Dielman had a concussion last week during the Chargers' game against the New York Jets, but he went back into the game and continued playing.
After the game, Dielman had a grand mal seizure as the team's flight home was landing.
Dielman brushed the seizure off as nothing, but witnesses on the plane told Sign On San Diego it was "violent," and "scary," and Dielman stayed overnight in the hospital.
Dielman will sit out for at least two weeks as he awaits the results of a neurological exam.

Universities to position themselves for success, quality education in drafting, rules and regulations, safety requirements and standard practices of interior design is a key element. Reference and Education: College-University Reference and Education: College-University EIILM University worked effectively to achieve benchmarks that will only a pioneer in the field of higher education in India. Education in design requires dedication and hard work. India competition for places in colleges and higher education institutions and is fierce, especially if they want to go in any field of design related.
Students particularly appreciate modules that focus on the understanding of the design to the study of painting, design, sculpture, architecture and photography, with an emphasis on contemporary forms and cultural diversity found. On the basis of academic measures, location and relevant non-academic factors, and after digging much information on official websites, forums, students, and inside design tips discussion societies, are some of the best schools of interior design excellence worldwide. Many students end up choosing a career for themselves badly because of bad coaching given to them. The university also works in the field of education, particularly in the modern requirements and the opportunity governmental industry and the aspirations of students. NIFT stands for National Institute of Fashion Technology and new students will need to pass the test of NIFT gain admission to their chosen course. Students seeking to prepare marketing strategies could find their fashion and retail management program extremely attractive.
After completing the course in computer science or application of best IT institute / college students may apply in IT companies, computer companies, institutes, private training institutes computer computer, schools, colleges, etc. The best interior design school you will have a reputation and history of academics in quality. The School of Art at the University of Arizona, as one of the best schools in America, led scores of similar institutions who teach the subject in its many forms. If you are interested in having a career in the fashion industry, there are many top fashion schools that can meet your expectations. The best schools offer a Bachelor and a Master program. After the success of the 12th, a student can pursue Bachelor of Design (B.Des) from a recognized school of design.
While many young people are attracted to careers in the "glamorous" world of design It is a very competitive field and like any creative activity can be difficult to stand in. It is important to be consistent with the contracts most professional designers for a career change. Location location, either positively or negatively, is another key factor that into account when you make the decision on where you want to make the most of your career in interior design. Career opportunities that are available in the fashion design are the design, gemology, interior design, jewelery design, interior design, visual merchandising, graphic design, product design, web and game design. Whether you are aiming for a career in fashion design, fashion merchandising or apparel manufacturing, a well documented list of top fashion schools will be a springboard to your career choice in this company. EIILM University main aims to provide students not only with the academic inputs but also with diversified skills, knowledge and attitude to provide a doorway to rewarding careers.
Way Founded in 1916, they get a high score on both academic and location, and offer undergraduate programs in fine arts, applied sciences and basic interior. Throughout the United States there are 14 art institutions that are included in the category of fashion schools, above, where you can learn all about the strategies of fashion design, marketing and merchandising methods. The course allows students to build the foundation for learning art and design. Native American Art is often the subject of many courses. Here are some examples: Art Center College of Design in Pasadena CA and CCS in Detroit. In addition, I have a plan to start a small graphic design school for kids who are eagerly learning the art and build their career in this field.
The University offers courses in various types of studies to give students the opportunity to apply their skills intelligence, creativity and leadership challenges of the technology-driven world. With programs both on the Web and on campus and one of the top fashion schools, the Academy of Art University in San Francisco provides a major mode with instructors who are actually working in their field, as thus able to link real life experiences as they apply to the courts. Passing this test is required for admission in one of the undergraduate architecture in India. I know that of course is studied industrial design as diploma (3 years), but is it possible with a design of transport (3 years), whether it would be a great help if you can give me links website for a list of schools that offer links to the site and design schools that offer industrial design. All these institutions offer courses to the artistic enrichment of aspiring artists and hobbyists learners through workshops and courses. The length of time for undergraduate courses is at least 4 years (8 semesters).
There are a number of four levels available: Fiber Science (MS and PhD) and also Apparel Design (Masters and PhD) . Aspirants for the field of design must have a sense of design and quality assessment. There is another aptitude test which covers the broader skills, called CEED. In a word, the interior design is a profession that deep revolves around three main phases of the cycle: planning, design and implementation. With the encouragement of my mentor, I attended several graphics competitions, including the design of an international competition, where my design was chosen for the second prize. His focus remains on the various aspects of art and design, and therefore the courses offered include a wide range of fields of design, advertising and graphics, interiors and culinary arts, web design, animation, video and multimedia.

I swear. This whole "deadline" thing is hard. I guess that's why so many people marvel at the people who make them because making a deadline is a rare talent that is so difficult to master.
But I'm sure that I can talk about that in a later post. Fear is what I really want to talk about in this post because I feel like it is the greatest antagonist to anyone trying to follow their dream (I know that it is for me.)
Whether it is the fear of failure, rejection, or insecurity, fear has been my greatest enemy in the past month, and it is certainly my biggest concern for my future. I think that fear arises because in the freelance/filmmaking world. There are countless, unanswerable questions, and their is no one path to success. If someone wanted to be a doctor, there is an understood path that you have to take (pre-med, med school, internship, residency, ext.), but with filmmaking, there are numerous ways to get into the industry. Of course, none of this paths even guarantee if you will be able to make your monthly car payment, and this is what keeps me up at night.
Unfortunately, this is why I believe that the majority of people fail to pursue after their dreams. People desire and need comfort and security to live happy, worry-free lives, and how are you suppose to be happy and worry-free when you are constantly concerned about money?
When I worked at the restaurant a few months back, I saw middle-aged people waiting tables because it paid their bills. Does anyone really have dreams of being a waiter? I honestly don't think so, but the comfort and stability of the job keeps them relatively happy and serving food. Then the servers stays their for months, years, and sometimes, even decades wondering why they are still there.
This is why I had to move on. Complacency is the murderer of hopes and dreams. I'm sure someone wiser than me put it into better terms, but I think that it still rings true. You cannot chase after your dreams by walking. You must sprint full speed like a cheetah attacking a gazelle!
The week that I decided to move away from the restaurant to doing freelance work. I had offers come to me almost every week because people who needed help knew that I was available, and once I got on set, my work ethic and kindness spoke for itself. Now, I have fairly consistent jobs every week, and I have plenty of time for more personal projects as well.
Although I have been fortunate enough to be have work, I still live with fear, but I have learned that fear is only life telling you that you are doing something worth while, that you are doing something worth being told. So, I respect my fear instead of letting it petrify me, and in a way, I also feel like to motivates me as well. Fear drives me to keep doing my best and pushes me to make my best even better, so that I can get more jobs and ultimately achieve my dream of directing and writing. Honestly though, it also helps to make that car payment every month too!
So, do not let uncertainty and fear take away your dream and passion. I feel like FDR's famous quote is very appropriate here. "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." Keep pushing on!
A few weeks ago, my friends and I were bored, and we decided to enter campus movie fest.
It was a hectic but enjoyable experience since we only had a week to make the film, and unfortunately, we didn't win best comedy. But, we were in our school's (Georgia Gwinnet College) top 16 films, and we were nominated for best comedy.
I hope it makes you laugh as much as we laughed at ourselves, and be sure to listen for strange noises. It may require multiple views to catch it.
Alright, so maybe this whole "deadline" things is hard to get use to at first, but I'm sure that I'll get a hang of it one of these days.
As for an update on week 4 of my freelance independence, there is not to much to tell. It has been a constant struggle to find new, payingjobs, and juggling all of the jobs that I currently have is a struggle as well. For instance, I'm trying to help an organization edit a short video, but it's unpaid. So if anything that comes up that is paid or offers more experience/connections, I have to put it to the side and try to make my payments for the month. Unfortunately, that leaves the video untouched for a while, and the client starts to asks questions. So, I'm still trying to figure out how to set my priorities straight and to keep myself from over-working.
One thing that I have found really helpful though is to constantly keep a calendar and to-do list up to date, and once everything is in sync, make reminders that pester you until it's done! The pestering is the most important part, even though it comes down to you to get the tasks done. It really helps to motivate you to get it out of your way just to stop the annoying pop-ups and notifications.
But even with a balanced schedule and steady to-do list, the one thing that I have unfortunately discovered working as a freelance videographer is the consistency of getting work. I know that I've mentioned this before in another post, but I feel like I have to emphasize it because it is my greatest fear (which I feel like I will dive deeper into Monday). I have only been doing this for a month, and the only paid work that I've gotten was from doing a production assistant job. Although I have clients that are interested in me, it is another story trying to get a paid job from them. Everyone wants something done for free and expect great results, but that isn't how you pay bills or take care of a family. So, I've found that there is a balance between working for free and getting paid.
To initially get a client interested, offer your service for free (or ideally, a lower "sales" price) then once they love what've you done for them, they will want more (ideally). Then you will be able to ask full price. Also, if you go to a business that has a stable client base (such as a hair salon, cupcake place, ext.), offer a free promotional video in exchange for leaving business cards and promoting your freelance business. You could always leave your card anywhere, but the business is less likely to care and help you actually get clients.
Of course, this is only my theory. It hasn't worked for me yet, but it is still the strategy that I'm using for now. I hope that it will work out, but only time will tell.
Regardless, I hope that my journey helps you with yours, and if it does, please let me know! I would really like to hear about it.
All Together Now: Using Adobe Premiere Pro with SpeedGrade and Audition in CS6 from DVi Crew on Vimeo.
This Adobe CS6 tutorial shows the round-trip process of taking a video clip through Adobe SpeedGrade that was deliberately shot at the wrong color temperature (i.e., a camera's white balance was set to daylight instead of tungsten), because color temperature is something that Premiere Pro's built in color correctors don't explicitly have, but SpeedGrade does. Rounding out the workshop is a demo of a simple audio noise clean-up with Adobe Audition.
Well, I seemed to have missed an update, but it was for a good reason. I promise, so I did not miss it in vain or laziness. From the last update, I have learned some useful knowledge about freelance work.
Last week, I had the opportunity to work as grip/boom operator on a short film and promotional video and a production assistant on a reality tv show called "Tiny Tonight" that was filming in Atlanta. I was surprised to see how quickly worked seemed to appeared, but I was grateful to work on anything since I quit my waiting job.
Although I helped out on the short film and the promotional video for free (which I will surely post once both of the projects are complete and online), I truly enjoyed being on set after a long period of time being away from film at the restaurant, even despite the long hours and countless takes of footage. I have worked as a grip and boom operator on numerous films and videos before, so there really was no learning curve on set.
Immediately after working on the short film and promotional video, I was contacted by a friend of mine who I had worked with on the short film set, and she told me a reality tv show that was being filmed in Atlanta called "Tiny Tonight". I was hesitant to accept at first. But, it was a paid gig, so I immediately jumped on the phone and made a call to take it. I have not had a paid job since I quit my waiting job, so beggars can't be choosers.
So, working for free doesn't necessarily mean you are working for nothing. You are paid in experience and connections! Just be sure to work hard, ask questions, and to be friendly. You will be surprised by how far that can take you.
As I soon found out, working as a production assistant on a reality tv show is incredibly different from working as a production assistant on a narrative film. On reality tv, PA's are mainly needed to drive crew and cast members to set, make sure that everyone on set is hydrated and comfortable (which can be normal for narrative films), and running errands such as lunch or getting five hour energies. Whereas in narrative film, PA's are mainly on set to be an extra pair of hands moving things around and helping to set up different scenes (unless you are an office PA). So while I was on "Tiny Tonight", I was a runner. The position really comes down to me mostly running errands and picking up lunch and dinner, and I was hardly around when the crew was filming. Even though I had to use my own car the majority of the time, I was compensated for the miles that I drove, and driving around everywhere helped to make the long day seem a little bit shorter.
Although being a PA on any set isn't ideal or where you would like to be, it truly helps to understand how sets are run, and you will be able to learn from other people's mistakes and successes.
I feel like I've gone onto a tangent, so here is the main point of my update.
Doing freelance work is living in periods of feasts and famines. There have been weeks where I didn't have any jobs, and I had to work every day and take every opportunity to find one. Then once you have a few jobs, I could have a few weeks worth of work and money coming in, but you have to prepare for the famine even though you get to enjoy the feast. You never know how long the feast will last, or how long you will have to starve. So, always take any opportunity that you can get! Even if you have to make it yourself.

Great Products, Terrible Investments

One trap which investors sometimes fall into is buying the stock of a company because they like the company's product.

The headlines are putting stocks into a mini-spin, although stocks will have to fall a long way for bears to claim any real victory. In this environment, it's all too easy to focus on the rally's big winners and watch profit takers nickle-and-dime such stocks lower. Better is to go looking for value in stocks which have avoided attention, but may be falling in sympathy with what's more »

Ignore This Company's Upcoming Results, It's Destined for Greatness Anyway
By Harsh Chauhan - April 19, 2013 | Tickers: CREE, GE, PHG |
I had expected light-emitting diode (LED) maker Cree (NASDAQ: CREE) to light up in 2013, but the stock's performance is worthy of even better adjectives. Cree has been on a trailblazing run, appreciating more than 60% so far this year as of this writing. It has successfully defied gravity and left analysts, who had remarked last year that Cree was priced for perfection, in awe.

The lighting industry has been changing in the United States. Due to government mandates, certain light bulbs can no longer be sold. These filament bulbs are being replaced by alternative light bulbs such as light-emitting diodes (LED). As the lighting industry continues to change, there are a few companies you can look at to capitalize on the changing industry.

Manatee receives $2.4 million for energy efficiencies
Date: November 3, 2009
by: The Observer Staff
The Manatee Board of County Commissioners today accepted $2.4 million in federal stimulus funds as part of the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant program.
The grant is projected to retain three Manatee County government jobs and could retain or create up to 64 jobs in the private sector over the next six months. The grant is part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act's Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant Program which will funnel up to $454 million into Florida for state, local and tribal governments to increase energy efficiencies in facilities and other areas.
"This grant will help lower energy costs and it fits well with Manatee County Government's overall goals of becoming a greener organization," said Brenda Rogers, director of Manatee County Department of Agriculture and Resource Conservation and the leader of Manatee County's Green Team.
Breakdown of the projects
· $1.5 million to remove of two aged 120-ton chillers and connection to cooling towers in the Historic Court House with high-efficiency centrifugal chillers in the Judicial Center. This is estimated to save 240,000 kilowatt hours per year, saving Manatee County an estimated $138,000 per year in energy, labor and maintenance costs.
· $580,436 to replace 1,178 roadway light fixtures with high-efficiency LED lighting, resulting in a savings of 501,875 kilowatt hours per year;
· $119,764 to replace inefficient lighting at Manatee County Detention Center. The improvements will reduce kilowatt hours consumed and electrical costs.
· $124,000 to install solar lights around two parking lots of G.T. Bray Park. The new lights will be installed at C.V. Walton Racquet Center and at little league ball fields.
· $60,000 will go toward Workforce Development programs that support energy efficiency and weatherization in buildings and education for homeowners. The programs will be offered through the University of Florida's Extension Service, a division of Manatee County Department of Agriculture and Resource Conservation.
· $20,000 will be applied over the next two years toward specialized training programs for Manatee County Building Department staff to obtain Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certifications for plans review.
The Green Team's goals range from planting one million trees over the next five years to becoming a certified Green Government through the Florida Green Building Coalition. Rogers said the grant application was a concerted Green Team effort with contributions from all County department representatives.
For more information, call Manatee County Grants Coordinator Maggie Marr at (941) 745-3735. To learn more about going green at home or in the office, call (941) 722-4524 or visit online at http://manatee.ifas.ufl.edu/

I had the sheer pleasure of catching my Alma Mater, Cal vs Utah in the Battle of the Bands in my town of San Diego in preparation for their Holiday football game: the "Poinsettia Bowl." Each band started out at opposite sides of San Diego's popular down town strip called the "Gaslamp Quarter" and marched and played as they came closer and closer to each other. When the two bands met, they each battled it out, taking turns with the best music and moves they each had. At the end of course, I say Cal rocked the jingle bells off Utah!! Go Bears!
A few weeks ago Amanda Lepore put on a performance at Sydney nightclub Nevermind. Amanda is NYC most famous Transgender nightclub hostess.. Being the partygoer I am this had to be checked out! She has been the advertising face for Heatherette, M.A.C. (cosmetics), Mego Jeans, Swatch, CAMP Cosmetics to name a few. Also has some funky beats to jump around to… Apparently the amount of work she's had done could amount to buying 10 houses in NYC whoa!!!
I was lucky enough to be invited to a Valentino party earlier this week at The Boom Boom Room in The Standard Hotel, NYC. I love any excuse to dress up and it was a great night to see friends and catch up in the new hotel space and see the amazing skyline of NYC
All the freaks came out on Friday & Saturday in NYC for Halloween. Karaoke mayhem, costume madness and good times. I think the photos say it all…

For Halloween, I was Queen for the night as Queen Elizabeth the I! I have to say that my favorite costume of the evening was a partygoer dressed as Ali G, from Da Ali G Show. Doesn't he look just like Sacha Baron Cohen? I hope everyone had a fun and festive evening!
hmm halloween, this was one of the best yet! (even though its an American tradition and I still don't sleep at night thanks to Witches from Eastwick).. 101 parties later I finished up at a Spanish nightclub called La Campagna, best music in a long time, 90's pop amazing… dressed as puss in boots from shrek! I think the night is called Good God if anyones looking to suss it out

Personalized Heart Shaped Unity Sand Ceremony Set Style 8534 25 25
Fabulous Product I was so excited when I pulled this set out of the box. The personalization was beautiful and the quality of the product is outstanding. I am so excited to use this kit in my June wedding! :) January 8, 2012
Exactly what I was hoping for... Our unity set arrived yesterday, and it was exactly as I expected. The glass is a good quality, the engraving was nicely done and it will look great on our mantle after we fill it with sand on our wedding day. The glass does have little bubbles and imperfections, which I like, but some people may not appreciate. Also, the legs on the stand needed a little adjusting to get it to sit just right and balance the "heart". Overall though, very happy with my purchase. December 9, 2011
I love this!! i love this set the whole thing is so beautiful...wish that the engraving was a little darker, but i love it and cant wait til my wedding to use it!!!!!! :) November 30, 2011
Best Purchase Ever We used this for our ceremony instead of candles and everyone loved the idea. Our colors were red, black and white and it turned out perfect. We now have it on a shelf so everyone can see it when they walk in our house. And like the other reviews stated, the lid is glass so it just sits on top and doesn't snap or anything.

The Waiting Time Could be so More Useful14 Reviews
Frank and Penina wait in their room, and somehow it leads to a lot of fun.
When we got back, Emily just told the little ones off a little bit, and said that we should know better than to run off like that. She then sent them to our room. Our punishment was a little bit more severe, and we still don't know what it is.
'I have had enough of you guys. You can't teach these kids that it's okay. Danny and I will discuss a suitable punishment for you, but until then, I want you each in your own rooms. We'll call you back down in an hour.' Emily told us. We were all a little scared to be honest. We don't want to leave this place because of all the people we've met and connections we've made, but we didn't want to make her anymore angry. Besides, Danny shot us an apologetic look, and it seemed as if he was going to sort things out for us. I cuddled Penina on my bed.
'I'm sorry I got you guys in trouble.' She said. I hugged her even tighter.
'Sweetie, it wasn't your fault. Besides, it's the most fun any of us has ever had. We all love you for that.' He said kissing my cheek. She smiled at me excitedly.
'How much time do we have until we have to go down?' She asked.
'I don't know. About 55 minutes?' I said.
'Perfect.' She told me. She began kissing me, and I knew exactly what she wanted, and I was more than willing to give it to her. 55 minutes. We only had 55 minutes.
'Let's do this.' I murmured, and Penina grinned in her adorable way. She tore off her t-shirt and stepped out of her jeans as I literally ripped off my jacket and sweater. Penina ran to the door and locked it as I turned off the lights.
'Whoa! I can't fucking see anything, Frankie!' She hissed. I walked over and put my hands around her waist and pulled her towards me.
'Shush, it's more fun this way!' I whispered naughtily. She giggled and wriggled my pants off me.
'As much as I'd like to have your kids, do you have a condom?' She asked. I laughed and shook my head, knowing she wouldn't see me. I didn't exactly want to say this.
'Well, um, Mikey and Callie kinda took my last one. That's why that rocking noise was coming from across the hall.' I murmured sheepishly. She gasped and I covered her mouth.
'Penina shh! Everyone else is in their rooms so they can hear us.' I said.
'Then let's be loud as fuck.' She laughed.
'You shouldn't have told us to go, you know? Now Mia's in trouble. So I have to punish you.' I said huskily. She found her way to the bed and lied down.
'Have at it.' She said certainly.
My hands searched for her bra and when they found it I yanked them off harshly. I ran my hands down her bare chest, feeling her pert breasts and stopped. She waited expectantly. I wrapped my hand around her panties and whipped them off, throwing them on the lamp next to us. Good thing the door was locked. If Emily were to walk in, well, who knows what would happen.
I climbed on top of the bed and straddled her, hands trailing over her soft body. I leaned in to kiss her, smelling honey and roses in her hair. I grabbed her arms, pinning her down and she yelped.
'Baby, you don't want to know what else I can do.' I whispered in her ear. Then I licked her cheek, rolling it down the side of her face and down to her neck, kissing it furiously. Penina moaned. I continued to roll my tongue down her torso and stopped at her breasts, nipping the buds quickly. I sucked on them like a child would its mother and I could hear her panting beneath me. The air was starting to get humid and my cock was hardening quickly.
'Ummm, Frankie don't stop!' Penina whined. I giggled and put my sweaty hands on the inside of her thighs, moving them up to stroke her pussy. She shivered and I moved my hands over her cunt, feeling it get wet, beads of liquid were getting on my hand. I put my hand to my mouth, tasting her. She tasted warm, a bit salty and quite sweet. Like a lollipop.
I widened her legs and positioned myself at her entrance.
'I'm ready for you. I want you to fuck me so hard.' She smiled. Her voice was soft and alluring and I couldn't stand it! I kissed her on the lips as my hands moved up to keep her getting up.
She winced ad I pushed into her tight pussy, feeling the warmth of the clenched walls around my cock. My hands reached under her, feeling her firm ass. I pinched a cheek and she screamed. Scream for me again, babe.
'Oh, sister.' I moaned loudly.
I thrusted in and out of her, losing myself in ecstasy. She whimpered and I slowed down, fearing I'd hurt her.
'No, I'm okay. Frank I want to you to love me.' she murmured quietly. I nodded and sped up again. Her pussy was dripping wet now and my cock was throbbing, wanting to burst then and there. I wanted her to get her fill, though so I milked it as long as I could. I kissed her again and again, her lips plump and raw.
'I love you so much Penina, whatever happens to us, this is my way of telling you I'm yours.' I sighed, knowing she felt the same way.
I rode in her for as long as I could until I couldn't keep it in anymore. I screamed her name, head at the ceiling.
Thick ropes of cum spurted out as I pulled out and it splashed on her chest. I lay down on her, holding her warm body close to mine. Her hands were laced in mine, and we lay there hearing each other's panting. With the lights off, my senses were heightened and could feel her moving up under me, skin brushing against mine.
'I never want to leave you.' She said resting her head on my chest.
'Sweetie, I won't. Not now, not ever. We're perfect for each other and I love you so much. Besides, I can't just leave after that. A+.' I said. She giggled. I loved feeling her breath on my skin. It feels so precious and special. She's even smaller than me, and that makes me feel protective of her. Like I said. I won't ever leave her. She's my girl. No one else's. I am so glad we found each other.
Yay for Shayla's smut skills! Hip hip, hooray! Hip hip, hooray! And one more for sweet revenge! Hip hip, hooray!!! WOO!!! (Geddit?) Haha. So, I was stuck in a 2 hour traffic jam on my way home, and I fucking hated it. My driver goes in a retarded route anyway, but that was just ridiculous. I didn't get home until nearly 6 pm. UGH!!! But, on happier news, I will update a lot of my stories tomorrow, so yay!!! So, the guy at my school who I may or may not fancy a bit a lot talked about his penis. I wish I was joking. Haha. He just said it was okay. I don't even want to get in with how we got to that conversation, but it was really funny! Also, my cat stopped me from eating my breakfast this morning by jumping on the table and trying to eat it himself... stupid cat. I love him though! Haha. I hope you liked this! Once again, thank Shayla for the awesome sexiness of this chapter. Rate it as hot and review it however you wish. Haha. XD xx

Business Ideas in the News / November 5, 2009
Caremark Founder Kevin Lewis discusses his experiences with franchise consultancy FDS, which has helped him launch not one but two care franchises.
I have worked alongside FDS Franchise Consultant Gordon Patterson for 14 years, and in this time, Gordon has helped me to successfully franchise two domiciliary care businesses: one of which is Caremark. A huge amount of both brands' success is down to Gordon, FDS and its publication The Franchise Magazine.
I launched my first domiciliary care business in 1993, in response to the NHS Community and Care Act (1990). Within 18 months the business was turning over £1 million and everything started to unravel. I made the executive decision to address the problems and prevent them from occurring again and created an operations manual, which resolved the problems and inspired me to franchise the concept nationwide. In order to do it successfully I knew I needed to enlist the help of a qualified franchise consultant. Carry on reading…

I like spinning and mixing music it makes my heart beat really loud almost as loud as the headphones. I dream to be the sickest female DJ to trash Illa Manila with the sickest beats. Or become a race car driver and burn tires. Or be a joint rollin football player. Oh wait, I already am.
I dislike eating food that stink up my breath. Except now, I eat almost anything you feed me. I sense your secret plot on tryna make me fat. Please don't deny. I know it.
I'm a ninja. I'm sneaky like that. That's why I know your secret plot on tryna make me fat.
I like shower dancing. I pretend to be in a rock concert performing. In the shower. Then I'd stop and would always realize how awkward it would be performing naked. And wet. Boo.
I like car rides with my buddies. Singing as we drive by the world. Wearing out aviator shades with our halfway smoked cigarettes sticking out the window raising them up to the beat as the chorus begins.
I'm random. Randumb, actually. HellGoodbye.

Persimmon cake
Persimmon what? Sharon fruit? Never heard of it!
These are the kind of comments I got from my office colleagues while they enjoyed their slices of this lovely cake.
I would have been one of them, but meeting a lovely person at Edd Kimber's Macaron class changed that. We started talking about local and seasonal produce when she described Persimmon as a tomato like fruit which tasted something like a plum. This, I had to try. Whilst doing my research on the fruit, I ended up on Azélia's Kitchen blog, which had some very useful information and lovely photos about the fruit.
There are mainly two types of Persimmon fruit. Astringent and non-astringent. The Hachiya variety is astringent and very bitter when eaten raw because of its high tannin content. It is ripe when it is very soft to touch with jelly like pulp. The "Fuyu"variety is non-astringent and can be eaten in its firmer form. Sharon fruit is also a non-astringent persimmon , so named after the location in Israel where it is grown.
Difference between an un-ripe and ripe persimmon
Persimmon Cake with cream cheese frosting
Whilst getting the permission to use my Cherry and Almond cake recipe for the blog, the publisher Jacqui Small, also kindly sent me David Lebovitz's new book. Lo and behold! there was a recipe in the book for Persimmon cake. I have tried a few recipes from the book now and they have so far all turned out pretty well including the famous pre-baked tart shell and pistachio-cardamom cake.
He recommended using "Hachiya" variety which I couldn't find in the superstore. I bought the only variety of the persimmon they had "Rojo Brillante". As it turns out, "Rojo Brillante" is an astringent variety grown in Valencia, Spain which is treated after cultivation to remove its astringency.
The only problem was the requirement for alcohol in the recipe, but a quick tweet later I was able to substitute it with apple juice.
Dried currants 120 grams
Apple juice 50 ml
Plain flour 280 grams
Bicarbonate of soda 2tsp
Ground cinnamon 1 1/2tsp
Salt 3/4 teaspoon
Nutmeg (freshly grated) 1/2 tsp
Granulated sugar 350grams
Butter (unsalted) 170 grams-melted
Persimmon purée 375 mls
Eggs (large) 3
Vanilla extract 2 tsp
Pecans (toasted) 150 grams
Cream cheese 115 grams
Butter (salted) 1 tbsp
Vanilla extract 1/2 tsp
Lemon juice 1 tbsp
Icing sugar 90 grams
water 4-5 tsp
Preheat the oven to 180C (160C fan) and coat a bundt tin with butter.
Bring currants to boil with the juice and then leave to cool.
Scoop out flesh from persimmons and blend to a purée.
Sift flour, bicarbonate of soda, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg in a bowl. Add sugar.
Mix persimmon purée, eggs, vanilla and melted butter in a separate bowl. Add the liquid mix to the dry mixture and stir. Fold in the currants and nuts till just moist to avoid over mixing. Put the mixture in the pan and bake for an hour.
Beat cream cheese and butter together. Add vanilla, lemon juice and then icing sugar. Add water to turn it into a pouring consistency. Spoon over the cake and tap gently to let it drip on the sides.

The starting line.
Right, I've had this blog now for a good year and a half and I can honestly say I've done nothing but get high, look at some sweet ass pictures and dream about the day I'd be releasing my music. That shit stops today! Now I've opened up a little and actually coughed up the pride to share my music with the outside world, I think it's about time I do the same with my mind too. Not just through melody, rhyme or spoken word. So soon I'm going to start using this for the reason it was created.

What Makes a Leader?
Challenges a number of myths about leaders - and it could awaken your organisation's dormant leaders!
- For 1, 2, 3 or 4 teams
- 1 hour
- explains the difference between the manager and the leader
- explodes some key myths about leadership
- identifies basic leadership behaviour at work
- explains what day-to-day leadership is all about
- builds confidence and motivates participants to embrace a new leadership approach
- criticises the 'traits' approach
The Activity
Leadership is absolutely key when it comes to setting goals, motivating staff, managing people and achieving results. Unfortunately too many leadership courses focus on extraordinary, inspirational leaders on the world stage. Tim in Accounts is never going to have the gravitas of Nelson Mandela, Amitra in Admin is no Angela Merkel. Nevertheless if all staff understand basic, leadership qualities it can make a real difference to their own everyday performance: presenting ideas, instigating change, pouring oil on troubled waters, showing objective judgement. This pack challenges many of the above ideas and puts leadership in a new light.
Trainer's Role
- Divide group into teams, briefly introduce the activity then issue Handout 1 ('True or False?') to each person to complete the 1st section (about individual responses). Now ask them to work in teams to complete the 2nd section (about the team's response)
- Discuss results to bring out prejudices and falsehoods about leadership. Now issue each team with a sets of 55 cards. Ask them to think about the statements on the cards. Which are specific to a 'leader' rather than being generic statements or ones specific to a manager? Ask them to narrow it down to those cards that best sum up the key attributes of an effective leader
- Lead a debrief about the selections (all covered in the Trainer's Notes)
- The True/Flase session at the start and the card activity can now be linked to see how much their original ideas have been challenged and changed
- Use the Handouts 2, 3 & 4 to establish the new view of leadership expressed in this exercise, and to identify key differences between leaders and managers
- Participants now look at how to apply their learning in order to strengthen their role at work. In the final stage they prepare Action Plans that identify situations in their particular job where their new-found knowledge of leadership behaviours can be put to good effect
- Debriefs of each section are fully supported by clear Trainer's Notes.
Pack Contents
- Trainer's Notes
- Handout 1 (A4 pad): True or False?
- CD-Rom containing PDF files for printing Handouts 2, 3 & 4
- Handout 2: Leadership or not?
- Handout 3: Leadership or Management?
- Handout 4: Executive Leader or Manager?
- 4 x Set of 55 Cards
Enhance the learning experience
Northgate Games always add a dimension to enhance the learning experience.
P. Mistretta, Center Parcs
Makes people consider the power we all have to be leaders by challenging the status quo
I used this exercise as part of an ILM module and it created much debate among the delegates. It is great to finally have an exercise which challenges the old Leadership theories (Trait, Great Man, Theory X and Y)

What Are Some Good Dessert Recipes for Just One or Two People?
Good Questions
Q: I cook for two in a small kitchen, and I still don't have a good grasp on dessert recipes. Sometimes, after dinner, we want a sweet treat but don't want to bake a whole batch of cookies or have a cake around all week. Any suggestions for baking for one or two?
Sent by Kate
Editor: Kate, fresh fruit and a dribble of whipped cream is always nice, as is a scoop of ice cream (lasts well in the freezer!). But if you do want baking recipes, why not an icebox cookie? Leave a log of cookie dough in the freezer and slice a few off as needed. See some recipes here:
• Give the Gift of Dough: 9 Sweet and Savory Icebox Cookies
Readers, what else would you suggest?

Keep cookie dough in the freezer and just bake a couple at a time!
I sometimes bake a cake, then stick half in the freezer, very well-wrapped. Or give away slices to my neighbors--who are also just couples and repay us by bringing over their spare cake slices later in the week! It's a good set-up.
Cupcakes (unfrosted) and cookies keep very well in the freezer for MONTHS. Bake a batch, let them cool completely, then wrap them in small portions and freeze. You can defrost them by letting them sit on the counter for a few hours, or in the microwave in less than a minute.
Here's a recipe for molten lava cakes that makes two. It's one of our favorite weeknight desserts! http://www.womansday.com/recipefinder/molten-chocolate-cakes-recipe-122841?click=rec_sr
I've seen a lot of recipes lately on Pinterest and elsewhere for mug cakes, small individual serving cakes in a mug that you just microwave to bake. I haven't actually tried it, but it sounds perfect for making small portions.
Or you can just do what I do, bake something and then have you and your significant other/roommate take the rest into work the next day. My coworkers love it when I send out a baked good alert email.
There are cake in a mug recipes, but I don't really recommend those. Fruit crisps are easy to scale down to one or two. You can pre-mix the crumble topping and keep it in the freezer too.
Solo chocolate chip cookie in a mug! Its AMAZING I make it all the time!
allrecipes.com has a calculator where you can reduce the number of servings in a recipe and it will tell you the new amount of ingredients. I've only tried it a couple times on things that seemed somewhat easy and straightforward. Of course then you have to deal with things like only needing a third of an egg...
Mini clafoutis. Individual chocolate lava cakes (I use a David Leite recipe that I sized down - delish). Individual free form fruit tarts (keep extra dough in the freezer and just pull out and unthaw as needed). Individual fruit crisps, cobblers, etc. (I also make a full batch of crisp topping, then just keep it in the freezer and use with whatever fruit is on hand). In the summer, one of my favorite things is to mix whatever fruit is in season (berries, peaches, etc.) with some full-fat plain greek yogurt, toss it in a small ramekin, and top with some brown sugar. Then stick it under the broiler until the sugar has melted. You'll have a crackly creme brulee like topping that is great with the fruit and yogurt, and it takes less than 5 mins.
Also, cookie dough can be scooped and kept in the freezer for baking off a couple at a time - no need to bake the whole batch at once.
How about individual portions of fruit crumble, baked in ramekins? Yes, it takes a little longer to bake, but if you put it in the oven while you're prepping everything else, it'll be ready by the time you want dessert.
There's a good recipe by Alton Brown here: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/individual-berry-crisps-recipe/index.html
I solve this problem by bringing in my leftovers to work. One or two servings of a cake is usually enough for our family so I bring in the rest to my coworkers. It is usually gone well before noon.
Keep tart shells in the freezer. Toss fresh fruit with a bit of sugar and cornstarch, fill a few shells and bake them up.
Find a good custard powder to have on hand, Make up a small batch and flavour it with jam, fruit, chocolate or liquor. Eat it hot from the pan or chill it for later.
A half recipe of tiramisu would work for 2 and I also like making small crisps or crumbles like this raspberry and peach one, but you can use whatever fruit is in season.
Check out the book Small Batch Baking by Debby Nakos. It has everything from cookies to cakes and pie, all one to three serving recipes.
I actually found a book called Small-Batch Baking that is PERFECT for this. Here's the Amazon link. It's my go-to for when I need dessert for just me.
Make chocolate truffles, leave them in the fridge to enjoy. No baking required and making them is a fun activity for 2.
Aside from what people already mentioned, I make a habit of making 6" cakes. Most recipes for a 9" cake (or even an 8") can be halved (or quartered, if they initally made two cakes) for a single 6" cake. It makes 4-8 servings, depending on portion size, which keeps long enough for two people to have a slice after dinner a few nights in a row.
(Note: I divide eggs by whisking them until smooth-ish, and then splitting the result between two cups. It may not be perfect, but it works out fine).

Clearly the ice cream comment was a joke.
I second the 6" cake idea. Sure, you have to buy different pans, but they're actually useful for lots of different things (roasting small portions of vegetables, individual pizzas, quiche, and on and on). The individual mug cakes are OK in a pinch, but it doesn't take much more time and effort to mix up a "real" cake to stick in the oven with a better texture and flavor.
Also, consider pies in jars! http://www.ourbestbites.com/2009/09/single-serving-pie-in-a-jar/
I really like this recipe: http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2010/05/lemon-greek-yogurt-mousse-dessert-recipe.html (there are only two people in my household, too, and this stuff definitely doesn't last long).
I love the idea of freezing cupcakes.
There is a great blog called Dessert For Two that I have really enjoyed checking out. I don't run that or anything so I won't link to it but if you Google the name, there you go. She has some really good recipes and they are all scaled for small quantity.
I like to bake a sliced apple or pear and add some maple syrup, cinnamon, maybe some orange juice, dried fruit (raisins, sliced figs, apricots) then serving with a little cream and granola? You can make a larger dish of course so you can enjoy some with breakfast. Muffins are great as others suggested. If I make a cake to freeze, I tend to make one that is more of a pound cake or coffee cake. Coffee cake with lots of dried fruit and nuts is also wonderful when used for french toast.
In a pinch, I'll make cinnamon toast or a pj and j - quick, easy and satisfying.
i like the mini-pies in ramekins, which i discovered when my CSA last summer gave me my third straight week of copious blueberries. i keep frozen, pre-made, rolled-up dough (from Trader Joes or elsewhere--rolled up because they don't take up precious space) in the freezer, and tear out what i need to fit the ramekin, with enough extra to fold loosely over. dump in some mixed berries, sprinkle a little sugar and cinnamon, fold over the dough, and pop in the oven for a short wait. yummm. dollop of vanilla bean ice cream is essential, of course.
I love making fruit crumbles in individual serving-sized ramekins (example: easy berry crumble for two). Also, something I've come to call apple nachos, which is just a thinly sliced apple or 2, depending on the size and how much dessert you want, topped with small amounts of various sweet treats, depending what I have on hand (example: a light sprinkling of chocolate chips, peanuts or a few dabs of peanut butter, coconut flakes, a little caramel, and/or mini marshmallows), and placed under the broiler for a couple minutes until the chocolate melts or the marshmallows are toasted. A light dusting of cinnamon and sugar on raw or slightly baked apple slices is another favorite; also halved/baked apples or peaches, and roasted strawberries w/chocolate on a graham cracker (especially if the raw strawberries are subpar).
Chocolate covered banana pops or chocolate covered strawberries.

Stosur Dismisses Li, Tough Day For Faves
Published August 11, 2011 12:00
TORONTO, Italy - Thursday was a tough day for top players at the Rogers Cup, as Vera Zvonareva, Maria Sharapova, Li Na and Petra Kvitova - seeded No.3, No.5, No.6 and No.7, respectively - were all KO'd in straight sets.
Watch Toronto all week on WTA Live powered by TennisTV!
Li was the first to go. Playing her first match in six weeks, the French Open champion just couldn't figure out the serve of No.10 seed Samantha Stosur, missing out on her only break point of the match but losing serve three times to lose, 62 64. Stosur improved to 4-0 head-to-head against Li, and 8-0 in sets.
"She has a huge, big serve, not like the other girls," Li said. "It's tough after a break to come back for the first match. I didn't play a tournament for six or seven weeks. So at the beginning I didn't really know what to do. Hopefully it'll get better and I'll start training hard tomorrow to try to be ready for Cincinnati."
Kvitova was the next to fall, losing comprehensively to the WTA's newest Top 10 player, Andrea Petkovic. Ranked No.10 this week but seeded No.11 as the seedings were based on last week's rankings, Petkovic broke Kvitova's serve four times and was never broken herself for a lopsided 61 62 victory.
"I was expecting a really tough match, but the conditions were tough and she didn't play for so long," Petkovic said. "I know how I feel the first two matches when I come back after one or two months, and I also had the advantage of playing Carlsbad last week and getting some matches. I was already in it."
Playing her first tournament since winning Wimbledon, Kvitova won a close two-setter with Anabel Medina Garrigues in her first match back Wednesday, but looked far from her best against Petkovic on a gusty Thursday.
"Yesterday was a bad match for me, I didn't play well. Today it was windy again and my game wasn't good. I did many, many mistkaes on the forehand," Kvitova said. "After Wimbledon I went home and took two weeks off. Then I had fitness preparation in the mountains in Slovakia, and then I played 12 days, 14 days of tennis. I was ready for the tournament, but I have to play more matches."
Sharapova and Zvonareva, the 2009 and 2010 finalists at this tournament, followed them to the sidelines later in the afternoon. Having lost to her in the Carlsbad final four days earlier, Zvonareva fell to No.13 seed Agnieszka Radwanska one more time, seemingly on her way to a third set by taking a 4-0 second set lead but still falling in straights in just under two hours, 64 76(4).
Over on Centre Court, Sharapova lost to inspired Kazakh qualifier Galina Voskoboeva, 63 75. Voskoboeva's big serve and groundstrokes were hitting their targets as she powered through the first set and rallied from 2-4 in the second set for a chance to serve out the match at 63 54; she built a 40-0 lead in that game but lost five straight points to allow Sharapova back on serve, but then broke again and held at 15 to close out the biggest win of her career.
"Obviously she's playing really well this tournament. You could tell today she came into the match with a lot of confidence, swinging away, going for the first serve and her shots," Sharapova said of the 26-year-old Voskoboeva. "If she consistently played like that, she wouldn't be ranked where she is today."
Voskoboeva, originally from Russia, finished 2010 ranked No.528, is now No.135 and is projected to crack the Top 100 by reaching the quarterfinals. She scored her first Top 10 win in the first round here over No.9-ranked Marion Bartoli, and has now got her second over the No.5-ranked Sharapova.
No.4 seed Victoria Azarenka was the only seed to make it out of the day session, cruising past Spanish qualifier María José Martínez Sánchez, 61 62. Roberta Vinci also made the final eight, following up her second round upset of No.1 seed Caroline Wozniacki by beating Ana Ivanovic, 76(3) 62.
In the first night match, Serena Williams rallied from a set down to beat former Top 15 player Zheng Jie, 46 63 63. Zheng, who has been trying to work her way back up the rankings and is a qualifier here, was two points from a 4-2 third set lead when Williams shifted gears again. Williams broke at love to seal it.
"The thought 'I'm gonna lose' never ever crosses my mind, even if I'm down match point," Williams said. "After I lost the first set, I just thought about the third set. If I lose the first set, I'm automatically thinking about the third set."
In the late match, big-hitting lefty Lucie Safarova continued the wave of upsets, taking out No.8 seed Francesca Schiavone, 63 63.
Azarenka is now the only Top 9 seed remaining in the tournament.
