Senate Confirmation Hearing for Brown Held

Jeff BrownJeffrey Brown, associate professor of finance and Julian Simon Fellow, testified before the Senate Committee on Finance on December 14 as a nominee for the Social Security Advisory Board. The SSAB is a bipartisan board whose members are nominated by the President.

In his remarks, Brown pledged to support the bipartisan nature of the board, which provides advice to the President, Congress, and Social Security Commissioner.

"Social Securiy has become a part of the social fabric of this nation," said Brown in his remarks. "Unfortunately, the Social Security system faces severe financial challenges in the coming decade."

Brown is an authority on pensions, annunitizations, and Social Security. He was a senior economist with the White House Council of Economic Advisers during 2001-2002 and served on the President's COmmission to Strengthen Social Security in 2001.

The U.S. Air Force is trying to turn the targeting pods carried by some of its legacy fighters and the B-1 Lancer bomber, into flying wireless routers that would allow ground troops to communicate each other.

Tested by the 40th Flight Test Squadron at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida, on an A-10 Warthog, the flying router is a software upgrade called Net-T (network tactical) for the Litening II and Sniper advanced targeting pods.

It allows ground units on patrol to interconnect each other by way of Remote Operations Video Enhanced Receiver (ROVER) 5, a portable terminal similar to a tablet or a mini-iPAD that JTACs (Joint Terminal Attack Controllers) use to receive realtime footage from the aircraft targeting pods.

ROVER systems are used by JTACs to determine whether the pilot on a nearby combat plane is cueing the weapons to the correct ground target.

Litening ROVERUSAFThe Net-T portion of the targeting pod is quite easy to operate (click to expand)

Until now, ROVERs could only upload and download data from a nearby aircraft. With the new capability, that has begun developmental testing in October 2012 and flown 23 sorties so far, data streams from different terminals will be routed by the pod.

In other words, different units on the ground, in “line of sight” to the fighter plane, will be able to exchange imagery, maps and any file type without relying on satellite or radio communication.

Obviously, such wireless network will need to be protected with proper security measures, in order to prevent enemy from eavesdropping traffic or sending malware to the various peers.

According to Maj. Olivia Elliot, the 40th FLTS A-10 flight commander who undertook the test flight for the Warthog, the Net-T portion of the targeting pod is quite easy to operate, and once the proper settings are configured “it’s a single button push” and the pilot’s only concern is to remain within range of the system.

text: Best Buy Steps Up Its Game And Will Match Amazon's Prices en-us Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 -0500 Tue, 01 Sep 2015 12:25:14 -0400 Kim Bhasin Biff Mon, 15 Oct 2012 09:48:21 -0400 I used to work for a chain of 5 stores in San Diego (DOW Stereo and Video). Their philosophy was no one walks out without buying something. We had the ability to negotiate prices on the floor with customers. We had a book that listed all of the products with a high and low price. Everything was priced with the high price and we could sell anywhere in between the high and the low prices. If we couldn't make the sale, the manager could step in and sell below the low price. They used to have black Friday type of sales through out the year and folks would always line up for the blow out prices. The owners retired and sold the stores. The business model changed and the stores went out of business. It was a great job for me as a student. Hours were flexible and the money was good. I loved those extended warranties - high profit for the store and higher commissions for me. dongateley Fri, 12 Oct 2012 22:19:25 -0400 I was just in there today to check out headphones and ebook readers. First, you can't plug your own player into the demo stands to which they are hard tethered so as to listen to your own content on the few headphones they bother to demo at all. Just some boring stuff prepared by them for a demo loop. Who knows what they've done to it to make that "demo well." It is truly trivial to fix that by allowing you to jack into the demo stand. Second the demo headphones are on such short leashes that they would only reach the height of the average 10 year old. After stooping over for about a minute I abandoned that and walked over to the ebook readers. Third, you can't see any actual content on the ebook readers that they carry or check out the controls. Hard coded demo loops is all. I concluded that they really don't want to sell things and left. Total time in the store; about 5 minutes. They've got some work to do. It's about way more than prices. Ric Fri, 12 Oct 2012 13:50:06 -0400 Can you say 'do or die,' back's against the wall? I am sure that they can! Ironically they have already lost the war but they still keep fighting useless battles. Jon Fri, 12 Oct 2012 13:20:15 -0400 It's not inevitable. You can't seriously expect a company to die without trying everything in their power to survive. This is a strategy to try. Will it work? I doubt it, but there is a small chance it could. And there are plenty of dumb people out there. DrSmuggles Fri, 12 Oct 2012 12:29:25 -0400 Death is inevitable and hoping people are dumb enough to still fall for the extended warranty or overpay for HDMI cables is a pretty sucktastic strategy. Dennis954 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 12:09:49 -0400 That sounds like a pre-2000 dotcom business plan. We all know how that worked out! Jon Fri, 12 Oct 2012 11:48:30 -0400 if you can get someone in the buying mode then they might make other purchases. They will have to trim costs to make money, work on their supply chain, etc. The alternative is doing nothing and dying like so many others. DrSmuggles Fri, 12 Oct 2012 11:24:31 -0400 Even if we lose money on every sale damnit we are not losing that sale! We'll make it up on volume.

obama change backRegardless of your own political beliefs and desires, come November 6 you must be prepared financially no matter how the chips fall. I’m not saying that President Obama will be re-elected. But there is at least a 50 percent chance that this will happen. How might that impact financial markets? Does it make sense to adjust your investments now? Let’s take a look.

Stock Market

Granted, nobody knows what the stock market is going to do over any given time frame, but we can get a few hints if we look close enough. The stock market has been fairly strong over the last several months. That bodes well for Obama not having to find a new place to crash in January.

The market craves certainty. Whether you like it or not, the market has demonstrated some comfort level with our president. That’s why the market has shown some strength, and it would be reasonable to expect that performance to continue for some period of time should Obama get re-elected.

Of course, there are always other little problems, like potential wars in the Middle East, oil embargos, a recession in Europe, and a world-wide debt crisis to name a few. These events could dwarf the election decision and turn the market right on its head.

Regardless of who gets elected in November, bonds are a high-risk investment for most people right now. I say that for two reasons. First, interest rates are low—in fact, they are almost non-existent. That means rates have nowhere to go but up. And when interest rates rise, the value of bonds fall—and they fall fast.

The second reason I think bonds are a bad deal now is because our government has taken on monumental debt. President Obama probably doesn’t like this debt any more than you do. But he feels that it has been necessary to take on this debt in order to avert a total collapse of our system.

It’s likely that President Obama will take on more debt if the economy continues to stay stuck. If he does so, it will heat up inflationary forces, which will result in higher interest rates sooner or later. Either way, this is not good if you own bonds now. If you do, consider swapping out longer term bonds for shorter term securities.

Real Estate

Real estate looks pretty good under a second term for Obama. That’s because there are a variety of ways you could make money with property. If the market continues to languish, more and more people will be forced to become renters. That’s great for you if you own rental property. And if there is a recovery in housing, you should see some solid price increases for your real estate. It’s a win win.

Bottom Line

If Obama is re-elected, it will have some impact on your investments, but it probably won’t be the deciding factor. The president has a lot less impact on your investments than other forces. Besides external events (over which you have no control), there are also the House and Senate elections to consider. Will a Democratic Congress be elected or will a Republican majority be put in office? How will the Executive and Legislature branches work together? The combination of events has a far greater impact on your money than any one isolated—albeit important—happening.

You can’t possibly know what the outcomes of these disparate events will be and you don’t have to. Rather than try to invest your money based on what you think may happen two months or two years down the road, chisel out a long-term investment strategy and stick with it.

Do I think the re-election of President Obama will impact investments? Over the short run, yes. But your investment strategy should be structured for long-term results and as in turn, my best advice is to ignore the election when it comes to making investment decisions.

What do you think? How will the markets respond if President Obama is re-elected? Are you making any changes now? Why or why not?

The Coliseum May Be Reopened

Posted by Pahrak #0579 , Jan 27 2013 · 177 views

Anyone remember Technic Coliseum?  It's a game I was running until the Forums crashed, and I've been thinking about restarting it.
If you don't feel like clicking the link, here's the basics: you pick a character from Bionicle, Slizer, RoboRiders, or Hero Factory, and sponsor them in a fighting league.  Sponsors can strengthen their fighters and arrange matches whenever they want, and occasionally there'll be a massive tournament open to all fighters.
There will be changes, of course; for starters, I want to limit the roster to just 32 characters: the Toa Mata, the nine Hero Factory heroes released in set form, the seven RoboRiders, and the original eight Slizers plus Millennia and Spark.  Should stop it from getting out of control, I think.
Also, all 32 fighters will be entered in a tournament even if they don't have sponsors (unsponsored fighters will just fight amongst themselves).  The first time around there were some instances where we'd have an uneven number of fighters in a tournament and somebody wouldn't get an opponent, giving them an easy win.  Of course, if we still have an uneven number of sponsored fighters, this could still be a probelm...
In addition, the time for each round is being cut from a week to 24 hours.  Some tournaments would just drag on, and on, and on...
I reduced the price of the upgrade that gives Toa-level powers to non-Toa, and I'm thinking of adding in items from later years of each theme as a substitute for adding new fighters.  The Toa and Heroes will be upgradable, but at the start the only upgrades will be Toa Nuva and Hero 2.0, which I'm wondering if I should reduce the benefits of.
But maybe I'm getting ahead of myself.  Would anyone be interested in a new Technic Coliseum, or should I just leave it in the Archives and let it be?

Performance Based Regulation

Transforming the CAA to a performance based regulator

The CAA has commenced a business transformation programme to become a performance based regulator
Performance based regulation means developing a comprehensive risk picture with the organisations we regulate and building our knowledge and data to make sure we target our regulation in the areas where it will make the biggest difference.

The transformation programme and what it means in practise was introduced to our industry stakeholders at a major conference at the London Gatwick Hilton on 19 May 2014.  Over 130 senior industry leaders and accountable managers from across the industry were in attendance.  The conference gave the delegates the opportunity to debate the concept and practicalities including the likely benefits and the challenges to both the CAA and themselves.

A conference report has been produced which includes information about the proceedings and feedback from the industry delegates.

The Performance Based Regulation Industry Group (PBRIG)

Having received and considered the industry comments resulting from the conference, and having consulted the CAA/Industry Safety Improvement Advisory Group (SIAG), a PBR Industry Group has been set up,  initially Chaired by CAA, with representatives from across all sectors of the industry. The aim of the group is to work collaboratively in addressing the issues arising from the conference, with particular emphasis on those related to data sharing, competence in the industry and the regulator for delivering PBR, and benefits identification/realisation. The group will also address any emerging issues and opportunities that will be encountered along our journey.

There was substantial interest from across industry and membership was established with the aim of achieving a good balance of representation across the various sectors of the aviation community.

PBRIG Meetings

Meeting 1 held on 26 February 2015 - Report and Presentation Slides

Meeting 2 held on 19 May 2016 Report and Presentation Slides

PBRIG 3 Agenda, 8 September 2015 at London Heathrow Airport

Further information about the activities and outcomes from the PBRIG will be also be published on this web site.

What can I do if my teen is being bullied?

Real Mom Problem

“My son is constantly telling me how much he hates school because of the bullies. He keeps texting me daily about how bad it is.”

by Living4One Living4One

Quick Tips

  • 1. Talk to your kids about bullies and how to stand up for themselves without getting physical
  • 2. Encourage your teen to get involved in positive activities and try to help build their self-esteem
  • 3. Always treat others kindly and be an example for your kids
  • 4. Remind your kids that bullying, whether you're the bully or the victim, is unacceptable and should always be reported to an adult

Real Mom Solutions

Read on to get the best mom-to-mom advice on what to do if your teen is being bullied.

Talk to the School, Parents, or Police

  • dana63

    My son was bullied because of his race, and when I put a stop to it I threatened the school and made my point known. I will not tolerate this type of behavior and even had a lawyer ready if it ever happened again.

  • fantasticfour

    I would contact the school about the situation if the event happened at school. I would press charges and get a protective order. At 14 they teach that hitting someone is no longer considered "fighting" but "assault" and will be handled that way. I would take no chances in protecting my daughter.

  • mumsy2three

    When my daughter was bullied by a girl online, whom she knew in real life, I went to her school to ask what they would suggest since the girl was from another school district. They told me to call the state police. They informed me that the police would probably not do much or anything because the bullying was via the internet, but at least they would have info on file if by chance the girl started anything in person. I also printed out and kept all of the online posts that the girl made to my daughter. I think the girl got scared when she found out I called the cops because she deleted her account at the site and didn't contact my daughter again via the internet.

  • Wyndi

    I went and had a talk with my daughter's bully's guardian. The grandmother was livid and let her granddaughter have it. Her grandma told her if she did it again she'd be dragging her to the court system herself. From that moment on the other girl left my daughter alone.

  • Snowl

    From what I have seen as a teacher, bullies like to get a reaction. Does your teen cry or get upset? Having him take a deep breath might help him calm down. Standing up to the bully may help or it may just get him in trouble at school. Our school has a zero-tolerance policy but they didn't really do anything until we threatened to pursue legal action. If the bullying is constant and threats are made you may be able to get a restraining order.

Provide Them with Coping Skills

  • hopealways4019

    I teach my kids to be comfortable with themselves, which will give them enough confidence to shake hateful comments. We can't change the way others think, we can only change our own thinking.

  • 2KoolMama

    My daughter was bullied by the other girls in middle school. What helped her was for me to sit down with her and go over all the various situations that would occur. Then I would tell her some quick comebacks to shut the bullies up. They are looking for the kid to get upset over it. When they don't and just throw back a quick comment it makes the bully feel stupid and they move on to an easier target. Not the ideal outcome but let's face it, bullies have always been there and always will be, in school and in life, too. The best thing you can do for your child is to teach them how to respond to it.

  • turtle68

    Don't make your kids victims. Instilling self-esteem is half the battle. Being okay with not having what the Jones' have also helps. Educate your kids about kids with disabilities and disorders, and teach them how to deal with them. Be a diligent parent and in their lives. A simple "how was school today?" is a great start. Asking if there are any bad kids at school or in the class usually gets a response. Take the initiative and involve the school system from the earliest sign. You can do all of the above and still not guarantee that your child won't be bullied, but it can help drastically with the bullying continuing.

  • meriana

    I have found that putting kids in a martial arts class, or anything really that they truly enjoy, can do a lot. Kids that have an activity that they are really good at, tend to have a lot more self-esteem. With strong self-esteem they tend to carry themselves in a far more positive manner. Bullies generally will not pick on a kid that carries him/herself as though they own the place.

  • chloesmommy777

    Focus on things that will boost your son's self-esteem, like his talents. He needs to realize that a sense of humor is essential in this world and work on toughening up a "thin skin." That's how I dealt with my daughter when she found herself in a bullying situation.

  • JadsW

    I approve of teaching a child to defend himself. We plan to enroll both of our sons in martial arts.

  • OHgirlinCA

    A few years ago my son had an issue with bullies. They even pushed him off the bus at a stop that wasn't his and the driver did absolutely nothing. I told my son over and over again these bullies act that way because they are insecure and jealous of him. I told him to ignore them and to not let them see that they were getting to him. I told him he has a heart of gold and is an amazing and smart person. Once these bullies stopped getting the reaction from him they were hoping for, they left him alone.

Consider Counseling

  • SamMarcSaiah

    We just have to keep reminding our teens that popularity and high school get-togethers don't last. It only lasts for a few years while decisions made during that time will last forever. They will still be sad to not be "like everyone else," but it'll soon pass. And if the bullying seems to get worse, maybe you should have your son see a counselor.

  • Jessiejack

    I would get your teen into counseling. My daughter loves to go and the lady she goes to is wonderful. She still will not go alone, but it has helped her and me a lot to deal with the bullying. Also, our school has a school police officer who has helped my daughter know she can fight back and how to do it the right way without getting into trouble. It also makes her feel safer to know she can go to him if there is a problem.

  • JustShawna

    If your son says he is depressed, get him help. My 16 year old just told me he's depressed. He has an appointment next week to see a psychiatrist/psychologist.

Remove Them from the Situation

  • shelleyragsdale

    My daughter transferred schools and everything was much better. The problem did not follow her; it was the few bad kids at the other school. I know there are certain rules on how and why they can be transferred but one reason that will work is telling the school that a psychiatrist recommends this for your teen's well being. That is what we did after they turned us down the first time. My daughter's psychiatrist said she would vouch for this but it was not necessary, they transferred her immediately when I mentioned the psychiatrist issue.

  • momaof8

    If my kid were being bullied, I would get them out of that scenario quick. It is nothing but destructive and will haunt them for life. If that means switching schools, private school, cyber school, whatever. Don't let your kid be a statistic; fight for them. I never wanted my kids in the mess that public schools were. People say aren't you worried about socialization? I say, yes, that's why I home school.

  • PinkieRed

    My 14-year-old daughter was bullied at her previous elementary school for being biracial, and having a learning disability. She is very sensitive too. I took her out of her previous school after 5th grade and it's made a world of difference for her. I only regret not taking her out sooner. Maybe look into getting your son involved in some activities outside of the neighborhood, where he can meet other boys who aren't part of a nasty clique.

How old is TOO old for a spanking?

If I recall correctly, my mother stopped beating me when I became a teenager, at 13. Right now my 15yr old is getting a little mouthy. Nothing out of hand, but I don't want it to get out of hand either. I've talked to her about it, but I think the influence of her "friends" and how they address their mom's is kind of rubbing off on her. The last few times I've been really tempted to haul off and smack her, I didn't. Just sent her to her room. There's a thin line btw discipline and abuse these days. She's my first, and oldest of four. Any expert mom's out there who can tell me how old TOO old his to physically discipline your child?

  • I have four kids ages 17,14,12, and 8. I can't say that any of them has been spanked in a while but I wouldn't put up with them being disrespectful to me. I remember the last time I got spanked and I was almost 17. My mom didn't play games. I think it's a phase, they're trying to see how much we'lll take or what they can get away with. The rules are there to help and protect them whether they realize it or not. Stand your ground.

  • I am not an expert...but if my child said something too ugly to me I wouldnt hesitate to give a pop in the mouth up to and possibly past age

    Just depends on the situation. I am the mother and they must respect me with the words that come out of their mouth.

    Answer by Anonymous at 5:07 PM on Apr. 21, 2010

  • I agree with Sabrina, it reallly depends on the child. My daugher said something ugly to my husband and he told her that she 'should' be spanked. She's 16. She hasn't been spanked in years and wasn't on that day either. Next thing you daughter is acting the fool and called the cops. They came and went, no one was actually spanked....but they said you can not put your hands on a child this age...ever...and that you must talk it out. Makes it darned hard around here knowing that you can't even SAY the wrong thing thinkin that they will call the cops. : (

  • i dont spank my 8 year old anymore because its now embarassing to her. it makes her feel inferior. it used to work but not now. now the only hting that works is a very strict grounding to the room where i bring her meals and everything. her only way out is a need to pee. i never ground her for more than a day and she keeps it in mind for a good month each time.

    Answer by Anonymous at 5:13 PM on Apr. 21, 2010

  • I don't believe any child is too old, whether they are 5 or 35... My dad has only physically hit me (aside from spankings) was when I was 14. He caught me smoking, I called him a bastard. So I did deserve it. He smacked me right on the mouth ( didn't bruise/bleed or anything like that) and you can believe I've never cussed my father since then!! If your daughter needs put in her place, then by all means, do it Momma!!! Let her know as her mother you demand the respect you deserve.

    Answer by momma_marian at 5:14 PM on Apr. 21, 2010

  • Spanking is wrong - hitting and being aggressive towards another human being is WRONG. A child does not deserve to be treated that way and it shows your lack of understanding about other human beings especially your own kids.

    Answer by keyaziz at 5:16 PM on Apr. 21, 2010

  • Hitting your child, or anyone, is wrong at ANY age.

  • im not an expert mom and i only have a 3 year old right now BUT i can tell you the last time i got my a** beat-i was 17 years old lol. i deserved it though.

    Answer by Anonymous at 5:04 PM on Apr. 21, 2010

  • Not sure, my mom stopped spanking us about the time I turned 12. I found out years later from my dad that she thought we'd turn around and hit her back. Yeah...right! And still expect my dad to have let us live? My own kids are 21 and 25, I honestly cannot remember when I stopped spanking them. It was fairly young I think, it never seemed to help anyway.

How do I manage a newborn and my two year old at the same time?

Ok, so I'm 36 weeks with number two girl on the way.... My first girl is 26 months old. As the day approaches I am struggling with how I will ensure my toddler wont feel neglected or left out. She hasn't nursed since she was 14 months but especially with the talk of the new baby, she still obsesses over "mommy's milkies." I worry she will get upset seeing new baby nurse. I also worry about her feeling like she isn't getting all the attention. My other question is how do you juggle the two? From going out to the store with both to getting them out of the car to getting chores done???? I am an attachment paranting kind of Mommy and didn't do the cry it out thing until daugter was 14 months...I'm hoping to do the same with the new baby by wearing her in a wrap and not letting her cry. I just want to be a good mommy and not have either of them feel neglected. Any advise from Mommy's with two or more would be much appreciated!!

  • My daughter was just one when I brought her sister home from the hospital, you will be surprised how innovative and resourceful we as mothers can be.  Use your judgement and do your best, but do not kill yourself in the process, I asked for help at least for a while, my mom was heaven sent and my dad was my hero, and after you get comfortable handling both you will be just fine!

    Answer by older at 6:25 PM on May. 16, 2011

  • Thank you so much! I am also very blessed to have such awesome, helpful parents!! And my Husband as well! It's when they aren't here to help that freaks me out! :-)

    Comment by hollysybb (original poster) at 6:30 PM on May. 16, 2011

  • Don't be overwhelmed. You'll be fine. As moms we learn to handle things as they're thrown at us. Do you have any family or friends nearby that can help? Can you get someone to do the major cleaning for you maybe twice a month? When your second one arrives, make sure to spend some time with your older one whenever the baby is sleep. Do some one-on-one things like reading together, playing tea party, or whatever she usually likes playing. No matter what you do she will be a little jealous and left out. Talk to her a lot too, explaining why her baby sister needs you so much and how you have done all those things for her when she was a baby. :)

    Answer by Ashoonik at 6:34 PM on May. 16, 2011

  • At some point in your children's lives they will feel left out...It will happen...Other than that I recommend spending one of baby's nap-times with your two year old. It will be hard to do sometimes but do not clean, do bills, or anything else. Just play with her and talk to her and do whatever you like to do together while the baby sleeps. I have three now and I still do this with the oldest two while baby sleeps. It is a good way to remind them that they are still important. Good luck:)

    Answer by BetcCarter at 6:40 PM on May. 16, 2011

  • I do attachment parenting, as well, and have two about the same age gap as yours. The most important thing is to give yourself some leeway to not HAVE to get all of the housework and chores done . . .just enough.

    I didn't do cry-it-out either, so I put both kids to bed at the same time for night sleep . . . I have some suggestions to make it easier, if your want to PM me.

    I did the baby-wearing thing for both, and it was fine.

    Just be sure to include your oldest in as much of the baby stuff as possible. That way, she will be a "part" of it, and not on the sidelines.

    Good Luck!!

    Answer by ImaginationMama at 6:52 PM on May. 16, 2011

  • You just kind of figure it out as you go. When my oldest was 28 months she became a big sister for the 2nd time. I also had a 13mo and then the newborn. I was bottle feeding, though, and we don't do attachment parenting. I never had any issues with jealousy and my kids were very independent at that age so it might have made it easier. The best thing I found is to include the older kids. Have them help (take diapers to the trash, bring the baby's clean clothes, etc). My kids loved helping at that age and it made them feel like a big kid and included in what was going on with the baby.

    Answer by justanotherjen at 7:40 PM on May. 16, 2011

  • When you figure it out let me know. DD will be 19 months when #2 comes, lol.

    Answer by Kitkat61277 at 1:07 AM on May. 17, 2011

  • It is hard...your daughter is used to being an only child. It will def be an adjustment for her. But I think it helps when the older sibling is able to be helpful with the new baby and reassure her of the big girl things that she can do that make you proud :)

My Husband Just Shot my Hopes down the Drain

Posted by   + Show Post

We were all on board to try for our second child next in a few months then out of no where he decides he wants to wait another year. I am so pissed. Reason, I just found the pefect doctor, I am in perfect health, I am at my ideal weight, I have the perfect health insurance, I love my job and our budget is great. To make matters better our DS in pretty much potty training himself and doing great in daycare. Last time, I listened to him I ended up with sucky insurance, a shitty doctor, and many health problems to follow from the L&D staff messing up. We were all on board and I don't know what happened. He also wants to back out of getting me the house which is fine because the one he wants is bigger. I just don't feel like I'm being valued.

Sounds like my hubby. I want another n all he talks about is not being financially stable. If everyone waited to be financially stable no one would have kids. Also uses excuse to not have kids cuz of state the world is in. So the end is near... God never mentioned stopping bearing children. And as far as a government type may be harder to bug out with an infantry but it is possible. Or u could just bug in. I'd do what others are doing n try to compromise. I've lowered myself to making smartass sarcastic statements. But I still maintain fact that I don't want our son to be alone all his life. There will he a day when we are dead....I want him to have someone. A sibling would be perfect. Try that approach....

So sorry to hear that! ; (
by Bronze Member on Nov. 9, 2013 at 9:00 AM
Explain to him where you are health wise and why waiting a year would not be good from that perspective. Most men are clueless when it comes to women's health since their part in pregnancy and childbirth is smaller in a sense.

Ways to Bond and Build Confidence

Posted by on Aug. 15, 2012 at 12:00 AM
  • 28 Replies

My daughter and I just returned from visiting my parents sans my husband (who couldn't get away from work stuff), which was a blast. You would think it would be a tad stressful traveling, but it was actually a primo experience, full of bonding time. We had to tap into our Mama-Kiddo teamwork with juggling bags, both of us helped each other stay patient while waiting in long security lines, we chatted about what we saw all around.

Spending time together, doing an activity is a great way to bond and build that foundation of communication, as well as boost her confidence. That special time also teaches her that happiness isn't something we can touch and doesn't come from a thing you buy, it is something you experience. Now, since we aren't jetting off every other week, I was thinking of ways that she and I can bond and keep that self-esteem growing on a more regular basis.

Learn something - Whether it's knitting or studying all of the constellations or learning a new language or work your way through a cool cookbook, something you can both start off at the same point and discover together is a prime way to bond as well as build inner self-worth. Hint: if you are learning something together and she says "I can do it, Mom!," let her! Making mistakes and fixing them and getting it right the next time is a huge confidence builder.

Start a reading club - Read the same book. This is a great idea for those of you with older girls, even off at college or out of the house.

Create playlists for each other - If she's really into her music, find common ground by having her make a playlist for you and you make one for her. Share your favorites from when you were her age. This can spark some great conversations.

Get moving together - Take a yoga class every Saturday morning or go for a speed walk Sunday afternoons or make up your own backyard exercise game you do together. Getting an adrenaline rush, racing her, boosting that heartbeat up, all of it is a good way to bond.

Have ritual nighttime talk - Whether it's a few questions each of you answer (odd thought you had that day, what made you feel happy during the day, or the like) or whether it is just 15 minutes you chill on her bed and just listen to what she has to share, connect every day at the same time.

Do you and your daughter share a hobby? What is a special way you connect and bond?

 My girls and I each have our own things we do together.  My oldest and I read the same kind of books, she is literally my mini me.  My second daughter and I love watching movies together.  My third and fourth daughters love to dress up and do their nails with me.

by Bronze Member on Aug. 15, 2012 at 7:45 AM

We do a lot of different things to have bonding time.  When my oldest daughter was in high school we would have our bonding time after the younger kids went to bed.  We'd watch Will and Grace re-runs, drink hot chocolate, and talk about the day.

by Wendy on Aug. 15, 2012 at 8:24 AM
Different things. Watch a movie, take a walk, just sit and talk.

by Bronze Member on Aug. 15, 2012 at 9:31 AM

 These are some great ideas. We use car time as our talking time. Nothing in the background to distract-no earphones. On long car trips, we listen to books on tape and after each disc, we talk about what's happened.

by on Aug. 15, 2012 at 9:39 AM

I like the idea of reading the same book. We had done yoga together. But I guess we don't really share a hobby. Maybe some day. My hobby is kind of morbid though lol so I wouldn't want her to see the things I've seen. I look through missing peoples files and unidentified peoples files and try to find a match.

by on Aug. 15, 2012 at 9:49 AM

My son and I do yoga, together.

by on Aug. 15, 2012 at 10:04 AM

We go for a walk around the neighborhood every Sunday after dinner, as a family.  It's our way of bonding while promoting a healthy lifestyle.  Other things I've done is just take each of my daughters out individually and do something with them, just the two of us.

by Bronze Member on Aug. 15, 2012 at 10:27 AM

We walk together and when we have time we embroider.

Cosmetic Chemicals that cause hormone disruption

Posted by on Jan. 10, 2013 at 6:41 AM
  • 0 Replies
  • 146 Total Views

(NaturalNews) The products we use to improve our personal appearance are often extremely harmful to our natural balance of hormones. There are several commonly used ingredients that can be found in everything from body and face lotions to cosmetics and shaving creams which are known endocrine disruptors.

These ingredients can alter hormonal chemistry in a couple of ways. They can increase circulation of certain hormones by mimicking their activity in the body, or they can reduce the level of sex hormones in the body or block their activity. This can impact fertility, lead to early menopause and influence things like mood, length and severity of the menstrual cycle in women.

Phthalates linked to infertility, early menopause

Phthalates are a family of chemicals that are used in most artificially scented products on the market today. This includes air fresheners, scented body products like lotions and of course most commercial perfumes. They are used to help stabilize the fragrance chemicals.

They are commonly used to soften plastics. They are also found in products such as hair straighteners, hairsprays, and nail polish. A recent study done by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found that all 289 participants in the study had phthalates present in their urine.

Studies have concluded that phthalates likely contribute to early-onset menopause and may also contribute to infertility in women and men. They can have a definite impact on the natural hormones circulating in the body, and have shown the ability to reduce circulating sex hormones.

In other words, they tamper with your body's natural ability to control its natural balance of female and male sex hormones. Some of the ways you may see phthalates on the ingredient label are as di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP) and di(2-ehtylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP).

The "amine" family of chemicals

You've likely seen offshoots of this popular chemical additive in the ingredient list of products purchased in the past. They can be found as diethanolamine (DEA), triethanolamine (TEA), amonoethanolamine (MEA) on the ingredient label.

These chemicals are often used as an emulsifier for stable mixtures, as a foaming agent in bar and liquid soaps and shampoos, and also as a preservative for long shelf life. They are not only linked to hormonal disruption, but they are also linked to liver and kidney cancer and are corrosive to the delicate eye tissue.

Nonylphenol or nonylphenol ethoxylates

These chemicals are found in many commercial hair colors and dyes as well as in laundry detergent and household cleaners. They can usually be found on the ingredient label as 4-nonylphenol, an alkylphenol. These chemicals act like female estrogen in the body and can throw both the male and female body out of their natural hormone balance.

Parabens are preservatives that are present in many body and hair care products. This family of chemicals is found on the ingredient label with the prefixes of "methyl," "ethyl," "propyl" and "butyl." Parabens are a well known endocrine disruptor with a documented history of causing hormonal issues because of their ability to mimic the female hormone, estrogen.

Triclosan is an antibacterial agent that was added to specially formulated soaps and hand sanitizers specifically marketed for antibacterial use. They are highly disruptive to the human endocrine system and several links to cancer have also been raised over the past several years.

Thankfully, a lot of products have yanked this from their formulations, but it is still one to watch out for in your ingredient labels. Also, it is important to note that normal soap and warm water will kill bacteria just as effectively.

Is This “One-Second Knockout” Really the Fastest Knockout in MMA History? [VIDEO]

(Props: Ultimate Challenge MMA)

On Saturday night at WCMMA 14 in London, welterweight Mike Garret knocked out Sam Heron with a savage head kick immediately after the opening bell. Promoter Dave O’Donnell — who you may remember from the “Completely Insane British Guy Interviews Anderson Silva” video — called it a “new world record” at 1.7 seconds. In the longer video above, a timecode runs in the bottom-right-hand corner of the screen, stopping at 1.13 seconds, which would be incredible if it was an accurate reflection of when the fight ended. But it’s not, really.

That 1.13 number refers to the time between the first bell and the time when Garret’s foot makes contact with Heron’s face. Unfortunately, that’s not the official end of the match. An MMA fight ends at the moment when the referee waves it off or intervenes. So yes, Heron gets his lights turned out just a little over one second into the fight, and Garret walks away, signaling that the fight is over for him at least. The problem is, the referee takes a couple of additional seconds to walk over to Heron, assess his condition, and wave off the fight. Later in the video, O’Donnell rounds down and calls it a “one-second” knockout. Then he has a conversation with Garret, and honestly, I couldn’t understand most of it.

Personally, I’m seeing three seconds and change, which would put it in line with Clements vs. Tucas. (And this one still looks faster.) But if self-promotion is your goal, “one-second knockout” certainly sounds nicer.

And Now He’s Retired: Paul Taylor Hangs It Up After Latest Injury

(Admit it. You’re gonna miss that face. | Photo via MMAWeekly)

UFC lightweight Paul Taylor has retired from MMA competition after the most recent of a long string of injuries forced him out of at least his fourth fight in the last three years. Taylor hasn’t fought since his knockout win against Gabe Ruediger in February 2011.

Taylor was slated to face Anthony Njokuani next month in Manchester but an injury forced the 33-year-old British slugger to pull out of the matchup once again. He promptly announced that he was retiring from MMA competition.

“All his old injuries flared up in training,” a source close to Taylor told Fighters Only. “He’s very disappointed not to be fighting on the Manchester card but there’s nothing he can do, these injuries just won’t go away.”

Taylor ends his career with an overall record of 11-6-1 (with 1 NC), and a 4-5 tally in the UFC. But despite his journeyman’s record, Taylor was a consistently exciting fighter, winning three Fight of The Night bonuses since he began his Octagon run in 2007. (In particular, his UFC 75 battle against Marcus Davis remains one of the greatest one-round fights in UFC history.) Taylor was also key part of the organization’s promotional efforts in his native Britain. Taylor fought six times for the UFC in the UK.

Like Shane Carwin, Paul Taylor had enough talent and heart to have a much longer career in mixed martial arts, but his body simply didn’t cooperate. Enjoy retirement and be well, “Relentless” Paul.

CagePotato PSA: Tom ‘Kong’ Watson Establishes UK Charity Account to Help Children in Need, Enhance Public Perception of MMA

(An artist’s rendition of Tom Watson with his head shaved, dressed in a bear costume. I promise this will make more sense if you watch the video after the jump.)

Our friend Jonathan Shrager has been talking with BAMMA middleweight champion Tom “Kong” Watson, who has established a UK MMA charity account for Children in Need, one of the most high-profile and prestigious annual TV charity events across the pond. Essentially, it’s to raise money on behalf of an umbrella fund labelled “UK MMA,” helping a great cause while enhancing public perceptions of the sport within the UK, and introducing new mainstream audiences to MMA and its personalities.

The Brits are several years behind the U.S. in terms of general perceptions of the sport, so this would certainly go some way to improving that situation. Several prominent figures within the UK MMA community are already committed to backing the bid, including Nate Marquardt, Che Mills, Andre Winner and Alex Reid.

Here is an interview Jonny recently conducted with Tom which elaborates on his noble vision…

Which MMA Fighter Will Test Positive For Steroids Next?

Video: ‘UFC Primetime–Jones vs Evans’ Episode 1

Primetime Part I  (Video via: YouTube/WeedIsJustAPlanttt)

Despite the brooding drama built into the upcoming Jon Jones-Rashad Evans title fight at UFC 145, the latest installment of the UFC Primetime franchise has a decidedly more mature aura about it. No more fire-alarm monologues, no more interviews with grade school teachers. We’re dealing with big people problems. Rashad Evans has lost just about everything in his life over the past year, and he places a lot of that blame on the shoulders of his former teammates. While other matchups may have produced more vitriol for the cameras, few have the depth behind them as this rivalry.

“He has a book of notes that he takes, and it’s like a book of moves, and he reads this book of moves so that way when he fights the moves are fresh in his head. So I go in there in the locker room to wish him luck and I’m giving him daps and hugs and I’m going to warm him up, and I go and sit next to him when he’s looking at the book of notes and he covers it, and he puts it down and he looks at me. I’m like, ‘Damn, bro, it’s like that?’ Like, ‘For real?’ So then I knew at that point that I was next on the menu.” Rashad Evans, on the first time he realized he and Jones were destined to be better enemies than friends.

We start off in sunny Florida with an establishing shot of Rashad’s new crib. Over the past 12-months he’s divorced his high school sweetheart, severed ties with his ‘family’ at Jackson’s MMA Academy, and packed his bags for Florida to begin life anew. That’s a hell of an upheaval, and it must be taking an emotional toll on Rash…damn, did you see that ‘lac? Suga’s going to be alright, y’all.

“A few years ago Greg Jackson approached me with the idea of having Jon Jones join the camp. And I was like, ‘Man, this kid looks pretty good. He looks like an up and coming guy.’ And I was like, ‘Greg, I don’t really feel comfortable with him coming on the team, being that he’s going to be somebody that I got to compete against.’ And Greg was like, ‘No, no buddy. It’s not going to be like that. We’re family. We’re brothers. We’ll never have to fight each other.’ And I was like, ‘Yeah, but still, I just don’t feel comfortable with the idea.’ And Greg was like, ‘Listen, trust me. You will not have to fight him, and if you do have to fight him I’m with you 100%.’ ”  Rashad Evans, doing a pretty good impression of a goofy white dude. No wonder he’s so adept at spotting those ‘fake ass white boys‘.

“You know, it made me feel angry at first. I was full of emotions and I was just more like, ‘Man, fuck Greg.’ You tell me that it would never happen, you’re guaranteeing me that I’ll never have to fight somebody, and I go off of your word, and then it turns around and it happens just the way that I thought it would happen? Then you turn around and say, ‘Alright, I’m going to stick with him’? That’s a betrayal.”  Rashad Evans, summing up a year of drama and saving me the need for 100 hyperlinks in a single, tidy quote.

“I remember growing up, we really didn’t have anything, but my parents were so loving that we never really realized how poor we were, because we had so much love in our home. And my job as a father is to outdo my father, and to show him that he raised a great man. And I’m out here trying to get it, not really for me at all but for my family and for my family’s future.”  Jon Jones, appreciating his roots. To this day he carries that photo of his father posing on the hood of his busted up El Camino in his back pocket for a little extra motivation.

“Rashad Evans realized that I was becoming the best fighter and that I was in line for the title shot, and that’s when he made me seem as if I wanted to challenge him. And I didn’t want to challenge him. The only thing I always wanted to do was to fulfill my dream of being the number one fighter in the world. To this day, I’ve never challenged Rashad at all.”  Jon Jones, who believes that the drama between the two is as one-sided as the fight will be.

“Yeah I feel bad for Rashad. You know, I miss the guy. Actually me and Jon were talkingabout how much fun he was and he’d always make us laugh. So there’s no negative animosity on our end. Especially not on my end.”  Greg Jackson, coping with the breakup like a real man, who is naturally sharing a laugh in bed with his hot new girlfriend while the recently-divorced ex-wife is crying alone in her shabby one-bedroom apartment dealing with the four kids and the dog.

“Rashad was the one who got bypassed through hard work, and he was the one who needed to find a way to challenge me for the light-heavyweight championship. And that’s why Coach Jackson, Coach Winklejohn and everyone on this team is backing me to the fullest in the is fight. Because I’ve done nothing wrong.”  Jon Jones, giving all credit to hard work when we know full well that God has a history of protecting him while saying ‘to hell’ with everyone else.

“Rashad fighting me out of anger, you know it actually excites me because it’s going to deteriorate his game. He’s really going to realize that he’s wasted the last three or four months of his life training for this fight because he’s not going to win.”  Jon Jones, who in his youth doesn’t yet realize that win or lose it’s not a wasted training camp if you share intimate moments with those around you.

They were all a big happy family. But Jones broke the Jackson oath by accepting to challenge Evans for the tittle. Now they are apeship mad and will fight eachother to the death or until the referee calls the fight or something like that.

Why does Evans complain about not liking Jones joining the camp? Isn't it Jacksons gym or camp? Why does he need bis approval??? Then why does jackson say we wont have to compete with him? If they are both 205 why would he NOT worry about that? So Evans only want to be the only 205er in the while gym because if Jackson brings in any other 205er he thinks he MIGHT have to compete against him SOMEDAY???

    Default Fuck Fuck Fuck!!

    I got mega mega mega trolled.

    I was on a that omegle website, someone offered to send pics of them with their baps out...i thought Ok this is pretty cool, she spoke for like an hour and seemed really real, she asked me to get my cock out on cam, which I, did, she kept talking for a long , and sent more pics, after like 30 mins she fucked off, then came back with the reply.

    "hey its your friend from school, i knew you did things like this!!!!"

    "your gonna see these pics again"

    So Cagewarrios, there might be a pic of me with my winky out popping up on the web somewhere, Im gutted I didnt save the pics of her so I had something to show you guys. But im officially fucked.

    Anyone think it might have just been she got bored, or an ugly girl sending someone elses pics? because I have no problems with that, just as long as she didnt get a print screen of my cock.

    this is omegle, it won't be someone you know, they're just winding you up. i wouldn't worry about that.

    what i would worry about is that it more than likely wasn't a bird, more likely a fat old bloke now getting off on your cock.

Blossom Baby Shower Cake

This a baby shower cake that I did for my sister. The 6 inch "cake" is made out of Rice Krispies because she really likes them. I used a blossom veiner & cutter set from Global Sugar Art for the fondant flowers. The topper came from Hobby Lobby.

Happy Halloween: A Pumpkin Patch Party

Today I bring you a Halloween treat... I always love working with Michele of Cakewalk Baking and this Party at the Pumpkin Patch for her son Graham's birthday was no exception.  She wanted traditional orange + black colors with a bit of nostalgia, so I designed the poster style invitations, CD favors and 'wicked good' lunch boxes accordingly.

The party was held at a local pumpkin patch called G&M Farms.  After a homemade boxed lunch, kids were entertained with a straw bale maze, pony rides and of course, pumpkin picking.  Michele baked up delicious sweet treats including ghost cupcakes, bat + pumpkin sugar cookies and pumpkin donuts (along with cotton candy and swirly lollipops). At the end of the day, guests received muslin favor bags that held a knit Halloween finger puppet, a ghost cookie and a custom Halloween CD to take home.

Happy Halloween!

Black + White Painted Pumpkins

Instead of carving pumpkins this year I decided to skip the mess and roll with something a bit more crafty. I painted two pumpkins and I really can't decide which I'm happier with. The feather pumpkin was inspired by this Martha carving. I spray painted a pumpkin white and drew a feather freehand (first in pencil and then filled in with black glitter paint. The glittered feather probably would have looked prettier on a natural white pumpkin, but you work with what you've got. The other pumpkin was done with chalkboard paint, so there are unlimited ways to design and enjoy it. I tried a traditional jack o lantern, a cat and finally landed on another nod to the feather theme. Which pumpkin do you prefer?

I hope you've enjoyed this week of feathered projects... check in tomorrow for a few more feathers 'Simply Styled.'

'Feathered' Pumpkin Pancakes

Did you catch the feather garlands I shared yesterday?  Well, one of them is being re-purposed today... as a pancake topper!  Of course, you could easily use this feathered bunting as a cake topper too, but I say it's time to give breakfast a little makeover this Halloween.  What do you think of that?  See below for the simple & delicious pumpkin pancake recipe...

 photos + styling © cake. 2011
Pumpkin Pancakes
adapted from Martha Stewart

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1 cup milk
6 tablespoons pumpkin puree
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 egg

Stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, salt, nutmeg and cloves in a medium bowl. Whisk together the milk, pumpkin, butter and egg in a separate bowl. Fold this mixture into the dry ingredients. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup batter for each pancake and cook approximately 3 minutes per side.

Feathers, Owls + Cocktails by the Fire

Cozy up around the fireplace and enjoy a glass of Pinot Noir... here are a few simple ideas to add ambiance to a fall dinner or cocktail party at home.

These soft and delicate feather garlands were easily created using a needle and thread to string quail and pheasant feathers in varying patterns (not to worry... no birds were harmed in the making of these garlands).

The owls were purchased at a discount store in an unattractive silver color.  A few coats of flat white spray paint immediately modernized them and gave them the appearence of porcelain.  It was such a simple fix that I've been resisting a strong urge to spray paint all of my household objects.

A mantle is always a natural home to display seasonal objects like these, but add a few bottles of wine and some cocktails to the mix and you have yourself a cozy party by the fire!

DiY Feather Placecards

This week kicks off with a special guest contributor.  I've been dreaming up some projects involving feathers for fall and I just knew she would have a brilliant idea up her sleeve. Please join me in welcoming... Jenny from Hank + Hunt! And stay tuned for more fun feathered projects throughout the week...

Hi! I’m Jenny from Hank + Hunt and I am here with a fall feather placecard.   Since the holidays bring lots of large dinner parties, place cards are a fun way to dress us your table. These simple kraft paper cards are adorned with a single feather.   Simple and pretty.

You will need:
Glue Dots
1/8” hole punch
If you prefer to print your names, use this template, and place your text centered over the last 1/3 of the second and fourth rows of boxes.  Print.

Once you have printed your sheets, or if you prefer to hand write the names, it is time to cut out your cards. Cut 1/2” of the top and bottom of your sheet of cardstock. Follow the guides or cut the sheet in half both horizontally and vertically. You will have four cards.

Fold cards in half.

Punch a hole in the upper left corner of the front of the card.

Insert feather end in the hole from the front.

Adhere the end of feather on the back of the card with a Glue Dot.

Thank you so much for having me Becca! xo, Jenny

A Rustic Italian Luncheon

I designed this classic Italian lunch as a pre-wedding celebration for a co-worker. The party was held at the office so we kept it on a budget with some simple details. A checkered oilcloth was laid over the conference table and linen curtains backed the garlands of pasta and rustic fabric bunting. I also potted fresh basil plants in tomato sauce cans for guests to take home as favors, which added a nice pop of green appropriate for the traditional Italian setting. Food was provided potluck style, and in great abundance... highlights included spaghetti & meatballs, garlic bread, bruschetta, 3 layer dip, olive oils and cheese straws, with Pelligrino to drink. To top it off, dessert included biscotti, chocolates, a raspberry tart and a tiramisu cake. Needless to say we had a fairly unproductive afternoon while nursing our food comas, but it worked out beautifully and our guest of honor was both surprised and thrilled.

What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

Now, don't you have a photo you want to send me? ;)

Sunday Sweets: Childhood Friends

After weeks like this one, I find there's nothing quite as comforting as re-visiting old childhood friends:

By CW reader Christie Jackson

...not to mention banging on drums and screaming.

E.T. is here to make it all better, though:

Submitted by Renai & made by Picakeso

Right after he borrows your phone, a five-pound bag of Reese's Pieces, and a package of Double Stuf Oreos.

(Ok, ok, the Oreos are for me. WHAT.)

Of course, there's always room for NEW friends:

By CW reader Valerie Sever

... who come bearing lo mein cupcakes.
(Get it? Bearing? HEYO.)

And we all know that one happy-go-lucky type who helps put life in perspective with a signature catch-phrase:

By Peggy Does Cake

Just kidding.

Hakuna matata! Here, eat an adorable sugar bug!

"It's the CIIIIIIIRCLE of liiiife! And it MOVES US ALL!!"

(Sorry; I just love type/screaming song lyrics.)

Of course, we also need the grumpier characters to balance things out. Especially the ones we know are really just big ol' softies on the inside:

Sub'd by Rebecca B., made by For Heaven's Cakes

Or, in this case, are big ol' mounds of CAKE on the inside. MMMM.

Sometimes it's easy to think a cake has to be big and sculpted and covered in fondant to be amazing, but the truth is a skilled baker can make even the simplest sheet cake a work of art:

Sub'd by Jessie R., made by Cake Central member robinscakes

So perfect!

Or for my fellow Tolkien fans, how about some Hobbit-themed cupcakes?

Submitted by Sandra K. and made by Imaginarium Cakes

Those braided beards are cracking. me. up.

A lot has been said about the cartoon violence back in ye olden days (aka my childhood), but I've gotta say:

Submitted by Kate F. and made by Amy A-S

This is officially the cutest head-bonk I have ever seen. Look at all the little stars!

Oooh, this next one reminds me which movie John and I need to watch soon:

By Artisan Cake Company

ParaNorman! I've heard it's really good, if a bit scarier than most people expected. I love the faded, spooky style on the lettering - reminds me of watercolors sprinkled with salt. Such a cool look!

My jaw dropped when I first saw this FrankenWeenie cake:

By SprinkleBakes

I'm pretty sure that's not Photoshop, either; the baker just did the entire cake in gray-scale! The contrast with the lime green interior is STUNNING, don't you think? Now I want to see more black-and-white cakes with brightly colored insides - ooh, or maybe rainbow swirls?

Ok, ok, how about this: a Wizard of Oz cake, before the movie goes color - eh? And on the inside, rainbow swirls and maybe two feet sticking out wearing the Ruby Slippers. SOMEONE GET ON THIS IMMEDIATELY.

Getting back to the Sweets...

Here's one for two of the biggest kids I know (and I mean that in the best way possible):

Submitted by James O. and made by Black Sheep Custom Cakes

This is Claptrap from the video games Borderlands and Borderlands 2, aka John and our friend Missy's Favorite Game Of All Time. Claptrap is hilarious, from what I've overheard while John plays, and he apparently really likes to dance. (Claptrap, that is. Although John is also quite entertaining when "Dancing Queen" comes on.)

And finally, a cake that combines elegance, adorableness, and the most perfect mass of curly red hair:

Submitted by Muna C. and made by Choko Late

The little bears! The corset lacing! Merida's teensy elbow poofies! It's alll workin'.

Well, I hope today's Sweets made you smile, and that you're all having a peaceful, extra-lazy weekend.
You've earned it.

I saw ParaNorman a few weeks ago and liked it a lot. I don't think it was too scary, but I do wish there'd been more ghosts (that's all I'll say and hopefully when you watch it, you'll see what I mean :-) ).

Oh my god. I need those hobbit cupcakes. Except I could never bring myself to eat them and then I would just leave them on the table until the dog got wise to them an ate like half the plate and then threw then back up around the house while I yelled "I AM SO SORRY GANDALF WHHHYYY!"

So it's probably better that I will not get to have any Hobbit cupcakes anytime soon.

I have been surrounding myself with sweet stuff all weekend. Including too many doughnuts, but I'm being gentle with myself about that. This was a wonderful addition to kitten & laughing baby videos, playing Animal Crossing, and happy John Prine songs. Thanks!

If Claptrap is part of your childhood memories, I'm going to wonder just what sort of parents you had. The Borderlands series (which I also enjoy) is not exactly kiddie material.

For Halloween one year, my niece went as Dorothy from the first part of the movie. Her mom made the dress from gray gingham, her make-up was done with the black & white sepia style, and she dyed her hair dark. She looked amazing!

My kids love CL4P-TP.

Not as much as me though!

And, yesyesyes! Watch Paranorman. It was robbed of Best Animated Film at the Oscars. It's just an amazing movie with some really great messages dropped in. Especially at the end. No giving it away, but the end made my husband and I's jaw drop and were were totally impressed.

Hah! You made me remember something funny with your Wizard of Oz reference. Years ago I worked in a video rental/sales store and a special edition of the video of the Wizard of Oz came out to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the film.
I personally had to deal with a customer who , having picked up her pre-ordered VHS copy (yeah, I'm old), promptly brought it back demanding an exchange because her copy was 'defective'. Her complaint? The first few minutes of the movie were, in her words, "In black and white". She was livid, rude, and LOUD.
No amount of patient and courteous explaining that the sepia toned footage at the beginning of the film was intentional (and that she would not find ANY copy that did not include this) was sufficient. She eventually got her refund and hit the road. Everyone in the store laughed for days over it.

I love gray scale cakes with bright interiors. One of the first really awesome cakes I saw was a simple round layer cake with a gray scale rainbow on the top with white clouds. It was kind of depressing, until the cake was cut and the rainbow was inside it. I should have made one to celebrate April showers. Maybe next year!

April 21, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterWendy

"Look at me, I'm dancin'! I'M DANCIN'!!"

I absolutely have to know what flavor the Frankenweenie cake was. Like, was it just food coloring, or was it like, lime flavored? (yum!)

April 21, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterTeal

Okay, this is weird, but I thought of this as soon as I saw the Frankenweenie cake. I used to read a magazine called American Girl, and once they had a recipe in there for a cake for a Wizard of Oz party. It was black and white on the outside, with rainbow layers on the inside. I was a little weirded out when I read what you wrote about a Wizard of Oz cake. It was like you were reading my thoughts. o.0

That American Girl issue Tiffany mentioned? I read it! And that was one of my birthday parties!! It involved a cake with rainbow layers (one layer per color) frosted in white. I think we used black gel icing to draw a tornado on it. It was awesome. (There was also "melted witch" punch. And we made adorable baskets, and tissue paper poppies, and had a scarecrow stuffing contest. ...and now I understand why I want to have theme parties all the time!) Pictures exist... somewhere in the real world, I think... (It was like 15 years ago? We hadn't gone digital yet.)

April 22, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterKatherine G.

The Brave cake is really cute... EXCEPT Merida's face is creeping me out! That is NOT how she looked in the movie! What is wrong with her eyes?

April 22, 2013 | Unregistered Commenterdannysmom

As awesome as all these cakes are (and they are) my favorite bit is that the Animal cake is spelled the way Animal would say it. Er, scream it.

To save you from the inevitable wrath of die-hard Tolkein fans, I have to tell you that there is only ONE hobbit in that awesome set of cupcakes. One hobbit, one wizard, and thirteen dwarves (who would probably be offended at being called hobbits).

FYI...Those are dwarfs. Not hobbits. Just sayin...

@MaryA--I think by "Hobbit-themed" they meant characters from the book The Hobbit, not hobbits specifically.

I don't know how you could cut into the Up cake, much less eat it. But the FrankenWeenie cake is probably my favorite of all of these. Now I really want a cake that's black and white on the outside and colorful on the inside.

The Sunday sweet cakes are great. Just one nit-pick, as pointed out by Melissa they forgot Mike's ears/horns on the Monsters Inc cake.

*Sees "ruby slippers" in the post*

...uhh... In the origional book, they were silver... Did the movie erase ALL memories of the book or are cakes simply a lot funner to base off of movies?

The ET cake kind of creeped me out O_O I haven't seen E.T. since I was, like, three or four or soemthing close to that! Amazing beautiful cakes. AMAZE :d

Love these! One question though - in cake # 3, did anyone else notice Po has his chopsticks upside down? He's eating with the butts.

Also like the idea of the grayscale cake that is coloured inside, and flavoured to match the colour.

Suspect sought following assault on 14-year-old in southwest Calgary

Stephane Massinon, Calgary Herald

A 14-year-old girl was attacked on Thursday by a stranger while walking in southwest Calgary, police say.

The victim was walking north on the west side of 5 St. S.W. near 50 Ave S.W. when she was grabbed from behind by a male at 6:35 p.m.

Police say she hit her attacker and ran to a nearby school and the culprit fled.

When police went to the area, the suspect could not be found.

The suspect is described as Caucasian, 16 to 20 years-old 6’ and slim build and blue eyes and his face may have been covered. He was wearing dark washed out blue jeans, a black long-sleeve shirt and dark blue Nike running shoes.

    Great design Great putter if you like a mallet, and some similarities to a blade. January 10, 2012
    Great putter Really like my white hot xg 9. Bought this because I thought it might have better balance/weighting. Not only does it, but find alignment guides very helpful. Great investment December 28, 2011
    Ball rolls nicely off this putter face This putter is heavier than a blade, but I find it keeeps your line better than a blade. No more pushing putts to the right with this mallet putter. October 26, 2011
    Great Putter Can't find anything wrong with this putter. Great feel, excellent balance May 26, 2011
    So far i like the feel and the look so far so good April 23, 2011
    better late than never the only thing that kept me from buying an odyssey before was the price tag. getting one here took that out of the picture. the rossie looks identical (ecxept for the face) as my old dunlop putter, but when you hit it the similarities end. great putter for anyone who likes a mallet style. April 13, 2011
    Performance better than expected Great feel for slower greens. Weekend player striving for perfection. January 19, 2011
    Instant Improvement Balanced face made a difference. December 11, 2010

CalState Cares Day

The first Cal State Cares Day was organized by California State Student Association student body presidents and took place on March 23, 2001. The student leaders wanted to implement a day of service entirely driven by student volunteers as a means of demonstrating student commitment to the CSU and building pride through community service. The idea of holding a Cal State Cares Day systemwide reinforces the 23-campus effort that students are committed to community service. In 2003, California State Student Association designated the week of April 21 - 25 as Cal State Cares Week. Campuses were free to choose their own themes and projects, which may extend over the entire week or take place within a single day.

"A Statewide Day of Student Service Celebrating Literacy", was the theme for the second annual Cal State Cares Day. On April 17, 2002 CSU campuses held book drives, book readings with children, essay contests, fundraisers for "First Book", and were able to partner with existing community service programs.

"CSU Students Find Helping Others a Rewarding Experience"

Cal State Cares Participants

Gina Garcia and Rosa Hernandez of CSU Long Beach spent the day with students at Bethune Elementary School in Long Beach. The children are all prize winners in the essay-writing contest sponsored by Long Beach State's Associated Students at its Cal State Cares Day service project.
