Pinstripe Supports St. Pete Glitter Queens and The Beth Dillinger Foundation

Pinstripe Marketing is proud to support the St. Pete Glitter Queens at their annual ball. The 2017 beneficiary is the Beth Dillinger Foundation.

The event theme was “Mod About the 60s”, so instead of go-go boots and Pucci prints, our team dressed as vintage Pan Am flight attendants, complete with flight bags, safety demonstrations and plenty of peanuts!

The Beth Dillinger Foundation was created in 2007 by Bob and Kay Dillinger in memory of their beloved daughter, Beth. The Beth Dillinger Foundation (BDF) is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization that provides support and education to youth in need. Bobbie and Ginger were high school friends of Beth and have worked with the Foundation on several projects to honor her memory.

Four different means of support include:

  • The Beth Dillinger Scholarship Fund, a scholarship endowment available to boys and girls who wish to continue their education, but do not have the funds to achieve that goal.
  • Beth’s Closet at PACE Center for Girls in Pinellas County, Florida
  • Beth’s Corner is a room created at “Ready for Life,” an organization with a goal to assist youth aging out of the foster care system.
  • The Hope Chest clothes closets located in the Public Defender’s Office in Clearwater, New Port Richey, and Dade City
  • Nourish to Flourish, a partnership with the 6th Circuit Public Defender’s Office and the Beth Dillinger Foundation to feed chronically hungry children in our area.

The event and St. Pete Glitter Queens raised $73,697 that evening. A match from the Pinellas Education Foundation will quadruple a portion of the funds to $160,000 in scholarships for the Beth Dillinger Scholarship Fund.

Spanish translation errors

Is something not working like it should? Let us know.
User avatar

2021-01-27 17:21:49

Hi, guys!

This is the last item in the Arrange tool in Spanish; I have a couple of suggestions for the translation.

As you can see, 'Selección automática' is too long to be fully displayed, but it'd be equally understandable if you translated it to 'Autoselección' and it would appear fully. Then, the menu lets you choose if you want it to select the layer you click on or the group the layer is in. However, the translation shows 'Agrupar' for 'Group'. 'Agrupar' is a verb, and it means 'Create a group', so it's a quite easy mistake to make when translating without context. It should read 'Grupo'.

Some more suggestions:

The Pen tool is translated as 'Bolígrafo'. 'Bolígrafo' means 'Pen', but a fountain pen is displayed, which is called 'Pluma' in Spanish. Also, the Freehand Pen tool is translated as 'Lápiz de formas libres' which, consequently, could be 'Pluma de forma libre', or 'Pluma de formas libres' if you wish to keep the plural ('Lápiz' means 'Pencil' anyway).

Here in the Preferences window there are two mistakes:

The light mode should be called 'Claro'. 'Luz' is 'Light' as in 'The speed of light', but 'Light blue' is 'Azul claro'.

The transparency section lets you choose if you want the checkerboard to be displayed. The translation for 'Checkerboard' is either 'Tablero de damas' –a bit clunky– or 'Damero', but 'Tablero' by itself only means 'Board'.

Hope you'll take this into consideration, and keep up with the great work!

Found a new mistranslation, also in Arrange tool.

'Girar' is a synonym for 'Rotar' (both mean 'Rotate') so if you want to achieve the 'Flip' notion present in the English version, you should use 'Voltear' (lit. 'flip' or 'turn over').

Well that's awesome! Thanks for taking the time to document all this and share your suggestions. We'll make sure to pass your feedback on to our localization guys.

Libyan Rebel Commander: 'Cut Gaddafi’s Throat, Then Establish an Islamic State'

“The Jihadists Go to the Front.” This is the title of French journalist Julien Fouchet’s report from eastern Libya that appears in the latest edition of the French Sunday paper Le Journal du Dimanche (JDD). Whereas American officials have been straining to make out “flickers” of intelligence suggesting a jihadist influence in the eastern Libyan rebellion against the rule of Muammar al-Gaddafi, Fouchet encountered a flagrant jihadist presence and met with participants who talked openly about their dedication to jihad and/or their desire to establish an Islamic state.

On the front near the oil-producing town of Brega, for instance, Fouchet spotted a bearded commander on a sand dune giving orders by satellite phone. The man wore the traditional robe favored by the Salafist current of Islamic fundamentalism and had a Kalashnikov slung over his shoulder. “You can’t speak to him,” rebel fighters told Fouchet. “He is not fighting for Libya. If he is fighting today, it’s for Allah.” Fouchet describes seeing imams driving among the ranks of the rebel fighters in a pick-up truck and reciting prayers over a loudspeaker.

Further to the east in Darnah, one of the strongholds of the rebellion, Fouchet met a certain Sheikh Choukri Al-Hasy, the director of the town’s principal mosque: the al-Sahaba mosque. As previously reported on PJM, according to captured al-Qaeda personnel records, Darnah furnished more foreign fighters to al-Qaeda in Iraq than any other foreign city or town — this despite the fact that the town’s total population is only 80,000. According to Fouchet’s account, the mosque contains a mausoleum where some 70 companions of the prophet Mohammed are reputedly buried. Seventeen rebel fighters are now buried nearby. “Those who followed the prophet Mohammed were the first jihadists,” Al-Hasy explained. “So, it’s normal that we are burying our martyrs next to them….”

Photos taken by Fouchet for the French photo agency Abaca Press show a wall of the mosque covered with portraits of the town’s “martyrs.” The captions to the Abaca Press images reveal a detail that is not mentioned in Fouchet’s JDD report. The “martyrs” commemorated at Darnah’s Al-Sahaba mosque also include locals who died fighting in Iraq. (Thumbnails of the Abaca Press photos are viewable here.)

In Darnah, Fouchet also spoke to a rebel commander whom he identifies as “Hakim al-Sadi.” The commander in question is presumably in fact Abdul-Hakim al-Hasadi, who, as reported on PJM, has admitted to fighting on the side of al-Qaeda and the Taliban in Afghanistan, as well as to recruiting Libyans to fight with al-Qaeda in Iraq. The biographical details attributed by Fouchet to “al-Sadi” correspond to the known details of the biography of al-Hasadi. These include his settling in Afghanistan prior to the 9/11 terror attacks and the subsequent American-led invasion, his detention by American forces in Pakistan in 2002, and his transfer to and imprisonment in his home country Libya.

Interestingly, Fouchet says that he spoke to “al-Sadi” as the latter was “leaving for the front to coordinate operations.” “In the past,” the rebel commander told Fouchet, “I didn’t like NATO. They fired missiles on Afghanistan. Now that they are helping us in Libya, it’s different. But if there are problems with them, if they begin to occupy our country, we can turn on them in the click of your fingers.”

As to his goals, “al-Sadi” explained to Fouchet that he had rejoined the jihad in order to “cut Gaddafi’s throat and establish an Islamic state.” Libyan government claims that al-Hasadi had declared an “Islamic emirate” in Darnah have been widely dismissed as propaganda by Western observers.

Hillary Loyalist McCaskill: But Don't You Guys Know How Socialist Bernie Is??

Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) expressed frustration that the media isn’t talking about just how far to the left Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) exists.

An avowed Clinton supporter, McCaskill charged on MSNBC that “the media is giving Bernie a pass right now.”

“I very rarely read in any coverage of Bernie that he’s a socialist,” she added of her Senate colleague.

“I think everybody wants a fight and I think they are not really giving the same scrutiny to Bernie Sanders that they’re giving certainly to Hillary Clinton and the other candidates. She’s gonna win this as soon as I think they begin treating him like a serious candidate instead of ‘oh my gosh, it’s so great we’ve got a fight in the Democratic Party!'”

“Any other candidate that had the numbers that Hillary Clinton has right now would be talked about as absolutely untouchable, and all of a sudden ‘oh, Bernie, Bernie, Bernie!'” McCaskill continued. “I think Bernie is too liberal to gather enough votes in this country to become president. And I think Hillary Clinton is going to be a fantastic president.”

Sanders got to fire back later on Bloomberg. “I find it surprising that she says the media doesn’t refer to me as a socialist — there’s no article I’ve seen that doesn’t refer to me as a democratic socialist.”

“To my knowledge this is the first time a colleague has attacked me; you’ll have to ask Sen. McCaskill why.”

This could be why: Sanders is gaining on Clinton in both New Hampshire and Iowa.

We’re huge fans of Mailchimp. We heard a rumour that they made a small version of their infamous Monkey and Cat hats — for cats!
How could we resist requesting they send us one. Not long after, we received a nice envelope with a couple fun promo items from the Mailchimp team.

So how could we not send it home with JF for the weekend in an attempt
to get it onto his cats. The results are simply spectacular. And the cats were extremely happy to have a new hat to wear (maybe extreme is a bit strong a sentiment).

Paris, Lemmie and all of us at Plank say “Thank you Mailchimp”!

Injection Molder funding arrived!

Big thanks to the Arizona Recycling Coalition for granting me $2700 in funding, as well as Friends of Flagstaff's Future for receiving and processing the check. I will be ordering the molder early next week, as soon as the funds go through. Yay!

Oven Structure!

The oven got some welding work done! It's almost ready. Thanks to Artisan Metal Works in Flagstaff, AZ for the quick turnaround and great work!

I'm talking with them about building the mold to make plastic sheets. We're not sure yet if they'll be making it. Woo!

Saturday, October 13, 2018

Oven works!

First of all, I have to express my excitement that the Arizona Recycling Coalition awarded me a further $2,700 for a Precious Plastic injection molder, three molds, and installation money. I will order that as soon as possible!

Now to the actual work. Ward stopped by on Friday and despite feeling under the weather I came outside to help out as much as I can as an electricity noob. We finished hooking up the controller and added an oven on/off switch so I don't have to unplug it every time.

One of the bigger issues as we plugged it in was that since almost everything on this oven is used and/or literally found in the trash, the main power cord's plug is a bit sketchy. By which I mean we're going to have to replace it with a better plug before I start really working with this.

But there is also good news! I managed to shove it into an extension cord and the controller lights up!

That number on the top, PV, is the actual oven temperature (15°C/59°F), and SV is the set temperature. After interpreting some really difficult Engrish instructions we figured out how to change the temp. You have to press RST, then move left to select which digit you want to change, then go up and down.

For this setting, you press RST ... < ... < ... ^

Which gives us 100°C (212°F). Not sure how to make it read out F, but I'll probably just make a cheat sheet. At any rate, we watched the actual temperature rise to 20° (68), then up and up to about 33°C/91°F. Time to stick my hand inside and find out if it's telling the truth!

Hot! Hot! It works!

Next steps here are to get the control box made and have a frame welded up around the oven so that it will take the pressure of the car jack. I'm a little behind where I was hoping to be, but I do have a couple months wiggle room for getting these machines to work, so it should be ok.

Stay tuned!

Shredder is operational

I finally got some retainer clips that fit the gearbox shaft (thank you McMaster Carr) so the shredder is working again!

Of course I promptly jammed the thing with some polypropylene. This jam was the worst yet. I pulled the mesh out of the bottom, chiseled at the jumbled up plastic, tried to pull it out by installing a screw and yanking it with a vice grip. Nothing.

So I decided to go with the nuclear option: partially disassembling the shredder. I pulled the bolts out of the spacers on the cutting side. The plastic was bunched up between the blade and the spacers.

With the spacers freed I was able to knock #4 down to let the plastic out. Then I straightened them out again and replaced the bolt. Good as new, but what a pain the butt.

Best Plastic Surgeon in India - Plastic Surgery Mumbai

When we look good on the outside, we feel the same on the inside. Our personality depends upon a lot of factors. So it is not just our clothes or shoes, but also our skin and hair that play a very significant role in how presentable we look. As much money as we invest in our apparel and accessories, we should also be investing same energy, time and money in our hair and skin also. Don’t we all love the feeling of a good hair day and flawless glowing skin, which looks good even without any makeup?

But herein lays the problem. Despite using various cosmetic products, we all struggle with our skin and hair. Also, many people do not feel satisfied with certain facial features and body parts. Cosmetic and facial plastic surgery has been growing immensely in popularity because all the cosmetic and facial plastic procedures are increasingly becoming non- invasive & Risk Free. Over the years, the best facial plastic and cosmetic surgeons in the world have been working to make cosmetic procedures easier, more predictable and non- invasive. All over India, in some of the best hospitals and clinics, dedicated cosmetic and facial plastic departments and experts surgeons are present who perform cosmetic surgery on the patients. The need for better cosmetic treatments and maxillofacial facilities in India arises because India is one of the countries with highest number of maxillofacial trauma injuries annually. Maxillofacial surgery is a complicated group of surgeries performed to restore the function as well as the cosmetic aspects of the face. Maxillofacial trauma is one of the top reasons because of which maxillofacial surgery is performed in India. To a very large extent, there is an enigma associated with maxillofacial surgery in India. Maxillofacial surgery is a special branch of surgery which exclusively deals with defects and injuries of the face, jaws, head and neck. Only surgeons who undergo a strenuous fellowship can perform maxillofacial surgeries. The fellowship for maxillofacial surgery makes the doctor proficient in dealing with the intense nature of the injuries that take place due to maxillofacial trauma. Maxillofacial surgery requires much more than just the basic knowledge of the facial structure. A maxillofacial surgeon also needs to be an expert in providing the best cosmetic outcome after treatment of the maxillofacial injuries because most maxillofacial injuries cause severe distortion of the facial features.

At Plastic surgery Mumbai, you will get the best surgeon for all your cosmetic and facial plastic procedures. Plastic surgery Mumbai is an endeavor of Dr. Debraj Shome, who is a specialist facial plastic surgeon to provide information on best cosmetic and reconstructive procedures for all patients from India. Dr. Shome himself is a world renowned facial plastic surgeon who has performed thousands of cosmetic surgeries in his career. He also has co- founded The Esthetic Clinics in Mumbai and Hyderabad, India where all types of facial plastic and cosmetic procedure are performed by the best surgeons. If you are looking for the best hospital or clinic for your cosmetic surgery do not look any further. Almost all types of facial plastic and cosmetic surgeries are performed at The Esthetic Clinics by the best surgeon in India. Dr. Shome is a consultant to some of the best hospitals in Mumbai like the Breach Candy hospital, Apollo Spectra hospital, Saifee hospital, Raheja Fortis hospital and Nanavati hospital. He is one of the few top doctors of India who has multiple fellowships and a super specialty in oculoplastic surgery, facial plastic surgery, head &neck surgery and maxillofacial surgery.

At Plastic Surgery Mumbai there is a diverse portfolio consisting of variety of procedures and expert surgeons who perform such surgeries. Dr. Shome is amongst the top surgeons of India and with Dr. Rinky Kapoor, he has co- founded The Esthetic Clinics. At The Esthetic Clinics almost all types of cosmetic procedures are performed.

Plastic Surgery Mumbai provides an array of cosmetic & aesthetic procedures depending upon your requirements.

It has got the best doctors on board the panel and two of the top doctors of India, Dr. Shome and Dr. Rinky personally take care of every case. If you have visited several doctors in the past for getting treatment of skin, face and hair but to no avail, you must come visit the top doctors of India who are at Plastic Surgery Mumbai. Plastic surgery Mumbai provides reconstructive, oculoplastic, cosmetic and various other non surgical procedures in India. They have the best equipment in India and they welcome patients to Mumbai from the rest of India who are looking for the perfect solution to their problems. Some of the best doctors of India together work on each patient’s needs at plastic surgery Mumbai. All these doctors are super specialists and have years of experience in their specialty.

If you are confused between choosing a hospital in India and The Esthetic Clinics then you must understand the basic difference between the operation modalities of both. Most hospitals in India work on corporate policy which aims at making money rather than providing complete treatment. At The Esthetic Clinics in Mumbai, the best surgeons are constantly working to ensure that no patient is stressed with the burden of unnecessary treatment. At The Esthetic Clinics, each and every patient case is considered to be unique and is dealt with accordingly.

The Tiger Who Came To Tea & story log stones

This is from my toddler’s favourite story books. However, instead of story stones, I used wooden logs, had story illustrations printed, and stuck them on the logs using mod podge glue.

For the game, I laid out a lot of food photos on the table. She picked up the food as I narrated the story. We also talked about all the food types that tigers ate. In the end, we played ‘match the tea cup’ game, which she enjoyed immensely.

Enjoy the journey xx

Twins Episode 17

Mike looked around the house, it was as he left it but felt so different. It was not what he was looking forward to. Things had changed and he felt his heart ache. The detective told him they would hold Isabel for a while till they find a clue to where Jake was. Esther had moved in to his house in fear of Jake going on to her.

“i know it`s hard for you Mike, just consider bailing your wife out. You and the baby both need her and you will not stay away from each other for good. You two have to come to some terms. You need to talk about what happened” came Esther’s voice bringing Mike back to the moment he sighed looking at her sitting on a garden chair.

“I know, I am not just sure how to start all this. I need to go and have her out today.” He shrugged

“Any news from your brother? It`s been over 24 hours. Has he tried to contact you at all?” she asked him.

“No he has not. He must be working on something, knowing Jake he will never give up that easily. Even though the cops say they are looking for him everywhere, am guessing he is close by and watching everything. But am not afraid of him aunty, actually am looking forward to see him” Mike frowned standing up.

He wore a black denim jeans and a stripped white and black t-shirt ending with a pair of black leather shoes. He was feeling rested and refreshed, the previous day was different. The time he walked into his house he was feeling exhausted. He tried to play around the with the baby but she looked at him like a stranger. She would look at his face and into his eyes and cry for Mwanida instead. It hurt Mike knowing his own child was able to tell them apart but his own wife wouldn’t. He had retired to bed early and got up with a new vibe, he told himself he had to get going.

“Will see you soon Aunty Esther, make sure no one goes anywhere out of this yard. The cops are here and sure you are all safe as long as you stay inside” he quickly told Esther as he walked to his car.

“He felt his heart race as he approached the police station his wife was being held.

“I will have her bailed out Detective, she will be home and if anything comes up I will inform you” he had explained to the detective upon meeting with him.

He stood at the counter waiting as Isabel signed the release documents. She was still in the clothes she wore from work the day before she was arrested. She had a light blue suit with a white sleeveless silk top inside, he watched her as they handed her her high heels.

“Thank you sir, “ He looked over to the detective as Isabel approached him. Mike ached for a moment to hold her close, he had longed to see her face over time, but she neither looked excited seeing him nor showed any kind of remorse, she walked past him and headed to the car outside without saying a word.

Isabel was filled with shame. Seeing her husband stand there to get her out of the police custody made her so ashamed she regretted her actions of not going to see him. However, had only one regret, not seeing him before and nothing else. She now felt what she was feeling for Mike was more of pity and not the love she had felt before.

She felt she cared so much about him, deep in her heart she was desiring to see his brother more. “Focus Isabel, he is not Jake and this is your husband, you love him and you have to forget Jake” she scolded herself inside as she sat in the front seat waiting for Mike who went round to get to his own seat.

“how are you Isabel?” he finally asked sighing deeply sitting in the driver`s seat.

“am okey, thank you for getting me out Mike, that place is a mess” she sighed avoiding his gaze. It was like the two of them where strangers. The gap between them had surely grown and they both could sense it.

“well, I have been to the worst and I do not wish it on anyone. The more reason why I had to talk to the detective because I want to believe you are innocent and you have a good reason for not doing what you were supposed to do. I know you have always been a good person.” Mike spoke his eyes on her even when she could not look into his eyes. “Well I guess we need to get you home” he sighed starting the ignition and drive on without any further comments.

They remained silent till the time they got home. He sat in the vehicle watching as she stepped down and went to the front. Mike shook his head. It was like she had just met her, he could not recognize the woman he knew before.

He sat in the car lost in thoughts for another hour. He watched as the outside lights went on. It was now dark outside but he felt like he was still in prison. The fear of what she was going to tell him when he faced her again gripping his throat he felt powerless. He drove out instead of getting outside house. He felt he needed to drive out and have some air, against the warning of the detective for him to stay put. He parked a few yards away from his house and turned off the car engine.

“why did you have to do this to me brother, I was happy, my wife was always there for me and now she will not look into my eyes. “ he whispered sadly.

As though to answer his question, Mike heard a soft knock from the window. He turned to see who it was and was not shocked to see his brother smiling at him.

“ hello brother!”

Jake smiled and to his surprise, Mike did not move an inch, it was like he knew his brother would be there and for the first time in his life he was not scared of what he would do to him.

“ I thought you will never come out of your guarded house especially in the night, I bet you are brave after all” Jake teased.

“yeah, I am not scared of you Jake, at least not any more. You have destroyed my life in ways I cannot explain.

“what, is this a trap? You want to get me caught huh? Why are you so calm brother?” Jake shook his head standing a step away from the window.

“you know what Jake, I realized Prison is not enough for you. You would go there and probably spend the rest of your life in there. But you know what? that is not enough, cause the only thing you will lose is your freedom.” Mike smiled looked out at him now.

“I want you to experience the most painful thing in your life, I want you to live out here, lose all that you hold dear as you watch and later on you will beg God to get you. You will try to get to the road so that they bash you dead. But you know what, God will not let you do that, he will let you live through the most painful moments. Just then will you realise that you cannot just get and control other people`s lives. You are not God my brother. No you are not” Mike frowned casually.

“I know partly why Isabel never came to see me. “he looked at him again. Jake looked up quickly not knowing what his brother meant.

“what ?, I know she loves me. That’s why you fool, am always better at things than you are. I know how to make her happy and she could not stand having a boring husband back” Jake added proudly. He nodded his head as he spoke.

“not that mostly.” Mike responded reluctantly.

“ Isabel is pregnant, she is carrying your child, I might not know why she never came to see me but that is definitely part of it. She is in a dilemma as to whether to tell me about her pregnancy and ask me to raise her child, or she will leave me and live in this fantasy you have created for her and decide to stick with a fugitive” Mike smiled knowing he had nailed him. He was sure Jake did not know about that fact. Mwanida had told him she found a pregnancy test which Isabel was trying to hide in the bathroom.

“Did Isa tell you about that?” Jake asked surprised.

“no, she didn’t, as a matter of fact I have not talked to her yet and I have not told anyone else. “ he shrugged.

“well so what’s your plan brother?” Jake asked concerned now at his brother`s calmness and patience.

“ mmmmmhmhmh, I do not play harsh and rough like you Jake, soon you will know what am up to. If I were you I would choose the cops than being free” Mike added and started the car engine leaving Jake planted in one place shocked.

He had expected an outburst from his brother, or better still him to call the cops on him but the scene he just experienced left him puzzled and somehow frightened. He had never seen him that way and the kind of coldness around him was so tense.

Mike drove back home and one of the cops ran to him.

“Sir we were worried your brother might hurt you out there, will you tell us where you go next time so that we avoid anything bad from happening” the officer spoke to him.

“Noted officer, do not worry I was just outside the gate. Am going to rest now” he smiled at him and played with his car keys as he walked to the house.

“Any news or call from Jake?” he asked him

Mike looked back at him and smiles “nope, nothing sir.” He shook his head

“we will catch him soon do not worry” the officer indicated and Mike just shrugged going ahead.

E Edith Franklin Wyatt

Sympathy by Edith Franklin Wyatt

‘Sympathy’ by Edith Franklin Wyatt is a thirty-seven line poem which does not follow one particular rhyme scheme from beginning to end. The repetition of rhyme spans a variety of patterns and sounds. The first section of the poem includes a great number of words ending with the sounds, “-ower” and “-own,” while the second gives the reader “-ay,” “-ee” and “-ain.” The repetition does imbue the poem with a sing-song-like pattern which helps the poem read like a fable or fairytale.

One should also note the purposeful line indentations which are utilized in every other line. This makes the poem more interesting to look at on the page, as well as forcing the reader to read in a particular way. One’s eyes are constantly flashing back and forth across the lines.

Sympathy by Edith Franklin Wyatt

‘Sympathy’ by Edith Franklin Wyatt describes a speaker’s expanding, but a romanticized view of the world and how a new ability to see has brought her closer to others.

In the first lines, the poet describes how her narrator lives her life. She goes into detail about how alone she feels in her world, and how she sees no possible change in her future. Before long a change miraculously does occur and her outlook on her future expands. She can suddenly see into the distance in a way she never could before. She sees homes, hills, mountains, and dense forests. The speaker is able to gain a greater understanding of how the rest of the world lives, while she still resides alone.

In the final lines, she states that this new sight has empowered her with a new closeness. She feels ownership over the lands, sea, and by the last two lines, the whole world.

Analysis of Sympathy

Lines 1-10

As one within a moated tower,

    I lived my life alone;

And dreamed not other granges’ dower,

    Nor ways unlike mine own.

I thought I loved. But all alone

    As one within a moated tower

I lived. Nor truly knew

    One other mortal fortune’s hour.

As one within a moated tower,

    One fate alone I knew.

The poet begins ‘Sympathy’ with a section of lines that speak to the way her narrator lives her life. She goes into detail about how alone she feels in her world, and how she sees no possible change in her future.

The first lines describe the world the speaker lives in as being contained within a “moated tower.” She is separated from the rest of humanity and put behind barriers to keep her in, and others out. The speaker spends all of her days in this place completely alone. It is clear from these first lines that it is the poet’s goal to provoke a feeling of sympathy for the speaker. One should sympathize with her plight and pity the life she lives.

In the next lines, she speaks on the sad fact that because she is completely confined to the tower she does not have any other life to dream about. She does not think of what other places could give her, or of ways that are “unlike [her] own.” At one point, she says that she thought she “loved” but she has no way of knowing if this is really the case.

The next lines reiterate what was stated previously, by repeating that she is living all alone in a moated tower. These repeating phrases help the poem retain its song-like rhythm. She adds that she can never “truly” know what another person’s life is like, or what it would be like for her to live an hour outside of her confines.

Lines 11-17

Who hears afar the break of day

    Before the silvered air

Reveals her hooded presence gray,

    And she, herself, is there?

I know not how, but now I see

    The road, the plain, the pluming tree,

The carter on the wain.

In the second set of lines, the speaker experiences an important change in her life and outlook on her future. She is awake early in the morning and manages to hear the rising of the sun, “the break of day,” before the sun appears in the sky. The narrator has become so attuned to the world she is living in that she is able to predict precisely when things are going to happen.

The speaker knows what occurs outside her home without seeing it first, and feels the sun rising before “her hooded presence” is revealed. This leads her down a path of predictions and imaginations.

In the next lines, she states that she is now able to see more than she ever did before. It is like her vision miraculously cleared and she can see and understand what is happening outside of her tower. From her home, she can see the “road, the plain, the pluming tree” as well as “The  carter on the wain.” She sees the fields in the distance and the “carter” who is riding in the “wain,” or cart. For the first time, she sees and gains some understanding of someone else’s life.

Lines 18-25

    On my horizon wakes a star.

The distant hillsides wrinkled far

    Fold many hearts’ domain.

On one the fire-worn forests sweep,

    Above a purple mountain-keep

And soar to domes of snow.

    One heart has swarded fountains deep

Where water-lilies blow:

In the next set of lines of ‘Sympathy’, the speaker describes seeing a waking star on her horizon. This is representative of the newfound sight she has gained. It is also used as a way of showing off her new abilities, she can see so far into the distance that “hillsides wrinkled far” are clear to her and she can see those who live within them. They hold within them, “many hearts’ domain.”

The next lines go through the different types of hills she can see, and the variety of lives they hold. There are those which contain “fire-worn forests” as well as a “purple mountain-keep.” The hills rise high into mountains and are capped with “domes of snow.”

She sees these new places in the distances as representing the hearts of different people living among them. There are grass-covered, or “swarded,” portions of water in which “water-lilies blow.”

Lines 26-33

    And one, a cheerful house and yard,

With curtains at the pane,

    Board-walks down lawns all clover-starred,

And full-fold fields of grain.

    As one within a moated tower

I lived my life alone;

    And dreamed not other granges’ dower

Nor ways unlike mine own.

She continues her description into the next lines when she describes in greater detail the homes of the people in the distances. The speaker is able to see and compare her life to the lives of those who do not live in moated towers. There is a “cheerful house” which has a yard and curtains. There are also “lawns” covered in clover over which boards have been laid so one might pass over the ground.

 The speaker concludes her in-depth description with the “fields of grain” that provide the houses their sustenance and income. It is important to note that her depictions of this other way of living are very much romanticized. She cannot see the troubles that surely visit the lives of those living in the hills.

Lines 34-37

    But now the salt-chased seas uncurled

And mountains trooped with pine

    Are mine. I look on all the world

And all the world is mine.

In the final lines of ‘Sympathy’, the speaker pulls back to take in a larger view of the new lands she is seeing.

She understands that now she has this new ability to see beyond her own life, that in a way the “salt-chased seas” which are “uncurl[ing]” are hers. The speaker feels new ownership over the pine-covered mountains. She is newly empowered and no longer the timid person she appeared to be in the first lines. She lays claim over “all the world.”

SAT Scores At The Top 50 Undergraduate Business Programs

SAT Ask college admission officiers, what’s the single biggest application killer and most will tell you it’s a low overall high school grade point average followed by lagging grades in college prep courses. A lot SAT or ACT score comes in third as the quickest way to get rejected from a selective school.

That’s according to a Kaplan Prep survey of 350 admission officers at the top 500 universities. The survey results show that 37% of the admissions officials identify low high school GPAs as No. 1, 28% checked off low grades in college prep classes, while 18% put their finger on low SAT or ACT scores.

Truth is, it’s often a combination of factors that get prospective students rejected from target schools. At the highly selective universities, SAT scores loom large because they are  the single best comparative element of an application. GPAs are subject to grade inflation and are less easily compared from school to school.

In general, the relative importance of test scores depends on which college to which you are applying whether you seeking scholarship money.  Many schools, including those that deemphasize test scores, still use them to award merit aid scholarships. In any case, all the top business schools, which have extremely competitive admissions, care a lot about scores.

So what can you tell by looking at average SAT scores at the top 50 undergraduate programs in business? They are going up, in many cases, way up, making it ever more competitive to get into a top ranked business school. At the Wharton School, the No. 1 program, average SATs are up 22 points to 1466 in the past three years alone (we’re using the older scoring method in which a 1600 is a perfect score not the current 2400). That’s considerably above the 1050 average for the test.

But many other schools have been reporting far more substantial increases in the average, owing to the explosion in the popularity of the business major. Southern Methodist University’s Cox School and Case Western University’s Weatherhead School have both increased their SAT averages for incoming classes by more than 100 points each in the past three years. At SMU, average SATs ballooned to 1414 in 2013, up 134 points from 2011, while at Case Western, the average rose to 1369, up 109 points in the past three years.

In most cases, the increases were significant but not nearly as daunting. Northeastern University had a 55-point increase in average SAT to 1384 last year, while Michigan State University reported a 63-point jump to 1190 (see our tables on the following pages for the latest average SAT scores plus three year historical trends).

SATs also are a great proxy for the health of a given school. Obviously, programs that are increasing their average SAT scores are generally increasing the quality of their student populations. They are raising the bar for entry and increasing the likelihood that the prestige and reputation of the school will continue to rise. Schools that are finding it harder to get the best candidates are are the other side of this equation.

Our analysis of SAT averages at the top 50 business schools shows decreases at Syracuse University (a 41-point decline in three years), Penn State (a 17-point fall), New York University (a 13-point drop), and the University of Michigan (which had a slight nine-point decline in the past three years).

The undergraduate business program with the highest average SAT? It’s Washington University’s Olin School of Business where the average was 1480. The lowest for a top 50-ranked business program? It’s 1175 at Texas Christian University’s Neeley School. Generally, though, the highest ranked schools predictably have the highest average scores.

Wachovia’s Drug Habit

The Observer reports on how Wachovia – one of the United State’s largest banks before it was purchased by Wells Fargo in 2008 – laundered billions of dollars for Mexican drug cartels between 2004 and 2006, if not longer. This is not particularly surprising – Bloomberg reported on Wachovia’s money laundering about a year ago, and critics have long pointed to the central role of banks in the international black market. But it is grotesque, in ways obvious enough that I probably don’t need to elucidate them.

Anyway, what’s really interesting to me here is the way drug money helped save the banking industry from collapsing during the financial meltdown. This quote from the Observer article jumped out at me:

At the height of the 2008 banking crisis, Antonio Maria Costa, then head of the United Nations office on drugs and crime, said he had evidence to suggest the proceeds from drugs and crime were “the only liquid investment capital” available to banks on the brink of collapse. “Inter-bank loans were funded by money that originated from the drugs trade” he said. “There were signs that some banks were rescued that way.”

So drug money kept at least some of the banks afloat during the crash. At the same time, of course, taxpayers did their part. Indeed, Wachovia was purchasaed by Wells Fargo around the same time that it received $25 billion in taxpayer dollars. Wells Fargo wasn’t accused of laundering, and apparently cooperated with federal investigators, but nobody associated with Wachovia went to jail for the laundering and Wells Fargo ended up paying only tiny damages for the illegal activity of its acquisition – just $169 million.

So there you go. Taxpayers and drug cartels, working together to keep the banks afloat. Glad to see everything is working out as planned.

2 thoughts on “Wachovia’s Drug Habit

  1. Appalling and fascinating at the same time. Very interesting stuff – I’d love to read a longer and more in-depth piece along the same lines.

Drugstores and the Color Line: Remembering Pharmacies as Sites of the Civil Rights Movement

Editor’s Note: This is the first in a series of Points posts during February in honor of Black History Month. Today’s article comes from managing editor Greg Bond, the Assistant Director of the American Institute of the History of Pharmacy and the Senior Editor of History of Pharmacy and Pharmaceuticals.

Oklahoma City Katz Drug Store Sit-in
Seven-year-old Ayanna Najuma looks at the camera during a 1958 NAACP Youth Council sit-in at the segregated lunch counter of Katz Drug Store in Oklahoma City. Katz integrated its counter after two days of protests. Image courtesy of the Melton Collection at the Oklahoma Historical Society.

On August 6, 1894, Abraham D. Cecil, an African American painter and interior decorator from Bloomington, Illinois, visited the drugstore of Hamer H. Green and ordered a glass of cherry phosphate soda. Green, the former President of the Illinois State Board of Pharmacy, drew the color line and refused to serve his African American customer.

Cecil promptly sued Green for violating his civil rights. In a decision eventually upheld by the Illinois Supreme Court, however, state courts ruled that a drugstore soda fountain was “private… [and] exclusive” and not a “public accommodation.” The courts thus affirmed the defendant’s right to refuse service to African Americans (Cecil v. Green, 69 Ill. App. 61l; Cecil v. Green, 161 Ill. 265).

Abraham Cecil was not alone. Beginning in the late nineteenth century, drugstores and pharmacies were frequently sites of civil rights activism as African Americans protested the color line and fought against unequal treatment. Particularly as drugstore soda fountains and lunch counters became common throughout the country, African Americans repeatedly turned to the courts or engaged in direct actions like sit-ins, pickets, and boycotts to challenge Jim Crow in the drugstore.

Although scholars have rightly examined in detail the pivotal role of the broader sit-in movement and of protests at department stores, the importance of drugstores and pharmacies as sites of civil rights protest and activism has been much less studied. Like department stores, pharmacies peddled a wide array of commercial goods and also served the public at their ubiquitous soda fountains and lunch counters. Unlike department stores, though, drugstores also filled prescriptions, sold medicines, and provided important public health information.

Most drugstores only drew the color line at their lunch counters or soda fountains and happily sold drugs, medicines, and other products to African Americans. But many intriguing historical questions remain unanswered. Did drugstores’ public health role inform protests against discriminatory treatment? Did pharmacy ethics or pharmacy professional organizations confront the color line? Did sit-in campaigns against drugstores differ from similar actions against department stores or other businesses? Were there similarities and differences between protests against community pharmacies, local chain drugstores, and regional chain drugstores?

This short post will not be able to provide definitive answers, but it illustrates that the long, rich, and vital history of civil rights activism in drugstores deserves further study.

In response to the final resolution of Abraham Cecil’s court case in 1896, the pharmaceutical trade press was broadly supportive of the drugstore color line. The Western Druggist, for example, derided Cecil as “a particularly odious son of Africa” and praised the decision of the Illinois Supreme Court for affirming “the right of every druggist to sell soda water with due discrimination as to race, color, or previous condition of servitude.” The journal concluded that “Mr. H. H. Green of Bloomington is entitled to thanks of the drug trade” for establishing the precedent. (Western Druggist May 1896).

The American Druggist, meanwhile, decided that the decision was “at heart in accordance with the popular idea of justice” and editorialized that a druggist “follows a natural law in refusing to… sell… to negroes” (American Druggist June 25, 1896).

Segregated drugstore soda fountains and lunch counters became increasingly commonplace around the country in the twentieth century. One June 8, 1921, Smallwood Goss and James Woodson, two young African American men, visited the busy soda fountain of the Savage Pharmacy in Spokane, Washington, but owner Walter E. Savage refused them service.

Spokane Chronicle 1922 Article
Spokane Chronicle article (Nov. 15, 1922) about the Goss v. Savage lawsuit.

Goss and Woodson alleged that Savage subjected them to “ridicule and great humiliation” in front of a large crowd of customers, and they sued him for $2,500 apiece in damages for violating their civil rights. The Washington state Supreme Court, however, ruled in favor of the defendant on the familiar grounds that a drugstore was a “private business” and not a “public place” as described in state civil rights law (Spokane Chronicle July 1, 1921, and Nov. 15, 1922).

By the late 1940s, African American activists had learned that they were unlikely to receive favorable rulings in most courts, and they began adopting a different strategy. The Katz Drug Store chain in Des Moines, Iowa, for example, had long maintained a strict color line at its lunch counters despite repeated attempts by local African Americans to desegregate the stores. Noah Lawrence explains in his fascinating 2008 article, “Since it is my right, I would like to have it: Edna Griffin and the Katz Drug Store Desegregation Movement,” (from which this summary is drawn) that between 1931 and 1947, Katz fended off 3 separate criminal prosecutions and 14 different civil lawsuits brought by African Americans seeking to force desegregation.

On July 7, 1948, 39-year old Edna Griffin, an African American graduate student at Drake University, accompanied two friends to the Katz lunch counter to order ice cream. After the manager refused to serve the three African Americans, Griffin set in motion an 18-month campaign to raise awareness about ongoing discrimination and to actively confront Katz’s color line with a combination of criminal lawsuits, civil lawsuits, and, as importantly, direct action in the form of pickets, boycotts, and sit-ins.

Supported by the local NAACP, Griffin’s protesters distributed brochures explaining that:

Edna Griffin Picketing

A lawsuit is pending against Katz Drugstore, but we want you to know why Jim Crow undermines the rights of every citizen, not just the victims. The “master race” idea poisons the mind with hate, distrust, and suspicion. This turns the minds of the people from high prices, low wages, and no housing to violence against one another. It happened in Germany, and it can happen here” (Lawrence, p. 320).

At the same time, picketers in front of the store carried signs with slogans like “Counter Service for Whites Only / This is Hitler’s Old Baloney / Don’t Buy at Katz.” After more than a year of dogged protests, Katz finally relented and dropped its color line on December 2, 1949, and began serving all customers at its lunch counters (Lawrence, p. 320).

Over the next fifteen years, the sit-in movement slowly moved south, and African Americans in more cities began to challenge drugstore color lines. In May 1954, the Baltimore chapter of the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) approached the management of Read’s Drug Stores, which operated 39 branches in the city, about desegregating the company’s lunch counters and soda fountains.

After negotiations stalled and a letter-writing campaign was unsuccessful, CORE activists and students from Morgan State, a local all-Black college, initiated a sit-in campaign at several Read’s stores on January 6, 1955. After two weeks of sit-ins and protests, the chain dropped its color line and announced it would “serve all customers throughout our entire stores… effective immediately” (Baltimore Afro-American Jan. 22, 1955).

Such targeted civil rights actions spread around the country as African Americans personally and directly challenged the discriminatory policies of drugstores and pharmacies. In the summer of 1958, members of the Wichita chapter of the NAACP Youth Council set their sights on the color line at the lunch counter of the Dockum Drug Store in downtown Wichita.

Starting on July 19, high school and college students quietly occupied lunch-counter stools and asked to be served two days each week. On at least one occasion, white counter-protesters verbally harassed and spit at the demonstrators, but the Youth Council members persevered. On August 10, the manager of Dockum capitulated and changed his policy, saying simply: “Serve them. I’m losing too much money” (Gretchen Cassel Eick, Dissent in Wichita, chapter 1).

Over the next few years, sit-in campaigns succeeded quickly against pharmacies in places like Oklahoma City and Arlington, Virginia. As the movement spread to the more intransigent Deep South, however, drugstore owners successfully resisted the protests, and demonstrators often encountered threats, harassment, and arrest.

In March 1960, for instance, college students Simon Bouie and Talmadge Neal were arrested for leading a sit-in protest at an Eckerd Drug Store in Columbia, South Carolina (follow the link to see tv news coverage of the arrests). In 1962, police in Orlando, Florida, arrested 11 African American teenagers for demanding service at Stroud’s Rexall Pharmacy, and, in 1963, 17 members of the local NAACP Youth Chapter went to jail for sitting in at Liggett’s Drug Store in Warner Robbins, Georgia.

One of the longest running battles occurred in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. High school students first conducted sit-ins at the segregated lunch counter of the Colonial Drug Co. in February 1960, but owner John Carswell adamantly refused to desegregate for the next four years.

After frequent protests, pickets, and arrests, Carswell took out a full-page ad in a local newspaper, declaring “we will not be intimidated or coerced by certain alphabetical organizations or committees under the disguise of ‘Betterment of Certain Groups or Races.’” In turn, African American activists escalated their protests in 1964 by blocking the entrance to Colonial Drug. Carswell did not drop his color line until later that year, and only because the Civil Rights Act outlawed discrimination in public accommodations.

During the two decades before the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, national pharmacy professional associations and state pharmacy organizations, alike, appear to have paid scant attention to the issue of Jim Crow in drugstores. Although drugstore sit-ins and protests received increasing media coverage and public notice—especially in the early 1960s—leaders of the pharmacy profession seem to have largely overlooked the contentious issue and provided little guidance or commentary on the subject.

Not all observers were so quiet. In a blistering March 1960 editorial, The Crisis, the official journal of the NAACP, reminded “those Americans who genuinely believe in democracy” about the importance of the sit-in movement:

Negro students in the South are justifiably in revolt against lunch-counter jim crow. To deny an American citizen access to a public lunch counter is senseless and demeaning… [T]he Negro knows very well the meaning of jim crow. For him it is ever present, an obscene daily reality… He cannot straw-sip a Coca-Cola at a soda bar. He cannot drink a Bromo-Seltzer for his headache in a drug store… These are galling grievances. He is set apart… [and] he is not allowed to live or work or play as others.

The Crisis, March 1960

Ally Brooke knows that there's nothing better than someone who loves you just the way you are.

On her new collaboration with German producer Topic, "Perfect," the Texas-bred singer touts the power of acceptance. It's a bright mid-tempo pop anthem about being with someone who makes you feel comfortable in the skin you're in.

"You're not tryin' to change me / Even though I'm crazy / When it's all too much then you take me home / Wearing no makeup, think I'm beautiful / And when I mess up you let me be me," Brooke coos on the first verse, her smooth vocal cushioned by a twinkly guitar riff.

"There's always going to be somebody smarter / Someone prettier who works a little harder... / And every time I feel like I ain't really worth it / Then you say I'm perfect," she continues on the chorus, before the song bursts into a blissful, stuttering electronic breakdown

Listen to the empowering track, below:

The collaboration marks the Fifth Harmony singer's second foray into solo music. In 2016, Brooke teamed up with EDM duo Lost Kings and rapper A$AP Ferg on a swagger-filled club track called "Look at Us Now."

"Perfect" is released on January 26 via Ultra Records.

Nearly eight months after former Live! co-host Michael Strahan announced he was leaving the morning talk show to join Good Morning Americacurrent host Kelly Ripa says she still has basically no idea who will replace him.

On last night's (November 30) Watch What Happens LiveRipa told Andy Cohen that Live!'s production didn't set a hard and fast deadline for a replacement, and that the show has kept timelines loose to find "the right person." In hindsight, though, she admits keeping things casual has come at a certain cost.

"What we didn't anticipate was that we would have such an outpouring of interest, so our list got very long very quickly," she said. "We've been trying to keep it as narrow as possible, but then people pop up."

"I feel really lucky and really embarrassed at our good fortune," she added.

Ripa wasn't always so optimistic about Strahan's departure, though. Immediately after news broke in April that he was leaving — a movement Ripa discovered on the news — Ripa proceeded to skip several tapings of the show. Days later, upon her return, she chided ABC for its lack of transparency. And, in a May People interview, she expanded on her feelings of betrayal.

"…What nobody considered is there’s a whole other group of people that it really impacts, because we have to now find another great person,” she said. “In that moment there were people looking at me, saying, ‘Tell us this is going to be okay. Are we going to be okay?'"

Alfred Hitchcock Presents: My Dear Watson (1989)

Enjoy My Dear Watson – a 1989 episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents!

Friends, back on the evening of September 29th of 1985 – the place to be on that Sunday was planted firmly in front of the television set watching NBC – as that is when the first episode of Amazing Stories was debuting as well as The New Alfred Hitchcock Presents premiere episode. The latter actually had a made-for-television film consisting of four remakes of classic Alfred Hitchcock Presents episodes – which aired on NBC the night of May 5th of ’85 and proved quite popular. While that popularity led to a series being given the green light – it just didn’t manage to grab the audience numbers that NBC was looking for – not even with Amazing Stories as it’s lead in. The New Alfred Hitchcock Presents lasted for a single season but the draw of a good anthology show is hard to resist – that is probably why the USA Network picked up the series and produced it for another three season. All manner of genres were covered by the updated television series – drama, mystery, crime, and horror were tackled on the show – always with an intro and outro by Alfred Hitchcock himself, colorized segments taken from original episodes.

Eventually The New Alfred Hitchcock Presents dropped the new from its title and while many of the episodes for the 80’s series were remakes from both the original series as well as The Alfred Hitchcock Hour – there were originals stories too. Such as My Dear Watson which originally aired on April 22nd of 1989 and stars Brian Bedford as Sherlock Homes, with Patrick Monckton as Dr. Watson and John Colicos as Inspector Lestrade. Suprisingly enough Brian Bedford is connected with an earlier post I made today – the Louis Prima record tie-in for Walt Disney’s Robin Hood – as Bedford was the voice of Robin Hood in the 1973 animated feature.

“Robin Hood today and in 16 years I shall be Sherlock Holmes.”

The story for My Dear Watson concerns the reappearance of Sherlock Holmes after his assumed death along with Moriarty at Reichenbach Falls. Dr. Watson having just learned of his dear friend returning to 223 Baker Street rushes to meet him – where we learn a rather interesting if disturbing detail since Holmes has been away – the continued embarrassment heaped upon Inspector Lestrade has pushed the poor man into a sanitarium. Thankfully he has had none other than Dr. Watson to assist him in his recovery and it is in the nick of time too – as that very night after Lestrade joins the duo for a drink – Watson is kidnapped. Seeing this as a means of making amends and restoring his good name – Lestrade successfully convinces Sherlock Holmes to let him join him in an attempt to rescue Dr. Watson!

In closing I wanted to present some fun facts for you concerning My Dear Watson. One is that John Colicos while perhaps best known for his role as the villainous Count Baltar in the Battlestar Galacita series or as Dahar Master Kor in the Star Trek universe was featured in an earlier Alfred Hitchcock Presents episode entitled Deathmate. The second is the episode was written by Susan Woollen – who not only appeared in both B.J. and the Bear and The Misadventures of Sheriff Lobo but wrote for such shows as The Incredible Hulk, The Master, and even The Equalizer.

THE FREEZE will strike this December

Writer Dan Wickline (30 Days of Night, SHADOWHAWK) and artist Phillip Sevy (Tomb Raider, THE TITHE) team up for THE FREEZE, an all-new science fiction series coming this December from Image/Top Cow.

The entire human population is frozen by a mysterious global event…all except Ray, and only he has the power to unfreeze them. Now—with the fate of the world in his hands—he must figure out what is going on, how to set things right again, and answer the question: does everyone deserve to be saved?

“THE FREEZE is a post-apocalyptic survival story where the biggest danger is man’s true nature,” said Wickline. “We strip the world down to one decent person and then give him the power to rebuild society from scratch, not knowing if those he awakens will benefit the new world or indulge their darkest inclinations. It’s an intriguing concept to explore as a writer, and Phillip is just hitting it out of the park with his art.”

“Great sci-fi is about taking a cool concept and using it as a vehicle to examine the choices,
attitudes, thoughts, and prejudices we, as people, have,” added Sevy. “The premise and its execution in THE FREEZE is what drew me to the project and keeps me fueled as I work on it. I can’t wait for people to read it—Dan’s written a great book!”

THE FREEZE #1 (Diamond code: OCT180028) hits stores on Wednesday, December 5th. The final order cutoff deadline for comics retailers is Monday, November 12th.

Advance praise for THE FREEZE:

“Wow! It so rare to find someone who can do the end of the world in a way we have not seen. But Dan Wickline and Phillip Sevy have pulled it off with their wicked apocalyptic game of freeze tag that has me wanting more…a lot more! Wickline’s usual sense of character is on full display while Sevy’s art is crisp and cinematic and serves the conflict beautifully. This is fantastic, intriguing stuff!”
—Adam Marcus (director of Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday)

“It’s a great concept. I smell a movie adaptation.” —Dan Brereton (NOCTURNALS)

“THE FREEZE is kind of like… what if Left Behind was good, and less religious? A
fantastically fresh concept that begs to be explored, expertly rendered with art that’s surprisingly vibrant and dynamic for a book about people that literally can’t move.”

Sweet Valentine

This past weekend I decided to do a little baking for Valentine’s Day. I think I went a little overboard.

In the beginning there was a nice organized kitchen counter. Everything going to room temperate. It quickly became a mess.

Then I started with Sweetheart Buddies. Hmmm so good and real easy to make.

Sweetheart Buddies (credit for the recipe goes to The Recipe Critic) The link will take you to the recipe.

Rice Chex mixed with melted red candy melts

More Rice Chex mixed with melted white chocolate chips

All of it tossed together with confectionary sugar and laid out on a baking sheet to dry. Then I mixed in valentine M&M’s

Such a pretty picture!

Then I made Mexican Wedding Cookies

Mexican Wedding Cookies (credit for the recipe goes to Hanielas)

I made up the dough

Then I rolled them in Confectionary Sugar. I thought I took a picture of these cookies but I guess I didn’t. But you can see them in the background of the picture where my husband is rolling out cookie dough for sugar cookies.

Next I made Zinfandel cupcakes. I had some White Zinfandel in the fridge. I used what the recipe called for and then drank the rest! The cupcakes are so rich and yummy!

Zinfandel Cupcakes (credit goes to an article on People magazine’s site. It’s Trista Sutter’s recipe. )

First the batter

Then the finished product iced.

In between baking I worked on my puzzle

Next I made Pink Lemonade cupcakes

Pink Lemonade Cupcakes (except I couldn’t find Pink Lemonade so I used regular frozen Lemonade) (credit goes to Sweet Cheeks in the Kitchen)

I will say that these were our absolute favorite. Scrumptious! First I mixed up the batter

For some reason I didn’t get a finished picture 😦 So I borrowed Sweet Cheeks. I don’t think they’ll mind since I’m giving credit where credit is due.

SO GOOD! Next came the Sugar Cookies

Sugar Cookies (Credit goes to Alton Brown)

I use this recipe every year at Christmas. I love these cookies so much. First the dough. Then it’s refrigerated for two hours.

Then my husband rolls out the dough and cuts the shapes for me. Thank you honey!

Then I ice them. I am practicing using Royal Icing. It’s hard to get the correct thickness. I used a new frosting called Wedding Cake Buttercream. It’s the best I’ve made so far. Very light and fluffy.

They turned out so pretty

Of course I had to try all of it as I was making it. So between the wine and the sugar I was buzzing pretty good. I got all this done in one day.

I made up little goody bags and gave some to friends and family and we’re still munching on what’s left.

If you use these recipes enjoy!
