After starting the blog I've started making many baked goodies and sweets that I feel so guilty and always fear I've put on weight somewhere in my body. In order to compensate the extra calories that goes ever so easily in the pretext of tasting, I started running. I thought that running in the natural terrain will give me fresh air and I won't be bored as I can enjoy the scenic beauty in my neighborhood. Little did I know that my body just doesn't like running. When I run, I pant terribly and the moment I see dogs (which by the way, looks like little ponies) my panting can escalate. To be on the safer side, I decided I'll run indoors in a treadmill in a gym. This option also has its cons. Today I chose a safe spot, next to a grandma, thinking she will by no means intimidate me by running like a marathoner. Mid way during my running, I was almost about to give up when I looked at my neighbor by chance (I curse myself even now, why did I have to look at her, there were so many things running on the tv sets). I was so wrong about her, she was running so perfectly with no indication of stopping anytime soon. Inspired by her dedication for such an intense workout, I pushed myself so hard and finally came home like a drag. Later I had a hearty breakfast but my sweet tooth was aching for a spoonful of tapioca sweet I made yesterday for my kids. This sweet is a Cantonese desert (recipe taken from Perfect Light Desserts by Nick Malgieri and David Joachim), the dish is made by cooking tapioca in simmering coconut milk along with orange peel and when ready to eat, its topped with pineapple and lemon zest salad. The mix of such fresh flavors just alerts you the moment you have a spoon that even a hard workout like the one I had today will not matter anymore. My kids liked it so much because the dish had the natural sweetness of pineapple and not the striking sweetness from sugar.
Tapioca (not the crushed or instant kind–its Indian name is Sago/Sabudana/Javarisi) — 1/4 cup
Whole milk — 1 cup
Orange zest — 4 inch long removed with a vegetable peeler
Sugar — 1 Tbsp (I felt I needed at least 2 more tablespoons)
Thai Coconut milk — 1 cup canned
Heavy Whipping Cream — 1/3 cup
Pineapple — 1 (15 oz can, washed, rinsed and drained) or fresh cut pineapples can also be used.
Sugar — 2 Tbsp
Zest of 1 lime — removed with a zester
Lime Juice –1 Tbsp
Mint leaves — 6 rolled up and cut in to thinnest ribbons possible (I didn't have any so didn't use them)
1. Soak the tapioca in 2 cups cold water for an hour. Pour into a saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally until almost all the water has evaporated. Add the milk, orange zest and sugar and bring it to a boil. Make sure that the heat is not on high, let the tapioca balls boil gently for another 20 minutes until the liquid is thickened. Add the coconut milk and cream and return to a boil. Remove from heat, pour the tapioca in to a bowl and let it cool to a room temperature. Stir occasionally to avoid skin being formed on the top. Remove orange zest and loosely cover with a plastic wrap until you are ready to serve.
2. In a bowl combine pineapple, sugar, lime zest, lime juice, and mint, if using. Set aside.
3. When serving, divide the tapioca equally among the bowls/cups. Mound the drained pineapple in the center of each cups and serve immediately. Enjoy!!!

We were in UK for an year sometime back. There, I had been to a fitness class, where in an old lady (at least 60 yrs old, her face was full of wrinkles) was also participating. Half way through, I was puffing, panting and cursing the moment I joined the class, where as this lady was moving like an acrobat. Not wanting to loose face, I tried my level best to keep up and it took me days to recover from the exhaustion.
No wonder you turned to the sweet for comfort 🙂 and it looks so yummy too!
Pudding looks perfect! Good luck with your running! You will get better if you don't give you.
Sorry typo — I meant if you don't give up.
I hate to walk outside -same reason as you-dogs on the street.So I opt to walk within our compound or on the terrace.This dessert would have made you forget that grand old lady .This surely is a guilt free indulgence 🙂
Love the variation to our old kheer.
Love the dessert. Forget the granny she must have enjoyed all this in her days now she has to workout. We will too when we are her age.;)

At totally different ends of the spectrum.
Out already is a compilation entitled "Crossovers" on the Cronica label. This is part of a project by Simon Whetham called Active Crossover as was recorded live last year as his exhibition toured the UK. At the opening and closing nights, a series of musicians played improvised sets consisting of a solo-duo-solo, the "crossover" bits in the middle are what has been released here. Mine is with electronic artist Igor Hax, recorded in Liverpool, June 2011.
And next up, out on Monday (12th) is the brand new debut album from the Beats & Pieces Big Band, entitled 'Big Ideas'. We recorded it back in November in an intense three-day session with producer Tony Platt (he worked with Bob Marley!) in Livingston Studios (Bjork's been there!), and it's nice to see it reach the light of day. We're pretty excited as already it's taking us all over the country on tour, and, more importantly, it sounds ace.

Many people following the current political campaigns talk about our personality and media elections rather than discussions and awareness of the real issues. Well, two upcoming peace and justice events have been announced this week here in Erie on two such "real issues."
The first will be held today at the Mount. It's a special Evening Praise on the theme of universal health care. It's being organized by our Benedictines for Peace group. If you're not sure of the difference between health insurance and health care, this brief but excellent column from the Philadelphia Inquirer may help: "Health Insurance and Health Care are not the same." The author, a medical doctor, claims that the current candidates, and lots of us, use the terms interchangeably and that they are really quite different.
The second event is a Peace Rally and March marking five years since the U.S. invaded Iraq. It will begin downtown at Perry Square on Sunday, March 9th and is sponsored by the Erie Peace Initiative. One of our sisters is a coordinating member of this group and Benedictines for Peace is a sponsor. Marchers will carry poles of peace cranes in honor of the 4,000 U.S. troops who have lost their lives in Iraq.

I came across this passage in Professional WordPress Plugin Development:
[…] it's essential that you prefix everything with a unique prefix. […] one of the most common errors in plugins is using all too common names for function and variables. […] the website will break because you can't have two functions with the same name in PHP.
So, if I install two plugins from different developers, I cross my fingers and hope that they haven't used any of the same variable or function names, else my site will suffer the consequences. Plugins are compatible by chance.

AT&T Ballpark GDC Blowout - hosted by YetiZen
Wednesday, March 19, 2014 at 8:00 PM - Thursday, March 20, 2014 at 12:00 AM (PDT)
Event Details
YetiZen Presents: AT&T GDC Bash 2014!
That's rght. The Ballpark.
Come, mingle, drink, party with fellow game industry hooligans at the MOST Epic party GDC has ever seen. That's right folks... we're renting out the Ballpark!
Here's the message from Uber: "Need a ride to ATT Ballpark? YetiZen is partnering with Uber to give party attendees a free first ride up to $25.

Last year the demand came in for games. We heard you. Pool Tables, Ping Pong Tables, Air Hockey, and live tournament video games running all night long! As usual there will be drinks served all night, would we ever throw a party without the nectar of the Yetis?
Aside from the fun photobooth opportunity, we have something special. Get YOUR PHOTO taken with not one... but TWO WORLD SERIES TROPHIES!!!
The Entertainment:
Claes Cem!
If you ask Claes how best to experience his music, he will smile and say, "Join me at my next concert!" His live performance has been shaped by a life of touring the road, building fans from the Highlands of Scotland to the Turquoise Sea of the Caribbean.
Claes, a born performer, spent his childhood in Scandinavia, where he grew up listening to artists such as Paul Simon, Sting, Mark Knopfler, and Dave Matthews.
Performing started early at the age of 8 when Claes first picked up his mother's guitar. Being left-handed, he took a cue from Jimmy Hendrix, stringing the guitar upside down. This worked well, until his mother got fed up with not being able to play her own instrument, at which point Claes taught himself to play right handed.
Check out Claes at: http://www.claescem.com/
Lex Lu!

Feature: Book Bloggers International!
BBI is a great new blog space put together by Becca (of Lost in Books), Tif (of Tif Talks Books), and Tasha (of Truth Beauty Freedom and Books). Their goal is to create a place where book bloggers can network and get to know each other a little better. I know that I come across new book blogs every.single.day, so having a site like this will be really helpful for me in terms of networking! I already was introduced to a great new-to-me blogger (Bryan from Still Unfinished) in their first feature earlier this week.
I am honored to be the blogger they chose for today's feature, which you can check out HERE.
Check out Book Bloggers International, y'all, and I hope I'll see you featured there soon! :)

As we wrap up The 2018 TBR Pile Challenge, I am pleased to announce that Roof Beam Reader's official TBR Pile Challenge is back for its EIGHTH YEAR!
This challenge started when I realized I had some MAJOR issues with buying books but never reading them (not because I don't read – but because I have such a book buying problem!) Year after year, books would sit on my shelf untouched, and I would end up reading newer ones first. I realized I was missing out on a lot of great books because I let them sit there gathering dust instead of reading them as I bought them.
The Goal: To finally read 12 books from your "to be read" pile (within 12 months).
1. Each of these 12 books must have been on your bookshelf or "To Be Read" list for AT LEAST one full year. This means the book cannot have a publication date of 1/1/2018 or later (any book published in the year 2017 or earlier qualifies, as long as it has been on your TBR pile). Caveat: Two (2) alternates are allowed, just in case one or two of the books end up in the "can't get through" pile.
2. To be eligible, you must sign-up with the Mr. Linky below. Link to your list (so create it ahead of time!) and add updated links to each book's review. Books must be read and must be reviewed (doesn't have to be too fancy) in order to count as completed.
3. The link you post in the Mr. Linky below must be to your "master list" (see mine below). This is where you will keep track of your books completed, crossing them out and/or dating them as you go along, and updating the list with the links to each review (so there's one easy, convenient way to find your list and all your reviews for the challenge). See THIS LINK for an idea of what I mean. Your complete and final list must be posted by January 15th, 2019.
4. Leave comments on this post as you go along, to update us on your status. Come back here if/when you complete this challenge and leave a comment indicating that you CONQUERED YOUR 2019 TBR LIST! Every person who successfully reads his/her 12 books and/or alternates (and who provides a working link to their list, which has links to the review locations) will be entered to win a $50 gift card from Amazon.com or The Book Depository!
5. Crossovers from other challenges are totally acceptable, as long as you have never read the book before and it was published before 2018!
*Note: You can read the books on your list in any order; they do not need to be read in the order you have them listed. Audiobooks count. Graphic novels count. Poetry collections? Essay collections? All good! As you complete a book – review it, go to your original list and turn that title into a link to the review. This will keep the comments section here from getting ridiculously cluttered. For an example of what I mean, Click Here.
Monthly Check-Ins: On the 15th of each month, I'm going to post a "TBR Pile Check-In." This will allow participants to link-up their reviews from the past month and get some recognition for their progress. There will also be small mini-challenges and giveaways to go along with these posts (Such As: Read 6 books by the June Check-in and be entered to win a book of your choice!) I'm hoping this will help to keep us all on track and make the challenge a bit more engaging/interactive. I started these mini-challenges in 2014, and I think they were a great success, so I am continuing them this year!
Chat: On Social Media, please use #TBR2019RBR

Arterial PET Scanner
Unlocking the Full Potential of Quantitative PET
Currently in Development
For Investigational Purposes Only
A compact, non-invasive PET Scanner that circles the wrist or ankle; it determines the arterial input function essential for quantitative PET. The Arterial PET Scanner is in continuing development.
The SynchroPET Arterial PET Scanner is designed to:
- In the future provide improved diagnoses in clinical treatment; it is currently being used for investigative purposes in therapeutic validation. The results for the input function should compare favorably to the Standard Uptake Value (SUV model).
- Accelerate the process of drug discovery that utilizes PET imaging
- Accelerate the development of new PET Radiopharmaceuticals
- Eliminate the need for an arterial catheter in PET Studies
The Arterial PET Scanner is designed to determine the input function essential for truly quantitative PET. Conventionally, the Standard Uptake Value (SUV)—a semi quantitative analysis–is used to determine the amount of radio tracer observed by a Positron Emission Tomographic scan (PET Scan) and is commonly used in flourodeoxygluse (FDG) imaging (often with FDG 18). Certainly, this quantification is extremely valuable (ref: http://jnm.snmjournals.org/content/45/9/1431.full).
The Arterial PET Scanner is non-invasive and eliminates the need for an arterial catheter. The goal of the Arterial PET Scanner is to provide improved diagnosis in clinical treatment; and is currently being used for investigative purposes in therapeutic validation.
The results of the Arterial PET Scanner should deliver data "at least as good as" or surpassing that of the SUV model.
The development of PET radiopharmaceuticals and drug discovery that incorporates PET imaging should be greatly advanced with the utilization of the Arterial Scanner.

A digital filmmaker's map to the web

Hello YouTube community !ReplyDelete
I have a unique situation with specific questions. I have a background with film/video production & animation, and some computer animation & editing. I want to continue with this as a creative outlet, but I have been a quadriplegic man the last six stagnant years. I'm looking for software that may be compatible with the voice recognition which I already use on the computer. I would like info such as Adobe graphics/editing/Premier... so I don't waste money buying incompatible software.
Contact me on my YouTube page, twitter or Facebook !
Hey Norm, Heather here. I'm going to do a little digging and get back to you. More info soon...thanks for reading!ReplyDelete
Good news.More info soon...thanks for reading!ReplyDelete
Great informationReplyDelete
I'd also point people towards www.indietalk.com - for everything you can think of in indie filmmaking. Great bunch of people there.ReplyDelete
Thanks JamaCreation!ReplyDelete
Norm, I wanted to let you know that I asked around here and no one was familiar with Voice Recognition software being compatible with video editing software. I did some snooping around on the web though and I found this thread which seems to suggest it is possible: http://forums.digitalmedianet.com/cgi-bin/displaywwugpost.fcgi?forum=adobe_premiere&post=031109063238.htm
I hope this helps!
Hi, check out a teaser for my first film I am directing. Would love to get your input, and suggestions how I can get more people to see it. Thanks and really appreciate it.ReplyDelete

Wonderful person. Very professional.
My wife and I have been using David's massage therapy services since 2010. David is not only a professional but very, very knowledgeable about muscles and the structure of the body and he knows what it takes to get the kinks out of your body. Obviously David is great at what he does or we wouldn't be going on 8 years of using his services.
I always look forward to my massage day and the relief from pain it brings.
I like everything about having a message once a week at my home. David is reliable and is a wonderful message therapist. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs a message therapist.
We have used David for years. He is always professional and extremely skilled. My husband and I would highly recommend David. He is the best!
David has been my LMT for over 2 years now. He is beyond exceptional at massage therapy, attentive, professional and kind. I used to have neck and shoulder problems and they have completely disappeared since I have been getting massage from David. I would recommend him to anyone!

The prospect of Peter Jackson directing an adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkein's The Hobbit was an exciting one. After all, this was the guy behind the brilliant Lord of the Rings trilogy, and now he had even more advanced technology at his fingertips to bring Tolkein's world to life. That excitement, however, was dampened by the release of the first film in Jackson's Hobbit trilogy, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, as the result was a bloated, CG-filled disappointment that seemed to relish in meandering instead of advancing the plot. The sequel, then, was released to significantly lowered expectations, and while Jackson's second film is an improvement over An Unexpected Journey, it still carries many of the same faults. Hit the jump for my The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug Blu-ray review.
The Film
The second chapter in Jackson's expanded The Hobbit trilogy gets off to a strong start, as the film opens with a flashback to The Prancing Pony that shows us the first meeting between Gandalf (Ian McKellen) and Thorin (Richard Armitage). The scene is tinged with foreshadowing and seriousness, which is where The Hobbit excels in relation to some of the more cartoonish aspects of the series. The crux of The Desolation of Smaug sees Thorin, Bilbo (Martin Freeman), and the rest of the dwarves continuing their quest to the Lonely Mountain in the hopes of reclaiming their homeland. Their journey is fraught with misadventures, including detours involving the Wood Elves and the inhabitants of Lake-town, but we end with the companions finally entering Smaug's lair and confronting the gold-loving dragon to bombastic, set-piece-filled results.
The Desolation of Smaug becomes far more engrossing when it turns its focus to new characters like the elf Tauriel (Evangeline Lilly) or Bard the Bowman (Luke Evans). This is where The Hobbit trilogy's most glaring problem becomes clear: the dwarves are uninteresting and indistinguishable. Jackson tries his best to give the individual dwarves more screentime in this installment, but it's a fruitless endeavor. There are simply too many of them and there's not enough time to develop individual personalities—the closest we get to an actual character (besides endlessly brooding Thorin) is with Kili (Aidan Turner), who strikes up a relationship with Tauriel, the MVP of Desolation of Smaug.
Lilly's performance as Tauriel is a welcome jolt of both femininity and variety to the series, and the actress doesn't try to make the character "kick-ass", showing an understanding of what a strong female character really is. Another highlight is Lee Pace as Thranduil, which is imbued with a gleeful mix of ethereal grace and pure terror. Freeman is still on point as Bilbo, but again he gets lost in the shuffle of too many protagonists.
Jackson does manage to pull off a few top-notch set pieces here, and while the barrel sequence is fun, the early spider sequence is wonderfully scary, bringing to mind Jackson's early work in the horror genre. The Desolation of Smaug is at its best when it looks like the actors are on actual sets, but far too often Jackson opts for CG-assisted acrobatics over practical stuntwork, turning his actors into animated characters. As a result, the characters look more at home in a Pixar movie than Middle-earth.
All of the Lord of the Rings-tinged scenes involving Gandalf's side-quest to Dol Guldur are excellent, and the extended confrontation between Bilbo and Smaug (voiced by Benedict Cumberbatch) is thrilling, but by this point Jackson has been meandering around the inner politics of Lake-Town and other subplots for so long that we're ready for the movie to just be over. The bloat of the film is most apparent when, just as Bilbo and the dwarves have arrived at the door of their destination, Jackson opts to extended the sequence of them looking for a keyhole just because.
And yet, thanks to intriguing new characters like Tauriel, the fascinating execution of Smaug, and a couple of swell set pieces, The Desolation of Smaug is a more enjoyable experience than An Unexpected Journey. The film even improved for me on a second viewing, though that could have been simply because I was able to hit "pause" and didn't feel the length quite as much. The Hobbit series is still a far cry from The Lord of the Rings and is likely unable to touch the emotional investment of that initial trilogy, but The Desolation of Smaug marks a slight improvement over An Unexpected Journey. Here's hoping that trend continues with the third installment.
The HD transfer of the film on Blu-ray is solid, but the CG divide is still quite evident in scenes where human characters are surrounded by green screen and/or interacting with CG characters. Nevertheless, the colors and contrast are great. As for the audio, the DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1 track is magnificent. Howard Shore's score (also an improvement over An Unexpected Journey) soars and the sound mixing is incredible.
Obviously an Extended Edition of The Desolation of Smaug will arrive later this year packed with more bonus features, but this initial Blu-ray release isn't just bare bones. There are some interesting, if not in-depth, features to be found.
- Peter Jackson Invites You to Set (41 Minutes) – A two-part behind-the-scenes feature that runs down a typical day on set. Jackson, cast, and crew all participate in the feature, which takes a fly-on-the-wall approach to the daily routine on the set of The Hobbit. It's not incredibly involving, and it only encompasses the initial block of filming, but it does make you appreciate just how hard everyone on the crew worked to bring the films to fruition.
- Production Videos (37 Minutes) – A collection of the four Desolation of Smaug production videos that Jackson posted online in the lead-up to the film's release. They offer a more intimate look behind-the-scenes, as Jackson is essentially the guide throughout each of them.
- Live Event: In the Cutting Room (38 Minutes) – A version of the live fan event that was broadcast in anticipation of the film's release, which is basically a cross-country Q&A with Jackson and certain cast members. More promotional and surface-level than enlightening.
- New Zealand: Home of Middle-earth Part 2 (7 Minutes) – A short featurette that focuses on the location work of the film. It's particularly disappointing to see just how many gorgeous locations were used and then painted over by CG.
- Music Video (2 Minutes) – The "I See Fire" music video by Ed Sheeran.
Final Thoughts
If you're a Hobbit die-hard and are planning on picking up the Extended Edition Blu-ray later this year, there's no reason to double-dip on this initial copy. However, if you don't care about the extra footage or features, Warner Bros. has done a nice job of ensuring that this release isn't bare-bones and includes at least some kind of substantial bonus features.

Blu-ray: B+

Prescription testosterone supplements have recently been linked to blood clot injuries including pulmonary embolism (PE), deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and venous thromboembolism (VTE). These clots occur when blood fails to circulate adequately, and can be life-threatening if they are not treated immediately. This article discusses the symptoms associated with a testosterone-induced blood clot.
Free Testosterone Blood Clot Lawsuit Evaluation: If you or a loved one suffered a blood clot after taking a testosterone supplement, you should contact our law firm immediately. You may be entitled to compensation by filing a suit against the manufacturer of the testosterone booster and we can help.
What are the Symptoms of a Testosterone Blood Clot?
Symptoms of a blood clot depend on where the anomaly develops. If, for example, a clot develops in the heart or lungs, symptoms may include chest pain, shortness of breath, and pain in the arms, back, neck, or jaw. These symptoms may indicate a heart attack or pulmonary embolism (PE).
Signs of a blood clot occurring in the deep veins of the leg may include pain, redness, warmth, and swelling in the lower leg. These symptoms may suggest the presence of a deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
If a blood clot develops in the brain, signs and symptoms may include headache, speech changes, paralysis, dizziness, and trouble speaking or understanding speech. These symptoms may accompany a stroke.
If you have any of the symptoms of a heart attack, stroke or pulmonary embolism, call 9–1–1 immediately. If you have symptoms of deep vein thrombosis, contact your physician right away. The cause of the clot needs to be identified and treated as soon as possible.
Can I File a Testosterone Blood Clot Lawsuit?
Only a qualified attorney can determine whether you are eligible to file a Testosterone Lawsuit, which is why we are currently offering free case evaluations. Simply fill out the confidential evaluation form below to contact our law firm now.
Most cases involving pharmaceuticals allege that a drug was sold with design, manufacturing, and/or marketing defects, which typically refers to a company's failure to warn of a certain side effect. In the case of testosterone supplements, our attorneys suspect that patients may be able to take legal action in light of claims that manufacturers failed to adequately warn doctors and patients about the risk of blood clot.
How Can Filing a Lawsuit Help Me?
By filing a lawsuit against the maker of a testosterone replacement therapy product, you may be entitled to collect compensation for all current and future medical expenses related to the treatment of your blood clot, as well as for damages for pain and suffering. Additionally, filing a lawsuit can help hold the drug's manufacturer accountable for releasing an allegedly defective drug into the marketplace, and to discourage other pharmaceutical companies from engaging in similar conduct.
Do I have a Testosterone Blood Clot Lawsuit?
The Product Liability & Defective Drug Litigation Group at our law firm is an experienced team of trial lawyers that focus on the representation of plaintiffs in Testosterone lawsuits. We are handling individual litigation nationwide and currently accepting new Testosterone blood clot cases in all 50 states.

Noob question... What do you use in attaching the motherboard to the wood deck? Do you use insulator between mb and wood, or just set it in between your brackets, or...?
Do I need to be squeamish about underside of mb contacting anything without using an atx grid of screw holes?
Paz last edited by
@sir4taye, I used the plastic motherboard risers that just pop into the mobo holes. the wood bits were glued down and i applied masking tape on the corner to hold them in place. the wood glue is "Gorrilla Glue" which is stronger wood glue than normal and dries really fast. i ran the rig for a few weeks with the mobo just sitting on the wood with no risers, no nothing.
Yes. you should be careful that the mobo does not contact anything which can conduct electricity. Wood is pretty dead, but I put the risers on to reduce even static charge as much as possible.

Every week during the season, we'll scout out the Eagles next opponent. This week, that opponent is the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The Opponent: The Jacksonville Jaguars, aka the Jags, aka the Jagwires, aka the Los Angeles Day Laborers (circa 2012)
Record: 1-1
The Line: Eagles by 3.5. Again, the Eagles are road favorites going up against a supposedly bad team. They failed to cover last week.
Last Game: A 38-13 beatdown courtesy of the Chargers, who breezed through the Jags as if they weren't even there. Quarterback David Garrard, who looked so good in the team's 24-17 opening week win over Denver, got picked off four times and was eventually benched for Luke McCown. LUKE MCCOWN! Oh, that's not good at all.
The Coach: Jack Del Rio, aka Eddie Money. This is Del Rio's last season in Jacksonville. He doesn't know that yet, so shhhhhhhh! I'd hate to spoil the surprise.
The Offense: It's hard to figure out which Garrard will show up on Sunday: the one who looked so good in the opener, or the one who went to pieces last week. In his best season (2007), Garrard was a highly efficient passer who seemed on the verge of breaking out. But it's three years later and he still has yet to make that leap. Mike Sims-Walker is a dangerous threat downfield, and you know all about Maurice Jones-Drew. Given how the Eagles fared against the Lions offense last week, I think it's safe to say the Jags can do some damage.
The Defense: Aaron Kampman was stolen away from Green Bay and looks very much like his old pass rushing self. It'll be the job of the Eagles' o-line, which hasn't been very good thus far, to keep him away from Kevin Kolb, lest Kolb be concussed again and give way to Michael Vick. Yes, that would be tragic. I guess. Kind of.
Key Matchup: Sims-Walker vs. Asante Samuel. Shut down Sims-Walker, and you've basically shutdown the Jaguars passing game. They're considerate like that.
Out Of The Nest: Eagles at Jaguars
Every week during the season, we'll scout out the Eagles next opponent. This week, that opponent is the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Marketing to Teens: It's a Mobile and Social World
In case you haven't heard, today's teens — also known as Gen Z — are kind of a big deal!
These digital natives now represent 22 percent of the U.S. population, and by 2020, they'll make up 40 percent of all consumers. They still live in their parents' homes, but their smartphones and tablets are their 'own world.' Here at Refuel Agency, we know there's nothing they can't — and don't — do on these devices. They'd use Uber or Lyft way before hailing a taxi, and Venmo means they never have to carry cash. Everything they need to know about their friends and the outside world, they learn from social media.
And when it comes to marketing to teens for mobile and social, what's "in" changes at lightning speed. As soon as the newest iPhone comes out, the one before it is obsolete. Snapchat stories are the new Facebook feeds — and they're filled with selfies and flower crowns. (Cue Instagram launching a copycat to try to keep up.)
What does all this mean for marketers? Without question, brands need to put mobile and social first when targeting this younger generation. And they need to be thinking about what's next on these platforms even before it's here. Thankfully, that's where Refuel can help. As a full-service digital agency, we will plan, execute, measure and optimize your Gen Z campaigns from start to finish.
Keeping up with marketing to teens won't be easy, but research from Refuel Agency's Gen Z Digital ExplorerTM Study proves that it will be worth it. Here are just a few of the key facts from the largest annual custom digital media study of this consumer group.
- Teens spend 6.3 hours a day on their smartphones and 1.9 hours per day on their tablets
- 59% of teens have been driven to take action of some sort after seeing mobile media
- 34% of teens have researched a product as a result of seeing mobile media
- 22% of teens have purchased a product as a result of seeing mobile media
- 47% are somewhat/very likely to consider a brand or service if their favorite blogger or YouTuber recommended it
This new generation has made one thing clear: they make their own rules. It may not be easy to anticipate their ever-changing needs, but these numbers are evidence that there is reward in adjusting your marketing to teen strategy to woo them. And today, that means meeting them on their phones and social media.
To get a full understanding of marketing to teens including spending habits, technology ownership, media consumption, and lifestyles to help inform your marketing strategy, request your copy of the Refuel Agency Gen Z Digital ExplorerTM Research Study.

If you are struggling to try to get away from debt, there are many solutions readily available for you. As the saying will go, knowledge is power. Adhere to these steps on your road in order to become debt free.
These loan products are very easy to fix all your problems- view publisher site > no credit check installment loans. Ninety-day installment loans direct lenders credit rating is a new method where the loan is definitely granted even to those individuals who have low credit scores.
The quantity you get from ^%^ online payday loans no credit check o(^▽^)o can be used to get meeting certain temporary needs like exam expenses, house maintain expenses, bank overdraft, monthly installment, automobile breakdown, electricity bill as well as other due bills.
Board, Dennis started an online research and one of the sites this individual visited, highly recommended that he take a look at getting debt help by causing an appointment with financial counseling definition Solutions. It was a decision both this individual and his wife are impressed by to this day.
Check progress operations are springing upward across the nation and may become one of the fastest growing industrial sectors we have. The former owners associated with Blockbuster Videos sold their own successful corporation to reinvest in their first pay improve operation. That was 3 years back. There are now 1500 offices which are just one conglomerate. A business development like this does not occur without having phenomenal profit potential. I might consider a 200%, 300%, or even 400% APR a sizable possible profit, wouldn't you?
Contact your creditors to find out about arranging an alternate transaction plan. Many will be ready to work with you. Your local section of a non-profit credit counseling online plan may be able to help in setting this particular up.
When I asked our attorney how I could spend her without any money, the girl told me I would think of a means. So how did I obtain money I didn't have got? Though I hate in order to admit it, I lent the money I needed from of the credit cards I was declaring in the bankruptcy. I'm not actually advocating using this method to state bankruptcy, but nobody got money to lend myself for the attorney, because everyone kept lending me cash to help pay my expenses. The attorney refused to operate pro bono for me and our debt was so abysmal, I knew I would ultimately lose everything I possessed, including the mobile home by which I was raising my kids, if I didn't claim personal bankruptcy. Today people in my scenario have more options.
A borrower that meets all these situations can gain quick online loans for bad credit – read the News! and resources that a borrower may obtain the loans depend on upon the paycheck amount. It lies in kids of $100-$1500. Nevertheless one can borrow more if he/she gets a good paycheck. Generating application for this system is not a tough job at all. All the digesting will be done on the net. From applying to paying, you can do with the comfort and ease of your home. To make use, you just need to spend that same day in front of your computer plus rest will be created by a lender. Maximum period that a bank usually takes to transfer personal loan amount is twenty-four hours. Within a single day time of application, mortgage amount will be shifted in your checking bank account.
In case your creditors are unreasonable plus refuse to work with you individually then another choice you might have is to contact a nonprofit credit counseling agency company. Here you can get the aid of a professional to work with your creditors. Considering that this is all they do, they will know far better how to handle the creditor than you do. They might be able to either get you an alternative payment plan or perhaps be capable of getting the creditor to reduce your own interest rates.
The particular banks look upon this particular as the last resort since the consumer could not or may not pay their bills. The particular CCCS routinely negotiates obligations according to your cash flow. Hardly ever do they negotiate conditions regarding entries. Their objective is to keep you functioning to pay the bills so that personal bankruptcy is forestalled. Hence the particular creditors continue to get cash from those unfortunates which have no way to seek relief.
How Long Does It Get For Consumer Credit Counseling To assist a Person? – Once an individual becomes a client, the first step will be negotiating with the creditors. This technique is streamlined due to the interactions CCCS has established with different creditors. Very few lenders can decline to negotiate using the certified counselors at CCCS. Once that hurdle continues to be successfully negotiated, the client may then began a repayment program they are able to afford. On average it requires them approximately four yrs to pay off their debts. Nevertheless, it is not uncommon for people to finish their plans and be financial debt free much sooner. Through this debt help path, you can avoid bankruptcy but still stop the debt collectors from calling.

My official Baselworld stats: 15 hours of flying roundtrip New York to Zurich; three 14-hour days at the trade fair; two hours of commuting from Zurich to Basel each day; 47 individual watch brand appointments; three lunchtime street sausages; 12 Coke Zeros; 63 business cards given out; 24 USB press kits collected; and more than 1,900 iPhone photographs taken.
Good lord, what to make of it all? After letting all this collected data sink in for the past couple days, some thoughts about the world's top watch and jewellery show are starting to become clear. I'm usually pretty objective when it comes to reporting on watches, not letting my own personal taste influence my coverage of what might be this year's most important and newsworthy timepieces. Yet somehow Baselworld 2016 felt different. A stiff breeze of reality seems to have blown through the Messeplatz, with key words like "quality," "value," and "wearability" mentioned at almost every appointment.
I often get asked for personal watch recommendations and realised what I often write about and what I recommend to friends are usually quite different. So, this post is a fresh way of looking at the show. For the regular watch-buyer out there who might be thinking about taking a leap into higher end horology, this is what I loved. The highlights this year are the watches that I keep coming back to: my personal favourites, the watches that I would like to wear myself. Yes, there are many amazing horological inventions and dazzling high- jewellery watches to dream about (see my last post). But, at the end of the day, what would I actually like to see on my wrist? Here are eight timepieces that fit the bill.
Longines Railroad (RM7,230)*
Nomos Tetra Neomatik (RM16,534)*
Using the company's own super-thin movement, the distinctive square shape of the Nomos Tetra returns this year in a slightly larger 33MM case. Bigger than original version, guys might find the new Tetra a bit more wearable with either a white silver-plated dial or this handsome deep navy one. Plus, the unique square shape is just so damn cool—which is to be expected from a brand that takes aesthetics as seriously as its own innovative movements.
Omega Speedmaster CK2998 Limited Edition (RM26,085)*
A limited edition based on a classic, the CK2998 keeps many of the details of the original, updated for this year in an eye-catching, blue-and-white colour combination. An iconic watch style proven to stand the test of time? I'm sold.
Rolex Air King (RM24,881)*
Seiko Presage With Black Lacquer Dial (RM10,434)*
Celebrating the 60th anniversary of Seiko's first automatic wristwatch, two new Presage automatic chronographs have been introduced, one with a white enamel dial, the other in handsome black lacquer. You get a lot of watch here for the money—a very attractive timepiece with great history, made in a limited edition of just 1,000 pieces.
Tudor Black Bay 36 With Steel Bracelet (RM11,437)*
The most instantly desirable watch of the show, the Tudor Black Bay 36 on a steel bracelet (plus bonus camouflage strap) was the watch I immediately wanted on my wrist. The 36MM case size is perfect for smaller wrists, and the simple, sporty dial gets my vote as the watch you put on once and never take off ever again.
Zenith Elite 6150 With Blue Dial (RM26,888)*
The retro appeal and the super-clean lines make the Zenith Elite 6150 a very attractive and versatile watch. This year Zenith updates the vintage look of the timepiece with a modern blue dial. It's a simply beautiful watch, and you can get a lot of wear out of, be it at the office or out on the weekend.
Shinola The Canfield Chronograph (RM3,411)*

NCLA and Glamour prove that fashion can give back. The new nail wrap collection offers fashionable designs that help a good cause. Find out more!
It's nail wrap mania! After the Melody Ehsani x
NCLA collaboration, it's Glamour's turn to bring new
alternatives to the table for fashion enthusiasts who are looking
for an easy way to stand out this year. But the new nail wrap
collection isn't only a wonderful set of fashionable options that
can make your nails the center of attention but also a great way to
make a difference. The new collection supports Girls Who Code, a
nonprofit organization that helps girls pursue careers in fields
like engineering and technology. Getting on trend manis and helping
a great cause? Sounds like a score to us!
Don't have big bucks to shell out for on trend designer pieces? How about wearing them on your nails instead? A much more affordable and discreet option that doesn't require as much effort and commitment and that can deliver similar results is much more doable. The four exclusive nail stickers have taken some of the finest style elements from the resort collections of well known names from the fashion industry: 10 Crosby Derek Lam, Bibhu Mohapatra, L'Wren Scott and Peter Som. The inclination towards abstract themes is once again in the spotlight, eliminating any doubt whatsoever as far as what the hottest style elements for the season are.
If you're just getting started with the new trend, you don't
have to worry that you'll have to go through a steep learning curve
all by yourself. The label breaks the entire process down to 5
easy, non-intimidating steps and also provides a helpful video
tutorial that can further clarify any other issues you might be
having with the process.
If you're craving any of these spectacular new offerings, we advise you to act as fast as possible. Remember, these are limited edition offerings and are already available. Each nail wrap retails for $16. $5 out of each nail kit purchase goes to help the Girls Who Code cause. The NCLA label is offering complimentary shipping for any US order over $50.

My husband and I have always tried to teach the importance of roots; the knowledge of family history, and age-old traditions. These are important to all of us. When I found out what was on my son's mind, today, I couldn't have been more pleased.
I have always held many fond memories about the ranch my paternal grandparent's owned when I was a child growing up, and I have always loved to share those stories.
And so it was especially heartwarming on this spring day, to learn the ranch was on my son's mind.
Grandpa had 80 acres in the northern most county of our state. It was just a small farm, by ranching standards, but to me it was enormous; and as a child, I loved every square inch of it. It sat at the base of
and to me that mountain was the most beautiful mountain in the whole world. It was
heavily forested and presented a perfect back drop to this serene setting. Black Mountain
This afternoon, we decided to take a trip north, to see what has changed since the last time we were there. We have, over the years, done many drive-bys, just for nostalgia sake. And I know the changes are huge, but I never seem to remember what it has become; I only remember what it once was. So it was on this trip, I was surprised, as well as disappointed in the changes.
Of course our trip brought up many memories and stories that simply had to be shared with Matt, even if he had heard them before. I also, decided, I would write down a few of these memories of the most beautiful place on earth, before they are completely forgotten.
I have written about the ranch before, in a blog post about haying. You can read it here, It is an extremely fun memory for me. Today I was able to point out the exact spot I speak of in that post - the place where I was hot and thirsty and longed to go back to the house…the place I remember making my grandpa just a bit angry.
The house was two stories - actually 3, if you count the basement. I loved each level and I have memories of each. The basement stairs! I dream about them sometimes…not sure why. But what I really loved were the stairs that led to the second floor. I loved climbing up those stairs to go to bed at night when we would spend time at Grandma and Grandpa's. The ceiling light cast shadows on the wall as I climbed, and I would always sing, "Just me and my shaaaaadow…". That song, I believe was from an old movie…I don't know for sure, but with a quick "google" I see it was recorded in 1958 by the Mills Brothers, as well as Judy Garland, Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis, Jr. I am not sure which version I would have known. Anyway, once upstairs, Grandma's guest bed would be the most comfortable bed anywhere! (Well, I felt the same way about my maternal grandma's bed, too.) Soft, cool, clean sheets, feather pillows, and homemade quilts! Can you say heaven??? I had the best night's sleep ever, each time we stayed at Grandma's.
Grandma would always call "Rise and Shine!" when it was time to get up in the mornings. I remember being disappointed that I never heard her call. Everyone else would hear before me, and it would be their scurrying to get downstairs that woke me. I remember one morning, Grandma made an extra special effort so that I would hear. "Rise and Shine!" she called to me from the stairway.
I remember sitting around the breakfast table. How I loved that table as it was set in a little nook, with bay windows all around. There was a little corner shelf that fit at an angle snug in the corner, and there sat the cookie jar, which was a favorite of mine as a kid and still a favorite today. It was a light brown, milk cow, who I believe we named Molly. My sister has the jar today. But what I loved best about breakfast was Grandma's homemade syrup! Warm and not too sweet, served in little syrup pitchers with a silver lid and handle. I have no recollection as to whether it was served on pancakes, waffles, or French toast; or all of the above, I just remember I loved that syrup!
I remember taking bubble baths in the large, comfortable bathroom. Grandma always had little individual packets of floral scented bubble baths to choose from. I almost always chose Gardenia. I loved that. She had a shelf in the bathroom that we were able to lift and drop our towels down to the laundry in the basement below. That was about the coolest thing in the whole world to me.
My brother and sisters and I would run in circles through the house which I am sure was not too popular, but the main floor had the perfect circle from the kitchen to Grandma and Grandpa's bedroom through their double doors (I think they were called French doors) into the living room and back into the kitchen. Round and round we went, until an adult finally stopped us. The living room was so comfortable, with beautiful views, and a front door that went out onto a lovely porch. I loved to go out there, but it wasn't used very much as the back door was the easiest entrance to and from the barn and fields.
Grandpa's barn!! A kid's paradise! Oh the exploring we would do! And of course the hay loft was about tops! We spent many an hour, jumping from the loft into stacks of loose hay below. I imagine when Grandpa found out it didn't make him too happy.
I loved to watch him milk the cows and just hang out around the barn with him. We would sneak corners off the salt-lick blocks intended for the cows that in our view hadn't yet got dirty, so they were just fine for us to have a taste. To a kid, those salt blocks are as good as candy! Let's just say I know why animals like them so much. Sshhhhhhhh; don't tell anyone, I did that!
I loved Grandma's hen house, the watering troughs, the wooden corrals and fences. Grandpa had built a wooden style that went over one of the fences into the orchard. I loved to go there, just to be able to walk over the style.
Probably the best place of all was what my siblings and I called "the swamp". It was at the far end of the acreage, and there were beautiful birch or aspen trees growing there. The ground was low, and of course water gathered there, and I don't think it ever dried out. There were paths around the swamp and my brother and I loved to play there, singing "Swamp Fox, Swamp Fox!" I don't remember the rest of the words that we sang, but I believe the song was from an old Disney movie.
Snowy roads as we travelled the country roads, singing "When the Roll is Called Up Yonder" until we reached our destination; a not too near "neighbor" girl feeding a fawn by hand – leading it out to the center of the lawn so that we could more easily see from where my dad had stopped the car; Grandma's molasses cookies always on the table – Mrs. Baxter's recipe. I have memory after memory like this, but I know this post is getting long, so I will stop for now, but I hope never to forget.
One more memory, though, before I end this post. It would have been about 1979 or 1980, when my cousin and I decided we needed to take my Grandma up to visit the ranch to rekindle precious memories. My grandpa had already passed away, I believe, so it may have been a bit later than 1980, but somewhere around that time, we took Grandma up to see the ranch that they had sold a number of years earlier. I will never forget her excitement that day. She could not have been more thrilled to visit her old home. The people that lived there, graciously allowed us to come in to see the changes they had made (none of them good ;-( in my opinion) but I will never forget how happy my grandma was that day. We took a photo of her, and her excitement is revealed in that old photo. We also took a photo of Grandma, me and my cousin in front of the old willow tree. That willow tree has starts that were taken for a number of our homes. My folks have a start from that tree and each of my sisters, also have a tree in their yards from this one at the ranch. I reminded Matthew that this year, for sure, we must get a start for ourselves.
I'm glad this came up out of the blue, today. Our drive was pleasant in spite of the rain. The old ranch is not the same, but my heart skipped a beat when we rounded the corner and it came into view. The mountain is as beautiful as ever, with little encroachment. The ranch, however, has been subdivided into at least 5 lots, and none of them are kept up well. Age has not been kind to the property my grandparents loved and cared for; but Memory made her appearance today and stories of Swamp Fox, haylofts; homemade syrup; and the furthest corner from home, were awakened once again.
Hey, Memory! Rise and Shine!!
Hey, Memory! Rise and Shine!!

Synopsis for "Post-Crisis"
Flash and Linda Park kiss for the first time in a month since they disconnected a month ago. Linda tells Wally she never meant on leaving, she just needed to clear her heard to know what was right and what was a lie in her head. She admits she likes the secret identity as her parents think he's just a blue-collar Keystone Kid.
A storm hits Keystone City, as Weather Wizard is upset and sad about the funeral and loss of his friend, Digger Harkness. Owen Mercer shows off in front of all the Rogues and throws a boomerang through the coffin showing it's empty. He reveals his super-speed by zipping around to catch a thrown boomerang and the Rogues question if he is a speedster.
At Iron Heights, Cheetah stops by Professor Zoom's holding cell and tells him he's playing possum. She can hear his heartbeat and knows he's ok. Zoom responds and smiles.
The Rogues go on a riot and looting rampage with boomerangs as homage to Digger Harkness.
Batman approaches Wally when he's at work and tells him he needs to take care of his 'Rogues' since Boomerang was able to kill Jack Drake.[1] Wally tells him it's not as easy as he makes it sound and belittles Batman's villains. He tells Batman to tell Tim Drake what he told Dick Grayson when he left for the Teen Titans. Wally says Batman only said it once, but it meant the world to Dick.
Owen considers joining the Rogues but says he needs a favor first before joining.
James Jesse and Pied Piper discuss not going to the funeral. James says that they have to follow orders. He says, "they want the Rogues' taken down for good" as he turns to look at the body of Captain Boomerang hooked up to machinery and performing some type of operation on his brain.

This story appears in the December 10, 2012 issue of Forbes. Subscribe
WHICH OBAMA WILL America and the world get now? Will the President preside as a left-wing "progressive" in the style of FDR? Or will he govern as a centrist in the manner of JFK and Bill Clinton?
That's the traditional political way of looking at Obama's choices. But there's a more useful way for entrepreneurs and investors to assess Obama 2.0. We should ask whether Obama will be pro-future or pro-past.
Back in the 1990s the pundit Virginia Postrel (then editor of Reason magazine, the libertarian journal) wrote a book called The Future and Its Enemies (Free Press, 1998). It defined two philosophies of political and economic governance in a technological age.
One philosophy was of a dynamic future that embraces change and growth but is hard to predict. Postrel called this the "dynamist" viewpoint. The other philosophy says change makes people insecure and governments unstable. Therefore, change must be managed, even at the expense of growth and dynamism. This, said Postrel, is a "stasist" outlook. Her root word is "stasis"—one letter removed from a supporter of big government, a statist. In the real world stasists need the help of statists to tamp down dynamism.
Like all larger-than-life politicians, Obama is a Rorschach test: His fans see what they want to see in the man. The liberal dynamists in Silicon Valley, Hollywood, Seattle, Boston and Manhattan see Obama as one of their own—intelligent and creative, a man who embraces the future. But the same is true of the stasists who dominate private- and public-sector unions, green lobbies and government-funded community organizations. These groups don't like dynamic risk; they much prefer security. Yet they embrace Obama and see him as a kindred spirit, as much as do the dynamists in Silicon Valley and Hollywood.
How should Republicans work with Obama 2.0? The most useful role would be to do everything they can to make sure the dynamists prevail over the stasists in Obama's second Administration. Here are some of the key questions that will pit dynamists against stasists.
• What are the best tax, regulatory and monetary policies to encourage dynamic innovation?
• How should patent and copyright law be changed so that they don't favor the deepest pockets, thereby ensuring stasis?
• How can we bring a Silicon Valley pace of dynamism to health care? The Apple iPad Mini and the Microsoft Surface each start at under $500, yet offer tens of thousands of dollars in 1990s-vintage computer and networking capability. How can we get the same price-performance curve in health care?
• What kind of education system will best equip young people to embrace and thrive in a thrilling but uncertain future?
• How can we reform immigration so that the U.S. is once again the recruiting magnet for the world's most dynamic people?
• What can the Obama Administration and Congress do to encourage dynamism in the economy's older sectors? Innovation in software, the Internet and financial algorithms is one thing—these are largely unregulated fields with low capital costs. But innovation in energy, transportation, health care and education has suffered too much stasis because of higher capital costs and regulatory burdens.
• How can dynamists win the public debate and the Washington-insider game? The forces of stasis—private and public unions, environmentalists and lobbyists for every sort of entitlement—are well organized. The dynamists are a potentially larger group but are loosely scattered and focused on other matters besides policy.
If the dynamists don't come together, the stasists will win the day (and forfeit our future).
