Molto Mario's Farmer's Market
The Place: Mario Batali's warehouse for his three Las Vegas restaurants.
The address: 7485 South Dean Martin Drive, Suite 106 (a half mile north of Blue Diamond Road on the west side of the street).
The time: Every Thursday beginning from 11:00 AM – 2:00 PM.
The goods: Fruits and vegetables and herbs like you're not going to see anywhere else in town + compelling delights like smoked goat cheese, agretti, cinammon-spun honey, and micro-greens from HYRO-GREENS in Parumph.
The selection: Limited, but either locally grown or trucked in from SoCal — not flown in from South America.
The rules: Cash only.
The people we should thank: Mario Batali, Kerry Clasby, Zach Allen, Doug Taylor, and all the growers and producers who take the time to grow and bring the good stuff.

This is great ELV, thank you for sharing. Your recent reports on the subject of the growth of local farmer's markets in Las Vegas and the emergence of local purveryor's has caught a lot of interest among the foodie cognoscenti from across America–many of them skeptics of the Las Vegas dining scene. Let's hope the movement continues–not just with the Chefs of Las Vegas, but in home kitchens.
Now ELV, let's see your best efforts in the kitchen with the aforementioned smoked goat cheese and some of the beautiful vegetables you've displayed above.
elv, you getting a peice of marios action? how many times are you gonna plug this market????
has a clue AKA lil Billy Richardson. shut up!
nope, im not 'him' but nice try
Hi, I was wondering if the market will be every week this summer? Is there a contact email or number I can get in touch with?
will they be considering doing a market on a friday or saturday for people that work during the week and would come on their day off no one in town has a market on weekends why? SATURDAY would be an ideal day i am
sure there would be a great customer turn out.
There's a Saturday and Sunday market in the planning stages right now. Sit tight, it will be worth the wait.
Will the market be open this Thursday?
I would like to come but have to be at work at 11 on thurs. Will they let the public in a little early…maybe 10?
It is open to chefs at 10:30 and they shouldn't mind you.
Mario LanzaMario Lanza Lanza,Mario BCS4DVD 129 00789984012963.
Hmmmmph. Went there today at 1:00 only to find them all but completely packed up and closed for the day. The info on line said they were open till 2 (although I also found somewhere that they were open till 4!).
Furthermore, the location is barely marked, and nothing more than a space in one of those "construction/furniture" oriented stripmalls….. I would NEVER have found it at all if I hadn't fed the address into my car's navigation system. I didn't see much evidence of any farmer's market items… I will give it one more try, but being open only 2 hours, all the way across town, is less than conducive to a repeat visit. Please someone tell me that the trip is worth it…….. Thanks. PS PLEASE get your online info consistent! Thanks!

Is it true that if you eat Haram food your salat does not get accepted for 40 days ?
Praise be to Allaah.
If you eat haraam food, this will cause your du'aa' to be rejected, hence it was reported in a hadeeth qudsi: "He is nourished with haraam, so how could his du'aa' be responded to?." The meaning is that it is unlikely that his du'aa' will be answered. But salaah (prayer), which includes du'aa' and other things, will still be accepted, in the sense that it serves to fulfil his obligations, and he does not have to repeat it. What was narrated was that it is the one who drinks alcohol whose prayer will not be accepted for forty days.

Passion Fruit and Lemon Meringue Tartlets are a quintessential Parisian pastry seen in so many patisseries! You can make them in your own kitchen, though, with the help of Jill from Mad About Macarons!
Before you think these are too difficult or complicated or you to make, please read the step by step directions. You'll see that breaking it down into little parts makes it so much simpler!
This post includes Amazon affiliate links for your convenience, but at no additional cost to you.
I recently wrote about the numerous friends I've met online through blogging. One of those newfound friends is fellow Scot, and cookbook author, Jill Colonna who now lives in France.
Besides writing cookbooks, she leads walks around Paris from pâtisserie to pâtisserie, sampling the most amazing pastries, chocolates and macarons, while staying slim and trim. This would be reason enough to dislike her, but I don't know how anyone could ever dislike Jill because even through written correspondence her perky personality and joyful nature come through loud and clear.
I can't wait to meet her in person, but in the meantime, I'm going to make do with a copy of her latest, lovely cookbook, Teatime in Paris! A Walk Through Easy French Pâtisserie Recipes. Jill's publisher has allowed me to share her Passion Fruit and Lemon Meringue Tartlets recipe with you.
Disclaimer: I was given a copy of this book for review purposes and some passion fruit from Frieda's Produce, however, all opinions are my own.
Essentially, this is an entire book of foodporn: page after page of delectable desserts, pastries, cakes and of course, macarons. This is actually Jill's second cookbook; her first one is named, Mad About Macarons, and as you would surmise, focuses on the art of making macarons like the French.
Jill's book is exactly what I look for in a cookbook: beautiful photos of each recipe (so you know what the end result should look like), and clear and concise, step by step instructions (and photos), for fail proof results.
Case in point, my tartlets look just like Jill's photo in her book! Success! Frieda's Produce provided me with the lovely passion fruits so I could make this creation and it was my first time tasting and baking with them! Verdict: I love passion fruit, and of course they're good for you. Check them out here at Frieda's Produce.
I would love to make almost every single recipe in Teatime in Paris (I spotted a fig tart; you know me and figs)! This is really a feat in a cookbook as many times, I end up putting them back on the shelf when I am considering buying one, as there just aren't enough recipes that appeal to me. Well, Teatime in Paris is a book I would buy; and many of my friends have perused the book and loved it, too.
Jill and her publisher have been kind enough to offer a Teatime in Paris cookbook to one of my lucky readers,
so enter on the Rafflecopter widget at the very bottom of this post, and good luck to you (this contest is actually open to US and UK residents this time)! CONTEST HAS ENDED.
Note: as I have stated on previous recipes, baking is a science, and baking and cooking French pastries requires a scale, or you will be sorely disappointed. Weighing is so much more precise than using cups, and scales are now so slimline (I keep mine in a small drawer) and readily available in stores like Bed Bath and Beyond, or even on Amazon, (this is similar to the one I use) at very reasonable prices. You'll thank me in future!
Jill's book is a treasure trove of demystified French pastries, from éclairs and cream puffs to tartlets, madeleines and even ice cream, ensuring there will be something for everyone.
I honestly can't wait to make more of Jill's creations from Teatime in Paris, but first I'd love to share her Passion Fruit and Lemon Meringue Tartlets recipe with you. Her recipe is impeccable, and I must say, I was very impressed with the results, and so was everyone who tried the tartlets. The passion fruit is tart, much like a lemon, but imparts another lovely, almost floral flavor to the pastries. This won't be the last time I make these beauties!
Passion Fruit and Lemon Meringue Tartlets
recipe by Jill Colonna from Teatime in Paris (slightly adapted by me, for US bakers)
makes 8 tartlets
Sweet Pastry
125g good quality butter (I use Kerrygold), at room temperature
75g confectioner's (icing) sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
240g all purpose flour, sifted
zest of one lemon (unwaxed, preferably organic)
juice of 2 passion fruits and 1 to 2 lemons to make up 100g of juice
100g sugar
2 eggs
90g cold butter, cut into pieces
3/8 tsp powdered gelatin
Meringue topping
2 egg whites
90g sugar
Special equipment: tartlet molds/tins, and a kitchen torch is recommended, but not necessary
A note about passion fruits: the fruit in the photo above are unripe, after a day or two, they will begin to wrinkle, indicating that they are ripe. You can then cut them in half and scoop out the seeds to eat or use.
Make the pastry by placing the butter, sugar and salt in a stand mixer, and beat until pale and creamy. Gradually add the egg, vanilla and flour until well-mixed, then stop. Form into a ball, wrap in cling wrap and chill for at least an hour.
Remove from the fridge and preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C) convection (fan assisted). Regular ovens temps will be 350°F (180°C).
Roll the pastry out to 1/8 to 3/16″ thickness using a rolling pin and turning regularly on a lightly floured surface (not too much flour or it will affect the pastry).
Cut around each tart mold a little larger, so that the pastry will overhang when placed inside; press the pastry into the mold, then press the rolling pin over the top, to make a clean edge.
Prick the base of the tartlet with the tines of a fork.
Repeat the process with the remaining dough to make 7 more shells. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, depending on your oven or until the pastry just starts to turn golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool, then remove from molds and set aside.
Make the filling for the Passion Fruit and Lemon Meringue Tartlets by first, juicing the passion fruits. Cut in half, scrape the seeds into a small sieve and push with the back of a teaspoon to remove the juice from the seeds. Add the juice of a lemon or two to make 100ml of juice, total. There won't be a lot of juice, but don't be afraid, the flavor comes through.
Mix the gelatin with a tablespoon of water and set aside.
Place the passion fruit/lemon juice mixture into a small saucepan with the sugar, zest and eggs and whisk over medium heat until it boils and thickens. Remove from the heat, strain to remove the zest then whisk in the gelatin and butter.
Pour the filling directly into the tartlet shells and place in the fridge until just before serving.
When ready to serve, make the meringue topping. Whisk the egg whites at medium-high speed in a stand mixer and gradually add the sugar when the whites begin to froth. Increase the speed to high, and continue adding the sugar until the meringue forms strong, glossy peaks.
Spoon or pipe the meringue onto the top of each tartlet, spreading it evenly over the entire filling.
Jill says to use the back of the spoon to make little cones, or peaks to decorate the topping.
When all the Passion Fruit and Lemon Meringue tartlets are topped, bake in very hot oven, 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes. (Alternatively, brown with a kitchen torch, which is what I did.) Remove from oven and chill until ready to serve.
Variations: You can just use lemon juice (100ml), rather than adding the passion fruit; you can serve these without the meringue and topped with fruit, or make a chocolate pastry instead.
Jill suggests serving Passion Fruit and Lemon Meringue Tartlets with Ceylon or gunpowder teas. (I'll have to google the latter!) Bon appétit!

Basic Information
Precursors are a speculative fiction trope that functions as a narrative device and sometimes even appears as a character. The Precursors refers to one or more intelligent species that predates mankind. In ancient times, the precursors spread throughout the universe, possibly seeded the galaxy with life, and then vanished.
Species which have managed most of the above, except for the vanishing bit, tend to be sufficiently advanced aliens.
Naturally enough, they also created any precursor artifacts - whether for good, evil or mystery. How long ago the precursors vanished will determine whether or not such artifacts are remarkable merely by their survival or not … and of course, what the precursors intended them to be used for, and what they are actually used for may be two very different things.
An outside possibility may also be that the precursors are still around but have transformed into a state in which they are no longer recognised - perhaps by regression into primitives or by uploading their consciousness into computers. An existing involved species - sufficiently advanced or otherwise - may have a secret group of precursors under their care somewhere1.
Precursor types:
Abusive Precursors
Ancient Astronauts
Benevolent Precursors
Energy Beings
Neglectful Precursors
Sufficiently Advanced Aliens
What happened to them:
Ascend To A Higher Plane Of Existence
Things associated with Precursors:
Genetic Engineering
Imported Alien Phlebotinum
Stellar Megastructure
Lost Technology
Sufficiently Advanced Technology
Game and Story Use
- Precursors make a great source of plot devices and magic items. They can have all sorts of superscience technology or magic and powers, capable of doing anything. Since it's so advanced, the PCs will be unable to duplicate or repair such devices, and they won't be available for purchase at any old Ye Olde Magick Shoppe. As a result, the GM has the ability to fine-tune how much uberpower is available in the campaign.
- On the other hand, some care needs be taken to keep things fun for the players. Some players really enjoy the scavenger hunt of gathering up precursor artifacts, while others may be annoyed that the best toys are so tightly controlled by the GM.

Could the fractious client-agency relationship have been salvaged if agencies had been willing to take less than 15% commission?
"Losing the 15% media commission was the biggest game changer in the ad business since it started," contends Gary Burandt, who worked across the world for Young & Rubicam before becoming executive director of ICOM, an independent agency network. He retired from that post in 2015 and now serves as an adjunct professor of marketing at the University of Denver and gives guest lectures at the universities of Missouri and Colorado. He's been married for 50 years to the "extraordinary" Harriet "Freddye" Krumrey, a teacher and author of children's books.
Gary said the commission system worked well for decades, but by the 1980s because of inflated media costs it was getting too favorable to the agencies. The fat profits were an incentive for agency chieftains to sell out to the newly emerging holding companies at big multiples -- spurring the consolidation of the agency business in a few hands.
At about the same time, freestanding media-buying operations started to develop in Europe offering clients (sometimes competing clients) cheaper rates based on combined volume.
"In retrospect it would have been better for the agencies to voluntarily agree to a lower commission of 10% and keep a system in place that was working well," Gary said, noting that the conversion to client fees and hourly rates "has made no one happy and has become a distraction on both sides."
There's no longer money available for agencies to do training and invest in new talent, Gary said. And, he added, "an inordinate amount of agency time is spent on accounting rather than growing the client's business."
On the client side, procurement people, "who know little about the agency business, are now involved in writing compensation contracts and rewarded for squeezing more and more out of the agency. Agency reviews are too often won by the lowest bidder rather than the most capable." And agency-of-record agreements are vanishing along with the security they provided to take risks.
Too often junior (cheaper) staff are assigned to major accounts to assure profitability. The work and service suffers, Gary says.
It's a difficult situation for both clients and agencies. "Hard to find common ground when trust has been lost and 'face' is on the line."
Gary, in his days at ICOM, was always looking for ways to give his agencies an edge, and he viewed the abortive merger attempt between Publicis and Omnicom as a "giant opportunity." At the time, he told them that there would be "a lot of Publicis and Omnicom agencies being very distracted in the near term."
Before the merger went south, he'd counseled shops to "quickly review the agencies involved in your marketplace and the clients they serve for conflicts. … Make contact with the clients involved in the conflict and say, 'We're an established agency, we're run by people in the marketplace. You don't have to go through the insecurity that's bound to happen with this merger.'"
Independent agencies and networks should have been championing this alternative all along, Gary conceded, "but the merger is an impetus to do it now. Now's the time to approach those clients and give them a secure alternative in their marketplace without having to give up international resources."
Gary's great challenge was to keep his agencies away from the talent-hunting multinationals. "It's my most frequent nightmare," he said. As a former Y&R exec, Gary came to believe that money can't buy independence. He worked for 25 years at Y&R, leading agency offices in many parts of the globe, including Moscow, Paris and Singapore, where he ran the Asia-Pacific region in a partnership with Dentsu. For him, the advantage of not having shareholders and not having to send checks every month to different countries was significant.
Gary pointed out that there are still places in the world where the commission system continues and media-buying shops have not been established, including most of Latin America and India.
He said most of the big media agencies, many now worth more than their general agency progenitors, developed out of the international agencies' media operations and operate under a holding company umbrella.
You'd think it would give the independent agencies an advantage to offer media buying as part of their services, but many independents around the world no longer have a media-buying function and work with a media shop they have a relationship with or that their clients choose.
It probably wasn't going to happen that agencies on their own would have agreed to take a lower commission, even if that's what it took to keep the commission system in place, Gary concedes.
"But what could have happened is the 4A's and the ANA agreed to continue the commission system at a lower percentage. … Ten percent seems right and makes the math easy," Gary said, and the agreement could have also provided for a periodic review.
Whether or not such an agreement would have violated the Department of Justice's consent decree with the 4A's and five media associations from requiring that its members charge a 15% commission is debatable. Maybe a sliding-scale commission would have passed muster.
Gary admits it would be "nearly impossible to return to the simple commission system that provides good value to clients, fair compensation to agencies and a lot less rancor between the two.
"Nearly impossible -- but may be worth a serious look for the future of the business."

Lipo-6 Unlimited is the latest big name fat loss supplement to be released by Nutrex. The product name itself lends itself to big claims and as soon as you read Nutrex's marketing material, it's evident that their intention is to market the product directly in line with its bold name. For example, Lipo-6 Unlimited is marketed to provide the user with unlimited fat burning, appetite control, energy and focus. Quite a list really! While it's fair to say that most sensible users won't necessarily take these claims on face value, Nutrex' marketing is no doubt intended to sway individuals more susceptible to such forms of marketing.
Lipo-6 Unlimited Ingredients
While anyone can talk a product up any which way they like, what it really boils down to is what's in the bottle. As we've come to expect from Nutrex, the ingredients in Lipo-6 Unlimited are in the form of a 'proprietary blend'. In the case of Lipo-6 Unlimited, this blend equates to a total of 774.5mg active ingredients for every 2 liquid capsules, which is the standard serving size.
Lipo-6 Unlimited Australian Version
In keeping with their existing products, Lipo-6 Unlimited contains a number of ingredients (i.e. caffeine anhydrous, n-acetyl-l-tyrosine, citrus aurantium) already featured in their other fat burners such as Lipo-6 and Hemo Rage. Ingredients unique to Lipo-6 Unlimited include mucuna pruriens (40% l-dopa), paullinia cupana (22% caffeine) and dendrobium nobile (5% alkaloids). At the time of writing, these ingredients are the ones that feature in the US version of Lipo-6 Unlimited. Before it is able to be sold in Australia, Lipo-6 Unlimited will need to have its formula revised to comply with Australian standards. So it's hard to say which of the existing ingredients in Lipo-6 Unlimited will be cut and what ones will be added.
Lipo-6 Unlimited Target Market
With Lipo-6 being such a major success for Nutrex, there's no doubt that the release of Lipo-6 Unlimited is an attempt to further leverage the success of the 'Lipo-6' brand. With its name and ingredients, the 'Unlimited' version of Lipo-6 is no doubt targeted at the more hardcore trainer and/or those who have used Lipo-6 successfully and may be eager to try another incarnation of the product. Nonetheless, it reasonable to assume Lipo-6 Unlimited will be a highly anticipated product that will be received warmly once it hits shelfs in Australia.

The correct term for Autism is now Autism Spectrum Disorder or ASD. Autism is called a "spectrum" disorder, because how it affects people can vary widely. Some of the individuals with ASD are severely affected, are non-verbal and will require life-long care. However, many people with ASD have average to above average intelligence, can be successful academically and may be able to live independently. These individuals are often termed "High Functioning" (HFA), or "Aspergers" after Hans Asperger who first described this syndrome. Nevertheless, people with HFA have difficulty in interpreting social clues, may have problems with verbal communication and trouble "fitting in". The result is that only about 20% of adults with HFA are employed, and many are under-employed in low skill jobs that do not utilize their intelligence and talents. The Specialists Guild is focused on helping people on the higher end of the Autism Spectrum, since government services are typically not available to people who are not also intellectually or physically impaired.
The diagnosis of Autism has steadily increased in the past 20 years. The latest CDC studies suggest that 1 of every 50 babies born in America today is on the Autism Spectrum. These babies will become adults. Successful integration of individuals with HFA into our society, and into the work force, is a critical issue from both an economic and a human rights perspective.

Is Booking.com the most persuasive mobile website in the world?
This question refers to a similar article published by our esteemed contributor Paul Rouke last year.
In his article asking whether Booking.com is the most persuasive website in the world Paul discovered that over the years Booking.com has continually evolved and refined its online experience, adding the fundamentals of persuasive design in order to gain a competitive advantage.
By using visual appeal and retaining the user's attention through clarity, strong visual hierarchy and utilising one primary action per screen, Booking.com provides a compelling user experience.
However in light of new research looking at top mobile travel sites, I'm going to investigate whether this persuasiveness translates to the mobile experience.
18 companies with brilliant digital strategies
It occurred to me that amongst the Econsultancy blog team we certainly have our favourite companies as far as digital ambition and execution are concerned.
So I'm simply going to round up some companies that have done good things on this front and see if our readers get annoyed by any omissions or, indeed, inclusions.
So, here are 18 digital trailblazers. A lot of them are involved solely in ecommerce but not all of them.
N.B. I've deliberately excluded agencies and what I think of as tech companies, though that distinction is a little difficult to make in some areas.
Hamburger menus for mobile navigation: do they work?
Hamburger menus are ubiquitous in mobile web design, but the jury is out on whether the little three-lined icon actually works.
A lot of people hate hamburger menus because they feel not everyone knows what it means and that menu options are hidden from view.
However much of the negative feeling seems to be based on a vague notion that the icon harms the user experience, without any actual evidence to back it up.
Last week Booking.com released the findings of its own study into the use of hamburger menus and it turned out to be good news for fans of the three-lined icon.
I've summarised the results below along with the results of several other studies into the uses of hamburger menus, so you can make up your own mind.
For more on this topic, read our posts on 14 inspiring mobile commerce websites and 11 ways to improve the navigation on your mobile site.
10 essential features for mobile travel sites
Looking for a break on a mobile? Gosh your commute must be especially arduous today.
Here's some help: a guide to the most convenient features available on mobile travel sites, which could possibly help you find your way to pleasant pastures a lot quicker and also highlight some great design for other mobile commerce designers.
Ben Davis gives excellent advice on features needed for great mobile commerce design in general, which I'll be using here, but skewing it towards features more suited to travel sites.
For this feature I'll be taking a look at a range of travel sites all optimised for mobiles: EasyJet, Ryanair, Booking.com, TripAdvisor, Secret Escapes, Voyage Prive, Expedia, Mr & Mrs Smith, Laterooms and Skyscanner.
How to increase conversions by creating buyer urgency & fear of loss
A sense of urgency and fear of loss are powerful sales drivers in ecommerce.
Undecided shoppers can be encouraged to make an impulse purchase if they think they're in direct competition with other people for a product that has limited availability.
I recently rounded up 11 examples from ecommerce sites that use stock levels to create buyer urgency, but that's by no means the only tactic available.
Here is a range of other techniques used by well known brands that can prove to be very effective in driving conversions.
And just to clarify, I've intentionally avoided group discount and flash sale sites (e.g. Groupon) that are built around scarcity and deadlines.
Booking.com: the most persuasive selling page in the world?
In my last article, I asked whether Booking.com is the most persuasive website in the world.
Now I want to provide more insights on how it is delivering content on a crucial page in the browsing journey: the hotel detail page.
If you'd like to read more about the persuasive techniques used on the search results page, take a look at my article titled Booking.com improving conversion with best practice persuasive design.
Is Booking.com the most persuasive website in the world?
One of the most important areas to invest time into is developing the persuasive layer of your online experience and deliver more reasons for your visitors to do what you want them to do.
In fact, I see persuasion as being one of the next big battlegrounds online.
As more websites are upping their game around the fundamentals of good user experience and usability principles they're looking for the next area of growth and to gain competitive advantage.
One brand I've paid particular attention to since 2009 has been Booking.com. I previously wrote a piece back in October 2011 about the wide range of persuasive techniques used on its search results page.
Since then Booking.com has continually evolved and refined its online experience, adding in new features, functionality and in particular using even more persuasive techniques.
In this article, which is the first in a series, I've highlighted many of these newer features and provided tips and advice on how to apply these techniques to your business.
Booking.com's journey into fear this Halloween
Halloween falls in a difficult holiday period, just at the end of 'shoulder season' (September to October) and right at the beginning of the dreaded off-season (November to March).
So it seems the end of October must be a write-off for travel company marketers. Or so you would think…
However, Booking.com is taking advantage of a holiday season yet to be exploited by other travel companies, Halloween, and is managing to build a comprehensive marketing campaign around it.
We've already looked at the eight brands making the most of Halloween in 2013, but right at the top of the pile is this campaign from Booking.com.
Welcome to America's Most Haunted Hotels...
Booking.com: improving conversion with best practice persuasive design
Persuasive design is something that has been around for many many years, not least in the way high street stores and supermarkets lay out their stores to encourage and entice customers to buy as they arrive and walk around.
In the online world, PET (persuasion, emotion, trust) is an approach that was pioneered by Human Factors International, and alongside usability and user experience, designing with persuasion in mind is an extremely powerful approach to positively impact on conversion rates.
In my experience, one site which has persuasion rooted in its design, content and layout is Booking.com.
In this article I provide a breakdown of some of the key persuasive elements that booking.com deliver.

Task Pane in PowerPoint 2010 for Windows
Learn about task pane in PowerPoint 2010.
Author: Geetesh Bajaj
Product/Version: Microsoft PowerPoint 2010
OS: Microsoft Windows XP / Vista / 7 / 8
Introducing the Task Pane
How the Task Pane works
Introducing the Task Pane
The Task Pane is a docked window within the PowerPoint 2010 interface that provides more options than normal dialog boxes -- also unlike most dialog boxes, you can view both the active slide(s) and the Task Pane at the same time -- thus the task panes provide a more streamlined workflow.
Task Panes made their debut with PowerPoint 2002 (XP) -- and for most of the time, they work in exactly the same way in PowerPoint 2010 except for one big difference -- you can now have more than one Task Pane visible at the same time.
Usually, the Task Pane is docked on the right side of the interface without covering the slide area. Also, the Task Pane is not visible all the time -- it appears only if you select Task Pane options like Clip Art, Research, Selection and Visibility, etc.
Figure 1 shows the PowerPoint 2010 interface without any Task Pane. Later in this page, I'll show you how you can summon the Task Pane.
Figure 1: PowerPoint 2010 interface
How the Task Pane Works
To make the Task Pane visible, follow these steps:
- Open any presentation in PowerPoint 2010.
- Choose the Insert tab of the Ribbon and then click the Clip Art button from the Images group, as shown in Figure 2.
Figure 2: Clip Art
- This brings up the Clip Art Task Pane that you can see in Figure 3 (highlighted in red) -- on the right side of the PowerPoint interface.
Figure 3: Clip Art Task Pane
Tip - You can drag the Task Pane anywhere you want -- this works great if you have a dual monitor set up -- in that case, drag the Task pane to the other monitor so that you have a larger area for your slide.

n. The upper arm of an overweight person, referring to the size of the arm (which more closely resembles the thigh due to staggering amounts of arm fat). Most often spotted at buffets, rodeos, NASCAR events, state fairs, Wal-Mart stores, Jerry Springer's television program, and throughout the South. Very often seen in conjunction with thankles.
"Holy crap - that is the fattest arm I have ever seen. They're supposed to be biceps, not thighceps. Your arms look like pillowcases full of cottage cheese. Maybe put the fork down once in a while, mmmkay?"
by DickLint May 08, 2010
A muscle in your Thigh. This muscle is most of the time exercised by moving your hips for activities such as playing with a hula hoop.
Wow, you've been working out, I can tell from your thighceps.

The Trial: Oscar Pistorius Was Found Praying Over Girlfriend's Dead Body
Testimony has begun in the case against South African athlete Oscar Pistorius, who has been charged with premeditated murder after shooting girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp last February.
As Stipp gave his account of the murder scene on Thursday, the Olympian was overcome with emotion in the courtroom, covering his head and ears and quietly weeping.
[photo: Getty]
The prosecution believes Pistorius killed Steenkamp after a heated argument, while Oscar has maintained he thought she was an intruder who had broken into their home.
Three witnesses, including Stipp, have now testified to hearing a woman screaming, which bolsters the case against Pistorius that there was a fight between the couple prior to the shooting.
The South African ran at the 2012 Olympics on carbon fiber blades that caused him to be known as the Blade Runner.

Anthony Ho (far left) and the Petanque Asian Beach Games Team, Nov 2014.
TSL talks to the President of Sports Boules Singapore, Anthony Ho on the rejuvenation of the sport of Petanque and the journey to date.
I am a competitive freak and badminton is my first love. A tumor in my leg ended all my hopes of representing Singapore in badminton. I wanted to be a PE Teacher but my Public Service Comission Scholarship dictated that I specialise in English Language and Literature.
I discovered Petanque in 2000. I was lecturing in a junior college and my friend (An ex-colleague) told me about this sport he discovered while studying in England. We decided to see if we could get our hands on some boules and learn the game. It was just the idea of learning a non-mainstream sport that piqued my curiosity. We spent a few weeks looking around our tiny island before I discovered a small group of seniors playing the sport at Joo Seng Community Centre. I joined them in a game and asked where we can meet the people "in charge" of this sport. They referred us to Toa Payoh and that's how my love affair started.
I enjoy Petanque because of what the sport can offer in helping in thedevelopment of the whole being - physically, mentally and spiritually. Petanque as a sport is an easy sport that can be played by all shapes and sizes. Petanque is also suitable for all ages. You need just 15 minutes to learn how to play it socially. It is alsolow cost and bears minimal risk in terms of injuries. There's constant interaction when playing the game hence making it an ideal sport for family, social and corporate bonding.
I represented Singapore in my first year of Petanque at the Asian Championship's. Months later, I was selected to be part of the team that competed at the World Championships in Grenoble, France. I was finally living my dream of representing Singapore. But our performance was a nightmare. I remember our English coach saying that we didn't need a coach, we needed a psychologist! We needed new blood.
In 2001, I was invited to sit in the Executive Committee and was voted in as the Vice-President. Two years later, I became the president at the age of 29. I was a young man running a sport that was predominantly played byseniors. I made a conscious decision to change the composition of the Mens team first. Vicki (Treasurer of Sports Boules Singapore) added young blood from her primary school's boys track and field team. They were our pioneer batch of junior players (including current representative players, Cheng Zhiming and Goh Wee Teck).
Cheng Zhiming with Anthony
With the need to engage younger players. I started Petanque as a CCA in my junior college. In 2005, we won our first ever SEA Games medal. In 2007, our Junior team (which included Zhiming and Wee Teck) were ranked 9th in the world at the Junior World Championships. In 2011, Zhiming won the Bronze medal at the Junior World Championships and became the youngest ever Asian Champion in Shooting at the age of 16. We were on a high and the future looked promising. But we were the only sport to return empty handed from the SEA Games in Laos. In 2011, I gave up my post and minimised my involvement with the sport to focus on setting up my own enrichment centre.
At the 2013 Annual General Meeting, the discussion was mainly focused on whether we should shut down the NSA. We were struggling financially and hosting the SEA Games was really not on our minds. I reluctantly accepted my reappointment as President.
We began with aninformal SWOT analysis. We found thatwe needed to address a couple of things, that personnel shouldn't wear more than one hat and that we needed a more structured training programme for our athletes. We also needed to inject more youth into our setup.
I'm pretty pleased with the outcome of our Let's Play! series. Each team is supposed to comprise a player who has never played Petanque. The players have managed to introduce and engage their friends to the sport.
Also, I've started a quarterly athlete dialogue session to find out the concerns and gather feedback from the athletes and though it's still too few sessions for any observations, the athletes have asked for more support in terms of attire and training equipment, financial subsidy and more structured training. In return, we've asked for more commitment and application of the right principles. My observation is that athletes who come in looking for CCA points or the opportunity to travel, hardly develop well. Athletes who consciously focus on the principles of Petanque and sports in general, outperform the rest. In my humble opinion, there is a trend of over emphasising the packaging rather than the substance of sports in general.
Well, perception is the keyword here. We're using social media like Facebook to constantly plant a more youthful image in people's mind.
Facebook is used to update everyone about our events and results. Sometimes, teams from the region participate in our events after seeing it on Facebook. The athletes also post regularly on Instagram for their followers.
It means a lot to us. It is always easy to make excuses when results don't go our way.. Zhiming's and Izzati's results helped reinforce our belief in long term planning. It is never satisfying to win via quick fixes. We know that it takes about 8 years to churn out a very competitive player. We need to improve our training programme for all to shorten the duration needed.
Anthony with Petanque players, Cheng Zhi Ming, (GOLD in Men's Shooting) Nur Izzati (BRONZE in Women's Shooting) and Sport Singapore Staff at the Asian Beach Games.
First of all I need to clarify that FBT's sponsorhsip is in kind. While it helps in terms of training wear and equipment, we still are far behind in terms of funding for the sustainability of our sport. We've always maintained a cordial relationship with the owners of FBT and on a recent visit to them at their HQ, we talked about the possibility of their support for our SEA Games as a whole. They were keen to help us and that's how it all started.
Anthony at the Sport Singapore - FBT Sponsorship Signing
Well, I see our standard of Petanque to be very competitive at the international level and I see us having a decent base of players to work with. As an organisation, I see us as still working hard to make our NSA financially sustainable.
POST NOTE: Since the interview, Petanque has recently finished concluded the Singapore-Myanmar Friendship Championship in Myanmar where a total of 1 Gold, 3 Silver & 7 Bronze medals were won - congratulations!

Chapters 65 through 73 Summary
Henry and Tammie return to Los Angeles and Henry performs a reading at a local club. The club owner tells Henry a rather long story about breaking up with a woman who turns out to be really crazy and vindictive. Henry responds by saying it sounds like one of his own old girlfriends. Before the reading, Tammie gets stumbling drunk and Henry drinks a copious amount. The opening act is booed from the stage and then Tammie insists on introducing Henry and, surprisingly, does a creditable job. Henry reads and drinks, then goes to the back office to drink some more, use some drugs, and receive his check. Tammie flies into a rage when she discovers the check is not for the amount promised and Henry basically drags her out of the club. They return home and Tammie flees into her...

Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand has come in for some criticism on social media after a post on Sunday evening.
Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand did not feature against Tottenham today, but insisted he was rotated rather than dropped.
He tweeted: To play a full season at full throttle every game is hard to do...the BPL is a long, hard & rugged league to play in....squad rotation vital.
However his next comment, suggesting the team believe themselves capable of coasting through game, hint at some of the troubles at United so far this season, unable to string a run of wins together.
Many saying "u gotta give 100% every game"-the top teams can play at 80% at times & win games when confidence is high. #PaceYourselves— Rio Ferdinand (@rioferdy5) December 1, 2013
Quickly he was forced to defend himself...
"@Cannon_89: @rioferdy5 not when u get payed wages u lot do lad" > expected response that! U give 100% concentration but preserve energy— Rio Ferdinand (@rioferdy5) December 1, 2013
And other fans joined in the criticism:
@rioferdy5 I'm sorry Rio but you are wrong on this point. If I didn't put in 100% effort everyday at work I wouldn't have a job. #simple— Nick Kell (@b18kel) December 1, 2013
@rioferdy5 well Rio can you tell the lads to up the pace, because the effort given at the minute isn't winning us enough games!!— Chris Etty (@chrisetty) December 1, 2013
@rioferdy5 Can't believe I've just seen a MUFC player saying it is ok to NOT give 100% in a United shirt— Alban Price (@SpinninAlb) December 1, 2013
@rioferdy5 Well if that's the attitude in the team no wonder we are dropping points !!! Can't believe you would say that let alone think it.— Barry Murphy (@DampnessMurphy) December 1, 2013
@rioferdy5 #PaceYourselves that's a Bit arrogant - u earn the right to play by outfighting the opposition - and teams try harder against utd— zakhir (@zakhassain) December 1, 2013
The point Ferdinand is clearly missing is that this United side are not the unstoppable force of the past, able to win games by three or four goals week in and week out, who could afford to drop a notch.
This side have shown this season they are struggling, and with the adjustment period to a new manager and his system, there should be no reason for complacency.
Ferdinand's comments seem ill-judged for a time when the team have won two Premier League points out of a possible six in the last two weeks, dropping further ground on league leaders Arsenal.
It was Ferdinand himself who was beaten for Cardiff's equaliser a week ago, and it's time for him to start stepping up, and take advantage of any opportunities he gets - and that means giving 100 per cent.

This running experience is for the adventurous athlete on the team seeking variety. A little trail running starts you off (consider bringing a second pair of shoes in case of mud) and you'll be thankful for such an easy and scenic first leg. While the first leg is short and easy, the next two are complete opposites. Your second leg starts on top of a hill and descends the valley into the quaint town of Warren. You'll feel like you are in a Norman Rockwell painting as your jaunt through this sleepy village includes a run through a covered bridge. Ok, so your first leg was easy and in the woods, your second had a lot of downhill and some Vermont charm, your third must be, gulp, uphill. The third leg is a bugger as it is just a steady climb.
Leg #1
Description: The runner lucky enough to start the race for their team starts uphill and runs along the Greenway Loop before dropping into the densely wooded trails of the Trapp Family Lodge. This 2.6 mile loop provides the excitement of the start and the quiet of the woods, only to return to the buzzing crowds circling the start line and the first transition. This Trail run provides a great mix of meadow, wide trail and single track
Rating: Green Circle
Distance: 2.6
Transition Location: Trapp Family Lodge
Leg #7
Description: This leg leaves the Horse Farm and continues with the sweeping views of Sugarbush ski area. The course dips downward into the start of a heavily forrested section of the course. Runners turn left onto Main St in the town of Warren and then turn right onto a covered bridge at the far end of downtown as cars take an alternate route. As runners rejoin Rte 100 they continue along the left side of the road until they receive crossing guard assistance near the transition. The transition is on the right at a large picnic area.
Rating: Black Diamond
Distance: 6.6
Transition: RT 100 Picnic Area
Leg #13
Description: This leg returns us from pastureland to the mountains, begging the question "What terrain is truly the Heart of Vermont: Mountain or Field?". This third leg is a bugger as it is just a steady climb.
Rating: Double Black Diamond
Distance: 6.7
Transition: Killington Ski and Sport

The alliance will enable the two companies to deliver bespoke solutions of a size and complexity that previously has not been feasible.
Adrian Maurice, managing director Elision, said: This will redefine the art of the possible especially where customers are unable to decide whether in-house input management operations, or outsourcing, best suits their needs.
The Elision/Captiva proposition is based on two principles. Firstly, that the customer should be offered the best option, not just one that is convenient to the supplier, secondly, that a good system going into the future is unlikely to be readily accepted unless it is fully populated with information.
Maurice said: Most current input management solutions are critically short of flexibility and, in the main, fail to address the cultural issues that changing from a paper-based business to one dependent on electronic systems will create. From research we have carried out for government clients, it is clear that unless a user is able to access all the historic information they require they will revert back to the paper file and update this from the electronic systems. Our business specialises in removing this paper barrier to modernisation.
Mark Lewis, vice president, EMEA, Captiva, said: Many organisations are unsure whether to completely outsource their capture needs or to dedicate internal resource to this vital component of their IT infrastructure. The partnership between Captiva and Elision solves this problem by providing the best of both worlds, and allows ultimate flexibility between control, security and value for money.
The partnership was influenced by Elisions track-record in delivering massive and complex input management solutions for government agencies. Lewis said: Elision provides more than bulk scanning services; it has the process management skills that customers need to develop an input management strategy. It also has the logistical capability to overcome the problems associated with the movement of paper documents, which may have to be gathered from numerous locations before the operation can get under way.
As part of the agreement, Captiva and Elision will collaborate on sales, marketing and consulting activities for InputAccel; FormWare, Captivas forms processing solution; and Digital Mailroom, its award-winning platform for the integrated management of documents and electronic media.

"Sorry But You Are Inoperable!"
"You have the disease I suspected. It is very rare. I believe that less than 2 percent of the population suffers from this disorder."
My oto-neurologist hesitated for a moment. "You have Semicircular Superior Canal Dehiscence, and it seems your right ear is worse than the left. The only way to correct this situation and give you somewhat of a normal life is to undergo a craniotomy. We would have to drill a hole into your skull…lift your brain…drill to the dehiscence in the superior canal and fill the hole," he continued.
My eyes shot open wide, I thought craniotomies were for people with head problems and not for people like me with an inner ear disorder. I bit my lower lip harder; I could feel the color drain from my face.
"You have the dehiscence in both ears. You have holes in both of your superior canals…opening in your temporal lobes. I've not seen many people with this. I believe that less than one thousand people are diagnosed with this disorder."
Never in my wildest dreams had I ever imagined such a disease existed. My surgeon continued talking but his words were gibberish. He reached over and touched my hand. His words were soft but strong, "I am sorry, I am so sorry, but you are not a candidate for surgery. I have spoken with several other surgeons. You have other vestibular problems that would not benefit from the surgery. It seems as if you also have Meniere's Disease and it, combined with the Superior Canal Dehiscence, makes your condition even more rare…"
"But what can I do, I cannot live like this," I began to nervously twirl my hair. Breathe, I told myself, just breathe.
There is medicine that might help you, and of course over time maybe new technology, and of course with research…you will just have to learn to deal with it one way or the other, his soft and compassionate voice began to fade. I cradled my head with my hands, and began to think back to the night that started this whole nightmare.
Three years ago, I woke in the middle of the night to a strange sound, and suddenly the bedroom was spinning, a literal vertigo experience. I was laying still but the whole room, including the bed, was wildly spinning around me. My stomach had started to convulse, and I had this horrible buzzing and ringing sound in my ears. I had tried to sit up but any movement caused another vertigo episode.
"Help me," I reached for my daughter's hand. I found myself almost paralyzed; even the smallest and slightest movement was a gigantic effort. Help me, please, I managed to grasp one of her long delicate fingers. Please help me, I cried out in the dark. My voice petered out; trying to speak was overwhelming. My daughter turned on the night light near the bed. The immediate brightness and the clicking sound of the lamp's knob made the vertigo worse. "No," I uttered, "it hurts." I closed my eyes and forced myself not to wretch.
That night began the four-month journey to find an answer. Every night I petitioned Jesus for an answer and for healing. I also petitioned God to let me live.
A possible brain tumor or stroke was the first suspected cause of my sudden illness. Head trauma, Alzheimers, or maybe Multiple Sclerosis where other thoughts.
A MRI ruled out any immediate dangers or threats of tumors, but every time I presented my symptoms to a new and yet another specialist, they would look at me as if I was crazy. "You see doctor," I would nervously begin to voice my string of symptoms, "I am nauseated all of the time. I sometimes get vertigo that drops me to my knees. I have a ringing and buzzing sound constantly in my ears. Any pressure change causes me to get disorientated, my memory is fading, and my hearing is radically fluctuating."
"I also hear noises and sounds that cause me to become confused, and sometimes the vertigo gets so bad that I actually drop to the ground," timidly I would look at the doctor for support. By this time the doctor would be scribbling notes and nodding his head up and down and sometimes to the side. But the last symptoms always threw him for a loop. "I get lost between time and space. It's like I am in a slow-motion movie, and no one is moving except me or objects that I know are stationary. It's almost like I'm watching the world around me, and I can see people's lips moving but cannot understand." This symptom would always get a raised eyebrow or a scowl.
I would take a deep breath and force myself to continue, even though I could tell by the doctors expression that he was now beginning to classify me as a mental case. "And I can hear my own pulse, my own heart beat, and other internal and external noises are magnified to the point that they cause pain
and vertigo."
By now the doctor would be scribbling on his prescription pad. He would usually end the counseling session at that point and say that he wanted me to see the psychiatrist, then hand me several anti-psychotic or anti-depressant drug prescriptions.
"No," I would shake my head, "I am not crazy. You don't understand. I have several psychology degrees and I know I am not a mental case." But I guess the six or seven degrees the doctor held meant more than mine.
"I am not saying you are crazy. You definitely have vestibular problems and head trauma," would be his usual consensus, "but I have never heard of such symptoms and…" For months this is what I heard several doctors say, or something similar.
One evening I was working on my laptop when a strong urge came over me to search for another doctor. "Dear Lord," I began to silently pray, "I am lost, please help me."
Several minutes later I found the Washington University - Barnes Jewish Hospital website. There was a picture of a middle-aged man. He had a kind face and was very distinguished looking. He resume was impressive and his credentials were remarkable. I decided to have someone call and make an appointment for me. I was so tired of this disease or whatever I had. Most days were hard but some days were unbearable.
Three long weeks later I found myself in Dr. Choles office. When I met him, I was pleased with his soft voice and kindness. Instead of verbally telling him my symptoms, I handed him a typed list. Stuttering and memory problems had sometimes plagued me since the onset of this disease. He sat quietly and read my two sheets of symptoms. When he finished, he turned the paper over and asked me to tell him in my own words what was going on. I gave him the reader's digest version. I wasn't going to tell him about the really weird symptoms, but something inside made me blurt them out. "I get lost between time and space and can hear my own pulse," wide eyed I looked at him. "But I am not crazy and I don't need a psychiatrist, shrink, or medication…"
Doctor Chole held up his hand to quiet me. "I know you are not crazy," his voice was filled with concern and compassion. "Let's run some tests and see what is going on," he picked up his pen and began to write in my chart. "I think you have vestibular problems and possibly Meniere's Disease."
He motioned for his nurse, "Let's get started right away."
"Hand me your MRI films," he reached for the films that were lying across my lap. "Let's have a look." He flicked on a light switch of the x-ray machine and motioned for me to look with him. Dr. Chole noticed my eyes jumping. He handed me a funny looking pair of goggles. Put them on, he said. He positioned my head forward and then clapped his hands. He held my head in his hands and watched my eyes for several moments. You have nystagmus. Your eyes jump up and down, but they also jump upward and away from the sound…going in the wrong direction…causing the illusion of movement.
I was shocked he was including me. I was more stunned that he actually looked at every film and every slide. He didn't rush through them as other doctors had done. "No tumors, no MS," he began to rule out possible diseases. He reached for the last film. "You have head trauma but I don't see anything too terrible. Wait, he pushed on his glasses, "right there," he pointed to the last slide on the last film, "I think we might have found something."
"Right here," he traced the film with his finger. "This area should be bone but its not," he flicked the light off. "What I think you have is a very rare disorder where you are lacking bone, a dehiscence, a hole over your inner ear balance canals. This disease is very rare but I have seen it before," he assured me.
"What happens is that your ears send the wrong signal to your brain and thus the illusion of movement. It plays havoc with your brain, balance, equilibrium, and other cognitive skills. We need to do a high resolution cat scan and run vestibular and other tests."
"Thank you, God," I said quietly. "God bless you, Dr. Chole."
A month later, and after numerous vestibular tests and a very sophisticated cat scan, I was diagnosed with a very rare disease — Semicircular Superior Canal Dehiscence - SCD. It is believed that less than one thousand people suffer with it. Dr. Lloyd Minor of John Hopkins University is the man credited for discovering this rare disease.
I also have Meniere's Disease, which is another rare and disabling inner-ear/vestibular disorder/disease. There are very few ENTs, surgeons, doctors, or hospitals that have seen or dealt with these diseases. I was fortunate enough to find a doctor who had actually seen two other cases before me, and who knew Dr. Minor and was very familiar with his research.
There is not a fairy-tale ending to this story. I am not a candidate for surgery and my symptoms are still the same. Life with this disease and other vestibular problems can be devastating, and the only prayers I can utter are for mercy. Even though I have not been healed physically, I have done a tremendous amount of spiritual healing. I am drawn to Jesus every day and know that I will never survive these disorders without him and his love. I am so very blessed though. I have wonderful children and fabulous friends who are very supportive and nurturing. I love my children very much, and they are such a blessing even though the change they see in their mother is so very difficult for them to deal with.
These diseases are very humbling, but if they keep me closer to my Jesus, then that is where I need to be. I cannot fall with Jesus; I can only stumble to my knees in prayer.

It's hard to sleep at night,
When I close my eyes.
Flashbacks haunt my mind.
Truth be told, I'm not the same...
The streets were covered white,
On that windy road home.
Anger clouds my mind,
The anxiety of our fast paced lives.
This vehicle's a prison.
Brakes stick, the van flips,
Adrenaline soaring high.
Snow banks, a full tank,
Oh, brother make it out alive.
Four months I spent,
Trapped in my head,
Asking why I'm alive.
Long drawn out walks,
Filled with morbid thoughts.
Someday you might understand...
"Goodbye, Blue Monday"
When on that day so cold,
My skin would turn to stone,
Animate and revive,
A part of me I lost,
Seeking the so-called greater cause.
Maybe now I'll sleep at night,
Rest and shut my eyes.
A head filled up with pride,
At least for now I'm feeling sane...
Four months I spent,
Trapped in my head,
Asking why I'm alive.
