Seats to be contested as Bradford hospital trust looks for new governors
11:00am Sunday 27th January 2013 in News
People from Wharfedale and Aireborough are invited to contest seats on a Bradford hospital trust's Council of Governors.
The terms of office of 13 Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust governors will come to an end on March 31, and the trust is looking for new governors.
Two public seats within Bradford Council's Shipley Area will be contested, as well as one in the Keighley constituency, while two seats will also be available for people living outside the Bradford area.
Four health professionals' seats will also be contested in the election.
The Trust runs Bradford Royal Infirmary and St Luke's Hospital, Bradford, but also provides services in the community, including doctors, nurses, midwives and physiotherapists.
It provides services from many different locations such as GP practices, community hospitals and other neighbouring hospitals in Airedale, Halifax and Huddersfield.
Chairman David Richardson said: "Governors reflect members' interests and work on their behalf to improve services by providing an important link between our hospitals and the local community, helping us to gather views from local people and feeding back to them what is happening in the Foundation Trust.
"The job requires time and commitment and while no special experience, skills, education or qualifications are required, candidates do need to have an interest in health service policy and keep pace with the key strategic issues facing the Foundation Trust."
Governors' responsibilities include: reflecting the interests of members and gathering views about the Foundation Trust's services, contributing to the Trust's future direction, appointing external auditors, selecting the chairman and non-executive, attending meetings, developing the membership strategy and advising the board of directors on a range of issues.
Completed governor nomination forms need to be submitted by February 7. Where a seat is contested, elections will be held and voting will take place between February 27 and March 19.
Nomination packs are available from Caroline Hinchcliffe, Electoral Reform Services Ltd, The Election Centre, 33 Clarendon Road, London N8 0NW, on (0208) 8899203, or e-mail caroline.hinchcliffe@electoral reform.co.uk.

The much-more heralded Reservation Road, directed by Terry George, starring Joaquin Phoenix, Mark Ruffalo, Jennifer Connelly and Mira Sorvino, came a cropper, averaging just $2,830 per screen at 13 locations. Considering the high-profile talent, that's got to be considered a major disappointment for distributor Focus Features. Nick Schager felt the film "seems determined, whenever possible, to resort to preposterous plot twists at the expense of actually plumbing its grief-stricken characters' anguished psyches."
Earning just a little bit more per screen, but without star wattage and very many advertising dollars behind it, the performance of O Jerusalem, about the birth of the modern state of Israel, can be considered satisfying to distributor IDP. Unfortunately, the reviews so far -- at least as indexed by Metacritic -- are far from enthusiastic, which doesn't bode well for future word of mouth.
Ian Curtis biopic Control added one theater and increased its take to $18,250 per screen, the highest average for the week, while the reissue of Blade Runner: The Final Cut fell 60% yet still made $13,00 at each of its two screens. Lars and the Real Girl added 14 theaters and continued its good performance, taking in $8,809 per screen. The remake of Sleuth added 12 theaters but declined to an average of $1,880.
Among the September holdovers that expanded, The Darjeeling Limited ($6,534 each on 202 screens), Lust, Caution ($4,688 each on 125 screens), Into the Wild ($3,267 each on 658 screens) and Across the Universe ($2,812 each on 960 screens) performed well.

Gunsmiths also perform repairs and maintenance, and I'm fairly certain Occupational Health and Safety regulations that require repairs to be done by a qualified individual apply to the police.
Yeah, that's the point: it's not really news. As much as I respect his accomplishments, Ray sounds like the boy who cried electric wolf these days.
Indeed...it's minimum wage, and babies are much better deep fried in a tempura batter.

How do you fix a problem and keep it fixed without knowing why the problem exists?
1 - Strict mode.
2 - Cats don't seem to respond predictably to any input. I posit they're our perceptual interpretation of random number generators.
And what about the moral implications of subjecting a sentient artificial entity to this kind of torment over and over until you get it right.
That just makes it more fun.
It is bribery if the money is used to pay blackmail to a mistress.
Even if the mistress is a paid agent of the politician's opponents, and the blackmail payment is to outbid them? Two (or is it three?) wrongs don't make a right IMO, just wondering about other people's views on using the money counteract someone else's dirty tricks/use of bribe money...
And spiders. Sadly ThinkGeek doesn't sell those any more...
Exactly; saying "X has increased since Y, therefore Y caused the increase in X" is simplistic nonsense because it ignores previously existing trends and other confounding factors (for example, I'd say that the consistent correlation between arrests for amphetamine possession and assault rates suggests a greater probability of a direct causal link, but that doesn't make it true).
I'm not sure it's correct to say the 1996 ban on semiautomatic long arms* didn't do anything: the previously existing trend suggests there should have been a few mass shootings since then, but the number dropping to zero overnight could also be explained by dealers voluntarily tightening up their practices or some other factor, so that's a "maybe". The wider ramifications for other violent crime are even harder to quantify, since semiautomatic long arms aren't typically used for self defence...not even the criminologists and statisticians with access to finer grained data and years to study it can agree, I doubt there's greater expertise here. And trying to relate it to the US, which has a completely different attitude to guns and historically far higher ownership rates, is probably futile.
*Handguns have been restricted since 1901 in New South Wales and for similar times in other states. It hasn't been legal to carry a gun without a valid reason (which doesn't include self defence) anywhere in Australia for over 100 years, so it's improbable that the 1996 ban on semiautomatics made any real difference to crime rates at all.
The only part of that I actually wrote was
no correlation with incidence of rape
The rest you made up.
The Australian experience of an increase in forcible rape after guns were banned.
False. There was no appreciable increase in the three years after the ban came into effect. There has been an increase since, however that follows a trend line that started before the gun ban, so there is no correlation between the ban and the incidence of rape.
Sweden's population growth rate has been under 1% for the last 50 years. Doesn't look like the policy is successfully encouraging much to me.
No problem is so formidable that you can't just walk away from it. -- C. Schulz

easy tofu
don't understand negative just quickly add to Asian/ stir fry instead of meat , very easy and as its marinated there is more flavour here and less of the fluffy cotton wool texture than none veggys dislike .
02 March 2013
agree with the changed recipe
I did like the bigger chunks which were more of a meal with tofu instead of more like "crispy bacon bits" which go on top of food. They are more greasy, I think more unhealthy, more snack than a main meal.
28 February 2013
not what it was.
Cauldron changed the recipe a few years back and in doing so increased its shelf life considerably. Unfortunately the flavour and texture was significantly worsened in the process. Still better than (horse)meat though.

Love this stuff
I fear the day they stop making it. I can eat a whole tray as a snack...totally dangerous, delicious snack.
23 February 2013
Don't understand the low rating!
Great taste, easy to cook and use in any stir fry
Chillies en Nogada
Heart-shaped green poblano chillies from Mexico's Pueblo region are traditionally used for this recipe but you can substitute ordinary green peppers.

Effects of Hyperparathyroidism
When a parathyroid gland enlarges and produces too much PTH, the blood calcium level becomes high, bones may lose calcium, and kidneys may excrete too much calcium. These changes may give rise to symptoms and signs such as polyuria, thirst, fractures, and kidney stones.
Neuropsychiatric symptoms associated with primary hyperparathyroidism include anxiety as well as cognitive and psychotic presentations. However, the most common presentation is depression with associated apathy.5 In a prospective study of 34 patients with hyperparathyroidism, Velasco and colleagues6 found that approximately one-third of participants had no psychiatric symptoms, one-third had affective symptoms (with or without paranoia), and one-third had cognitive impairment. Affective symptoms were most common in patients with modest elevations in electrolyte levels, while cognitive deficits were more often related to higher calcium concentrations.
Hypercalcemia. The severity of psychiatric symptoms in patients with hyperparathyroidism often correlates with the increase in serum calcium levels. Calcium performs a crucial role in nerve conduction. Consequently, it is no surprise to find out that some common symptoms of parathyroid hyperactivity and high calcium levels are related to the nervous system.
Other symptoms have to do with the muscular system, which uses changes in intracellular calcium concentration to initiate and transmit the command to contract muscle fibers. Improper regulation of calcium levels may result in muscle cramps and weakness. The heart is a muscle, and therefore its conduction system is also vulnerable, with possible shortening of the QT interval, rhythm disturbances, and even cardiac death.
The skeletal system not only functions as the reservoir of calcium for the body, but calcium phosphate(Drug information on calcium phosphate) is an essential ingredient of bone tissue. Consequently, a hyperactive parathyroid system contributes to osteoporosis and vulnerability to bone fractures.
When hypercalcemia is present, it is important not only to screen for hyperparathyroidism but also to rule out other possible underlying conditions, such as malignancy and drug-induced elevations in calcium levels.
Case Note
Already, early in the process of screening for elevated calcium levels in my many patients who are receiving lithium(Drug information on lithium), I have identified a patient with hypercalcemia and a markedly elevated PTH level, which may indicate hyperparathyroidism. She is a 50-year-old woman with schizoaffective disorder who has been receiving long-standing lithium therapy and is undergoing further evaluation by an endocrinologist. All of us are hopeful that her recent cognitive decline and mental apathy will prove to be reversible.

How Will I Get Him to Propose?
If you're wondering how you'll get him to propose, stop right there.
The fact is, you can't get him to do anything he doesn't want to. Not now. Not after you're married. Never.
You can't get him to stop wearing his "lucky socks" to the game. You can't get him to take out the trash. You can't get him to quit talking to an old girlfriend. And, you can't get him to propose.
Instead of asking "How will I get him to propose?", you should ask, "What's preventing him from proposing?"
You need to help him overcome the barriers that prevent him from doing what he really wants to do: Marry you.
The answer may be more deeply hidden than you expect. It's not just his fear of commitment. It's why he's worried about commitment, about marriage, and maybe about you.
There are things he's worrying about, and they're buried deep in his subconscious. He couldn't even tell you this stuff if you asked him… unless you already knew what to ask.
The wrong questions will drive him further away. In fact, it could lead to a really ugly conversation that leaves both of you angry, and perhaps even makes you break up, permanently.
Before you throw in the towel, or — worse — try to pry into his tangled logic about marriage, please go watch the free Girl Gets Ring video. Yes, it really is free, and it's not a sales pitch. T. Dub Jackson gives you enough useful information to make a big difference in your relationship right away. (It's not some stupid teaser. This is information that other people charge big bucks for, and he's giving it away. He's launched a "million marriage crusade," and he seriously wants to help a million couples get married.)
Your guy probably wants to get married as much as you do. He's probably as deeply in love as you are, whether he'll admit it or not.
He's trapped by stereotypes, insecurities, and things he needs to hear from you, but he doesn't know what to ask.
The free Girl Gets Ring video will explain that to you, and show you exactly what to do next.
Before you watch that video, pour yourself a cup of coffee. Grab a pen and some notepaper. It's a long video and you're going to want to take notes. I don't mean you should take notes… I mean, as soon as you hear what T. Dub explains about men and getting him to propose, you're going to practically climb across the keyboard to learn more. You'll want to take notes… lots of them. (I took six pages of notes, the first time I watched that video.)
Yes, it takes a guy to explain this stuff. No woman is likely to figure this out on her own. Seriously. The logic… it sort of makes sense, when you look at it, but really… nobody tells you this stuff about men, marriage and commitment.
T. Dub is going to explain what's buried under all that macho nonsense about "fear of commitment" and staying single. Once you really understand this, you won't even need to ask your guy what it'll take to get him to propose.
You'll already have the answers. You'll already know exactly what to say, and how to assure him so your man is comfortable proposing to you. It'll seem like the logical thing to do, and like you read his mind.
There's nothing manipulative about this. Forget playing games or acting "hard to get" or giving him an ultimatum. Those don't work.
The Girl Gets Ring approach is based on 100% honesty… and it's that honesty that will get you both to the altar, together, and taking your next step to "happily ever after."
Share and Enjoy
The Truth About Girl Gets Ring
Girl Gets Ring is a system that says it shares "the secrets that will get him from 'Hello' to 'I Do' faster than you could ever imagine."
It's designed to help you earn virtually any man's total devotion, and his enthusiastic commitment to you and your future together.
Is that a realistic claim? Let's take a look at what's required.
First, you need to stop blaming yourself for what's happened in the past.
Next, if you're in a relationship that's been stalled for years, and you're only staying with him because it's "better than being alone," you need to throw him back. You can do better. Really.
You'll also need to let go of any idea that the delay is about your looks, your age, your weight, your family, your education, or how busy you are.
That isn't the problem, and it never has been. Any guy who's using those as excuses… the problem is his, not yours.
Frankly, either you connect on a deep emotional level or you don't. That's how Girl Gets Ring helps you: It shows you the tried-and-true way to make that important connection. Whether you haven't met Mr. Right yet, or you're in a stalled relationship that just hasn't led to the altar, Girl Gets Ring will show you exactly what to do next.
Finally, you need to relax and accept that this could be easier than you ever expected. Girl Gets Ring isn't some "magic pill" that will do all the work for you. Instead, it's a system that exposes the lies you've been taught about men and relationships, and reveals the basics that can always work with any normal, healthy guy.
Once you understand the four core feelings that drive every man to want closeness and commitment, and what will scare him off, the rest is natural. In fact, it's fun.
So, forget about playing "hard to get." In fact, banish any advice you've been given about manipulating guys or pretending to be someone you're not. That hasn't worked in the past, and it may have sabotaged some of your best, past relationships.
You can get to "I do!" with your integrity intact. You're not tricking him in any way. In fact, the Girl Gets Ring system may be the simplest, most honest way to build a "happily ever after" relationship.
There are several steps to the Girl Gets Ring system. If you follow them, you might easily reach your goal of getting the ring.
But… are you really ready to take that first step?
Even before you start the Girl Gets Ring system, be sure you're ready for a commitment. Otherwise, this could backfire. If anything, Girl Gets Ring works too well, and it can work pretty darned quickly.
Maybe you're one of those women whose friends complain about men. You're right there with them, agreeing that most men are jerks, and sighing you can't find the right guy.
But — even if Mr. Right showed up on your doorstep — maybe you're not really ready to settle down. If that sounds like you, you're not ready for the Girl Gets Ring system.
It can't be just, "Well… maybe… if the right guy comes along. The tall, handsome, rich one who's never been married, has never had kids, has a great sense of humor, and thinks I'm the only woman for him. I might be willing to marry him. Maybe."
(And — be honest — if he did show up in your life, would you be a little nervous, wondering if he's too good to be true?)
You're also wasting your time and his if your attitude toward marrying him is, "Sure, why not." You don't need another relationship that's only slightly better than being alone.
You have to be ready for marriage, and everything that goes with it.
I don't mean that your biological clock is ticking and you figure you'd better get married and have kids now, or it might be too late.
I mean: You know you're ready for marriage. You're ready to settle down with one guy and journey through life together, hand in hand.
Next, you need to know what you're looking for. The guys you hang out with might be good for laughs, but… are any of those men reliable enough to be a husband and father? Take a good, hard look at each of them. There might be a diamond hidden among them, in more ways than one.
After that, don't think you just need to reel him in. You need a system that takes you, step by step, through the stages of a relationship that will lead to marriage.
If you rush things, act fake, or try to manipulate him, he might run out the door and never look back. Don't make that mistake!
Get the right kind of advice.
You could get advice from your mom or your married friends. If you do, make sure you're getting advice from someone in a happy marriage. (Just because she says she's happy… well, that might not be true. It could be just her own, rose-colored view of marriage.)
Also, make sure you'd like the kind of relationship that person has. We've all met people who seem "happy enough," but what they do is argue almost all the time. It's as if they like to disagree with each other. (Some will even admit that they do, if only because the "making up" part is so much fun.)
Do you really want a marriage like that? Probably not.
You could ask married and single men for their advice. Chances are, you'll get some reactions you didn't have in mind.
And frankly, your dad's advice is from a different era. It might be helpful, or it might lead to relationship disaster.
So… who can you turn to? It's difficult to know who to trust.
That's why T. Dub Jackson and Jonathan Green put together their system, Girl Gets Ring.
Who is T Dub, anyway?
"T Dub" (T.W. Jackson) is a relationships expert. His recent best-seller was "The Magic of Making Up." I don't know how many copies it sold, but it became the gold standard for fixing broken relationships. Last time I looked, the Magic of Making Up had saved over 6,500 relationships. That's pretty good.
Here's part of an article based on the Magic of Making Up, sharing advice for getting back together after a really bad breakup:
Your best bet is to talk about everything that happened and led to the break up in the first place. Until you understand each other and how each one thinks, there will be no point in trying to get back together because your relationship will only end in disaster again. Do not play games or try to trick your ex into coming back to you. Doing this will only deepen the hurt and distrust.
Be friends before you two jump right back into being in a relationship. Date, hang out, have some fun, just learn to be together before things get serious again. Keeping things casual for the first few weeks will give you both time to readjust to the other person and let you ease back into a relationship.
I'll bet you know people who've broken every rule in that advice… and then they can't figure out why their ex- won't take them back. (Maybe you should show them this article.)
That kind of advice is typical of what you'll find in Girl Gets Ring… except that Girl Gets Ring is written for single women who want marriage.
For this system, T Dub teamed with Jonathan Green.
Learn from a top dating coach, too.
T Dub has been a respected relationships expert for many years. He's also been married for over 16 years. So, it made sense for him to team with someone who's in the dating field right now, and knows the ins and outs of online dating, the club scene, and negotiating that tricky first date.
That's where Jonathan Green comes in. He's a world-renowned dating coach who knows exactly what's going on, in today's dating scene.
Between Jonathan's insights and T Dub's expertise, Girl Gets Ring can deliver the quickest, easiest and smartest way to the relationship you deserve.
Can it work for you?
If your past dating efforts have failed, you need a different plan.
You know when he says, "It's not you, it's me," and dumps you…?
Well, he's right. It's not you. It really is him!
The problem is, underneath that panicky, commitment-phobic exterior is a guy who actually wants a deep, committed and loving relationship. He might even want that with you.
He just doesn't understand what he's feeling. He senses that something's not right in the relationship, but he doesn't realize what it is.
Girl Gets Ring is the answer you need. It's the first non-pushy, non-manipulative method that allows you to be yourself, while helping your man overcome his anxieties about relationships.
It's not therapy. It's about getting past the games and the facades. Girl Gets Ring will show you how to connect, easily and quickly, even on that important first date.
And, if you're dating online, it'll show you the seven biggest mistakes women make with online dating. You know… the things you say in your profile that seem to attract the psychos, sickos, and womanizers.
You've already wasted too much precious time, following "the rules" that don't really work.
Everything can change for you, almost overnight, once you know the four things that really matter to men. They're the same things that will help him see you as the most wonderful woman he's ever been with, or will ever be with.
In other words, he'll want a supportive, connected relationship with you, and he'll take the initiative to get there.
The truth about Girl Gets Ring system is this: It's the first system of its kind, it's radically simple, and it's the only one you'll ever need to connect with Mr. Right and, hand in hand, move towards marriage and a lifetime of happiness, together.

Dating – When You've Made a Big Mistake
In every relationship, there's usually a time when one (or both) of you realize you've made a mistake. Maybe a big mistake.
It could be something obvious, like he forgot your birthday. Or, it could be the time he saw you hugging another guy after you'd had one too many drinks at a party.
He might have gone on a date with an old girlfriend, and — though nothing happened and he's glad he's with you, instead — he still feels guilty that he never told you about it.
Or, maybe he pretended to be richer than he is, or you acted as if your job was more important than it is, and there's been no easy way to explain how that happened.
Whether they're big indiscretions or "little white lies," they can hit your relationship hard. In fact, they can kill the romance dead.
The big question is: Can you get past that?
Stephen Covey (the "7 Habits" guy) talks about the emotional bank account. It's important to be sure it's never overdrawn. If you make a mistake, you do something to make up for it.
But… what do you do when it's a big mistake. A really big one? And, what do you do when you suspect that the man in your life is hiding a big, painful secret?
Is there a way to put so much back into that emotional bank account, it's the equivalent of a massive lottery win?
The answer is yes.
It all comes down to honesty.
That doesn't mean you should rush into a detailed confession that will send him running out the door. Nor should you nag, push and prod him into his own confession. In fact, that's such a certain way to kill a relationship beyond any hope of saving it, you may as well keep your secrets and part friends.
I'm talking about a different kind of honesty, the kind where you're being authentic in your relationship. No faking. No manipulating. No pretenses. No deception, and no more "little white lies."
He wants to be your superhero, and he needs to feel that you appreciate him for that. It's as simple as that.
However, where you are now in the relationship… it may not seem all that "simple" to get your romance back on track. Most magazine articles and relationship books will give you perfectly awful advice.
Guilt is a terrible thing, but now may not be the best time to bare your soul. Or, if you suspect him of doing something wrong, cornering him and forcing the truth out of him… that's a really bad idea.
I can recommend a step-by-step course that can turn your relationship around, almost immediately. It even includes something called the "clean slate method" that's as close to a mistake-eraser as it gets.
When I tell you that it's called the Girl Gets Ring system, you may roll your eyes. You might feel that you're far away from marriage and "happily ever after," and you've read enough articles and books about how to manipulate your guy into a proposal, thank you very much.
Well, it's not that kind of system. In fact, it's pretty much one-of-a-kind. It's a non-manipulative, non-pushy way to bring honesty and romance into your relationship. And, with that foundation… well, it's the quickest, easiest, and smartest way to built the kind of loving relationship you deserve.
If you're one step away from breaking up, you need this book and the audios that go with it. If your relationship has become so empty, you're wondering if it really is "better than being alone," you need the Girl Gets Ring system.
Getting engaged and married may seem nearly impossible, based on how your relationship is right now.
However, I can promise you this: Girl Gets Ring can revive your relationship.
Don't give up on your relationship until you've tried it. You're minutes away from beginning to restore the romance you once shared.

What to Do When He's 'Just Not That Into You'
Do you know the signs that he's "just not that into you"?
Do you know how to get your relationship unstuck and moving towards marriage?
A lot of women's magazines will tell you to play "hard to get." They explain that, if he thinks he might lose you, he'll come to his senses and do everything he can to make you happy again.
Others will tell you to make yourself more attractive: Lose a few pounds. Change your hairstyle or hair color. Update your wardrobe. Learn some new moves to increase his pleasure when you're alone.
When you were first dating, you followed "the rules" you thought would work. You asked him about his career. You pretended to be interested in his hobbies. You paid close attention to the cues he sent about what he likes in a woman, and you did your best to become that woman.
But somehow, at the end of each date, you always felt like you'd missed something important. That deep connection was almost there, but not quite.
Weeks, months, or even years later, you feel like you're the one doing all the work in the relationship… and he's still putting on the brakes when it comes to commitment.
Seriously, do you think you can keep all of that up after you're married (if he ever proposes), and maintain the house, cook the meals, take the kids to ballet classes and soccer, and maybe hold down a job, too?
Yes, it's reality-check time.
You've been a sucker for media manipulation. Magazines and TV shows have played on your insecurities. They've given you bad advice, just so you'll buy the next issue (or watch the next show) to learn what you're not doing right.
It's not about faking it. Not in terms of your interests, and not in bed.
It's not about your weight. It's not about your job, or how busy you are. It's not about your age or the pressure of your biological clock. It's not even about those bouts of PMS.
It's about him, and the four core feelings that make him feel conflicted, inside, without ever telling you what's going on.
Why is he doing that? Because he doesn't even know he's sabotaging himself. In fact, he probably set the trap — the one that prevents him from finding the deep emotional connection he wants — on the very first date… and he hasn't a clue what he did wrong.
Now it's your turn to put on the brakes. Take a deep breath, and find better answers.
Fortunately, the answers are easy to find if you know where to look. And, you can fix your broken relationship, bring romance back into your life, and have fun at the same time.
Girl Gets Ring is the system you're looking for.
You won't have to be pushy. You won't be playing hard-to-get. You won't pretend to be someone you're not. And, it won't cost you an arm and a leg, the way some dating sites do.
This system is going to bring honesty back into your relationship. It can change the very second you begin using the quick-start tips in the Girl Gets Ring system.
Get ready for your man to do a double-take, like he's seeing you with fresh eyes. Expect him to pause, and ask himself why he didn't see the real you — the wonderful woman he wants to be with — until now.
This system is going to get him past his fears of commitment… the same worries that have ruined his past relationships and made him almost lose you, too.
No manipulation is required. No silly game-playing, and no ridiculous scripts that sound as fake as they are.
Girl Gets Ring is the way to start fresh in your relationship, with a level of honesty that's going to be a breath of fresh air for both of you.

Review: SIDEKICK: The Misadventures Of The New Scarlet Knight
By Cody "The Thorverine" Ferrell on Mar 12, 2013 with Comments 2
Next week will see the release of SIDEKICK: The Misadventures of the New Scarlet Knight by cartoonist and web comic creator Pab Sungenis. The young adult novel about a superhero's sidekick who has to step up to the big leagues and take over his mentor's mantle. If that wasn't enough, he also has to deal with high school, trying to get into college, dealing with the other sidekicks, and figuring out who's killing off all the heroes. Sungenis' book is published by Month9Books. A sequel is already in the works with SIDEKICK: Brothers in Arms slated for this time next year. So is this a good read, or should this book be Sidekicked to the curb?
Our story opens at the funeral of Jack Horner, the man who is the first Scarlet Knight. Jack Horner, yes they mention his rather comical name, died in battle with an unknown villain. All of the other heroes that form the Justice Federation are there in their civilian disguises to mourn their friend's death. Also there is Horner's ward and sidekick Bobby Baines is there as well. Bobby has been out of the super hero game for a while, focusing more on his personal life and school work. Little does Bobby know, the death of the man he calls his uncle will result in him being pulled back into that world. Not long after the funeral, the members of the Justice Federation (Mr. Zip, Paragon, Clytemnestra, Mister Myster, Prism, and Morgaine) come to Bobby with a proposal. The world can't go without seeing the Scarlet Knight. If the hero disappears not long after billionaire inventor Jack Horner dies, people are going to start putting the pieces together. Bobby has to take up his mentor's identity and become the new Scarlet Knight. This sets off a series of events that will shake Bobby to his core. Besides being a fulltime hero, he has to juggle school work, his journey to get accepted into college, and his relationship with the other sidekicks. There's also some newfound feelings for one of his gal sidekick pals that Bobby would like to act on. If that wasn't trouble enough, a new villain is killing off the heroes one by one and Bobby may be the only one that can figure it out.
Sugenis does a brilliant job of creating a fully formed world of superheroes and our main area, Harbor City. Each character is fully formed with their own history and relationships. We don't get everyone's powers spelled out, but as you go along you start to see who is capable of what. Sugenis does an impressive job of creating new heroes that are unique enough you don't feel they're bad copies of the heroes they're inspired by. For example Jack Horner reads like Iron Man, Mister Mystery like Batman, and Mr. Zip like the Flash. Sugenis' world feels like a love letter to and step away from the DC universe. You have plenty of super heroes and action, but Sugenis explores more what happens to the heroes when they're not fighting giant squads or exploding pastry throwing villains. The book is said to be for ages 12 and up, but I'd suggest reading over it with the younger readers. There's some not so nice language, teen drinking and some adult situations that aren't too graphic, but read more Watchmen than Young Justice. Comic book fans will really dig this book, it draws inspiration from some very iconic comic book stories that I'll leave you to figure out.
Bottom Line: SIDEKICKS: The Misadventures of the New Scarlet Knight is a great read with great characters and an impressive story. As stated, it does some have some slightly mature themes, but it is a great book for teenage male readers. I'll be excited to see what Sungenis does with Sidekicks next.

Holistic Skin Care Training
Holistic Skin Care Schools and Esthetician Careers
Holistic Skin Care Schools | Natural Healers Career Resource Center
Being an esthetician means being an expert in healthy, beautiful skin. Estheticians are trained in rejuvenating the skin by giving facials, massages or full-body treatments; recommending appropriate makeup or skin care products; or administering dermatological procedures such as laser hair removal. Beyond that, holistic skin care training can expand an esthetician's realm of expertise to include healthy, natural products and non-invasive skin care treatments. Holistic approaches to skin care consider the health of the whole person, including nutrition, lifestyle and emotional factors. |
Holistic Skin Care Career Overview
As an esthetician with holistic skin care training, your practice will emphasize the maintenance of healthy skin as a reflection of inner health, and promote the use of natural products and holistic approaches over invasive surgical techniques or abrasive dermatological treatments. An important part of treating clients is selecting an appropriate skin care program for each individual's skin type and lifestyle. Graduates of holistic skin care school often find work in day spas, salons, resorts and complementary health care centers.
Learn more about holistic skin care and esthetician careers and training.
Holistic Skin Care Training and Education
What You'll Study in Holistic Skin Care School
Basic training at an esthetician school includes study of human anatomy and physiology, including types of skin and skin conditions; holistic skin care products and procedures; sanitation; and professional practice. Advanced or master training will also include in-depth study of skin science and how it connects to overall health and lifestyle, as well as more complex chemical and medical procedures and holistic, non-damaging treatments.
Average Length of Study
Some holistic skin care schools offer a 300- to 600-hour basic program in just a few months. Master-level training takes another 600 hours. If you already hold an esthetician license, it takes about 60 continuing education hours to finish holistic skin care training.
Average Tuition
Tuition for introductory programs generally costs $3,000 to $5,000. Completion of the 600-hour basic holistic skin care training program costs between $6,500 and $8,000, and training for the full 1200-hour master level may cost up to $13,000 or more.
Holistic Skin Care Certification
Individual states vary with respect to how many hours of training are required in order to practice under an esthetics or cosmetology license, but 600 hours of training is enough for a Basic Esthetician License in the majority of states. The National Coalition of Estheticians, Manufacturers/Distributors & Associations (NCEA) recommends the 1200-hour curriculum or its equivalent for NCEA certification. Holistic Skincare Practitioner Certification is also available from the Association for Holistic Skin Care Practitioners.
Holistic Skin Care Career Outlook
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there is increasing interest in skin treatments that promote relaxation and well-being, and employment of estheticians is predicted to grow by an impressive 38 percent over the 2008 to 2018 period. Job opportunities will be better for estheticians who are able to provide a broad range of services, including treatments that require holistic skin care training.
Holistic Skin Care Salary
Salaries for estheticians ranged from about $16,310 to $51,490 in 2009. The average annual salary for skin care specialists was $31,990, but practitioners with more advanced credentials, such as master-level holistic skin care training, often command higher wages.
Is a Holistic Skin Care Career Right for You?
A holistic approach to a career as an esthetician means attending to your clients' inner health and well-being as well as the care of their skin. You'll need to be comfortable with interpersonal interaction and physical contact, as well as observant about skin conditions and knowledgeable about natural treatments. Ultimately, holistic skin care training can lead to an extremely rewarding career helping people reduce stress, improve the health of their skin, and increase their overall wellness both inside and out.

Reading Fightin Phils
Ruf finish to season for R-Phils in Trenton
TRENTON - Darin Ruf stood frozen along the right field foul line just past first base, bent at the waist, hands on his knees.
There was a look of disbelief on his face: The fairytale season was over.
With everything on the line the Reading Phillies had the best hitter in all of minor league baseball at the plate with the tying and go-ahead runs on base.
The fabled Mighty Casey struck out in a similar situation; Ruf, who has constructed his own legend in "Baseballtown" this season, simply rolled over a fastball on the outside part of a plate.
His grounder to short started a game-ending double play that gave the Trenton Thunder a 5-4 victory and a four-game Eastern League divisional playoff series victory over the Phils.
"Every player wants to be in that position," said Ruf, the Eastern League MVP, "but when you don't get it done it feels awful."
Ruf hit his 39th homer of the season a few innings earlier to breathe some life into the Phillies after they had fallen behind 4-1.
He drove another ball to the wall in his next at-bat in the eighth.
He watched from the on-deck circle as Cody Asche slapped a line single to center, sending D'Arby Myers, the potential tying run, to second base.
Who else but Ruf would the Phillies want with a bat in his hands at that point?
"It was definitely the moment," said Trenton manager Tony Franklin, "and we handled the moment pretty good today."
The Thunder executed flawlessly throughout the entire series. It committed just one error in the field, didn't make any baseruning gaffes, didn't fail to get bunts down and executed pitches in key spots throughout.
Save for rehabbing major leaguer David Aardsma their relief pitchers didn't allow a run the entire series.
The Phillies let situations slip away from them in key spots earlier in the series and they did it again Sunday.
They out-hit the Thunder 13-5 but also hit into three inning-ending double plays, got a runner picked off first base and in a crucial spot in the ninth Sunday couldn't get a bunt down.
After Myers had opened the ninth with a pinch single, leadoff batter Tyson Gillies had an opportunity to bunt him over. Instead he popped the ball straight back to closer Ryan Pope for the first out.
Asche sent the next pitch right through the box and likely would have driven in Myers had he been on second.
"We still had our chances," said Reading manager Dusty Wathan, downplaying the failed bunt. "We had a first-and-second situation, we had our guy up.
"It's not gonna happen a thousand percent of the time - you'd like to think it would. And there for a while you thought it was going to happen every single time (with Ruf batting). It's baseball. He made a good pitch on him, and that's how it is."
Ruf was devastated after not coming through.
"It's tough, because you battle all year for your teammates," said Ruf, who missed winning the Triple Crown by a few hits. "It comes down to that one last at-bat after 500 all year, and you need to come through there.
"It's baseball, I guess, but I just feel awful for the rest of the guys that we have to go home now."

Last night's Elle Awards 25th anniversary event, held in the Madrid, was attended by a bevy of models and actresses. Astrid Munoz glowed in a frothy light-blue dress by Elie Saab, Ariadne Artiles wore a light blush-toned strapless gown, Eugenia Silva stunned in a cobalt blue Armani Privé design, and Elettra Rossellini Wiedemann opted for a star-print corset dress. They all looked amazing, but which red carpet look do you prefer?
Sheer Gowns and Masks Aplenty at Vogue Paris's 90th Anniversary Ball
>> Carine Roitfeld's masquerade ball last night, celebrating 90 years of Vogue Paris and loosely Eyes Wide Shut-themed, meant lots of sheer gowns, and lots of show attendees preoccupied with finding a mask yesterday. Anna Dello Russo, inspired by Lady Gaga, paired a Gareth Pugh headpiece with her custom Emilio Pucci gown. Jean Paul Gaultier designed a metal mask for himself adorned with long feathers: "Yes, they're giant eyelashes, acting like hair -- since I'm missing some as you can see — so instead I've gone for this black plume."
Tyra Banks made do with cut up fishnets, Sasha Pivovarova got her mask "from a sex shop," and Lily Donaldson wore a red tulle veil to match her Christian Dior gown: "I made it myself. I went all the way up to the fabric district in Montmartre today." Stephen Jones made Karlie Kloss's star spangled mask to go with her Christian Dior gown, and Riccardo Tisci did Mariacarla Boscono's over the top feathered hat, while he looked to Philip Treacy to custom make his mask.
While there was plenty of mask ogling, Carine Roitfeld was more preoccupied with other thoughts. "Oh my goodness, even the models are eating, it's amazing!" she laughed, as Lily Donaldson took a leaf from a chocolate cabbage.
Fashion's Night Out's Fashion Show Featured a Dancing Gisele, a Rapping Pharrell, and a Whole Lot of Designer Duds
>> The audience at tonight's Fashion's Night Out fashion show wasn't limited to the 1,500 ticket-holders — crowds gathered behind police barricades across the street from the Lincoln Center Plaza for a glimpse of New York City's largest fashion show. Those who were lucky enough to nab tickets to the show were treated to a concentric-circled runway setup, with rows no more than two deep. Not only that, but among the audience was a large smattering of designers — Tory Burch, Tommy Hilfiger, Diane von Furstenberg, Jenna Lyons, Michael Kors, Alexander Wang, Jason Wu, Phillip Lim, Vera Wang, Francisco Costa, and Donna Karan among them; models — Lauren Hutton, Bar Rafaeli, Elettra Rossellini Wiedemann; and other industry figures, including Anna Wintour, with favorites Blake Lively and Roger Federer next to her, and Si Newhouse himself. Bee Shaffer arrived 45 minutes early to the event, holding hands with boyfriend Jake Hurwitz.
Anna Wintour's fears that the show, scheduled to start at 7:30 pm, would begin late were unmerited — it started on the dot with Alicia Keys's "Empire State of Mind" playing on the loudspeaker as spotlights searched the audience and the fountain in the center of the setup rose and then fell.
As the audience looked for Gisele Bundchen, set to open the show's 171 looks, a Fashion's Night Out doubledecker bus pulled up next to the Plaza, carrying Bundchen, Angela Lindvall, Karolina Kurkova, Coco Rocha, Lily Donaldson, Lara Stone, Jourdan Dunn, Caroline Trentini, Sasha Pivovarova, Adriana Lima, Chanel Iman, and Karlie Kloss, each dressed in a Fashion's Night Out tee paired with a long ballgown skirt and heels. The twelve models dismounted the bus one by one, forming a line in front of the Plaza steps as the rest of the 150 model cast filled in behind them.
Gisele leading the way, the twelve openers made their way around the fountain, soon followed by groups of models clipping by showcasing "Fifties Flair," "Tartan Twist," "Rock Chic," "Go Global," and "Jazz-Age Cool." Each group wormed their way around the circular runway, the models coming in quick succession, highly choreographed and sometimes stopping and turning. A few were suffering from their heels by the end — Rose Cordero and Heidi Mount among them — and those in the "Weekend Wrap-Up" group, all swathed in capes and jackets, had sweat rolling from their temples after all the parading, thanks to the humid Indian Summer air.
Pharrell Williams popped up on the center fountain to close the extravaganza in a surprise performance, and Gisele and the rest of the openers paraded and danced back to the bus, this time in full-on designer gowns, with Naomi Campbell in the finale spot. As Pharrell joined them, he encouraged the audience — ticketed and not — to shop New York, because after all, that was the whole point of this 15-minute shindig. So will it work?
Celeb Style: Elettra Wiedemann
Express continued to celebrate its 30 years in the biz with a party with Vogue last night. The black carpet dazzler was model Elettra Wiedemann. Her two-tone blue ruched dress was accentuated by black accessories and a fail-safe black blazer. Her mashed-up Express necklace brought in some bling, while her black satin pumps kept the shine going.

The Model.Live Girls Have Arrived at Fashion Week
>> We've been watching the stars of Model.Live — Cato van Ee, Madeline Kragh, Austria Alcantara — in their weeks leading up to New York Fashion Week, and now they've arrived. This evening, Vogue.TV and IMG hosted the girls' coming out party at the Bowery Hotel; Jacquetta Wheeler even came back over from London to be there. But in reality, the party is just beginning for these three — and we'll see how well they cope with it all in the upcoming episodes.

Gap Tries To Go All Fashion-y and Stuff with Cecilia Dean, Julia Restoin-Roitfeld For Fall 2008
>> Almost exactly one year ago, Gap launched its Fall 2007 European campaign, featuring fashion figues like Pierre Hardy, Amanda Harlech, Coco Rocha and Elettra Rossellini Weidemann shot by Mikael Jansson. The ads must have been a success, because rather than going with the high-wattage stars stateside Gap campaigns usually feature, the black-and-white, fashion-figure concept has been lifted for the Fall 2008 American campaign.
Shots of a smiling Cecilia Dean, a pouting Julia Restoin-Roitfeld, and a coy Georgina Chapman are sprinkled among those of Clemence Poesy, Maryna Linchuk, actress Catalina Sandino Moreno, Chanel Iman, and Lily Donaldson (plus Liv Tyler, apparently star wattage couldn't be totally nixed). More shots are still to come — including those of Scott Schuman and Ryan McGinley.

David Letterman Eats Makeup
Model Elettra Rossellini Wiedemann inspires David Letterman to eat makeup from her Lancome compact. The power of beauty is an awesome thing! And Lancome makeup does smell good. I've considered eating it.
Elettra Rossellini Wiedemann Drives David Letterman to Eat Lancome Powder
>> Best known for being the face of Lancome and holding green causes close to her heart (and maybe being Isabella Rosselini's daughter and Ingrid Bergman's granddaughter, too), Elettra Rossellini Wiedemann made an appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman to talk about all of the aforementioned.
When she revealed she's going to London School of Economics in the Fall to study for a master's degree in biomedicine, David replied: "I don't even know what that means, "life medicine"?" Funnily enough, Elettra agreed: "I don't either, that's the ironic thing." But best of all is at the end, when David whips out a "Lancome powder compact" and starts to eat the "makeup" because it "smells delicious." Looks like the joke is on Elettra . . .

The renovated LEGO Imagination Center at Downtown Disney has reopened this week, and there are a lot of improvements.
Outside the store, amazing giant LEGO statues decorate the perimeter. The popular family walking its dogs and Brickley the sea serpent in the nearby lake still stand guard. But now, visitors also can take photos with Maleficent in dragon form, Buzz Lightyear and Woody, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, and Bambi and Thumper.
The outdoor play patio has been moved from the side near T-Rex to the entrance adjacent to World of Disney. Kids will find tubs of LEGOs to build their creations and the raised slope makes for better races with its new starting gate.
Inside the store, the bottlenecks of people don't seem to happen as much with more room to roam. There is a new hub of computers where kids can design LEGO structures and play games. Parents also will find another play table filled with LEGOs tucked inside a separate room. That's a great addition — especially on hot days!
The LEGO Imagination Center still features the world's largest Pick-A-Brick wall and plenty of cool displays of popular LEGO playsets.
The only change that longtime guests may find disappointing is the removal of the outdoor play structure designed for preschoolers. My own kids enjoyed many fun visits there when they were younger, and I never saw the area empty.
Want to see for yourself? Take our video tour of the revamped LEGO Imagination Center.

The Oregon Trail American Settler
Does anyone else play this game on their blackberry? If so, do you know where it stores its game files? Does it even store files or does it use a persistent object? I'm looking to move my data over to another phone and don't want to lose my progress.
The Oregon Trail American Settler
I'd like to know this as well. Using a Torch 9800, was playing the game and was doing well, then the storm hit and it wouldn't open since that day.
I was really looking forward to seeing this game on the PlayBook, but I'm sad and shocked to see its not there, seeing as its there for other tablets.
Can anyone tell me how to mail the developer?

Cannot answer where it stores the files but If you do a backup and restore with BBLink you shouldn't lose any progress. Had it done for a friend and she picked up right where she left off on the previous device
EDIT: Just realized you are using a Legacy device. This was done on a Z10

The Feed: The Fable of Hunger versus Rest
Once upon a time, a long time ago, when the gods still played tricks and games with their mortal subjects, there were two deities quarreling. Hunger and Rest. Hunger was a mischievous god. He liked to toy with men and see them squirm and suffer. Rest was a gentle god. He enjoyed seeing men appreciate the little things in life among a world of chaos.
"I make men move," Hunger said. "I am the thing that keeps men alive. And yet, I am more able than any to cause death. Clearly I am the better of the two of us."
Rest laughed. "You are not. You're just an impulse. A natural reaction. Some men go through life and hardly feel you at all. Whereas a man uses more than half of his life in my presence and all of his death. I am the better of the two of us."
Hunger was indignant. "Let us have a contest, then. I wager that of the two of us, I will be able to kill a man, and you will not. If you win, the world will know no hunger for an entire century. If I win, the world will know no rest."
Rest knew he could not win the contest as it was, but he was a clever god. "I will accept on the condition that I get to choose the man. I'll even let you go first. And if we both fail to slay the man, then you will be the victor."
Hunger guffawed. The deal was so tilted in his favor that he could not resist accepting it. "You are foolish, Rest. There is not a man that cannot be brought down by Hunger," he bragged. "The wager is struck."
"Grand. Prepare to be humiliated."
"Enough talk! Choose your man." Rest did not have to look far. He knew the perfect man. King Tyronious. He ruled over half the earth with an iron fist. He oppressed his people by starving and taxing them. He slaughtered his nobles in court when he was bored. He killed his own baby son on the word of a false prophet. He was the man Hunger admired most.
"King Tyronious of the providence Angier."
Hunger smiled, "You are a fox, Rest. I was quick to say you were a fool. But you are not going to win so easily. I will not show mercy, even to my beloved Tyronious. A wager is a wager."
"Indeed, a wager is a wager. Good luck."
And so Hunger set about to starve Tyronious. He made Tyronious feel hunger like it was never felt before. He made him famished at every second of every day. Tyronious was so powerful, however, that there was not a moment that he did not have food. He would take it from the villages. He would take bushels from the orchards. He would take entire flocks from shepherds. There was not an instant that he could not have his leg of lamb. Tyronious grew fat and bitter. He cursed Hunger's name and vowed to be resolute. He made his cooks work at all hours of the day and night, always making more food in order to satisfy his ravenous hunger. For a whole year this went on, until finally Hunger gave in.
"It cannot be done. You chose the one man with enough power to overcome me."
"Aye, and with your attention solely upon the king, nobody has died from starvation for this past year."
Hunger was furious. "You underhanded swine! You planned this! You will pay. When you fail to kill Tyronious, I will plague and starve the world so completely that they'll curse you for giving them no rest from their pain. And all you will hear are the dying cries of your beloved and hideous children."
"We will see, sir," Rest said. And with a wave of his hand, he made Tyronious fall into a deep and peaceful slumber. "I believe I am the winner."
"This is trickery," said Hunger. "He only sleeps."
"No, sir. Don't you see? Tyronious is as good as dead already. He sleeps, and that is my point. Because men seek to escape you with the greatest of resilience, Hunger. Men search for me in all walks of life for a reason. In times of great desperation and great tranquility, they search for me because, in me, they are unaware and free. That is why I have won. As the dreams of men overlap eternally over one another and their nightmares are unable to invade the impregnable rest, a truth becomes evident. The truth that there is nothing more that men could ask for than to go gracefully, peacefully, and limp into the jaws of death."

When visiting Denmark you will have plenty of choices when it comes to food as Danes generally love to eat good food.
If you want to dig into some local dishes here are three you should try while visiting: Danish pastry, Danish hotdogs and open sandwiches (smørrebrød).
Danish pastry: You will find Danish pastry in every bakery and there are many of them. You will also find bakeries inside supermarkets and even in the small convinient stores referred to as 'Kiosks'.
If you are in Copenhagen we recommend you to get your pastry from one of the famous bakeries such as Lagkagehuset or La Glace even though those places are a bit more expensive than the regular bakery.
Lagkagehuset is a chain of bakeries with shops all over the city. If you are in the city center go to their shop at Strøget (Frederiksberggade 21, 1459 København K) or at Kultorvet. You can find a full overview of all their bakeries here. Another excellent choice to get some Danish pastry is La Glace, which is Denmark´s oldest confectionary located at Skoubogade 3, 1158 København K.
Danish hotdogs: You can find stands with Danish hotdogs all around. Just look for the small stands on wheels resembling a caravan. Ask for a hotdog with everything and be aware that you won't be able to kiss someone for the next hours. Danish hotdogs are small but full of taste and will open your appetite for more.
Smørrebrød: Smørrebrød is an open sandwich served in both lunch restaurants, some cafés and shops around the city that exclusively sell these open sandwiches. They have a sign that says 'Smørrebrød' and you can see them through their window. Try whatever you see and like, but ask for the ingredients just to be on the safe side.
If you want to eat it the real Danish way, make sure to flush it down with some Danish snaps and beer. If you are in Copenhagen consider booking a table at one of the best smørrebrød restaurants in the city, Schønnemann, where the selection of sandwiches is unbelievable.
