Food or Drink Theme Color Book Images
Who says cooking can't be funny? No, I'm not talking smoke alarm pizza, more like Scalped Potatoes with an embarrassed hotdog as the barber instead of scalloped potatoes and hot dogs. When I think of sweet and sour pork I see a grumpy pig and a sweet tempered pig. Split peas? Not for me, how about a pod of peas splitting the scene. I don't know about anyone else but I sure had fun with this little project.
Most of the food images are fairly recent and more utilitarian in nature, however, so they can be applied to embroidery and other art projects. Make food pyramid lesson plans or face masks so kids can literally wear their food. Could be a fun and educational time for all.

Samsung on Region lock: you need 5 min of voice calls
Samsung introduced the controversial Region lock with its Galaxy Note 3 phablet and that caused quite a stir the idea of being unable to use your unlocked device with some SIM cards sounded most unpleasant.
Samsung quickly clarified that this Region lock has been implemented to stem the grey market imports and that it goes away if the first SIM card you use is from the region you bought the device from. After that you can pop in a SIM card from a different region and it should work as expected.
It turned out this wasnt quite all there is to it, though. Samsung Germany added the additional clarification that you have to use the SIM card from the correct region to make at least 5 minutes worth of voice calls (it doesnt matter if it's incoming or outgoing calls).
It doesnt have to be a SIM from the country where you got your Note 3 either, what's important is that a European Note 3 does 5 minutes of voice calling using a SIM from a European carrier (here "Europe" refers to the EU and the European Economic Area, not the geography term, see below).
If you're still having problems with the Region lock, you can visit the regional Samsung Care center to have it deactivated. You can call the center at 0.60/minute from a cell, 0.20/minute from a landline, but it's not clear if the actual unlocking will cost anything and if yes, how much.
Note that the Region lock is implemented in the Android 4.3 software that many Samsung phones are receiving at the moment, including the Galaxy S4, S4 mini, S III and Note II. So, keep that in mind before you hit Update.
If you already have and for some reason the official unlock method isn't working (and you can't visit a Samsung Care center), you can also go the XDA route if you have a rooted phone.
Countries in the European Economic Area (EEA):
Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania , Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, UK, Switzerland, Croatia
Non-EU/EEA countries:
Albania, Andorra, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia, Moldova, Monaco, Montenegro, San Marino, Serbia, Vatican City

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has launched a $2 million Tall Wood Building Prize Competition, following a funding initiative announced by the Obama Administration and the U.S. forestry industry through the Softwood Lumber Board (SLB) and Binational Softwood Lumber Council (BSLC) earlier this year.
Its goal is to link rural U.S. technical expertise and products with evolving domestic and international market opportunities to showcase the application and sustainability of wood-based structural building materials. The competition seeks to identify proponents with building project(s) in the concept-, schematic-, or design-development stage that can safely and successfully demonstrate wood as a viable structural material in tall buildings. Beyond the safety, environmental, and economic benefits of wood, the initiative intends to challenge developers, designers, building officials, builders, and manufacturers to further develop and refine specification and use of structural wood products to expand opportunity for new product and market development.
Creation of taller wood buildings is becoming a trend internationally. In Ontario, the building code was recently changed to permit six-storey wood-framed buildings. (For more, see a recent Construction Canada article. Other examples exist around the world, explains Marc Brinkmeyer, SLB board chair.
"In recent years, we've seen a number of buildings over seven stories constructed around the world, including the 10-story Forte building in Melbourne, Australia and the 14-story Treet building in Bergen, Norway," he said. "The opportunity to learn from what's been done elsewhere, and build on it here is very exciting for our industry, our employees, and communities."
Submissions meeting the competition's criteria will be evaluated by an expert panel of design and building professionals. For more information, visit www.tallwoodbuildingcompetition.org.

The Oxford Centre for Methodism and Church History, Oxford Brookes University, and the Manchester Wesley Research Centre have worked in partnership for several years, most significantly in organising a successful international and interdisciplinary conference in 2009, 'Religion, Gender, and Industry: Exploring Church and Methodism in a Local Setting'.
The two Centres have established a bi-annual seminar series which take place in the spring [Oxford] and autumn [Manchester]. These seminars provide an opportunity for established and emerging students of Methodist Studies to present the findings of their research and scholarship. We conceive of Methodist Studies broadly and aim to provide opportunities for students of history, theology, literature, art, material culture and other fields related to Methodism.
The next seminar will be in Manchester on Saturday 6 December. A draft programme is available here. The next Oxford seminar will be on Saturday 18 April 2015.
The inaugural seminars were held in April 2012 in Oxford and December 2012 in Manchester, and the 2013 seminars in April 2013 in Oxford and November 2013 in Manchester. A programme for the April 2014 seminar can be found here.
Call for Papers
Papers delivered at the seminars can be considered for publication in Wesley and Methodist Studies, which is sponsored by the two Centres.
For enquiries relating to Oxford seminars contact Dr Peter Forsaith: email@example.com
Proposals for 20-30 minute papers for the December 2014 Manchester seminar are now being accepted until 15 September. Proposals should include a paper title and short abstract of the paper (ca. 250 words), and be sent to Dr Geordan Hammond: firstname.lastname@example.com

Publisher's Description
This book is a clear treatment, in nontechnical language, of the person and work of Jesus Christ, especially focusing on the nature of atonement. The chapters are arranged around several central questions: Who is Jesus? What do the Bible and the church tell us about him? Just what is in the nature of the salvation he offers, and how does it work? Most of all, what difference do the answers to these questions make for the church and for the world?
The Foundations of Christian Faith series enables readers to learn about contemporary theology in ways that are clear, enjoyable, and meaningful. It examines the doctrines of the Christian faith and stimulates readers not only to think more deeply about their faith but also to understand their faith in relationship to contemporary challenges and questions. Individuals and study groups alike will find these guides invaluable in their search for depth and integrity in their Christian faith.

The Happen-ins & Colourmusic at The Vanguard Center of The Universe Stage
The Happen-Ins, Colourmusic
The Vanguard
222 North Main Street
Tulsa, OK, 74103
Doors 5:00 PM / Show 11:00 PM
From Austin, TX. Formed in early 2009 the Happen-Ins are not the mythical lovechild of the Blues and R&B but instead enthusiastic torch carriers of the sound. Comprised of former members of the Dedringers, Sean Faires and John Michael Schoepf with Lomita frontman Ricky Ray Jackson and joined later by Harlem Spiritual Orchestra Drummer, Falcon Valdez its no surprise that the Happen-Ins offer up a sound that blurs the lines between classic taste and youthful filth. Brimming with infectious melodies, bacon greased guitars and sweaty hip shaking swagger the Happen-Ins Self Titled Debut comes short on neither tender nor spank. This collection is a veritable mobile house party of analog gems.
Welcome to the beautifully strange world of Colourmusic, a place where concept albums - an LP named My _____ is Pink in this case-have nothing to do with structured narratives or loosely-linked lyrics. More like musical walls that must be climbed, whether that means shunning acoustic guitars or modeling the rhythm section of some songs after metronomic sex acts.
Which isn't as titillating as it sounds. The way Hendrix sees it, "We wanted to focus on human sexuality and reproduction. Not in terms of turning people on; from a point of view of fear and anxiety, and how it's the prominent decision-making force in many people's lives."
That explains a couple things, starting with My _____ is Pink's actual sound. Rounded out by bassist Colin Fleishacker, drummer Nicholas Ley, and guitarist Nick Turner, Colourmusic's new material amounts to an everevolving mass of melancholic melodies, gauzy vocals, shifty beats, and monophonic musical structures. Not to mention glimpses of agnostic gospel grooves ("You For Leaving Me"), hip-shaking R&B ("Feels Good To Wear"), acid-drenched pop ("Tog"), and Bladerunner-inspired psych ("Pororoca," which means - quite tellingly -"great destructive noise" in many parts of South America).
And then there's "The Little Death," a five-part foray into the outer realm of sandblasted rock, subterranean drone tones, and the kind of headphoneready hooks that cause weak-willed speakers to spontaneously combust. Like a yellow brick road to the second circle of hell (lust, if you haven't visited Dante's Inferno in a while), it's a ten-minute guide to what makesColourmusic tick. Well, sort of. Truth be told, the Oklahoma-based band isn't spelling anything out.
"If you write a song that's too literal, it dates it," explains Hendrix. "We'd rather make things a little more subconscious. It gives a song a longer life span because you never know what's really going on."
"The music tells us what the song is going to be about," says Hendrix. "Once we have a drum beat, it's alive. And once we come back to it, it's basically beckoning us to finish it."

History of the 1995 - 2002 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
Mercedes-Benz's mid-grade E-Class underwent a complete makeover at the end of 1995 when the W210 series appeared as a replacement for the W124 series that had been in production since 1986. This Steve Mattin/Bruno Sacco styled car sparked controversy upon its unveiling when it appeared with a round headlight front fascia that some compared to previous Jaguar offerings. Acceptance of the new E-Class quickly followed, however, and a minor styling update appeared partway through the seven-year production run for the 2000 model year.
A multitude of engines were offered throughout production with U.S. buyers initially having a choice of two inline sixes: a 3.2-liter gas version with 217 horsepower or a 3-liter diesel motor with 134 horsepower, both sending power to the rear wheel via a four-speed automatic or a rare five-speed manual. Changes for 1997 included a new five-speed automatic transmission as well as an available 286-hp, 4.2-liter V-8 that was borrowed from the S-Class.
The 1998 model year saw sweeping changes with reintroduction of the 4Matic all-wheel-drive system as well as replacement of all existing engines. The 3-liter diesel gained a turbocharger while the gas offering became a V-6 with 4 more horsepower than the I-6 it replaced. Finally, the 4.2-liter V-8 was replaced by a 4.3-liter V-8 with 275 horsepower. These engine choices endured through the previously mentioned facelift in 2000 until the end of production in 2002. Performance-minded European buyers could opt for AMG versions starting with the E36 and E50 in 1997, while the E55 joined the lineup in 1998 with a 5.5-liter V-8 that produced 349 horsepower. The E55 was also available in the U.S.
Body choices for this series of E-Class were limited to sedans until 1998, when station wagons were introduced. The wagons were only available with the 3.2-liter engine.
Normal depreciation as well as a reputation for being the last of the tank-like and "overbuilt" Mercedes models conspire to make these cars attractive for enthusiasts as well as those looking for a solid European-built daily driver. Potential problems include rust, electrical issues, and failed motor mounts, however good online support networks exist to address these areas.

Some review.
Graphikzking ( 406 ) May. 2, 2011 at 8:14am
What isn't this getting more attention?
$380 seems pretty nice. Combined with Discover shop rewards for 5% back and it negates the taxes.
So basically $383 for me.
What is the difference between dm1 and dm1z?? I can't seem to find any fault with this thing.
candlejack ( 47 ) May. 2, 2011 at 8:18am
95% of this laptop is very nice. After owning the dm1z for 2 months however, I could not live with the touchpad, it jumps everywhere when I type. I can't stand the HP touchpad on this series.
Make sure you utilize the 2 weeks you have to try it out and make sure it won't bother you.
justifidejoe ( 10 ) May. 2, 2011 at 11:07am
Also, I couldn't tell a difference between the dm1 and dm1z. Same specs as far as I can tell.
OK... it is not a netbook BUT Terrible cheap screen, lousy touchpad, poor performance. Yada yada yada.
I would say... AMAZING IF IT HAD A i3, but it has a VERY LOW LEVEL AMD CPU
shadowghost6 ( 13 ) May. 2, 2011 at 12:44pm
Jesus christ what is wrong with people like you.
It's a full featured ultraportable notebook that handles the needs of 99% of people out there. It has a decent sized keyboard, good battery life, and is much faster than most Atom based netbooks for $380. Not everyone wants to spend $800+ for a second or third computer. Some people will whine about anything.
This is a good deal. Thumbs up.

I was looking at the R 25 for a tactical long gun, but dont have any first hand experience with it so any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Fairly expensive but looks cool. I haven't shot one so can't give first hand experience other than holding one in the LGS.
I imagine the quality is on the level of Bushmaster and DPMS since they're all under the same ownership.
The biggest issue with assembling an AR isn't so much getting the parts together right - it's getting the right parts together. You'll remember the quality of a gun long after you forget how much you paid for it.
US Army 1966-69, VFW Life Member, Retired Geek
Thank you for the input, I agree its a little on the pricey side, I do like that you can get it in .308 I'm always open to suggestions if anyone knows of any more economical tactical long guns.
Its a bushmaster with a remington stamp from what i understand remington isnt making them. I could be dead wrong but i think they just jack the price of the bushmaster/dpms up a bit with the remington label
"Gun control: The theory that a woman found dead in an alley, raped and strangled with her panty hose, is somehow morally superior to a woman explaining to police how her attacker got that fatal bullet wound." L. Neil Smith
The problem with being stupid is you cannot simply decide to stop doing dumb things...
It's a decent package. One came through the shop awhile back. Factory Black Hills Ammo turned in MOA groups out to 300 yards.
For a factory stick it does what it was designed to do. No doubt you are paying a bit more for teh Remington name, but if you don't have the time/will/desire to build one yourself you could do worse.
I bought an r-25 in .308 in 2010. Experimented with several different rounds, magazines, and scopes/mounts. The DPMS magazines fed the best, but still had multiple misfeeds with all cartridges. To top it off, it wouldn't shoot a decent group at all. I sent it back to Remington Arms two months ago and haven't heard anything except "the issue is unresolved". My buddy got a regular old economy model dpms in .308 and is loving it. R-25...very fussy!!!
I looked at them when I was shopping for a 7.62 AR. They seemed like good rifles, and I've had good luck with Remington in the past. That said, I ended up buying an ArmaLite because that was the name that kept popping up when I was talking to AR guys about .308/7.62 rifles.
Never had a malfunction of any kind.
Just something to think about...
Yeah the ArmaLite is more expensive, including magazines, but I like them and they do say AR-10!

President Obama addressed the American Medical Association this past week. He laid out his vision for health reform. Many in the audience applauded his general statements of reform. But when it came to specifics, there were skeptics. The President seems to believe that health reform can be accomplished without major tort / malpractice reform. He seems to believe that health reform can only be accomplished if the federal government offers an option for insurance. He seems to believe that costs can be contained if only doctors would practice medicine based on judgment, not defense.
Unfortunately, real health reform, may be slipping away as the President fails to provide the much needed courage of leadership on the difficult choices. Let's examine just a few of these choices.
Without a meaningful attempt to reign in the trial lawyers lobby, cost cutting will not occur. As we have pointed out in a previous post (Medicine's Most Expensive Technology: The Doctor's Pen June 10, 2009), physicians control much of the costs of the system via the tests, medicines and procedures they order. The vast majority of "excess" that occurs in these areas is due to concern about "covering your bases" in case a lawsuit occurs. The government has focused on physician ownership, when in fact, that is a small, perhaps negligible part of the issue. The real nemesis here is the trial lawyers lobby. The President, a lawyer, seems unwilling to address this issue head on in a serious way. States that have malpractice caps have seen moderation in rates. Caps on damages in these states almost always apply only to PUNITIVE awards, NOT to medical expenses. Recall the definition of punitive: inflicting or intended as punishment. The very nature of this implies that physicians and other health care providers intentionally seek to harm patients. The number of cases of gross negligence, when compared to the overall number of malpractice claims is minimal. The vast majority of suits are filed for "bad outcome" (generally complications) and to a lesser extent for "wrongful death" (meaning the doctor caused the death needlessly through action or inaction). In almost all of these cases, no claim can be made for willful malice, negligence or intent to injure, only error – and in most cases not error, just that things did not go the way all hoped for.
This one is actually easy. Anyone know of any health insurer offering PRIMARY health coverage to individuals who are of Medicare age? Well, if you are working and have group coverage through an employer you might, but the vast majority of Medicare eligible citizens will find NO primary option to standard Medicare – a government health insurance program (well sort of, since there is some adjustment of premiums based on income, it is also a form of health insurance welfare). As for Medicaid, the same is true. The fact is that if the government offers a tax payer financed option t0 compete on the open market, you will, over a relatively short time, have no private health insurance options available for primary coverage. To be sure, supplements will abound, just as they do under Medicare, but in essence, there will only ONE health insurance plan and that will be the government option. Which means . . . all citizens will have to have the government option for their primary coverage, since the private market will offer only supplements to those already covered by the government plan. I know, I know . . . the President said this is not his intention, that this will not happen . . . folks, wake up . . . Mr. Obama knows full well this IS what will happen (and that is the meaning of IS). He talks softly and reassuringly on this issue, but the outcome is already well known. Once again, just look at the example of Medicare.
His comments about guidelines and such, lead one to believe that he views "medical judgment" as a matter of following written codes of practice/conduct (i.e. cookbook medicine) and that if doctors will only do so then malpractice issues will fade away. This is naive at best, and disingenuous at worst, as he knows full well that exercising true medical judgment requires freedom from frivolous legal actions and the freedom to make choices for individual patients, not blindly follow an outline based on meta analysis of published studies with expert opinions added in. This site is well versed in modern medical guidelines and algorithms. They are helpful and continuing to update them is both challenging and useful. But they are NOT a substitute for sound, medical judgment when caring for the unique ills of an individual patient. They are a tool, not a panacea. Cost cutting efforts by doctors will only have broad acceptance when medical malpractice abuse is eliminated.
In the end the road to Real Health Reform is not as complicated, expensive or disruptive as the President and many around him would have us belivee. Common sense, with a dose of true market oversight and meaninful regulation is all that is required to address most of what is wrong ( seeDetails on "the plan" @ http://realhealthreform.wordpress.com/the-plan/details-on-the-plan) . . . obi jo and jomaxx
In his remarks, he noted that for the vast majority of Americans, physicians "are the health care system" and are therefore an integral part of any reform discussions. He also noted that while he does not support caps on non-economic damages in medical malpractice cases, he does support reform of the system so that doctors are not forced to practice defensive medicine and can go back to treating their patients in the manner in which they feel is best, without having to look over their shoulders. He also noted that his intention is to allow physicians to stop spending their time acting as administrators and accountants and allow them to instead be physicians.

Day of the Girl
Day of the Girl is an international holiday recognized by the United Nations with the focus of celebrating girls and bringing awareness of issues impacting girls. To celebrate girls, we hosted a Day of the Girl event showcasing local female talent, inviting girls to express themselves through art, and highlighting local resources for girls. We asked girls to share what girl power means to them:
- Girl power is important because ever since the older days, men have had control. We need a balance we need equality for men and women all across the globe.
- Girl power to me is being a believer to anything girls do.
- It means that girls are very powerful and capable of ANYTHING.
- To stay together and stand by your friends.
- Being strong.
- That means you are strong.
- Girls can do anything.
- Powerful, indestructible.
- Girls can do anything.
- Girl power means to me that we're strong, tough, powerful, and we can do anything a boy could do.

What activities did your students participate in?
• Students looked through magazines to count the number of girls with glasses, braces or acne which makes up a large population of girls in "real life" but not in the glossy magazine pages.
• Girls highlighted one physical trait they admired about themselves.
• Students viewed videos that taught them how photos and videos are drastically changed.
What do you think your students learned from the workshop?
The workshop opened their eyes to the harsh reality of media's unattainable view of beauty. They learned that what they see is not real, which is the most important thing young women may learn.
How do you think this workshop helps your students?
It is becoming a hobby on campus for girls to gather and highlight the areas on their body that they would like to change; the size of their nose, their skin color, or (of course) their hair. Girls communicate in a negative tone, and I feel like the workshop allowed them to see that highlighting their attributes and true beauty is a much more fun hobby to have.
What was your favorite part of the workshop?
Having the girls watch the Adobe commercial and the Photoshop transformation video was one of my favorite parts of the workshop, because their reactions were priceless. Many students gasped and laughed at the model's transformation and realized that the media doesn't show attainable beauty.

The Latinitas Youth Editorial Advisory Board is made up of young adult editors who contribute to Latinitas magazine and blog.

It's amazing to see how many views my blogs have gotten, and I get super excited when some comments on my article. I really love the freedom we have to pick the topics we want to write about.

- "YEAB exceeded my expectations! It was a fun ride and I am honored to have been a part of this program! I loved finishing up my articles and then writing blog posts from the latina community within MyLatinitas! I love this program so much and believe that there should be more latinas within the art world – and if I can spread the word out about the wonders of the entertainment and fine arts world – that would make my summer amazing. I learned how to write like a journalist and I found out how much I loved filmmaking as a whole." – Sara, age 20
- "Yes, my voice is being heard and not only heard, but empowered. My favorite part is getting my articles published, it makes me feel so proud and joyous. By choosing my own topic, I decide what I want to write about and what I write about is important to me, therefore that is where my voice lies in. I believe that is how you find your voice. Also, by choosing my own topic I am letting myself know that what I have to say is important.

Also, they are forgiving of mistakes, which I find very human." – Vasti, age 20

- "It's a very welcoming atmosphere, there's a lot of freedom for the writers, and there's always someone to assist you. I think it really was just reading and learning about some of the amazing young Latinas who share my passions. Journalism, and media in general, is a tough business to get in to — especially if you're a woman and even more so as a Latina — take everything you learn here, appreciate it, and let these wonderful women assist you in your growth. You won't find another program like this around." – Raquel, age 22
