THE CONVENTIONS ARE COMING! 
The Republican Convention begins next Monday, August 27th in Tampa. The Democrats will gather in Charlotte, NC a week later on Labor Day, September 3rd. Since we already know who the nominees are, they may not be as exciting as they used to be, but there are bound to be some surprises , as well as a few 'bloopers!' There will be extensive coverage of both conventions by several networks and streaming live coverage is also planned for your computer throughout the day. Prime time coverage will probably be limited to a couple of hours around 9 p.m., so check your local listings. Keynote speaker for the GOP will be Governor Chris Christie of NJ. The candidate's wife, Ann Romney will also speak and FL Senator Marc Rubio will introduce Mr. Romney. On the Dem's side, speakers will include Michelle Obama and former President Bill Clinton. Have you ever wondered why the political images feature a donkey and an elephant, rather than - say, a beautiful horse or a regal lion? You may be surprised at the answer in the post below!

 WHY THE DONKEY AND THE ELEPHANT?
The Donkey - Presidential candidate Andrew Jackson was the first Democrat ever to be associated with the donkey symbol. His opponents during the election of 1828 tried to label him a "jackass" for his populist beliefs and slogan, "Let the people rule." Jackson was entertained by the notion and ended up using it to his advantage on his campaign posters. But cartoonist Thomas Nast is credited with making the donkey the recognized symbol of the Democratic Party when it first appeared in a cartoon in Harper's Weekly in 1870. It was supposed to represent an anti-Civil War faction, but the public was immediately taken by it and by 1880 it had already become the unofficial symbol of the party.
The Elephant - The same political cartoonist, Thomas Nast, was also responsible for the Republican's elephant. In a cartoon that appeared in Harper's Weekly in 1874, Nast drew a donkey clothed in lion's skin, scaring away all the animals at the zoo. One of those animals, the elephant, was labeled "The Republican Vote." That's all it took for the elephant to become associated with the Republican Party. |

SURPRISING FACT!
In a recent survey by Bankrate.com, homeowners with mortgages were asked whether they had a fixed-rate or adjustable loan (ARM). A whopping 34% said they had no clue! If that many folks didn't know what kind of mortgage they were getting into, is it any wonder so many of them got into debt over their heads? |

 HAVE YOU WONDERED WHAT THESE IMAGES ARE?
Chances are that we have many FLASHERS who know what this puzzle like image is. We also suspect that many of you don't know what it is and more of you who know it has something to do with information you can access from you phone. However, how many know how it works. So....here's the scoop! This image is called a QR Code and it is a type of bar-code that can reveal a great deal of information.

EASY AFTER-SCHOOL HOME MADE TREATS
We all know that home-made treats can be tweaked to be more nutritious than those you purchased in the grocery store...Much more economical too! So why not make batches of different treats, freeze them and then pull a couple out to have ready when the kids get home from school? This also helps with portion control that will prove to be helpful for those little 'cookie monsters'. To make freezing easy, simply form your cookies into round balls and freeze them first on a cookie sheet. Transfer into ziplock bags once they have had a chance to freeze and hold their form.

RECIPE OF THE WEEK
OATMEAL ALMOND CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIES
A healthy cookie?...Well, sort of. They're full of protein, whole wheat flour, oatmeal and dark chocolate (which, you know...is good for you). Never-mind that it's a cookie! And you can freeze them, as in the post above.
Ingredients:
1 3/4 stick (14 tablespoons) unsalted butter
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup almond butter
1 1/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup ground almonds
1 1/2 cups old-fashioned oatmeal (not quick cook)
8 ounces semi-sweet or dark chocolate chunks or chips
Directions:
Line baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. Beat butter until creamy. Add sugars beating until fluffy, approximately 3 minutes. Scrap the bowl as necessary. Beat in almond butter until incorporated. Beat in vanilla and then eggs, one at a time.
Gently stir in the dry ingredients (I switched to the paddle on my kitchen aid mixer). Add ground almonds and oatmeal and stir until just incorporated. Stir in the chocolate chunks.
Roll cookies into 2 Tbs sized balls. Place on baking sheets and bake cookies for 10-12 minutes. Edges should be slightly browned and the cookies puffed. Cool on sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a cookie cooling rack.
Freeze any leftover cookie dough for later use.
