Monday, January 14, 2013 - Innovative Valve Centers Offer Specialty Cardiovascular Care
The most complex cardiovascular problems are now being treated in Knoxville. Covenant Health is debuting "valve centers" at Parkwest, Fort Sanders Regional, and Methodist Medical Centers.
"The opening of the valve centers mean that a certain population of patients who used to be referred to places such as Vanderbilt or the Cleveland Clinic can receive their specialty care here," said Jim VanderSteeg, Covenant Health executive vice president of hospital operations. Valve centers are staffed by experienced cardiovascular surgeons, cardiologists, nurses and other professional medical staff who are educated in the latest protocols and expertly trained in the latest procedures.
"Patients want better outcomes, fewer complications and higher survival rates." said Dr. Mike Ayres, cardiologist. The comprehensive coordination of care made possible by the valve centers helps us deliver." Part of that plan is the $2.2 million "hybrid" operating room which opened in spring at Parkwest. It is used primarily for cardiac and vascular procedures performed by members of Covenant Health medical staffs. A hybrid operating room combines the best of a traditional surgical suite with large imaging equipment such as real- time x-ray and CT in a sterile setting.
"Hybrid operating rooms allow surgeons to perform combined open, minimally invasive, image-guided and/or catheter-based procedures in the same OR," explained cardiothoracic surgeon Dr. Chadwick W. Stouffer, who was involved in the design of the hybrid OR for Parkwest, along with Drs. Thomas Pollard, Willard B. Campbell, C. Scott Callicutt, and Christopher Pollock. "If you are facing aortic aneurysm surgery or aortic valve replacement, you may have a less invasive option and a quicker recovery,"
"The hybrid OR concept is gaining popularity around the nation, although just a few years ago, only large teaching hospitals had them," said Parkwest CAO Rick Lassiter. "The hybrid OR allows less invasive, endovascular treatment of aortic aneurysms in the chest and abdomen via catheters placed in the arteries in the groin."
"This OR has amenities comparable to Vanderbilt, and our physicians have access to sophisticated stents and other procedures which have been primarily isolated to the Cleveland Clinic," said Dr. Callicutt, a general/vascular surgeon.
The 1,100-square-foot hybrid operating room will contain a state-of-the-art Toshiba imaging system, as well as the full complement of standard operating room equipment. Cardiothoracic surgeon Dr. Thomas Pollard said the hybrid OR is about twice the size of a normal operating room and has a separate control room for imaging equipment.

The amount of money owed to Oklahoma mineral-rights owners who
can't be located has jumped in recent years as oil and gas
production increased sharply across the state.
An Oklahoma Corporation Commission account that holds unclaimed royalty payments for five years has ballooned from less than $5 million a decade ago to a record $53 million last year.
In fiscal 2012, the account had more than 262,000 missing mineral- rights owners, with a highest individual amount owed of $329,270.
Another account in the Office of the State Treasurer owes about $52 million to mineral owners whom oil and gas companies report they couldn't locate.
If drilling continues to expand, the combined $105 million in both accounts will likely rise.
Most owners will never know they're missing out on their share of the state's oil and gas boom. An average of about 95 percent of the Corporation Commission account isn't claimed by royalty owners during the five-year period the money sits in the account.
The state benefits by using the cash and investment returns from the accounts to bolster the state budget. Portions of returns go to the Corporation Commission, the Treasurer's Office and the state's general revenue fund.
Until recently, Gladys Dronberger was among those missing owners.
Decades ago, her grandfather John Snyder was sitting in Calumet drinking coffee with friends when a man drove up and offered to sell the men investment shares in a well. The farmers pooled their money and bought some shares.
In the 1970s, Dronberger's father, Archie Edward Barrett, and his family inherited the investments in the well.
Fast forward about 40 years: A friend of Dronberger's sees Barrett's name in a public notice and calls Dronberger, who lives in Edmond. It turns out there was still about $100 left in that old well, Dronberger said. Barrett had died in 2005 and left the shares of the well to Dronberger, who said she then gave the shares to her grandson Preston Dronberger.
"I just gave it to him because I thought it would be interesting for him," Dronberger said. "And lo and behold, it had some money. I knew it had paid dribbles throughout the years."
Dronberger's case is typical of people who inherit a mineral interest. Some mineral-interest owners have properties that might not have generated any lease or production payments for years, if ever.
'Being a Detective'
Property ownership records kept at county clerk offices around the state are not automatically updated when people move from place to place or inherit mineral rights. If the owners don't make sure the records are current, they may lose track of what they own.
That's particularly true when ownership interests have been subdivided over several generations and when the owners hold the mineral rights only and not the land, as is often the case. Some interests have passed down through four to five generations.
When an energy company comes along and decides to lease a property that has no current oil or gas production, it will dispatch "land men" to check county records to determine who owns the mineral rights. For any given property, there might be dozens of mineral owners.
"It's sort of like being a detective," said Blake Thompson, of Norman, a former land man who now runs Mineral OwnerMart.com, a website that allows mineral owners to advertise properties available for lease or purchase.
If the land men can't locate one or more of the fractional owners because the information is out of date, the state will allow the oil company to go ahead and lease the land and drill a well under a "force pooling" arrangement. Land men typically check court records and search online to locate names and last-known addresses.
Under state law, the only effort oil and gas companies are required to make is to send a letter to a mineral owner's last- known address.
The missing owners' share of any lease bonuses and production payments is given to the state, which keeps the money until the owners step forward to claim it, no matter how many years pass.
The amounts of money owed to individual owners range from less than $1 to $329,270.
Most people with substantial mineral rights know what they own and do what is necessary to make sure they receive their share, said David Sikes, past president of the Oklahoma chapter of the National Association of Royalty Owners. Missing owners tend to have smaller interests and aren't even aware they are owed money, he said.
"It's a really cool thing. It's your birthright," Sikes said. "To maximize it, you have to pay attention to what you have."
Unclaimed Property Fund
The unclaimed accounts have swelled in recent years because of a boom in leasing activity and oil and gas production from new wells. Oklahoma now produces more oil and natural gas every month than it has at any point in the preceding 19 years, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
The boom is largely attributable to the advent of horizontal drilling technology, which has opened the door to drilling in shale formations where traditional vertical drilling was not considered feasible.
State officials say among the reasons most royalty owners never claim their payments is that they have no experience with the oil and gas industry or don't know they have mineral interests. Nevertheless, the state must hold their money indefinitely.
The Treasurer's Office says one of its entries dates back to 1974. If the owner ever steps forward, he or she will receive $7.44. The state began keeping track of mineral owners in 1967.
Even when owners do file claims to retrieve payments, they end up with less money than they were originally owed. The state charges a 10 percent fee when the money is first deposited from force pooling leases. The money also diminishes in value over time due to inflation. Owners get none of the interest or investment returns.
The state is required by law to publish twice a year a list of the newest names of mineral owners who can't be located.
The Treasurer's Office maintains an online database, searchable by name, listing all unclaimed deposits and whether they are worth less or more than $100.
It also sets up booths every year at the state fairs in Oklahoma City and Tulsa, where people can check the database.
The state stores the money in two accounts.
When oil and gas companies make payments owed to missing mineral owners in force pooling agreements, they deposit it with the Oklahoma Corporation Commission's Mineral Owners Escrow Account. The deposits remain in that account for five years. Then they are transferred to the state treasurer's Unclaimed Property Fund, from which the state can borrow.
The Unclaimed Property Fund also receives other direct mineral- rights payments from oil and gas companies. Typically, in these cases, the companies have lost track of mineral owners who had already struck a deal with the company.
Almost every year, the state borrows from the fund, which also includes money from abandoned bank accounts, unclaimed paychecks, stocks, utility deposits and other sources.
During each of the last four years, the Treasurer's Office has made $10 million of the deposits available for appropriation by the Legislature. The Legislature has also dipped into the fund periodically to plug budget gaps. During the last two years, those allocations totaled $42 million.
'The Next Generation'
Ultimately, it's up to mineral owners to make sure county records are up to date and to determine whether they have unclaimed property in state accounts.
Keeping track of mineral owners has been a problem for as long as there has been oil and gas activity in the state, said Dean Martin, owner of Oklahoma Mineral Owners Registry, a for-profit firm that charges royalty owners a $35 annual fee to list their name in a mineral-rights owner database. The database can be searched for free by oil and gas companies.
Back in the 1910s and 1920s, people would trade mineral rights like they would donkeys and horses, Martin said.
"A lot of people accumulated mineral rights back then, and they forgot they had them and they died. The next generation doesn't know they have it and they move to California or Washington and they forget about Oklahoma," Martin said.
"Now the oil company comes along and starts drilling. They don't know about it, and the money will sit in the state literally forever."
Check the Database
"You could find a pot of gold...!" the Oklahoma Office of the Treasurer exclaims on its webpage where people can check a database with names of missing owners of mineral-rights money and other property. The reality is, most of these owners never claim their money. Searching is easy, however: Go to tulsaworld.com/unclaimed and enter at least a last name or the name of a business.
Oklahoma Watch is a nonprofit organization that produces in- depth and investigative journalism on important public-policy issues facing the state.

Ins and outs of it all
Raiders coach Tom Cable announced several final decisions, and a few almost-final decisions, before the team headed to the airport for Sunday's game at Miami.

His backup, Andrew […] [Read More]
Javon Walker done for year
Raiders wide receiver Javon Walker said he is out for the rest of the season with a left ankle injury that will require surgery. Walker told reporters about his season-ended status after Raiders coach Tom Cable met with reporters. The team will not have comment on Walker's situation until Cable meets again with reporters after […] [Read More]
Knapp gets benched
Raiders interim coach Tom Cable waited until everybody found out he benched play caller Greg Knapp to tell everyone he did exactly just that. Cable confirmed local reports that he stripped Knapp of his play-calling duties on offense last week, taking over that chore himself in Sunday's 17-6 loss to the Panthers. This was Cable's […] [Read More]

Russell, McFadden out
Raiders quarterback JaMarcus Russell and running back Darren McFadden are on the inactive list for today's game against visiting Carolina.

Russell update: questionable
Raiders quarterback JaMarcus Russell is questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers. By definition, that means there is a 50-50 chance Andrew Walter will make his first start since 2006.

JaMarcus misses practice
Raiders quarterback JaMarcus Russell is not practicing today, a telltale sign his sudden case of right knee tendonitis is more than a minor annoyance.

Are you a patient of Charles K. Herman, MD?

On my Journey - East Stroudsburg, PA
So far I am happy with the doctor, everything seems to be going well. He is informative and easy going. He is board certified by American Board of Plastic Surgery, I will let you know more about him after the surgery.
5 out of 5 stars Tummy Tuck
back on track
I did alot of research on the internet, and I also asked my other doctors who is a good surgeon in the area, and they all said his name. Dr. Herman is the Chief of PS in my area, and also has an office on 5th Avenue in NYC. I was very comfortable with him, I found him very honest and down to earth. He did an excellent job on my tt, my scar is very low, perfect actually. He is a very caring doctor, and I would highly reccommend him. He is not one of those doctors that tells u to purchase all this high end stuff, he is down to earth and trully cares about his patients.

Forthcoming in "Nine Inches: Stories" (St. Martin's, September 2013):
I'd taken the SATs seven times so far, twice for myself, and five times for Kyle's clients. Up to now, the kids I'd impersonated had all been strangers from nearby towns. This time, though, the ID came from my own school, Greenwood High. It looked totally official, a dead ringer for the one I carried in my backpack. It even had the same unflattering picture of me — a pudgy nerd with a pained smile and a touch of bedhead — plastered above the bar code. The only difference was the name beside the photo: Jacob T. Harlowe. That was the thing I couldn't stop staring at.

Before NCAA Selection Sunday, there are this week's conference tournaments.
For some schools, these tournaments act as final tune-ups before March Madness to get their teams into gear before the Big Dance actually starts. For others, the conference tournament is the last chance to prove to the selection committee that their team belongs among the field of 68. And yet for others, far on the outside looking in, winning their conference tourney is the only chance they have to enter this year's tournament.
Now, some of the smaller conference tournaments are either already underway or already over, but the bigger conferences' tournaments don't get started until Wednesday.
This will act as a primer for each of the bigger tournaments to give you an idea of who's involved, who's favoured and which Canadians to watch out for this week.
Already qualifed for the NCAA tournament: Mercer (Atlantic Sun), Coastal Carolina (Big South), Delaware (Colonial), Harvard (Ivy), Manhattan (MAAC), #2 Wichita State (Missouri Valley), Eastern Kentucky (Ohio Valley), Mount St. Mary's (Northeast), South Dakota State (Summit) and Gonzaga (West Coast)
American Athletic Conference
Top 25 teams in tournament: #5 Louisville, #13 Cincinnati, #19 Memphis, #21 Connecticut and #25 SMU
Overview: Only three games separated these five times in the regular season (with the Cardinals and Bearcats sharing the regular season crown,) so there isn't a lot separating this group in a very competitive conference. All five of these teams will be headed to the tournament, but likely only this quintet. If any outliers in the conference want in, they'll likely have to win the AAC tournament to get there. Chances are, though, that's not happening.
Projected winner: Cincinnati
Atlantic Coast Conference
Seeded teams: #5 Duke, #6 Virginia, #11 Syracuse and #15 North Carolina
Overview: After the dissolution of the traditional Big East, Syracuse makes its tournament debut in the conference traditionally dominated by schools from the Carolinas. That said, Virginia is the tournament's top seed for the first time in 33 years. Teams should be on the lookout for upsets with both North Carolina State and Pittsburgh capable of grabbing a scalp, but smart money picks one of the top four seeds to take the title. Led by freshman phenom Jabari Parker, Duke is the odds-on favourite heading into this week, but, even after petering out a bit coming down the stretch, Brampton, Ontario's Tyler Ennis and the Orange are still the team to beat.
Projected winner: Syracuse
Atlantic 10 Conference
Top 25 teams in tournament: #18 Saint Louis and #23 Virginia Commonwealth
Overview: The story here isn't what happens with the top teams, but what goes on with those schools who still aren't locks to make the tournament. With Saint Louis and VCU most certainly in, it's up to the likes of St. Joseph's, UMASS and George Washington to ensure participation in this year's March Madness. Having five teams coming out of the Atlantic 10 certainly isn't outside the realm of possibility, but it's not a likelihood just yet.
Projected winner: VCU
Big East Conference
Top 25 teams in tournament: #3 Villanova and #14 Creighton
Overview: Though still being held at Madison Square Garden, this year's Big East tournament certainly doesn't carry the cache that it once did with traditional powers like Syracuse, UConn and Pittsburgh having moved on. Still, tournaments implications are huge here with the likes of Providence, Georgetown, Xavier and St. John's fates for the Big Dance unknown with that quartet likely needing multiple wins for a selection. As for the final, Creighton has beaten Villanova handily in both meetings this season and should again if the top seeds end up meeting.
Projected winner: Creighton
Big 10 Conference
Top 25 teams in tournament: #8 Michigan, #12 Wisconsin, #22 Michigan State and #24 Ohio State
Overview: Like the regular season, this Big 10 tournament should be nothing short of a battle with a lot riding on the line. Nik Stauskas and the Wolverines were able to open a three-game gap on MSU when it was all said and done, but only four games separated Wisconsin in second from Indiana in ninth. It's the teams in that range that need a good tournament here. Up to seven teams could come out of the Big 10 and while the seeded teams are virtual locks, the likes of Nebraska and Minnesota need to impress to secure their positions come Sunday.
Projected winner: Michigan
Big 12 Conference
Top 25 teams in tournament: #10 Kansas, #16 Iowa State and #17 Oklahoma
Overview: This tournament has the potential to be the best of the bunch and a very deep conference means it's ripe for upsets. It's conceivable that any team that finds itself in the quarterfinals has a shot to win the tournament. Oh, and there's a ton of Canadian content here with Kenny Chery and Brady Heslip of Baylor, Iowa State's Melvin Ejim and some kid named Wiggins on Kansas. The Big 12 prides itself as the best conference in the nation in 2014 and having the most tournament bids would go a long way to prove that. Having eight teams in the tournament is not a stretch. This will be a dogfight and not having Joel Embiid will really hurt the Jayhawks.
Projected winner: Oklahoma
Top 25 teams in tournament: #4 Arizona
Overview: Oregon came out of nowhere to win this tournament last year, so the Pac-12 tournament is far from a foregone conclusion as a Wildcats' triumph. Still, they're the overwhelming favourite. Arizona is among a handful of teams here secure in its place in the tournament and, barring a quarterfinal blowout loss, the Wildcats are on course for a #1 seed on Sunday night. With UCLA, Colorado and the Ducks seemingly set for a tournament spot, Arizona State is the team with the most to prove here. Without a strong tournament, don't look for the Sun Devils' name to be called on Sunday night.
Projected winner: UCLA
Southeastern Conference
Top 25 teams in tournament: #1 Florida
Overview: Outside of the Gators, who will look at this tournament as an opportunity to solidify their claim for the top overall seed in the tournament, this hasn't exactly been a banner season for the SEC with the nation's preseason #1 Kentucky falling well short of expectations. John Calipari's Wildcats are in no danger of missing the tournament, but will view the SEC tourney as a means to get some positive momentum going into it. Mizzou, Tennessee and Arkansas are all likely bubble teams right now and could certainly use a positive showing to prove their credentials. This is Florida's tournament, though. They were undefeated in the conference during regular season play and shouldn't look back now.
Projected winner: Florida
The Connecticut Huskies surprised the field from the No. 7 seed to capture their fourth national championship men's title.

Phew... well.. hello everyone, i guess? :3
Okay it feels really weird that i am finally writing something and making a sketchbook here..
As you can see, i have been around for a while.. But i never actually participated in this forums life. I just stalk around here silently from time to time.. But.. Lets change that!
Okay so what can i tell you about myself. My name is Nat (Natalia). I was born in Russia but moved to Germany when i was 13. I currently live in Munich. I ve been drawing since i was little but its been only a couple of years ago where i started to discover painting and also started to draw more seriously hoping to do it for a living someday. I am currently studying graphic design. But i really want to tilt more towards illustration. My biggest childhood dream was to someday work as an artist at Walt Disney Studios! *_*
So why am i here? I decided to practice more.. Try to develop a style.. And to actually upload all that stuff here for people to troll ;P Also, to hopefully make some awesome artist friends on the interwebs! So wanna be my friend??? OOOH COMEON!
Okay i think thats enough text now (I doubt anyone will read it anyway so..)
Here are some still lifes and animal sketches i did recently! The still lifes are from life, the animals are prom photos. Some imaginative animals will follow soon...
See you around guys... *___*v
Puh. I can't believe i did this..

Hello and welcome!
Beautiful color studies! You're ahead of me so I can't think of any crits for now. Looking forward to seeing more.
I'm also curious about your process of work and where have you learned your skills. From your graphic design course? From books?
Beautiful still lifes. What can I say - ehm yes, portfolio level.
Keep up your wonderful paintings
@ Llinda: thank you! Well, as i said, ive been drawing for quite a while already, looking at books, other peoples work, failing often, like everyone out there i guess
@ Klaustrophil Thank you! Im trying ;_;
Okay here is some recent stuff!
One new stillife.

Thanks a lot for the replies guys
Little update with digital studies this time, but better then nothing huh
Here are some sketches of lizards in order to practice dragons!
great lizard-sketches. i alos enjoy your skull-study.
Welcome Natalia!
The only crit so far would be to try and add sharpness to your studies seeing that they are blurry. Be confident, add those details that make the image pop and believable
I've also just started my own sketchbook so we're kinda in the same boat, hehe
Anyway, I've subscribed to your sketchbook now so I'll be trolling around from now on (only creative/productive crits from me, don't worry)
Muh name's Boti, use it
PORTFOLIO - http://harkobotond.carbonmade.com/
Sketchbook - http://conceptart.org/forums/showthr...=1#post3458987
the point you made to draw those lizard studies on that paper texture was really smart. Its always good practice to throw in unlikely reference and base a design of that, bound to form something new! will be back to check out the dragons!!
awasome work!! love it!!
Awsome studies Natalia!
Can't wait to see those dragons .
I absolutely love your animals!!!
Some senceless doodle from recently..
wow nice stuff!

First off anyone who draws animals as well as you do is always going to get a thumbs up from me. i love wildlife art. in an ideal world i would love to do but wildlife paintings as well as fantasy illustration/concept art. Love the colour studies and the way you think through your drawings . I can learn a ton from you..man this place is great
Snap with the same dragon study yours is far better then mine just reminded me i need to keep pushing
What can i say about your still lifes, amazing you are def going to make some great looking pictures when you turn your mind to it great appreciation of colour and form great stuff
Wow, wonderful drawings!
Thank you guys so much for the nice comments!
For all who want to see dragons. i am working on one right now. I hope he wont turn out ugly haha
So my updates for today are just a couple images
a girl from ref, (such a pretty face ö_ö )
and a stilllife. The girl took me around 40 minutes, the stilllife around 4 hours - for those who were wondering about that...
Have a great day!
Really nice studies in here so far! I especially like the still lifes. It'd be great to see some imaginative works from you, too--don't forget to make the studies applicable to something you want to do with them!
wow, inspiring sketchbook you have here! I'm defiantly going to be looking at this from time to time to see what new things you have posted! Really makes me want to work harder on my own art!
@ Amarok Thank you! Here comes imaginative stuff!
@ Pluscandy Thanks! Yay for progress!
Okay, so for those who wanted dragons - here are two i did! Both are from imagination.
Well these are more dragon banners. Its a commissioned work, done for a fantasy facebook game I really struggled a lot with these, especially with the blue one.. :/ I hope one day ill be able to do better dragons..
Critiques always welcome!
Hey there,
first I must to say: I LOVE YOUR AVATAR
Love it. Soooo much.
Then your artwork - so great I really like it. The dragons are so cool!
Some great stuff here: clarity of tone, edge control, confident pencils. A good sense of character in your animal sketches too, both the cartoony and realistic kinds. You're laying down some strong foundations, in terms of technique.
Please give erudite, constructive critiques or give none at all.

Cool dragons
Doodles?!?!!?fantastic stuff you got here, but if these are your doodles..shoot! keep it up!
Nice works! I especially like your still lifes and your use of color in them. There seem to be some problems with perspective of the ellipses in some of those, but other than that they're very good.
Good job, keep working!
It doesn't cost You much to leave a comment in my sketchbook, and it can help me a lot.

Follow me on facebook or WiPnation or Twitter!
Great sketchbook! I love the studies from life - my only crit is I think you could push the color saturation a little to breathe a little more like into them. Some of them, especially the last one, feel a little dull in terms of color. Also, I just love the sketches from the zoo in post #5, especially the deer. Keep up the good work!

Pumpkin Whoopie Pies Recipe
Whoopie pies have roots in Pennsylvania's Amish country. As legend has it, Amish women would pack them into their husbands' lunchboxes. Upon discovering them, the men would shout "Whoopie!"
Whoopie pies can be wrapped and refrigerated up to 1 day in advance.
To make smaller sandwiches, use a smaller scoop. The Medium Scoop makes 24 sandwiches and bakes for 12-14 minutes per batch. The Small Scoop makes 48 sandwiches and bakes for 13-16 minutes per batch.
Recipe courtesy of The Pampered Chef
Ingredients:For the cookies:
3 cups (750 mL) all-purpose flour
1 tbsp (15 mL) Pampered Chef Cinnamon Plus Spice Blend (or 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon + 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg)
1 tsp (5 mL) baking powder
1 tsp (5 mL) baking soda
1 tsp (5 mL) salt
1 cup (250 mL) butter (2 sticks), softened
2 cups (500 mL) packed brown sugar
1 can (15 oz) solid pack pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling) (1¾ cups/425 mL)
2 eggs
1/2 tsp (2 mL) vanilla extract
1/2 cup (125 mL) toasted walnuts, coarsely chopped, dividedfor the filling:
3/4 cup (175 mL) butter (11/2 sticks), softened
2 oz (60 g) cream cheese, softened
1 cup (250 mL) powdered sugar
1 jar (7.5 oz/213 g) marshmallow creme
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line cookie sheet with parchment paper; set aside. In a large bowl, combine flour, spice blend, baking powder, baking soda and salt; mix well. In mixer, beat butter and brown sugar medium-high speed until creamy. Add pumpkin; beat until combined. Add eggs and vanilla; beat until light and fluffy. (Mixture will be thin, like a muffin batter.) Gradually add flour mixture; beat until well blended.
2. Using a large cookie scoop (about 2" diameter), scoop batter onto prepared Cookie Sheet 2 in. (5 cm) apart; slightly flatten cookies with back of scoop. Press half of the walnuts into half of the cookies. Bake 16-19 minutes or until cookies spring back when lightly pressed. Slide parchment and cookies onto cooling rack; cool completely. Repeat with remaining batter and walnuts.
3. Using clean beaters, beat together butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar and marshmallow cream on medium-high speed in until well blended. To assemble cookies, turn the cookies without nuts bottom side up. Using a clean, large cookie scoop, scoop filling onto each cookie bottom. Top with remaining cookies with walnuts, pressing down slightly so that the filling spreads to the edge. Wrap each cookie individually with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 30 minutes before serving.
My favorite Pampered Chef item is my pizza stone. I keep it in the oven at all times. It is durable and works beautifully!
Too many to choose just one… The forged cutlery is up there though!
Love the batter bowls – got 2 for Christmas last year and have used them tons!
My favorite is the pizza stone. It lives in our oven, but spends its summer vacations on the grill.
i love their can opener!
My favorite Pampered Chef item is the ice cream scoop that warms in your hand and scoops ice cream perfectly.
My fave PC item is my garlic press. 5 years and and running….
Their Bamboo wooden spoons. I love them! They are tough!
Oh yeah and the ice cream scoop ( just saw that posted above). That thing rocks.
My favorite PC item is the covered baker! You can make so many things in it and everything comes out fabulous!
LOL… after selling this stuff back in 95 I have a couple of things still around. I would have to say.. stupid as this sounds – the favorite is the spoonula. half spoon half spatula. I dont even know if they sell this anymore. It was that or the cutting board. LOVE the stuff.
I just put in an order for a few more things. I must say that my favorite things are my knives. I have the whole set. There isn't one that I don't love. Even the kitchen shears. LOVE THEM!!
would love to have the food chopper; my GF has one and raves about how it makes life so much easier . . . especially when chopping onions!
I love the stoneware, but I will not chop nuts without the food chopper (when I use a knife the nuts just go flying everywhere!).
I don't own any Pampered Chef items but the Reversible Bamboo Carving Board looks great!!
Definitely the garlic press.
Ohh I'm with you, I like the bowls too.!
I love their stoneware baker and bar pans.
use the batter bowls all the time – also love the stone with a lip on it
I love, love, LOVE the Pampered Chef scoop and serve spoons – I have five of them in different sizes and I love that I can use them on any pan and any heat level.
Frankly, I can't live without my chopper. There are other brands out there, but NONE compare. I use mine daily, more than that sometimes! There's nothing that baby won't chop. I don't have the bowls, darn, now I think I might have to invest in those too!
I don't have anything from pampered chef. I would love to try anything from their pots to their stainless steel collander.
I don't own any items from Pampered Chef as of yet, I have heard wonderful things about the stoneware/cookware – I actually have a long distance friend who raves about the items she gets from Pampered Chef.
I love using their adjustable measuring spoons!! It's so convenient and easy!
This will be tough, because I have so many Pampered Chef products. I use my batter bowls almost every day, ditto with my prep bowls, essential when I 'mise' a recipe (I'm a test cook) My baking stone lives in the oven, then there's the collapsible bowls that come in so handy on our boat, where storage space is at a premium! But… it would have to be the grapefruit knife. I know, I know, but there's nothing worse that trying to section a gorgeous grapefruit, only to have a substandard grapefruit knife butcher it! My Pampered Chef grapefruit knife does the job so well, that I bought extras & put them in my 3 daughters Christmas stockings a few years ago.
pizza stone… sadly I dont' know any consultants anymore.
oh man, i just broke my pampered chef pizza stone a couple weeks ago – had it for 10 years & absolutely LOVED it – & not just for pizza either!
I can't live without my PC scoops. I've got one in each size, and they are perfect for cookies and cupcakes and ice cream. LOVE them.
I absolutely love their measure-all cup. If you haven't tried it, you should. I'm sure you'd find you can't live without it
I love my spatula!
I have to pick just one? I'd have to say the garlic press (but the cookie scoops, corn butterer and holders are a pretty close second).
Really I would love any of it. but batter bowls, trifle bowl those would be top choices
Hi, I don't have any pampered chef items but I think I would love the pizza stone, the bowls do look good too!
I recently got the pizza stone from my friend's catalog show and love it! I love the look of the bamboo items too, though I don't own any.
I love my round sandwich cutter that seals the edges so the pb&j doesn't fall out- can be used for most anything that needs to be sealed. Ice cream scooper is the best, too!
the cookie press!
I don't have any Pampered Chef items… but I absolutely love that Trifle Bowl!
Just 2 days ago a friend and I were discussing cutlery and she was bragging on her 7″ Santoku from Pampered Chef. I actuallyput it on my wish list…. Jaden? WHoopie Pies Look yum!
I love my stoneware, bakes up perfect bread!
there are SO many that i love, but i LOVE my classic batter bowl the most. i use it for EVERYthing!
I've always enjoyed the Pampered Chef products I've purchased. I use the spoon spatula all the time! I would love the pizza stone – my son wants to try making pizzas!
The food chopper looks unbelievably handy, especially since living in a college dorm makes large appliances an impossibility for me!
Love everything Pampered Chef, but my favorite is the batter bowls!
The Pampered Chef food chopper………my all time favorite kitchen item!
I have a Pampered Chef Mandolin that I love and used for years. I'd like to have the middle size scoop for making all those Christmas cookies every year.
Ice Dipper- there is none other like it. LOVE IT!
I have SO many Pampered Chef favorites…hard to narrow to one! The clay loaf pan? I use it weekly for ABin5 loaves… The pizza stone, the only way to bake pizza! The mix 'n scraper, first choice when grabbing a spatula…I must use a dozen Pampered Chef items every week…and I haven't bought any in eons. Would love some new pieces!
I own almost every item Pampered Chef has ever made! All of it is top quality and very practical. My favorite item has to be the quick stir pitcher, because we use it every day! It is so easy to use and it fits perfectly in our fridge !!!The spatulas and their kitchen shears, their chopper and the mini spatula, the apple peeler/corer/slicer, and the pizza cutter are great favorites of my family too! Finally, dearest to my heart is my big batter bowl, not just because it is amazing to use, but becaue it was my first PC tool, and because it was a gift from my dear husband's dad and his lovely wife, Ginger! Every time I use it, I get a warm fuzzy reminder of what good food, made with love from families and friends, is all about.
Sounds so simple, but the pie server. What a great tool. I guard that like my life. Does not go out of the house. My second is my cutting board. I have had this for years and it does not stain or retain odors. Love it.
I love the wooden cooking spoons.
I don't have any of this product but I would LOVE to have it

I just looked at this again. Why does it break my heart a little?

Earlier this year, Habitat for Humanity of Dane County purchased 29 family unit lots in Sun Prairie and will be building homes in both the Uplands and Vandenburg Heights neighborhoods over the next several years, according to a press release. Habitat also recently purchased 24 lots in Fitchburg in the Renaissance in the Park neighborhood and three lots in Southwest Madison.
For individuals and families interested in building with Habitat for Humanity of Dane County starting in 2015, informational meetings will be held:
Warm weather in the 60s arrived this week, and with it, an advisory from fire officials on outdoor fire hazards that accompany the season.
The Madison Fire Department said ordinances do not permit burning yard waste. A fire within outdoor fireplaces or pits -- with spark arresters in use and fire extinguisher or water source nearby -- are permitted as long as it is attended by a responsible adult.
The fire department also offered reminders on other seasonal fire hazards:
Habitat for Humanity of Dane County will hold two meetings in April for families interested in partnering with the organization to become homeowners.
A meeting is scheduled at 2 p.m. on April 6 at Warner Park Community Recreation Center, 1625 Northport Dr. in Madison.
A second meeting will be held April 8 at 6 p.m. at the Colonial Club, 301 Blankenheim Lane in Sun Prairie.
HHDC acquired 29 family unit lots in Sun Prairie earlier this year and is currently seeking local families to participate.
The homes will be built in the Uplands and Vandenburg Heights neighborhoods, according to the Sun Prairie Star... Read More
Madison Streets Division crews will not be collecting garbage or recycling on Monday in observance of the Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday, according to a release.
Residents who normally have their garbage and recycling collected on Monday will have their material collected on Tuesday, officials said. On Tuesday, crews will collect garbage from residents in both the Monday and Tuesday garbage collection districts.
The Streets Division's offices and self-help drop off sites will also be closed on Monday, according to the release. The final round of Christmas tree collection will also start back up on Tuesday.
Residents should have their trees, storm-damaged wood debris and garbage and recycling out at the curb for collection by 7 a.m. on Tuesday to ensure collection.
Madison Water Utility officials are hoping a few quick tips will help residents avoid costly -- and dangerous pipe bursting accidents during the extreme cold.
According to a release, MWU has initiated emergency water shut-offs at six unoccupied homes because of burst pipes. But, officials say there are a few simple steps customers can take.
According to the release, all family members and household residents should know where the main water shut-off valve in the home is in case of a burst pipe.
The City of Madison Streets Division announced it will be prepping crews for clean-up now that leaves are starting to fall in Madison.
According to a release from the division, street crews will be working 10 hours a day starting Nov. 11 and are expected to work weekends if needed. There will be at least 20 crews cleaning streets all over town.
Residents are being asked to rake leaves to the curb as soon as possible so crews can pick them up.
In addition to fall leaves, crews will also be picking up garden waste and pumpkins as a part of the collection service. Mixed piles of brush and leaves will not be collected.
Residents can also bring leaves, brush and garden waste to the city's drop off sites at:
Sites are open every day of the week until 4:30 p.m. and until 8 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Sites will be open until Dec. 8.
Now in its second year, Gardening for Good has not only helped people with developmental disabilities share their stories and learn about gardening but has grown into a community on Madison's north side.
About 30 people gather from 6 to 7:30 p.m. each Thursday to water, weed and harvest 800 square feet in Troy Community Gardens. The events also feature half-hour workshops, on topics ranging from storytelling to bouquet making.
Rebecca Starke, program facilitator, said she originally thought the city might try to replicate the project at other community gardens after the program's first year.

It's like a party in your mouth!
John's Arm
John, the world's only city morgue night watchman with a superhero for a right arm!
The Grim Reaper Show
Death finally gets his own show and a chance to speak his mind.
In The Abyss all are doomed. Komjo is one of the creatures envolved in a morbid cicle. My world...
Based on one of Dave Firth character!
More Abyss will come!
Warning: This is not a dave firth tribute, this is a continuation of his character in his enviroment, this is not an atempt to copy or steal his work!
Great work
I really liked it it is a great flash keep it up! i cant wait for the next one!
I love it - It's just like the work of firth's, but darker.
I really like the way you set thing's out in the scene where the fly is focused upon - Looked really impressive.
Keep up the good work man, you have a LOT of talent with this style.
I like it
its great origanal in the idea but the character is obviously based on that kid thing out of salad fingers. I like this because its creepy... not scary but sufficiently creepy. What I found odd was that... no offence intended... the dog seemed a bit too cartoony and out of place, but if that was the idea you pulled it off well. I like how you have taken idea's from david firth and blended them with your own. Unfortunatly i viewed this with my younger sister and well she is now convinced a slimy tentacle monster is after her. Heh but oh well some chocolate should sort her out. I like how it had few sounds to give the idea of a barren wasteland. I might be quite twisted in a way for saying this but I found the ending image quite amusing.... hmmm... i must be strange
A great expansion on a little-known character.
Watch all the Salad fingers first though, then this. Great artwork, It could easily be mistaken for Firth himself's.
It wasn't terrible
But there should definately be more... I like how you took Komjo, and expanded on him, breathing more life and formulating your own ideas on his existent.
Hope you make more

Vivisimo, known for its clustering technology that automatically categorizes web search results on the fly, has launched Clusty, a new meta search engine with some novel and exciting features that are well worth a look. In addition to searching a number of web search engines, you can also use Clusty to search news, blogs, yellow pages listings, "gossip" sources and much more.
Today's SearchDay article, Reducing Information Overkill, covers Clusty's cool new features in depth.
Why the awkward name? Apart from being a play on the company's clustering technology, the domain name and its variations (.com, .net, etc) were available for a mere $9, according to Vivisimo CEO Raul Valdes-Perez. This is clearly a company not in any danger of flaming out due to extravagant excesses we saw during the heyday of the Dotcom craze.

It's lovely reading this great conversation spurred on by the article which I wrote for our blog, Hots and Dots.
I think I almost deleted that article at least 4 times. I know I rewrote it at least 3 times. I really didn't think anyone was interested in what I had to say and I thought other bloggers, who talk more about leveling and alts than I, would have the topic covered and then some!
My first instances were really bad too. I put a lot of pressure on myself to be perfect. I felt that everything I did announced to the group that I was a total noob. I don't think I enjoyed the first few instances I did. I certainly can't remember them well - they whole thing is a blur.
But I sucked at sapping. I know that! (ps. for you young Rogues out there, you can Distracting Shot so they pivot around and then sneak up and apply sap from behind - it's your best chance to not get seen)
It really does distress me to know that so many people are missing out on this part of the game - it's so fun!
Perhaps when the LFG Cross-Server system launches we can either (a) start a buddy system where 4 nice people take 1 inexperienced player into a dungeon or (b) start a 5 man group where all the players are inexperienced and they can muddle through together.
I know I'd be keen to set a time to do the first. I don't know if I can convince any of my mates to join me though! They're all in it for the loot!
Otherwise if you play on Barthilas (Oceanic, US) whisper Cassandri if you need a patient healer or DPS :)
