I love the sleek design of the cooktop and all the burners and size selections. Also, I like the pre-sets (simmer, melt, etc.). The only thing I don't like is the slider heat level selector, which I find difficult to judge.

This cooktop distributes heats, then cools down, then heats up....it takes FOREVER for water to boil. I am not at all impressed by this kitchen aid product. The touch activated controls are slippery if your hands are wet or you have food on them as you would had you been actually cooking. Also this unit takes a long time to cool down, the surface area remains more than warm well after you shut it off.

Just bought 36 inch cook top, so far I have enjoyed using it. You do need to keep glass cleaner handy to keep clean.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
New to an electric stovetop
By Ricky S
from Ponte Vedra, Florida
Always was a gas "cook". That option not available here. The cooktop has performed well but still on a learning curve. In my opinion, somewhat harder to clean but now have recommended products and will see if that makes cleaning easier.
Finallly a cooktop....
By Happy Wife and Grandma
from Dallas, TX, United States
An early xmas present was my kitchenaid 36 inch electric cooktop; finally got rid of that old jennair that was like over 30 years old!!! Love that I don't have to clean those nasty electrical elements! Also love the zone sizing as well as the lack of knobs ALL DIGITAL!!! like that we can "lock" the top from little hands as well - big safety feature! BIG UPGRADE FOR MY KITCHEN!!! THANKS KITCHENAID!!!

bought about I month ago and it is working out well
Looks and works great!
By Howardave
from New Glasgow, NS, Canada
We are very happy with the modern clean look as well as the performance.
So much better than my old GE cooktop
By mjplatt
from Houston, TX, United States
The installation was easy, with just a slight modification of the counter top opening required. My old cook top had knobs that collected grease and dirt underneath, requiring removal and cleaning constantly, and which eventually simply broke off. The Kitchen aid is completely smooth with no protruding parts. The controls are electronic and use touch sensitive areas on the cook top. They are rather intuitive and after using them a couple of times it will feel natural. This cook top also heats very rapidly for an electric one. On several of the elements, you have a choice of one or more rings to heat, so you can tailor the element to the size of the pan. I have owned and used this cook top for several months now and I cook a lot. This unit is definitely worth the money.....
Great Cooktop

Love my new stove top! Perfect size for my family,
Great cooktop
By Cpmock
from Jacksonville, FL, United States
We have been using the cooktop for a few weeks now and really like the features of the appliance. The total smooth top is really nice. The touch controls work effortlessly. The only complaint is that the position of the burners is hard to see as the lines showing the burners is very faint. Otherwise very pleased.
Black Cooktop
By pinbr
from Baton Rouge, LA, United States
Beautiful, but will pick up dust quickly. Streaks on the glass are annoying, despite using recommended Refresh. Controls are user friendly. Lock out feature nice. Burners heat rapidly. Cooktop functions well. Nothing negative except the frequency of cleaning, but that goes with this style appliance.

It really has an original feel due to the sounds you use.
I produce on FL Studio. I use a ton of different vsts such as z3ta+, v-station, nexus, and vanguard to create my own powerleads through layers. I use Vengeance Essential Club Samples Volumes 1, 2, and 3 for a lot of my kicks + drums. A lot of the work comes in the Mixer and making it sound legit. :)

Blood Alcohol Content calculator is can be used to estimate the amount of alcohol in your blood after drinking. It supports two types of calculators:
- The Simple BAC : which contains a list of common drink types (beer, wine, vodka, whiskey) and
- The Advanced BAC : which you can actually input the amount of ounces consumed and its alcoholic percentage.
BMI Calculator - Weight Loss
It can also be used to find your healthy weight if you want to lose weight or are on diet.
• BMI Calculation for everyone 7 years and older
• Metric and imperial systems are supported
• Optional saving of last entered values
• BMI - Body Mass Index: is defined as the body weight divided by the square of the height. It provides a rough guide since the BMI doesn't take into account a persons build or the composition of the body weight.
• WHtR - Waist-to-Height Ratio: is defined as the waist circumference divided by the height. It measures abdominal obesity and therefore can be used as an better indicator of health risks than BMI (Body Mass Index).
• Body Fat Percentage: is defined as the weight of fat divided by the total weight. It is estimated with the 'US Navy Circumference Method' which uses the height and circumferences of waist, neck and hip.
• Energie Expenditure / Calorie Consumption: is mainly a sum of internal heat produced (Basal Metabolic Rate estimated by Mifflin St Jeor Equation) and external work (Physical Activity Level).

Please, consider, that this application provides you only with the estimation, but not with the precise value.
Starting from version 1.3, multi-drink mode is not a part of this application anymore. It is too complicated, and misleads the majority of users. Please, let me know if you want that multi-drink mode, and I will publish another application, named "Overcomplicated BAC calculator"

TDEE is the amount calories your body burns in a 24 hour period, sleeping, working, exercising, playing and even digesting food!
The IIFYM TDEE Calculator is designed to give you your exact TDEE based on a few key factors (BMR + TOTAL ENERGY EXPENDITURE).
TDEE is the most important bit of information available to us when trying to gain muscle or burn fat and lose weight which is why the IIFYM TDEE Calculator is based on the most exact TDEE formulas available.
Fat Weight Loss Secret
• If we eat more calories than our body requires, we will gain weight watchers.
• If we eat less calories than our body needs, we will lose weight watchers.
• Unless we know exactly what our TDEE is, we have no way of knowing how many calories to consume to burn body fat or gain muscle
Find out how many calories you need and use MyFitnessPal or any Calorie Counter or Calorie tracker app to track your calories.
BMR = Basal Metalbolic Rate (similar to RMR = Resting Metabolic Rate)
Your BMR (BMR calcualtor) is represents the number of calories your body burns at rest. The BMR calcualtor will calculate the precise amount of calories your individual body requires to keep you alive.
The BMR Calculator is not a TDEE Calculator so you should not base any dietary decision on the number our BMR calculator spits out

90night: SleepyTime Calculator
Or have you taken a nap and felt great one time yet felt horrible another time?
The reason for such scenarios is that you most likely woke up in the middle of one of your sleeping cycles.
Sleeping works in cycles of 90 minutes. That is why you might get a good amount of sleep yet still feel tired (because you most likely woke up in the middle of one of your sleep cycle).
With 90night (a sleep cycle calculator inspired by the popular website sleepyti.me [Sleepytime, Sleepy time]), you can calculate the times you can wake up if you know when you are going to sleep or you can calculate the times you can go to sleep if you know when you are waking up. It also provides you buttons you can press that can set an alarm for you using your preferred alarm app.
Features that 90night includes:
[✔]The ability to set how long it takes you to fall asleep and 90night will use that time in its calculations
[✔]Support for both 12/24 hour format (with the ability to change them)
[✔]A night mode for using a dark theme for the app to avoid straining your eyes in the dark
[✔]Buttons to set alarms for each time (with optional confirm dialog box which can be turned on in settings
[✔]The option to automatically add extra snooze alarms after you set the original alarm (with the option to pick how many alarms you want and the interval between the alarms)
[✔]NEW: Dashclock extension to show you your sleep times right from your lock screen!
What's different in Plus version:
[✔]No advertisements!
[✔]Ability to use shortcuts without sharing the app
[✔]Extra features coming soon!
Permissions Explained:
• Network communications: Used for ads
• Alarm: For setting your alarm
Q: Why doesn't 90night have an option to delete alarms?
A: Because as the developer, I am not given permission or the ability (through the API) to go inside alarm apps and delete alarms. There are a few alarm applications out there (such as Circle Alarm) that automatically remove alarms after they have gone off.
Q: Why is the app called 90night?
A: It's actually a play on words! A sleep cycle is 90 minutes long and sleeping happens at night and when the name of 90night [90 night, ninety night] is read out loud it sounds like "nighty night!"
If you have any questions, requests, bugs/issues, or features you want, feel free to email me.

DrinkControl - alcohol tracker
The truth is people don't understand the guidelines that surround moderate alcohol use limits.
A lot of people wonder if they drink too much and if their drinking puts them at risk of harm. It is possible to drink alcohol and be healthy? DrinkControl may help you considerably improve your awareness and track your alcohol consumption pattern.
Had a drink? Write it down! Keep your drinking in check!
DrinkControl converts your alcohol intake, such as glasses, into the standard units of alcohol and warns when you're are exceeding the moderate drinking guidelines as well as how much you have spent on drinks.
Now, that's a sobering thought. Drink wisely!
✭ Tracking of alcohol intake (units)
✭ Organised selection of drinks
✭ Imperial or Metric sizes
✭ Guidelines by health organisations
✭ Tracking of alcohol expenses
✭ Calendar history browsing
✭ Statistics, reports and charts
As Google yet does not support in-app purchases for developers/publishers in our country, we use Fortumo (www.fortumo.com) mobile payments library to provide premium features (to disable ads, provide extra reporting periods). No text messages will be sent without your confirmation.
Alcohol Abuse Hypnosis
*23 million people are addicted to some type of substance. Of these people, the majority (18 million) are addicted to alcohol.
Here is a questionnaire to help you decide if your drinking is a problem.
1. Do you lose time from work because of drinking?
2. Is drinking making your home life unhappy?
3. Do you drink because you are shy with other people?
4. Have you ever felt guilty about your drinking?
5. Do you crave a drink at a definite time daily?
6. Do you drink to escape from worries or trouble?
7. Do you drink alone?
8. Have you ever had a loss of memory as a result of drinking?
9. Has a physician ever asked you to cut back or stop drinking?
10.Have you ever tried to cut back and found you couldn't?
If you answered 2 of these questions with a Yes it is a definite sign that your drinking patterns are harmful and possibly considered to meet the diagnostic criteria for alcohol dependence.
Alcoholism can be put in remission. This hypnosis SESSION can help. In addition to using hypnosis, I strongly recommend seeing a therapist that specializes in chemical dependency. I am a huge advocate of Alcoholics Anonymous as well. www.AA.org.
I am a chemical dependency therapist. If you have any questions about alcohol dependency or any other addiction please feel free to contact me.

BMI Calculator - Weight Loss
This BMI calculator allows you to quickly calculate the ratio of body mass index - BMI. Result is calculated according to general reading table created by World Health Organization (WHO) - the same for male and female regardless the age. The BMI is meant to be used as a simple means of classifying physically inactive individuals with an average body composition. BMI categories (underweight, overweight or obese) from general reading table are inappropriate for athletes, children, the elderly, and the infirm because do not take into account many factors such as frame size and muscularity. The BMI categories also fail to account for varying proportions of fat, bone, cartilage, water weight, and more. Despite this, BMI categories are regularly regarded as a satisfactory tool for measuring whether sedentary individuals' weight is in normal range. Obligatory weight loss tool for obese people.
- calculation of BMI (Body Mass Index)
- presenting the ideal weight range for a given height - helpful if you want to lose weight or are on diet
- supporting two formats of units - metric (cm and kg) and imperial ( inches [1 in = 2,54 cm] and international pounds [1 lb = 0,45359237 kg] )
- app2sd support (on Android 2.2 and higher)
- available languages: English, German, Dutch, Polish, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Ukrainian, Russian
To change the units from metric to imperial and vice versa, the 'menu' button must be clicked.
Any comments are welcome. Please notify me by e-mail about any bugs found or missing functions that you want to be included in future versions of the BMI calculator.
NOTE: if you can help me with translation into your native language do not hesitate to contact me.

This Is The Video Of New York Cops Strangling A Man To Death That Is Tearing America Apart Right Now

This Is The Video Of New York Cops Strangling A Man To Death That Is Tearing America Apart Right Now
The police officer who performed the banned chokehold maneuver should be charged with manslaughter, and a court of law should decide his guilt. He broke NYPD protocol during an avoidable physical confrontation which he precipitated. And in plan clothes, for petes sake. The thin blue line has become a tall blue wall, it seems. Eric Garner would still be alive if those officers had not been absurdly confrontational and defied NYPD procedures which are there for this very reason. Why should any officer care about any department regulations if misbehavior on this scale is summarily excused?
America's Fanciest Restaurants Want You To Pay Before You Eat

The 15 Best Ski Resorts In America
Vail is ranked the top mountain in America by realtors and people who don't know any better. The Vail Back Bowls, which are the resort's big claims to ski fame, have the wrong exposure so the powder turns to concrete as soon as the bright Colorado sun comes up over the ridge. And in interstate highway cuts the town in half! Bigger ain't always better, especially when half the skiers are whiny douchebags. If you want superb Colorado skiing, keep driving.
Russia's Wounded Economy Is On The Verge Of A Crisis
Putin either looks uberconfident or stressed as hell these days. I give 50-50 odds the guy flips out within the year and starts riding around St. Pete on his horse buck naked, or maybe takes down a world leader with a judo throw. Should be fun.

Here's What Happens Now That Republicans Control The US Government
How can the GOP get anything done in the next two years? The political calculus for the party is terrible. Tea Party legislation will be killed via Senate filibuster or presidential veto as last resort. Any Republicans who vote for moderate-left legislation that can pass a Democratic Senate filibuster or presidential veto will be committing political suicide, as GOP senators who support such "compromise" bills will be guaranteeing a primary challenge for themselves from a far-right candidate in 2016. These mid-term results will only intensify the "purity dynamic" in the American right wing. But if, as many pundits say, the political dynamics favor the left in 2016 as much as open Senate seats favored the GOP in this election, the GOP may hold power but us deeply disadvantaged going forward, strung out between the wishes of their right-wing base and the general electorate. Looks to me like two more years of ugly intransigence from both parties, followed by a whiplash Democratic Party resurgence in 2016, which will only confuse and piss off the muddled masses even more.
Good times for investing though.

The world would not be safe, medical tourism would not exist, and nobody would own vacant homes requiring house-sitting services.

Nur Meiyati
I Am the Queen of Myself
I am the queen
I am the queen for my mind: an absolute freedom.
No one can stop me to think and to express freely.
It requires a long way for me to be able to write like that
Since childhood I read a lot
From my elementary school to university I often ranked
But apparently from what a lot of books I read there was not of much help in dealing with the real life
And the lessons I got at schools were not of much help, either
Then I read books about collectivism, fatalism, individualism and capitalism
That I liked to compare with the value I get from my education and society
I am lucky that I CAN READ ENGLISH and I'm grateful that I can operate computer and have AN INTERNET CONNECTION
This has made it easier for me to access USEFUL information to be developed as my knowledge
At my age, I found myself that I had wasted so many years due to my religious teachings
The teachings which lulled my brain to sleep
Yes, sometimes, a person can not realize who he is until he is seen with the eyes of other people outside
That also applies to a society or a nation
When I see the majority of people in my country, it is like I am looking at myself... a long time ago
Everything is in the uniformity of thinking
When people now see me as someone who 'gets lost'
I can feel relieved: that moment has passed
When most people are proud to have provision of rules and 'guidance' that govern every deeds completely and in details
I can say solemnly: Thanks God, it's over now
I am so happy to become a truly free person
Free from having to think like others in a uniformity
Free from the fear of many kinds of crazy 'sins'
Free from the fear of thinking freely
Now I feel, it's terrible when people are not free to think
It is like a caterpillar whose all hair is pulled out from its body
Just like a tiger deprived of its fangs.
I am happy that now I can see God in a different perspective
I am the queen of myself
Customs, traditions, culture, education, and religion
I choose and I command to make me happy and to make me feel right
I believe the welfare of individuals should never be sacrificed for the sake of custom, culture, and religion
It should be the opposite
I do not want to be like what most people of my country believe today
They serve to the defense for their religion and culture
The common prayer that they use to welcome a new baby is:
May he/ she be useful for the homeland, nation, and religion
Why not the other way round?
It is the religion (if any) that should contribute to their welfare
Many people think that to have an identity
A person has to declare what religion, and what culture he/ she embraces
For most people, following a certain religion means declaring the consequences
That they have to follow a set of rules or doctrines
It implies that if you declare you are an adherent of a certain religion
You should obey all the rules, if you deny it you do not belong to that religion
You have to accept all the teaching without reserve
That's the basic thing that blocks the stream of thinking
Also, I have often heard the bureaucrats (which reflects the collective point of view) give 'directions'
You can study abroad anywhere but do not forget your own culture
You can mingle with the outside community in this global era, but 'think globally and act locally"
That might explain why high educated people from a country that have experienced to study abroad return with information, but not the knowledge that can only be processed by themselves
When they returned they are just the same as before
Nothing has changed
Except that they have made their advancement in their career and make more money from the government
Because their characters were left in the country where they study, not carried home
They brought home information but not knowledge and new insight and characters
It's like you think that A is true
But because you have to adjust to the teaching of your religion and culture, and other doctrines
You would rather choose B
No matter A would bring more goodness and prosperity in your life and your environment
This worldview is implanted through religious teaching in schools and through what is called 'nationalism' which I know now, is 'misleading' and it is a lie
Therefore, I do not want to have a collective identity of religion, culture, and ethnic group
I'd rather be an individual.
So I myself do not require that I should be the same or different from the teachings of a religion or a culture, or a tradition.
I chose to become an individual who has the freedom to think, in any case: the absolute freedom of thought.
The morality that I follow is a morality as I understand I think and I feel
No matter where it comes from.

Pictures taken with the W130 look good, though noise and softness can hinder picture quality and limit printability for photos taken at ISO 800 or higher. At lower sensitivity levels, fine details appear clearly, despite some slight softening around the edges of pictures. Noise, and Sony's noise reduction, begins to lower sharpness noticeably at ISO 400, though colors stay vibrant and the effect on prints is minimal. Noise becomes prominent at ISO 800, and at ISO 1600 grain consumes the picture. At the camera's maximum of ISO 3200, photos look like they were painted onto felt, with heavy fuzz ruining all fine lines. The W130's lens showed just the slightest amount of pincushion distortion (bending toward the center of the frame) at the telephoto end, but wide-angle shots have noticeable barrel distortion. The camera's automatic white balance does a good job of neutralizing colors in fluorescent or incandescent lighting, though it leaves a subtle warmth to the latter. Our extremely yellow tungsten lights flummoxed the system, however, that's not out of the ordinary even for much more expensive cameras.
With a quick shutter and a shiny, attractive shell, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W130 makes a very good pocket point-and-shoot camera. Its 4x lens gives it a slightly longer reach than most other compact cameras in its price range, and its onboard editing and slide show features are helpful when you want to tweak and share your shots. Its photos aren't quite as sharp as they could be, but they're more than suitable for respectable (8 inch x 10 inch) prints, e-mailing, and posting on the Web.

Who is trading what?
Now is the time to speak up. Are we going to get this exchange thing going? I will post in the exchange forum what I can give away.
Mulberryknob - If you're reading this you can't see the link from here. You have to back up to the first page for the Ozarks forum where it lists the message titles. Right above the first post it says "On-Topic Discussions [Switch to Exchanges" and the word exchanges is linked to a separate page just for Ozarks Region trading. You might want to mention in a message if you decide to post there because it's very inactive. But virtually all the imbedded exchange pages on Gardenweb are inactive. Most people use the main Plant Exchange or Seed Exchange forums.
When you first go to Gardenweb Forums where it lists all the different forum topics, you can tell which ones have the imbedded exchange pages by looking next to the forum title. If there's two little arrows in the form of a circle, it has an exchange page. A little camera means there's a separate page for pictures (also not very active).
And - Just in case I explained that very badly, I'll put a link. Some of the posts are pretty old. The newest ones are at the top of course.
Here is a link that might be useful: Ozarks Region Exchange Page
Thanks, Christie, I'm still learning my way around. Would sure like to see this forum get more active. I haven't been here long, but have made a couple trades and would like to do more. Am also close enough to Fayetteville Ar to attend a plant swap there if another one ever gets organized. Dorothy at MulberryKnob

Canning gone bad
Here is a link that might be useful: Canning gone bad.
That loooks like a tomato sauce with peppers and such. Did you notice the rings were still screwed on VERY tight! If the rings were not there, the swelled up dome lids would have popped open long ago. They are lucky the jars didn't explode, even when they were opening them. Bet they were made with gandmas 'old recipe handed down from generations past'.. Ha, isn't home canning fun! If were my stuff, every home canned good would be thrown out!
You have to assume they have been there for a loooooong time. Did you notice the lid that was already domed. I've actually never had anything go bad but I have never canned in huge quantities...I couldn't figure out what it was either but it looked gross...
Looks to me like they tried to can refried beans. Opening the jars was REALLY foolish !! They could have easily killed themselves with botulism if it were present. A person should never open jars up of food with bulging lids !
I need to try to see if we can download that somehow to use in our canning classes.

wir waren 4 Nächte in didiers riad. ein schönes gemütliches riad mitten in der Medina. das frühstück war sehr gut. die Anbindung mit Auto oder Taxi ist sehr simpel. im großen und ganzen haben wir eine wunderbare zeit in marrakesch gehabt. ich kann das riad nur weiterempfehlen!
We stayed five days with Didier and Florence. They have been very accomodating, helping us with absolutely everything we needed, driving us to the train station, and even changing some of the ingredients for the breakfast. We felt like we were staying at somebody else's home (some people may like this some people may not) and we had good conversation with them and their friends over good food and wine. Didier and Florence also prepared dinner for us a couple of times and we enjoyed the food a lot. They also provided us with many useful information about Marrakech, what to do, and how to get around.
Marrakech is quite cold in the winter if you are not directly in the sun. Didier wrote to us about that and we were somewhat prepared. However, especially in the morning the Riad was very cold.
Wir können uns den positiven Bewertungen hier nur anschließen. Wir fühlten uns in diesem Riad wahrlich wie zu Hause und sein Besitzer Didier gab sich wirklich große Mühe, der ganzen Familie einen angenehmen Aufenthalt zu ermöglichen. Ohne seine Hilfe wäre es sicherlich deutlich schwieriger und umständlicher für uns in Marrakesch gewesen. Didier zeigte uns auch persönlich die Medina und erklärte uns die Besonderheiten der Stadt. Besonders positiv ist zudem hervorzuheben, dass das Riad in einem sehr authentischen und wenig touristischem Gebiet in der Innenstadt liegt.
Didier was a fantastic host and couldn't do enough to make our stay more welcoming and interesting. From picking us up at the airport to showing us around the Medina, nothing was too much trouble. He also ensured we got the best deals when out shopping!
A very interesting gentleman with a lovely Riad in a great position within the Medina. Didier can show you Marrakesh from a locals perspective. We ate with Didier on a couple of evenings too and the food was fantastic..highly recommended!
Didier is really a great host. He was very helpful from the beginning, helping us before even arriving to Marrakech. He even went to pick us up at the train station in the morning. Breakfast is included, a great to start the day. And typical Moroccan food is available at the ryad by request. The chicken tagine we had here was the best! It is located in a very typical neighborhood in Marrakech, only 15 mn walk from Jemaa el-Fnaa plaza. The room is very comfortable also. And there is also mew mew, a super sweet cat.
It was a real pleasure to stay with Didier.
The Riad was really pretty in a nice, traditionell neighbourhood.
Didier picked us up from the airport and we had really nice breakfast every morning.
His cat Miumiu was cute too :)
Everything was really great and If I come back I would stay there again!
Thank You Didier!
Retraité , j'ai pris ma retraite à Marrakech dans un petit Ryad dans un quartier typique de la Médina où j'habite depuis 6 ans.
ou j'aime recevoir mes amis afin de faire découvrir Marrakech et ses environs.
Je pourrais vous indiquer de bonnes adresses et de belles ballades.
Passionné de golf et de voile.

Bengals can smell playoffs
Troubled Steelers hope to derail Cincinnati's bid for AFC North title
PITTSBURGH -- NFL commissioner Roger Goodell wants the league to consider expanding the playoffs.
Consider the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cincinnati Bengals a litmus test.
The official post-season doesn't start for another two weeks, but the AFC North rivals are getting an early start on Sunday in what amounts to an elimination game.
The Steelers (7-7) need two wins to play into January while the Bengals (8-6) need at least one more victory to assure themselves a rare second straight playoff berth.
Cincinnati hasn't made consecutive post-season appearances since 1981-82, or before all but five players on the current roster were even born.
"We can't control the past," wide receiver A.J. Green said.
Maybe, but the Bengals control the present. They've won five out of six -- the only loss coming on a last-second field goal loss to Dallas -- and can still capture the AFC North title with victories over the Steelers and Ravens and a little help.
Heady territory for a franchise that has spent most of the last two decades serving as both a national punching bag for its two main rivals, though the Bengals are downplaying the chance to make a statement against teams considered part of the NFL's elite.
"It's not as much about Pittsburgh as it is about us," left tackle Andrew Whitworth said. "We've got an opportunity to go to the playoffs."
Amazingly, the Steelers do too, despite their second-worst stretch in coach Mike Tomlin's six years on the job. Pittsburgh has dropped four of five, including baffling losses to Cleveland and San Diego.
Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has been nursing a sprained shoulder and the nagging perception he and offensive co-ordinator Todd Haley won't be exchanging Christmas cards.
Roethlisberger vented about the direction of the offence after a 27-24 overtime loss to Dallas last weekend, though he backtracked a few days later and Tomlin insisted his franchise cornerstone and his fiery co-ordinator are on the same page.
Maybe, but the latest dust-up offered another chapter in an increasingly long series of melodramas that have evaporated the sense of optimism following a 24-20 victory over the New York Giants on Nov. 4 that appeared to cement the notion the Steelers were back after a slow start.
Wide receiver Mike Wallace, in the midst of a contract season, was booed lustily after poor play against the Chargers, a loss running back Rashard Mendenhall didn't even bother to show up for after being made inactive. Tomlin suspended Mendenhall a game for conduct detrimental to the team, though the mercurial back hardly seemed remorseful upon his return this week.
Throw in the ongoing saga of Roethlisberger and Haley and it's no wonder things appear worse than they actually are in a place known for stability and sustained success.
"I don't know what it is this year or what we've done to make people feel like everything we've done isn't football mistakes, it's off the field mistakes when that's not the case," Wallace said. "We feel like everybody is locked in."
The Steelers don't really have a choice if they want to salvage their season. Pittsburgh has won five straight over Cincinnati -- including a 24-17 win on Oct. 21 -- and 10 of the last 12 meetings dating back to 2006.
"I think that a lot of the guys in this locker-room have 'been there before' and understand this is a playoff game for us," Roethlisberger said. "It does help us."

About the Book
Celebrity journalist Amelia Stone is the quintessential Hollywood party girl: she stays out late, rubs shoulders (and occasionally more) with celebrities, and ingests copious amounts of cocaine.
But after losing her job, her friends, and much of her mind, Amelia makes the drastic decision to end her drug abuse. Once sober, she's hired by a big-name magazine to write a column detailing her wild adventures and she starts seeing the man who could be her Mr. Right.
There's just one problem. Overnight, Amelia has become the new face of Hollywood nightlife, and her editors—who don't know she's come clean —want her to play the part. As the lure of her former fast-and-furious lifestyle begins to pull at her, she must decide whether to save herself or salvage her reputation as the ultimate party girl.

I've started pestering people at Lyrasis and EBSCO about being able to lend from databases and ejournals -
Sir Shuping is just sir
Our library is a net borrower, so I worry about this too. A lot. Especially when libraries talk about converting all their print subscriptions to digital. -
Catherine Pellegrino
Just how does e-lending (digital lending?) work. I haven't "borrowed" and e-book yet, though I'm sure I will in the near future now that we have a Nook. Does the file just "self-destruct" on the due date.
MoTO Boychick Devil
Barry, there are two kinds of lending: lending to you, and lending to other libraries. I'm primarily talking about lending to other libraries here, and I confess I have very little knowledge about how (or if) lending to an individual works. I imagine there's a timed self-destruct on those systems that allow such lending, but i think those systems are relatively rare. -
And, for that matter, ITAL is down to a six-month embargo (and has been Green OA for a long time, AFAIK). I tried to push full Gold OA. I've left LITA, so can do no more... -

Thanks Iris. My local liberry loans eBooks. As I said, I haven't tried it yet. Carry on with all this high falutin' liberry talk and acronyms. I'll be over in the corner looking amazed. :) -
MoTO Boychick Devil
Yeah, sorry about the high falutin' and the acronyms, Barry. My Pegasus blog is definitely a "by a librarian, for librarians" kind of a blog, and feeding it here into a space with librarians and non-librarians can get kind of tricky sometimes. My Droplets blog isn't about libraries... but I post there so rarely these days. -
I was just thinking about that a few weeks ago when our ILL librarian brought up that little fact at a librarians' meeting. And this was in the context of more things going online (our library pretty much going on the all online bandwagon which, while some is economics, other is just "we want to be cool" thinking, but don't get me started. I don't agree with it, but then again, I am not one of the cool kids. I better quit now while I am ahead). -

7 Foods for a Better Eyesight No one wants to see blurry images or watch dim videos. That's why it is not surprising that HD TVs are now becoming really in demand. If that's how we love sharp and crisp images, then we should check on our eyes' well-being more often than just having a yearly general checkup. Poor eyesight is usually associated with old age, that's why young people do not pay careful attention to their eyes and take their sharp vision for granted. Actually, there are lots of things that can go wrong with our poor eyesight, especially since people are now more exposed to the sun's ultraviolet rays and other environmental forms of pollution. Bad reading habits can also contribute to this as well as long hours of using digital devices, like computers and cellphones. Moreover, consuming high percentage of fatty foods and less vegetables also lead to poor eye nutrition, among others. There are certain food items that contain lutein and zeaxanthin, both of which are beneficial for eye health. And most of these foods are notably vegetables and fruits (usually in yellow and green colors). To help you jumpstart a healthy diet for your eyes, here are seven foods that will help you appreciate high-resolution content: 1. Egg. An egg is like a powerhouse of eye nutrients as it contains lots of the stuff our eyes need to function optimally. Eggs are packed with lutein, cysteine, zinc, fatty acids, lecithin and B-vitamins. They also help in protecting the eyes from having cataracts because of their sulfur content. 2. Garlic. This is something that doesn't seem to be absent in most dishes because of its flavor. Eaten raw, garlic can help in making our eyes stronger for it is rich in sulfur. 3. Bilberries. Aside from being a source of antioxidants, they also contain anthocyanosides that helps reduce the chances of getting poor eyesight by nourishing eye tissue. Furthermore, they also increase blood supply to one's eyes, as opposed to smoking which reduces blood supply. 4. Go green with leafy vegetables. They are excellent sources of lutein and zeaxanthin, effectively reducing the chances of having macular degeneration. Other foods in this category are collard greens, spinach, zucchini, green peas, broccoli and kale. 5. Stock on cold water fish. These are great sources of Omega 3 and DHA that offer various health benefits aside from preserving good eyesight. DHA is especially known to support cell membranes. Examples of such fish include sardines, tuna, cod and salmon. 6. Carrot. Filled with vitamin A and beta carotene, this vegetable is a must-have in any eye health diet. Half a cup of cooked carrots already contains four times the suggested daily allowance of vitamin A which helps in converting fat into energy. It also aids in protecting the eyes' surface linings. 7. Dark Chocolate. (Finally, something you can enjoy eating!) Dark chocolates have flavonoids that keep the eyes' blood vessels in good condition. But before you go and start buying these sweet treats, remember to check if they are in pure form or have at least 60% of cacao extracts. With numerous threats to our eyes' health, maintaining good eyesight until you age is difficult. But with the right habits and food choices you can be on your way to avoiding fast deterioration of your eyesight. Fast Abs
