In-BC Receives Funding to Build on Healthcare Changes
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA–(April 4, 2008) – The Interprofessional Network of British Columbia (In-BC) has received $335,000 in one-time funding from the B.C. Ministry of Health to continue operations and focus on developing plans for future interprofessional health education and collaboration in the province."We are pleased to provide funding to the Interprofessional Network of BC as it supports our commitment to enhance care for all British Columbians," said Health Minister George Abbott. "We know that collaborative, team-based practice not only improves patient outcomes, but also enhances the workplace for health professionals and students. British Columbia has a range of programs to support and enhance interprofessional practice throughout the province."
The one-time funding will be used to sustain the IRPbc program which places interprofessional student teams in rural and remote BC communities; conclude the activities of the first two years of In-BC by acknowledging the individuals and communities who have contributed to the network's success and incorporating lessons learned into planning for the future; and hold targeted stakeholder consultations to inform the development of a business case which will explore options for future resource and long-term sustainability.
"We are thrilled that the Ministry has recognized the work In-BC has done to transform healthcare over the past two years," said Lesley Bainbridge, co-lead of the project. "Now we have an opportunity to take what we've learned and use it to enhance interprofessional teamwork in a way that benefits all British Columbians."
Originally funded through a Health Canada IECPCP (Interprofessional Education for Collaborative Patient-Centred Practice) grant, In-BC has become the hub of interprofessional collaboration in British Columbia and supported a number of distinct projects such as:
– The Collaboration for Maternal & Newborn Health which is increasing communication and Interprofessional practice between maternity care providers (from doctors to midwives to doulas to researchers).
– The UBC Health Clinic which has developed and implemented a sustainable, interprofessional primary care teaching clinic that includes the team, the space and the model of care.
– Patients First, which is fosters Interprofessional collaboration in First Nations/Aboriginal communities in the northern health authority, and assesses the impact of collaborative patient-centred practice on patient care outcomes.
"With Health Canada funding for In-BC coming to a close on March 31, 2008, we're grateful to the BC Government for stepping forward to ensure B.C. continues to lead the interprofessional movement in Canada," said Bainbridge.

Darnell Mayberry: "With the Thunder's offense needing him in the worst way, Durant scored just four points in the final period. He had two turnovers and one very fortunate assist. Brooklyn loaded up and locked him down. His catches were tough. His lanes to the basket were non-existent. Everywhere he looked, he saw at least six sets of eyes. Shaun Livingston was hounding him on the perimeter. Kevin Garnett was ignoring Serge Ibaka and sitting in Durant's lap. And at least one additional defender was waiting with a foot in the paint. This is how teams are again game-planning and playing Durant without Russell Westbrook watching from the bench."
Rob Mahoney of SI.com: "Oklahoma City's offense, then, suffers for all the differences between the two. It becomes far easier for opposing defense to overload on Kevin Durant, which then hinders his ability to get to the rim and shapes his shot selection. The shift saps the offensive impact of Serge Ibaka, who feeds off of Westbrook's dribble penetration. The sets and sequences don't change, but their execution does — from Jackson's own style to the way defenses respond to him. Even with all those factors to account for and address, there's still plenty of opportunity for OKC to subsist without Westbrook. Where they're likely to come up short is in managing anything further — particularly the championship designs the Thunder cultivated over the last four seasons."
J.A. Adande of ESPN.com: "I like the concept of the Thunder. They were the most impressive team in the West before Russell went down. I'm just not as high on their chances anymore because we don't know how Westbrook's knee will hold up. He lasted 25 games before he needed to go back to the shop. He'll need to play almost twice as many games if he comes back right after the All-Star Game and the Thunder make a deep playoff run. Which makes me think: His projected return date is right on the line between precaution and prepared. You don't want him to rush back, but he also needs time to get his timing and game conditioning back and for his teammates to readjust to him. I wouldn't wait much later than February if I were him."
KD dominating another small child on a basketball court.
Ben Polk for TrueHoop on that wild Thunder-Wolves game two years ago: "On March 23, 2012, the Minnesota Timberwolves slouched into Oklahoma City to play the Thunder. Both teams were wobbly with fatigue, the result of the grueling, lockout-compressed schedule. The Thunder were cruising to the top seed in the Western Conference while the Wolves were shredded by injuries — Ricky Rubio, Nikola Pekovic and Michael Beasley were all on the shelf — and mired in another wrecked season. We thought we knew what was coming on this Friday. Kevin Love would grab some rebounds. Kevin Durant would score a bunch of points. The Thunder would roll the Wolves in routine fashion and we would all say goodnight, see you again tomorrow. The season would grind on. Instead, we got was a minor classic, a wildly exciting, two-overtime, 149-140 Thunder victory."

#DigitalJoneses #TrendMicro
With the kids all on summer break from school, I have definitely noticed an increase in their time spent video and online gaming. I should clarify that I'm not allowing them to be lazy blobs on my couch all day. The reality is, my kids are extremely active in sports and other activities. In fact, it's because the kids are coming home so physically exhausted from practices, training sessions, and sports camps that our gaming consoles are getting a large amount of recent use. It's our older kids "go to" activity when they arrive home physically exhausted. And with that in mind, June's Digital Joneses challenge on Video Game Safety was a well timed reminder for this Mommy of 5.
Here are half a dozen tips I picked up from Trend Micro that I wanted to pass along:
Take an InterestTrend Micro's first tip in keeping the kids safe while gaming is in my opinion the most important one, parents must stay involved. And I confess that I've also found this piece of advice, while wise, to be quite difficult for me to fully accomplish due to our family's structure and dynamics.
While one of the easiest ways to stay involved in the kids gaming can be to keep the gaming system in a common area of the home, unfortunately this concept can't be done in our household. I'd love to have the gaming system centrally located so I can see and hear what the kids are playing and perhaps even jump in and play along. However, keeping our PS3 full time in the family room would expose our 4 year old twin boys to the games my 17 year old son is playing and that's not an acceptable scenario. To further complicate staying involved in my oldest son's gaming, is our schedules. With it being summer our son often has just begun his play as hubby and I are heading off to bed.
So how do I stay involved in terms of our oldest kids? I find they do like to talk about what's going on in their games and that desire to share their accomplishments with someone who will listen (coupled with implementing some basic rules and safeguards) works for us. By simply taking an interest in their favorite games, I've found myself able to keep up fairly well on how long they played and with whom.
Utilize the RatingsJust like movies, video games have their own ratings assigned by The Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB.org). The ratings are "EC" Early Childhood, "E" for Everyone, "E10+" for Everyone 10 +, "T" for Teen, "M" for Mature, and "AO" for Adults Only. Trend Micro pointed out to us Digital Joneses that while these ratings are good guidelines, parents should still preview content before allowing their child to play it and I'd agree that is essential. Guidelines work great in terms of generally weeding games out, but I agree that only I really know what will or won't work for my child. The rating board has no way of knowing that my child is petrified of spiders or jellyfish, so ultimately I have to decide what game would be best for what child. With my 4 year old twin boys just starting to game, I found it handy to put my 11 and 13 year old to work helping me preview potential first options.
Additionally, don't forget to check your favorite parenting and mom blogs for what their thought was on a new game or app released. While I personally don't have too many video game reviews, I do have posts on many of favorite kid apps.
Set the Parental ControlsI polled several of my friends and absolutely none of them knew, including me, that gaming consoles like Playstation 3, Xbox, and etc had parent control settings! When did that happen? Did you guys all know this? Sure enough, I checked my Playstation 3 (after reading the provided tips) and it will allow me to set what game rating levels can be played, what movie rating levels can be played, restrict web browsing, and more. How did I miss that memo? In case you need help here is Playstation 3 Parental Control instructions and Xbox360 parent controls, as well as Nintendo Wii Instructions. And while I'm on the subject, I should mention that portable devices like the Kindle Fire and iPad also offer parent control settings I've found to be helpful. Furthermore, watch for additional software for your gaming consoles that offers even further protection options.
Never Let Them Reveal Their Secret IdentityTrend Micro also reminded us how important it is to discuss privacy with your kids. Perhaps I'm still stuck in superhero mode from my four year twins recent birthday party, but I find it best to tell my kids to look at their online presence as their public superhero name and their real info as their private secret identity. Clark Kent never revealed he was Superman and vice versa Superman never revealed he was Clark Kent. There is no telling what the villans would do if they provided too much information. And whimsical analogy aside, my kids are on strict orders not to reveal details such as their name, gender, school, or home location to anyone online or off without my permission.
Watch for Bullying via Gaming ConsolesCyberbullying and online harassment isn't limited to just the computer. Interaction between players on many online games can also allow for these same kinds of incidents. Trend Micro reminds that one should learn what can be done. Options include blocking players via game settings, contacting game publishers, and even contacting local police depending on the nature of the threat involved.
Enforce LimitsI think most parents would agree that setting limits is a recurring theme in almost every aspect of parenthood. It's my mommy mission to limit everything from snacks to sun exposure. In terms of gaming, there are two limitations to be set, purchases and allocated game time.
Our purchase policy is simple, you can't buy anything without asking mom or dad. This rule is in place universally, whether we are talking about a .99 app or large purchase on their own gift card. we approve them all.
In regards to time limits, my job was done for me. 5 kids + 1 video game console = Lots of Sharing. The kids have worked out their own system on who can play when and what exceptions are made. I may settle a dispute here or there, but for the most part having only one game console has made it impossible for any one kid to play for too long.
Disclosure: Please note our family has received products from Trend Micro to help us examine the challenges contained within this year long study known as The Digital Joneses. However all opinions, thoughts and statements expressed here are our own.

Bad news for anyone worried about violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act: An already tough-to-sell affirmative defense under the law is now even harder to use, thanks to a recent court ruling.
A federal district court judge in New York ruled last month that the FCPA's local-law defense—where payment to a foreign official is permitted because it is "lawful under the written laws and regulations" of the official's country—applies primarily to the payment, not the person doing the paying. That distinction narrows the scope of the defense, and leaves U.S. corporations with even fewer options should they find themselves on the wrong end of an FCPA probe.
The ruling, U.S. v. Kozeny, came down from Judge Shira Scheindlin on Oct. 21. Defense lawyers say it is one of the first decisions on how the local-law defense should be interpreted.

In previous studies of the streptococcidal power of whole blood in vitro, it was ascertained that the organisms were killed by intracellular digestion following phagocytosis. In order to render phagocytosis effective, it was necessary to have specific antibody present in the plasma. Plasma without leukocytes was incapable of killing organisms. Tillett1 has demonstrated that plasma obtained from patients with febrile diseases not due to a hemolytic streptococcus is bacteriostatic, as well as bactericidal, for certain strains of hemolytic streptococci. As a part of our studies on hemolytic streptococcic infections, it was desirable to determine the effect of adding sulfanilamide to whole blood and to plasma in vitro and to study its mode of action. We were especially interested in determining whether the bactericidal power of the blood could be enhanced, since we have shown previously that during the natural course of hemolytic streptococcic infections specific antibodies increased or appeared

Any hopes that Mitsubishi would launch a new sedan, one that compliments both the Lancer and Galant in the U.S. lineup, are now dashed.
The company was looking at creating a new midsize sedan, patterned after the Concept-ZT from the 2007 Tokyo motor show.; The all-wheel-drive sedan would have been larger than the Lancer, smaller than the Galant, and reportedly a competitor to BMW's 3-series.
Cost was certainly a factor in cancelling the car.; The Concept-ZT used an aluminum spaceframe body and the advanced S-AWC all-wheel-drive system lifted straight from a Lancer Evolution.; Although Autocar suggests the firm had investigated using a steel body and two-wheel-drive, Mitsubishi still says it can't create a sound business case.

|Pool, spa maintenance an important part of keeping rivers, streams clean
Improper disposal of pool water can lead to fish eggs not getting oxygen
Summer will soon be upon us. Though spring cleaning gets us all ready for the summer season, pool and spa owners face a special set of cleaning and maintenance tasks.
Improper discharge of pool/spa water and the chemicals in it into streets or storm drains can have an impact on streams and rivers.
The following steps can help keep your pool or spa clean and functioning for recreational use without harming the environment:
• Clean filters and empty out the skimmers of debris.
• Remove vegetative debris and get those pumps going.
• Check to see if the disinfection system is working properly.
• Run the system for one turnover cycle of the pool or spa water and then get your test kit out to ensure that the chlorine is at the proper level and the pH is between 7 and 8. Adjust accordingly to achieve proper water balance so the water is neither too corrosive nor too scaly for the pipes, pool or spa surface material and equipment.
• For pools, check the decking, coping, and diving board. Ensure all equipment is clean, orderly and there are no leaks from the recirculation system piping or equipment.
• Never drain pool or spa water into streets or storm drains. Not only does it impact streams and rivers, violators are subject to fines per California Fish & Game code 5650.
There are times when a certain amount of the pool water needs to be drained to get the pool chemistry up to par. If you are connected to a city sewer, use the sewer cleanout or indoor drain, such as a sink or bathtub.
If you are connected to a septic system, do not drain pool or spa water into it.
This could cause damage and potentially cause the septic system to fail. To drain the water properly, ensure the water is not cloudy, pH is neutralized, and the chlorine or other disinfectant residual is below 0.1 milligrams/liter. Discharge the pool or spa water onto vegetated ground and ensure it is contained within your property boundary.
Use sandbags or berms if necessary to ensure that the water soaks into the planted area.
Do not discharge onto the leach-lines or other areas that have been saturated or have had recent fertilizer application and allow sufficient area to prevent ponding.
The backwash from filters must be discharged to a sanitary sewer or vegetated area within your property.
Street drainage and storm drains lead into streams, rivers, and other waterways without treatment.
Chlorine, algaecides and water conditioners are toxic to aquatic life such as fish. Diatomaceous earth and other filter media from backwash water can fill in the spaces in the stream bed gravel, preventing oxygen from reaching fish eggs and young fish.
In addition to residential pool maintenance, public swimming pools and commercial recreational facilities, such as spray grounds and water parks should be properly maintained to ensure public safety and to help protect the environment. For more information on proper pool and spa maintenance, go to Sonoma County's Department of Health Services website www.sonoma-county.org/health/services/pool.asp.
This article was authored by Terry Macute, water specialist for the Sonoma County Department of Health Services on behalf of RRWA. RRWA (www.rrwatershed.org) is an association of local public agencies in the Russian River Watershed that have come together to coordinate regional programs for clean water, fisheries restoration, and watershed enhancement.

ORANGE BEACH — Leaders along the Alabama coast continue to push BP PLC for marketing dollars that would help lure tourists back to the beaches and get people eating Gulf seafood again.
Gulf Shores Mayor Robert Craft said that money would help deal with the record-setting oil spill's impact on the coast's reputation, "the most fragile part of business and the most difficult to recover from."
To Bayou La Batre Mayor Stan Wright, the Gulf's oyster industry is a little bit like the California cow, particularly one seen in television commercials promoting "great milk from happy cows."
He envisions commercials for fresh Gulf Coast oysters, "showing the products and how you cook it" with delighted eaters slurping the oysters down.
The mayor, an oyster processor, said he meets regularly with his fellow seafood industry partners to talk about how to get those promotions started.
And Orange Beach Mayor Tony Kennon, meanwhile, is trying to form a coalition of elected officials from Panama City to the Louisiana coast in an effort to promote the northern Gulf Coast.
"Recovery isn't writing a check. It's changing perception," Craft said. "We've got to convince people that it's safe to come here."
So far there are officials from seven counties in Alabama and Florida involved in the interstate commission.
Speaking by telephone from a meeting in Pensacola this week, Kennon said officials in Florida were experiencing "the same troubles" with regard to Ken Feinberg's Gulf Coast Claims Facility.
Kennon has been outspoken in his criticism of Feinberg, occasionally even taunting the Washington lawyer during public events. The mayor has repeatedly said that he believes Feinberg misunderstands the economics of Alabama's beachfront community.
Kennon said he wants to reach out to the mayors of Biloxi and Gulfport and eventually as far west as Louisiana.
The bigger the group, Kennon imagines, the stronger the pact.
"British Petroleum's M.O. has been to divide and conquer," Kennon said. "And we're tired of that. We want to discuss and work hard to work together on what we have in common. What we've got to understand is that the northern Gulf Coast is a region and we all benefit from each other's success."
Last year's free fall concert series drew October crowds larger than the Baldwin coast has ever seen, officials said. Now Craft and other community leaders want BP to fund one more concert series.
Craft said last week that he and others are negotiating with BP on one "theory that hasn't been worked out yet."
That is: Charge admission for a concert series this year, and use the revenue to pay expenses for concerts in 2012, with money from each subsequent concert paying for the next.
"So BP only funds one more year," Craft said. "The best way for us to change the future claims problem is for them (BP) to give us the money we've requested for our marketing and advertising dollars for this spring and summer. If we bring the customers back, then the GCCF problem goes away."
BP spokesman Justin Saia on Thursday acknowledged working with Alabama officials in support of tourism.
Kennon said flatly "we want an absolute commitment in blood" for marketing money.
Craft said there are plans for events other than concerts, but he declined to comment further about those ideas.

Flags to fly at half-staff to honor soldier
Gov. Neil Abercrombie has ordered that U.S. and Hawaii flags be flown at half-staff today in honor of U.S. Army Chief Warrant Officer 2 Edward Balli, who died last month in Afghanistan.
Balli, a 42-year-old Oahu resident, was killed in a Jan. 20 insurgent attack in Kandahar province.
A memorial service will be held for Balli today. Flags have been ordered to fly at half-staff from sunrise to sunset at all state offices and agencies, as well as the Hawaii National Guard.
Tsutsui slated to attend business event
Lt. Gov. Shan Tsutsui will take part in a "talk story" event with the Maui Young Business Roundtable at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday in Central Pacific Bank's fourth-floor conference room in Kahului. The event is open to the public.
Tsutsui, 42, is seeking the office of lieutenant governor this election year. He was a Central Maui state senator and president of the state Senate until late 2012, when he was named lieutenant governor. Former Lt. Gov. Brian Schatz vacated the position to accept an appointment to the U.S. Senate to fill the seat left open by the death of U.S. Sen. Daniel Inouye in December 2012.
The roundtable group provides networking opportunities to young business professionals.
For more information or to RSVP, contact roundtable President Bryce Thayer at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Arakawa to discuss paratransit services
Maui County Mayor Alan Arakawa will discuss Americans with Disabilities Act paratransit bus services during his next "Your County with Mayor Arakawa" television show, according to an announcement Thursday.
The one-hour segment will be televised live beginning at 7 p.m. Wednesday on Akaku: Maui Community Television, cable Channel 54.
Paratransit bus services are federally required by the Americans with Disabilities Act. The services are provided for customers whose disability or health condition prevents them from using the Maui Bus fixed route services, the announcement said. Maui Economic Opportunity Inc. is contracted by the county to provide the service.
Featured guests will include Jo Anne Johnson Winer, Maui County Transportation Department director, and Debbie Cabebe, MEO's chief programs officer.
Viewers may ask questions during the show by calling 873-3430.
The program will be taped and retelevised at 7 p.m. Feb. 19 and 26 on the same channel.
For more information, call Maui County Communications Director Rod Antone at 270-7855.
Informational meetings set for DLNR plan
Statewide informational meetings have been set, including an event next month in Wailuku, for the state Department of Land and Natural Resources to publicly discuss its 2014 Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan.
The Maui meeting is scheduled for 5 to 7 p.m. March 3 in the county Department of Planning meeting room on the first floor of the Kalana Pukui building, the county building annex.
The department's Division of State Parks has updated the plan for the state to remain eligible to receive funds for outdoor recreation projects through the Land and Water Conservation Fund, a federal grants program administered by the National Park Service.
Public participation in the meetings will help state and federal officials select projects for funding. The projects should be those that best meet Hawaii's recreational needs and help resolve any conflicts.
Those planning to attend the meeting are asked to take a survey available at www.surveymonkey.com/s/hiscorp2014. The survey may be taken through Feb. 28.

Hello everyone!
I've been wanting to get into hunting for a few years now. I've been on a rifle squad and am a generally good target shooter, but hunting animials is completely new to me.
My question is this: I do not and cannot own a gun based on my living situation. I also don't think I'll be able to afford a $500 rifle in the future, regardless. (Which seems to be the price for the better hunting rifles at Cabela's.) Is there any way to become involved in hunting, otherwise, or should I just wait five or so years up the road to pursue this as a hobby? Are there community clubs or trips out there, for people like me?
I'm mostly interested in deer hunting. (I figure if I'm going to pay for a liscene, I might as well get some meat out of it; that would actually break even, IMO.)
Thanks in advance,

The addition of gradients to CSS was a huge turning point in our ability to stylize elements through CSS. Unfortunately, the syntax is not the easiest thing in the world to master, and uneven browser support means we currently have to use a number of prefixes in older syntax as workarounds in order to get them to work cross-browser. So in this exercise we're going to explore the Gradient syntax and ways that you can make writing them a little bit easier on yourself. I have the buttons file open from 06_03.
Just underneath the box-shadow that we were creating in the last exercise, I'm going to create another background declaration, and yes, I know I have one at top, but I like putting the gradients at the bottom. So gradients are always going to be a part of your background, and I have to specify what type of gradient I want. In this case, I want a linear-gradient. The next thing I have to do is specify the direction that I want the gradient to follow. Now I open up parenthesis at this point, and for this particular gradient I want to say to bottom, so it's going to give from the top to the bottom and then a comma, and I'm going to separate the color stops.
Now color stops are basically what color the gradient should start at and how many different colors you have within that gradient. I'm going to do a really simple one here of two colors, so I'm going to do rgb(30,87,153), so it's just a regular color declaration. The next thing I need to do is I need to tell it where I want that to position itself, and I'm going to say 0%. Now because it's saying to the bottom, that's essentially saying I want this color up top. And I can add as many colors as I want using that percentage as, hey, go this far down and do this color and do a gradient between the two of them.
Well, I'm just going to do a really simple gradient that starts at the top and goes all the way to the bottom. So here I'm going to do rgb, and inside parenthesis here I'm going to do 125, 185, 232. So this is a much lighter blue color. That I'm going to do 100%, which means all the way down at the bottom. Now don't forget to close parentheses that you opened up the very beginning. When you're doing the RGB syntax it's really easy to forget that. So don't forget to close that, and then I'm going to type in a semicolon. All right, I'm going to save this, and I'm going to go ahead and test that, and indeed, there is my gradient. It's going from that darker blue at top to the lighter blue on the bottom, which is exactly what I was going for.
Now you probably saying to yourself, well, that syntax wasn't that bad, why were you making such a big deal out of that? Well, I'm making a big deal out of it because if you want gradients to work everywhere, you have to support just a mind-numbing array of prefixes and older syntax, because the gradient syntax has been updated over the past couple of years and older browsers supported the older syntax. So in order for you to really be cross- browser compliant, you have to use several different forms of syntax for that, which can be really tedious, which is why I want to introduce you to this tool.
This is the Ultimate CSS Gradient Generator. You can find this at colorzilla.com/gradient-editor. This is a fantastic tool. I cannot recommend this enough. For those of you out there that are graphic designers, and you've worked with building gradients in Illustrator and Photoshop, this tool allows you to build gradients exactly the same way. You can come in and add your color stops and move them around and get rid of color stops and change colors. This is a really powerful editing tool. And then it goes ahead and generates the syntax for you.
So you're really just going ahead and creating whatever you want and then copying and pasting that syntax, it is so cool. There is all these Presets here and some of them are really nice, they are like glass buttons and some really good looking stuff. You can see a preview of it over here. I'm just going to grab the first gradient because it's sort of the blue we need, and it's also get kind of the nice little beveled glass look to it. There are a lot of things that you can do, you can adjust the hue and saturation, you can reverse the gradient, you can also change the Orientation, the direction of it, so there is all sorts of really cool stuff that you can do here.
I'm going to go right down here to the actual syntax, and it says, okay, what color format do you want? I'm going to switch it to RGB just to say consistent with what we've done. I can go ahead and throw in Internet Explorer 9 support, I definitely want to that. I can turn that on, that's going to give me this filter syntax down there. And then the very next thing I can do, I can just hover over the code, and this nice little button come up that says Copy. And I click on that, and it says, okay, you've copied it to the clipboard. Now it's just as simple as going back into my code editor--I might get rid of the existing gradient--and then I'm going to paste. This is going to get messy, so bear with me.
Boom! That is messy. I'm going to go ahead and use a little Dreamweaver tool here to apply source formatting. It's going to clean this up a little bit. I just want to go through some of this code here. I'm really just going to go through various comments. For older browsers that don't support gradients, they are going to get a solid RGB color. For Internet Explorer 9, we need a conditional override of that filter at the bottom in order to use SVG. Then we go down, and we see syntax for Firefox 3.6, and we have syntax for Chrome and Safari 4+, then the updated for Chrome 10, syntax for Opera, syntax for Internet Explorer 10, the W3C's non-prefix syntax and then at the very, very bottom we have Internet Explorer 6 through 8, which is using their proprietary filter property to, if you will, fake a gradient.
So if I save this, go back into my browser, and refresh this page, there is our new gradient, and that looks fantastic. Now I mentioned that we also need to do a hover and a focus. And I'm going to show you how fast this gradient editor can make you. I'm going to go back to my Gradient Generator, and I'm going to still work on the same gradient, so I'm selecting this gradient, then I'm going to tell that gradient to reverse. Reversing it just switches it, which is great for a rollover. I'm just going to go right back over to the code over here.
It's using the same settings that I've used before, and I'm just going to copy that. Go back into my Editor, and then inside the hover selector that we've already got there, just going to paste it. Now at the very bottom of that, I'm going to go ahead and change color, so I'm going to add the color property rgb, and this is the color of the text obviously, 212, 212, 225. So almost white, but not quite white, save that. And then finally, I also want to an active and focus style.
So I'm going to come back in, I'm going to reverse the direction of the gradient again, but this time I'm going to make a hue/saturation adjustment, I'm going to make it darker. I'm going to grab the Lightness value here, move that all the way down to about 30 or so, and you can see it change color. Once again, I'm going to come back up, copy this, move back over, and paste that code into the focus and active selector. I'm also going to do one more little thing here which is change color there as well, and the color I'm going to give that there is just white.
So I'm going to save that, I'll clean up my code again by applying source formatting. If your code editor has that feature I recommend it because it will help tame this code little bit. That's really it. That's why I love this tool. It's so easy to use, but don't let that stop you from learning the syntax and learning how this is supposed to be constructed, because occasionally you're going to go back in there and tweak the syntax. So make sure you at least read up on how the syntax works. So after I save that, I'm going to come back into my buttons, I'm going to refresh this page. There is our hover state, very nice, and notice if I click and hold mouse down on this button, there is the active state.
Also, if I tab through it, I get the active state as well. So take this method of using buttons, kind of play around with it a little bit, create your own buttons, experiment with the formatting, and see what you can come up with. That's one of the things that I love about these new CSS3 properties, they allow your creativity to shine.

Favorite crock pot meals
Not really. I do use it quite a bit but one thing I do that is beyond simple is the thing that gets eaten the most. lol I take a london broil and put it in the pot.....mix cream of mushroom soup and golden mushroom soup together and pour it over the meat. Cook. It will be gone like that!! lol
Also the other simple thing I do is put a pork loin in and put salt and pepper on it and maybe 1/4 cup of water. Let is cook. When it's done either eat it like that or shred it and add bbq sauce to it while it's in the pot for the last 10 minutes of cooking. That also gets gone fast. :)
Thanks for posting this. I'll be getting some new recipes out of this which I love!! :)
Quoting IncognitoOne:
Soups in the winter. I don't use a crock pot a lot though.
Manly Stew!
- 1lb stew meat
- 1 family size can of cheddar soup
- 1 family size can cream of mushroom soup
I also throw a pack of onion soup mix in mine. Let if cook on low for about 8 hours. I serve it over homemade biscuits & rice, but it makes an awesome brown gravy and taste good on EVERYTHING lol.
This is really good!
BBQ Beer Shredded Pork Sandwiches in The Crock Pot
- 1 cup of beer
- 2 bottles of bbq sauce
- Garlic/pepper/salt
- Pork Chops
- Put everything in crock pot and cook on low for 6 - 8 hours. Shred pork chops and let them sit in sauce for about 15 or so minutes.
- Serve on hamburger bun.
This is really good!
Rotisserie Chicken Crock Pot Style
Cook Time 6 hrs Temp High
- Ingredients
- 1 whole chicken
- olive oil, to spray chicken
- Lawry's Season Salt, to taste
- aluminum foil
- Directions
- Step One
- Clean chicken and spray with olive oil. Season with Lawry's seasoned salt.
- Step Two
- Make 4 2-3"balls of aluminum foil and place them in the bottom of the slow cooker. (The chicken is going to sit on these).
- Step Three
- Place chicken breast side down in slow cooker on top of aluminum balls.
- Step Four
- Cook on High, 4-6 hours.
Haven't tried it yet but sounds good!
Crock Pot Sour Cream Chicken
- to 4 chicken breast halves
- to 1 16 oz sour cream container
- to 1 10.5 ounce can of cream-based soup (Grammie uses Cream of Chicken, I like to use Cream of Celery)
- - Veggies (I like carrots and celery, and used 6 stalks of celery and a few handfuls of baby carrots)
- - Salt and pepper to taste
- - Rice
- Time Involved
- 5 minutes or so to prep, 6 hours to cook (in your crock pot!) on low.
- How to Make it
- Mix the can of soup and the sour cream in a bowl. Cut your veggies up. Dump half of the soup mixture and half of the veggies into your crock pot, place the chicken breasts on top, and then put the rest of the soup mixture and veggies on top of the chicken. Turn on your crock pot on low and let it sit for 6 hours or so. The chicken will be fall-apart delicious by the time it's done.
- Before serving, whip up some rice (we like brown rice, but tonight we used a microwaveable brown rice/quinoa mix from Costco and omg.it.was.delicious), make a bed of rice on your plate, and top with the sour cream chicken and veggies (and sauce…the sour cream sauce is so good!).
- In one meal you have your protein, your whole grains, your veggies, and even your dairy. And you can make it in your crock pot…win!
- Also? This makes an awesome lunch the next day.

Unimaginable tragedy struck the Chapman family the evening of May 21 when their 5-year-old daughter Maria Sue was accidentally killed by an SUV driven by her 17-year-old brother, Will Franklin.
"At first you don't even know if you can breathe. You don't know if you are going to survive the grief and the deep, deep, deep sadness," says Grammy-winning Christian singer Steven Curtis Chapman, who sat down with his family for an emotional interview with PEOPLE at their Franklin, Tenn., home. "You just want to lay down and die."
Wrestling with the pain of his daughter's death and the anguish of the son who was at the wheel, Chapman says, "every lyric I've ever written has been tested beyond what I ever imagined."
But the deeply religious family says the loss of Maria, who was adopted from China in 2004 (two more daughters, Shaoey, 9 next week, and Stevey Joy, 5, were also adopted from that country), served to strengthen their belief. "Faith is the only way I can tell myself she's okay. She's safe in the arms of Jesus and she's flyin' around," says Will, who continues, along with other family members, to see a counselor.
Steven's wife Mary Beth admits that healing is slow: "I'm broken and I would give anything to have my baby girl back. But that's not going to happen. So I wake up in the morning and make a choice. You can wallow in the deep end or you say, 'God, show me what you want me to be about today and how can I honor you, and in turn honor Maria.'"
Steven, Mary Beth, Will and oldest son Caleb, 18, all have gotten tattoos in honor of the little girl they called 'our laughter'. A photo of Mary Beth's tattoo and more from the family can be found in this week's PEOPLE.

Structural Software
Download a free trial in a couple minutes. No obligation. Trial products are fully-functional. Solve your next project on IES.
IES structural software tools are customer-proven and customer-driven sophisticated tools, but they are very simple for structural engineers to use.
We pay attention to little details, like allowing you to enter data in any unit you like. We also provide immediate error-checking of your input to prevent minor errors from becoming major mistakes. IES tools are easy to learn and use.
That's what we mean by simple.
Software should stay out of your way. Engineering is difficult enough that you do not have time or energy to be jumping through 'software hoops' or struggling with 'black box' errors. Our products implement only the most commonly required feature. You need IBC on some projects, but not everybody uses the same codes, so building codes and specifications are optional and customizable.
IES tools are designed to keep engineers focused on their tasks rather than trying to learn a new system. We think we have succeeded, because well over 3000 engineers (and related professionals) use our nine different products every day and one person at IES can handle all their questions in about 2 hours a day.
Not every structural project is a rectangular cookie-cutter building. You need customization of shapes and materials because sometimes you work overseas or on structures built in the days of rivets. You need high quality reports that show plan-checkers the details they need to see to validate your work. And you need tools that integrate well with spread sheets, BIM (Building Information Modeling) tools and CAD programs.
IES tools are flexible enough that you can build, create, improvise and solve a very wide range of problems with a minimum of fuss.
With VisualAnalysis and ShapeBuilder alone you can solve just about any civil/structural problem with some creative modeling. We offer more specialized products to get you in-and-out of a design much more quickly, with dedicated features for very specialized components and code provisions, but our 'general' tools are extremely versatile.

An Iowa man has been charged with assaulting his pregnant girlfriend and keeping her from leaving their apartment.
The Des Moines Register newspaper reports 35-year-old James Joseph Gabriel was arrested early Monday morning after the confrontation.
Des Moines police say Gabriel had several arguments with his 23-year-old girlfriend over the weekend.
Police say that on Sunday evening Gabriel pushed his girlfriend's head into a window and knocked her to the floor.
Then he pushed her to the floor several times and moved a refrigerator in front of the door to keep her from leaving.
Gabriel was being held in the Polk County jail Tuesday on suspicion of third-degree kidnapping and domestic abuse.

An overturned semi on I-95 southbound near exit 18 in Jasper County caused traffic problems Friday morning.
moving pretty good by 9PM. Not sure about Southbound north of the accident site but northbound seemed to be moving at normal speed at Exit 5 in Hardeeville for the first time all day.
is backed up again at exit 5 in Hardeeville. Not sure if they are still working on the problem they had yesterday or not. This may be a continuation of yesterday's problem. In any case travelers would be wise to take 17 from either exit five in Hardeeville North until it connects with I95 or the last exit in Ga then to Hardeeville through the Wildlife Refuge. Southbound should exit 95 at exit 21 in Rigdeland and get back on at Exit 8 or Exit 5 in Hardeeville.

Featured Golf News
Korea Claims 2010 Women's World Amateur Team Title
Korea broke the record for the lowest score and won the 2010 Women's World Amateur Team Championship by 17 strokes over the USA to claim its second Espirito Santo Trophy. The event was held at Olivos Golf Club in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The Koreans, who also won the title in 1996 in the Philippines, shot 30-under-par 546 and demolished the 72-hole scoring mark of 558 set by the USA in 1998. Overall, the Koreans have won four medals in the championship and finished second in 1994 and 2000. Their margin of victory was just four strokes shy of the record of 21 by the USA in 1998.
"This is the second time we have won this event and I would like to thank the players for the victory," said Korean captain Hyung-Mo Kang. "They played very well."
Hyun-Soo Kim and Jung-Eun Han shot 69 and 70, respectively. The 71 from Ji-Hee Kim was discarded.
"I never looked at the leader board," said Hun-Soo Kim, who was the low amateur at the 2010 Australian Women's Open. "I realized we won on the last hole."
Han, who advanced to the third round of the 2010 U.S. Women's Amateur, set the championship record for lowest 72-hole score by an individual at 275, one stroke better than Jenny Chuasiriporn of the USA in 1998.
"The Korean people who live in Argentina gave us applause and support," said Han, 17, who won the 2008 Queen Sirikit Cup. "I felt the pressure because I wanted to win this with the team."
The USA finished second at 563 for its 19th medal overall and third silver-medal performance. Danielle Kang, the 2010 U.S. Women's Amateur champion, shot 70 and Auburn University All-American Cydney Clanton shot 73
"It was a huge margin," American captain Roberta Bolduc said of Korea's 13-stroke lead to start the final round. "The Koreans played incredibly well. Our team played well but we didn't make a lot of putts. The silver medal sits very well. Second in the world is not a bad thing. In fact, it's a good thing."
In the second and third rounds, both at Buenos Aires Golf Club, the Koreans literally ran away from the field by firing a scorching 26 under par. Their record-setting stretch of play led to a championship-best 54-hole total of 25-under-par 407, bettering the USA's 416 in 1998.
Defending champion Sweden, France and South Africa finished tied for third at 572. Sweden kept its streak alive by finishing in the top 10 in all 24 Espirito Santo Trophy competitions.
Spain finished sixth at 573 followed by Canada in seventh at 574. Germany, the Philippines and New Zealand shared eighth place at 575.

I. Introduction
This is a short extract from Liz Greene's Psychological Horoscope Analysis. The complete report of 18-25 pages can be ordered as an E-Horoscope or a bound booklet in the Astroshop.This horoscope analysis - using the insights of astrology and psychology combined with the tools of advanced computer technology - offers you an astrological portrait which is uniquely and individually focussed and which aims at providing greater self-knowledge. II. Your Psychological Type
This short chapter describes your typical or characteristic way of responding to situations in life.The rich array of individual attributes portrayed in your birth horoscope is set, as it is with everyone, against the backdrop of a certain temperament bias. We might call this bias your psychological "type". The world of human relationship means everything to you, and the feelings of others are primary on the scale of your values. Yet you are often caught in a conflict between your need for warmth and closeness with others, and your need for privacy, space and the freedom to pursue your own interests - which often involve abstract concepts quite divorced from human reality. You have great compassion for the problems of others, and may often find yourself playing the role of the good mother or father [...] [..] There is something elusive and other-worldly about you, and although you respond warmly and sensitively to others and will happily nurture their potentials, you may experience some difficulty in truly committing yourself, because you fear being trapped in a monotony which [...] III. Character and Shadow
In this comprehensive chapter of the Psychological Horoscope Liz Greene provides valuable insights about your essential character traits.The interplay between the conscious and unconscious sides of you is a constantly shifting dance, changing at different stages of your life and altering according to the pressures and challenges which you encounter. The tension between the primary characters in your inner drama is the source of energy which provides your life with movement, purpose, conflict and growth. All that is young, helpless, unprotected or in pain draws your ready sympathy and support. Your chief fulfillment comes through your relationships with others, and through the feeling that your great reserves of strength are of use and value for someone else. You are [...] [..] There is a melancholy streak in you which makes you deeply responsive to music, poetry, and all artistic expressions of poignant feeling. But the future frightens you, because you have a peculiar propensity to project negative fantasies into it. There is also a strong self-sacrificing [...] Hidden traits [..] Your shadow-side contains all the cravings for freedom and all the self-centred, narcissistic and flighty aspects that you find so difficult in others yet which secretly fascinate you and arouse your envy. There are undoubtedly times when this hidden side of you makes itself [...] A minor character [..] You are a sensitive and idealistic person who is not wholly comfortable within the limits and boundaries of material life; for, like Plato, you crave the Good, the True and the Beautiful - and if you are unable to find glimpses of your dream amidst the mundane circumstances [...] IV. The Family Background
In the complete horoscope analysis, this chapter deals with your family myths as well as with your perception of your parents and their relationship.Although you are an individual, you have emerged from a family background. Thus you contain certain inner patterns, myths and attitudes toward life which you have acquired from the psychological soil of this background. V. Relationship Patterns
This chapter describes attitudes, needs and characteristic patterns in close one-to-one relationships.Both astrology and psychology teach us that nothing that occurs within a relationship is chance. Your birth horoscope describes what you are like inside, and therefore what kind of patterns, needs and compulsions you are likely to bring into your relationships with others. Although you are not above a little straying from the path of monogamous commitment (in fantasy if not in actuality), you tend to place enormous importance on the stability of your domestic life; and you tend to become deeply dependent on those you love because close relationships form the bedrock of your life. You are naturally attracted to women who are elusive, unpredictable, intellectually alive, and even perhaps a little childlike and in need of your protection. This kind of partner is a [...] [..] There is a kind of spark which is kindled in you only when you meet resistance or refusal to compromise in a woman as strong as you are, whom you know you cannot dominate; and equally, there is something in you which will try to dominate in any intimate relationship. Thus your [...] VI. Paths toward Integration
The final chapter of the Psychological Horoscope Analysis contains insights into the potential for growth as shown in your birth chart.The following paragraphs provide some suggestions of ways in which conscious effort might make it possible for you to achieve greater harmony between the different components within yourself, and to strengthen that centre of the personality which psychology calls the ego, the "I". Appendix
These small samples from different chapters convey an impression of your personal Psychological Horoscope which comprises 18 - 25 pages. It can be ordered as an E-Horoscope or bound booklet in the Astroshop. Please read a complete sample report (of a different person) to get an overview of the extent of the complete horoscope.You may wish to take a look at the range of our reports.

Belphegor Cosplay Guide
January 19, 2010
So I had @ERobynA ask CosplayTutorial for tutorials on how to make a Belphegor cosplay from Hitman Reborn. I couldn't find any so I decided to write up a quick cosplay guide for the character. Please comment with your Belphegor cosplay tips!
Well his crown is pretty basic, I am sure you could find it for under $5. Try checking party stores, dollar stores, and craft stores for kid crowns.
If you would like to make the crown, you could sculpt the shape using sculpty or the lightweight option of paperclay. It may be a good idea to use a toy crown, as mentioned above, as a base and then do the sculpting over it. Other options for making the crown, or it's base, are craft foam, cardboard, or bristol board.
This tutorial is for Anthy's Crown (Utena) but may give you a good idea of going about Belphegor's Crown:
Generally I see Scruffy or Scruffy L from cosworx as a sugguested wig, or the wisp, or fashion 101 from amphigory:
[ scruffy ] [ scruffy L ] [wisp] [fashion 101]
You could also check on ebay for pre-styled wigs.
An easy way to get the jacket would be to check out your local mall or thrift stores and look for something similar. If you are making the jacket, I sugguest looking at your local fabric store for sewing patterns for similar jackets. It is a pretty simple design so it shouldn't be too hard to find one that is similar.
Some patterns I found that were close:
[ Simplicity: 1 ] [ Simplicity: 2 ] [ McCalls: 3 ] [ McCalls: 4 ]
Try the mall or a thrift store since striped shirts are usually popular enough to find around. If you can't find one you could use a black or purple shirt and use tape to section off the areas you don't want color on, then use fabric paint to paint on your stripes. You could also look into iron-on transfers but to get straight lines all across the shirt it really is more trouble then it's worth.
His belt can be bought, but you will probably want to make your own buckle to have it accurate. This tutorial for creating a crest with polymer clay would also work for making his belt: [ crest tutorial ] then you could add velcro to the back and to the belt to have it velcro on, or created a hook that slides over the back of the belt and holds onto the crest overtop of the belt's regular clasp.
I think a good way to make the knives would be to make it out of sculpty and bake it, then paint. Or use another form of clay such as paperclay, model magic, air dry clay … etc.
Another method would be to layer cardboard or craft foam, and do something similar to this kunai tutorial, except in the shape of his knives: [ layered kunai tutorial ]
If you want to create multiple knives that are exactly the same, resin casting might be an option, similar to this kunai casting tutorial: [ kunai casting ]
This cardboard knife tutorial has some pretty nice results: [cardboard knife tutorial]
Also, check out this metal texturing tutorial for tips on painting your knives: [ metal texture tutorial ]

I'm not sure about your question, but I bought some raw brazil nuts the other day. I think they naturally taste earthy, thats how they always taste to me. You can soak them and dehydrate them to reduce toxins, but I'm not sure if this helps mold if there is any present.
I wouldn't worry too much about 1 or 2 a day; especially if you soak them and store them in the fridge.
This blog post has snippets of Info: Brazil Nuts, seeds and aflatoxin « MyRawFoodBlog http://rawfoodist.wordpress.com
