Has anyone here ever been in 1v1 matchmaking queue and the game found an opponent, started counting down, and then stopped suddenly and the game counted as a loss? I sat down today with the sole purpose of getting promoted to silver, something I figured would not be too hard considering I win almost every game I play. I won 6 out of 8 games today (three of which were against silver league players), and was on a 5 win streak, certain I would soon get promoted, when all of a sudden this !@#$ happened, and most likely nullified all that work.
It happened 3 times, and each time I lost 12 points, almost cancelling out my work from today. At this point it's looking like I'm going to be in bronze league forever.
tl;dr the game client dropped the ball, wasting 5 hours of my life, wanted to vent.
UPDATE: just happened again, after me winning two more games >:O
Playing any more is a game of russian roulette

This is happening with custom games as well, where it will say entering lobby for a few seconds then disappear. If anyone knows a solution, please let me know. I tried reinstalling and everything. Thanks!
Sounds like you have a legit issue there.

The 16th-century Portuguese poet, António Ribeiro was fondly known as 'Chiado', and it is from this source that one of Lisbon's most iconic districts takes its name. Easily identified by the statue of António Ribeiro that stands at the center of the square, Chiado is a must-visit on a trip to Lisbon. The area has retained its historic charm, and establishments like Restaurante Tavares have been in existence from the 18th Century. Although a fire raged through the district in 1988, it hasn't lost any of its appeal, and still remains one of the most popular shopping districts in the city. Rua Garrett and Rua Carmo are the two main shopping streets where you can find anything from apparel to pottery.

The newest luxury pool access villa in pattaya

Beautiful place with bad service!
Too small parking area. And I smell a bit of discrimination here. Luxurious cars are allowed to park where shouldn't. Not so impressed.
With this price, the service was extremely bad from the front desk to the breakfast, from the start to the end. Though, the room was luxurious.

FIRST AID GUIDELINES First Aid Management Emergency Assistance Key Requirements Role of First Aiders First Aiders Establishment Selection of First Aiders First Aid Kits First Aid Infection Prevention First Aid Management of Blood Spills Hazardous Exposure to Body Fluids by First Aiders Compliance Verification FIRST AID MANAGEMENT Emergency Assistance 1. 2. 3. First aiders are trained to treat minor injuries or illness. Medical assistance should be sought in the event of a serious in jury or illness either through security on 222 or directly through 000. A list of first aiders is provided on the emergency website. If there is no local first aider available ring security on 222 and ask a security officer to attend. Since first aiders are available at most worksites, they are normally the first called to treat minor injuries or illness. Key Requirements 4. 5. Deans and directors are responsible for ensuring that all staff, postgraduate and honours students for which they are resp onsible and any students undertaking research work, laboratory work or field trips, are aware of first aid arrangements. This includes providing first aid information at induction, issuing periodic reminders and maintaining a list of local worksite designated first aiders. Where practical, the list should be included in local telephone directories, safety manuals/guides and contact lists, attached to first aid kits and on emergency or safety notices posted in buildings. Managers and supervisors must provide sufficient number of first aiders and ensure all staff are aware of emergency arrangements including first aid. 6. Role of First Aiders 7. First aiders are to: 8. 9. 10. 11. provide emergency treatment of injuries or illness within their competency arrange the prompt and appropriate referral of injured persons to further medical assistance as required. First aiders shall attend first aid refresher training every three years within three months of the expiry date of their cert ification. First aiders are encouraged to attend Resuscitation (CPR) refresher training session every other year (that is, other than the years in which Certificate refresher training is undertaken). When renewal of certification falls due, designated first aiders may relinquish their position if desired. First aiders shall: monitor the contents of first aid kits in their area and report deficiencies to the Occupational Health and Safety Group (Human Resources Services Division) complete Accident and Hazard Reports when involved in first aid incidents allow their name and work contact information to be publicised within the University as a contactable first aider in emergency situations 12. advise the Occupational Health and Safety Group (Human Resources Services Division) of their relocation or resignation. All staff and students must comply with the instructions given by emergency response personnel such as emergency wardens and first aiders. First aiders may occasionally encounter reluctance on the part of an injured person or a person exposed to a hazardous situation to follow the directions of the first aider. This is more likely to occur if the person requiring first aid is distressed or in pain. If such a situation arises then the attending first aider will have to evaluate the risks to the injur ed/exposed person and the risks to others if appropriate first aid treatment is not administered. In rare circumstances, it may be necessary for first aiders to persuade injured persons to accept first aid. If first aid is refused, a first aider must respect this and document this fact. If first aid is refused where there is risk of serious injury or death involved or risk of spreading contamination then first aiders must inform Security immediately. A first aider may apply a minimal level of physical force in order to move an injured person to reduce risk of further injury if the person is unable to communicate and there is a risk of death or serious injury to the injured person or to others. Force shou ld not be used where the first aider themselves could be injured in applying such force. Such force should only be applied at the minimum level that would be necessary to ensure administration of a reasonable level of treatment or restraint bearing in min d all the circumstances of the particular emergency. First aiders that may be concerned or upset after a situation may seek assistance through the University Employee Assistance Program. 13. 14. 15. First Aider Establishment 16. Risk assessments to determine number, distribution and level of training of first aiders will relate to size, layout and location of the workplace, the number and distribution of staff and students, the nature and hazards of the work and the known occurrences of accidents and illnesses, taking into account the specific needs of different work locations and work practices across the University. Information about the availability of first aid and the distribution of first aiders is available from the OHS Unit The First Aid Establishment Schedule [insert link] lists the minimum required number of first aiders on a building basis. The number of first aiders required is set out in Table 1 (University premises) (link to off-campus guidelines for field trip requirements) 17. 18. 19. Table 1 : Number of first aiders required on University premises Workplace risk category Category 1 Example e.g. Property Services gardening staff, sports supervision, field trips [link to off-campus guidelines] technical staff*, foodhandling, childminding, printeries, stores, electrical workshops Number of first aiders required on University premises 1 Level-2 first aider at each site and 1 on call Category 2 1 Level-2 first aider at each site * in labs where more than 50 undergraduate students are doing practical work, there must also be an additional first aider on call/available 1 Level-2 first aider at each site where there is the possibility of 50 or more staff, students or members of the general public being in the same worksite or location at any one time and where the University is responsible for their welfare 1 Level-2 first aider available for every 50 staff members Category 3 staff responsible for students and the general public, including the Library, Student Residences, Student Services, Faculties and University halls/theatres administrative staff not directly responsible for the welfare of students or the general public on a regular day-to-day basis Category 4 Selection of First Aiders 20. Managers will select the required number of first aiders from suitable volunteers and, if practical, should select from those staff members who: are willing and enthusiastic to act as first aiders and have a high level of personal commitment to the task are able to communicate and relate well to other staff and act calmly in an emergency are in reasonable health are available in the same office location on a full-time basis, during normal business hours, and are able to be called away from their ordinary work at short notice.

Protective gloves must be worn for direct contact with blood, body fluids, mucous membranes or non-intact skin of any person and when handling items, equipment or surfaces contaminated with blood or other body fluids. Gloves must be worn when the first aider has cuts or other breaks in their own skin. Hands should be washed before removing gloves and then after the gloves are removed. Resuscitation masks should be used by first aiders while performing expired air resuscitation (EAR) and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The Management of Spills Involving Potentially Infectious Biological Materials Guidelines (insert link) shall be followed when disposing of used gloves and masks. When a first aider encounters a blood or body fluid spill the Management of Spills Involving Potentially Infectious Biological Materials Guidelines (insert link) shall be followed as appropriate. When exposed to blood or body fluids a first aider shall follow the Hazardous Exposure to Body Fluids Procedure (insert link). Standard precautions are work practices required for the basic level of infection prevention and (exposure) control. Standard precautions apply to the handling of blood and other body fluids/substances, regardless of whether they contain visible blood. For first aid, standard precautions include: use of gloves and resuscitation masks protection of damaged skin by covering with a waterproof dressing and gloves care of intact, normal skin hand washing. The wearing of gloves does not replace the need for hand washing; hands should be washed before putting gloves on, and again after gloves have been removed after attending to a patient or potentially infectious material. Hands should be washed thoroughly with soap and water immediately if contaminated with blood or other body fluids or if gloves have been torn or punctured. appropriate handling and disposal of sharps and other contaminated or infectious material or clinical waste containment of all blood and body fluids/substances, i.e. confining spills, splashes and contamination of the environment and workers to the smallest amount practicable 3 4 5 6 Standard Precautions 7 8 First Aid Training 9 First aid training shall include procedures for infection control. Accountabilities 10 The Occupational Health and Safety Unit (Human Resources Services) will: provide all approved first aid kits and as requested first aiders with disposable protective gloves; provide all approved first aid kits and as requested first aiders with resuscitation masks; pay the cost of Hepatitis B immunisation for first aiders; and 11 All University-designated first aiders will report all incidents involving blood or body fluid spills using the University Accident and Hazard Report (insert link). FIRST AID MANAGEMENT OF BLOOD SPILLS (INCLUDING SPILLS OF POTENTIALLY INFECTIOUS BIOLOGICAL MATERIALS) Introduction Responsibilities Reporting the Incident Protective Clothing Cleaning Spot Cleaning and Very Small Spills Small Spills (from 2 - 10 cm without sharps) Small Spills (up to 10 cm with sharps) Carpet Spills Porous Surfaces Large or Complex Spills Spill Kits Removal of Gloves Disposal of Waste Material References Introduction 1 2 Spilled blood and body fluids/substances may be encountered in many University settings. These spills should be attended to immediately. The basic principles of spills management are: Standard precautions apply where there is a risk of contact with blood and /or bodily substances. Spills should be cleaned up before the area is cleaned or disinfected. Adding cleaning liquids to spills increases the size of the spill and should be avoided. Collect the spill using absorbent material as the first stage. Generation of aerosols from, for example, hosing down the spilled material should be avoided. Cold or warm water should always be used for the first contact with blood or blood stained articles (hot water will make blood stick to the surface it is on). Dry the area so that it is not slippery. Responsibilities 3 Where practical, the safest approach is for the person who has spilt the blood to clean it up and dispose of any contaminated material appropriately. In the first aid context the following risk management approach will be used: If practical the patient should clean up any blood spills under the supervision of the first aider. If this is not practical, the first aider should evaluate the extent of the spill and decide whether to clean it up themselves o r ask for assistance. In most cases spot and small spills will be managed by the first aider. If the size or circumstances of the spill warrant, the first aider should contact Security (222) and ask that arrangements be made for a cleaner to attend. The first aider is responsible for securing the spill site and preventing any further risk of injury until the cleaning staff arrive. 4 Under these guidelines the following budget centres have responsibilities: Property Services Division Property Services Division will: Provide when requested cleaners trained to clean up spills involving blood and other biological materials Ensure Security officers are aware of the procedures covering blood spills Provide and maintain blood spill kits and sharps' containers at each Security and Property Services office on campus Division of Student Life The Division of Student Life will Where a health centre exists on the campus, provide and maintain a blood spill kit and sharps container that will be made available from the health centre to first aiders Where a health centre exists on the campus, provide biological waste disposal arrangements (in the absence of other arrangements) Provide and maintain a blood spill kit and sharps container at each residences and gymnasium/indoor sport areas complex Human Resources Services Division Human Resources Services Division will Pay for the purchase and maintenance of blood spills kits that are made available to first aiders Pay any additional costs involved in the disposal of biohazard waste generated by first aiders Reporting the Incident 5 First aiders must report all non-trivial blood/body fluid spills using the Accident/Hazard Report form (add link). Protective Clothing 6 First Aiders involved in cleaning must wear protective clothing, as a minimum disposable gloves, at all times. Where pools of liquid are present, eye protection should also be used. Cleaning 7 Procedures for managing blood and other body fluid/substance spills are dependent on the nature and size of the spill, as well as the location. In many instances, blood and body fluid spillage may be managed by cleaning with water alone, but in some areas / situations more thorough cleaning may be desirable. If practical, the patient whose blood has been spilled should clean up any blood spills under the supervision of the first aider. If this is not practical, the first aider should evaluate the extent of the spill and decide whether to clean it up themselves or to ask for assistance. In most cases spot and small spills will be managed by the first aider. If the size or circumstances of the spill warrant, the first aider should contact Security (222) and ask that arrangements be made for a cleaner to attend. The first aider must secure the spill site and prevent any further risk of injury until the cleaning staff arrive. The following should be followed in cleaning up spills of blood and other body fluids: Spot Cleaning and Very Small Spills (up to 2 cm diameter and where there are no sharps present such as broken glass): Wear disposable gloves. Wipe up the spill as soon as possible with a tissue or paper towel. A damp cloth should only be used if there is no other choice. Then clean the area of the spill with warm (not hot) water and if available, detergent / liquid soap. Discard contaminated materials (tissue, paper toweling) as biological waste if possible. If not possible, soak in warm (not hot) water, gently squeeze dry before putting into plastic bag, sealing the bag and disposing in general waste. If the gloves are not going into biological waste, wash your gloved hands in water using soap before taking them off and dispose of them in general waste. Take off gloves using the procedure below and dispose of gloves as per other contaminated materials. Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water. 8 9 10 11 Small Spills (from 2 - 10 cm diameter and where there are no sharps present such as broken glass): In most cases a spill kit will not be necessary, however if needed obtain from Security or Health Services. Wear disposable gloves. Eye protection and plastic apron contained in a spill kit should be worn where there is a risk of splashing occurring. Cover spill as soon as possible with absorbent material (for example, paper hand towelling) and allow liquid to soak in. Then wipe up as soon as possible with absorbent material. Place contaminated absorbent material into impervious container or plastic bag for disposal as biological waste. Clean the area with warm water and detergent / liquid soap using paper toweling, disposable cleaning cloth or spo nge. Dry the area of the spill thoroughly Where contact with bare skin is likely in future, such as in a bathroom, contact Security (222) and arrange for a cleaner. Discard contaminated materials (absorbent towelling, cleaning cloths, and plastic apron) as biological waste Take off gloves using the procedure below and dispose of gloves as per other contaminated materials. Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water. Reusable eyewear should be cleaned with soap and water before reuse.

Local managers and supervisors are responsible for managing any accidental exposure and ensuring that the management procedures have been followed through. General Operational Response 3 Where accidental contact occurs with human blood or other body fluids, immediately: remove contaminated clothing wash hands, lower arms and any other bodily parts in contact with, or splashed by the material. Thorough washing with soap or water is adequate if the eyes are contaminated, rinse eyes gently but thoroughly for up to five minutes with warm water or normal saline solution while the eyes are open if the material gets in the mouth, spit it out and then rinse the mouth with water several times. 4 Where an open wound is involved (for example from a needle stick injury or other sharps), immediately: remove contaminated clothing immediately flush the wound under running water wash the wound using warm water and liquid soap (except where it involves the eyes, mouth and nose). Alcohol-based hand rinses/foams [60-90% alcohol by weight] should be used when water is not available. rinse the eyes, mouth and nose (if affected) thoroughly with warm water (without soap) or saline thoroughly pat-dry the area apply a sterile waterproof dressing (such as an adhesive plaster), as necessary, and applying pressure through the dressing if profuse bleeding is still occurring seek medical advice. 5 6 If a needle, syringe or other sharp was involved, carefully place it in a rigid-walled container and take it with you to the campus nurse or doctor. Do not attempt to cover the needle or sharp because you run the risk of further injury. Report the incident immediately to your supervisor or the campus nurse. Complete an Accident/Hazard Report form. Include the name of the source individual (if known), the date and time of exposure and how the incident occurred Risks with Exposure 7 The following exposures are classified as serious and appropriate care and follow up must be provided. Massive Exposure transfusion of blood injection of large volume of blood/body fluids (> 1ml) parenteral exposure to laboratory specimens containing high titre of virus intramuscular penetrating injury with a needle contaminated with blood or body fluid injection of blood or body fluid not included under 'Massive Exposure' laceration or similar wound that causes bleeding and is produced by an instrument that is visibly contaminated with blood or body fluid any direct inoculation with HIV/ Hepatitis B / Hepatitis C not included above - this refers to accidents in research settings. intradermal ('superficial') injury with a needle contaminated with blood or body fluid a wound not associated with visible bleeding produced by an instrument contaminated with blood or body fluid prior (not fresh) wound or skin lesion contaminated with blood or body fluid mucous membrane surface contact with blood.

Intact skin visibly contaminated with blood or body fluid. Non-Parenteral Exposure Supervisor of Affected Person 9 When a first aider has suffered a serious exposure or has any concerns about the exposure, the supervisor or manager of the area shall: 10 ensure the person is assessed and managed as in paragraphs 3 and 4 ensure the exposed area has been washed thoroughly find out whether a known source individual is involved in the incident arrange for the person to see the campus doctor or nurse immediately accompany the affected person to the nurse/doctor and ensure, if applicable, the nurse/doctor is provided with the sealed contained with the sharp inside ensure an Accident/Hazard Report [link] with details of date and time of the incident and how the incident happened has been completed. A copy of the report must be kept in the local accident register and a copy provided to the campus nurse or treating doctor complete a Manager Accident Analysis Report [link] If the campus doctor/nurse is not available then arrange as soon as possible for the first aider to arrange medical assessment and counselling at either: Geelong Hospital STD Unit, (03) 5226 7111 Box Hill Hospital Accident and Emergency, (03) 9895 3333 Royal Melbourne Accident and Emergency (03) 9342 7000 Alfred Hospital Accident and Emergency, (03) 9276 2000 South West Health Care - Warrnambool campus, (03) 5563 1666. (the affected person may chose to consult their own general practitioner) 11 Reassure the first aider that only a small proportion of accidental exposures to blood result in infection. Campus Nurse (Treating Doctor) 12 If the first aider has suffered a serious exposure, it is important that you make sure immediate steps are taken to reduce the risk to the first aider of contracting a serious illness. The role of the campus nurse is to: ensure that the exposed area has been washed thoroughly arrange a referral of the affected person to a medical expert as soon as possible for HIV/Hepatitis serology, treatment as appropriate and counselling ensure an Accident/Hazard Report [link] has been completed with source individual details if known, date and time of exposure and how the incident occurred (for example, whether affected person had been stabbed by a syringe or other sharp or had been splashed) Records 13 14 15 All parties must ensure that the confidentiality of affected and source persons' records are maintained.

Source Individual 16 17 It is important that the source individual be identified and informed consent gained so that they can be tested for HIV, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C. If the source individual is found to be negative, then no further action regarding testing is generally necessary. This may not be true where the source individual was at high risk of infection at the time of the exposure due to the delay between exposure and detection. Post Exposure Follow-up 18 Where the source tests positive or is unknown: the person concerned should be counselled regarding the risk of infection and should be clinically and serologically evaluated for HIV antibody, Hepatitis B surface antigen and Hepatitis C antibody for suspected HIV exposure, immediate commencement of prophylactic treatment should be considered by the treating medical officer. Further testing and counselling may be necessary depending on the initial results for suspected Hepatitis exposure, the immunisation status of the person needs to be assessed and appropriate action taken. Appropriate counselling should also be offered.

The University will bear the cost of any post incident monitoring of the affected staff member if the work related incident is not covered b y the WorkCover or Medicare schemes. In the case of a student suffering exposure as a result of a University activity, the Faculty concerned will bear the cost of any post incident monitoring of the affected student not covered by the Medicare system or the relevant student association insurance policy. Where affected parties are neither staff members nor students the matter may come under the University's Public Liability Insurance.

Wim Crouwel
Born in the Netherlands in 1928, Wim Crouwel trained at the Art Academy Minerva (1946–49) and after completing his military service, started his professional life as an abstract painter. He studied at the Amsterdam Art Academy (1952–53) and during that time joined an exhibition design firm (1952), where he gained his first experience of the possibilities of graphic design. Inspired by Swiss design, in 1954 he stopped painting and sought work as a freelance designer in Amsterdam.
During the 1950s, Crouwel traveled to Switzerland, meeting with other designers and witnessing the emerging International Style. An avid proponent of international debate, he became the first general secretary of the International Council of Graphic Design Associations (Icograda) in 1963. In the same year, Crouwel, product designer Friso Kramer, and architect and graphic designer Benno Wissing, together with Paul and Dick Schwarz, founded Total Design, the Netherlands' first multidisciplinary design studio, which was to become a dominant force in Dutch design. Through their work, Crouwel and his colleagues had significant influence on the national and cultural identity of the Netherlands. Crouwel's portfolio ranges from postage stamps for the Dutch Post Office (1968) to an extensive body of work for the Stedelijk Museum (1964–85)—all testimony to his achievements in the refinement and application of the grid. Crouwel is also especially recognized for his innovative systematic approach to design thinking. In 1967, as a response to early digital typesetting, he designed the experimental typeface New Alphabet (in the permanent collection of The Museum of Modern Art, New York), devising a matrix within which letterforms were constructed as units on a grid.
In 1972, Crouwel became a part-time professor at Delft Technical University (TU Delft), and in 1980 he left Total Design when he was appointed a full-time professor at TU. In 1985 he was named Director of the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam. He consolidated his longtime commitment to education in assuming the Private Chair at Erasmus University, Rotterdam (1987–93).
Wim Crouwel holds a number of honorary positions, including Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (OBE); Knight of the Order of the Dutch Lion; Honorary Royal Designer for Industry, UK; Honorary Fellow of the Society of Typographic Designers, UK; and Honorary Member of the Deutsche Werkbund. His work, which has received many European design awards, has been exhibited internationally, most recently in the 2011 retrospective "Wim Crouwel: A Graphic Odyssey" at the Design Museum, London and the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam.
Crouwel's achievements are the subject of several books, including Wim Crouwel Alphabets by Kees Broos and David Quay (2003) and Wim Crouwel: Mode en Module by Frederike Huygen and Hugues Boekraad (1997). His lectures and essays have been collected in Wim Crouwel: In His Own Words, edited by Toon Lauwen (2010).

Unlike lesions associated with mild-to-moderate forms of acne vulgaris that present on or near the skin's surface, nodular acne spots form well underneath the skin and are characterized by large hard bumps. They can be extremely painful and linger for months and, if left untreated, may even flare up again in the same place. Because nodular acne typically leaves scars in its wake, it is not recommended that these types of lesions be squeezed as it may cause the nodules to linger even longer.
What Are the Causes of Nodular Acne?
Acne is a skin condition that most people experience at some point of life, typically the teenage years, when hormones that encourage breakouts are running high. Unfortunately, all types of acne are not the same. Acne can range in severity from simple blackheads and whiteheads that are easily treated with a good skin care regime and prescription topical creams, to a more severe and pervasive form of acne that forms under the skin. Nodular acne, a severe form of acne vulgaris, can require intensive dermatological treatment.
What Is Nodular Acne?
How Nodules Form
According to the Mayo Clinic, acne is the result of three factors: sebum overproduction, bacteria buildup and shedding of dead skin cells that irritate hair follicles in the skin. The follicles of hair in the skin are connected to the sebaceous glands--glands that produce the oil that lubricates and protects the skin. When the body produces excess sebum, it doesn't have time to travel along the hair shaft and onto the skin's surface. Instead, hair follicles become plugged with sebum and dead skills. If this blockage takes place deep inside the hair follicle rather than closer to the skin's surface, nodular acne is the result.
Other Causes
Acne of any type is typically the result of hormonal changes and fluctuations. Changes in hormones are common in teens, pregnant women and females two to seven days before a menstrual period begins. People who use certain medications, such as cortisone, may also experience increases in hormone levels. But there are other factors that contribute to acne as well, including factors of heredity. If your parents had acne, you have a greater chance of having it as well. Additionally, plying oily or greasy topicals to the skin (including certain cosmetics) can have an effect on breakouts.
Treating Nodular Acne
While topical creams work well for mild-to-moderate forms of acne, nodular acne usually requires more aggressive therapy. Oral antibiotics may be prescribed to fend off bacteria and reduce inflammation. But even antibiotics may not be enough. A treatment regime called isotretinoin, which goes by the brand name of Accutane, is often prescribed for patients with deep nodular acne. While this is a very effective treatment plan, it must be closely monitored by a dermatologist because of the numerous side effects that can present. Accutane cannot be taken by women who are pregnant or who intend to become pregnant because the drug can damage the fetus. Accutane can also increases liver enzyme levels, and some patients develop inflammatory bowel disease after its use.
Nodular Acne and Surface Scarring
Because nodular acne generally results in surface scarring, patients may want to consider laser and light-based therapy. This treatment also penetrates the deep layers of the skin, causing the sebaceous glands to produce less oil. This treatment also reduces the appearance of scarring. Therefore, it's an ideal treatment for patients with both active acne and scarring. Other ways of reducing nodular acne scarring include dermabrasion, laser resurfacing and injection of collagen or fat into the scars.

RECIPE: looking for recipes
hi all
i am looking for recipes, for things we never thought we could make>>>>>>such as
4 envelopes unflavored gelatin
3 c. granulated sugar
1 1/4 c. light corn syrup
1/2 tsp salt
1 Tbsp vanilla extract
powdered sugar for slicing
-In large saucepan over medium high heat, combine 3/4 c. water, sugar and corn syrup.
-Meanwhile, in bowl of stand mixer place 3/4 c. water and sprinkle gelatin on top, let plump.
-Bringing sugar mixture to boil, place candy thermometer in middle of mixture, making sure not to touch the side or bottom of the pan and let keep a rolling boil until mixture passes 235 degrees, about 3-5 minutes.
-With mixer on low, carefully pour sugar mixture into mixer bowl and slowly raise beater to high speed.
-Beat sugar mixture on high for five minutes and then add vanilla. (If you'd like to add other flavors here like peppermint, color, or cocoa powder for chocolate, add now).
-Continue beating mixture for an additional 5 minutes.
-Meanwhile, oil a 9x13 pan for large marshmallows or two 10x10 pans for small marshmallows.
-When done beating, pour sugar mixture into pan(s), smooth top and tap to release extra air.
-Leave on counter overnight to form.
-Generously sprinkle working surface with powdered sugar, turn out marshmallow mixture, generously sprinkle with powdered sugar, and cut as desired, lightly coating marshmallow shapes with powdered sugar to avoid sticking.
9x13 pan makes about 96 large marshmallows that can be stored in a container for about a week.
the long lost Linda in Tennessee
Hi Linda!
I love homemade marshmallows.
I tried this recipe for Peppermint Patties last year. Everyone loved them! Very easy!! I didn't write down the source (I found it online somewhere)...I feel terrible not being able to credit it...but it IS good!
Peppermint Patties
24 servings
Total time: 4¾ hours Actual prep time: 45 min prep
14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
1 tablespoon peppermint extract
6 cups powdered sugar
24-32 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
4-6 tablespoons shortening
1. Combine the sweetened condensed milk and peppermint extract.
2. Slowly add the powdered sugar and beat.
3. Knead on a surface sprinkled with more sugar until dough is stiff.
4. (The stiffer the better when it come to the dipping part!) Add more sugar while kneading if the dough is sticky.
5. Roll 1/4 inch thick.
6. Cut into approximately 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 inch circles. If they are much bigger than that they fall apart when you dip them.
7. Let the cut patties dry for at least 2 hours on *each* side. They need to be really dry.
8. Melt chocolate & shortening it a double boiler; stirring constantly until smooth. Using 1 Tbls of shortening for every 6 oz. of chocolate. Keep chocolate hot for dipping.
9. Dip patties in melted chocolate. Place them on a long 3-tined fork, put them in the chocolate (it should be no more than 1 1/2 inches deep), flip them over to coat the other side, lift them out again with the fork underneath the patty, shake the fork to shake off the excess chocolate & then place the patty on waxed paper to harden.
I ran across a recipe for jellied cranberry sauce a couple of years ago, & had to laugh at myself. It had never occurred to me that it could be made at home. I'm a product of the 50s & 60s when premade was the thing!
Jellied Cranberry Sauce
Makes about 3 1/2 cups
4 (12-oz) bags cranberries, thawed if frozen
3 cups sugar
3 1/3 cups cold water
2 Tbsp unflavored gelatin (from three 1/4-ounce envelopes)
Special equipment: a 3 1/2-cup non-reactive decorative mold or 10 individual (1/3-cup) decorative molds
Bring cranberries, sugar, and 3 cups water to a boil in a 4- to 5-quart heavy saucepan, stirring until sugar is dissolved, then reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, stirring occasionally, until all berries have burst, 10 to 15 minutes.
Pour into a large fine-mesh sieve set over a 2-quart glass measure or a bowl and let stand until all juices have drained through, about 30 minutes. If necessary, press on solids until there is enough juice to measure 3 cups, then discard solids.
Stir together gelatin and remaining 1/3 cup water and let stand 1 minute to soften.
Bring 1 cup drained cranberry liquid to a simmer in a small saucepan, then add gelatin mixture and stir until just dissolved. Add gelatin mixture to remaining cranberry liquid and stir well.
Pour cranberry sauce into lightly oiled mold and chill, covered with plastic wrap, until firmly set, at least 12 hours.
To unmold, run tip of a thin knife between edge of mold and cranberry sauce. Tilt mold sideways and tap side of mold against a work surface, turning it, to evenly break seal and loosen cranberry sauce. Keeping mold tilted, invert a plate over mold, then invert cranberry sauce onto plate.
Cooks' notes:
ÂCranberry sauce can be chilled in mold up to 2 days.
ÂCranberry sauce can be unmolded 1 hour ahead and chilled or kept at room temperature.
I'm looking for a recipe for BBQ chicken I ate at an aunt's house when I was a child. She had a lady to come in to clean for her once a week and she would make supper for them. My aunt has gone home to be with the Lord now and so has the other lady. This was back in the 50's so it was made with ingredients from then. It was baked and almost black (not burned, but black with the BBQ sauce). It was SO tender and had the best taste. Thank you.
