Thus, they have indirectly influenced much of what I write about on this site. A medley of both fiction and nonfiction, these great reads challenged my internal status quo, opening my mind to new ideas and opportunities, and together they gave me a basic framework for living, loving, learning and working successfully. If you haven’t read these books yet, I highly recommend doing so.

Captain America's past comes to the present in sequel Star-spangled supersoldier Steve Rogers fought the good fight in World War II in the movie Captain America: The First Avenger, and is getting a full taste of modern-day politics and agendas in the sequel. Captain America: The Winter Soldier, in theaters April 4, 2014, catches up with Cap (Chris Evans) after he saves New York City in The Avengers and throws the Marvel Comics hero — clad in a spiffy new outfit — into the super-spy intrigue of S.H.I.E.L.D. with old friends Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) and Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson). The first trailer for the sequel is online at iTunes Thursday at noon ET/9 a.m. PT. Directors Anthony and Joe Russo are aiming for a 1970s thriller vibe akin to Three Days of the Condor, but they're not skimping on big, superhero sequences — Cap brawls in the tight confines of an elevator full of bad guys, for example, and a massive S.H.I.E.L.D.

Fudgey Rolo Cookies I’m experimenting again! I had to. I found Rolo Minis in the candy aisle and knew I had to bake them into something. They’re such perfect tiny vessels of caramel, allowing for many possibilities. Due to my crippling indecision, their destiny was determined by Trevor. Most Rolo cookies involve one standard sized Rolo, surrounded by chocolate cookie dough and baked. I looked at this and looked at my many little Rolos and decided I could take this concept to the MAXTREME. MAXTREME is a real word. But anyway, I TOOK IT TO THE MAXTREME with the help of an old recipe. I keep trying to type the word MAXTREME without using all caps, but the word only deserves caps. Instead of throwing heath chunks and pecans into the chocolicious cookie dough, I threw in little Rolos and chocolate chips. I can’t decide if this was a good or bad problem. However, you would have more Rolos in every cookie. Tough decision. This is going to take some experimenting and therefore many more caramel oozing cookies. Directions
Year In Review: The 11 Best Short Films of 2011 5. Blinky TM I so sincerely wish that Blinky was still online for public consumption – both for those who didn’t have the pleasure of seeing it and for those who wanted to watch it 54 more times. Fortunately, this sci-fi view into the world of a helpful, happy, slightly psychotic robot isn’t the last we’ll see of director Ruairi Robinson. 4. Diary Sadly, the world lost director and photojournalist Tim Hetherington when he was killed while covering the front lines of the Libyan Civil War. 3. Antique design and allegory rule the day with this story of a young boy drawn to the sinister owner of a new candy shop (played by Doug Jones). 2. Was there any doubt how high up this short from Dan Trachtenberg would place? 1. Pure. What was your favorite short film this year? Like these?
