Measuring popularity is often a matter of opinion rather than hard facts.
Guidelines there may be but little in the way of proof.
Until you put someone's reputation on the line, of course, by trying to sell him to the public.
Well, Gazza may be in the twilight of a glittering and in some ways unique career but the warmth of feeling for soccer's massively gifted Clown Prince is undiminished.
When he agreed to do a fund-raising dinner to keep alive his home-town club Gateshead I was told that an April 16 deadline was too close, with Easter also intervening, to raise a respectable audience at £30 a head.
Yet Dunston Federation Breweries, the venue for the event, were so inundated with calls that they could hardly cope and within the first 24 hours got rid of 500-plus tickets - the fastest selling sports dinner they've ever had, I'm reliably informed.
Such has been the demand that we're printing 100 extra tickets for the balcony to raise the capacity to 700!
It was the same when Alan Shearer did a talk-in for Gateshead at St James's Park - we sold out in 24 hours. The Geordies rule, ok.
Tickets are still available for Gazza, of course, but they are selling like hot cakes so if you wish to see one of the most popular footballers of his generation on what is a one-off occasion then be quick. It'll be a real night of surprises.

Why is a dental exam important?
As you sit in the dentist's chair looking up at the posters on the ceiling, do you
ever wonder what the dentist is doing? Do you actually know what are they
looking for? It turns out most of us do not.
The dental examination begins with the collection of your complete medical
history. Understanding your medical history can provide the dentist with vital
information on any health condition you may have which can ultimately impact
the success of any dental treatments.
Radiographs (x-rays) are also taken and studied so that the dentist can see things
not seen by the naked eye. Having the visual of the inside of your teeth, the
condition of your roots and areas between your teeth, help the dentist determine
bone loss, root health and the indication of any cysts or growths than may affect
your overall oral health.
Next a full visual scan of the teeth is done, comparing what is seen with what
appears on the x-rays. The dentist checks not only the teeth and gums, but also
other soft tissues. Knowing the condition of the gums and seeing any signs of as
periodontal disease, provides information on the overall health of the supporting
structure (gums) that can lead to loosening of the teeth and potential bone and/or
tooth loss.
The exam continues by checking other areas such as the tongue, roof of the
mouth (palate) and floor of the mouth for any visible signs of inflammation or
bleeding. Looking for signs of white lesions or oral cancer and/or suspicious
growths or blocked salivary glands, are an essential part of this dental exam.
Your dentist will also check the general condition of the bones in the face, jaws
and around the mouth. In doing so, the dentist has a clear picture of the overall
function of your temporomandibular joint (joint that joins your jaw to the skull) and
other areas such as the overall health of your sinus cavity.
Dentists will also examine your neck area, feeling the glands and lymph nodes for
possible signs of inflammation which could be an indicator of other general health
conditions. The glands in the neck area are prominent gateways to the rest of
your general overall health.
The dentist is also looking for many other things such as, cavities, damaged or
missing teeth, restorations in the mouth such as root canals or crowns and the
positioning of the teeth.
Dentists have the opportunity explain what they are doing during the examination
and provide you with a summary of their findings when they are finished. If the
examination reveals a problem that requires treatment, there should be a two-way
discussion on the options available. If your dentist identifies a problem that is
complex or requires specialized treatment; the dentist may refer you to a dental
specialist. Patients, as an active part of your oral health team, are encouraged to
ask questions.

Generally, I was pleased with the amount of space that the cube saved and how many items that I was able to stuff into the compartments. I also liked how I could add drawer inserts if I chose to, however I felt the white cube did not fit well with my mirrored, silver fabulous furniture. Therefore, I decided to customize it to match. Using the same Martha Stewart paint that I used to customize the display case, I painted the cube antique silver using primer and sealer to finish it off! Check out the link for where to buy and the before and after pics!
These cubes can be used for anything, are inexpensive and easy to put together and we now know they can be customized to match any decor! I even think u can add furniture studs along the sides to take them up a notch! That may be my next DIY!

The Ascent of a Woman
Summary:SOMETHING happens when Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton enters a crowded room. People quickly draw a circle around her, cameras begin to flash frenetically and the entire center of gravity of the place moves toward the woman in the pantsuit.
It was like that at a gala dinner celebrating female leaders here Thursday night, but with a difference: Mrs. Clinton was not the presidential woman everyone was there to see.
Instead, she took the stage to acknowledge Geena Davis, the actress who played an American president in the television show "Commander in Chief," and then she welcomed the guest of honor, Michelle Bachelet, the newly inaugurated president of Chile.
For a brief through-the-looking-glass moment, Mrs. Clinton had to defer — to a fictional female president, and to a foreign real one.
"Geena Davis starred in one of my absolute favorite dramas — of course I'm talking about 'A League of Their Own,' " Mrs. Clinton said in her introduction, referring to the 1992 chick flick about an all-female baseball team, drawing titters from a crowd of political women all too familiar with the senator's presumed presidential aspirations. Of Ms. Bachelet, Mrs. Clinton said, "I was told that she was running for president and I thought to myself, 'Good for her.' "
The appearance put into relief a fundamental reality of the looming Clinton candidacy. No matter how singular a figure she may be, Mrs. Clinton, if she runs for president, will do so in a country that trails behind a growing list of others in electing women to the highest office, a country that recently dumped its Hollywood version ("Commander in Chief" was suspended from the ABC lineup last fall, then canceled outright last month). Although polls show most Americans say they are willing to vote for a woman — more than 90 percent of those surveyed would do so for the right candidate — far fewer, about 55 percent, believe the country as a whole is ready for a female president. Broadly, the data suggest that there is a lingering awkwardness toward women at the tip-top of political power, both on screen and off.
The same cannot be said for the rest of the world. For decades now, countries from Pakistan to Israel to India to Britain have been elevating women to the role of chief executive, a phenomenon that Mrs. Clinton's supporters are studying closely as they lay the groundwork for 2008.
Entire organizations — including the White House Project, which sponsored the dinner for Ms. Bachelet — have been formed to figure out why the United States has yet to elect a woman as president, with a particular emphasis on examining the role of the media and popular culture.
There are countless theories, chief among them that the right candidate hasn't come along, which would seem to explain everything and nothing. Invoking this reasoning, some of Mrs. Clinton's detractors maintain that if she loses, her sex will have little to do with it — that it will be more about Iraq, or Clinton fatigue, or what they call her polarizing effect.
Those who study the larger trend, however, say there are concrete reasons no woman has ever come close to winning the American presidency. There are fewer political dynasties here of the sort that have given women the stamp of authority elsewhere, like the Bhuttos in Pakistan or the Ghandis in India. (Mrs. Clinton, of course, is a product of a mini-dynasty).
The electoral system here is more challenging than a parliamentary one, in which a woman (Margaret Thatcher in Britain, Golda Meir in Israel) is elected only by members of her own party, not the entire electorate.
Then there is the political pipeline in the United States, which now, with 8 female governors out of 50, and 14 female senators of 100, still offers a limited number of experienced candidates for the presidency.
"There are very few women in the pool when you think about it," said Debbie Walsh, director of the Center for American Women and Politics at the Eagleton Institute of Politics at Rutgers University. "The pool that candidates tend to come from in this country are U.S. senators and governors, and until recently we've had very few women in those positions. That's something that's really held us back. It's the whole pipeline that's been problematic, and frankly, our pipeline hasn't been doing that well lately."
Yet such statistics, long the foundation for conventional wisdom about the plight of women in politics, may not fully explain the resistance. Experts who scratch their heads over how many women are elected as chief executives elsewhere — including Ms. Bachelet, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf in Liberia and Angela Merkel in Germany — point to sociological and cultural reasons why Mrs. Clinton is one of only a few women to have been viewed seriously as a presidential candidate. Ms. Walsh said American society has "not yet raised a generation of girls growing up and thinking, 'I can be president of the United States someday.' "
Marie Wilson, president of the White House Project, who spent years before "Commander in Chief" urging Hollywood to make a fictional account of a female president, said the public is still putting women on pedestals — and will only accept a female president whom voters consider flawless, more so than a man, an almost impossible standard.
"Frankly, the social and cultural ideal of women in America hasn't shifted as fast as the realities of women's roles," Ms. Wilson said. "When one woman is up there, we start to project all this stuff onto her of, 'Is she perfect?' That's why I was hoping Geena Davis would be on television long enough to make some really bad mistake."
And yet it is in Hollywood where some of the strongest resistance toward Mrs. Clinton can be found these days. Increasingly politicized, overwhelmingly liberal (and, for whatever reason, frequently asked to express a political choice), the entertainment industry has not embraced Mrs. Clinton as warmly as it did her husband. Some fear she would be the third Democratic loser in a row: George Clooney recently called her "the most polarizing figure in American politics," later saying that he meant it as a neutral observation rather than a warning.
Other celebrities have given voice to more far-flung fears. Sharon Stone said in a magazine interview that was widely repeated in gossip columns that Mrs. Clinton, age 58, still has "sexual power" and should not run for president until it's gone. Kathleen Turner, interviewed while in London starring in a play, expressed her doubts about Mrs. Clinton's presumed candidacy, saying Americans "don't want a celebrity woman president."
Martha Stewart, for her part, recently tried to balance the score, saying on CNBC that people "misunderstand Hillary and her stability," which has "helped keep the government stable."
Perhaps the most forceful Clinton criticism in Hollywood has come from liberals opposed to her vote authorizing the 2003 invasion of Iraq. The actress Susan Sarandon, who went so far as to endorse Mrs. Clinton's long-shot anti-war Democratic opponent for her Senate re-election in November, Jonathan Tasini, accused the senator of lacking principles. Ms. Sarandon said in an interview on British television that she would prefer "somebody that really has a moral bottom line, be they a man or a woman."
Yet to Mrs. Clinton's supporters, as well as some students of gender and politics, therein may lie the rub. As much as any other factor, they say, women who are seen as tough, especially in military affairs, have dominated elections around the globe. Certainly that was true for Mrs. Thatcher, the "Iron Lady" who warned her allies not to "go wobbly" on her, and Mrs. Meir, who led Israel through the Yom Kippur war of 1973. And the triumph by Ms. Bachelet, a former defense minister in Chile whose father was an Air Force general, has been widely interpreted as a signal that female candidates require an extra show of strength.
But will Americans be seeking a tough leader at the next presidential juncture? Must a woman really be hawkish — as Ms. Davis's character was on "Commander in Chief"? Or will voters, as the prominent commentator Arianna Huffington maintains, be looking for someone with much less swagger?
"There's no question that art and politics intersect at many points and there have been artistic movie archetypes driving American politics for a long time," said Ms. Huffington, a critic of Mrs. Clinton's, pointing to Hollywood cowboys as the inspiration for the Reagan and Bush presidencies. "My sense of the public, of the zeitgeist, is that people are done with the John Wayne archetype; it is exhausted."
Nonetheless, she added, "I do not believe Hillary is going to be the beneficiary of that."
In her view, Mrs. Clinton is making a mistake by continuing to support the war in Iraq, to the extent that she is mollifying voters nervous about a female candidate.
"I really don't think gender is the issue," Ms. Huffington said. "It depends on how authentic the candidate is. I think that is going to be the key in 2008: I think authenticity and the willingness to stand for something unambiguously, especially on something like the war, will transcend any issue like gender in the red states."
That, at least, is the most idealistic view but so far it is only a concept, in Hollywood, and beyond.

Santa Monica-Malibu School District Master Plan
Concordia, in partnership with Harley Ellis Devereaux Architects in Los Angeles, conducted an educational facilities master plan for the Santa Monica/Malibu Unified School District in Santa Monica, California. The project began with a citywide visioning conference where parents, students, educators and administrators were presented a wide range of best practices in educational facilities planning and design.
The key component of the planning process was an extensive community engagement program with neighborhood meetings throughout the district. Some of the major concepts included smaller schools and schools as centers of community, including the development of individual site plans for every school site. At the community meetings, local residents used drawings and massing models to develop these site plans as part of the active engagement process. In the master plan, Concordia worked to enhance connections between the school district and the City of Santa Monica around opportunities for joint use and co-location of school programs and facilities.

I know this is a pretty late post - I was meant to do it aggggess ago but kept putting it off for some reason. Anyway, seen as the January sales are still going on (most with 75% off!) I thought I'd show you some of my best buys this Jan.
First up, I went a bit mad in the River Island sale and got some fab buys. I went online as soon as the sale came on (at like 8 in the morning) and had the pick of everything.... I went on later in the day and all the good stuff was gone! I got this gorgeous tartan satchel for £15 reduced from about £35, and the cardigan I've wanted for AGES for £15 as well, reduced from £39.99 (although I'm not sure if it's gone back up to full price now?!)
I have a silly amount of jewellery already but I couldn't resist getting these beauties. I think I'm just going to have to admit defeat and realise I just can't stop buying jewellery! The peacock necklace was £10 reduced from a whopping £49.99 (madness) and the pearl necklace was £8 reduced from £29.99. I got a peacock ring for £4 (£12.99 originally) and a butterfly ring for £4 (originally £14.99)
Now, I'm not really a big fan of Next. I don't dislike it, I just never really find much in there. I did however spot some beautiful shoes a few weeks before Christmas for £40 and seriously debated getting them. I decided against it though and thank goodness I did, as I found this pair sitting happily on the shelf a few days after the half-price sale IN MY SIZE. I think it was fate and had to get them. They're a beautiful velvet material and covered in gorgeous gems. I. Love. Them.
I actually found these a couple of days ago in the Accessorize sale with 70% off. I definitely recommend you keep popping in to Accessorize even when it looks like all the good stuff is gone, because these hadn't been in the sale before a couple of days ago and already are reduced such a lot. I think all together these two cost me less than a fiver, when usually they'd be £15 all together!
Finally, meet Pooh. I bought this little cutie on Christmas day would you believe it, in the ASOS sale. I'd wanted him for weeks before when he was £52 and I'd waited in the hope I'd get him on the big day. I didn't however, so when I saw him reduced to £33.50 I jumped at the chance. The only annoying thing is I had to wait several weeks after Christmas for him to come, as ASOS's saver delivery is ridiculously slow. It's free however, so can't really complain. I love everything about this necklace - his little arms and legs even move! Disney Couture is by far my favourite jewellery brand, the amount of detail they put in is ridiculous. I'm sure you've heard of the brand before, but if not, definitely check them out.
I think by far the best sale this year has got to be River Island. Buying it online was SO much easier than in the store, I absolutely hate River Island at sale time in the shop as everything is usually all over the place, and I hate scrambling around to get a look at the clothes. Topshop let me down big time; everything sold out on the website straight away (well what did I expect?) but the in store sale was SO disappointing. I literally couldn't find anything I liked.
What did all you girls manage to get hold of in the sales? Did you think they were good this year or a bit of a let down?

MedTrust Capital medical practice financing to doctors, optometrists, dentists and other medical professionals. These are loans to start or expand a practice. MedTrust Capital came to us with the need of ranking better nationally for keyword phrases in their niche. Their site was in good shape and had a good foundation for growth.
We went in and identified the best, highest volume keyword phrases, as well as keywords where we felt there were opportunities to be had. We also noticed that they had a tremendous amount of duplicate content. We went in and re-wrote each page to make it unique and avoid this duplication penalty.
We also made sure to get their off-site optimization in line by listing them with the various data aggregators and updating their social media profiles.
This project has just finished. We'll be reporting the results as they come in. We're hoping for great strides in ranking and increased traffic.

Monitoring Vital Parameters of Research Data
In this design exercise, I'll be improving a hypothetical workflow of an animal lab and focusing on the monitoring part of problems. I created the first iteration of wireframes and Hi-Fi mockups of the solution. This includes rough wireframes of most important web page sections, Hi-Fi screens of "Overview" section, solutions for monitoring vital parameters of animal data, managing animal data, accessibility tests, and more.
Task and Problems
We have a current data set: foxes, rabbits, wolves, elephants and bats. All of them have a color, they are either awake or asleep and they are walking or sitting at home. For each animal it should be possible adjust the color and tail size, monitor the temperature of the nose and texture of the fur. User 1 and User 2 maintain the animals and their information. They can create new ones and alter and delete the existing ones. User 1 makes sure the animals are healthy, not hungry or thirsty and go outside at least once a day. Wolves hate the sunlight but need a lot of space and rabbits cannot be out at the same time as wolves or foxes. User 2 adjusts tail sizes and colors once in a while and fur textures every 2 weeks. User 2 also orders all the food supplies every month and needs immediate updates on births and deaths.
Sketch App, Abstract, Principle for Mac, Adobe Photoshop.
I usually start my process by identifying the basic goals, narrowing down main priorities of users, identifying fears, motives, and problems. Let's write those down:
- Display animal location, its activity, and health parameters
- Give users fast and easy way to control the animal data
- Make sure there's a fast and clear way for adjusting animal's appearance
- Fulfil basic requirements of accessibility
- User 1 – needs to monitor data, manage animals, adjust appearance, track supplies, births and deaths
- User 2 – his priorities is to monitor vital data first, taking care of animals compatibility
- User 3 – his priorities is to have an easy way of adjusting animal's appearance and taking care of supplies, tracking births and deaths.
- Missing out on important vital information
- Need to adjust appearance very fast
- Animal compatibility
- Tracking births/deaths
- Tracking food supplies.
- Automize routine process
- Prevent danger situations
- Clear animal status awareness
- Increased productivity
- Overwhelming interface
- Animals health risk
- Last-minute decisions
- Find out basic sources of anxiety/stress during monitoring or managing data
Keep in mind:
- One view that is always prominent for monitoring the most vital information
- Customizable view of the tables
- Streamlined and interconnected workflow and views.
Let's look at the problem again and define the end goal of our solution. In this case, it all comes down to making sure that the animals are safe and healthy. The need of the dashboard is crucial for monitoring the data. I started with laying down the main elements of the Overview screen, keeping in mind that it will be the focal point of the animal status, that can be checked in a very easy manner when needed.
Designing this view must provide a sense of clarity, simplicity, and trust for our users. So, creating an interface that is not overwhelming, simple and intuitive is a must, as well as the experience that can ensure that the user is aware of the animal status, health, etcetera, and knows clearly how the platform behaves and functions.
First I started with defining sections of the application taking into consideration Hick's and Gestalt's law. By focusing and narrowing down the needs it all came down to these 4 sections:
Overview: Displays the vital information of the animals from which it can be managed individually (adding, editing, deleting), and some streamlined actions as (changing fur texture instantly via popovers). Animals are grouped into foldable raws and later added animal head icons for better accessibility (Gestalt's law). When unfolded, users can have a more detailed view from which they can observe the situation and make primary actions. All columns are grouped and categorized based on Hick's law.
Dressing Room: Displays and provides control of animal appearance where you can adjust 3 parameters: tail color, tail size, fur texture. The table is grouped and provides the similar view as in Overview.
Gate Control: Displays gate control to the backyard (outside) which can provide an automized control depending on the time of the day, animal compatibility, animal needs.
Refrigerator: Displays amount of food supplies and provides basic to track and order functionality.
First explorations of the modular layout
Keeping in mind that our first #1 premise is to provide vital animal information first, and having the basic necessities for the layout described above ready, I started by putting the basic data parameters into a table and after having basic action controls and vital information on another side of the table taking into account Z-pattern of reading data and enhancing user experience (see final mockups). Having all the vital data and controls in one place is a must to be accessible. Therefore, it is aligned to the right side of the table.
Having those paradigms ready, it will be easy to use and control data in the other sections of the application.
Also, having the modular system of the panels lets me add quickly new panels or features and scale the product seamlessly and effortlessly for both users and developers.
Early iterations of Overview section
Final Hi-Fi mockups
Color blindness test – Simulations of deuteranomaly, protanomaly, and tritanomaly (left to right)
Final thoughts
All great comes and evolves through a vast amount of iterations and design cycles and user testing.
Some of the things I missed or felt rushed:
- User research and iterative prototyping is a crucial role in this process, so I kind of "eyeballed" a few things to save time
- I hit the time ceiling very fast after getting a taste of the process and didn't have enough of time mastering on animations, which actually wasn't a priority of the assignment
- Lack of time to focus on the streamlined flow
- Doubts about sorting data in the table. That's why I put a table toggle for grouped/ungrouped views.
- Implemented a lot of elements that users a familiar with or learn to use very quickly
- Didn't focus enough on the most important part of the process – reducing user interaction by automizing the solution. Not so much thoughts were put as what the exact user scenarios are.

How to Do the Texas Two-Step. The Texas two-step is danced with two quick steps and two slow steps. After reading this eHow you'll be equipped with the basic knowledge of dancing the Texas two-step. Practice it at home and after you've learned it it's time to go show off what you've learned to some country tunes.
Stand with your feet together facing your partner.
Put your right hand on your partner's waist.
Put your left hand out to your side with your arm slightly bent.
Gently grasp your partner's hand.
Wait for the music to start.
On the first beat, step forward quickly with your left foot.
On the second beat, step forward quickly with your right foot.
On the third beat, step forward again with your left foot, but slowly.
Pause through the fourth beat.
On the fifth beat, step forward slowly with your right foot.
Pause through the sixth beat, then pull your left foot even with your right.
Place your left hand on the leader's right shoulder.
Bend your right elbow and place the palm of your right hand lightly on his outstretched palm.
Do the opposite of what your partner does. Move your right foot back when the leader moves his left foot forward on the first beat.
Continue following the directions for the leader, but in reverse - stepping back with your left foot when he steps forward with his right.
Don't pick up your feet much. You want your feet to glide across the floor. See Resources for a link to a video clip of the two-step
This isn't as easy as it looks.

Simple Little Vegan Slow Cooker Lasagna
There are so many wonderful things about the slow cooker, and every year around this time, its appeal returns to me. It's perfect for thick, hearty stews and brothy soups. But the best thing about the slow cooker? Dinner is ready on time and I didn't have to do a single thing, because I did it that morning, and even then the recipes are usually so easy. When Book Publishing Company sent me The Simple Little Vegan Slow Cooker, I couldn't wait to drag my slow cooker out from hibernation. The book is filled with quick vegan recipes to throw together on your way out the door (if you're okay with leaving the slow cooker on while you're out) or in the morning when you know the family has a busy night ahead. All the recipes have just a few ingredients, and while they call for mostly canned, frozen, and packaged items I don't tend to keep around much, I've had no trouble substituting fresh ingredients so far. I think this cookbook is very handy to have around, especially if you're tired, overworked, and spend most evenings contemplating a fast food run just to keep you out of the kitchen. And we all have our too-busy-to-even-preheat-an-oven nights!
The first recipe I tried from The Simple Little Vegan Slow Cooker, All-in-One Lasagne (page 28), was very tasty! I put it together after breakfast, and by lunch I had a simple lasagna ready to serve. I was nervous about having a soggy mess or broken teeth from undercooked crunch, but 4 hours in the slow cooker left the dish just perfect. Here is an example of a recipe that called for all for all frozen vegetables, but I had complete success with fresh. I don't think I even knew you could buy frozen mushrooms. The kids (my little man and the 1 year old I babysit) both really loved this lasagna as well! I vainly am not so sure I would serve it to company because it just doesn't turn out pretty, but that's perfectly fine because we have a whole lot more family meals than meals with guests. I'm including the recipe as written, but as I mentioned, I did have success with fresh produce, and I also added diced onions. The recipe is written for a slightly smaller crock pot than I have, so I just used fewer layers than I imagine the author used.
All-in-One Lasagne
- 2 cups tomato sauce
- 4-5 lasagne noodles
- 1 cup frozen sliced mushrooms
- 1 1/2 cups frozen chopped spinach
- 2 cups vegan burger crumbles
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
Place a small amount of the tomato sauce in the bottom of a slow cooker, just enough to cover the bottom. Break the lasagne noodles into 2 or 3 pieces so that they will fit in the slow cooker. Place a later of the broken noodles on top of the sauce. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of the sauce over the noodles. Add the mushrooms. Place the second later of broken noodles over the mushrooms. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the sauce and half of the spinach. Add a third later of broken noodles and 1 cup of the burger crumbles. Sprinkle with the minced garlic and Italian seasonings. Continue layering until all the ingredients are gone. Cook on low for at least 4 hours to give the pasta time to cook. Cooking longer than 6 hours, however, could make the pasta soggy. The water in the frozen vegetables will help cook the pasta. You may want to separately heat a little extra tomato sauce to pass when serving the lasagne.
What's your favorite slow cooker recipe? Feel free to include a link!
Looks great. I am going to give this a try. Thanks for the post.
Awesome! I just got a slow cooker and am wondering what else to make besides stew–I'm going to try this with the walnut-cauliflower "ground meat" I read about here (http://www.dietdessertndogs.com/2010/07/26/getting-to-the-meat-of-the-matter-meaty-spinach-pesto-lasagna/).
My favorite thing to throw in the slow cooker is chili! It is delicious and you can put just about any of your favorite ingredients into it to make is fun! I am still working on getting my recipe perfected and when i do, i'll be sure to post it 🙂
I love my slow cooker so much; it makes the best meals! I love the convenience of it too. I would have never thought of making lasagna in the slow cooker!

School's in session and the Legion of Super-Heroes just got a new professor of art studies. Artist Phil Jimenez joins "Adventure Comics" as the ongoing penciler beginning with February's issue #523, which launches a brand new arc that opens the doors to the Legion Academy.
The Legion of Super-Heroes first formed as a future-based super-powered club dedicated to Superman, considered history's greatest hero to the 31st century teens. The youngsters all hailed from various planets from across the galaxy and banded together to uphold the moral and heroic code Superman set forth centuries ago. The three founding members, Lightning Lad, Saturn Girl and Cosmic Boy, even journeyed back in time to meet their hero, happening upon a young Clark Kent and inspiring his own superheroic deeds as he eventually would theirs for an ouroboros of fourth-dimensional proportions.
Currently, the galactic team features in two titles at DC Comics-"Adventure Comics" and the eponymous "Legion of Super-Heroes"-both penned by writer Paul Levitz. The former DC publisher previously guided the Legion as the ongoing writer on the team's title for over a decade during the late '70s and throughout the '80s, and returned to the team last year. Jimenez worked with Levitz before on "Legion" #6, which introduced the reopened Legion Academy and its newest batch of recruits. With his new exclusive contract, Jimenez looks to continue classes at the Academy with Levitz, and spoke with CBR News about guiding the potential future Legion members on their path to heroism.
"Despite the fact that Marvel Comics and their staff were incredibly good to me, we had a hard time finding a project that was appropriate for me," Jimenez told CBR News of his decision to sign exclusively with DC. "I just naturally gravitate to the DC Comics characters and my sense of this business is that I'm so fortunate to sit at home drawing comics of all things and if I'm going to do it for a living, I should work on characters that I like in worlds that I have a really good time with. Also, my exclusivity comes with perks, like really good insurance."
It comes with much more than that for the artist, as well-namely, the opportunity to work on a title and with characters that he grew up reading as a fan. "['Legion of Super-Heroes'] was actually one of the two comics that got me into DC Comics when I was a teenager," admitted the artist. "I was a really old school Legion fan. I know for some people the Legion is the post-'Zero Hour' Legion or the 'Lost' Legion or even Mark Waid's Legion, but my allegiance is the Legion Paul Levitz and Keith Giffen worked on back in the '80s-from the 'Great Darkness Saga' and beyond."
Jimenez said that the creative vision of Levitz, Giffen and the others who worked on the title appealed to him as a fan and drew him into the future world. He both enjoyed and appreciated a setting where a teen's greatest aspiration was to not only become a hero but also become a hero that didn't act like "young punks" or "rebels" and who people saw as true potential saviors of the universe. Jimenez also cited their take on the future itself as a huge draw, both creatively and artistically.
"It was one of the few books where I actually felt like I was in the future as opposed to an alien planet, if that makes any sense at all," he explained. "It was a world that seemed vaguely similar and absolutely familiar, but it definitely seemed like the future. It was such a uniquely realized vision of the 31st century."
Now Jimenez gets the chance to add his own unique mark onto that future every month in "Adventure Comics," especially with a host of new characters that make up the latest class of the Legion Academy, a concept from the old days of Legion comics whereby current members teach potential candidates in the use and control of their powers. "Probably my favorite to draw is Dragonwing, mostly because she's so complicated. Although my colorist hates her because of that," laughed Jimenez. "But I like each of them because they're fairly distinct. I like each of them because none of them looks like the other. Each one comes from a different sensibility. Dragonwing, her design came from fashion. The new magician character, she's a mix of Amethyst and Starfire and all these other alien race ideas. Gravity Kid's costume was absolutely inspired by the Mike Grell teen costumes of the '70s. Chemical Kid was a much more superhero-y costume. The idea is that each of their costumes says something about them was important to me."
However, as much as the artist said he enjoys drawing all of the new students, one in particular serves as a bit of a teacher's pet for him. "One of the characters that is the least memorable for many is Variable Lad, the big, purple-headed alien," Jimenez said. "He doesn't really do much early on, but I like him because I feel like he's the quiet kid in class who everyone sort of ignores, but has a power and personality that will surprise everyone later on. That's not a story hint. I just like characters who are a little less bombastic in the beginning and who are background characters that come forward at an important moment."
Although he doesn't really get the chance to delve into the veteran Legion members during his first arc, Jimenez said that he would eventually love the opportunity to draw the Legion proper-especially a certain dream girl. "My favorite Legionnaire of all time was the pre-Crisis Dream Girl because she was fantastic," revealed Jimenez. "I always loved that the sexiest Legionnaire was also one of the smartest. I came onto the book right around the time she was elected leader, so she had a real time to shine. I think many of our favorite characters often have to do with the time in which we encountered them. I love Dream Girl. I love Sensor Girl. I was a big fan of Shadow Lass. I'm not a big fan of her Earth-Man thing happening right now-Paul-but there's definitely a cast and crew of Legionnaires that I'd love to tackle. Primarily women."
"I don't believe there's a stronger roster of female characters in any other book out there," Jimenez added. "Except for Chris Claremont's run on the X-Men early in the '80s, the Legion has incredibly potent strong, sexy, smart female characters. They're one of the big draws to the book to me."
As fans of the Legion know, when it comes to potential members, there exists a certain lovable group of misfits that never quite made the cut. Jimenez said that although it ultimately comes down to Levitz's plans, when it comes to the Legion of Substitute Heroes he would "happily draw Infectious Lass in every issue that I possibly could."
"What I remember most fondly about the Legion of Substitute Heroes is that hilarious special from back in the '80s, which I reread constantly because I can't get over how funny it is," he said. "I'm a big fan of funny in comics. I'm sad that more people are not. The Substitute Heroes I think would be a fantastic title, like a one-shot, every couple of years or more often. I definitely feel like there's room for it. The beautiful thing about a group of characters like the Substitute Heroes, which in and of itself is so delightfully absurd, is that you can play that and love it. If you have this one thing on the side who are lighter and not as heavy and who can go on funny adventures, how hilarious is that? It's awesome. But I'm not sure how many readers, fans or even creators are interested in seeing that."
While it might take some time before a storyline requires the Legion needs to call in the Subs, Jimenez revealed a number of story points coming up that give the Legion and the members of the Academy more than enough problems of their own to take care of. "As we've seen from 'Adventure Comics' and 'Legion of Three Worlds' and Paul's run, the universe is not what it used to be. So, neither are the applicants of the Legion Academy. They're a little bit rougher, a little more entitled. That said, I don't want you to think they're anti-heroes because I'm anti-anti-heroes," he said. "You get to see a couple different planets, which I'm happy about. We really expand on the teacher characters. If you're really into Wolverine and Batman, I'm always afraid of dropping the name Bouncing Boy, but that guy is cool-far more than I ever expected. That character has a really good spirit and he ends up being a lot of fun to draw. We return to the Sorcerer's World for a while. And I don't want to spoil it, but one of the new characters has a very mysterious name that harkens back to some of the Legion's greatest enemies. So, we'll see what and how that name pans out.
"One thing I will say about Legion Academy, this may be a decent way for non-Legion fan to get into the Legion Universe because they cast is smaller and the cast is new. The art is very pretty and the color is gorgeous. So, this might be a helpful gateway into the Legion proper for people worried about the Legion's cast size and its scope. That was one of my goals. I wanted to do a book that hopefully combines the best of all things."

text: Emerging Tech Nonintegrated IT Hurts Strategic Planning Mitch Betts @itworldca Published: January 31st, 2000A lack of integrated information systems is hampering the ability of corporations to do strategic planning, according to a recent study from AnswerThink Consulting Group in Hudson, Ohio.Nearly 80 per cent of the companies surveyed reported that their management information systems aren't integrated with transactional and operational systems.Furthermore, poor systems integration limits the ability to customize reports for executives. Barely one-third of the companies can quickly access management information by geography, product, customer, supplier or major project, the study said.The study covered more than 50 Fortune 500 companies, a spokesperson said.The overall conclusion of the study: More than two-thirds of companies fail to integrate strategic planning with tactical and financial planning processes, which leads to sluggish decision-making and lost business opportunities, the CEO-level consulting firm said."Technology has created a deluge of data that often blinds managers from deciphering what is important," said David Axson, managing director of AnswerThink's CEO Solutions practice, in a prepared statement. "World-class companies leverage technology to tailor management reports so they only deliver what's material and volatile, the factors that truly drive revenue and costs."

Q: I see the awesome extra-move bonus for inviting friends to join me in playing Spellfall. How do I invite friends to play?
A: You can invite your friends to play by accessing the settings menu. There, you will be able to post an invite to your Facebook wall, send an email invite, or post a Twitter invite.
Q: How do I increase my chances for extra moves by inviting friends to play?
A: Once your friends have joined you in playing Spellfall, you will need to make sure you are in the same area in order for you both to benefit.
Q: How do I know which elements are strong/weak against enemiesother elements?
A: Elemental enemies take less damage from matching element attacks. However, Eeach element is strong/weak toagainst some another element. Here is the breakdown:
fire - weak to water
water - weak to energy
energy - weak to plant
plant - weak to cold
cold - weak to fire
Q: What are the different tiers of rarity flags?
A: The tiers, from common to most rare are as follows:
Q: What is "overkill" and how does it work?
A: "Overkill" occurs when the enemy's life has been depleted. The matches that follow via cascade, as well as any remaining special tiles (convert/spell tiles) on the board, will reward you with extra coins.
Q: How do elemental mastery runes work?
A: There are 5 types of elemental mastery runes - fire, water, cold, plant and energy. If you equip one of these runes in a weapon socket, then the damage dealt by attacking with associated attack stat for that element will increase. If you equip one in an armor socket, then the associated defense against stat for that element will increase. Keep track of where your mastery runes are socketed to increase your chances of defeating tough foes.
Q: Why do areas get recaptured?
A: Corruption is everywhere, and while you have cleared many areas of their corruption. There is always a chance that corruption can seep back in and take them over again. Recaptured areas are in peril and cannot generate any coin rewards for you. In order to have the area produce gold once more, you will need to beat it again. However, when returning to a recaptured area, you will notice that the enemies, though harder, give much better rewards than the first time you beat the area.
Q: Why do I need to beat recaptured areas again?
A: Recaptured areas no longer produce gold. In order for recaptured areas to give you gold again the area must be cleared of its corruption once more. When returning to a recaptured area, you will notice that the enemies, while more difficult, also give better rewards than the first time you beat the area. Recaptured areas that you clear out also give you a higher coin reward over time!
Q: Why do rune sockets get progressively more expensive?
A: The magical powers required to contain and activate runes is quite complex. The more runes you want to socket, the more effort it takes to ensure your items don't explode. Enabling more runes is powerful, but the process isn't easy.contained within runes are extremely potent. The more runes of these you can equip, the better your chances are of bringing your opponent to their his (or her) knees. Even the toughest enemy will have serious problems dealing with a weapon or armor fully loaded with runes.
Q: What happens if I miss one of the 20 days needed for the login bonus?
A: The login bonus calendar will reset to day one. Be sure to turn on notifications in the Settings menu to make sure you don't miss a day! The reward on the 20th day is quite substantial...

using the cobalt warheads at my stage in the game which are 5 times more powerful than conventional explosives, (which i am assuming "conventional" means TNT) you would need to have a warhead weighing 80,200 tonnes to equal the same yield.
So it popped into my head earlier, thinking about meteorite impacts and how devastating they can be due to their mass and speed. then i thought about missiles, and did some calculations. .....Any thoughts on this? i think its kinda funny thinking about how OP missiles would be if kinetic energy mattered

Boston Red Sox knuckleballer Steven Wright stymies Detroit Tigers in 6-0 victory
By DOUG ALDEN
Associated Press
BOSTON — Steven Wright needed a few pitches to get Detroit off balance, then kept the Tigers guessing for seven innings.
Making his first start in more than a year, Wright used a combination of knuckleballs and fastballs to hold the Tigers to two hits as he and the Boston Red Sox won 6-0 Tuesday night.
"There were definitely a lot of emotions going in — good emotions, but it's something that I've got to keep in check," said Wright, who had surgery on his left knee last May that cost him most of the 2017 season.
Former Tiger J.D. Martinez hit his 20th home run for Boston, and Xander Bogaerts led off the fifth with his ninth of the season.
Wright was grateful for the offense as well as defensive support he got after walking Leonys Martin to start the game. Nicholas Castellanos followed with a double off the Green Monster, where Andrew Benintendi fielded the bounce and threw a strike to Bogaerts, who relayed home in time for Christian Vazquez to tag out Martin.
Wright (2-0) made six relief appearances before getting the start, allowing only two hits with six strikeouts and three walks.
Castellanos, who also singled in the third, was the only Detroit player with a hit against Wright, who retired the last 13 batters he faced. Dixon Machado's two-out single in the eighth against reliever Hector Velazquez was the only other hit for the Tigers, who have lost three of four.
"Well, it's a slow pitch but it doesn't ever do the same thing twice in a row," Tigers manager Ron Gardenhire said.

Dear reader we have learnt about diffusion through concrete. We are primarily interested on oxygen and carbon dioxide diffusion. We have already learnt diffusion mechanism. Any type of movement of fluids either in gaseous or liquid state, there must have pore system in concrete and depending on their internal connection system, the movement of fluid is varied.
We know intrusion of oxygen accelerates deterioration of metal reinforcement embedded within concrete and our aim is to reduce diffusion as small as possible. A term diffusion coefficient has already been introduced in our last post.
Pore system of concrete is noticed to change with time and which more prominent during hydration of cement paste. As diffusion is a function of interconnected pore system, diffusion co-efficient is also changed with time.
It is also noticed that diffusion through water filled space is significantly slower than that in air-filled space. In case of oxygen diffusion, it is obvious that moist curing significantly affect diffusion of oxygen through concrete. Diffusion coefficient of concrete is observed to reduce to great extent (up to a factor around 6) under prolong moist curing.
Moisture condition in the concrete has also significant influence on diffusion as water in pore also reduce diffusion rate. So a well cured concrete having less pores, pores with discontinuous system or water in pores, as a whole a good quality concrete have less susceptibility to diffusion. In our next post we will learn about effect of humidity on diffusion of fluid through concrete.

A challenging dirt bike game, try to complete the 7 tracks as quickly as you can. This American hero is driving on his dirt bike on some stunning tracks, with the statue of liberty in the background. Your goal is to reach the finish as quickly as you possible can. When the hills get steep, try to lean back or forward so you do not turn over. If you fall you have to start the level from the beginning again, but the timer keeps ticking towards zero. So to score the maximum points drive fast but carefully as well. You can still finish the level when the time runs out, that just means you do not score any points that level. When you reach the end of level 7, you can submit your score.

Last week Nancy stirred up a few of Lady Gaga's "little monsters" by pointing out something that would seem painfully obvious — it's simply wrong to equate the sexual self-indulgence Lady Gaga embodies with any virtue, much less the virtues of bravery or courage. We've apparently moved beyond characterizing sexual immorality as merely acceptable and now must view it as actually noble, as something praiseworthy.
It is undeniable, however, that certain sexual behaviors and lifestyles can be difficult — that some people are scorned, ridiculed, and even bullied. But does choosing to embrace a sexual sin make you courageous?
Let's take a step back and think about the very definition of "courage." If you look at the dictionary definition, the term is morally neutral — in essence, it's the act of facing difficulty or danger without fear. According to the dictionary definition, both a bank robber and the police officer charged with stopping the crime are "courageous." The robber is facing the danger of the law, while the officer is facing the danger of the robber. Yet that's not how most people interpret the word (how many news stories begin, "Courageous bank robbers struck a downtown branch in a daylight heist . . .") Most of us (quite properly) understand that godly courage requires us to face difficulty or danger for the sake of virtuous goals or purposes.C.S. Lewis said that courage was not just one of the virtues, "but the form of every virtue at its testing point." In other words, courage depends on and enables virtue. By that measure, I can't call coming out (even though it is difficult for many) "courageous" because it is in almost every case a declaration of sinfulness and willful sinful activity. Not everything that's difficult or challenging to do is "courageous" — especially when that difficult or challenging thing also happens to contradict God's commands. If a husband breaks his marriage vows, alienates his friends, and runs off with the secretary, do we call that "courageous?" Why not? It's hard to do, but he's following his heart (like the culture tells us we must), and his action will cause an extreme counter-reaction from those closest to him. We might call that "audacious," but not "courageous."
To be clear, sin in one area of our lives of course does not preclude courage or bravery in other areas. Many gay men and women have courageously served our country, giving their lives for our freedom. Resisting a bully can require courage — regardless of the reason for the bullying. We're all sinful, but we're all — by God's grace — capable of courage. But it doesn't take "courage" to engage in extramarital sex. If it did, then your average frat house would supersede Parris Island as the proving ground for national greatness.

Lipid rescue therapy can interfere with critical lab values
November 13, 2013, 4:02 pm
Caution with interpreting laboratory results after lipid rescue therapy. Punja M et al. Am J Emerg Med 2013 Oct;1536.e1-1536.e1
Reference (No abstract available)
This case report describes a 54-year-old man who presented to the emergency department after ingesting a suicidal ingestion of diphenhydramine, amitriptyline, and acetaminophen (APAP). On arrival the patient had evidence of cardiotoxicity with unstable vital signs and a prolonged QRS interval (136 msec). His initial aspartate aminotransferase (AST) level was elevated (138 U/L).
After treatment with sodium bicarbonate, N-acetylcysteine (NAC), and 20% intravenous lipid rescue therapy (apparently < 2 ml/kg) an AST level was repeated and was undetectable. Based partially on this result, treatment with NAC was stopped. Eight hours later a repeat serum AST was 488 U/L, increasing over the next 48 hours to peak at 1600 U/L.
The authors make the point that significant serum lipidemia can interfere with laboratory tests. Although they don't go into details, they mention that "[t]echniques such as dilution and centrifugation can be used with varying success in removing the lipemic interference." In one previous report, ultracentrifuging the blood sample from a patient who received a lipid emulsion overdose allowed for measuring basic blood tests.
In another recent case report, Bucklin et al describe a 14-yer-old girl who developed asymptomatic elevation of serum amylase and lipase after receiving a prolonged infusion of lipid emulsion (total 46 ml/kg) to treat bupropion overdose, as well as transient delay in obtaining lab values. The authors note that exceeding recommended doses of lipid infusion rescue therapy have not been shown to provide benefit, but may increase risk of pancreatitis and laboratory interference, and possibly other complications. They recommend a maximum dose of 4 ml/kg.
Key take-home lesson: When managing patients who have received lipid rescue therapy, talk to your laboratory to see if they expect interference with any of their clinical assays, and to discuss possible steps such as centrifuging the blood specimen before testing. Unexpected laboratory results should be questioned and verified. Of course, it is wise to consult the local poison control center about any patient who has received LRT.
Additional note: Reported cases of pancreatitis after lipid rescue therapy have generally occurred after large doses or prolonged infusion. An abstract by Levine et al (Clin Toxicol 2012;50:681) described a case of symptomatic pancreatitis in a 20-year-old who received 48.5 ml/kg lipid infusion after a bupivacaine overdose.
