Q: How much does plasma donation pay? When I donated plasma, the pay was 10,15,10,25, (for the first, second, third and fourth times of the month,) but that was about 8 years ago. I was told to call first because sometimes a special reward is offered for economic hardship.
Economic Hardship
Economic hardship has led to an increase in blood plasma donation services for offered money. While many serious diseases can be treated successfully with plasma biotherapies, the number of families who benefit financially from payments received from a plasma donation centers are also significant.
Income received from plasma donating is not significant, but it could certainly help someone who is really strapped for cash, since plasma can be donated more often than blood. Potential plasma donors should call their local donation center donations for specific payment guidelines.
How Do You Get Paid When Donating Plasma?
Plasma centers don't write checks, or offer cash rewards like in the past. Instead, most plasma centers now use a money card, similar to a debit card, to pay you for plasma donating. After you donate, the nurse scans your plasma donation bag with your ID on it, and the money is automatically added to your card. Some plasma donation centers even offer an ATM inside the center, for faster access to your cash and checking your balance.
CSL plasma money cards now have a my Visa Z rewards feature - every time you donate and get paid at CSL, you earn rewards points good toward mp3 downloads, coupons, or cash back.
How Much Plasma Centers Pay in the United States - By State
Different states have separate laws on minimum donor pay received. For example, in Illinois, the minimum pay is a large sum of $5 per donation hour, and since most donations take up to 1 hour, a donor would be paid a whopping fee of $5. Luckily, most plasma donation centers make thousands of dollars on each bottle of human plasma, so they can afford to pay more than the minimum. Here are three states I know about, average pay in each:
1.) Illinois - centers usually pay around $25 first donation of the week, $35 for the second
2.) California - one the highest paying states for donors, at $35 first, $45 dollars second time
3.) Texas - one of the cheapest, lowest paying state averages, at only $10 dollars first, $20-$30 second time around
How to donate plasma
Donating plasma is different from donating blood in it after you have drawn blood, plasma is separated and the remaining blood is returned to the donor, by centrifugation. To make sure that donors are in perfect health, they must wait at least 4 months between red blood cell donations. Plasma donors can donate as frequently as twice a week, however, with a 48 hour waiting period in between.
Q: How does paid plasma donation differ from voluntary blood plasma donation?
A: Paid plasma donation is the same as any other automated donation process. I assume that "selling" plasma sounds too awkward.
Why Donate Plasma?
If you do not donate then many people will die. It helps people with leukemia and other immune disorders.
For me, the extra cash is addicting, as were the health surveys conducted in the plasma donation center before any donations (I donated at Biotest Plasma,) so I went to donate plasma twice a week for a $ 65 reimbursement.
According to director of corporate communications for ZLB Plasma Services, Christine Kuhinka, whose center is located at 2978 South State Street in Salt Lake City, an individual can earn up to $300 monthly income for their family, just by donating plasma.
You get paid more when you become a regular donor to the Center, but only for the first few times. To get compensated, you must first find the center nearest you. There are plenty of useful Internet ads will help you to do this. Then, you earn $ 40 for the first visit and less for others.
There is nothing wrong with plasma donating, if you're a suitable candidate. If a potential donor does not meet the height and weight requirements of the protocol, a center may still buy their plasma. They are still eligible to use automated technology to donate one unit of red blood cells / one unit of plasma or platelet donation.
The pros on Donating Plasma
There's only one pro to donating plasma: the payment. The amount that you earn for donation depends on the current needs of the donor pool, but the highest paying plasma companies pay anywhere from $ 20 - $ 50 per donation, and you can give twice a week! After your initial visit, the average payment is $25 for a first donations, $ 35 for the second donation of the week. The money is pretty decent.
Also, your plasma is worth more than just cash. Plasma has worth as potential rescue serum for patients receiving immuno therapy, and for people struggling to put food on the table every day, they receive valuable payments which are also a lifesaver.
The First Donation
My first donation was about 2 hours long. The process includes an individual physician check on the first visit. You also need to do routine things like get weighed to determine how much plasma you can donate, and get your blood pressure and pulse taken. After the first donation, it only takes about 45 minutes - it's the easiest money ever!
Who donates plasma
After a quick search on the internet, I found that a lot of normal (read: not drugged up and not-homeless people) make a decent amount of money by plasma donating. Who knew that plasma was worth so much? Plasma centers do not directly set the pay- they go off how much you weigh, how often you donate, and how tall you are.

Phones, tablets, iPods, radio control helicopters, GoPro cameras (okay you get the idea)… It seems like just about all the electronic devices out there these days are charged via a USB. So why not install USB wall plugs in your home? They look like a normal outlet, except that they have USB ports. These USB plugs could be installed to replace any existing outlet in your home where you charge your gadgets, eliminating your USB power adapters, and freeing up your standard outlets.
On a recent project, I installed one of these in each locker space of a mudroom area for each kid to have a charging station to charge their phone and tablet. They were 2.1 amp USB plugs rated to charge two iPads at once (the biggest kind available from the supplier). But one of the kids had a Samsung Galaxy tablet that didn't charge with them. It recognized the power source, but wouldn't allow itself to charge for some reason.
I had the electrician come back to install a different kind, a 0.7 amp USB plug just to make sure, but it didn't work either. So there might be electronic devices out there not compatible with USB plugs of this kind. But the electrician said he has installed USB wall plugs numerous times, and that this was the first time he had ever heard of a device not charging with them.
If you'd like to install USB outlets yourself, you can look for them online, at an electrical supply house, or possibly even at your local home improvement center such as Lowe's and Home Depot for around $25-$30 each.

Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy reportedly wants to move to London to avoid Socialist President Francois Hollande\'s punitive 75% tax rate.
London\'s Daily Mail reports Sarkozy — and supermodel wife Carla Bruni — hope to escape France in order to to set up a billion pounds plus investment fund. The Daily Mail report cited investigative news site Mediapart.
Sarkozy may also hope to escape from investigations he is facing over contributions from L\'Oreal heiress Liliane Bettencourt, as well as other probes he faces in France, according to the report.
Actor Gerard Depardieu recently accepted Russian citizenship in a bid to escape France\'s tax rates.

For the first time, a collectors edition of eight Jamboree council shoulder patches (CSP's) are available to collectors as well as Last Frontier Council Jamboree participants, leaders, staff. This set is in commemoration of the 2013 National Scout Jamboree to be held at The Summit Bechtel Reserve in West Virginia in July.
The theme for the 2013 Jamboree is reflects our motto "Be Prepared" with respect to Oklahoma weather. Six custom CSP's represents an element of Oklahoma weather seen by most of us: Lightning, wildfire, tornado, ice storm, flood and drought. Scouts have been there to offer assistance in helping their neighbors when disasters strike.
This collectors set includes a center back patch around which all 7 shoulder patches surround.
The center patch has a radar graphic pulled from radar data of the famous May 3, 1999 F5 tornado that struck central Oklahoma. Weather symbols line the perimeter and match the motif of each CSP.
The wind turbine and oil rig depict the energy of our state.
Centered among the backpatch theme lies a special 75th anniversary Manu Lodge pocket flap patch. Inside the red zone likes an hidden image of the American bison (the spirit buffalo) racing along – the totem of the lodge which is the name of our chapter in the Order of the Arrow.
This limited edition run has only 100 sets available for collectors. Order yours today for just $99.99 plus shipping! A maximum of 5 sets per person will apply.
Click on the form for more information and a higher resolution graphic of the set.
Email your completed form to firstname.lastname@example.com or fax to 405.840.1675
Jamboree Scouts, Venturers, leaders and staff will use a different form sent by email.
Production note: This design was completed before the May 19th and 20th, 2013 tornado outbreak.

Thanks to my good friend Meagan for modeling this look for me! She literally has the perfect body for it.
Although I would love to incorporate these two vintage finds into my fall wardrobe, I had to finally admit that they were just overwhelming on my petite frame. However, I definitely wanted to give other vintage enthusiasts the chance to wear the beautiful items. So, I styled an outfit for Meagan, had a little photo shoot, and here are the results!
Brocade is such a huge trend this fall and I can definitely see why. It is one of my personal favorites because no matter what, you will look decadent in this vintage pattern. This particular jacket was found in the men's section at my local Goodwill, but I couldn't just leave it there. Several of my guy friends have tried it on and, despite the fact that many of them are skinny runners, it didn't fit any of them.
I came across the leather pants-now-shorts in a similar fashion. The label inside says size 11/12, but they make the perfect high waisted shorts for a size 2-4. Paired with tights and a knit sweater, I think these shorts are such an amazing staple for the colder months. I had originally intended to keep them for myself, but I think they would be much better suited for someone a wee bit taller.
To purchase these things (or some prints of my photography!), check out my Etsy shop. The listing for the jacket is here and the shorts are here.

Scheduling Family Keeping
14 comments:
I've so been enjoying this series!! Currently my two oldest keep Nature Journals and a Timeline similar to your children's. I keep a Common Place and I'm seriously thinking of starting a BoC myself so that I will have a good idea of how that goes for my son who will be in Y4 next year. I do not keep a nature journal, I seriously dislike drawing because I have no talent. So it stresses more than blesses. But I love lists!! So I think my nature journal that I have a whole 2 entries in might just become more of a calendar of firsts/life lists. Your idea is beautiful and very open to more words and less drawing. I love it! =)ReplyDelete
This series and Brandy's notebooking series have really helped me to flesh out keeping in a way that is CM, but also practical for a life w littles and a family w multiple years of AO w more coming up. So thank you again!!
I am curious about your children's copywork/copybook. Basically they do 2 or 3 days of print copywork they chose and 2 or 3 days of cursive that is more focused on formation? I am asking because we do something similar w my oldest in Y3. We alternate as ya'll do. Cursive is more learning formation right now. But his copywork (in print) he choses 2 days and I chose 1 day, but it's not really common placing. It's more to have exposure to beautiful language, work on spelling and some discussion about very basic grammar. So w your kid's copywork do you just have them put it in their copybook and let it be common place or do you actually discuss it with them to help learn grammar, spelling, etc?
Also, since I've already written a book I will ask one more question. Have ya'll started written narration? My Y3 is 9 and he does 1 written narration a week. We focus on getting thoughts on paper in an interesting way, not making corrections at this point. Although I do note horrible misspellings so that I can put them into the once a week copywork selection that I chose for him. If your children do their copywork as more common placing, then how do you cover working on spelling and grammar? Or do you not do that at this point?
I love reading your blog, because we have kids of similar ages, although I only have 4. =)Replies
Hi Virginia -- Love that you say"only 4"! LOLDelete
I should actually post some recent photos of my nature journal because although I do really enjoy drawing and painting and appreciate the detailed observation it requires, I also do a lot of writing in my nature journal--it is mostly writing, really. I like keeping notes of our outings, seasonal changes, etc. I definitely think that there are many beneficial ways to keep a nature journal. :)
Yes, you described their penmanship schedule exactly: two days printing into their copybook, two days cursive on practice pages. As for your question about the difference between commonplacing and copywork--I see the two activities as overlapping quite easily. I do have my kids choose their copywork from their school books only, so that ensures that the selections they are copying are of literary value. The act of copying helps their spelling visualization and internalization of grammatical patterns. So yes, they're making a copybook of favorite quotes, and yes, they're learning spelling and grammar as they are doing that. The two aren't necessarily mutually exclusive. I occasionally call attention to spelling patterns, word families, punctuation rules, etc., but they have been picking that up fairly naturally up until now, so I haven't needed to do much other than let the copying itself work its magic. ;) But I imagine how heavy-handed a child needs his spelling/grammar lessons to be varies quite a bit based on personality and natural ability. If my children were struggling more with writing skills, I would be more intentional about discussing their copywork. That said, I still think their choosing their own quotes and keeping them in a little book is of value--at least based on my kids' response to the activity. They have much more ownership over their penmanship practice since they became old enough to do it this way. Long story short: grammar and spelling has been very low-key around here so far and will be until Year 4. :)
As for written narrations: we do very few and are waiting until next year to add that skill in a routine way. They do a couple for exams and maybe two a month beyond that, just for something different. They do quite a bit of writing for fun outside of school time, though, so I do see problem areas that need addressing. (For my son mostly--he is the math-brained one, while my daughter is a natural writer/speller.) My son keeps a list of words he doesn't know how to spell but wants to learn. He refers to it several times a week. And I do encourage him to keep that list grouped by word families when applicable, so I think that helps too. But we don't do any other spelling/grammar.
Anyway, I'm not sure if that all makes sense. Let me know if it doesn't! :)
Thanks, Celeste! Makes perfect sense. My daughter in Y1 seems like she will be similar in the writing/spelling ability to your daughter. I'm already seeing some of this just in her free time. My son (9) does beautiful written narrations, interesting and concise. I know others have said this takes awhile for their children. With him, it just flows out. But his spelling is scary. I mean it amazes me how he spells things. I think he gets so busy writing his thoughts on paper, he does not even try to spell. In Y4 we will start dictation, so I'm hoping that helps. I've used his copywork to help, but we've focused on just a handful of words that way. He catches onto grammar so easily through help in copywork, but not spelling. It's funny, he reads widely and very well. But I see that he's really going to need the "rules" of spelling pointed out to him. That's why I was curious as to your copywork and what y'all do in the spelling/grammr area.Delete
And I would love to see some of your nature journal pages that are more writing! Although if I could draw and paint as you do I would love filling my pages that way. Even with the little time you have to do it your sketches or water colors are always beautiful.
Thank you so much, Virginia. :)Delete
This is a good idea, Celeste! I admit to be more of a "fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants" type person, but I do schedule things for the children within "school" hours to get it done. I need to do that more faithfully with things like handicrafts or they just don't happen. Thanks for sharing!ReplyDelete
Love, love, love this post, Celeste! SO much food for thought and so lovely too :-) Do you have special commonplace journals for your children? I was thinking of doing that with my boys as well. I too am curious about your children's copywork/copybook. I clicked on a few links and found another lovely...your binder timeline :-) Love that too! Do you place all of it in the same binder? If so, what do you include in there? I am thinking I need to schedule our time similarly to what you have mentioned because you are right, things get eliminated quickly if they are not intentionally written in a schedule. Working my way through The Living Page and loving everything you have to add! Thanks for sharing!ReplyDeleteReplies
Their copybooks are hard-cover, wide-ruled notebooks that I found at Walmart. I bought a few to have on hand because I was so pleased with them. :)Delete
Their binders are separate and hold their binder timeline, mapwork, cursive penmanship pages, drawing drill pages, memory work print-outs and so on.
With your binder timelines, did you do that freehand or did you use a template?
I am trying to do it on the computer to make all the sheets the same, but, it is not working out for me.
Thanks so much for your thoughts. You don't realize what a HUGE inspiration and help you've been this year.
Thank you, thank you, thank you sweet friend!
I'm happy to help, Ann-Marie! I drew a blank template with a ruler and marker onto paper (no dates--just the lines) and then photocopied that onto cardstock, front and back, for however many pages I needed. Then I wrote in the years with marker.Delete
This is so helpful, Celeste! I've been thinking about tweaks that we need to make to our schedule now that I have two 'official' students, and this is very helpful. I never thought of adding nature journal, timeline entries, and mapwork to her checklist...that might be the solution.ReplyDeleteReplies
Yes, I think having these Keeping assignments on their personal checklists makes these habits a bit more independent. We usually do our Keeping together, but when we don't, they know it's their responsibility to get in that minimum. And my motivation is the same as yours: next year I'll have two in Year 4, one in Year 1, and one in kinder...so transitioning to independence is high on my list of priorities. ;)Delete
You have inspired me!ReplyDelete

3 tips to connect with your consumers
As a public relations firm it is our job to keep our client happy. However, it is important to remember that our client also has a client. We will fondly refer to them as "consumers."
The consumers drive our clients" business, which is turn drives our clients to towards us. It is a bit like a love triangle that must find a way to never fall out of love.
Getting the consumer"s attention is half of the battle. Here are three tips to making sure your consumer doesn"t look away.
- Be visible. Get journalist to write about your product. Bring reporters out to events where your client is available. Being newsworthy makes the task of maintaining media relations worthwhile.
- Be worthy of word of mouth. The oldest method in the book is also one of the most productive. Personal testimonies Du bestemmer selv hvordan du spiller, og slik sett er det faktisk du som lager dine egne roulette regler. from consumers whether it be to their neighbors or their 2,000 friends on Facebook is going to keep you in the spotlight. However, your product must be word of mouth worthy and not only live up to, but exceed your consumers" expectations.
- Be human. If your consumer finds you approachable they will build up loyalty to your brand. Feeling overwhelmed does not encourage a consumer to come back for more. Feeling like there is an actual human touch in the brand will draw them in and invite them to stay.
As I continue my journey at Full Circle PR, I am diving into reading material, learning the culture of our clients and looking out for what our competition is doing to pull the consumer in. I have begun to think like a consumer as I write social media post and ask questions about improving our tactics. It is amazing how quickly you become more proactive in your thinking as you immerse yourself within your client. I encourage you to find one article each week that your consumer base may read. This will put you on the track to understanding them even better.
How can you take that material and turn it into a connection between you and the consumer?

Springtime in Japan is so beautiful! Not only are the cherry blossoms so fun to see, but there are other flowers blooming all over the place! And, not too far from the base are these incredible tulip fields! They're right in the middle of a bunch of homes and farms--when we went to see them, I felt as though we'd left Japan and were in Holland or something! It was crazy.
Will was totally into taking pictures of the flowers. It was so funny. And, afterward, he told Peter that that was really fun, even though he didn't think it would be :)

Apparently, some things really do get better with age.
Today's Washington Post reports on a spate of recent studies that suggest getting older doesn't just bring aches and pains and health problems. It also brings happiness.
Several studies have produced a stream of evidence that…happens to overturn one of the most stubborn American stereotypes: the belief that this is a land whose gifts, charms and joys flow mostly to young people. The studies show that when you check on how happy people are at various ages, the elderly generally come out ahead.
The report highlights 50,000 detailed interviews with Americans, repeated year after year as part of the General Social Survey, to enable researchers to see how the same people change over time.
"One important finding was people who were biologically older are happier than younger adults," said Tom W. Smith, of the University of Chicago and director of the General Social Survey, in an interview with The Post.
The finding wasn't due to the fact that older people are more stoic or were taught from an early age to be content. The researchers found people older than 65 had not always been happy. It was being older that led to the contentment that many of them felt, The Post reports.
Dr. Smith found that older people reported a larger number of health problems but tended to report far fewer difficulties overall — fewer financial, interpersonal and crime problems. The younger adults, Smith said, had less trouble with their health but had many more of the other kinds of predicaments, and those, in the long run, tended to trump their better health.
"It is counter to most people's expectations," Dr. Smith said. "People would expect it to be in the opposite direction — you start off by saying older people have illnesses, deaths of spouses — they must be less happy."

Color Club - Diva Driver
Gifted from Jeanie
I seriously envy you girls who keep up nail blogs while working full time - I'm struggling at the moment to even read blogger nevermind make a post. Life is just extremely busy at the moment and days where I used to be able to have a few hours of "me" time have turned into having meetings, doing school events or Christmas shopping. School ends in a fortnight for summer holidays and I have discovered my next free weekend is in mid January - ugh.
Anyway enough ranting ... here is a beautiful colour that I picked out to wear on the weekend for a wedding [yes another wedding!! Tis the season]
This is Color Club Diva Driver and it's a beautiful pinky purple that seems to change which one it is more like depending on the sunlight. It's a very vibrant and bright colour with high gloss without a topcoat. I've only used 2 coats and it applied perfectly with no lumps or bumps and it dried quickly.
I decided to glam it up with some stamping from Konad plate m82 using Face of Australia Molten Metallics in White Gold [one day i'll get the hang of these flower stamps and make sure they all face the same direction!!]
*Final Verdict*
An extremely easy to use polish that is bright and happy. In hindsight I probably should have stamped in white instead of white gold but the effect still looks fantastic and what I wanted.
Hopefully I'll be back posting regularly again soon - I'm in a bit of Christmas mood now that wedding season has finished and I'll need to have my nails reflecting that!!

November 8, 1998The Damned Outnumber the Rest
Sixty-eight short stories to read while waiting for the apocalypse.

Featured Author: T. Coraghessan Boyle Excerpt: 'T. C. Boyle Stories'
By JIM SHEPARD
The Collected Stories of T. Coraghessan Boyle.
691 pp. New York:
Viking. $35.
he fact that I've just negotiated almost 700 pages of T. C. Boyle's short fiction -- who else of his generation could have assembled, by this point, a ''Collected Stories'' the size of the Phoenix white pages? -- and I'm not sick to death of it attests to its overall inventiveness, flash and just plain entertainment value. Everything is here, each of the stories from Boyle's four previous collections plus seven new stories, a staggering 68 in all: the blasphemous and the hilarious, the maddening and the moving, the weak and the strong.
Over the course of his career, Boyle has been compared to everybody but Sappho, and there's probably no escaping name-dropping when discussing his fiction, since he's always trying on voices and forms, rummaging through the toy box and pulling out, for his own purposes, other people's shticks. He has S. J. Perelman's affection for the absurdities of pop culture as starting point (''De Rerum Natura'' begins, ''The inventor is in his laboratory, white smock, surgical mask, running afoul of the laws of nature'') as well as his understanding of the comic potential of craven narrators propelled mostly by their baser instincts: libido, hunger, self-preservation. He has Robert Coover's wicked sense of the flimsiness of our received cultural representations of goodness and virtue. (In the early and hilarious ''Heart of a Champion,'' Lassie's rigorous A.K.C. morality and trouble-at-the-dam heroism give way to her darker impulses.) He has Donald Barthelme's gift for deadpan comic premises (''The Hit Man'' begins, ''The Hit Man's early years are complicated by the black bag that he wears over his head'') and for Osterizing high and low culture: ''The son threatened to waste his father. He did not, restrained no doubt by considerations of filial loyalty and the deep-seated taboos against patricide that permeate the universal unconscious.''
And then there are the parodies, which have as their usual M.O. the collision of the canon with the mingy, statureless aspects of contemporary culture. Kafka's hunger artist becomes a publicity-grubbing cross between one of the Wallendas and Evel Knievel. ''The Overcoat II'' puts a Soviet spin on the travails of Gogol's hapless protagonist. Hemingway takes a double beating, once for ''The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber'' (this time the female sports Banana Republic shorts and an N.R.A. marksmanship award) and once for ''For Whom the Bell Tolls,'' with Robert Jordan's cowardly and inept slacker of a grandson fighting contras in Nicaragua.
''We Are Norsemen'' posits a Woody Allen type as a warrior bard singing of mayhem and plunder. (''Some of us wore our twin-horned battle helmets, the sight of which interrupts the vital functions of our victims and enemies and inspires high-keyed vibrato.'') And ''Green Hell'' levels the whole travel-disaster subgenre with one swipe, confirming that no one does cartoon catastrophe with more panache: ''The plane is nosing for the ground at a 45-degree angle, engines wheezing, spewing smoke and feathers. Lights flash, breathing apparatus drops and dangles. Our drinks become lariats, the glasses knives.''
Boyle is drawn to that ''look of the mad saint,'' to the obsessive, the mortifier of the flesh. He's like ''Flannery O'Connor with a television and no church,'' as Lorrie Moore once put it, and at first glance his landscapes -- full of comic ignorance, incipient violence and the continual oppressive sense of an unsparing judgment about to be rendered -- strongly resemble O'Connor's. But setting his energetic godlessness aside, Boyle's work seems more Calvinist than Catholic: most of the time, the question of who's among the elect and who's damned -- the latter stupendously outnumbering the former -- seems inexorably predetermined. In a world divided into predators and a kind of evolutionary backwash that constitutes their prey, the socioeconomic group that can be described as ''the end product of psychosomatic dieting and the tanning salon'' is singled out for repeated scourging. Special contempt is heaped upon ''the miser, the hoarder, the burrowing squirrel.'' The collection opens with ''Modern Love,'' about a woman who brings disposable sanitary sheets to public theaters and requests a ''full-body condom'' when making love, and closes with ''Filthy With Things,'' about a married couple suffering from ''acquisitive disorders.'' A nether ring of Boyle's Inferno seems reserved for real estate developers.
Pablo Campos/ Viking
T. Coraghessan Boyle
There's a continuing preoccupation with the approaching apocalypse, as well as the thematic motif of yuppie fecklessness and complicity in the face of disaster. In ''A Bird in Hand,'' 10 million birds assault a homeowner's little grove of trees while his wife is ''concentrating on a tricky picot stitch.'' Far better, in this worldview, either to get down into the muck, to ''partake once more of the seething life of pond, puddle and ditch,'' or become the predator (animals throughout these stories -- whales, elephants, even frogs -- represent a Lawrentian model of decisiveness and passion) and be shaken to your primordial root by ''the pounce, the slash, the crack of sinew and bone . . . terrifying and wonderful.''
Accordingly, there's a lot of playing at badness -- characters who ''thought they were hip and depraved, thought they were nihilists and libertines, thought they'd invented sex'' -- and a lot of the real thing. Boyle is chillingly good at noncomic psychos, whether they're stalking a solitary forest ranger in her fire tower in ''Sitting on Top of the World'' or mailing apiarian death threats to adoptive parents in ''King Bee.'' The apogee of this Darwinian strain may be found in what might be called the Konrad stories: in ''Descent of Man,'' the evolutionary weakness of humans is enacted by the narrator's realization that he's losing his scientist lover to Konrad, an increasingly intimidating chimpanzee. In its sequel, ''The Ape Lady in Retirement,'' Konrad returns to enact, with a different woman, one of the collection's most explicit versions of a thumb-wrestling match between Eros and Thanatos.
Much of the comedy in Boyle's work resides in his similes, and in the offhand or theatrical harshness of the worldview they reveal: ice in a glass rattles like ''loose teeth spat into a cup.'' Someone's eyes seem to ''swell out of his head like hard-cooked eggs extruded through the sockets.'' Such similes can be strung together to further bury a still-twitching victim: a daughter's hand lies across a father's palm ''like a demolished building, a cement truck, glacial moraine.''
It's hard to read 68 of these stories without becoming convinced of the advantages of a ''Selected'' -- as opposed to ''Collected'' -- ''Works.'' Some stories echo one another. (''Hopes Rise'' seems to be a later and more successful version of ''Whales Weep.'') Boyle is a particularly premise-driven writer, and for every great idea played out with wit and ingenuity -- ''I Dated Jane Austen,'' or Idi Amin as the centerpiece of a Dada festival, or a Beat Christmas with Jack and the gang all underfoot in Mrs. Kerouac's living room while Mario Lanza blares carols on the radio -- there's a premise so well trammeled that you can't help wondering if it was taken on as some sort of challenge. There's the warmed-over Sartre-meets-Kafka of ''The Big Garage'' and the ''Tales From the Crypt'' tire-iron irony of ''The Devil and Irv Cherniske,'' in which a yuppie sells his soul to the Devil in exchange for more material goods. In ''Hard Sell,'' a publicity flack negotiates a makeover for the Ayatollah. ''The Little Chill'' stamps flat the self-absorbed concerns of Lawrence Kasdan's film. It's like watching 16-inch guns blow long-since-riddled wrecks out of the water. In the least interesting of these stories, the protagonists are straw dummies who get steamrollered and dragged to and fro to demonstrate that it's a ferocious world out there. In the best -- stories like ''If the River Was Whiskey,'' ''The Fog Man,'' ''Without a Hero'' and ''Stones in My Passway, Hellhound on My Trail'' -- a genuine sadness is glimpsed amid all the suffering, and the feelings generated are not simply visceral.
The good news for Boyle fans is that his more recent stories suggest an increasing willingness to stay committed to the human beings under examination. ''Mexico,'' one of the newest, renders with heartbreaking empathy, rather than contempt, ''the voice of a loser, a fat man, the maker of bad guesses and worse decisions.'' Which is a development the author may have foreseen as far back as ''De Rerum Natura'' in 1976. In that story, an all-powerful and endlessly quirky inventor is asked, ''And which of your myriad inventions gives you the greatest personal satisfaction?'' He answers, ''Those to come.''
Jim Shepard's most recent books are a novel, ''Nosferatu,'' and a collection of stories, ''Batting Against Castro.''

Jay Dee Springbett has been found dead.
The 36-year-old Sony music executive, who was brought in as a judge on the final series of Australian Idol to replace Kyle Sandilands in 2009, was discovered in a room at a Wooloomooloo hotel late yesterday.
A New South Wales Police spokesperson told the Herald Sun that the death was not suspicious but did not give a reason behind it.
Springbett worked with acts such as Cassie Davis, Jessica Mauboy, Rogue Traders and Karnivool during his career.
Earlier this year, he was romantically linked to Mauboy after they were spotted together at a Rihanna concert, but her manager David Champion said: "[It's] absolute nonsense and about as likely as Jess running off with Prince William."
In November 2010, Springbett was apparently involved in a brawl outside his Sydney office after a former flatmate attacked him over a personal issue.

Project: An amino-acid sequence database of proteins from 2D-gels : a systematic analysis of normal and pathological human cells during differentiation and development.
- Abstract
- Protein-markers which are specific for phenotypic alterations of human cells and tissues during differentiation and development will be identified by 2D-gel analysis. This will also cover pathological cells. The marker proteins will be further characterized by partial micro-amino acid sequence analysis using electroblatting and in situ membrane digestion techniques.

Over the past 10 years, I've spoken in schools and churches, to youth and adults. I've given classes on scripture to groups of 15 and talks on conscience to more than 500. I've spoken at retreats and workcamps and confirmation classes, but it's always been secondary to my vocation as a teacher.
In May of 2012, the Lord put it on my heart to give myself over to a full time speaking ministry. Right now, I'm totally available and open to whatever needs your church or school might have. My real passion is for inspiring others to be sold out for Christ, to quit sitting on the edge of the boat and start walking on water. So I speak about truth, giving a defense of various Catholic teachings so that convicted minds can inspire impassioned lives. I speak about chastity and family life so that teens can learn to live what they believe and parents can love their kids all the way to heaven. I speak about the desperate love of Christ, who holds us in His pierced hands and makes the Christian life worth living.
Here are some of the many topics I speak on:
Truth (Catholic and Christian Apologetics)
Catholic Apologetics Boot Camp—a longer workshop defending the teachings of the Church
Is Jesus God?
What Makes Us Catholic: The Reformation and what Truly Divides Us
I Will Not Leave You Orphans: the Eucharist as Christ's Promised Presence
Confession: How Peer Pressure Saved My Soul
Mama's Family: Life with the Blessed Virgin Mary
Goodness (Morality and the Christian Life)
Radical Discipleship: Living with Your Eyes on Heaven
My Boyfriend Walks on Water: Keeping Christ as Your Standard for Men–for teen girls or single women
The Most Important Man in Her Life: Loving Your Daughters as God Loves Them–for men
Be a Man: Honoring the Women in Your Life–for teen boys
Beauty (Prayer and Discernment)
Welcome to Teaching: You're Going to Fail (on embracing the Cross in the classroom)
You Are Precious in My Sight, You Are Beautiful, and I Love You: Living in the Love of God–for women
Scripture Meditations
And, if you want, I'll sing (although we'll all prefer it if you provide an accompanist for me).

- A Three-Decade History of the Duration of Peer Review
- Journal of Scholarly Publishing
- University of Toronto Press
- Volume 44, Number 3, April 2013
- pp. 211-220
- Article
- View Citation
- Additional Information
Review time is the duration between submission of a manuscript for possible publication and the author's receipt of notification of the editor's decision. There are two key questions about the peer-review process: (1) Has average review time changed over the past several decades? and (2) Has the adoption of online submission reduced average review time? A sample of 170 manuscripts submitted to a variety of journals from 1980 through 2012 indicates (1) no statistically significant difference between average review time for manuscripts submitted to behavioural science journals (mean = 14.8 weeks) and average review time for manuscripts submitted to natural history journals (mean = 15.2 weeks); (2) a statistically significant decrease from 1980 to 2012 in average review time irrespective of form of submission (i.e., paper or electronic); and (3) manuscripts submitted in paper form (1980–2009) had an average review time five weeks longer than that of manuscripts submitted online or electronically (2004–2012).

You probably guessed that the answer is yes, I can. And you want to know how I came up with the idea to make them? Normally if I have a craving for dumplings, I go down the road to a handy Japanese place where there's a whole section dedicated to steamed goods, but honestly, it's the pan-fried dumplings that get me. I'm devoted to the standard, half-moon shaped goodies. So my idea did not stem from a craving. Instead, I still had dried shrimp leftover from making pad thai and it was just sitting in the back of my fridge, not doing anything but perhaps leaking a faint fishy smell. So onto my old standby, search for dried shrimp and dumplings pops up. I just wanted to glance at the recipe to see how intimidating it would be, but it got lots of good reviews and didn't look too bad. I also think I have this unexplained prejudice against won-ton wrappers and pre-made store bought doughs, but this recipe called for you to mix together your own flour and water and that's it. Very easy.
One thing I was lacking, though, was a steamer. I always eye the bamboo steamers in the Chinese shop, and think how I want one, but I'd only actually use it for tamales. So I went with the pan-frying method, which ended up being pretty much steamed except for a little crispy bit on the bottom. These turned out delicious and I would make them again, trying different fillings and sauces.
And a little side note: although I made these almost specifically because I had dried shrimp, I don't think that's an essential ingredient, and if you don't have or can't find, make them anyways.
Pork and Spring Onion Dumplings
Adapted from epicurious.com
2 c flour
1 c boiling water
2 tsp dried shrimp
2 tsp Chinese rice wine, or medium-dry Sherry (I used Sherry, I mean, I'm in Spain)
¼ medium head of cabbage, roughly chopped
½ tsp salt
1 lb ground pork (I bought a package of pork sausages and just removed the casing)
3 green onions, green part only, chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped
1/8 tsp fresh ginger, finely grated
3 Tbsp soy sauce
1 Tbsp oyster sauce (I didn't have any so used fish sauce)
½ tsp sesame oil
1 egg, beaten
¼ tsp ground black pepper
soy sauce
fish sauce
lime juice
green onion
fresh chilies
For the dough, mix the flour, water, and salt in a bowl. Mix with a wooden spoon until the dough forms a ball, then knead on a floured surface until smooth and shiny, 6-8 minutes. Wrap in plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature for 20 minutes.
While that's resting, you can make the filling. What epicurious doesn't mention is that for dried shrimp, you need to soak them for about 30 minutes in water until they get soft, then pat them dry and mince them up into tiny bits. You don't really want to get a whole hunk of dried shrimp in a bite, just the flavor. So when everything for the filling is chopped and grated, mix it all together by hand until evenly distributed. Put in the fridge until you're ready to fill the dumplings.
Now it's time to make the wrappers. Epicurious suggest a gnocchi method: divide the dough into three, roll each piece into a log, and then cut of 1-inch sections and roll those into a flat circle for each dumpling. I tried this and found that I had irregular shaped circles and it didn't work so well. So then I tried rolling it out, like normal pastry, but very thin, then I took a large glass and traced the edge, so all my circles were uniform. And after you trace each individual wrapper, I would stretch it out a bit, to make it even thinner, and it's pretty elasticky dough so it should be ok. When you have all your wrappers ready, get a glass with water and dip your finger in it and trace the edge of the circle. You'll see that if you put too much water it won't close together, so just a quick brush on each half of the circle will do it. Then in the middle place a little scoop of the filling and close it to make a half circle, pressing along the edges to seal. Now, if you're feeling creative, you can kind of pleat the edges over themselves and make little folds (epicurious tries to explain the method, but I thought it was confusing, and it's just better to experiment a little with a few, folding the dough around and stuff). Now you're ready to cook them. The key here is non-stick pan. I didn't have one big enough because you're going to need to fill it with water, and I only had a very shallow non-stick, so I used regular, which resulted in lots of the bottoms of dumplings being stuck to the pan. Sad smiley. Anyways, in a non-stick pan, heat up some oil until warm over medium-high heat. Add the dumplings, as many as will fit in the pan without touching and fry for a minute or two so that the bottoms get crispy and golden. Then pour cold water in to come half-way up the sides of the dumplings. Cover them and cook until the liquid is mostly evaporated, steaming the dumplings (probably 8-10 minutes). Remove with a spatula (you might want to test one first to make sure they're done), I put on a plate with a paper towel just to get the excess water, and then serve and eat with the dumpling sauce.
Oh yeah, the sauce. I didn't really mention how to make that, but instead listed ingredients. Dipping sauces are up to you, if you want spicy, throw in lots of fresh chili, if you like strictly soy sauce, go ahead. Those are just the ingredients I like to use in mine, so you can pick and choose as you please.

Tuesday is Sno-Ball day!
The song Lick it Up by KISS is, quite possibly, the worst song every recorded.
I mean to write a follow-up to yesterday's entry about technology, but I just can't find the words. I want to write about education, but everything I get on paper is incoherent. I'll keep trying.
This will come as no surprise to most of you, but getting more sleep makes me feel more rested. Amazing! Consider:
I get up at 5:30 during the week. Kris likes to be to sleep by ten on most nights, but I just can't do that. I sit in bed reading, or web surfing, or — Kris' favorite — writing weblog entries. I generally don't try to sleep until eleven, and it often takes me half an hour to fall asleep. Net result: six hours of sleep, and I often feel exhausted.
While Nick has been in Italy the past few weeks — he just drove in for his first day back to work — I've been living a life of luxury. I've been coming to work at nine, which means I can get up at 7:30. 7:30! Omigod. You cannot imagine how pampered I've felt. If I follow my normal routine, I'm getting eight hours of sleep. Even if I stay up til midnight to, say, play World of Warcraft, and even if it takes me a half hour to get to sleep, I'm still getting an extra hour of sleep. Even seven hours is far superior to six.
What is the moral of this story? I'm exhausted all the time, but I really don't have to be.
Remember my hypothesis that obsessive play of World of Warcraft was a contributing factor to my recent bout of depression? Preliminary anecdotal evidence would seem to indicate that this is, indeed, the case.
Since I wrote about my problem last Friday, I've played the game only once, for three hours on Monday afternoon. I had fun, and I didn't feel like I was neglecting anything.
I feel great. Kris remarked last night how much my mood has improved over the past few days. It's as if I've awakened from a stupor.
In January I wrote about a moment of self-actualization. This moment actually came about a week into a one-month period during which I set aside the game for other priorities.
Coincidence? I think not.
My fiscal responsibility program continues to work wonders.
Before October, I had a savings rate of zero. I never saved money. I didn't feel pressed for cash (in the long term), but I never accumulated any capital.
When Tony left Custom Box, we restructured salaries in such a way that I began earning an extra $400 a month (which is a lot of money). Then I paid off all of my debts, which freed up another $350 a month. Finally, I've been working to reduce discretionary spending, and have been able to trim another $250 a month. Do you see that total?
In about six months time, I've gone from saving nothing to being able to save $1000 a month. Unbelievable. My mind boggles. (Of course, at the moment all of this money is being poured into our bathroom remodel, but still: in theory, I'll be able to save a lot in the near future.)
Here are two examples of how I've reduced my discretionary spending, both of which involve books. (Remember that last year I spent over $200 on books and comics every month. (It's difficult to separate those two number because I buy most of my comics in book form.))
Last week I placed a small order with Amazon. This order has been in-process for about ten days, and because it's still active and I haven't received the books yet, it acts as a kind of mental stop preventing me from wanting to buy more. Because I already have a book order in process, I feel no need to obtain other books. Strange, but effective.
Except for last night.
We were in Portland running errands for the bathroom remodel. I insisted that we stop at Powell's. I wandered the store for half an hour, picking up Latin texts, books by Wendell Berry, Modern Library editions of favorite classics, a compilation of James Bond comic strips, and several other fine volumes. When I sat down with my basket, I had over $100 worth of books. I took them out one-by-one, deliberating. In the end, I decided on a set of Latin texts and the latest Wendell Berry anthology. On the walk to the cash register, I changed my mind. Ultimately, I purchased only the Wendell Berry anthology, which, ironically, had been the first book I picked up. Even six months ago, this scenario would have had a completely different conclusion.
Last year I spent $200+ per month on books. This month I've only spent $77. I'm not sure if it's possible for me to reduce this much further, but I'll try.
At last the sun has returned. After our month-long festival of early spring sunshine, we suffered a month of wet and grey. It seems, however, that things have returned to normal. We'll even have highs around seventy for the next few days. I like that.
Have you heard the Kiss song "let's put the X in sex"...it is much worse....much worse.

Wow, you got a fairly large raise to essentially do the same thing you where doing when Tony was there. Now what is it again you do at Custom Box????????????? :) or maybe it should be:( .

I'd have to agree with Rich, X in Sex is much worse.
The video for Lick it Up is definitely in the running for worst video of all time, even by 80's hairband video standards.

John Huarte is one of the most unlikely Heisman Trophy winners in the history of the award. Coming off an injury-plagued sophomore year and limited junior campaign, first-year head coach Ara Parseghian named Huarte the starting quarterback going into the 1964 season.
ParseghianÂ?s trust in Huarte paid huge dividends, as Huarte broke virtually every Notre Dame single-season passing record, won the Heisman Trophy and led the Irish to a 9-1 record. A second-round draft pick by the New York Jets, Huarte was a backup quarterback in the NFL with Boston, Philadelphia, Minnesota, Kansas City and Chicago from 1965-72. The owner of Arizona Tile Company, Huarte has proven to be a highly successful businessman, expanding his company to six branches.

Jodie Emery and 4/20 on Cannabis in Canada.
1 Comment
high my names Jason Wilcox and I'm the most fucking awkward pothead in Canada!!! LOL jk bro..You have some sick camera skills.
420 was epic here in the states, It's like a major trend now for everyone to get stoned on 420 I swear to god I've never seen it like it was. And people aren't mad about it, it's even funny to older people who years ago would have shoved your hand in hot water if they heard you even mention the word pot. Even hardcore christian friends of mine are saying shit like well if god wanted the plant to grow….blah blah. I was just really suprised.

Whether it was due to the superstardom of Conor McGregor, the aftereffects of a $4 billion sale or a variety of other factors, 2017 was unlike any other year in UFC history.
Before we dive headfirst into 2018, let's look back at the key moments that shaped the organization in 2017.
1. Conor McGregor boxes Floyd Mayweather in Las Vegas (August)
The whole thing was surreal. Even now, nearly five months later, you can almost convince yourself it never happened. It couldn't have, right? Surely, the UFC did not lend its 29-year-old lightweight champion to boxing, to serve as the final opponent to an undefeated Floyd Mayweather (sigh). Well, it happened. And yeah, it was a good bit of fun while it lasted. But as we enter 2018, with no assurances of when McGregor will fight again (or if he'll fight again), it doesn't really seem worth it. Unless you're McGregor.
2. Jon Jones reclaims light heavyweight throne, fails drug test (July)
MMA got to celebrate the return of Jones for nearly one month, before it was all taken away. Again. The fact is, MMA is so much better with Jon Jones. He's the kind of talent that only comes along once in a generation. He's interesting, in part because he's polarizing. And he's still only 30! His victory over a rival in Daniel Cormier was one of the best nights of the year. And the day the UFC announced he'd been flagged for a failed drug test was one of the worst. It's still unknown when he'll return.
3. Georges St-Pierre wins middleweight championship, vacates it after one month (November)
A former welterweight champion returns from a four-year layoff, is gifted an immediate title shot at middleweight, wins, and then vacates that title 31 days later -- against the clear wishes of UFC president Dana White. Not only did this situation in New York affect the UFC's middleweight division in 2017, it exemplified the "Money Fight" era the UFC has entered. And, of course, it added to St-Pierre's legacy, possibly cementing him as the greatest of all time.
4. Tony Ferguson predicts Khabib Nurmagomedov's tough weight cut; Nurmagomedov later hospitalized (March)
The lightweight division was mostly stagnant in 2017. And while the majority of blame can be directed at McGregor, the events of March 2 didn't help. An interim fight between Ferguson and Nurmagomedov was scheduled for March 4 in Las Vegas. During a staredown two days before, Ferguson told Nurmagomedov, "Have fun with that weight cut." That night, Nurmagomedov was hospitalized due to complications of the weight cut. The fight never happened. Still hasn't. Maybe in 2018.
5. Demetrious Johnson breaks UFC record at Las Vegas event shortly after mass shooting rocks the city (October)
An unforgettable event. Johnson broke Anderson Silva's record of 10 consecutive UFC title defenses -- and did it in style, submitting Ray Borg with a suplex-armbar no one had ever seen before. This event was bigger than just Johnson, however, as it occurred six days after a deadly shooting rocked the entire city. There was talk about canceling the event, but it ultimately went forward. The UFC honored victims and first responders throughout the night.
6. The fall of Jose Aldo ... and the rise of Max Holloway (June, December)
Some will say the fall of Aldo took place in December 2015, when he was knocked out by Conor McGregor in just 13 seconds. But that's not the full story. Aldo bounced back in 2016 with a win over Frankie Edgar -- but when it became clear he wasn't getting a McGregor rematch, he grew bitter and has never looked the same. He spoke about wanting to box, and walking away from MMA. Holloway was all too willing to take Aldo's throne, finishing him twice, and appears poised to rule featherweight with an iron fist.
7. Cris 'Cyborg' Justino fights Holly Holm (December)
This fight was years in the making. Not just Cyborg vs. Holm, but Cyborg vs. "someone with even the slimmest of a chance." For years, this sport has watched Justino wallop one overmatched opponent after another. And for years, it praised her as one of the best fighters in the world while also wondering how much that had to do with her lack of quality opponents. Holm didn't win the fight, but she put up a fight -- and that alone was enough.
8. Rose Namajunas stuns Joanna Jedrzejczyk in New York (November)
Frankly, few thought Namajunas had a chance. And the ones who did weren't guessing it would be by knockout. There was no greater example of "rising to the occasion" in 2017 than Namajunas' win over Jedrzejczyk. She turned the tables on Jedrzejczyk's prefight intimidation tactics and knocked out the feared striker in under one round. You consider the opponent, the event, the venue, the pressure on Namajunas in this fight -- to give that kind of performance? Remarkable.
9. Daniel Cormier's 'Towelgate' (April)
Welp. Cormier ruined it for everyone. The "towel trick" can never be used again. Prior to his light heavyweight title defense against Anthony Johnson at UFC 210 in Buffalo, Cormier initially missed the 205-pound championship weight by 1.2 pounds. Complete disaster. But then, Cormier disappeared for two minutes, resurfaced and, lo and behold, weighed 205 pounds. Was it a miracle? No. Cormier, who had disrobed to shed every pound, blatantly pressed down on an outstretched towel in front of him. The New York commission missed it, and it approved the weight. Months later, it rewrote some of its own rules to prevent a future repeat. If you ain't cheatin', you ain't tryin'.
10. Michael Bisping throws his own title at Robert Whittaker, storms out of Octagon (July)
High comedy. And arguably, one of the most symbolic moments of the bender that was Bisping's title reign. Look, Bisping is a legend. Future Hall of Famer. Warrior. One of the best professional fighters ever. But his time as a champion went completely off the rails. And this image of him inexplicably throwing his own belt at the feet of a legitimate challenger in Whittaker, who had just beaten Yoel Romero, then storming out of the cage was too perfect. Of course, Bisping never fought Whittaker. He went on to lose to St-Pierre, who also (symbolically) threw his own middleweight title at Whittaker's feet.

Reuters has more details on today's planned meeting at the White House with game industry representatives to discuss attempts to shift blame for gun violence onto video games. The meeting was called by President Trump who expressed a need for the kind of rating system for games that's already in place, though some parents, such as the president, don't heed it. "I look at some of the things he's watching," Trump said last week about his 11 year-old son's media (presumably games). "And I say, how is that possible?" The new report notes additional attendees and sets an agenda for the meeting, saying it will be the first of several. There's more on this in The Washington Post where they also have an unconfirmed list of attendees, including those who will be across the table in an anti-gaming camp:

We all know that the news industry is highly affected by technology – starting with the rise of bloggers as a news source, through the usage of UGC in mainstream news reporting, the reduction of cost of live broadcasting, the introduction of video to newspapers websites, collaborative news gathering, and the usage of social media tools to notify readers and create discussions around news items.
However, how can one evaluate the level of innovation of a news organization? Here are some of our thoughts:
1. Release of hot off the press news through the day, without limiting hot items to a specific news hour or edition – TV news organizations expanding to the internet face a challenge – should they compromise the rating of their main edition by releasing hot items on the internet first? The same goes for newspapers and radio. This is a case of innovation – the internet strong point is the fact that news can be dispatched instantaneously 24×7, while traditional media is all about creating and maintaining viewership and readership peaks.
2. Creation of direct to web video news clips – today the cost of a video journalist is much lower than in the past. Newspaper websites already have in some areas video journalists – a role traditionally exisitng in the TV business only. Online news consumers do not divide media based on it sources (such as TV, papers and radio), but based on the information itself.
3. One news desk, many platforms – while in traditional media, a newspaper has its own platform and news desk, one will think that news innovation should integrate all the platforms and create a unified desk per topic. So, for example, a desk covering the Pallin affair would be a stand alone operation in a newspaper, while others will focus on getting the best information, and "repurpose" it to the relevant platform.
4. Social media as a part of a news gathering game – does a news outlet use social networks and blogs as source of information?
5. Social media as a part of a distribution strategy – does a news outlet use social networks (such as Facebook and Twitter) and blogs as a distribution platform?
6. Audience interaction – does a news outlet interact with viewers, through its own site, as well as social networks?
7. Distributed approach – does a news outlet allow others to embed its content in their sites, social networks profiles and so on?
How does your news room operate? What are the challenges you are facing? what is the role of innovation in the success of news organizations, and how do they evaluate it?
(written in collaboration with Lara Greenberg, former South African journalist and current student of the School of Communications at IDC Herzliya).

So I watched the Guy Ritchie adaptation of Sherlock Holmes, now this character has been done several times and I will be honest and say that I have not actually seen any of them and have very little knowledge of the characters other than the generic rules that everyone know as they are in pop culture. Such as Elementary my Dear Watson, magnifying glass and the pipe and the relationship between Holmes and Watson.
Now Rogbert Downey Jnr has had a resurgenice between this, Iron man and Due Date and he is really performing well. I have to say that I liked his portrayal of the character it showed his brilliance and the leaps of logic that Holmes is famous for. Jude Law was interesting as his partner with a sense of resignation that he would be tied to Holmes forever in some way and also the regret that he wanted his life to move forward. The story of teh film itself is interesting, there was a little bit of well there is the sequel getting set up and I have to say on review this is an origin film. You have the characters setting up, even though they are well established in most peoples mind this is them getting set up.
I enjoyed this film a whole lot, it will not be for everyone and I have to say that while I will go and see the sequel i am not in that much of a hurry to see it. A solid 3 stars for me.
