Kate Winslet is possibly rebounding with a hot male model. Kate and her husband, director Sam Mendes, split earlier this year amongst rumors of infidelity. There are whispers he was seducing one of his young ingenues Rebecca Hall. While both parties have denied this, it looks like Kate may have gotten the last laugh rebounding with a Burberry model named Louis Dowler.
more Kate Winslet and her model after the hop…
While the source (The News of the World) is anything but reliable, there may be at least a kernel of truth tucked in here somewhere.
"Louis has been spending a lot of time with Kate recently and they were in New York together while he was shooting an advert. They've been on lots of dates and get on really well. It's early days for them but they enjoy each other's company. They have been desperate to keep the relationship under wraps so they've been a bit low-key so far. Louis has a good sense of humour and really is a lovely guy. He loves to surf and he's really quite engaging and very down-to-earth. He's a good looking guy and gets lots of attention when he's out and about – but he's not your typical model. Not at all big-headed."
Why does it sound like Louis's PR manager wrote this? Eh, good for Kate if this is true – but it seems a bit far-fetched.

There is no word on which of these filmmakers may be the front runner at this time, but our report from October also noted that Terry Rossio (The Lone Ranger) had come aboard to rewrite the script. It isn't clear if the writer is starting from scratch, or if he is incorporating elements from previous drafts by Richard Wenk (The Expendables 2) and the writing team of Alex Litvak and Michael Finch (Predators).
The project is based on the 1980s animated TV series He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, which followed the mighty He-Man as he fights the evil Skeletor. Like the TV series, this live-action adaptation will be set on He-Man's home planet of Eternia. The 1987 live-action Masters of the Universe, which starred Dolph Lundgren as He-Man and Frank Langella as Skeletor, was set on Earth.
Masters of the Universe is in development .

Aaron Copland
Howard Pollack
The son of Russian immigrants, Aaron Copland (1900-1990) became America's most loved and esteemed composer. Commonly referred to as the American composer - 'the best we've got' in the words of Leonard Bernstein - Copland's music none the less has a large worldwide following of devoted listeners. Perennial favourites include such works as Fanfare for the Common Man , A Lincoln Portrait , the suites from Billy the Kid and Appalachian Spring . But the full richness of his accomplishments and the life that lay behind them have rarely been appreciated, and have never, until now, been thoroughly scrutinized and documented. Howard Pollack's meticulously researched biography explores Copland's life in engrossing detail, and includes informed and valuable discussions of his music. Moreover his interviews with Copland's relatives, colleagues, friends and former lovers have enabled him to engage candidly with the much-revered man.

If you didn't know, scones are one of they most flexible baked goods out there. You can make them sweet, savory, or anywhere in between. The dough is really flexible and you can incorporate a ton of stuff into it.
That said, some combinations obviously work better than others. So when I see a few ingredients that I think might work well together, I think to myself:
"I'd totally scone that."
In this case, I happened to walk by my pantry after my loving wife had reorganized it for me. She placed the pecans very close to the maple syrup and the first thing I said when I saw that shelf was, "I'm gonna scone that!"
And scone it I did.
Maple Pecan Scones
- 1/2 Cup pecans, ground (plus some for topping)
- 1 1/2 Cups all-purpose flour
- 1 Teaspoon salt
- 4 Teaspoons baking powder
- 2 Tablespoons sugar
- 6 Tablespoons butter, cold and cubed
- 2 Eggs
- 3/4 Cups cream (plus some for brushing on the scones)
- Maple Glaze:
- 1 Cup powdered sugar
- 3 Tablespoons maple syrup
- A drizzle of water
Helpful Equipment
- Food Processor (a Mini one works great)
1) Add 1/2 Cup of pecans to a processor and process it into a course flour.
2) Add pecan flour to large bowl with flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Then cut in cold butter until it's in small balls.
3) In a separate bowl, mix together eggs and cream.
4) Add liquid to dry ingredients and stir the dough together. Don't over-mix it!
5) Scoop dough out onto a well-floured surface and top with some flour also. Then roll it out until it's about 1/4 inch thick and cut it into shapes. I like circles for this recipe. You'll need to re-roll it once to get 10-12 scones probably.
6) Add scones to a few baking sheets lined with parchment paper and brush with cream. Top each scone with a few whole pecans.
7) Bake scones at 450 degrees for 8-10 minutes.
8) Let scones cool for a few minutes while you make glaze. For glaze, add a few tablespoons of syrup to powdered sugar. If it's thick still, add a drizzle of water.
9) Drizzle glaze over scones and serve them immediately! These are best the day they are made.
Making the dough
You have a few options when getting pecans in a scone. A lot of people might just chop them up and fold them into the batter, but I wanted a smoother texture. So I decided to make a pecan flour of sorts and then also top the scones with some whole pecans.
It worked great and I recommend it.
Use a processor of some sort (I use my mini one) to grind up about half a cup of pecans. You want them to be pretty fine, almost like a flour.
Then just add this pecan flour to a bowl.
Then add all your dry ingredients to the pecan flour and stir it together well.
Next, take your cubed butter and cut it into the dry mixture. I just use my (clean) fingers for this. Just kind of rub the butter until it resembles small peas in the mixture.
As an alternative method, you could use a larger processor and just make the whole dough batch in the processor! Just be careful that you don't over-process the butter.
In a separate bowl, mix together the cream and eggs. Then add this to the dry ingredients and stir it together until the dough comes together in a loose ball. It should be pretty wet.
Shaping the scones
Add a good amount of flour to a clean surface. Then turn out the dough, flour the top of the dough really well, and roll it out until it's about a quarter of an inch thick. I actually rolled mine a bit too thin.
Then you can cut these into any shape that you want really. I went with a circle for these guys.
You might have to re-roll your dough to get 10 or 12 scones out of the dough. When all your circles are cut, add them to a baking sheet (you'll need two probably) lined with parchment paper.
Then brush the scones with some cream and top them with a few whole pecans.
Baking the scones
Once these beauties are ready to go, bake them at 450 degrees for about 8-10 minutes. They should puff up slightly and be nice and golden brown around the edges.
Meanwhile, mix together your maple glaze if you're using it. This is as easy as adding some powdered sugar to a bowl with a few tablespoons of maple syrup. Stir it together until it's a thick syrup consistency. If it's too thick, add a drizzle of water to thin it out.
Once your scones come out of the oven, let them cool for a few minutes and then use a fork to drizzle the glaze all over all the scones.
I really liked the glaze on these guys, but you could leave it off.
Like I said, mine were a bit on the thin side, but man were they good. They were really flaky and had a lot of pecan flavor even though you couldn't see any pecans other than the big ones on top.
In terms of all things baking, scones are pretty easy and people are always impressed by them. So give these guys a shot and keep your eyes peeled for things that you'd like to scone!

I rescued a dog!!! I found this lil babe tied up behind a convenience store. There were people with him and they said he'd been there for over an hour, and he was barking the whole time. We talked to the police and they said nobody had reported him stolen or missing so we're pretty sure he was abandoned in the eighty degree weather. But my mom and I took him home and we're gonna take v good care of him. Also, we're calling him Charmy.
Makes me mad that someone would abandon this sweet senior pug in the heat! Glad he was rescued and now has the loving home he deserves!
This is a sad story but with a happy ending! I'm glad this pug found a new home!!!
Dog park? Dog park!
This song speaks to Rocket's soul.
I'm not sure when you messaged me (on the iPhone app and it doesn't say!) but hello! I'm so glad you enjoy my blog. :) Rocket is just a few months shy of 4 years old, and it always bothers me when people say pugs can't be active - if you keep them active and running, they will be active pugs! :)
Rocket says, "It's so EARLY, Mommy! Why are we awake? Lemme sleep for 5 more hours…"
And I died.
Rocket looks super comfy.
Rocket doesn't seem to understand that the dog park is for playing, not sunbathing.
Rocket is soooo sleepy!
Rocket is so sleepy she tucked her head into my armpit so she could block out the sun.

The Price of Dividends
Chris is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Dividends are a crazy thing. In a lot of cases, what you see in the stock screener and what you get from the company aren't even the same thing. Beyond that, some of the highest yields come at the highest costs, and I'm not talking about the share price. This article is about some companies that pay high dividends but that may end up losing you money. Don't make the mistake I used to.
For starters, I set my screener for stocks that pay upwards of a 10% dividend that had estimated earnings per share growth over the next one and five years. Like any earnings growth. I didn't get one match, and that's not promising. Hopefully that's just because the analysts aren't bothering with these companies. Yeah, let's be positive.
I turned down my hopes, opting for P/E ratios under 20 and beta as high as it may go (I was curious). I got some real whoppers this time.
Whiting USA Trust I (NYSE: WHX) produces a whopping 38.5% dividend. Take a moment to drool while you consider an investment that pays for itself in less than three years without regard for capital appreciation. Okay, control yourself. Why is the payout so high, particularly with price/book ratio of 2.6. Normally, a price/book isn't a huge reflection of a business, but this isn't a business; it's an ownership interest in oil and gas wells. The operation is conducted by Whiting's parent company, making this really strange. How can a higher-priced company still rock a crazy-high dividend? It's been paying steadily since May 2008, so it's not the regularity. Truth be known, I have a feeling that investors as a whole have been fleeing from Whiting because of doubts about its continued capacity to produce oil and natural gas, with a little extra worry tacked on because of the wild nature of commodity prices lately. I may have to look into this further, as I can't immediately see anything wrong. If I missed something, let me know in the comments.
Charm Communications (NASDAQ: CHRM) came up with a 31.2% dividend. Located in China, this is the largest TV ad company in its native country. The good news is that China has a huge market with TV accounting for nearly three quarters of all advertising. The bad news is two-fold. One, there are questions from a lot of investors about whether earnings reports from Chinese companies are actually reliable. As sad as it is, many countries have very little oversight that benefits individual investors. Secondly, this massive apparent dividend was a flash in the pan. It was paid in April of 2012, and it had neither precursor nor any indication that it would be repeated in the future. That's pretty sad, but it's also a good lesson on keeping your excitement down.
YPF Sociedad Anonima (NYSE: YPF) carries an awesome 30.7% dividend. With its 4 P/E ratio and .7 Price/Book, it looks nice. Unfortunately, I see two problems here just like I did with Charm. YPF is undergoing renationalization, which is pretty likely to take its earnings out of investor hands. On top of that, expecting a nice income from this company is a pretty rough ride because the dividend frequency has been all over the place. With four dividends per year (although at irregular dates) for years, the deal broke down in 2002. Since then, there have been several years with only a single dividend payment, and no year since 2002 has seen more than two payments. I care too much about my money to worry about it like this, so I'll pass.
Southern Copper (NYSE: SCCO) racks up a very respectable 28.5% dividend. It also boasts the Cananea mine in Mexico, with the longest remaining mine life of any open copper mine in the world if its production continues as it's been. Southern Copper is also ranked in the top ten companies on earth for copper mining and smelting. Beyond this, Southern Copper is also big into zinc, silver and molybdenum. So far so good. As well, Southern Copper has kept up its dividend on a reasonable quarterly basis since 1996. One piece of bad news, however, is that the dividend payout amount is completely up to the Board of Directors. In May 2012, it was $.53 per share. In August, it was $.24. If you're expecting a smooth and steady dividend, you're out of luck. Beyond that, Southern Copper's beta is 1.77, so the share price is pretty unpredictable. This is an antacid stock if ever I've seen one. The company's 16.71 P/E ratio and share price of 5 times book value mean it's not exactly a super-great deal, either. Again, I can do better.
I'm legitimately considering Whiting, though I will hesitate until I know why its parent company decided to spin it off into a trust the way it did. There's a lot more research to do before I can whole-heartedly recommend it. I can easily recommend, however, that you give the rest of the companies in this group a wide berth. A dividend in the hand is worth many in the bush, as the saying goes. Okay, it doesn't, but I remember how many "great" dividend-payers crashed and burned in 2008. Keep your head together, your research solid and your drool bib in place and you should be fine.

Controversial Past of Eden Gardens PitchKolkata's Eden Gardens pitch has always marred in controversy. Top 5 infamous cases (most involve Dhoni)...

4 IPL Opener, KKR vs DD, April 2012
Gautam Gambhir, ahead of their IPL clash against Delhi Daredevils on April 5, 2012, apparently wanted a sporting wicket that would assist his pace attack and not a slow turner.
He spoke to the curator Prabir Mukherjee didn't oblige. The veteran curator told reporters, "I'm not paid by them (KKR). A franchise has no say regarding the fitness of the ground. It's the association (CAB) that takes care of the ground".
KKR lost the game but Gautam Gambhir praised the Eden Gardens pitch generously.

Got (Record-High-Priced) Milk?Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/17/2014 - 15:24
Hot on the heels of yesterday's low PPI and this morning's falling CPI, we thought it worth noting (given The Fed's pre-occupation that inflation is running too low) that the price of milk - that staple of the American diet - just hit an all-time high. Nope, no inflation here...

The Fed's Laughable GDP "Forecast" Just Got Even FunnierSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 09/17/2014 - 14:47
What in January 2012 was a 2014 GDP forecast range of 3.7%-4.0% collapsed to 2.1%-2.3% in June (because clearly the Fed couldn't possibly forecast snow in the winter), and three months later is now 2.0%-2.2%. In short, a 43% forecasting error. That is all.

VIX Slammed Under 12, S&P To Record Highs As Yellen Starts To SpeakSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 09/17/2014 - 14:39
UPDATE: Stocks have roundtripped again since she started...
Having oscillated in a wide range immediately after the FOMC statement's release, stocks have decided that up is the way to go and the S&P 500 just hit new all-time record intraday highs (helped by a VIXnado collapse under 12 and surge in USDJPY). Treasury yields are higher, USDdollar is higher (but fading back from its initial spike), and gold and silver and unchanged.

Janet Yellen's "Double-Dissent, Exit Strategy" FOMC Press Conference - Live FeedSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 09/17/2014 - 14:25
Having used the most words ever in an FOMC statement to describe the total shenanigans that they have created, Janet Yellen prepares to 'meet the press' to explain how 'considerably' well things are going and yet how much 'considerably' more is needed to be done... For now the meme is that this statement is more dovish than the previous one; we suspect she will want to walk that back a little.

FOMC Keeps "Considerable" Wealth Effect Dream Alive, More See First Hike In 2015; Two Dissent - Full Statement ComparisonSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 09/17/2014 - 14:01
Perhaps not surprisingly - following Hilsenrath's 'leak' - the FOMC has decided to keep the "considerable time" language alive-and-well in its latest statement, supporting the uber-dovishness rate guidance as QE is tapered as expected:
Record high stocks, record low corp yields, surging GDP, PMIs soaring, housing and consumer sentiment exuberant, jobless claims at lows, JOLTS at highs, and the Apple iPhone 6 - if that doesn't draw Yellen to the middle, we don't know what will... but we are sure she'll explain in the press conference. Full redline below...
Pre-FOMC: S&P Futs 1992.00, 10Y 2.56%, Gold $1235, WTI $94.20, USDJPY 107.50

Abenomics Crushes Sony: Electronics Giant Forced To Cancel Dividend For First Time EverSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 09/17/2014 - 12:25
Minutes ago the Yen hit another multi-year low against the dollar, which sure enough, is great for the nominal value of Japanese stocks, if horrible for the actual Japanese companies, the Japanese middle class, and pretty much everyone except for a few superrich people. Such as Sony. Because the (now former) electronic giant, which once upon a time was the target of an activist campaign by none other than Dan Loeb who mysteriouly saw value in the company, once again stunned everyone when it reported overnight that it expects its annual loss to swell to $2 billion, but, far worse, canceled the payment of its dividend for the first time ever after writing down the value of its troubled smartphone business.

President Obama Delivers More Remarks - Live FeedSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 09/17/2014 - 12:10
Another day, another Presidential address. We wonder, popcorn-drooling-mouth agape, what the warmonger-in-chief will be talking about today as he delivers remarks at MacDill Air Force Base... Will it be a Fed hint (economy's doing great but we need to do more), Scottish DEpendence support, Anti-ISIS coalition propaganda, Ray Rice, Ebola-battling benefits, or standard vote-grabbing populist rhetoric? We will have to wait and see...

BofA Stopped Out Of EURUSD Short: Stolper 2.0 Strikes AgainSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 09/17/2014 - 12:09
There is no point in lamenting the disappearance of the gospel of that god among FX gods, Goldmans' Tom Stolper, whose fades generated anyone who did the opposite of his recos nearly 15,000 pips in profits over the years. It is time to move on... and start doing the same to his peer at Bank of America, the firm's head chartist, MacNeill Curry, aka Stolper 2.0, who incidentally was just stopped out of his EURUSD short.

ISIS Releases New Video, Warns "Fighting Has Just Begun"Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/17/2014 - 11:50
The Islamic State/ISIS/ISIL has released its initial 'rebuff' propaganda response to President Obama's declaration of war against the 'non-islamic' terrorist organization. The brief video entitled "Flames of War" is shot like a blockbuster-movie-style trailer and threatens US troops and the White House. As Politico reports, the militant terror group vows that the "fighting has just begun" in the minute-long video, which features clips of American military forces under fire and a wounded U.S. soldier being taken from the battlefield. The video concludes as the words "Flames of War" flash on the screen, followed by "Fighting has just begun" and ends ominously: "Coming Soon." Even more concerning perhaps is al-Qaeda branches calling for all jihadists to unite against the common threat from a US-led coalition.

Why King Coal Will Keep Its CrownSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 09/17/2014 - 11:24
For climate change activists and those hoping for an energy future dominated by renewables or even less-polluting natural gas, the death of coal cannot come quickly enough. But with coal still the dominant form of cheap electricity throughout the world, it is unlikely the bogeyman of climate change will disappear anytime soon.

What The "Porsche Indicator" Tells Us About The Greek "Recovery"Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/17/2014 - 10:59
As the "Big Mac Index" is to global purchase price parity levels of inflation, so when it comes to the state of the "recovery" if not for everyone, then certainly for the 0.1%, there is no better metric than the "Porsche Indicator." Recall: "Porsche Reports Record Sales in 2013; 21 Percent Increase Over 2012" which certainly didn't come on the back of yet another year of declines in real incomes for the middle class (spoiler alert: it came on the back of some $10 trillion in liquidty injections by the world's central banks). Yet one place where the "Porsche" recovery forgot to make landfall, is none other than the biggest casualty of Europe's artificial monetary, political and wealth-transferring union: insolvent Greece.

Designers are individuals.
Ask a designer what the best solution for a particular problem is and you're likely to hear everyone's favorite answer: it depends.
And it's true. It's not that they can't come up with an answer. It's that the answer to most design questions are dependent on numerous factors.
Based on the question, the answer could depend on who your users are and their expectations or behaviors. It might depend on where and in what context or setting they'll be using your product. Maybe it depends on what your business goals are and how they conflict or align with your user's goals. Or possibly, it depends on the other interactions that users have with your product or service and how they relate to the question at hand. It could be one of these things, it could be a combination. The list goes on…
Know what else it depends on?… It depends on which designer you ask.
Design, while it draws conclusions from various sciences, is not concrete. It's open to interpretation. The more I work in this field the more I've come to see it as a type of informed decision making that, as a designer matures, is guided by philosophy and style.
It's these two elements that fascinate me most about designers (and creatives in general). Because in the business world of UX Design (and many other design worlds) there doesn't seem to be a whole heck of a lot of interest in, or room to talk about, a designer's style. At least not in my experience.
Now I'm not talking about the design community and all the various clubs and cliques that make it up. God knows that differences in style and philosophy come up all over the place there, even if it's not directly cited. Hell, if we couldn't talk about anything that arises out of differences in the community, I think designers would all start mistaking each other for mutes.
But see, this is a challenge for design teams, particularly design agencies and consultancies. These groups are trying to build a brand around both how and what they design. This is who they are. This is how they become known to potential clients. But, give every designer in an agency the same problem to solve and chances are they'll come up with a different solution. More than that, they're likely to take a different path in getting there.
On my own team I know that I have a very different style and approach than more than a few of my teammates. Some differences are small, some are friggin' ginormous. And as I talk to other designers, I hear them talking about the differences on their teams as well.
Differences are good though, right? Why is this a problem?
Well, the first problem is repeatability. Imagine you have a repeat client. On one project they work with one designer, and on a second a different designer. Over the course of the second project, the new designer will make recommendations based both on research (hopefully) and their style. But their style doesn't quite match that of the designer the client worked with last time, so something doesn't jive.
Depending on the client's attentiveness, they may pick up on it. The client didn't hire each designer on their own, they hired the agency. One agency. Why two different answers?
Often, where I've seen this play out is in deliverables. Sure most teams, agencies, consultancies, etc have templates, but often a designer has some say about what information and contents to include and how.
So again, a client engages with the same agency for two or more projects, with some of the same deliverables listed in each of them. But because each project has a different designer, each with their own approach and philosophy, those deliverables come out quite a bit different.
And trust me, these things happen. I've seen it. I've heard about it. And I've felt it.
The second problem is, of course, identity. It's great to be able to build a strong brand on the work you've done. Or, more appropriately, the output of the work you've done. Because very often, that's what people are looking at and remembering. But more and more now, we talk about pulling back the covers and talking about our processes; about what kind of thinking went into something and how decisions were made. And holy f**k, if that's not important. But it is friggin' hard to build an identity based on these things when there can be so much variation between the people actually doing the work.
So what's the answer to these challenges?
Well, most often, what I see is groups trying to lock shit up. Deliverables become so locked in that if you want to include something not already there or change something, you're shit outta luck.
And processes become so blanket-based that designers begin struggling. Because either they're forced to do things that don't fit with their approach (which would allow them to produce better results) or they're kept from doing the added things they think the project needs, because the process doesn't allow for it. Everything just becomes this pre-defined, step-by-step, fill-in-the-blanks, assembly line of design.
Recently, Ryan Carson wrote a post titled Hitting 40 Employees And Going Vanilla on his observations of teams genericizing things as they get bigger. He doesn't cite differences in style as a reason for this, but I think it is as much as the reasons he does cite.
The funny thing is that, when I talk about this challenge to other designers, their comments lead me to believe that they would in-fact, LOVE this vanilla, genericized mode of working. They just want it based on their style, their approach, their philosophy.
I do think that plain-vanilla is a bad path. But I also think that these differences present quite a challenge to teams. Particularly larger ones that still want to build their brand on not only the work they've produced, but the people producing it. Ignoring differences in the styles of the designers working under the same organization can waken or confuse that organizations identity. And increasingly what I see is individual designer's brands becoming more recognized than that of the organization they work for.
Maybe it's not a challenge that can ever be solved particularly well.
Maybe it's a good thing that I often hear designers talking about what it'll be like when they go solo or start their own firm.
Maybe breaking down large groups into individuals and smaller teams with much more cohesive identities will put a spotlight on the differences in our approaches and beliefs and lead clients to choose us based on those; not the fact that we can run a usability study with our eyes closed, crank out some nice wireframes with our hands behind our backs, or map out a site-map/task-flow/user-journey as easily a we can spell our own names.
Or maybe not.
I think that's probably enough of my rambling for one night. Congratulations on making it to the end. Even more-so if you were able to make sense of it :)

Students who are sage (characterized by profound wisdom and sound judgment) know that citations to Wikipedia do not make a helpful impression on professors. But it's also wise to save time by getting some quick background on a topic before diving into your research. One answer to this paradox? SAGE eReference Encyclopedias
When to use SAGE:
• Can't think of a topic for a research project – try browsing the contents list for ideas
• Starting research on an unfamiliar topic – get specific terms (and spelling!), names, dates, and places
• Need to narrow a broad topic – find out the important issues and controversies
• Trying to win a bar bet – quick, easy, and accessible from anywhere
SAGE e-Reference is only one of a huge set of online resources. If it doesn't pan out for your project, see the Research Guides or Ask A Librarian by phone, email, text, or instant message.

I keep reading about how good bulletproof coffe is for you. I was just doing some research and apparently you should only be using coffee with no mold. Where do you get your mold free coffee from? I live in Canada, so not sure if it will be as easily accessable to me. Also, what do you put in yours? And where did you get it from? thanks!!!

I use a very strong columbian coffee with 1T of unsalted grain free butter and 1T of coconut oil. I also throw in about 2T coconut milk with about 1tsp of either cinnamon or nutmeg. Blend it in my magic bullet and good to go. Absolutely delish and comes out very frothy.

Here are 10 Health Benefits of Cinnamon that may make you want to include it in your diet every day.
Cinnamon Powder and Sticks
Lower Cholesterol
Studies have shown that just 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon per day can lower LDL cholesterol.
Blood Sugar Regulation
Several studies suggest that cinnamon may have a regulatory effect on blood sugar, making it especially beneficial for people with Type 2 diabetes.
Yeast Infection Help
In some studies, cinnamon has shown an amazing ability to stop medication-resistant yeast infections.
Cancer Prevention
In a study published by researchers at the U.S. Department of Agriculture in Maryland, cinnamon reduced the proliferation of leukemia and lymphoma cancer cells.
It has an anti-clotting effect on the blood.
Arthritis Relief
In a study at Copenhagen University, patients given half a teaspoon of cinnamon powder combined with one tablespoon of honey every morning before breakfast had significant relief in arthritis pain after one week and could walk without pain within one month.
When added to food, it inhibits bacterial growth and food spoilage, making it a natural food preservative.
Brain Health
One study found that smelling cinnamon boosts cognitive function and memory.
E. Coli Fighter
Researchers at Kansas State University found that cinnamon fights the E. coli bacteria in unpasteurized juices.
High in Nutrients
It is a great source of manganese, fiber, iron, and calcium.

You can of course buy them from bulletproof executive.. or buy only high mountain beans, preferably arabaca. Another option is to roast your own green high mountain beans affordably, that is what I'm considering.

I applied through a recruiter - interviewed at Iron Mountain Inc in May 2014.Interview Details
I initially had a phone interview with Field Recruiting for Iron Mountain's North American Operations. The phone interview went well and it led to a face to face interview with 4 people from the Iron Mountain. I interviewed with the four people, two at a time in a conference room. The interviews went well and I was complemented on being prepared. The people I met were open, friendly (during our meeting) and I sent each of the interviewers a follow up email to thank them for the opportunity to talk with them about the position. I also reaffirmed my interest. I received one response thanking me for the preparation and interview and saying I would be notified of their decision. I believe 4 people were being interviewed that day. That's where the professionalism stopped. I did not hear anything back from any of the five people who interviewed for Iron Mountain. I followed up again in a week to ten days via email. No Response (from anyone)! I followed up again , this time with a phone call and left a message. No Response. I followed up again with no response.
My conclusion. They are either too busy to be professional or aren't professionals. Unfortunately it left me with a bad feeling about Iron Mountain's lack of professionalism.Interview Questions

There has been some uncertainty as to what the Church of Scotland General Assembly actually voted for, and against, on the issue of coupled same-sex ministers and related issues. on Monday 23 May 2011.
Hopefully, Ekklesia's report makes this clear: http://www.ekklesia.co.uk/node/14829 [1]
In addition to the Kirk's own statement (http://www.churchofscotland.org.uk/news_and_events/news/latest/church_vo... [2]), there is a good summary of what was decided on the Affirmation Scotland (http://www.affirmationscotland.org.uk/ [3]) website. Briefly, Assembly voted to:
* Continue the moratorium on the selection and training for ministry of those in same-sex relationships, until the report of a Theological Commission in May 2013.
* Maintain the unlawfulness of discrimination in the Church on grounds of sexual orientation.
* Permit the induction to a charge of a minister or deacon who is in a same-sex relationship and who was ordained before 2009 (an interim measure until 2013.).
* Appoint a Theological Commission, representative of the breadth of the church, to prepare a report on the theological issues raised by the debate.
Affirmation Scotland (AS) comments that the real significance is that "the Assembly voted to steer a course heading in the direction of a more inclusive church, the momentum and substance of this to be worked out by the Theological Commission, and of course subsequent debates and decisions of the Assembly."
AS continues: "This substance will include matters such as: marriage, same-sex relationships and civil partnerships; the blessing, or otherwise of civil partnerships; selection for training of those in civil partnerships and the consequences.
"It's important to realise that The Church of Scotland has only resolved to move in a direction towards the possibility of treating lesbian and gay people (in relationships) as equals to heterosexual people – it's not there yet. Therefore, there is still a need for prayer, discussion and discernment – and a need for gay and lesbian folk in the church to tell their stories and witness to their faith.
"The Church of Scotland now acknowledges and accepts that it has (more than one!) lesbian and gay ministers, deacons, elders and members – some of whom are in relationships. Significantly, however, no-one who spoke in the debate said that they were gay, lesbian or in a same-sex relationship. Clearly, there is still a sense of insecurity and, for many people, the knowledge that the floor of the Assembly is not the best place to come out. There are nevertheless a good number of congregations who know that their minister is gay or lesbian, and perhaps in a relationship; and their ministries are valued by parishes and individuals."
Simon Barrow is co-director of Ekklesia. He is reporting from the Church of Scotland General Assembly meeting in Edinburgh this week.

While the Wipons are leveraged to the hilt, this offseason has been a textbook case about how a team and a general manager use leverage (or have it used against them.) While TNT canceled the TV show тАЬLeverage,тАЭ that word is still being used more today than IтАЩm guessing any of us would have imagined just five years ago. So, what is leverage? The dictionary definition is as follows: 1. a. The action of a lever. b. The mechanical advantage of a lever. 2. Positional advantage; power to act effectively: тАЬstarted his . . . career with far more social leverage than his father had enjoyedтАЭ (Doris Kearns Goodwin). 3. The use of credit or borrowed funds to improve oneтАЩs speculative capacity and increase the rate of return from an investment, as in buying securities on margin. WeтАЩre focused more on the definitions listed second and third, although at this point it shouldnтАЩt surprise us if the first definition makes it into our sports lexicon soon, too.

A man struck by a car along East Main Street on Friday afternoon is listed in good condition at a local hospital, according to Meriden Police.
Police were called to 72 East Main Street shortly after noon for a report of a pedestrian hit by a car. At the scene, police found 62-year-old Martin Rosado of Meriden lying unconscious in the west bound lane of traffic.
Police say Rosado was hit by a PT Cruiser driven by Albert Levesque, who remained at the scene and does not face any charges. Rosado was taken to Hartford Hospital with a head injury.
An investigation revealed that Rosado was attempting to cross the street when he fell backwards into the direction of Levesque's vehicle, which was traveling at a slow rate of speed, police say.
Responding officers could smell the odor of alcohol on Rosado's breath, according to Lt. Thomas Cossette, who said that the accident happened about 30 feet from a crosswalk.
As a result, Rosado was cited for improper use of a highway by a pedestrian.
The accident remains under investigation.

Intestinal Rehabilitation Team
The Intestinal Rehabilitation Team, made up of pediatric gastroenterologists, surgeons, registered dietitians, and nurses, provides comprehensive care to infants, children, adolescents and their families with complex intestinal disorders that lead to short bowel syndrome (SBS) and intestinal failure (IF).
Short bowel syndrome is the leading cause of IF in children. It is best described as a state of malabsorption after the removal of a section of the small intestine with symptoms such as diarrhea and fluid and electrolyte imbalances. Intestinal failure occurs when a child's intestines cannot digest enough nutrients and fluids to support his or her growth and development.
Intestinal rehabilitation is the process of weaning parenteral nutrition (TPN) while providing calories via the enteral route (or the stomach) by way of gastrostomy tube. During this process, our team ensures that the child is growing appropriately for his or her age and staying adequately hydrated. In addition, we closely monitor the health of each child's liver by manipulating TPN based on clinical evaluation. Connecticut Children's multidisciplinary team of intestinal rehabilitation experts optimize success and minimize complications associated with IF by:
- Managing and calculating TPN requirements based on age-appropriate standards to optimize growth, while minimizing risks associated with intestinal failure associated liver disease
- Prescribing and advancing enteral nutrition based on weekly clinical evaluations with skilled providers
- Monitoring laboratory values of electrolytes, vitamin and minerals
- Maintenance of care supplies and collaboration with home care company
- Prescribing leading therapies such as small bowel bacterial overgrowth medication, ethanol lock therapy and cycling TPN
The process of intestinal rehabilitation can be a long and difficult road for families. The IRT team at Connecticut Children's provides patient- and family-centered care and offers support to families throughout this process.

Charice Launched Her 1st International Single "A Note to God" on Oprah
The powerhouse young vocalist has a powerhouse team for her debut album which include Grammy award-winning Diane Warren (writer of monster hits like I Don't Want to Miss a Thing, Unbreak My Heart, Because You Love Me and How Do I Live), the legendary David Foster (album producer of Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, etc.) and the most influential woman Oprah Winfrey.
On the May 18 (Monday) episode of the Oprah Winfrey Show, Charice performed her first US single entitled "A Note to God." She was teary eyed as she belted out the last part of the song amid cheers and applause from the audience. It also brought Oprah to tears.
Charice was accompanied by an orchestra and a choir with David Foster playing on the piano. Some critics compared the performance to an American Idol finale where the audience are having goosebumps while listening to the song. Even before Charice hit the final note, the audience were already in standing ovation.
Oprah could only utter "wow" while Diane Warren described Charice's performance as "amazing" and "beautiful."
David Foster, on the other hand, said: "In my world, this only happens two to three times probably in my lifetime. And I work with a lot of people. So, this is one of those two to three moments… she just sings so beautifully."
Senator Bong Revilla Called Hayden Kho as "A Pervert of the Highest Kind"
According to the Senator, the act of taking hidden footage of the naked ladies while having sex was a complete insult to any woman's self-respect. What troubled him most was the fact that a doctor was behind all of it.
As part of his speech, Senator Bong said, "Ang isang doktor ay kailangang maging kagalang-galang sa kaniyang pagkilos. Kailangang respetuhin niya ang dangal ng lahat, at tratuhin ng may respeto ang bawat tao. Paano mo ipagkakatiwala ang anak mong babae sa ganitong doktor? If you ask me, wala sa tamang pag-iisip ang taong ito, and according to the Medical Act, this doctor can also be punished for insanity. Buwang itong doktor na ito, baliw."
Senator Bong continued his rant against the doctor saying that the female celebrity has been saying "sorry" for the incident for the past few weeks, "pero 'ni minsan, itong manyak na ito ay hindi humingi ng paumanhin."
In addition, he also informed the Senate that he has written to the PRC (Philippine Regulatory Commission) to request that they revoke Hayden's license and ban him from his medical practices.
Maricar Reyes - Hayden Kho Video Scandal
The alleged video is now making a rounds in the cyberspace.

Maricar Reyes was first seen (aside from these alleged sex video) on ABS-CBN's teleserye "I Love Betty La Fea" as John Lloyd Cruz' first love and is now Ahron Villena's loveteam in Precious Hearts Romances Presents: Bud Brothers.

Now the big question is, will Amy Nobleza and Philip Nadela get the same good international career exposure with that of Charice? Calling Ellen de Generes...calling Oprah Winfrey...calling David Foster.

Candy Pangilinan is Baguio City's "Persona Non Grata"
This drew strong criticisms from the Igorot community. According to Atty. Jose Molintas, a member of the United Nations Human Rights Council, Candy's statement is an etchic slur and an insults to the Igorots.
In a special session held by the Baguio City council on Friday, Pangilinan was declared "unwelcome visitor" by a majority vote. This motion also banned Candy's movies from being shown in the city's theaters.
Appearing weary and tearful before cameras on Thursday (watch it HERE), Pangilinan said she regretted her blunder. She said she delivered the line incorrectly due to lack of sleep and rest, since she had just flown back to the country from Guam.
"If you were there and had finished the show, you would have heard me acknowledge my blunder. I apologized and explained myself. I even went on to uplift the Benguet or Igorot community," she said.

The special Roots to Riches covers the Songbird's climb from her humble start as a budding singer joining every amateur contest in her town in Malabon to her Bagong Kampeon days and to where she is now.
She adds, "Sana maraming makapanood. I realized na my life story is very inspiring pala. Especially to those young people who aspire to one day become a star."

Vista Style Networking Icons for Network Applications
Publishers Description:
Looking to bring a fresh face to your next networking-oriented application? These stock vista icons can give you the glossy look and feel you desire, but with the custom touch that only unique, pixel-perfect designs can provide. When considering an in-house solution, it's important to factor in the tedious detailed-oriented handiwork that goes into developing a vista icon package in all the sizes needed for modern development. Instead, save both time and money by purchasing a pre-packaged stock icon solution from Professional-Icons.com. You'll find all the sizes and formats needed for gorgeous toolbars, ribbonbars, treeviews, listviews, and much more. With sizes like 16x and 32x, you can easily toggle between resolutions based on the amount of visual real estate. This is a popular concept utilized by modern toolbars such as the tab-based Microsoft ribbonbar. Each size is hand optimized to ensure clarity and the perfect amount of detail. This is especially important with more realistic styles such as with Windows Vista Icons. Many vendors are content auto-resizing a high-resolution image, which leaves a poor undecipherable result. Our process is quite different, treating each size as it's own icon, updating each accordingly while still maintaining the original characteristics of the high resolution image. See the difference that a high-quality icon stock can make to your application's interface.
