Gulden's Diabetes Eye-Plus model demonstrates the effects of untreated/unmonitored diabetes on patients' kidneys, nerves, arteries, and retinas.
|HOYA's digital Dr. Graham educates patients on how lens designs can have an impact on the quality of their vision.
From animations to hands-on demos, there are plenty of resources available to keep patients informed about eye health and vision products.
Not only can today's eyecare educational tools clarify complex topics, but they also offer a level of engagement that better provides patients with a message they might otherwise ignore in a mundane brochure. Here's a sample of what's available.
Getting patients excited about a new pair of frames isn't that difficult, but what about their lenses? When looking for an exciting way to tell the story of how lenses can impact the quality of patients' vision, eyecare professionals (ECPs) can turn to HOYA VISION CARE, North America's animated stars Professor Murray and Dr. Graham. The male Professor Murray personality offers ECPs a way to present HOYA's lens and treatment advancements to prospective patients, incorporating animation and messaging in a fun yet understandable format. Dr. Graham is a female voice speaking from the ECP's perspective. Her primary role is to complement the antics of Professor Murray's character and to take on more serious topics when she speaks to patients.
By helping patients under-stand lens benefits with these digital characters, HOYA aims to assist independent practices differentiating themselves from the big boxes and anonymous online options, as well as to help patients validate their decision in accepting the doctor's prescription.
Another fun animated character explaining the complicated world of free-form progressive designs to patients is Shamir Insight, Inc.'s Mr. Progresso. Mr. Progresso's newest educational videos provide an overview of Shamir's latest lens designs, the Shamir Golf™ and FirstPAL™. He's able to explain the lenses' benefits in a unique way that will be sure to keep patients entertained.
Driven by 3D-animated visuals and an intuitive interface, Eyemaginations, Inc.'s LUMA lets ECPs present complex information to patients to ensure they understand their ocular conditions and treatments. It can be used from the waiting room to the exam room (LUMA iPad Apps are also available) and is designed to fit seamlessly into a practice's existing workflow with little to no training.
The company recently announced its latest software update for LUMA education. The LUMA v1.9.5 features a wide variety of new eyecare topics including tear osmolarity testing, exfoliation glaucoma, and mixing premium IOLs. It also includes a new series of silent waiting room vignettes that covers areas such as polarized lenses, macular degeneration pigment density and vitamin therapy, bladeless LASIK, and contact lens options. In addition, LUMA offers split-screen views offered within the Exam Advisor on such topics as refractive errors and cataracts. These unique animations allow for simultaneous views of both condition development and point-of-view perspectives.
The Transitions Vantage
lenses demo tools can actively show patients that glare can be reduced with the Vantage lenses.
|Eyemaginations' LUMA animations present complex information to patients to ensure they understand their
conditions and treatments.
Another educational option is the Vue Simulator, an interactive software that visually represents eye conditions and treatments. Its 3D animation, graphics, videos, and multiple viewing angles of the eye anatomy helps ECPs walk patients through their conditions to eliminate the fear of procedures. ECPs can use the slider to show progression of ocular conditions and the benefits of surgery and treatment options. The software also has the added ability to draw or write on the screen.
Don't underestimate the value of eye models and hand demo tools. Gulden Ophthalmics offers various eye models including those that educate on astigmatism, glaucoma, and cataracts, as well as the anatomy of the eye. It newest model, the Diabetes Eye-Plus™, demonstrates the effect of untreated/unmonitored diabetes on patients' four body systems—kidneys, nerves, arteries, and of course, retinas.
Patients can also experience the advantages of certain optical products firsthand. For example, Transitions Optical, Inc.'s new Vantage™ lenses demo tools consist of a glare simulator and lens lorgnette. The lens lorgnette and glare simulator help ECPs show that Transitions Vantage lenses not only darken but they also polarize. By asking patients to look through the lens lorgnette at the glare simulator in the indoor state (prior to activation), they will notice the lenses are virtually clear and there is a lot of glare in the picture. By activating the lorgnette and asking patients to look at the glare simulator again, they will be able to see that the glare in the image has been reduced.
Don't forget those high-tech dispensing systems. Not only do these systems provide virtual try-ons and fitting measurements, they also incorporate patient education modules. These modules offer various learning features like demonstrations of premium lens products and information on eye anatomy and visual defects. Educational modules can be found in such systems as Carl Zeiss Vision Inc.'s i.Terminal™, Essilor of America, Inc.'s Visioffice System®, PFO Global's SmartEyePix®, ABS, Inc.'s Smart Dispensing Technology, and Optikam from Optikam Tech, Inc.
All these educational tools have the potential to increase patient understanding while encouraging a level of patient involvement that helps maximize your time spent with them.

On the weekend of a new Magic: The Gathering set release, my friends generally have a big release party. Between us, we spend several hundred dollars buying boxes of booster packs, and then play all night with various draft, sealed, and mini-masters matches. Although we're not terribly competitive, these casual Magic benders give a great opportunity to experience a set and think about awesome possibilities in constructed play.
Going into the new set (Gatecrash), I was pretty intrigued by a couple new mechanics, evolve and cipher, although I was also quite disappointed by the effects that were attached to cipher cards. It seems like the dual effects of milling and encouraging dealing damage to a player were fundamentally at odds, and my experiences in the drafts didn't prompt me to change my opinion.
Bloodrush sounds like a neat idea, but it feels a bit like a desperation move; I would usually prefer having a creature than a one-time, attacker-only Giant Growth, so it only seems relevant if you're able to win on the turn you use it or if it buys you an extra turn or two from an opponent's onslaught. Extort has a lot of power and is a great way to burn extra mana when you don't have extra spells to sling, but it's not really my thing. Battalion is nice, but the fact that it only triggers when you have three creatures attacking is tricky; you must have good board positioning to get it off, and your opponent will likely know that you're building up to it, giving them plenty of time to apply some removal.
Anyway, my goal going into the first draft was to try to pull of a Simic (blue-green, that's where the evolve mechanic lives) deck. My first rare was Unexpected Results, which is in the right colors and has some interesting implications (getting to play a big creature for free and trigger evolve seemed really sexy to me), so I was off to a good start. Here's the deck that I ended up constructing:
7 Forest
6 Island
1 Mountain
The basic strategy was to start the game with either Cloudfin Raptor or Experiment One on turn one, start pummelling my opponent as soon as possible, and evolve my creatures in the most intelligent way I can. Hands of Binding and Last Thoughts get ciphered onto a creature with evasion (Elusive Krasis ideally, but Cloudfin Raptor was another good choice). Pit Fight and Simic Charm are used as removal if absolutely necessary. Rubblehulk is there as a great beneficiary of Unexpected Results, and Verdant Haven and Prophetic Prism are for mana-fixing to play or bloodrush him if desired.
All-in-all, this deck did pretty well. I won all four of the best-of-threes that I played, dropping only two games in the process. I found that evolve can be pretty nasty, as I expected. Being able to extend the effectiveness of a one-drop creature well into the midgame is brutal; trading an Experiment One for a Guardian of the Gateless was one of my biggest triumphs. In nearly every game I played, I was able to deal a few points of damage before my opponent got a creature on the board, and then I could effectively stall them with my continually growing creatures until I could outmaneuver them with the cipher spells or smash them with the big creatures. Unexpected Results unexpectedly served as an awesome deck-thinner and mana ramper, making sure that I could use my Nimbus Swimmer to trigger evolve and have a beefy dude with evasion. The game where I stole a couple of lands with Nightveil Specter wasn't too bad, either.
This first draft confirmed that Simic and evolve are beastly. I'm excited to put together a constructed Simic deck, hoping to use the Ooze Fluxes I grabbed to great effect (have that with a few small evolve guys, and it basically becomes "1G: get a 4/4 creature").
The second draft didn't go quite as well for me. There were murmurs from my friends about trying to build Simic decks after seeing how well mine was performing, so I though I'd have to change strategies to survive the drafting process. In this one, my opening rare was Clan Defiance, which is a pretty rockin' removal/burn spell, so I thought I'd go the Gruul (red-green, home of bloodrush) route. Here's my deck:
8 Forest
7 Mountain
There were a few big problems with this draft: first, I was a little bit schizophrenic. While trying to stay in color, I ended up pulling a bunch of evolve creatures and not much removal. That hurt, particularly against an extort-heavy deck.
Second, my win conditions weren't nearly as robust as in my earlier deck. I could hope for evolve to keep me going, but I didn't have any low-costing evolvers to start growing early (a single Experiment One may have changed this deck quite a bit). Aside from that, I was basically ramping into the Ruination Wurm or Clan Defiance, but I never got either of them off.
Third, the most superficial of the problems was a general lack of rares. I only had two in this deck, as opposed to the five I had in the Simic one, so I didn't have as many bombs to drop. I also sacrificed a first pick during the draft; on the second pack, I rare-drafted a Duskmantle Seer, which did absolutely nothing for me when the games started.
The few games where I did find myself in a decent position, I made some bad (or unlucky) decisions: pressuring my opponent when he had tricks to crush me, holding back when he didn't.
Amid the drafts, we did a few games of mini-masters, which meant that I came away with a few other great cards (Angelic Skirmisher is a monster in limited, Blind Obedience is a good way to get yourself slaughtered in a team game, and I think Ooze Flux has a lot of constructed potential).
I really like Gatecrash. Evolve is definitely my favorite new mechanic of the last few years, and I'm excited to see how the Simic cards in the next set play off it. In the end, Gatecrash is a lot more interesting and fun than Return to Ravnica is, at least in limited. I'm excited to see how they all tie together when we start drafting the whole block, but that's a bit down the road.

New Foods
Mason and Sawyer are feeding themselves now at every meal and this past week they have had some interesting new additions. On Sunday we went to lunch with the Groves and Emma fed Mason pizza and coke while I was getting my pizza at the buffet. Then today Sawyer found the tote with Charlie's dog food, got it open and ate some before I could get it away from her! Coke and dog food were definitely not on my list of things to add to their diet, but what are you going to do? Ha!
We are trying to avoid the icy weather and all of the RSV that is going around right now. So many people are sick and I am just hoping that we don't get it. It doesn't help that the weather keeps changing from 30 to 80 every few days! I hope everyone has a great week.

Wow they don't even look like babies anymore! It's sad and fun all at once! Btw, it's crazy how many kids have RSV here right now. Nyki said 2 kids from Taylors daycare are in the hospital with it! Needless to say, we are staying in too!

Since 1996 the nuclear plant in Braidwood, Illinois has experienced several leaks of tritium laced water. Unfortunately the residents did not know about this and have been drinking radioactive water for at least 10 years. In March of 2006 the Illinois Attorney General filed a lawsuit against Exelon which owns the nuclear facility after they acknowledged the spills.
Here are several links to additional information:
Illinois Files Suit
Illinois Obtains Injunction
EPA Illinois Updates
Newshour Report with Video
Good Background Story
The basic premise behind the story is that the company did not adequately disclose the spills and the residents drank the water without knowing it was radioactive. To say exposure to radiation is not healthy would be an understatement. It is likely impossible to determine the health impacts on the residents now and the "incubation" period for cancer is not exactly known. Radiation exposure may cause cancer on a shorter timetable or exacerbate preexisting conditions. There may be increasing cancer rates and other rare diseases right now as a result. Other effects on the citizens may be longer term in the form of damaged DNA, genetic disorders in future generations or who knows what else.
Another spill occurred May 25, 2007. When will it end? How many more times do people need to be unwittingly exposed to pollution/radiation until something is done? Nuclear energy is not a safe alternative and it becomes even deadlier when secrecy and profits are put ahead of public safety. Please don't forget about the people of Braidwood or the dozens of other communities who live near these facilities. Pressure your elected officials for full disclosure and rigid enforcement of regulations in place to ensure that public safety is the most important consideration.

Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: mall, maps, music, natural, nature, observations, overheard, private, public, reminisce, southwestern art, ugly, walking
i decided to take this walk in a place that has gone from a place of comfort to one of total disdain, the mall. i remember being like 13 and going to the park mall every weekend with my friends. that was the place to be at that age, and that seems to linger on for a few years. but at some point, it switched over for me. it stopped being a place that i liked going, instead i absolutely dread going.
i was armed with my ipod for this walk, which happened to have crashed the day before and needed to be reloaded with music. i was at a friends house so he put on a bunch of music for me. all of which were bands that i liked when i was just finishing middle school and starting high school. so listening to bands like incubus [yeah, i know] really took me back to the time when i actually enjoyed being at the mall. while on my walk around the place, i became very interested in all of these things that i never really noticed before. i couldn't help but stare all of the horrible southwestern art that could be found throughout the space.
and the attempt to bring in natural lighting into this very artificial environment.
but what i found really interesting was the big potted plants.
this idea of bringing nature into totally fabricated, unnatural environments is a theme that has been popping up a lot lately. i know a lot of people working with this theme, and was able to see it a lot while at the mall. i found it to be a really funny juxtaposition of these plants against these brightly light, backgrounds with bright colors and photoshopped models.
i walked through the whole mall and had all of these thoughts about the space itself and didn't really take into much consideration the people in it. which happened during the second half of the walk.
i've always been an eavesdropper, and the mall is totally the right place to be in to hear some really good stuff. its not that i am trying to be nosey, but i just really like seeing people in their element. when they are totally themselves because they think that no one is paying attention. people are so funny and don't even really know it. so, when walking through the mall without headphones i couldn't help but not smile and giggle a bit when people would say something funny or just ridiculous. the highlight being this: "now, learning how to say what color are your panties in Arabic seems way more important than anything else." that gem happened right outside the victoria secret, which may or may not be a coincidence.
i also noticed how unwilling people are to make eye contact with you there. everyone was either looking at the person they were with or staring at the ground. there were a few accidental glances by some teenagers and they quickly looked away, the only people who actually maintained eye contact were those annoying kiosk people and the mall security. both of which make sense, since it is part of their job. but, it is still very interesting how people react when they make eye contact with you especially when you don't look away. we've become very sensitive to this and can feel when it has gone on too long.
it was a very interesting experience going back to a place i used to spend so much time in. this walk made me realize different things about the space that i don't think i otherwise would have payed attention to.
here is the route that i took for my walk,

New Splash Page!
Yay! I finally got some help with a new design for the splash page. I wanted something a little more professional looking (and not so much like the html hack job I attempted). So I hired the help of
Ready Set Shoppe!
I absolutely love the new look! It'll be much easier to maintain and all important messages will continue to post at the top of the page, as well as the blog.
It certainly pays to leave it to the professionals!

5"X7" Watercolour & pencil on paper
The boys have all gone away for the weekend, a baseball tournament. So I am looking forward to a couple of days of painting, both micro and macro, as there is still a lot of the exterior of the house to paint. We will have to see how much I can get achieved. As usual my ambition is probably completely unrealistic.
The thunder is rumbling outside, so I had better get this posted before the power goes out. The internet was already down for a couple of hours today.

Hello! Long time, no blog! Have you been feeling that chill that has been in the air as of late? Fall is here!!
These past few weeks have been hopping! Chris had to go to Belgium for a business trip, Molly has been getting into the swing of 5th grade, I took a train to and from New York City so I could celebrate a friend's bachelorette party…. On top of that, Chris and I celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary along with his birthday!
Since last week contained a homecoming, an anniversary and a birthday, I thought it was a good excuse to spring on some really nice flowers! Megan and I took the girls to the Lexington Farmers' Market last week and I picked up these gorgeous, heirloom blooms from the Herb Farmacy. This place was super neat! They had all sorts of oils, herbs and other cool stuff. Megan picked up this really incredible smelling herbal salt blend that I need to get my hands on as well! The entire market was brimming with specialty vendors, farmers and artisans. We were quickly able to see why it won the Best of Boston Award in 2010!
Chris returned from Belgium last Wednesday and he brought back some delicious chocolate along with some gorgeous lace handkerchiefs. They're so beautiful that I'm scared to take them out of the paper for longer than just a few minutes! He got back just in time to go out for our anniversary the following night. We had to keep it local since it was a school night so we decided to go to Flora. We've heard a lot of good things about it. As a gift to Chris, I decided not to bring my camera since I am always taking pictures of our food. I can assure you that it was beautiful and delicious! I had the sauteed chanterelles served over corn pudding and it was divine! They source a lot of their ingredients locally and combine the flavors and textures with a comforting flare. We both enjoyed our meal but it's definitely a special occasion only sort of place($$$)!
The next day was his birthday but we didn't get to celebrate that day because I had to skip town for the weekend. While I was in New Jersey, I visited one of my blog buddies, Arrow Acres Farm. You can see the two babies that were born this summer right up front! They are getting ready for a big open house this weekend!
We finally got around to celebrating Chris' birthday this week! My neighbor gave me a load of green tomatoes from her garden so I fried those bad boys up! I had grand plans to make him a Boston cream cake for dessert but it just was not meant to be! I had all of my ingredients but realized that my rounded pans were nowhere to be found! I then decided to use my canoe pans to make Boston cream Twinkies! Doesn't that sound awesome? Well, that didn't work out either because of some major custard fail! It absolutely refused to set! So, I decided to break up my would be Twinkies and soak them in the runny custard. I'm going to make the ganache for the top and serve it up as Boston bread pudding! It won't be pretty but it'll be tasty!
I hope everyone has a great weekend!!! I couldn't resist picking up this pumpkin the other night! New England is Autumn Wonderland and I can't wait for it to get into full gear!! I've seen some leaves turning already!

|Zamboanga City conflict aftermath
September 2013
|Intensity 7.2 earthquake in Bohol and the Visayas region
October 2013
Just days ago, Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda) destroyed cities in Luzon and Visayas, particularly Tacloban and Ilo-ilo. More than 10,000 people are believed to be dead. Thousands more are missing because of the storm surge. Communication lines are out and the military and police officers are not enough to control the people, who are now resulting to looting and scavenging, even with dead bodies lying around.
We need your help and prayers as we brace for another Tropical Depression forming east of Southern Mindanao. The weather advisory above was issued by PAGASA last night. As I'm writing this, the weather in Davao City is already cloudy it's getting windy outside. This weather disturbance is expected to enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) within 24 to 36 hours. It's expected to be in the vicinity of Surigao, Bohol, and Palawan.

Hey Everyone -
I wanted everyone to learn a little bit about me as we work to get our book out to the public - and get this blog up and running with lots of ideas and activities.
I have always valued the relationships and bonds we have the opportunity to create with children. From the time I was 16, I have been coaching youth sports. I find it important to give kids the opportunity to spend time doing productive and healthy activities - as a way to keep them from getting engaging in risky behaviors.
Because of this I have spent many years not only coaching youth - but educating coaches who work with youth. My philosophy while coaching has always been that playing sports should be fun. I always have always strive to coach the best teams possible - but mainly to teach the kids I am coaching to enjoy and love what they do.
I am also a small business owner for over 25 years. I have worked hard to create systems and programs that make the industry I work in easier and more efficient for others in the industry. I love working in my industry and coming up with new and exciting ideas.
But most importantly, I am a Husband, Dad and Grandpa. I have a wonderful wife of 15 years, who is a teacher, and who I enjoy spending my time with. I have four grown children - three of whom are teachers and one who assists in running our family business. I also have 6 grandchildren ranging from newborn - 4th grade. I enjoy watching my grandchildren grow up and learn. To see the expressions on their face as they master new tasks, and learn new concepts is truly mesmerizing. I love watching my own children become the wonderful parents that they are.
It is my work with youth in the community, raising four kids, and involvement with my children's education - that has made me passionate about the work I have done in writing a Children's Book. I do not plan for this to be the end of my journey as an author. I plan to offer many more activities and experiences with the Kaleidoscope Kids, as well as offer new adventures and stories.

Dorothy Receives the Guests
|Page 2 of 4
Dorothy willingly agreed, being the only other Princess in the Emerald City; so she went to the great Throne-Room and sat in Ozma's seat, placing Polly on one side of her and Button-Bright on the other. The Scarecrow stood at the left of the throne and the Tin Woodman at the right, while the Wonderful Wizard and the shaggy man stood behind.
The Cowardly Lion and the Hungry Tiger came in, with bright new bows of ribbon on their collars and tails. After greeting Dorothy affectionately the huge beasts lay down at the foot of the throne.
While they waited, the Scarecrow, who was near the little boy, asked:
"Why are you called Button-Bright?"
"Don't know," was the answer.
"Oh yes, you do, dear," said Dorothy. "Tell the Scarecrow how you got your name."
"Papa always said I was bright as a button, so mama always called me Button-Bright," announced the boy.
"Where is your mama?" asked the Scarecrow.
"Don't know," said Button-Bright.
"Where is your home?" asked the Scarecrow.
"Don't know," said Button-Bright.
"Don't you want to find your mama again?" asked the Scarecrow.
"Don't know," said Button-Bright, calmly.
The Scarecrow looked thoughtful.
"Your papa may have been right," he observed; "but there are many kinds of buttons, you see. There are silver and gold buttons, which are highly polished and glitter brightly. There are pearl and rubber buttons, and other kinds, with surfaces more or less bright. But there is still another sort of button which is covered with dull cloth, and that must be the sort your papa meant when he said you were bright as a button. Don't you think so?"
"Don't know," said Button-Bright.
Jack Pumpkinhead arrived, wearing a pair of new, white kid gloves; and he brought a birthday present for Ozma consisting of a necklace of pumpkin-seeds. In each seed was set a sparkling carolite, which is considered the rarest and most beautiful gem that exists. The necklace was in a plush case and Jellia Jamb put it on a table with the Princess Ozma's other presents.
Next came a tall, beautiful woman clothed in a splendid trailing gown, trimmed with exquisite lace as fine as cobweb. This was the important Sorceress known as Glinda the Good, who had been of great assistance to both Ozma and Dorothy. There was no humbug about her magic, you may be sure, and Glinda was as kind as she was powerful. She greeted Dorothy most lovingly, and kissed Button-Bright and Polly, and smiled upon the shaggy man, after which Jellia Jamb led the Sorceress to one of the most magnificent rooms of the royal palace and appointed fifty servants to wait upon her.
The next arrival was Mr. H. M. Woggle-Bug, T.E.; the "H. M." meaning Highly Magnified and the "T.E." meaning Thoroughly Educated. The Woggle-Bug was head professor at the Royal College of Oz, and he had composed a fine Ode in honor of Ozma's birthday. This he wanted to read to them; but the Scarecrow wouldn't let him.

Top 10 LSU plays of 2017: Donte Jackson dashes Auburn's dreams
BATON ROUGE, La. — The 2017 LSU football season gave us electric offensive showings and stifling defensive performances. But only 10 plays could make SEC Country's countdown of the top LSU plays of 2017.
Rounding out the bottom half of our countdown, we return to LSU's defining win of 2017, this time on defense. LSU prides itself on being "DBU," the collection of the best cornerbacks and safeties college football has to offer. Though that might not have been true statistically in 2017, games like LSU's 27-23 upset win over Auburn showed the flashes LSU has become known for.
- RELATED: No. 10 — Darrel Williams slashes Alabama with the Wildcat
- No. 9 — Derrius Guice blows past Arkansas
- No. 8 – Connor Culp stuns Auburn
- No. 7 – Danny Etling and Drake Davis go deep
This play is the perfect example. The stakes were at their highest, so LSU's best lockdown corner made, arguably, the defining play of his three-year college career.
At No. 6 on the countdown, here's Donte Jackson batting away any chance Auburn had at a victory.
The play
The stakes were clear. Auburn had a fourth-and-10 from its 25-yard line with less than 2 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. LSU led by 1 point. If the Orange Tigers converted, they had a chance at a comeback. If they didn't, the Purple Tigers had a chance to ice the game.
Lining up in the shotgun, Auburn quarterback Jarrett Stidham caught the snap on Auburn's 20-yard line and dropped back 4 yards. LSU sent four rushers: Christian LaCouture, Greg Gilmore, Arden Key and Corey Thompson.
Key collapsed the pocket from the inside, forcing Stidham to roll toward the Auburn sideline. Thompson trailed Stidham and rushed into his throwing lane, causing Stidham to deliver a throw downfield without fully stepping into it.
Enter Donte Jackson.
Roaming at the LSU 35-yard line, Jackson tracked Stidham's throw and made a break on it. Flashing his "fastest man in college football" speed, Jackson caught up to Auburn tight end Sal Cannella and jumped in front of him as the ball was converging downward.
Careful not to interfere, Jackson jumped up and swatted the ball out of bounds. Turnover on downs. LSU ball. Exactly 1 minute of game time later, Connor Culp drilled a 36-yard field goal to give LSU a 27-23 lead. Auburn would get the ball back, but it needed a touchdown to win.
Which is why Jackson's day wasn't done.
Auburn's next three pass plays went as follows: Break up by Jackson, break up by Jackson, break up by Jackson. That's right. Four pass plays, 4 PBUs. Jackson had 6 other pass breakups all season. But these were 4 in 4 passes in crunch time versus a top-10 Auburn.
From a timing perspective, it's hard to find a single play more meaningful to the Tigers season. Was this his most technically impressive play? Probably not. But if a lesser corner allows that completion and gives All-SEC kicker Daniel Carlson a chance to win the game, he probably does.
For that, Donte Jackson makes the countdown.
Check back with SEC Country throughout the next two weeks as we continue our countdown of the top LSU football plays of 2017.

WASHINGTON — Virginia's two top Democrats, Gov. L. Douglas Wilder and Sen. Charles Robb, called an end Tuesday to a bizarre public argument involving allegations of wiretapping, womanizing and political skullduggery that may have hurt their once-favorable prospects for national office.
Beaming as they stood side by side at a outdoor press conference on Capitol Hill, the two men offered no apologies to each other and no clear explanation for their recent behavior. Instead, they suggested that the recent brouhaha was mainly a media invention.

For Aussies who are California dreamin' or find themselves in a New York state of mind on a regular basis, the loophole visa (otherwise known as the E-3) allows tertiary educated Australians in a specialty position to migrate without the pesky card of green.*
So you have an ALIA recognised LIS qualification. Can you apply for a librarian position in the States and take your family with you legally? The answer is yes, with some provisos:
Librarianship seems to fit the "specialty occupation" quite clearly to me, as we :
As I have been told by my friends, family, workmates and even random people on the streets that I quite clearly need to CHILLAX and stop doing so much extra-curricular work, I won't be going back to finish my Masters in second semester. It would be kinda weird to guest lecture into the course I'd be taking too, so it's probably a good idea to wait until Summer semester to rejoin the academic rank and file. But once I do get that Masters I'll be seriously considering my international options. Although I did really like living in Canada…
* It may be argued that the E-3 is the only good thing to come out of the 2005 Bush-Howard FTA which has played havoc with our copyright laws.
**not an actual O*Net rating, but check out that list of skills! Next time I'm asked what it takes to be a librarian or told that I "really must love reading" I'm going to reply with "Yes I do love reading but I also love cargo trucks, I am highly skilled at inductive reasoning and I am firmly located within Job Zone Five: that is, it has taken extensive preparation to be this awesome."
** *I have no idea what that is but it's going on my business cards.
I care about your professional development. Passionately. I can't really tell you why I care, but the simple fact is that I do.
I want you to continue to learn about our profession after you have submitted your last assignment. I want you to be engaged. I want you to take every opportunity available to grow and learn as a librarian. I want you to help to shape the future of the information landscape. I want you to care about your professional development.
Consider the example of Student X. Over the last couple of weeks Student X has spent some time with me at MPOW. I'm really fortunate that I have a supportive manager, passionate colleagues and a relatively open schedule (when it's not the beginning of semester) so that I could take the opportunity to create a program, project and schedule for Student X.
Student X could consider himself lucky that he went to a QUT Information Professionals Alumni event. He could think it was luck that he introduced himself to the group I was standing with. Again, it could be considered lucky that I gave him my card when he said he was having trouble finding a second fieldwork placement and I invited him to email me with the details to see what I could do. He could consider himself lucky. OR he could be a great example of how professional development, even when still a student, can open doors that you otherwise wouldn't know existed.
Student X wasn't lucky. It was his enthusiasm, intelligence (I flat out asked his GPA) and passion for the profession that led him to the Alumni event (even though it was the third time he saw the international speaker that week) and therefore into a fieldwork placement. As well as now being in touch with a major international thinker on information literacy (props!) Student X got the opportunity through his fieldwork placement at MPOW to:
My mind has been buzzing with ideas as I have been lucky over the last few days to be gaining rich professional development opportunities. I will be trying to catch the ideas and distil them over the next few days for individual blog posts where appropriate, but here is a short list:
And finally, (another!) post to the NMRT list on a free program of professional development called 23 Things for Professional Development @cpd23 #cpd23. Looking at the list of programs, I already can and do play with a lot of those technologies, but am signing up to see what I can gain from it, and encourage you to too!
It is part of my professional development plan, however, to ensure that I don't burn out. Therefore I am going to put a lid on the ideas for further research and I the 8 degrees I want sign up for, and go home to some non-professional time.
See you tomorrow!
An interesting post on the NMRT-L elist today from an established professional in the American Library Association titled "A perspective on conference attendance and support". In the email the author points out that never have librarians been fully funded to attend conferences, that there is no "good old days" when professional development was not at least partly the responsibility of the professional, and generally the entire responsibility of a new graduate. Lorna writes:
"My first ALA in 1982 after working as a librarian for 2 years, was in Philadelphia where I stayed in a dorm, took a super cheap flight from Columbus to Philadelphia, and had most of my meals at a 7-11 across the street. But the experience of ALA– the speakers, the programs, exhibits, meeting other colleagues, was worth the money. And so it has been for these almost 30 years of regular ALA attendance. And trust me, a great portion has come out of my pocket and not because I am rich."
I wrote to Lorna asking her if I could include portions of her email in a paper I am writing about conference attendance in the LIS profession. She replied in the affirmative, saying that she was stunned at the reaction her email has gotten, which "was written off the top
of my head in response to some deliberations by an ALA committee I chair… When comments came in about the cost, I felt they were missing the point. It has always been expensive and the majority of us just ate the costs."
I have been thinking about the issue of the cost of conference attendance, especially in regards to the registration costs for #NLS5 that were released on Friday. I was surprised by the increase in cost since I attended NLS4 in Melbourne 2008. With the satellite day events, registration (member earlybird), library tours and the conference dinner, it's more than double what I paid in 2008. Then there's the flights to Perth and accommodation – a struggle for those of us on the east coast, though I'm really glad that the west is getting a national conference in their turf 🙂
I can afford it because I'm speaking so work is partly sponsoring me, I have a study grant that I am using to help me with conference attendance related to my research, and I am working full time in a non-graduate position. I am also able to take the opportunity to have a holiday afterwards. However I am wondering how students and more recent graduates are going to afford to go to what is bound to be an amazing event, and get the time off work.
I've been doing content analysis on the responses to my surveys last year on conference attendance, and it's clear that cost is a major issue for new graduates in choosing to attend conferences. Now this is not surprising, but I think it's worth remembering that it's not new.
Another quote from Lorna as she says it better than I can: "(W)e used to call going to
conferences "buying our raise" — professional involvement might be rewarded when raise time came around but support to go to the conferences was minimal to none. The money I have spent on conferences and professional development– completely worth it!"
So if you're still contemplating whether it's worth shelling out the money to get to Perth for a truly unique and fantastic experience that we as Australian librarians have access to, consider taking what I am dubbing The Lorna Initiative. Buy your raise, or your promotion, or your next job. Or buy your first librarian job by attending – there will be employers there on Friday at Satellite Workshop 3 talking about graduate programs and cadetship opportunities.
I hope to see you there!
What on earth? I hear you say.
How is that possible?
But… but… spam is EVIL!
Yes, I know. Unfortunately, I have been reduced to spamming. Although is it spamming if you're after specific information and are not trying to sell something? And if you send the same email but personalise it with the individual's name 13 times?
I have just emailed 13 separate individuals of the ALA NMRT because I have previously had no luck in getting information about:
a) the conference mentoring program I based my pilot project on
b) applying to present at ALA NMRT about my pilot project or even
c) just to talk to someone about the whole thing!
My Mum accused me of not trying hard enough. She refused to believe that NO-ONE had responded to my emails. Well, she's right, one person did. And they were lovely about it, saying they basically had no idea and couldn't help me.
So this time I have emailed half of the ALA NMRT committee (all of those I thought could perhaps be vaguely the right person/people) and hopefully will get a positive response from someone.
Either way, I'm going to ALA in 2012!
I received an email from a close friend of mine last night. She had seen the link to my first #blogjune post via Facebook or Twitter and rather than commenting publicly she wrote me an email. She notes
"your personal interests are are fairly much the same as your professional ones."
Now this is true, and in fact when I set up this blog it was deliberate that my professional and personal interests are pretty much identical. It is a comment on where I have found myself for the last 18 months or so – in a space where I seem to live, eat, and breathe librarianship and related issues. Part of the whole tongue-in-cheek name of this blog – Über – implies the obsession with which I engage in my profession.
But is my obsession more than that of a borderline workaholic? I believe my engagement with the profession that often gushes into my personal life is in direct correlation to how much I enjoy my job. Without that passionate interest in social media, professional development (mine and others), and engaging in lifelong learning, would I be as good a librarian? Would I have the same commitment to discovering and investigating areas that may be of future interest or use in my current or future work? I certainly don't want to become disengaged – I have worked with people who aren't as passionate as I am, or as work-focussed. And that's not necessarily a bad thing – we're all different.
Sometimes I wonder if it is just the way I'm wired. I am not the kind of person who can switch off very easily. I do struggle to make time in my life for that three letter word – "fun" – of which I have heard so much. The problem is for me, that I consider engaging in professional activities to be "fun". However as my good friend pointed out, all work and no play could make Naomi a very boring girl:
"Just like to offer a random and radical suggestion that maybe, you could broaden your hobbies."
Now she's lying there, it's not a random suggestion, this particular friend is always telling me I should get interested in something beyond work. Just a couple of weekends ago we had a pedicure date and I was talking about how I was going to do much less work once I had written a couple of papers that were due within the month. I was telling her how I was starting to realise that I needed some more external non-work stuff in my life.
Practically in the same breath however, I was also telling her that I was seriously considering applying for a high level job that is in the direction of where I may want to go into in a few years. I didn't think I'd get the job, or even get an interview, but I was seriously considering putting in an application as "practice".
I spent some time explaining how it was very important to keep your selection criteria skills up, and to consistently document your learning and achievements in work, because likely when it came time to writing a job application, you wouldn't remember a lot of the stuff that you've done. Now I do believe this, and it is advice I give new graduates. However it didn't even occur to me until she pointed it out that perhaps this was one of the things that I could drop if I was serious about not being so work obsessed. I was, after all, planning on spending the better part of my Sunday writing a job application for a job for which I was not adequately experienced, did not expect to even get an interview for, and indeed did not really want, as I am very happy in my current job and have no intention of leaving it any time soon. Although I wouldn't say no to a 15 grand pay bump 🙂
And now here I am, another month and another load of work-related stuff I'm already filling my time with. Of course there's Blog Every Day Of June, in which I am participating, and for which I decided to blog here, on my professional blog, rather than like I did last year, on a more personal ramblings blog. Then there's the conference paper I need to write in the next week or so. The workshop I need to prepare and find another presenter for. And of course my day job, which this month includes supervising a prac student, revising and updating our referencing content, rewriting some class material for semester two, lots of meetings and goodness knows what else that will come up over the next 28 days.
So I wonder where the personal will get an in. I do have a plan, however. On 30th June I'm celebrating my birthday by flying down to Melbourne for a few days to catch up with friends down there, and then a few days with my brother travelling the Great Ocean Road. It will be a work-free trip. So hopefully I can find the personal somewhere in yet another month of the professional.

If you would like to talk to someone else, the New Press, you can switch to the new.
Her fans are surely delighted to watch this busty Asian princess masturbating for their eyes only!
See more at the newly redesigned All Asian Pornstars Live!
For decades, pornography has been praised as the epitome of freedom of expression by men and at times women alike. And according to one of the nation's leading academics studying the effect of pornography -- a self-described "radical feminist" -- pornography is a key ingredient in that demand. Gail Dines, a professor of sociology and women's studies at Wheelock College who also chairs its American Studies department, said in comment for this piece that "we know that trafficking is increasing -- which means demand is increasing.
However, as time goes on, social conservatives and feminists alike -- as well as various media outlets and academic organizations -- are coming to agree that not only does pornography harm individuals and families, but it is also a major factor in the underground sex slave industry. This means that men are increasingly willing to have sex with women who are being controlled and abused by pimps and traffickers." "There are only two conclusions here: That men are naturally willing to do this to women -- biology -- or that they are being socialized by the culture to lose all empathy for women," Dines said.
Shot in five different cities, Lindbergh asked 14 famed actresses to participate in his vision—Jessica Chastain, Penelope Cruz, Nicole Kidman, Rooney Mara, Helen Mirren, Julianne Moore, Lupita Nyong'o, Charlotte Rampling, Lea Seydoux, Uma Thurman, Alicia Vikander, Kate Winslet, Robin Wright, and Zhang Ziyi].

"I refuse to accept that men are born rapists, porn users, or johns." "As an academic, a sociologist, and mother, I believe it is the way men are shaped by society," said Dines.Several of the bills aim to strengthen the State Department's weapons against traffickers, while others fill gaps in current law. "The biggest sex educator of young men today is pornography, which is increasingly violent and dehumanizing, and it changes the way men view women." Dines is not alone in her view.Whether you want dedicated cam models or pornstars, you can find whatever your heart ( and penis ) desires at All Asian Pornstars live!Who doesn't like to watch naked Asian girls masturbating in front of their webcam?

My wife asked me to look up the school menu and see what was for lunch tomorrow. I did and discovered something I've never heard of: "Asian Chicken Chunks." Hmmmmm...
My kids said they are great. Okay. I've traveled the world. I've been to multiple parts of Asia, and can appreciate the vast cultural differences in each place. I never knew there was a "chicken chunk" that represented the entirety of the Asian peoples. Apparently, there is. And, Person County Schools has them, or so I'm being led to believe.
I recently heard a This American Life article on National Public Radio that asserted pig bung is a suitable doppleganger for calimari. That being said, I suppose "Asian Chicken Chunks" are safe in comparison.
I wondered exactly what "Asian Chicken Chunks" looked like, so Google images is where I headed next. Having heard about the aforementioned bung, looks don't mean much to me.
Oh that I had time to investigate the great mysteries of life!

Screen Actors Guild President Alan Rosenberg said
there appears to be unanimous agreement that these actors will not cross. . . ."
This will be a victory for the writers; but, I assume NBC will force some of their current scabs to participate. Jay Leno and Conan O'Brien have been happy to participate in writer-less television, and I assume they will participate in the Golden Globes telecast, even if there are no actors or actresses to accept the awards.
Now is the time for all the other unions to come to the support of the writers. I am pleased to hear that the 72 actors nominated by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association will not cross the picket lines.
I am certain that the SAG decision is far from unanimous. I think there are plenty of conservative and neo-conservative actors whose interest in their union stops at the point when it becomes inconvenient. I am tempted to list the names of actors I think would be happy to cross the picket lines if they were nominated; but I will refrain.
Are there actors, composers, directors, producers or writers that you think would cross the line?
You can see the list of all nominees at the Golden Globe site.
Are you honoring the strike? Are you supporting David Letterman and Craig Ferguson while boycotting Jay Leno, Conan O'Brien and Jimmy Kimmell?
Wake Up, You're Liberal!

Iphone dating sim anime Live free naughty chat in chennai online
In the end, it is just a game and most people are not crazy enough to take it too seriously.
We would recommend you to try out New Love Plus that was released in 2014. In New Love Plus , you will be playing the role of a new transfer student and meet 3 girls named Manaka, Rinko, and Nene.
Lots of players get turned onto these aspects from story and character-driven Bio Ware games like Dragon Age, and if you're a fan of those, I have a few recommendations to help welcome you into the otome genre.
While all you need to be "good at" is reading and making choices -- don't worry if you don't normally play games -- there are some important things to know about how these games work.
Tools like multiple save slots, quick-save features, and the ability to skip text and rewind help players efficiently pursue every potential partner character and reveal every story path.
It's like backwards-engineering a narrative database -- and you may be surprised to find how much the story changes when you focus on a different partner each time. Hakuoki is a period piece, taking place in the Bakumatsu period of Japan at the time of civil unrest between the Emperor and the Shogun.
While the endings of most dating sims are that you finally get to be with the girl/guy you like, it just does not end that way in New Love Plus .
My best friend got the original Sims game when it came out in 2000, and I remember staying up late with her playing it for hours.
It was so much fun being able to create our own world where we could be whoever we wanted to be and do whatever we wanted to do.
Or — if you're more into fantasy games — you can play Knights and Brides and duel other players online.
You may just capture the heart of a clever princess or brave knight while you're at it!

Created with the intention of improving intimacy between partners as well as enhancing solo play, Warm allows users to warm their sex toys of various sizes and explore the unique sensations they create. It was developed after a passionate evening between company owners Janine and LJ. Wanting to romance his love, LJ warmed up their sex toys for Janine to enjoy more pleasure. The effort had a profound effect on Janine. Not only from the remarkable sensations the warmed toys created but the deeply emotional reaction she had as a result of his caring and forethought.
"To have foreplay taken to such a whole new level, one that involved something being prepared completely for my indulgent pleasure, broke open my ability to receive pleasure and intimate connection in a way I had never experienced," Janine said. "as our relationship continued I discovered passions I didn't even know I had. One of those (I realized) was to find a way to make what I was enjoying into a marketable product so others could feel the difference too!"
A VIP sales manager with a background in luxury salons and spas, Janine collaborated with LJ to create Warm Inc., and its namesake flagship product to bring the heat inspired by their experiences to others. LJ brings 25 years of experience in engineering, product development, and international business to the company. Because Warm is a personal and emotionally inspired project, LJ wanted to create something really special. He worked for two years on prototype development and testing to make their vision for Warm a reality. LJ shares, "We have been blown away by the great response and the support we are receiving."
Already, the media is talking about Warm. Dr. Emily Morse of the "Sex with Emily" podcast says, "Warm is the luxurious way to enhance your sensual playtime, and the perfect addition to anyone's pleasure product collection. Warm will definitely heat up your intimate moments." Elle Chase says, "Warm is a completely new genre in pleasure products. There is a market for Warm, definitely."
Warm can be found online at ExperienceWarm.com and at Pleasure Chest locations across the country.

About Warm
Established Warm was founded in 2015 by two real life lovers, luxury industry sales veteran Janine and corporate executive LJ, with the goal of enhancing intimacy. The namesake warming system provides a discreet way to safely heat sex toys of various sizes, shapes and materials for a more satisfying sensory experience. Warm plays tribute to the idea that varying degrees of temperature are known to "warm" things up, which is exactly what the founders intended. The innovative warming elements complement existing adult products and are housed in a classic, stylish clutch with the distinct purpose of manifesting heightened sensual experiences. The Warm franchise is committed to the highest standards of safety and integrity and aims to enhance personal, intimate accessories to create a deeper level of communication, trust and vulnerability.

thank you.
i could have written so many more words, but the one thing that kept coming to mind was "thank you."
in the Washington Post today, they had a section in 'opinions' that consisted of things that people – pundits, politicians, executives, military, and even a comedy writer – thought should be Obama's first course of action. each writer mentioned something different, from the war in Iraq to healthcare to taxes to the economy. there are so many important causes on this list of necessities for fixing, and it's going to be a quite some time before each can be addressed. to be strong to the world, we need to be strong at home first – and a long road of repair lies ahead of us. but even still, we have hope.
and with hope, anything can happen. with hope, there's motivation. and with motivation, there's individual contribution. and with this contribution, even as simple as remembering to turn the lights off before we leave the house, or by helping our kids with their homework, we can begin to create change. it may be small on an individual level, but start adding up those little bits on a national level, and now we have a tidal wave of positive change.
so, thank you.
thank you for giving us hope in these tumultuous times.

Top tips for a successful handwashing culture
On Saturday 5th May, the WHO (World Health Organization) is calling on health facilities to prevent health care-associated sepsis through hand hygiene and infection prevention and control (IPC) action. Good handwashing practice not only plays a key role in the prevention of sepsis in healthcare, but can also help fight the spread of antibiotic resistance. It is an easy, affordable and effective way to achieve continued health, wellbeing and productivity – in our homes, schools, work places and of course in our hospitals and health facilities. Put simply, good hand hygiene benefits everybody, everywhere.

What would Southland have then? Just Mayor Tim and his clapped out concrete mixer.
At least if the smelter did go, JafaLand might have a guaranteed power supply for a few more years.
But seriously, under the Law of Unintended Consequences, she is ready to allow probably the largest industrial employer in the country to head to closure over emissions. Shame the hot air and particulate emissions from her electorate are following the same principles by not being included in the carbon tax scheme.
As one of her own rightly notes about the introduction of this scheme
we're all stuffed.

Clemson's perennially strong men's golf team began the fall season out of the national spotlight, but that changed quickly. Four tournaments later, the Tigers have climbed to 11th in one national poll and 12th in another, and coach Larry Penley sees plenty of possibilities for improvement.
"We're more consistent now," Penley said. "Miller Capps, Stephen Behr, Carson Young and Austin Langdale have played some great golf and all have had top-10 finishes. But we've had a constant struggle to find the fifth (productive) player. We've got him; we just have to find him."
The most obvious candidate is senior Cody Proveaux, a stalwart for three years who has been plagued with inconsistency. He had 14 birdies, second most in the field, in three rounds in last weekend's U.S. Collegiate – and finished 79th.
"We think and hope he will come out of his slump," Penley said. "His 'good' is 'great,' but for whatever reason, he can't put rounds together. He just has to play through it, and I'm confident he will. He had some excellent summer tournaments before the slump started at the State Amateur (in August).
"He can be our best player. He has great experience and the others really rally around him. They're more confident, and we're a better team when he plays well."
The Tigers played what Penley called three excellent tournaments and one really bad one in the fall, and they head into their winter break brimming with confidence after a third-place finish in the U.S. Collegiate. The field included seven of the nation's top 10 teams, and Clemson posted the tournament's best round, 8-under par, on the final day.
"That's a great way to finish the fall season," he said. "We didn't need a bad week, and we got a very good one. We beat a lot of very good teams and it's a shot in the arm for us while we take some time off."
The Tigers feature a wealth of experience. Behr, the leading scorer at 71.3, is a graduate student. Capps (72.4) and Proveaux (75.5) are seniors, and Langdale (72.08) and Young (73.3) are juniors. Freshman Peter Mathison has played in two tournaments and freshmen Coleman Self and Bryson Nimmer in one each. Behr and Langdale tied for second in the Carpet Classic, Young finished fifth in the Nike Invitational and Capps placed eighth in the U.S. Collegiate.
"We're pleased with where we are, but we know we have room for improvement," Penley said. "We're going to take a look at what we've done well in the fall and see we need to do to get better. There's work to do, but it's nice to finish the fall on a good note."
The Tigers begin their spring schedule in the Puerto Rico Classic in February and their tournaments include the Clemson Invitational, set for April at the Cliffs at Keowee Falls.

The Par Tee Golf Center is offering specials on grips and balls to help fund the center's PGA Junior League team's participation in the national finals in Orlando, Fla. "One hundred percent of the sales go directly to the trip," Par Tee owner Tom Mason said. Three styles of Golf Pride grips, including installation, are offered at half price, and OnCore balls are on sale for $25 a dozen with each purchase including a free hat and large bucket of range balls. ... Joe Hackler (Myrtle Beach) edged John Laehn (Aiken) by one shot to win the SCGA's Super Senior tournament at Florence CC. Three-time champion Bob Stringer (Blythewood) finished third. ... Jeff Abbot will become executive director of the Carolinas PGA Section in January. Abbot, currently head of the Tennessee PGA Section, will replace Ron Schmid, the long-time head of the 2,000-member Carolinas Section, who is retiring. ... The annual Tiger Golf Gathering is scheduled Dec. 3-4 at Thornblade Club (Greer) and the Cliffs at Mountain Park (Travelers Rest). The fundraiser benefits Clemson's golf teams, the school's Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism Management and the South Carolina Junior Golf Association. Information is available at www.tigergolfgathering.com.

a couple weeks ago, i had brussel sprouts with my meal at the dakota that left me with a craving for more. i've never really cooked them before, so after looking up some brussel sprout hash recipes, i decided just to wing and see what happened. i'm really glad that what happened turned out to really good and hearty!
1 lb fresh brussel sprouts, quartered
3 medium new potatoes, cubed
3 slices bacon (i used fischer farms bacon – local and totally drool-making)
1/2 cup chicken broth
about 2 T olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
start bacon cooking in a big frying pan. while bacon is cooking, boil potatoes in a small pot for about 8 minutes, in a rolling boil – drain and set aside
once the bacon is done, set aside on a paper towel to soak up some of the grease, wipe off the frying pan, add the potatoes and 1 T of olive oil and get them cooking
while the potatoes are frying, you can use the same potato pot for the sprouts – add the chicken stock and sprouts to the pot, cover, bring to light boil and steam sprouts for 10-12 minutes, use tongs to remove the sprouts from the pot and add them directly to the frying pan with the potatoes – add the remaining 1T of olive oil – mix everything up and cook on a medium heat until the veggies have reached your desired consistency
crumble the bacon and add right before eating. salt and pepper to taste.
SO good.

4 oz 70% dark chocolate, chopped
2 oz semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup unsalted butter
3/4 tsp coffee granules
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
2 eggs + 1 egg yolk
1/2 cup + 2 tbsp all purpose flour
1 tbsp cocoa powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350F and line a 8×8 baking dish with parchment paper.
Combine the dark and semi sweet chocolate, butter and coffee granules in a microwave safe bowl. Cover and cook in the microwave for 30 seconds and stir. Microwave an extra 15 seconds to melt the butter and chocolate entirely. Stir in sugar and dissolve completely. Let cool to room temperature.
Mix in the eggs, then fold in the flour, cocoa, salt and vanilla extract and combine until just incorporated. Make sure no flour is not visibly left, but no more. Fold in 1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips.
Pour batter into a baking dish and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean, about 28-30 minutes. Allow brownies to cool completely in the pan. Pull out parchment paper and cut into squares and serve.

On Wednesday, Tony Schwartz, co-author for Trump's memoir Art of the Deal, is predicting that Trump is going to resign.
Schwartz started off his series of tweets by criticizing Trump:
Think of Trump as a toddler w/ reactive attachment disorder, and therefore in a permanent virulent tantrum. His development ended at age 7.
— Tony Schwartz (@tonyschwartz) August 16, 2017
Remember that every time Trump criticizes and demeans someone he is projecting his deep sense of inadequacy & self-hatred onto others.
— Tony Schwartz (@tonyschwartz) August 16, 2017
Then he talked about his prediction:
The circle is closing at blinding speed. Trump is going to resign and declare victory before Mueller and congress leave him no choice.
— Tony Schwartz (@tonyschwartz) August 16, 2017
Trump's presidency is effectively over. Would be amazed if he survives till end of the year. More likely resigns by fall, if not sooner.
— Tony Schwartz (@tonyschwartz) August 16, 2017
In response to a question, Schwartz predicts that Trump is going to make a deal for immunity:
he has gone over the line of acceptability so far there is no return. the Russia stuff will be huge. he doesn't want to go to jail.
— Tony Schwartz (@tonyschwartz) August 17, 2017
He also went after Trump's kids but he later deleted it:
He ended his series of tweets with:
Trump must be isolated. Resistance every day. The end is near but must keep pressure high.
— Tony Schwartz (@tonyschwartz) August 16, 2017
This is not the first time Schwartz had made this prediction. He has been talking a similar talk since May.
During his interview with Anderson Cooper on CNN, Schwartz stated, "I surely believe that at some point over the next period of time he's going to have to figure out a way to resign." He also added that Trump will try to "figure out a way, as he has done all his career, to turn a loss into a victory so he will declare victory when he leaves.
Last year he advised Hillary Clinton's campaign for free.
"This is my penance for having created a man who has become a monster, and I've spent 30 years feeling bad about it. Now I feel like I've got to show there's nobody behind the curtain," Schwartz stated.
Last fall, he gave $55,000 in royalties that he made over the past six months from Art Of The Deal to the National Immigration Law Center, an organization that aids low-income immigrants.

Disney just keeps getting better. Seriously.
Yes, the program is hard work and yes, the hours you work mean you don't get home until 4 am occasionally but there are so many memories and fantastic experiences that happen while you're working that makes it all worthwhile.
For example: I have a lot of shifts where I'm working during Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween parties and I always look forward to those nights. Not only because I love the guest's costumes but because on these nights, work is never work, it's always fun.
My coworkers and I are allowed to watch the parades as long as we aren't busy so we go out onto Main Street right in front of our location and we sing along to the music, clap, and even dance a bit.
Before I continue with my story, I'm going to give you the music to the Boo to You parade to get you in the mood.
Yes, we all sing along to that song. Catchy isn't it?
Anyway, We've gotten in the habit of doing silly things for some of the characters who pass by in the parade to not only give the guests in front of us some great photo ops and character interactions but to also give the characters in the parade something fun.
We've gotten Peter to crow, Captain Jack Sparrow to give us hand hearts [but only if we scream loud enough for him]. We also do the Crocodile clap when Captain Hook passes by so he gets scared in addition to so many other things.
The guests who walk past us on their way into or out of the park also get in the mood and join in with our antics, smiling, laughing, and singing along. Some of them even dance as they pass by which is always funny. It's great that as cast members, we have a chance to impact a guests night just the same way that they can impact our nights.
Tonight is not only another Halloween party but it's also the night when Mike gets here and I have 3 days off.
We already have two reservations at restaurants on Disney property [Kona Cafe at the Polynesian and Olivia's at the Old Key West Resort] and we have plans to check out the Epcot Food and Wine Festival! I'm also looking forward to see if Mike will enjoy being back here as a guest after he had his first visit ever to the Walt Disney World resort in March.
I hope that during his visit we can get our picture taken with Belle and the Beast, watch Wishes together in the Hub, and possibly ride Rock 'n' Roller Coaster since those are a few things that we didn't get to in March.
Oh, I almost forgot to mention that I had my phone interview for Disney's Professional Internships yesterday morning and I'm hoping it went well. My interviewer's name was Peggy and the interview lasted exactly 15 minutes. She asked me questions about each of the roles that I applied for and I tried to answer them the best that I could. Based on the questions I was asked, I think that I might be considered more for the Event Planning or Guest Relations Internships but I don't know. Even if I don't get selected to participate in the Professional Internships, I am planning on trying to stay down here to continue working for the Walt Disney Company because I'm absolutely loving it.
I hope that you all have a wonderfully spooky day! Oh, and feel free to comment if you want. :]

Internet Writing: WHRRRRRRRRRRRRR
I read many blogs. I have so many bookmarked I can't get to them all every month, let alone every week. I enjoy the perspectives, the myriad topics, and the styles & tastes present in this vast cornucopia of the Web.
Today I went back to the blog of a man whose experience I respect greatly: Bob Bly, the ultimate copywriter. He posted a very poignant question that I believe everyone should read:
Has the Internet killed writing and literacy?
I'm sure we've all gone to websites and read content we couldn't understand. We've all received emails from colleagues, friends, even family that look like they switched their spellcheck with a garbage disposal. I find it extremely frustrating, particularly when businesses do it. Yeah, I'm a copywriter, it's my job to turn out copy that's crisp, on-message, and geared toward a specific job. It's also assumed that I won't make any typos or big grammatical errors.
So, as an example, what am I supposed to think when I go to an ad agency's website - one I already know from word-of-mouth, to boot - and I find typos ALL OVER their homepage?
Will I be impressed by their snappy site design? No.
Am I going to think they're a very professional firm, one I'd be proud to work with? Unlikely.
Am I going to contact them about doing business? Only if they want to get their content redone!
If you've got a website, double-check its content for typos. Read it through and say it aloud, to see if anything sounds wonky or doesn't flow. It's the little things, folks. The little things like sentence structure & correct spelling, that make all the difference between a professional look and an amateur.
