I had heard about this product for quite some time but I was concerned about a few things... First the coconut oil base - would it make my skin break out? Nope! Second, is the shimmer really different? Yes - the shimmer is very subtle and more ethereal rather than glittery. And third, I have oily skin - will this make me look greasy? No, if you apply very sparingly. And I will also add that I apply this over powder so that the rest of my skin has a matte finish.
If you are expecting a dramatic highlight, this product might not be for you... However if you are looking for a subtle glow, add this to your cart STAT!
I'm not really big on makeup, but have been wanting to find something more natural that feels less cakey and heavy on my face. This is a really nice luminzer - creamy, but not thick or heavy, much like the rest of the rms line. It also isn't too sparkly or anything like that - just the right amount of shine to catch the light and make you look more awake. Looks nice on the eyelids, too, to kind of brighten up the eyes without using an actual eye shadow.4
This product creates the most subtle glow of any highlighter. It is very light and does look like light is hitting the face. I have oily skin, so I wasn't sure about it....but I use it very lightly on the cheekbones and below the eyebrows. My favorite thing about it is that it is natural and does not contain harmful chemicals.4
I wanted to love this SO MUCH. I've heard wonderful things and read a lot of reviews. But my verdict is in: It's nice but not enough to justify the hefty price. First of all, it DOES NOT STAY ON YOUR FACE. I love how it looks right after you put it on the face but unfortunately it doesn't last very long.
I feel like there are more affordable products that does the job equally well. If you are concerned about the ingredient and doesn't mind splurging, go ahead. I returned it at the Birchbox store.

ProgHead777, I do believe that is Stratovarius
And the name of the song is The Kiss Of Judas .
Is that correct?
That's the one :orcthumbs:
Its a famouse song and I hope we are thinking of the same song here.
Really? For the most part, here in the US, when people think of metal they think of thrash (metallica, megadeth, etc.) or so-called nu-metal or aggro (System of a Down, Linkin Park, Disturbed, etc.). If I said "Stratovarius" to just about anyone I know, they'd think I was chatting about the weather. :funnylaugh:
Really? We are a dubious one aren't we Prog? I saw them live at Donington in '91 while I was waiting for 'tallica and AC/DC, I d@mn near fell asleep.
Well, by '91, Queensryche were becoming a tad dull. After Silent Lucidity, they turned a tad Hair Metal. But Operation: Mindcrime ranks easily in my personal Top 5 Concept Albums Ever list. Have you listened to it in it's entirety? I'd have thought you'd dig the story, if not necessarily the music. If you haven't, you should check it out... you'd probably be quite surprised.

This seems like an awesome plugin. I'd love enable it on my site but I'm trying to figure out how to use it without having to manually insert shortcodes into hundreds of posts. I realize that can be done automatically with some other plugins if I add new content to existing posts.
However, I'd like to target an existing specific line (different within each post) without having to spend hours and hours doing it. Any ideas? Also, if I do go through and manually insert shortcodes and later I decide to remove them... do they also need to be manually removed? Thanks!

Pujols powers Cards to Game 3 win
It may have been Allen Craig who got the party started, giving him three go-ahead RBI in his first three World Series at bats. But by the end of the day, it was Albert Pujols who was the story as the Cardinals took Game 3 in Arlington 16-7. It was a game that seemed like it was going to turn into a pitcher's duel, at least the first time through … Continue reading

Herman Cain blasted President Obama's my-way-or-the-highway rhetoric on race relations on his radio program Tuesday.
"President Obama said that if economic prescriptions of the type he supports to increase economic growth and increase income inequality are not adopted, then race relations in the United States may deteriorate further," Cain explained.
"Mr. President, your sending the wrong tone. And I have a question for all the Obama supporters: tell me what his prescriptions the inquiring intelligent thinkers would like to know."

Freedom in the Grace of the World
Posted on Jul 5, 2010
By Chris Hedges
(Page 2)
I climbed my first mountain in the White Mountain National Forest when I was 7. It was Mount Chocorua. The mountain, capped with a rocky dome and perhaps the most beautiful in the park, is named for a legendary Pequawket chief who refused to flee with his tribe to Canada and was supposedly pursued to its summit by white settlers, where he leapt to his death. It is a climb I have repeated nearly every year, now with my children. I guided trips in the mountains in college. I would lie, years later, awake in San Salvador, Gaza, Juba or Sarajevo and try to recall the sound of the wind, the smell of the pine forests and the cacophony of bird song. To know the forests and mountains were there, to know that I would return to them, gave me a psychological and physical refuge. And as my two older children grew to adulthood I dragged them up one peak after another, pushing them perhaps too hard. My college-age son is deeply connected to the mountains. He works in the summer as a guide and has spent upward of seven weeks at a time backpacking on the Appalachian Trail. My teenage daughter, perhaps reflecting her sanity, is reticent to enter the mountains with the two of us.
I stood a few days ago in a parking lot at Crawford Notch with Rick Sullivan, an Army captain and Afghanistan war veteran. It was the end of our weeklong hike in the White Mountains. Sullivan noticed a man with a T-shirt that read "Operation Iraqi Freedom." The shirt had Arabic and English script warning motorists not to come too close or risk being shot. The man, an Iraqi veteran, was putting on a pack and told us that he was the caretaker of a camp site. He said he left the Army a year ago, drifted, drank too much and worked at a bar as a bouncer. His life was unraveling. He then answered an ad for a park caretaker. The clouds hovering on the peaks above us were an ominous gray. The caretaker said he planned to beat the rain back to the tent site. I thought of Earl Shaffer.
"You try and forget the war but you carry pieces of it with you anyway," the caretaker said. "In the mountains, at least, I can finally sleep."

I said I would replace the order and because time was essential (the railing was for a 91-year-old who needed it), and we had a contract for the rail, I would hold Deluxe liable for the difference. Kerry said she would check with her manager, Jason Berke, who operates the company and call back. She never did, and I called to find out why. She said that Berke said I could sue if I like but it wasn't going to pay the difference.
This is unethical behavior and basic contract law says the company should pay the $60 difference for nondelivery of the item it sold and assured me it was sending out.

Gear Jack, a hardcore platformer developed by Piwot Games and published by Forest Moon Games, is now available from the app store. Featuring a futuristic industrial aesthetic, cool musical tracks, and an unforgiving requirement of precision movements, Gear Jack is a captivating exercise in trial-and-error gaming.
Gear Jack Pros:
- Great futuristic industrial presentation and exciting hardcore platforming fun
- Soundtrack shuffles through several catchy tracks
- Controls are responsive and easy to hit
- Upgradeable character attributes for customization
- GameCenter integration provides an achievement system
Gear Jack Cons:
- Background and foreground can get confused for each other
- Restarting soundtracks can get annoying
- Level-beginning animations and new obstacle introduction slowdowns are frustrating
Jack is some type of robotic entity, traveling aboard a spaceship that gets knocked off-course when it passes in close proximity to a black hole. To save the ship and himself, he'll need to traverse the game's 30 levels, jumping and sliding to avoid traps and obstacles without losing his life. Jack collects a variety of objects along the way, earning point totals that help him earn up to 3 stars for his effort in each level. There are spinning gears to avoid, tunnels to roll through, gaps to leap over, transports to move Jack between different locations within the same level, and more. Every so often, you'll earn points to upgrade Jack's speed, jumping ability, rolling prowess, and more. The manner in which you disperse your earned points can have a significant effect on how well Jack is able to get through certain types of obstacles, so choose wisely. Once you make it through the campaign, the game touts random trap generation at adds a good deal of replay value even if you've memorized the pre-rendered levels. You should be prepared to die early and often until you learn the ins and outs of each level and memorize when to jump and roll to find the level end. Restarts don't take too long, but the short animation that you have to sit through each time is a bit grating, as are the slow-motion pieces when a new obstacle is introduced.
Graphically, Gear Jack has a great futuristic, industrial look that justifies Jack's existence and subsequent plight, as well as his human-like abilities. The background is active, sometimes confusing the gamer as to which items are in the foreground (and usable by Jack) and which are in the background (and can safely be ignored). New items are added a little at a time, like pressure plates that activate crushing columns or spikes that jut out of the ceiling as you roll by. Your pathway occasionally contains smaller icons representing the jump and roll buttons, requiring you to tap the corresponding buttons as Jack passes in front of them. This also triggers a slow motion cinematic spinning jump that's pretty cool to watch. Various other traps require you to tap on the screen to eviscerate falling gears, open doors, and raise walls to allow safe passage.
The soundtrack consists of several cool tracks that play upbeat music to match the game's style, but they annoyingly reset each time you die. This results in constant switching of music and the annoyance of hearing the opening notes of the same songs over and over again. We'd rather just have the songs playing through to the end regardless of whether we die or not. The controls provide a roll button on the left and a jump button on the right. They are very responsive and easy to hit. There is also a slow motion button above the jump button that allows you temporarily to slow time during a particularly troubling portion of a level. We didn't have much use for it and found it difficult to turn our attention from the game to find the small button's location for fear of dying while searching and having to start over from the level beginning.
Replay value is good, as you can go back through completed levels to earn missed stars or increase your score. You can also enjoy the random trap generation that keeps things fresh after completing the campaign. GameCenter integration provides more than 2 dozen achievements to earn. A universal app for $0.99, Gear Jack is an exciting 4-Dimple offering.

by Henry David Thoreau
Symbolism, Imagery, Allegory
In the 19th century, the term "savage" didn't only bring to mind Fred Savage, the adorable kid from The Princess Bride. In fact, it didn't to that at all. Instead, it was used to refer to non-European tribal peoples. In Walden, Thoreau uses this term "savage" in two different ways: sometimes very specifically, to refer to Native Americans, and other times generally, as the opposite of civilized man.
Savages are often set up as a kind of foil for civilized man, the "other" that isn't quite as other as may appear on first sight. In fact, savages often provide instances of customs or beliefs that Thoreau values. So, while Thoreau doesn't necessarily want to live in a "wigwam," as he tells us in the first chapter, he does like the idea in theory. He prefers the general principle of a home as a basic structure serving basic necessities, in contrast to the larger, furnished homes. Through such examples as this, and the custom of the "busk," Thoreau portrays savages as people who understand the true worthlessness of material things, as well as the true requirements of hospitality.

Of course there is far more Shakespeare in the Star Trek Universe.

Design-A-Study, (curriculum for easy homeschooling unit studies) is an excellent program for homeschoolers who like to develop and expand on lessons while exploring differences in learning styles.
Design-A-Study is authored by Kathryn Stout, B.S.Ed., M.Ed. Ms. Stout has been a educator, curriculum advisor, special education advisor, Christian educator, as well as a homeschool teacher herself. With all her many years of scholastic experience, she has put together a collection of books that will guide the beginner (or advanced) homeschooler through grades K-12 with confidence.
Each of her books gives grade appropriate topics to cover, objectives, and tips for teaching. Homeschoolers can purchase one book for the entire K-12 years. For example, Science Scope has everything you need for science concepts covered in grades K-12.
The same applies for her homeschool unit study Guides to History Plus and Comprehensive Composition (Language Arts). Maximum Math covers math concepts from grades K-8.
Design-A-Study is very, very affordable and there is also a Teaching Tips and Techniques book you can buy that is designed to offer help to the homeschooling parent in areas like: Getting Started, Schedules & Lesson Plans, Learning Styles, Discipline, Problems-Solutions and Resources.
I like the fact that Ms. Stout is a Christian educator and has worked in special education. The Design-A-Study program offers great flexibility which is very important in special education/special needs where programs require a large amount of adaptability.
I highly recommend this wonderful study program for all homeschoolers who are looking for curriculum where you can be creative with lesson plans yet have a definite direction toward achieving your educational goals.
What a wonderful review, Tess; so thorough, well-written and enlightening! Thanks so much for sharing. Blessings, Heather :)

Spring Hill College MSN program awarded maximum accreditation from Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education
Mobile, AL – Spring Hill College's Division of Nursing Master of Science in Nursing, Clinical Nurse Leader (MSN-CNL) program has once again been granted the maximum accreditation status from the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE). The accreditation is valid for a 10-year period.
Officially recognized by the U.S. Secretary of Education as a national accreditation agency, CCNE is an autonomous accrediting agency, contributing to the improvement of the public's health. CCNE accreditation ensures the quality and integrity of baccalaureate, graduate and residency programs in nursing.
"I am pleased that the MSN program received the maximum continued accreditation from CCNE. Continued accreditation indicates that the MSN program continues to meet the high standards set by CCNE and speaks highly of our program, our faculty and our students," said Dr. Ola Fox, DNS, GNP, CNL, the MSN program director at the College.
CCNE assesses and identifies programs that engage in effective educational practices. As a voluntary, self-regulatory process, CCNE accreditation supports and encourages continuing self-assessment by nursing programs and supports continuing growth and improvement of collegiate professional education and post-baccalaureate nurse residency programs.
A self-study was prepared last summer that was presented to and reviewed by the CCNE peer review committee prior to and during their site visit last fall. The study examines each component of the program, its mission, goals, expected outcomes, and conducts an assessment of the performance or success rate. One measure of success is the pass rate on the national certification exam.
"Spring Hill students' pass rate for the CNL certification exam is above the national exam pass rate," Fox said. "This is a rewarding accomplishment for our students and our faculty."
The MSN CNL program at Spring Hill was launched in the spring of 2006, and received the initial maximum accreditation in that same year, prior to graduating its first class graduating class of 3 in 2007. Since that time, more than 75 students have completed the program.
The Clinical Nurse Leader role was developed and implemented in 2005 by American Association of Colleges of Nursing to help serve growing health care needs. The CNL is a master's educated generalist practitioner who relies on evidence-based practice, and manages care for distinct patient groups. Spring Hill's program is unique in that it allows nurses with associate degrees to move easily into a masters program and also offers a post-master's certificate for master's prepared nurses who would like to be eligible to take the certification exam.
For more information on Spring Hill College's MSN-CNL program visit www.shc.edu/msn or call (251) 380-3094.
* The Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education is located at One DuPont Circle, NW, Suite 530, Washington, D.C. 20036, phone: (202) 887-6791.

A good news story is unfolding in Brunswick County that people should know about.
I'm talking about the environmental cleanup of the former Kerr-McGee Chemical Corp. in Navassa.
From the 1930s until 1974, Kerr-McGee used creosote to preserve wood products on a 246-acre site in Navassa. Unfortunately, these operations came about before we knew the importance of balancing our economic desires with our needs to protect the environment.
The last time I was in my hometown, it was to lay my godfather to rest. I decided I wasn't going to wait for a sad occasion to go back again.
It only took me five years to make good on that call.
I just spent my first real vacation in seven years in my native Cleveland.
You know how I knew for sure I was overdue for a break? I realized after we'd gone to press last week I'd misspelled the name of Olympic women's beach volleyball gold medalist Misty May-Treanor in my column. How embarrassing.
Brunswick County suffers from two distinct drug problems: prescription and heroin.
The former is being addressed by the Brunswick Coalition, established last year and modeled after Project Lazarus to focus on prescription painkiller, or opioid, abuse, misuse and addiction. Project Lazarus is a secular public health nonprofit established in 2008 in response to extremely high drug overdose death rates in Wilkes County.
The Brunswick County Superior Court under the direction of Judge Ola M. Lewis with prosecutor Jon David and courtroom clerk Amanda Kidd adjudicated the following cases Aug. 8 during a grand jury session:
Mitchell Brandon Davis, felony breaking/entering, felony larceny after breaking/entering, obtaining property by false pretense.
Willie Anderson Dock Jr., conspiring to traffic in opium/heroin, trafficking opium/heroin.
The following cases were adjudicated over four days of District Criminal Court on Aug. 1, 2, 4 and 5 in Bolivia.
Codes: PG, pleaded guilty; PNG/NG, pleaded not guilty, found not guilty; PNG/G, pleaded not guilty, found guilty; BCDF, Brunswick County Detention Facility; NCDOC, North Carolina Department of Correction.
Monday, Aug. 1
Judge Pauline Hankins presided over the following cases with prosecutor Cathi Radford and courtroom clerk Jennifer Jones:
Brunswick County Attorney Bob Shaver has been named Outstanding County Attorney of the Year by the North Carolina Association of County Attorneys (NCACA).
The Outstanding Attorney of the Year is given each year to a county attorney in recognition of providing exemplary service to the profession and to the public. Shaver was named the Outstanding Attorney of the Year for 2016 and recognized for the achievement by both the NCACA and the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners.
Brunswick County's residential real estate market demonstrated consistent strength with healthy numbers in July. While sales dropped slightly from 2015, 2016 has yielded consistent, strong numbers month over month, according to the most recent statistics from the Brunswick County Association of Realtors.
Voters in Brunswick County will answer a $152 million question when they cast their ballots Nov. 8 on whether to approve a bond referendum to benefit Brunswick County Schools.
The bond would pay for capital improvement projects at each of the district's 19 schools in an eight-year cycle between 2017 and 2024.
The Brunswick County Board of Elections discussed one-stop implementation plans for the 2016 General Election during its regular meeting Monday, Aug. 15.
The one-stop plan must be revisited in light of the recent decision of the U.S. Court of Appeals that now mandates a 17-day early voting period.
The Brunswick County Sheriff's Office identified a Bolivia couple found dead in an apparent murder-suicide Monday morning, Aug. 15.
A medical examiner said 54-year-old Helen Ann Santilli and her husband, 60-year-old Richard Albert Santilli, each died of a single gunshot wound at their home in the 400 block of Kingswood Court in Winding River Plantation, according to a sheriff's office news release.

Quest | CWBCPosted on Jan 22, 2012 in #CWBC, Word Obsession (blog) | 22 comments
This month the ChristianWriters Blog Chain's subject is 'Quest', a word that brings to mind tales of daring and sorrow, of heroes and fiends… and life. The reason I say this is due to my own life's Quest the past months. Oddly enough, it does not entail writing, though I know that is the subject matter of most of my CWBC blog posts.
My husband's career for the past 7 years has been that of Construction Safety. In March of 2011 a Canada-based construction company hired him for an 18-month project in Eastern Washington. Because of the distance from our home in Kent, I would only be able to see him on weekends. During the winter, when the Pass is closed due to inclement weather, those weekends would be few and far between.
The Lord put His hand in our affairs and made it possible for us to rent out our Kent house to friends and get me transferred within my company to a project site in Eastern Washington. We also found a great house to rent, which would be paid for by the hubs's company. Some of you may recall previous posts of the Eastern Washington locale, the small town feel, the laid back atmosphere, and the sense of 'spiritualism' (for lack of a better word).
Suffice it to say, the hubs and I love the area and do not want to leave, even when the project is done in December of 2012.
Around Thanksgiving we received dire news: they were pulling my husband from the project 12 months early. Instead, he would report to the district office in Bellevue. It would all happen the beginning of the new year.
We were confounded. How could this be happening again? We were in a similar situation in 2010 when my husband was assigned to a naval base project as the safety officer. Again, I only saw him on weekends (or less) for 5 months.
But now, we had left our "wet side" life behind. We had rented out our house, relocated everything – even the dog – only to be told that he would no longer be on this project. Not only that, they did not even know where they would put him. Both of us were deposited with little regard into a state of limbo. The one blessing we held was the fact both of us still had jobs in a floundering economy so we have been better able to float a mortgage as well as the rent of this second house.
Of course it would be easy enough for me to request a transfer back to the corporate office, if we wanted to return to the "wet side", but we both feel our heart is here. Not only have we been transplanted, our heart and soul has taken firm root. The only option left to us was for the hubs to seek another position with a different company.
This is where we currently find ourselves, waiting for the final interview with a large company in need of not simply a coordinator or officer, but a safety MANAGER. There would also be opportunity for advancement to a director role in the future, something the hubs is definitely looking forward to. In the interim, we try to be patient and bide our time. To wait and see what the Lord has in store for us THIS time.
This current challenge has me wondering…. Was the promise of an 18-month project the only way to get the hubs and I to venture to the other side of the Pass? To find our real home? To put him on this better career path that might result in us succeeding as a 1-income family so that I can focus on my writing?
These are the questions waiting to be answered as we keep plodding onward, seeking the prize at the end of this grueling race we call life. I must admit the first adventure of a 5-month separate has me better prepared for the weekend-only visits, and it is easier to keep my hopes at a manageable level, but it will be nice to reach the end of this particular journey.
Will there be another further down the road? Most definitely.
Will it be the same? I hope not! Three times in a row makes for a bit of a boring quest?
Perhaps the future challenge would be the opportunity to move to a different state? Or perhaps it will involve a writing workshop or writer's retreat to another state or country? Time will tell, as will the result of our current quest. But one thing is certain, the Lord sees the big picture and He will never ask us to make the journey alone.

University Hospital opens four new outpatient exam rooms for rehabilitation therapy
SYRACUSE, N.Y. – Four new outpatient exam rooms for University Hospital's Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation have opened in the Institute for Human Performance, 505 Irving Ave.
The new exam rooms are needed to accommodate increases in patient volume in the hospital's rehabilitation therapy programs. University Hospital began seeing rehabilitation therapy patients at the IHP in 2004. Today, the rehabilitation program at the IHP records more than 1,200 patient visits a month.
"We're delighted with the new space," said Lori Holmes, director of rehabilitation. "It provides our patients with more room and greater proximity to a full array of therapy options, which is ideal for rehabilitation program." Holmes said the additional space also provides the program with the ability to take on additional patients.
The new exam rooms are located on the second floor of the IHP adjacent to the institute's spacious therapy gym and track. Aqua therapy programs are offered in the nearby pool, which has a moveable floor to accommodate patients with limited mobility. The Central New York Sports Concussion Center is also located in the IHP. Parking is available in the lot behind the IHP.
The outpatient rehabilitation program at the IHP is open 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday and Thursday.
For more information on the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation's offerings, call Health Connections at 464-8668.

COLORADO SPRINGS - Co. Many of you have been looking for ways to help families and first responders affected by the fire.
While there are dozens of organizations that would be happy to hear from you, there are also some people who take advantage of this situation.
Sometimes people will get calls, asking for donations- when in fact most disaster organizations won't do that. It's important to remember to do your research before giving money to just any organization.
When disaster strikes in our community, just about everyone is ready to help- but some will try to exploit the situation.
The latest warning comes from the Colorado Springs Fire Department, reminding all of us, they do not call people directly asking for donations- period.
If you get a call from someone making that claim, it's worth asking questions.
Sadly that message is one many in our area have heard before and many are ready for it.
"Whether it be through a church or the Red Cross," said a spokesperson for the Colorado Springs Fire Department, "you want to make sure it's a legitimate organization you know personally instead of someone calling at random.
"I think everybody just needs to do their research and be aware."
Now in some cases, companies are contracted to make those calls and will ask you to make a pledge.
That is not a scam, but a lot of the time your money doesn't go to the people you expect it to.
Another reason its a good idea to research a company before handing over your credit card number
If you do want to make a donation we have a list of organizations we recommend on our website, kktv.com.

On my current site, I have the wpmudev plugin 'directory' installed - which allows you to upload a featured image from the front end on a designated page.
Clicking 'set featured image' should open up the wp media manager popup and allow you to add a featured image, and when selecting the image, it would close the popup and my image would be set.
My issue is that when i click on 'set featured image' - instead of the overlay/popup, I get directed to a page (url extension) wp-admin/media-upload.php?post_id=4362&type=image&TB_iframe=1 which lets you select an image, but doesn't allow you to set it, or return back to the original page.
Has anyone seen this issue before? I've changed themes, uninstalled all plugins, tested on all browsers, all networks, created a new user etc with all kinds of permissions to no avail.
Any help greatly appreciated! The guys at wpmudev can't seem to help either.

...or the other possibility is that I do not understand how it works.
When I click on Insert Map button in a new post/page, I get an http 404 error and the popup window says that it is not possible to open the page. I wonder what 'page' it is looking for, because if I use shortcodes the map is displayed correctly but if I try to insert the map through the button I get that error.
At present I am testing LMM plugin with Instant WordPress and only a couple of other plugins are installed, namely Polylang and WP-Native Dashboard (plus the ones included in WordPress 3.3.1).
Last but not least, kudos and congratulations to the author for this great plugin and for keeping it free.
Thanks a lot!!!

Aziz Ansari has a new stand-up special out. He's releasing it for $5 online, just like Louis C.K. recently did. I haven't watched it yet but I did check out—which is pretty hilarious. In it, he talks about overhearing 50 Cent get confused by the idea of a grapefruit. This drawing was inspired by that bit.

This was easy and a nice change. Served with grilled Lobster tails and Snow Crab legs for Valentines Day, and it paired well. Although my son didn't seem to like it as much as I thought he would, but I will make it again.
This was easy to put together and tasted good. I only used about 2 T parmesan (that was all I had left), which was ok because I served it with Chinese Simmer Chicken and I don't think I would have paired well with the right amount of cheese. This did need salt and I would have liked a set amount mentioned. I did use chicken broth.
This was really good and so easy...kindof like a fancy mac and cheese...

This Friday, November 7th, Gears of War 2 is out and I'm starting to get pretty excited. I really enjoyed the first Gears and getting more co-op (story and Horde) as well as expanded and improved multiplayer (more maps and better matchmaking) makes it the shooter I'll most likely play the most this holidays (with World at War I'm still undecided and Left 4 Dead will be a definite purchase, but Gears will offer more in the long run).
A negative side effect of the upcoming release of GoW2 is that it will eat into my Fable 2 and Fallout 3 time. Both games have impressed me and are both very addictive. A single play through for both (side quests included) will provide tens of hours (up to 100+ maybe for Fallout if my Oblivion play time is any indication) and both give incentive to play through again thanks to the significant choices you can make in the game.
Other games I'll probably wait until January or later to pick up include Mirror's Edge (I had a lot fun with the demo), Dead Space (looks great and reviewed very well) and Banjo Kazooie (interesting take on the platforming genre). For me 2008 has been better year for games than 2007. Will 2009 top it??

Russia Voting After Rancorous Campaign, but All's Just Prelude to Main Bout Next Year
By MICHAEL WINES
Published: December 19, 1999
MOSCOW, Dec. 18— The race for Russia's third Parliament since the end of the Soviet Union, to be chosen Sunday in a marathon 23 hours of voting, was less a campaign than a barroom brawl, a chairs-over-the-head affair suffused with slander, manipulation and unvarnished peculiarity on all sides.
Yet it was also a race that the public took seriously, despite its disgust at the tactics. Between the opening of the first polling booths at 8 a.m. local time Sunday in Russia's Far East and the closing of the last, 11 time zones to the west, in Kaliningrad on the Baltic Sea, as many as 80 percent of the 107 million eligible voters are expected to cast ballots for the Duma, as the lower house of Parliament is called.
Eight years after the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, the Communists are once again expected to emerge with a plurality of the 450 seats at stake. But it is a measure both of the surreal nature of the campaign, and of the Duma's weight compared with the far more powerful presidency, that almost no one perceives the Communists as the potential victors in this contest.
The focus is on two parties that are effectively straw men for the Kremlin clique around President Boris N. Yeltsin and for its most powerful opponents. They are led by former Prime Minister Yevgeny M. Primakov and the mayor of Moscow, Yuri D. Luzhkov.
Neither of the parties that represents these two camps existed a year ago. But the outcome of their struggle, for second and third place in the parliamentary vote, will determine who has a psychological leg up in the next round of even more bare-knuckled campaigning, the run-up to the election of a successor to Mr. Yeltsin next summer.
Apparently in an attempt to cast this weekend's vote as a true forerunner of that real tussle for power, Mr. Primakov announced on Friday that he would run for president. His probable opponent in Mr. Yeltsin's Kremlin camp is Prime Minister Vladimir M. Putin, the former K.G.B. agent who so far has captivated the electorate by running a seemingly brisk if brutal war in Chechnya and thus projecting the image of a strong and decisive leader.
''The parliamentary election is just a sideshow to this whole thing,'' said Michael McFaul, a Russia scholar at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, referring to the battle between the Kremlin and the Primakov-Luzhkov alliance.
As for the score or so other parties competing in the parliamentary elections, he said, ''they're just sort of white noise in the background.''
In truth, for all the noise and fury in this election, it is hard to tell yet what it signifies beyond a rearrangement of Russia's political furniture before the presidential vote.
One of the great powers of the current Parliament, a Kremlin-backed party called Our Home Is Russia, is expected to fade from the scene almost without a whimper. Its leader, Viktor S. Chernomyrdin, was prime minister and a Yeltsin favorite when the last parliament was elected in 1995. Now he is out of the political game.
The new pro-Kremlin faction, variously called Unity and Medved -- Russian for Bear -- did not exist six months ago and, like Mr. Chernomyrdin's party four years ago, has little visible ideology beyond a desire to retain power.
The Primakov-Luzhkov alliance, called Fatherland-All Russia, also sprang to life this year without much of a philosophy beyond claiming the Kremlin for itself.
The only constants are the Communists and the West-leaning Yabloko party, two iconoclastic and ideological factions whose refusal to compromise have left them proud, but on the edges of power.
If this does not sound like the liberal democracy many envisioned when the Soviet Union broke up and Russia gained independence in 1991, it is not. Some experts say Sunday's vote signals Russia's drift away from a checks-and-balances political system toward the strongman form of government that has held sway for most of the last 1,000 years, and for which many crisis-fatigued Russians now openly long.
But it still is a democracy, and in some ways a robust one. Predictions of the turnout for Sunday's vote range from 60 to 80 percent of eligible voters, figures which would put Americans to shame. And the political debate here -- ragged, raw, state- and tycoon-controlled, libelous and frequently funny -- is far more heartfelt and ubiquitous than in jaded American or West European electoral districts.
As evidence, consider this exchange on national television last week: Grigory A. Yavlinsky, leader of the Yabloko party, called Anatoly M. Chubais of the Union of Right Forces ''a former keeper of the president's chamber pot.''
Mr. Chubais, who ran Mr. Yeltsin's 1996 presidential campaign and is widely despised in Russia for the way he introduced capitalism in the early 1990's, likened Mr. Yavlinsky to ''a pure, honest, immaculate, and incorruptible bride, with only one flaw: the bride is already going on 60.''
The two men are actually, in a sense, ideological allies, leaders of the only two pro-Western liberal parties. Between enemies, such exchanges actually get personal.
The results of the voting will not be fully known until at least Monday evening in Moscow.

The Tomahawk Kit Car: Made in Quebec
In January at the Montreal International Auto Show, visitors will have the opportunity to see the Tomahawk for the first time. The Tomahawk is a two-seater, mid-engine sports car, fully designed and developed in Québec by Dubuc SuperLightCar (SLC).
The Tomahawk is also a kit car that you can assemble yourself. Moreover, Dubuc SuperLightCar intends to become the reference and a leader in this corner of the industry, which experienced its heyday in the US during the 1970s and 1980s.
Aesthetically, the high-performance sports coupe made me think about the BMW i8, including its doors which open at an angle of 75 degrees.
The complete set includes:
- A monocoque aluminum chassis;
- Bodywork using lightweight polymer materials;
- A Targa roof;
- DOT-approved Windshield;
- Vertically-opening doors ;
- Bucket seats, a dashboard and a center console .
Note that the chassis has been designed to be able to use the suspension and steering of a C4 Chevrolet Corvette. The ergonomic cockpit can accommodate a 6ft 3in adult weighing up to 275 pounds with ease.
The set sells for $19,995.
Mr. Dubuc is skilled with his hands and can assemble a Tomahawk in 250 hours at a total cost of around $30,000.
The Tomahawk can be powered by a gasoline or electric motor. The company is currently in talks with TM4 in order to test their electric motors. If it's used in the Tomahawk, the car would become 100% made in Quebec.

What do you do when you have no support system? I want to become a vegetarian but my family is not going to let that happen so easily. No matter what I tell them they either make fun of me or ignore me all together. Without some support I can't do this.
Please log in to reply.
Over a year ago
I just remember why I'm doing what I'm doing. When I decided to go vegan, no one supported me, not even my vegetarian mother. I, unfortunately, learned that I couldn't count on anyone else to be strong, I had to rely on my morals. (Wow, I swear that sounded less preachy in my head!) But if you're ever feeling down, just come to these boards. There are a lot of people struggling with the same thing and lots of helpful fellow veggies!You must be logged in to reply to this topic.

Morley Safer profiles Stephen Colbert in the wake of his take-no-prisoners roast of President Bush. Watch for the bit about the origins of "truthiness."
Crooks and Liars:
Colbert defines his no-nonsense philosophy with a single word: "truthiness." "Truthiness. Now I'm sure some of the word police—the wordinistas—over at Webster's are going to say, 'Hey, that's not a word.' Well, anybody who knows me knows that I'm no fan of dictionaries. Or reference books. They're elitist," Colbert jokes.
Asked to define "truthiness," Colbert tells Safer, "Truthiness is what you want the facts to be as opposed to what the facts are. What feels like the right answer as opposed to what reality will support."

Hello all!
Welcome and.....welcome to the latest in nursing education.
Visit www.nln.org and click on Publications to learn about the new book from the National League for Nursing titled: Innovations in Nursing Education: Building the Future of Nursing, Volume 3. It was my pleasure to edit this book. The book provides many wonderful ideas for innovating nursing education. Volume 3 will be available at the NLN Summit in Las Vegas in September, 2015 then online at nln.org.
Concept-based Curriculum
Over the past 5 years my work with schools of nursing related to curriculum revision has consistently moved in the direction of the Concept-Based Curriculum.
If you are thinking of moving to a concept-based curriculum and would like some consulting assistance, please call for information about how I can help!
Also, please visit Elsevier's website and look for my new book:
Mastering Concept-Based Teaching: A Guide for Nurse Educators written by Drs. Jean Giddens, Linda Caputi, and Beth Rodgers.
Other areas of current topics for faculty development and conference workshops include the following:
1. Increasing NCLEX pass rates. I can help you by developing an action plan and working with faculty to implement that plan for increasing NCLEX pass rates.
2. Teaching clinical reasoning -- one of the major issues facing nursing education today is how to teach students to think like a nurse. This requires a major change in the way we have been teaching critical thinking, but it can be done! I can provide a model for teaching clinical reasoning that is practical and easy to implement.
3. The Caputi Model for Clinical Education© -- Click on Teaching Tools tab to download the model. Faculty workshop available to share this model of transforming clinical instruction to meet today's nursing education needs.
4. Writing critical thinking test items. It's not enough to teach critical thinking, we then must evaluate students to determine their level of achievement. Test items must be at the application or higher cognitive levels. But how do you know if you wrote a critical thinking test item? I have a flowchart that faculty can use to determine if a test item is a critical thinking item -- this is the focus of this workshop on test item writing.
New workshops!
1. Getting ready for nursing program accreditation -- all aspects of nursing program accreditation from a needs assessment, to guidance in the process, to assistance after the visit. Please contact me with your specific needs for an individualized quote.
2. Transforming Clinical Education: Learn to make your clinicals manageable for both students and faculty, and create a valid and reliable clinical evaluation tool!
3. The Curriculum Revision Toolkit© : A Toolkit for nursing programs to use to guide their curriculum revision process, available as either an onsite workshop or for purchase with telephone consultation.
4. Strategies for Teaching Pharmacology: Provides learning strategies that are meaningful and engaging.
5. Aligning Nursing Education with Practice: How we can make it happen! This presentations provides an overview of the education/practice gap and offers practical ideas about how to close the gap.
6. A Review Course for the Certified Nurse Educator(TM) Exam
Click on the "Workshop Topics" tab for a complete list.
And here is a message I received from a faculty in Michigan about the Caputi Model for Clinical Education:
This was exactly what I needed as I plan this semester's clinicals--WOW. It is the missing piece. We have struggled trying to figure out how to make the most of clinical experiences and give students a way to think through everything they see, do, learn, hear...now we have awesome tools. Thanks a million!

And finally,
The purpose of this website is to provide information about my work and services as a nursing education consultant, author, and workshop presenter.
I hope you find this website useful as a source of information for your nursing education program. Please contact me to discuss your needs and how I can help.

I sit near a beautiful Buddhist temple in central Bali, completely mesmerized by the peaceful scenery of rice fields, palm trees and volcanoes in the background, after a very busy and intense week in Surabaya, Indonesia, where we just finished the annual conference of the Asian Pacific Chapter of WAS (APA 16). Based on the final number of participants registered for the conference, WAS broke an attendance record, with nearly 6,000 participants representing more than 51 countries. This is arguably to be expected because roughly 90 percent of global aquaculture production comes from Asia but attendance was indeed impressive....
