The "Dancing with the Stars" fall 2014 season premieres Sept. 15 on ABC as an all-new cast of celebrity characters begins the quest to capture the coveted mirror ball trophy. Although the proposed lineup of stars and their professional partners is still tightly under wraps, an Aug. 8 reveal by the official Twitter account for the popular ABC show "Good Morning America" teased a big announcement for the week of Aug. 11.
The excruciatingly vague tweet read "Get ready to rumba! Big @DancingABC news next week on @GMA that we can't wait to share...Stay tuned! #DWTS." The post gave no specific date for the planned announcement.
The post ignited a blaze of fan speculation. Twitter user @StefaniaGreco72 theorized that the announcement would reveal season 19's pro cast, and hoped to see her three favorite men in the mix. She tweeted "...I hope I hear the word Chmerkovskiy , Dovolani or Byalikov!! Otherwise I won't be happy..."
The Twitter account for the "Wendy Williams Show" tossed out a different theory, suggesting that the big reveal might have something to do with former pro and reigning "DWTS" champion Maksim Chmerkovskiy's show status. Although the tall, Ukrainian heartthrob previously announced that he wouldn't return to the show in search of another trophy, he didn't rule out the possibility of assuming a seat at the judges' table. With head judge Len Goodman's status uncertain, Chmerkovskiy could take up a pair of paddles alongside long-time panelists Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli.
The big announcement could also be something as simple as the official date for the cast reveal. Although spoiler source @DWTSGossip previously shared that the lineup will be made public on Sept. 4, neither the network nor anyone from "DWTS" has yet to confirm the report.
Other than Chmerkovskiy's decision to retire from the competitive side of "DWTS," little is known about the upcoming season's pro cast. No dancers have confirmed their respective returns, and only two have confirmed that they will not return. Tristan MacManus, who last worked with legendary actress Valerie Harper during season 17, will dance as part of the cast of "Strictly Come Dancing," while Kym Johnson will continue her duties as a judge for "DWTS Australia."
"Dancing with the Stars" season 19 begins Sept. 15 on ABC. Follow the show's official Twitter page for updates.

Zu Chongzhi (425-500), born in Fanyang (now
Laiyuan County in Hebei Province), was a great mathematician and astronomer
during the Northern and Southern Dynasty (220-581). His main contribution to the
development of science and technology includes the computation of pi, the
calculation of the volume of sphere, the compilation of the Daming Calendar
(462), and the invention of the south-pointing carriage.
Zu Chongzhi's main contribution to
math is the computation of pi. Records show that Zu worked out the numerical
value of pi -- between 3.1415926 and 3.1415927. It was the most advanced
achievement worldwide at that time. Such precision was not surpassed until the
15th century when Al'Kashi, a native of Samarkand (now Uzbekistan), calculated
pi using a similar method. To honor Zu's great contribution to math, some
foreign math historian suggested calling pi "Zu Lv (the rate of Zu)". It is
astonishing that Zu made the calculation even before the invention of the
abacus, so he did all the work using nothing more than wooden counting
Zu Chongzhi and his son, Zu Geng, also
managed to put forward the formula for computation of the volume of a sphere.
Zhui Shu by Zu Chongzhi, one of the ten books on Suan Jing, was
adopted as the textbook for mathematics in the Tang Dynasty
In astronomy, Zu Chongzi created the Daming
Calendar, taking into consideration the precession of the equinoxes for the
first time in China. This was a major breakthrough in the history of Chinese
Zu was successful in producing a new system,
but the new idea got tangled up in red tape. Ministers of the imperial court
spent two years arguing about whether they should use the new Daming Calendar
and might have gone on even longer if the emperor of the time hadn't passed
away. Zu never saw his Daming Calendar put to use. A decade after Zu's death,
the Calendar was at last recognized with years' of efforts by Zu's
Zu was also good at machine making. He
invented the south-pointing bronze carriage and 1000-li Boat which could travel
100 li (1 li = 1/2 kilometers) in a day.
Zu was one of the few Chinese mathematicians
to have a lunar feature named after him. People named a lunar crater at the back
of the moon Zu Chongzhi in commemoration of him. Crater Zu Chongzhi (listed in
the International Astronomical Union's handbook as Crater Tsu Chung Chi) is 28
km wide and located about 20 degrees north of the moon's equator. And the planet
1888 was named "Planet Zu Chongzhi".

Joe Newby, Policy & Issues Examiner, posted an article Friday with this headline:
"Chuck Schumer blames Tea Party racism for failure to pass amnesty"
The liberal/progressive obsession with racism just won't die.
The time is long past when the old phony slight-of-mouth blathering racism gimmick has not only become utterly ineffective but is just plain bothersome, boring, and embarrassing.
Playing the race card utterly, totally, spectacularly jumped the shark long before the end of the last century but these old mainstream status quo partyarch dinosaur political plodders just never got the #Stupid post.
All over the middle and Southern parts of America in small towns and farms where they seem to be absolutely invisible to the groupthink zeitgeisty metrosexual liberal/progressive/Marxists who infest the trendy parts of our major cities there live millions upon millions of good, sincere conservative people who drive the Meals on Wheels vehicles, tithe to the churches that support the orphanages and women's shelters, teach their children not to hit, bully or lie, and take covered dishes to neighbors who are sick.
There are actually millions upon millions of good, sincere liberal people in these same regions who do similar good works in their communities but they too are apparently invisible to the bicoastal condo crowd of collectivists.
But according to the Progressive Catechism all who live in Fly-Over Country are conservatives, meaning they're all Tea Party participants, meaning they're all racist.
It's just so much easier to paste labels on people and spit out hate speech than it is to treat individuals as individuals.
It seems to be utterly lost on the multitude of Chuck Shumers that virtually every family in the country today are more Modern Family than the "Modern Family" TV show.
Nearly everyone is part of an extended family that includes a white husband or a black wife or a Mexican uncle or a gay son or a Japanese Republican lesbian living with her atheist libertarian partner. Throw in a transsexual here, a Buddhist there and you get a fairly accurate cross section of today's American family.
They're not even called mixed marriages or interracial couples or gay unions any more. They're just called "family."
So where in hell is all this racism coming from?
It's coming from old decaying, out-of-touch, past their sell-by-date mainstream political hacks who think a hashtag is a tic tac toe game.
Schumer is a shuck-and-jivin' race baiter.

We may not be changing our name to Video Kill-Pilot but today we are releasing a free Halloween Model pack with 13 spook-tastic models! "Spook-tastic"? … What am I talking about?
These models are ready to use with Element 3D inside of After Effects or import the OBJ files into your favorite 3D program, the texture files are universal too.
UPDATED: Fixed Skull model bug and UV's in C4D.
Download Halloween Pack and Experiment now!
Now… why are we doing a lot of 3D stuff? Is Video Copilot Changing? Should I investigate that strange sound outside near that trail of blood?
I would say that Video Copilot is evolving along with the industry to keep pace with the ambitious demands of modern advertising and film. More and more we see movies and commercials that use elaborate 3D animation that require a dedicated 3D application.
So we came up with a plug-in called Element 3D that bridges that gap between After Effects and a full 3D program. It offers many great capabilities of a traditional 3D program and majorly expands the capability of your favorite software After Effects. This way the skills that you have learned over the past few years can continue to grow with the plug-in's new capabilities.
YES we earn money by selling our Plug-ins and that is the main source for keeping the website running and our 10+ employees. But Element 3D truly offers capabilities that were simply not available before. Like realtime 3D models in After Effects with all of the advanced features like Depth of Field and Ambient Occlusion to name a few. I can't even count how many tutorials I've created in the past dedicated to making things LOOK 3D-ish…
We also get people telling us that we could have charged much more for the plug-in but we wanted to make it as affordable as possible. Of course, we will continue to do traditional compositing tutorials like before but we also want to add more 3D stuff to the candy bowl.
Stuff like the Airplane from the Mid-Air Emergency video is actually easy to do with Element 3D but might otherwise be difficult with a dedicated 3D program. I even used Element 3D to create the recent Fringe Intro for FOX and the animated vegetation in the REVOLUTION intro on NBC. So when you think about all the small things that are possible with Element 3D, it's actually kinda SCARY.
Happy Halloween and enjoy that Candy Corn!
is it possible to buy a element3d pack for christmas models, our company will start on making camapigns soon for christmas, so it would be awesome.
5 placeholders of text and video or image.
you can switch it to day or night by switching the background!

Happy Halloween!
It's actually near a familiar fence that I sat on for years regarding learning a 3D program.
I'm a part timer - so the demand was not strong enough to push me off that fence.
Starting to devote more time and focus to video production.
This Element 3D seems like a good bridge towards getting me off the fence.
The tipping point - looks like a good amount of resources (model pack, tutorials, etc) will keep coming.
Makes the cost look even better. Cause I agree - it's a good price.
I wish the Halloween pack came out sooner.
Would have purchased the program (now going to anyway ...but) and could have used towards a video invite I created for a Halloween bash.
I did use some of the Video Copilot "Action Essentials and "Designer Sound FX" for the video.
see link;
For the sake of consistency - and for those that may have picked up on this.
I grabbed your free pack and used the obj's in quick Halloween piece for our website.... bit of fun thrown together in a day. Can bee seen at www.sparklevfx.com ..
I leave here a small video hhehehehheehhe, the guy I'm msm video, vin diesel cover: D
'm going in that class

Thank you for everything.
i started a year ago to use AE. Now a few weeks ago i ranked second at a swiss movie competition. thank you andrew for being a great example!
movie (given topig: water) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yg0pQOApFYU
for example i tried to build a graveyard. I used group 1 for the plane, group 2 for the first gravestone, group 3 for the text on the gravestone, group 4 for the 2nd gravestone and group 5 for another text. But now i cant add any more objects in my scene cause if i use another solid, add element 3d i can use more objects but they are actually not in the same scene, i mean they don't disappear behind the objects from my other solid. Is it possible to get more groups or can i just put more solids with element 3d in the same scene somehow ?(sorry for my english i'm german)
1. Logo
2. 3 action shots with crossbow bolt.
so thanks again andrew
What you think about windows 8, you will use it?
Thanks Andrew
Your work helps me. Thanks.
Doing A VFX Shot. Here is still Image Of That
(I just focoused on its lighting and shadow part)
Thanks to VCP for the awesome freebies!
i have a question ...
How do u set up UV & texture for ur 3d models or how do u export them for E3D,that easy & ready to use (just drag and don!)
i created a headphone in 3ds max and i just wanted to render it in E3D like ur's .. i have some UV problem and i don't know what to do ... can u HELP me PLZZZZZ
Sorry for my poor English !
thanks a lot Andrew , this is a cool pack for E3D .
Honestly because of your working and tutorials.. which gave me hope.. lmao... I think might be going into the career of Film and Media Production.. I gave up because I thought i couldn't do all that technical editing and effect stuff but I came upon you're site and found your tutorials now I'm learning and working on a web series and will be submitting my video and media portfolio to the universities for admission. Thank you Andrew once again
The chainsaw model kills my copy of AE too... :(
Just hangs when trying to import the model into the E3D scene editor.
I have a pretty beefy system too so I doubt its a lack of RAM or GPU power. (i7 3770K, 660Ti and 16gb RAM).
But you can DOWNLOAD THE UPDATE now !! :)
Six months ago I found VC and I have spent hours watching everyone of your tutorials TWICE or even more, and what did it cost me? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
Coz you guys are basically training me F.O.C.
I work in Print and have been using Illustrator and photoshop since 1989. I have worked for companies that are GLOBAL in creative fields, but I have always wanted to do Video FX. So at 44 I said "Less talk, more action" so here I am!!!
I just bought the elements 3d Pack for $250 or £155.60 in real money ;-). But am I ready to use this product?
No not yet but I still bought it!!!! WHY???
I bought Elements 3D for the following reasons...
To support the whole VC team financially, as the world would be a poorer place without you guys.
Its an AMAZING product! Not full 3D but you don't profess to sell it as 3DS or the like.
Pound for pound - this is cheap. But you guys are right. Make it affordable and more will buy.
(Its nice to know that someone ain't trying to rip you off!!)
So can I just say to everyone out there. £156 is about a DAYS work in the UK. This product will save you well more than a day in time doing stuff. It will increase your ability to sell your products by showcasing a Broadcast Quality Cut. And its so adaptable that the limit is literally your imagination!!!
EXCELLENT value for money. EXCELLENT product. EXCELLENT tuition (Lynda.com AE tuition is good, but its nowhere near is usefully as Andrew Kramers tutorials and they charge!!!)
Keep up the good work guys!!
love u........................
I have a problem, sorry for my bad english...
in 3d element, my object dont have any texture (ı have in my folder but ı dont see in program) object are only black i'm update texture in materyal but nothing happent do.
please help me...
I hope you can understand my questions. thanks...
Thanks a lot :)
Love U VC :)
Happy Halloween and best wishes :)
Just a thought :-)
And as you said we would buy it if it would even 10 times compare as the price right now. Because your products plugin and stock footage are really awesome than others and you have really a good heart and give us lot of things even free. If there would be anyone else even if there is a lot of sites they make everything sell. Thts shows money is not everything for you. You make your fans and supporters happy. You are true heroic character in this industry :D
Loves from all of us. Happy advance hallowen to you too
But the chainsaw crushes my AE?! Some Idea?
You guys rock!
Just too bad so many people are ripping your hard work....
anyway! Loving Element 3D. Learning everyday!
/the Dahls
thanks a lot
((love you )) sorry a i am a boy
Would you mind, if you EVER get the time(haha), doing a quickie with how you did the (R)evolution sequence at the end of that intro? Twitch, I'm assuming?
Click on my name thats my page and i will send my profile link from there as messege :))
Great details, thanks VCP.
Plus, Element 3D can be used to create amazing stereoscopic 3D animations.
Look forward to purchasing the city pack for E3D when it comes out.
God's blessings to you and your staff for always surprising us and for moving creativity forward.
1.) Don't ever apologize for making an honest living.
2.) I hope you receive an Academy award for technical achievement for Element 3D or some of your film work. I hope someone nominates you real soon!
You're the best!!
thanks for this project Andrew, and to all the videocopilot team!
You will never be forgiven... not even in the least sense... for killing Sam so early!
:D He looks young for his age in your previous videos. I mean, for a 94-95 year old.
Now that the Android is no longer working due to heavy use in videos, its resting "in pieces" (As seen on the Gravestone).
Meanwhile Sam Loya cloned himself to appear younger than 95 in the upcomning videos!
Very exciting random story :D
I bought element en pro-shaders last week and i love it! Keep up the good work!
Thank you for your dedication Andrew Kramer. We would be lost without you.
the texture is very realistic end also color correction
well done
By the way World is gonna end in 58 days :p
Some guys horde ALL the talent... sheesh.
You must show a tutorial of that vegetation! Never would have guessed Element.
Here is my ELEMENT 3D artwork: https://vimeo.com/51735893

According to Akron/Family's official website, the band's music is "adventurous, skewed bent" as well as "absolutely thrilling, stunning, and great fun, too." Akron/Family appear to be continuing on that path with the release of their new full-length album, Sub Verses, this past Tuesday, April 30. A short initial review of Sub Verses done by KEXP indicates that the album is a "sprawling set of folk-tinged psych-rock" that incorporates elements of folk, doo wop, and more. Another review by The Skinny calls the album "a stimulating journey throughout." The band is currently on tour in the US, which will include another stop in Austin on May 3, before they move on to Europe this summer.
Stay tuned to SXSWfm to hear new music from Akron/Family. Thank you for listening!

J. William Fulbright was a prominent and gifted American statesman of the 20th century. His political career of over thirty years in the U.S. Congress was distinguished by his unequaled contribution to international affairs and marked by his tenure as the longest serving chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. He had profound influence on America's foreign policy, and his vision for mutual understanding shaped the extraordinary exchange program bearing his name.
With the support of the United States government and through binational partnerships with foreign governments, the Fulbright Scholarship Program sponsors U.S. and foreign participants for exchanges in all areas of endeavor, including the sciences, business, academe, public service, government, and the arts and continues to increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the people of other countries.
His legislation establishing the Fulbright Program passed the Senate by unanimous consent in 1946 and drew strength from the U.S.'s national commitment to develop post war leadership and engage constructively with the community of nations. The first participants in the Fulbright Program went overseas in 1948, funded by war reparations and foreign loan repayments to the United States. This program has had extraordinary impact around the world. There have been more than 250,000 Fulbright students, scholars and teachers; many of them have made significant contributions within their countries, including the U.S., as well as to the overall goal of advancing mutual understanding.
J. William Fulbright was born on April 9, 1905 in Sumner, Missouri. He was educated at the University of Arkansas where he was awarded the B.A. degree in Political Science in 1925. He then attended Oxford University where he received an M.A. degree and was transformed by his international experience.
When Fulbright returned to the United States, he studied law at George Washington University in Washington, DC. During the 1930's, he served in the Justice Department and was an instructor at the George Washington University Law School. In 1936, he returned to Arkansas where he was a lecturer in law and, from 1939 to 1941, president of the University of Arkansas, at the time the youngest university president in the country.
He ran for political office in 1942 and was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives; he entered Congress in January 1943 and was appointed to the Foreign Affairs Committee. In September of that year, the House adopted the Fulbright Resolution supporting an international peace-keeping mechanism encouraging United States participation in what became the United Nations, and this brought national attention to Congressman Fulbright.
In November 1944, he was elected to the U.S. Senate and served there from 1945 through 1974, becoming one of the most influential and best-known members of the Senate. In 1949, Senator Fulbright became a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. From 1959-1974 he served as chairman of the committee.
His Senate career was marked by notable instances of principled dissent. In 1954, he was the only Senator to vote against an appropriation for the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, which was chaired by Senator Joseph R. McCarthy; and, in 1961, he lodged serious objections to President Kennedy in advance of the Bay of Pigs invasion. But, Senator Fulbright also worked to build national consensus, for instance, he supported creating a national center for the arts, and his initial legislation led to the founding of the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
He was particularly in the spotlight as a powerful voice in the turbulent Vietnam War era, when he chaired the Senate hearings on United States policy and the conduct of the war. In 1963 Walter Lippman wrote of Fulbright: "The role he plays in Washington is an indispensable role. There is no one else who is so powerful and also so wise, and if there were any question of removing him from public life, it would be a national calamity."
After serving five consecutive terms in the U.S. Senate, Senator Fulbright was defeated in Arkansas' 1974 Democratic primary. He then served as counsel to the Washington law firm of Hogan & Hartson and remained active in support of the Fulbright Program. He received numerous awards from governments, universities, and educational organizations around the world for his efforts on behalf of education and international understanding. In 1993 he was presented the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Clinton.
Senator Fulbright was married to Elizabeth Williams Fulbright for more than fifty years, from 1932 until her death in 1985. They had two daughters, Roberta Fulbright Foote and Elizabeth Fulbright Winnacker. Senator Fulbright married Harriet Mayor in 1990.
On February 9, 1995, Senator J. William Fulbright died in Washington, DC at the age of 89.
The primary source of funding for the Fulbright Program is an annual appropriation by the U.S. Congress to the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA). Participating governments and host institutions, corporations and foundations in foreign countries and in the United States also provide direct and indirect support.
TThe Congressional appropriation for the Fulbright Program in fiscal year 2011 was $237.6 million. Foreign governments, through binational commissions or foundations abroad, contributed approximately $89.2 million directly to the Program in fiscal year 2010.
ECA administers the Program under policy guidelines established by the J. William Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board (FSB) with the assistance of binational commissions and foundations in 50 countries, U.S. embassies in more than 100 other countries and cooperating agencies in the United States.
ECA is responsible for the U.S. government's overseas educational, cultural and informational programs.
The FSB, composed of 12 educational and public leaders appointed by the President of the United States, formulates policies for the administration of the Program, establishes criteria for the selection of candidates and selects candidates nominated for awards.
Binational commissions and foundations develop priorities for the program, including the numbers and categories of grants. In a country without a commission or foundation, the Public Affairs Section of the U.S. Embassydevelops and supervises the Fulbright Program. Currently, 50 commissions are active, most of which are funded jointly by the United States and the respective government. Each commission or foundation has a board, composed of Americans and citizens of the participating nation.
Fulbright programs are administered with the assistance of cooperating agencies. U.S. citizens interested in the Fulbright Program should contact the cooperating agency that administers the grant program in which they are interested. Foreign citizens interested in the Fulbright Program should contact the Fulbright commission in their home country or, where no commission exists, the Public Affairs Section of the U.S. Embassy. Contact information by country is available in Participating Countries.

Track & Field Records Pair of Fifth-Place Finishes at HL Indoors
Feb. 26, 2012
The men's team finished with 63 team points, moving up one spot from sixth place after Saturday's first day of events. The women's team finished with 58 points, just two tallies behind fourth-place Loyola.
"I was proud of the effort we put forth this weekend," said head coach Jim Knoedel. "We had three school records broken, and had a lot of very good performances and times."
One of the most noteworthy performances on the men's side was Matt Zaluckyj setting a school record in the 800-meter run, crossing the finishing line in 1:50.92, good for second-place in the field. The effort broke his own school record by more than 1.5 seconds.
In the high jump, freshman Mat Marzahl leaped 1.96 meters in the finals, finishing second individually. Justen Garth took third in the 60-meter dash, crossing the finishing line in 6.94 seconds. Meanwhile, Josh Stanner took sixth in the 200-meter dash (22.20 seconds) and third in the 400-meter (48.85 seconds). Closely following Stanner in the 400-meter dash were Michael Stupka (48.91 seconds; 5th) and Ryan Blackmon (49.21 seconds; 6th).
On the women's side, the same foursome that set the school record in the distance medley relay on Saturday claimed another school standard in Sunday's 4 x 400 meter relay. Jaime Johnson, Tess Erhrhardt, Rebecca Zaiter and Ariel Kirby finished the race in 3:58.97, good for third-place in the eight-team field.
Additionally, Kirby continued on her stellar debut campaign by capturing the individual title in the 800-meter run, crossing the finishing line in 2:12.50, more than 0.6 seconds ahead of the rest of the field. Mariya Denisenko took third in the long jump, leaping 5.66 meters in the finals. Alexandria Warner also had a strong showing, taking third in the weight throw, including a toss of 17.32 meters in the final round.
UIC will be idle from competition until the last weekend of March, when the Flames open the Outdoor season at the Purdue Invitational in West Lafayette, Ind.

E04 Hardware has posted some dirt on AMD's upcoming Athlon 64 processor including benchmarks and pictures of the processor, which was translated from a Taiwanese website forum. I'd take these results with a grain of salt, they look too slow to be true - it looks as if they tested with an early revision chipset. Interesting never the less!

Coyotes embracing underdog role
Thursday, 05.17.2012 / 3:46 PM | Corey Masisak - NHL.com Staff Writer
LOS ANGELES -- The
Phoenix Coyotes
are in a tough spot, down 2-0 to the
Los Angeles Kings
in the Western Conference Finals and facing two games on the road, starting with Game 3 of the series here at Staples Center on Thursday (9 p.m. ET, NBCSN, TSN, CBC).
The odds are stacked in the
Los Angeles Kings
' favor, and finding people who expect the Coyotes to win this series outside the Phoenix dressing room could be a difficult task.
In other words, it's a normal day for the Coyotes.
"We were joking about how obviously everyone is picking the Kings to win this now, and that's a good thing because pretty much everyone has been picking against us for three years," Phoenix captain
Shane Doan
said. "The moment people start picking us is when we have to be worried. We just have to find a way to rally around something."
Few pundits expected the Coyotes to return to the playoffs this season after losing goaltender
Ilya Bryzgalov
in the summer. Not only are they back in the playoffs, but they have reached the conference finals for the first time in franchise history.
While the Coyotes were the higher seed in each of their first two playoff series this year, Chicago and Nashville had amassed more points during the regular season and were the favorites. Even though Phoenix eked out the Pacific Division title, finishing ahead of San Jose and Los Angeles, the Kings were a heavy favorite against the Coyotes.
Now that the Kings have won the first two games in Phoenix and the Coyotes will be without center
Martin Hanzal
because of a suspension and defenseman
Adrian Aucoin
because of an injury, there won't be many people expecting a victory for the road team on Thursday.
"Somebody sent me an e-mail [Wednesday] about being picked 15th going into the conference [this season]," Coyotes coach
Dave Tippett
said. "We're finding ways to overcome the adversity and we'll continue to try to find that. That's kind of the way it's been for a long time for us, so that doesn't seem to bother us too much."
Added Doan: "We've been pretty good at blocking things that are going on around us and just finding a way to win. That's all we've got to do [Thursday] -- find a way to win one game."

Perfect Fried Chicken
Fried chicken is having a renaissance. Of course, it never really went away. But this year, I'm hearing about fried chicken pop-up restaurants, seeing fried chicken recipes in every newspaper and magazine. My friend, Adeena Sussman, spent the past couple of years traveling the country to research fried chicken recipes for the cookbook she just co-authored with Lee Schrager, Fried and True: More than 50 Recipes for America's Best Fried Chicken & Sides. Close to home, fried chicken is on the menu at many of the restaurants I've visited this summer.
One such restaurant, Commonwealth in Cambridge, Massachusetts, has a particularly delicious version. Chef Steve "Nookie" Postal soaks his chicken in a buttermilk brine for three full days before he fries it, leaving the meat melt-in-your-mouth tender and perfectly seasoned. I asked him for his recipe and found that even a 2-hour soak produced delicious chicken. My dinner guests raved. And because this recipe for perfect fried chicken calls for boneless thighs, the meat cooks quickly and still has plenty of flavor.
Commonwealth Fried Chicken
Total time: 45 minutes, plus at least 2 hours brining time
Hands-on time: 45 minutes
Yield: 6 servings
For the brine:
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons red chili flakes
- 1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
For the chicken:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- Vegetable oil for frying
In a large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and chili flakes. Add the chicken and let sit at least 2 hours and up to 3 days. Of course, you don't have to brine the meat at all, but the results here are so good, it really is worth a little advance planning.
Set a large skillet over medium heat and fill with enough oil to reach a 3/4-inch depth. You want the oil to be about 350° during frying.
Next, prepare the coating for the chicken: In a shallow pan (I use a cake pan), whisk together the flour, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika and salt. Dredge the chicken pieces through the flour mixture to coat.
When the oil reaches 350° on an instant-read thermometer, add the chicken, two or three pieces at a time and cook on one side until browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Carefully turn the chicken over and cook until browned on the other side, 1 or 2 more minutes.
Transfer cooked chicken to a sheet pan lined with paper towels or a brown paper bag. Cook remaining chicken as above. Serve immediately.

Indian furniture production is worth about US$ 1,700 million. The Indian furniture market can be defined as "non organised", as 85% of its production is provided by non industrial companies. Artisan firms are concentrated in the wooden furniture segment (mainly home furniture), while metal and plastic furniture produced on a medium-large scale and intended for professional use is provided by the "organised sector". This sector has some 5,000 active companies of which 8% produce wooden furniture, 10% metal furniture and 82% manufacture accessories and furnishing items in plastic. The office furniture segment, particularly metal furniture, is much more advanced (in terms of size and technological innovation) than the home furniture one and a larger percentage of its production is exported. The Indian furniture industry as a whole employs a total of around 300,000 workers.
Furniture making is an art, which is practiced with consummate skill by the craftsmen of India. One of the reasons why Indian furniture is held in high regard the world over is its ethnic flavor and minute craftsmanship. In spite of rapid developments in the tools and materials used, traditional Indian woodcarvers are still rooted in the ancient style of their ancestors, and use the simplest of hand instruments while crafting the most exquisite furniture pieces. It is little wonder that the furniture styles of Barmer, Kashmir, Saharanpur, Gujarat and the South have earned the appreciation and admiration of people the world over.
The most popular forms of Indian furniture include home and garden furniture, office furniture, kitchen furniture, bedroom furniture, upholstered furniture, seating, furniture parts and contract furniture in wood, metal, plastic, cane and bamboo. These furniture pieces are available in a variety of finishes. Choices range from antique or exotic looking furniture to painted furniture. Popular items of furniture export are mainly a large variety of cabinets, cupboards, ethnic settees, beds, partitions, chairs, tables, frames, boxes and bajots, and many other decorative articles.

The Iraqis and Americans are having a hard time leaving the tragedy of the Iraq war behind them as new hostilities consistently flare up in the region. Recently the United States launched airstrikes against Islamic State fighters in Iraq's Kurdistan reported Al Jazeera on Aug. 8, 2014. The Pentagon has said American warplanes carried out two separate airstrikes directed against advancing Islamic State positions in northern Iraq after artillery fire from the group fell close to U.S. personnel.
The head of U.S. Central Command under authorization of President Barack Obama made the decision to strike Islamic State targets. Rear Admiral John Kirby, the Pentagon press secretary, said the U.S. military will continue to take action against Islamic State fighters whenever its fighters threaten Americans or U.S. facilities. It is not known exactly how long the American bombing campaign against the Islamic State will last.
The U.S. launched the airstrikes in Iraq directed against militants as the crisis worsened for displaced civilians reports Fox News.
Many allies of the United States have offered support for the American airstrikes. Highlighting the sense of alarm a spokesman for Iraq's human rights ministry has said that hundreds of Yazidi women had been taken captive by the militants. It is felt the terrorists now consider them slaves and have brutal plans for them.
The was the first re-engagement in Iraq for the U.S. since it withdrew its forces from Iraq in late 2011 after more than eight years of war. This re-engagement started when two F/A-18 jets dropped 500-pound bombs on a piece of artillery and the truck which was towing it. In recent weeks the militants have captured many towns and Iraq's largest hydroelectric dam and reservoir. According to the United Nations greater than 500,000 people have been displaced by the violence in Iraq since June. This brings the total number of displaced people this year to well over 1 million as the tragedy in Iraq continues to unfold.

Student Puzzle Pieces Assembled in Workshops
The University of Virginia exists to educate students. At the very base level, students are recruited, apply, enroll, attend class, take exams, and graduate. The infrastructure that allows all that and more to happen for 19,643 students in 154 different fields, on schedule, year after year, is extensive and is being examined and reconfigured through the Student System Project (SSP).
"To the outsider, or to the student, for that matter, there are three primary functions that must occur to usher students through their University education," says Charles Grisham, Director of the SSP. "Student Financial Services, Registration and Records, and Admissions. What are less obvious are all the processes that comprise those functions."
A first sampling of the high level processes that constitute the student puzzle includes:
- Recruitment
- Application processing
- Application evaluation
- Post-notification processes
Student Financial Services
- Term activities related to student finance
- Payment processing
- Student account adjustments
- Delinquent accounts
- Award/loan analysis, notification and activation
- Fund management
- Application/document tracking
Registration and Records
- Course enrollment & final registration
- Course creation
- Record Maintenance
- Grading
- Academic Progress, Reporting, Transcripts
- Graduation
"Each of these global processes is comprised of hundreds of smaller processes," says Grisham. "But right now we are focused on the global level so we can identify common and distinct requirements across schools and departments, and identify strategies, policy issues, and shadow systems related to each global process."
The format for this evaluation is a series of almost 20 workshops (one for each global process noted above), held throughout the summer months, and attended by people who represent these activities in the schools, departments, and central offices. "We are having tremendous participation and enthusiasm," says Grisham. "Many people are giving many hours to help us understand current processes and where there might be opportunities for improvement."
Following the workshops in the areas of admissions, registration and records, and student financial services, SSP will begin to explore interfaces with other critical student-related processes in University services such as housing, parking, bookstore, IDs, etc.
Other summer activities on the SSP docket include visits to universities that have implemented student systems and further refinement of the requirements for a new system, adding puzzle pieces systematically until the complete picture emerges.

Every 30 seconds an American has a heart attack.
Every 45 seconds an American has a stroke.
This explains why heart disease is the leading cause of death worldwide.
The morning show viewers had a very special treat this morning; Tom Lewis, News Channel Seven's evening anchor and news director joined us live as Gulf Coast Medical Center technicians Fleta, Martha and Laura poked and prodded all morning.
The all-inclusive screening Angio Screen only takes 12 minutes – and it could save your life.
For $75, you walk in and get a blood pressure, pulse, heart rhythm and BMI check.
Technicians will then take an ultra scan of the flow of blood in your neck arteries which provide blood flow to the front of your brain. Narrowing of these carotid arteries by the buildup of cholesterol called plaque within the wall of blood vessels can increase the risk of stroke.
During this test, technicians are also hard at work at your ankles!
It's there where they check your ABI – or Ankle Brachial index, a screening test for blockages in the arteries that go to your legs. A blockage here is called a PAD or Peripheral Arterial Disease and more than 10 million Americans have it but don't know it – symptoms include achy legs and fatigue.
Before you get away technicians will check your belly! That's right, your belly. An ultrasound of your abdomen shows the possible expansion of your abdominal aorta – the main blood vessel that carries blood from the heart to the rest of the body.
The AAA – or Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm is known as the silent killer, many people have no symptoms so early screening is often a life saver.
Keep in mind techs are there to answer any questions you may have during the process and you'll leave with a printed summary as well as 6 ultrasound photos.
Interested? Call Gulf Coast Medical, they can come to your business or you can go to them. 850-747-3600.

Much of the initiative's expected 10-year investment payback comes from upgrading to automated irrigation, which will eliminate the need to hire 18 employees during the summer. To minimize water usage, plantings will be watered with drip tubing systems activated from 4 to 6 a.m.
"This creative strategy will enable Milwaukee to ensure the longevity of its well-developed boulevard system in a cost-effective and proactive manner," says Preston Cole, environmental services superintendent for the city's Department of Public Works.
More than $20 million in National Coastal Wetlands Conservation grants have been released to 11 states and one territory by the U.S. Department of the Interior. The grants will support the acquisition, enhancement, and restoration of more than 10,000 acres of coastal wetlands.
Projects are located in California, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Oregon, Texas, Washington, Wisconsin, and Puerto Rico.
Administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the grants will fund 29 projects to be matched by $46 million in contributions from state and local governments, private landowners, and conservation organizations.
Settling an issue that the U.S. Supreme Court declined to rule on in 2004's South Florida Water Management District vs. Miccosukee Tribe of Indians, the EPA codified its 2005 interpretive statement that the Clean Water Act intends resource-management agencies and other state authorities—not the federal National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)—to oversee water transfers.
Add one more item to the list of products and materials—fuel, concrete, and steel—whose increasing costs are squeezing operations: hydrogen peroxide.

Consultants should have quality control and quality assurance programs that preclude a customer from receiving less-than-accurate service, particularly on critical components. These programs should recognize that people make mistakes, but that it's unacceptable for that mistake to reach the customer.
Rather than additional oversight and expenditure of public money, why not establish standards that ensure the customer gets what it paid for? The buck has to stop someplace: with the stamp on the drawing and the consulting firm's quality process.
Maybe the engineering discipline should stop fighting quality initiatives such as ISO9000 and Six Sigma and get on board with modern day quality processes to develop true quality consciousness.

In Shawn Sawyer's mind, the finish line was firmly in place, and everything played out exactly the way a skating retirement should.
"A thought? Oh, it was a done deal," the 26-year-old from Edmundston, N.B. said when asked how serious he was about hanging up his skates some 15 months ago. "I had a little farewell party at the rink. I was still skating and doing shows, but I wasn't training like the other years."
The way Sawyer figured, for the longest time, the 2010 Olympic Winter Games would be his competitive swan song. Either he'd bow out on the biggest stage of them all as a member of the Canadian team or, failing that, he would walk away from the sport content with everything he had accomplished.
But as the summer months rolled around, something inside Sawyer began to question the finality of it all.
"I had this 'what if?' thought rolling around in my head and I didn't want to have that question lurking in my mind for the next 10 years," he said. "So I thought, just go for it and even if it doesn't work, at least you won't have that factor to deal with. I didn't want to have any regrets, and I believed I still had not shown everything I could do in competitions."
Sawyer said he would consider it all worth the effort for one moment of brilliance. That moment arrived last January, when he landed on the second step of the podium at the national championships — his highest placement ever in the senior men's event. But it was the performance level that renewed the bounce in his step.
"By far, it's the best competition I've ever done in my life," Sawyer said. "The practices, the warm-ups ... the overall feeling of nationals this year was unreal. I savored every moment of it. Sometimes in the past, I've competed and was happy when it was over. But I remember every second, every interview. I remember everything from that event."
Two months later Sawyer still carried a sense of astonishment about that magical weekend.
"I still can't believe that everything worked out the way I dreamed it would," he said. "The thing that I'm most happy about is that I proved to myself that it would work. I wasn't sitting at home watching nationals, I was competing and doing what I came back to do."
When the subject of retirement was raised Sawyer laughed. "It was set in my mind for a very long time that I was going to quit in 2010," he admitted. "Part of me was happy that I was all done, but the other part of me just knew that I still had something left and I had something to prove to everybody and to myself.
"I knew that when I made the decision to quit, it was really going to come from inside me. I would decide when it happened, not just go by a date on the calendar."
Sawyer admitted he was leaning in the direction of show life after the 2011 Worlds. In late March, following the cancellation of the event in Japan, he made that decision and announced he was withdrawing from the World team to perform on the Canadian Stars on Ice tour.
'When the opportunity to perform on Stars on Ice came up, I had to make a choice between competing at Worlds and stepping into my professional career," Sawyer said. "I really love to perform and joining the tour was what I really wanted to do."

LOU PESCADOU, 241 Old Brompton Road, 0207 3701057
Of all the restaurants we recommend Lou Pescado is the furthest from georgian House Hotel. However, a twenty minutes jopurney arrive in the heart of France is not bad! To eat in Pescadou's is to be transported. All the staff are French including Patric, your charming host, and the food is authentic French cuisine. The speciality is seafood, and the seafood plater laden with every kind of shellfish is just amazing. Try the Gin and French coctail, judged by eye and served with a twist of lemon it is serious. Another speciality is the delicate tarte aux pommes which is flamed with calvados at your table. This restaurant has a faithful French clientele, including touring french rugby teams, which is an excellent reflection on the quality of the food. Lou Pescadou is neither close enough nor inexpensive enough to eath there every day, but for a special occasion or a treat it is unbeatable.
THE EBURY, 11 Pimlico Road, 0207 7306784
New head chef Michael Nadra is now really settling into The Ebury producing seasonal delights such as Assiette of Lamb with Potato Gnocchi, Marjoram, Pancetta and Peas in the dining room and classics such as Dover Sole with Capers, Crushed Potatoes and Provencal Vegetables in the brasserie. The brand new summer coctail menu features a Strawberry-Basil Martini along with other delights such as Chocolate Caipirinhas. Full selection of draught lagers and bitters are as popular as ever.

Inside the stylish brasserie there is a circular fish bar with everything ranging from oysters to salmon. Whole lobster, ox tongue, mediterranean prawns, and cream of pea and asparagus soup are all on the menu. The menu has an English style with a touch of French, and amazing drinks. I particularly recommend the Honey Berry drink. The service was quick and good and the waiters were very nice. I really advise you to go there." Tolly von der Heyde, age 10.

Billy Law's Coca Cola Chicken
Billy Law will already be familiar to those of you who follow his very popular food blog, A Table For Two. He also made it into the top 7 on Aussie Masterchef 2011. Born in Malaysia, he moved to Australia in the mid '90s to further his studies and has lived there ever since. On his blog, he explains that it was only when he moved, and missed the home-cooked dishes of Malaysia, that he took up cooking himself. These days, he cooks not only the cuisine of his native country but a wide range of Eastern and Western treats and there are plenty of both in his first cookbook, Have You Eaten?
My book has the cover on the left, I think the other may be an Australian edition
The book is named for the common Malaysian greeting – not "How are you?" but "Have you eaten yet?", which shows a commendable focus on the importance of food in the culture. This appeals to me!
One of the things I've long enjoyed about Billy's blog is the beautiful food photography, which really shows off all his dishes so temptingly so it's great news that he did the styling and photography for his book himself, bringing his trademark rich and warm style to the book. Recipes are easy to read and the whole book is a true feast for the eyes.
Dishes are divided into sections called Snack Attack, On The Side, Easy Peasy, Over The Top, Rice & Noodles Sugar Hit and Dress For Success, most of which I found self-explanatory except for the last one, which was obvious once I looked – it covers dressings, of course!
There are lots of recipes which appeal, from Guinness battered prawns to Pandan chicken, from Deep-fried salt and pepper tofu to Watermelon, baby tomato, chevre and candied walnut salad, from Breakfast pie to Ayam pongteh (braised potato chicken, from Beef Cheeks Bourgignon (using my favourite, Pedro Ximinez) to Burnt butter lobster tail with apple and salmon roe, from Claypot chicken and mushroom rice to Curry laksa, from Popcorn and salted caramel macarons to Gingerbread ice cream, from Wasabi mayonnaise to Chilli onion jam. And that's just two from each section, there are many, many more that sound delicious.
The recipe we decided to make first was Billy's Cola Chilli Chicken, as I've been reading about savoury recipes featuring Coca Cola for such a long time.
We skipped the cashews, as Pete's not a fan, but otherwise followed the recipe as it was. We did find it needed quite a bit longer for the liquid to reduce down, but that may also be a factor of the size and shape of our wok and the heat we cooked over. Otherwise, it was very straightforward.
The finished dish was absolutely delicious. The sauce wasn't sickly sweet but beautifully balanced. Given how easy it was to cook, this is likely to be something we make again.
And it makes me even more excited to try many of the other recipes in the book.
Billy Law's Have You Eaten? is currently available from Amazon UK for £16 (RRP £25).
Kavey Eats received a review copy from Hardie Grant Books.
19 Responses to "Billy Law's Coca Cola Chicken"
Fascinating! (A former housemate of mine is Chinese-Malay, and we were young students, learning a great deal about cooking and baking together and from each other during the time we lived together.)
Coca-Cola was an ingredient I'd not learned about until later in life. (As a beverage, of course, it was ubiquitous throughout American/Canadian culture and society.) In the southern U.S.A., it's been used in cakes, and in the past several years I learned of its use in a recipe for glazed ham. (In my part of America, we're renowned for a very spicy ginger ale which is a key component in a recipe for glazed ham.)
Well done, Kavey (and of course, Pete, too!) and thank you for the info on the chef, the cookbook and this specific recipe, too.
I keep hearing about savoury cola recipes too and it's something I think I will try eventually. I imagine it goes really well in Chinese-style dishes.
I've read about cola chicken before and been wanting to make it, but not got around to it.
At Christmas I made a Barcadi & Cola roasted ham joint and it was just amazing.
Knowing how well Coca Cola works with cooking big joints of ham I'm not surprised this is a success. It had not occurred to me to pair it with chicken but looks well worth a try. I hadn't come across Billy before but I'll look out for him now.
This sounds really delicious – I've tried the Nigella coca cola ham but I'm intrigued to see how it works with chicken. Definitely a book to look out for!
I had no idea Billy Law had a cookbook out! The recipes do all sound great.
I'm currently watching Billy in Masterchef as I missed it first time round. I have his pork belly dish bookmarked to try and now have put this book on my wishlist.
Actually, someone I know online is bringing me back Chris Badenoch's book from Australia whilst she's there over Easter, as it doesn't seem to be available here and I fell totally in love with him last year!
Great recommendation Kavey!
Was looking for a different dish and this turned out very tasty. I did do an all day marinade and use red onion rings rather than spring onions.
I will certainly be looking out for the book.
p.s. I skipped the cashews too – not that I don't like them just prefer them nibbled with an aperitif before the meal not during it!
[…] Billy Law's Coca Cola Chicken […]
[…] the recipe front, I loved Billy Law's Coca Cola Chicken and was delighted with my Walnut […]

John's Diner in Lakewood still thriving in old railroad car
Diner is throwback to days of yesteryear
LAKEWOOD, Ohio - Long before there was fast food as we have come to know it, there were other types of food served in a rapid manner although it was not handed to the customer by way of a drive-thru window. Still, it was brought to the hungry customer in quick fashion, and usually with a shout from the server at the counter to a cook who labored over a hot stove only inches away.
It was the roadside diner where automobile drivers and truckers bellied up to the counter, looked briefly at a menu, and placed an order which they consumed often on stools which lined the counter.
"Hey, Joe," the counter server, usually wearing a pastel-colored dress with an apron tied around the waist, would shout to a sure-handed cook who stood over a hot grill. "Lemme have a ham with three eggs sunny-side up and a side or grits, and buttered toast," she would shout.
"Comin' up," would bark the cook, through an open window in the wall separating the counter from the kitchen. This was the world of the diner. Many of these roadside eateries were former railroad passenger cars which had been converted to restaurants. There were thousands of them in America, coast to coast.
John's Diner in Lakewood, a suburb of Cleveland, is still hanging on. The business is brisk in the restaurant which John Pasalis has run for 40 years. "When people come in here," said Pasalis, his Greek heritage evident with every word, "they always ask, 'Hey, John; whatcha got t'eat?"
Pasalis can rustle up breakfast, lunch or dinner. He has served food most of his adult life. When he immigrated to Cleveland from his native Greece in the early 1960s, he quickly moved into the food business, learning how to prepare a quick meal while he also learned the English language.
When an old diner, long pulled from the railroad line, became available for purchase Pasalis jumped on the deal as quickly as it takes to fry an egg. What he bought was not only a place where food was prepared and served, but he also bought a bit of nostalgia.
John's Diner, on Detroit Avenue in Lakewood, feels like a train. Its narrow confines and its passenger windows give the illusion of riding the train again.
There are far fewer diners these days than during the heyday of the restaurants when they peppered highways across this country. Long before the Interstate highway system became a part of the American landscape, motorists traveled roads which were known for small motels, independent gasoline stations, and diners where a river could get a cup of coffee and a burger for just a few cents.
At John's Diner, it will cost a little more than a few cents, but the nostalgia and the fast-paced talk between the server and the cook is still there. So is the nostalgia.
"Hey, Cookie! Gimme a burger ... and make it cry.," shouted the server. That meant a customer wanted a hamburger with onions. The lingo of the diner. Tell John I sent you. He will keep the light on for you. And, he'll keep the coffee hot.

A House panel is calling on the U.S. Department of Labor to turn over all records involving a half-million dollar contract funded through President Obama's $831 billion stimulus program that paid for more than 100 commercials on MSNBC touting a "green jobs" initiative.
The contract with McNeely Pigott & Fox Public Relations LLC in 2009 resulted in more than 100 commercials on cable shows hosted by Rachel Maddow and Keith Olberman to raise awareness about the Job Corps program's training in environmentally-friendly career areas.
But spending reports showed that no jobs were created through the contract. The Washington Times first reported on the contract earlier this month, quoting one taxpayer watchdog who questioned not only the lack of jobs but why the commercials aired only on MSNBC, considered the most liberal of the major cable news outlets.

Now that I figured out how to set iTerm2 as the ssh:// URL handler, I'd like iTerm2 to respond to an ssh URL by opening a new window instead of opening a new tab in an existing window. Is this possible?
I was curious about the same problem. After reviewing the source code, I found in iTerm2 v188.8.131.5211020 is hard-coded to open a new session as a tab if a session already exists, when it receives nearly any "launch this URL with a handler" command.
My Xcode and Objective-C skills are still rather weak, but if you want to give it a shot I believe the problem is related to the source file iTermController.m. On lines 789 to 870 the

I hope this helps!! .. It may be worth filing a bug report or contacting the author if you're still having problems.

According to the Center for disease control and Prevention (CDC), approximately 17% or 12.5 million children and adolescents are obese. This is a significant concern as childhood obesity can cause an increased risk for health problems such as; heart disease, type 2 diabetes, breathing problems, joint discomfort and other physical and psychological problems.
A healthy diet is an important part of ensuring a child's health and to maintain a healthy weight. An important part of a healthy diet is eating adequate amounts of vegetables. It is recommend that children 2-3 year of age have 1 cup of vegetables daily, ages 4-8year should have 1 ½ cups daily, ages 9-13 should have 2 cups daily and 14-18 should have 3 cups daily.
Getting kids to eat vegetable can be challenging research shows that kids can learn to like vegetables. It does require patience from the parents as it can take 5-10 of trying a new food for the child to except it. But it is well worth time as it will benefit the child's health for years to come
Tips to getting your children to eat more vegetables
- Start early: As the child starts on solid food make sure you provide a wide variety of foods including vegetables.
- Be a good example: If an adult speaks negatively about vegetables or refused to eat them, the child will also
- If vegetables taste bland to you that it will taste bland to your child: While it is recommended to avoid salt, try adding herbs, mild spices to add flavor.
- Choose foods that they can pick up with their hands: don't be afraid to let them make a mess.
- Limit high sugar foods that provide little nutrition: foods such as, cakes, cookies, pastries, donuts, soda, chips
- Reduce the distractions: turn the T.V. off and focus on the food and family
- Don't give up: Just because they do not like it first time does not mean they will learn to like it.

Tips for using templates
The templates can be tricky. Read the instructions in the template carefully before deleting them.
- Only paste text into your document without formatting. If you bring pre-existing formatting with your text, then the formatting in the template is likely to be corrupted. Use the "paste special" command rather than keyboard shortcuts. There are instructions in each template on how to do this.
- Use the fields. The document title is contained in pre-defined fields at various points in the template documents. These include the headings, the footers, and the final "Notes" section. Wherever they are used you will see the words "Adjust in Document Properties". Don't try to type the title in, because you will end up with an error message in the text when you print the document. Instructions on how to find and edit the document properties are provided in each template.
- Use the styles. Each of the template documents uses preformatted styles for paragraphs, headings and other components. These styles will automatically set out your text in an appropriate manner. However, they affect more than just appearances. They will also underpin accessibility tools for those who need to use them. It is important therefore that you actually use the styles rather than simply typing text in a manner which looks like the style.
- Use the "notes" style to cross reference other documents. Wherever possible you should provide the reader with a means of locating any document which is referred to in your text. The "notes" style is provided for this purpose. Remember to provide the actual URL in addition to any hotlink.
- Keep the white space. The templates provide lots of room between paragraphs, which means that the document you prepare is likely to be longer than you intended. This is deliberate, as white space promotes readability. Don't close up gaps or reduce the font size.
- Remember that the definitions in the policy template are formatted as a table. This means that each term and its meaning should be in a different cell. The table has no borders, but you could insert and then remove them if this helps during the drafting process.

Puttin' on the sparkles for a night out? Don't forget to add a pound or two of glitter to your eyelids! Or you could swipe the Glitter Glaze Transforming Shadow Top Coat ($21) from Too Faced over your already-shadowed eyes. It amps up the sparkle, but isn't nearly as messy as raiding your craft box for leftover supplies. You can even wear the glaze alone for a straight-up shimmery eye.
