Theatre & Film Internships
Get Course Credit for Your Internship
The Department of Theatre & Film at The University of Toledo recognizes the educational value of the use of Theatre and Film/Video studies outside the traditional classroom, allowing for professional application of theory and practical skills. The Department therefore provides credit and guidance for registered majors who engage in internships related to theatre or film/video/television.
You are not required to obtain an internship to graduate. You may be interested to know, however, that many students who obtain and succeed in internships not only gain valuable real world experience, they also develop contacts and relationships that lead to employment after graduation.
The course number for film is FILM 4940, for Theatre it is THR 4940. Internships earn 3 credit hours, which requires a minimum of 120 hours of work over a semester with the company or organization offering the internship.

Enrolling in the Course
Before enrolling in the course you need to complete the required paperwork (see links on this web page), and obtain permission from the internship faculty adviser (the instructor assigned to the course for a particular semester). To find the instructor for the course each semester, simply perform a course search for FILM 4940 or THR 4940 from your myUT, or ask in the department's main office.
- Be a declared major in the department
- Have junior or senior standing
- Have at least a 2.5 GPA
- Have the approval of the internship faculty adviser (course instructor)
An internship is a serious responsibility. Only those who are truly dedicated, hard working, and reliable should attempt an internship.
Always keep in mind that when you have an internship, you are representing the department and the university – and your classmates. Poor performance will adversely affect how students from the department and University are seen in the industry – and future internship and even employment opportunities could be lost to not only yourself, but to others as well.
Conversely, good performance can significantly aid the department, the University, and future students in finding internships and gainful employment.
Paid and Unpaid Internships
Regardless of the size of company or its reputation, some internships pay, some do not. Some provide travel and/or room and board, some do not. You will simply have to look through them and decide what you can do.
Regardless of whether they are paid or unpaid, you could consider the cost of doing an internship as an investment in your education and future, much like paying for tuition and living expenses at college.
The Department of Theatre and Film actively seeks partnerships with theatre and film organizations in Toledo and beyond. When internship opportunities arise, the department will inform the studnets. That said, students are also encouraged to seek out internship opportunities on their own. To learn how to do this, students are encouraged to seek guidance from their faculty advisors.
There are many ways to find and apply for internships. The following describes a number which have worked for students.

Major Studio and Network Sites
The major studios and networks, such as NBC, TW, Disney, and MTV, have their own sites for applying for internships. Even better, when you apply once by uploading your information, some of them send your application to all of their divisions, channels and affiliates.
Entertainment Industry Directories and Databases
One of the best ways to contact smaller companies, agencies and support companies is to purchase or subscribe to a directory or database. Some of the most comprehensive and respected of these are:
- Hollywood Creative Directory (and Blu-Book Production Directory)
- Search "Hollywood Blu-Book" for latest copies
- Entertainment Power Players
- IMDbPro
There are number of associations (such as guilds, unions, foundations, film festivals, and other agencies) that offer internships. For example, see:
- The Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Foundation
- Creative Minds
- Actors Theatre of Louisville
- Search "Internships in Dramaturgy"
Direct Communication
Use whatever source you can find, even a phone book, and find theaters, agents, studios, production companies, television stations, etcetera, and call or email them – just ask if they have internship opportunities, and if so, ask how you should apply. It's that simple – hard work at times – but simple. This can work for any city you may be interested in working.
Just Ask
You certainly don't have to have an uncle in the biz to get an internship, most of our students do not – but if you do know anyone who is in any way at all related to your field, ask them – do they know of anyone who might offer internships? Do they have any advice?
The Internship Experience – Tips & Behavior
What do companies expect of an intern? What can you expect to be doing? How can you get the most out of your internship? Internships come in many forms. They can include actual production work, work in development offices or agencies, on a studio lot or stage, on location or strictly in an office.
The majority of internships put students in positions similar to production assistants or even personal assistants. Do not be surprised if you end up bringing people coffee. If you do well, you could move up quickly, and you will gain invaluable contacts and experience.
Some tips to keep in mind when in an internship. Be on time – always. Keep an eye on the person you work directly under – but don't hover. Keep your distance, but try to anticipate their needs without smothering them. Know how to stay out of the way – but not too far. Be cautious about initiating idle conversation with people you don't know – but when asked something, don't be shy! Be attentive, and mostly, be interested and interesting.

Cover Letters and Resumes
Have a general cover letter and resume prepared for applying to internships – but always tweak them for each internship, prove that you have done some research into their company (like looking at their web sites), and cater the letter and resume to the particular company and the kind of position they are seeking.
Letters of Recommendation
Some internships applications require letters of recommendation (between one and three usually). Your instructors in the department are here to help. You may also want to collect some generic letters from a previous or current employer or two.
Help Your Friends!

In 1992, I used to stay at the Summers Apartments, a group of townhouses next to the historic Summers Hotel, home of the legendary Subway Lounge. One morning, I woke up and one of my neighbors was standing in the parking lot. When I asked what he was doing, all he did was point and say, "I think that is a body over there." Needless to say that caught my attention.
We walked over and sure enough it was. A man balled up in the fetal position, having been stabbed. A little later in the year, a good friend of mine, having become a new father, was relaxing at my apartment, watching the Lakers play. I noticed this huge scar on his shoulder and he said that was one of four gun shots he had received in a robbery attempt a couple of years before. He was shot with a .44 Magnum and survived.
Two weeks after the conversation, he was killed by one .22 caliber bullet over a $10 watch he won in a card game. Seems the owner wanted it back. That was the most horrific year in Jackson history as we nearly approached 100 homicides that year. In a city as small as Jackson, every homicide has an impact on a number of people, but that year it seemed like death was all around us. I did not feel comfortable at parties nor in my own home, as someone had tried to break in on a Sunday morning I played hookie from church.
It was a terrible feeling. I felt overwhelmed and powerless. I was on my way to serve in the Marine Corps full-time and I had left politics in the past, having lost an election the year before. But these personal events plus the movement to elect an African-American mayor of Jackson led me back to the cause that God put me on earth to fulfill. I thought about how the prophet Jonah had tried to abdicate his responsibility and ended up in the belly of the whale. It seemed as though my "whale" was Jackson, and its deteriorating status.
I got back involved, managing Henry Kirksey's campaign the following year and being a voice for change, especially through activities serving on the local NAACP board. Up until this November, I had never looked back. Now as I contemplate what role to take in the future of Mississippi politics, as well as prioritizing my personal life, 73 people have been murdered in my adopted hometown.
Michael Corleone once said, "Every time I try to get out, they pull me back in." I understand.
Human beings are going to be base creatures, especially when enlightenment is an ideal and not a lifestyle, but why do we feel that we have to resolve disagreements, especially with loved ones, in such a destructive manner? The police cannot attend every family get-together in the city, therefore it is up to people to show restraint. A better financed, better educated police force can deal with the true criminal element, but it is up to us to make sure family disputes don't escalate to deadly violence.
I don't have a quick fix solution to this dilemma. I have children I am responsible for and I pray that no harm comes to them. I have to teach them how to resolve conflicts without violence. But I cannot do that for every child in Mississippi, let alone Jackson. That is a responsibility EVERY citizen must take upon themselves for their own family members. One woman got on TV and said that she would pray for a safer city. However, while pray changes things, the Bible also says, "Faith without works is dead."
It is time to get off our knees. It is time to stop turning our heads away from the problem. It is time to get involved, one household at a time. As expressed in an earlier blog, many people are concerned about President Obama's safety. Well, he has the Secret Service 24-7. What do we have? Hopefully in 2009, I can safely say, "each other."

In a city like Melbourne, many people enjoy spending time sitting in the open in their courtyard or the garden, and it is time well spent. If you have such a facility, and you are keen to buy some designer outdoor furniture market has today, look around for the best sources. These come in attractive designs and construction, and you could actually be spoilt for choice. However, it will all boil down to your own tastes, the space you have to place the furniture and of course your budget.
Durability and Quality Matter a Lot
While choosing furniture for the outdoors, you would want to consider many factors. The material the furniture is made of is important because they would be subject to a lot more strain, being exposed to the vagaries of the open air outside. The base and the frame are normally of teak wood or coated aluminium. Then there would be the upholstery and the fabric on top. The manufacturers of designer outdoor furniture take care to use the best material that is quite durable and has a long life. Durability is critical and some of the manufacturers offer warranty for many years, even up to 15 years.
Best Option to Select Outdoor Furniture Online
However, if you are living in one part of Victoria and if the outdoor furniture outlets are quite a distance away, you might feel lazy driving all the way up there to inspect the models and then make the choice. And then each shop might stock only one brand, and you will need to spend a lot of time going around many outlets before you find what you like. By the time you are done choosing the designer outdoor furniture, you might reach a level of frustration. The better option would be to find sources online, which sell outdoor furniture. Here, you will find many different manufacturers of designer furniture for outdoor use, displaying their range of furniture, and you can spend time going through all of them. What's more, you can do this at your leisure sitting in the comfort of your home, or in your courtyard, if you will!
Choose Each Piece with Care
Since you are not under any pressure of a sales person to egg you on to pick a chair here or a table there, you can be sure of what you are going in for. You can first browse through all the images of all the designs that you can get online. Then, maybe, you can make a mix and match and arrive at what your garden or the outdoor of your home will look like and simply place the order for the designer outdoor furniture stores sell you have wanted to own.
Once the choices have been made, and you have the designer outdoor furniture websites sell placed, and you have started using them, you should also take proper care of them. As mentioned, these items of furniture last a long time, only if you care for them. Each material used in finishing the furniture will require a different way of cleaning. Study these ways of cleaning and maintaining the furniture, and you can enjoy them forever, well almost.

Valley Fever (Coccidioidomycosis)
If you live in an area that is dry and has low rainfall, you may be at risk of a fungal infection known as valley fever. Although it may not sound so alarming, it is a serious fungal infection that should be treated as soon as possible.
Valley fever, also known as coccidioidomycosis, is caused by the Coccidioides immitis or Coccidioides posadasii fungi, which thrive in alkaline desert soils and areas with mild winters and dry, arid summers. They are mostly found in southern Arizona, Nevada, northern Mexico, Central America and the San Joaquin Valley in California (hence the name of the disease).
Valley fever symptoms happen when an individual inhales the spores of the fungus, and the organism takes host in the lungs. Spores can be easily spread into the air and dust via construction, walking or the wind, so it is estimated that 30-60 percent of individuals living in parts endemic to the fungus have been exposed to the organism. While in most cases, valley fever goes away by itself, acute and serious cases can cause further complications if the fungus moves from the lungs to other parts of the body causing other medical problems.
Signs And symptoms
Since the disease is most commonly caused via inhalation of the fungal spores, signs can appear as little as 7 days after exposure. Initial symptoms are similar to that of flu and may include:
- Fever
- Cough
- Headache
- Chest pains of differing levels
- Chills and night sweats
- Muscle aches
- Fatigue
- Shortness of breath
- Spotty, red skin rash on the upper body or limbs
- Joint pain in the knees or ankles
Symptoms of valley fever may worsen and turn chronic. They mostly resemble symptoms of tuberculosis or pneumonia and can be extremely uncomfortable. Some of such signs include:
- Low grade fever
- Weight loss
- Persistent cough
- Persistent chest pains
- Blood colored or laced sputum
- Nodules in the lungs that appear to look like tumors
Since the body can sometimes clear itself of the fungus, symptoms can go away after a week or so, although it is always recommended to seek medical attention. However, if it persists past three weeks, seek medical care immediately to get rid of the fungus in your system. If the fungus moves to another part of your body, it can cause further medical complications.
Risks Of Dissemination
If signs and symptoms are not treated properly, valley fever can migrate, or disseminate, to other parts of the body and cause other very serious medical complications. Most of the time, the organism will migrate from the lungs to the skin, bones, liver, brain, heart and the meninges (membrane that protect the nervous system). Dissemination of the fungus can cause debilitating, and even life threatening conditions. Some risks include:
- Meningitis, a serious infection of the membranes of the brain and spinal cord, which can become deadly
- Spinal, bone, and skull lesions that are extremely painful
- Skin lesions, including nodules and ulcers. They can also be accompanied by other skin diseases due to the compromised state
- Severe and chronic pneumonia, which can become fatal to those who have weak or defected immune systems
- Bone or joint infection, including painful swellings
- Heart inflammation
- Urinary tract problems
- Ruptured lung nodules, which are extremely painful and makes it difficult to breathe
If you are a person at higher risk of getting valley fever, be sure to take note of initial symptoms and seek medical care to avoid fungal dissemination.
Risk Factors
Here are some people who may be at higher risk of contracting valley fever than others:
- People with compromised immune systems (such as individuals with HIV or cancer)
- People who received organ transplants
- Pregnant women
- People who utilizes chronic corticosteroid therapy
- People who live or travel to southwestern regions of the United States
- Native Americans, Hispanics, and Asians have higher levels of dissemination
- Men have higher dissemination levels than women
There are currently no preventative methods against valley fever, except to stay away from endemic regions.
Usually, valley fever goes away by itself in otherwise generally healthy individuals. Otherwise, doctors can prescribe a variety of antifungal medications to help clear the organism. Therapy may vary depending on the individual and the length of time a certain medication is taken. So far, there are no over the counter options for treating valley fever, so it is best to seek medical opinion if there are suspicions of valley fever.
Now that you know about this disease, be sure to take precautions if you are planning a trip to high-risk regions in the United States.


text: Terms of Use Privacy Policy Hide ENTERTAINMENT Guy Gear Valve Steam Box Valve Steam Box The Future Of Gaming Is Here Victor Krull March 5, 2012 Share Tweet Flip 0 Shares It looks like Valve is hoping to expand on the incredible popularity of its Steam gaming service. For those unfamiliar with Steam, it was one of the first (and best) cloud-based software delivery and syncing schemes released long before the App Store and iCloud were on everyone's lips. It's been dubbed the "Steam Box," and rumors have it that the console isn't so much a console as it is a PC hardware spec that companies can use as a base for developing their own console product. Valve won't actually distribute anything and will just license this console-friendly version of Steam, designed with a USB gaming controller in mind, and, presumably, will take a little dosh off the top for old pop-pop. Expect Netflix to be somewhat on edge today, as it sees this as an effort to compete with OnLive, the streaming game service that has been picking up, er, steam. Also, with Apple getting into the TV biz and presumably running apps and games out of the box, companies like Samsung are going to inevitably find themselves getting into the games business to compete. A more PC-like gaming approach might be the best way to jump clear past unimpressive Android and iOS games that have been shoehorned onto a television screen. As long as I don't have to reinstall DirectX every time I install a game — one of the more tedious aspects of Steam on Windows — count me in as a fan of the idea.

Late summer is always an important time in the maintenance of a lawn. This is the time to turn brown patches into healthy green grass and also to think about planting new grass next season. According to local Connecticut paper, the Record Journal, end of summer is the perfect time for repairing lawns. As the temperatures drop, lawns are once again in optimal growing conditions, creating a good opportunity to fix whatever needs fixing.
When it comes to brown patches, finding out whether these are due to drought stress or insects, is an important first step. If insects are the problem, insecticide application is the solution. Once the insecticide is watered in, fertilize the area and water. When a lawn suffers from drought stress, the lawn will grow back green, but unless your summer was exceptionally hot, you can expect that the brown patch problem will be seasonal. In that case, it makes sense to think about whether you can address the problem directly. One solution is to research other grass types for that section of your lawn. Mixing in a more heat tolerant type of grass, the brown section could keep its health and greenness.
One way to find out if a brown patch has been affected by heat or bugs is to take a small clump of grass in your hand. If the roots have rotted away, you can be sure that insects have colonized this section of your lawn. If the roots are basically still there, heat is the answer. If ground temperature drops low enough from the summer heights, replanting can take place immediately. The perfect ground temperature for grass is between 55 degrees and 66 degrees, and grass only takes seven to ten days to come in. If you feel you have that window of opportunity before the onset of colder temperatures, replanting can begin immediately. Source

But it is wise to stop and think, because if you do, there are plenty of ways you can save.
Be real about risks
It is easy for those who invested in the first approach mentioned mock travel risk cover. It's easy to have all that could (but probably will not) go wrong
fire. But, especially if you are traveling with children, this spot can backfire, and if something really goes wrong, and you're off to the stress and the
loss of face on your own, you can regret not taking the right kind of insurance plan . Knowing your risks and realistic about them does not mean living in
panic or bruises the spirit of adventure; It means preparing, just like you would prepare to slather yourself in sunscreen for your up-and-coming beach tan!
Air Travel and Families
It is not so complicated
There is an overwhelming reason why so many people shun travel cover. The time it takes to delve into the details of a policy and procedures document can be
quite mundane and seemingly as a waste of valuable time. Essentially this preparation need not be burdensome though. The advent of online technology, solid
and diversified insurers, many of whom have been endorsed by major institutions means that an offer is just a click away. After that, it's a matter of
tailor the plan to your exact needs.

Two of the sluggers who helped the Cleveland Indians reach the World Series in 1995 and 1997 - then later left Cleveland as free agents - are together again.
The Los Angeles Dodgers acquired Jim Thome from the Chicago White Sox in exchange for a minor leaguer late Monday night, after Thome had cleared waivers.
He joins outfielder Manny Ramirez on the National League West-leading Dodgers, whose third baseman, Casey Blake, is another former Indian.
Thome, 39, is Cleveland's all-time home run leader (334) and 12th (564) among baseball's career leaders. Ramirez, 37, stands third (236) on the Indians leader list and 15th (542) among baseball's all-time leaders.
Thome has been almost exclusively a designated hitter - playing four games at first base - since Chicago acquired him via trade from the Philadelphia Phillies after the 2005 season. He now goes to the NL, which does not use a designated hitter.
ESPN, with information from Associated Press, reports:
Dodgers general manager Ned Colleti envisions Thome playing a role similar to the one Matt Stairs filled for the World Series champion Phillies last year -- he hit a key (pinch-hit) home run against the Dodgers in the NLCS.
"We're not bringing him over here to play first base," Colleti said. "We're bringing him here to come off the bench and be a great influence in the clubhouse. He's one of the true great guys in the game.
"In fact, the night before the deadline he called me. ... He just said: 'I just want to be honest with you. I'd love to come. I want to help you guys any way I can. But playing first base is not something I'm going to be able to do -- maybe in an emergency situation, perhaps.'"
Thome left Cleveland to sign with Philadelphia as a free agent on Dec. 6, 2002. Ramirez left the Indians on Dec. 19, 2000, and signed as a free agent with the Boston Red Sox.

In the video, DOATEC CEO Helena Douglas gives a televised address. DOATEC is the shady corporation that runs the fighting tournaments at the center of each DoA game. During Douglas' announcement, we see brief footage of each character reacting to the news.

Could SAT reading scores be dropping because . . .
Students aren't reading?
The usual suspects have been rounded up to comment on the latest drop in SAT reading scores. Standardized tests are at fault; schools are destroying a love of reading. Poverty is at fault. Diverse test takers are at fault, or, in blunter terms, more minority and disadvantaged kids are taking the test and driving down the scores.
Standardized tests take the rap for most education failures these days. I personally think much of this discussion fails to distinguish between "teaching to the test" and acknowledging what tests reveal. But I agree that students don't learn to read by taking practice reading comprehension tests. They learn to read by . . . . reading.
So I applauded a blog post by Anthony Rebora in Education Week's Teacher website. After reviewing the litany of explanations (and providing some useful inks), he suggests:
"One potential factor we haven't seen mentioned, however, is the question of whether kids today–perhaps especially kids who are on the college-going cusp–just aren't doing enough quality independent reading. A much-talked-about National Endowment for the Arts report from 2004 warned about a general decline in literary reading among young adults. More anecdotally, the widely respected author and English teacher Kelly Gallagher recently told us he has seen a "very large change" in kids' reading habits in his 25 years in the classroom, particularly in the past 10 years: "Students are reading a lot less."
That's my unscientific classroom observation as well. Electronic media has replaced books in the lives of many students. And maybe this should give a little pause to the many educational reformers who see computer-based online education as the wave of the future.
For those of us who came of age before the Internet (or even, gasp, personal computers), the Internet is a vast library available at just a click, without the waiting time and trouble of interlibrary loan. But many of my students don't see computer-based education that way. They get irked when I ask them to read an article in PDF form — without video content, without game-like interaction. Maybe there's simply a transitional generation that still distinguishes between electronic and print media, and feels a little cheated when an electronic assignments turns out to be, well, reading. Or maybe the next generation of students will have little connection with books at all.
In our rush to recapture what seems our students' waning attention with interactive, video-based computer instruction, are we accelerating this trend?
As I've said before, I teach online, and I believe that online classes can expand educational choice and opportunity. But those of us engaged in this enterprise need to be careful that we're helping students read more thoughtfully and interact with their readings more actively. . . and not just giving them an excuse to retreat from the written word.

While we usually bring you great information about the city, or fabulous recipes, or outstanding accommodations and service, today we bring you an historic recap of one of the city's finest bed and breakfasts. The Mauger Estate B&B is centrally located in the heart of the city, and has a rich history. This property is on the city's historic walking tour:
A rare and exceptional pet friendly bed and breakfast, with one dog friendly room in the main house and two dog friendly townhouses, dogs and their owners love our delightful accommodations and amenities.
The story of the Mauger Estate B&B history is enchanting, and makes this Albquerque B&B a great find.
Maude Talbot, the daughter of a local tavern owner and wholesale liquor distributor, ordered the residence constructed in 1897 at a cost of $1,600. Maude soon returned to her native New York after selling the home to William E. Mauger and his wife, Brittania. The Maugers', a prominent Boston family, purchased the property in 1907 for $4,350. In 1912 they bought the lot to the west and added the two-story sleeping porch.
W.E. Mauger owned the Raabe & Mauger Hardware store on 1st Street, but his primary business was buying raw wool from the Indians and shipping it back to Boston for resale. The Wool Room, now a gracious bedroom on the B&B's second floor, was originally an office for the wool business records.
W.E. Mauger died in April of 1923 and Brittania Mauger continued to live at the Estate until 1932. Mrs. Mauger then moved to a smaller house on Maple Street where she died in 1970 at the age of 102. The residence was sold after the Mauger's passed, and was poorly maintained for many years. It was almost condemned when it was bought by Richard and Utta Carleno and beautifully restored in the early 1980's.
The Mauger Estate B&B is a classic example of Queen Anne style architecture. It has been brilliantly restored with careful attention to detail, preserving many of the original features including etched glass and finely refinished woodwork. The inn features a parlor/sitting room, a beautiful indoor-outdoor dining room, stunning suites and cozy bedrooms (including one with a special doggy door and private yard), and a sunny breakfast room in what was once the home's sleeping porch.
The Estate was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. Come see us soon and experience why so many people return to this beautiful historic bed and breakfast, where sleep is delicious!

Paella is a well-known Spanish dish that has made it's way around the globe. While it originated in Valencia, Spain and is still unique to the area, variations of the recipe are now created all over the world. Since I will be traveling to Spain in 2 short months, I decided to learn how to prepare my own paella.
I started by reading several different recipes for the dish on various sites, both formal and informal. What I found was there is no definitive recipe for paella. Not only do the majority of the protein-rich ingredients depend on personal preference, but every style of preparation seems to vary from another.
I found Spanish blogs (in English), such as Taste of Sundays, proudly sharing detailed, personal family recipes. I found vague descriptions of variations of the traditional paella recipe on blogs such as this. I even found how-to video tutorials by Spanish chef's specializing in paella, like the one seen below.
I did come to find a few staple ingredients that continually make their way into the authentic dish. Paella rice -which I found out the hard way is not labeled in the local grocery store, as paella rice at all- is one of the staples to any variation of the recipe. Bomba and Arborio are the most commonly used rices. Saffron is another necessity when preparing anything close to the authentic styled paella.
Paella was originally a farmers' and farm laborers' food. The workers cooked the dish over an open fire using rice and whatever ingredients were at hand around the fields and countryside. Tomatoes, onions, snails and beans were some common original ingredients. Since Valencia is on the coast, it's no surprise that various kinds of seafood made their way into later recipes. "To this day a "true" Paella Valenciana has no seafood but a mixture of chicken, rabbit and snails with green and white beans" (The Paella Company). Visit The Paella Company's site to learn more about the origins and developments of this dish.
As shocking as it may seem, snail was not one of the ingredients I was ready to try so I figured I'd take a more common and widely spread approach to the recipe. Aside from a few modifications, I followed this recipe.
Here are the ingredients and measurements I decided to go with:
2 full chicken breasts
1/3 lb shrimp
4 large scallops cut in fourths
½ cup tomato sauce
4 cloves chopped garlic
1/3 chopped red onion
1 red bell pepper
½ cup green beans cut in 1" sections
½ tsp saffron
½ tsp cayenne pepper
½ cup extra virgin olive oil
2 cups paella rice
1 ½ cup chicken broth
I started by sautéing the chicken in olive oil until it was mostly cooked. Then I added tomato sauce, bell pepper, onion and garlic to the pan. After about 4-5 minutes, I added the rice, saffron, green beans and cayenne pepper. Once the combination started to boil, I tossed in the shrimp, scallops and broth. I let the ingredients simmer for roughly 15 minutes; stirring frequently to ensure the rice was evenly cooked. I garnished the completed dish with additional peppers and lemon wedges. True to Spanish tradition, it was served family style, in the center of the table for my roommates to gather around.
Here's a glimpse at my first attempt:
While there was definitely room for improvement and we had nothing to compare it to, my house was pretty impressed with the results!
Today, paella is commonly prepared as the centerpiece for many fiestas. It is a social dish, meant for sharing and often associated with celebration. It is known for being eaten right out of the pan rather than on plates. Kitchenproject.com describes the typical style of eating the dish in Spain. "Each guest starts at the perimeter of the Paella and works toward the center." Visit their site to view different variations of the dish.
FreshLiving Magazine recently tweeted a variation of the recipe, using chicken, bacon, chorizo, mussels and prawns. Head over to their twitter page @Fresh_Living for more interesting recipe variations.
I'm looking forward to tasting the real deal during my summer abroad in Spain. Maybe I'll learn a thing or two before my next attempt at preparation.

Our Michigan medical malpractice lawyers handle cases involving the failure to timely diagnose and treat dysphagia. Dysphagia is a swallowing disorder. It is defined by some scientists and clinicians as the inability to move a liquid or food substance from the mouth to stomach, while others define dysphagia to include the sensory, perceptual, and cognitive awareness of the patient and his/her ability to maintain hydration and nutrition.
Symptoms of Dysphagia
Some symptoms of dysphagia include:
- Hesitation or inability to swallow
- Difficult or painful swallowing
- Constant feeling of lump in throat
- Regurgitation of food through the throat or nose
- Frequent heartburn
- Chest pain or discomfort when swallowing
- Necessity to "wash down" solid foods
Treatment for Dysphagia
Treatment for dysphagia is usually adapted to the particular case or type of the swallowing problem. Depending on the case, surgery or medication may be used, or a speech-language pathologist can help.
A speech-language pathologist helps you learn:
- Exercises that help strengthen or improve coordination of weak facial muscles
- New ways of eating to make swallowing easier
- Which foods and drinks to avoid
- New ways to prepare foods and drinks to make them easier to swallow
Prevention of Dysphagia
Prevention of dysphagia requires prevention of the conditions that cause dysphagia, such as stroke, head trauma, or head and neck cancer. Obedience to the individual treatment program will prevent complications from dysphagia.
Precautions that should be taken include:
- Eating and drinking only those foods and liquids of the recommended consistencies
- Sitting upright for oral intake
- Taking small amounts at a slow rate
- Ensuring that the mouth is clear after a swallow and at the end of a meal
- Using recommended strategies on every swallow
- Maintaining good oral hygiene
- Remaining upright for 30 minutes after eating or longer
Medical Malpractice from Dysphagia Management
A patient usually has one primary physician who is ultimately responsible for the medical management of dysphagia, although others may be involved for failing to perform at acceptable professional levels of diagnostic and treatment competency and proficiency. A clinician's action that "probably" was the cause of a negative dysphagia management outcome indicates that a medical malpractice may have taken place. If the clinician's actions "possibly" caused a negative dysphagia, proving a medical malpractice has taken place is difficult. Medical malpractice cases often involve many institutions such as hospitals, nursing homes, private physicians, medical nursing consultants, and home health agencies.
Contact a Michigan Dysphagia Medical Malpractice Lawyer
If you or a family member have been the victim of a medical malpractice from dysphagia, you should contact our office immediately to discuss your case. There are strict time limitations for filing medical malpractice cases in Michigan and if you wait too long, your case may be barred forever. Call us now at (800) 606-1717.
You should also request our FREE BOOK, "The Ultimate Michigan Medical Malpractice Handbook," which explains the legal process in Michigan and what must be proven to win your case. We will send out the book immediately to you.

People who are familiar with Hanako Games' previous titles – fantasy/adventure fare like Cute Knight and Fatal Hearts – will be in for a bit of a surprise with Twinkle Toes Skating, a click-heavy puzzle game where you're tasked with putting together flawless figure skating routines.
You'll step into the ice rink with Yuki, a young woman who dreams of becoming a championship figure skater. Although she starts as a beginner who can barely skate in a straight line without falling, through determination she gradually masters each new step and gains enough confidence to put together stunning routines and earn dozens of medals.
Of course, she can't do it without your help. The gameplay of Twinkle Toes Skating is a unique combination of match-3 and choreography. Yuki starts at one end of the rink and slowly makes her way to the other side; as she does so, you have to drag rows and columns of tiles in front of her in a specific order so that she performs her moves.
Drag green forward arrow tiles in front of Yuki, for example, and she'll skate forwards, but put blue backwards arrows in front of her and she'll skate backwards. Add a series of red tiles and she'll execute a toe loop jump; add some dark blue tiles and she'll do a spin; add some pink tiles and she'll do a cute bunny hop sequence. You'll also have to watch out for the cracked ice tiles, because if she skates over one of those she'll fall and you'll have to start the routine over again.
You can't just create a routine by dragging tiles at random, and this is where the game's challenge and ingenuity shine through. Generally, you have to arrange at least three tiles of the same type in a row in front of Yuki or she'll trip and fall. Some moves, such as the glide, must be exactly three tiles, while others, such as the spin, can be as long as you like. Some elements can only be proceeded by specific tiles; for example, you must be skating forwards in order to lead into the bunny hop, and you must be skating backwards to do a toe loop.
For each level there are certain elements that must be included in the routine, which are spelled out beforehand. If there are any tiles left over after the required elements have been satisfied, you can round out the routine with whatever you like. You can earn different medals (bronze, silver or gold) depending on how big of a combo you've able to rack up. Earning enough gold medals will also unlock new outfits for Yuki to wear.
The fact that Yuki is constantly moving means you have to think and click fairly quickly to keep one step ahead of her. This is the biggest potential point of frustration for gamers who aren't fast clickers and would prefer to be able to take their time. Sometimes I found myself feeling that Yuki moved a little too quickly, and that there was too much cracked ice and not enough useful tiles – worse still, sometimes the tiles I needed to make specific combos were nowhere in sight. There's a practice mode, but since tiles are randomly generated anyway, I didn't find it all that useful.
On the other hand, just when you think the gameplay is becoming unbearably difficult, the game throws you a couple of lifelines in the form of tiles that temporarily slow Yuki down to give you time to gather your wits, and wild card tiles that can fill in for anything.
Twinkle Toes Skating is presented in Hanako Games' trademark anime-inspired art style, and people who enjoy watching figure skating will probably get a kick out of watching Yuki perform each move on the fly. A second mode, Free Skate, lets you compete for the high score by creating as long of a routine as possible in four levels of difficulty.
At the very least, I'd recommend download the free trial to see if Twinkle Toes Skating is up your alley. I found it to be a game that definitely had its pockets of frustration but proved to be more rewarding the farther into it I played.

(actual text 1 day before prison ministry)
Linda Lopes: "Hey Jimi, working on lesson for DVI (Deuel Vocational Institute, Tracy Ca.) this morning. This is such a powerful lesson on our sin patterns and God's forgiveness. I feel led to end the lesson with a salvation invitation. Will you keep this in prayer?"
Jimi Merrell: "Of Course!"
(actual day of prison ministry)
Linda Lopes (to 100 inmates): "I know you have been hearing about Jesus for sometime, but who is ready to become new and ask Jesus to be their Savior? I only want people who have never prayed this prayer before to stand up – who says I want Jesus today…?"
Slowly but surely they began to rise…first one, then another, until 17 men from the protective custody unit stood in their standard issue "blues" to receive Jesus as their Savior! As Linda led them in prayer, other inmates laid hands on them in support as they made the most important decision of their lives. The entire chapel erupted in cheers as these orphans became new brothers in Christ!
But it only gets better…
After a quick call out from Chaplain Mary, 4 men came forward to be baptized! Full submersion is not an option at DVI and resources are very limited. So these two creative daughters of Jesus made due with what was at their disposal; a Crystal Geyser water bottle and an old broken coffee mug. One by one the men stated their names as Chap. Mary poured the precious water from the broken vessel over their heads. There was a perfect mixture of tears and laughter from the baptizees as well as the witnesses in the pews. Each of their faces told the same story: "We may be in prison, but Christ has set us free!"

Ideas for Landscaping
It can be difficult to come up with unique and interesting ideas to add to your landscape. With so many options, it's easy to to become indecisive. Here are some things to consider for when your coming up with ideas.
1. Plants – A landscape just isn't a landscape without plants. Almost every design needs to incorporate at least a few. Consider the climate you live in, or the theme of the design itself. Make sure your plants compliment your other design elements, because they are an integral part of the design.
2. Rocks – Rocks come in a variety of shapes, colors, and sizes. From boulders to gravel, there is a large variety that can be hard to choose from. Consider what colors would compliment the other features in your design. Size and shape should be changed to fit within the space you have to work with. Large boulders can overcrowd small areas.
More practical concerns:
1. Energy Efficiency – The amount of energy your landscape requires is very important. If you live in a dry climate with water restrictions, consider adding features that don't require constant watering. Certain landscapes can provide shade and a cool environment for you or your family. Which can in turn save on cooling costs.
2. Environmentally friendly – It's important that your landscape supports a well balanced ecosystem for your property. Not only to native plants and animals, but to the trees and plants that you have added yourself.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding ideas or designs for your next landscaping project. Don't hesitate to contact our experienced landscape designers for information and help to get you on your way.

Small place serving local brews and regional food. Big outdoor patio on Bastion Square overlooking the harbour.
I've been to this place a few times before and always found the food to be mediocre and the overall experience to be somewhat hit or miss but this latest visit was saw some great changes. I don't know if they are under new management now or just revamped the menu (it's been about a year since my last visit) but the food choices and quality seems hugely improved.
I ordered the pancetta chicken burger, which was delicious, definitely one of the better if not best chicken sandwiches I've had in awhile. For a side I got the tomato basil soup which wasn't so wonderful and could've been a lot tastier imo. I think I was expecting something a little spicier and this tasted like they just blended up tomatoes and basil and sent it out, didn't help that it was a little cold too. Fortunately my girlfriend ordered fries with her wrap and there was plenty of them so we could share those, which were great albeit a little salty.
Everyone in our party seemed to really enjoy their food, it came at just the right time and was nice and hot minus the soup of course. Plus the portions were great! One guy had the big daddy turkey club that had the biggest stack of turkey I've ever seen on a sandwich.
The service was great. The girl serving us was very attentive her timing was great. She was there when we needed her and made a point of checking in a few times to make sure everything was ok without being annoying or intrusive.
Overall, it was a great dining experience (the beautiful weather definitely contributed) and I would definitely go back and recommend it to anyone looking for a great sunny lunch spot with a beautiful view. Glad I gave it another chance.
My friend and I typically get together once per month at Moon Under Water (awesome) and decided to give a new place a try. I my 20+ years of being in Victoria I had never been into any establishment that had occupied this space. I had no expectations and was very pleasantly surprised. The service was extremely attentive despite the fact that it was busy. The owner or management (both?) also seemed to err on the side of caution with regards to staff - there were lots and they were all keeping busy. On Friday nights they pump up the music - not my usual thing - but we were still able to have a conversation and really enjoy the night. My friend ordered a burger and I ordered the wings. Two basic staples you need to get right. His burger had a beautiful bun (brioche perhaps?), the fries were perfect and the patty clearly made in house. My wings were large, very tasty (salt and pepper) and crispy. the blue cheese dressing wasn't too strong either. These are not 25 Cent wings! Anyway I will be a local at The Local - thanks for a great night.
The Local was very expensive for the quality and quantity of the food. The location is perfect for trapping tourists. We decided to eat indoors and were forgotten when it came to service, and a gratuity was added to our credit card without our knowledge. I will never dine at the local again.
We went after a friend told me The Local plays Edmonton Oilers games. Unfortunately they were only playing the Flames and Canucks games when we were there.
The space itself is great, although the stairs seemed a little steep after a couple of pitchers of beer(the white bark was very smooth).
The service is good and the staff seemed pleasant.
I ordered the hummous and naan and my boyfriend ordered the chicken tacos. The hummous was good, but the naan came drenched in so much butter (which was greasy & messy) that even though I used napkins to soak up as much excess as I could, the taste and smell of butter completely overpowered The hummous and I only ate a few bites.
I enjoyed my taste of chicken tacos though, and would probably order them myself in the future; my boyfriend thought there was way too much sauce in the tacos for his liking, but said they were good overall.
The experience itself was positive and I would definitely go back during hockey season.
I'm a local, but I'd never been to The Local until my sister and mom were visiting last year. We had two infants with us and wanted a place with a patio, a good menu and beer....that would allow babies. That meant all pubs were out, but finding The Local was more than recompense. All three of us enjoyed our meals and drinks (the burgers and pulled pork sandwich are lovely), the prices are perfectly reasonable, the beer is cold and the babies were happy. I've been back twice since, once with my visiting mom and just today, with husband and now-toddling baby, and I'm pretty sure this will be our new weekend lunch and a pint destination -- with the baby, of course!
My first comment would be for "vicgirl" The Local Kitchen or as us "Locals" call it "The Local" is NOT owned by the previous owner of Garlic Rose. It has a new owner for the last 3 years. Totally NEW place. So I'm not sure if you are confused and just sound upset because you had unsatisfactory service at Garlic Rose - but this is a completely different restaurant.
I go to Local once a week in the summer (at least) with friends, co-workers, family etc. We love it! The food is fantastic. If you want something healthy their salads which are BIG are delicious. You want a burger? Try the lamb -yum! Want a wrap - try the Tandoori -chicken. My girlfriend is a vegetarian and she too has found something she loves. Bottom line it can be a casual place where you can have a bevie at the bar or sit on the patio and people watch.
I just recently had a bday party and booked their private room upstairs, it was AWESOME! Staff and ambiance - they are great and friendly and they play cool music.
I think if you are a local, check it out, if you are tourist - stop in. I'm always one to give a new restaurant a chance or two....these guys are fairly new and doing a great job. Keep it up.
Big Fan!
Everybody I know was skeptical - this is the old Garlic Rose location. Known for bad service and treating their staff even worse. My parents were in town and were jonesing for a patio so I thought - why not give them a chance. Bad idea - this is still tourist food in a tourist location. Beer was warm and service was sparse. Patio is so great for people watching - why can't they step up and complete the experience????
On my recent visit to Victoria, the hardest decision I faced was which restaurant to choose for dinner and whether or not it was a good choice amongst all the many other restaurants near by. We decided on what looked like the most popular spot in Bastion Square - The Local Kitchen.
The patio was fantastic - it's the perfect spot to just hang out with some friends over some drinks. Unfortunately, it was too windy that day and chilly, so we opted for a seat inside (all the while, envious of those sitting outside).
We weren't too hungry, so we ordered a drink and an appie each. I ordered the mussels and he, the homous and naan. My mussels were tasty, especially with the chorizo and sauteed cherry tomatoes. Whether or not they used frozen mussels like most places (I sure hoped not), it wasn't obvious. The homous was a little dry and the tapenade was really strong and oily. The naan wasn't exactly indian bread, it was more like house made flat bread - more crispy than chewy. The best dip plate? Not really, but it was well worth the value - I think it was about $8 for homous, tapenade, mixed olives and naan.
Overall, I would say we picked a good place - good food in an excellent location.
after a friend recommended the local i decided to check it out...
had dinner there on a tuesday evening and although it wasn't full it was very busy with what seemed to be regular customers - a good sign. the service was brilliant and the food was very good. the portions are massive so bring your appetite. would definitely recommend it and will be going back next time i'm in victoria.
We were in Victoria and thought let us go to a tourist kind of a place.
I had looked up the location.It was a warm sunny day .Lots of tourists around.The restaurant however was almost empty. Just one other couple Even if you take the location into consideration the food is expensive.
My sister had a small soup ,sandwich, and a coffee.
I had a wrap. It had only a small amount of chicken in it and the edges were burned. I also had a diet pop which was refilled.The bill was $ 35.oo
Expensive for a simple lunch
We had left another restaurant because of bad service after the appies and arrived at the Local Restaurant willing to give this new restaurant a shot. Wow, what a difference. Excellent, attentive staff. Great menu, wine and food. We will be back for more and also for the patio when the weather is warm. Kudos to this new restaurant and for hiring great staff.
On a trip in Victoria for the first time. Found this place our 2nd day here, and have been there 2 more times! Great service, great beer and great location to watch the sunset Crab and spinach dip is outstanding, seafood pot was perfect. Also less money for the same menu items than surrounding restaurants. Will return on next visit!
