Yes, autism once again comes to daytime soaps. "Days of Our Lives" will have an autism story line, starting June 24.
BURBANK, CA (June 10, 2008) – The growing autism crisis – which has recently drawn increasing national attention -- is addressed in a personal manner beginning in the June 24 episode of NBC's daytime drama "Days of our Lives" in an insightful story based on the experiences of the series' head writer, Dena Higley...
...Dr. Lexie Carver (Renee Jones) and Commissioner Abe Carver (James Reynolds), are told their 3-year-old son, Theo, has autism. The news of Theo's diagnosis is understandably hard for the couple to comprehend, but through the love and support of family and friends, and the love for their son, they learn a lot about their family and how to cope with this tremendous, new challenge.
Higley is married to Mark, her husband of 21 years, and together they have raised four children -- two biological and two adopted. Their eldest, son Connor, was diagnosed with autism at the age of 3. Now 19, Connor drives his own Mustang, has a black belt in Tae Kwon Do, recently graduated from high school and is preparing to go to college in Florida in the fall...
You can read the full story here. It's complete with words like "emotional trauma" and "autism crisis." Oh, they do mention "hope" and "achievement" as a "possibility." As if it's something that may happen. I think the story of Connor Higley (an autistic individual who has a black belt, drives, and is on his way to college) has potential to show the world another side of autism. But I won't hold my breath.
This may be the last happy family portrait for the Carvers, knowing Autism Speaks' record. The early days of diagnosis (and perhaps all of childhood) will be dark and depressing we can assume. I wonder if there will be any silver linings, if they'll show any good from Lexie and Abe's day with their autistic child. One has to hope that at the very least neither Abe nor Lexie say they are pondering driving off a bridge with their autistic child.
I guess we can breathe a sigh of relief, since Autism Speaks has yet to fall to Katie Wright's belief in that autism is caused by vaccines and that biomedical intervention is the only way to go. Phew. Could you imagine TACA or Safe Minds taking this on? You'd have a child who was talking, smiling, giggling on the day the receive their vaccines. The next morning, the child is "in his own world," and the mother cries out "somebody took my son!" They are angry and devastated. Doctors lie to them, say there is nothing wrong, then ultimately diagnosis this child with autism. Desperate, they find their way to a DAN! doctor, spent thousands on various tests, and have their answer. The story line could be "vaccine injury" or "mercury poisoning" etc. They would show the child's treatments: GFCF diet, 20+ supplements, B12 injections, and chelation. Over the weeks, the child would begin speaking and "coming back" to the family. Ah yes...what a soap opera that would be.
On a side note, there's this study using soap opera (yes, soap operas) as therapy for autistic individuals.

Whether you're a mom taking your child to dance class, a late night beer leaguer, Sunday night softball player, or high school varsity athlete- Cars for athletes are a second homes and sometimes you'll need some accessories to keep that home ready for the next game/match/recital!
Aux Cord
Get the atmosphere going for pre-game. Athletes love getting into game ready mode and music is a really important part of it. Also, an after victory dance party is extremely appropriate. So Grab the aux cord and plug in the tunes.
Car Charger
Keep connected with a simple car charger. You'll need that phone for getting pictures of the action, postgame selfies, and calling grandma to tell her how you did! Charge up so you'll always be ready for action, even if you're a spectator.
Air Vent Clips
Athletic equipment can smell. Hockey and football equipment can be downright foul- especially after a big game. Get some scented car clips to keep your car smelling fresh and less like wet sneakers.
Seat Covers
It's really hard to wash actual seats. Solution? Putting seat covers on the seats to protect them. If they get muddy, sweaty, or wet you can throw them in the washing machine with the rest of the attire from the match!
Rubber Floor Mats
Cleats will bring half the field back with them! Protect the floors and make it easier to keep the entire car clean by putting down rubber floor mats. You'll thank me that you did!
Cargo Organizer
If you play multiple sports, or have multiple kids, the equipment will EXPLODE over the car. Grab a cargo organizer and keep equipment in it, and if it's clear of equipment use it for groceries!
Trash Bucket with Lid
All the protein bar wrappers and coffee cups have to go somewhere. Make sure you put a trashcan with a lid! **expert tip: get a plastic cereal tote with lid on it and place a plastic shopping bag in it- makes for the perfect trashcan**
There you go athletes- Tackle this little project and you'll be ready to tackle any game that you face!

Kyle Busch Defends Auto Club 400 Title with Repeat Victory
FONTANA, Calif. (March 23, 2014) – Kyle Busch's dominance continued at the Auto Club Speedway in Fontana as the defending NASCAR Sprint Cup Auto Club 400 champion took home the checkered flag once again.
Busch (No. 18, Interstate Batteries Toyota) held off rookie Kyle Larson (No. 42, Target Chevrolet), Tony Stewart (No. 14, Rush Truck Centers/Mobil 1 Chevrolet) and his older brother Kurt Busch (No. 41, Haas Automation Chevrolet) in the wildly exciting finish in a race that featured a record 35 lead changes. A sold-out and enthusiastic crowd watched as Grand Marshal Gonzo of the Muppets started the race by directing drivers to start their engines.
"What an awesome race this track produced two days in a row," said Busch, who held off Larson by 0.214 seconds in a green-white-checkered finish. "I can't believe it. Thank the Lord for getting us locked in the Chase."
The win for Busch, who held the lead twice and started 14th, was his third career win at Fontana and marked the fifth time in five races a new winner has emerged this NASCAR season. It was his 29th career Sprint Cup victory.
On Friday, Busch placed his feet, plaque and signature in the Auto Club Speedway Walk of Fame, and it's a spot he'll happily return to next March.
Matt Kenseth (No. 20, Dollar General Toyota) and Stewart finished fourth and fifth, respectively, while five-time Auto Club Speedway Cup winner Jimmie Johnson (No. 48, Lowe's Spring Is Calling Chevrolet) blew a tire while in the lead with seven laps to go. He finished 24th.
Jeff Gordon (No. 24 Drive to End Hunger Chevrolet) overtook the lead at that point, but it was short-lived as Clint Bowyer (No. 15, PEAK Toyota) spun to cause a yellow with two laps left.
It was the second straight day Busch and Larson battled till the very end as Larson won Saturday's NASCAR NNS TREATMYCLOT.com 300 race, the first of his career. ''I don't know where everybody went, but I somehow ended up in second and it entered my mind, 'We might sweep the weekend,' " Larson said.
''I came off the fourth turn in disbelief that we won this thing, because we were mediocre all day,'' Kyle Busch said. ''It was really weird for us, not a race that we're typically used to. But now there's a load off your shoulders that you can go out the rest of the season and race the way you want to.''
Jamie McMurray (No. 1, McDonald's Chevrolet), Brian Vickers (No. 55, TreatMyClot.com/Aaron's Toyota), A.J. Allmendinger (No. 47, Charter Chevrolet), Paul Menard (No. 27, Duracell/Menards Chevrolet) and Carl Edwards (No. 99, Subway Ford) finished 6-10, respectively.
Edwards finish kept him one point ahead of Dale Earnhardt Jr. (No. 88, National Guard Chevrolet), who finished 12th, for the overall points lead. Gordon was 13th and Danica Patrick (No. 10, GoDaddy/Get Found Chevrolet) was 14th.

Top-seeded National Kaohsiung Normal University held off a late-game rally by Changhua's Mingdao University by sinking a pair of free throws by Wang Tzu-kang to escape with a 74-71 win in the first semi-final of the annual University Basketball Association (UBA) tournament at the Sinjhuang Sports Complex in New Taipei City last night.
The win not only upped the future educators of the south's post-season mark to a stunning 9-1, but also paved the way into the title game for them for the first time in their history.
What should have been an easy win for National Kaohsiung Normal on paper against sixth-seeded Mingdao was anything but easy, as their lone loss in the post-season had come at the hands of Mingdao.
And Mingdao looked well on their way to make it two wins in a row in the early going by jumping to a 21-17 lead after one quarter of play.
However, National Kaohsiung Normal returned the favor by holding Mingdao to an even dozen in the second quarter while netting 19 points of their own to end the first half with a 36-33 advantage.
National Kaohsiung Normal managed to add to their margin by two in an evenly fought third, before Mingdao capitalized on a couple of mistakes by National Kaohsiung Normal to pull within two at 66-64 with two minutes remaining in the game.
That was as close as they got as National Kaohsiung Normal team captain Lu Chi-er was fouled on a made basket to complete a three-point play the old-fashioned way to make it 72-66 with under a minute to play.
Mingdao's Lee Chi-wei was able to score from downtown to half the deficit with 11 ticks on the game clock that made it a one-possession game, only to see Wang nailed a pair of free throws that sealed the deal.
A superior rebounding effort by National Kaohsiung Normal was the difference in the game as they out-rebounded Mingdao 56-38, with 23 of the 56 coming off the offensive glass.
"Rebounding was the key to our win today," Lu said after the game.
His team awaited the winner of the late semi-final contest between New Taipei City's National Taiwan University of Arts and New Taipei City's Fu Jen Catholic University.
National Taiwan University of Arts won their second game in as many days in the other semifinal game by topping Fu Jen Catholic University 74-69 at the Sinjhuang Sports Complex last night.

The following is a brief excerpt from upcoming book, Define Your Destiny: A Self-Awareness Journey Toward Servant Leadership.
One of my heroes is retired General Colin Powell. During the early to
mid-1990s, there was a groundswell of emotion on the part of many people in
this country for him to run for the office of President of the United States.
After all, how could the nation go wrong?
General Powell was highly decorated. He was a Vietnam War veteran; he held a master's
degree in business administration from George Washington University; he
was Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; he appeared on the cover of TIME magazine as their Man of the Year.
His book, My American Journey, was a
bestseller. He was knighted by the Queen of England, and he had led the country
through the Gulf War.
I remember
watching General Powell on an episode of 20/20
as he was being interviewed by Barbara Walters. She wanted to know if he
was going to seek the presidency, and she was persistent in her questioning.
I will never forget
General Powell's response: "I do not want to run for president. I do not have
that 'burning in the belly.' I am a soldier." Wow! What fortitude and
self-awareness. When just about every political poll in the country said he
would win, General Powell knew himself well enough to say no. It was not his

Clients of HGTV's "Fixer Upper" stars Chip and Joanna Gaines have figured out the way to get the most out of their newly renovated homes — they've turned them into vacation rentals.
For the past couple of years, the Waco couple, who own remodeling and design business Magnolia Homes, has captured the interests of viewers everywhere with their show, in which they revitalize once-dilapidated homes. But according to the Waco Tribune-Herald, these fans now have the chance to stay several nights in one of these homes.
Related: From flat broke to HGTV's 'Fixer Upper' for furniture maker Clint Harp
Nearly half a dozen of the owners who have been featured on the show have decided to capitalize on the show's popularity and have listed their homes on property rental sites like Vacation Rentals By Owner and Airbnb.
This development has led the Gaines to consider changes for people who apply to appear on season five. Here is what Magnolia spokesman Brock Murphy said in a statement to the Waco Tribune-Herald:
"We have no problems with our clients' interest in using sites like VRBO and Airbnb to rent out their homes. In fact, we get it. But we are going to be more strict with our contracts involving 'Fixer Upper' clients moving forward. We want to honor our national viewing audience. We want to do remodels for clients' homes. That's the true intent of our show, and we want to ensure that does not get lost in this new vacation rental trend. What started off with perfectly understandable intentions could cast a shadow of a doubt on the much bigger picture, and we are going to do our best to protect that moving forward."

Subscribe To Zack Snyder Shared A Justice League Behind The Scenes Photo Updates
I've already subscribed
More than a year after its release date was revealed, Warner Bros officially announced today that Justice League: Part One will begin filming on April 11. Naturally, that means pre-production is already well underway, and to give fans a tease of what's coming their way in 2017, director Zack Snyder shared a behind-the-scenes photo. Take a good look at Snyder's photo with the DC Extended Universe's Aquaman, Jason Momoa!
Obviously, our eyes are first drawn to Snyder and Momoa posing for the camera, but it's what's lurking in the background that's especially interesting on this Twitter picture. This is like the DC version of I, Spy! Some of the minor props include a Bat-cowl, artwork in the back that looks like it has Aquaman's wife Mera on it and an all-black suit that is too nondescript to determine which hero it belongs to, though Batman is always a good guess. However, there's two costumes that are the clear highlights of the picture: Aquaman's and The Flash's.
Let's start with Aquaman. In the back, left-hand corner, we can see armor displaying the trademark 'A' on the belt. Our one main glimpse of the DCEU's Aquaman has been the promo picture of Momoa Snyder sent out last year, and the last couple months have seen concept art and toys both reinforcing that look over time. In those sneak peeks, Momoa's Aquaman going with a more casual look by going bare chested, wearing only a few armor pieces on his arms and wearing green pants with the gold belt. The armor in this picture looks like something the King of Atlantis would wear during war or an official ceremony. The coloring is rather dull, so hopefully they'll add some more green and gold to it. Who knows, maybe Momoa has already tried the armor on, and has given the same notes that we have.
As for The Flash, our looks at his costume have only come recently through promo art, like the ones featured on The CW TV special DC Films Presents: Dawn of the Justice League. You can glimpse the costume behind Aquaman's armor, and while it's far away, there are two main details that can be made out. One, similar to the Scarlett Speedster's costume on the TV series, it's a darker shade of red from the one his comic book counterpart wears. Two, the familiar lightning bolts remain on the ear area of his cowl. Beyond that, no other details can really be made out, but since Flash has a cameo in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice next month, surely we'll get an official look at Ezra Miller in the costume either before or after the movie's release, right?
Justice League: Part One hits theaters on November 17, 2017, and with 2016 still young, it's almost certain more sneak peeks at the heroes' costume will be heading our way as the year progresses.

Sermon by Pastor Melvin Bell
Spiritual gifts seem to be a mystery to a lot of believers; however, God has given each born again believer a spiritual gift to benefit the local Body and the Body of Christ at large. Paul addressed spiritual gifts several places in scripture, we will begin our study in Romans 12:1-8. The following are notes from a series of messages entitled "Spiritual Gifts Revealed"! This is the first session. I hope that these notes are a benefit to you. I would love to hear your comments and questions.
Romans 12:1-8 (KJV)
1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.
4 For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office: (office means FUNCTION)
5 So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.
6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;
7 Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching;
8 Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.
Charisma: Gifts, ability. It means the very special ability given to the believer byGod!
(2.) WHO HAS SPIRITUAL GIFTS? Romans 12: 3-6
Every Born Again Believer has a Spiritual Gift! (Vs. 3 to EVERY MAN; 1 Cor. 12:7 given to every man)
It comes from God; it is not a natural talent. The believer could not have attained nor secured the ability himself. It is a spiritual gift that is given by the Spirit of God .
(4.) WHAT MAKES SPIRITUALS GIFTS EFFECTIVE? Romans 12:1-8 )
(a.) PURITY of Life! Vs. 1-2
(b.) A MIND that is SUBMITTED to God in its THINKING! Vs. 2
(c.) Knowing WHO you are, but also knowing WHY and WHOSE you are! Vs. 3 the Why is because of God; the "whose" is that you belong to God. Think "Soberly" means to be in your right mind. Tie this in to 1Cor. 12 – "the foot can't say to the hand…."
(d.) Understanding the VALUE of EVERY GIFT and not just your own! Vs. 4-5 (vs. 3 leads into this in not thinking of yourself more highly than you should). Tie in 1 Cor. 12 – "….I have no need of you".
(e.) Understand that you were GIVEN the gift; you didn't obtain it on your own and it's TO BENEFIT OTHERS! Vs. 6; 1 Cor. 12:7
(f.) Love must be the MOTIVATION for the use of your Spiritual Gifts! 1 Corinthians 13:1-3

This fast-paced action film from the Shaw Brothers studios takes its inspiration from the events of the Sung Dynasty. The story begins with Bao Ting Tien (Ti Lung), the leader of a group of Sung rebels, attempting to rescue a prince from the Ching forces that have overtaken northern China. Bao crosses paths with Little Bat (David Chiang), a mysterious kung-fu expert, and the two decide to team up so they can pull off this daring mission. Unfortunately for both men, the odds are stacked against them - their mission involves crossing a long, perilous rope bridge and storming into a compound guarded by countless soldiers. The action that follows involves heroic sacrifices, cliffhangers galore and plenty of bloodshed. The end result was a hard-hitting action film and another hit for "The Iron Triangle" (this was the nickname given to the teaming of director Chang Cheh and stars David Chiang and Ti Lung).

where the health foods journey began…
Totally Wild was borne out of Barbara Kleinschmidt's keen interest and dedication to aloe over the last two decades. Having been involved in the aloe and health & wellness industry since the early 1990's, mostly with aloe skincare products, Barbara had taken part in several international trade shows as part of National Pavilions sponsored by the Department of Trade & Industry. It was while exhibiting in Tokyo in 2001 that she discovered aloe food and juice products on sale in their supermarkets.
Once back in South Africa she gradually started developing a small range of aloe-based jams, pickles and relishes, two of which were eventually finalists in the Food Review New Product Competition in 2007 which acknowledges the finest products and health foods in South Africa.
aloe juice benefits
At that stage, there were several "aloe health drinks" on the South African market – thick, unpleasant tasting drinks which were marketed as soothing and healing, semi-medicinal products.
It has been generally acknowledged, worldwide, for many years, that aloe has remarkable medicinal benefits. But until fairly recently, aloe was only known for its topical use in the health and wellness industry, mainly to soothe and heal burns, cuts and abrasions. But if taken internally, plain aloe soothes and heals ailments of the digestive tract in exactly the same way as it heals the skin.
a health and wellness partnership
The time was right to develop a small range of natural aloe juices, without any added sweeteners, sugar, artificial ingredients or preservatives. The idea was to create a juice that was appealing to the consumer, but at the same time provided the numerous health and wellness benefits of the Aloe ferox.
It was at this point that Barbara went into partnership with Nic Janik who, although having his background in Information Technology, finished an Information Systems Honours degree and had been running a software development company for a few years, the prospect of sinking his teeth into something completely different seemed both challenging and exciting. Nic was able to draw on his experience of being from a family that had been highly successful in the food manufacturing business for many years. It almost seemed inevitable that he would also one day venture into this field. With the investment of the family into the business this new partnership was born.
our health foods range
A manufacturing facility was set up in Retreat, Cape Town, and a small staff was employed to manufacture the aloe jams, pickles and relishes. At the same time, development of the juices commenced, which would prove to be a much longer and more complex exercise than anticipated! Unfortunately this range was discontinued in 2012.
By making use of a contract-manufacturer, the plain Cape Aloe Drink was the first product to be introduced into the market in 2008.
At trade shows in Europe, particularly, many requests had been received over the years, for aloe and fruit juice blends, so it was a natural progression for these to be the next products on Totally Wild's development programme. The first two of these were introduced in February 2009. As part of Totally Wild's continuous effort to provide the highest quality health foods to the consumer, the juices were reformulated and repackaged, with an addition of a new Baobab flavour to the range. In 2016 two new exciting flavours have been added to the range – Aloe, Peach & Honeybush and Aloe, Cranberry and Rooibos. Both new variants have been developed with the inclusion of indigenous ingredients like Rooibos and Honeybush which have many amazing health properties and are also proudly South African.
After much product development, in 2012 the Aloe 24/7 Aloe Drink was launched onto the market. Aloe 24/7 is an Organic Aloe Drink made from wild grown aloe ferox plants. The product is great every-day nutritional supplement to help boost the immune system and assist in improving general body function. It has been known to relieve symptoms of digestive tract ailments such as indigestion, heart burn, stomach ulcers, irritable bowl syndrome, diverticulitis, colitis and many others. It is one of the only products its category in South Africa that is Organic and preservative free.
Totally Wild's new venture into the skincare industry
It was a natural progression for Totally Wild to develop an Aloe Gel and this came to fruition in early 2016. Under the Aloe 24/7 brand our Aloe Gel is an amazing and unique combination of Aloe, Kalahari Melon Seed Oil, Rooibos Tea, Rosemary Oil, Cape Chamomile and Lemongrass Oil. The product is moisturising, regenerating, soothing, anti-inflamatory, anti-allergic properties and is also effective for skin irritations, burns, sun burns and skin orders such psoriasis and eczema.
Future Developments
Totally Wild continues to research and develop new products of which there some exciting new lines and line extensions in the pipeline.

We broke out some sidewalk chalk and did Abby's new favorite thing - tracing. We loaded up our driveway with chalk kids. :)
Today, unfortunately, it was rainy again, so we broke out the crayons and had a blast inside. I babysit Jess' kids on Mondays, and Abby was loving having Josie color with her. Next week I'm hoping to be super creative and make a fun Easter craft - we will see if my 32 week pregnant self can organize that! :)
I am counting down the weeks until our son joins the insanity with Abby and the cousins. Today the girls also were playing dress up and trying to get James involved. Poor little James needs another boy so he can wrestle around with a prince instead of a princess! ;)
Happy Spring!

Voda Snowboard
The Voda Push Snowboard is the boarder's ultimate training tool. Its flexible design is trampoline safe while giving the stability needed for realistic training. The N3 foam core deflects in the bounce then quickly snaps back to help lift off. The snowboard tips flex, making them forgiving in poor landings. Adjustable bindings cinch on quick and hold tight. It's the safest way to push the limits and develop new tricks. A great training tool for in and off season training.

When I was a little girl, I love to eat a three-flavour ice cream bar, consisting of banana, strawberry and chocolate. I can't remember the name of the ice cream, but most likely it was one of those King's or Magnolia ice cream, where you can easily buy from a neighbourhood grocery store. It was my brother who first bought me this yummy ice cream bar.
With this month Aspiring Baker's theme "layers of love", I had in mind pictures of my childhood's favorite ice cream - a nice yellow, pink and brown combination. Instead of inter-laying chocolate sponge with mousse filling, I decided to experiment a little with texture. I will have three chocolatey layers with a different texture - a layer of chocolate digestive crumbs at the bottom, a layer of chocolate sponge in the middle and coated with a top layer of chocolate ganache. In between them, I have banana caramel cheesecake (non-baked) and a layer of raspberry mousse.
How should I describe the taste ..... it has that delightful melt-in-your-mouth feel. Not exactly like eating ice cream, but somehow the cheese, sponge and mousse just blend together smoothly. The tartness from the raspberries helps to balance the sweetness of the banana caramel, so the cake does not taste too rich or heavy.
I happily kept a slice of this cake for my brother. Looking at how carefully he tasted each and every layer, it reminded me of the yummy ice cream bar that he bought for me when I was small :)
(makes a 7" round cake)
Chocolate digestive biscuits
6 to 7 pieces of digestive biscuits, finely crushed
40g melted butter + 1 tsp cocoa powder, mix together
Combine crushed biscuits, melted butter, cocoa powder and press evenly onto the base of a 7" cake ring. Place in freezer to harden while you work on the rest.
Banana Caramel
15g butter + 30g fine sugar
1 to 2 tbsp rum
3 to 4 medium-sized bananas, thinly sliced
Combine butter and sugar in a saucepan and cook over medium heat. When mixture melts and starts to bubble and caramelise, add in the rum (Careful: The mixture will bubble-up a little, but will subside after a few seconds). Add in the sliced bananas and cook till softened. Set aside to cool. I used about 100g of banana caramel for the cake. Any leftover can be used as toppings for waffle or pancake.... yum!
Banana Caramel Cheesecake100g dairy whipping cream, cold from fridge
150g cream cheese
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp sugar
100g banana caramel (see above)
2 tsp gelatin + 2 tbsp water, melted
1) Whisk whipping cream till soft peak. Keep in fridge.
2) Beat cream cheese, lemon juice and sugar together till smooth.
3) Add in the banana caramel and beat till batter is smooth.
4) Pour in the melted gelatin and mix well.
5) Fold in the whipped cream from step 1.
Chocolate sponge
(A): 3 egg yolks + 30g fine sugar + pinch of salt
(B): 3 egg whites + 50g fine sugar + pinch of cream of tartar
(C): 70g plain flour + 10g cocoa powder, sifted together
(D): 30g melted butter
1) Whisk (A) till thick and creamy.
2) In another bowl, whisk (B) till stiff peak.
3) Fold (A) and (B) together, then fold in (C).
4) Pour in melted butter and fold well to combine.
5) Pour batter into piping bag (fitted with a round nozzle) and pipe a 7" round disc on baking paper.
6) Bake in preheated oven of 180C for about 15 minutes till light brown.7) Remove from oven and cool on baking rack.
Note: The batter is enough to make two more round disc.
Raspberry mousse
100g raspberries + 3 tsp sugar
120g dairy whipping cream, whisked till soft peak
1.5 tsp gelatin + 2 tbsp water, melted
1) Combine raspberries and sugar in a pot and cook for a few minutes till raspberries turn soft. Leave aside to cool. Mash the raspberry jam with a fork or spoon.
2) Add the melted gelatin to the raspberry jam and fold in the whipped cream.
Chocolate ganache
80g dark chocolate + 20g dairy whipping cream
100g dairy whipping cream, whisked till soft peak
1 tsp gelatin + 1 tbsp water, melted
1) Combine chocolate and cream in a stainless steel bowl. Place bowl over simmering water to melt chocolate. Let it cool.
2) Fold the whipped cream into the melted chocolate and mix in the melted gelatin.
3) Keep in fridge to harden the ganache a little before spreading on the cake.
It may seem like this cake requires a lot of time and steps to prepare. All you need is a little planning ahead and spread out the preparation steps. For instance, the biscuit base, cheesecake and sponge can be prepared one or two days in advanced. So, you only need to prepare the mousse and ganache on the day where you assemble the cake.
Notes on preparation steps:
1) The biscuit base, cheesecake and sponge layers can be prepared in advanced.
2) When (1) is ready, cook the raspberry jam (it takes only a few minutes to cook) and let it cool.
3) While waiting for the jam to cool down, whisk the whipping cream for both raspberry mousse and chocolate ganache together, to cut down on the time spent to make this cake. Use about half the whipped cream for the raspberry mousse, and keep the rest in fridge (for the chocolate ganache).
4) After pouring the raspberry mousse layer, place in freezer for at least an hour for it to set completely, before spreading the chocolate ganache.
5) While waiting for the cake to set at (4), prepare the chocolate ganache.
Finally, to assemble the cake:
1) Pour the banana caramel cheesecake mixture over the frozen biscuit base. Place raspberries on the cheesecake mixture.
2) Place the chocolate sponge over the cheesecake mixture.
3) Pour the raspberry mousse on the sponge layer. Place in freezer till set.
4) Remove cake from ring and cover the whole cake with chocolate ganache.
5) Keep in fridge for another one to two hours before serving.

Look for the youngster in your life (or just the comfort lover)? Our very own tribute to Bob Barker, Nooder, could still use a home… and just in time for Easter!

So what's new with us at LoveSac Mayfair? God, so many things. First of all, we're all avidly awaiting a lot of new stuff to get to us at the Sac; first and foremost, our new puppy! No, we sadly don't mean a wiggly little furball in the living sense, but what we have coming is almost as good. LoveSac is getting two new stuffed dogs for you to take home! Our two dogs Nooder (an average size) and Spade (Great Dane sized) are both more than they appear; unbutton them and a blanket pulls out instead of stuffing, allowing you to cuddle with your new pet all night long. You can expect to see these little guys taking over the Sacs in store in a few weeks, just in time for Easter.
Our other news of the Sac comes from Tuesday night: if you were lucky enough to be at Mayfair, you might have noticed a large super cool bus parked in the back parking lot. (You know the one I'm talking about if it was beckoning for you to come party like a rockstar and you felt as if all the secrets to a comfortable life were hidden inside.) LoveSac Corporate's Alex and Brian drove the bus all the way from Pittsburgh, braving run away cars, the Milwaukee County Sheriff Department (aka the AntiFun Police), and mall security in the name of visiting our humble store. One fabulous dinner later and the Mayfair staff has never been more hyped about LoveSac! Just come in and ask us what's new. And maybe if you're lucky, we'll even show you more pictures of the bus. Trust us, it's pretty awesome.

While we at Mayfair are working hard through the after effects of our St. Patty's Day fun, we thought we'd bring you a fun picture of what we wish we were doing right now. The picture is one of our actual customers who passed out not only on a CitySac, not only with his child playing and singing next to him, but also with the meddling of the LoveSac staff. Yes, folks, when you fall asleep we try to wake you up nicely – normally a LoveSac Ball tossed gently onto your chest – but for this guy, our methods failed. He was that comfortable.
We all here have a day of spring cleaning ahead of us, and then our hearts are all set on following this man's great example once our shift is done. Jealous? Stop on by and join us! Or better yet, bring a Sac home for yourself so you can have this kind of comfort all the time.
Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: covers, green beer, hangover, LoveSac, microsuede, moss, moss microsuede, Sale, sleep, st patricks day
It's that time of year again: Good ol' March 17th. We here at Mayfair have quite a few lads and lasses with Irish blood pumping through their veins (and a few that pretend on this day once a year) and we find it only fair to extend our joy and celebration unto you, or customers. So for tomorrow only, all of our Moss Microsuede items will be 10% off! That's right, a perfect opportunity to stock up on one of our most durable covers. It has a soft feel, a neutral green tone, and it washes and wears with the best of 'em. And what's the best part about all of this, folks? It's on -any- moss item we have in stock. That's right: even Sactional covers. That means if you get here and we have them, you can start saving.
And trust us, we think you're going to need them. Whether you're simply eating corned beef and cabbage and hanging out on your Sactional or knocking back the green beer and passing out on your PillowSac, you're going to want something nice covering them when you pass out at the end of the night. And hey, it doesn't hurt to have something that is great with spills – and maybe even blends with some of the greener ones – for those, er, truly Irish celebrations the day might end with.
Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: covers, khaki, LoveSac, navy twill, ode, washable covers
It's fast becoming spring, and that means my tax return is fast dissolving; rent, groceries, and heating from the long, cold winter have taken all of my expendable cash away, my level of spending money is falling. Yet it's a LoveSac I want in my living room, one to call my own, and while the Khaki cover is grand, I'm afraid a klutz is the one who plans to own. I need a cover, you see, to wash and change and love, but one within my budget of next to none.
For too long I dreamed of the soft embrace of Taupe Rhino Phur, lulling me to sleep, but every time I try to buy, my wallet lets out a protesting squeak. Oh, what cover can I have now until my funding catches up with my dreams? One that will absorb the brunt of my spills and remain strong at the seams?
Then it hits me like a $5 LoveSac Ball to the head – "Navy Twill," I say, "can put my worries to bed!"
Then the friendly sales rep assures me, "A cotton based blue, it's surely suiting for you. We know it's not phurry, and it's not the toughest guy around, but you'll find it's positive qualities really abound. It keeps it's cool in the summer, perfect for naps in the sun, and it's as washable as any, in case you collapse in it after a run. And, now, we don't know when your birthday is – be it in months or weeks – but you can always have someone else come buy that fluffy cover you seek."
"Yes, yes!" I declare with a satisfied smile, "Until I get the cover of my dreams, this Navy Twill can really keep me in style! With my clumsy nature afoot, stains will have to find somewhere else to look. My washable Navy Twill cover sure is grand, and all thanks to you LoveSac, you really are the man. And who knows, when my birthday rolls around, I might just have two covers to love, both which fit my Sac like a glove! Twice the fun and so much variety, I love all LoveSac products in all their entirety."
So I skip into the sunset, my products in hand, soon to be fluffed, covered, and accompanying me to comfort land.

Establishing your own home business have its own set of challenges but it can be an exciting prospect for the most part. To set up a home office that makes working convenient and efficient for you, there are some essential factors that you need to consider when putting your home office plans together. Before you look into the finer details of your home office setup, you should work out the basics first. Taking care of these basic items will help you in taking care of the specifics later. - In which part of the house do you plan to set up your home office? Consider the year-round conditions of that particular area in the house. Make sure that it provides a convenient place for you to attend to business and work essentials. If you have your eye on the basement, consider the facts that there may be very little sunlight reaching you, and that it may get considerably more cold in the winter than the rest of the house. Of course, setting up near any windows that the basement may have, along with getting some personal space heaters could mitigate these concerns. - Find a quiet place in the house. Setting up your home office away from areas that will have a lot of distractions will help you increase productivity. This is an important consideration if you have young children at home. - What kind of customer interactions will you have in your home office? If clients will be coming to meet with you, you should make sure that both your family and your clients can enjoy some privacy while they meet with you. It is also a good idea to have a bathroom available for clients to use. These are just a few things that you should think about in the beginning states of your home office planning process.

Children love art! They love to take paint, pastels, watercolors, crayons, colored pencils, markers and clay and create things of beauty. The things they love to create when they have a choice are more about the process than the end product. They want to create lines and colors and see what happens! We spent the first month learning how to take care and use the tools that artists use. I didn't have to teach them how to be creative! They come to me creative! They look at things with artist's eyes and create like artists, taking their artistic liberties by making rainbow apples and pink houses, purple horses and green people. It is my job to make sure I do not stifle that creativity with my view of what is art! They love being creative and creative thinking is one of the 21st Century Skills we want to foster.
We will always continue and have opportunities to look at things with artist's eyes, but we also need to learn how to look at things with scientist's eyes and record what we see with some accuracy. We used the Fall season and our art materials to practice this. I set up the environment with experiences to get them thinking and wondering as scientists about things we are seeing this Fall, and then offered art materials for them to show what they notice with some accuracy.
Here they looked close at leaves. They used fine-lined permanent marker to try to draw the shape and the veins of the leaf. Some of these leaf shapes were very difficult and took a lot of persistence! They tried to match the colors of the leaf with watercolor paints.
At this area they looked closer at pumpkins and gourds. They used twistable crayons and colored pencils at this area to draw and write what they noticed.
Here they looked at pictures of trees and tried to create Autumn trees with clay. They have learned how to create multicolored sculptures without pressing the colors too hard and mixing them together.
Here they were supposed to try to match the colors of the leaves, but instead they were experimenting as scientists and wondering about and creating different shades of each secondary color.
Here are some examples of what we call "Observational Drawings" which is what we create when we look closer and document what we notice. As you can see, they are becoming very good at drawing what they see accurately!
The Reggio Philosophy says that children have 100 languages with which to express themselves and their learning. Using art gives them some different ways to express what they notice and learn! It allows them to use both critical and creative thinking skills at the same time! For some reason, us adults tend to squash some of these languages by telling kids they have to do things the same way as everyone else. Year by year, they loose many of the 100 languages until they hardly have any creative thinking skills left at all and no longer know how to think outside of the box. It saddens me, but here in our room, we will continue to foster the 100 languages and let them take pride in their way of thinking, doing, and coming up with solutions.
Here are some other things that have also been going on in our room!
|Using clay and letter stamps to try to spell words phonetically.
|Big Books we have read multiple times together are available for them to read.
|We are learning how to partner read and to be a good, helpful partner!
|Engineers are creating and sharing how their machines work.
|Measurement and weight are being explored.
|Matching our friends names to their pictures to help us learn to read their names.
|Stringing hard words together as we try to spell phonetically.
|We are also creating trees to represent the seasons as we experience them.
|Tree Blocks made by my husband are being used very creatively in our building area.
Our room is definitely a very busy place! I think we are ready to start an inquiry based on the students interests! This group has so many it will be hard to choose! Stay tuned to see what we do next!

Exercising with a health condition
WE ALL KNOW THE IMPORTANCE of being active. Yet even hitting the recommended 150 minutes a week of moderate-intensity exercise can be a challenge. 'For many people it's a case of finding the time and the motivation,' says GP Juliet McGrattan, author of Sorted: the Active Woman's Guide to Health (Bloomsbury, £16.99). 'But for those with long-term health problems, the complications can be greater – even though these are the people who may stand to benefit the most. 'Being active not only helps prevent conditions such as type 2 diabetes and heart disease, but it may also address established conditions such as joint pain, depression or anxiety,' says Juliet.

Jagr admits he almost signed with Oilers
Jaromir Jagr, in town with the Philadelphia Flyers, says he was "very close" to signing with the Oilers in 2008 after his days with the New York Rangers ended and he was thinking of giving Russia a shot.
"When I got the offer from Edmonton I had already promised to go to Omsk," said Jagr, who spent three years playing in the Siberian city, then came back to the NHL with the Flyers this season and has been one of their best players at 40.
"You know how it is, you don't want to break a promise…sometimes once you break something, it can hurt you later. It was only a matter of days, one or two, before I was going to be going to Russia," said Jagr, the 11th leading scorer (660) of all-time, and tied with Joe Sakic for eighth in career points with 1641. "I thought I was too old to change (NHL) teams after playing for the Rangers and I told the Omsk organization if I didn't go back to New York, I would sign in Russia."
Jagr's friend Ales Hemsky was a lure, obviously. They've played in the Olympics together. They are actually going out for dinner Wednesday night with Jagr jokingly saying "I hope he's not traded before then. He's supposed to pay, too."
"I was interested. I talked to (then GM) Kevin Lowe. They had a new owner. They have a young, good team. It just didn't happen," said Jagr, who had his 40th birthday on Feb. 15. "Maybe in my next life."
Back then, the Oilers weren't in a rebuild. They felt Jagr could get them into the playoffs where they could make some noise. But, Jagr went to Omsk where he had 146 points in 155 games and also played for the Czechs in the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver.
Jagr, who has 42 points this season, including an OT winner in Winnipeg Tuesday night (his NHL record 16th in overtime) isn't sure what the Oilers have in mind for Hemsky, with the trade deadline Monday afternoon.
Should they deal Hemsky? "If Gretzky got traded, anybody can get traded," he said, with a smile.
"Whatever the management wants to do, they'll do it. Might be good for the team (trade), might be good for him," said Jagr. "He's got talent, if he goes to a different team, it would be like a new start. Maybe he could get 100 points. He's that skilled. Sometimes staying in one place won't help players. Maybe that's what he needs. I haven't asked him. I didn't see him play the last few years (because he was in Omsk). Last time we played together was the world championship three years ago."

Digital crisis or redemption? The uncomfortable truth about customer experienceBlog
The 2017 CX Benchmarking Report has just been released, marking 20 years of benchmarking in the contact centre and customer experience spaces. We've summarised some of the key statistics revealed in the report, but we encourage you to delve into the full report to ensure a full information set about how customer experience is changing the industry.
Digital dominance
The world has formed a digital skin, and it forever changes business, service, technology and commercial models. It's also challenging organisations to keep the pace with changing customer behaviour. Findings from the 2017 Global Customer Experience Benchmarking Report revealed that:
- 9 channel choices the norm, will rise to 11 by 2018; CX no1 driver for digital
- 76% forecast increases in assisted-service volumes; 76% a rise in fully automated contacts
- Virtual assistant (Chat bots) top growth focus in 2017; IoT to double
The full report explores additional digital dominance dimensions such as support services, digital transformation of CX in the next two years, and desired interaction split. It can be viewed in the full regional report.
Conscious journeys
Customers have wised up in a big way, and are more conscious of the journeys they take in their experience with brands. To keep the pace, customer journeys must be seamless, proactive, connected, automated and analysed. Omnichannel is a priority but the customer journey patterns need to be understood, designed and personalised.
Findings from this year's report show a rise in:
- Connecting customer journeys 2nd top factor to transforming CX in next 5 years; 83% already have some channels connected
- 67% can now track customer journeys in some form, of those 51% have automated processes available
However, decreases have been seen in some dimensions:
- 8% have all channels connected; Just another 30% have most connected
- 59% channels are being managed in silos; 47% channel data not actively shared between teams
- 72% fail to collect data to review and optimise journey patterns; 73% can't identify blockages in processes that will impact CX
The Asia Pacific regional report also explores tracking customer journeys across multiple channels, technology trends, omnichannel strategies, and the challenges involved in tracking customer journeys. It can be viewed in the full report.
Data supremacy
The importance of understanding and harnessing (mass) data is now critical to performance, the number one trend to reshape the industry – Analyse or Die. In Asia Pacific, this year's report findings include the following:
- Customer analytics was no1 factor towards positive improvement in last 5 years; it's been voted no1 for next 5 years
- Top benefit (63%) of analytics is improving customer journey
- 57% can now offer customised CX
- Only 51% have customer analytic systems; 35% possess Big Data analytic solutions
- 30% using analytics to inform channel/contact management strategy
- Just 47% have agent analytics; 27% of analytic systems don't meet current needs
This dimension also looks at trends that will shape CX in the next five years and what business information tools are available, and can be viewed in the full report.
Man versus machine
CX robotics in the form of automation, A.I. and IoT are creating a new reality, demanding a new approach. Human cost and productivity is challenged as these capabilities improve. The top 5 channel focus areas include:
- Virtual assistant (chat bots)
- Proactive automation
- Web chat
- IoT
- Video chat
*Phone volumes globally have dropped by 17% since 2015
This dimension also explores factors driving digital transformation, how technology meets current and future needs, and explores response and handle times. More can be viewed in the full report.

Adrian Tomine, who created last week's cover "Undeterred," just released "New York Drawings," a compilation of his work from The New Yorker and other places. In this intimate gallery of illustrations, sketches, comics, and covers—a selection of which appears in the slide show below—Tomine explores New York's culture and its passing moments, asking us to reflect on the city's quirks and tenderness. We talked to Adrian about his own experience as a native Californian who has nested in Brooklyn.
Where do you get your ideas for drawings and where do you find inspiration in the city? Is it in moments you witness, the people, a certain mood?
Most of my work—including everything from my own comics to the covers I've drawn for The New Yorker—is the result of taking some personal experience or observation and then fictionalizing it to a degree. I'm not one of those artists with an incredible imagination who can just make things up out of nothing, and I'm not the kind of person who would throw himself into some exciting or dangerous situation just to get material. So I tend to go about my normal, boring life, and just try to look at things a little more closely. And even though I've lived in New York for eight years now, I still feel like a recent transplant, and I think that's a big influence on how I see and draw the city.
What kind of place does drawing have in your relationship to the city?
Even though I'm usually not conscious of it, I think drawing has always served a sort of therapeutic purpose in my life. There's something about the process of translating the messy chaos of real life into a clean, simple drawing that's always been comforting to me. My wife is getting her PhD in psychology, so she'd probably have more insight into this than I do!
But I think it's a process that inevitably makes me feel closer to whatever it is I'm drawing, and that's certainly true of New York. I can't put that much work into drawing something without feeling some heightened level of connection afterwards. And this is true of anything I draw, including people, buildings, even something as unremarkable as a filthy subway entrance. I've drawn celebrities that I wasn't a fan of, and then afterwards, felt like, "Aw, they're not so bad!"
What is one of your favorite things about New York?
I love having access to so many great restaurants. I'm Japanese, but restaurants in my hometown served the most sanitized versions of California rolls. I grew up eating a lot of Japanese food at home that my parents or grandparents made. And then when I came here, I'd go into restaurants and find items on the menu that I thought no one even knew about—that I thought maybe my grandma had invented. Just the idea of a restaurant serving rice balls was totally alien to me. And I'm sure all New Yorkers just think of that as a standard item at a Japanese restaurant. But rice balls were something my mom used to pack for me in my lunch, and that I'd be sort of embarrassed to pull out of my lunchbox because everybody else was eating bologna sandwiches. So then to go into these hip restaurants and be asked, "Oh, do you want salmon or plum in that? And do you want it grilled or do you want it soft?" is amazing! Or similarly, I grew up eating those dried packets of "ochazuke" that you dump over the leftover rice and pour hot water on, and I loved it—and now, I go into a restaurant and have a freshly made version of it with good wasabi and fish broth… it's still a little mindblowing. And it doesn't have to be highbrow. I still get a kick out of going to Sunrise Mart and microwaving their bento boxes.
Where do you find yourself spending most of your time?
I used to justify the expenses of living here by experiencing all the amazing cultural offerings this city has: shows, exhibitions, concerts—but everything changes so much once you have a kid. Now, I sort of do those things in a hypothetical way. I look at the Goings On section of The New Yorker and take some comfort in the fact that, if I wanted to, I could be attending all these events…
Since having my daughter (she's now three), I've been walking a lot more. When she was a baby, I'd put her in a stroller and take a long walk, getting to know a lot of neighborhoods and their relationship to each other. I'd see that it wasn't that far to get from Fort Greene to Park Slope, from Park Slope to Carroll Gardens. And I think all of New York is sort of like that. You get this illusion that things are farther apart than they really are because you have to go through the trouble of going downstairs and waiting for the subway, and taking the train, and coming back up when it could've been a ten minute walk. There are also all kinds of stuff I wouldn't have ever experienced if I didn't have a kid to entertain, such as going to a puppet show or the zoo (we go to the little zoo in Prospect Park all the time).
What are some things that surprised you or struck you about the city when you moved here?
Where I grew up, there's a much clearer line of demarcation between the areas for the wealthy people and the areas for the poorer people, as well as other distinct divisions. Of course, they exist in New York too, but there's just not enough space to have ten miles of barren land between one another; everybody is stepping on each other's toes all the time. How people manage that can be off-putting or intimidating to me—on the other hand, it can be surprisingly considerate and helpful. It's odd for me to even say this, but there have been more times where I've seen or been involved in scenarios in New York that I could describe as heartwarming, in many ways.
This one time, my wife and I were walking home from dinner when we saw a man get suddenly attacked by a group of five or six teenagers, and it turned out to be a pretty bad physical altercation. But within minutes, before I could even start to get out my cell phone, doors of nearby buildings swung open and residents came running out of their houses. One enormous guy (who looked like he should be a bouncer at a club) had one of the kids on the ground with his foot on his chest. In other cities, people might look out from behind their curtains nervously and start calling the cops, but I sense a willingness to get involved here that I don't see everywhere else… maybe even a positive peer pressure, as though there are so many eyes upon you that you're almost guilted into behaving properly, which is unusual.
Do you remember when you first felt at home in the city?
I have one very vivid memory: when I used to visit New York, I would come in for vacation and visit friends, and always spend the entire time in Manhattan. But when I met my wife—I actually came out from California to go on our first date—she was living in Brooklyn, on Bergen St. near Flatbush. We took the subway there, and I just remember it being so dramatic to go from the frenetic, noisy bustle of Manhattan and to come up out of the subway and be in a neighborhood that was extremely quiet and peaceful. I was taken by how beautiful the streets were: the brownstones, all the trees that were up above. I think, in that moment, there was the first glimmer in my mind that Brooklyn could possibly be a place I'd want to live after being on the West Coast my entire life.
"Society Dictates," The New Yorker, February 5, 2001. For a review by David Denby of the film "In the Mood for Love."
"Road Trips," The New Yorker, October 8, 2001. For a review by Anthony Lane of the film "Mulholland Drive."
"Monk Business," The New Yorker, March 22, 2004. For a "Goings on About Town" listing: a performance of the music of Thelonious Monk at Iridium.
"Missed Connection," cover of the November 8, 2004 issue. "This was my first cover, and it's still probably my best-known drawing. Art Editor Françoise Mouly was very involved with the early, conceptual stage of the process, offering advice, suggestions, and criticism of each sketch I submitted. After re-working and eventually abandoning at least ten different ideas, I finally came upon this one, and it was like Françoise's work was done. She left me to draw the finished piece without any further input, and that's the artwork that ended up on the cover. The main thing that Françoise stressed throughout the process was that the image should contain at least a kernel of a story—not necessarily a 'gag,' but something beyond just a pretty picture—and I think it's that quality that made this drawing resonate with people."
"My Ex-Barber," The New Yorker, May 2, 2005. "This was the first comic of mine that the magazine published. It was an entirely hypothetical dialogue with my old barber in Berkeley. It actually suggests a much chummier rapport than I had with the real guy, and I'm sure that for all the years he cut my hair, he never knew what I did for a living. To my absolute surprise, I was informed that shortly after this was published, a framed copy of this page appeared on the wall of the barber shop, and remained there until the barber retired several years later."
"International Incident," cover of the December 26, 2005 & January 2, 2006 issue. Published as "Around the World." "Based on some sketches I made while waiting for an extremely delayed flight at J.F.K."
"Sneakerheads," unpublished, March, 2005. For an article about obsessive sneaker aficionados in New York.
"Bored of Tourism," cover of the June 11 & 18, 2007 issue. Published as "Big City Thrills." "This image was inspired by an actual scene I noticed one day up by Rockefeller Center, but the appearance of the girl with the book was based on my wife's sister, who, at the time, was exactly the kind of preternaturally mature, cultured teenager I was trying to depict."
"Landscape Artist," The New Yorker, April 16, 2007. For a review by Nancy Franklin of the 'This American Life' television series.
"Shelf Life," cover of the February 25, 2008 issue. "When I submitted this idea, I![#analytics: final]|||||| knew that it was a long-shot, especially since it was intended for a book-themed issue. I remember thinking, 'They'd never put a goofy comic strip with a cynical punch line like that on the cover of The New Yorker!'"
"Read-Handed," cover of the June 9 & 16, 2008 issue. "I've been privy to quite a few interpretations of my various New Yorker covers, and this one might've elicited the broadest range. I got letters or emails from at least five different bookstore owners—from cities across the country—who were convinced that it was their shop I had depicted. And no, they didn't mean it in a metaphorical or symbolic context…they were absolutely sure I had stood outside their shop and drawn it. (For the record, it was based on an apartment building and bookstore on Bergen Street, in Brooklyn.) I received some pretty heartfelt letters from struggling independent booksellers who saw the image as a stinging indictment of the 'consumer trend' towards online book-buying."
"Dr. Kush," The New Yorker, July 28, 2008. For an article by David Samuels about the medical marijuana industry in California.
"Winter Break," cover of the February 2, 2009 issue.
"Double Feature," cover of the August 24, 2009 issue. "At the time that I drew this, everyone I knew was going to these outdoor movie screenings near the Brooklyn Bridge, so my perception of how well this image would be understood was probably a little skewed. I remember trying to explain it to a West Coast relative, and their response was, 'Okay, but what's so funny about that?' The people who organized the film series were very appreciative, and they projected my artwork on the screen the following week. They invited me to attend and maybe say a few words, but here's the thing I couldn't tell them: I actually hate sitting in the grass in extreme humidity, trying to watch a movie while everyone around me is eating and talking!"
"Adaptation," cover of the February 15 & 22, 2010 issue. "Sometimes the whole is not greater than the sum of its parts. For the annual 'Eustace Tilley' cover, The New Yorker enlisted Ivan Brunetti, Dan Clowes, Chris Ware, and myself to each draw a 'variant' cover for the same issue. Not only were the covers supposed to interact conceptually, but when arranged next to each other in a particular way, would subtly form one giant 'Eustace.' Confused? So was I, as were probably at least a few of the magazine's readers. I was honored to be a part of this noble experiment, but, to use a musical analogy, it seemed clear that this was not the inception of a 'supergroup,' and the four of us swiftly resumed our 'solo careers.'"
"Exiled," cover of July 26, 2010. "I submitted a very rough sketch of this idea, drawing without any kind of reference, and Françoise accepted it with the caveat that New Yorker readers were sticklers for detail and we'd have to make sure the background was accurate. A fair amount of research and discussion ensued, taking into consideration everything from the directional flow of traffic to the visibility of the city skyline. I finally based the background on a view of the Kosciuszko Bridge from somewhere near Maspeth, Queens. Shortly after this cover was published, The New Yorker received a letter that read: "Your July 26, 2010 cover showing a young girl going on vacation looking out the back window not safely strapped in is the height of irresponsibility. Should there be an accident the mother will not be smiling."

Intralipid is one of the most exciting recent developments in clinical toxicology (right up there with high-dose insulin euglycemic therapy, aka HIET). We are rightly skeptical of any new therapy, especially one that promises so much. Nevertheless, many of the animal studies and published case reports are quite dramatic.
For instance, this video shows the left ventricular pressure and electrocardiogram tracings of an intact, anesthetized rat during acute bupivacaine cardiotoxicity and successful recovery with a lipid emulsion infusion.
WARNING: you may develop optokinetic nystagmus watching this!
The Poison Review recently commented on the first published case describing the clinical use of intralipid in reversing propanolol toxicity. Importantly, some of the caveats in interpreting this type of report are highlighted. Nevertheless, it's well worth remembering intralipid as a last-ditch measure for the resuscitation of a patients with cardiotoxicity induced by a lipophilic drug.
You can find out more about intralipid from its major proponents at lipidrescue.org. They suggest the use of intralipid when standard resuscitation methods fail to re-establish sufficient circulatory stability. Their suggested treatment protocol (with my comments in brackets) is as follows:
20% Intralipid
- 1.5 mL/kg as an initial bolus
(e.g. about 100 mL in a 70kg adult)
followed by
- 0.25 mL/kg/min for 30-60 minutes
(e.g. about 600 mL over 30 minutes in a 70kg adult)
- Bolus could be repeated 1-2 times for persistent asystole
(e.g. at 5 minute intervals)
- Infusion rate could be increased if blood pressure declines
(e.g. double the infusion rate)
Most importantly, however, we must remember to do the basics right — maintain effective CPR throughout — and don't give up! Good neurological outcomes can be achieved even with hours of CPR in the setting of cardiotoxic poisoning.

Again, I really hope the M's aren't primarily motivated by money here. Pax heading out for prospects makes sense purely on a talent window basis... if you don't expecct to complete in '19 and aren't sure about '20, getting prospects for Pax makes sense w/o worrying about the $9m Pax is cashing this year.
Still, I *really* hope JeDi knows something the rest of the world doesn't about the haul he got back for Maple. I don't like deals where you're relying on your GM being the smartest guy in the room for it to balance right.

Louisa Marks
Apologies to anyone who attended the Louisa Marks tribute at The Fridge on Sunday 13th December 2009 expecting to see Omar.
This situation arose due to lack of communication by the promoter/team. We were initially contacted but the date wasn't confirmed and we never heard back from the promoter until the Friday before the show so we were under the impression that Omar wasn't booked as we hadn't drawn up an agreement which is our business policy or discussed/agreed terms. We spoke to the promoter and confirmed that Omar would not be performing. However it was after this conversation that we found out that Omar's name had been advertised as appearing on the night.
Please understand that this whole situation happened without agreement from omar or his management. But sincere apologies to those who attended under false pretences and for any inconvenience caused. Although we're sure you would have had a great night anyway being entertained by a huge line up. As the whole reason for this event was the important factor which was to pay tribute to one of Lovers Rocks great artists Louisa Marks who sadly passed away recently.

I love reading books, especially about fashion and style. Nowadays it is so easy to be up-to-date on current fashion trends – subscribe to newsletters, check out your Instagram, search for ideas on Pinterest, have a look at latest fashion magazine editions. This list is endless. Nevertheless the books don't lose their value – they are the classical way of getting into the world of fashionistas.
Here I picked up some books from my bookshelf that inspired me at some point in my life. P.S. I have listed the books in chronological order by publishing date, they are not ranked.
- Parisian Chic: A Style Guide by Ines de la Fressange Paperback (Published: Apr 5 2011; Authors: Ines de la Fressange, Sophie Gachet)
Ines de la Fressange is a French ex-model, fashion designer and style icon of her generation. The book is a one evening easy read but with useful addresses in Paris where to buy really nice things. It is like a city guide with the information what and where to buy in Paris.I appreciate a French style of Madam Fressange, but I found the book a bit old-fashioned. Probably it was intentionally done, because even the images in the book look like from the 90s. That's why I felt a little disappointed after reading. Most likely I was burdened with expectations of the collaboration of style icon Ines de la Fressange and fashion journalist Sophie Gachet. Anyway if you like French way of doing things, you'll like this book.
- Lessons from Madame Chic: 20 Stylish Secrets I Learned While Living in Paris (Published: Nov 6 2012; Author: Jennifer L. Scott)
I love this book. It is simple. There isn't something absolutely new, but the author makes the reader to think about everyday life from the different perspective. At the time when most people are obsessed with buying new things (Jennifer names it modern materialism), it is so important to stop ourselves and value what we already have. The author also discusses the question of "nothing to wear" and shows her solution to this problem – 10 item wardrobe. If you like the idea of 10 item wardrobe you could also check out her youtube channel. She is not a fashion blogger and she is not pretending to be, therefore her book and videos are simple but full of useful tips to live the better quality life almost for everyone.
- How to Be Parisian Wherever You Are: Love, Style, and Bad Habits (Published: Sep 2 2014; Authors: Anne Berest, Audrey Diwan, Caroline De Maigret, Sophie Mas)
I would say that this book is very stylish, with short stories about French women everyday routine. Don't be serious while reading this book :-). It is entertaining read, you feel like chatting with your best girlfriend. Recommended!
- How to Get Dressed: A Costume Designer's Secrets for Making Your Clothes Look, Fit, and Feel Amazing (Published: Apr 14 2015; Author: Alison Freer)
Alison Freer is a costume designer for TV shows in LA, she has a great experience to share with the readers. However if you are looking for the advice what to wear and look amazing, you'll not find the answers to your questions. Author discusses the topics like how to store your clothes, how to take care of them, how to organize your wardrobe. She also shares some tips how to look more presentable, like – taking your clothes to the tailor could change your life. To sum it up – the most practical book I have ever read. Alison is giving advices with a sense of humor and that is great. Good mood is guaranteed. I would require more pictures or photos in this book, since at some point it is difficult to understand author's advices.
- The Curated Closet: A Simple System for Discovering Your Personal Style and Building Your Dream Wardrobe (Published: Sep 20 2016; Author: Anuschka Rees)
If you are seriously thinking to start building your wardrobe that reflects your true style this book is awesome! There are so many tips how to create your personal style and build the wardrobe of your dream. What I liked about this book that it is not asking you to recreate the standard capsule wardrobe with black dress, cardigan, classic jeans and so on. The author very professionally asking you to think what is your own capsule wardrobe, without emphasizing the need to focus on general rules. Step by step following the tips in the book you are getting closer to your dream wardrobe!
What is your recent reads about Style & Fashion? Which book did you enjoy the most?
