Caramel Mousse Filling for Cakes & Cupcakes
If you like caramel, you are going to fall in love with this easy and flavorful Caramel Mousse Filling for your cakes and cupcakes!
The caramel flavor and consistency is so light and luscious, and we recently used it as a filling and topping for our homemade Chocolate Cake with fantastic results! It is a new favorite filling option for sure, and one that was long overdue.

How do You Make Caramel Mousse Filling?
This delicious filling is easier than you think! We started off by whipping up some cream!
Now that the whipped cream is ready, we're on to the delicious caramel. Heavy cream and caramel chips are the key players! In this case, we actually used salted caramel chips (SO good), but plain caramel chips would work well also.
Next, we combined the caramel chips and cream in a microwave-safe bowl, and heated in the microwave in small increments until melted.
Deliciousness! Here is our freshly melted caramel...
Next, I wanted to cool the mixture. You want it to cool to a consistency that is still soft enough to be incorporated into our whipped cream, but not so hot that it melts it.
A good option is to just place the bowl of caramel into a bowl of ice. However, you could also refrigerate it-- just keep an eye on it so it doesn't become too cold! ;0)
We gently folded the melted caramel into the whipped cream until light, luscious, and well combined!
What Cakes Taste Great with Caramel Mousse Filling?
That's all there is to it! Spread this delicious caramel mousse between layers of your favorite chocolate sour cream cake or caramel cake... and even spice cakes and pumpkin cakes too! There are so many cake recipes that would taste amazing with caramel mousse filling.
For this post, we chose our decadent classic chocolate cake from scratch, and frosted with ganache frosting- So good! The combination or caramel and chocolate is the best.
Decorating the cake with Ganache and Caramel Mousse
After frosting the cake with chocolate ganache (a 2:1 ratio of semi-sweet chocolate to cream), we topped it off with piped stars of caramel mousse.
While it holds up to piping perfectly, it's probably a bit too soft for spreading over the entire cake. That'll be an experiment for another time ;0) -- Although, it would work well on cupcakes!
We hope that you try this amazing caramel filling! It's definitely a new favorite of ours!
How to Make Ganache Frosting
For the 8 inch cake pictured above, we created ganache frosting using a 2:1 ratio of chocolate to cream. In this case, we used 20 oz Ghirardelli Semi-Sweet Mini Chips, to 10 oz heavy cream.
To make the ganache, we placed the chocolate and cream in a microwave-safe bowl, heated for one minute, stirred, heated for 30 more seconds, stirred until it came together with no unmelted pieces. (Repeat heating in small increments and stirring if needed until it’s ready). The ganache thickens as it cools.
Then, we simply frosted and smoothed with a bench scraper. If you'd like to further smooth the ganache, you can chill it just until firm, and glide over it with a heated metal bench scraper (or spatula).

- 1 ¼ cups (282g) heavy cream - whipped to stiff peak stage
- 1 10 oz (283g) bag Hershey's Salted Caramel chips (or your caramel chips of choice)
- ½ cup (115g) heavy cream - for melting the caramel chips
- Chill the bowl and beaters in the freezer at least 15 minutes before whipping the heavy cream. Whip 1 ¼ cups heavy cream to the stiff peak stage (when you pull the beaters out of the bowl the peaks will hold firm and not curl over). Cover the bowl and refrigerate the whipped cream while preparing the caramel.
- To a microwave safe bowl add the bag of Hershey's Salted Caramel Chips (or your caramel chips of choice) and ½ cup heavy cream.
- Microwave 20 seconds and stir, another 20 seconds, stir and a final 10 seconds and stir until the chips are completely melted. Be careful not to over microwave the chips.
- The caramel needs to cool down completely before folding into the whipped cream. If it is added while still warm the whipped cream will deflate. To speed up the cooling process, place the bowl with the caramel into a larger bowl containing ice. This should cool it down in about 10 minutes.
- Stir the caramel frequently while it is cooling. Fold the caramel into the whipped cream and it is ready to use.

The owner of Lenny’s Delicatessen at Harborplace is looking for someone to take over his space at the Pratt Street Pavilion.
Owner Brian Needel said the deli is not closing, but he would considering selling “if the right person came along.” He has not gotten too many takers since they put the space on the market less than a month ago, he said. The space is listed on BizBuySell, an internet marketplace. It offers a long-term lease for the property with a five-year option.
Needel is open to finding someone to buy the Harborplace Lenny’s as-is, he said, or bringing in someone with a new concept to take over the Harborplace lease. A deli-style eatery would be the most logical for the space, he said.
“Everything is set up for this type of operation,” Needel said, noting the restaurant equipment is new since Lenny’s set up shop in April 2011.
The restaurant seats 130 in its 3,108-square-foot space inside, plus outdoor patio seating.
Lenny’s has two more locations, its flagship on Lombard Street — open since 1985 — and one in Owings Mills. Needel has not decided whether to search for a new location should he decide to move out of the Pratt Street Pavilion, but he said he would like to find a spot with less seasonal business as the Inner Harbor if he does relocate.
Lenny's arrival at Harborplace was much celebrated with a grand opening that included Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake. Harborplace lost most of its locally based stores or restaurants since it opened in 1980.
General Growth Properties, which bought Harborplace founder the Rouse Co., lured Lenny's in an effort to refresh its offerings of retail and restaurants and fill several vacancies. In the same wave, it brought in Ripley's Believe it or Not and Bubba Gump Shrimp Co.
Christopher Schardt, general manager of Harborplace, could not be reached for comment.
General Growth sold Harborplace to Ashkenazy Acquisition Corp. last year.

Haudenosaunee song and dance
The Ongwehoñwe (ohn-gweh-WHO-wey) Singers & Dancers include members from the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, Seneca and Tuscarora nations. Those six nations made up the powerful native alliance that was centered in an area of what is now New York State. The U.S. government called it the Iroquois Confederacy, but tribal members refer to themselves as Haudenosaunee, which means "the people of the longhouse," or Ongwehoñwe, often translated as "people" or "real people."
Led by Gaehnew Printup, the troupe is comprised of young people who began learning traditional social dances as small children by following along at community celebrations. Now entering adulthood, they formed the Ongwehoñwe Singers & Dancers to share these dances with others, with the goal of strengthening and preserving their culture for coming generations.
Dance remains central to Haudenosaunee cultural expression. Many dances tell stories of nature, giving thanks to the Creator for the Earth and its bounty; others help dancers maintain connections to their ancestors. While ceremonial dances with sacred significance are performed only among community members, social dances like the Rabbit and Old Moccasin Dances can be enjoyed by all audiences, expressing happiness, thankfulness and good health. One of the more impressive social dances is the Smoke Dance.
Haudenosaunee dance survives today through the passion, dedication and commitment of troupes such as the Ongwehoñwe Singers & Dancers, as well as young dance ensembles that perform at regional and national festivals and state fairs. This year marks the first time that Haudenosaunee social dance traditions have been presented at the Lowell Folk Festival.

If you don’t have money, you can’t win.
That’s been the general consensus in politics for decades, but especially for the past 10 years, ever since Citizen United became the law of the land.
Many times, politicians will say they want to get money out of politics. Their actions always speak otherwise. They’ll decry money on the one hand, and then take it from every shady corporate character they can when you’re not looking.
And they know you’re not looking nearly 100% of the time.
The worst offenders are those that spend years talking about ‘the plague of dark money,’ only to turn around and jump ship and join those dark money outfits when their time in office is done.
Think Steve Bullock.
Anyways, here at the local level many of our city council candidates are trying to raise money.
They know if they raise enough of it, they won’t have to waste their time knocking on doors. Instead they can just send out a bunch of junk mail, inundate you with social media advertising, fill your inbox with spam, and litter their yard signs into as many lawns as possible.
This is what the ‘successful’ candidates will do.
The unsuccessful will do one of two things: most will bitch and moan that they can’t raise money, the game is rigged against them, and they’ll give up...aside from constantly playing around on social media. The other group - much, much smaller - will suck it up, knock on as many doors as they can, and generally try to win with all the chips stacked against them.
So really, 3 types of candidates: those with money that can win easily, those without that know they can’t win, and those without that know they probably can’t win, but will bust their balls trying anyways.
Which type are the 15 people running for city council?
Let’s dig into their finances and find out.
Jennifer Savage: This woman has raised $125 so far. She’s not bothering with a website or social media. I think she thinks her association with Six Pony Hitch and Spider McKnight is enough to carry her through, and sadly, she may be right. All of that money is loans to herself. She’s not even trying to raise money.
Kevin Hunt: This man has raised $2,253 so far and he’s spent nearly $2,000. Around $800 of that comes from loans. There are serious problems with this report, as there are no other contributions listed, meaning we have no idea where the other $1,400 or so is coming from. I have to be honest...I question some of these expenditures. For instance, $650 was given to BestBuy for a new laptop and 1-year-warranty so he could do finance reports. Over $450 was spent on a website, which I think is a bit much. Finally, $787 was spent to get 200 yard signs. This is a good use of money, though I think 200 is a bit high for your first run and most of those will probably end up in the garage, unused. I always think it’s better to use a local printer, with local workers, as opposed to a cheap firm in Texas, but that’s just me. I think the biggest problem Hunt will run into is not finding enough people that will put a sign in their yard. I know this from my previous runs. It's especially heartbreaking when a house says they will put a sign up, then a week later, your opponent’s sign is in their yard. Happened to me a lot in ‘19.
Sheena Winterer: This woman has raised over $3,500 and has spent nearly $700. She loaned herself $2,500. Most of the other people giving her money are realtors, many with Ink Realty, where I think she works. Her largest expenditure has been $86 for 100 magnets and 100 postcards.
Jane VanFossen: This woman, who filed on the last day, has not bothered to file a campaign finance report...despite them being due 10 days ago. I worry about candidates like this. If they can’t even file a simple report with the state about their own money, how are they going to follow all the money in the budget? They’re not, it’s that simple. For that reason, these candidates are the most appealing for the corrupt, powers-that-be in town. People like VanFossen can be molded into pliable and easy-to-manipulate puppets.
Jordan Hess: This man’s raised $5,660 so far and has spent $650. Most of the town’s entrenched Democratic monied class is giving to him. Besides the filing fee, his largest expenditure was $100 to the Montana Democratic Party in Helena for their voter access network. So far, he’s the only candidate that’s paid for this. The candidates that haven’t done this are way behind. For many, the Dem VAN will be cut-off to them, and for many, they can’t imagine the idea of using the GOP’s. Candidates that want to field a viable campaign will, however...though the last I heard, our state GOP did not pay to maintain their access to the network in off-years. This is one of the biggest failures of leadership I’ve seen in all my 8 years of covering Montana politics.
Rebecca Dawson: This woman has raised $112, though her report only shows $67…$27 in-kind from herself, and $40 from her bookkeeper. If this woman does not get into action very quickly, she’s not going to stand a chance. Right now she’s $5,500 behind, and I really don’t know how much the GOP can help her (see the above comment about the VAN, and let’s hope for her sake, the GOP is keeping up on it).
Dori Gilels: This favorite of Engen has two reports already. Combined, she’s raised $6,465 and has spent about $1,450. A lot of the city’s sleaze have donated. Her largest expenditure has been $420 to Westwood Creative for a voter mailing list. After that it was $363 for fundraising mailers.
Daniel Carlino: The underdog also has two reports. He’s raised nearly $4,000 so far and has spent almost $1,000. So far he’s spent $600 to get his website up. He spent another $253 on 2,000 “meet Daniel cards.” I think this is smart. That’s about all the door-knocking-handouts you need, and he got them at a good price. Remember, most people throw those away right after you leave their porch. It’s interesting to see the ‘rebel Dems’ that are giving to Carlino. These are typically folks that are not quite fully onboard with the Engen machine, and might even want to challenge it. One of the interesting things I noted is that Tom Winter gave him around $100. That’s fine, but I noticed Tom is listed as a project manager for the Pistol Creek Ranch, which is located in Idaho. Is this the same Tom Winter that’s currently suing the state, and who ran for congress last year? I wonder if he’s still living in Montana.
Mike Nugent: This guy’s raised more than anyone, $7,200 so far. His income report is a who’s-who of Democratic suck-ups. $1,500 went to Missoula’s RHD LLC for “development of campaign strategy, timeline, and resources,” and another $1,500 went to get his website up.
Alan Ault: This man has raised $0 and has spent $0. If he had any desire to win, I’m not seeing it. He hasn’t updated his Facebook page since August 2020. I’m not sure why he even filed.
Stacie Anderson: This woman has raised $5,660 and has spent $0. It’s really easy on these entrenched Democrats - right away you see the name Melanie Brock donating to them, and you know they’re part of the Engen machine. Her largest expenditure was $100 to the MT Dems for access to the VAN.
Bob Campbell: This guy has three finance reports already. He’s raised a little over $2,000 and has spent around $1,300. Big expenditures are $280 on 1,000 candidate cards and $242 on 1,000 fundraising envelopes.
Kristen Jordan: This woman has raised $680 so far and has spent $0. Her website still has all the placeholder text. It just doesn’t seem like she really cares. She’s loaned herself $500 and the rest of her money has come from Mayor Engen. Her campaign report is totally wrong, with things listed as debt that should be expenditures. I can see that she’s spent around $50 on her website and over $260 with WestRidge Creative for “Proj mgt work: misc calls, emails, meetings, initial logo work, communications brief, work on paper "Why Run?", initial fundraising, walksheet devel”
Tom Taylor: This man has not bothered to file a campaign finance report, despite the fact that he filed for office way back in April. I just don’t think he’s a serious candidate. Maybe he was some point earlier this year, but it just seems like he’s given up. That’s sad, because this seems like a winnable ward.
Madelein Owen: This woman has not bothered to file a campaign finance report, she has no presence online, and I’ve never heard of her. She doesn’t seem like a serious candidate at all.
Ward 6 seems all but lost, and I suspect Engen will have his team pull Jordan through, creating another easy puppet vote for him.
Ward 2 and Ward 5 are going to be the only competitive wards this year, mainly because you have two people that aren’t afraid to say they’re conservative, and aren’t afraid to side with the local GOP.
On June 22, the Missoula County Republican Party mentioned on Facebook that they would begin vetting candidates “next week.” That week has come and gone, and I can only hope they contacted some candidates and offered their support.
But you know what? I doubt they have. The local GOP has been an incompetent mess for years. Like I said above, I don’t think they could help candidates identify conservative voters even if they wanted to, because they don’t think that’s a good use of their money, to keep access to that VAN.
If Ward 2 and Ward 5 don’t get that VAN, they’re in big trouble. Both of their opponents have it already on the Dem side, and that’s a huge, huge advantage in fundraising, and perhaps more importantly, identifying houses you can put a yard sign up at.
What the hell is the Missoula GOP thinking?!?
Ward 4 will be an easy Dem win this year, as will be Ward 3. I’d like to see Carlino put up a good fight, and I suspect he will, but the forces arrayed against him are too strong. I suspect he’ll lose, get angry again, create a huff, and make future runs even more difficult. Eventually he slink away from the political scene, or possibly stay...becoming a joke like me.
Ward 1 has turned into a more interesting race than I thought it would. It seems like anything could happen there. We’ll see how adamant those candidates are about getting out and knocking on doors in incredibly hot weather.
Ballots go out in some of these races on August 25 for the September 14 primary. So that gives people 7 full weeks to get their message out there.

To cyclists, it’s a given that Cincinnati
desperately needs more bike lanes. But recent research shows bike lanes
don’t just pose advantages for cyclists; they can also help local
economies and public health.
An entrepreneur profited off of Trayvon Martin’s death by
selling gun range targets featuring a hoodie with crosshairs aimed at
the chest, Skittles and a can resembling iced tea — all items Martin had
in his possession when he was shot and killed in Sanford, Fla. in
February. World -2
A lack of consideration for bikes as a legitimate form of transportation -- and a consequent lack of funding and planning -- has left Cincinnati way behind one of the most simple and important movements of the 21st century. Today's economic realities are forcing American society to consider alternatives to a car-based lifestyle, and cities that long ago took the lead on bike safety and transportation planning are benefiting from it in numerous ways.

A young London Beefeater team learned a lot during the 2016 season and will come back this year will a vengeance looking to get back into the Ontario Conference playoffs. The extra incentive of the Ontario champion hosting the Canadian Bowl is another big motivator to win this season.
For the Beefeaters to succeed, the offensive line must play to their potential. One of those players is Mazin Salman, a CJFL Weekend Warrior.
Last season was his first in the CJFL and the decision to play for the Beefeaters was a no brainer. “After high school, I saw becoming a Beefeater as my only chance of putting on a bucket again and playing the only sport I knew and loved. Without a doubt becoming a Beefeater was a great opportunity to compete and be a part of something great.”
The London native says despite the tough 2-6 season last year, the decision to return this year was an easy one, “There is no sport like football, and with this group of brothers that I competed with last season, I feel as if they are just as dedicated, hardworking and motivated as I am to the team. That makes it an easy decision for me to come back and to achieve goals my teammates and I have set out for the next season. As well, I feel as if I'm the fastest and strongest I've ever been in my life, and eager to make a strong impact on the field.”
At 6’2, 235 pounds, many in the Conference referred to Salman as an “undersized” offensive lineman which has drove him this offseason. Eager to get back on the field, Salman has been in the gym getting bigger, stronger and faster. So much so that he would like to make the jump to the other side of the ball. “In my final year of high school I played both ways as an OL and DL, but throughout my high school career I was a defensive player, and I hope to go back to my roots this season as so far I have cut 38lb since the season and plan on cutting more weight in hopes of being fast and agile to play defensive end. Improving Speed and agility and being light on my feet is what I set out to achieve most this off season.”
When Salman isn’t working in the gym, he’s putting in his shifts at “Solutions” in London, an organized living store. He is also currently a student athlete, “attending Western University, but plan on switching to Fanshawe College in pursuit to become a personal trainer, as working out is something I truly enjoy, and I would love to help others find their fitness passions as well . When I'm not studying, working out or working at my job, I'm mostly hanging out with friends and family."
Despite entering just his second season, Salman has already begun thinking about life after the CJFL, “I would love to make a run at the CFL combine. But after my playing career, I hope to continue to make an impact in the football community by becoming a coach.”
Salman and the Beefeaters open the season on Sunday August 20th when they visit the GTA Grizzlies.
Offensive lineman Mazin Salman of the London Beefeaters is a CJFL Weekend Warrior.
The Canadian Junior Football League is pleased to announce the 2017 schedule that kicks off in the BC Conference (BCFC) on Saturday July 29, 2017.
Following the BCFC kick off, both the Prairie Conference (PFC) and the Ontario Conference (OFC) will open the season on August 12th with a pair of interconferene games. The Winnipeg Rifles visit the Ottawa Sooners and the Windsor AKO Fratmen host the Edmonton Huskies
This season marks the return of the OFC who now comply with the rest of the CJFL and capping the age limit to 22.
This season also highlights six CJFL Interconference games including 10 teams from the PFC and OFC. The first two are set for August 12, then a pair on August 26th, before concluding on the weekend of September 23-24th.
The CJFL playoffs will open the weekend of October 14-15, followed by the conference championships October 21-22. With the return of the OFC, the CJFL will host a National Semi-Final game this season which will see the winner of the PFC host the winner of the BCFC on October 28. Two weeks after that game the winner will travel to Ontario and face the winner of the OFC title in the 2017 Canadian Bowl on November 11th.
Each of the Conference schedules are below:
For the first time in its long history the CJFL will see teams from the Prairie Conference (PFC) battle teams from the Ontario Conference (OFC) in regular season action as six Interconference games have been scheduled.
Last season the CJFL hosted a pair of successful Interconference games between teams in the BC Conference and teams in the PFC. Despite bad weather and lopsided scores, fans in Chilliwack and Kelowna came out in droves to support the history making games and enjoyed the experience.
This year’s Interconference games will feature a total of 10 teams involved in six games beginning Saturday August 12th.
The Winnipeg Rifles head east to face the Ottawa Sooners in the Nation’s Capital while the Edmonton Huskies travel to Windsor to face the AKO Fratmen. This will be the first time these franchises will face one another and part of an exciting opening weekend for both the PFC and OFC Conferences.
A couple of weeks later another pair of Interconference games will are scheduled, both with Canadian Bowl history attached.
The Regina Thunder will meet the reigning OFC champion Hamilton Hurricanes on Saturday August 26th for the first time in 25 years. The last time they met was the 1993 Canadian Bowl in Regina, that the then Rams won 23-11. These two also met in the 1975 Armadale Cup (now Canadian Bowl) in which the Rams were victorious 38-19. Rewinding this all-time series even further the Hurricanes defeated Regina in the 1972 Leader Post Trophy game (now Canadian Bowl) 33-8.
The second match-up that day features the defending national champion Saskatoon Hilltops hosting the Ottawa Sooners in a rematch of the 1991 Canadian Bowl. It was a title game that the Hilltops won 41-27 on their home field in Saskatoon.
The final pair of CJFL Interconference games this season will fall the weekend of September 23-24. The Hurricanes travel west to meet the Edmonton Wildcats for the first time in exactly 40 years. Back in the 1977 Armadale Cup the Wildcats shutout the Hurricanes 28-0 in their only other meeting to win the national title.
Then Sunday the 24th the Calgary Colts will host the London Beefeaters for the first time in CJFL history.
Each of the six games will offer historical significance and will no doubt create a buzz of excitement not only within those communities, but also across the entire CJFL.
The full schedule featuring all three Conferences will be release tomorrow (Thursday) at 10:00am EST/7:00am PST.

As a young boy in Cuba, Carlos Gimenez often woke up to the caretaker's voice rousing his father for a day's work on the family ranch.
"I would get dressed. and my horse would be ready," the 60-year-old recalled. "Those were good times."
Now mayor of Miami-Dade County, Gimenez's public profile and private history put him in the spotlight as President Barack Obama offers Cuba a diplomatic embrace. The county's senior Cuban-born politician issued a disapproving statement Wednesday, but in an interview he didn't ramp up the criticism.
"While I welcome the release of Alan Gross and another person, I am deeply disturbed that it appears that in this negotiation we did not secure freedoms for the Cuban people," Gimenez said in the statement from his office. Hours later, a reporter asked if he thought Obama's move would do any good, he replied: "That's to be determined. We'll see."
The Cuban news comes weeks after Gimenez, a Republican, touted the Obama administration's approval of a new hiring initiative he's pitching as a way to help ease chronic unemployment in some of Miami-Dade's black neighborhoods. Gimenez also is on the same side of the White House on police body cameras, which he wants issued to all county patrol officers.
After a brief flirtation with becoming an independent, Gimenez is positioning himself as a non-partisan administrator as he gears up for a reelection fight in 2016 that the Democratic Party has pledged to make competitive for him.
His Miami counterpart and fellow Cuban immigrant, Mayor Tomás Regalado, seemed to take a harsher tone with the Obama administration, predicting trouble if Washington accommodated Cuba in opening a consulate in Miami.
“I would think having a consulate in Miami would be a mistake because it would create a safety issue,” said Regalado, a Republican whose father spent 22 years in prison under the Castro regime. "Because some people eventually will try to do something to the consulate.”
Regaldo's daughter, school board member Raquel Regalado, is considering a run against Gimenez in 2016 for county mayor. Gimenez declined to take a position on the consulate question. "I think there are a lot of other obstacles that have to be hopped over before we think of a Cuban consulate here in Miami," he said.
At age 7, Gimenez left what he described as an affluent life in Cuba. Along with the ranch on Cuba's Oriente Province, the family owned a condo in Havana. They'd split their time between the two, with the caretaker's family watching over the ranch during the city breaks.
The Gimenezes left for the United States in November 1960, a year after Fidel Castro took power. Gimenez said he recalled thinking the plane ride was the start of a vacation, and that his parents expected to be back in about six months. They bunked in Miami in a four-bedroom house with two other families, with about 20 people sleeping there in all. His father worked a bellhop at the Seville Hotel, and his mother in the office of an exterminator company.
Young Gimenez spoke no English. He remembered asking another boy, who spoke both, when first grade started. "He said 'tomorrow, mañana," Gimenez. "That was the first word I learned in English."
When he talked with Naked Politics, Gimenez hadn't spoken to his parents about Obama's announcement. "My father is 92. My mom is in her early 80s," he said. "Cuba is very painful for them."
Gimenez said he wants to visit Cuba, and see where he started life. He's found the condo complex on Google Earth. "The kiddie pools are still there," he said. But he has no interest in going there until the Castro regime ends.
"Until they're gone, I don't choose to," he said. "I also don't send money there. Those are personal choices I've made, and my parents made. Because we don't want to help the government in any way, shape or form."

Thumb arthritis is common with aging and occurs when cartilage wears away from the ends of the bones that form the joint at the base of your thumb â also known as the carpometacarpal (CMC) joint.
Thumb arthritis can cause severe pain, swelling, and decreased strength and range of motion, making it difficult to do simple tasks, such as turning doorknobs and opening jars. Treatment generally involves a combination of medication and splints. Severe thumb arthritis might require surgery.
Pain is the first and most common symptom of thumb arthritis. Pain can occur at the base of your thumb when you grip, grasp or pinch an object, or use your thumb to apply force.
Other signs and symptoms might include:
See your doctor if you have persistent swelling, stiffness or pain at the base of your thumb.
Thumb arthritis commonly occurs with aging. Previous trauma or injury to the thumb joint also can cause thumb arthritis.
In a normal thumb joint, cartilage covers the ends of the bones â acting as a cushion and allowing the bones to glide smoothly against each other. With thumb arthritis, the cartilage that covers the ends of the bones deteriorates, and its smooth surface roughens. The bones then rub against each other, resulting in friction and joint damage.
The damage to the joint might result in growth of new bone along the sides of the existing bone (bone spurs), which can produce noticeable lumps on your thumb joint.
During a physical exam, your doctor will ask about your symptoms and look for noticeable swelling or lumps on your joints.
Your doctor might hold your joint while moving your thumb, with pressure, against your wrist bone. If this movement produces a grinding sound, or causes pain or a gritty feeling, the cartilage has likely worn down, and the bones are rubbing against each other.
Imaging techniques, usually X-rays, can reveal signs of thumb arthritis, including:
To ease pain and improve joint mobility, try to:
Factors that can increase your risk of thumb arthritis include:

Halo Infinite is a direct sequel in the Halo series to Halo 5: Guardians, first announced at E3 2018 at Microsoft's press briefing. Little is known about the game, especially since it does not feature a number. The only thing known about the game is that it's the first to feature a new 343 Industries proprietary engine dubbed "Slipspace".
The game has no release date. According to 343 Industries studio head Chris Lee, "We still have a long way to go until we ship the game." It will also be a Windows 10 release, allowing players to experience the full saga alongside The Master Chief Collectionnote .
Halo Infinite provides examples of:
- Art Evolution: According to Word of God, art director Nicolas Bouvier will be "drawing significant inspiration from the most iconic and historic parts of the Halo franchise." As such, the E3 trailer showed a more Bungie-style SPARTAN II armor on Master Chief.
- Prehistoria: Downplayed. The Halo ring the game takes place on has the prehistoric Megacerops among the animals on its surface, but there are still plenty of both modern and alien animals as well.
- Scenery Porn: The E3 2018 teaser was completely done in the Slipspace engine, and the scenery of what is implied to be Installation 07 looks gorgeous.
- Seldom-Seen Species: The E3 2018 teaser featured a species of the genus Megacerops, resembling Brontotherium. Considering the world is a Halo ring, it's unknown if it's a parallel alien species or a population transplanted from (or in the past to) ancient Earth. A species of Irish elk seemed to have been depicted as well.
- Stopped Numbering Sequels: Similar to Halo: Reach, which was previously the only game in the main series to not feature a number. Though it's played straight this time around, since Infinite is a direct continuation from Halo 5's story (the developer explicitly stated it was Halo 6) whereas Reach was a spinoff title and a prequel to CE.
- Wham Shot: The shot of Master Chief inserting an AI into his helmet at the end of the trailer, which has massive implications In-Universe.

A few years ago, Toyota Motor Corp. briefly had cause for celebration when it won a wrongful death jury trial in San Francisco Superior Court. Then Judge James McBride granted a new trial and slapped the automaker with $138,984 in discovery sanctions.
Now, facing a motion for terminating sanctions that would automatically find Toyota liable during the retrial, the company is hoping to bring in a new judge.

I woke up agitated and inspired at the same time.
I have many vivid dreams, and if I had a clone of me I would journal them. They have been fabulous fodder for interpretation and art. But alas, there is not enough time in the day as it is, so I have to forgo that.
But this morning's dream stuck in my mind. It was inspirational at the very least.
I was back in grad school, and was in a drama/literature class. The professor was a man, about my age, and an angry demeaning man who for some reason, did not like me.After reading a paper I handed in, he gave me a failing grade, and told me that I was failing the class. I was in shock, and said "I was only out once and missed one assignment that I will do!" He laughed and snickered something about my being worthless in the class.
The class had to do an acting piece, whether as a group or as an individual. I watched part of the group do a performance which blew my mind. I had decided to quit and not do it since he was failing me anyway.
Then Ida (a sweet woman from one of my past lives) came up to me and said, "don't do it for him, do it for US. WE will benefit from whatever you do".
The ending? A def poetry rap about my struggle, being a phoenix rising from the ashes, whose resurrection cannot be stopped, not even by a misogynist angry man.
No rocket science needed for this interpretation. The professor was my father, and in the end I triumphed over his feelings of my being worthless and inferior.
It will make for an interesting collage, and I wonder if I should write the poem.
Clone, wherefore art thou?
The image is from an antique print. I wouldn't mess with her!

Consensus Ratings for VEREIT (NYSE:VER) (How are Consensus Ratings Calculated?)
MarketBeat calculates consensus ratings using the most recent rating from each brokerage that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Since brokers often use different ratings systems, each rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings. Each stock's consensus rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0-1.5 = Sell, 1.5-2.5 = Hold, 2.5-3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months.
MarketBeat will no longer include ratings and price target data in its consensus calculation if a broker drops coverage and MarketBeat has received a report that coverage was dropped. Ratings from certain research firms that issue ratings using purely quantitative methods (such as Zacks, Vetr and ValuEngine) are not included in consensus calculations. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

About Cheryl Collett & her Blog
Cheryl is a winner of Top 25 Foodie Moms - 2012
What's the one food you could never live without?
Lamb chops! I'm from Australia but have lived in over 12 cities around the world. After spending some time exploring the local food, I always crave lamb chops. I guess you can take the girl out of Australia but you can't take Aussie out of the girl.
I'm delighted my two IttyBittyFoodies who are born in the USA have also acquired a taste for them. We simply grill them on the 'barbie' with rosemary, salt and pepper or sometimes add a herb crust. Pikelet & Lollo love them medium rare and with a little bit of mint sauce. The recipe takes about 20 minutes from start to finish and is what I call 'Gourmet Fast Food'. Lamb chops are on our monthly meal rotation.
What's a treat your kids love that's actually healthy?
My IttyBittyFoodies will eat sea urchin and lentils but they will not touch cheese until I found petits suisse cheese by Petit Montebourg. They are flown in fresh weekly from Normandy, France and come in a small pack of 6. It has a texture of a thick yogurt, almost like Greek yogurt and come in flavors like banana-strawberry, apricot-mango and peach-pear. Of course there are no preservatives! We always pack one for their lunches and it's so good, my IttyBittyFoodies ask for it at dessert time.
What's your best tip for feeding a picky eater?
Try and try again. Children's palates change often. My pediatrician once told me that a child needs to taste something at least 40 times to figure out whether they like something or not.
We use two methods - First is the No Thank You Bite where they need to at least have one bite of the food. If they do not like it, they can simply say "No Thank You." The second is by normalizing the food by presenting it on the dinner table on a regular basis. We've found success with lots of different food that the kids did not touch early on but now love. The key is persistence! I had the pleasure of meeting Tiger Mom Amy Chua and persistence is something I took away from her talk.
Our goals as parents are to provide our IttyBittyFoodies with a sense of what is good for their bodies to eat and also to be bold and worldly with their palates. So add a dash Tiger Mom magic to your picky eaters and keep trying!

When I don't have time to make everything from scratch, I do use a little help. Here's my pie crisp using Wholly Wholesome pie crust. There are products out there that I trust and am happy to let my kids eat. We also love the many varieties of apples we get at the store now! And we do taste tests with the kids (also a good way to get them to try different things)
What's your go-to meal for a romantic dinner at home, after the kids are asleep?

If the respective keywords for each page are used within the text on that page, the page will rank higher in Google results. The optimum is 2 in 10 words, but no need to compromise too much on the flow of the text in order to achieve this! Iraq-bound young squaddie Ronnie takes something dodgy and falls asleep for three nights in a filthy hovel where he has the strangest of dreams. He watches the tattoed tribes of modern Britain assemble to speak with a grinning man playing war games. Arthurian legend merges with its twenty-first century counterpart in a biting commentary on leadership, individualism and the divisions in British society. Meanwhile Cardiff gansta Max is fed up with life in his favourite nightclub, Rome, and chases a vision of the perfect woman in far flung parts of his country.
Niall Griffiths lives near Aberystwyth, and has published six fiction books to date. His 2004 novel, Stump, won the Book of the Year Award. He has been published by Bloomsbury and Cape and his work continues to receive strong critical acclaim throughout the UK. Niall is also the author of Real Aberystwth and Real Liverpool (Seren).


It is a Japanese Type 99, the most common Japanese rifle of WWII and a popular souvenir for American troops. The circular stamp is the Chrysanthemum, or "mum", the "mon" or symbol of the Japanese royal family. The other characters read "9 9 Type". Rifles surrendered in Japan after the war had the "mum" ground off, a concession the U.S. made to the Japanese so they didn't have to turn over the imperial symbol to the recent enemy. Rifles with the "mum" intact were usually combat captures.
As to the rest of the rifle, some good pictures will be needed. Many of those rifles were "sporterized" in one way or another, so intact ones with the "mum" are fairly valuable.

SHE’S ALL RIGHT
feature biopic in development
adapted from the true life memoir by Debra J. Hopkins
A Black Baptist minister comes out as a trans woman and must confront her mental illness while fighting for acceptance from her video-game-developer daughter.
SHE'S ALL RIGHT is about a Black trans woman trying to get acceptance from her family while pursuing justice within a world that does not value her life. This is a political film grounded by a poignant love story. The true-life story of Debra Hopkins has particular urgency for our time not only because of the real-world insights it provides about the American legal system but also because it focuses on trauma passed down from one generation to the next. This story provides a model for healing and restorative justice.
Black trans women, like Debra Hopkins, are some of the most marginalized people in our society. Yet even though she is the victim of a dehumanizing crime, in the end Debra does not remain a victim and is not defined by what has happened to her. Unlike real life in which many people like Debra do not survive, in this film she gets the help she needs to begin the long process of healing.

Your precious mementoes, quirky hand-me-downs and souvenirs from the past are worth showing off at home. Artfully arranged, these collectables can have a powerful visual and emotional effect on an interior
Words by Sarah Heeringa. Photography by Jane Ussher
2 Make the most of really high shelves.
Collections that are more form over function are made for out-of-reach places. Popping them up high, as in Jill’s kitchen at right, allows them to be seen but kept safe.
3 Don’t leave things languishing in a drawer.
It’s the quirky bits and bobs that can turn a room from ordinary to extraordinary – adding colour and intrigue, offering visitors a glimpse into your private world and providing you with daily inspiration or amusement. Put your collectables to use or find a safe way to display them.
4 Put things where you can enjoy them.
It makes sense to surround yourself with things that are meaningful. “I like objects that have a story,” says Jill. “A lot of my things are either made by me or by people I know. Some collections, such as my art deco chrome and ceramic teapots, started with one I was given by my partner’s mother. My kitchen is where I tend to spend a lot of time – arranging things in there means I get to enjoy them.”
5 Add a plate rack.
Simple to construct, they’re ideal for storing plates you want to see and have easy access to. “I try to collect things I can use – but you have to be prepared for some breakage,” says Jill.
6 Put like with like.
Gather similar items – such as all your vases, or all your white ceramics – in one place. Collections of three items or more create drama and convey a sense of order.
7 Play with shapes.
Stick with the colour scheme, but mix up tidy arrangements by juxtaposing textures and sizes (see left). Place items off-centre or try adding larger or smaller objects until you like what you see. Step back to assess the overall balance of your arrangement. “Move things around until they look right,” suggests Jill. “Small items can get lost in the wrong place. Be prepared to remove things if necessary.”
8 Group and sort.
Group similar-coloured or same-sized books and magazines. Reduce visual clutter by applying the same color scheme to your bookshelf as to the wider room.
9 Add variety.
Stack books both horizontally and vertically. Use heavy ceramic pieces as bookends, or create spaces between or in front of books for framed photographs (see above).
10 Exercise restraint.
Resist the urge to load up shelves with as many items as will fit. Find a secure place for large or unstable items.
11 Too many books?
Use books on tabletops to create different heights for the items you choose to display – or build a bookish sidetable using a stack of your sturdier titles.
12 Look for texture.
Use old and weathered surfaces, such as stylist Sally Fullam’s wooden chest, at right, to provide an interesting surface for mini collections. Sally’s collection is unified by all objects being pewter.
13 Display things in unlikely places.
Assemble quirky arrangements in otherwise dull utility rooms such as the laundry, toilet or bathroom (at left), or use a jar collection to store basic items such as laundry powder. This both maximises space and provides something pretty and whimsical to look at in these unexpected places.
14 Mix it up.
Make your arrangements look less contrived by mixing art and other precious collectables together with aesthetically pleasing objects from nature, such as bird’s nests (below), twigs, shells or driftwood.
15 Make your walls work.
Walls keep objects in view and (mostly) out of harm’s way – creating a less cluttered look and freeing up tabletops and other horizontal surfaces for productive purposes.
16 Store collections inside collections.
For instance, you might place small items such as shells or vintage buttons in a series of recycled jars. On a larger scale, a stack of suitcases offers an ideal place to store fabric, sewing projects, out-of-season clothes or extra bedding and blankets.
17 Eliminate the ugly.
Creating a look is as much about what you take away as what you leave on show. Scan the room to see what needs to go: if it’s not attractive, get rid of it or hide it away. Use covered boxes to store DVDs or small toys, and a chest or retro suitcase for larger things.
18 Put it away.
Not out of sight but away from dust. If dusting gets you down, pick up an old glass-fronted cabinet to fill with your best treasures. Alternately, pop smaller collections inside a Victorian glass dome or vintage glass cake platter.
19 Mix old and new – and tie them together by colour.
“A mantlepiece is perfect for displaying collections. It’s at a good height for visibility, but up out of the way from little hands,” says stylist Sally Fullam. “Or use a bay in your bookshelf for this purpose. Aim to create a pleasing overall shape that has height and clusters objects together.” On Sally’s mantlepiece (above), found objects such as birds’ nests and sea eggs are mixed with modern pieces such as a photo block and green cast glass tiki from The Poi Room. “Each piece tells a story and reminds me of my travels,” says Sally. “The broken green cup from a street market in Paris, the matching SylvaC leaf vases found in a hospice shop in Guernsey and the painting, which was a gift from local artist Katherine Powell.”
20 Know the difference between collectables and clutter.
Every home collects clutter and this daily detritus will quickly swamp your more attractive possessions. Likewise, if you indulge in unfettered collecting, the influx of stuff will soon take over any spare space. Remember that less is often more.
21 Relax and play a little.
Hang a crazy picture on a wall or prop up art or larger objects on the floor. Move things around after dusting objects and wiping surfaces. Avoid uptight, overly arranged displays. True style involves the confidence to be at ease and the most attractive homes reveal the personalities of those who live there – they’re full of spirit and joy.

Educational comics and A FREE common-core-aligned downloadable comic series about people, places, and events in US history.
The History of Halloween
lndigenous People’s Comic Collection
In The History of of Halloween, students will investigate the history of Halloween, one of the most widely celebrated holidays in the U.S., using a short comic and accompanying educational resources.
The unique history of Halloween dates back well over a millennium, originating with the Celtic tradition of Samhain. Over time, Halloween has transformed from a holiday marking the transition from summer harvest to colder winters, to a Christian commemoration of the dead, to a massively commercialized celebration in which children parade from door to door in costume collecting candy.
In The History of Halloween, Naveah and her two brothers learn about this history from two mysterious Jack-o’-lantern-headed figures who claim to have celebrated Halloween for centuries. Through their stories, the siblings learn the origins of many common Halloween traditions in the United States, including trick-or-treating, costumes, and Jack-o’-lanterns.
Download free history comics about the Trail of Tears, the legendary Chief Ouray, the Sand Creek Massacre, and the epic story of Mesa Verde and its peoples.
In Issue #32, A Tale of Sand Creek, read the tale of one family’s experience during the Sand Creek Massacre, when seven hundred members of the Colorado Territory Militia embarked on an attack of Cheyenne and Arapaho Indian villages.

Professor Jindřich Toman edited an anthology of the work of Roman Jakobson, Angažovaná čítanka Romana Jakobsona, which was published in November 2017 by Karolinum.
Here's the description from the publisher's website:
This anthology presents the famous literary research and linguist, Roman Jakobson (1896–1982) as an active participant and co-creator of the media environment in interwar Czechoslovakia and wartime emigration. Jakobson systematically sought to create a dialogue with the public, was involved in many critiques, discussions and arguments, while reflecting on the interconnection of science and politics. In his texts, written primarily for non-scholarly readers, he also outlines the agenda of new "avant-garde” Slavic studies, discusses the role of the heritage of St. Konstantin and St. Methodius in Czech history, and from his emigration in New York, he stresses the responsibility intellectuals have in the fight for occupied Czechoslovakia. The selection thus presents Roman Jakobson in the role of a public intellectual. The book contains a number of little known and in some cases even hitherto unpublished texts.
Congratulations on your new book, Jindra!
