![]() Coppen says these “have the best, most flattering shape” and are well worth the investment. We’re obsessed with the retro vibes of this pointelle panty, which is designed with a slight high-rise fit to avoid looking frumpy. What We Don’t Love: You have to wash them on a gentle cycle. What We Love: They’re retro but never frumpy. Size: XXS-4X | Colors: 10 | 100 Percent Cotton: Mixed with spandex | Style: Bikini | Organic: No If the brand were to make a tagless version, this would be the absolute perfect panty, but as it stands, it’s pretty damn close. It’s incredibly comfortable thanks to soft cotton and stretchy spandex, but there’s just one snag: The tag is scratchy, even if you try to cut it off as closely as possible. ![]() This bikini is similar to a classic Calvin Klein pair but with a cheekier style for those who prefer less coverage. And as with all SKIMS products, this one comes in sizes up to 4X, which is more inclusive than a majority of brands out there. Stylist and creative director Lauren Coppen is a huge fan of their cotton panties in particular, which she says offer a perfect fit and are made from long-lasting fabric. We have to hand it to co-founder Kim Kardashian - SKIMS has only existed for a handful of years, but it’s already a definite go-to for shapewear, loungewear, and underwear alike. ![]() What We Love: It’s incredibly comfortable and long-lasting, too. ![]()

![]() But one editor’s demerit is another solver’s lexicon. When editors review a puzzle submission, they mark it up-minus signs next to obscurities or variant spellings, check marks next to lively vocabulary. That crossword mainstays such as The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and The Wall Street Journal are largely written, edited, fact-checked, and test-solved by older white men dictates what makes it into the 15x15 grid and what’s kept out. But any pub-trivia attendee-exposed to categories on craft beer or things that smell like sourdough or whatever the emcee is into-will tell you that personnel is policy. Read tweets by Awkwafina or Olivia Wilde on learning that they’ve been immortalized in the black-and-white grid-it’s the bookish version of handprints on a slab outside Grauman’s Chinese Theatre. Hoelscher appeared, replied to Levy, and said she’d submitted the puzzle with no men, but wasn’t surprised when the Times editors changed that.Ĭrossword editors are strange arbiters of cultural relevance. Clues and answers that are stereotypically masculine are “general interest ” clues and answers that are stereotypically feminine are “niche” or “obscure” … We’re so far from that a few puzzles with exclusively women’s names wouldn’t get us there … “we acknowledge the systemic forces that threaten women, we speak up when we see those forces represented in crosswords, and we call on our community to do better.” Responding to Levy’s lament, a commenter wondered: “Why is it desirable/necessary to have women’s names predominate in crossword puzzles … I ignore the male/female body count.” Levy’s response was a perfect, full-throated call to arms for inclusivity in the crossworld:īecause women are underrepresented in puzzle content and creation. Alas, 66-Across, DEE, was clued as “Billy _ Williams,” not as the letter or the grade. “I went through looking for men’s names with mounting excitement: What if there weren’t any?” she wrote. Jenni Levy, an internist and a writer on the review site Diary of a Crossword Fiend, applauded how Hoelscher’s puzzle “passe the crossword Bechdel test.” But Levy bemoaned a “missed opportunity.” In comments sections on crossword blogs, alongside off-color jokes about hypothetical titles for a Melania Trump memoir, a debate raged. ![]() Some of the Times’ 600,000 digital-crossword subscribers finished Hoelscher’s puzzle with their thumbs, extending their solving streaks, and crossword bloggers (yes, they exist) favorably reviewed the puzzle’s theme, non-thematic vocabulary, and clues. ![]() Hoelscher posted a photo of the newspaper her husband rose early on his day off to buy, and veteran crossword constructors, as they’re called, offered congratulations in a Facebook group that develops constructors from underrepresented groups. Like lots of nerdy subcultures, the crossword puzzle has a buzzing ecosystem, and it whirred into action. It was Presidents’ Day the theme was memoirs by first ladies. Last month, Sally Hoelscher published her first crossword puzzle in The New York Times. ![]() ![]() ![]() Microsoft Windows 10 Pro Retail License 32/64 Bit Flash Drive (FQC-08788).

![]() As it continues to bake, the outside edge of the cookie will look dry and the wet spot in the middle shrinks. As the dough begins to bake, the butter starts melting - creating a shiny or "wet" look on the surface of the cookie. HOW DO I KNOW WHEN THEY ARE DONE? - Watch the surface of the cookie. I can get about 3 dozen cookies when I roll them at 1/4 inch thick and use a 3 inch wide cookie cutter. It depends on how thick you roll your cookies. HOW MANY COOKIES WILL THIS RECIPE MAKE? - The yield for this recipe varies. ![]() If you are someone who generally reduces salt in recipes - use unsalted butter. If you know you love things with just a little more salt - use salted butter. ![]() ![]() SHOULD I USE SALTED OR UNSALTED BUTTER? - If we're talking purely about science - it doesn't matter in this recipe. Mix a little at a time into the dry dough until the dough comes together again. Luckily, the solution to both of them is the same - Crack an egg into a bowl and whisk together. Next time you make this recipe, try starting with 1 cup less flour and adding flour until it's just right. I'm not saying you used more than the recipe calls for - but since this recipe is written by volume and not weight, you might be adding more flour depending on elevation and humidity. It's SURPRISING what a difference that makes.Ģ) Using too much flour. MY DOUGH IS TOO DRY! WHAT SHOULD I DO? - The two most common reasons for this dough turning out dry is:ġ) Not using large eggs. If it's very hot where you live and your butter was room temperature instead of just slightly softened - you might actually need to cool everything down in the fridge for 10 minutes before rolling out the dough. MY DOUGH IS TOO SOFT! WHAT SHOULD I DO? - If your dough is too soft, try adding a little more flour 1/2 cup at a time until the dough pulls away from the sides of the mixing bowl. The Vanilla Variation is a lighter cookie - both in color and texture The brown sugar gives it a light caramel flavor.kind of like a chocolate chip cookie without the chocolate chips! HOW IS THIS RECIPE DIFFERENT FROM THE VANILLA VARIATION? - The Vanilla 2.0 is slightly more dense and a little more chewy. If you roll to 3/8" thick, bake for about 10-12 minutes. If you roll to 1/4" thick, bake for about 7 minutes. If you are going to roll it out right away, add another half of a cup of flour so it will be thick enough to move from the rolling out surface to your baking sheet. (This happens at about 3 1/2 cups of flour for me.except in the winter time when it happens at 4 cups flour.) That's when you should stop if you are going to chill the dough overnight, or just wait for another day to bake it. Then add additional flour 1/2 cup at a time until the dough is no longer sticky and pulls away from the side of the mixing bowl. Is there a storm coming? That changes things. Differences in humidity will the change the amount of flour you should add. Different altitudes need different amounts of flour. Before you add the flour, let's have a little chat.Add the salt and baking powder and again with the mixing of the dough.Add the eggs and the vanilla and mix thoroughly. ![]() They make weird dents in your baked cookies. If you have any brown sugar lumps, you should crush them up or pull them out. ![]() ![]() As a teacher, if a student went to me about a major life problem, I could refer them to the school psychologist, but not so with this retreat. ![]() ![]() Some of the kids in the group talked about serious issues that warranted professional help. Perhaps for some it was a genuinely eye opening experience that taught them not to judge their peers before getting to know them. Dorks have to talk to popular kids, Jocks have to talk to the theate kids, overachievers have to talk to the delinquents. The staff and peer leaders purposefully arrange the small groups so that no one is with any of their close friends. The point is to be open and honest with your peers who you wouldn't ordinarly associate with at school or at youth group. The adult leaders and peer leaders have to lead the small group, which is supposed to be a judgment free zone where you can pour your heart out and talk about some of the real issues that you deal with every day. There are also hokey skits, cheesy worship songs, quiet reflection times, and small groups where each participant has an opportunity for "faith sharing" So a few of the adult volunteers do a talk, and each youth retreat leader gets to give a talk about their own relationship with God. The retreat has a series of talks by every youth volunteer usually personal testimonies centered around a theme. Who knows if the even believe the most basic teachings of the church. Who knows if they even attend mass regularly. The "peer ministers" are the ones who went on the retreat last year. The retreat is run by a team of adult volunteers (we were all in our 20's)and "peer ministers' they select to help direct the retreat. I'm surprised I even stayed Catholic after doing it. I never went to one as a kid (obviously) but I got roped into being involved in "music ministry" for one early on in my "faith journey." It's totally gay don't do it. It is youth retreat like a Cursillo or Cornerstone retreat but for high schoolers. ![]() ![]() The first Freedom Planet game had a low screen resolution as a nod to retro platforming, but as a result, the characters had to be drawn with exaggerated body proportions for easy readability.

Styluses with this option also tend to be a lot more compatible with drawing apps.Īll these features are great to have, and fairly essential if you're planning on using your iPad stylus for digital art. Wireless connectivity: Some of the above features require the stylus to be connected to your tablet, so it can be a great advantage to have a stylus that offers connectivity via Bluetooth or similar wireless technology. This allows you to vary line shape and thickness in a very intuitive manner, just as you would with a pen or pencil. It allows the tablet to detect the angle at which the stylus is being placed against the screen. Tilt sensitivity: like with pressure sensitivity, tilt sensitivity allows you to fine-tune your drawing. If you're planning to spend long sessions drawing, a stylus with palm rejection will make things much more fluid and comfortable. Without it, the tablet may get confused with the multiple input signals. Palm rejection: With palm rejection, you can rest your hand comfortably on the surface of the tablet while you're drawing without it impacting on your work, just as you would a piece of paper. Apple is notably quiet about how many levels its Pencil can detect, though it's clearly quite a few. Styluses with 2,048 distinct levels of pressure sensitivity are fairly common, but some offer as many as 8,192. In digital art, this is hugely important.ĭifferent styluses offer different levels of pressure sensitivity (as do different tablets). However, premium styluses with pressure sensitivity can detect how hard you're pressing and vary the thickness of the line accordingly. Cheaper styluses have only two states of operation – drawing a line, or not drawing a line. Pressure sensitivity: This is important for drawing and you'll see it mentioned a lot in our guide above. The terms below are the ones to look out for. However, if you want to use your iPad stylus to sketch or illustrate, then you'll want to consider paying more for more sophisticated features. If you want a stylus simply to navigate on your iPad and maybe take down notes, those two criteria may be enough. Of course, you also need a tip that won't scratch your screen, which is the reason why you should avoid super-cheap styluses from dodgy-looking websites. A good stylus should sit easily in your hand and be comfortable to use for long periods. A stylus is no good if using it is less comfortable than simply using your finger on the touchscreen. Which is the best iPad stylus for you? That depends a lot on your needs, but for most people, a comfortable hold is critical.
