sequence at the beginning) we learn that Humans and Vampires have always been in conflict; warrior priests have helped vanquish the vampires, who are now confined to reservations while most humans live in walled cities.
But when the brother and sister-in-law of a man known only as Priest, PAUL BETTANY, are killed and their daughter, Lucy, LILY COLLINS, is kidnapped by renegade vampires led by a black hatted ex-priest, KARL URBAN, Priest defies Monsignor, CHRISTOPHER PLUMMER, to get her back, helped by the sheriff (CAM GIGANDET) who loves Lucy. Also along for the ride is Priestess (MAGGIE Q).
Like COWBOYS & ALIENS, this is a hybrid film, part sci-fi, part MAD MAX chase across barren wastelands, part western, with laboured references to THE SEARCHERS, and part vampire movie - though these vampires don't bear much relationship to the Dracula films, except that sunlight is a bother for them.
Based on a South Korean comic book, it's profoundly silly stuff, and will do nothing for the careers of anyone involved, including Paul Bettany and director Scott Stewart, the team that made the equally feeble LEGION. Some scenes on the train have a certain chill, but overall this is likely to short-change genre lovers.
Further comments
DAVID: Margaret?
MARGARET: I looked up the background of Scott Stewart and it seems he comes from a visual effects background and it's almost like, oh, well, this is what I'm interested in and, oh, damn, I've got to put characters in there and a story. What a nuisance.
DAVID: Well, it's not much of a story and they're not much in the way of characters.
MARGARET: No, but it looks all right. It's interesting that Paul Bettany had worked with Stewart before on LEGION and he's playing, an avenging angel in that, an avenging priest in this. There's not a lot of variation.
DAVID: I'm bored already.
MARGARET: You wonder why he's doing it and maybe it is to get the money to make the films that he's really interested in. I don't know.
DAVID: I think he should stop. I don't even want to see the other ones.
MARGARET: But I also think that there - Maggie Q is a really strong woman in this and I like that and, there were various elements about it. I'm reasonably scared. It's not a work of art but I'm giving it two and a half stars.
DAVID: I'm giving it one and a half.

THE STORY: Near the city of Cushing in Payne County, this haunted location that has been dubbed Ghost Hollow. Located about a mile north of the Cimarron River, in the late 1800's Ghost Hollow was an ideal spot for hanging outlaws. According to legend there was an old elm tree and a sycamore there where lawbreakers were often strung up. The elm tree is said to still stand today. According to legend, an innocent man was hanged there in 1887 and the next day, all of the bark mysteriously fell off of the tree. From that night on, at the time of the full moon, the tree is said to glow an eerie, white color. The natural effects of having no bark in the light of the moon. EVIDENCE: Anecdotal.
THE FACTS: Although the final graduating class at Norfolk High had only 5 graduates, the 11 room brick school closed its doors in 1958. The school grew up in wealth surrounded by a panorama of glistening oil tanks near Cushing. The school was built in 1922 in Payne County. The school has enjoyed a colorful record, heavily fringed in oil boom wealth of the early 1920's. Oil strikes and an upsurge in rural population in the area created a need for a high school, and in 1922 a small, frame building went up. In 1925 a fire reduced the school to rubble, and caused the school to rebuild with a more up-to-date building. In 1926 they constructed the still standing brick structure with 11 rooms, gymnasium, auditorium, workshops and dressing rooms. The teaching staff was increased to seven, with a full time superintendent. A full fledged athletic program also was inaugurated and special classroom equipment was installed. Norfolk soon became a school to be envied by its city cousins. Then with the passing of the oil play subsided, and the round-bellied oil tanks ringing the school echoed fading dreams and was closed due to financial problems and low enrollment. The building remains abandoned. THE STORY: According to local legend two children were trapped in the basement during the fire in 1925. It is said that the voices of children calling out for help can be heard in the basement today. EVIDENCE: Anecdotal

The School is very erie even in the day time, but it is something worth experiencing. The girls I went with weren't willing to explore as deep as I did, and I found the basement to be the most interesting spot. It has large furnaces that resemble things you would see in a horror movie, but over-all I felt peaceful. Although, that may not be saying much seeing as how the others ran out crying uncontrolably.
ReplyDeleteWent tonight&looked for satans house, then explored the school. It's not scary at all. I want to take a weji (however its spelt) out there and see what's up!!
ReplyDeleteI used to go to Norfolk school a lot! I had a buddy that came out of.the basement one night with bleeding scratch marks down his back. Its pretty legit! I have to say the scariest place I've been would have to be ghost hollow. One night me and some buddies and our "girls for the summer" went out there to get drunk, and when we started walking toward the old bridge we heard a woman start laughing "like a crazy laugh" everyone piled back into my truck and we left. Later that night we went back with my Ouija board, and long story short.. I threw that Ouija board off the bridge and left out of that place at about 90 mph, and still to this day refuse to return to that spot after dark.

Is it just me or is the whole "4th of July on a Wednesday" throwing anyone else for a loop? The thought of planning, prepping for and celebrating at a gathering in the middle of the work week is quite an overwhelming challenge. It is rushed holiday planning like this that can tempt even the best of us to take the easy way out with pre-made, and often-times unhealthy, dishes.
The temptation had just about gotten me when I remembered the yummy, but easy-to-make, Strawberry Swirl Angel Pie recipe we shared last 4th of July! It requires minimal ingredients, only one hour of prep time and offers your guests a healthier dessert option.
Find the full recipe and instructions for Frozen Strawberry Swirl Angel Pie in last year's 4th of July post, or on the American Diabetes Association's website.
Quick time saving tip: No time to make your own pie crust? Purchase a pre-made crust at your local grocery store, but be sure to account for the nutritional information accordingly.
While this recipe may work great for July 4th festivities, I could definitely use a few more simple yet healthy recipes for future time crunches like this. What are your "go-to" recipes for hectic holiday planning? Share them in the comments section below!
Have a happy and safe Independence Day!

Homemade Chocolate Marshmallows
Recipe by C. Taylor
This looked so good, I had to post it here for safe keeping. I mean what could be better than chocolate marshmallows? I got this off About.com. I'm guessing at the quantities and time.
Top Review by duonyte
These were so good! The only things I did different was to allow the gelatin to bloom for at least 30 minutes and to cook the sugar syrup to 244 degrees, based on my success with a different recipe. It was just amazing to see the brown viscous fluid turn into a brown and beautiful fluff. They were a great hit at a fondue party I attended. I am thinking a little rum extract might be a nice addition. I let mine sit about 18 hrs before cutting, and used a pizza wheel-type cutter, which worked wonderfully.
See Discussion:
2 ReviewsIngredients Nutrition
- 1⁄3 cup cocoa powder, plus
- 4 tablespoons cocoa powder, divided
- 1 1⁄4 cups water, plus
- 2 tablespoons water, divided
- 3 tablespoons gelatin (equivalent of 3 packets)
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 3⁄4 cup light corn syrup
- 1⁄2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 12 ounces chopped chocolate (optional) or 12 ounces chocolate, coating (optional)
- Prepare a 9x13 pan by lining it with aluminum foil and spraying the foil liberally with nonstick cooking spray.
- Place 1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp water in a small microwave-safe bowl, and microwave for 2 minutes. Pour 1/3 cup cocoa powder over the hot water, and stir or whisk to dissolve the cocoa.
- Place 1/2 cup cold water in the bowl of a large stand mixer. Sprinkle the gelatin on top and stir briefly to distribute. Let gelatin sit and dissolve for at least 5 minutes.
- Spoon warm cocoa mixture into gelatin, and stir or mix on low to thoroughly combine.
- Place remaining 1/2 cup of water, corn syrup, and sugar in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir to dissolve the sugar, and insert a candy thermometer.
- Allow the mixture to cook without stirring until it reaches 240 degrees on the thermometer. Brush down the sides occasionally with a wet pastry brush to avoid crystallization. While the candy cooks, briefly run the mixer on low once or twice to ensure the gelatin and cocoa is well-mixed.
- Once the candy reaches the proper temperature, remove it from the heat immediately. Turn the mixer to low, and slowly pour the hot syrup into the mixer bowl. Be careful, as the syrup is extremely hot. If you have a large (at least 3 cup) liquid measuring cup with a spout, you can transfer the hot syrup to the cup before pouring to make it easier.
- Gradually increase the speed of the mixer until it running on high. Whip the marshmallow mixture for 15-20 minutes, or until it is stiff and shiny. You can tell it is done when you stop the mixer and lift up the beater, the marshmallow will slowly drip back down into the bowl in a thick, shiny stream.
- Pour the marshmallow into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Allow it to sit and firm up at room temperature for at least 10 hours.
- Sift the powdered sugar, 4 tbsp cocoa powder, and cornstarch together. Cover your workstation with waxed paper to protect it, and liberally sprinkle the surface with the sugar/starch mixture. Sprinkle the top of the marshmallow with the sugar/starch coating, and flip the marshmallow face down onto the prepared surface.
- Carefully peel back the foil from the marshmallow. Spray a large smooth-bladed knife with nonstick cooking spray, and coat both sides with the coating powder. Cut the marshmallow into squares, coating the knife blade with sugar/starch as needed. Roll the cut edges of the marshmallows in the coating mixture so that all sides are smooth and not sticky.
- If desired, melt 12 ounces chocolate coating (or temper 12 ounces chocolate) and dip the cut marshmallows halfway into the chocolate. The chocolate needs to be able to set without refrigeration (which will ruin the texture of the marshmallows) so use only tempered chocolate or chocolate coating for dipping.
- To save marshmallows, store them in a dry airtight container in a temperate, dry location. Do not refrigerate them or keep them in a very humid place. Fresh marshmallows go stale after about a week, so these are best eaten soon after they are made.

Base Camp
Base Camps were large perminant instillations that conained the combat support services and empty homes of field units. As a battery we spent 3 days in base camp during my 376 day tour and our "rear area" was staffed by a few people. Tay Ninh had a PX, a post office, various medical units and normal support units. Hong Kong and Korean taylors had shops where a sharp custom made suit could be had for $20 to $30 on delivery. A local capitalist opened a steam bath/massage parlor and lines formed for admission. Getting a seam bath in the heat of Vietnam made little sense without the young female Vietnamese massage workers

from roger rosenblatt, author of the acclaimed memoirs making toast, kayak morning, and the boydetective, comes another lyrical meditation on and celebration of a universal and elusive subject
In The Book of Love, Roger Rosenblatt looks at love in all its themes and variations romantic love, courtship, marriage, battle, heartbreak, fury, confusion, melancholy, beauty, delirium, ecstasy; love of lovers, family, friends, of country, of work, writing, solitude, of art; love of nature; love of life itself.
Using lines from love songs to create a kind of verbal jazz riff, as infectious as it is engaging, Rosenblatt intersperses thoughts about love and fictional vignettes that capture a variety of lovers in different situations with notes addressed to you, his wife of fifty years. The story I have to tell is of you. Of others, too. Other people, other things. But mainly of you. It begins and ends with you. It always comes back to you. Pieces follow upon one another in a continuous progression, as if composing one long song that flows through the entire mystery and magic of what it means to love and be in love. What is this thing called love? Lively yet profound, poignant yet joyous, The Book of Love is a triumph of intellect and imagination.
Forget the flowers and candy. This year s ultimate Valentine s Day treat is Roger Rosenblatt s impressionistic riff on what makes the heart beat faster. O, The Oprah Magazine"

THE WORLD HAS BEEN INVADED BY ALIENS! It's up to a nerdy, lazy high school kid to save it!
3.83 / 5.00 6,686 ViewsRtil: all i have to say is that it's my first game ever and it was lots of fun animating butlers prancing around
Corky: Ummm...this was..interesting to work on...
Flash 8 Needed!
Best works on Medium / Low quality.
Thanks to Luksy for the 'Yes sir' and 'Of course sir' ^_^
I thought this would have something to do with Ask Jeeves. I guess I should know "Jeeves" is simply a title many butlers have. It was weird how it suddenly turned demonic. Of course, that was fairly unexpected. I did like how everything was arranged pretty clearly. It was even somewhat original.
While it isn't that memorable, it does have some stuff going for it. When I think of games of volleyball, I think of bikini women. I wouldn't have wanted to see these guys scantily clad. Well, admittedly, by male standards, they're not that bad. Yeah, I'm shutting up now.
hate how the camera only only focuses on one person really makes it difficult to predict where the ball will land would have been really nice if the camera zoomed out a bit more so it would kind of focus on both players instead of not knowing where my butler is.
Very fun, amusing, and original! I love the concept. I LOVE THIS GAME! :D

Convert pkg-list into PLIST_FILES/DIRS. While static plists are good in a number of ways (e.g. greppability), in this particular case it was hardly useful feature: lots of PLIST_SUB's (literally, every line of pkg-plist is substituted up to four times). It turned out that maintaining even a short plist like this one and keeping all PLIST_SUB's consistent causes just too much hassle.

Today I solved a long-standing personal mystery: why were there so few people who attended the regular Easter masses at church.
And the answer: they all attended the Pagsugat.
Pagsugat, a Visayan word, means Meeting. Its Tagalog equivalent is Sugatan. It's a long-standing Filipino Easter tradition whereby the Risen Christ meets His Mother.
Oh, I know, it's not mentioned anywhere in the Bible. But wouldn't it stand to reason that the very first person Jesus Christ would appear to after His resurrection would be His Beloved Mother? It's just so very human.
The local Pagsugat started out at 3:30AM from the parish grounds. There were two processions, one accompanying the image of the Risen Christ, the other with the Blessed Virgin Mary. They took different routes around the barangay. The meeting point would be at Victoria Plaza.
Mom and I arrived at the site at around 3:45AM. Already there was a huge gathering. All in all, I estimated around at least 2,000 people, young and old alike. It seemed like the entire neighborhood was there for the event.
Other Pagsugat celebrations would have a child, dressed as an angel, hoisted up on a wire to lift up the veil from the statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It's a cute touch, but the church community decided to eschew such acrobatics in favor of a choir.
The choir, composed of kids in angel regalia, were high up on two platforms. At 4:00AM, they were already singing in anticipation of the actual meeting. The images came in, brought on the shoulders of devotees.
At around 4:30AM, the Mass started. T'was an open-air Mass on the parking lot. Ordinarily, I don't like having the celebration outside church, but this was a great exception.
Now, lest you think this was such a holy event, here's a real mood spoiler: Possibly the only incident to mar this Christian celebration happened when two kids tried to sneak away with our chairs. Since the event was outdoors, it was wise to bring our own chairs, which we did. While I was away taking photos, my Mom stood up to stretch her legs. Two young girls sat on our chairs. Mom didn't shoo them away, thinking they just needed a bit of rest.
Then Mom turned away momentarily, and when she looked back, the two girls were already walking away with the chairs. Mom snarled (ah, that's where I got that trait) and grabbed our furniture. Said shameless girls just pretended like nothing happened.

After reading the reviews, I was freaked out! It is not that bad, if you have low expectations. The worse part is that its in the middle of nowhere... you need a car to get in and out, since there is, literally, NOTHINg, NO PLAce to eat (except their cafeteria, which is pricey), no where to walk... they offer transportation to NYC for $15, which is a good price... They were very helpful in accomodating us (two rooms, next to each other), but the hotel was empty. They were also nice enough, so no complaints in service. Nothing was dirty, and that was the most important part!
The airport shuttles are always full, so you need to be there early...
BTW, you hear the airplanes from all the rooms...

19Ten Ways to Eat Local, Seasonal Food All Year
Food Prices Too High? Tired of overpriced, undersatisfying meals? Want to have fresh, local food on hand all year-round? Ten Ways looks at eating local, fresh and delicious.
It's not hard to see the value in local, seasonal food, but how does one go about finding it, preparing it, and saving a little money along the way? Check out this installment of Ten Ways for a few tips on enjoying wonderful food 365 days a year.
Grow Something Edible
Planting seeds, starts or other edible living things in and around your home (wild yeast cultures or sprouts count too) are great ways to have fresh, delicious food on hand. Plus, it's cheap. Seed packages start at less than a dollar, soil or compost can be purchased (or found) at pennies per pound, and water in the form of rain or out of the tap are both economical choices. Aside from an investment of time, growing your own food requires little else.
The rewards of growing your own food are almost endless, but include: less time spent driving to the store, fresh ingredients on hand at all times, an understanding of the seasons, which can help you eat better tasting food (see #2 below), and carbon sequestration in its most delicious form, food.
No matter what your living situation, it is possible for you to grow some food at a very low price premium. Do you live in an apartment with no sunlight or fixed windows, or worse yet, a basement apartment? Never fear, many cities have community gardens that make it possible for city slickers to grow a little food on the side.
Rent a spot for yourself, or split one with friends. It's a great way to raise some edibles while hanging with your friends. I've also described how to grow food on your fire escape in a previous post!
- Seed Savers Exchange – an organization dedicated to preserving heirloom seeds and unusual varieties
- iVillage Garden Web – an open forum on community gardens
- Your local hardware store, nursery or garden center. Call or visit them.
Eat Seasonal Food
Food is at its most affordable when it is purchased in season. Not surprisingly, fruits and vegetables are also at their most flavorful and freshest when they are in season. Find out what's in season in your area at which time of year, and harvest!
As this year's growing season draws to a close in many parts of the country, people are harvesting their summer and fall crops. This is a great time of year to preserve, dry and can (more about that later), but it's also a great time to taste the bounty of fresh, delicious food that is out there.
- What's in Season (by state) from Sustainable Table
- Eat Local, Natural Resources Defense Council
- Pick Your Own – Select your state to view the harvest calendar.
- Seasonal Food Guides from Eat Well Guide
Cook at Home
Food is more expensive when you eat it at a restaurant. I know, I know: "But I can't cook!" In most cases, if you can boil water, you can cook a meal at home that will be satisfying, tasty, comfortable, and cheaper than going out to eat. Plus, you can keep some leftovers for tomorrow's bag lunch.
It's true, restaurants have a few things that your kitchen and dining room (most likely) don't: ambiance, sommeliers (fancy wine folk), draft beer, live music, fancy china, and exotic ingredients. These things are great for special occasions, or when you just feel like gettin' fancy and out of the house.
However, most of us eat our meals out at a burger/pizza/burrito joint, or in the car on the way home. This kind of eating out usually doesn't have most of the aforementioned luxuries, and has few of the comforts associated with eating at home.
When you cook at home, you decide how spicy your tacos are going to be, or how much chocolate to put in the brownies, or when the spaghetti is al dente. You've got all of the freedom, and you can eat dinner in your pajamas or a tuxedo if you want to, eat by yourself without feeling embarrassed, or have twenty of your closest friends over to enjoy a meal with you, and watch a movie later with all the money you saved.

Shop at Farmers' Markets
Local food is fresher than non-local food because it doesn't have to be picked long before its peak ripeness and shipped cross-country. To boot, if you buy food in season at Farmer's Markets, you're probably saving money and getting fresher food than if you were to shop at the Big Box Mart (BBM).
In addition, you might be able to form a relationship with the farmer that grows the food you're going to eat. They're usually happy to answer questions about their farming practices, and some farmers may even let you in on information about their harvest calendar to give you a jump on when the freshest tomatoes will be ready, or when the corn is coming to market.
Knowing the people that grow your food, on a personal level, also provides a little extra security if, say, jalapenos are not available at the BBM due to an outbreak of foodborne illness, and you'd like to make salsa that night for a dinner party. Your local farmer might just have a few spare jalapenos on hand, or know someone who does.
- Find Farmers' Markets at Local Harvest using their search tool
- Find a Farmers' Market from USDA listings and learn about them
- Learn even more from the National Sustainable Agriculture Information Service
Join a CSA
Developing that personal relationship with local farmers can go one step further with a harvest box from a Community-Supported Agriculture (CSA) farm. In this case, farmers will sell you a share in their produce for the growing season at a flat rate, and you'll get a box each week with whatever is freshest on their farm. CSA's have grown in popularity in recent years, and many farms have long waiting lists.
Some people go in on harvest boxes together to save money, and for those who can afford the investment up front, it ensures that you'll be able to eat your veggies all year long. Some farms even have an installment payment plan or plans for low-income folks who are interested.
It may be too late to join up this year, but it's never too late to get to know your local farmers, and when signup time rolls around in the spring, you'll be on a first-name basis with them.

Cook Simple Meals
If you've been cooking for years from gourmet cookbooks that require 15 to 20 ingredients per dish, simple meals may not be in your habit. However, if you're new to cooking simple dishes may be your ticket to great food at a low price, with tons of flavor. If you start by selecting foods that are in-season or were preserved in-season, simple recipes show off the delicious, fresh ingredients. High-quality ingredients don't need a lot of dressing up to taste good, so less is more in their case.

- RecipeZaar: 5 or Less Ingredients – Ability to search thousands of 5 recipe or less dishes.
- Cooks.com: 5 Ingredients or Less – You get the idea…
Have a Potluck
Inviting your friends over for a shared dinner, or meeting at a local spot (park, Elks hall, church, etc.) is a great way to share good food and stay on a budget. There is a bounty when everyone participates, and you can get a much greater variety of good food when you're joined by 10 others. If you all plan to share your leftovers, there may even be enough for a late-night snack or lunch the next day.
Eating together with friends also connects us with our most basic of human needs, harvesting food and sharing it together with those in our "clan". We've been doing it for thousands of years. Why not make it a regular event, and act like humans together?
- In case you need instructions, eHow breaks down planning a potluck
- LuckyPotluck: a site dedicated to – you guessed it – having a potluck!
Buy Local Foods
Getting to know your local producers connects you with your food in a unique way. When you know what's in season in your area, and you know the people who make it on a personal level, the food becomes much more than just sustenance, but is also a community-building event. Knowing the people that produce local food also builds ties in the local community.
By trading your money (that you earned in the community) with local producers of food, you're keeping the money in your community, not sending it off to the corporate headquarters of BBM. You can find local bakeries, coffee shops, breweries, vegetable markets, ethnic food stores, etc. that are owned by individuals in your community by consulting the phone book, local message boards, or a community hall or meeting place. Look for the local folks, and support your neighbors!
Use the Whole Thing
Cook a whole chicken. Roast for dinner one night, chicken soup from the stock the next, and pulled chicken tacos the third night, chicken salad sandwiches for lunch the third day. Four meals from one chicken, and that's without using the bones!
Seriously though, this is a very economical way to cook, and one that is totally enjoyable. These things take time, but the holidays are a great time to practice, and the more you do it, the better you'll get at it.
The point is, with a few additional ingredients, you can "stretch" the meal out to three or four day's worth of food and not really feel like you're eating the same roasted chicken four days in a row. This is frugal, and (as Alton Brown says) Good Eats.
- Jamie Oliver on multiple dish cooking, especially chicken
- Chicken Cycle (multiple dishes that cascade from one preparation, like a whole roasted chicken) from An Obsession with Food and Wine
Dry, Preserve, and Pickle
We people must preserve food to survive, especially in rough climates. Pickling, drying, or freezing is something that anyone can do, and drying and freezing are two of the cheapest and easiest methods.
Almost anything can be prepared, then frozen, and many things can be frozen whole or raw and added to prepared foods after thawing. Preserving food is a great way to make your food dollars go a little bit further, and you can save your fresh produce for a rainy (or snowy) day.
- National Center for Home Food Preservation – Check the Publications section, where the Center has some of their publications and some good info. from other sources.
- Cooperative Extension – Check your local extension university (usually the state school or land-grant university) for publications on food preparation that are usually free. The information is really useful and intended for a wide audience. This is a great resource for any home or garden questions.

Great post on sane, economic, green eating.
America the Beautiful Fund's Operation Green Plant program provides grants of vegetable, flower and herb seed for community planting projects nation wide. We collect donations of surplus seed stock from major American seed companies that would otherwise end up in landfills and grant them out to groups and individuals who garden for hunger relief, nutrition education, habitat preservation (can't have a garden with out those honey bees!)environmental stewardship and a variety of other good works accomplished through gardening. Help us plant the "Seeds that Grow Hope"!! http://www.freeseeds.us
I can't grow food to save my life, but sprouts are very easy, inexpensive and highly nutritious. Great article!
In line with "Grow Something Edible" and "Buy Local Foods" is harvesting something local, especially if you lack room to grow your own. Find friends or neighbors with fruit and vegetable surpluses. Help them with harvesting (and growing if you can). Look for community harvesting organization (ones that harvest for donations to nonprofits), or start one (even if it's small scale).
I completely agree Farmers' Markets are the best. They are not only the cheapest, but I find they have so much more flavor. Thanks for the great ideas, sometimes I need to remind myself of what else I could be doing.
Fantastic articles. A little biased since the writer is our son. Farmers markets are great. Simple meals need to be a staple especially with environmental factors and stresses. Growing fresh just tastes so much better than store purchased. Love tomatoes and crave that juicy, fresh taste. Supporting local is really important. Bryan you have opened up avenues for people to enjoy the simple pleasures of healthful food choice. Love it. Parents are proud.
Nice resources to help folks search for local food markets and recipes!
Great post – the Food movement is the best example of things working well at the local level.

Microsoft has just announced some potentially devastating news. Well, devastating to those folks who wanted to be able to boot Windows on their Intel-based Macs. Contrary to earlier assumptions, Microsoft Vista, the company s next major operating system, will not support EFI, the method used by MacIntels during boot up. EFI, which Intel hopes is to replace BIOS, will not be supported by Microsoft until Longhorn Server, due out next year. In short, this means that MacIntel users won t simply be able to put in a Vista install disc and have it just work. Expect hackers to have this problem licked in no time.AdvertisementSorry, MacTel owners: Windows Vista won't support EFI [Engadget]
