Blake Shelton hosts 'SNL'
Not many country stars can say they've hosted "Saturday Night Live," but Blake Shelton can. In fact, he joined a list that includes only Garth Brooks, Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton and Taylor Swift as those who have pulled double duty as both host and guest on the same program.
Shelton hosted the live telecast of 'SNL' on January 24, 2015 from NBC's famous Studio H-8, winning the crowd over with his opening monologue and even making it through a critically panned intentionally bad country song titled "The Wishing Boot." He saved his best performance of the night for his renditions of "Neon Light" and "Boys 'Round Here," but his acting was nothing to shake a stick at. In fact, just days after showing off his acting skills it was reported that Shelton will costar in an upcoming Adam Sandler movie.
Shelton will reportedly play Arizona sheriff Wyatt Earp in the Western spoof "Ridiculous 6," the first of four original movies that Sandler is producing for Netflix.
On the music front, Shelton's ninth studio album, "Bringing Back the Sunshine," bowed back on September 30, 2014. It debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's all genre Top 200 and Top Country albums charts with first week sales of over 100,000 in the United States. The lead single, "Neon Light," went to to the top of the US Country Airplay chart, and the follow-up "Lonely Tonight," featuring Ashley Monroe, was inside the Top 10 as of this writing.
Shelton will resume touring next month, with a kickoff at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo on March 19.
Blake Shelton takes his 'Medicine'
Blake Shelton wants to make sure you take your medicine. Be forewarned though, it doesn't really lean too country.
Shelton teams up with fellow "The Voice" judge Shakira on a new song called "Medicine," which debuted on March 25 as part of the latter's self-titled album. And while Shakira is well-known for her dominance in the pop/dance and Latin arenas, it's hard to call her stretch here a "crossover" into a new genre. Yes, the track is penned by Hillary Lindsey and Mark Wright, but we're not quite sure it should get the 'country' stamp otherwise.
New duet partners aren't the only thing Blake has on his mind these days. He's currently up and running with season 6 of "The Voice," recently took his fourth spin on the RodeoHouston stage (playing to more than 75,000 fans), and is getting set to once again cost the Academy of Country Music (ACM) Awards with fellow crooner Luke Bryan on April 6 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
It was also recently announced that Shelton (along with the likes of wife Miranda Lambert, as well as Rascal Flatts, Jason Alden, Dierks Bentley, Lady Antebellum, Keith Urban, Eric Church, and so many more) will play at LP Field as part of the 2014 CMA Music Festival. The event will run Thursday through Sunday, June 5-8, in downtown Nashville. Shelton, along with the other artists announced, is certainly no stranger to the festival, having performed on the LP Field Stage in past years.
Blake Shelton finds his 'Voice' (Updated February 6, 2013)
If it's possible to capture a moment in time – or in this case, roughly 3 calendar years – and live them over and over again, Blake Shelton would probably love that opportunity. The last 1,095 days (2010- and 2012, specifically) have been the best of Shelton's life, both personally and professionally. From his marriage to fellow country superstar Miranda Lambert to a plethora of Number One songs and accolades, Shelton is riding high not just on the country music scene, but as an international sensation.
Following the success of the duet "Hillbilly Bone" with Trace Adkins in early 2010, Shelton carried that momentum into his own music. He released "All About Tonight" (a radio-friendly party anthem) as part of an EP in August, watched it climb to the top of the charts, then officially joined the Grand Ole Opry the following month. The icing on the cake was his remake of the title track for "Footloose" in October, becoming a judge/coach on the NBC television series "The Voice," then capturing the Male Vocalist of the Year at the 44th annual Country Music Association (CMA) awards in November.
Shelton released his sixth studio album, "Red River Blue," in the summer of 2011. Every single released from the album went to No. 1, starting with "Honey Bee" and ending with "Over." The latter was his seventh consecutive No. 1 overall and the 12th of his career. The lucky streak carried over onto "The Voice," where the winners of seasons 2 and 3 of the hit show came from Shelton's team. Finally, in February 2012, he took the stage with his wife at Super Bowl XLVI to sing "America the Beautiful."
At 12:02 on New Year's Day 2013, Shelton premiered a new single called "Sure Be Cool If You Did," which was officially released for digital download a week later. A new album will drop in the spring (release date to-be-determined) and he'll hit the road for the "Ten Times Crazier" tour beginning July 19 in Virginia Beach, Va. Joining him on the road will be Easton Corbin and Jana Kramer.

1 cup
rolled oats
1/3 cup
1 cup
boiling water
3/4 cup
2 teaspoons
white sugar
2 teaspoons
beef bouillon granules
1/2 cup
1 cup
shredded Cheddar cheese
egg, beaten
3 cups
whole wheat flour
My dog loves em. This one was recommended to me by a friend, and she suggested omitting the cheese and bouillon and adding 1 cup peanut butter. Makes for a better dough too. :)
NOTE: SHORT SHELF LIFE. Unlike the biscuits you buy from the store which are good indefinitely, these are more like people cookies. I made a full batch for my little dog and had to throw most of it away after a few weeks because it turned hard and mildewed. Cut the portions down, or else freeze some of the dough or biscuits.

I have used this recipe twice for fund raisers. The treats sold like hotcakes with the proceeds going to The United Way both times. The feedback I got from dog owners was STUPENDOUS! DOGS LOVE THESE TREATS!!! One lady told me she was given a few of these by a co-worker and took them home in her purse. When she got home, her dog literally dragged her purse across the floor trying to get to them. I substitute Jiffy cornbread mix for the cornmeal (& eliminate the sugar). I also have used chicken bouillon. To cut down on work for me, I always buy the large bags of sharp shredded cheese (Kraft). This is a little more cheese than the recipe calls for, but works great. This makes a large batch, so just divide appropriately and freeze the rest for later. Bow Wow!
Seemed to work out pretty well, but my vet told me that cornmeal isn't good for dogs, so I'm not sure if I'll make it again.
I make these cookies every other week. Here are some things to consider: Cornmeal is NOT good for dogs. I omit it, and add some extra oats and whole wheat flour instead. Also, instead of white sugar I prefer to use honey. Other than that it's a great recipe, just play around with it. Most importantly: If you don't have the time to roll out the dough and use cookie cutters, shape it into 2 logs, roll 'em up in waxpaper, and put 'em in the freezer for a couple of hours. Cut the log into 1/2 inch slices, place the slices on a cookie sheet, and bake them as directed. Saves a lot of time, and it's a 'no mess, no fuss' solution. Just a thought...Thanks for reading.
I made many changes to this but it's a winner for sure! I subbed the cornmeal as corn is not good for most dogs and put nutritional yeast in it's place as it tastes cheesy but is loaded with B vitamins to repel mosquitoes and fleas, I subbed the cheddar for Mozzarella (lower in fat), I added a second egg to make them softer, eliminated the sugar, subbed margarine for olive oil (no trans fats) and lowered the cheese as I was using the yeast so it only needed 3/4 cup cheese. I tested these on all the dogs today at our fund raiser for 4-H dog project and got 100% approval - over 20 dogs (even very "finiky" ones that are "not food motivated") loved these treats! With the changes, they are LOADED with healthy fats and nutrients. I also used Omega 3 eggs (as I feed my chickens flax so they pass on the good fats in the eggs). Even with all the subs - it was an excellent recipe. Next time I'll try it with rice flour for gluten intolerant dogs. Thanks for this one - I'll bake it for our fundraisers.
We made these and gave them to all our friends with dogs, everyone LOVED them! Did omit the milk and added 1/3 cup peanut butter and 1/2 cup chicken broth, makes a GREAT easy to work with dough. Stored in the refrigerator, and they are a GREAT inexpensive dog treat to make!
This was a very easy recipie to work with! The dough was great and not sticky at all!!! But caution, check cookies every 10 minutes. Certain different pans might cook quicker! You can find all sorts of cookie cutters (including bone shape) at Michaels Craft Store! I bake a few dozen for all my doggie clients every Christmas! (I'm a groomer!)

Aerin L. shared the following story with us about her dog Scout's rough start as an abandoned puppy, his subsequent recovery and his happy adoption:
Scout, a black Pit Bull-Chow mix, was found with his three brothers—all around four-months-old—emaciated, close to death, coated in fleas and ticks, and suffering from severe cases of Demodex mange. The shelter that was called in to rescue the puppies said it was the worst case of mange they had ever seen. Scout in particular had not a strand of hair on his body, was covered in fleas and ticks, and his eyes were swollen shut.
A woman who operated a rescue in the Chicago area fostered Scout, then known as LoveBug. When we went to the rescue to look at another dog, we met Scout. He was described as a sweet, fast learning, calm dog.
We adopted him and learned that his personality was far from what we anticipated. Untrained except for the command sit, we enlisted the help of a dog trainer who taught him "down," "heel," "go potty," "wait," "stay," and more. She socialized him and helped him work through his fear of cars.
My plan is to work with Scout so he can achieve the "Canine Good Citizenship Award" before enrolling him as a therapy dog at children's hospitals. I think children—especially those with cancer—will be able to connect with him. I hope they see his remarkable, and almost impossible, recovery as something they can look forward to. He's alive, well and happy.
Scout can help me educate the public about how loving Pit Bulls are and disprove the myths associated with the breed.

Dear Ms. Vicki,
I'm at a troublesome part in my life. Yes, I got married at an early age -- well, really I was forced into it.
My best friend and I were dating, and we ended up having our first child. Then he enlisted and was told due to current laws in that state we either A) had to get married or B) adopt his own child for her to be covered.
At that time, we were still rocky and I never wanted to get married. I was eventually guilted into it. Now all I feel is regret.
A year ago, I reconnected with an old friend. Needless to say, I ended up developing feelings for him. I just don't know what to do in my current situation. I've gone through hell and back for this other guy. He has broken my heart and lied to me, yet I still love him.
My husband has no clue. I care for my spouse, but I don't feel for him what I do for this other guy! I don't know what to do. My husband and I are actually better when we're not around each other. He's been deployed twice and during deployments everything's fine, but when he's home we fight ALL the time!
I don't want to be like my parents and end up unhappy for the rest of my life but then I'm scared that if I leave, things will fall through with the other guy and no man will want someone who has two kids already. PLEASE HELP!!!
Dear Anonymous,
So you were forced to get married when you were younger. You already have two children. You get along better with your husband when he is deployed. You are not in love with your husband you are in love with someone else who has already taken you to hell and back. ... Whew!
And you wonder if you will be better off with the other guy? I don't think so. From the details you gave me in your letter, you know the grass isn't greener on the other side.
I understand you don't want to be like your parents and be unhappy for the rest of your life, but it sounds like you are jumping from the frying pan into the fire. On a global level, you are like millions of people who regret some decisions they have made and wish they could go back and change them. Me too.
Only we can't change the past. We have to learn from our mistakes because "life happens."
Now I will be the first one to admit that I have been in the pits before, but I'm also the type of person who will ponder my ways so I won't make the same mistake again.
You sound like the type of person who beats themselves up when they make mistakes. You have to know if you do this, you will continue to dig yourself deeper into the pit. As you get deeper, it affects your judgment and reasoning. You will become impulsive and make more decisions that are not good for you. It will affect your self-esteem and self-worth and soon you will wonder if you even deserve a good loving relationship.
You do deserve a good loving relationship. But it sounds like you need to work on "you" first. Don't jump into another relationship now.
Lastly, something tells me that you may have other hurts or fears that you did not mention in your letter. I would really recommend counseling either way. Counseling will provide support for you and also help you examine your situation more clearly and strategize how to change it. I wish you the best.
Ms. Vicki

Erdnase's master book, The Expert at the Card Table, is considered to be one of the best books on the subject by many card experts. The techniques revealed are truly incredible.
The one problem with the book, however, is that Erdnase's style is difficult to understand and, for many magicians, this means the techniques are almost impossible to execute. Magicians have been waiting for decades for someone to show them exactly how these brilliant and ingenius moves should look and, more importantly, how to perform them correctly.
At last the secrets of Erdnase are unlocked! Underground card expert, Wesley James, is finally releasing the most clear and comprehensive work on Erdnase, and so much more! On this seven DVD set you will not only see everything from the book, but also learn to perfect it from a master teacher. In addition, Wesley gives you his own handlings and insights on the moves. With co-host Simon Lovell, he will guide you step by step through the ground-breaking text that made Erdnase a legend.
Plus there's more! This special combo set includes a reprint of the impossible-to-find book The Expert at the Card Table! Yes, you will receive a beautifully produced copy of the actual book that inspired this seven DVD set.
With DVD technology, learning magic is easier than ever. By freezing frames and jumping to specific explanations and performances, it becomes simple to master the fundamentals of these marvelous magic tricks.
Here is the demo from the manufacturer:

The purpose of the Dell OpenManage Linux Repository is to distribute all Official Dell Software.
The repository contains an extract of all of the drivers in Server Assistant. Because Dell develops, tests, and ships drivers on a per-platform basis, the Server Assistant media contains a cross-reference for the drivers belonging to each system. We have extracted these drivers into a series of system-specific yum repositories.
Because this repository is based on the Server Assistant content, it contains drivers only for the Dell PowerEdge Server series. Also, because Server Assistant only supports RHEL 6, RHEL 7, SLES 11, and SLES12, those are the only operating systems currently supported in this repository. (For more info, see CentOS note below)
Server Assistant background: Dell ships media with each PowerEdge server, one of which contains Server Assistant. Server Assistant will assist you in re-installing the operating system on your Dell PowerEdge server. This media contains all of the updated drivers and RPMs that are installed in the Dell factory.
The CD containing Server Assistant has been called various things, "Dell Server Assistant CD" (DSA), the "Dell Installation and Server Management CD" (ISM), and "Systems Build and Update Utility" (SBUU).
We expect that in the future, as we get a better way to get the drivers for Precision workstations, we will be able to post drivers for Precision. And, of course, as Dell expands its Linux offerings, we expect to post other platform specific stuff here as well.
All systems supported by OM 8.1 Server Assistant are suppored by this repo. The version of Server Assistant carried on OM 8.1 was used to create this repo.
This repository supports Dell systems running the following Linux operating systems:
Note: "rebuilt" versions of the above such as CentOS or ScientificLinux *should* work. Please report problems to the mailing list and we will (unofficially) try to make these OSes work if there are problems.
Community distros like Fedora and OpenSUSE are not tested with this repository. Since most of the kernel drivers in this repository are in DKMS format, community distros may work. Please report problems to the mailing list and we will try to fix the issue or find a workaround. There is no guarantee that these will be fixed.
Of particular note, the following operating systems have problems:
RHEL 4 Gold: Yum support in the up2date version delivered in RHEL4 Gold appears to be broken. Please update up2date to a later version
RHEL 3: RHEL3 has been unsupported by OMSA for several releases now. Additionally, this repository requires yum 2.4.x or higher. The available versions of yum for CentOS and RHEL 3 are not new enough to work. Specifically, they dont understand the 'mirrorlist' directive, nor do they have the plugin API necessary to set the system id.
Fedora: The community releases are officially unsupported in this repository. You can, however, fake it by editing the yum config and changing "fc" to "el5". This is completely unsupported. If it breaks you can keep all the pieces.
Debian/Ubuntu: You can find unsupported builds here.
Centos/Scientific: See the relevant note under .Supported Operating Systems.
These instructions work for RHEL5, RHEL6, CentOS, Scientific Linux.
You can install yum as an addon for SLES9/10, and these instructions will work as well.
NOTE 1: The version of yum distributed on CentOS 3 by default is too old (yum 2.0.8). You will need to upgrade to a yum 2.4.x version in order to use these repositories. The older version of yum does not support plugins or mirrorlists, which are required for these repos to work.
NOTE 2: If you use yum with CentOS, or Scientific Linux, you must enable plugins in order for the repositories to function correctly. The system connects to a system-specific repository using a yum plugin, which, if not enabled, will not work properly and you will not be able to install packages from the OMSA repository. Add the line, 'plugins=1' to your yum.conf if it is not already there.
wget -q -O - http://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/latest/bootstrap.cgi | bash
yum install srvadmin-all
NOTE: You can install OMSA on all Linux systems even if the server is not supported. However, complete functionality is not guaranteed.
These instructions work for SLES11 and higher using zypper.
wget -q -O - http://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/latest/bootstrap.cgi | bash
zypper install srvadmin-all
NOTE 1: You can install OMSA on all Linux systems even if the server is not supported. However, complete functionality is not guaranteed.
Please see the Frequently Asked Questions page.
This repository contains RPMS for Dell OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA). Currently, OMSA is supported only on RHEL 6, RHEL 7, SLES 11 and SLES 12. The best way to install OMSA is to install the srvadmin-all metapackage, which installs all OMSA components.
Documentation for OMSA 8.1 is here:
OMSA Documentation Index
To install all OMSA components using using yum (on RHEL 6,RHEL 7 and CentOS ):
yum install **Meta-Package (select from list below)**
The following meta packages are provided:
This repository is an official distribution method. For support questions related to this package repository, see the appropriate mailing list at linux-poweredge. Please monitor the mailing list for status messages and announcements concerning this repository.
Rsync is now available. The rsync address is: rsync://linux.dell.com/repo
Recommended rsync command:
rsync -avHz linux.dell.com::repo/hardware .
You can manage the OMSA repositories with Red Hat Network Satellite Server, Spacewalk or SUSE Manager, by importing them as child channels and subscribing any registered Dell systems to the correct child channel.

Enjoying chocolate as part of a well-balanced diet might keep you happy and healthy. Not only does chocolate please the palate, but it also contains flavanols, a subclass of flavonoids, which studies have shown are associated with a decreased risk of heart disease. Flavonoids can prevent oxidation, decrease cancer cell growth and enhance the immune system. Studies also suggest that flavanol-rich cocoa might inhibit platelet activity and delay blood clotting, promoting better blood flow.
Some chocolates can provide significant amounts of a number of essential nutrients and are a rich source of flavonoids. However, because flavonols can make chocolate taste bitter, manufacturers remove them from most commercially available chocolates. The dark, less sweet chocolate, unlike the milk chocolate more common in the United States, shows some potential antioxidant properties and promotes healthy blood flow. It is not classified as a health food, however, because of its high calories and fat and sugar content.
Many people enjoy chocolate for its flavor and texture, though it is typically viewed as a confectionary food with little nutritional value, providing only calories and fats. While chocolate contains stearic acid, a saturated fat, it does not raise cholesterol levels like other saturated fats. In addition, oleic acid, a monounsaturated fat, makes up one-third of the fat in chocolate, which might be beneficial for heart health.
Including flavonoid-rich dark chocolate in small amounts might promote cardiovascular benefits and allow for greater flexibility and adherence to healthy eating. Keep in mind, though, that all fat is high in calories, and therefore should be enjoyed in moderation. If not eaten in moderation, it might contribute to a weight gain, in turn increasing the risk for heart disease.
Don't forget those fruits and vegetables! They contain flavonoids as well, are low in fat and calories and are packed with vitamins, minerals and fiber. You should enjoy them frequently through the day.
Satisfying your chocolate craving with one or two pieces of chocolate might be just the trick to maintaining healthy eating. Consider Hershey's Special Dark or Dove Dark Chocolate Promises as treats now and then. For more information, read "The Sweet Lure of Chocolate."
