Rescue is finally at hand for our Lost castaways! Or is it? 2007-06-03 20:01:06 The season 3 finale of Lost depicted the events that took place as our favorite castaways carried out Jack’s plan to simultaneously turn off Danielle Rousseau’s transmission, blow-up the others who were infiltrating their camp, and stop the jamming equipment in the underwater hatch.

Welcome To Me! 2007-06-01 12:30:00 Hello,
I am Jojo. I’ve decided to join the rest of the world and create a blog. I’ve dabbled in other online community based items before (ex. myspace, bebo, etc.), but found them somewhat limiting. So I broke down and signed up with Wordpress. So far, I really like it. I am in the set-up stages at the moment. I will be posting a large variety of items. The items with by sorta in a variety of ways: topic, keyword, and theme. You can access the keywords and topics available by the pull down menu on the right. The themes are divided by Jojo’s Pals. Thumbnails of each pal are located on the right. When you click on one, it will bring up all postings with-in that theme. While reading a posting you can also see which theme that article is stored in by the mini-reference thumbnail listed with-in the post. The themes will include:

Spritz Cookie Tips and Tricks 2007-06-06 20:02:18 Baking
1. When pressing, start with a chilled baking sheet. This will allow even heating when you go to bake.
2. Try using parchment under the cookies. This will cut down on clean up later! (especially if you use colored sugars to decorate)
3. Don’t chill the dough too long. If the dough is too hard, it will make pressing the cookies very difficult.
Decorating
1. Experiment with different flavors of cookies instead of using vanilla or lemon. Be careful!!! Some flavors will be more potent than others. Add a little bit at a time to taste. Some suggested flavors are: almond, peppermint( add some crushed-up peppermint candy to accent), rum, and orange.
2. Experiment with different icing flavors. A simple flavoring is to add a little bit of orange juice to your favorite icing and then drizzle over cookies once the are baked.
3.Use edible decorations to add ornaments to Christmas trees.
4. Use frosty looking glitter to make snow.
5. If you are having trouble having the sugar stick, br Read more:Cookie

Forza 2 Review 2007-06-07 18:22:09
I started playing Forza
2 about 1 week ago and I have to say I may be a little bit addicted. From the millions of ways to customize your car, to the ever-so-heated races, I find it very hard to put the controller down.
Here are some highlights:
Same Console Multi-Player Woes:
Though the game is oh-so fun, I wish they would do something about their same console multi-player race set-up. When racing multi-player on the same console, there is not a guest option allowing a friend to join you on a race through XBOX live. Many successful games have implemented this feature including Gears of War. It is nice option to have especially when you have a friend visiting. I do understand why XBOX does this. They want to get the most bang for their buck by pushing more people to sign-up for XBOX Live accounts. Of course, this wouldn’t be a big deal if you were able to add computer opponents to race against while off-line. However, if you race on the same console, you do not have that option
