In one of the featurettes debuted to highlight the film's characters, Brad Pitt's Metro Man looks unkempt as he decides to succumb to his inner passion as a musician.
DreamWorks wants the audience to know "Megamind" characters well by releasing several featurettes which highlight Megamind, Tighten, the Minion and Roxanne. It has fresh scenes featuring the said characters and interviews with the voice cast including Will Ferrell, Tina Fey, Jonah Hill and David Cross.
While Ferrell explains how Megamind becomes a super villain before transforming into a good guy, Fey reveals that reporter Roxanne is kind of enjoying entangled in the fights between Megamind and Metro Man. The hero, however, is later giving up his title and one featurette titled "Heroic Turn" has a look at the unkempt Metro Man.
"Megamind" revolves around two extraterrestrials who are sent to Earth while a baby and raised in two completely different environments. After numerous battles between the two, Megamind finally defeats Metro Man who then succumbs to his inner passion as a musician.
It turns out that life without a rival is life without a point for Megamind, so he creates a new superhero rival, Tighten. Unfortunately for him and the world, the new hero wants to be a super villain too. The new villain begins his rampage, and Megamind sets out to stop him, beginning a path to redemption in the process.
Directed by Tom McGrath, the animation also has Brad Pitt providing the voice of Metro Man. This movie will be released in 3-D on November 5.

Maybe I'm overreacting, but my boyfriend calls me at least 3-4 times a day. Then all of a sudden yesterday I got nothing and today he told me he was working, and later I found out he wasn't. When I confronted him, he said he only had to work for a little bit. He had most of the day off and I told him it would be nice to see him, but he said he had things to do. I feel like he's pushing me away cause he hasn't called yet and it's almost 6p.m. What do you think is going on? Am I overreacting?
Why did my boyfriend go from calling 3-4 times a day to nothing?

It was luxe staycation last Weekend in Marco Polo Ortigas with my friends. This place will welcome you with smell of freshness and cleanliness. Upon check-in, key card will be provided for access in the elevator going to rooms.
We occupied their Superior Room at the 41st floor (35-55 sqm). The room has a minimalist earth tone design. It has 2 Queen Size beds, in-room safe, Executive Desk, LCD coloured TV, Nespresso coffee machine, breakfast nook. The bed is super comfy with fluffy pillows & quilt!
Of course, how can I forget. This hotel has impressive bathroom. Its spacious, it has marble bathtub, and rainshower. Robes were provided, and toilettries are provided.
Verdict: 5-star hotel. Yes! Quality service and room. A nice place to relax and unwind. Just a comment to their bathroom: No bidet

Awarded with a five-star rating from Forbes Travel Guide, your stay here would truly be world-class. Even though we had a minor problem, they handled it with such finesse and professionalism that no wonder they got that rating! This staycation was very timely and needed for me. I was actually sick back then and was advised by the doctor to rest. So imagine my excitement when we finally got to the room and saw that majestic white bed. Ughhh…it was just so comfy there. I wanted to snuggle up and cover myself in those comfy white sheets. As for the room, it was really modern and sleek. I liked how the interiors exude this sense of elegance yet making it comfortable.

Pre booked a month early to surprise the wifey's birthday/Valentine's day. On the day itself we noticed more than 3 guests who arrived later than us already had rooms. After patiently waiting for more than an hour I followed up the status. For the second time they mentioned the room was being "cleaned." They even had the nerve to give us twin beds instead of the already promised King Size bed. As the bubble popped, I had to look for a Manager. The lady infront of me never got back to me and had to search for assistance from other colleagues. When a Supervisor saw my frustration and disappointment hehehe then helped me with my concern. I said I was looking for a Manager but he said that she was busy and asked me what was going on. I mentioned that I pre booked a month ago and that we still don't have a room after an hour (and revealed that guests who arrived later than us have rooms). He apologized and upgraded us to a suite but no explanation was made why guests had rooms when in fact we were earlier and had pre booked a month ahead.
The buffet was nothing to brag about either. Most of the meat was tough and the bangus salty. We had to ask certain utensils and my kid was not given a glass for drinks. Such a shame that such a lush exterior and interior and yet their staffs are so inept with their duties. Why give guests (especially first timers) a hard time in checking in and out (the lady let me sign forms one by one. Why not everything at once? Where is the efficiency?. Saddened by this and we have been in various hotels, none of which we had to follow up for something or wait for more than an hour.
Overall, mediocre service and an average breakfast buffet doesn't do justice to the plush designs.

This is really my favorite hotel ATM... I even insisted that my aunt, uncle, and cousins stay here during their visit in Manila... But this review is for our 3-day staycation over the holidays...
Sadly, our schedules could not permit us to avail of the free second night stay promo from Dec 28-30... We only had time right after Christmas... Oh well...
But the hotel was brimming with people when we checked-in... Full to capacity, according to the staff... We felt it whenever we waited for the elevators going to the guest rooms.
Their rooms are so luxurious for me... I love the bed, the TV, the marble bathrooms, and the tub! Yey! You really feel like you have left all the stressors behind!
Their spa, gym, and pool are all on the same floor... Their gym may be small, but they have varied equipment and personal trainers on standby... They also serve blended juice here, if you are in a healthy mood...
They have an indoor pool, which was cold for me... I like their jacuzzi over to one side with hot water-- more my speed! The lounge is equipped with a sauna, clean showers, and lockers for your belongings... Just ask the reception area for the key...
The only thing I don't like is the confusing parking lot, but hey, it's not like you will be staying there for long... Plus, even if their parking lot was full, they still gave us a complementary parking pass at a nearby lot... And apologized for the inconvenience. That's worldclass service! Please take note F1 (you suck forever)...

Stayed here for a couple of nights already and I have to say it's now my favorite hotel in Ortigas (possibly in Metro Manila).
Hotel's fairly new, the interiors are lovely and view is amazing (rooms start at the high floors). Nespresso machine inside each room, TV/Radio pipes in the bathroom, Gym (trainer is available for your use) and Pool areas are good (don't forget to use the sauna and steam room). Breakfast buffet has a lot of choices --- filipino, continental, and even indian stations. Service is excellent!
Valet parking is available but has a 100 service charge every time you ask them to get/park the car.
My default place for Staycation!

The boyfriend and I enjoyed our stay here. Can't find anything negative to say, our room was just perfect. I love how the bathroom was designed to have a glass wall, just beside the bed. Really spacious and comfortable. Can't complain with their food too. Our breakfast buffet was equally satisfying. I love their breads and jams.

They have the fastest free wifi ever! This is one good reason why I gave 5 stars. Not to mention that the room is soooo spacious and the beds are comfortable, plus the fact that it comes with free nespresso coffees which I think is really posh, also the comfort room is really spacious and that they have speaker inside that is connected to the TV that I can still hear the episode of "maalaala mo kaya" while doing number 2 like in glorietta cinemas
Will be back here again? Definitely! 🏻

Dear |looloo, it's been too long. But now that I've found some free time after the wedding (to Regine E... So it should be Regine C now hehe ) here are a few reviews!
For our wedding preparations, we decided to stay at Marco Polo because of its proximity to Christ the King, and because of all the special rates we got with the MPM Dining Privilege Membership.
Their service was excellent. We were coming here as early as January this year to book rooms for July, and they accommodated each of our changes willingly. All our family members were on the same floor, and they even let us have some photoshoots in the public areas.
On the night of the wedding, they gave us a chocolate cake and white wine, and even had some special arrangements on the bed (seen: heart arrangement made of blankets). The rooms were very spacious and felt really luxurious. Marco Polo was really able to make our special day even more special! The food was great too, but more of that in other reviews.
I still have some coupons left, and will probably use them up before the year ends. I'm that happy with Marco Polo, and would happily recommend them to anyone!

I live nearby but I'm sleeping here tonight because I wanna be Fancy like Iggy Azalea. (Cue: I'm so fancy.. You already know..)
Okay seriously though, i'm here because the fam has vouchers because we bought a membership. I was apprehensive about this place before but now I have absolutely no regrets this place is amazing. The facilities are new which is always a plus. The views are spectacular. The rooms, hallway and lobby smell so nice. I wish I could live here.

I'm not gonna lie. I've always thought Marco Polo ortigas is in a strange location. Centrally located but not quite. The driveway alone is a crowded, difficult mess. The area, not walkable at night. Can't conveniently just cross to metrowalk. Walking to other establishments can be tricky if you don't know the area, luckily we do. I live nearby.
But we came for a staycation and I'll give credit where credit is due: the rooms are nice, the view is killer (if you can get an outward view), the service is good and I found their internet to be fast. So the hotel alone, liked! 4stars.

NRG Energy Inc. and Consol Energy Inc. on Monday said they would slash their dividends, the latest energy firms to alter their payout to shareholders amid a continued slump in commodities prices.
Consol said it agreed to sell its Buchanan mine and other coal assets in the Virginias and southwestern Pennsylvania to a private-equity group in a $420 million deal, the proceeds of which would go toward reducing debt. In conjunction with the sale, Consol said it would suspend its quarterly dividend of a penny a share.
NRG, meanwhile, said it would cut its annual dividend to 12 cents a share from 58 cents, a move it said would provide the company with an extra $145 million annually.
Energy companies have been halting or reducing their dividends recently to buoy their cash reserves amid a rout in commodities. Some investors say a dividend cut can help improve a company's overall health.
Energy companies in the S&P 500 cut about $6.2 billion in dividends last year, the highest number of companies in a single sector in the S&P 500 to have reduced their dividend in 2015.

We numerically investigate mid-infrared supercontinuum generation in single mode fluoride fiber pumped by 1.56 μm picosecond fiber lasers. To get high energy conversion efficiency in mid-infrared region, the ratio of power generated in 2.5 ~5 μm range to the total input power for supercontinuum generation is optimized by varying the pulse width, peak power and fiber length. The long wavelength edge of the supercontinuum spectrum can be extended to 4.8 μm in a 100 cm long fluoride fiber pumped by a 1.56 μm fiber laser with a pulse width of 4 ps and a peak power of 100 kW, and the corresponding ratio of power generated in 2.5 ~5 μm range to the total input power is about 44.6%. The spectral broadening is mainly caused by self-phase modulation, stimulated Raman scattering and four-wave mixing. The simulated results show that high average power supercontinuum light source in 2.5 ~5 μm range could be obtained in fluoride fibers pumped by 1.56 μm picosecond fiber lasers.

An open letter to @robertvenditti
I'm reading this final page of "Dark Days," the opening chapter of Lights Out and it's just awe and sadness that fills me. Especially Salaak. That close up of Salaak reads like punctuation and I can't remember the last time I saw Salaak overwrought with emotion. Maybe around the late 80s post GLC #201 in the wake of the Green Lantern Corps having been dismantled and Hal Jordan restarting them on Earth. Much to my chagrin, and no matter how powerful the impact of that moment, I don't rightly recall the artist's name. But it's going to hard to forget Billy Tan's name, the poignancy with which he shapes Salaak's usual stoicism into an expression openly on the verge of tears… that's something worth seeing. Something worth waiting these interminable decades gone.
I know I'm going to take a little heat for that from you on that. I know you'll say to me I'm being unfair, that the creative choice made around visualizing Salaak was made in favor of his stoicism. And that for the past couple of decades, it was a deliberate choice made by Ivan Reis and the slew of other artists over the years. But that's really my point here—is that you and Billy and the entire team are now in a position to enact an entirely different choice matrix. All of you together, individually, can now tell different kinds of Green Lantern stories. And on this issue you and the guys have really come thru for me, and for us all.
I wanted to address that issue of legacy with you for some time now, but how can I really do that? Part of it is timing. You've been working on GL for about a year now, although we've only seen four issues thus far, and only now with the opening salvo of Lights Out do we get a strong sense of the momentum of things happening. This contrasts so strongly and so appositely with that bad-times-looming, brooding skies sensibility of the first three issues you penned. Part of my hesitancy then is not wanting to come across as one of those nostalgia-weaponizing old men on their porches who hanker after the recent past like it's lost to the thermodynamic mists of time (the kind of person we thought we had to turn ourselves into back in the 90s, the kind of person it seemed the industry was ready to turn us into back then).
But it wasn't only my not wanting to fall for the false and cheap lure of nostalgia (and not cheap in the good way), it was something else. Good ideas take time to incubate. And there's no point whatsoever my crying out on the first note. I know your writing style, and I know that brooding, looming, dark-days-ahead was building to something. (And what a something it was, the destruction of Central Power Battery! And to top that, now we realize, it was only the beginning, and there's an entire epic ahead of us still, waiting to be unfurled.) So why would I bring up time gone by, no matter how great those times were?
But I kinda, sorta ought to. As much out of a sense of respect to you and your project (and it's clear you have a project), as to Geoff. Because the thing is, Geoff didn't just turn Green Lantern into a highly marketable property again, didn't just bring Hal Jordan back from the dead again (only to take him right back to being dead at the very end again, and then yank him back into the land of the living again), but because Geoff updated GL as a genre again, and made it relevant and worthy as an exemplar of space opera.
The story of the emotional spectrum, of Hal Jordan wielding all seven emotions (each of the seven colored rings of the seven various corps) was a socioculturally meaningful story as much as it was a geopolitically relevant one given the events since 9/11. And even although we look at Geoff as a new writer, a writer of our era, we can't disregard the clear fact that his decade long work on Green Lantern is historiographically relevant to the character. And we've got to begin to take a measure of Geoff as having made a contribution to the iconography of GL similar in scope to Denny O'Neil when Denny took GL out on the road with Green Arrow and had the pair deal with fractious realpolitik of the 70s. Kinda like having known Elvis all your life, only to hear how big he's made it all across the country. There'd be a deep sense of emotional participation in his success, but maybe also a kind of failure to perceive the full scale of that success.
There's always this pressure on critics who immerse themselves in popculture, and I can't say where it comes from, but there's always this pressure on us to play thunderdome with creators and creative teams and even with high concepts. (As an aside, "Return of the Red Hood" arc 2006/2007-ishly reads like a meta-commentary on exactly this epiphenomenon, especially Judd Winick's sublimely titled closing chapter, "All They Do is Watch Us Kill.") I've resisted this idea, I've resisted this idea for the longest time, now I'm going to flat out denounce it. You know my views on perpetual fiction—that nothing done by any subsequent creator ever deletes work done by earlier creators, even if those earlier creators happen to be giants. The joy of reading comics is the joy of watching each new writer, each new artist bring to bear on the characters and settings that we've grown to love over the years, their own new and equally powerful and equally valid insights. Perpetual fiction, the kind of fiction that comics represents, is very much a liberation from the tortured and oppressive myth of individuated genius. It's very much the promise that there can always be a different kind of magic, a certain kind of novelty.
And with the first chapter of "Lights Out," you've certainly delivered on that promise, Rob. It's a great time to be reading Green Lantern. It's a time of hopefulness (exactly the same kind of hopefulness we see at the end of Chris Nolan's Batman Begins, when Gary Oldman, Salaak-ly, looks to be on the verge of a different kind of tearfulness, one arising from relief, and says "You've changed this"). It's a time of there's-no-going-back, and not knowing where you'll take us. And honestly I haven't been this excited by a GL book since that cover back in 1984 where Hal quits the Corps ("I'm tired of being your whipping boy," he exclaims at, the right preposition in this instance is at, the tribunal of Guardians). I'm rereading this while I write, and I'm looking at what you've achieved with GL #24 and you deal out genre like I shuffle thru playing cards. Over the course of just three pages there's Close Encounters of the Fourth Kind and Star Wars and Battlestar Galactica. And I need to remind myself, I'm at the start of something, and nowhere near the end. And here's you, just four issues in, and already drawing even with Geoff's illustrious impact on the character, but taking us into as much unexpected, as uncharted territory.
Wouldn't it be great if the story ended there? Sadly it doesn't. Because there's your own karma (is that the word? Is it "Tao?" "Magic?") as a writer to consider. Something that seems to keep your work prescient by being just minutes ahead of the headlines. Your 2011 graphic novel Homeland Directive is a singular work. But after what we've seen play out in the news over the next 18 months, Homeland Directive seems more and more something that we ought to see on CNN (and I don't mean the plot, I mean the structure and reach of the intelligence and security services you imagine). Most of us Rob, would have read your opening chapter of Lights Out on the day after the government shutdown which itself came the day after the series finale of Breaking Bad. That kind of tumbledown effect, that's just wild. And more than Close Encounters or Galactica or Star Wars, the story of the last stand of Walter White, and the impact of the suspension of the governing infrastructure of our daily lives now seems to make Lights Out as a kind of commentary on our times. And the more I read GL #24 the more you read like Tolstoi or Dostoevsky or Kafka, a writer who's able to subject the full and frank grandeur of history to a literary examination of the highest quality.
So now I'm thinking, as Sting's chastisingly mordant "Ghost Story" winds to a close over iTunes, given the momentousness of your opening chapter of Lights Out framing our considerations of the series finale of Breaking Bad and the government shutdown, will anybody even notice the sheer scale of impact you've made on Green Lantern? Will anyone even notice that you've invented new genres for GL?
The point is moot, Rob. You're a singular writer, and you've won my trust.

Search for opportunity of work experience in DC (Washington, D.C.)
My name is Bastiaan Fehrman.
I am a graduating student of Commercial Economics at the Hanze University of Applied Sciences in Groningen, the Netherlands. My specialization is marketingcommunication. The fact that I turned 20 last October makes me one of the youngest students in my graduating class.
By the coming July, I will complete the graduating process and receive my Bachelor of Business Administration. My study abroad in Spain, made me realize that the world is really accessible, and that now is the time to get most out of it. I am ready to make the next step, really eager to learn and I plan on doing a Master study.
By gaining a year of work experience, I want to find out what kind of Master I want to do.
As a 20 years old, eager recent business graduate and a future professional I would be a valuable addition to any organization, fulfilling any number of positions that might be required.
I am searching for a suitable job (or paid internship place) in a company in Washington D.C.
The reason that I want to go to DC is because DC is the capital of the United States and it has always been the most interesting city of America in my opinion.
Also, I have an American girlfriend who lives relatively close to DC which gives me an extra reason to live and work as close as possible to her.
I hope that via this forum, I could get some valuable connections to make these plans reality.
Thanks in advance.
Bastiaan Fehrman

Walkthrough: Part Seventeen
Light Aether: Sanctuary Fortress
From the Sanctuary Energy Controller, head back to the Main Gyro Chamber. From Sanctuary Temple go to Temple Access. Use the Dark Visor looking over the Hex door you entered through to reveal a Multi-Lock Blast Shield. Unlocking will reveal a Kinetic Ball Canon. After being shot to the upper floor turn around and equip the Echo Visor. Shoot the sonic emitter and return to the Kinetic Ball Canon to move under the floor and collect a Missile Expansion. Head to Main Gyro chamber. Take both the down elevators and step into the next room. Activate the Echo Visor and switch to the Annihilator Beam. Target the center of the locked door to hear a series of tones. Repeat the tune by hitting the nearest soundwave beacon once, the far one once, and the middle one twice. This will unlock the door, revealing a kinetic ball cannon.
Roll into the cannon to get launched up into the sphere, revealing a Power Bomb Expansion. Once you have it, head through Dynamo Works to the elevator in Central Area Transport East. Head to the Hall of Combat Mastery. Once here, go toward the portal room. Drop a Power Bomb in the glass hallway leading to the portal, shattering the floor. Head through the hex door that you can now access.
Take out the Quad MB and go through the next room to find the Transport to Agon Wastes. Activate the elevator and step on the hologram to go there now.
Light Aether: Agon Wastes
When you back to the Wastes, it's a good idea to save if you haven't recently. Power Bomb the yellow door and roll into the ensuing morph ball hole. When you emerge in the Main Reactor, scan the Luminoth corpse for some Lore. Roll down the spider ball track and go around the corner to find another. Roll. up it and boost across to a moving cylinder. Move around the spider ball track on the cylinder and boost to the next one. Repeat this all the way across (jump right off the last cylinder when it is at the same level as for all the other jumps) until you reach a Missile Expansion under glass. Use a Bomb it to grab the power-up.
Take the eleavator up and follow the path past the dark door and move through to Sand Processing eliminating the turrets (you can proceed to save from here if you haven't already). Use the halfpipe in Sand Processing to boost up to a small tunnel (near the front of the room, where the turrets show up). Roll back and bomb jump into the tunnel then continue to a room with a bomb slot. Scan the Sand Control system to activate it then drop a bomb in the bomb slot and you'll see the sand drain out of the previous room, exposing a Missile Expansion. Go grab that.
Backtrack to the Main Reactor and go through the dark door to get to the Command Center via Security Station B. Use the portal here to head to the Dark world.
Dark Aether: Agon Wastes
In Dark Aether, go to the dark door on the higher platform and head through Oasis Access, Dark Oasis and the Hall of Stairs. Use the save station and continue on to Bitter Well and Phazon Site where you will encounter several Dark Tallon Metroids. Make sure you scan them then use a Light Beam charge shot and then a missile to kill them quickly. When they're out of your way, head to the middle platform and use the Screw Attack to reach the Annihilator door at the side of the room. Go through the door to find the Sonic Boom. Using the Annihilator Beam, press and hold A to charge, then press Y to fire. Head back to the Dark Oasis and use the portal there to go back to the Light.
Light Aether: Agon Wastes
You will appear back in the Main Reactor. Head to the hex door that leads to Sand Processing. Go through here and continue to Bioenergy Production. Here, take down the Dark Tallon Metroids and activate the controls for the moveable platforms at the center of the room. Once they're powered on, head to the other side of the room and drop all three sections of the middle tower to make it possible to get to the other side of the room.
Once you've done that, locate the spider ball track on the North West side of this area. Roll through the ducts, using the spider ball tracks to bridge the gaps. Soon, you'll get to a set of tracks that wrap around some curved platforms. Boost between them until you reach a track leading across the room. Follow it until you can boost to another strip of spider ball track. Finally, boost to the next ledge and grab the Missile Expansion from the next room. Alternatively, set the towers to 1,2, 3 (L->R), jump up the towers to the RH one. Then screw across to the green door behind which is the missile expansion.
Head to the Biostorage Station. Upon arriving, scan the left panel for some Lore. Continue to the main part of the room and scan the Metroid Cocoons and the Infant Tallon Metroids that issue from them. Head through the hex door on the right side of the room and continue through to the Command Center, Command Center Access, Central Mining Station, Central Access and on to Mining Station A.
At Mining Station A, go to the lower portion of the area and turn on your scan visor. You'll see a structurally unsound bit of rock (it will be blue on the scan). Roll over there and plant a Power Bomb to reveal a kinetic ball cannon. It will shoot you up to a spider ball track. Navigate to the left using drops and bomb jumps to get a Missile Expansion. Head to the Mining Plaza.
Use the Echo Visor in thiss area to help you find three soundwave devices to disable. This will cause the three large discs in this area to move, and expose a power-up. Follow the ray of light emanating from the side of the cavern to get to it. Use the Screw Attack to get over there, and you'll score another Energy Tank. When you're done, continue to the Transport to Temple Grounds. The hex door you need is right under your current position. You might find it helpful to use the save station here before leaving.the area.
Light Aether: Temple Grounds
Go through the Industrial Site and Collapsed Tunnel to emerge in the Temple Assembly Site. Take Temple Transport B up to the Great Temple.
Light Aether: Great Temple
Go to the Energy Controller and watch the cut scene with U-Mos. You have restored power to three of the temples, but one remains--The Sky Temple. Before you head there, though, you'll get one last suit, the Light Suit. There is a teleporter now at the center of the Temple, but you can't use it for where you need to go now. Return to Temple Grounds via Transport C.
Light Aether: Temple Grounds
In the Meeting Grounds head to the Hall of Eyes. Go up to the portal and head through to the Dark.
Dark Aether: Sky Temple Grounds
You'll find yourself in Base Access. Drop from the narrow ledge and battle Inglets and follow the path to a green door. Blast it with a Super Missile and continue until you reach a halfpipe. Walk through it until you see what looks like a massive temple. Switch to the dark visor to see the targets and then use a Seeker Missile burst on the door of it to recover a Missile Expansion.
Continue to the hex door tucked into a hidden path. Go through the hex door and change to the morph ball to go to Shrine Access. When you roll out into the room proper, scan the Corrupted Sentreyes that are slicing up the room with their lasers. Use the Seeker Missile on the purple door and head through to Gateway Access, blasting the tentacles that cross your path.
After departing Gateway Access, you'll be in Sky Temple Gateway. There is a ton of stuff to scan here, so spend some time doing that. There are nine keys and one testament here, which adds up to a bunch of Lore. Read the Lore for some hints on what to do next. Head back to Shrine Access and blast the green door there with a super missile.
In Defiled Shrine, kill the Warrior Ing then switch to your Dark Visor and find the Flying Ing Cache. Hit it once, then scan it. Destroy it completely and it will drop one of nine Sky Temple Keys. Once you have it, return to Base Access via War Ritual Grounds and go back through to the Light world.

Recipe by Annisette
In Texas, putting beans in chili is prohibited by state law. This recipe does not use beans. Nor does it use tomato sauce or paste, common ingredients in so called "award-winning" chili recipes. If you're looking for authentic chili, this one's the real McCoy; an authentic recreation of the chili that was served in the days of the trail drives - where chili is said to have originated. Take your sweet time making this chili...nice and slow. Good Texas chili has to have time to ripen.
Top Review by Chef Menel
My father's mom and dad used to own a sandwich shop (burgers and soups) years ago in Greenville, Texas and my father cooked in it. This is the way he always made the "authentic" texas red. I remember watching him soak the dried anchos when I was a kid but never got the actual recipe before he died, however, after tasting this recipe I have no doubt this is the same. Thank you for sharing this amazing recipe!

The Snæfellsnes peninsula in the West of Iceland is almost like a miniature version of the whole country. In addition to its emblematic Snæfellsjökull glacier, you will find white and black sand beaches, bird cliffs, spectacular mountains and volcanic craters, incredibly rich trout lakes and salmon rivers, lush valleys, and unique harbours in charming fishing villages.
The stunning landscapes of the peninsula have captured the imagination of people all over the world ever since Jules Verne wrote the famous science fiction novel "Journey to the Centre of the Earth" in which the amazing Snæfellsjökull glacier is where the journey begins.

Comparison of alphabetical versus categorical display format for medication order entry in a simulated touch screen anesthesia information management system: an experiment in clinician-computer interaction in anesthesia
Anesthesia information management system (AIMS) records should be designed and configured to facilitate the accurate and prompt recording of multiple drugs administered coincidentally or in rapid succession.
We proposed two touch-screen display formats for use with our department's new EPIC touch-screen AIMS. In one format, medication "buttons" were arranged in alphabetical order (i.e. A-C, D-H etc.). In the other, buttons were arranged in categories (Common, Fluids, Cardiovascular, Coagulation etc.). Both formats were modeled on an iPad screen to resemble the AIMS interface. Anesthesia residents, anesthesiologists, and Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (n = 60) were then asked to find and touch the correct buttons for a series of medications whose names were displayed to the side of the entry screen. The number of entries made within 2 minutes was recorded. This was done 3 times for each format, with the 1st format chosen randomly. Data were analyzed from the third trials with each format to minimize differences in learning.
The categorical format had a mean of 5.6 more drugs entered using the categorical method in two minutes than the alphabetical format (95% confidence interval [CI] 4.5 to 6.8, P < 0.0001). The findings were the same regardless of the order of testing (i.e. alphabetical-categorical vs. categorical - alphabetical) and participants' years of clinical experience. Most anesthesia providers made no (0) errors for most trials (N = 96/120 trials, lower 95% limit 73%, P < 0.0001). There was no difference in error rates between the two formats (P = 0.53).
The use of touch-screen user interfaces in healthcare is increasingly common. Arrangement of drugs names in a categorical display format in the medication order-entry touch screen of an AIMS can result in faster data entry compared to an alphabetical arrangement of drugs. Results of this quality improvement project were used in our department's design of our final intraoperative electronic anesthesia record. This testing approach using cognitive and usability engineering methods can be used to objectively design and evaluate many aspects of the clinician-computer interaction in electronic health records.
An Anesthesia Information Management System (AIMS) has two components: (1) automatically validated data from the anesthesia machine and the physiological monitor and (2) the data manually entered by the anesthesia provider including events, medications, information on airway management, etc. Anesthesia residents, anesthesiologists, and Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (anesthesia providers) using AIMS need to record the manual data while simultaneously engaged in other more vital tasks. One example involves medications: an anesthesia provider may make dozens of drug-dose entries within a few hours. Typically, no pharmacist or nurse is involved in medication delivery. The anesthesia provider decides on the drug, draws it up, and administers it, often within seconds or minutes. The rate of required drug data-entry is not uniform over time. Many more entries are required during the relatively short period of induction and other critical phases than during maintenance. A well-designed AIMS should facilitate the accurate and rapid recording of multiple drugs.
Our hospital made the decision to implement EPIC's AIMS (Epic Systems, Verona, WI). This system allows the user to configure many of its components - including drug entry formats. During our development period, we performed a systematic search for experimental and observational studies of the impact of display format on the rate of entry of medications (and on errors) and found none for any specialty.a We therefore undertook a study to determine which of two basic entry formats was better for fast and accurate data entry. We evaluated how design variation (alphabetical versus categorical) and user variation (users with different levels of clinical experience) affects the task and the occurrence of errors.
This project was performed as a quality improvement project. No records were maintained of the names of any participants. Results were used for the design of our final AIMS order entry screen. The University of Iowa Institutional Review Board reviewed our application for publication of the results and concluded "this is not human subjects research."
Two touch-screen display formats were programmed on an iPad (Apple Inc., Cupertino, CA) to resemble the proposed AIMS medication order entry touch screens. The iPad program was Web-based, utilizing ASP.net, jQuery and SQL Server. Each time a participant selected a drug, the server recorded the result of that selection. Each trial lasted 2 minutes. The number of entries completed within the 2 minutes was recorded, along with any entry errors.
The two formats were alphabetical and categorical. For the first, the entry screen was constructed with "tabs" across the top labeled A-C, D-H, I-O and P-Z. Under each tab, individual medication "buttons" were listed in alphabetical order (e.g. acetaminophen, albuterol, alfentanil, atropine etc.). There were roughly 25–30 medications under each alphabetical tab. For categorical format, the entry screen was constructed with tabs across the top for Common Drugs, Fluids and Electrolytes, Cardiovascular, Coagulation, Regional Anesthetic, Antibiotics and Other Drugs. Under each category, drugs were grouped by category (e.g. all neuromuscular blocking drugs together, all opioids together etc.) Drugs listed under Common Drugs were chosen based on an extensive review of anesthetic records, and represented the 29 medications used most commonly in our operating rooms. Colors were used to label medications to match American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards as much as possible. Screen shots of example screens for both formats are shown in Figures

There were 132 medications included in each of the study formats.
The study was conducted in the operating room environment but not during periods of patient care. Three groups of participants were chosen, based on their years of clinical anesthesia experience: anesthesia residents and student registered nurse anesthetists (SRNA) with <1 year of clinical anesthesia experience; anesthesia residents, fellows, and SRNA with 1 to 3 years of anesthesia experience; and anesthesiologists and Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists, all with ≥ 4 years of experience. The convenience samples were N = 20 participants per group, selected by the first author. Everyone invited to participate chose to do so. Each participant participated in the study individually, not in groups.
Testing protocol
Participants were handed the iPad, which displayed a brief introduction of the study and confirmed their willingness to participate in the study. Each participant entered his or her years of clinical experience. Successive participants in each group were assigned in alternating order to an initial format, either alphabetical or categorical. Next, the participants underwent a training exercise to familiarize them with the system. The participants were presented with the names of countries, grouped either alphabetically or categorically by continent based on the initial assignment. The participant was prompted with the name of a country in the lower right corner of the screen and was then required to locate that country under one of the tabs, and tap the button for that country. If correct, the country moved automatically to the left side of the screen in a vertical list. A different country name then replaced the current country in the lower right portion of the screen. The demonstration ended when the participant successfully tapped four countries.
At the end of this training period, the participant tapped the Start Trial button. Based on the assignment either the alphabetical or categorical format appeared. The name of a drug appeared on the lower right corner of the screen and the participant was required to find that drug under the various tabs and touch the correct button to complete its entry. When the correct drug was selected, a new drug name would appear on the screen. Participants had 2 minutes to find and enter as many drugs as possible from a list of 25 drugs that were displayed in an order (Table
The drugs were displayed in the same sequence for corresponding trials between the different formats (i.e. the sequence of drugs was the same for Trial 4 as it was for Trial 1). The total time for each participant was approximately 20 minutes.
To avoid any problems with a "learning curve," only the number of drugs entered on the third trial with each format was used in our primary analysis. Numbers of drugs entered in each 2 minute period were compared pairwise by participant using two-sided one-group Student's t tests. The pairwise differences were reported as mean ± standard deviation. Analyses were repeated after stratifying by the initial format viewed, alphabetical or categorical. Those differences were consistent with normal distributions (Shapiro-Wilk P > 0.05).
Statistical analyses of the numbers of medications entered incorrectly were performed using two-group permutation tests. This test is like the Wilcoxon signed-ranks test, but includes the 0's. The zeros mattered because most participants had no errors for most trials. Confidence intervals for median differences were calculated using the Hodges-Lehman method. All results were calculated using exact methods (StatXact-9, Cytel Software Corporation, Cambridge, MA).
Providers using the categorical format had a mean of 32.5 drugs entered in two minutes in the third trial compared to 26.8 drugs in the alphabetical format. The mean pairwise difference was 5.6 ± 4.4 more drugs entered using categorical than alphabetical format (95% confidence interval 4.5 to 6.8, P < 0.0001). The order of testing did not alter this result. Individuals tested first with the alphabetical format averaged 6.0 ± 4.8 more drugs entered by category (95% CI 4.2 to 7.7, P < 0.0001) while those tested first with the categorical format averaged 5.3 ± 4.0 more drugs entered via the categorical format (95% CI 3.8 to 6.8, p < 0.0001). A similar pattern was observed when providers were analyzed by years of experience.
Since categories rely on learning, a learning effect was expected and observed. For the first trial, alphabetical was similar to categorical, providing 0.9 ± 5.5 more drugs entered than categorical (95% CI −0.6 to 2.3, P = 0.23). By the third trial, the categorical format resulted in 5.6 ± 4.4 more drugs entered in two minutes (Figure

The x-axis shows the trial number and the y-axis shows the number of drugs entered in each trial. Only the number of drugs entered in Trial 3 was used in the primary analysis to avoid any problems with "learning curve". The magnitude of the learning curve was estimated by taking for each participant the average of two pairs of numbers of drugs entered: (Trial 3 categorical – Trial 1 categorical) and (Trial 3 alphabetical – Trial 1 alphabetical). The mean ± standard deviation among participants of the average differences were 8.1 ± 3.4 drugs entered (P < 0.0001 in comparison to 0; N = 60).
Most anesthesia providers made no (0) errors for most trials (N = 96/120 trials, lower 95% limit 73%, P < 0.0001). There was no difference in error rates between alphabetical and categorical templates at both the first (P = 0.54) and third trials (P = 0.53). The corresponding 95% confidence intervals for the median differences were 0 to 0 and 0 to 1 (categorical less), respectively.
The designing and layout of the user interface of an electronic medical record can influence task load, time to task completion, and number of errors of cognition associated with the identification, and subsequent use, of relevant patient data by the clinical provider
Cognitive demands introduced by the system on physicians who are already engaged in many other vital tasks contribute to decrease in efficiency
Human–computer interaction has been an important part of cognitive science for decades
Our experimental study had multiple limitations. First, this project was performed as a quality improvement project, using a convenience sample of available clinicians, with no formal power analysis performed until there were N = 60 participants at which time the project was stopped based on the findings. Second, the 22 medications studied are those commonly used in our department (Table
Arrangement of data entry elements in a logical fashion is an important feature of design of electronic medical records. Our results show that the arrangement of drugs in a categorical format in the medication order-entry screen of an AIMS can result in faster data entry compared to an alphabetical arrangement of drugs. Results of this quality improvement project were used in our department's design of our final intraoperative electronic anesthesia record (Figure

Is there a way to remove the add button from the configurable list widget?Asked by theadnanc on August 07, 2015 at 10:59 AM
Is there a way to remove the add button from the list? I do not want them to be able to dynamically add the number of entries
This is a re-post of a comment on How to Set Up the Configurable List Widget
To my understanding you mean that you want to remove the "add button" from your configurable list widget if that is correct?
I believe it should be possible to hide it. However, I we wouldn't recommend it since it's not ideal for the purpose of the field because then you would not be able to add additional rows if more is needed to be added to the list since hiding it would disable that ability.
May I ask what the reason is that would make you want to remove it?
I am web merging some forms into a PDF document, and the PDF documents are different based on the number of children the people post. I have a question "how many children do you have" that automatically populates the form with the amount of children info boxes and in turn sends the information to the appropriate PDF based on their answer. I want to use this because it's neater, but if they can change the amount of rows it doesn't leave me the control to send the form. I'm not sure how else to route the info.
sorry, it's a tough thing to explain
JotForm Support
Set the maximal row to the same value in the minimal row and that should do it.

Remember when Donald Trump hinted that he wouldn't accept the results of the election unless he won, to which Hillary Clinton replied that his statements were "frightening" and a "threat to Democracy"?
Yeah, that was hilarious. In an ironic twist, it's now her joining efforts for an election recount. It all began when Green Party candidate Jill Stein raised millions for a recount effort, which would only aim for a recount in key swing States that Hillary lost (and ZERO States that Trump won, of course). The Clinton campaign decided to get on board, even though various members of the Clinton campaign acknowledge that there's no evidence of interference in the election whatsoever.
Personally, I think the whole recount is just to line the pockets of Stein and the Green Party, as Stein publicly attacked Hillary after her campaign announced it was on board with the recount. It's a truly bizarre chain of events that I can't explain any other way.
Meanwhile, Trump's campaign is turning up the heat on Hillary, blasting her for daring to challenge the results of an election they were once attacked for daring to question. As Yes Im Right reported:
However, when this news broke, KellyAnne Conway, Donald Trump's campaign manager made it clear that the Trump Presidency isn't scared of some crooked recount, and she shut down the Trump haters in epic form.
"What a pack of sore losers," Conway said. "After asking Mr. Trump and his team a million times on the trail, 'Will HE accept the election results?' it turns out Team Hillary and their new BFF Jill Stein can't accept reality."
The only inaccuracy in that statement may be the "BFF" claim, as previously mentioned, Stein made it clear Saturday that she wasn't happy with the Clinton campaign joining her attention-seeking efforts.
How will this all end? I believe we all member that Trump promised we'd win so much that we'd be tired of winning. Considering the 99.99% chance this recount has no effect on the election, Trump will have already won twice when its over! I suppose that counts as fulfilling a campaign promise.

How healthy is your working environment?
Last week on this blog I lamented the lessening lengths of our lunch breaks, after an article from the BBC magazine suggested that hour-long breaks should become mandatory. This week, yet more worrying work-based woes have been uncovered, with new research confirming that work-based stress can place a significant strain on the heart, risking heart attacks and even death.
The general response to this research was perhaps best summed up with a tweet this afternoon from Dr Christian Jessen, best known for being the face of Channel 4's Embarrassing Bodies:
It's true that most people will be all too aware that a high-stress job is not good for the heart, and the less-than-surprised reactions to the Lancet's new report are understandable. However, is this resignation to the inevitability of illness caused by work-related stress a good thing? Surely research that demonstrates the damage that can be done by work-related stress should be met with concern, not flippancy. The fact that we've heard these warnings before does not mean they should be so easily dismissed.
Seeing this news story this morning and then following the less than impressed reaction on sites like Twitter made me think of last week's lunch break debate, and how those defending the five-minute-sandwich in lieu of a proper break did so. The justification was in its simplest terms the fact that work is important; far more important than the health benefits of an hour's worth of fresh air and relaxation.
This kind of nonchalant attitude towards the relationship between our work and our health is demonstrated even more clearly in the muted response to the Lancet's report. Why aren't people surprised or concerned? Surely a piece of news showing the dangers of stress in the workplace should elicit discussions about how to reduce stress in the workplace and improve the working environment. Instead, this valuable research is dismissed as stating the obvious. Something so obvious, it does not even need to be addressed.
In their reporting of this new report, which comprised an analysis of 13 studies already undertaken in Europe on almost 200,000 people in total, BBC news quoted Dr Bo Netterstrom, from Bispebjerg Hospital in Denmark. Speaking about job strain, Dr Netterstrom said that this was "a measure of only part of a psychosocially damaging work environment".
Why do we think it is acceptable to be working in environments that are "psychosocially damaging"? The work-life balance should be just that – a balance. This means that it should be complete with adequate lunch breaks, a manageable workload and regular holidays. But is this just a pipe dream?
Be sure to let us know what you think of this new research or the feasibility of a healthy work-life balance in the comments.

A contractor is going to be modifying the forms on our account but I do not want them to have access to the dayAsked by connectpoint on August 23, 2016 at 04:41 PM
We have a contractor that is going to be modifying the forms on a regular basis, I do not want them to have access to the form data.
3 things that might help..
1 - They have their own jotform account, can I just give them access to the form but not the data??
2 - I can upgrade the account and create them a user and share the form but not the data... This might be the same exact thing as option 2
3 - We are going to be setting it up so all of the form data gets posted to an outside MySql database. Is there an option to delete the data once it gets posted?? or a time frame? or not even stay in the account?? This should be the last resort in case we ever have a problem with our DB it would be nice to know the data is somewhere
Or if you have a better solution to accomplish the same thing
Thank you

Hello connectpoint,
You can restrict your sub-users to just view submissions, just edit the form, or do both.
To do this, simply go to My Account > Users or visit this for the quick link https://www.jotform.com/myaccount/users and then tick the checkbox to what you want your sub-user can do
You can also learn more regarding sub users from this guide: https://www.jotform.com/help/232-How-to-share-forms-with-a-sub-account-user
There is no need to upgrade unless you want to have more sub users on your account. A free account is allowed to have one sub user, but if you need more than one, you will need to upgrade your account. You can refer to this pricing page for more information: https://www.jotform.com/pricing
You can also make use of the auto-delete app which is readily available in JotForm apps. It's likewise free to use. You can get this app from this link: https://apps.jotform.com/app/auto_delete_submissions. But please take note that once the submission gets deleted, it cannot be retrieved. So you can probably just set the limit to prevent your sub users from being able to view the submissions page.
Let me know if you have further questions.
