British Columbia Masters in School Psychology on Campus Programs
Are you ready to earn your Masters in School Psychology on Campus? Looking for campus-based master's programs in school psychology? School psychologists play an important role in education, responsible for identification and testing of students for learning disabilities and other exceptional needs, helping to develop IEPs and behavioral plans, facilitating the cooperation of teachers and caretakers for the success of students, conducting interventions, as well as other roles integral to maintaining a healthy, productive learning environment. Many school psychologists may seek a master's degree or higher distinction in order to jumpstart or enhance their careers.
Basics of Choosing Your Perfect Masters in School Psychology on Campus Program
If you are interested in pursuing a career in school psychology, earning your Masters in School Psychology on Campus may be a positive decision to support those goals. Depending on where you live, master's level education or higher may be a requirement for licensure or employment. Earning a master of school psychology may also carry other benefits, deepening your expertise in your field and offering you the opportunity to pursue a concentration of interest even beyond the master's level.
Choosing to earn your Masters in School Psychology on Campus degree also may have unique benefits. Traditional programs on brick-and-mortar campuses allow students to take advantage of opportunities unique to that setting. You may feel like an integral part of the local campus community, taking advantage of valuable networking and social opportunities with faculty and peers. You may be able to interact with your professors one on one, as well as collaborating with your fellow classmates and engaging in lively debate in the classroom. Additionally, you may have access to valuable campus resources, including facilities
like gyms, libraries, and technology labs, as well as services like academic and career planning support.
However, even once you've decided to look for an on-campus school psychology master's program, how do you know which is the right choice for you? Here are a few factors to consider when making that choice:
What is your preferred school psychology master's program campus location?
Whether you're a working professional who needs a convenient local option, or whether you want to use your education as an opportunity to explore new and exciting places, you may be able to find your perfect fit. If you need to attend a program easily commutable from work and home, you may wish to restrict your search to a convenient radius. If you're open to more locations than your current one, here are a few other things to consider:
- Do you have a particular city or region in mind?
- Is the campus urban, suburban, or rural?
- Do you require convenient housing options?
- Is cost of living a factor?
- What other resources do you need to be available on campus?
Keeping these questions in mind may help you to narrow down your selections when considering campus-based options for earning your master's in school psychology.
What are your goals and interests related to earning a master in school psychology?
While this may seem like an obvious question, clarifying exactly what your goals are for earning your school psychology master's degree may help you to narrow the field of options to those that may better support you in these endeavors.
For example, if you want to go on from your master's to earn your Ph.D. and possibly get involved in research, you may wish to find a master's program with an emphasis on theory and research, opportunities for guided, hands-on research experience, and a thesis requirement. If you are launching a new career, you may prefer a program with professional, real-world observation or a practicum or internship element, so that you are able to see and utilize your knowledge in a real-world setting.
Similarly, many school psychologists may concentrate on a specific subject area within their field. If you have a specific interest, for example if you work with or would like to work in a specific age range, disability type, behavioral, or other concentration area, you may prefer a program that focuses or allows you to focus your studies around this interest. If you are interested in research in these areas, you may prefer to study under faculty who research in those or similar areas.
What is your preferred training model?
Many psychology programs, including school psychology programs, may adhere to any of several different training models, which reflect the priorities and approach of that program to the material. Sometimes referred to as scientist-practitioner, practitioner-scholar, etc, these orientations may affect the subject matter and how it is covered within a given program, such as whether the program is scientific and research-oriented, or focused on clinical practice and real world application. Depending on your learning style or your academic or professional goals, you may find that you prefer a specific model or style.
Types of On-Campus School Psychology Master's Programs Available
If you are getting ready to start applying for Masters in School Psychology on Campus programs, you may find yourself having to choose between any of several different types of master's degrees. While each of these school psychology master's degree types may share many similarities, understanding the basic definitions and differences of each may help you to identify which may be the ideal match for you.
- M.A. and M.S. programs in school psychology may be the most recognizable and frequently offered. These programs may often share many commonalities, and the differences between them may vary by program and institution. If you find yourself considering an institution offering both of these options, one important differentiator to look at is which program includes a research or thesis requirement. If you intend to pursue further study at the doctorate level, completing a master's thesis may be a valuable asset for you.
- M.Ed. programs may often be offered by schools of education, and as such, the perspective and approach taken by these programs to school psychology may be oriented toward education, and the science behind learning.
In addition to typical master's programs listed above, you may often find specialist degrees listed alongside or offered continuously with master's programs. Specialist degrees offer the opportunity for those who have earned or are earning (in the case of continuous programs) a school psychology master's degree to pursue a specific concentration area beyond the master's level.
These specialist degrees may be Ed.S. (Educational Specialist), Psy.S. (Psychology Specialist), and SSP (Specialist of School Psychology). While the particular differences between each of these programs may vary by concentration area, in general, the Ed.S. may be more education-oriented whereas Psy.S. and SSP may be more focused on the practitioner of psychology.

The Court Yard Hounds open their second album, "Amelita," with a portrait of a friend who wallows in negativity. But the arrangement and lyrics of "Sunshine" express how this sisterly duo isn't going to let their downer friend dampen their day.
The breezy, buoyantly melodic song is a perfect introduction to a collection of songs that find two members of the Dixie Chicks expressing joy in music once again - a drastic shift from their self-titled first album and from the dark musings found on the recent solo debut of their longtime singing partner, Natalie Maines.
Sisters Emily Robison and Martie Maguire keep on the sunny side for most of "Amelita," concocting a distinct acoustic blend rife with life-affirming energy and clever, engaging lyrics to match. Robison sounds more confident as a lead vocalist. And the writing of the two sisters, sometimes with guitarist Martin Strayer, Robison's recently wed husband, takes on a shine reminiscent of the blissful elation of early Chicks hits such as "Wide Open Spaces."
They occasionally bring rock swagger to their acoustic sound, as in the wonderful "Rock All Night," about the excitement of the moments leading up to attending an eagerly anticipated concert. Similarly, the aggressive, multi-layered "Phoebe" features a fiery arrangement highlighted by a wicked fiddle solo by Maguire.
In the song "The World Smiles," the sisters say they are determined to put the blues behind them. "Amelita" implies that, musically at least, these former country stars have a spring back in their step - and their infectious way of conveying it will lighten the souls, and soles, of listeners, too.

Maybe credit unions should avoid words that begin with D.
The industry has worked to increase its clout in Washington and made some progress.
Its trade associations were invited to testify on a bill aimed at providing regulatory relief to banks. That follows hearings in both the House and Senate on the industry's top legislative priority of raising the cap on member business lending.
Then came Carla Decker and CUNA's data backtrack.
At press time, Decker's nomination to succeed NCUA Board Member Gigi Hyland was in limbo.
Appointments to low-profile regulatory boards are usually routine. Of course, the difficulties of Decker, the president/CEO of the District Government Employees FCU, have not been of a prurient nature.
Rather, they've originated from the fact that her credit union had serious financial difficulties during the recession and the NCUA criticized some of her shortcomings as a manager.
When the Senate Banking Committee got wind of these problems, in part because of a report in Credit Union Times, it slowed down her nomination and didn't include her in a confirmation hearing it held earlier this month for several nominees to financial regulatory boards.
Since then, neither the Obama administration nor the Senate Banking Committee has commented on the status of her nomination. Unfortunately for Decker, the Obama administration is following the practice of its predecessors and not letting its nominees make public comments before their confirmation hearing.
Decker, who has been strongly supported by industry groups such as the National Federation of Community Credit Unions (of which her credit union is a member), might still wind up on the NCUA board. But even if the Senate eventually approves Decker, the roadblocks to what many expected would be a smooth path to confirmation amount to a chink in the industry's armor. Contrast Decker's bumpy path to the NCUA board with that of Thomas Hoenig, whom President Obama nominated (on the same October day as he named Decker) to be vice chairman of the FDIC.
Hoenig, a career regulator who was president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, has sailed through the confirmation process even though he is Republican facing a Democratic-controlled Senate. His hearing before the Senate Banking Committee was characterized by bipartisan praise for his qualifications and the panel approved the nomination on Dec. 13 and sent it to the full Senate.
While Decker's difficulties are mostly of interest to those who follow Washington policymaking, CUNA's revision of its data on the number of new credit union members has received national attention.
With great fanfare, the trade association announced two days before Bank Transfer Day that credit unions had, had a net increase of 650,000 new members in the previous month.
That number drove much of the print and broadcast media coverage during the next few days and satisfied journalists' perennial desire to quantify trends whenever possible.
While some people were skeptical of the number, no one was able to produce data to refute it.
To its credit, when CUNA realized the error it made (which it attributed to faulty survey design), the association quickly acknowledged it during its weekly media conference call. However, once the initial reports of the revised data (the actual number of new members turned out to be 214,000) were posted on CUTimes.com, the American Bankers Association made it a point of highlighting the mistake to other journalists.
As a result, this stretched into a multi-day story that was picked up by several national publications, including the website of Time magazine.
To be sure, the negative publicity did not do irreparable damage. However, it took some of the glow off of the effective media campaigns that the credit union industry executed before, during and after Bank Transfer Day.
The New Year will present credit unions with many additional opportunities to make their case on Capitol Hill and to the public.
If the industry learns from the problems it experienced with Decker and the erroneous membership data, it will be better able to make progress in achieving the items on its wish list.

Finnish label Iittala has created a beautiful new set of tableware called Sarjaton, which be available from September 2012. Translated, Sarjaton means 'without series', a reference to the authenticity of the design language and the mix-and-match quality of this well-considered ensemble. I love the simple and elegant design and the beautiful soft colors that really match very well together.
Iittala has brought together six young Finnish designers from fashion, product, graphic and digital design to create this collection with not only an inherent respect for craftsmanship and dining rituals, but also a respect for the values that enrich contemporary living.

revisited/pizza: i strongly recommend ALLEYCATS at Zhong Xiao
2, Lane 248, Zhong Xiao E. Road, Sec. 4
(02) 2731-5225
website: Alleycatspizza.com
hours: 12noon - 10 PM
$ - $$
Kid friendliness: to-go location with only 1 table.
Visit reviewed:3/18/2008
Original visit: 5/3/2006 at Li Shui location. Read review here
Lately I've been craving deep dish pizza. Specifically, the spinach and mushroom stuffed pizza from Zachary's in Berkeley/Oakland. Chunky tomatoes, lots of spinach and mushrooms, crispy crust to hold everything together and CHEESE. It's quite painful to crave something you can't have since it's impossible to find anything like that here- I crave it even when I'm in LA since I haven't found a good deep dish pizza place there either that can compare.
So to fufilll my tomato sauce crust-cheese-fix, I decided to get 2 small pizzas from the new-ish location of Alleycats. They've expanded from their original Li Shui location to four other places, each with their own unique menus. This location in a little alley off of Zhong Xiao is tiny, basically the kitchen with the stone ovens and one patio table to sit down, so most of the customers order their pizzas to go. Sometimes they sell pizza by the slice, but I recommend calling ahead and ordering so you can pick up the pizza and eat it hot at home (or on the way home). You can check out their online menu, but the pricing is slightly different at the Zhong Xiao location for smaller pizzas and they only offer pizzas and calzones. The prices range NT$85 for a small 8" Marghertia pizza to NT$200-$400+ range for 10"-12" pizzas.
I ended up trying the Napoletana (NT$150) which has fresh tomatoes, goat cheese, anchovies, olives and spinach (and successfully requested to have the anchovies swapped for mushrooms) and the Maialona (NT$150) which has Italian sausage, pepperoni, chorizo and salami (I think they are 8 inch). This Alleycats is right across from Chili House and actually not too far from Pizza Hut. They said the pizzas would be ready in 15 minutes to pick up.
It hit the spot.. though it was more CPK (the Neopolitan versions) than Zachary's, it was full of flavor, had the amount right cheese and mix of toppings and the crust balanced everything perfectly. You can also customize your pizza with the number of toppings such as anchovies, artichokes, fresh tomatoes, goat cheese or pineapple, though it might be cheaper to get their pre-set combos since each topping would add up at NT$15-50 each.
My last visit to Alleycats was quite awhile ago, before they expanded and I discovered this location. I'm happy to have this quick and closer location to get my pizza fixes. Much faster than trying to make pizza myself and much closer than to pizza in the states than practically any other pizza place in Taipei. As much as I like the occasional personal pan pizza from the nearby Pizza Hut, Alleycats is much fresher, healthier and, yes, yummier - although you wish they'd deliver!
Where do you guys get your pizza cravings satisfied and does Alleycats serve one of the best pizzas in town?
PS- Right to the right of this Alleycats, there seems to be a new place (competitor for your cheese fixes) called Toasteria serving all sorts of grilled cheese sandwiches, panini style.
Mmm.. will have to go back and try it sometime, although I will probably default to making my own. Anyone tried it yet?

Man, now you're making ME miss Zachary's. :( It's been so long since I had a slice of the spinach...mmmmm, 2 months til I go home! The Alleycats pizza looks delish too, though
- James said...
Hello hungry girl!
The number for the Li-Shui Alleycats is 02.2321.8949
I myself recently have a craving for good pizza.
Thanks for the post!
- Princezz Tracia said...
This is totally unrelated to ur post but I read your blog with interest but have difficulties in deciding where I should go eat because there are just too many recomendations!! I will be visiting Taipei for a week and I hope you can recommend me where I should go for good and delicious Taiwanese food that I absolutely must try while I am there!! What I have gathered so far, the popular places that I must go are Ah Tzung Mien Sian, DTF Xiao Long Bao, Ice Monster, Shinlin. Can you tell me where is the best beef noodles, stinky taufu, oyster omelets, ma la hot pot, ai-yu bing, dou hua and etc...
Would really appreciate your expert guidance in this!!
Thanks in advance...
Is the crust paper thin or thick? While I think Pizza Hut crust is a sweet slice of heaven "smile" I really don't need it for healthy purposes, so I am often in search of paper thin type crust.
- joanh said...
foodhobo girl: aww.. send me some when you get home. SIGH
james: thanks.. i will have to fix that.
princezz tracia: you mentioned a lot of the popular spots.. best beef noodle soup- that's debatable! you can try hitting up Breeze food court which has a whole section for beef noodle soup or yong kang jie (near ice monster). i like the one at san xi dao shao mein (that i reviewed). you can also get the good street food- oyster omelette, stinky tofu, aiyu bing- at shih lin. i like the do hwa at little south gate.. hope that helps!
- joanh said...
trei: hey! the crust is thin and totally opposite of pizza hut! so you should totally check it out.
- nesiote said...
Good to hear that their pizzas are up to Alleycats' standards. When they first opened that branch they were definitely lacking.
Toasteria gets my vote, hands down. All the paninis that I tried were brilliant, and left me hungry for more. Don't miss out on the aioli that comes with the fries!
- joanh said...
nesiote: yeah.. i think they've gotten better than when they first opened.. i will have to check out toasteria..
- Jihea said...
it was extremely unremarkable
like eating crackers with cheese
- Ken said...
Hahaha - Jihea's trollin' comment is hilarious - IMHO, this is much better than cheese and crackers! Pizza spots must be the hardest to evaluate because people go in with their own expectations of what pizza should be like, but there are so many different variations and styles of pizza...
Well, I went in on a MON around 12:30 in the afternoon and there were two tables of foreigners, but no locals. I ordered the Napoletana take-out for NT$150. I thought the mini 8" pie was EXCELLENT! This type of thin, crispy crust is much closer to California Pizza Kitchen or European-style pizza than NY or Chicago style pizza. The ingredients were very fresh and the service was quick - 20min. The anchovies made it saltier than I expected, but other than that, the rest of the ingredients balanced out just fine. Since I am on a diet, one mini-pie was just enough, but if I were hungry, I could easily devour two mini-pies. Definitely repeatable - next time I get a craving, I will take joanh's suggestion and order by phone before I leave.

• $100,000 Sensational Star Stakes, 4-year-olds and up, Cal-breds, 6 1/2 furlongs (turf)
• $75,000 Joe Hernandez Stakes, 4-year-olds and up, 6 1/2 furlongs (turf)
• The Fair Grounds will host a pair of key 3-year-old races Saturday that have Kentucky Derby and Kentucky Oaks implications. The Risen Star Stakes, which attracted a full field of 16, is scheduled to include local runners Bond Holder (Doug O'Neill) and Hoppertunity (Bob Baffert). Vicar's in Trouble, who will be ridden by Rosie Napravnik, is the 5-2 morning-line favorite but drew the No. 14 post in the 1 1/16-mile race. The Rachel Alexandra Stakes drew a field of seven, including Hollywood Starlet winner Streaming, the Baffert-trained filly who was installed as the 5-2 morning-line choice, and Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies winner Ria Antonia. Both races are worth a total of 85 points — 50 for first, 20 for second, 10 for third and 5 for fourth — in the Derby and Oaks points standings.
• Also worth 85 points are the Fountain of Youth Stakes and Davona Dale, both to be run at 1 1/16 miles at Gulfstream Park on Saturday. Thirteen were entered in the Fountain of Youth, including the two favorites — Commissioner (3-1) and Top Billing (7-2). Joel Rosario will have to overcome the No. 12 post with Top Billing. Commissioner, trained by Todd Pletcher, broke his maiden going 1 1/8 miles at Saratoga last summer and figures to get better as the distances increase. Eight fillies were entered in the Davona Dale, including 9-5 morning-line favorite Stopchargingmaria. Pletcher's also got the second choice, Onlyforyou. John Velazquez will ride Stopchargingmaria and Javier Castellano will be aboard Onlyforyou.
• John Sadler, perennially a top trainer on the local circuit, began the Santa Anita meet by saddling only five winners from his first 62 starters. But since Feb. 8, when Sadler won a pair of Grade II stakes, the Long Beach native has been on a roll. Heading into Thursday's action, Sadler had won with 10 of his past 22 runners — a 45.54 win percentage. "The last two weeks have been super," he said. "We've been really fortunate. Things have gone our way, so we're very happy but we've got a long way to go this meet." Just as he maintained a low-key attitude while slumping, Sadler was not about to gloat during his hot streak. "You don't want to get too excited too soon," he said.

Pinoy Australia Information Forum was founded by a small group of Filipinos whose aim is to migrate to Australia. It is now a leading online Filipino-Australian community site for Filipinos in Australia and a valuable resource for people also planning to migrate to Australia.
I'm very happy to announce PinoyAu Forum's new app called "SimplyStall" . It's a new Gumtree like service for Pinoys in Australia but in a way better!
So if you have any items just collecting dust? Why not convert it to cash?
If you are selling new items or products or wish to give an item away for free then this might be a good avenue for you.
This project is a new initiative to unify and have a common portal for Pinoys in Australia to sell and share stuffs.
It's now available on Google Play and Apple App Store.
Please do try it out. I'd appreciate if you can help me spread the good news and start selling your old or new stuffs.

Sunspire Coconut Bars
At the same time I bought the Sunspire Peppermint Pattie, I also picked up both of their Coconut Bars.
Sunspire makes premium candy with all natural ingredients, nothing artificial. In my experience with their products they tend to use evaporated cane juice instead of refined sugar and often use unsulfured molasses as a sweetener. They also eschew genetically modified sources so most of the products I've seen use a rice syrup when needed instead of corn syrup. Besides the malty, earthy flavor that molasses usually adds, I have no problem with sweet & satisfying candy being made from these elements.
Add to that Hershey's decision to move manufacturing of Mounds, Almond Joy and York Peppermint Patties to Mexico, I thought it'd be cool to find an excellent American-made substitute for folks who want to buy more local. (Though in my case Monterrey, Mexico is a bit closer than Hershey, PA.)
The Coconut Almond with Premium Milk Chocolate bar looked fabulous. It's pretty beefy, a wide slab clocking in at 1.75 ounces.
Instead of the two piece style of Almond Joy or Bounty this is a long, one-piece bar, a bit thinner. The rippled milk chocolate enrobing is glossy and appealing.
The almonds in this bar are not whole ones popped on top like Almond Joy, they're crushed & mixed in with the moist coconut flakes.
I didn't really see the almond bits in there, but the color was a bit more on the cream-colored side than the dark chocolate & no almond version (see below.)
The bar smells pleasantly like coconut and unpleasantly like Hershey's Milk Chocolate often does - a bit gamey & sour ... rather like baby vomit.
But I pushed on, because I actually like the taste of Hershey's milk chocolate, even though I can't take the smell of it for very long.
The flavor of the milk chocolate is tangy, it's like acid reflux but in the convenience of a pre-packaged bar. It's terrible. I can't eat it. I tried several times, it's just too awful for me to stomach. (I even waited a couple of days, just in case I was the one who wasn't feeling well.)
Then, as some sort of deja vu, I lured Amy into my office to try it. (Remember, not only does Amy have no problem spitting things out, she also has a hate-hate relationship with Sunspire's Sundrops.)
I understand personal preferences for certain flavors, it's rare for any candy product to induce a verified gag reflex.
Rating: 1 out of 10
But to get back to the happy hiatus of Sunspire mistrust that was the Peppermint Pattie ... an unrelated bad night's sleep and I tried the Coconut Premium Dark Chocolate.
It's a simpler bar, just a firm coconut center, lightly sweetened and some dark chocolate enrobing.
The enrobing on this one looked similar, though there were a few bloomed spots. As the expiration date was March 2010, I felt pretty safe eating it.
The chocolate is slightly bitter, not extremely creamy but has its own decent flavor. The center is firm and chewy, more like an uncoated coconut bar than something soft & moist like a Mounds.
This tastes like no compromise candy. All natural ingredients, not organic but at least not genetically modified or overprocessed. The ingredients are vegan however they were made in a plant that processes wheat, peanuts, tree nuts, milk, eggs and soy. Kosher.
The price is a bit steep and to be honest, if I'm going for a candy bar when at Whole Foods or similar stores, there's very little that could pry me away from the Q.Bel wafer bars. But if I was in the mood for coconut, the dark bar is notable.

Sunspire Peppermint Pattie
The first time I tried a Sunspire product, I thought it was terrible. I was also rather irritated that they thought that their candy coated chocolate lentils were better just because they were all-natural, when they actually had more "sugar" in them than M&Ms. (Not that I subscribe to the belief that sugar is unhealthy in moderation.)
I was at Henry's Market over the weekend and all the Sunspire candy bars were on sale, so I grabbed a bunch ... because if there's one thing that makes me reconsider my opinion, it's a reduced price. (Oddly enough free samples have less influence.) This Sunspire Peppermint Pattie was $1.25 (they're usually $1.69).
On the front it says that it's premium dark chocolate - all natural / nothing artificial.
The little mylar wrapper holds a 1.4 ounce pattie.
It's a rustic looking pattie, a little thicker than a York Peppermint Pattie but also smaller in diameter. Still, they're the exact same weight as a York. (No, that's not a trick of the light, the center is actually a light amber color.)
The ingredients are impressive, if only for the adjectives involved in simple ingredients:
So while the ingredients are pretty wholesome, they're not vegan and not processed in a facility that's gluten free (nor peanut/nut free).
But for me it's all about the taste. I was a bit worried that the dark chocolate would be too sweet, what with two sweeteners listed before the cocoa solids.
The chocolate shell is pretty thick, it has a nice toasted cocoa aroma with a hint of the minty sweetness within. It's nicely tempered and has a good break but happily the little bits adhere to the fondant center.
The chocolate is much like chocolate chips as far as texture. Not extremely smooth, but with good flavor ... just a smidge on the dry and chalky side of things.
The fondant center is smooth, with a slight but consistent grain to it but overall it has a cool dissolve on the tongue. It's a cross between the texture of the York Peppermint Pattie and Junior Mints. The peppermint isn't that strong and there's a pretty noticeable whiff of molasses in the whole thing. It makes it all seem rather "hearty." There's also a lot more chocolate to this than a York has (so there's also more fat and more calories).
My opinion of Sunspire is a-changin' ... this is a really good product. Yes, more expensive but also made in the USA. (But if I had my druthers for non-York mints, I'd probably go for the Ritter Sport Peppermint bar ... except it's seasonal.)

Best Intentions: Sun Drops
Name: Sun Drops - Plain Milk & Peanut
Here's a perfectly good idea gone awry. There's no reason there can't be good, tasty, "natural" chocolate candies (I think that's been proven more recently with things like Equal Exchange, Green & Black, Newman's Own, etc.). This is an example of a weak candy line. Here's why: First, the colors are dull and unappealing. They're not colors that I want to eat (except for the yellow, they look like old-lady lipstick colors). They're not strong or clean, they're muddy looking and uneven. A grainy looking outside does not bode well for the inside.
The ingredients are basically sugar (natural with unsulfured molasses, blah, blah) then milk powder, then the chocolate ... that's a long way down the list. And it shows in the final product. The addition of molasses is a little odd. It gives the whole thing a rather toasty burnt flavor, which I enjoy with my oatmeal but not in my chocolate. In fact, I can taste everything in these drops except for the chocolate. The powdered milk, overly sweet sugar and slightly grainy chocolate just combine for a depressing treat. The crunchy shell is too tough and again adds sweet without flavor and further distances me from any chocolately goodness. If it's possible, the peanut ones tasted more like burnt sugar and milk powder.
With the same number of calories and fat as M&Ms, why am I eating these? I gave them to Amy to try and after much cajoling (because the package, colors and list of ingredients scared her off - and she was the one that wanted to go to Wild Oats on Saturday!) she did put one in her mouth. She chewed a couple of times and then spit it out in my trash can.
If you are a parent trying to find a wholesome treat for the kids, this isn't it. It sets them up for a lifetime of disappointments, now that's spoiling them. Just let them have some M&Ms in moderation (the Almond ones are actually not bad for you since the bulk of the candy is actually a very healthy nut). Or just let them have plain old semi-sweet chocolate chips. Dark chocolate really isn't that bad as a food. Raisinettes? Really, anything but this. Don't tease the poor kids by telling them this is candy.

OK so I've gone cray cray with the cookie butter.
BUT...I had to see if the protein bar would....well. cookie butter!
And it did.
They came out great!
If cookie butter isn't your thing and you want a "healthier" version of a protein bar then just sub in
almond butter or peanut butter.
I've made these protein bars with peanut butter before and it's a really good "base" recipe
easy for add in's, other nut butters, etc...
Super easy to make, literally one bowl easy, and the molding part is fairly easy too.
My apologies for crappy photos. Protein bars are...well...not exactly pretty; tasty though!
I think protein bars become "pretty" with all that fancy packaging.
This recipe is a great base for any kind of add in's: you can experiment with various nut butters,
add in raisins, nuts, coconut, give it a drizzle of chocolate on top, etc...
If you don't want chocolate, then omit the cocoa powder.

OK so I've gone cray cray with the cookie butter.

Now this is the kind of protein bar I would JUMP to eat!! Cookie butter is a staple in my diet no matter what anyone says about it's "nutritional value".ReplyDelete
So I love cookie butter. Like if there's one left on the shelf, I might push a child (gently of course) out of the way to get to it. So to see you use it in protein bars makes me jump for joy!ReplyDelete

PS-Girly, I extended my giveaway to 2 winners. Pls enter. xo

Cookie butter combined with protein? I definitely am tempted!ReplyDelete
oh man, these certainly look tempting! might just have to buckle up and give cookie butter a try...ReplyDelete

ID Video Productions (http://IDVidPro.com) for Mercy Center for Women (http://www.mcwerie.org)
Mercy Center for Women (Erie, Pa) is an organization committed to transforming the lives of women. MCW takes in women in real need, houses them and provides real-life skills that equip them to be successful in life. We want to engage the entire community in this mission - a new logo/bi-line is the first step of an expansive campaign. Existing site: http://www.mcwerie.org/

Provide an environment that is conducive to healing, recovery and growth
Provide support and opportunities for women, including our residents and those from the community
Network with other agencies and programs to better serve the needs of women
Cultivate leadership among women to benefit them
My companies, IDVidPro.com, Keys2Heaven.com, ErieAlityTV.com, and IDGenesys.com have contributed to the successes of many INSPIRATIONAL MAJOR MEDIA projects and ORGANIZATIONS (Disney's Narnia, Warner Brothers' Superman Returns, A&E's God or the Girl, ABC's Extreme Makeover: Home Edition).

Please address questions specifically referring to this project to: Greg Schlueter, firstname.lastname@example.com

[certainly, we also want to engage men and others outside this primary target who will become benefactors]
Secondarily, the entire community. There will be substantial, additional campaign "build" following this logo/bi-line branding that engages the entire community in the mission.
The winning designer will:
(1) Incorporate the name ("Mercy Center for Women"), with the bi-line ("Changing Lives with a Touch of Mercy"), into an inspiring, powerful, unique, coherent symbol.
(2) Feel free to offer multiple variations and/or instances in terms of color, style, font or etc.;
(3) Be open to "tweaking" feedback without guarantee of final selection (we are respectful of your time and will not request tweaks unless you're in the ball park);

At Forever Soles, quality is hugely important to us. That's what sets us apart from many. We carefully check every chain, every jewel, every clasp, every pair of shoes before it ships out to you. We take full responsibility for breakages and faults and do everything we can to help by quickly resending or refunding our customers. We know your wedding day is one special day to remember. We want to do everything we can to make sure you feel comfortable and confident in the products you are wearing.
We believe comfort is one of the highest priorities and we aim to provide a shoe that fits like it was made especially for you!
We have added extra padding in the sole of shoe, but if you need more, gel Cushions can also enhance your level of comfort when wearing heels.
If your shoes feel too firm, consider leather stretch spray which stretches leather shoes for lasting relief and comfort.
Always remember to protect your satin, suede and soft leather footwear with an appropriate protector before wear. Please use water and stain protectors. This is ideal for repelling water and stains.
Do not machine wash your Forever Soles footwear as this will cause serious damage.
If they get dirty, remove the excess dirt with light wet cloth or clean brush. If your shoes accidentally get wet on your special day, give them a quick clean and then stuff them with white tissue paper and allow them to dry naturally, away from a direct heat source. This will prevent the outer materials drying out in a bad shape and cracking.
For heeled products, check your heel tips. If your heel tips start to wear down, take them to a good shoe repair shop and have them replaced to avoid causing further damage to your shoes. When purchasing leather products from Forever Soles please remember that it is a natural product and some variations between pairs in terms of colour and finishes may occur.
Please treat your barefoot sandals, anklets and jewellery with gentle care. The gold and silver metals are an alloy based metal and not real silver and gold. The metals may fade in time but should shine up nicely with a jewellery cloth.
Avoid exposing metals to wet sand or water.
What postal service do we use?
We use Australia Post.
We ship Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. We are a small business located in a remote area. We will work as quickly as possible to get your order out! We appreciate your patience.

Shipping with this method can take up to 21 business days. If after this timeframe, you have not received your item then get in touch with us via email: firstname.lastname@example.com and we can lodge an investigation for you. This can only be done after 21 business days.
Some countries will add additional taxes and duties that the receiver will be responsible for. If these are refused, we will get the parcel returned to us and you will be refunded for the product, minus all postage costs for the return send.
Liability for lost or damaged goods
We highly recommend the express postal service. This includes tracking and a signature on delivery. Please be aware, once orders ship, they will become the responsibility of receiver.

We will need to wait for Australia Post to locate your parcel. Sorry no refunds can be given until we have a conclusion from Australia Post.
Customs/Import taxes for international orders
All international customers are responsible for the customs duties and taxes within their own country. For further information, please contact your local customs office.

If the receiver refuses to pay taxes + duties, the item(s) will be returned to us and the order will be refunded excluding return shipping fee and original shipping fee.
How are the products made?
We design our styles in Australia and then send our creations off-shore to be made. The designs go through a quality and approval process and are then returned to us where the details and trims are adjusted so they are a perfect fit for you. We love to bead, crochet, hand sew, dye and more!
All designs are carefully checked for quality defects, then packed into tissue paper, a Forever Soles calico gift bag and sent to you in a strong postage bag for protection.
How are the shoes sized?
All sizes are based on standard shoe sizing. Click on the size chart in the bottom navigation on the site, or contact us here. As part of the checkout process you will be asked for your normal shoe size. We make our shoes in Australian full sizes (sorry no half sizes).

Please make sure you check the size drop down box to see what style we have available in each style.

How soon can I get my order and how much will it cost?

Presented by Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, the Jimmy Fund, and the Boston Athletic Association (B.A.A.), the 14th annual B.A.A. Half Marathon will conclude the three-race B.A.A. Distance Medley. As in previous years, excitement is building as registration approaches for the 14th annual B.A.A. Half Marathon, with sign-up opening July 16 at 10:00 a.m. As in past years, it will sell out within hours.
Although race registration via the B.A.A. opens July 16, Dana-Farber is building its official team NOW for the B.A.A. Half Marathon. Spots are limited so please act fast! As a Dana-Farber team member, you receive a guaranteed race entry, a personal fundraising webpage, online tools and guidance for training and fundraising--fun and easy, and training plans from Boston Marathon Champion (1976) Jack Fultz.
Additionally, you will be given the cool and instantly recognized Dana-Farber singlet to wear on race day, and the opportunity to receive recognition as you achieve key fundraising milestones during the season. You may sign up as an individual or as part of a group; either way you will be part of the Dana-Farber Team.
The B.A.A. and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute commemorate twelve continuous years of partnership with the 14th B.A.A. Half Marathon, running Sunday, October 12. The B.A.A. Half Marathon has been presented annually by Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Jimmy Fund since 2001.
More than 500 of the 7,000 entrants in this year's B.A.A. Half Marathon will be running to support adult and pediatric cancer care and research at Dana-Farber, with the goal of exceeding the more than $6.7 million raised in 2013 in support of cancer research and patient care.
Additionally, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute has participated since 1990 in the Boston Marathon Official Charity Program, which is now in its 25th year and has raised more than $140 million.
Dana-Farber Team.
Dana-Farber and its clinicians and scientists have transformed cancer care and treatment over the past six decades. Dana-Farber is home to many of the world's groundbreaking discoveries in cancer research and treatment. Since 1948, the Jimmy Fund has raised more than $750 million to support and advance Dana-Farber's lifesaving mission.
The B.A.A. Half Marathon
The B.A.A. Half Marathon, presented by Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Jimmy Fund, begins at 8:30 a.m. Starting and finishing at White Stadium in Boston's Franklin Park, the race highlights the beauty of Boston and Brookline's Emerald Necklace park system while furthering the B.A.A.'s mission of promoting health and fitness.
After its start in Franklin Park, the race takes runners along the Emerald Necklace on an out-and-back route with autumn's foliage on full display. Since the race's inception in 2001, the B.A.A. has directed a portion of the entry fees towards the Emerald Necklace Conservancy, which works to preserve, maintain, and promote this historic park system.
Along with the nearly 7,000 runners expected to participate, a field of international athletes will compete for a prize purse of $55,000. The B.A.A. Half Marathon also marks the final race of the B.A.A. Distance Medley, a three-race series which combines the B.A.A. 5K, B.A.A. 10K, and B.A.A. Half Marathon to crown an overall male and female champion. The male and female with the fastest cumulative time across three races will each receive $100,000. This level of prize money means there will be an outstanding international field and will allow you to participate in the same event on the same roads and at the same time as some of the world's best. Dana-Farber Team.
The Course
This course is beautiful and mostly flat, although hilly in spots, especially within Franklin Park. Runners will enjoy the scenery and the spirit of participation and competition. The sense of community, participation and camaraderie is exceptionally strong among the Dana-Farber Team. There will be crowds along the course cheering, a great community activity. The rolling course features a combined loop and out-and-back route, beginning and ending at White Stadium in Franklin Park.
The start is on Pierpont Road near the stadium and heads out of Franklin Park past Arnold Arboretum and Jamaica Pond. , the course follows the Arborway to the Jamaicaway, past Jamaica Pond and Willow Pond and through Olmstead Park to the turn-around on Riverway before coming back on the west side of the Emerald Necklace. It passes Leverett Pond, Jamaica Pond and Arnold Arboretum again before returning to Franklin Park for loops around the animal enclosures, finishing on the track in the stadium. B.A.A.

About the Boston Athletic Association
Established in 1887, and now in its 127th year, the Boston Athletic Association is a non-profit organization with a mission of managing athletic events and promoting a healthy lifestyle through sports, especially running. The B.A.A.'s Boston Marathon is the world's oldest annual marathon, and they manage other local events and support comprehensive charity, youth, and year-round running programs. Nearly 60,000 runners will participate in B.A.A. events in 2014.
The venerable B.A.A. sent the majority of the track and field team to the first Olympics in 1896, and started the Boston (American) Marathon in 1897, modeled after the first Olympic Marathon. Boston is the oldest continuously run marathon in the world, and has become the standard. And Dana-Farber was the original charity partner of the B.A.A. and has a very strong presence at the marathon annually.
The B.A.A. Boston Marathon is the standard by which all are measured, both races and marathon runners. So, too, the B.A.A. sets the standard for excellence for race organizations. Now you have the opportunity to participate in a B.A.A. event and run with Boston Marathon stars and other elite athletes.
Storied Race in a Unique Setting
Imagine a 13.1 mile road race that combines the hustle and bustle of a city with a park setting and scenic foliage. The majority of the race runs through or along park land. It will be quintessential New England with foliage painting a beautiful backdrop for running.
The greenery of the "necklace," extends five miles to the turnaround loop of the 13.1 mile race at the Riverway approaching the Back Bay Fens. The combination of the B.A.A.'s track record of excellence, combined with history and New England traditions in the fall are reasons this event will close quickly.
Frederick Law Olmsted (1822-1903)
Though the race course was designed by the B.A.A. staff, some credit for course design should be given to Frederick Law Olmsted. Olmsted was the father of landscape architecture and created the Emerald Necklace, designed and built over 18 years, 1878 to 1896. His vision was to create a unique linear park system - a place where "the parkway would create a sure route from the heart of the city a distance of six miles into its suburbs" and where the beauty of landscape would transform the spirit.
Olmsted's also designed New York's Central Park, which some describe as the crown jewel of Manhattan.
The B.A.A. is community oriented and mindful that the popularity of the race will translate into more people visiting and using the parks. This race is a terrific fundraiser for Dana-Farber and the Jimmy Fund. The race and "necklace" are remarkable community resources.
Olmsted sought to advance a sense of shared community and dedicated service to the community. His vision is still a reality. The Boston Athletic Association shares and perpetuates this vision of community. Since inception, a portion of the entry fees is directed towards the Emerald Necklace Conservancy, a non-profit organization working to restore, preserve, maintain and promote this historic 1,000-acre park system.
Very Rewarding and You Run with the Stars
The 14th Annual B.A.A. Half Marathon has the backdrop of the Emerald Necklace and the City of Boston, the cool crisp autumn days and beautiful scenery. It celebrates running and health and community—and the determination to conquer cancer—while enjoying that rare combination where urban streets and buildings meet a lush green landscape; a great experience for participants, an unbeatable combination. The event's reputation extends outside of New England to runners across the country and the world.

Walking Dead: The Game - Season 2 Review
The first episode of The Walking Dead: Season 2 pulls no punches. If you hoped there would be any light at the end of season one's dark and mouldering tunnel, then this short, sharp establishing act will brutally bash those hopes to death with a bloody rock. After former protagonist Lee's unfortunate exit from the series, his once ward Clementine has become something of a lone wolf. In this new episode, you control Clementine directly, helping her face everything from imminent starvat…Watch The Video Review
The Wolf Among Us Review
So, you've created one of the most critically-acclaimed comic book adaptations in the history of videogames. Where do you go from there? Well, in Telltale's case, the answer is straight back into the comic store to find inspiration in another fantastical tale of desperation, death, and moral ambiguity. The Wolf Among Us puts you in the gumshoes of Bigby Wolf, the cigarette smoking, ill-shaven sheriff of Fabletown. While he looks and speaks like a classic film noir protagonist - a gruf…Watch The Video Review
Poker Night 2 iPad Review
The Inventory is a strange place. It's a kind of nexus point for pop culture characters from multiple mediums to converge and play games of high-stakes poker. The first entry in the series was quite successful, offering a poker experience seasoned with the kind of hilarious dialogue that comes with such a varied and wacky group of characters. The sequel follows suit. Brock Samson from The Venture Brothers, Claptrap from Borderlands, Sam from Sam & Max, and Ashley Williams from Army…Watch The Video Review
Walking Dead: The Game Review
For those who have been waiting for Telltale Games' iOS version of The Walking Dead, the wait was not entirely in vain. I could lie and say that nothing has been lost in the translation from console/PC to handheld device, but it would be a lie, though its ultimate impact on the story and experience is minimal, making it a must-try adventure game. Although based on the comic franchise, the story follows Lee - a convicted killer who is given a second chance after surviving a 'walker' at…Watch The Video Review
Sam & Max Beyond Time and Space Ep 1 Review
There's an assumption at play here with Sam & Max Beyond Time and Space Ep 1 (otherwise known as Ice Station Santa): you need to have not already played it on any of the other platforms it has already been released on, which is no easy thing considering its initial PC release was in late 2007. However, hardcore Sam & Max fans; adventure game enthusiasts; and those not yet introduced to the whacky duo may still find themselves compelled to give this short and sweet title a run f…Watch The Video Review
HECTOR: Ep3 – Beyond Reasonable Doom Review
It becomes increasingly difficult to review episodic games like Hector and other releases from Telltale because all the episodes of a series are planned together, so there's usually not much difference in quality of presentation, writing or gameplay. Hector – Beyond Reasonable Doom is the third and final installment in this series based on the world's worst police officer. Like episode one, the previous game left on a cliffhanger, with both Hector and Lambert finding out the ide…Watch The Video Review
HECTOR: Ep2 – Senseless Acts of Justice Review
A little over a year later and Hector has returned in an all new adventure. The last episode left on a cliffhanger, as Hector entered the sniper's building only to find a laptop controlling a rifle aimed right at him. The game starts with Hector escaping from being shot in the face, and then having to find his way out of the building to hunt down the mysterious culprit. Control, while not perfect is pretty intuitive. Dragging your finger along the screen will reveal hotspots that can…Watch The Video Review
Puzzle Agent Review
We've seen puzzle-based adventure games before on the App Store and while many end up feeling like another twist on Professor Layton, Telltale Games' latest release 'Puzzle Agent' backs off on the brainteasers and focuses on the adventuring. Nelson Tethers, an FBI agent specializing in puzzle research has been sent out to solve a strange mystery in Scoggins, Minnesota; a place where everyone has a puzzle to solve. Puzzle Agent is a fairly standard point-and-click adventure title, howe…Watch The Video Review

For years, doctors have dismissed patients' worries about mild slips of memory as a normal part of aging. Now, as the focus in Alzheimer's research moves toward early diagnosis, researchers are looking for ways to tell whether some of these "senior moments" are an early sign of the disease.
The idea is so new that scientists can't even agree on what to call these memory complaints among people who are still cognitively normal.
But experts gathered at the Alzheimer's Association International Conference in Boston say evidence is growing that it may be possible to couple certain patterns of memory lapses with genetic markers or changes in the brain and spinal fluid to better predict which individuals are displaying the earliest symptoms of Alzheimer's.
Finding people who are just beginning to develop the disease is important as companies struggle to find treatments that can prevent or delay the disease. In the past 12 months, several high-profile clinical trials testing drugs in people with mild to moderate Alzheimer's failed to show a benefit. Scientists believe that may be because the drugs are being tried too late, when the disease has already killed off too many brain cells.
Last week, Eli Lilly and Co announced it will start a new clinical trial of its experimental Alzheimer's drug solanezumab focusing only on patients with mild signs of the disease, after two late-stage studies of the treatment in people with more advanced disease failed to show a benefit.
Dean Hartley, director of science initiatives at the Alzheimer's Association, said scientists are just beginning to quantify whether anecdotal reports of memory loss have any bearing on whether a person ultimately develops dementia.
The difficulty is that many things can cause temporary memory slips, including sleeplessness, depression, stress and some medications. "The question is which ones are indicative of underlying pathological changes," he said.
To study the problem, Dr. Rebecca Amariglio, a neurologist at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, took a sample of 189 clinically normal adults over age 65 and asked them questions about their memories.
Researchers also did brain scans using a radioactive tracer that can detect the presence of a protein called beta amyloid that is believed to be an early sign of Alzheimer's disease.
The team found that the people who reported the most trouble with their memories also had amyloid buildup in their brains. "Subjective concerns may be an early indicator of Alzheimer's pathology," said Amariglio, who is presenting her findings at the Alzheimer's meeting this week.
Questions used by the team covered a whole range of common memory issues, such as misplacing belongings or forgetting details of conversations.
Such lapses can of course be just an artifact of people leading busy lives. The trick is sorting out which memory complaints are meaningful and which aren't.
Dr. Richard Kryscio, an expert in biostatistics at the University of Kentucky, has been tracking memory complaints in more than 1,000 cognitively healthy people in their 60s and 70s for more than a decade.
People who sign up for the study visit the center once a year to take a battery of cognitive tests. Each person is asked whether he or she has noticed any decline in memory since the last visit.
Kryscio reported results of the first 531 people at the Alzheimer's meeting. The group started the study at an average age of 73.
Over the course of 10 years, more than half of study participants said they noticed a change in their memories. Among this group, individuals were also twice as likely to be diagnosed with dementia or a precursor to dementia called mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in follow-up visits as those who reported no change.
A separate study from Cecilia Samieri of the Research Center Inserm in Bordeaux, France, and colleagues at Brigham & Women's also found a strong correlation between self-reports of memory loss in individuals with a gene defect called APOE4 that is known to raise the risk of Alzheimer's.
Amariglio said the findings are more important for research than for doctors, because there are no proven treatments to prevent the development of Alzheimer's.
Dr. Creighton Phelps of the National Institute on Aging said in the past that Alzheimer's researchers have written off people's reports of memory loss among the cognitively normal as a concern of the "worried well," but that now they are starting to listen more carefully.
"Over time, these self-reports do lead to some measurable declines," he said.
That doesn't mean that people who occasionally lose their keys or forget where they parked the car should go rushing to their doctors, said Dr. Ronald Petersen, an expert in early Alzheimer's disease at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.
In a study his team is doing of cognitively healthy people, 80 percent of normal people aged 70 and older will say their memory is not what it once was.
"What this research is trying to do is carve out that subset of people who are really telling us something that might be important."

[Look for the podcast play button below.]
So sorry I missed last week. However, to make up for my absence, I have a remarkable show in store for you. Today, I bring you the second installment in my new series of interviews called The Erotic Mind.
The idea behind this series of conversations with noted erotic artists of every stripe is to see if we can uncover something of the creative process involved in this specialized art form.
Today I have the distinct pleasure of introducing you to a world-class artist who comes to us all the way from Cape Town South Africa — Moxy Hart. He is a visual artist who creates his erotica predominately with oil on canvas. But he also sketches in charcoal and crafts in plexiglas.
Moxy writes of his work: "Words are so restrictive, mere utterances, black on white. Feeling is the language of the soul and it's in big, bold, bright, fantastic Technicolor. This is how I see. This is my world." We'll hear a whole lot more from this fantastic artist as Moxy and I discuss:
- How he got his start as an artist; as an erotic artist.
- The inspiration for his Good Phallus series.
- What Erotic Art means to him.
- His chosen media.
- His very first erotic creations.
