20 Fall Slow-Cooker Recipes
Slow-Cooker German-Style Beef Roast
Red wine, chopped dill pickles and zesty mustard set this German-style recipe apart from other beef slow-cooker meals.
Cranberry Pork Roast
Carolyn Sinclair of Grey Eagle, Minnesota, received this pork roast recipe from her son for her family cookbook. "When I serve it, I almost always have to give out the recipe," she says. "The tangy gravy is a good complement to pork."
Slow-Cooker Brat and Sauerkraut Soup
Potatoes, onion, sauerkraut and brats pack in the German flavor in this homey slow-cooker soup. Try with Whole Wheat Pretzel Rolls; the soft pretzels' chewy, brown exterior comes from being boiled in an alkaline solution—the 1/4 cup baking soda in the water isn't a typo!
Slow-Cooker Brat and Sauerkraut Soup
Saucy Pulled Pork Sandwiches
If you're serving this dish at a party, you can keep it warm, covered, on low-heat setting for up to 2 hours. Just stir it occasionally.
Chipotle Black-Bean Chili
This chili is great for tucking into your slow cooker in the morning, so you can come home to a warm winter dinner. Omit the meat if you'd prefer a hearty meatless main dish. If you like, add chopped avocado or shredded cheese as toppers before serving.
Angel Chicken
Cream cheese, wine and soup combine to form a complex-tasting sauce—smooth with delicate seasoning—for slow-cooked chicken and mushrooms.
Beef and Sweet Potato Stew
Sweet potatoes, cumin, cinnamon, and dried apricots or plums add a North African flavor to this lower-sodium version of slow-cooker beef stew.
Slow-Cooker Meatball Sandwiches
Cook homemade meatballs in a spicy tomato sauce, then top with mozzarella cheese before serving on a toasted hoagie bun. If you're in a hurry, substitute an 18-ounce package of frozen cooked meatballs for the homemade ones.
Cider-Baked Stuffed Apples with Salty Caramel Sauce
Nuts and cranberries fill these simple baked apples that cook in your slow cooker. Top them with Sea Salt Caramel Sauce and, if you like, a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Italian Beef Sandwiches
Italian seasonings flavor boneless beef sirloin or beef rump roast in your slow cooker. Top sandwiches with Italian cheeses, assorted peppers or sliced pepperoncini.
Slow Cooker Indian Chicken Stew
Curry and ginger give zesty Indian flavor to the chicken, chickpeas and diced tomatoes in this slow-cooker meal. Stir in fresh spinach leaves just before serving for added color and nutrition.
Brisket in Onion-Ale BBQ Sauce
Beef, chili sauce and brown sugar flavor tender beef brisket in this slow-cooker recipe.
Sausage and Tortellini Soup
Prep time is just 10 minutes for this slow-cooker soup; combine canned Italian-style stewed tomatoes, frozen green beans, water, a can of onion soup and turkey sausage. Add coleslaw mix and refrigerated cheese-filled tortellini 15 minutes before serving.
Chicken & Shrimp Jambalaya
The three-pepper homemade Cajun seasoning adds lots of fiery flavor to this slow-cooker version of jambalaya. We've used no-salt-added and reduced-sodium products to create a healthier main dish.
Chicken Cacciatore
Serve this slow-cooked Italian classic with plenty of pasta to sop up the chunky sauce, full of fresh mushrooms, celery, carrots, onions, sweet peppers, diced tomatoes and garlic.
Pulled Pork Sandwiches with Root Beer
A surprise ingredient, root beer, adds sweetness to this roast and its dark sauce. Try leftover pork in quesadillas or stir it into ramen noodles.
Warm-Me-Up Chicken Chili
Combine chicken, chopped vegetables and canned beans for a warm and comforting chili. This fall recipe gives variations for Slow Cooker Chicken Chili as well as a spicier Chipotle Chicken Chili.
So-Easy Apple Butter
Store extra jars of this slow-cooker spread to give as hostess gifts, suggests Michele Lowe of Dublin, Ohio. Serve the butter with cheese and crackers. "I was thrilled when I found this idiotproof recipe for apple butter," Michele says. "I like it because I don't have to spend all my time in the kitchen. I can get a few things done while the apples are cooking in the Crock-Pot."
Aunt Bonnie's Taco Soup
Resolve the dinnertime decision with this quick and easy fix. When this irresistible soup is simmering in her crockery cooker, Vicki Johnson of Hallsville, Missouri, thinks fondly of her late aunt.
Red Wine Braised Chicken
Fifteen minutes of prep time is all you need for this rich, but simple recipe!
Burgundy Beef Stew
Either a good Pinot Noir or Burgundy works well in this slow-cooked beef main-dish recipe.

ANC beefs up Mangaung securityComment on this story
Security at the University of the Free State in Bloemfontein, where the ANC was holding its national conference, had been beefed-up on Saturday.
Media were scheduled to have a meeting with organisers on Saturday morning but on arrival they were refused entrance onto the campus.
Reporters had to park their cars outside campus and walk.
All entrances to the university were guarded by police officers.
Police at the entrances said cars needed to be searched and checked at the Tempe Military Base. Each vehicle would then receive a clearance sticker which would allow them access to the campus.
Service providers and ambulances were also turned away because they did not have clearance stickers.
The African National Congress's national conference starts on Sunday. - Sapa

Scenarios, outlooks and challenges in the next 30 years
There are two categories of driving forces namely "certainties" and "uncertainties" that shape plausible scenarios. Certainties are drivers that can be reasonably predicted and one can, with a certain level of ease, point out how they might play out in the future. They are the 'given' and they form the rules of the game and used to enrich the story lines or plots. Key uncertainties are the literally that – the driving forces that are uncertain. They can include the so-called 'known unknowns', risks, possible trend breaks and wild cards. It is their impact and lack of knowledge about them that are the vital for developing a better understanding of how the future might unfold.
During the workshop, certain factors were identified in increased population growth, greater climate change impacts (i.e. natural scarcity, deforestation, land degradation, etc), lower contribution of agriculture to national GDP, urbanization and inadequate energy sector. On the other hand, issues related to governance and Issues related to the structure and nature of the economy were identified as key uncertainties, and featured as key drivers of four possible scenarios:
1. The Mkaka Ndi Uchi scenario
Mkaka Ndi Uchi is a Chichewa word meaning "a land of milk and honey". This is the possible future of a Malawi where politicians are altruistic and take decisions for the greater good, especially keeping in mind the poor, where the economy is growing and diversified and where public finance management has made the system more transparent and efficient. In this scenario safety nets have replaced consumption subsidies and women and youth are actively participating in the labour market. Economic and environmental concerns are taken into account in policy decisions, although natural resource exploitation is still a challenge.
2. The Mbombo scenario
Mbombo is a Chichewa word meaning "greedy". This is the future of a Malawi where politicians are in it for themselves (and their handful of supporters), yet the economy is growing and diversified. The economy is mainly driven by foreign companies, which invest in the country and provide jobs for the young people but due to weak policies and their implementation, pose a serious threat on natural resources and the environment.
3. The Wotsalira scenario
Wotsalira is a Chichewa word meaning "backward" or "not progressive". Is the future of a Malawi where politicians are in it for themselves (and their handful of supporters) and the economy is stagnant and one-dimensional – not having different, diverse sectors. In this scenario corruption is diffused at all levels, the demand for energy is high and overexploitation of natural resources results in loss of biodiversity and threatens food security.
4. The Wokankha scenario
Wokankha is a Chichewa word meaning "struggling". This is the future of a Malawi where politicians are altruistic and take decisions for the greater good, especially keeping in mind the poor. Land reform policies are formulated to address land fragmentation and climate change policies are put in place and implemented in the context of the National Agricultural Strategy but without the necessary investments needed to support them. Consequently, despite the good will, the economy is stagnant and one-dimensional, food insecurity is high as well as unemployment rates.
What do you think are the main drivers of and obstacles to development for Malawi in the next 30 years?
Keeping in mind that each scenario represents an extreme future, how plausible do you think the scenarios for Malawi are? What would you like to add/change in each scenario to make it more plausible from your perspective?
What solutions would support the drivers of the best scenario and help overcome obstacles encountered on the way? How about overcoming the challenges of the worst scenarios?
What are the key first steps needed to get a change process in motion, and who needs to be involved?
As far as I am concerned the scenario which suits to Malawi is number 4. I worked for 2 years (2011-2013) in this beautiful country and I was not in Lilongwe but in the country side where I could see the reality of the vulnerable population. These last years, several decisions were taken and policies were elaborated to improve the condition of the population. However the lack of capacity to take these policies into actions is a burden in the development of Malawi. In fact, we all know that Malawi is affected by HIV AIDS which reduced its capacity. The population is now very young and needs to builds itself again to gain experience. Therefore, the main driver to develop Malawi will be the young generation. This part of the population needs to be educated and given a chance to play a key role in the development of the country. Capacity building will be very important! Obstacles will be of course corruption , instability due to political argument and accountability.
To reach the Nkaka Ndi Uchi scenario a lot of work and advocacy need to be done at the highest level as well as at the district levels. Better education and health care for the rural population as well as good roads need to part of the plan. Lessons learnt and successes from projects in some area in the country should be disseminated widely to other district. Although the population is very poor, I've seen that with a little bit of awareness on the issues and a good will changes could be done for few moments. It is still difficult for the population to be self reliant by they could be! Multisectoral approaches are very important to fight poverty and the different partners have understood that and working in that sense. Using local resources, building capacity and having a good M&E system can help too. Malawi has the capacity to eradicate hunger , food insecurity and malnutrition and the population has to believe in it , to work and fight for it instead of waiting for the politicians who are just trying to save their pockets. The donors will continue supporting the development of this country if it becomes more accountable. In that case the policies won't be drafts anymore! and I think progress have been made for that these last years.
Key words : Accountability, Capacity building, Local resources, Youth, Gender, Self reliance, Policies becoming actions...
Thank you
Maybe it would be also useful to dig deeper into the the "raison d'être" of the future states chosen for these two major uncertainties (politics and economy). What makes politics be for the selfish few and be for the greater good? What are the drivers of a stagnant economy and the drivers of a growing diversified economy? Are these two uncertainties really independant? I don't know Malawi, but it seems very likely that there are some connections between these uncertainties. In particular a growing and diversified economy would not be very compatible with politics for selfish few as the selfish few would ensure capturing most of the growth benefits by making growth not diversified and concentrating their power on it. The politics for the selfish few would go much more consistently with a different state of growth which would be a growing non diversified economy. But this scenario is not offered here, while probably as plausible and challenging as the others. Similarly considering that investing for the "greater good" can be associated with a stagnant mono dimension economy raises consistency and ideology questions. In terms of consistency, to what extent could a stagnant and mono dimensional economy be logically associated with progressive policies? Then, on ideology, it goes against the global discourse on governance and growth and all the work done in the recent past to show that good governance is a key driver of growth.
Some food for thought, thus...
What I meant by utilising the idle young adults to participate in development is that we can borrow the concept of the Young Pioneers Bases during the one party rule, the system had its positive contributions. There are some of these Bases which have been abundoned and some have been turned into Refugee Camps, if they could be revamped into Effective Agricultural and Technical Training Centres, we won't be running short of foods in Hospitals, Government Boarding Institutions as it were in those days though there is an increase in annual intakes. We used to have good diets really especially in high academic institutions. I feel these were contributing alot towards food security and surplus yields were stored in government shelters to be distributed to ADMARC depots for people to buy at a fair and affordable price, some surplus yields could be exported to other countries in need hence strengthening our currency. The young adults had double benefits i.e. acquisition of skills and self employment when they go back to there home villages hence contributing to the socio-economic development of the nation as whole.
All in all, for this to be well implemented and be effective, there is need for a strong political will and proper decision-making by the experties in the different economic circles. Sustainable natural resources conservation, where we are also involved much as physical planners, how we use and locate our land and the resources available is greatly desired. We can have good plans on the paper but usually implement something different out of the planned development strategy. It is really sad that things go this way.
(1) The summary of the four scenarios is really an eye opener, the drivers are to encourage using the readily available local resources to the production of our foods i.e. farm inputs like manure, local technology with little supervision in food production, sustainable natural resources conservation by involving the communities themselves and utilising the idle young adults who cannot get any employment opportunities due to their low literacy level.
These scenarios highlight the need for strategic thinking on economic development in a broad sense. Each of the three more problematic scenarios emphasize this need, each in a different fashion, highlighting problems around growing inequality and outside investment that perhaps will only benefit a few, or problems around economic activities that keep the country back. The Wotsalira scenario offers the most challenging future because there is no leverage point for action unlike in the other two "negative" scenarios. Where do you begin? Perhaps civil society (if organizations can be found that are not crippled by corruption) offers a way toward improvement, together with international support?

SAN FRANCISCO — San Francisco officials are seeking $1.2 million from the Los Angeles Dodgers to cover the unpaid medical costs for Bryan Stow, a San Francisco Giants fan who was brutally beaten in the parking lot of Dodger Stadium.
In recent filings in federal Bankruptcy Court, San Francisco is seeking reimbursement from the Dodgers for medical bills not covered by Stow's personal medical insurance, the San Francisco Chronicle reported Monday (http://bit.ly/XYenGP ).
During the March 31, 2011, attack after the season opener between the Dodgers and the Giants, Stow was beaten so badly that he suffered serious brain injuries.
The 43-year-old spent months at a Los Angeles hospital in a medically induced coma before being transferred to San Francisco General Hospital, where he spent five months before being moved to a rehabilitation center.
Attorneys for Stow's family have estimated that his lifetime medical care could cost more than $50 million.

In her debut novel, James shakes up
the world of lawyers and celebrity romance, producing a captivating, beautifully written story. The fireworks between the characters fuel the plot
and will keep readers flipping the pages at a dizzying pace.
Taylor Donovan has never been defeated in court and refuses to allow people to take advantage of her. Her steel-rod attitude lands her the job of training People magazine's "Sexiest Man Alive," Jason Andrews, for his upcoming film role as a lawyer. Seemingly immune to his advances and unwilling to bend to his will like every one else he encounters, Taylor believes she can see right through Jason and inwardly vows that he will not "break" her.
Her resistance makes Jason dead set on making Taylor his own. In the process, he discovers the humanity within him that existed before the fame and fortune. Despite their different worlds, they bring out the softer, sensitive side of one another and find they may be a perfect match after all. (Berkley Sensation, Oct., 304 pp., $7.99)

Red Sox pass on Ryan Sweeney; spot cleared for Jackie Bradley
FORT MYERS, Fla. Jackie Bradley Jr. was only supposed to spend a few weeks in spring training with the Red Sox. Now it appears he will be facing the Yankees on Opening Day.
The Red Sox informed outfielder Ryan Sweeney on Thursday night that they would not be purchasing his contract. That would appear to clear the way for the 22-year-old Bradley to be added to the roster.
Nobody has told me anything, Bradley said after driving in a run to help the Red Sox beat the Minnesota wins, 6-1. Im just going to show up tomorrow.
The Red Sox had a hole to fill when it became apparent designated hitter David Ortiz would not be ready to start the season as he recovers from an Achilles tendon injury. Bradley made himself the best option, hitting .444 with seven extra-base hits, nine walks and 12 RBIs over 71 plate appearances. He has a .521 on-base percentage and a .644 slugging percentage.
Ive tried to play hard and show them what I could do, said Bradley, a supplemental first round pick in 2011 out of South Carolina. I had no idea what to expect. It has been fun.
The Sox would not keep Bradley on the roster without the intention of playing him. He could start in left field on Monday with Jonny Gomes filling in as the DH.
Bradley is an outstanding defensive player and has an advanced approach at the plate. He had a .423 on-base percentage in his first two seasons in the minors.
Sweeneys departure also means that outfielder Daniel Nava and first baseman/left fielder Mike Carp will likely be on the team. The Red Sox would need to create a spot on the 40-man roster for Bradley.
Red Sox manager John Farrell was tight-lipped after the game about the roster. But he praised Bradley earlier in the day, saying the Sox believe he can handle the unexpected promotion.
You always want to get the best feel you can for the makeup of the individual. Looking at all sides, so in the event of something that doesnt turn out well or as hes challenged, how does he respond to those? Thats a projection," Farrell said.
"Until you get to that point, you dont fully know. How strong mentally is he? If struggles occur at the major league level, what would his response be? Yet at the same time, you look at the spring training hes had, the talent that he is and you try to put together the best team with the best players that you can. Weve allowed him to go this deep into camp, so were not afraid and not unwilling to break with him. If that were the case, we would have sent him out four weeks ago.
By promoting Bradley now, the Sox are starting his service-time clock, which could lead to his becoming a free agent in six years instead of seven. That would change if he returns to the minor leagues for 20 days at some point during the season or in subsequent years.
We cant control tomorrow, let alone six years from now," Farrell said.
Sweeney was told when he signed a minor league contract with the Red Sox in January that a spot on the roster was his to lose. He lost it by hitting .217 in 46 at-bats with one extra-base hit.
After meeting with Farrell, he called his agent, Larry Reynolds, to decide what to do. Sweeney has the right to opt-out of his minor league deal and become a free agent.
I wanted to be a part of it, he said. Now well see what happens. Its definitely a weird situation, the first time Ive gone through it.
Sweeney hit .260 over 63 games for the Red Sox last season.

Treasuries Decline After $13 Billion Auction of 30-Year Bonds
Treasuries fell as the government sold $13 billion of 30-year bonds after economic reports showed initial jobless claims dropped last week more than economists forecast and the trade deficit narrowed.
The bonds drew a yield of 3.820 percent, compared with the average forecast of 3.806 percent in a Bloomberg News survey of 9 of the Federal Reserve's 18 primary dealers. The bid-to-cover ratio, which gauges demand by comparing total bids with the amount offered, was 2.73, versus 2.77 at the auction last month and an average of 2.65 for the past 10 offerings. Today's sale, a reopening of the August sale, is the final of three note and bond auctions this week totaling $67 billion.
"There's a lot of supply, not just here, but globally," said Thomas Tucci, head of U.S. government bond trading in New York at the primary dealer Royal Bank of Canada in New York, before the auction. "There's concern about the global supply picture and if rates will attract enough buyers." As a primary dealer, RBC is obligated to participate in Treasury auctions.
The yield on the 30-year bond gained 10 basis points, or 0.10 percentage point, to 3.83 percent at 1:05 p.m. in New York, according to BGCantor Market Data. The yield on the benchmark 10-year note gained 9 basis points to 2.75 percent.
The extra yield that investors demand for 30-year bonds compared with 10-year debt was 1.07 percentage points before the auction. It touched a record high 1.25 percentage points when Fed policy makers met Aug. 10. The five-year average is 0.50 percentage point, according to Bloomberg data.
Indirect Bidders
Indirect bidders, an investor class that includes foreign central banks, purchased 36.1 percent of the bonds today, compared with 46 percent at the Aug. 12 sale and an average of 36.6 percent for the past 10 sales.
Direct bidders, non-primary-dealer investors who place their bids directly with the Treasury, bought 8.3 percent, compared with an average of 18 percent for the past 10 sales.
Thirty-year bonds have returned 20 percent to investors this year, compared with an 8 percent gain for the broader Treasury market as of yesterday, Bank of America Merrill Lynch indexes show.
Treasuries dropped earlier as the Labor Department reported that initial jobless claims fell more than expected to 451,000 in the week ended Sept. 4, from a revised 478,000. The median forecast of 46 economists in a Bloomberg News survey was for a drop to 470,000 from a previously reported 472,000.
The global economic recovery is proving slower than projected, and policy makers may need to extend or bolster stimulus programs to support it, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development said.
G-7 Outlook
Recent data suggest the economy of the Group of Seven nations could grow at an annualized rate of about 1.5 percent in the second half, below the 1.7 percent previously envisaged and the 3 percent rate of the first six months of the year, the Paris-based organization said today.
Treasuries rallied on Aug. 10, when the Fed said at the conclusion of its policy meeting that it would keep its bond holdings level by resuming the purchase of U.S. debt to support a recovery it described as weaker than earlier anticipated.

Chupacabra Clearly Filmed In Goodyear, Arizona, April 2011
A video shot Goodyear, Arizona has some wondering what exactly was recently spotted running through a Goodyear neighborhood.
Darrin Jackson was driving his kids to school, when he noticed something unusual running from the park.
"It was all gray, no hair on it at all, maybe just a little bit at the top, and it had this funny looking tail," said Jackson.
Jackson believes what he viewed roaming the streets of Goodyear was a Chupacabra, a legendary hairless creature.
"It looks like an alien almost, so it's hard to forget that image because it's so weird looking and just to see it in broad daylight."
Jackson shot video while following the animal from the park to a nearby Fry's grocery store parking lot. It was there where the creature ran through an open gate and disappeared down a sewer drain.

text: Picture this unusual sight: a government-led trade mission consisting not of Boeing and Westinghouse executives but of small-business owners. Credit a determined handful of high-tech companies at last year's White House Conference on Small Business with bringing it to pass. Disgusted by the antigovernment venom and myopic self-interest that marked the conference delegation's behavior, they rammed through the eminently sensible recommendation of a small-business-only exporting mission. Despite its long-held view that big-company trade missions benefit small companies through the trickle-down magic of subcontracting, the Commerce Department reacted by leading a weeklong trip to Hong Kong and Singapore last May. "The Department of Commerce is actually bending over backwards to help small business export," gushes Robert Pap, whose 50-employee aerospace contractor, Accurate Automation, was one of 12 companies chosen for the mission. "There's life over there."

A new tool — the recently updated "4-Day Throw Away" leftovers app — is available for families looking for an extra line of defense to protect themselves from bad leftovers. The app is available for iPhone®, iPad® and iPod touch® devices.
By donating grain, farmers can support Iowa's number one crop, youth, say officials with the Iowa 4-H Foundation. Donations to the Iowa 4-H Foundation can be designated to county 4-H endowments, for statewide use or for both purposes.
Youth ages 8 -12 can expect some winter fun at the Iowa 4-H Center during a winter wonderland celebration.
Parents and grandparents can simplify the holiday gift hunt with a "Gift of Camp" from the Iowa 4-H Center.
What's the best way to thaw a frozen turkey? Is it safe to make pies and vegetable dishes a couple days before the big family gathering? And what's the best way to deal with the leftovers? To get answers to these and other holiday food questions, call Iowa State University Extension and Outreach's Answer Line, 800-262-3804.
Twenty-one 4-H'ers have been selected to represent Iowa as delegates for the National 4-H Congress entitled "Become a Catalyst of Change," in Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 25 -29. Delegates hail from Adair, Clay, Fayette, Fremont, Hamilton, Harrison, Johnson, Lee, Lucas, Madison, O'Brien, Tama, Washington, Woodbury and Worth counties.
Angela Laury will work with Iowa producers and manufacturers to promote food safety as the new food safety specialist for Iowa State University Extension and Outreach. One of her first assignments is introducing food producers to the Food Safety Modernization Act, a new federal law designed to encourage food safety through preventive measures.
Cerro Gordo, Howard, Johnson and Webster counties have added their 4-H history to Iowa 4-H History by County, a new blog detailing the history of Iowa State University Extension 4-H Youth Development. The history blog is a partnership of the Iowa 4-H program and the Iowa 4-H Foundation.
Parents, according to a new survey from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), your toddler could be watching too much television. A new policy report from the AAP says there are better ways to help children learn at this young age.
There's a reason that kids act like zombies sometimes, and it's all in their brains. Children's brains keep changing from birth through the teen years and into early adulthood. Learn how parents can help those young brains develop — listen to this month's Science of Parenting podcast.

Chevrolet Blazer
I have a 2000 Chevy Blazer with 96K miles on it. I have had relatively few problems with it. Last week I had to get a new alternator and was told that my intake gasket was leaking coolant.

How did you first hear about Common Sense Media?
Submitted by johnwilliams on
Jump to navigation
Parents need to know that PicsArt – Photo Studio is a super powerful photography, image editing, and drawing app that's like Photoshop, Flickr, and a professional camera all rolled into one. Teens using the app may occasionally encounter mature content, and the app features deep integration with Facebook. Teens can enter thematic contests, be listed in the community as an artist, and post to Facebook, Picasa, Flickr, or the PicsArt website. The developer states in the privacy policy that children under 13 may not use the app.
User-contributed photos are dramatic and enticing, collage and photo effects are fun, and design is mostly intuitive.
Plethora of real-world photography features and effects can help teens develop career skills, as can browsing user-contributed photo galleries and networking with other contributors.
While there is no tutorial or reference info, users are given a very refreshing PC-level of control over storage options. Users can take advantage of various sharing options and contests at their discretion.
PICSART - PHOTO STUDIO has too much functionality to cover adequately, but here goes: time lapse, burst, front and back cameras, effects, stickers, backgrounds, collage, drawing (on photo, blank, or background), thematic contests, photo search, Facebook integration (find friends, post), artists listing, networking with other artists (account profile, followers, notifications, followings, likes, suggestions for followings), gallery of interesting recent photos, and tagged photos.
PicsArt – Photo Studio is a sharp and sophisticated app with more functionality than you would ever expect of a mobile app. Teens and adults will find a place to create beautiful photography and digital art as well as share and appreciate it with a community of like-minded artists. Drawing mode is nearly as amazing with enough features and controls to make it quite accurate with a stylus. Less artsy features like collage still offer enough options to keep hobbyists happy. The extreme integration with Facebook might scare off those who don't want to offer up their friends to every service in cyberspace, but those deep into artistic pursuits will rightly appreciate it.
Besides the access to some iffy content, the tiniest nitpicky problems are that views are occasionally a bit too cramped, navigation is sometimes confusing or redundant, and the main page layout follows recent panel-style trends to its detriment. Not to worry, any app with this much punch can't help but fall down in tiny ways here and there.
Encourage your teen by granting a budget for printing and framing.
Research contests in your local community and encourage your teen to submit.

My bulletin board tells it all: 9 covers to finalize by Friday.

My bulletin board tells it all: 9 covers to finalize by Friday.
Oh what a lucky VJB/Scribe am I.
The Mountain Poems of Stonehouse, translation and commentary by Red Pine published by Copper Canyon Press.
Thinking of Eric Gill, and his background as a stonecutter, I set the book title with Gill's beautiful Perpetua Titling capitals. I fell in love with the shapes of the letters, I admit.
Then, we found the image of the man in his simple hut, in the midst of dragon-shape pine trees. After acquiring the image rights, we learned that this scene was a detail from the familiar painting, "The Thatched Hut of Dreaming an Immortal" by Tang Yin (late 16th C), the wide painting depicts a man hovering in space at the left side. The Immortal hovers just beyond the book cover too.
The interior design balances the vertical lines of Chinese and the dense commentary on the verso pages with the poem number and translation on the recto page. All along, we wanted to keep the attention on the poems, with no more than 2 poem per spread.
I selected Minion for the text, as the sections of commentary can be long and we had limited space. Minion is slightly condensed so fits more words on the page than Bembo (another face I considered). Why not Perpetua for the text? Aside from the problem of fitting commentary, I don't use Perpetua anymore for text because it falls apart when printed POD, and even though this book was printed on web press (at McNaughton and Gunn), you never know how the text may be printed in future.
Multilingual books are always full of puzzles to solve. In this case the poems contain some archaic characters, so we relied on a compositor in Taiwan to compose the Chinese. Delivered as a PDF, each page contained several poems. I placed the PDF and cropped out the other poems. Midway through, the Chinese compositor changed the spacing and organization of the source pdf changed. Aargh! I had to relink and check and recrop all those text boxes. What are blogs for if not for complaining, right?
I'll end with one of my favorite poems from this collection:
To buy a copy of the book, buy direct from Copper Canyon Press, or browse your local bookseller.
Back in 1999 a designer friend of mine referred me to Rum & Reggae Guidebooks. At the time, R&R wanted to redesign their travel books focusing on countries with beaches. Their attitude was their brand: irreverent, witty, and informative.
I worked closely with author and editor Jonathan Runge. We went back and forth through several design approaches and in the end settled on a design with typography that rests on energetic and sophisticated Scala and bold and edgy Journal.
I developed a vocabulary of icons to aid readability and findability of the minutia of the restaurants and accommodations. I also developed a coding system for R&R to use on the editorial side. They provided styled Word docs with codes for icons. I translated the files with Torquemada and imported to Quark Xpress. The system reduced the cost of composition.
The books are graced by illustrations by Eric Orner. My favorite covers from the series have his vibrant and whimsical art.
When the economy crashed, R&R was hit hard, and like many businesses, and our work of 10 years together ended. I'm still dreaming of visiting the places in those guidebooks . . .
This week I had a birthday, and it is way past time to get this project going. I spent a few hours today dearchiving and pdf-ing and now have folder of portfolio images
This blog post, I'll pick my favorites — covers that please my eye. All are covers done for Copper Canyon Press over about 1998 to present.
I showed my portfolio once and asked the art director her impression. She said "your covers are kind of quiet." In the case of these covers for my longtime client Copper Canyon Press, that quiet is probably an intersection of my taste and Copper Canyon Press's usual presentation of a strong image with understated typography.
I'll talk more about these covers in future posts.
I welcome comments.

|The OSU game just showed how far we have to go:
a long long way.
We're going to struggle for a long while - stuck with the same line / no running game and a new QB next year. Then a new line the following year. LBs will be new next year. etc.
Seems to me we are dependent on (injury) luck, duct tape and bailing wire for the foreseeable future. If we even sniff the BTCG or playoffs it will be a Notre Dame 2012-like season - not a Bama or OSU like event.
The question is when does that end?

|Similar experience to those above
The fans behind us were vocally annoyed at the Zettel targeting call, but I assured them it was being reviewed, and no such call in Michigan's favor had been upheld the entire season. We proceeded to have a debate about who was screwed by the refs more, and wound up agreeing that the O'Neill crew had to go. Like Brian on the main page: in hind site I am glad Zettel is playing this week.
The concensus was they used to hate us and don't like Lloyd Carr, but now really hate Ohio State, Urban Meyer's cheating ways, and especially Ohio State fans. In contrast, we apparently treated Penn State fans well last year, though our night games are quiet compared to Happy Valley.
Franklin recieved much criticism, especially with timeout mis-usage in the second half, and there was at least one guy who wanted Hackenburg pulled (sooo last year in Wolverine fan emotions).
It was a good trip, and I would definitely do it again.

Think about it for a moment, Michigan - MSU would have been an ESPN2 game 10 years ago that may not have even been televised in some parts of the country.
This year College Game Day came to Ann Arbor for the nationally televised game of the day, AND College Game Day is going to Columbus for the MSU - OSU game this week (not to mention Game Day in East Lansing for the Oregon game).
Has anyone else had Game Day three times this season? (They've been to Tuscaloosa twice.)

|I love how many people on here
cab get by without cable by using someone else's login.
I switched to Sling TV when first came out. The service was good with a Roku3 and cable broadband but you are only buying one stream, and most shows are not available for playback and there's no DVR.
So we figured out we needed two streams and three Rokus, and we still had no way to watch some shows we missed. Plus I usually get over the air local HDTV stations pretty good. When it works over the air HDTV is better than digital cable, however sometimes the signal strength drops - particularly when the leaves are on the trees.
So I was hearing occasional hey you stole my sling, and NBC isn't working and my show is on.
Then football season came around. And I am back on cable and it costs about $10 a month more with the sports package over the two Sling TV subscriptions.
One thing I figured out: the basic digital channel tuners DTAs are fine for most rooms and cost $1 a month, so I have one DVR cable box only and that keeps the subscription cost down.

WASHINGTON — Sen. Mark Kirk, R-Ill., is unnecessarily inflaming the border-children crisis, raising fears about kids from other countries in Chicago shelters, without parents around, caught in a legal limbo. Kirk is trying to connect this crisis to his anti-gang crusade, and instead of looking tough, he comes off as just mean.
Kirk created the impression that hundreds of these youths are suddenly flooding Chicago as he sounded the alarms. Here's Kirk's Thursday hyped-up tweet, the short version of his press release: "Just learned 429 minors from border crisis are now in Chicago, but State Dept. can't say if any has criminal record."
As if these kids checked in with the U.S. embassy in their home countries before hooking up with their smugglers?
Kirk's gone down this inflammatory road before in his quest to be tough on crime. Last year, he called for rounding up thousands of gang members in Chicago, only to realize eventually that mass round-ups were not feasible.
The reality is that the Chicago area has been a place where unaccompanied children from other countries have been sheltered by the federal government for years. So lets not get hysterical here.
Back on Dec. 15, 2009, the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families, Office of Refugee Resettlement, contracted with the Heartland Alliance for Human Needs & Human Rights at 208 S. La Salle to provide services to "unaccompanied alien children."
The $8,284,080 grant runs through next September.
What that buys in Illinois are 429 slots for children, and they are indeed filled. In addition, HHS also in fiscal 2014 — which started last October — was overseeing the care of 319 children released to family members living in Illinois.
The surge of children from El Salvador, Honduras and Guatamala crossing into the U.S. in recent months has created a national emergency. In the coming days, Congress will take up President Barack Obama's request for $3.7 billion to deal with the kids from Central America humanely and get them back home if they do not qualify to stay in the U.S.
Kenneth Wolfe, a spokesman for the HHS Children and Families Administration, said that HHS opened up temporary shelters on three military bases to house these kids. Shelters in other states have been around for years.
On Friday, Kirk changed his tune and instead said in a Chicago news conference that gangs — such as one called the MS-13 — are using the border children to distribute drugs.
So, it's not quite like the kids had records to check.
Kirk's informant on this subject is Republican Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott, who is running for governor. Besides cracking down on gangs, Kirk has also been on a crusade against sexual trafficking, and so is Abbott.
There is nothing wrong with Kirk's anti-crime moves, but this time he's doing it in a ham-handed way. He's throwing away the good will he got in Latino communities for voting last year for the Senate bipartisan comprehensive immigration bill. And as Kirk heads towards his 2016 re-election bid, all he did Friday was create an ad against himself, as Rep. Luis Gutierrez, D-Ill., blasted him for trying to paint these border kids as potential criminals. If Kirk had concerns about criminal activity, he could have called the cops.

In the fourth powerful novel in Stephen King's best-selling fantasy quest, the Dark Tower beckons Roland, the Last Gunslinger, and the four companions he has gathered along the road. And having narrowly escaped one world, they set out on a terrifying journey across the scarred urban wasteland to brave a new world, where hidden dangers lie at every junction: a malevolent computer-run monorail hurtling towards self-destruction, Roland's relentlessly cunning old enemy, and the temptation of the wizard's diabolical glass ball, a powerful force in Roland's first love affair.
It is a tale of long-ago love and adventure involving a beautiful and quixotic woman named Susan Delgado. And the Tower is closer.
©1997 Stephen King (P)2003 Penguin Audiobooks
"My favourite of the series!"
Loved the flash back of Roland's first love, at first I didn't want to leave the present and the main characters of the series, but then I didn't want to leave Hambry and come back. Frank Muller gets 5 stars for narration!
"Everyone loves a flashback episode"
I really enjoyed this book, it tells an excellent story from the formative years in Roland's past without truly revealing as much as it brings up new questions. We really get the 'western' feel from this story, which blends beautifully with the medieval upbringing of Roland's childhood and immediate future.
"Expectedly brilliant"
King is a gifted writer who builds great castles with a few bricks, but not everybody wants to meet the shadows in all his many tales. Those who do revel in his gift and are never disappointed.
"Disappointing Detour"
One good thing I can say is that the cliffhanger from the previous book was resolved.
I have been enjoying this series very much and of course I wanted some information on the background. Especially the back stories that made the characters who and what they are. My disappointment arises because this book in the series has taken me away from the main story almost completely. Yes it fills in some gaps but much more than I needed. I am more interested in what is supposed to be happening now. It's like a novel inside a novel that I wasn't expecting to read and didn't really want to.
It's not a 100% bad story but compared to the excitement, suspense, character development and plot building of other books so far in the series it's fairly boring. I even felt that the characters were bored. Teenage love story ends in tragedy - well we already knew this from reading the first three books in the series so no surprises there.
Frank Muller - brilliant as usual.
"Can't praise this series enough"
If I could give this series of books 10 stars I would. Fantastic from start to finish. This is just anouther great chapter in Rolands journey.
"Follow the yellow brick road...."
The ka-tet learn the story of Roland's youth; how he fell in love and just who the wizard and what the glass of the title are.
"the dark tower"
what i loved about thr dark tower is the story teller.he takes you into into to the story.you become part of the story,a forth travler.
"amazing as always"
this series gets better and better. can't wait to read the next! do have to say I strongly suggest reading it at 1.25 speed for this narrator. but with that small change? amazing! !
"The best Book so far in the series."
The book seem to engulf me. I felt as though I was in the book along with the characters
Any of the previous series. They take you on a long journey with many twists and turns.
He seemed to really get in to all the parts and made the story so lifelike, it was as if I could see the book unfolding in front of me.
When the young Susan was killed at the stake, but she never denounced her feelings for Roland.
"Freud Would Have a Field Day"
I haven't read too much Stephen King and what I have read, was several years ago, so I don't recall cringing quite this much with The Shining.
His obsession with describing every inch of female anatomy, gets quite uncomfortable and his sex scenes just made me skip forward. Apparently he's married, but this makes me feel sad for his wife....
He can paint a very descriptive picture of people, places, landscapes, so why he feels the need to follow every one of them with a "like a..." and further description, escapes me. Especially when the references aren't exactly common place. "Black smoke billowed into the sky... like a funeral pyre". I don't know if many Vikings read his work, but that adds nothing. Removing them would greatly reduce the length of the book, help making it tighter and less drawn out.
As for the constant sexual references to so many subjects, Freud could make a career out of him. Referring to the glow of a glass ball as "labial pink", was a particular high point.
My journey with Roland will end here. I have managed four books and heard so much about where King takes the story, that I don't think I could stick it. So for me.... They reach the Dark Tower and live happily ever after
"King at his best!"
A wonderful adventure, it has got the lot! We finally find out what set Roland on his quest for The Dark Tower!
"So Roland DOES have a heart"
Roland's blossoming relationship with Susan Delgado. Also, the relationship with Roland's original Ka-Tet of Owain and Cuthbert. You understand a lot of Roland's motivations and why he is the way he is from the events in this story.
Roland showing how smart and astute he is despite his distraction with Susan Delgado. Also that he can demonstrate the difference between a gunslinger and those who failed the test and are outcast.
I enjoyed Cuthbert Allgood's character and Frank's performance of it. It is slightly distracting hearing the name pronounced differently to how I expect to hear it though. Not that it is Frank's fault because King confirmed that it should be pronounced "Key-ooth-bert" instead of "Cuth-bert" as I'd expect. On a related note, King pronounces Deschain as "Des-chain" whereas Frank (and I) would pronounce it more French as in "Desh-ain". I only mention it as King reads "The Wind Through the Keyhole" himself.
Naturally, the death of Susan Delgado (No spoiler there because it's confirmed in earlier books) and the fear for Sheemie's life.
A brilliant story that gives us the background of Roland's life before his quest for the Dark Tower. I think that "The Drawing of the Three" is a better story but many would disagree. Definitely worth reading as a King fan even if you dislike the Dark Tower series.
Excellent story in an excellent series, I can't wait to listen to the next part.
"Better and better"
The Dark Tower Series are Kings magnum opus. A true epic.
One of the greatest joys is the way characters and other items from his other works tie into this series.
Randall Flag, Captain Trips etc as well as the other books such as Talisman, The Black house, The Stand and many more.

Let's see if I am getting this straight, Mr. Obama says that the United States will take strong action if the dictator of Syria uses chemical weapons against his own people. The dictator of Syria uses chemical weapons and kills hundreds of his own people. Obama sends Navy ships into the Mediterranean to prepare to teach the dictator of Syria a lesson.
Vladimir Putin, the autocrat (some say dictator) of Russia, comes up with the idea of destroying the dictator of Syria's chemical weapons if Obama doesn't order a military strike against Syria. Obama takes the deal.
Here's the analogy: A guy takes a gun and kills a man, a woman, and their three kids. The police catch him and take his gun away. The local district attorney decides not to prosecute a case since the guy no longer has a gun. No punishment is meted out for the fact that the guy already killed five people.
I am now beginning to understand Obama logic.

why the frak does everyone think Kara's dad is 'Daniel'? there's no evidence to support this . . .
Really? Why would Kara's dad know a song that Sam Anders had played 2,000 years prior on Earth? Who taught it to him, and why did he pass it on to Kara? And why was that very song the trigger that awakened the FF? The song is a map. Watch Dreilide's face as Kara slowly starts to remember, look at his eyes. There's some serious shit going on...
Yup, I think it's a map that has been passed on for longer than anybody actually realizes, maybe from the first Cylons created on Kobol (who IMO are the Virtuals) and if not from that time, either a time before Kobol, a map to Earth qua Earth as we know it to be, the place where all of mankind originated.
I also don't think Cavil is really all that interested in finding the Colonists and eliminating them. They're lost in space as far as he's concerned, so he can just leave them there to rot on their own. He's more concerned with finding resurrection technology again. IMO, what'll happen is that both sides will finally figure out that they have a map to someplace else, "Earth 2" if you will. Cavil will go there to hopefully find resurrection technology, trading on it being an outpost of the 13th tribe that he can either take over with his assault force or play friendly with in order to gain their assistance. The Colonists will go there to find a place to live. Their meeting will be an accident, although I think the Colonists will be prepared to face Cavil since they have the advantage of knowing that both the song and the picture corresponding to its notes are the same map in different forms. The Cylons don't know about the song, so they won't be expecting the Colonists to show up.
Since we've not yet heard anybody say, "Go back to where you came from!" (have we?), I also guess that there's something on that planet or outpost that neither party will expect to find, one that will finally force them into a settled peace, unless the Centurions themselves rise up and put an end to it. We'll get our epic battle, but I'll bet we get one of those "Organian interference" endings.
