Have you ever made a classic campfire s'more with a Reesee's Peanut Butter Cup instead of Hershey's Milk Chocolate? If not, you should give it a try before summer so shortly comes to an end, or you can try out my Peanut Butter Cup S'more Brownies! I must say....Delicious!
I had leftover marshmallows, ghram crackers and peanut butter cups from our vacation a couple weeks ago that I wanted to use up and I thought that brownies would be a great base to throw all of those leftover goodies into.
And I was right! The brownie itself was very fudgey, rich and chocolately, just the way I like them, which paired perfectly with one of summer's classic favorite treats, s'mores; chopped ghram crackers and peanut butter cups get mixed into the brownie batter and then it gets topped with large marshmallow halves that get that great toasty flavor and golden brown color; just as if you were roasting it over a campfire. If you serve them warm, the marshmallow gets nice and gooey and the peanut butter cups melt and it is just like eating a s'more but in a brownie! Give these a try, they are super yummy!
S'more Peanut Butter Cup Brownies:
-5 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 5 pieces
-6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
-2/3 cup granulated sugar
-2 large eggs
-1 teaspoon vanilla
-pinch of salt
-1/3 cup all-purpose flour
-6 regular size Reesee's Peanut Buttr Cups
-3/4 cup chopped ghram crackers
-8 large marshmallows, cut in half
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line a 8x8-inch pan with foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
2. Set a heat-proof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Put butter in bowl, top with chopped chocolate and stir occasionally until just melted. Remove bowl from the pan of water.
3. With a whisk, stir in sugar. Whisk in eggs one at a time. Add vanilla and whisk vigorously to bring butter together. Gently stir in the flour and salt; just until incorporated. Fold in the chopped ghram crackers and peanut butter cups.
4. Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan and then layer the marshmallow halves evenly on top, leaving a little bit of space in between each one. Pour the rest of the batter on top of the marshmallows and spread evenly.
5. Bake for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out almost clean. Transfer pan to a wire rack and cool completely. Cut into squares and serve warm (nooked in the microwave) or at room temperature, (I liked them best nooked in the microwave for about 10-12 seconds, it gives you the ultimate warm and toasty s'more campfire feeling)!

Living with a mental illness can be overwhelming, but we believe in balancing our lives to help overcome the obstacles of our mental illnesses. A great way to do this is to focus on our physical health. Doing so will not only help our bodies to become healthier, but it will also help improve our mental health. Research has shown that physically active people have higher positive self-concept, more self-esteem and more positive "moods" and "affects." More-active people also seem to have a higher perceived ability to perform activities of daily living, physical well-being and other measures related to quality of life.
The H.E.A.L. Project
"Committed to helping people live longer, healthier lives."
To help with our health and wellness efforts, we received a matching grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF), the nation's largest philanthropy devoted to health and health care. The grant is used for our Health Education and Leadership (H.E.A.L.) project, which was created with the goal of empowering individuals who have a serious mental illness to take charge of their wellbeing through physical activity and healthy nutrition skills.
H.E.A.L. Project includes:
-continuous program, on Monday and Thursday
-personal fitness plan designed with a H.E.A.L. specialist
-opportunities to participate in an array of physical activities
-hands-on cooking classes with healthy, affordable food options
-access to Genesis Health Club personal trainers
-leadership opportunities
-peer support groups
All services are FREE to Breakthrough and MHA members!!!

|Hannah Jacobs (left) and Jessy Schulte (center) listen to Lorrie Lewandowski speak about the 2010 ADAMHS Youth Survey. Three of the New Cool campaign posters can be seen hanging on the wall.
The Communities Mobilizing for Change on Alcohol Task Force, part of the Wood County Educational Service Center's Alcohol Tobacco and Other Drug (ATOD) program, heard good news about the fight against underage drinking in Wood County when they met Monday evening.
Lorrie Lewandowski, director of the Reducing Alcohol Abuse in Secondary Schools (RAASS) Grant, noted that according to the 2010 Wood County youth survey, not only has alcohol use declined, but it was the fastest rate decline between any two years since the survey began in 2004.
On Monday, task force members learned that during an Alternative Activities Subcommittee meeting, members discussed the idea that maybe one of the reasons youth resort to alcohol use is due to boredom. They also discussed the possibility that it may not by an issue of lack of alternative activities, but instead that teens don't know what is available to them.
To address that, the committee invited Shelen Stevens, director of the Weston and Grand Rapids public libraries and the survivor of an automobile accident caused by a drunk driver that killed both of her parents, to discuss library calendars.
"Each one of our libraries have Web sites and newsletters," she said. Each includes a calendar of events for community members of all ages. "I'm in the Otsego school district, so all of my events are forwarded to teachers."
The library, she said, has proven to be a popular hangout for youth. The Weston library had 289 teens participate in the summer reading program. On a typical summer day this year, there were 48 students in the library.
"A lot of it is word of mouth," she said. "And I fed them. I let them help out and help the little kids"
The task force will be working on ways to use the library to find alternative activities for students.
Task force members also learned that The New Cool media campaign it helped to create is now up and running in Wood County schools. "The new cool is changing the perception of what is cool in a youth's life," said RAASS grant community organizer Debbie Marinik. "It's a very positive approach to alternative activities for youth."
As part of that positive approach, inspirational posters are hanging in schools and are making their way into Wood County communities with the help of the task force members.
"The more we can get these posters in the communities, the more this will become a recognized message."
Task force members also learned that the CMCA Street Team was active at area fairs and festivals during the summer months. Street team members include current and former high school students who talked with community members about their attitudes regarding underage drinking. To gather this information, Street Team members encouraged residents to gather surveys.
Street Team member Jessy Schulte said that a lot of people who filled out the survey talked openly about their answers. At the Wood County Fair, 91 percent of those who filled out the survey viewed underage drinking as a problem.
"We'd get a range from 'it's fine in our house' and 'if you can be in the military, you can drink,' to 'if you're not 21, you aren't allowed to drink,'" said Schulte.
'There were a lot of people who said they allowed their kids to drink but only at their own house," added Street Team member Hannah Jacobs.
The next task force meeting will be held Nov. 15, from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Wood County Educational Service Center.

Since we first drove the Camry-derived RX300 in 1998, we've fallen in love with the car. Er, SUV. Er, tall wagon. It has changed little since then, although the 2001 model now includes standard electronic skid control and brake assist.
That this vehicle feels so carlike should puzzle no one. In this group, the RX300 is the shortest, narrowest, lowest, and lightest entry. If most of your driving is conducted in heavy traffic, this is the SUV to buy. It is agile, quick to duck into small places, easy to back up, and surpassed in braking competence by the BMW only. Heck, it even delivers the best fuel economy.
Although its shrink-wrapped exterior constricts its cargo capacity, the Lexus repays its owner with ergonomically stellar biscuit-colored seats that we judged the best in SUV-dom. Not only was the RX300 a winner in our driver-comfort category, but it nabbed a trophy for two-person rear-seat comfort, too.
In Ohio, the RX300's logbook began to percolate with accolades: "rock-solid platform," "stable," "super-low wind and tire noise," "silky V-6," "steering that is linear," "a ride so good you'll swear you're in a car."
There remain, however, a few un-Toyota-like details: a parking brake that intrudes on the dead pedal, an overdrive switch clinging like an afterthought to the side of the shift lever, and four identically sized climate-control and radio knobs.
Not surprisingly, the Lexus also lost points as it whimpered along our off-road trail: no dedicated low range, no usable engine compression for braking, and girly passenger-car tires. With the least ground clearance of this bunch, the RX300 had difficulty stepping over a felled tree the others climbed easily. Still, it completed the route, although throughout it resembled a poodle in the midst of a coon-hound trial.
This is a quiet, ingratiating vehicle whose on-road poise and wholesale absence of truckishness do much to overcome its paucity of off-road skills. And if your daily agenda includes no rock hopping, opt for the $34,440 front-drive RX300. Talk about great value.

The State Senate approved SB 1172 on a party-line vote of 22-12, with Democrats casting all the yes votes and Republicans all voting no. The vote yesterday followed a similar result in the Assembly. It is not clear whether Gov. Brown will sign or veto the bill, though he typically agrees with homosexual advocacy groups like Equality California that have been pushing SB 1172.
PJI Staff Attorney Matthew McReynolds, who has been coordinating PJI's legislative opposition and spoke against the measure at all three policy committee hearings, commented, "SB 1172 makes it crystal clear that the new focus of LGBT advocacy groups is not equality or civil rights, but shutting down and silencing their opponents. Californians are among the most tolerant people in the world, and they do not support this approach of outlawing speech just because LGBT groups disagree with it."
PJI is urging Californians to call Gov. Brown's office toll-free at 1-855-468-2796 to voice their concerns about SB 1172.

The Pennsylvania Game Commission released Wednesday that the first two days of the state-wide bear season continues to produce low numbers.
The Pennsylvania Game Commission released Wednesday that the first two days of the state-wide bear season continues to produce low numbers.
Just 1,638 bears have been harvested in Pennsylvania during the first two days of the season — Monday and Tuesday — noticeably less than the 2,185 bears shot in 2006. The record bear kill for the first two days was set in 2005 when hunters took 2,875 bears in the first two days and 4,123 overall.
PGC press secretary Jerry Feaser said the snowstorm that hit Pennsylvania Sunday night into Monday and a hit-and-miss acorn crop have affected the numbers.
"The warm weather we had (Wednesday) was somewhat challenging," Feaser said as Wednesday's high temperatures ranged into the mid-50s. "Hunters prefer to hunt in cold weather."
Parts of Pennsylvania also endured a wrath of gypsy moths this spring and summer, which affected the acorn crop. The moths attacked oak trees, negatively affecting the acorn production, severely in some areas.
"That created some spotty conditions," Feaser said of the acorns, a nut bears love to feed on. "Hunters had to put in time scouting."
There have been some typically large bears shot this year, though. The PGC has reported that after two days, 10 bears have been checked with estimated live weights over 500 pounds.
The largest bear was harvested by Rodney Howard of Port Allegany. The bruin had an estimated live weight of 712 pounds and was taken in Roulette Township, Potter County, on Monday.
Clinton County leads the state with 142 bears checked after two days, followed by Tioga (102), Cameron (98), Lycoming (97) and Potter (87).
In the Northeast, Pike checked 42 bears, while Monroe checked just 11 bears. Last year after two days, Monroe had processed 28 bears.
The bear season continues in Wildlife Management Unit 3D on Nov. 28 and continues through Dec. 1.

MILLTOWN, NJ - Milltown adds another place for quality Italian food and pizza, as Francesco's recently celebrated its grand opening with a ribbon cutting ceremony attended by family members, officials from the town's government, religious figures from the town, and many local friends.
Owners Vito and Margherita Rappa purchased the restautrant formerly known as Bella Villa, completely tore down the inside and remodeled it, bringing in new ovens, kitchen items, new countertops, and new tables and chairs. It gave the restaurant a completely new feel, and along with it came a new staff, and the quality menu that the Rappas already have in their restaurants in Burlington, NJ as well as their flagship restaurant in Manhattan.
From the day the Rappa's opened the first Francesco's they have taken great pride in their food. They came from four generations of Italian chefs who were passionate about their cooking. They have tried to capture their passion and authenticity in the food they serve at the new restaurant. Many of the items you will see on their menu are prepared from recipes that have been handed down by their fathers and their grandfathers. As for the ingredients, everything is fresh, nothing is frozen. Because tomatoes, olive oil and flour are the heart and soul of Italian cuisine, the Rappas import everything from Italy. Even their pizza crust is made with Italian virgin olive oil.
Come enjoy lunch or dinner at Francesco's, located at 23 North Main Street, phone number 732-214-9222.

Ah-Ha MomentsAuthor: randomandodd
Life is full of those moments when things in your life just click and begin to make sense. For me, Ah-Ha moments are what keep me going and even as soon as I realize I am having one, I forget as quickly.
For now, I am going to write down the ones I have had recently and try to remember to write down the moments as I go along.
* Watching Ali Macgraw on TV and was asked how old she was. I was floored when she said 71. She talked about true and living an authentic life and putting out there what you want back. She said, "It takes courage to be with someone and find out that your needs don't match up…it's better to find out then and not 15 years later." True words.
*Waking up one morning and realizing how pathetic it feels to be waiting on someone to decide if they want to hang out with you, want to be your friend, want to love you like you have loved them for a year. As bad as it hurts, it's better to not be in a waiting room…ever.
*Sitting in the car and hearing, "Can't touch this" and remembering the time you laughed so hard with your sister that you almost got kicked out of a restaurant. It's those moments in life that REALLY matter…not the sad one right before it when listening to a Journey song wishing you could go back in time and try to make something so very right…right again.
*"I just did that…and no one can take that away from me." –have more of those moments. Don't let this life slow you down.

Last I wrote we were taking off to Alabama. We made that "little" side trip to see one of our nieces graduate from high school. I am so glad that we made it! It was great for Ben and Kiera to see family that they don't get to see to often. We saw "Alabama big cousins" as Ben has labeled my sister-in-laws girls, Auntie Kim and Grandma and Grandpa! It is a wonderful thing to have great in-laws.
The graduation itself was tough for Ben who doesn't like the clapping and cheering and tough for Kiera who can't sit in a chair for 15 minutes let alone a couple of hours, but totally worth it. We were able to let the kids run around in an outer area and then come back in for the actual walk. Ben was so excited that it was his cousin that he was watching that he gave up being mad about the air horns.
A funny thing happened to me while we were there though. I felt really old. I joke about it now and then but this really drove it home. It is not just that time has passed. It was watching all of the kids with there bright faces, excited about jumping into the next stage of there lives. Can you imagine? To have that feeling again. The feeling that your whole life is before you. That your choices will determining your path. That your future is bright with shining adventures yet unknown. It made me feel old, and a bit sad that those feelings have changed for me. I am no longer lulled by the phrase "everything will be fine". I am at a place in my life that that is OK though. Fine means something different for me now. Maybe that is what I long for. An innocence to loss and pain.
It was easy for me to put the thoughts aside and catch some of the contagious excitement. That and a visit to a Chocolate Bar and all was well for me : ) I guess that is something else gained with age, quick recovery.
Love to you Alabama girls!

Samsung today said it has added its 3D VNAND technology to its lowest-cost consumer SSD, an advancement that raises the drive to a level that should attract gamers and power users.
The new 850 EVO SSD is a follow-on to the 840 EVO released last year. The predecessor used 2D planar NAND, but the new 850 version uses NAND stacked 32 layers high in a 7mm height form factor drive.
VNAND technology is expected to reach 100 levels of stacked NAND cells by 2017. That will offer a 1Tbit per chip density, compared to today's 2D planar density of 250Gbits per chip.
The drive still stores three bits of data per transistor, as did its predecessor.
"We initially were targeting the drive at the consumer desktop or as a notebook upgrade drive, but now with the performance and reliability, we're also able to target the gamer and heavier write user," said Richard Narz, a Samsung senior marketing manager.
Samsung has also incorporated its "TurboWrite technology" in the 850 EVO, which it said boosts performance random writes over its predecessor by 1.9 times.
The 850 EVO can reach random read speeds of more than 98,000 I/Os per second and 90,000 random write IOPS, Samsung stated on a spec sheet. The SSD's top sequential read speed is 540 MBps and its top write speed is 520 MBps on all capacities of the drive.
Because the NAND is stacked vertically, the transistors or NAND cells (where bits are stored) are less closely packed together, an architecture that increases drive reliability.
Narz said endurance in the 850 EVO is twice that of the previous 840 drive. The new SSD also cuts energy consumption by 30%. During an average data read, the drive uses a maximum of 3.7 watts and 4.4 watts during writes. While idle, the SSD uses 2 milliwatts of power.
Because of the greater endurance, the warranty on the 850 EVO is five years, compared with Samsung's former three-year guarantee. The 850 EVO comes in 120GB, 250GB, 500GB and 1TB models. The 250GB model can sustain 40GB worth of writes per day and up to 75TB over a five-year lifetime, Narz said. The 1TB model can sustain 80GB of writes per day and up to 150TB of writes over its lifetime, he said.
The predecessor to the new 850 EVO SSD - the 840 EVO - experienced performance problems soon after its release last year. Samsung issued a firmware fix for the drive.
The 840 EVO hit the market with a sub-$1 per gigabyte price tag. For example, a 1TB version retailed for $599. The new 850 EVO takes that price down by $100.
The 120GB retails for $99.99, the 250GB for $149.99, the 500GB for $269.99, and the 1TB model for $499.99.

Enantiomeric excess of a mixture is the absolute difference between the percent composition of the major enantiomer and that of the minor enantiomer. The resulting value is numerically equivalent to the mixture's optical purity.
A hypothetical example is in a mixture with one substance of 75 percent, and the other substance is 25 percent. The difference, or enantiomeric excess, is 50 percent. Enantiomeric excess, abbreviated "ee" in formulas, is also calculated by dividing the observed optical rotation of a substance by the optical rotation of the pure enantiomer, then multiplying by 100 to obtain a percentage. Enantiomers are a type of stereoisomers, compounds with the same molecular formula and same structure, that are mirror images of each other. Optical purity is a concept of organic chemistry that measures a substance's optical activity, which is a solution's ability to rotate plane-polarized light.

Betsy asked on Oct 03, 2018
Hi Betsy, I had EXACTLY the same issue. It is absolutely ridiculous. The display is extremely hard to read. Ours is above the F&P oven which has a perfectly normal brightly lit display and then the microwave is so dim that often, especially looking up at it from an angle, I find it extremely hard to read. I had a technician come out to look at it and they said it was "normal". Other than fixing the contrast there is nothing you can do. This is another reason why I wrote such a scathing review (which I've never done for any product previously!). At least I'm not alone in finding this ridiculous ! I can't believe they haven't had more bad feedback. Unfortunately it's something you'll just have to put up with :-(

Leanne simmons asked on Aug 11, 2017
Leanne, We have had ours for around three years now and it works faultlessly (as a Microwave). However, I will be honest here and state that we have never used it as a Convection Oven, only because we have two others and haven't found the need. I will still say, "It is not very user friendly". It does require five steps just to microwave an item. Then it has several programs for 'defrosting' etc. I can never remember what the codes e.g.. P1, P2, P3 etc mean, but I just keep pushing enter buttons until the weight of the defrosted item is required and then go for it and it does the job. I guess if you used these functions regularly you would remember? If the power goes off same thing resetting requires grabbing the Instruction Book and following instructions, they are not hard as much as they involve too many steps. Regarding another reviewer here I agree with the timer setting you can set for 30 secs or so easily then the timer goes into 'warp' speed and next thing you have 6 - 7 mins. displayed and then you go back down and similar. The fact that the fan continues after use is to clear the internal unit of moisture etc. so as the sensors will function correctly for the next use, the fan will sometimes run for a good 5 or so mins. following cooking, I don't see this as a problem. Just close the door it's quieter. Similarly when the cooking cycle finishes it 'Beeps' and 'Beeps' and 'Beeps' for bloody ever, so if your busy with something else you have the oven continuously beeping, ... Grrrr. Overall it looks sleek and modern, it is not a noisy oven and works well as a Microwave. It just could be a lot more user friendly. Hope this helps.
TC55 replied on Aug 16, 2017
Hi Leanne, I'm the original poster of this review and I still believe, after 2-3 yrs ownership and use, that this is not a product up to the usual F&P standard. I agree totally with everything said by TC55 above. It works fine ... definitely not a problem ... and looks good. But it is a non-intuitive process to do anything. We all know how to use it now so do it without thinking but there is no way a visitor would ever be able to figure it out ! My fan was/is an issue not because of the obvious functionality of cooling down after use but because ...sometimes ... it just decided to go on forever until I open the door, turn it on and off again, etc. This may just be mine. I stated that it was the worst product I'd ever bought because it is such a convoluted process to use basic functions .. and it's a microwave for goodness sake ;-) I am highly technically competent so this is just a poorly designed user interface. If you are after a certain look in your kitchen (like I was) definitely go ahead and purchase but just be aware that it will be annoying until you get used to it! Hope that helps. :-) PS. On the other hand, the matching oven is beautiful and simple to use !

Hi Robert, I am pretty sure my electrician hard wired it. Was done during a kitchen renovation, but it is completely fitted in so you can not pull out to unplug. Hope that helps.

No mate, just normal 10amp plug. And by undoing a screw on each side it comes out. Takes about 30 seconds.

A lack of volunteers has forced Zig Zag Community Arts (ZZCA) organisers to cancel its popular annual festival in October, which has been a hit with residents for more than three decades.
The not-for-profit community group, that puts on the festival, has only cancelled three times over the past 32 years.
ZZCA chairperson Albert Hazebroek said the number of volunteers had fallen too low this year to mount the festival.
"But we are working on gathering more members so that we can come back stronger in 2018".
He said the group continues to be active and committed to developing community arts in the Shire of Kalamunda.
"The arts are an essential public good that creates a ripple effect of benefits felt throughout our community," he said.
"Art provides the unique expression of what it means to be human, and that is fundamental to our nature, and it affects us all.
"ZZCA expresses this through all the possibilities of participation in roles as artists, arts workers, practitioners, teachers, students, critics, supporters, and consumers.
The group is now seeking new committee members and volunteers to help plan and organise future arts events for the benefit of the Kalamunda community.
There will be a number of events, workshops, and a series of community consultations held this year by ZZCA.
These activities will all contribute to the mounting of a larger and more ambitious Zig Zag Festival in 2018.
The first major event that will be held this year will be the Christmas in July Bush Dance on July 15 at the Kalamunda Agricultural Hall.
Tickets will be on sale at Haynes St. Newsagency and at the door.
For more information about the festival go to www.zigzagfestival.org or check out the Zig Zag Community Arts on Facebook.

Hello, I take seroquel..it is not addictive at all.
Seroquel (quetiapine fumarate) is a prescription medication that is used to treat schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.
The drug is manufactured by AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals.
Seroquel belongs to a group of medications called atypical (or second-generation) antipsychotic medications. It is not entirely known how Seroquel works in the treatment of schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. However, it is known that the medication blocks or lessens the effects of several chemicals in the brain. These chemicals (such as dopamine and serotonin) may be elevated in people with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder (also known as manic depression).
This medication is not a cure for bipolar disorder or schizophrenia. It only helps to control symptoms.
In previous clinical studies of Seroquel for the treatment of schizophrenia, people taking the drug experienced improvement in their schizophrenia symptoms (including hallucinations and suspiciousness) when compared to those not taking the drug.
Previous clinical studies have also shown it to be effective in the treatment of bipolar disorder. In these studies, the drug was effective for treating episodes of mania or depression and also helped prevent symptoms of bipolar disorder from returning. For bipolar depression episodes, Seroquel reduced suicidal thinking and improved the overall quality of life. For bipolar mania episodes, it helped to decrease the manic symptoms.
General considerations for when and how to take the medication include the following:
Seroquel comes in tablet form. It is usually taken by mouth one to three times a day. If you are taking the medication once a day, it is usually best to take it at bedtime.
You can take the medication with or without food. If it bothers your stomach, try taking it with food.
It should be taken at the same time(s) each day to maintain even levels in your blood.
For the drug to work properly, it must be taken as prescribed. The medication will not work if you stop taking it.
The dosage that your Doctor recommends will vary, depending on a number of factors, including:
The medical condition being treated
The severity of your condition
Other medical conditions you may have
Other medications you may be currently taking.
Common side effects include
Dry mouth
High triglycerides
Weight gain
High cholesterol
Some other common side effects
Indigestion or heartburn
Increased appetite
Nasal congestion
Abdominal pain (stomach pain)
Back pain
Shakiness (tremor)
Joint pain
Sore throat
Rapid heart rate (tachycardia)
Irritated or runny nose
Vision problems.
Serious Seroquel Side Effects which must be reported asap.
Signs of diabetes, such as high blood sugar, increased thirst, frequent urination, or extreme hunger
Large or rapid weight gain
Suicidal thoughts
Dizziness or fainting when going from a sitting or lying-down position to standing
Feelings of internal restless or jitteriness
Any abnormal muscle movements (these abnormal movements can become permanent if Seroquel is not stopped quickly)
Signs or symptoms of neuroleptic malignant syndrome, which can include:
A high fever
Stiff muscles
Irregular pulse or blood pressure
An increased heart rate (tachycardia)
Irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias)
Signs of an allergic reaction, including:
Unexplained rash
Unexplained swelling
Difficulty breathing or swallowing.
Rare Seroquel Side Effects
Vertigo (a spinning sensation)
Increased or decreased sex drive
Teeth grinding
Neck pain
Yeast infection
Increased salivation
Canker sores
Migraine headaches
Impotence, also known as erectile dysfunction or ED
Dry eyes
Tinnitus (ringing in the ears)
Low thyroid (hypothyroidism) or overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism).
Seroquel tablets are available in the following strengths:
Seroquel 25 mg
50 mg
100 mg
200 mg
300 mg
400 mg.
I hope the information listed above helps you.
Sorry almost forgot:
Seroquel drug interactions include:
Certain antibiotics or antifungals, including:
Clarithromycin (Biaxin)
Erythromycin (Ery-Tab)
Isoniazid (Nydrazid)
Itraconazole (Sporanox)
Ketoconazole (Nizoral)
Telithromycin (Ketek)
Cimetidine (Tagamet)
Divalproex (Depakote, Depakote ER)
Lorazepam (Ativan)
Phenytoin (Dilantin, Phenytek)
Thioridazine (Mellaril).
Hope this also helps.
talk about throwing the book at him! lol
SEREQUEL can be used as a mood stableizer also for sleep. It did not work for me I was neauseaus and had diaharria it also is know for gaining weight. It is different for everyone Personally it was not for me. Star reading persoonal experiences on line and you will learn alot about other peoples experiences. But it has several uses it is not only used for bi-polar or schizophrania. You can find alot of help on line. It is worth taking the time . Alot of other peoples experiences over years of experience really helps. Good luck and God Bless
Ok is it you who will be taking it or a woman, or are you a woman john lol. The first time I was on the drug I stopped getting my periods. It did something to my hormones. Then the old fu... g doctor put me on it again during my pregnancy. I had a major allergic reaction to that drug, I was distonic, catatonic not to scare you. But people have different effects to all drugs. He wanted me to sleep. Its is used for bipolar, schitzerfrenia and sleep. This drug is not addictive. So the side effects that I had were abnormal. Please don't get on a high dosage of that stuff, doctors like to experiment with that drug. More than 300-400mg I'd say is too high of a dose.
I just read where someone said that 300/400 was too high a dose. That might be for some people but I have to take 800mg so for some of us we need the higher dosage. I would talk to your doctor and see what he/she recommends for you. And my primary reason for having it so high is to help with me sleeping. I have to take it at 5p.m. to be able to get to sleep by 10p.m. and that gives me 10 hours of sleep. I do not wake up groggy but I am not naturally a morning person so it has always taken me a while to get going.
yah that was me some people take up to 1200mg. yes I was saying that cause it makes you so sleepy. I understand you need it. Thats why I was saying I had an abnormal reaction to that drug. He was putting me on it to calm me down. And upped the dosage too much too fast. I dont want to talk about it anymore. My face swelled up, and I got hives and the other thing. Its bringing me to a bad place. I should of never answered the question, Im sorry
for me, I think it is a joke. I was put on it one time when a detox center wanted to take me off of xanax. Seroquil did nothing to decrease my anxiety as I could not sit still and had to keep walking the hallways of my condo building and not being able to go outside because without xanax, I have agoraphobia. Four hours after I had taken the seroquil, the anxiety got worse which sent me into the ER seven times, where they just kept upping the dose. I think its hilarious. Seroquil put me in the ER more times than Xanax has but they never increased my Xanax dose where instead they took it away from me .
Seroquel as already said is a 2nd generation anti psychotic. It is prescribed for symptoms related to schizophrenia, bipolar, and an off label use is sleep aide. The also use it as an aide to major depressive disorder. The biggest side effect that I found out personally is the weight gain. I could never be full. I actually gained 60 pounds on it. They didnt take me off it cause at the time i was very symptomatic and the seroquel was helping. It works in the brain on dopamine and serotonin which are neurotransmitters. Some one already has meantioned the interactions but if you ever have a question about that the pharmacist is a good person to go to.
I took it as it really helped with sleep. Cymbalta I took in the morning, and Seroquel at night. I felt really slow and groggy for a few weeks and watched my eating patterns cos I had read about the weight gain. I exercised and when on a healthy eating plan and that helped with weight gain cos it does give you a huge appetite! But for insomnia it was a blessing. All the best.
Seroquel is to treat the symptoms of schizophrenia (a mental illness that causes disturbed or unusual thinking, loss of interest in life, and strong or inappropriate emotions). Quetiapine tablets and extended-release tablets are also used alone or with other medications to treat or prevent episodes of mania (frenzied, abnormally excited or irritated mood) or depression in patients with bipolar disorder (manic depressive disorder; a disease that causes episodes of depression, episodes of mania, and other abnormal moods). Quetiapine extended-release tablets are also used along with other medications to treat depression. Quetiapine tablets may be used as part of a treatment program to treat bipolar disorder and schizophrenia in children. Quetiapine is in a class of medications called atypical antipsychotics. It works by changing the activity of certain natural substances in the brain.
Take quetiapine at around the same time(s) every day. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take quetiapine exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor.
Your doctor will probably start you on a low dose of quetiapine and gradually increase your dose during the first week of your treatment
It may take several weeks or longer for you to feel the full benefit of quetiapine. Continue to take quetiapine even if you feel well. Do not stop taking quetiapine without talking to your doctor. If you suddenly stop taking quetiapine, you may experience withdrawal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep. Your doctor will probably want to decrease your dose gradually.
This medication may be prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
You should know that quetiapine may make you drowsy. Do not drive a car or operate machinery and take precautions to avoid falls until you know how this medication affects you.
You should know that alcohol can add to the drowsiness caused by this medication. Do not drink alcohol while taking quetiapine.
Tell your doctor immediately if you have any of the following symptoms while you are taking quetiapine: extreme thirst, frequent urination, extreme hunger, blurred vision, or weakness. It is very important to call your doctor as soon as you have any of these symptoms, because high blood sugar can cause a serious condition called ketoacidosis. Ketoacidosis may become life-threatening if it is not treated at an early stage. Symptoms of ketoacidosis include: dry mouth, nausea and vomiting, shortness of breath, breath that smells fruity, and decreased consciousness.
You should know that quetiapine may make it harder for your body to cool down when it gets very hot. While you are taking quetiapine, you should avoid excessive exercise, stay inside as much as possible and dress lightly in hot weather, stay out of the sun, and drink plenty of fluids.
You should know that quetiapine may cause dizziness, lightheadedness, and fainting when you get up too quickly from a lying position. This is more common when you first start taking quetiapine and when your dose is increased. To avoid this problem, get out of bed slowly, resting your feet on the floor for a few minutes before standing up.
Be sure to drink plenty of water every day while you are taking this medication.
Tell your doctor if any of these symptoms are severe or do not go away:
pain in the joints, back, neck, or ears
dry mouth
stomach pain or swelling
increased appetite
excessive weight gain
stuffy nose
difficulty thinking or concentrating
difficulty speaking or using language
loss of coordination
unusual dreams
numbness, burning, or tingling in the arms or legs
missed menstrual periods
breast enlargement in males
discharge from the breasts
decreased sexual desire or ability
Some side effects can be serious. If you experience any of the following symptoms or those listed in the IMPORTANT WARNING or SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS section, call your doctor immediately:
changes in vision
uncontrollable movements of your arms, legs, tongue, face, or lips
painful erection of the penis that lasts for hours
muscle stiffness, pain, or weakness
excess sweating
fast or irregular heartbeat
unusual bleeding or bruising
sore throat, fever, chills, difficult or painful urination and other signs of infection
tightening of the neck muscles or the throat
tongue sticking out
difficulty breathing or swallowing
Quetiapine may cause other side effects. Call your doctor if you have any unusual problems while taking this medication.
You will need to have eye exams to check for cataracts at the beginning of your treatment and every six months during your treatment.
Keep this medication in the container it came in, tightly closed, and out of reach of children. Store it at room temperature and away from excess heat and moisture (not in the bathroom).
Symptoms of overdose may include:
fast heartbeat
Thank you for asking this question, johnsont! I learned a lot about this med. I took it years ago and the only side affect I had was weight gain. Otherwise, it was a wonder med.
I pray you find the answers to your questions. The people on this site are very informative and we will help you in any way we can.
Take care, johnsont!

Hi johnsont,
As you can see it helps a lot of people but when I was given Seroquel for major depression I had a psychoatic episode and was hospitalized for 6 months until they found a med that I could take that worked for me. Just be aware and write down how it is affecting you, good and bad side effects etc...
Good luck!
not addictive and side effects ware off.

text: ocnblu 1,669 6 Vehicles Posted November 7, 2009 Yesterday was the end of the line for my local Saturn dealer, they closed, according to a local television news report. They opened, I believe, in early '92. Parent company already closed their York, PA store, I know for sure, and I believe they have, or had, at least 2 other Saturn outlets (among other brands, including Chevrolet out of the local area). Very sad for the good employees who've gone through so many machinations through the years to represent GM's failed experiment, but probably smart for the parent company to stop now, rather than wait until the cold, lonely bitter end. At lunch yesterday I heard that my former employer, Chevy/BMW dealer, has bought the building for their BMW store, which is in a too-small, out-of-sight location. In turn, they have a For Sale sign in front of a piece of land they bought to build a new facility. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

E always says i'm the easiest person to please as I get contented with things easily. For example today when I told her that all i wanted to eat for lunch was from canteen 11 mixed rice and I did tapau it to her hall to eat. As I was gobbling my lunch down, I keep telling her how amazing the food is. I even said if i had all the money in the world, I would hire the two uncles to cook for me everyday.
Of course that made her laugh and said that i'm so easy to be pleased.
What she said didn't really strike me until i read this article here. All I wanted for my lunch was just a meal full of greens and non-obsessively oily food.
Friends ask me what I learnt when I was in Finland, I said , "I learnt to exist there :) "

There are a range of approaches that are in use to accomplish hair elimination from various parts of the body like the face, underarms, pubic area, legs, hands, etc. Some approaches of hair removal are short-lived while some are irreversible.
The short-lived techniques of hair elimination consist of:
This is the most typical means of eliminating unwanted hair, requiring minimum equipment. Though not a long-lasting service, it is merely popular since it is so hassle-free. All that a person needs to shave is a razor. This devices can be utilized on any part of the body for reliable outcomes; but is the most temporary of services
Shaving is an easy and economical approach of hair elimination. It is also the only method that is totally devoid of side effects. The most significant downside of shaving is that it is not a permanent approach of hair removal. It has been proven through research study that shaving does not result in the hair ending up being thicker, as is typically considered.
This approach is mostly used in beauty centers, although it can be used in the house. It is primarily used for facial hair removal. Threading involves rolling twisted cotton threads over messy hairlines and plucking out the unwanted hair. A short-term hair elimination method, it is both healthy for the skin and does not result in ingrown hair either.
Check out here for depilacion laser alejandrita online.
Tweezing and Waxing
Epilatories, such as tweezers and waxes, pluck hairs from below the surface area of the skin. Waxing and tweezing may be often prove more unpleasant although the outcomes will last longer. Due to the fact that the hair is plucked at the root, new growth is not visible for a number of weeks after treatment.
Tweezing is impractical for large areas. Waxing, on the other hand can easily get rid of hair from bigger areas, like the hands, legs and swimsuit line in females. Men will commonly seek treatment for their chest or back. Epilatory waxes are likewise readily available for home usage. There are 'hot' and 'cold' waxes.
Chemical depilatories
A chemical depilatory is a solution of calcium thioglycolate or barium sulfide that makes sure painless hair elimination. These creams are commonly utilized for hair elimination in locations like the underarms, pubic area, legs and hands. It works by reacting with the protein structure of the hair, causing it to dissolve. The location is then washed and the development scraped away. The result of a depilatory can last for approximately two weeks.
The significant benefit with depilatories is that they can work on hair of any length, can be used on large parts of the body and the hair takes far longer to grow back.
The drawback of depilatories is that dark-skinned users can be entrusted to a visible "shadow" under the skin, it can cause allergic reactions or skin irritation, and they are smelly and leave a mess. Hair removal creams need to never be used on the face unless the label says so.
Usage of abrasives
Abrasives are products that are utilized to smooth or roughen surfaces through rubbing. They have a rough texture and are ideal for getting rid of dead skin from the feet.
The most significant advantage of utilizing abrasives is that it is long lasting. Abrasives are likewise less expensive, simple to utilize and are more secure than chemical depilatories.
The disadvantages are that this is not a completely painless technique and take some time to work. It is a long, sluggish and tiresome process. Overuse of abrasives can trigger severe damage to the skin. As the abrasives do not get rid of the hair listed below the skin surface area, they have to be applied regularly.
Eflornithine creams
These creams assist with facial hair removal. Eflornithine is a hair eliminating representative and is a hair development retardant. The cream is applied around the lips or simply under the chin. It works by obstructing a natural compound in the hair roots that is needed for hair to grow.
While eflornithine slows hair development it does not completely stop hair development. Moreover, it can take as long as 4 weeks, certainly often even longer, for the complete result of this method to end up being noticeable. It does not offer immediate outcomes.
The irreversible techniques of hair elimination include:
Laser hair removal treatment
This is an efficient and long-tern service for unwanted hair development. With the introduction of this method, increasingly more individuals are turning to this long-term hair elimination technique. It is both effective and budget-friendly.
The laser hair removal treatment first ended up being commercially readily available in the mid 1990s. Laser is utilized in a range of cosmetic treatments, consisting of hair elimination. Laser energy is transformed into heat. This serves to disable the roots and leave the surrounding skin unscathed, hence apprehending hair development.
While the number of sessions needed for laser hair removal treatment differs from patient to client, it must always consider the gender, and the issue area in question. The average run is 3 to 6 sessions, though some body parts require prolonged treatment.
Laser hair removal is a long-lasting treatment for undesirable hair development and is far more secure. The laser beam eliminates unwanted hair without triggering damage to the skin pores and structures. In addition, there are no significant side effects of hair elimination laser surgical treatment. Avoiding exposure to sunshine greatly lessens the danger of any problem.
Electrolysis is a great option to laser hair elimination. It is specifically helpful for people with light skin and grey hair. Electrolytic method of hair elimination deals with most body parts, including the face, thighs, abdominal area, breasts and legs.
The electrolysis treatment uses shortwave radio frequency to ruin hair development centers through gadgets called epilators. This process is comparatively unpleasant, time consuming and pricey.
Post-treatment blues include dry skin, scabs, inflammation and scarring. Opportunities of an infection are also present.
Extreme Pulse Light therapy
Originated by Dr. Patrick Bitter Jr., this method of hair elimination utilizes high strength pulses of light. This is an advanced technique of getting rid of unwanted hair. In addition, it can deal with problems like induced dyspigmentation, poikiloderma of civatte, acne rosacea, damaged capillaries and pigmented birth marks. This technology ensures effective and safe hair removal.
Intense Pulse Light treatment can be used at any age. The treatment includes the passing of an intense flash of light or pulse through the prism, into the tissue of the skin till it strikes the hair shafts or the hair roots, where the melanin lies. This triggers most of the hair roots and shafts to vaporize, damaging the hair-producing papillae or the whole hair roots. The treatment is generally carried out every 3-4 weeks.
Extreme Pulse Light therapy is both long lasting and efficient in dealing with big locations of the skin all at once. The duration of the treatment depends on the type of problem being dealt with, but normally lasts for approximately 6 months. After each session the treatment location is protected from UV rays exposure.
Side effects include likely blistering, hyper-pigmentation or minor bleeding. It can take from three to 12 months for the regular skin tone to return. In uncommon cases, patients have reported irreversible skin coloring changes and scarring.

I recently finished Counted with the Stars by Connilyn Cossette, and I can honestly say it's one of the best books I've read in a while. I adore historical fiction, but this setting, plot line, and perspective are surprisingly different than most historical fictions. Counted with the Stars is a refreshing take on story many of us have heard numerous times in church while growing up.
Told from the viewpoint of a young Egyptian elite-turned-slave, this novel revolves around Moses, the plagues, and the exodus of the Hebrews from Egypt. Kiya, the main character, learns to deal with her own cultural prejudices as she becomes friends with a fellow slave, Hebrew-born Shira.
While I've heard the story of the plagues of Egypt and the exodus of the Hebrews, seeing it "first hand" made me think how miserable and disheartening that period of history must have been for the Egyptians, but also how joyful yet fearful it had to have been for the Hebrews. The novel is full of twists and turns, which kept me guessing to the last pages. Surprising for a story that I already knew the overall ending to!
I would highly recommend this novel, not just to historical fiction lovers, but to anyone who wants a fresh look at what life in Egypt might have been like during the life of Moses. Woven into this story are tiny details of the culture and language of the Hebrews, and as Kiya learned more about God's chosen people, I found myself learning as well. The end of the book left me pondering a well-known, incredible story for a while.
Find this book, and read it. You won't regret it! Travel with Kiya from her privileged life to her sudden station as a slave, and watch as her eyes open to a whole different world as she befriends Shira and her family. Cossette has written an incredibly piece of fiction that rings with seeds of Biblical truths, and it's well worth your time to read.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher, Bethany House, in exchange for my honest review. This post includes affiliate links.

Yeonmi Park: Free and Writing About It
There are certain parts of the world that are total nightmares. Yeonmi Park has lived plenty of nightmares in her upbringing. The biggest nightmares that she has lived was growing up in North Korea. In her teens, she and her family escaped and wound up experiencing a completely different nightmare. Yeonmi, her mother, and her sister were trafficked for a few years. She eventually got reunited with her family and has made it to true freedom. She eventually learned what her rights are as a human being. Freedom turned out to be something way beyond what she imagined.
This overwhelming new life has eventually led Yeonmi to work towards giving people in her country to experience a completely new life. This led to her appearance at the One Young World Summit and her recalling all of the horrors of North Korea as well as her new book entitled In Order to Live: A North Korean Girl's Journey to Freedom. This Amazon released book goes in depth about her time being trafficked during her escape in China.
The book as reviewed by wikipedia content writers, goes into every brutal aspect of what she has gone through while being trafficked. It pulls no punches in telling about all of the abuse she has suffered. Her book is also an empowering story about the courage to do what it takes to break free from oppression. Her book stays away from sensationalizing the events and is told as Yeonmi remembers it, as she told The Reason. While being oppressed and trafficked is something no one should have to endure, Yeonmi has shown that one can gain value from her experiences and use it to work towards a greater good for others.

Just a new thread for The Last Jedi. The old thread was for the trailer.
I took my kids to see it and we all loved it. I think it is too early for spoilers. The run time, 2 hours and 33 minutes. Strangely, it did not seem like a 2.5 hour movie.
What I liked, non spoiler edition:
I liked many of the new characters. There is a fair bit of CG for the film, but only when models and costumes wouldn't have worked. Kylo Ren is really ominously chaotic. From the last movie, I think they nailed him as a bad guy because of that madness lurking under that hair. The tantrums from the last movie really locked him in as a big dangerous baby.
What I disliked:

Inter are ready to offer Mauro Icardi a new contract worth €8m per year with a release clause set at €180m, it's reported.
The Nerazzurri are eager to lock down their star centre-forward and captain after interest from the likes of Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Chelsea and Manchester United.
According to FCInterNews, the proposal being lined up would run to 2023 and earn him €8m per year in wages.
The release clause would also be increased from €120m to €180m.
If Inter again miss out on the Champions League, then Icardi's future would be in doubt for both his own ambitions and for their Financial Fair Play situation.

My maid manages to cook dinner for us most of the weekdays. During her cooking sessions, she reminded me to buy a pack of chilli powder. We went to a nearby local market & bought a packet of chilli powder & started using it. She used the same chilli powder for 2-3days. I entered the kitchen few days after that & decided to prepare "Palakura Pappu"(Andra Style Spinach Dal). I poured 1/2tsp of chilli powder to the dish & my maid interrupted saying, the mirchi powder is not very spicy & suggested me to add some more. I then tasted the chilli powder a little & found that it was nowhere near to red chilli powder. I hardly could feel any spice in that, but noticed that the red color of the powder was giving a feel that, the powder is very good. I asked my maid to throw that powder immediately & decided not to buy any powders from the local markets here. The dal prepared also tasted bad & hubby started saying, ninna aduge eega modalina level nalli illa" (Your cooking is not up to the mark these days).
Next day evening was roti & tomato-onion gojju at our home. I had asked my maid to throw the red chilli powder & started staring at my ceiling for red chilli powder. Eureka.., I immediately recalled preserving some chilli flakes packets during our usual pizza sessions. I decided to use the chilli flakes available with me for tomato onion gojju. Here is what I felt after eating: "Tomatoes were melting while onions were crunchy. The chilli flakes, sugar gave a nice flavor, taste to the tangy gojju & the channa dal tempering took this dish to a different level altogether."
Tomatoes: 4 medium sized
Onions: 2 medium sized
Green Peas: 1/4th cup boiled or frozen(optional)
Oil: 1tbsp
Mustard Seeds: ½ tsp
Channa dal: 1.5 tbsp
Urad dal: ½ tsp (optional)
Curry leaves: 4-6
Chilli flakes: 1 tsp ( we like it less spicy )
Salt: according to taste
Sugar: 1tsp
Coriander leaves: 1 tbsp (for garnishing)
- Chop the tomatoes into ½ inch pieces. Thin slice the onions & keep aside
- Heat a pan, add oil to the pan. When oil is hot, add mustard seeds, follow it by urad & channa dal. Fry till dals turn golden brown. Add curry leaves.
- Add the onions & fry for a while (no need to fry till it turns golden brown, fry till the raw smell of onion vanishes). Add boiled green peas & saute again.
- Add the chopped tomatoes & cook it for 3-4 minutes. Now add, sugar, salt, chilli flakes & cook on a medium flame for 5-7 more minutes.
- Switch off the flame, garnish it with coriander leaves.
- Gojju is ready to be served with dosa, idli, roti or rice.
Do not mash the tomatoes or over cook them. The tomato pieces needs to maintain its shape & yet become soft.

Wood Floor Types & Species: An Introduction to the most common Types of Wood Flooring for your Los Angeles home or office
|Solid Wood Flooring
Solid wood flooring comes in three main types. Each type is available in both an Unfinished and Prefinished version. Solid wood flooring is one piece of solid wood from top to bottom. The main benefit of solid wood flooring is that it can be sanded and refinished many times. Read more about Solid flooring.
|Engineered Wood Flooring
Engineered flooring is produced by adhering layers of plastic laminate veneer with real wood. Engineered wood flooring should not be confused with laminate wood flooring. Laminate flooring contains no actual wood. The sub layers can be of the same species, or of different species. Engineered wood floor types can be installed below, on or above grade.
|Acrylic-impregnated Wood Flooring
This type of flooring is most commonly used in commercial, not residential, projects. Acrylic-impregnated Wood flooring is infused With sealant and color throughout the thickness of the wood. This wood floor type is very hard and it is highly resistant to moisture and scratches.
|Factory-Prefinished & Unfinished Wood Floors
Most hardwood flooring is installed Pre-finished, with several coats of protective surface finish already factory applied. Unfinished floors are delivered raw and finished on site. Unfinished floors give the homeowner an opportunity to choose from the wide range of colors, stains And finishes, which contribute to the personalization of a Hardwood Floor.
There are a host of other natural hardwoods, but these are the most common. They have varying degrees of hardness, color ranges and moisture stabilities. Fortunately, at Century Custom Hardwood Floors in Los Angeles we're experts in EVERYTHING-hardwood floors! Whether it's an Unfinished Bamboo Floor or a Prefinished White Oak Floor, we're your guys!

19 Wednesday
The Manitou Springs aerie of Concrete Couch founder Steve Wood might be the only yard in the area to feature a homemade climbing wall covered in mosaic. Luckily, Wood likes to share: "The Couch" fosters community involvement in the arts through mural and sculpture from Fort Carson to Soda Springs Park, and is now bringing its weighty sense of whimsy downtown with an arts walk co-hosted by Couch staffers, the Cultural Office of the Pikes Peak Region and Mayor Steve Bach. The free 5 p.m. stroll leaves from the City Administration Building (30 S. Nevada Ave., peakradar.com) and will visit several nearby public artworks, with discussion on their positive impact on the surrounding neighborhood, and finish at the Modbo and S.P.Q.R. — Claire Swinford
20 Thursday
Young adults think they know everything — until faced with the reality of, say, death. Things I Don't Understand, winner of the Best Feature Film at the 2012 Indie Spirit Awards, follows grad student Violet as she develops a friendship with a terminal cancer patient she interviews for her thesis; suddenly, her problems seem inconsequential. The trailer emphasizes the cynical nature of youth, but ultimately (of course) offers a look at what it takes to truly become a "grown-up." Things plays at 7 tonight at the Tim Gill Center for Public Media (315 E. Costilla St., ifsoc.org, $4). — Celine Wright
21 Friday
Manitou Springs sees its fair share of street festivals, my personal favorite being the zombie apocalypse crawl. But today's not about the undead. We're talking about the very lively (and free), three-day Third Friday Artwalk Weekend (tinyurl.com/cfygtxg), which starts tonight with demos by artists, live music, and art openings in multiple Manitou galleries from 5 to 8. Saturday brings more activities from noon to 5, plus the highly anticipated Clayfest (clayfest.com), held in Soda Springs Park from 10 to 5. Expect activities including blindfolded pot throwing, tandem throwing, no-hand throwing and a relay competition. — Kiki Lenihan
22 Saturday
Want to know which Zeppelin songs the Colorado Springs Philharmonic will perform at tonight's 8 o'clock The Music of Led Zeppelin Pops show? You'll have to be there to find out. The Philharm, conducted by guest Brent Havens and featuring vocalist Randy Jackson, could rock out to the usual suspects, like "Dazed and Confused," "Stairway to Heaven," or "Immigrant Song," but could go in an entirely esoteric direction. Discuss, and then see the show. Tickets run $19 to $59, and it all happens at the Pikes Peak Center (190 S. Cascade Ave., csphilharmonic.org). — Edie Adelstein
23 Sunday
You could do the right thing and head to the second day of Woodland Park's Rocky Mountain Oktoberfest at the Ute Pass Cultural Center (210 E. Midland Ave., woodlandparkchamber.com), or you could do the weird thing and go get Red Robin's new Samuel Adams milkshake. We recommend the route of German beers, brats and wine, not to mention bands with names like Polka Schnapps, Squeeze Play and the Alan Polivka All Star Band. That way also yields a climbing wall and giant slide for the kids — who, up to age 20, get in free; everybody else pays $5 to $6 — and, starting at 11 and going until 6, all the schnitzel and sauerkraut man essen kann. — Bryce Crawford
24 Monday
When Doldrums was released to critical hosannas on Animal Collective's fledgling Paw Tracks label in 2004, Ariel Pink was already a study in contradictions. His lo-fi masterpiece was a Burroughsian cutup of the former L.A. record store clerk's influences — Can, Bowie, Modern Lovers, R. Stevie Moore — combined with an engagingly original pop sensibility most evident on the album's weirdly catchy Kate Bush homage, "For Kate I Wait." Unfortunately, his live shows totally sucked. But not anymore, as he'll prove tonight at the Summit Music Hall (1902 Blake St., Denver, sodajerkpresents.com) when his band Haunted Graffiti performs songs from his new, hipster-embraced 4AD album Mature Themes, alongside high-res versions of past favorites. Door time is 7, tickets are $20 to $22, with Dam Funk and Bodyguard opening. — Bill Forman
25 Tuesday
Though the Waldo Canyon Fire laid waste to the nearly 60-year-old Flying W Ranch — along with the on-site studio where the Flying W Wranglers recorded all their music — the Old West traditions they embodied are less easily overcome. Witness the National Chuckwagon Jamboree, a music festival that finds refuge this year in the City Auditorium (221 E. Kiowa St., flyingw.com/Jamboree.aspx). Yesterday and today, from 6 to 9:40, our Wranglers will be joined by singing groups from New Mexico, Wyoming, South Dakota and Durango. Tickets are $25 per night, a fair price to take part in this celebration of cowboy culture at its best. — Bill Forman

Join Bobby on The Hard Shoulder every Tuesday, with thanks to Energia
Each week broadcaster, entrepreneur and agony uncle Bobby Kerr joins The Hard Shoulder to answer all your employment-related questions.
Bobby kicked off this week by taking a swipe at a phenomenon that has become a standard in workplaces around the world - the open plan office.
Championed by the likes of Google and Facebook, the concept was originally designed to enhance collaboration, camaraderie and the exchange of ideas in the workplace.
In recent times however, the notion has taken a bit of a battering - and Bobby is one of those who remains unconvinced.
"First of all you can't work quietly," he says. "There are massive disturbances, there are huge distractions."
He feels the concept actually discourages collaboration because there is often nowhere to have a private conversation and, "basically you are like a goldfish in a bowl."
"They also say that personal space is the most important contribution to your job satisfaction," he says.
"In other words your little piece of space, where you work and how comfortable you feel there - that is massively important in how satisfied you are in your job."
"The first thing I would do is I would try and get myself as organised as I could before the time came," says Bobby.
"I would look for other jobs, I would research the market, I would do up my CV and I would look at the positives."
It is time for this listener to look at what he has achieved during his time in the military - and work out where that experience might be put to the best use.
"I just think that psychologically you are at an advantage if you do that," says Bobby.
"If there is a gap between leaving the defence forces and finding employment, it could be more tricky. Use the time now to get yourself organised, research the market and go and get yourself a job. No problem."
While this can definitely be a difficult conversation to have, now is not the time to mince words - Bobby's advice is to be decisive, definitive and speak in black and white terms.
While any employee - especially someone on work experience - has a right to know what went wrong, Bobby's advice is to be brief and stand firm in your decision.
"This is very simple," he says. "It is about clarity."
"You wait probably to the end of the day or the end of the week. You bring the chap in, you tell him it is not working out.
"You say, 'thanks very much, it hasn't work out' and you don't go into too much detail."
"In a nutshell, I think he should go because he is unhappy," says Bobby.
"I don't think two years is too short a time. I think if he is finding himself bored, it is time to move on."
Our listener is happy in Ireland, he has recently gotten engaged and received approval for a mortgage.
"You don't want to go to the UK so don't go to the UK," says Bobby. "Have a look around here."
"I just think you have been in the job two years, you have built up good experience, I would take a calculated risk and I would move on.
"I don't think this person is jumping around. I don't think there is a big gap in the CV [...] I don't see any badness in this."
There are many different ways to go about getting yourself set-up online and Bobby's advice is to look into all the supports that are available.
"The process of setting up a website is not difficult and it is not expensive," he says.
There are a range of websites that offer website creation templates for people with all levels of technical skill - and there are government supports on offer as well.
"Believe it or not the local enterprise board have really good assistance around setting up a website," says Bobby. "They bring you through the whole process."
If you can prove your case and match-fund what is on offer, the board also provides financial assistance in the form of innovation vouchers.
You can listen back to all of Bobby's employment advice from Tuesday's The Hard Shoulder here:

My sugestion to the orginal poster is to get a used smith mixer like I said before. 2 bottles of gas, two regulators, and a used mixer can be had for less than $500. that way you get the best of both worlds.

June 16, 2016 By RYAN HAGEN / STAFF WRITER
San Bernardino is moving toward a confirmation hearing — the final stage in a bankruptcy that began in 2012 — in October after a somewhat bumpy hearing Thursday with the last creditor to object to the second-to-final stage.
That penultimate stage is approval of the so-called disclosure statement, and most of the city's creditors reached settlements with the city that require them to support the disclosure statement and confirmation of the Plan of Adjustment.
But attorneys for an organization called the Big Independent Cities Excess Pool — BICEP — took issue with the way they said BICEP was described in the disclosure statement.
BICEP is a group of six mid-sized cities that pool coverage for liability claims, including an unknown number of civil-rights claims against San Bernardino that total more than $1 million. The city and BICEP disagree about how to handle those claims.
The city's filing included a section that it said was BICEP's position word-for-word.
BICEP's objection "incurred the ire" of U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Meredith Jury.
"This is extraordinary, and I had never seen anything like it," Jury said, "where an objecting creditor is given the full opportunity to say whatever they wanted. The opponent adopted their language verbatim. And yet they're still crying."
Franklin Adams, the attorney for BICEP, said there was a simple explanation: The city wasn't telling the truth about the language being verbatim.
"We gave them language. They did not put it in," Adams said. "They have misled the court today to our detriment. That's not the only place."
Most of BICEP's statement was included in the city's, but it omitted a few sentences, said the city's bankruptcy attorney, Paul Glassman.
"It is true we changed some of the language where we thought either was not true or did not make sense, but then we sent it back to BICEP and said, 'Here's what we're proposing to put in,' " Glassman said in court. "We did not receive a response back, nor did BICEP raise in any objection (in their filing)."
Jury suggested the city file the disclosure statement with the original language from BICEP, add a section explaining their disagreement, and work together with Adams to include a summary paragraph saying that there is a disagreement.
"What they (the people with the claims against the city) need to know is that there is a dispute about how this is going to work, and they can't count on it, if they happen to be in that class of more than a million, other than the city will pay what it promises for the unsecured class," Jury said.
Unsecured claims receive 1 cent for every dollar they're owed, under the city's bankruptcy plan.
Jury will decide whether to favor the city or BICEP on that point before confirming the city's bankruptcy plan, she said.
The first of what could be multiple hearings on whether to confirm the bankruptcy plan — and thus move the city out of bankruptcy — was scheduled for Oct. 14.
First, the city will mail ballots to creditors July 29 asking them whether they approve of the plan.
Creditors will have until Sept. 2 to return those ballots.
