Dress for Success
There's certain jobs where looking the part has a direct impact on success. If you're a lawyer, you gotta wear the suit and tie and get a fucking haircut. If you're the trim coordinator for a moderately successful band in the 70s, you better look exactly like this guy, or no one is going to take you seriously at your job.
For those interested, the band whose shirt this is Aliotta Haynes Jeremiah. I never heard of them until now.

Sharpie Time
Oh boy, this is gonna be good. What's he gonna draw???? A dick? The "Michelle Bombshell" (swastika on forehead)? Arrow pointing to mouth that says "balls enter here"?
Hmm.. a fancy mustache. Ok, I don't want to be all Monday morning quarterback here, because we all know those that can't, teach; but really I think I could have come up with something with a little more OOMPH. Strong effort, but not good enough for the gold. It's not that I'm upset with you, I'm just disappointed.

Why I Love St. Patrick's Day
I can't stand when people say they don't like St. Patrick's Day. What's not to like? St. Patrick's Day is basically New Year's Eve without the "pressure" that everyone complains about. You don't have to worry about doing something exciting, you just show up at a bar and drink a shitload and watch some high school marching and in a parade (and if you're lucky, teenagers getting drunk). Is this insufferable to you? You hate fun and merriment?
Can you really tell me this is not the best day ever? Haven't the Irish people sufffered enough without you raining on their parade? As the Cranberries would say, do you have to let it linger? Zombie, zombie, zombeheheheheh?

An Education in Partying
I keep saying it and I'll say it again: the most fun you'll have is a dance party in your living room with your friends. Except Gloomy Gus over here on the couch hasn't been clued into this yet and thinks that there might actually be something else better going on in the world than where he is right now. Wrong-o, buddy. This is the end of the line.
Thanks to Jesse for this pic.

What Do All the People Know
I was desperately searching the internet to no avail to find an mp3 of the song "What Do All the People Know" by the Monroes (if anyone has this - let me know, I think the record is out of print). It's a somewhat obscure power pop song from 1982 that was the band's only hit, and it was barely a hit anyway.
That's why I was so excited to find this video of a drunk frat boy singing along to all the lyrics and dancing beside what appears to be the aftermath or a beer pong game:
Seriously, if anyone has an mp3, talk to me. This song is really good.
UPDATE: Thanks to everyone who sent me this! Change your life here:

My first check went pretty well, all in all. Low water and cool temps are sure making it tough. A lot of my coon sets were under ice. Due to the lack of water trappers are a lot more concentrated as well. If you see water, you can bet your ass there's a trap in it.
Tomorrow I will be doing some pulling and setting in new grounds. Hope the weather hold out for us. Got more fur to catch. I'll keep you posted!

WASHINGTON, July 16 (UPI) -- A White House spokesman Tuesday rejected suggestions President Obama's healthcare act is reducing full-time employment, as opposed to part-time.
Under the 2010 Affordable Care Act's employer mandate -- which has been delayed -- employers with at least 50 full-time employees must offer affordable insurance or pay fines.
But a report in The Wall Street Journal said employers have added more part-time employees in 2013, about 93,000 a month, than full-time workers, averaging about 22,000 a month. The Journal said in 2012 employers hired 31,000 part-time workers and 171,000 full-time workers per month.
In response to reporters' questions, White House press secretary Jay Carney said the suggestion that employers are hiring part-time workers rather than full-time ones to avoid the employer mandate is "belied by the facts."
"I would say broadly that if you look at the economic data, the suggestion that the ACA is reducing full-time employment is ... belied by the facts," Carney said. "So, you know, what the ACA allows is the opportunity for individuals ... who could not prior to passage of the Affordable Care Act afford insurance to get insurance. And it provides subsidies for those who need help in affording it. And it assists businesses in that effort so that they can provide insurance to their employees. And, again, the ... broader data here does not reflect that assertion. You know, I don't have a specific response to the story you're citing. But I think the data is ... very clear on this."
The Hill said the employer mandate came under renewed scrutiny after the administration delayed it for an additional year because bureaucratic issues still needed to be resolved.
The administration has also said under the law businesses can pool with other employers to reduce their costs and achieve more competitive rates, The Hill reported.
Meanwhile, The Hill reported U.S. House Speaker John Boehner Tuesday blasted a weekend contention by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid that the act, commonly called Obamacare, has been "wonderful for America."
"Are you kidding me? If Obamacare is so wonderful, why are healthcare prices exploding?" Boehner, R-Ohio, asked on the House floor. "Why are millions of Americans getting kicked out of their plans? Why are so many workers losing their jobs or getting their hours cut?
"The law isn't wonderful, it's a train wreck, and you know it, I know it, and the American people know it," he said. "Even the president knows it, that's why he proposed delaying this mandate on employers."

My path to a raw vegan diet of primary fruits and vegetables was littered with potholes. First, my family strongly believed that eating completely raw vegetables would have serious ramifications on my health and diabetes. Second, how do I overcome the craving for cooked foods?
The first few weeks were very difficult. I was often tempted to start gorging on cooked food. At such times, I would have a little dialogue with myself and ask: "Why do I yearn for this food so much? Do I have an emotional attachment to this food? Do I have memories associated with it?" Then I would remind myself of the intention I had set myself and how poorly I felt on a cooked diet. I was resolute. What stood me in good stead at such times was to observe the movements of my mind.
Having overcome initial challenges, I began to feel improvements. A few weeks later, one day I woke up and I just felt different like I had unlimited energy. I was transformed from feeling so ill and fatigued to feeling my best and fully alive. Feeling self love, understanding self-worth and living in the moment, I felt better than I had ever felt before.
Most people have no idea how good their bodies can feel when they are nourished with the right nutrition. Too many stuff their bodies with foods that have no real nutritional value. This only numbs us and creates physical and mental sickness. This is not living. In depleting our bodies we are potentially inviting a slow death, evident in the huge increase in obesity, diseases and mental ill health in our time. We must be the change we want to see in the world. It starts with the food we feed our bodies or what we feed our minds and souls with.

Counselors can help guide you through this difficult time.
Drug Rehabilitation Program Laughlin
Fear and apprehension are commonly the greatest obstacles to rehabilitation, which is usually a long and challenging endeavor that will almost always require help from professionals. Getting the proper support and guidance, you can overcome your addiction.
At Drug Rehabilitation Facility Laughlin we have a full spectrum of addiction recovery programs to participants that come to our facility struggling with addiction problems. Individuals that get dependent on drugs like vicodin, percocet, lortab, heroin, cocaine, meth and other drugs that cause abuse and addiction are typically at a loss of how to recover on their own. We have provided help to countless individuals to beat their addiction with our extensive rehabilitation methods and recovery principles.
The first step of our program is our detox regimen. After a person has taken an addictive substance regularly for a period of time an addiction develops for the drug. When this happens it is often not medically safe to abruptly quit without professional help from a medically monitored detox process. Habit-forming substances such as alcohol, cocaine, heroin, meth, crack, xanax, vicodin and many others produce a wide variety of withdrawal symptoms such as anxiety, agitation, insomnia, muscle aches, vomiting, sweating, diarrhea, cramping, nausea, lethargy and other symptoms.
At Drug Treatment Facility Laughlin we offer the often necessary medical assistance to help out clients be as comfortable as possible in the withdrawal process. We offer 24 hour around the clock care and support during this critical first step in the treatment process. Program participants often state that they feel a great sense of accomplishment when they have completed our detoxification process.
An essential part of recovering from addiction is to realize that you have a problem. An individual who refuses to accept they are addicted cannot move forward to solving a problem they deny they have. For many, when it comes to taking a honest look into their addiction situation, also requires the individual to look at why and how they got addicted in the first place. Addiction commonly happens when someone starts taking the drug or alcohol to relieve physical and/or emotional pain in order to minimize negative feelings and emotions. If an individual doesn't figure out the underlying issues fueling their addiction and does not receive help, it will be extremely difficult for them to fully recover from their addiction.
Recognizing that you have a problem is an extremely critical part of recovery from drug addiction or alcoholism. In addition you also need to have the desire to do what is needed to change your life. Taking a look at all the reasons for making a change keep you focused and motivated on rehabilitation. Many people find it helpful to make a list the reasons why they want to put an end to their addiction. Reasons could include wanting to be a better mother/father, experience more joy in life, to feel more accomplished and successful, repair relationships with family and friends, to improve your health, or to reverse other negative situations caused by your addiction.
Do not only concentrate and be absorbed on the problems as a result of your substance abuse, as focusing in on the negative things of the past usually makes one feel hopeless. Rather, focus on your future and recovery. Focus on the positive things that will surely happen when you have recovered from addiction. At Drug Rehab Center Laughlin we will help you to embrace your new opportunities for a new, brighter future. A future fulfilling past forgotten goals and dreams in your newly created drug-free lifestyle. You will be healthier, have more energy and enthusiasm, be more secure financially, have stable relationships, be more productive at work, and have time to have fun and experience new hobbies. Taking the time to write down these goals can keep you excited and motivated during the rehabilitation process.
Long Term Treatment Plan
At Drug Treatment Laughlin we believe that the most important factor in determining success is whether the person has truly overcome their addiction. Success can only be determined by the patient's belief in their ability to remain sober. Short term rehabilitation programs commonly fall short of this goal.
We feel that it is critical not to be under time restraints while in rehabilitation. The time that you spend in treatment can offer a lifetime of sobriety, it is definitely worth the investment of whatever time that it needs. We locate the underlying issues that will be at the root of the addiction. We will help you to fix the damages that you have caused in your life so that you are not filled with senses of overwhelming shame, regret and disappointment. You will be taught life skills, coping skills and relapse prevention techniques so that you are not just sober when you leave, but know how to stay clean and sober for the rest of your life. We know that you want your life back and we are here to provide you a way to achieve it.
Relapse Prevention
Although the only person who can change you is you. At Drug Rehabilitation Program Laughlin it helps to be immersed in a strong support network to help you succeed. That said, hold onto the people in your life that are supportive and positive. On the other hand, be cautious about retaining the unsupported and negative people in your life, like past associates that still use drugs, or relationships that make you feel incapable or inadequate.
Detox is only the initial phase in a long process of recovery at Drug Treatment Laughlin; But will also help you to recognize the the things that trigger your addiction. Stress, anxiety, inhibitions, lacking confidence etc. are all potential triggers for substance abuse. Practicing healthy relapse prevention concepts and skills will help you to combat and overcome the cravings and urges to fall back into addictive behaviors. Our facility activities include exercise, nutrition, cognitive education therapy, drug education, life skills, coping skills, craving and relapse prevention education and training.

Niagara Lubricant Company Inc., a Buffalo, NY base manufacturer and packager of lubricating oils, greases, industrial oils and tire care products has been serving Western New York and the World since 1923. Our facility in the Black Rock section of Buffalo has the capabilities to package various items from one ounce tubes to large scale production totes.
In April of 1923, three lubricant salesmen, Ferris Wentworth, Joe Wilson and Charlie Sutton decided to start their own lubricant company. In a rented garage behind Dodds Dairy across from the War Memorial Stadium (once home of the Buffalo Bills, Buffalo Bisons and used as the New York Knights home field during the filming of the movie "The Natural") the Niagara Lubricant Company was born. Ferris wife Norma, became an active member of the company during the 1920s and kept the books for the emerging company. Despite Ferris failing sight, the company continued to grow and prosper under Ferris leadership.
In 1928, the partners purchased property on Manitoba Street in the Clinton Bailey Market area of Buffalo. The building was former NB Fails Oil Company, which was a Gulf Oil facility. Initially, Niagara Lubricant Company was a distributor for Hivis Oil, but Ferris, Joe and Charlie decided to become an independent. The trio began to purchase oil directly from the Sonneborn Refinery in Petrolia, PA and created the private label Nia-Penn Motor Oil.
The Depression was a difficult time for the company both financially and personally. The Nia-Penn label kept the company going, but these years also saw the departure of Joe Wilson from Niagara Lubricant. However, despite these trials, Niagara Lubricant continued to gain a place in the Buffalo marketplace.
As the Depression era came to an end, Niagara Lubricant was able to resume its initial growth pace of the 1920s. Ferris, now blind, was appointed Commissioner For The Blind by then New York State Governor Thomas Dewey. Ferris worked diligently as both Commissioner and Niagara Lubricant President, and he well known and loved by all. The company prospered during the World War II years, but in 1945, Charlie Sutton departed the company to open his own firm in Lockport, NY.
Ferris death in 1948 shook the company. However, with a child to provide for, Ferris wife, Norma took over the company. Assisted by salesman Norm Downing, plant manager Ed Kramer and driver Ed Doster, Norma was able to guide the company through the difficult transition. The company continued to grow and in 1953, Normas son-in-law, Leon Smith, Jr. joined the company. The 1950s saw sales growth and Ed Doster become the plant manager.
In 1965, Niagara Lubricant purchased the Davis-Egar Oil Company and become a Lubriplate distributor. Long time salesman Norm Downing passed away in 1966. The company hired Don Mallow to lead the sales force and expand the company. Norma, due to failing health retired from Niagara Lubricant in the early 1970s, leaving Leon Smith, Jr. as company president.
The oil crisis of the early 1970s was a boom era for Niagara Lubricant. Niagara Lubricant now was distributor of the Shell, Mobil and Texaco brands of oils. Sales topped the million mark for the first time in this era and continued to grow. Much of the credit goes to people like, Leon Smith, Jr., his son Leon III, Don Mallow, Roger Napier and Bob Napier to name but a few as well as the in house staff.
The 1980s saw a downturn in the fortunes of Buffalos great manufacturing facilities. Long time manufacturing concerns either shuttered their operations and relocated them elsewhere, leaving Buffalo and other cities in the Great Lakes area with a "Rust Belt Economy". This economic downturn had an effect on companies like Niagara Lubricant, but they weathered the economy and 1985 purchased the assets of the E.G.. Fischer Oil Company and its Quaker State distributorship. The company also purchased the former Quaker State grease making facility on Chandler Street in the Black Rock section of Buffalo. This facility at one time housed the Enterprise Oil Company which later joined 18 other companies in forming Quaker State Oil Company in the 1920s. After some plant modifications, the company consolidated all operations at the Chandler Street site.
The 1990s saw Leon Jr., retire after 38 years with company, turning the reins over to his son Leon III. Leon III and Vice President Tom Mcleod worked together to oversee the companys difficult transformation from a distributor based concern to a manufacturing concern. Thus Niagara Lubricant was returning to roots that Leon IIIs grandfather Ferris Wentworth had sought by becoming an independent. Niagara Lubricant made major investments in equipment which enabled the company to expand into the tire care products industry and increase its private label manufacturing and packaging capabilities.
Today, Niagara Lubricant continues to expand its manufacturing operations, and has truly joined the global market. Niagara Lubricant manufactured products are used across the United States and Canada as well as Europe, South America, Africa and the Middle East. Niagara Lubricant takes pride in its catchphrase "Serving Western New York and the World Since 1923" and looks forward to future.

What's worse than a long, cramped train journey? A long, cramped train journey without a smartphone to distract yourself with. But for artist Robin Lee, leaving his phone in his pocket may have been a more sensible option, as charging his device through a London Overground train's power socket unexpectedly led to his arrest.
Speaking to the Evening Standard, 45-year-old Lee revealed how he had been using a socket on a train between Hackney Wick and Camden Road on Friday 10 July, before being confronted by a community support officer.
"She said I'm abstracting electricity," he said.
"She was quite aggressive about it and kept saying it's a crime. We were just coming into the station, and there happened to be about four police officers on the platform.
"She called to them and said 'This guy's been abstracting electricity, he needs to be arrested.'"
Lee tried to shrug off the "ridiculous" offence, but was cuffed, bundled into a waiting police van and taken to the British Transport Police (BTP) HQ on Islington's Caledonian Road. He was then released.
According to the BTP, Lee's "aggressive" behaviour may have been as instrumental in his arrest as his cheeky charging.
"We were called to Camden Road London Overground station on Friday, July 10, to a report of a man becoming aggressive when challenged by a PCSO about his use of a plug socket onboard an Overground train," said a BTP spokesman.
"Shortly after 3.30pm, a 45-year-old man from Islington was arrested on suspicion of abstracting electricity, for which he was de-arrested shortly after.
"He was further arrested for unacceptable behaviour and has been reported for this offence."
With it being perfectly fine on some nationwide rail services to use a plug socket, perhaps more should be done to inform commuters that the same liberal charging policies aren't accepted on the London Overground, which feels somewhere like a halfway-home between the underground and a traditional overground service. While Lee's allegedly aggressive response didn't do him any favours, I'm sure many Giz readers would have been tempted to quite innocently nab a little train juice too.

For those that work with Netscalers know that having the right license is crucial to successful implementation. The license is what allows us to use certain features of Netscaler. Licensing with Netscaler works on a modular approach, you pay for the features you need rather than paying for the whole product. This allows for customers to save a lot of money by buying only the features the need.
When provisioning the license file for Netscaler, I tend tie my license to the MAC address of the server, this applies to both Physical and Virtual appliances.
This weekend, I was in the process of migrating both my Netscaler appliances from Virtual Switches on vSphere 6 to Distributed Virtual Switches. The migration in itself is quite simple, you just run the virtual machine migration wizard and migrate the virtual appliance (Netscaler). However, after the migration, I realized that my Storefront SSL Virtual Server was down under Traffic Management – > Load Balancing. Right away, I figured that perhaps my MAC address changed after the migration to vSphere Distributed Switches and thus my license was no longer good, but then I realized, that I used the HOST ID to apply the license (these Netscalers are running in my lab), so it could not have been that.
The fix was simple, just re-enable the SSL feature and voila! Virtual Server was back online. I am not sure if this is a bug as both my Netscalers were affected (they're not HA paired).

What's the use of used foundation equipment for your construction project?
Picture the moment you went to buy your first car. Did you go straight to the brand dealer for a shiny new automobile with the red ribbon still on it? Or did you, perhaps, take one of your parents along to pick out a second-hand car? If you chose the latter option, you would probably want to make sure the used car is decent and trustworthy; good to go for an X amount of years. In the world of foundation equipment, this works exactly the same.

Officials: School shootings in Washington attract profiteers
SPOKANE, Wash. — The superintendent of a Washington school district said she started receiving emails from people trying to sell "door locks, metal detectors and emergency supplies" within 10 minutes after a school shooting.
Marysville School District Superintendent Becky Berg said the emails she received following a deadly 2014 shooting at Marysville-Pilchuck High School "couldn't have been more offensive."
"People prey upon your vulnerability in order to profit for themselves," Berg said. "In the moment, you're so vulnerable, it's pretty hard to imagine."
Freeman School District Superintendent Randy Russell said the district was swamped with calls and emails "to support Freeman" following a shooting at Freeman High School two and a half weeks ago.
School shooting experts say profiteering from school shootings is not an isolated event. In fact, an industry of sorts has developed around mass shootings, The Spokesman-Review reported.
"There is a lot of ambulance chasing," said Ronald Stephens, the executive director of the National School Safety Center. "Not only to sell products but to also address litigation issues after the fact."
"I get calls weekly from companies that want to sell and market products, and we do not endorse any of them," he added.
Those products range from bulletproof whiteboards that can be used as shields to experts in trauma, school-shooting analysts and others.
Unlike in the Marysville case, Russell said the offers have been supportive and well-intentioned.
"It's been overwhelmingly positive," Russell said. "With nothing being asked in return and just goodwill."
The day of the shooting, Berg flew to Spokane to offer support and advice.
Additionally, United Way and the Empire Health Foundation are coordinating donations and services. United Way is overseeing all monetary donations for the district, Russell said. As of Friday, United Way had received about $50,000 in donations. United Way will not keep any of that money, a spokeswoman said.

"Contrary to the claims of alarmists who see the Hamas election victory as a threat to peace, new opportunities for making peace could now emerge. The peacemaking episodes of the past were based on assumptions absolutely unacceptable to the majority of Palestinians and those who support the justice of their cause. From Oslo to the road map it was always assumed that Israel was the victim that needed to live in peace and security and that the key to this was the end of Palestinian terrorism. The new peace process that Hamas may indeed be willing to be part of should be based on the fact that the Palestinians are the victims and have been victims since Israel was created on their soil. It is not Palestinian terrorism that is the problem, but Israeli aggression.
"Well, let the Palestinians dream of the end of Israel and let the Israelis dream of Eretz Yisrael from the Nile to the Euphrates, but let's negotiate an end to the violence. Hamas alone is capable of that because Hamas will not give up the right of Palestinians to go back to the villages and towns from which the terrorists who stole their land drove them."
It is inconceivable that an Australian newspaper would publish such an article. Indeed, Arab and Palestinian voices have been virtually silent in the local press, as if their views, hopes and fears – including about women in Gaza – should always come secondary to Israelis and Americans.

|The ultimate in seduction... They're cute, charming and they smell good!
If you think that gingerbread is simply a sweet Christmastime treat, don't be fooled! There is so much more to this classic cookie than meets the eye. A fascinating history lies beneath the sugar coating. Gingerbread has a storied past, and its sultry tales will surprise you!
|Image from Truthtellers.org
The story of gingerbread cookies dates back to the 11th century. After the First Crusades succeeded in conquering Jerusalem, armies of crusaders returned home with riches. They also brought back spices from the East including ginger—a root that looks like an arthritic hand with extra fingers. Ginger became a best-selling spice in the 13th century because it covered up the flavor of poor-quality meats (a big problem before refrigeration).
|Ginger Root
During the Middle Ages, ginger was used to make "gingerbread," a honey-spiced cake or cookie sold at festivals throughout the year. The fairground delicacy was shaped into flowers, birds and animals, and sometimes decorated with white icing or real gold leaf. Medieval ladies gave men gingerbread as romantic tokens or they would offer knights gingerbread cookies for good luck before a tournament battle.
|The original romantic cookie! Before there was chocolate, there was gingerbread.
By the time of the Renaissance, gingerbread was popular enough for Shakespeare to mention it in one of his plays: "An I had but one penny in the world, thou shouldst have it to buy ginger-bread…"
|Queen Elizabeth I invented gingerbread men! {Photo credit: W Magazine Photo Shoot for "Dame of Thrones"}
In this golden era, Queen Elizabeth presented her important guests with gingerbread cookies crafted in their own likeness (over five centuries before the selfie!) The Virgin Queen started another, more enduring trend—gingerbread men. Cookies in the form of little knights were sold at fairs, and women superstitiously ate the gingerbread men to improve their chances of finding a husband!
|Medieval superstition: Nibbling on gingerbread men can help a woman find a husband.
Inspired by this centuries-old custom to secure a soulmate via cookie consumption, I decided to bake my own gingerbread man. I tried to represent an actual suitor whom I might encounter in real life. Here's my attempt to represent a hipster boy through the medium of gingerbread. The red frosting is supposed to be eyeglasses, although they appear more like goggles. The purple frosting represents spiky hair and a handlebar mustache.
|Attempt at creating a hipster gingerbread boy! This needs work! :)
Baking Secret: Most recipes for gingerbread call for molasses. To achieve a truly deep, dark flavor and color, use "blackstrap molasses"(it even sounds racy!) Blackstrap molasses is more intense than regular molasses and is packed with nutrients like iron, magnesium and potassium. When you use this molasses, your cookies will have a rich chocolate-y color.
|Gingerbread Couple. The perfect match: a cowboy and a lady!
Other secrets about gingerbread men are limited only by your imagination. The opportunities for creativity are endless. From gingerbread hipsters and dangerously rugged cowboys to cookies shaped like kama sutra positions—anything is possible. Succumb to your gingerbread fantasies!
2 cups all-purpose flour (plus extra for rolling out dough)
2 teaspoons of ground ginger
1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon of ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon of baking soda
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/3 cup unsulfured molasses
1 large egg
In a medium bowl, mix together flour, spices, baking soda, and salt; set aside. Using an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in molasses and egg. With mixer on low, add the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. Place the dough on floured parchment paper and shape into an 8-inch square. Wrap well and chill about 1 to 2 hours, until firm.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the dough on floured surface or parchment paper. Roll it out to 1/8 inch thick. Freeze the dough (on paper) until firm, for about 20 minutes.
Dip cookie cutters into flour and cut out shapes. Remove shapes and place them on a baking pan. Bake for about 10 to 18 minutes until the dough darkens. Allow to cool completely. Then add frosting and decorations such as sprinkles.
Recipe for Frosting from Tablespoon.com
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 1/4 teaspoons of milk
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Mix all of the ingredients together until smooth. Use a pastry bag with a small decorating tip to apply the frosting to cookies. If desired, add food coloring to create different shades.
Share your cookies to friends and family! Kids love them, too! :)

LONDON (Reuters) - The finance chief of Britain's main opposition Labour Party said they are still open to calling a vote of no confidence in Prime Minister Boris Johnson's government and would welcome the chance of a general election.
Johnson's government on Thursday challenged opponents of Brexit in parliament to collapse the government or change the law if they wanted to thwart Britain's exit from the European Union.
"Let me make it absolutely clear, and this is a personal message to Boris Johnson: 'Bring it on'," John McDonnell said after a speech in London.

What can I do about Anxiety?
Anxiety is a problem for millions of people around the world, especially in Western society. Doctors only seem to have limited resources to deal with it. Their many choices are to right a script for Prozac like medications or sending you to a psychiatrist. This does nothing to get rid of the problem that was causing the anxiety. This problem is still there when you stop taking these drugs. The other problem is that it is difficult to come off these medications. You have to cut down VERY slowly under your doctors guidance.
A natural supplement, L-Theanine, also called Suntheanine, is a natural substance found in green tea. It shows great effects in calming anxiety. It can be used by adults and children with no adverse side effects. It can be used by people with problems in their brain including ADHD and ADD. It can help children settle and learn better.

Radiographic Chemicals
Reducing Dental X-Ray Chemical Use
A Pollution Prevention Perspective
We conducted a survey of dental radiography in the San Francisco area. This survey was part of a cooperative project sponsored by CDA, local dental societies, city agencies, and the US Environmental Protection Agency.
What We Found
Our dental co-researchers who responded to the survey told us:
- average number of x-ray exposures = 70 / dentist / week.
- spoiled exposures = 2 / dentist / week (about 3%), with main causes being patient movement, film orientation, and developing problems.
- developer and fixer use on average = 0.5 oz of each / exposure.
- digital radiography is used by 28% of the surveyed practices.
What We Recommend
These survey responses give us clues on how dental practices can reduce their radiographic chemical use. Three primary strategies are:
- Check your developer & fixer use. If you are significantly above 0.5 oz of each per exposure, then investigate why. Also, check product mixing instructions.
- Decrease your rate of spoiled exposures by resolving problems from film orientation, film processing, and other issues you discover.
- If feasible, change to digital radiography.
The last two of these approaches have the important added benefit of decreasing patient and staff exposure to x-ray emissions.

Feeding Time is Bonding Time for Dads and Partners
You want to help with feeding the baby. But to get it right, you have to make bottles exactly the way Mom does.
How much formula does your baby need? Too warm, too cold, just right? Which bottle?
Basically, you don't want to be left out—but you also don't want to mess it up!
Sound familiar? Not to worry. Moozi takes away the stress and helps you get in the game by making bottles "just like Momma."
Either parent, or any caregiver, can prepare single-serving pods in advance, so you get the formula measurement just right. And by the way, you waste less formula and make less mess when the baby isn't crying for a bottle while you try to measure out formula.
Moozi takes care of temperature, warming the water to about 98 degrees, the same as baby's body temperature. Safety sensors ensure the water doesn't get too warm.
So when baby's hungry, you're ready to go. Just push the button. In less than one minute you'll have the right formula, in the right proportions, at the right temperature.
Our inspiration for Moozi was the simplicity of single-cup coffee makers. Why couldn't formula bottles be as easy? Now they can. This simple process takes away the stress for your baby and for your whole family. It's Moozi peace of mind.

Create Art
Creativity and Art are tangible expressions of the divine spark of our Creator God within us. By allowing our senses, our imaginations, our minds and bodies to fulfil their God-given potentials for creativity, we glorify God. We believe it does our souls good (and pleases God) when we create, through writing and storytelling, poetry, cooking, music, painting and other art forms.
This year we will focus on providing two unique types of creative experiences.
The first will be a number of spaces for non-artists to participate in guided and unguided art-making. Roll your sleeves up and try something new.
The second will provide space for artists to be inspired - this will happen through workshops on songwriting, poetry, theatre, and other ways of engaging with the world through art. We also have a bunch more ways to celebrate the arts in a meaningful way. Here are a selection of the things you can look forward to:
- Pacific Theatre will be performing some live theatre.
- An art gallery will be set up in the back of a semi-trailer to highlight local artists.
- A creative jamboree on the main stage on Saturday afternoon that will be a fusion of music, poetry, dance and other creative craziness. We are excited to have We Make Stuff as a partner supporting our creative initatives this year.

Meet Rasmus Wingardh and Lars Hedberg, the chief designer and the co-founder of Uniforms for the Dedicated!
Ever since established in Sweden by a collective of snowboarders and various creative minds back in 2008, Uniforms for the Dedicated has been devoted to making modern streetwear. While the design blends men's tailoring with influences from sports and function, the collections typically comprise timeless silhouettes, innovative sourcing, and expressive storytelling.
You guys called the inspiration for the collection in August "Miami Vampires fear and loathing in the desert". Where do you get these ideas from, and could you hint a bit about the inspiration for next season?
We tend to look for the direction through a clash of contexts or universes. It can be through storytelling or mere visual, or both, as in the case of Safari Vice for SS18, which depict a decadent yet elegant picture of being.
As in the name of the brand, for AW18 we look to form an army. Finally! Other than that I can't tell much further, as we´re not done yet!
Uniforms for the Dedicated have been showing on the official calendar during CPHFW since August 2016. What's your favorite places to eat, drink and celebrate when in Copenhagen?
I believe we gave all our money to Den Vandrette (Havnegade 53A) this past summer, on multiple nights! Great food and natural wines on the docks.
When you are at Revolver, do you have any favorite exhibitors and friends you always make sure to stop by?
None mentioned none forsaken! But what stands out to me is that people overall seem pretty relaxed, brining a good mood while mixing work with pleasure during their stay.
The Revolver Exhibitor dinner has turned into an event I don't want to miss, a good opportunity to catch up with everyone and meet new people.
Thank you, guys! We're looking so much forward to seeing what you have in store for us at Revolver next season!

War Horse last played at the Liverpool Empire in November 2017 to record number of audiences.
Directed by Marianne Elliott and Tom Morris, Nick Stafford's adaptation of Michael Morpurgo's remarkable story of courage, loyalty and friendship, about a young boy called Albert and his horse Joey, set against the backdrop of the First World War is the most successful play in the National Theatre's history. It features ground-breaking puppetry work by South Africa's Handspring Puppet Company, which brings breathing, galloping horses to life on stage.
Michael Morpurgo said: 'Joey, the War Horse and his great team from the National Theatre, are touring the UK again, taking their show all over the country, to towns and cities. I am so pleased this is happening; that so many more people will have the chance to enjoy this unique theatrical event. Steady boy, steady Joey. Trot on!'
War Horse, which has been seen by over seven million people worldwide, completed its record-breaking eight year London run at the New London Theatre in March 2016. It has won 25 awards including the Tony Award for Best Play on Broadway.
War Horse received its world premiere on 9 October 2007 at the National Theatre, where it played for two seasons before opening at the New London Theatre in March 2009. Since then, the production has been seen in 97 cities in 10 countries, including productions on Broadway, in Toronto and Berlin, with touring productions in the UK and Ireland, North America, the Netherlands, Belgium and China.
War Horse is directed by Marianne Elliott and Tom Morris, designed by Rae Smith, with puppet direction, design and fabrication by Basil Jones and Adrian Kohler for Handspring Puppet Company, lighting by Paule Constable, and movement and horse choreography by Toby Sedgwick, with video design by Leo Warner and Mark Grimmer for 59 Productions, songmaker John Tams, music by Adrian Sutton and sound by Christopher Shutt.
Katie Henry is the revival director and Craig Leo is the associate puppetry director. They are joined by resident puppetry director, Matthew Forbes and resident director, Charlotte Peters.

Apprentices are crucial to create jobs and expand businesses
We've just had the welcome news that unemployment fell again in the last quarter of 2014.
But the silver lining has a cloud. If you are aged 18 to 24, your chance of being out of work remains unchanged at about one in six.
The problem is not unique to the UK. In fact, things are a lot worse in several of our European neighbours.
Getting young people into jobs seems to be a problem for most western economies. At the Chamber, we have concrete evidence to back this up: there are 65 jobs available on our apprenticeship scheme but are short of candidates to apply for them.
In the last twelve months, we've placed apprentices at more than 160 companies in a wide variety of sectors. It's a proven way for young people to find out what type of job they want to do and to get on the career ladder.
At the Chamber, we pay above the apprenticeship minimum wage and encourage our companies to do the same. But still demand still outstrips supply, even though the statistics* show that apprentices are more likely to be in employment for longer and that they get paid 11 per cent more than their peers at intermediate level and 18 per cent more at advanced level.
Business owners are quite outspoken when they're asked what they want in young recruits: punctuality, literacy and numeracy skills, and a willingness to do as they are told are usually top of a fairly predictable list.
What they are often not so good at is articulating what they can offer people who step onto the lowest rung of their organisation.
We can all remember what it was like to be a teenager. But we forget how fast things change. Anyone who is now over 40 started work in a different era – economically, technologically and socially.
The young are more aware of this, and that makes it highly unlikely that they will take much notice of any careers advice we give them.
It's no wonder that it can be difficult for employers and young jobseekers to communicate effectively. Difficult, but not impossible.
The best placements are those where apprentices can see the contribution they make to an organisation. That enhanced perception of their own worth is as valuable as any skill they will learn by doing the job they are entrusted with.

The runaway Broadway hit "Hamilton: An American Musical" begins preview performances in San Francisco on Friday and neighboring businesses are hoping the excitement gives them a boost.
With the buzz surrounding the winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, tickets to the Orpheum Theatre showing have been hard to come by. Opening night is on March 23, and when tickets were made available, people began lining up around the block to get their hands on them.
On Wednesday, officials offered 44 $10 tickets for every performance of the hit via an online lottery.
One Los Angeles man lined up three hours before the box office opened Friday on Market Street.
"I was in the area and figured why not give it a shot?" said Martin Duran.
Duran said he tried his hand at the online lottery, but was unsuccessful. He was thrilled to spend $185 each on two tickets – even though the seats didn't offer an unobstructed view of the stage.
Linda King, of San Francisco, decided Friday to test her luck for tickets to a performance in May.
"I stopped in to see if I could score some tickets, which I did for 90 bucks each," she said. "They're not great at all, but I believe in miracles."
On the resale market, StubHub shows tickets are selling for $500 and up. Some are going for as much as $2,850.
Down the street, SAMS American Eatery on Market Street boasts a "Hamilton"-themed menu.
Owner Jeannie Kim said usually cast and crew members from the Orpheum Theatre stop by. So she recently spruced up the restaurant in anticipation.
"We decided we're going to do a little remodel before Hamilton comes in," she said.
Michael Rodriguez, who owns the Cadillac Bar and Grill on 9th Street, said he has "probably about 50 percent more reservations" than a typical Friday night.
The Mexican restaurant extended hours, and added valet service, extra seating and staff.
"It's special for 'Hamilton' I think because its popularity will bring a whole new crowd to the area and I want to impress them, I want to introduce the place," he said.

Endurance exercises are basically aerobic exercise which aims at prolonging energy output over an extended period of time. They elevate and sustain heart rate over a long time.
Why do I need endurance exercises?
Stressed out? Do you know that enhancing your endurance can help you beat stress? Yes, you can go beyond the limit and get more jobs done before your body gets tired. Indulging in endurance boosting workouts builds up more muscle tissues, burns stored fat for fuel, and improve cardiovascular health. It helps you stay fit, lean, and healthy!
Endurance exercises are also used for rehabilitation and training. As a rehabilitative tool for previously active people who were involved in injuries.
Types of endurance boosting exercises
Jogging is an enjoyable and efficient means of exercise. It build leans muscle mass, is efficient at improving cardiovascular health and is one of the best ways for your body to burn calories. Men burn an average of 124 calories per mile of running, and women burn an average of 105 calories per mile. Continuously increasing your stamina is essential for both the novice and veteran runner in order to keep your runs fresh and challenging. http://www.livestrong.com/article/169520-how-to-increase-jogging-stamina/
Spending countless hours in the saddle is no longer enough for pro cyclists to win stages or, better yet, get invited to represent their team at prestigious events, like the Giro d'Italia and Tour de France. Fact is, what these elite athletes do indoors is just as important as what they do outdoors. And the same holds true for you. http://www.mensfitness.com/training/endurance/5-exercises-to-build-a-better-body-for-biking
Along with swimming smooth, swimming with sustainability, or swimming endurance, is the most important skill for a triathlete to have. It does a triathlete no good to get out in front of the pack, swim strong to the first buoy, then completely come apart and struggle the rest of the way. The ability to sustain a high intensity is paramount, behind only smooth in importance. Having a pretty stroke for half the race and then watching your arms come off and float to the bottom of the ocean isn't terribly useful. http://www.active.com/triathlon/articles/6-sets-to-build-swimming-endurance
Long Distance Walking Opens a Wide World of Endless Possibilities and Better Health. Once you're bitten by the walking bug, you'll want to expand your range and enter the wide, wide world of long distance walking. The benefits, both physical and spiritual, are limited only by your imagination and willingness for fitness adventure. http://www.uberwalker.com/long-distance-walking/
If you've never skipped rope before then you should start now. It's a great way to increase endurance to your breathing, legs and improves your balance and co-ordination. Here's an example of an effective rope skipping exercise:http://www.mightyfighter.com/top-5-ways-to-improve-your-aerobic-endurance/
It is advisable to consult your physician before commencing any endurance exercise routine, especially if you are elderly and have been sedentary for a long time. Also, if you have any chronic health condition like arthritis, hypertension and diabetes, your doctor can design an approved exercise program that is mild and safe for you. Finally, to achieve the best result from endurance exercises, follow a routine exercise program and monitor your progress.

Loyalty schemes are a sure-fire way to bring customers back to you time and time again but it seems that airlines, hotels and other travel retailers may well be doling customers out a raw deal. At least that's the opinion of one academic who specialises in e-tourism at the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and the Arts, residing in their Institute of Tourism.
Speaking to the World Tourism Forum in Lucerne, Dr Andreas Liebrich said, rather defiantly, "People don't like loyalty programmes.
"Maybe there are too many loyalty programmes, maybe they are too complicated for customers."
While this may sound absolutely absurd, especially with the rate that consumers are digesting loyalty schemes in other areas of retail and customer service, Dr Liebrich's words are backed by results from a study amongst online travel bookers in the UK, Germany and the US.
The survey found that only 19 per cent in the UK "like points programmes by travel providers," and Germany had a similar result. The US was a higher rate, but it only sat at 45 per cent, still showing that the majority of customers just don't bother with the system or actively dislike having it in place.
The problem, however, doesn't seem to be the idea of loyalty as the majority in each market agreed that they made repeat bookings and that "one brand is preferable to another." With 63 per cent feeling this way in the UK.
Interestingly though, only 17 per cent of customers in the UK and 5 per cent in Germany actually reported a favourable attitude towards a brand.
So what factors come into account to bring back repeat business?
Well, a well laid out website scores highest amongst those surveyed – especially in the UK. Then a "good reputation and service" offering is next, alongside "positive personal experience", "low prices" and "a trustworthy brand."
Facebook, which is enveloped in "another person's experience" ranks sixth – leading Liebrich to draw parallels to many others in saying that we could well be facing a Facebook fatigue.
In the same World Tourism Forum discussion, Aviva Pearson – director of new business development at Simpleview – said that "the whole point of loyalty programmes is to create individual loyalty," however this no longer seems to be the case as Pearson points out that "there are 1.8 billion loyalty programmes in the US alone.
"Between one third and one half of people in a survey felt what they received through a loyalty programme didn't match their expectations."
Essentially, this means that you can't just cobble together a points system and then throw offers in a customer's face. They need something tailored to them, with the flexibility they need to make the most of it all. As Pearson summarises: "You fly 100,000 miles with an airline but you can only redeem your points one Saturday in May. A loyalty reward has to be worthwhile."
Do you think this loyalty problem is only affecting the airline and travel companies, or is it spreading out into the wider reaches of customer loyalty?
Do you even think that this is a problem that needs to be addressed? Especially if many are still happy to use the company sites regardless of the loyalty scheme in place.
Let us know by leaving a comment with your thoughts below.
At this year's Europe's Customer Festival, Loyalty World will be taking an active look at the world of customer loyalty and how to further improve and expand your loyalty offering into something customers want to make the most of.

$La_{1-x}Na_xMn_{1-y}Na_yO_3$ (0.12 < x < 0.16;0.04 < y < 0.07) have been synthesized from NaBr and NaI fluxes at relatively low temperature of 850 and $750^o\hspace{2mm}C$, respectively. Final composition of these oxides was obtained from chemical analysis of the elements present. The flux grown oxides crystallize in the rhombohedral structure (space group R-3c, No. 167) and are ferromagnetic metals (FMM). Chemical analysis and Rietveld refinement of X-ray data indicate Na ion is substituted for both La- and Mn-sites in the compound prepared from NaBr and NaI fluxes with 33 and 49% of $Mn^{4+}$ concentration, respectively.

"God's Children"
I don't understand how something like this goes unnoticed in my lonely world of music and women but it did and goddammit I'm ashamed of myself. On top of that I've been playing Robyns Body Talk Pt. 1 record at full volume while curled up fetal on my bed so I fear something is seriously afoot with the kid. Reading this back I realize it's time I seek therapy. But this isn't about me or my private kinkiness it's about the new Woods single 'God's Children" that I blundered upon while surfing the web (does anybody use that term anymore?) It's a pretty left field choice to cover an old Kinks song but Jeremy and the boys do justice by jamming about this God who evidently made us along with trees, mountains, wars and disease. It's funny hearing Jeremy sing "We gotta go back to the way the good lord made us all." After 3 listens I feel the spirit glowing within me. They say God is the last drug you'll ever do and goddammit I think they're on to something.
The single will be released on the public July 9th.

Rs 428-cr link road in Mumbai ready, but netas stall opening
After 10 long years, the Santacruz-Chembur Link Road is finally ready, but sources within the MMRDA say that the state government wants to postponne the inauguration
You've waited for it for 10 long years, and in an answer to your prayers for easier, faster commutes, the Santacruz Chembur Link Road (SCLR) is finally ready.
Also Read: Poll Vault: Metro, Santacruz-Chembur road may open in April
But the Congress-NCP state government would have you endure the wait for a few more weeks, in hope that a well-timed inauguration will impress voters enough to give the alliance an advantage on Election Day.
The SCLR project has already earned the embarrassing tag of being the 'world's most delayed road project'. Pics/Pradeep Dhivar
The project, which has already earned the embarrassing tag of being the 'world's most delayed road project' is a 100 per cent complete. And yet, sources from MMRDA have confirmed that the stretch will be thrown open to motorists on the second or third week of the month, just a few days ahead of polling in the state.
A senior MMRDA official said, requesting anonymity, "The civil work of SCLR is 100 per cent complete, and only the final touches remain, such as painting the dividers and the lines on the sides of the road.
We can complete this in just a couple of days. But we have been asked not to hurry, and only make sure the work is completed within the next week, so that the SCLR can be thrown open to the public in the second or third week of April."
The MMRDA has projected the SCLR as one of its most important projects after the Jogeshwari Vikhroli Link Road (JVLR), as it is expected to ease commuting woes between the eastern and western suburbs.
Another source in MMRDA said, "The Congress-NCP government now wants MMRDA, which is headed by the Congress, to throw open several infrastructural projects in Mumbai just before the elections."
He added, "Many representatives of political parties from the areas around SCLR have been calling us up, and asking us when are we opening the SCLR. Some even tell us that it should be opened just a week before Election Day, so that voters know what kind of developmental work the government has done."
The project has already missed 12 deadlines since its inception in 2003. In 2010, when the World Bank was funding the project, Roberto Zagha, the India head of the financial institution, referred to SCLR as the 'world's most delayed road project.'
mid-day had reported on the escalating project cost brought on by the massive delays, with the expenses rising from the initially estimated R114.8 crore to a staggering R428 crore – a R313 crore jump. As per the initial plan, the groundwork for the link road was to start in September 2003, but began only in 2007.
About the SCLR
SCLR is the city's second east-west arterial connector and will join Western Express Highway (WEH) to the Eastern Express Highway (EEH). It is expected to ease traffic snarls at Amar Mahal Junction, Vakola, Kalanagar Junction, Sion and Kurla, and also significantly de-congest the EEH and WEH.
It will cut down travel time between Santacruz and Chembur to a mere 15 minutes. Today, Mumbaikars require anywhere between 60 and 90 minutes to cross this stretch during peak hours.
MMRDA speaks
Metropolitan Commissioner UPS Madan said, "Work on SCLR is almost complete, and workers are now in the process of giving finishing touches. We will open SCLR by the second week of April." He added that the project will be thrown open without the fanfare surrounding an official inauguration, as the code of conduct is in effect.
