After many requests, I've finally got round to posting the recipe for these little delights!
Of all the things I've ever made, these Oreo Truffles have lavished me with the most praise! I pinched it from the lovely Celine, who made them for us at a BBQ last year!
Celine made them in school (what school-aged obesity issue?), and they went down a treat. We were all practically fighting for the remaining truffles (which disappeared rapidly, I tell ye).
I've only made these a couple of times and feedback includes: "I need these in my life", as well as "they're honestly the best things I have ever put in my mouth" *snigger*. This is definitely one for indulgence; if you are on a diet I would look away now. You won't be able to "just have one", I won't lie to you.
Here are the Ingredients in all their beautiful glory (made 15 fat truffles)
2 packets of Oreos
230g bar of Dairy Milk
250g Plain Soft Cheese
Another recipe that calls for furious bashing… place the Oreos into a bowl and, with a rolling pin, unleash the fury.
Mix in the soft cheese thoroughly, then its time to get messy. Roll them into truffle-sized balls and place on a flat tray (I used my chopping board), then put them in the fridge to set for an hour (or the freezer for half an hour).
Melt the Dairy Milk in a bowl over a pot of bubbling hot water. Try not to eat it, lest you earn yourself a trip to the A&E.
Dip the truffles into the (cooled) chocolate, coating them nicely and putting back on the chopping board (or whatever you're using). Put in the fridge to set for another hour or so.
The final step is to sit back and accept the praise 🙂
You can dust icing sugar over it, to make it look fancy and "truffle-ish", but I didn't bother.
Do try them, you won't be disappointed!
Enjoy 😀 x

There's a new, must-have app for my iPhone that's changed the way I use the device.
It's called Grokr, and I've been testing it for a few weeks now.
While some compared it to Google Now, a feature from Google for Android phones that anticipates what you might be searching for and delivers it automatically, Grokr is a bit different.
Grokr pegs itself as a personalized search and discovery app, which anticipates and recommends information. The app learns everything you like and prompts you with breaking news, trends, up-to-date traffic information, weather, sports scores, restaurant information, and pretty much anything else you would need.
When Google Now debuted earlier this year it took the virtual assistant world by storm. The new type of search was able to accurately predict what users wanted and tried to give it to us before we even asked. That's something Apple's Siri has trouble with.
Overall, I like Grokr and felt like it's a solid offering. As time goes on I hope the app adds even more useful features that will help me remember everything.
Grokr is free for iPhone and iPod touch.

You will be in the hospital for 3 to 7 days. You may have to stay longer if your ileostomy was an emergency operation.
You may be able to suck on ice chips on the same day as your surgery to ease your thirst. By the next day, you will probably be allowed to drink clear liquids. You will slowly add thicker fluids and then soft foods to your diet as your bowels begin to work again. You may be eating again 2 days after your surgery.
Always tell your provider what drugs you are taking, even drugs, supplements, or herbs you bought without a prescription.
Before your surgery, talk with your provider about the following things:
During the 2 weeks before your surgery:
The day before your surgery:
On the day of your surgery:
An ileostomy is used to move waste out of the body. This surgery is done when the colon or rectum is not working properly.
The word "ileostomy" comes from the words "ileum" and "stoma." Your ileum is the lowest part of your small intestine. "Stoma" means "opening." To make an ileostomy the surgeon makes an opening in your belly wall, brings the end of the ileum through the opening. The ileum is then attached to the skin.
Before you have surgery to create an ileostomy, you may have surgery to remove all of your colon and rectum, or just part of your small intestine.
These surgeries include:
An ileostomy may be used for a short or long time.
When your ileostomy is temporary, it most often means all of your large intestine was removed. However, you still have at least part of your rectum. If you have surgery on part of your large intestine, your health care provider may want the rest of your intestine to rest for a while. You will use the ileostomy while you recover from this surgery. When you do not need it anymore, you will have another surgery. This surgery will be done to reattach the ends of the small intestine. You will no longer need the ileostomy after this.
You will need to use it long-term if all of your large intestine and rectum have been removed.
To create the ileostomy, the surgeon makes a small surgical cut in the wall of your belly. Part of your small intestine that is farthest from your stomach is brought up and used to make an opening. This is called a stoma. When you look at your stoma, you are actually looking at the lining of your intestine. It looks a lot like the inside of your cheek.
Sometimes, an ileostomy is done as the first step in forming an ileal anal reservoir (called a J-pouch).
Most people who have an ileostomy are able to do most of the activities they were doing before their surgery. This includes most sports, travel, gardening, hiking, and other outdoor activities, and most types of work.
If you have a chronic condition, such as Crohn disease or ulcerative colitis, you may need ongoing medical treatment.
Talk with your provider about these possible risks and complications.
Risks of anesthesia and surgery in general are:
Risks for this surgery are:
Ileostomy is done when problems with your large intestine can only be treated with surgery.
There are many problems that may lead to the need for this surgery. Some are:
|Bland diet
|Colon and rectal cancer
|Colorectal polyps
|Crohn disease
|Crohn disease - discharge
|Ileostomy - caring for your stoma
|Ileostomy - changing your pouch
|Ileostomy - discharge
|Ileostomy - what to ask your doctor
|Ileostomy and your child
|Ileostomy and your diet
|Living with your ileostomy
|Low-fiber diet
|Total colectomy or proctocolectomy - discharge
|Total proctocolectomy and ileal-anal pouch
|Total proctocolectomy with ileostomy
|Types of ileostomy
|Ulcerative colitis
|Ulcerative colitis - discharge

I may have even mentioned my other phobia. Okay, so I have more than one.
Doesn't everybody?
In my defense, I have to tell you that I came by this phobia naturally. I inherited it. That's right, believe it or not, we can pass on these quirky unreasonable fears to our precious offspring.
The fear that plagued my mother—spiders, or some may refer to it as, arachnophobia—found its way into my own phobia bank. And darn it, in spite of my best attempt to save my daughter from this dark mark on her rational behavior capabilities, I failed.
Three women, three generations, who go into full-blown panic mode, at the sight of anything that has eight legs. Never mind that the eight-legged subject weighs in at less than a tenth of an ounce, that we could all take out said creature with our pinky toes. Ahh, but the mere thought of getting any part of our bodies, pinky toe included near even one of those eight legs causes serious damage to our psyches. (And, no, it doesn't matter if we are wearing steel-toed boots over said pinky toe, the serious damage is the same.) Did you get the serious part? Because I'm not joking.
Have you ever seen those old flicks where bad actors, wearing war paint, and imitating Indians do war dances? You know, where the feet start coming off the ground, the knees rise up to chin level. Well, when in a full-blown arachnophobia attack, we, do this dance. It's not quite like the bad actors war dance, but add a few Polka dance moves in there and you're close. We've even named it the Polka Eight-legged dance. It's a good name, too, because our feet move up and down so fast that to a witness, it may appear as if we have eight legs.
Oh, and the noise. It's horrific. Screams from the very center of our solar plexus spew out of our lips. I seriously believe this is some kind of instinctual prehistoric language meant to warn any arachnophobic person within a hundred miles, that a spider is on the prowl.
The only thing worse, or more embarrassing, than performing said dance in public, it is performing it when you are certain that the eight-legged creature has found its way inside your clothes. (You know where I'm going, don't you?)
Yep, we're talking a Naked Polka Eight-legged dance. The clothes have got to come off. And it doesn't matter where you're at, or who may be present.
My mother, God love her, performed the Naked Polka Eight-legged Dance for the entire neighborhood when a black eight-legged creature fell into her blouse while getting the laundry off the clothes line. Her performance was so . . . eye-catching, that there are men still talking about it, fifty years after the fact.
Now up until recently, I have been spared having to perform said 'naked" version of the dance with an audience. Oh, I came close once a few years ago. My daughter and I were walking to the car, when she stopped and said, "Oh, you have something in your hair. She reached out and then squealed, "OH, GAWD!"
She never said spider, she didn't have to, the scream and the dance had begun.
Me, I'm stood there frozen, yelling, "Get it! Get it! Get it! Get it!"
She continued to dance and then screamed, "Not me! Not me! Not me! Not me!"
Thankfully, after performing the dance myself, the spider is slung off my head by uncontrollable and violent head jerks, and the postman staring at us from the mail truck is spared from seeing the strip tease portion of the dance.
Of course, yesterday is another story.
I was returning home from doing a photo shoot. I had my camera bag, my purse, and some tomatoes I'd picked up at vegetable stand in my hands. I'm hurrying from my car inside when I felt it. No it's not a spider, it's even worse.
It was a spider web.
I had walked right into one and it was everywhere—on my face, on chest, on my arms. And I was certain inside my clothes!
I started to scream but then I looked up and my neighbor and a couple of his friends were standing in his driveway.
Gawd have mercy on them. Gawd have mercy on me. The scream locked itself in my throat. All I could think about was doing the dance and getting rid of my clothes. But I could still hear those dirty old men recounting the story of my poor mom . . . so I fought it. I fought it with it with everything inside of me.
Breath held, I bolted for my front door. Hands shaking I barely managed to turn the door knob. I made it inside, slammed the door shut. My $1000 camera, my purse, and the tomatoes were thrown to the floor.
The prehistoric scream emerged from my lips, and the dance commenced. The knees started rising, the clothes started coming off, and the tomatoes, underfoot were paste.
Oh, but even in my sheer state panic I was so damn proud of myself. Proud that I had not performed said dance in front of my neighbors.
And then I hear it. (You know where I'm going with this, don't you?) I hear laughter.
I look up and my eighteen-year-old son and his friend are standing in the living room, eyes wide with shock as they stare at me. Me, only wearing a pair of jeans and a bra, knees still moving, and a pile of smashed tomatoes underfoot.
My son, still laughing, says, "Hey, don't pay any attention to her, she just has this thing about spiders."
So there you have it—another embarrassing moment in the Craig house. What about you guys? Please . . . don't make me be the only one sharing embarrassing stories today.
Crime Scene Christie -- Who has probably damaged her son's friend for life.

I Want One of Those: Safer Bike Brake
Learning to use hand-activated brakes on bikes can be tricky and dangerous. Too much pressure to the front wheel brake can send the rider flying over the handlebars. A spring mounted at the connection of the brake cable and the hand lever ensures even pressure for non-spill stops. Kyle Betts '10, Benjamin Meigs '10, Adam Powers '09, and Jeff Spielberg '10 developed the device for ENGS 21: Introduction to Engineering. Their TA was Laura Weyl Th'09.

Hernando de Soto
De Soto, Hernando
Hernando De Soto (dĬsō´tō, Span. ĕrnän´dō dā sō´tō), c.1500–1542, Spanish explorer. After serving under Pedro Arias de Ávila in Central America and under Francisco Pizarro in Peru, the dashing young conquistador was made governor of Cuba by Emperor Charles V, with the right to conquer Florida (meaning the North American mainland). He led an expedition that left Spain in 1538 and landed on the Florida coast, probably near Tampa Bay, in 1539. That was the start of an adventure that took him and his band nearly halfway across the continent in search of gold, silver, and jewels, which they never found.
After wintering near Tallahassee they went N through Georgia and the Carolinas into Tennessee, then turned S into Alabama, where De Soto was wounded in a battle with Native Americans. He was so determined to continue his treasure hunt that he refused to inform his men that Spanish vessels were off the coast. In the spring of 1541 they again set forth and were probably the first Europeans to see and cross the Mississippi. A journey up the Arkansas River and into Oklahoma disclosed no treasures, and, discouraged, they turned back to the banks of the Mississippi. There De Soto died; he was buried in the river, so that the Native Americans, whom he had intimidated and ill-used, would not learn of his death.
His men went west again across the Red River into N Texas, then returned to the Mississippi and followed it to the sea. A remnant of the expedition made its way down the coast to arrive at Veracruz in 1543. The chief chronicle of the expedition is by a Portuguese called the Gentleman of Elvas.

Ford B-MAX (2012-2018)
Models Covered:
5dr MPV (Petrol - 1.4 / 1.0 EcoBoost 100 & 125PS [Diesel – 1.5 TDCi 75PS / 1.6 TDCi 90PS]
By Jonathan Crouch
* Introduction
Is there any point in a People Carrier if it's a really small one? It's a fair question that supermini-MPV models in the Nissan Note, Citroen C3 Picasso and Vauxhall Meriva segment have often struggled to answer. When Ford's B-MAX was launched in 2012, we at last got a credible response to that query, its unique design and unrivalled versatility offering more ways to use a car of just 4m in length than you might ever have thought possible.
* The History
The smallest sort of people carrier evolved in the 21st century's second decade. In the Noughties, we had so-called supermini-MPVs, cars like Nissan's Note, slotting in below compact Scenic and C-MAX-sized designs, but usually, they offered little more than a slightly pumped-up take on the usual small car theme. New brands entering this segment needed to try harder. So we saw Citroen re-define the amount of space this kind of car could provide with their rounded but squerical C3 Picasso, Skoda offer us more avant garde styling with their Roomster and Vauxhall deliver rear doors that open the opposite way out in their Meriva. Interesting though these various approaches were, none of them really advanced the small people carrying proposition very far. But here's a car that did; Ford's B-MAX.
Launched here in the Autumn of 2012, it scores on its doors, but in a very different way to any of its rivals. This was the first car of this kind to use sliding side doors and, more uniquely still, the first to do away completely with a central B-pillar so that with the front door open, there's an enormous 1.5m of cabin aperture width, stretching all the way from windscreen to rear hatch. A far more innovative design than the Blue Oval bought us with this car's direct predecessor, the Fusion. And there's equal brilliance beneath the bonnet, with the option of a three cylinder 1.0-litre EcoBoost petrol engine that provides a decent alternative to diesel. The idea was to attract the kind of buyer who wants the versatility of a larger C-MAX-style compact MPV but needs something easier to park and cheaper to run. The B-MAX sold steadily until it was discontinued in 2018.
* What To Look For
We came across plenty of satisfied B-MAX customers but there were also a number of rogue examples, with issues that buyers on the used market will need to look out for. we came across plenty of electrical issues. One customer found that his car needed to be used every other day, otherwise it wouldn't start due to battery drain. There were also lots of complaints about the auto gearbox, so be very careful when it comes to that. One owner said that this gearbox 'judders and rattles like a box of screws'. As usual, check that the service book is fully stamped up to date. Some ex-fleet models may have missed out on garage visits.
* On The Road
Ford models are generally great to drive and most of the reason why is found in one thing: chassis stiffness. Take that away and you neutralise one of the Blue Oval's strongest selling points. But isn't that exactly what's happened with this B-MAX? With no central B-pillar, you'd expect the whole structure to be flexing all over the place. You'd expect a driving disappointment. But, as you'll find out once on the move, you don't get it.
We suppose it's easy to be impressed when you start with such low expectations but this thing really does confound all your preconceptions. It's a people carrier for a start and worse, one with sliding doors, previously a sure-fire recipe for dynamic dullness in any car you care to name. Yet as soon as you get going, this Ford feels frisky, even fun: certainly feelsome in the way it responds to the way you want to drive. Of course it helps here that the basics are right. You sit quite high up, positioned far more commandingly than you would be in a Fiesta with everything you need perfectly placed around you. And at speed, all-round visibility's great.
And under the bonnet? Well there's nothing too impressive at the bottom end of the range, where the choices on offer remind you of the way Ford technology used to be. These include a labouring 90PS petrol 1.4 that props up the line-up and an auto-only 105PS petrol 1.6-litre variant that's mainly there for older or disabled buyers. Inevitably, the engines you'd really want are the pricey ones further up the range and if the price being asked enables you to afford one of them, then there's plenty to admire, most notably when it comes to consideration of the cleverest petrol powerplant on the planet, Ford's clever 1.0-litre EcoBoost unit, complete with its distinctive three cylinder thrum and offered to B-MAX buyers with either 100 or 120PS.
Alternatively, there's the 75PS 1.5-litre diesel developed for use across all of Ford's small car offerings, frugal and clean but somewhat slow, rest to sixty occupying nearly 17s. A better combination of virtues is offered by the 95PS 1.6-litre TDCi unit, an engine that gets this car to sixty in 13.9s on the way to 108mph and offers a bit more all-round performance punch.
* Overall
It's a tad ironic given the name that Ford's B-MAX is missing very little – apart from its B-pillar. Were it not for that, this would have been a smart, carefully thought out but generally unremarkable addition to a supermini-MPV segment the Blue Oval had previously never properly addressed. As it was, this one stroke of design genius set this model apart and established it as a class leader.
Other supermini-MPV rivals from the 2012-2017 era might be slightly bigger or more affordable but if you can find a good one, in this Ford you've what for us is the perfect growing family's second car. And finally, a small people carrier that makes perfect sense.

My bank sent me an email recently warning of an increase in phishing attacks. Today I heard a director of the bank talk about the attacks on the radio, stating that the fake website targeting their users not only asks for account number, PIN number, password etc but also for the user's email credentials – and reportedly, users are falling for this!
The reason these credentials are being asked for is because the internet banking system sends out a one time password (OTP) via SMS or email when certain transactions are conducted – so if the attacker can own your inbox as well as your login, they can transfer all your money to an account of their choosing.
However, I disagree with the bank's advice. The email stated:
Remember, it is safer to type Standard Bank's web address (www.standardbank.co.za) into your browser instead of clicking on a link in an email.
For sure, don't click on a link in an email to get to your internet banking – but typo-squatters are just waiting for you to mis-type such an important URL and if you got it wrong, would you notice if the site looked just the way you expected it to?
My advice, for all important websites: The first time you go there, type the address – and make very sure you are on the right site. Then bookmark it, and only use the bookmark to get there. This will avoid the risk of spelling it wrong when you are a bit more relaxed and ending up at a fraudulent site.
Even better: Use the petname plugin for Firefox. This will clearly show you if you are visiting the same site (with the same SSL certificate) as you visited before.

To the theme of "Mission Impossible," Columbia's astronauts awakened this morning to the news that all systems are go for their mission, a week characterized as the most challenging flight ever to maintain and upgrade the Hubble Space Telescope.
Columbia's capture of the telescope is planned for 3:13 a.m. Sunday. The shuttle's final approach will begin this evening with the longest rendezvous engine firing in shuttle program history. The three and a half minute firing, to be performed using the shuttle's two large orbital engines just after 10 p.m., will dramatically slow the rate at which Columbia is closing on the telescope, raising the shuttle's orbital low point more than 200 miles.
In the cockpit, shuttle Commander Scott Altman and Pilot Duane Carey will guide Columbia's approach. On the shuttle's lower deck this evening, Mission Specialists John Grunsfeld, Rick Linnehan, Jim Newman and Mike Massimino will check out and prepare the tools they'll use during five upcoming space walks. Mission Specialist Nancy Currie will power up Columbia's robotic arm, moving it to a position poised to capture Hubble.
The final phase of the rendezvous with Hubble will begin at about 1 a.m. Sunday, when Columbia is about nine statute miles behind the observatory. An engine firing at that time will put the shuttle on course to directly intercept the telescope. As the shuttle moves within about a half-mile below Hubble about an hour and a half later, Altman will take over manual control of the approach. Altman will ease Columbia to within 35 feet of the telescope, within reach of the outstretched 50-foot-long robotic arm.
As Columbia flies 350 miles above the Pacific Ocean east of Australia, Currie will latch the arm onto a fixture on Hubble. Currie will then lower the telescope into position to be latched to a special support structure in the shuttle's cargo bay. The cargo bay Flight Support System, as the structure is called, will hold the telescope for the next week, turning and tilting it as needed for the spacewalking work.
At about 7 a.m. Sunday, commands will be sent to begin retracting the telescope's two solar arrays, one at a time over the course of about two hours, in preparation for Monday's first space walk. The first space walk, which Grunsfeld and Linnehan are planned to begin at about 12:30 a.m. Monday, will install a pair of new-generation solar arrays on the telescope.
The next STS-109 mission status report will be issued Sunday morning or as events warrant.
NASA Johnson Space Center Mission Status Reports and other information are available automatically by sending an Internet electronic mail message to email@example.com. In the body of the message (not the subject line) users should type "subscribe hsfnews" (no quotes). This will add the e-mail address that sent the subscribe message to the news release distribution list. The system will reply with a confirmation via e-mail of each subscription. Once you have subscribed you will receive future news releases via e-mail.

"Sunday's World's Fair Festival was an astounding success that brought people from across our diverse borough together to celebrate two momentous events in the history of Queens," said Borough President Melinda Katz. "I commend Parks, Assemblywoman [Marge] Markey, all the members of the World's Fair Anniversary Committee and all of the festival's sponsors for doing such an outstanding job of organizing such a wonderful event."
Attendees enjoyed memorabilia, games, inflatable rides, crafts, 50-cent rides on the historic Flushing Meadows carousel, puppet shows, a visit by Mr. Met, and other activities including historic World's Fair tours of sculptures and structures led by the Parks Department.
Joined by Markey and Queens Parks Commissioner Dorothy Lewandowski, Katz presided over a mid-afternoon ceremony honoring Gilmore D. Clarke, the landscape architect who designed the Unisphere, the centerpiece of the 1964 World's Fair, as well as several other elements of both the '64 and '39 fairs.
Katz and Markey presented proclamations honoring Clarke to his widow, Delores Clarke, during the ceremony. Lewandowski also unveiled a new plaque that explains the history of the Unisphere and Clarke's role in its creation.
To bring the evening to a close, Beatles tribute band Liverpool Shuffle and the Queens Symphony Orchestra, which was founded by Katz's father David, performed before a fireworks display ended the day.

Learning while working
Since its inception over forty years ago, NAG has been a consistent supporter of students. The company was founded on academic collaborations and still has very strong links with Universities and learning institutions spanning the globe, so it makes perfect sense to honour its background.
NAG offers support to students and post graduates in many ways, whether by sponsoring MSc courses or by recruiting students on yearly work placements. Essential to NAG's past, current and future success is the fostering of new talent, which helps ensure that the company and its product portfolio evolve alongside fast moving technical advances in software, hardware and computer practices.
Ruth Varley, previously studying on the MEng in Software Engineering course at Aberystwyth University, worked at NAG on the NAG Placement Student Programme. She describes her time at NAG in her own words below.
"My first impression of NAG was completely different from what I'd been told to expect from the commercial world - cut throat, highly stressed and competitive. I believe that NAG's unique collaborative ethos is due in part to its age; the company is over 40 years old, which in software terms is an extremely long time; its longstanding ties with academia; and its not-for-profit status. I was given plenty of freedom in my work which I greatly appreciated, and combined with the relaxed and informal working atmosphere made my time at NAG very enjoyable.
I was thrown straight in at the deep end, which helped me feel very much part of the team. My first project was to develop a benchmark system to allow the comparison of the speed of different versions of the NAG Library. This project included writing user guidelines and code templates for the generation of new benchmark programs plus creating help documentation.
After this I was asked to re-write an existing numerical code in a new language. This particular routine had been requested by a user in the finance industry, and was needed within a very short time frame. The original source code was written in C and my role was to re-write it in Fortran, and ensure that it worked with the rest of the library (standard error reporting, re-use of existing routines where possible, naming of parameters etc). I also wrote the documentation and test program to go with it.
Once the adapted routine was with the client, I worked on expanding the tool I had written while working on it. This tool was for making a library which contained only a subset of NAG routines. I extended it into a system which allowed a smaller library to be built containing a specified group of routines, along with any underlying dependencies.
Following this, I produced a new version of an integer optimisation routine. The general optimiser which the routine used was scheduled to be replaced (although later I produced benchmarks which showed that the old version was faster for some problems, so it was decided to include them both in the next version of the NAG Library), so the program had to be re-engineered, which involved changes to the parameter list. The development work was reasonably quick and easy, but writing the test program took a lot of work.
As I was working on this, it became necessary to compare the C and Fortran libraries as a high street bank was considering becoming a customer and wanted to know which was faster. This involved modifying the Make system to allow linking against external libraries, since the C library Make system was very different from the Fortran one. The results were inconclusive, and the bank decided to buy licences for both.
I also worked on many other projects, which meant that during my time at NAG I learnt a variety of technical skills, many of which will prove useful in the future. Noteworthy skills that I acquired were proficiency in Fortran 77, Fortran 90 and the use of CVS. I also learnt a smattering of Perl and Python, and increased my knowledge of C, shell scripting, gdb and Make.
I had the opportunity to work directly on numerical routines that are now, or soon will be, commercially available which is very exciting. My experiences of consultancy work made me realise the importance of clear requirements from the client, without which misunderstandings can easily occur. The collaborative nature of the consultancy work I undertook with NAG was very inspiring; when I worked on producing a new routine for a client the prototype went back and forth between us, giving the client opportunity to provide input and feedback, and giving me the reassurance that the project was going in the right direction.
Overall, my year placement at NAG was amazing. My colleagues were very welcoming and friendly, and I was always treated as an equal member of the team. I got to work on 'real' projects that I found very interesting and were beneficial to the company. Knowing that I've worked on code development, help guidelines and documentation that will be used by people all over the world, gave me a feeling of great accomplishment. NAG has invited me back to work for them next summer. I'll definitely be going!"

The ballroom hopefuls delivered two routines on "Dancing With the Stars" Monday night, and while that meant two times the opportunity to impress for some celebrities, others simply had a double take at dance-floor disasters.
Ralph Macchio fell into the latter category — and then some.
The flubs and major flaws from the '80s star came as no surprise. As Macchio explained during Monday night's ballroom bash — and as he'd already warned fans on Twitter earlier in the day — he suffered a ruptured cyst on the back of his knee, leaving him with severe pain and without adequate rehearsal time. That combo caused plenty of problems for last week's leaderboard topper.
U.S. & World
No amount of dim lighting, dark clothes and smoke machines (not to mention distracting Liza Minnelli hair and makeup) could hide that fact that Macchio's Viennese waltz lacked preparation and good form. Still, the judges barely spotted the problems. Oh, sure, Len Goodman and the gang mentioned a few of the flaws, but they were quick to applaud his "astonishing" and "inspiring" motivation.
"That spirit of ("Karate Kid") Daniel LaRusso lives on tonight!" Carrie Ann Inaba cheered.
Meh. Not so much. Nemesis Johnny Lawrence would have won that round (and totally swept the leg, too). But hey, LaRusso ... er, Macchio ... limped away with 8s and 9s, so it hardly matters.
Later in the evening, the injured actor faced the night's real challenge — the Instant Dance, otherwise known as the pro-style performance where the music remains a mystery until the last moment. That's where everything, from Macchio's basic steps to his still-generous scores, really slipped.
Like a sort of reverse greatest hits, Macchio hit the floor with every lowlight in the book. Spatula hands? Check! Bad form and frame? Oh, yeah! Lost timing, skipped steps and obvious gaps? Yes, yes and yes.
Even by week-one standards, that was bad. And although the contestant's injury made it all understandable, there are no sympathy scores in the ballroom.
Except when there are. Maybe 5s would have seemed cruel, but the 7s Macchio earned for his cha-cha-cha were beyond generous.
Then again, the "Kid" wasn't the only one benefiting from the kindness of the panel. While the judges rarely agreed with each other, they did agree to stick to their season theme of scores-ain't-nothing-but-a-number.
For instance, just look at the night's other dud, Romeo. Despite a limp tango and a seriously sloppy salsa, the rapper-actor saw nothing but 8s and 9s for the night.
One could argue that Kirstie Alley was another beneficiary of unduly big numbers. Her first dance, a sweeping Argentine tango featuring plenty of allowed lifts, was near perfection but near shouldn't mean a 10. And the insta-salsa she later delivered, the one Goodman oddly and yet aptly called "oily," gathered at least one oh-so-generous 9.
Of course, given the fact that Hines Ward also raked in a 10 for an almost perfect and thoroughly fun foxtrot, maybe Alley's score wasn't so out there. Then again, he had her beat with a couple of out-of-nowhere 9s for his insta-jive.
Not for the first time this season, one dancer waltzed away with a lower than deserved score. This week's front-runner (and past week's should-have-been front-runner), Disney Channel star Chelsea Kane, put on a slow, sexy and seemingly perfect waltz, but landed only two out of three possible 10s. (Chalk that one up to the never-ending style battle between her pro partner, Mark Ballas, and the esteemed Goodman.) And her salsa should have at least seen a matching set of 9s rather than two 9s and an 8. (Chalk that one up to Inaba's sudden score battle with Bruno Tonioli.)
At least Kane and her nearest competition this week, Ward and Alley, won't have anything to worry about on Tuesday night. Despite the now de rigueur scoring oddities, the next results show showdown should come down to just two ballroom blunderers — the injured Macchio and the frequently flawed Romeo.
Ree Hines truly felt sorry for the always likable Macchio, but she would have pulled out her 4 paddle for that last dance. Yikes! Follow @ReeHines on Twitter and tell her your score.

Honda Urban SUV Concept leaks out ahead of Detroit debut
January 13, 2013
by Steven J. Ewing
Next up on the 2013 Detroit Auto Show embargo-break-a-palooza: the Honda Urban SUV Concept. Thanks to Indian Autos Blog, we now have the first press shots of the small crossover concept a vehicle that will someday make it to production, riding on the Honda Fit platform.
It may have some big features namely, the large headlamps, big wheels, and bold body lines but the Urban SUV Concept will compete with smaller vehicles like the Nissan Juke or Fiat 500L. Indian Autos Blog reports that both 1.6- an 1.8-liter four-cylinder engines are being speculated for use in the production model, as well as a diesel powerplant for foreign markets.
That's all we know for now, but stay tuned to see the full smattering of official images and details as part of this week's Detroit coverage.

Cedar Rapids, Iowa March 2, 2014
Dave Franzman is looking for people to talk to about this call him at 319-551-6085
Jennifer Greif said: "I work at the mall. I hope you realize how childish it is to fight in front of innocent people. The guy from Panda Express ended up in the hospital due to their stupidity. Get the fuck out of the mall and go back to Chicago."
ErBear said: "Are you kidding me? REALLY??? My father has worked at this mall for about 14 years. Never, and I do mean NEVER have I ever seen such stupidity and immaturity happen at Lindale, and I spent a large portion of my time there when I was younger. Everyone who was involved in this should be absolutely ashamed of themselves. Malls aren't places to go screw around and start trouble in."
davidwr99 said: "Bunch of ignorant punks fighting and hurting innocent bystanders. They need to be locked up until they can act civilized."
I don't know what this fight was over but I think it sucks that innocent bystanders were hurt during this altercation. There were chairs flying all over the place! I don't blame people from one place for all the troubles we have here in Cedar Rapids. Not all the people who live in Cedar Rapids that make trouble are from Chicago. Some of them are from Indiana, California, Louisiana, and yes, some of them are from here.
