Why is this comparison important?
It is important because one is fundamentally dependent on the other.
The distinctive personality of an organization is referred to as its culture and without the right system of shared values, knowledge, attitudes and beliefs, growth is very unlikely. The quality of work produced is a direct correlation of the prevailing culture.
In order to enhance growth, every organization must develop and maintain a unique culture. This outlines a set of guidelines and boundaries for the actions of the members of the organization.
Organizational culture is a clear driver of competitive advantage.
Who is responsible for Organizational Culture?
Improving on organizational culture is certainly a joint effort. Every employee, at every level, is responsible and expected to champion the cause. Culture is a mutual experience where all have a part to play.
Having said that, every leader also has a role to play in creating, nurturing and maintaining the organizational culture.
What conscious steps can be taken towards a healthy culture?
High value should be placed on innovation. Explore new ways of getting things done and don't get stuck with the norm.
To create an innovative culture, innovation must be seen as a job description. It should be at the core of every business and given a prominent place in procedures, and performance evaluations.
In a strictly accountable system, people are committed to creating the conditions that produce agreed upon results. Accountability accelerates performance and helps to measure work progress. It also gets rid of unproductive behaviors that obstruct the path to success.
More attention to Detail
A vital characteristic of organizational culture is each and everyone's ability to achieve thoroughness and accuracy when accomplishing a task.
Employees are expected to perform their work with precision. This can also be achieved by several revisions on the task when completed as well as a second opinion.
Result Orientation
Focus must be on results, a very high commitment to delivery. Not only effectively but also efficiently. While process is key, this theory lays more emphasis on the results rather than the process.
It analyzes productivity of employees based on the number of tasks completed in a specified period. Employees are at liberty to utilize personalized processes in an effort to achieve set targets at the organization.
Teamwork improves performance, employee relationship and company culture. This means there should be a sense of unity, enthusiasm for common interests and responsibilities.
Work activities may be organized around teams instead of individuals in order to place a high value on this characteristic of organizational culture.

Dr. James C. Bartlett serves as the interim dean of the School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences (BBS), a position to which he was appointed to in September 2015.
An Ashbel Smith Professor, Bartlett has served as program head of the PhD program in cognition and neuroscience and is a Fellow at the Center for Vital Longevity.
Bartlett received his bachelor's degree from UT Austin and his PhD from Yale University. He has been a UT Dallas professor since 1975, the year that the school opened its doors to undergraduates. He previously has served as dean of graduate studies and research, as well as associate dean at the School of Human Development — the predecessor to BBS.
The School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences at UT Dallas is an exciting place full of cutting edge discoveries, knowledgeable and caring professors, and students who are learning, growing and thriving.
Like many of my colleagues, I've always had a natural desire to discover things. I tell my students it's like Christmas morning when they come in with new data from a completed experiment. I don't know where that comes from — it's just instinctive. It's the kind of thing that brings real joy.
I hope all of our students will experience the same passion and excitement as they begin researching topics related to psychological sciences, communication sciences, and cognition and neuroscience.
Our school's research is at the cutting edge of scientific study and our professors are known for their great teaching skills. We would love to talk with you about how the School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences can help grow your own skills, as well as your passion for scientific discovery.
Dr. James C. Bartlett

A new Wong Fei-Hung film is in the works, to be directed by Roy Chow Hin-Yeung ("Nightfall","Murder") from a script by Christine To ("Fearless","Nightfall"). China's SARFT has approved the script, and according to a synopsis will depict a youthful Wong Fei-Hung battling hooligans and helping the poor. It's a near certainty that the hero is a "young punk" and, thus, eliminates Donnie Yen and Vincent Zhao/Chiu Man-Cheuk as prospects for the lead role. Below, some possibilities to portray the hero and their respective bona fides. (Sina), 2

It was announced in January that Kathryn Bigelow's next film would be on the hunt for Bin-Laden. The story clearly changed when Bin Laden was killed. The ending was set and the stakes got higher. And they got even higher when the release date was announced by Sony (so this clearly means it will go into way more theatres than The Hurt Locker did) for October 12, 2012, just a couple of weeks before the 2012 election.
Now that Obama is in a bit of a crisis (so to speak) according to Maureen Dowd's column in the NY Times yesterday, the administration is pinning its hopes that the Oscar winner will deliver a film that will create a narrative to help remind the American public that killing Bin Laden is one of the things that the Obama administration has gotten right.
Dowd says that Kathryn Bigelow and Mark Boal have high level access to government officials:
The moviemakers are getting top-level access to the most classified mission in history from an administration that has tried to throw more people in jail for leaking classified information than the Bush administration.
It was clear that the White House had outsourced the job of manning up the president's image to Hollywood when Boal got welcomed to the upper echelons of the White House and the Pentagon and showed up recently — to the surprise of some military officers — at a C.I.A. ceremony celebrating the hero Seals.
While The Hurt Locker didn't have any clear cut political agenda this one looks like it might. It's great that Bigelow and Boal are using their hard fought won power to make the kinds of movies they want to. Only time will tell if this will be the type of movie the Obama administration was hoping for. Giving filmmakers access does not guarantee you get the type of film you want.

My adventures in wool....from raising fiber animals to rug hooking!

Rug Hooking Etiquette
14 comments:
- Carolyn said...
Thank you! I remember going to the first camp and being totally lost. The teacher spent three days fold and restocking her wools. Yes, I had one of her patterns, purchased the color planned wools from her and felt like I only took six hour drive for a shopping trip. I hooked all three days and could hardly wait to load and leave. Have I or will I ever do that again? Probably not. I quilted for many years and never spent that kind of money to sit n sew with others. It's fine for those who do, but it's certainly not for everyone.
- March 4, 2017 at 3:32 PM
- Kris Miller said...
Hi Carolyn, So sorry for a bad experience! Not all teachers are like that...certainly I am not and I know many other talented teachers who put blood, sweat, and tears into their class time. I hope you will try rug camp again sometime!
- March 4, 2017 at 3:36 PM
- Karen Buchheit said...
Your advice is 'right on' Kris! Especially the loud talking...it is very annoying. I'll be looking forward to the rest of your etiquette advice! Loved taking your class in the past & will do so again.

Sage advice sweet Kris ~ and love the idea of posting on this subject! following along......

- Rughooker said...
Great subject, Kris. You hit a problem right on the nose with the loud talk subjects - even teachers can be so loud that sometimes it's hard to be in the neighboring classroom. I think the whole key to this aspect of etiquette is respect - if each person chooses to respect the other students and the teacher, it will be much easier for the teacher to give the students their moneys worth! By the way, I have heard people all over the country talk about what a great teacher you are, Kris. I'm always proud to say I know you!
- March 5, 2017 at 1:43 AM
- scarlett said...
Excellent subject. I'm sure a blog could be totally devoted to etiquette. I'm a quilter and I always thought it would be a good idea to put masking tape right down the middle of the table for those who seem to spread out.

Don't be a teacher hog. Others are there to get help too. I like it when the teacher rotates around the room. I hate to admit it but I am not hearing very good these days and wear hearing aids and sometimes in some rooms it's overwhelming all the different conversations at once. Be sure and buy some wool from your teacher that is how they make enough money to come and help you. Try to keep your area reasonably neat. I sometimes have the explosion method of keeping my wool neat. this is not so good. don't hog more than your side of the table. If the teacher is packing up after class ask if you could be of help. People like teachers get very tired after a long day on their feet. There may be some jobs you could do to help. Ask questions as what you ask may be just what the shy person wants to know. One teacher had a person in class write down all the questions and then she made sure she covered the questions. i really liked this method. rug camps are very fun and refreshing if people use respect for others when they attend.
- March 5, 2017 at 10:46 PM
- Lynn Porter said...
Appreciate your advise as well as Carolyn's comment.
I want to add from a participants point of view, make a class closed if you are not truely available to people who bring their own pattern and some wool. This did not occur with you, but have had that recently in a class and would have preferred to buy if I had known less sharing was going to occur. Know thyself and close the class if better for ALL.

|Are you a sports fan?Our events are the premier place to mix and mingle with world-renown athletes, champions, and legends from rugby, football (soccer), cricket, boxing, and the Olympics.Our events are also a great place to acquire sports memorabilia. We often host auctions of one-of-a-kind autographed merchandise, with the proceeds going to support our charitable giving.Legends in Attendance
We have had the privilege of having the following sports legends attend our events:
|Joe CalzagheWales – Undefeated Welsh former professional boxer who retired in February 2009 with an undefeated record, becoming only the third European boxer, to retire as an undefeated world champion. He is also the former WBO, WBA, WBC, IBF, and the British super middleweight champion. In 2007, Calzaghe became BBC Sports Personality of the Year, beating Ricky Hatton and Lewis Hamilton by gaining 28.19% of the public vote.
|Mike CattWith a 13 year international career and a part of the 2003 World Cup winning England side, Mike has played for the England side as well as the British & Irish Lions.He also earned 220 caps playing with Bath over 12 years. Mike was awarded the MBE (Member of the Order of the British Empire) in the 2004 Queen's New Years Honors List for his services to sport.
|Ray Clemence, MBERay is one of English and European football's most decorated goalkeepers ever and was part of the Liverpool team of the 1970s when Liverpool won five league titles and three European Cups. Clemence is still held in very high regard by the Anfield faithful and was voted in at No.11 on the Official Liverpool Football Club web site poll, 100 Players Who Shook The Kop. Clemence began his career at Scunthorpe where he was spotted by Bill Shankly before signing for Liverpool in 1967. In 1982 he joined Spurs where he played over 200 times. Clemence was a regular for England between 1972 to 1984, making 61 appearances. A number which would have been significantly more if his career hadn't coincided with Peter Shilton.
|Steve CollinsConsidered to be one of the toughest boxers of the past century, widely considered to be the hardest pound for pound fighter of the late 90s, having never been stopped in a high profile career. The Irishman was part of a golden age of European Super Middleweight boxing, along with Chris Eubank and Nigel Benn. It was not until Collins reached his 30s that he fulfilled his potential, becoming the WBO Middleweight champion and later the WBO Supermiddleweight champion.
|Jonathan DaviesWorld-renowned rugby outside half who has captained Wales in both 'union' and 'league' codes and Great Britain (league). Davies won league championships with Neath, a SWALEC Cup with Llanelli and Triple Crown plus 27 caps with the National Team before switching codes. He also won a league championship with Widnes and the league's 'Man of Steel' and player of the year awards while at Warrington.

A VBA enumeration is a special type of constant that automatically assigns predefined values to its members. Usually, the members are related. For instance, there's an enumeration named vbDayOfWeek that contains constants for each day of the week. You can see its members by opening a module in the Visual Basic Editor and entering
Don't forget the period at the end-that wakes up VBA's Intellisence, which displays the members.
You can view enumerates specific to an Office application by opening Help in the VBE and typing, "enumerate." (You must be in the VBE.)
VBA is flexible where enumerates are concerned and allows you to create your own. To do so, declare an enumeration type using the Enum statement in the Declarations section of a standard or public class module using the syntax
Private Enum WorkDays
Public Enum WorkDays
where WorkDays is the enumerate's name (which you provide). Then list the constant names in order of their appropriate Integer values. VBA will assign the value 0 to the first constant and increase by 1 for each subsequent member. You might never use the Integer values, but keep this in mind when creating your list. For Example, VBA would assign the values 0 through 4 to the members Monday through Friday:
Private Enum Workdays
End Enum
To use the enumeration, simply declare a variable as the enumeration's type in the form
Dim DayOff As WorkDays
DayOff = workdayconstant
where workdayconstant is Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday or 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4, respectively.

Literary career[edit]
Pearson became the first American to receive the Raymond Chandler-Fulbright Fellowship at Oxford University in 1991. He received the Quill Award from the Missouri Writers Hall of Fame, its highest honor. This award serves as a reminder of the importance of writing, and encourages young people to develop their own joy for writing.
Pearson's novels for adults include: novels featuring characters John Knox & Grace Chu--The Red Room (2014);Choke Point (2013);The Risk Agent (2012); novels featuring the character Walt Fleming--In Harm's Way (2010), Killer Summer (2009), Killer View (2008), and Killer Weekend (2007); novels featuring the character Lou Boldt and Daphne Matthews--The Body of David Hayes (2004), The Art of Deception (2002), Middle of Nowhere (2000), The First Victim (1999), The Pied Piper (1998), Beyond Recognition (1997), No Witnesses (1994), The Angel Maker (1993), and Undercurrents (1988).
Standalone novels include: Cut and Run (2005), The Diary of Ellen Rimbauer (2001)--(under the pseudonym of Joyce Readon, Ph.D), Parallel Lies (2001), Chain of Evidence (1995), Hard Fall (1992), Probable Cause (1990), The Seizing of Yankee Green Mall (1987), Blood of the Albatross (1986), and Never Look Back (1985). Ridley also wrote three Chris Klick mysteries under the pseudonym of Wendell McCall.
The Diary of Ellen Rimbauer: My Life at Rose Red was adapted as a film called The Diary of Ellen Rimbauer (2003)
To describe how Peter Pan met Captain Hook, Ridley teamed up with his long-time friend, humorist Dave Barry, to co-author Peter and the Starcatchers (2004), a prequel to Peter Pan; it is published in the US by Disney and by Walker Books in the UK. The novel was adapted as a play, Peter and the Starcatcher, written by Rick Elice, which premiered on Broadway at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre in early 2012, and earned the most Tony nominations of any play in history— nine. The play received five Tony awards at the ceremony on June 10, 2012. The play went on a national tour in 2013-14. Pearson and Barry have produced three additional prequels – Peter and the Shadow Thieves (2006), Peter and the Secret of Rundoon (2007), and Peter and the Sword of Mercy (2009). Another Peter-related book published by the duo is Bridge to Neverland (2011).
Also for Disney, Pearson has written a series of novels set inside Disney theme parks, called The Kingdom Keepers, in which five teenagers battle the Overtakers—the evil Disney villains—to keep the parks safe. Book 1: The Kingdom Keepers: Disney After Dark (2005) takes place in the Magic Kingdom; Book 2: The Kingdom Keepers: Disney at Dawn(2008) takes place in the Animal Kingdom; Book 3: The Kingdom Keepers: Disney in Shadow (2010) takes place in Epcot; Book 4: The Kingdom Keepers: Power Play (2011) takes place in Disney's Hollywood Studios; Book 5:The Kingdom Keepers: Shell Game (2012) takes place on the cruise ship—Disney Dream. Book 6: The Kingdom Keepers: Dark Passage (2013) also takes place on the Disney Dream. Book 7:The Kingdom Keepers: The Insider (2014) ends the series in Disneyland. He continues the series, however, with a spin-off, The Return:Disney Lands (2015). This series continues with The Return: Legacy of Secrets (2016) and The Return: Disney at Last (2017).[1] The fourth book in this installment is currently in the works. Pearson takes his research for these books very seriously by travelling to the various parks and staying after hours to better capture what the parks feel like "after closing." Pearson has also written Steel Trapp: The Challenge (2008) and Steel Trapp: The Academy (2010).
Also with Dave Barry, Ridley Pearson has written Science Fair (2008) and three Never Land books: Escape from the Carnivale (2006), Cave of the Dark Wind (2007), and Blood Tide (2008).
Personal life[edit]
Pearson was raised by his parents, Robert and Betsy Pearson, in Riverside, Connecticut, along with his siblings, Bradbury and Wendy. He was educated at the University of Kansas, and Brown University. He lived in Shanghai, China from summer 2008 to summer 2009. His residence is in Saint Louis, Missouri, with his wife, Marcelle, and their two daughters Paige and Storey.[2] He often incorporates his daughters as characters into his children's novels.
He also has played bass guitar and sung for the Rock Bottom Remainders, a band of published authors whose 20-year stint ended in June 2012.

From Russia, with Love
A hot-blooded Russian V6 this weekend only!
Last IGC rotation, we brought a V12 Supercar in. Now, we want to continue our line-up of IGC content by offering you the first ever Russian car featured in the Need For Speed franchise. Although production has only ended recently, that doesn't mean you can't drive one in World! It has a 2.8L Turbocharged V6 boasting over 400 BHP. It was manufactured in Finland. It's the Marussia B2! This light RWD sportscar offers good handling with a good sense of speed. This makes the car a good choice for races but it also makes for a good cruiser. If you like high speed pursuits, dodging those pesky cops is recommended over ramming them since it is quite light.
Now, for this weekend only, everyone will be able to pick up this sportscar for $2,300,000.

Irish climber Philip Deignan's hopes of a strong Tour of Britain evaporated today in a crash, and it appears his chances of riding in the 2013 elite world road race championships have also come to an end.
The UnitedHealthcare rider hit the deck approximately four kilometres from the end of the Tour of Britain time trial, causing him to go over the handlebars and suffer a shoulder injury.
A non finisher in that TT, Deignan was brought to hospital where x-rays indicated that he had suffered a fractured collarbone.
According to team spokesman Wesley Mallette, the full picture will be determined in the next two days. "Philip will be examined tomorrow morning, Wednesday, September 18, at a hospital near Manchester, and is scheduled for surgery on Thursday morning, September 19," he said.
It was not yet clear how serious the fracture is. The team has not confirmed at this point in time if he is out of the worlds or not.
Riders have finished Grand Tours with fractured collarbones, although that depends entirely on the nature of the break. Deignan's chances of riding in Florence seem slim, and would likely hinge on the fracture being a hairline crack that could be supported through surgery.
Deignan had previously been selected as one of three named riders for the worlds, joining Nicolas Roche (Saxo Tinkoff) and Dan Martin (Garmin Sharp) on the squad. He has shown strong form this season and would have been a valued addition to the team.
Cycling Ireland had been due to announce the fourth and final slot on the team today but have now held off on the decision due to Deignan's injury. Three riders had been in the running for that berth; Champion System rider Matt Brammeier, Cofidis stagiaire Philip Lavery and An Post Chainreaction Sean Kelly rider Sam Bennett, who finished second on yesterday's stage two of the Tour of Britain.
Cycling Ireland CEO Geoff Liffey told VeloNation that didn't want to comment on what Deignan's injury would mean in terms of selection, but if he is indeed out of the worlds, it means that two rather than one slot will be determined this week.
Deignan has had a strong season, winning the Tour of the Gila in May, placed third on a stage and ninth overall in the Tour of California and netting second in the Tour de Beauce.
More recently, he placed sixth overall in the Tour of Utah and was tenth in the USA Pro Challenge.
He has inked a two year deal to compete with Team Sky, and will thus return to the WorldTour in 2014.

After the popularity of the film Hidden Figures, there will be a lot of interest in your theme this year.ReplyDelete
I have not seen this film, so I'm glad to be reminded. It's on my list believe me. And I do hope you are right about interest. Thanks for stopping by, Alex, and best of luck to you and everyone else this year.Delete
Yay! So pleased you're taking part Sharon! Women in teh sciences seldom get the recognition they deserve. I remember well your previous posts - the one on women air pilots was so interesting from a year or so ago -ReplyDelete
Thank you. It's going to be tough finding enough information. I do all my research online for the AZs so we'll see what happens. Good luck on your topic too :)Delete
I am totally up for your theme. I look forward to seeing which women scientists you've chosen to spotlight. (I'm blogging about astronomy this year, so have a vested interest in your topic.)ReplyDelete
Thanks for visiting! I think I have one or two astronomers in the list. My sketches will be pretty light weight though, nothing in depth, so I'm curious how you handle one science in particular. Checking your site next :)Delete
It sounds interesting so far. Are you posting about women from your country, or from around the world?
My theme is going to be quite different: postcards, as my blog is about all postal things.
I love your postcard theme. I have an old collection I've wanted to do something with too. I'll be stopping by, and hope to see you back here too.Delete
I'm intrigued. Anxious to see what you post in April. Gald you are along for the ride.

Hi! Glad you're along for the ride too. Off to see your site next :)Delete
My BS degree is in chemistry. Looking forward to your choices. I'll be traveling again in April.ReplyDelete
Chemistry is hard, at least it was for me. I remember struggling in a class 'way back when'. This will be "science lite." Have fun traveling and checking in!Delete
Science was something I always struggled with but I am looking forward to your theme and I remembered your theme from last year and so enjoyed it!ReplyDelete
Hi Birgit! Nice to see you again. This is not my best subject either, so I'm anxious to learn a bit, but it will be pretty light weight. Guessing you're doing movie themes again? Off to your site next :)Delete
YES! I'm looking forward to it! Such an important and fun topic :)

Oh yes, thank you. Looking forward to your "weird" topic!Delete
Best of luck with the A-to-Z challenge! It'll be fun to learn more about these female scientists... :)ReplyDelete
Thanks Heather. Wish I had more written at this point. Need to get busy!Delete
Sharon (my real name is Sharon as well), I am looking forward to your series. I am working on a middle grade bio series on Intrepid Women. Your title got me because Mary Anning is one of my subjects! Ada Lovelace is also on my list. I'll be back.
I am writing personality quirks for character development. Thanks for coming to see me there. Hope you'll be back.
Hi Sharon! That would be a fun series to do and I love your a-z theme.Delete
I am a scientist and a teacher. I am always telling my students to give credit where credit is due, and trying to inform them of major scientific advances made by people who were not acknowledged (many of whom were women). I look forward to your posts!ReplyDelete
Your students are lucky to have you! I hope I can find enough information to keep it interesting. Some letters are going to be a challenge. Thanks for stopping by.Delete
You have a knack for picking interesting topics. Good luck!ReplyDelete
Thanks! I actually had three topics this year, and decided this one last minute.Delete
Hi Sharon - these will be fascinating to read - looking forward to it. I missed Hidden Figures - but bought the book - and that had some background information ... so I'm sure I'll enjoy that possibly more than the film.

OVERVIEW:Novecento Slab is the slab serif companion of Novecento Sans, an uppercase + smallcaps font family inspired on european typographic tendencies between the second half of 19th century and first half of the 20th.As the excellent French typographer Xavier Dupr said it seems to have been cast in concrete. Despite its blocky look, Novecento Slabs lettershapes are optically corrected and balanced.This font face is designed to be used mostly for headlines, visual identities or short sentences, both in big and small sizes.Novecento Slab family was spaced and kerned with love and patience; each font has between 750 and 950 group kerning pairs. This font is available for licensing in opentype and webfont format, as well as for mobile apps, ebooks and for software embedding.OPENTYPE FEATURES:AALTAccesses All Alternate glyphs from the Glyphs panels in Adobe Illustrator or Indesign.CASESets All-Caps to activate case sensitive forms: transform lowercase letters, figures and some extra signs to Uppercase; vertically aligns math symbols and punctuation.DNOM & NUMRTransforms 0 to 9 figures into numerators (aligned to cap height) and denominators (aligned to baseline).FRACCustom fractions generation feature.SUPSTransforms 0 to 9 figures into superiors.LOCLRomanian, Moldavian and Polish advanced diacritics support; automatic Catalan punt volant; Dutch localization for accented ij; localization for Turkish i (works also for Kazakh, Tatar, Crimean Tatar, Azeri. Just select your text language to activate the localized accents)CALTdetects German in an uppercase string and substitute it with its uppercase version/ SS01 / SALTAlternate Q letter shape for ultra narrow line heights.Implemented both as Stylistic Set n1 (ss01) and Stylistic Alternate (salt) to maximize compatibility between applications.SS02 / SALTAlternate N letter shape. Implemented both as Stylistic Set n2 (ss02) and Stylistic Alternate (salt) to maximize compatibility between applications.SS03 / SALTAlternate I letter shape.

Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA
Engineered skeletal muscle tissue has the potential to be used as dual use actuator and stress-bearing material providing numerous degrees of freedom and with significant active stress generation. To exploit the potential features, however, technologies must be established to generate mature muscle strips that can be controlled with high fidelity. Here, we present a method for creating mature 3-D skeletal muscle tissues that contract in response to optical activation stimuli. The muscle strips are fascicle-like, consisting of several mm-long multi-nucleate muscle cells bundled together. We have found that applying a tension to the fascicle-like muscle tissue promotes maturation of the muscle. The fascicle-like muscle tissue is controlled with high spatiotemporal resolution based on optogenetic coding. The mouse myoblasts C2C12 were transfected with Channelrhodopsin-2 to enable light (∼470 nm) to control muscle contraction. The 3D muscle tissue not only twitches in response to an impulse light beam, but also exhibits a type of tetanus, a prolonged contraction of continuous stimuli, for the first time. In the following, the materials and culturing method used for 3D muscle generation is presented, followed by experimental results of muscle constructs and optogenetic control of the 3D muscle tissue.

Will Your Next Dental Appointment Be Pain Free?
Nobody looks forward to a painful dental procedure, but pain is usually the worst part of a dental appointment. A new laser could make most dental procedures painless. "It vaporizes the tooth structure and it does it in such a way, it pulses so high that it doesn't hurt," Dr. Fantarella said, "All restorative procedures,… Read More »

An action movie for the intelligent movie goer.
email@example.com | New England | 09/18/1999
(5 out of 5 stars)
"This a kickboxer movie with a story line, in - depth character studies and some downright good acting. Throw in some great music numbers for background and you've got a winner. Kathleen Kinmot and Lorenzo Lamas are at their sizzling best.Anthony Geary is someone you love to hate and Arlene Dahl is super as the star lost in the past. All the actors are at their best."
A dissapointment to Lorenzo Lamas fans!
drag0nshad0w | USA | 05/20/2001
(1 out of 5 stars)
"This movie only had 2 offical fight scenes! And there were some additional "fight scenes" where Lorenzo gets jumped, and one where he goes into this guys night club and beats up a few men. Not incredibly bad storyline, but almost no fighting! Lorenzo doesn't even do his jumping pump roundhouse (a move which he is most notable using in his TV show Renegade). The movie came out one year before his show started, so I guess he was desperate for a role, so he didn't mind starring in this film. Lorenzo plays Miles Keane, a night club owner and photographer. He payed off his loan to the guy who gave it to him by fighting for him. His employer wants him to fight again, he refuses, and then gets framed for murder. Lorenzo has to fight again to save his mom and his girlfriend. This movie only gets one star because Lorenzo Lamas is in it."
Warren E. Moore | Houston Texas | 11/18/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)
"This is a great movie!..Acting is pretty good and Kathleen Kinmont looks great in this
Get to see a side of Lorenzo not typically seen in all of his other movies..
A must see for any Lamas or Kinmont fan!"

The making of this chutney was by a strange coincidence. I prepared vegetable raitha with onions, tomatoes, cucumber and carrot to go with Vegetable Biriyani. For this I deseeded the tomatoes for the salad to be crispy. I did not know what to do with the seeded portion- did not have the heart to throw it away, (if I hadn't thought of a recipe I would have simply consumed them-after all tomato is full of vitamin C!!!). I thought, why not try making a chutney with the tomatoes. When it turned out well, I tried it once again with whole tomatoes, and here goes the recipe:
Small tomatoes 4
Chilli powder 1 tsp.
Dhania Powder 1/2 tsp.
Jeera powder 1/4 tsp.
Hing (asafoetida) 1/2 tsp.
Salt 1 1/2 tsp.
Sambar powder 1/2 tsp.
Cilantro (optional) a little
Mustard and curry leaves for seasoning.
Grind tomatoes with all the powders including salt and cilantro to a fine paste.
No need to add water while blending.

The Shih and the Shen
Welcome to The Shih and The Shen
This is a homebrew campaign using Old World of Darkness supplements. The setting is Dallas, Texas in present day (2014). The players with draw from a hat who will be the Shih (Demon Hunter X) and the other players will start the chronicle as mortal characters using vampire the masquerade rules.
As the campaign proceeds each of the remaining mortal characters will be "Turned, Awakened, Become Possessed, or go through their First Change" as a Vampire, Mage, Demon, or Werewolf. The balance of these characters is mostly negligible, as the canon from the settings is largely unknown to all of the players but the Shih. As these other supernatural have no real idea as to what the restrictions and proper etiquette of each of the supernaturals is they have no choice but to either go it alone, or join forces with the Shih.
We have decided to allow each ST to "turn" the mortal players into a supernatural determined by, again drawing from a hat until all mortal characters are changed.
Note: This is a campaign for advanced players only!!! Seeing as just about everything here is run by multiple Storytellers who trade off every session or every other session it is important that the players have run a world of darkness game before and have no problems with "Meta-gaming". We also realize that this game goes against most everything the entire world of darkness is based off of, so we're forging quite a bit of new meta plot for our own world.
