I really liked your post. They are really important questions before making the leap. For me personally there was always issue with having too many "GREAT" ideas but I've never had chance to execute them properly
Are You Ready to Innovate? Ask Yourself These Questions
Brainstorming business ideas around the table with friends is fun. When it comes time to make some decisions, there's a number of questions that need to be asked and answered honestly before diving into the deep-end. Take a personal inventory before you plunge into the entrepreneurial world and start with our short questionnaire.
Can I make my vision a reality?
Don't be discouraged if you didn't jump up and shout "Yes!" Questioning yourself is an important part of your first foray into entrepreneurship. After you get out of your comfort zone, you'll find that your reactions to new ideas and businesses will change.
If you answered "Yes" to the question, grab a pen and start drafting out your business plan. If you answered "No," then you have a choice. Either drop your idea and move on to the next phase of your life or ask yourself the next question.
How can I become the person that makes this vision happen?
With that question, you begin some important momentum toward your goal as an entrepreneur and small-business owner. Figuring out what kind of personal growth will arm you with the ability to obtain your goals will make you a better person, entrepreneur or not.
What's your next step?
Read up on other entrepreneurs and discover what their first step was. Depending on your idea, it could be business planning or market research. Look at start-ups in related fields and how they moved their idea forward. Classes and workshops can give you some idea, but the best step will depend on your idea, your experience, and the resources available to you.
What are the most important skills I could contribute to a business or field?
The more honest you are in answering this question, the more likely you will succeed in your business. Many people look at a task and say, "That's easy, I can do that," when the truth is that they will struggle with it. Perhaps your strength is in organization. Or sales and marketing. You may be the visionary type who can talk with people for hours about the business, but you have little interest in the details. All areas of the business have to be covered. Taking an honest personal inventory is an important key to unlocking your potential and what you're going to need for your future as an entrepreneur.
What do I know about the details? Do I need to hire an expert?
Some small-business owners learn enough about bookkeeping so they can manage that part of their business. Others hire a bookkeeper. Some will write their own website content, while others contract it out.
There are some skills that take a while to learn, and having a resource to help in the meantime can make a big difference. If you feel that your negotiating skills are weak, you may bring in someone with experience talking to suppliers. If you're new to using social media, hiring a consultant to make sure you're using them correctly for marketing can be critical to success. Entrepreneurship is ultimately about adaptability and bringing in talented people can be the ultimate learning experience for your future projects.
Where do I go if I need help?
This is a question to ask about every facet of your business. When you've done the research to answer this question, you'll have a huge set of resources to pull from. You will refer to this with every future business idea that you consider. And throughout your life as a small-business person, you'll be adding to your list.
Time to re-evaluate
When you have honestly and diligently worked through each of these questions, it's time to ask yourself again, "Am I the person that can make this vision happen?" With the knowledge that there is a big difference between making something happen and doing all of the work, you might be comfortable answering "Yes." With that, it's time for you to take that next step.
After you've filled out your personal inventory, leave us a comment about what you learned. Did you find it was hard to be totally honest about your skillset? Or did we go too easy? Help us make the next iteration of this list even better.

Good read Adam and great tips. Having ideas in your head is one thing, but putting them into reality is quite another. Belief in oneself is very important. And then taking the right steps to realize one's vision. You have some very helpful tips, thanks.
Hi Adam,
Thanks a lot for sharing these points. I agree that innovation and creativity is very necessary if you want to have a growth in yourself. It is through experiments and taking up challenges that helps in building your personality.
Innovation is hard work and you need to be dedicated and consistent to pull it off. That said, its an awesome journey. Maybe to add, i think an entreprenuer/innovator also needs to know when to let go and move on. Sometimes we might be so focussed on ideas that may not pan out and end up wasting valuable time and resources even when we may be sinking. So if one realizes the idea is not going to work, move on with the lessons learn and try again!
These are great questions, it's always important to think of things like this before taking on a big goal, Thanks for sharing.
These is the Great Idea which help you to innovate yourself . You need to be very clear about what you want to acheive in life.

ABSTRACT: Sleep disturbance has been reported to be one of the most frequent symptoms in patients suffered from severe pain. Benzodiazepines are effective and reduce anxiety in the hours after use, but the induced sleep tends to be less than ideal in quality, with increased Stages I-II and reduces Stages III-IV sleep. In the present study, we investigated sleep disturbance under a neuropathic pain-like state in mice using electroencephalogram (EEG)/electromyogram (EMG). In a model of neuropathic pain, sciatic nerve ligation caused a marked decrease in the latency of paw withdrawal in response to a thermal stimulus only on the ipsilateral side. Under this condition, sciatic nerve-ligated animals showed a statistically significant increase in wakefulness and a decrease in non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep during the light phase. Mirtazapine (MTZ) is an antidepressant, which is considered to enhance noradrenergic and serotonergic neurotransmission via antagonistic action at central α2-adrenergic autoreceptors and heteroreceptors. In the present binding study, MTZ showed higher affinity for histamine H₁ and serotonin 5-HT(2A/2C) receptors than other receptors, including α2-adrenergic receptor, in the mouse brain tissue. The thermal hyperalgesia and sleep disturbance following nerve ligation were almost completely alleviated by MTZ. These findings suggest that MTZ may improve the quality of sleep as well as control pain in patients with neuropathic pain mainly through histamine H₁- and serotonin 5-HT₂-receptor antagonistic actions.
Article: Olanzapine suppresses the rewarding and discriminative stimulus effects induced by morphine[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Atypical antipsychotic medications are effective for treating both the positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia. Olanzapine is an atypical antipsychotic that blocks dopaminergic, serotonergic, adrenergic, histaminergic, and muscarinic receptors. In this study, we used rodents to investigate whether olanzapine could suppress the hyperlocomotion, rewarding effect, and discriminative stimulus effect induced by the prototypic μ-opioid morphine, which are all considered to reflect the abuse potential or psychoactive effects of μ-opioids. Olanzapine at doses that failed to induce motor coordination produced a dose-dependent reduction in hyperlocomotion induced by morphine in mice. Olanzapine at a dose that did not produce motor dysfunction also inhibited the significant place preference induced by morphine in mice. Furthermore, the discriminative stimulus effect induced by morphine in rats was dose-dependently and significantly attenuated by olanzapine at the dose that did not induce the motor dysfunction. These results suggest that treatment with both μ-opioids and olanzapine at a dose lower than that at which it induces motor dysfunction could be very useful for preventing the abuse potential and/or psychoactive effects of μ-opioids.
Article: Usefulness of Olanzapine as an Adjunct to Opioid Treatment and for the Treatment of Neuropathic Pain[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The use of opioids for pain management is often associated with nausea and vomiting. Although conventional antipsychotics are often used to counter emesis, they can be associated with extrapyramidal symptoms. However, chronic pain can induce sleep disturbance. The authors investigated the effects of the atypical antipsychotic olanzapine on morphine-induced emesis and the sleep dysregulation associated with chronic pain. A receptor binding assay was performed using mouse whole brain tissue. The emetic response in ferrets was evaluated by counting retching and vomiting behaviors. Catalepsy in mice was evaluated by placing both of their forepaws over a horizontal bar. Released dopamine was measured by an in vivo microdialysis study. Sleep disturbance in mice in a neuropathic pain-like state was assayed by electroencephalogram and electromyogram recordings. Olanzapine showed high affinity for muscarinic M1 receptor in brain tissue. Olanzapine decreased morphine-induced nausea and vomiting in a dose-dependent manner. However, olanzapine at a dose that had an antiemetic effect (0.03 mg/kg) did not induce catalepsy or hyperglycemia. In addition, olanzapine at this dose had no effect on the morphine-induced release of dopamine or inhibition of gastrointestinal transit. Finally, olanzapine inhibited thermal hyperalgesia and completely alleviated the sleep disturbance induced by sciatic nerve ligation. These findings suggest that olanzapine may be useful for the treatment of morphine-induced emesis and as an adjunct for the treatment of neuropathic pain associated with sleep disturbance.
Article: Enhancement of Glutamatergic Transmission in the Cingulate Cortex in Response to Mild Noxious Stimuli Under a Neuropathic Pain-Like State[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Pain is evoked by noxious body stimulation or through negative emotional events and memories. There are several caveats to the simple proposition that pain and emotion are linked in the cingulate cortex (CG). In this study, we investigated whether mild noxious heat stimuli could affect the neuronal activity in the CG of rats with sciatic nerve ligation. We produced a partial sciatic nerve injury by tying a tight ligature in rats. Seven days after sciatic nerve ligation, rats received mild noxious heat stimuli. Mild noxious heat stimuli produced flinching behaviors in sciatic nerve-ligated rats, but not sham-operated rats. In addition, the mild noxious heat stimuli caused a significant increase in the release of glutamate in the CG of nerve-ligated rats compared with that of sham-operated rats. Furthermore, phosphorylated-NR1-positive cells in this area significantly increased after mild noxious heat stimuli under a neuropathic pain. Under this condition, there were no significant changes in the levels of immediate-early genes such as c-fos, c-jun, JunB, and Fra1 in the CG between nerve-ligated and sham-operated rats. However, mild noxious heat stimuli under a neuropathic pain-like state produced a marked increase in the phosphorylated-c-jun (p-c-jun) immunoreactivity, which is commonly used to map neurons in the brain that can be activated after N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor activation. These findings raise the possibility that mild noxious heat stimuli under a peripheral nerve injury may increase the release of glutamate and promote its related postneuronal activity in the CG.
Article: Sigma-1 receptor function is critical for both the discriminative stimulus and aversive effects of the kappa-opioid receptor agonist U-50488H[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The present study was undertaken to identify possible similarities between the effects of kappa-opioid receptor agonist, N-methyl-D-aspartate-receptor antagonist, and sigma receptor agonist on the discriminative stimulus effects of U-50488H, and the possible involvement of sigma receptors in the discriminative stimulus and aversive effects of U-50488H. The kappa-opioid receptor agonist U-50488H produced significant place aversion as measured by the conditioned place preference procedure, and this effect was completely abolished by treatment with the putative sigma-1 receptor antagonist NE-100. In addition, phencyclidine (+)-SKF-10047 and (+)-pentazocine, which are sigma receptor agonists, generalized to the discriminative stimulus effects of U-50488H in rats that had been trained to discriminate between U-50488H (3.0 mg/kg) and saline. Furthermore, NE-100 significantly attenuated the discriminative stimulus effects of U-50488H and the U-50488H-like discriminative stimulus effects of phencyclidine. These results suggest that the sigma-1 receptor is responsible for both the discriminative stimulus effects and aversive effects of U-50488H.
Article: Hippocampal Epigenetic Modification at the Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor Gene Induced by an Enriched Environment[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Environmental enrichment is an experimental paradigm that increases brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) gene expression accompanied by neurogenesis in the hippocampus of rodents. In the present study, we investigated whether an enriched environment could cause epigenetic modification at the BDNF gene in the hippocampus of mice. Exposure to an enriched environment for 3-4 weeks caused a dramatic increase in the mRNA expression of BDNF, but not platelet-derived growth factor A (PDGF-A), PDGF-B, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), nerve growth factor (NGF), epidermal growth factor (EGF), or glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), in the hippocampus of mice. Under these conditions, exposure to an enriched environment induced a significant increase in histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4) trimethylation at the BDNF P3 and P6 promoters, in contrast to significant decreases in histone H3 lysine 9 (H3K9) trimethylation at the BDNF P4 promoter and histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27) trimethylation at the BDNF P3 and P4 promoters without any changes in the expression of their associated histone methylases and demethylases in the hippocampus. The expression levels of several microRNAs in the hippocampus were not changed by an enriched environment. These results suggest that an enriched environment increases BDNF mRNA expression via sustained epigenetic modification in the mouse hippocampus.

backtraces mentioned in the original post
When running the game Schleichfahrt (Archimedean Dynasty in english) under Linux, dosbox crashes with a segmentation violation. This happens during the first fight. The exact moment of the crash varies, but it happens every time within the first seconds. To me it seems to occur earlier when more keys are pressed during the fight.
I tried different settings, including different outputs. Attached are GDB backtraces of runs with the surface and opengl output mode enabled, respectively.
System info:
Gentoo Linux 3.8.13 x86_64 on 2GHz AMD Phenom
I can provide additional info/testing if needed.
backtraces mentioned in the original post
I did some more tests with different cpu cores and dosbox only crashes using the dynamic or auto settings. Simple and normal do not crash but run abysmally slow. Is this a imcompatibility between the game and dosbox or sign of a bug?
Peter Veenstra
Could you try the current SVN ?
As I see that you are on 64 bit and the backtrace is in the FPU.
The FPU on 64 bit has recently been upgraded to a higher precission version.
It might be a red herring though.
Peter Veenstra
Thanks, hat seems to have done the trick! I ran the fighting scene several times without a crash and reasonable performance. :-)
I guess this ticket is done, in case the crashes reappear (e.g. during more crowded/complex scenes) should I open a new ticket or reopen this one?
Peter Veenstra
great, feel free to reopen it if the problem happens again.

great win today
Depending on how Arizona looks today... could we be the new favorite to win the NFC West?????
What a nice win!!! 2 - 2. and think we were in both of the loses. Big things in te future.
YES!!!! That feels good :D
Victory baby!!!!!
The only thing better than a RAMS win is a 49er loss.....
Congrats Rams!!! Love the direction this team is going in!!!
Congrats on the win, guys. Your offense outplayed our defense, your defense outplayed our offense, your special teams outplayed our special teams, and your coaches outcoached our coaches. You earned it.
But I wouldn't be counting on a win at Qwest just yet. ;)
I think we have a shot at Qwest....if we win there, i'll run outside my apartment completely naked
Great feeling beating the Seahawks --
GO RAMS :helmet:!!
I believe this game puts you in 1st place in the division, too at least for the moment. You have a conference win, and you beat us head-to-head. If the Cards win, then they take sole possession of 1st place -- but if they lose, that puts three NFCW teams at 2-2, with the Digits firmly in the basement breathing dirt air (gotta love it!). In a three way tie, I think you are still in 1st place even though the Cards beat you, because of your conference win.
(Someone correct me if I'm wrong. If I am, it wouldn't be the first time.)
Gotta give props to our old ravens boy, Mark Clayton! Haha

"The simple fact is that the Obama administration is compelling religious people and institutions who are employers to purchase a health insurance contract that provides abortion-inducing drugs, contraception, and sterilization. This is a grave violation of religious freedom and cannot stand. It is an insult to the intelligence of Catholics, Protestants, Eastern Orthodox Christians, Jews, Muslims, and other people of faith and conscience to imagine that they will accept an assault on their religious liberty if only it is covered up by a cheap accounting trick." - From an open letter to President Obama entitled "Unacceptable"

WASHINGTON, DC (Catholic Online) - The recent move by the Obama Administration in general and the Department of Health and Human Services, in particular, mandating the provision of contraception, abortion and sterilization services by Catholic Hospitals, Organizations and Institutions has unleashed a firestorm of reaction that goes far beyond the boundaries of the Catholic Church.
Days later the President tried to backtrack with a quasi-compromise that did nothing but increase the level of angry responses.
On Tuesday, the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty reported that they were among the over 100 college presidents, academics, religious leaders and journalists who signed a letter, entitled "Unacceptable," which denounces President Obama's "accommodation" to the contraception mandate for failing to "remove the assault on religious liberty."
"The simple fact," the letter states, "is that the Obama administration is compelling religious people and institutions who are employers to purchase a health insurance contract that provides abortion-inducing drugs, contraception, and sterilization.
"This is a grave violation of religious freedom and cannot stand. It is an insult to the intelligence of Catholics, Protestants, Eastern Orthodox Christians, Jews, Muslims, and other people of faith and conscience to imagine that they will accept an assault on their religious liberty if only it is covered up by a cheap accounting trick."
This issue is not going to go away any time soon. The President has made it clear that no issues of conscience on the part of the Christian citizenry in the United States is going to stop his assault on the life of the pre-born. His claimed concern about "women's health" is a subterfuge.
While there are some who have tried to be critical of the Catholic bishops during episode, no group of religious leaders has cried out so powerfully, accurately and for a sustained period of time as our bishops.
In a letter to their brother bishops in the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, Cardinal-designate Dolan, USCCB president, along with Cardinals DiNardo and Wuerl joined their voices with Bishops Lori and Blair to continue to call for unrelenting action on the part of the American Church.
"We remain fully committed to the defense of our religious liberty," they wrote, "and we strongly protest the violation of our freedom of religion that has not been addressed. We continue to work for the repeal of the mandate.
"We have grave reservations that the government is intruding in the definition of who is and who is not a religious employer. Upon further study we are very concerned that serious issues still remain and we have found numerous problems which we will raise in this letter."
To be honest, my greatest concern is not for our bishops but the cadre of Catholics in the pews who may not take seriously this incredible assault on our religious liberty, moral conscience and health.
Like the proverbial frog in the kettle, many of our brethren may have fallen asleep and on their way to experiencing the death of the freedoms. This is a time when we must cry out with a Scripture that is quoted in the breviary readings for Holy Saturday, "Awake, O sleeper and rise from the dead!"
An Issue of Religious Liberty
Make no mistake of what we are facing. The president and his administration are requiring that people of faith deny their deeply held religious and moral convictions - and violate their conscience - to comply with initiatives imposed by the government.
If this sounds familiar, just look back at sixteenth century England when Henry VIII required Catholics to accept his authority on divorce. What they ended up with was a state church.
This can and will affect more than Catholics. If this can happen in healthcare, it can happen in other places as well, where the government can mandate a policy in contradiction to Christian convictions. Leaders from across Christendom have joined in sounding the alarm.
In the "On Faith" section of the Washington Post, Jordan Sekulow, Executive Director of the American Center for Law and Justice wrote, "The Obama Administration's Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) decision to force religious institutions to provide insurance coverage for abortion pills is nothing short of a war on religious liberty. And President Obama did nothing to change this fact with his latest 'accommodation.'
"This is not just an assault on life, or even Catholics, it is a direct attack at the heart of religious freedom and free exercise - the very essence of the First Amendment.
"Make no mistake; this regulation is not just about contraceptives. The regulation at issue will force all employers to provide insurance coverage for abortifacients - the morning-after pills that can contribute to the abortion of a fertilized egg."
An Issue of Solidarity as Catholics
The Obamacare mandate has also revealed another subtle desire - to destroy solidarity in the Church between the bishops and their flocks. This attempt at polarization is a secondary way in which the government can defuse the impact of religious faith on issues.
Nancy Pelosi, in her support of the mandate, identified herself as a Catholic and indicated she was standing with her fellow Catholics in support of the ruling. Whoever she may be standing with, they do not represent the core teachings of the Catholic Church.
The Catholic faith is not a "me and Jesus" version of Christianity where I can believe what I want and call it good. In "Lumen Gentium," the second Vatican Council emphasized that we belong to a community of faith. "Christ, the one Mediator, established and continually sustains here on earth His holy Church, the community of faith, hope and charity, as an entity with visible delineation through which He communicated truth and grace to all." (Paragraph 8)
This community of faith only exists with the lay faithful in communion with the bishop and the bishop in communion with the Holy Father. A separation at any point will cause that portion of the Church to be cut off.
A bishop is called to be a defender of the faith and will held to account for his faithfulness to do just that. The same, however, must be said of all of us. When we stand in collegiality with our bishop and Pope, holding fast to the tenets of our faith, we are a force that cannot be overturned.
As our Lord said, "I will build my Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it."
An Issue of Establishing Doctrine
The assumption on the part of our administration is that the Church can simply adjust her moral compass to follow the path set by the government. In addition to an assault on religious liberty, they also are calling for an change in our ecclesiology and moral teaching.
Simply put, we change the teaching office of the Church to fit the cultural whim of the society in which we are found.
As Catholics, the normative profession of faith declares that we believe everything contained in the Word of God, through Scripture and handed down in Tradition, was divinely revealed. Our faith is not simply based on what the majority wants but what God has said.
Blessed John Newman captured this in one of the verses of his hymn, "Firmly I Believe and Truly." He writes:
"And I hold in veneration,
For the love of Him alone,
Holy Church, as His creation,
And her teachings, as His own."
An Issue of Protecting the Dignity of Life
The issue of Life and the dignity of the Human Person cannot be sidelined as we look at issues of religious liberty, doctrine and ecclesiology. In fact, Dr. Taylor Marshall makes a strong plea for just the opposite on his blog, Canterbury Tales (http://cantuar.blogspot.com/):
"The state is threatening us regarding the most misunderstood elements of Catholic social teaching - marriage and human sexuality. We should not fight for religious liberty so that we will be tolerated among all the other incorrect philosophies and ideologies of our day.
"I don't want an America where Catholicism is tolerated. I want an America where natural law and natural rights are observed and the reign of Christ the King is publicly acknowledged."
An Issue of True Women's Health
The final spin in this spider web of healthcare-gone-amuck has to do with women's health. To label contraceptives, abortions and sterilization as means of health puts women in serious danger from drugs, chemicals and procedures that not only will impact physical health but psychological and spiritual health as well.
In a recent commentary, Judie Brown of the American Life League pointed out that the birth control pill was ranked as a "Group One" carcinogenic drug by the World Health Organization.
She also cites a speech by Dr. Angela Lanfranchi, a breast cancer surgeon and cofounder of the Breast Cancer Prevention Institute, that shared a wealth of statistical data to support a fact that the use of the pill has been strongly linked to an increased risk of breast cancer. The pill is also believed to increase the risk of cervical cancer and liver cancer.
In addition a book by Chris Kahlenborn, M.D., "Breast Cancer: Its Link to Abortion and the Birth Control Pill," offers indisputable proof on the connections breast cancer has with surgical and medical abortion as well as contraception.
Also, on the issue of health - albeit men or women - what about the killing of healthy babies in the womb?
The Church is the Hope of the Human Race
It would seem that God is calling us to action as never before. He is calling all Christians - Catholic and others - to stand and speak out.
The Most Reverend William Murphy, bishop of Rockville Centre, summarizes the challenge we face quite well. He writes, "This mandate is a radical incursion on the part of our government into freedom of conscience founded on our religious beliefs!
"It contravenes the First Amendment and several federal laws. More importantly, it violates the law of God who gave us life and calls us to respect all human life. The Bill of Rights assures us that we have a right in this country to obey God's law and follow our conscience, free to live out our religious beliefs as individual persons and as institutions.
"Forcing all of us to buy or provide coverage for sterilization and contraceptives, including drugs that induce abortion, is a radical incursion into our freedom of conscience and religious exercise."
Now is the time to wake up the person next to you in the pew. The Catholic Church has many voices - lay apostolates, fraternal organizations like the Knights of Columbus, ministries and other groups. It's time for action as the people of God.
Awake, O sleeper, this affects you.

Community State Bank Employees Raise Funds Supporting Sexual Assault Awareness Month
For Immediate Release:
St. Charles, MI - For the fourth consecutive year, bank employees at Community State Bank participated in National Denim Day – a day established to increase public awareness to prevent sexual assault.
Employees at Community State Bank raised $311 dollars by donating money to this cause, which allowed them to wear denim jeans to work on April 24, 2015. "Wearing jeans on "Denim Day" during April's National Sexual Assault Awareness Month has become an international symbol of protest against erroneous and destructive attitudes about sexual assault," explains John C. Wendling, First Vice President, Retail Manager and Business Development Officer. As a local community bank, we believe it's important to raise awareness of issues that affect the families and businesses in our communities.
While the designated National Day was April 29, local organizers at Child and Family Service (CFS) of Saginaw said businesses and organizations could select any day during April to mark National Denim Day.
Carrie Schultz, National Denim Day local coordinator at CFS for the fundraising effort, expressed her appreciation for the donation. "We are very grateful to accept this monetary donation on behalf of Child and Family Services. The money will be put to good use in support of our efforts to aid victims of sexual assault, who are being helped at the Sexual Assault Center."
Community State Bank is locally owned and operated full service financial institution. Headquartered in St. Charles, Mich., the Bank has eight neighboring branches – St. Charles, Thomas Township, Birch Run, Chesaning, Montrose, Flushing, Albee Township, New Lothrop and a Loan Center in the city of Saginaw. Community State Bank has been serving the families, businesses, and farmers in the community for over 73 years. For more information, please visit gotocsb.com or call the Bank at 989-865-9945.
Carrie Schultz, of Child and Family Services of Saginaw accepts a check from John C. Wendling, First Vice President at Community State Bank.

Two Signs Your Country Has Gone to War
Big Media Push Escalation in Afghanistan and at Home
Noting how "the president has set a limit on the number of U.S. troops in Afghanistan. For now," FAIR associate Norman Solomon is letting Huffington Post readers know (7/9/09) "that's how escalation works. Ceilings become floors. Gradually": A few times since last fall, the Obama team has floated rising numbers for how many additional U.S. soldiers will be sent to Afghanistan. Now, deployment of 21,000 more is a done deal, with a new total cap of 68,000 U.S. troops in that country. Solomon warns that "'escalation' isn't mere jargon. And it doesn't just refer to what's happening outside the United […]

Should I go through with TPLO surgery?
I've really been trying to find a good answer as to what I should do when it comes to my dog. I have a 3 year old American Bulldog. About 70 pounds. Such a friendly, happy, and loving dog.
Back last year we started noticing that she was having a lot of difficulty walking around after sitting or laying down for a while. After a few vet visits, we found that that she has partially torn her ACL ligaments in her back legs. The back left being worse than the back right. The Vet I took her to, immediately recommended the TPLO surgery. After reading what it involved, i thought it would be better to get a 2nd opinion. She was moving around normally and it didn't appear that she had any sort of problem out in public. I took her to a very highly rated vet in my area. The vet checked out the X rays that were done and checked out her physical condition and thought that the surgery was probably not the best route to go down, but said i should reconsider if she gets worse.
Fast forward 8 months and everything is great... She's moving around excellent... she's going on walks.... she's playing with my other dog and all seems well until thanksgiving.... Someone left my back door open and she bolted out the back door into my Acre backyard. As soon as I saw her bolt out... i knew I was in trouble. I run out into the backyard and she slowed down so i could catch her and walk her back to the house.. she seemed to be in a little bit of discomfort. Sure enough, the next morning was like a living nightmare. She refused to walk. She didn't want to put any weight on her back legs. It was quite the project to try to help her outside to go to the bathroom. I ended up having to wrap a towel around her lower stomach and hold it up as a brace while she basically walked 90% on her front legs.
Day after day... week after week she's bouncing back more and more. So here we are halfway through February about 10 weeks after the thanksgiving incident and I'd say she's basically back to normal again. moving quickly around the house... Standing up on all 4's to eat food (which she used to want to sit down to take weight off her back legs). Playing tug of war with my older dog, and enjoying short walks up and down my street. I can really only notice a hint here and there of an issue. She certainly doesn't seem to be in any pain. Just when she gets up after sitting or laying down for a while, i can see where she might be in a little discomfort.
I am sitting here trying to figure out what to do. I've read big advocates on both sides. People that claim TPLO is a miracle surgery, and others saying its completely unnecessary and would never put their dogs through it. I'm mostly worried that she won't be able to live life to 100% without the surgery. I can't take her for much of a walk before she seems eager to go back and lay down. Also, I don't want to make my dog restricted to a leash her whole life. Not being able to go to the dog park and run around with other dogs outside without damaging her ligaments even more.
As i'm writing this, i'm looking over at my dog... she's standing up playing with my older dog and looks to be enjoying herself and quite happy. So, I'm really at a crossroads here. I really don't want to put my dog through surgery if its not the best for her. Money isn't a factor. Not that I'm loaded or anything... far from it. I'd just do/pay whatever was necessary for her.
It would be nice to hear from some people that were maybe in a similar situation that I'm in now. What did you end up doing? Any sort of advice or recommendations would be so incredibly helpful. Thank you very much for your time reading this.
I've been through TPLO, TTA, and suture surgery. All I can say is I'm glad I did all 3 and happy with the results.

It started at PO day 17 with a little white stringy pus coming out and now two days later it is a white cream cheese looking substance in the incision under the scab. I called my doctor before they closed for their Christmas holiday and my doctors 3 week vacation and the nurse called in Keflex for me and told me to call after the Holidays if it doesn't get better. Should I worry about the white stuff and that it is just opening more? Should I be worried about the opening and the white stuff?
My Incision is Opening at 19 Days Post Operation with White Pus and Now White Cream Cheese Look Inside the Wound? (photo)
Doctor Answers 10
Localized drainage from tummy tuck incision
Thanks for providing photos. Based on the photos, you have a small opening of your incision where the whitish drainage is coming from. It's probably devitalized tissues underneath the skin. You do have small and limited amount of redness at edge of the incision. It's good to quantify it by using a marking pen to outline the edge of the redness and see if it's expanding. The small opening should heal with proper local wound care. You should have your surgeon looking at it to make sure it's a minor delayed wound healing and nothing major. Typically when a surgeon goes on vacation, there is another surgeon who's "covering" for the vacationing surgeon. If the wound is separating more or redness is expanding then you should be seen sooner rather than later. What you are experiencing is not uncommon with an Inverted-T scar and usually appears near the T junction. The reason to see your surgeon is to make sure that there is nothing else going on beneath the skin.
Best Wishes,
My Incision is Opening at 19 Days
This does not look particularly alarming, as there seems to be little or no inflammation around the incision. It seems likely that this represents a "stitch abscess," a localized infection at the site of an undissolved suture, and the suture needs to be removed.
You really need to be seen by a doctor. Your surgeon should have a cross covering surgeon if he/she is away. If no other options you may need to try an urgent care center or ER. "Come back in a few weeks if not better" doesn't fly. If things get worse (redness, fever, chills, etc), do go to an ER.
Thanks and best wishes.
Drainage of pus from a wound after abdominoplasty should be examined by the surgeon.
The situation in the photograph does not look like a serious problem. However, it's just a photograph. I would recommend having the wound examined by a surgeon soon.

Small wound infection following an abdominoplasty
You have more than likely developed a small suture abscess under the scabbed area of your incision. This is not unusual and will require the suture to be removed. The antibiotic will make it better but it will continue to drain until the suture is removed.
Purulent drainage from wound
Thanks for your question and excellent pictures. You do not look like you have cellulitis (infection of the skin itself) and barring that you having fever or chills, I think you just have some wounds that are in the process of healing. I am a big advocate of keeping clean dressings over draining wounds.
Open Incision after Tummy Tuck
Based on your pictures, and assuming you aren't having signs of infection (significant fevers, chills, increased skin pain and redness), you should heal fine but it may require some time. You surgeon should have another surgeon who will "cover" for him or her while out of town, so if things get worse, ask to be seen by someone else.
White Stuff in Incision after Tummy Tuck
The opening may be just a little delayed wound healing, and the white material may not be pus. You should always be worried about infection, but, in the absence of an area of redness or fever or fluid collection or pain at the site, oral antibiotics and observation is appropriate. My suspicion is that you will heal wihout any repercussions as a result of this. However, keep in contact with the surgeon if anything changes.
Pus Coming out of my Tummy Tuck Incision and Doctor on Vacation
Optimal medical care is provided by the ready availability of the healthcare provider. In cases where the patient has had a surgical procedure, a physician knowledgable in the same specialty should examine the patient when the patient notes a post-operative complication.
All plastic surgeons have a colleague backing them up when they are not available or out of town.
You should ask to be referred to that person for evaluation and treatment now, even though as many colleagues have noted, the problem is not uncommon and usually heals fine. But it does require in person evaluation, and it is possible that a more serious infection could result if this local area is not opened and cleaned up, of either a stitch or some small amount of devitalized skin or fat.
My Incision is Opening at 19 Days Post Operation with White Pus and Now White Cream Cheese Look Inside the Wound?
You have skin edge necrosis that needs in person medical attention. I "hope" your chosen doc has a cross cover doc not just a nurse. DEMAND to be seen by a doctor!
Is The White Stuff In My Abdominal Incision A Sign Of Infection?
Dear Audrey, Thank you for your photographs and this very appropriate question. The good news is except for the white material you refer to, there are no other signs of infection on your abdominal incision. Normally, if you were infected, there would be redness around the open wound. The white material you are referring to, and that is seen in your photograph, is more than likely a dissolving stitch or a dissolvable staple that has failed to dissolve.
All good plastic surgeons in abdominoplasties, just below the skin surface, place either dissolvable stitches or dissolvable staples or both. The process that dissolve these stitches creates a white creamy substance similar to pus, however the difference is no bacteria is present. Due to normal tensions and the dissolving of these sutures, sometimes lead to small wound openings that normally cure themselves. This is more than likely what is going on with you.
All that being said, you need a face to face evaluation by a physician. I am sure your doctor has left another physician to follow his or her practice while he or she is out of town. Online evaluations by plastic surgeons may be useful, but nothing beats an in person evaluation. If I were you, I would call the doctor's nurse and ask to be seen before the holidays are over.
In my practice, any patient who calls concerned about an infection gets seen whether the doctor is out of town or not.
These answers are for educational purposes and should not be relied upon as a substitute for medical advice you may receive from your physician. If you have a medical emergency, please call 911. These answers do not constitute or initiate a patient/doctor relationship.

Overcoming malnutrition in all of its forms – caloric undernourishment, micronutrient deficiencies and obesity – requires a combination of interventions in different areas that guarantee the availability of and access to healthy diets. Among the key areas, interventions are required in food systems, public health systems and the provision of safe water and sanitation. This pocketbook not only focuses on indicators of food security and nutritional outcomes but also on the determinants that contribute to healthy lives. The pocketbook is structured in two sections: Thematic spreads related to food security and nutrition, including detailed food consumption data collected from national household budget surveys; Comprehensive country and regional profiles with indicators categorized by anthropometry, nutritional deficiencies, supplementation, dietary energy supplies, preceded by their "setting". The setting provides demographic indicators as well as health status indicators based on mortality patterns and the provision of safe water and sanitation. Anthropometry indicators provide information not only on the prevalence of acute and chronic forms of under-nutrition but also on the prevalence of obesity. Their co-existence is often referred to as the double burden of malnutrition. Nutritional deficiency indicators reveal food security issues at the national level based on the adequacy of energy supplies; they also reveal the prevalence of micronutrient deficiencies, often referred to as "hidden hunger". Combined with anthropometric measurements, they allow for the identification of the triple burden of malnutrition (under-nutrition, obesity and hidden hunger). Regarding hidden hunger, indicators concerning iodine and vitamin A have been selected. Dietary indicators are based on national food supplies and inform on the overall quality of diets. Focus is also on the importance of diets during the first 1 000 days of an infant's life, with indicators selected on the quality of breastfeeding, dietary diversity and meal frequency.
As part of a three-phase project, the Food Security Information Network (FSIN) sponsored a comparative study of the globally managed cross-country price and market information systems to assess complementarities and overlaps.
This report contains a review of these databases in terms of data collection, quality control mechanisms, management, use, analysis methods and tools. It includes recommendations to improve the integration and harmonization of the FAO, WFP and FEWS NET databases, in order to improve efficiency and enhance inter-operability.
A second phase is underway to begin implementing these recommendations, identify gaps in existing guidance, and review how market price data are collected and used in selected countries.
The ultimate objective of the project is to facilitate national capacity development on FSN information systems based on expressed demands.
This paper published by the Food Security Information Network (FSIN) proposes a common analytical model that comprises six components upon which resilience measurement may be based. It also:
The next outputs of the TWG will be short papers which contain guidance in targeted areas of resilience measurement.
The Food Security Information Network (FSIN) supports the development and harmonization of resilience measurement methods. A technical working group composed of renowned experts was constituted to lead the identification of resilience measurement principles and the development of a common analytical framework and technical guidelines for measurement.
This paper is an initial step toward the development of resilience measurement design used by stakeholders (e.g. programme staff, monitoring and evaluation, policy makers). It outlines:
This publication is the first in a series of three papers that will be issued over the course of the next year, which will focus on an analytical framework that addresses the challenges, issues and concerns associated with resilience measurement.

Regal Union Square Stadium 14
850 Broadway,
New York,
15 people favorited this theater
Showing 1 - 25 of 43 comments
ON a quick trip to NYC this weekend from London…caught Spotlight…great picture but what a dump…Badly lit inside Concessions emptied out for a 9pm show on a Sunday night What a treat to have reserved seating in most multis here in the UK This theatre badly needs an update or reconfiguring
The upside respectful audiences (once they found seats) that actually bothered to watch the credits
This theater will be one of 30 that will show the new star wars teaser this weekend before its global release next month. Interstellar had a 35mm release here a few weeks ago.
I think they may be referring to the Acme.
This link — (which also has a photo of this house) — View link — mentions an "historic Union Square Theater" being torn down. Was that a playhouse, because I haven't heard of it before.
It has all the charm of the Port Authority Bus Terminal; all that's missing are announcements of departure times and gate assignments.
Wrong link, Chuck.
I've never had a mouse problem here. I like this theater.
The theatre opened on November 13th, 1998 and the premiere engagements were Meet Joe Black (on four screens), I Still Know What You Did Last Summer (on three screens), Dancing At Lughnasa (on two screens), Lolita (the remake), There's Something About Mary, Saving Private Ryan, Welcome To Woop Woop and Citizen Kane (a special reissue for the theatre's opening).
back in '99 I think Phantom Menace had its very first public preview screening at this theatre?
Going to get even worse if Regal ever decides to get rid of the union projectionists, like they did around the rest of the country.

I'm surprised that the city health inspectors haven't shut down the theatre from the rodent issues like they did with that Taco Bell.
I've never been to New York but if I do come, I probably won't go here due to my fear of rats and mice.
Off the top my head movietickets.com does it for certain theaters (IFC Center) and I think Film Forum lists what shows in what theater, but there is no online source to the best of my knowledge and I really do wish their was – especially for Union Square. However, I don't think would theaters want that out there (unless they are advertising its on a "Super Screen" "I-Max" or in "DLP Digital Cinema") – its like a bait and switch. Sometimes you can figure it out if you call the theater and get their recorded show time line, but too often those lines refer you into a central call center which sucks because I've had an experience where a theater chain has made a data entry error and the wrong film was reported online, to the papers and on the theater's voice recording. The result, I showed up to an AMC in New Jersey to see Idiocracy only to be told I had been sold a ticket through movietickets.com for Jackass (even though I had my confirmation stating I had 2 adult tickets for Idiocracy). There is a world of difference there, I wouldn't trust such a listing if it existed, sorry because theater size changes at some locations daily and by showtime, and even at the last minute. You know who would have this information, the movietickets.com and the fandangos that offer the ability to print your tickets at home, I wish they'd offer that up without having to drop $12 and a service fee per ticket.
Does anyone know an online source that lists BY SCREEN NUMBER what movies are playing at this theater? I hate showing up and then learning that my movie is playing on the dinkiest screen in the theater. The NYT prints this info in its weekend edition, but you can't find it online.
I just wanted to get any feedback on the "Original Halloween" screening over the last 2 nights at certain Regal/AMC theaters nationwide. It was from a HD source(720P?).
I saw Halloween in NYC Hallowen night & was pretty disappointed. While it wasn't an ntsc dvd, it was disappointing for no screen masking to cover up 2.35 letterboxing on the HD.I do so enjoy seeing 2 different blacks on display. It also came from the pre-show projector which to me, is not a good way to market Digital Cinema.The theater should use the higher quality projectors when they are charging us normal admission.
I was also hoping they could've removed more grain in the HD transfer.
When it was over, I would've preferred a slightly dirty film print.
Can anyone give me more technical info and/or observations.
I actually have found the Union Square Regal to be clean, mice free and quite handy with my living in the area.
Was just there for "DaVinci Code" and, god help me, "Just my Luck" and had a good time.
LuisV, AMC has the AMC Loews 34th Street, the AMC Empire 25, the AMC Loews Lincoln Square 12 & IMAX, and until it is sold, the AMC Loews E-Walk 13.
My 3 favorite AMC Theatres to see films in are: AMC Empire 25, AMC Neshaminy 24 (located in Bensalem, PA), and AMC Pleasure Island 24 (located in Lake Buena Vista, FL).
My favorite REG Theatres to see films in are: REG King Of Prussia Stadium 16 (located in King of Prussia, PA), REG Kaufman Astoria Stadium 14, and REG Oxford Valley Stadium 14 (located in Middletown Township-Langhorne, PA)
Hey Movie guy, Yes, I love Battery Park, AMC 42nd and Loew's E-Walk and 34th St, but I'm not changing my mind about Union Square (especially now that it appears mice are rampant (and the staff confirms it!) :–)
Hey Luis – I've never had a good experience at the 34th Street. I've been there maybe 8 times and something was wrong every time: low volume, muffled sound, blown out center speakers, film threaded backwards, blown out amplifiers, picture half off the screen… And only ONE single good experience at the AMC. In theatre six. For SHOPGIRL of all things. In comparison, I rarely have a bad experience at the Union Square. Have you tried Battery Park? It's quite excellent. I also like the E-Walk…
Hi Movieguy – I agree that they can't help who they attract and for NYU kids the location can't be beat. Just the same i would much rather go to Loew's (or should I now say AMC) 34th St or AMC 25 to see films. I much prefer these theaters (although the bathroom situation on 34th St. is very peculiar). Though I don't like Union Sqaure I occassionally go because there are so few theaters left in Manhattan. And that is sad!
Hi Luis – I agree that their customer service is lousy – particularly the concessionaires and ushers. Most of the managers are acommodating and they really can't do anything about the type of crowd they attract. I mean, they're next door to the NYU dorms. I rarely go to the movies on weekends, so I tend not to have the crowd problems and I've never seen the Union Square in any condition you'd call filthy. I did not like this place when it first opened (small screens, small rooms, sound issues) but it is now one of the three best theatres in the city that you can depend on for good presentation
I have a few things to say. First to hardbop, the disco down 14th St. was the Palladium, not the Paramount. The other theater hulk one block east of Palladium was the Jefferson. Second, I really can't stand the Union Square multiplex. It is the only one in Manhattan that I avoid at all costs. Those times that I do go it isn't pleasant. The place is almost always filthy and not only the bathrooms. Though I've never seen mice there, I'm not surprised because there is trash everywhere. Second, on many occasions they have been "out" of certain concessions that I requested or they would say "We don't have that here, you have to go to the other stand" This was infuriating since I had already waited a lengthy amount of time on line. I find customer service here is poor. Finally, I am past the age that I enjoy going to the theater with a bunch of college kids. My experience, and many of my friends agree, that Loew's and AMC manage their theaters much better than this one. For now Regal has no incentive to change, many people decide to put up with it. I don't. Ok, now I feel better! :–)
I happen to work at this Regal. So allow me to share from an employee's perspective on any of these issues.
First and foremost, the everpopular mice issue.
Yes we have mice. I can't exactly support my argument with "So what? All buildings in NYC have mice! GIVE US A BREAK," because we are a corporate company whom deals with those matters in a professional manner. Managers have constantly gotten in contact with exterminators and they do the best they can to resolve this problem but we can only go so far. Them mice are tricky animals. And don't worry, they would never get in your popcorn. We pop our popcorn every five minutes are so, so it is hot and fresh. Plus these is no way a mouse could ever climb in there because the only opening is on the front where we have access to it. I have dealt with this machine may times to know this.
High prices. Yes ridiculously high. I feel guilty giving a person a popcorn after they spend 5.50 on it. The one thing that upsets me the most is when customers complain to my face telling me that we should consider lowering these prices. Besides the fact that I DON'T CONTROL THE PRICES along with everyone else who works at the theater, there is good reason for this. As mentioned before, yes rent in Manhatten is expensive. If anyone has ever used a premere ticket or a VIP pass from any Regal, you may notice on the back the fine print which states that only in Manhatten an extra surcharge of 1.50 may be applicable.
Movie tickets are currently 10.75. Keep in mind that a huge chunk of it goes to the producers, directors, actors, etc. I'm not exactly sure what percentage we get but it is highly insignifant in comparison with our concession prices.
We are trained to be good salesmen. We upsell whenever we can. It is policy that we do so. So don't get mad at us when we do it. I have had some customers give me this response "Just GET ME what I asked for." I usually politly tell them that we have to do it. Sometimes they get even more angry so I simply tell them "Sir, if you have a problem you can go to www.regalcinemas.com, write a complaint, give them my name and date of visit, and they'll be happy to know I'm doing my job.
Really the money in concessions is barely enough for us to pay rent, pay employees(including nightcrew), buy more products, etc. It's a buisness. The law of supply and demand definetly apply here. No one is allowed to bring in outside food or drink products unless it is water or unless they are diabetic. I have had one customer said she was going to bring their own food next time. I told her she wasn't allowed to and she said that I wouldn't know anyway. I was offended. Things like that effect my paycheck. It is truely an insult.
Simply… if you're not hungry, do not buy food.
If you want free food?
Sign up for our Regal Crown Club. It's FREE! What do you get? Free small popcorn on tuesday, every tuesday no matter what. Every dollar you spend you get a point that can get you free stuff (popcorn, soda, AND movie tickets).
If you're looking for a "deal" (used loosely) get a combo and you can get a candy for two dollars instead of 3.75. That's the best kind of deal we can give right now. It is working great however.
Marques… us being lazy? Ridiculous. You're being lazy here. Just walk inside and check. We just want to show the popular movies on the marque. How boring would it be if we ran on the marque every single movie… It would take quite some time.
I hope that answers some of the concerns that were on this board. If you guys have another question please feel free to comment on contact me. I'll be happy to answer.
Yeah and a few years ago they upgraded the theater to look more like a Regal, including changing signs, lobby areas and the color scheme of the theaters themselves.

A representative for Lafarge, who purchased the concrete plant in 2001, questioned the accuracy of Stone's research.
"We haven't been able to review any findings, so we can't comment specifically on that," said Environmental Manager John Reagan. He added that the plant is routinely examined by the DEC and state Department of Health.
"Their analyses have stated that our plant is safe," he said. "The work that they've done to date is that they've analyzed emissions from our plant and compared that to guidelines for human healthour plant complies with some of the most strict regulations in the world."
Lafarge is embarking on a modernization effort, said Reagan, and is in the permitting process for the required work. He said that he hopes the new processes will be operational in 2013.
Until then, Stone advised that nearby residents do not need to alter their lifestyle considerably, but should probably think twice about eating fish from the Hudson or nearby bodies of water.
"Every animal that we've looked at in this area have had mercury in them, even the grasshoppers," he said.
For CASE, the focus now shifts to the future and raising money to test for the presence of hydrochloric acid, particulates and carcinogens, said Kunz. Their intent is to make the area safer, not to destroy industry, she said.
"It's not our goal to shut Lafarge down, we're acutely aware of the economic role they play in this community," Kunz said.

Surprise your Valentine with these super simple chocolate truffles. A raspberry M&M in the center brings in a surprise flavor!
Happy birthday to my sister Janell!! I hope you have a great day today!
I thought I was done with the Valentine's sweets after Red Velvet week. But here I am, bringing you one more treat! This one is so simple that anyone could make it, and it would be a great gift for loved ones, friends or neighbors!
Have you seen these raspberry m&ms? I ran across a bag of them over a month ago, and I couldn't not buy them. I put them in my cart, thinking that I would use them for something fantastic. I thought and thought, and couldn't decide what I wanted to make with them. There's always cookies. Or brownies. But I never thought of something good enough to actually get me into the kitchen to actually make something using them.
But then yesterday, I had an idea pop into my head. What if I made truffles, and stuck an m&m in the center? I thought it was worth a try! If you haven't made truffles before, it doesn't get easier than this. In fact, I had
everything both ingredients on hand, so it was a no-brainer to try them and see how they would turn out. At first I was afraid that the m&m would just get lost in the center, that the chocolate from the truffle would overpower the m&m and you wouldn't even be able to taste it – or know that it was there. But I was pleasantly surprised when I bit into one and the m&m gave the truffle so much flavor! I actually ended up really surprised at how much flavor it actually gave to the whole truffle. And if you don't have or can't find the raspberry m&ms, I'm sure another flavor would work great – and the truffles are delicious without the filling, too!
I think that these are such a great Valentine's Day gift for so many reasons. First, they are delicious. Second, they look like you spent a ton of time making them, but in reality, they come together super fast. You do have to wait for the chocolate to set up before rolling them into balls, but the actual hands on time is very minimal. And third, a homemade gift is a bazillion times better than some generic store-bought box of chocolates. And I can guarantee that these taste better – and cost less – than one of those boxes of chocolates! These chocolate truffles are a great way to say "I Love You!"
- 3 cups chocolate chips
- 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 30-60 Raspberry M&Ms
- assorted sprinkles, colored sugar, powdered sugar, etc.
- In a saucepan over medium-low, combine the chocolate chips and the sweetened condensed milk. Stir together until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Place in a bowl and refrigerate for 2 hours.
- Using a small cookie scoop or a spoon, take about a tablespoon of the chocolate mixture. Roll it into a ball, putting one m&m in the center of the ball. Roll in sprinkles, colored sugar, powdered sugar or chopped nuts.
- Store in the refrigerator until ready to eat. (I like to bring mine to room temperature before eating.)

these are so cute and pretty! I just posted truffles on my blog today too I love the surprise you have inside yours. Happy birthday to your sister
How simple and delicious! Love love love!
They are so pretty and must atste just divine.
wow they look detailed and full of awessome goodness. I d love to pick one or too out of my screen. Great idea and the colores just fit so well together.
Look at how cute those are! I want to pet them.
These are lovely, Deborah! I love the unique M&M's that are available. Love these!
Oh Deborah, these are gorgeous! I'll take 2 dozen. Do you ship?
Seriously, so beautiful!
These are just adorable! What a great idea. Definitely will be making these!
Yes please!! These are so pretty!
These are darling! Love it!
Love the valentine sprinkles you added, they add a nice burst of color!
Deb, you're dishes are always so delightful but this is just the yummiest, prettiest, must have creation. I just love these little things.
I can't wait to make these for my Air Force boy. He'll love a gift like this from him Mama.
I have never tried this recipe for truffles but I now have it bookmarked! They look so beautiful and perfect!
I wish I could make these and stop at just one!
Once I tried making truffles and it was a disaster. I think I used too much liquid because they they would not harden, no matter what I tried. This looks fail proof. Hopefully! So I will definitely be trying this. Plus raspberry m&ms, what a dream! I love raspberry with chocolate. Pooh, mint m&Ms would be crazy good too. Thanks for sharing!
So cute. I love the new raspberry m&m's so I'd probably eat a dozen of these just to get to 'em!
I love the idea of putting the M&M in the middle of the truffle and truffles is something I've been wanting to make since I saw Giada make them on her show! I'm going to look for these M&M's and if I don't get around to making these truffles then I know my little Eden would be thrilled to see she has a new potty training treat
How can something so beautiful be so simple? I love it! I'm scared though. If I were to make these, I'd eat them until my belly hurt.
Especially since I can't find those M&M's ANYWHERE, this would be the best surprise center EVER.
seems like everyone else gets the good M&M's but not here.
that last photo is really good Deb!!
Haha! I made chocolate truffles a few days ago to share as my last Valentine's recipe this week. Mine are just plain chocolate truffles but I love your version with the hidden M&M!
what a clever idea, deborah, and it worked out so well!
These are adorable! I love how cute they are for valentines day.
I made these last night! theyre sooo easy and so delicious! I couldnt find Raspberry mnms so I just used these peanutbutter ones i found. Still came out delish!
Thank you for this recipe!! I made truffles from the Nestle website mistakenly thinking they knew what they were talking about and they were terrible!!! They would not stay together when I tried to roll them. The just melted immediately. These were awesome!! I rolled all them and they never melted in my hands. I used cherry M&M's and they are good too.

Beware SLIME tire sealant eats aluminum
I put SLIME tire sealant in my tires, I have aluminum rims. About 7 months later I had to replace a tire, when I removed the tire and washed the rim there where hard green blobs on my rim. I took a wire wheel on a drill to remove the green blobs and under the blobs the rim had been eaten up by the Slime tire sealant. The eaten up spots ranged from 0.005 inch to 0.05 inch deep and 0.1 to 0.2 inch in diameter. I had hundreds of these spots on my rims. I took the tires off my other 5 rims and the same thing had happen to them. I called OMF Wheels to see if they seen this problem, they told me that SLIME tire sealant eats aluminum and will eat holes in the rims. OMF Wheels told me the tire sealants that are safe for aluminum rims are Barrymans tire sealant and Amerseal tire sealant. OMF Wheels said if the aluminum rim is powder coated then SLIME tire sealant would be OK to use, but if you have brakes in the power coat the SLIME would eat the rim in those areas. My rims are mess up now I have many hundreds of eaten up spots on my rims , some are 0.05 inch deep.

Re: Beware SLIME tire sealant eats aluminum
Here are pictures of the rim with the eaten up areas on it. I have a cheap camera so it does a poor job picking up fine details. When you look a the rims in person it looks real bad

Re: Beware SLIME tire sealant eats aluminum
Maybe you could clean the rims real good and put on a coat or two of some kind of sealer and keep on using them. Thanks for the warning about slime, i will not use that brand now.

Re: Beware SLIME tire sealant eats aluminum
So far I've had great luck with Slime. Been using it for a few years for various vehicles around the place. I think I remember there being a warning somewhere that there might be damage with aluminum rims.
I also know that they're always talking about it being environmentally safe so I doubt it's toxic. I've washed it out before (with just water) and never had issues with it in contact to my skin. Not that I'd recommend using it as hand soap or anything
Regardless that's a shame..and not a happy surprise for anyone. Hope you have better luck.

Re: Beware SLIME tire sealant eats aluminum
This is is on FAQ slimE site:
•I've heard that SLiME will ruin my rims?
Our SLiME Sealant for tubeless tires is formulated with rust and corrosion inhibitors as well as a pH buffer making the product more alkaline. All of these ingredients work to protect the integrity of your rim. It is important to note there are factors which can allow damage to occur in spite of this. If you want to err on the side of caution, you can use SLiME as a roadside repair. All you need is SLiME and an air compressor! SLiME can have an adverse affect on certain types of aluminum rims. Because alloys differ, it is difficult to predict how SLiME will react with your rims specifically. Over the years, though, we have found that older rims are more susceptible to damage from SLiME. Make sure that, if you have tubeless tires, you are using our tubeless formula. Our inner tube formula does not contain rust and corrosion inhibitors. Do not leave SLiME inside your tires for more than 2 years. After that time, we cannot guarantee the integrity of your rims. If pre-existing damage is present, we do not recommend using SLiME.
Did you know that there was a tubeless formula.

Re: Beware SLIME tire sealant eats aluminum
I used the Tire Sealant. I did not use the Tube Sealant. My rims where 8 months old, I had they custom built by OMF Wheels. The SLIME sealant was in my tires for 7 months. So Beware.
