Fresh off a disappointing loss from Atlanta last night giving up a 17 point lead. The Mavs are back at home tonight vs. the Minnesota Timberwolves. T'Wolves looking to recover from a shootout loss to the Nuggets 117-110. Mavs took a different approach tonight and attacked the basket a lot this game. The T'Wolves decided to keep their normal game plan every night by staying aggressive at the 3 point line and the perimeter. Minnesota led 54-47 at the half. With the T'Wolves shooting 47%FG/42%3PT/71% FT and the Mavs 44%FG/22%3PT/60%FT
2nd half the Mavs were more aggressive and picked it up on the defensive end and used the fast break as the advantage. The Mavs re took the lead 66-64. Their first time leading in the game since the first quarter. But the T'Wolves regained the lead and kept it going with more 3pt FGs and great shooting mid-range. They were up by as many as 11 with 3:12 left in the 4th. Mavs defense vastly improved getting steals and easy lay-ups. But they just couldn't contain Minnesota's hot shooting from the 3-point line. After a Kevin Love 3-pointer with 1:55 left in the game. It pretty much sealed the deal for the T'Wolves as they get the win with the final score, 112-106. Improving to 9-9 on the season.
Kevin Martin led the way with 27pts shooting 7-14FG and 3-6 from 3PT. Nikola Pekovic had 21pts and 9 rebounds, shooting an incredible 10-13 FGs. Kevin Love had 21pts and 11rebs. T'Wolves shot 50% from the field this game and 42% from 3. Hitting 11 three pointers. Kevin Love postgame says that this win is "Very important to us. Especially with the tough schedule that we've had. We just have to fight through it and keep it going." Also, the T'Wolves had only 8 players suit up for tonight's game. They had 5 players that did not play due to coach's decision.
The Mavs were led by Monta Ellis with 26 points, 6 rebounds, and 6 assists. Dirk had 23 points, with most of his points coming in the 2nd half of the game. Also explains his frustration postgame. "We have to get better and hit close shots down the stretch. This was a big game for us. Especially after the one that we dropped vs. Atlanta. Defensively, we were not good enough. We cut the lead down to 4 or 5. Then someone will come down and hit a big basket."
The Mavs kept it pretty even with team stats with Minnesota. Leading the way in assists(25-21), steals(7-3), fast break points(16-12) and less turnovers(9-12) But shot a terrible 29%(7-24) from 3 and only 11 FTs compared to the T'Wolves 30FTs. They have been having a lot of problems with defense down the stretch. Shawn Marion explains his frustration post game: "It seems like sometimes we can't put together good four or five stops in a row and that's what we need. We need some chain stops instead of just one good one. We just got to stay with it and help each other." Mavs rookie point guards Gal Mekel. Who filled in for Jose Calderon because of an ankle injury. Had 6 points and 7assists off 3-12FG.
Mavs have dropped 2 straight games and record is now 10-8. Mavs have played 8 games out 13 days so far. They will get some rest and get ready for their next game on Tuesday vs. the Charlotte Bobcats at home.

in August 2004, though kept saying I would see it again. Is it still playing at the National?
its on at the moment until february. then they're doing a bit of a tour. I liked the bit when they're doing that French role play and the head walks in.

There's still a large segment of the population that isn't familiar with boarding schools and their benefits. So it's not surprising when you hear parents ask, are boarding schools good for children? The answer? Definitely. Let's look at why.
Boarding school is like a trial run for college, but with more support and structure. Students at boarding school can't rely on their parents to run around after them and make sure everything is done. College is the first time that many students find out what it's like to live alone and be responsible for themselves completely. Boarding school gives them a similar experience, but students aren't left totally on their own.
Many students take for granted the role their parents play in their daily lives. From helping them wake up in the morning and getting to school on time, to keeping their rooms clean and making sure they have clean clothes to wear, parents play a huge role. Students learn time management skills, responsibility, and independence through managing their own daily lives: getting to class on time, making it to meals on time, and eating healthy, including doing laundry. Boarding schools give students the chance to take care of all of this on their own, and if students don't step up, dorm parents step in, making sure that students take care of everything they need to be responsible for on a daily basis.

Parents often play a role in study habits, ensuring that students get their homework done. Boarding school does too, but puts greater responsibility on the students to manage their daily lives. Boarding schools provide ample time for students to work via study halls and free periods, but students have to be responsible to ensure that they get their work done on time. Students have the freedom to choose when they study, but they learn quickly the need to balance it with their social life.
Boarding school is also a great way for students to learn more about the global community in which we live. Cheshire Academy, a boarding school in CT, enrolls students from more than 30 countries, which means students interact with people from all walks of life and learn new perspectives on everything from discussing current events and educational models to reviewing literature and language.
Another benefit of attending a boarding school is small class sizes and personal attention from teachers. Many boarding schools in the US, including Cheshire Academy, have average class sizes of 12 students, meaning you won't get lost in a crowd. Often, classes are conducted using the Harkness method, which means discussion style learning while sitting at a round table; there are no back rows at a round table. Students not only benefit from personal attention in the classroom, but also personal attention outside of it.
At a boarding school, you live with your teachers, which means they aren't just in the classroom with you. Boarding school teachers make themselves available for assistance outside of the normal school day, and are part of students' daily lives. It's not uncommon for teachers and students to meet at breakfast, have conversations about life outside in between classes, or even have study sessions in their apartments on campus at night. They are more than just teachers; they are your coaches, dorm parents, and mentors.
Many students who attend boarding school also report that adjusting to college is easy, and they truly feel prepared, often noting that they find their first year of academic studies to be a breeze, especially after the rigorous schedules they had at boarding school.
So, you decide … are boarding schools good for children? While it may not be right for every child, I'd say, that yes, boarding schools can be an awesome experience for children.

Why is it so difficult to make healthy snacking decisions when you are busy? Many people start with a healthy, nourishing breakfast, grab whatever they can for lunch and then all of a sudden the 3 pm sugar cravings kick in and people begin reaching for any bar of chocolate, donut or candies they can!
Snack time is often the time of the day where people have trouble making healthy decisions but it's easy to change this by getting organized and having healthy snacks ready. Everyone is different but I usually recommend a mid-morning and a mid-afternoon snack. Eating a few hours after breakfast will perk up your brain after a long morning or being alert at work or school to tide you over until lunchtime. Post lunch, most people are pleasantly full but a few hours later around 3 pm is when people really begin to crave another pick-me-up. Enjoying a mid-afternoon snack will help prevent you from raiding your pantry after a long day at work or school and help you stay full until dinner time.
Remember, you have the choice to do incredible things for your body. Don't let the excuses of "my campus has no food" or "I didn't have time to prepare something" deter you away from sticking to your goals and keeping your mind, body and spirit healthy. Eating the right foods can truly transform your day. The healthier your body is, the more productive and efficient you will be!
The key to keeping healthy is maintaining a handful of healthy rituals that you enjoy and practice every day. Mapping out what you're going to eat, planning your meals ahead of time and buying all of your ingredients ahead of the time are some of the best habits for lifelong health. Sunday is usually a perfect day to spend at least 20 minutes meal planning before the week is in full swing!
If healthy snacks aren't on hand and if your class or work schedule changes, you'll be caught empty handed! When you are starving hungry your brain will selectively choose whatever is the most calorie and sugar dense to try and keep up your emergency energy supplies. This is why when you don't always make the best snacking decisions when you are pressed for time. Healthy snacks aren't always easy to come by which is why it's so important to always have a few healthy snacks with you when you have a busy schedule.
Nuts are a great snack because they are calorically dense as well as nutrient dense for a very small amount. To reap the nutritional benefits try to start cooking more with nuts and seeds. I often buy nuts and seeds in bulk because I am constantly using them in recipes; they are so easy to throw on salads or blend into delicious fruit and seed truffles!

I'd like to introduce you to this wonderful place that adopts children in Hermosillo, Mexico, offering them resources to meet their full potential, compassionately raising all there as their own family. I'm going to talk about it some more. So enjoy the conversation and get to know the wonderful folks that live and thrive together at Casa Esperanza Para Ninos ("House of Hope").
Meet the founder, Adonna Cullumber, as she discusses raising children (and those who live/work there) in a home as a family… "not just raising them so they had clothes and food and shelter, but we wanted to mentor them and give them the opportunity to reach their full potential and be individuals that can take care of themselves in the future."
Obviously, you'll note that this ministry has made a huge impact on the lives of many families, and for the long-haul. It's one of the unique things I love about this ministry. Not only do they share the gospel, but they make disciples. (Matt.29:18)
Here's where our family comes in:
My grandparents were missionaries, traveling all over the world – primarily Africa – up into their ripe old age. In fact, when I saw Grandpa last, he still talked of going back. Tho' their traveling years are gone, Grandpa always told us that he prayed his children (and beyond) would be missionaries. We carry that mission – every day, wherever we are – with purpose and gratitude. My grandparents laid the foundation of living our faith out by "going" in our daily walk, as well as to places far away.
Adoption is also near to our hearts, as I come from a large mixed family; 7 of my siblings being adopted. Not all of my brothers & sisters are related to me by blood, but we value the picture that familial adoption gives of Christ's adoption of all of us. We are family. No matter our genes. We are reminded that our brothers & sisters in Christ are our family. My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and do it. (Luke 8:21) We all have a wonderful opportunity to 'adopt' daily those around us who are our family.
There is also some family history behind this place in particular, this house of hope. My Dad (Mark) and Mom (Chris) used to go to this orphanage every Christmas, and still travel down to Mexico (for this and various other projects) over a dozen times a year. They were a part of this ministry when it first began, helping build from the ground up.
One of the directors at Casa Esperanza Para Ninos has recently suffered some health issues, and so a team has been set up to go down and help organize and support them while mending takes place. They'll work on some projects and strategize how to make the recovery process as easy as possible while keeping the house running full swing. Adyn will be joining this team. His travel expenses have been earned and covered, but he would like to raise funds to take to support the ministry in general. If you feel so inclined, you can donate directly through their website (below), or you can give funds to Adyn to deliver. Thank you in advance for supporting this wonderful ministry!
Please check out more info about the place:

Jess, try not to worry about followers (it's hard, I know). I'm only in my 40s and I've been blogging for nearly a year now. It used to really bother me (the whole page views/followers/comments thing) but now I've moved into the realms of 'who gives a shit'and it's much more enjoyable. Blog for you, your family and your friends. Anyone else who follows along for your journey is a fantastic bonus :) xoxo

I am in agreement 100%. I honestly enjoy reading other blogs more than writing my own but that is partially because I am lazy and don't feel what I have to write is very exciting. I really like how people have connected all over the country via blogging. I think it is neat. I love meeting people and I would love to RL meet bloggers too! Sound silly?

I have been blogging for over a year now and I only have 16 followers, most of which I have only accumulated recently due to link ups! It's ok.

I got the color in Sand Beige and bought this when summer was just starting. It was a little bit darker than my usual NC30/35 color, but it was perfect for the summer. Towards the end of my bottle, the color fit perfectly.
Even though I do not have tons of wrinkles, I got this because all of my other foundation at the time would settle in harsh lines, making me appear older than my actual years. This product did what I wanted in that aspect.
I think this product helped my skin from getting too darker. I actually felt my skin get a little lighter.
I kinda wished I had gotten the Wrinkle Therapy Powder, but I'm a student. I already had a good bottle of powder sitting at home and didn't need to spend money elsewhere, but I wonder if that would helped set my makeup better?

We all have known forever that exercise is good for us. It keeps us fit and strong, keeps our blood pressure at bay and prolongs our life. What many of us do not know is that apart from injuries and over-exercising there is another dark side of it – heavy or intense exercise routines create oxidative stress in the body, and this is not so good.
What is oxidative stress?
Oxidative stress happens when our body produces more free radicals than it can dispose of. The excess free radicals overload the body, preventing it from further detoxification, thus creating an imbalance. This imbalance is called oxidative stress.
To get this straight, let's define free radicals. Free radicals are cells that have lost one of their electrons and become unstable. They move around the body and damage other cells, including DNA, in an attempt to find the missing electron – by robbing the other cells of that electron. Free radicals are majorly responsible for a big number of serious illnesses and diseases, including cancers.
Does it mean exercising is bad?
NO. Exercise is not the only thing that produces free radicals. It is also the food that we eat (think of those fries and a burger), it is the polluted air we inhale, the chemicals from our cleaning agents, exhaust fumes. But while the majority of those things are avoidable or can be minimized to an extent, there is something that we cannot avoid or minimize. Breathing. Breathing also creates free radicals – this is a normal process.
What is a good exercise? And what is bad?
Regular moderate exercise is actually good for detoxification as it boosts the defense mechanisms in the body. So exercise is essential for health, no argument.
But there are forms of exercise that are so strenuous on the body that they can shut down the defense system and overwhelm it, leading to excess oxidation. These are endurance exercises, like running long distances for prolonged periods of time, or heavy exercises, like weight lifting and body building. It doesn't mean we have to stop doing them, but it definitely means we have to be extra careful.
How do we make it better?
When we are engaged in these sorts of exercises, we usually make it even worse. We know that running breaks down muscle so we try to protect it from the damage by taking proteins, usually of animal origin. If we are engaged in muscle building regimes, we take proteins to repair the muscles and make them grow. While it is absolutely necessary to make sure we take some form of protein post-workout, taking animal proteins also creates extra free radicals in the body.
From here, our options are either swap our proteins for plant-based proteins or take extra precaution in form of antioxidants. While I'd personally recommend getting a good plant-based protein powder or take plant-based proteins in their natural form (eating a meal with beans – those carbs will serve you good too, or adding peanut butter to your smoothie), there is something else we can do, no matter which protein we choose. Add antioxidants to your post-workout meal or shake.
Green Tea with Lemon
Green tea, and white tea too, by the way, is the source of a very potent antioxidant epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG). The presence of this antioxidant makes green and white teas probably the healthiest drinks of all. But there is one problem though – only about 20% of catechins are absorbed in the body after digestion. This is where the lemon comes in. The studies show that adding lemon or lime juice to the tea increases the amount of antioxidants absorbed, as well as also give you extra antioxidants they possess together with Vitamin C. Lemon juice (and the green tea too) also aids weight loss, lowers blood pressure and helps with detoxification. Sounds like a win-win.
Bottom Line
No matter what our exercise level is, we all could benefit from antioxidants in our diets, given the world we live in. But if you are engaged in any strenuous activities, it is better to add even more antioxidants to our diets by eating a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables as well as lightly cooked vegetables (sometime cooking boosts their properties too). Try to eat from every colour of the rainbow, have a good exercise routine and drink your health teas.

Cool Videos: "Man or Muppet" Music Video
Well, it's no "Mahna Mahna" or "The Rainbow Connection" but what would THE MUPPETS be without a musical number?
Disney's just released a little montage of clips from the film that's set to "Man or Muppet", a song featuring Jason Segel and Walter. There's a cameo that will surprise a few avid tv viewers, as well, so yes, spoiler alert. Course, if you somehow think that having a spoiler for THE MUPPETS will diminish your enjoyment of it... well, I just don't know anymore.
THE MUPPETS is now in theaters. Anyone in the NYC area- I'd recommend getting over to the Museum of the Moving Image, where they have a Jim Henson exhibit running till January. It's excellent.

Hello folks,
I am in search of the cappucino or the cafe au lait, the way europeans make it. Here in chicago, most cafe's served are scalding hot, which means the milk is burnt and the flavor of the milk is lost, too much foam, too much milk ot too much water(no balance). Is there a place here in chicago to get the perfect cup of cappucino? If i like your suggestion i will mail you a money order for $10 bucks. let me know the place, and email me! i have lost all hope of finding a great cup of cappucino. i am sick of starbucks and their so called foamy cafe. thanks!

The "I've completed all five seasons of The Wire" Thread so there are spoilers here.
I'm guessing LLB started one after he finished it but I wasn't online then.
in case of the auto hover preview: SPACE to stop SPOILING ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thoughts on the complete saga?
Pretty much sums it up but I also like the cyclical nature of the show, setting up a 'new' Omar and a 'new' Bubbs, even that was sad to see. Nothing really beats Bubbs sitting down to dinner with his sister, though. Am I right? I'm right. You all got a little lump in your throat at that bit.
Not sure I totally liked the way it went with McNulty in the final season. I was tense the whole way through as I couldn't see any way out that didn't leave him in jail or dead. Someone mentioned on a different forum that McNulty might be the only lead cop character to never fire his gun in anger. Does he actually ever take it out?
I was going to make this thread but didn't get around to it
The Serial Killer story line was ridiculous and actually angered me. However this anger was tempered by The Bunk being right and getting things done with good police work. I love the Bunk.
I loved Omar's death. He was too much of a warrior to die in a big battle, and it was only when his guard was down did he get popped. Only The Wire would have the balls to kill off it's most popular character in a random shooting before he had completed his quest.
Bubbles' speech before his addiction group had actual tears in my eyes. I was so proud of him.
The start of the season seemed too polished to me, especially after the brilliance of the wearily depressing 4th season. Thankfully it got back to that towards the end - the bit where Michael and Dookie know they'll never see each other again and Michael can't remember the days when they were just kids and had fun :(
I liked how they dropped old characters in to round stuff off.
The best moment of the series - when Slim Charles (always a fave of mine) blew Cheese's face off "That was for Joe". I was actually whooping
The news storyline felt tacked on
Like everyone was suddenly reading the paper - that hadn't happened in the previous 4 years.
However, it was really interesting as I've heard it's a fantastically accurate recreation of a working newsroom, and Gus was a great character
Yeah, well I presumed it would have to be accurate as Simon's a journalist, isn't he?
I quite liked the little points it made about use of language in articles and how it showed that bad journalism sells so much better than good.
I'm not sure about the polished nature of the start of the season. I thought it was really sad to see them with no money or anything after the positive end we got to Season 4 with Carcetti's election.
Probably my favourite moment of all five seasons is Rawls shown in the gay bar. A nice throwaway moment that's never revisited. There was something great about that.
Still, I'm with you with Slim Charles offing Cheese, though apparently Method Man's MySpace was then filled with anti-Slim comments from his fans. :D
Didn't Slim start out with Barksdale?
Yeah, then he went indy
Not to be nitpicky, but Carcetti was elected in the middle of season 4 - that season ended with the schools budget crisis and Carcetti being told he ahd to abandon all his plans for the police department.
The plot of there being no many made the serial killer line make sense, but then there was a period where the no money went to the back burner for a bit and McNulty and Lester's actions seemd ludakris.
I guess. I don't remember it being clear what he was going to do at the end of the season.
Or it didn't seem that clear to me.
There was a big scene were Carcetti was like
"Damn, we have to scrap all our promises to the police"
Who went for what?
Actually I think these are on HBO's YouTube channel.
Have you watched the three little 'beginnings' movies on the HBO site?
I found out when I investigated who did the 5th season theme tune.
Pretty cool. :-)
Gus was great
i really wanted him to properly rumble Scott for being such a dick.
anybody else spot David Simon in the news office? i can't remember which episode it was, but there's a pan across the news room and he's at a desk typing away.
One word: SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT.
I think the whole serial killer storyline was worth it for
McNulty's face when he's listening to the FBI profiler.
Yes indeed! :D
And the bit where he gets into the lift and there's just the utterly ominous silence... :D
i enjoyed the fifth series
but the serial killer storyline just wasnt the wire for me. The newsroom wasnt the best either. Simon was oviously too attached to it and some of the characters were really one dimensional "bad guys". With everything else in the show they always managed to blur the lines a bit.
I loved Series 5
but for me The Wire peaked in the last quarter of series 3 with the Stringer and Avon fall-out, the Brother and Omar's revenge, Marlo assuming the crown, the collapse of Hamsterdam and Carcetti stepping up to the plate with his rant at that end.
Series 5 was the shit though yo and some of the dialogue between the Bunk, McNulty and Lansdon was some of the best. My favourite bit is when Bunk says something like, 'look at yourself Jimmy. When you're not drunk and knee-deep in random pussy, you're chasing murderers that don't exist.' The views of Baltimore at the end were stunning; I'm passing through there in a few months and am going to head down Westside for sure.
Top 5 The Wire characters:
1. The Bunk
2. Bubbles
3. Slim Charles (who apparently has been shot 13 times in real life - proper muscle)
4. Omar
5. Preston 'Bodie' Broadus - although he'll never be forgiven for killing Wallace
Top 5 Worst Characters in The Wire
1. Russell Bell
2. Daniels
3. Pearlman
4. Johnny Weeks
5. Herc // Bird
Daniels was brilliant
When the time came for him to play the game, he just refused. I give him props for that
Thank God someone has posted this thread
Everyone I know who is watching it are still on Season 3..
I think the best thing about the last Season was Bubs, everytime he appeared on screen I started weeping, he really was the heart of that show. Carver became a real favourite for me too, although no one beats the Bunk. Love him x

When colloidal silica is introduced to a liquid, the liquid becomes destabilized electrically. Solids with opposite surface charges are attracted to the colloidal silica particles, forming clusters or clumps called flocs. These flocs then float to the top (creaming), settle to the bottom (sedimentation), or are readily filtered from the liquid.

Effects of Deposition Conditions on Texture in Copper Thin Films on Si (111)

The texture of copper films deposited on bare Si (111) is studied using a partially ionized beam deposition technique. A change in deposition parameters (percent ions and substrate bias) radically alters the texture from epitaxial to fiber. Under conditions indicative of deposition by evaporation, a sharp texture typified by a Cu {531} ‖ Si (111) relationship is observed. At measurable ion energy levels, the film texture becomes Cu (111). A narrowly defined set of conditions promotes epitaxy which breaks down into a fiber texture for conditions of successively higher ion energy. The role of internal (boundary) energy and interfacial (substrate/film and film/ambient) energy are discussed.

I don't know where to start,
I just want you to read this fast.
I know you think that you love me,
But baby you put everything above me.
I don't want to fight,
But this just ain't right.
Let me tell you one thing clear,
You don't really love me dear.
You have priorities and that's not bad,
It's just, I don't have a number on that.
Baby we don't have a future either,
As you took a step and informed me neither.
So honey I should just leave you free,
But you know it's hard for me,
My heart beats for you daily
I love you so sincerely.

I have loved Shepherd's Pie since I was a teenager. I had my first taste of this comfort food while I was visiting my best childhood friend in London. Yes, I was lucky enough to taste the real deal! My friend moved overseas the year before and for my thirteenth birthday my parents sent me to visit her, all by myself. It was a marvelous, memory filled trip, one my teenagers are really tired of hearing about. ;)
Anyway, it was and is a delicious dish and I've been making it for many years.
You start with your mashed potato topping. Peel and cut up the potatoes and let them boil until done.
While the potatoes are cooking brown the ground beef and lamb, with onions, celery and carrots. (That french miropaux mix I mentioned a while back makes it so easy.)
Once that is browned, add a clove of garlic. Be sure to season well with salt and pepper.
My little secret ingredient is 2 tablespoons of tomato paste. This one that comes in a tube is super handy. I just keep a tube in my fridge for many recipes. Also throw in 2 teaspoons of Thyme.
Make a gravy for the filling with beef broth, Worcestershire sauce and cornstarch. Let simmer while you finish the mashed potatoes.
Once the potatoes are soft, I use my Kitchenaid mixer to mash the potatoes briefly and then add, butter, milk, and cream cheese. Of course, season with salt and pepper.
Add the meat filling to a dish, buttered if necessary. Top with mashed potatoes and finish with mozzarella cheese.
My helper and daughter Emily finished the dish for me while I ran an errand, hence the lack of photos of the previous parts.
Bake in 425 oven for 15-20 minutes. Yours probably won't come out this brown. Emily turned the oven off, but left it in to keep it warm. She didn't realize it would continue to brown. But we didn't mind we actually like our cheese nice and brown.
This was the first time I used the combination of beef and lamb. It was very good and will definitely do it again. The lamb seemed to lend a little sweetness to the dish.
Shepherd's Pie
For the Meat Filling:
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 pound ground beef
1 pound ground lamb
1 cup frozen French Miropaux mix or equivalent of onion, celery and carrots, chopped
2 teaspoons thyme (fresh or dried)
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 cup beef stock or broth
2 teaspoons Worcestershire,
1 tablespoon cornstarch, in a slurry of water
1 cup frozen peas
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
For the Mashed Potatoes
2 1/2 -3 pounds Russet or Yukon Gold Potatoes
5 tablespoons Butter
1/2 package (8 Oz.) Cream Cheese, Softened
1/4 cup Half-and-Half or whole milk
salt and pepper to taste
8 oz mozzarella cheese, grated
Boil potatoes in salted water until tender, about 12 minutes. Drain potatoes and pour them into a bowl.
While potatoes boil, preheat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add oil to hot pan with beef and/or lamb with the onion, celery and carrots.
Season meat with salt and pepper. Brown and crumble meat for 3 or 4 minutes. If you are using lamb and the pan is fatty, spoon away some of the drippings.
Next add the thyme and the tomato paste, which gives the meat filling a richer flavor. After this is all mixed together add the peas.
Finish the meat filling by making a gravy with beef stock, worcestshire and paprika. Once the stock is boiling add slurry of cornstarch and water. Let simmer on low until potatoes are finished.
When the potatoes are soft, slightly mash the potatoes. I use a paddle attachment on my Kitchenaid mixer.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Combine cream cheese, butter and milk into the potatoes and whip until potatoes are almost smooth.
Fill a small rectangular casserole with meat and vegetable mixture. Spoon potatoes over meat evenly.
Top potatoes with grated mozzarella cheese from the heat until potatoes are evenly browned, about 15-20 minutes.

The Boutique
Nadira and Ryan Hurley, the founders of Vert & Vogue, met in 2001 at a Parisian men's boutique that Nadira managed. After buying an entire new wardrobe from her, Ryan mustered the courage to ask Nadira on a date. A year later, they were married and, a year after that, living in New York. Vert & Vogue is the child born out of this love story, a combination of Ryan's passion for sustainable business and Nadira's fashion savvy. Look for thoughtfully curated clothing, footwear and home goods.
The Designer
Coclico is about a personal identity that extends beyond style and luxury to a lifestyle: conscious, artful and elegant. Made in Spain and designed in New York City, they believe that luxury isn't the ability to purchase endlessly, but the privilege of choosing wisely. All of their shoes are made ethically and sustainably in their small, family-run factory in Mallorca with materials sourced locally. The result is a union of modern minimalism and traditional quality.

Portland host
Kaitlin Carpenter @suchthekaitlin
Part of an ongoing series highlighting the amazing people in the Portland creative community.
Chloë Miller is an illustrator, designer, communicator and printer. She's also the voice of Scout Books on social media. Her tweet from Rilla Alexander's talk caught our attention.
See Ashley Courter's photos in all their glory on Flickr and check the interview below.
What is it about letterpress that drew you in?
A love of words and the way that they can be strung together. The first instructor that I had was a typesetting purist – no photopolymer plates in the classroom, so it was all about using letters and spacing and punctuation and color. I like the thoughtfulness of creating something one letter at a time, it's so deliberate and precise. I like the pace of it. I'm naturally a little bit impatient, and if you try to rush through a print job, something will inevitably go awry, so the pace is a good challenge for me.
What did you learn by putting out your own products?
I learned that it requires an amazing amount of hustle, and I learned that if you don't have a naturally business-oriented brain, you might want to consider taking a class. The best part was that it showed me how supportive Portland is. Stores were very encouraging and fellow printers cheered me on and that seemed really special. This town is so full of creatives and instead of being competitive, everyone just wants everyone else to keep making amazing stuff.
What's a typical day like at Scout Books?
First things first: stereo goes on. Check email. I spend a lot of time communicating with people about the nature of print – what to expect from offset lithography and the ink colors and materials, how to best set up their artwork, which format is ideal for their project. Then I wrangle all the details so that when the production team gets started, everything is clear. I also prepare proofs and print files, write blog posts and manage our editorial calendar, which includes documenting interesting internal projects and client work, and also sharing how people are using their Scout Books out in the world!
What's your dream project?
I'd love to work on some kind of map or illustrated instructions. I find that my to-do and grocery lists often become these fun and practical little drawings and I'd like to expand on that. Also, I know letterpress printers everywhere will roll their eyes, but I could really stationary geek out on designing and printing a wedding invitation suite. My sister recently got engaged, so it might be in my future!
You've been to a lot of CreativeMornings events. Which talk has stuck with you most and why?
I have this distinct memory of getting to work after the Anna Telcs talk last year and not being able to focus at all. Some coworkers had been there as well and we all gathered in a circle and buzzed with excitement. The theme was Crossover, and Anna spoke very eloquently about the variety of creative endeavors she'd explored and how the various experiences all had value and came together. She made me feel excited, not exasperated, about the fact that I like to write and print and get lost in Illustrator, and that I've tried out more jobs than I can count on both hands. Her talk left me feeling inspired and eager for the future – what an awesome gift on a Friday morning!

Classes will be held on the morning of March 30 (Good Friday) from 8:00 a.m. to 12:50 p.m.—Lecture A, B, C, D. Most administrative offices will be closed that day, as scheduled.
Students can still register for classes (with advisor's approval), and Add/Drop is active through Major Portal. Students are encouraged to finalize the registration process immediately if they have not done so already. Please contact the appropriate office to address any issues. While College offices are currently closed due to the weather-related water shortage, administrators are monitoring email and/or voicemails.
If students encounter issues registering for a class that they plan on taking this term, the instructor should be contacted directly via email as soon as possible. Many instructors have already sent out syllabi, assignments and modified schedules.
The academic term will start as scheduled on Monday January 8, even though the start of on-campus activities has been delayed for one week. Students are responsible for submitting all required work on time and for making every effort to participate in all required activities. Some instructors are planning to hold virtual class meetings and discussions during regularly scheduled class times, and students are required to make every reasonable effort to fully participate in these activities. Failure to do so will be treated as an unexcused absence. Instructors should be notified in advance if it is not possible to participate in a required session or activity. If a virtual class meeting cannot be joined due to technological issues, the instructor should be notified immediately with an explanation.
It is understood that virtual, remote engagement with course material is not equivalent to the typical, intimate, face-to-face instruction that is the hallmark of a Millsaps education; however, it is important to maintain the integrity of the academic experience as best we can during times of distress. Please be patient and accommodating and recognize that everyone is doing the best they can to thrive in a challenging situation.
At this time, Millsaps College is delaying the start of on-campus activities for the spring semester, including all athletic practices, by one week. The academic term will start as scheduled on Monday, January 8, as faculty begin distributing course material to and actively engaging with students via email, but on-site attendance in classes will not officially begin until Tuesday, January 16. This delay applies to all undergraduate and graduate students.
Residence halls will open for the spring semester at 10:00 a.m. on Sunday, January 14. We will observe the Martin Luther King holiday on Monday, January 15.
The remainder of the academic calendar for the spring semester will not change. The last day of classes will still be April 24, and we will plan for commencement on Saturday, May 5.
Due to several days of below-freezing temperatures in the area, the city of Jackson is actively managing an emergency situation related to broken and damaged water lines throughout the area. This situation includes breaks in lines, loss of water pressure, and in some cases, no water at all. As of Thursday, January 4, the city has issued a precautionary boil-water advisory for the entire area.
Here at Millsaps, low water pressure has made toilets (particularly on upper floors) and showers largely unusable. Dining Services lacks adequate water for food preparation, and water outages are projected to continue through the next several days. We will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as warranted.
Please contact the Office of Student Life at 601-974-1200 if you have questions related to housing and support.
Additional information will be relayed to all students, faculty, and staff as the situation warrants.

Movies with Julio: 5 New Indie Movies Worth a Watch
I wake up early on a Sunday morning, throw the pork shoulder in the smoker, mow the lawn, and get all the other chores done so that during the afternoon I can sit around and watch an endless amount of football without interruption.
But, since I don't have cable and my local channels are either showing competitive fishing or the Browns vs. the Bills. Two NFL teams that many people in the midwest don't care for (Trust me, I made a poll. It's not rigged.); I am really stuck without many options. So what's my next step?
Complain about the situation on Twitter? See if your friends can help you with a cable provider password? Or just be happy with whatever game is on TV? By now, after all of the deliberating, my Nachos are cold and I didn't do all that work earlier so that I can get dragged to the store to look at Christmas decorations. With no luck from my friends, I make a quick decision to spend the afternoon watching movies. This is where my knowledge comes in handy. Here are a few indie movies to watch when all other options are grim.
The Witch
A colonial family gets banned from their plantation, they attempt to start over at a farm at the edge of a New England forest. The children are told not to go into the woods for any reason. But, as soon as winter nears and the food becomes sparse, unsettling things begin to happen, and they all begin to turn on one another. Accusations of deception fly left and right. Will the family ever be the same?
Winter's Bone
There are a lot of people that are fans of Jennifer Lawrence. She has acted in plenty of movies that has made a lot of money and even won an Oscar for her performance in Silver Lining Playbook. But, for me, Winter's Bone is the only movie that I consider Jennifer to be good in. She shows a different range in emotions throughout; from sad, angry, and joy. Lawrence plays a young teenage girl who is looking for her father that put the family's home up for his bail and then disappeared.
I moved to Iowa from California when I was 16, it was a huge culture shock. I knew then that Los Angeles was and still is a place full of different cultures, people, and ways of life. Growing up, we didn't really go to any neighborhoods where we weren't comfortable being in. We almost always stayed in a mostly Hispanic community, we only went to the beach a handful of times, I think it was mostly because I can't swim.
Dope reminds me of myself when I was young. Trying everything to fit in, trying to understand high school life, becoming a "young adult," and ultimately just hoping that people accepted me for who I am. Now, after being in the Midwest for almost 10 years, I have the dankest memes and write a movie blog segment. Life couldn't be any better.
The Hurt Locker
There hasn't been a war movie that has released recently that has made me be at the edge of my seat like The Hurt Locker. Jeremy Renner and Anthony Mackie star in The Hurt Locker, a movie about an Army bomb squad during the Iraq War. There are scene in this movie where the soldiers need to disarm a bomb in a relatively busy neighborhood and they will make you sweat uncontrollably. Or maybe that is just me.
Fruitvale Station
This is the true story of Oscar Grant played by Michael B. Jordan (no relation to the basketball player), a 22-year-old Bay Area resident who wakes up on the morning of December 31, 2008 and senses something different. During this day he encounters friends, coworkers, strangers, and life drama. Oscar, decides to spend the night with friends and enjoys the New Year's Eve parties with loved one and friends. Until an encounter with BART police officers change his life and the Bay Area forever.
These are a range of movies that are a bit different. Movies that you have to search for and often times aren't included in the matinee showings at your local AMC. Some would call them Independent movies, but remember, just because a sad Bill Murray is in your movie doesn't make it edgy or independent. These movies are out of the norm, they don't involve Wes Anderson, I'm not saying that Moonlight Kingdom wasn't good, it was great! All I am saying is, when was the last time Bill Murray was in a memorable movie? He has acted more while singing "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" at a Cubs game or "crashing" someone's engagement photos than in any movie he has been in during this decade. A friend of mine agrees, Bill Murray is a hog for the spotlight.

The ATM 'Thingy'
Submitted By: parthiv2412 on April 5, 2016
The ATM 'Thingy'
A woman at work was seen putting a credit card into her floppy drive and pulling it out very quickly.
When I inquired as to what she was doing, she said she was shopping on the internet and they kept asking for a credit card number, so she was using the ATM 'thingy.' Keep shuddering.

Victoria in Capital Regional District, British Columbia — The Canadian Pacific
The Victoria Centennial Fountain
Activated 2 August 1968 by Hon. W.A.C. Bennett, L.E.D.. Premier.
The Crown Colony of Vancouver Island 1845
The Dependency of the Queen Charlotte Islands 1852
The Crown Colony of British Columbia 1856
The Stickeen Territory 1862
Plaques on the fountain tell the origin of their union to become the British Columbia of today. The animal symbols are those from which all Indian Societies obtained their main totems of the four areas. The first impetus to exploration and settlement of the Pacific Northwest was provided by fur traders. The rare sea otter drew hunters to the North West coasts. Thousands of skins were taken by fur hunters of many nationalities. The sea otter has been chosen as the theme for the fountain centerpiece.
The Bear
(Interior Indians)
Gold on the Frasier and Thompson Rivers brought thousands of miners to the mainland. In 1858, to ensure British sovereignty, the Crown Colony of British Columbia was created and formally proclaimed at Fort Langley on November 19th. Its boundaries were progressively enlarged until by 1866 all British territory west of the Rocky Mountains was united under the name of British Columbia. In 1871 this Colony joined the Canadian Federation as the sixth province.
The Raven
(Haida Indians)
The Queen Charlotte
The Wolf
(Tahltan Tlimeit)
Following the rush to Fraser River in 1858 the miners pushed northward to the Nass, Stickeen and Peace Rivers. To provide for government of the region the Territory of Stickeen was created in 1862. It survived only one year when a redefinition of the boundaries of British Columbia made it a part of the lower mainland colony.
The Eagle
(Kwakiutl, Nootka, Salish)
Vancouver Island, first occupied for Britain by Captain James Cook in 1778, became a centre for the fur trade. Named after Captain George Vancouver, the Crown Colony of Vancouver's Island was established in 1849 to buttress British sovereignty on the West Coast. In 1856 representative government was instituted and a Legislative Assembly elected. It was united with the mainland colony of British Columbia in 1866.
Erected 1968.

Pals, take a chill pill!
That time of the year has come when lakhs of students seat for Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) examinations, vying for university seats. I am one of those.india Updated: Feb 08, 2012 17:15 IST
That time of the year has come when lakhs of students seat for Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) examinations, vying for university seats. I am one of those. I am very well aware of the importance that our Indian society (parents, teachers and relatives) attaches to a child's performance in the three-hour board examination.
This has almost become like a national ritual during which everyone from friends to relatives and neighbours ask you - 'How much did you score?' 'Will you be able to make to a college?' 'Which college have you chosen?'
All these questions add to overwhelming anxiety and fear. But as I prepare for my board exams which are less than a month away, I share with you my 'take a chill pill' approach. Instead of panicking, I believe that half battle is won if you plan well. My strategy is to first take up subjects that I find difficult. This way I can focus on my weak areas and even if I run out of time I can do a quick revision of subjects that I find easy.
Moreover, instead of watching television, I often visit a bhaiya who stays in my neighbourhood. I love spending time with him. His songs just lift my spirits and rejuvenate me. This way I step out my house and get some fresh air. A balance of academics and fun activities keeps stress at bay and doesn't let the fear of exams descend upon me.
Well that's all about my plans and now I have a piece of advice for my friends who will be appearing for board examinations this year - don't let examinations be a 'pressure cooker' in your lives. Remember an examination is just an assessment of one's skill or knowledge in a particular subject and it is not necessary that we all have to perform well in all the subjects. If we all were to be so-called equally 'intelligent', then this world would have a damn boring place. This world is an interesting place because we all have different creative and academic intellect and that's why we have Albert Einstein and Pablo Picasso.
All these things that I am talking about might sound like clichés to many of you but the problem is that we know them but we don't implement them. Friends! Put yourself in the right frame of mind and give exams a tough time!
