---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.05 Title: Pecan Roll Candy Categories: Chocolate, Candies Yield: 1 servings Caramel: 2 c Sugar 1 1/2 c Light corn syrup 1 cn Evaporated milk = regular size can 1 pn Salt 2 tb Unsalted butter 2 ts Pure vanilla extract 1 c Chopped walnuts For chocolate caramels: * Opera cream fondant: 4 c Sugar 2 c Heavy cream 1/4 c Light corn syrup 1 pn Salt 2 ts Pure vanilla extract Recipe by: CRAIG GARDINER (KNHT09A) Here are the recipes for fondant and caramel which combine to make the most delicious pecan rolls. Combine 2 cups sugar, 1-1/2 cups light corn syrup and half a regular-size can of evaporated milk and a pinch of salt and cook in a heavy pan over moderate heat, stirring occasionally to 236 F. on a candy thermometer. Add 2 large tablespoons of unsalted butter and the remaining milk slowly so as not to let boiling stop. Stir constantly until mixture reaches 240 F. Remove from heat and add 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract and 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional.) Pour onto a buttered pan to a depth of about 1-inch. Let cool completely, then cut in pieces and wrap in squares of cellphane, colored if desired. * For chocolate caramels, add 3 ounces of unsweetened chocolate, finely chopped, to mixture after removing it from the heat. To make pecan rolls, form Opera Cream Fondant (below) into cylinders about 5-inches long and 3/4-inch diameter, dip in hot caramel after removing from heat, then roll in pecan halves. To serve, slice cross-wise into 1/2-inch slices. OPERA CREAM FONDANT: Combine 4 cups sugar, a pint (2 cups) of heavy cream, 1/4 cup light corn syrup and a pinch of salt and cook in a heavy pan over moderate heat, stirring occasionally to 238 F. on a candy thermometer. Remove from heat and add 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract and pour onto a buttered platter. Let cool to lukewarm, then knead the fondant until creamy and very smooth. (This is a most important step.) Form into marble-sized balls and let set until firm, or dip balls of fondant into semi-sweet chocolate, or form fondant into cylinders about 5-inches long and 3/4-inch thick, dip in hot caramel and roll in pecans. -----

And not just a broken Hillary Clinton promise but a Democrat Party promise. More and more Democrat voters are finally coming to the realization that politicians like Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama don't actually care about you. All they care about is your vote – and once they have that you no longer exist to them.
Leave the Democrat Plantation and join the FREE THINKER MOVEMENT that is sweeping the nation.

Warm weather plus a baby bump … what's a girl to do?
There's so much I love about the summer—giant slices of watermelon, late nights on the porch and 4th of July gatherings, to name a few. It's all the best. Truly, the brightest of the whole year.
Except when summer falls during your third trimester.
Then, then it's a whole new ball game, focused on eating ice chips and battling swollen ankles while counting down to fall.
Two of my pregnancies have seen summer during the third trimester and it isn't something I'd wish upon anyone. It's less than ideal to be a monstrous, sweaty version of yourself when a heat wave hits. But, I survived. And you will too! Here are a few tips from my arsenal of experience for staying hydrated, cool and sane in the heat.
Guzzle H2O
You can drink water and You. Can. Drink. Water. Guzzle, my friend, and don't stop. Getting dehydrated is your worst enemy and to avoid that in the heat you have to be proactive. I learned that it's much easier for me to drink copious amounts of water through a straw, and fruit-infused water is the perfect "treat" when I'm halfway through my daily goal.
RELATED: My Husband Doesn't Really Get Babies and That's OK
Dress For Success
Flowy, cotton, maxi dresses is where it's at ladies. Stock up!
Ice, Ice, Baby
Soon, you'll learn that ice is your best friend. Not just for your drinks though. Ice-filled foot soaks in the evening help immensely with swollen ankles and there's nothing better than snuggling up to a frozen ice pack when the house gets too hot to sleep.
You can drink water and You. Can. Drink. Water.
Take Advantage of Water
Cool off in the shower, the pool, in the yard with a sprinkler, with a spray bottle … whatever you need to do to avoid overheating, do it.
Get Out Early, Stay Up Late
It's tempting to go slow in the morning, run around midday and then rest at night, but when you're pregnant during the summer, plan the opposite. Get up while it's still cool and do your household work or exercise then. Relax in the middle of the day, and then when it cools down again at night, muster up some energy to finish your day's projects, if you must.
RELATED: Last Names That Are Perfect for Baby's First Name
Eat Light
During pregnancy, I have found it is crucial to eat mini meals. In the summer, that's even more important since smaller, more frequent meals will pace your metabolism and keep your body from overexerting itself. When it comes to food, summer is good for one thing—stock up on fruits and veggies with high water content and enjoy that fresh produce!
Embrace the A/C
If you have air conditioning, crank it! If you don't, find it … the mall, the library, a friend's house. Being pregnant during the summer is no time to try and save a few dollars.

Nasir Hossain played a crucial unbeaten innings of 39 as the home side survived Kemar Roach's vicious pace and the crafty spin of Sunil Narine to overhaul the West Indies' 217 all out with six overs in hand when they ended 221-8.
Roach finished with 5-56 while Narine claimed 3-38 but they were unable to help defend the West Indies total, driven by a powerful half-century from Kieran Pollard who cracked 85 off 74 balls including eight sixes.
Roach removed openers Tamim Iqbal and Anamul Haque in his second over and then Jahirul Islam in his fifth to leave the hosts wobbling at 30-3 in front of a 25,000 crowd at Dhaka's Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium, including Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
However, player of the match Mahmudullah and skipper Mushfiqur Rahim launched a counter attack to bring the roar back and put Bangladesh firmly on course before Narine silenced the gallery again when he ended their 91-run fourth-wicket stand.
Narine bowled Mahmudullah for 48 and was lucky to bowl Rahim for 44 when he defended well only to see it bounce and hit the stumps, putting the pressure back on the home side who still needed 85 runs for win.
Mominul Haque (25) held his nerve to add a further 53 runs with Nasir to take Bangladesh close to their target though the home side almost ruined the party after losing two quick wickets to Roach at the end of their innings.
Mominul earlier took two vital wickets to help Bangladesh restrict West Indies to a modest total after Pollard had threatened to take it beyond them.
Pollard joined Darren Bravo when West Indies were stuttering at 17-3 and struggling to keep the scoreboard ticking having gone five overs without scoring a run.
Pollard released the pressure off with eight sixes and five boundaries before Mominul bowled him to end his 132-run fourth-wicket stand with Bravo, who played the role of an anchor to score 51 off 108 balls.
Bangladesh then quickly wrapped up the innings as West Indies lost their last five wickets for 29 runs.
This is Bangladesh's second series win against West Indies after they recorded a 3-0 clean sweep against the under-strength side in the Caribbean in 2009.
West Indies, who won the test series 2-0, will end their tour with a Twenty20 international on Monday. (Reuters)

For those of us who were planning on going for the Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III, which is scheduled to be launched on July 11, we have another option now. The Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G is now expected to be out on July 5.
We first heard about the HTC Droid Incredible 4G when Verizon announced it in the International CTIA Wireless 2012 back on May 7 but since we have had no word about the small yet powerful 4 inch smartphone.
Verizon has not yet listed the HTC Droid Incredible in it's web inventory, but a leaked screenshot on Droid Life reveals a whole lot more about the device than just the launch date of July 5. Verizon will be making the phone available for $199 along with a two year contract, with the "possibility of a mail-in rebate."
The Samsung Galaxy S III launch date after being pushed back to July 11 is expected to sell like hotcakes and now, with the Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G on the line a few days earlier to the Galaxy S III, it is going to be a very busy month for the guys at Verizon.
For those who are more interested in the HTC Droid Incredible 4G, than the Galaxy S III, here are the specifications:
It will be running the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich OS, powered by a Dual-core 1.2GHz Snapdragon S4 processor coupled with 1 GB RAM. The screen will be a 4-inch super LCD qHD display. The device will come with 8 GB of internal storage memory which can be expanded up to 32 GB via a memory card. As for the camera, it sports a 28mm lens, 8MP rear camera with autofocus, LED flash and f/2.2. It also comes with an additional VGA front camera. The device will be powered by a 1,700mAh, unsealed battery.
So, in case, a huge 4.8 inch does not appeal to you, here is the alternative.

I started out by cutting away the lower jaw, and carving out a cave from a female styrofoam mannequin head.
I greenstuffed gums, and added teeth made from leftover sprues.
Exciting and promising start. Really looking forward to watching this develop.ReplyDelete
Great start! What else are you planning to build on the display board in terms of scenery?ReplyDelete
Yes, I have several plans. The gate will actually be an entrance to another level. I'm planning to make this years Armies on Parade vertical, and not horizontal. I'm trying to make something I can hang on my wall, like a painting. The head will be on the first level, and be the entrance to another one underneath. There will be three floors in total: - A twisted forrest (with the head-gate in between the trees).
- Some sort of tunnel system, that will represent a limbo between the worlds.
- The place where the Daemons live, some kind of Hell.
This will probably be much easier to understand when I've done a bit more work, and have some pictures.
Fantastic. Looking forward to it.Delete
This comment has been removed by the author.ReplyDelete
Your stuff is amazing. The stuff of the most horriblest nightmares ever (in a good way :-)ReplyDelete
Wicked work! This blows my own head terrain out of the water. Are you planning on bringing the head with you to Helsinki?ReplyDelete
This head will be glued in place on the display-board, to blend it together with all the other terrain pieces. So I won't be able to bring it.
But I still have a couple of months to work on terrain after Armies on Parade. I really enjoy creating terrain pieces, so I can definitely make something similar to bring to Helsinki :)
That would be great! The game board will be this bleak fen like wilderness, so some bright screams of madness will surely fit in and make an impact.Delete

But right now I should be studying. Tomorrow I have my last exam, I can't wait for it to be over. Unfortunatly all the exams didn't go very well, I feel like I failed them all. I hope I didnt, I will get my grades next week and to be honest, I'm a bit nervous. So now I'm back to studying.
Hope you have a lovely day!

Chamber leaders put the shine on members at the 117th Annual Meeting.
FEBRUARY 1, 2016 | St. Petersburg, FL – The St. Petersburg Area Chamber of Commerce® celebrated the success of 2015, recognized community leaders and looked forward into 2016 with over 1,100 members on Thursday, January 28th at the Mahaffey Theater in St. Petersburg. The Chamber celebrated the outgoing 2015 Board of Governors Chair, William Ulbricht, President of St. Anthony's Hospital and welcomed new 2016 Chair, W. Gregory Holden of Manning & Napier Advisors, Inc.
After a welcome from Mayor Rick Kriseman, the room was full of energy – St. Pete is definitely the place to be. There was a bit of a twist this year, the audience was encouraged to #betheshine and take out their phones to participate in a live voting experience which helped run the program. The shine is definitely on St. Pete Chamber members, with last year's tradition of all members receiving 2 free tickets continuing.
The program, run similarly to a Chamber Board of Governors meeting, highlighted a few Chamber member Bright Spots in 2015. The audience voted on which Bright Spot they wanted to hear more about. After a close vote, Allison Guley, Associate Senior Counsel at All Children's Hospital Johns Hopkins Medicine and Chamber Board Member, expressed the excitement of the groundbreaking for their new research and education tower in the Innovation District, bringing progress and insight into the future for kids everywhere.
Councils, committees and task forces are the backbone of the efforts in moving toward the Chamber's Strategic Plan goals. The audience was asked which efforts they wanted to learn more about, and the St. Pete Young Professionals and Leadership St. Pete® (LSP) program won with an outstanding number of votes.
After hearing from Kathleen Larrison, LSP Chair 2015 on the Class of 2015's phenomenal success in 2015 with raising $90,000 for the Class Project, the Suncoast Center, Leah Bickley, the 2016 Class Chair, spoke on behalf of the class on their excitement to make a difference in the community by moving forward with the 2016 Class Project, Alpha House. St. Pete Young Professionals (SPYP) 2015 Chair, Taylor Traviesa and 2016 Chair, Justin Bean spoke on the leadership development opportunities young professionals can experience while being involved in SPYP.

- Best trim choice in surface durability
- Excellent paint adhesion for custom color application
- Spot sanding blend
- Insect-resistant
- Impervious to moisture
- UV stable unpainted
- Easy to nail, glue, rout or cut
- Workable with same tools and fasteners as wood
Kommerling was founded in Germany in 1897 and is known throughout the world as the premier PVC sheet manufacturer. We're also recognized for our innovative ideas and world-class technology. Kommerling USA opened a facility in Huntsville, Alabama, in 1997, to produce foamed PVC rigid sheets for the U.S. market, and, in 2002, launched KOMA Trimboards, now known as KOMA Building Products. With more than 100 people in our 100,000 square foot facility, we manufacture virtually all KOMA products for the U.S. market.
Though we have long been known for providing the building industry with PVC trim boards and sheets, (often referred to as PVC wood), KOMA also offers our customers many other building products, including PVC bead board, PVC corner board, PVC molding, and even flooring material for PVC porches.
There's never been a better time than now to get to know KOMA. In fact our new management team challenges you to make "The Hard Choice" by choosing KOMA Celuka Building Products. We've recommitted to serving the building community by featuring Celuka building products at the lowest prices ever.
Our unique Celuka extrusion process delivers the hardest, most durable surface of any PVC building product on the market. Your homeowner's investment will be protected, and builders are virtually guaranteed to receive material that's un- marred and 100% useable. KOMA products look, feel and work just like high quality wood, but are impervious to moisture, insects and just about anything else Mother Nature can deal out. Our products won't swell, rot, split, delaminate, cup or craze, even under the harshest of conditions.
You'll notice the difference upon delivery with no mars, dents or scratches. Your builders will experience the KOMA difference as they nail, glue, drill, rout, and cut our trim products using their regular tools. And, while KOMA trim products are UV-resistant and require no paint for protection, the special proprietary surface provides excellent adhesion to any custom 100% acrylic latex paint color with a value of #65 or higher on the Light Reflective Value scale.
Another important attribute of KOMA products is that they are sustainable (Green).
Here's what others have to say about KOMA Building Products:
Sider Lumber is a stocking dealer for KOMA Building Products, because we feel KOMA products are the best PVC products on the market. Sider Lumber is a firm believer in the "Celuka process," and we know KOMA does the best job with it. We can state this confidently, because in 2011, unfortunately, we switched to a different company offering a product using the Celuka process and it proved to be a large mistake. We switched because of loyalty to our distributer, who told us this new brand would be the equal or better than KOMA. This was definitely not the case, and we had a very difficult year.
Thankfully we had the opportunity to switch back to KOMA Building Products and it has been smooth ever since. KOMA products have been flawless. We do not have any call backs for scratches, or dirty boards that cannot be cleaned. We recommend KOMA to all our customers, and to other retailers.

Derbyshire health and social care leaders are backing a new campaign to develop understanding about dementia and encourage people to spread the word further.
NHS Southern Derbyshire Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), Derby City Council and Derbyshire County Council are supporting the Dementia Friends campaign which was launched this week to highlight ways to make Derbyshire a more dementia-friendly community to live and work in.
Dementia is arguably the biggest health crisis facing the UK. There are more than 665,000 people in England who have dementia and an estimated 21 million people in England have a close friend or family member with dementia.
In the East Midlands alone, there were 51,807 people diagnosed with dementia last year, with the figure expected to rise to 61,448 by 2020.
The campaign, launched by Public Health England and Alzheimer's Society, is encouraging people in Derby City and Southern Derbyshire to become Dementia Friends by attending a free one hour awareness session delivered by a volunteer Dementia Friends Champion or watching an interactive video to increase their understanding of the condition and how it impacts on people affected by dementia and their carers.
Lots of CCG staff have already signed up as Dementia Friends.
See the Dementia Friends website for details of awareness sessions in your area.
Dr Sheila Newport, Chair of NHS Southern Derbyshire CCG, said:
"One in three of us over the age of 65 will develop dementia - an incredibly high statistic. But people with dementia can live well, and it is the responsibility of the rest of the community to help them do so.
"It is only by personally understanding the issues that people living with dementia face that we can fully appreciate the challenges they have to overcome on a day-to-day basis. By participating in the short information session to become a Dementia Friend, you are playing a crucial role in helping us take one step closer to creating a dementia-friendly society."
The campaign aims to create a network of one million Dementia Friends across England by 2015. As part of the campaign, adverts started to appear on TV and online from Wednesday (7 May).
Dementia Friends is part of a wider initiative to create Dementia Friendly Communities that are inclusive and welcoming for people with dementia. Organisations can make a public commitment to improving the quality of life of people with dementia by creating their own plan of action and becoming part of a Dementia Action Alliance.
The CCG, Derby City and Derbyshire County Councils are updating their local joint dementia strategies, setting out their commitment to supporting people affected by dementia. The strategies include actions to promote the Dementia Friend initiative and to explore ways that Derbyshire can become more dementia-friendly, as well as a range of service improvements. All three organisations have joined the Dementia Action Alliance and have signed a national Dementia Pledge committing to actions to support people living with dementia and those who care for them.
The joint action plans have already seen the introduction of a range of memory assessment and dementia support services plus an all-age psychiatric liaison service at Derby Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
There will be a free one hour Dementia Friend information session on Friday 23 May from 11am – 12 noon at the Council House, Derby. This event is open to anyone who wants to find out more about dementia and become a Dementia Friend. Booking is essential as there is limited space – please book via the Dementia Friends website and view more on the information and handbag goodies available on the day.
For further information on the campaign and how to become a Dementia Friend, visit the Dementia Friends website.

Over the Memorial Day weekend – before it became too hot – I went to the Presby Iris Gardens open house. While there I saw Anne and Anelia [*waving hi*] and also this amazing specimen.
Having done Project Spectrum in orchids, a reprise in irises seemed only fitting. After all, the flower is named for the ancient Greek goddess of the rainbow.
The sudden heat is simply mind-numbing, but I did manage to add some bloggy bling to the sidebar and faux categories to some posts thanks to Virtual Scratchpad. I do envy Typepad and Movable Type users their categories – we'll see how well faux ones work.

Thanks Ginger! It was good to revisit the days of ringing bells.ReplyDelete
The church in Peggy's video is so beautiful!ReplyDelete
What a beautiful church, and those bells ringing are music!!!ReplyDelete
Deb@ http://debioneille.blogspot.com
Tomorrow I will come around and visit as many blogs as I can Ginger. Thank you for highlighting this and for remembering the special person Barry was. I am working with the Green Party in Canada now as Barry and I did for many years before he contracted cancer. I want to continue his work with them because I think the best way to help cancer is to clean up the environment. Governments today are making this a daunting task but I am persevering with all I can do to help to make our world a cleaner and healthier place. I have two political meetings, one tonight in Toronto and one tomorrow in Guelph, but I will make an effort to visit remembered friends here. Thank you again Ginger, LindaReplyDelete

It was a brief opening for Langford's first and only medical marijuana dispensary.
Locals were thrilled to be able to buy marijuana in their own community.
"I'm blind in one eye, and medically it brings down my migraines and brings down my stress and actually makes so I can cope with it in the morning," said one man who visited the store Tuesday morning.
Green Tree Medical Dispensary opened Monday on the 600-block of Granderson Road and was promptly closed by police Tuesday afternoon.

Here is a picture of a rose that was colored with a steel coloring called Gilder's paste. After the rose is made it gets wire brushed and then the coloring put on, after that dries it gets a clear coat finish to give it a shine and keep it from rusting.

statistics - economics
The weight of people in a small town in Missouri is known to be normally distributed with a mean of 188 pounds and a standard deviation of 29 pounds. On a raft that takes people across the river, a sign states, "Maximum capacity 3,600 pounds or 18 persons." What is the probability that a random sample of 18 persons will exceed the weight limit of 3,600 pounds? Use Table 1. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round "z" value to 2 decimal places and final answer to 4 decimal places.)

Stay ahead of developments in federal and state health care law, regulation and transactions with timely, expert news and analysis.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services March 29 released a final rule setting out the methodology states will use in claiming an increased federal matching rate available for "newly eligible" individuals under the Affordable Care Act's Medicaid expansion.
The final rule (CMS-2327-FC), which will have a 60-day public comment period ending June 3, will be published in the Federal Register on April 2.
States that participate in the expansion will receive 100 percent reimbursement of their expansion costs from the federal government during the expansion's first three years.
The expansion covers adults younger than 65 with income up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level, including a 5 percent income disregard allowed under ACA, or a little more than $15,000 for a single adult.
The expansion funding, including the increased federal match rate--known as the Federal Medical Assistance Percentage (FMAP)--will be available to states when the expansion begins in January 2014.
These increased payments will be in effect from 2014 through 2016, phasing down to a permanent 90 percent matching rate by 2020.
"This is a great deal for states and great news for Americans," Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said in a statement. "Thanks to the Affordable Care Act, more Americans will have access to health coverage and the federal government will cover a vast majority of the cost. Treating people who don't have insurance coverage raises health care costs for hospitals, people with insurance, and state budgets."
In states that have already expanded their Medicaid programs to cover individuals who fall within the income guidelines for new eligibles under ACA, the rule also provides information about the availability of an increased FMAP for these adults who are, technically, not newly eligible.
The increased FMAP for newly eligible Medicaid enrollees will be 100 percent in calendar years 2014 through 2016, dropping to 95 percent in calendar year 2017, 94 percent in calendar year 2018, 93 percent in calendar year 2019, and 90 percent in calendar years 2020 and beyond.
If all states participated in the Medicaid expansion, about 16 million to 17 million low-income uninsured would obtain health coverage under ACA, according to the Congressional Budget Office.
However, the Supreme Court, in its June 2012 decision on ACA, said HHS may not penalize states that do not join the expansion, effectively making it optional among states. Some Republican governors, in explaining their reluctance to join the expansion, have questioned whether the federal government will be able to sustain the generous financial commitment to the expansion over the long term.
The rule also explains how the FMAP will be calculated in states that expanded their Medicaid coverage--before enactment of ACA in March 2010--to a level that comes within the newly eligible income guidelines allowed under ACA.
In these so-called expansion states (under the rule's terminology), beginning in 2014 the FMAP will increase, but the increase will not be to the same level as in states that are expanding Medicaid under ACA.
According to the final rule, the FMAP in these states will be increased to a rate that takes into account "the gap between the [state's] regular Medicaid FMAP and the increased 'newly eligible' FMAP" available to states expanding Medicaid for the first time under ACA.
A major part of the final rule covers the methodology states will use to claim their federal match at the appropriate FMAP for people applying for Medicaid.
A key question for states participating in the Medicaid expansion has been how to determine eligibility for people who may have been eligible for Medicaid before ACA but who do not apply for benefits until after the 2014 expansion takes effect.
In particular, states have asked whether they will need to set up two separate eligibility determinations--one using its old eligibility guidelines and one using the new Medicaid expansion guidelines.
In response to these questions, CMS said the final rule sets out a "simplified threshold methodology" for states to use in determining eligibility for this population. The methodology takes an applicant's modified adjusted gross income--which will apply to all new Medicaid applicant's beginning in 2014--and compares it with the eligibility criteria in effect in the state in December 2009, before enactment of ACA in March 2010.
"The threshold methodology provides a simple, accurate approach to determining the newly or not newly eligible status of individuals enrolled in the new adult group," HHS wrote in fact sheet on the new rule.
HHS said that, because of additional details about the threshold methodology in the final rule, it is providing additional opportunity for comment on the methodology. "While we believe that this additional detail will assist states in implementing the threshold methodology, we recognize the complexity surrounding these issues," CMS said in an introduction to the rule.
CMS published a proposed rule Aug. 17, 2011 (76 Fed. Reg. 51,148) (157 HCDR, 8/15/11).
After considering public comments, CMS finalized many provisions of the proposed rule in the March 23, 2012, Federal Register (77 Fed. Reg. 17,144) (52 HCDR, 3/19/12). The new final rule addresses certain provisions that were included in the Aug. 17, 2011, Medicaid eligibility proposed rule but not included in the March 23, 2012, final rule, HHS said.
Text of the rule (CMS-2327-FC) is at http://op.bna.com/hl.nsf/r?Open=bbrk-969l4p. An HHS fact sheet is at http://op.bna.com/hl.nsf/r?Open=bbrk-969mvd.

Championship Manager 4 (Macintosh)

100 point score based on reviews from various critics.
User Score
5 point score based on user ratings.
DescriptionChampionship Manager 4 is the latest addition to the long-running series of soccer management sims. Like its predecessors, the interface still consist mainly of text, menus and clickable boxes, which are all easily navigated using a mouse. For most games this distinct lack of graphics could easily mean its downfall, but as CM4 relies heavily on realism, authenticity and an intuitive interface to attract gamers, it actually works very well.
Though CM4 is visually very similar to its successors, it does offer a few new additions as well as some enhancements to the series. The most notable of these additions is the 2D pitch viewpoint, which is only available during matches. Basically, it replaces the classic commentaries with a top-down view of the match, where you can watch your players live up to your selected tactics (or watch them stuff up in style). Other additions and enhancements include a totally skinable interface, a revamped tactics engine and an enhanced contract negotiating system.
As for the actual gameplay, little as changed since the last installment. Being the manager still means you're in charge of almost every aspect of your selected club, from hiring staff to setting up team tactics and so forth. And you still have to live up to that pesky club board's expectations.

Good News for all you Viigo users out there. This past Saturday the good folks at Viigo completed their planned server upgrade (thanks for working on the weekend guys!). Their growth in users the past few months was causing the existing servers to bog down - which for regular users of Viigo meant feeds were loading up and updating less briskly and frequently than desired.
With the server upgrade now complete, everything is zipping along just fine. The transition should be seemless for end users, but if you're finding things aren't quite up to speed when using the app, try full closing the application down (from the Viigo homescreen hit Menu > Close) and then reopen it from there. This will force Viigo to find the new server.
If you don't have Viigo yet, you'll want to check it out. It's free, and is now available in the recently released CrackBerry.com Edition. You can get your copy here.

One thing I'm worried I may have mis-stated recently is the binary compatibility of portable class libraries right now.
It is true that I've successfully used the portable Newtonsoft JSON.Net as a binary across a lot of platforms - and it's worked well for me - that's what I meant to state.
What I shouldn't have implied was that all portable binaries will work well for you - they won't... not yet...
For mvvmcross binaries, in particular, please do *not* try to use the MvvmCross dlls built on Windows (for WP, WinRT and MonoDroid) on the Mac for MonoTouch. These sadly, don't work, because:
1. There are often problems at build time - with 'reference assemblies' that MonoTouch MSBuild doesn't yet understand
2. There are then problems at run time - with things like mscorlib issues (see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14193608/ios-black-screen-and-missingmethodexception-method-not-found-system-type-op-e)
Instead... you must build the portable libraries for MonoTouch instead....
If you don't want to build - if you want an unofficial set of debug binaries instead... then today these sit in a skydrive folder: http://sdrv.ms/URCbYN - note that there are two portable folders: portablePC for VisualStudio projects and portableMac for iOS MonoDevelop projects.
Some new year's resolutions for you:
- I will try to work on getting official releases of mvvmcross out and published
- I will try to get these released via nuget too
- I will keep reporting issues to MS and Xam about PCLs - in the hope this leads to better and better support.

Dairy Month calls to mind farms, fairs
As we continue our education and time goes on, the farming community's ability to provide the best for their cows only grows, Katerina Emerich and Sara Bull write.
June is Dairy Month. For us, it's a reminder that there are more than 100 dairy farms in Clinton County working every day to produce "nature's most nearly perfect food." It's also a friendly reminder that the fair is coming. Dairy Month calls to mind farms, fairs
Looking back, we both remember our first fair fondly. As young girls showing Jersey calves we learned more than we would have ever imagined. Our families, but more importantly the members of our farming community, helped us learn what it took to have a prize-winning animal. This can be related to the phrase, "Champions aren't made in the ring. They are just recognized there. If you want to see where a true champion is made, look at their daily routine" (John Maxwell)……

Fall 2014 OTL Lunch and Learn Series
This Fall the OTL will offer a series of "Lunch and Learn" sessions on various topics related to teaching and learning. Bring your lunch and your curiosity and join us for one or all of the sessions!
Methods for Encouraging Self-directed Learning: Assignment Wrappers
Facilitated by: Bridget Arend
Wednesday, October 8, 12:00-1:00 pm
OTL Conference Room (AAC Rm 345)
"Wrappers" are short handouts or surveys that students complete along with an assignment or exam. The wrapper focuses on the learning process rather than on the content itself. In this session we will look at a number of assignment wrapper examples and discuss methods for using them effectively. If you've already used wrappers in your course, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com before the session.
How Research on Learning Can Inform Our Teaching
Facilitated by: Virginia Pitts
Wednesday, October 15, 12:00-1:00 pm
OTL Conference Room (AAC Rm 345)
In this interactive workshop, we'll discuss some key research-based perspectives on how people learn that can be used as "tools to think with" when it comes to designing and facilitating learning experiences for our students. An initial 20-minute presentation on these research-based perspectives will be followed by an opportunity for faculty to discuss how these perspectives might apply to their own work with students.
Using Canvas for Assessment
Facilitated by: Rob Flaherty & Ryan Shiba
Tuesday, October 21, 12:00-1:00 pm
OTL Conference Room (AAC Rm 345)
This workshop/roundtable event explores the tools available in the Canvas system for building program assessment into the evaluation of course assignments. Learn how outcomes can be designated and then aggregated at the program level as part of your assessment plan. An initial overview will be followed by a Q&A discussion that can focus on the needs of individual programs. This initial conversation will help the Office of Teaching and Learning identify current and future needs for assistance in this area.
Assessment as Scholarship
Facilitated by: Rob Flaherty
Wednesday, October 29 12:00-1:00 pm
OTL Conference Room (AAC Rm 345)
Description: Serious assessment projects can provide opportunities to present or publish the findings. Come and talk about ways to translate your work in assessment into additions to your vita. Topics may include: Working with the IRB, where to publish or present, and the scholarship of teaching and learning.

Instructional Video Workshops
Join us this session to learn about producing effective instructional videos and using Camtasia Studio Basics. We will showcase instructional videos done by DU faculty members. This workshop will be taught by Alex Martinez from the Office of Teaching & Learning. Main points include:
- Strategizing video to related course assignments and/or assessment
- Advising instructors to use conversational language in production; also encouraging them to use humor and draw on past experiences
- Adding audio/visual elements to the video that supplement the content; the videos should not convey information that students could just read as text
- Producing high-quality videos (despite mixed findings related to production values, elements such as professional sound, lighting, and graphics are considered important when creating high-quality media)
- Keeping the four-minute view time as a design consideration, especially when producing longer-form content lectures that can be broken up into shorter segments
Thursday, September 11th 1:00-2:00 pm

Assessment Coordinators' Workshop
September 5, 2014 – September 5, 2014
September 5, 2014
Anderson Academic Commons Special Events Room (290)
Lunch Provided
It is the beginning of a new academic year, and a new process for assessment reporting. This required workshop for academic assessment coordinators will introduce the new process and new assessment website for submission of assessment reports and plans. Additional features of the workshop include an overview of the revised data collection software (formerly Assess-it!) as well as peer conversations about student learning, curriculum and assessment. The workshop is open to all faculty and academic administrators, but program coordinators are expected to attend. An alternative workshop for those with conflicts will be made available. For more information, access the summer assessment newsletter at: http://portfolio.du.edu/assessment/page/51314
New Faculty Workshop Wrapping Up
We at the OTL are wrapping up our annual New Faculty Workshop, now in it's third year as a summer online program. Nearly 40 new full-time faculty members have already completed the 5-week interactive online workshop, which allows faculty members to start learning about DU, important policies, and best practices in teaching before they arrive on campus.
During one of our live webinars this summer, faculty members joined in not only from across the country, but from France, Columbia, and the Netherlands. Now that classes have started, these participants get the chance to meet each other in person through a few social gatherings.
Adjunct Faculty Workshop now available!
This year the OTL also created an Adjunct Faculty Workshop, open to any part-time instructors at DU. This workshop is similar in content to the New Faculty Workshop but is self-paced to allow for maximum flexibility.
If you are new to teaching at DU this year and have not been involved in one of these workshops, please contact your program chair or Bridget Arend.
The OTL is offering two intensive workshops this summer for faculty members who plan to teach an online or hybrid course next year. The official DU definitions for online and hybrid are:
Online/Distance: A course in which all or nearly all of the organized instruction is conducted online or by distance learning methodologies.
Combined/Hybrid: A course in which online (or other distance) instruction is combined with face to face instruction, where a substantial portion of the face to face instruction is replaced by online instruction.
The Hybrid 3-D Workshop begins on June 21st and the Teaching Online Workshop (TOW) begins on August 5th. Both workshops span several weeks, are primarily delivered online, and faculty members experience online or hybrid delivery first-hand as students. Participants in these workshops will develop their online or hybrid course as part of the workshop activities.
Hybrid 3-D Workshop Registration and Details
03 Jun 2013
Hybrid 3D Workshop
Hybrid 3D Workshop
The Hybrid Course Design, Development, and Delivery (Hybrid 3D) Workshop is for faculty who will be teaching a hybrid course within the coming academic year. The purpose of this online, self-paced workshop is to prepare participants to design, develop, and deliver hybrid courses that maximize student learning.
This workshop can also support faculty members in designing and developing courses using the "flipped" approach.
What would I gain from the Hybrid 3D Workshop?
In this workshop, participants will:
- Identify ways in which they might capitalize on the unique opportunities afforded by the hybrid approach to improve student learning in their own courses.
- Design a peer-reviewed hybrid module(s) that incorporates face-to-face and online components in ways that will promote student learning, and that can be used as a template for designing an entire hybrid course.
- Build a hybrid module in Canvas, based on the initial design, that guides students through module activities, and that can be used as template for building an entire hybrid course.
How is the workshop structured?
This workshop is designed to allow participants choice in how they go through it. As such, there are three ways in which participants can engage with the workshop activities/materials; they can:
- Go through the activities/materials in sequence, and complete and submit all of the assignments for points to receive a certificate of completion
- Go through the activities/materials in sequence, and complete the activities as they see fit for their own learning (even getting feedback along the way), but not submit the assignments for points
- Use the workshop materials simply for reference, but not complete the assignments.
The workshop consists of three modules:
- In the first module, participants learn about ways in which the hybrid approach can improve student learning, and review real life examples of how others have incorporated the hybrid approach into their own teaching. Participants start identifying ways in which they might utilize the hybrid approach to improve student learning in their own courses.
- In the second module, participants are supported in designing at least one module/topic for their own hybrid course, getting feedback along the way, using the instructional design process sometimes referred to as "backwards design".
- In the third module, participants use Canvas to develop the modules/topics they designed, and create an action plan describing a strategy for incorporating the hybrid approach moving forward.
What is the time commitment?
The estimated time to complete the entire workshop is roughly 25 hours. Participants can spread that out over how ever many weeks they choose; most participants will choose to take the workshop over a period of 4 to 6 weeks.
When is the next workshop and how can I register?
Given that this is a self-paced workshop, you can take it at any time. However, you will get the most out of it if you take it with at least one or two other people. If you are interested in enrolling in the workshop (on your own or with others who you know are interested), or if you would like to find out if/when there are others already others planning to take it, please contact email@example.com.
How can I learn more?
For more information about the workshop, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
29 Nov 2012
The Office of Teaching and Learning offers workshops throughout the year on topics related to teaching and learning.
What workshops are offered?
The OTL offers different types of workshops:
- How-to workshops about educational technologies such as Canvas, Adobe Connect web conferencing software and Clicker software.
- Workshops about issues and topics related to teaching and learning at DU such as How Learning Works or Teaching International Students.
- Targeted intensive workshops such as the Teaching Online Workshop, Teaching Hybrid Workshop, New Faculty Workshop, and Teaching@DU Faculty Workshop

How will these workshops benefit me?
What past participants have learned…
"Hard to just name one thing; there were lots of good ideas. Many useful tips on presentation content and delivery, great info on info processing, importance of prior knowledge, etc."
"I liked using Canvas…especially the notifications when something had changed in "class." The speed grader was wonderful and cut the feedback/grading time substantially."
"Specific suggestions for how students can translate concepts to skills mastery."

Teaching@DU: A Short Course for Newly Hired Faculty
The University of Denver is committed to supporting our newly hired faculty members make an informed and smooth integration into the faculty ranks. Even if you have taught elsewhere, or have experience here at DU, we want to provide you with the most current information and resources so that you can make a strong start to your full-time teaching career.
Provost Welcome
What is the Teaching@DU Short Course?
The Teaching@DU Short Course introduces new faculty members to DU and the resources available to them, as well as provides an overview of the latest best practices in higher education pedagogy and educational technology.
The course is offered to all newly-hired full time faculty members each summer through a series of interactive online modules, discussion forums, and live webinar sessions. In addition, we offer a number of face-to-face sessions at the beginning of the fall term.
The course is available in August and early September and is based on a 2-hour time commitment for each module, totaling approximately 10 hours to complete the minimum requirements. It includes live sessions and weekly asynchronous discussions with target deadlines, but instructors can complete the course at their own pace from any location in August and early September.
How will the Teaching@DU course benefit me?
If you are in a new full-time teaching role at DU, even if you have taught elsewhere, this course is designed to provide you with an overview of the various resources available to help you achieve your full potential as a DU instructor. This course is designed so that you spend time on the aspects most relevant to your needs.
Comments from past participants:
"This was excellent for helping new instructors understand the value of learning through a variety of methods. I think we all know this is the case, but the fact that we were required to use these various methods while learning about them really was wonderful."
"Even though I have over fifteen years of teaching experience. I have been exposed to new teaching perspectives. I like this workshop."
"I do like the ability to do this at my own pace and work with the design of my class with each module."
"Thank you so much. It is an awesome course. Really. Other schools made us swim on our own."
Did you know?
The OTL's Teaching@DU Course (formerly called the New Faculty Workshop) won the 2012 POD Innovation Award from the premier college faculty development association in the United States!

Exclusive Ex-Kansas City Chiefs superstar running back Larry Johnson no longer plays football … but he DOES play strip clubs … as a guest DJ … our sources has learned.
Multiple our sources strip club sources … yeah, we got those (a lot of those) … tell us Johnson has been spotted manning the DJ booth at Tootsie"s Cabaret in Miami several times this year.
We"re told Johnson isn"t the main DJ — but every now and then, he"ll take over the booth for a quick guest set … and the crowd loves it.
For the record, Tootsie"s is HUGE with pro athletes … like Aaron Hernandez who allegedly shot his friend in the face after patronizing the club back in February. Good times …
We called the Cabaret for comment on the DJ situation — but unlike their dancers, management was tight-lipped.

Yuzu Kosho Kit Kat - Kyushu Limited Edition
Yuzu Kosho is a spicy sauce made with yuzu, green or red chili peppers, and salt. You can see all three pictured on the box of the Yuzu Kosho Kit Kat. I've not run into this in any cuisine I've tried but I would love to taste it. Japanese food isn't really known for being spicy so anything with a little more kick would be a welcome treat. This Kit Kat certainly had more kick than usual.
Like the other Regional Limited Edition Kit Kats this came in a box of 12 for 810 yen. Each mini is 67 calories. I bought this particular box in the train station in Kumamoto near the beginning of my trip. The Yuzu Kosho Kit Kat is made with a little bit darker chocolate than a regular Kit Kat - so right there it's already winning with me. It smells more like dark chocolate than it did of yuzu. The yuzu flavor is concentrated more in the chocolate and the chili is between the wafers. It starts off with a nice chocolate citrus flavor and ends with a spicy note. The more you eat the more the spiciness builds up.
I mentioned with the Wasabi Kit Kat that I would be interested in trying other spicy varieties of chocolate and this Kit Kat certainly fits that bill. Unlike the Wasabi Kit Kat, I really liked this one. Maybe it was the dark chocolate. Or maybe the addition of the yuzu to balance out the flavor or maybe it wasn't as spicy as the Wasabi Kit Kat but I really liked the Yuzu Kosho Kit Kat. It was the perfect blend of sweet and spicy.
Because I bought this towards the beginning of my trip I started putting one or two in my purse to snack on throughout the day while I did touristy things in Aso, Beppu, and Fukuoka. Usually I have trouble getting through these larger boxes but I only have one of these left! If you get a chance to try these I say you take it.
Final Score: 8

That sounds really tasty!ReplyDelete
Wow, this is such a coincidence. I did yuzukoshoo Cheetos as a review today and you do a KitKat!ReplyDelete
Did you see Calpis KitKat minis are out now? I didn't buy it because I don't want to go for a whole bag, so I'll be looking forward to your review! If you like it, I might try it. Otherwise, I'll save my 300 yen. ;-)
Linny - it is tasty! Let me know if you ever try it. And thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment.ReplyDelete
Orchid64 - I just read your review. I don't know about the pork extract but the rest looks good. I'll have to keep my eye out for more Yuzu Kosho flavored things now. I had no idea it was so popular.
I haven't seen those yet! Hmmm, I'm not a Calpis fan so I don't know if I'll like them or not but I'll definitely be buying them. :-D Thanks for the heads up!

I finished my first book of 2009 last night. Blankets is an autobiographical graphic novel by Craig Thompson. He tells the story of growing up in an extremely fundamentalist Christian family, falling in love for the first time, and finding his own way in the world.
Blankets is heartbreakingly honest and amazingly drawn. Thompson's words are haunting, but the emotion that he portrays with the pen-and-ink illustrations is profound. This book made me sad on so many levels. As a parent, I was horrified with the abusive discipline Craig's father inflicted on Craig and his younger brother, Phil. As a Christian, I was extremely sad to see how cold-hearted and mean and ungracious the Christians in Craig's life had been. It makes me sick to know how many Christians are exactly like that - they suck all the joy out of loving God.
I closed the book with many questions left unanswered: did Craig ever get in touch with Raina, his first love, again? Was he ever able to address the issues of his upbringing with his parents or brother? Did he come to some measure of peace with God, or did he lose his faith completely? I'm still thinking about Blankets - a true sign of a good book.
4 out of 5 stars
Side note: this wasn't one of the original titles on my Graphic Novel Challenge list, so I still have six to go. Oh, well, it counts for my 100+ and Support Your Local Library Challenges.

So much to do!
I am a bit overwhelmed these days with how much my art has grown. I am working on 3 custom cigar boxes (see photo), a bigger piece for an art show at The Ink People in April, as well as adding pieces to my shop on a, hopefully, daily basis. Don't get me wrong, I am excited! To know that my work is appreciated thrills me and makes me blush. It also keeps me going on those days when I don't want to work. But I am also struggling to keep up with all that needs to be done. I should also mention that I work full-time as mental health case manager and I go to school part-time. I don't know how artists that are also parents do it! I am struggling just to keep my head above water as it is. Oh! But I love it! Isn't this what we, as artists, live for? To have our lives consumed by our passion? So I struggle, yet I am thrilled and inspired by it. Such a contradiction!

Martin McGuinness latest endorsement for president comes the whole way from Hollywood, with award winning Irish actress Fionnula Flanagan saying he is the man for the Aras.
The star of "The Others", "The Guard" and "Some Mother's Son", Flanagan has carved out a successful acting career stateside.
Speaking on the Green Room on Newstalk radio, the native Dubliner, who is based in LA, said that if a man was to win the race, McGuinness is the best candidate.
"He's a man I've known for many years and I know there is a great deal of controversy about his background but I think he's got smarts, I think he's got balls, I think he's got vision" .
