I sure would like tknow how yolu did thast cross burned in that brain dead skull
Hi Gary
I searched for a burn scar, clipped and shaped it to make the cross. blended it down onto obama forehead to look realistic. I then used a glowing edges filter at 23% and a plastic wrap filter at 12%.
This gave the area around the scar a slightly lighter shade making the scar look more livid and slightly raised as it would be in real life

This contest is fueled by the following news: In contrast to numerous and conflicting beliefs on vampires in traditional folklore, the image of a vampire is more or less intact in western literature. This image preserves some features of folklore, but discards others. This new model of vampire has spread into modern vampire movies and popular culture, though some individual works may differ from this norm. Works of the 19th century, especially, "Dracula" by Bram Stoker, have been most influential. Vampires of artistic creations were often described as romantic persons, elegant and sexy (similar to incubus and succubus demons). This contradicts the folklore stories on the vampires of Eastern Europe, which describe the vampires as a horrifying walking corpse. In some works, vampires are not evil spirits but a race, which requires blood to normalize the metabolism. The set of advantages and vulnerabilities of vampires are very well known from movies and literature: Vampires, being dead, do not need normal human food, water and even air. Sometimes it is said that the vampires generally cannot eat human food, owing to which, vampires are compelled to either avoid invitations to cafes, restaurants, dinner invitations etc, or pretend to be eating, in order to mislead their mortal victims. Vampires look very pale (not dark or pink skinned like folklore vampires) and their skin is cold to touch; Sometimes, vampires can transform into animals, more often into flying bats, rats and wolves. Some vampires have the capabilities to transform into a mist or smoke. Some vampires can even fly; Vampires have no shadows and no reflections. In modern works, some vampires cannot be photographed. For the first time, this idea occurred to Stoker, who developed it from the assumption that, mirror reflects the soul of a person, which is not there in vampires; Some superstitions indicate that vampires cannot enter a house without an invitation. Usually, the invitation is required only once, after which, the vampire can come and go at the house whenever it wishes; Some stories preserved the idea that, the vampires should return to their coffins or "own place" before the dawn so as to take rest in safety. Other vampires put their own place in the coffins, especially if they relocate. In Le Fanu's "Carmilla", vampires should return to their coffins and sleep in blood but not in the ground; Sometimes werewolves become vampires after death. In some stories, werewolves are the eternal enemies of vampires; As in folklore, vampires from stories, fear garlic and symbols of Christianity such as holy water, the cross or rosary beads. Sometimes vampires are immune to all the above listed items (interview with a vampire), the list also includes icons or symbols of faith, which were significant to the person, who later on became a vampire, for instance, the Star of David for a "vampire - jew"; The vmpire can be destroyed with silver or sanctified bullets, a wooden stake in the heart, through decapitation or cremation. However, one of the most common methods to destroy a vampire is taking the vampire out from its coffin during day time. Possibly, the idea, for the first time, appeared in the film "Nosferatu" (1922), but the vulnerability of the vampire under the sun has been considered as a standard weak point of the vampire. Though, the vulnerability level varies from story to story. In the novels of Stoker, for instance, sunlight could weaken Dracula but did not destroy him. The idea is being developed in many films that vampires fear silver in any form, bullets, stakes, swords etc. Particularly, this idea gathered momentum in the Blade and Van Helsing films; Some vampires from creative novels like to count. The idea was taken from popular stories, asserting that vampires shall stop and count each grain found on its way. The most popular "counting" vampire is Count von Count from the TV series "Sesaeme Street". Other examples are an episode from the fifth season of "Secret Materials" called "Bad Blood" and also the novel "Carpe Jugulum Sieze the Throat" by Terry Pratchett. A belief is also found that the vampires like to untie knots, and both the situations were shown in a comedy style in the film "Dracula 2000", when heroes, to delay Dracula, pour a bagful of peas on it, and Dracula, in turn, counts the number of peas in a fraction of a second and unties the network of knots, thrown over it, in an attempt to delay Dracula for a while; Since the release of the film "Dracula" in 1958, vampires were always depicted with canines. Sometimes vampires can hide the canines till they are ready to bite the victim; In P.C. Cast's books, the vampires worship Niks, the Goddess of Night. The vampires bite casts a spell of euphoria to both. Biting marks can be found after the blood sucking process. All the adult vampires have a filled sapphire crescent tattoo with patterns on the cheekbones and forehead. Underage vampires have a crescent contour. They possess all the talents, such as control over rudiments, proximity with animals, physical force and healing. Vampires lead a night life. Matriarchal power is prevalent at nights.

Beef stroganoff
Geraldine Dillon isn't much known these days but in the 1960s and 1970s she was well known in Melbourne as a cooking presenter and writer. She had a weekly cooking program on Channel 9 for years, gave demonstrations at Gas & Fuel and at Myers, she wrote for the Age and the Women's Weekly and had a regular cooking column in the Melbourne Advocate. My mother always watched her cooking program and, as it was on during the day (on Friday I think), I only got to watch it during the holidays. My mother used to jot down recipes while watching the program and sometimes we wrote into Channel 9 for a roneoed version. We also went off occasionally on holidays to see her real life demonstrations. We tried lots of her recipes in our family and these recipes were often the reason for us trying different recipes and ingredients. Apart from cooking with my mother, I am sure that Geraldine was one of the main reasons for my abiding interest in and love of cooking.
Recently I was asked by a young colleague if I had a good recipe for beef stroganoff, probably because a boomer would be expected to cook such a thing I speculated. Well, indeed, I had but I hadn't cooked it for decades. And there it was in my copy of the The Geraldine Dillon cookbook, published by Paul Hamlyn in 1974. That was the stroganoff that I had cooked, that my mother had cooked and that I had a vague memory of Bert Newton doing some skit about on IMT one night. However, I thought I really should try it again before giving it out.
I was also mystified by Tania's mention of a recipe with paprika in it. I didn't remember using paprika in beef stroganoff and sure enough there was no paprika in the Geraldine recipe. So I thought I would explore a little. I didn't Google. I just looked at a few of my own recipe books and discovered variants. Geraldine's recipe, which would have come through her Cordon Bleu background, had stock, tomato paste, mustard and sour cream along with the meat, mushrooms etc. She used stewing steak. Margaret Fulton, an Australian cooking icon (@margaretfulton - yes, she's on Twitter!) who was writing at the same time, didn't have mustard or stock but did have mushrooms and sour cream and used fillet steak.
Hmm, I thought, is this really an Anglicized version of a Russian dish or just some Anglo dish given a fancy name? So off I went to my trusty Time Life Foods of the World series - also dating from 1970s. Sure enough there in the book on The Cooking of Russia was a recipe for Bef Stroganov. The recipe was prefixed by the statement: "Bef Stroganov, created in the late 19th century for a Russian count, has become one of the world's famous dishes. The recipe that follows is the classic Russian version. The numerous European and American variations called Beef Stroganov do not in any sense reproduce the dish as it was originally made."
And the differences? Well, Margaret Fulton and Geraldine Dillon both use butter, whereas the Russian recipe uses oil. Apart from that the recipe is pretty similar to the Geraldine Dillon one apart from that she adds stock and powdered mustard, and the Russian recipe made up the mustard in water. It also didn't include tomato paste. However, I found another Russian recipe which this time had both the made up mustard and the stock as well as tomato paste, but no mushrooms though a footnote said that another variant included mushrooms. Both the Russian recipes called for fillet steak.
I decided after all this that the recipe I was still going to cook was the original Geraldine Dillon one. However, I am not very good at sticking to recipes so there were some differences. She said grilling steak: I purchased stir fry beef. She said stock (not sure what kind) I used low salt beef stock. And I didn't include the added salt. I normally use light sour cream but I got the full catastrophe. The Russian recipe suggested doing the meat in two batches as being essential. So I did this. Otherwise the recipe is Geraldine Dillon.
90 gr butter
1 medium onion
250 gr mushrooms
750 gr stir fry beef
2 tablespoon plain flour
1 cup salt-reduced beef stock
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1/4 teaspoon pepper
pinch mustard
1/2 cup sour cream
Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a pan and fry the finely chopped onion until golden.
Slice the mushrooms and add to the onions with a further tablespoon of butter.
Saute for 2-3 minutes, then remove the onion and mushrooms from the pan.
Add the remaining butter to the pan and brown half the meat strips quickly.
Remove from the pan and repeat with the rest of the meat.
Add the flour, stock tomato paste, pepper and mustard to the pan and bring to the boil.
Return the meat and vegetables to the pan, cover and simmer gently for 8-10 minutes stirring occasionally.
Once the meat is tender, add the sour cream the sour cream and heat.
Serve with rice or noodles.
So what was beef Stroganoff like decades after I had last had it? I found it pretty rich I must say with butter and sour cream but it's a good taste. As I am much more used to cooking with oil and normally only use low fat sour cream I might try another variant. But pretty tasty really.
Thanks for being the trigger for this trip down memory lane, Tania!

Funny you mention the reason that you think I asked for the recipe - had nothing to do with baby boomers - didn't even know the dish was popular in the 70s :) I thought, given your repertoire of recipes and your knowledge of cooking, that you would be bound to have made a good one at some stage. I've always believed that paprika was in a good beef strog and was surprised that I couldn't find any online that listed this ingredient. It was also mentioned on Masterchef. Have since made their recipe (with sweet paprika!) which I will share with you soon!

Beef with paprika sounds like Goulash to me rather than Stroganoff. Like the look of your finished Sroganoff and I think I might try it.

Merry Christmas from ReKnew
Bless you all as you celebrate the birth of Jesus today. Here's another song by Eustace the Dragon to celebrate.
Said the night wind to the little lamb,
"Do you see what I see?
Way up in the sky, little lamb,
Do you see what I see?
A star, a star, dancing in the night
With a tail as big as a kite."
Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy,
"Do you hear what I hear?
Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy,
Do you hear what I hear?
A song, a song high above the trees
With a voice as big as the sea."
Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king,
"Do you know what I know?
In your palace walls, mighty king,
Do you know what I know?
A Child, a Child shivers in the cold–
Let us bring him silver and gold."
Said the king to the people everywhere,
"Listen to what I say
Pray for peace, people, everywhere,
Listen to what I say
The Child, the Child sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light.
The Child, the Child sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light."

Volkswagen has decided to offer as of early 2013 a special edition version of the Amarok pick-up based very closely on the concept vehicle: the Amarok Canyon.
At the 2012 Geneva Motor Show in March, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles unveiled a concept vehicle designed for extreme outdoor sports in the shape of the prototype Amarok Canyon. The concept of a high quality and genuine off-road vehicle in a striking colour with classic pickup accessory elements triggered an extremely positive reaction. The concept vehicle's key elements – including a strong colour scheme, AT wheels, lamp bar, styling bar and interior fitting details – have been successfully incorporated into the special edition model.
Visual features include the darkened rear light clusters, the undercarriage guards in body colour, the wheelarches in contrasting black and the wording 'Canyon' on doors and rear hatch. The redesigned styling bar, the sill sidebars and the rear bumper in gleaming black form a conscious contrast to the vehicle body. A new roll cover – a cargo space cover in the form of a robust awning – is also coloured gleaming black and protects valuable cargo. As an alternative to the styling bar and associated cargo space cover, the 'Canyon' will also be available with a practical hard top.
In order to facilitate maximum off-road capability, the Amarok Canyon is available with both TDI engines, generally in combination with permanent or on-demand four-wheel drive (4MOTION) and optional differential lock on the rear axle. Designed for outdoor activities, the special edition also has redesigned 17-inch 'Roca' alloy wheels fitted with size 245/70 R 17 AT-tyres. If desired, 18-inch wheels with road tyres are also available.
The individuality of the Amarok Canyon continues inside. Many details have been given a new accent through the use of a special colour scheme. The instrument panel's sun visor is in contrasting matt chrome and the partially leather seats have two-tone colouring, with the seat bases in 'Moon Rock', while the headrests and side wings are elegantly offset in 'Anthracite'. The decorative stitching on the seats, on the three-spoke leather steering wheel and on the leather-covered gear lever picks up the orangey-red colour of the vehicle body.
In addition to being available in the new 'Copper Orange' colour, which is being kept exclusively for this special edition, the Amarok Canyon will also be available from early 2013 in 'Reflex Silver', 'Natural Grey' and 'Sand Beige'.

Whatever the reason is that brings you here today, there is hope…
My name is Debbie Charles and I have been where you are. I may not have the same issues or problems that you are going through, but I dealt with my own pain and went through my own counselling to help me heal my life.
That is why I believe in this process and have dedicated over 20 years creating a caring and compassionate space for you to come and explore and work towards possible breakthroughs.
Just having someone to talk to is a big step on this journey – sharing your problem, working on obstacles (both internally and externally), and exploring possibilities are just some of the ways that psychotherapy can help you.
I believe my role is to support you with whatever you are going through and offer empathy, compassion, and, hopefully, some insight to help you work through this.
What obstacles are you facing?
The answers to our problems lie within each of us; however there are inner obstacles that are getting in the way.
These obstacles can take the form of belief systems, repeating parental behaviour, defense mechanisms and psychological games, to name a few.
What issues are you dealing with?
Many of our problems may have started very early on in childhood and we keep manifesting the patterns throughout our lives.
We then develop symptoms that tell us things are going wrong.
These include depression, anxiety, relationship problems, lack of meaning or purpose in life, low self esteem and confidence, boredom, or feeling defeated.
However, it is our symptoms that are the way into discovering what our deeper issues are.
The purpose of psychotherapy and counselling:
The work in psychotherapy and counselling is to name or notice our obstacles and to work through them.
Change, at times, is often very subtle and can be difficult and painful, but working through these obstacles can lead to finding that natural place which is in each of us.
When we can live from this place, we start to understand ourselves better, and find compassion for ourselves, and others.
We start to know ourselves in a deeper way, and we find the resources within to lead the life we were meant to live.

If you think you might have been desensitised to screen violence, Kill Bill will test your boundaries. Some of it makes uncomfortable viewing. But then you can't help getting swept along as the camera worships Uma Thurman's deadly character; her vendetta is so pure that you have to root for her as she racks up the body count.
Unstoppably cool set pieces, dialogue, and over-the-top comic book violence - with splendid gashes of colour and toe-tappingly funky music - propel this revenge epic as it rampages through your brain at a record rate of homages-per-minute towards its tense and satisfying ending.
It's films like this that convince me that Quentin Tarantino and his actor buddies have the best jobs in the world. He offered Uma Thurman the script to Kill Bill, and her role as "The Bride", as a 30th birthday present. How do I get me one of those?

Nobody denies that domestic U.S. petroleum production passed its peak 40 years ago and has zero chance of ever regaining it. That, of course, has no impact on mainstream reporting and politics, where everybody plays the game of implying that some secret stash will be unlocked and return the United States to carefree cars-first living.
In the least surprising news of the month, Zerobama, the most fraudulent of all modern U.S. Presidents (a major competition, I know, but one he easily wins), is now officially piling onto this remarkably dishonest game, having just announced, in his unchanging didactic techno-smarm, that he's caving in to demands to further deregulate domestic oil and natural gas drilling.
The only effect of this latest item of complete conventionality will be to raise the level of ecological destruction that accompanies the ruling institutions' perpetuation of the nation's massively unsustainable transportation infrastructure.

Sharon has published her research in edited volumes and peer-reviewed journals such as Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies, Mobilization, Ethnic and Racial Studies, Mass Communication and Society, Sociology Compass, and Asian Survey. Her book project, tentatively titled The Active Diaspora: How Protest Forges Transnational Filipino Communities, argues that diasporas are outcomes, rather than causes or agents, of transnational mobilization. She was awarded the University of Pittsburgh Andrew Mellon Predoctoral Fellowship, the National Science Foundation's Doctoral Dissertation Improvement Grant and the American Philosophical Society Franklin Grant to complete data collection for the study.
Born and raised in the Philippines, Sharon was a child during the dictatorship of Ferdinand Marcos. She spent her adolescence and young adulthood participating in social movements that focus on anti-corruption, human rights, and press freedom. She obtained her bachelor's degree in communication from the University of the Philippines, Diliman. She remained there as researcher with the Third World Studies Center for seven years, where she was involved in projects investigating the global justice movement in Southeast Asia. Afterwards, she received a Fulbright scholarship to pursue a master's degree in social sciences, with emphasis on demographic and social analysis at the University of California, Irvine. She received her PhD in Sociology, with Certificate in Cultural Studies, from the University of Pittsburgh in 2016.
Sharon is fluent in English and two Philippine languages (Tagalog and Ilocano), and currently studying Spanish. Apart from her professional activities, she loves to travel, often to places off the beaten path.

Alex Charfen is a proud member of a band of brothers and sisters that includes Einstein, Oprah, Edison, and you.
Every day, new members of this tribe are born with a unique set of gifts and issues that will, for better or worse, drive them for all of their lives. They will chase momentum, and even long for it. They will have a hard time fitting into the systems built for everyone else. And, in the end, if they survive and are able to stay un-medicated and un-incarcerated, they will likely change the world.
Alex Charfen is a proud member of a band of brothers and sisters that includes Einstein, Oprah, Edison, and you.
Every day, new members of this tribe are born with a unique set of
gifts and issues that will, for better or worse, drive them for
all of their lives. They will chase momentum, and even
long for it. They will have a hard time fitting into the
systems built for everyone else. And, in the end,
if they survive and are able to stay un-medicated and
un-incarcerated, they will likely change the world.
Out of distress and difficulty they have each had epiphanies.
They've locked themselves in rooms and invented the light bulb but only after ten thousand failed tries; they have launched rockets into space and landed them safely, but only after explosions and scrubbed missions; they've built and lost great empires; and sadly, some, perhaps most, have spent their lives as misunderstood and out of step dreamers with unhappy endings.
Alex has studied greatness for decades and here is what he has found: All of the notable entrepreneurs down through history have a great deal in common with each other, and, quite frankly, very little in common with the rest of the world. They share The Entrepreneurial Personality Type (EPT) with all of its quirks and idiosyncrasies. They are a restless bunch with an intrinsic need to move and build and strive. His own remarkable entrepreneurial journey reflects that.
His professional career started at the tender
Economic factors forced the emergency sale of his family's business, making it necessary for him to start working, selling things with his dad at a local flea market.
His professional career started at the tender
Economic factors forced the emergency sale of his family's business, making it necessary for him to start working, selling things with his dad at a local flea market.
He quickly found that, unlike the rest of the world he lived in, the business environment felt safe. He innately understood it. The exchange of money for goods and services made sense. He grew and continued to learn about commerce, reading voraciously about the great business minds down through the ages. In his teen years, he began to launch and build businesses of his own, sometimes failing and sometimes wildly succeeding. His high flying Florida real estate business became a victim of the 2008 downturn, but he rebounded by turning that tragedy into a thriving business built around helping others in real estate understand the world of distressed properties, of which there were many at the time. For that, homeowners and real estate experts are eternally grateful. In fact the U.S. Treasury Office has data that shows that Alex's CDPE process shortened the recovery of the foreclosure crisis in this country by at least five years.
Now, Alex has turned his attention and resources to what is without a doubt the most important work he believes he will ever do- helping other EPT's prosper and understand themselves so they can make the difference that they are intended to make.
His book, The Entrepreneurial Personality Type, published in 2016, has become the handbook for his restless tribe around the world looking for answers. He has obviously struck a resonant chord with his findings and his continued learning and discoveries on the subject. He's spoken on the biggest stages, appeared on TV and in print for major media outlets such as MSNBC, CNBC, FOX News, The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Investor's Business Daily and AmEx OPEN Forum to provide his unique views and insights. His next book, Momentum, will publish in early 2018.
Alex lives in Austin with his wife, Cadey, and their two children,
Reagan and Kennedy.
Co-Founder & President
Some of us show our entrepreneurial unrest early, Cadey Charfen was no exception. She was the only person on her debate team who attended meetings in her cheerleading uniform. She wore princess dresses, usually to chase frogs.
Like many entrepreneurs she had a couple of careers by the time she graduated high school. Shortly after she took off with Southwest Airlines and watched one of the best run companies in the world from inside. After a few years she started her first real business and made more in her first quarter then she had the prior year, this was her warmup act.
In 2007 she co-founded CHARFEN, ran operations and scaled the company as revenues grew from zero to over $10,000,000 a year. With Cadey leading the team, Charfen grew over 8,000% in three years. This gained attention and awards from Inc Magazine, Best Places to Work, and Fast 50.
Cadey currently lives in Austin and owns properties in California and Aspen. She enjoys her free time with Alex and their daughters Reagan and Kennedy.

Currently, I run an exciting community art and heritage project in Bideford, North Devon. Called Way of the Wharves, it's about creating renewed knowledge and pride in the maritime history of a deprived ward (East-the-Water).
Myself and a dedicated group of volunteers do this by organising events, art workshops, education programmes, recordings of oral histories, designing tourist information panels, and researching stories of how people lived and worked around the quayside and port of Bideford.
Once an important, strategic port for worldwide trade and ship building, Bideford's rich heritage and tidal estuary lends itself to be regenerated for generations who know nothing about this.
I manage the day-to-day project, the volunteers, social media, finances and really enjoy creating new workshops and motivating people to come together to build a better and more positive community environment.
You can follow what the Way of the Wharves team are up to on our Facebook page.
I've also run youth film inclusion projects, with those Not in Education Employment or Training (NEETs), and been project co-ordinator for community arts, literature and theatre festivals.

Powerkiss: Furniture that Charges Without Wires
Photo Credit Emma Alter
No more wires and wall-warts! Powerkiss introduces a world without chargers. They build an induction charging module into furniture, and supply a small charging stick that attaches to your phone. It will be easier to use this in Europe, which is moving toward a charging standard; the charging stick could even be integrated into the phone. It doesn't produce enough power right now to do laptops, but as their energy requirements come down they may soon.
I interview Powerkiss founder and CEO Maija Itkonen.
The wireless system is based on resonance induction – an old, trusted and cost-effective technology. Power is created between two sets of resonating coils, several in the furniture module and one in the charging stick. To charge the gadgets, one only needs to place them on the charging surface of the furniture. As the current devices do not yet support wireless charging, Powerkiss has an external charging stick for the devices. The upcoming common standard for universal mobile phone chargers will make the device adaptation even easier. At present the Powerkiss technology is suitable for small handheld devices, but in the near future it will be adapted for larger equipment, such as laptops.

The Powerkiss Table is designed by Terhi Tuominen, who
has studied furniture design in both London Metropolitan University and the University of Art and Design Helsinki. Currently based in Finland, she has been running her own design agency since 2006, working on projects in the fields of furniture design, interior architecture, as well as exhibition and event design for clients varying from advertising agencies and law firms to retail spaces.

We are all entitled to expect to do a day's work without being injured by the equipment we use. Unfortunately, far too many people do get injured by their work equipment, all too often suffering serious injury and incurring significant losses as a result.

Please call us now on 0800 028 2060 or complete our Free Online Work Accident Enquiry and we will soon be taking care of you and your claim.
"Outstanding client service from start to finish. From the very first time I called Russell Worth I was impressed with their friendly professionalism. I had called a number of the TV advertised compensation lawyers and large firms with impressive websites and received nothing but poor service from what appeared to be over-worked and under-trained staff. I had hesitated to call RWS because they are located at the other end of the country to me, but I'm so glad I made that call. RWS are just the very best at listening, understanding my situation, putting me at ease and coming up quickly with a plan of action that resulted in more compensation than I had expected possible. Actually, the TV advertised legal firms had told me I couldn't expect any compensation for my injuries. Thanks heavens for RWS!!"
Our specialists can:
Our team of specialists have won many claims for injuries caused by defective work equipment. We know that many injuries occur because employers don't always comply with the law. We know from experience that accidents are more likely to happen if your employer does not supply you with the right equipment, or doesn't check that it is right for the job you are doing, or gives you equipment that is faulty- and that can apply even if your employer doesn't know that the equipment is faulty!
We know that sometimes employers don't even think about the equipment they give to their employees…
Work equipment can include factory machinery such as presses or drills, office equipment like chairs and furniture, and also equipment used out on the road, such as plumber's or electrician's tools.
Any injury caused by defective machinery, to include:

4 years, 1 month.
Dear Jack,
This year for Christmas, it worked out for our family to spend about 5 days at my parents' house in Fort Payne, Alabama.
So last Tuesday after I got off work, and after you and Mommy had visited both Primrose and Rainbow daycare facilities as we decide which one to transfer you to once we move into our new house in a month (our closing date is exactly a month from today), we loaded up the 2014 Lexus LX 570 and made our way across the Tennessee state line.
After we settled in that night (December 23rd), I noticed something:
The Christmas tree's ornaments serve as a 1980s time capsule.
Those ornaments mainly consist of decorations collected during my childhood.
There are crocheted ornaments clearly displaying the year "1987" on them. There is also an array of ornaments I made in school and church, from 1987 to 1991.
In fact, the one from 1987, where I am sitting on (a very lousy looking) Santa, features me wearing a McDonald's sweat suit.
The irony is very present; never knowing back then that I would eventually become a vegan, nor would I have been able really understand what that word even meant back then.
I also noticed a 25 year-old egg shell ornament. Back in 3rd grade, for Christmas 1989, I had made an ornament in Mrs. Lawrence's class, where we all brought in an egg, poked it with a needle to drain it, then covered it in sparkles, a sticker, and some glue.
Somewhat miraculously, than 25 year-old egg has never cracked or shattered!
I also laughed when I saw the Star of David made out of tongue depressors. It helps explain why I always sort of assumed we were Jewish.
And don't forget the bubble lights! It's amazing those things still work…
The next morning on Christmas Eve (December 24th), your cousin Calla came over and the two of you both got to open one present early.
She got a Play-Doh factory and you got a really cool Lego set that was a tree house; which contained a Lego treasure map and a pizza!
It's a bit of a blur, but at some point while your Uncle Andrew helped you build the new Lego set, I ended up wearing the top part of a broken sombrero that I think my Great-aunt Jennie had bought for me as a souvenir while visiting Mexico, where her parents were born.
You were pleasantly surprised when you discovered a Brother Bear figurine of the Berentstain Bears (from a McDonald's Happy Meal); being that you had just watched on the DVD on the drive there in the car, on the Lexus LX's built-in system.
So I guess it's safe to say in addition to the Christmas tree's ornaments serving as a 1980's time capsule, my overflowing collection of McDonald's Happy Meal toys helped add to that undeniable sense of nostalgia at your Nonna and Papa's house.
Just check out that ice cream cone that transforms into a robot!

Are you looking for a replacement for your busted lappie? Well, you'll be happy to know that NEO is conducting a trade-in promotion for old and defective notebooks in exchange for massive discounts off the price of a brand new, Neo B5702 (which incidentally we reviewed here). How deep of a discount are you looking at? Well, if you trade-in an old NEO notebook, you're looking at a price drop of Php 10,000 off of the B5702's sticker price of Php 34,999, meaning you'll be able to take it home for Php 24,999. If you're trading in a non-NEO brand, you'll still be able to score a Php 2,000 discount off of the retail price, dropping the price down to Php 26,999.
There are some caveats though, chief of which is that the trade-in promo is on a one-unit-per-trade-in basis. It means you cannot trade in more than one old laptop to get more than the discounts offered. Only one old laptop will be accepted for every purchase of one unit of B5702. If you want to trade in another old unit, you will have to use it for another purchase of B5702.
The promotion will run from November 4-7, 2011, at the following NEO showrooms:
- SM Megamall, Tel. No. 02-683-0861
- NCCC Mall, Davao City, Tel. No. 082-297-1201

Hearts Love and Happiness Gemstone jewellery While gifting or buying heart shaped jewelry do keep in mind these points
|Heart Shaped Diamond Jewellery Pendants on Amazon

From the healing point of view such jewelry brings about a feeling of connection, a healing bonding and helps rejuvenate relationship with new energy.
While gifting or buying heart shaped jewelry do keep in mind-
1) Buy complete heart shaped jewelry. Incomplete images send wrong message to the universe.
2) Avoid black colored stones in heart shaped jewelry. Black hearts do not indicate true love.

4) Buy from reputed stores so that the product you get is of good quality and does not break fast by the seasons end!
5) Heart shaped jewelry can be gifted any time of the year for expressing your feelings and not just for the festive times. Two hearts do not need any explanation to understand the symbolism.

There are several biblical accounts that are the basis for the modern practice of using a prayer cloth to assist the pray-er to receive positive answers to prayer.
Matthew 9:20-22 tells the story of a woman who had suffered severe bleeding for twelve years. She managed to touch the hem of Jesus' garment believing this simple contact would heal her. Jesus countered in verse 22, telling her, "…your faith has made you well."
In Matthew 14:34-36 When they had crossed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret. And when the men of that place recognized Him, they sent out into all that surrounding region, brought to Him all who were sick, and begged Him that they might only touch the hem of His garment. And as many as touched it were made perfectly well. NKJV
Acts 19:11-12 relates how handkerchiefs that Paul had merely touched were carried to the sick, healing people of diseases and evil spirits.

We're almost to the end of the 402 page Fantasy Craft tome from the great folks at Crafty Games! Chapter 6 deals with NPCs and monsters and though I was a bit put off by the tons of options in the combat chapter, this chapter showed more of the great design work that has gone into this game.
Let's face it… whether you call them game masters (GMs), dungeon masters (DMs), lore masters (LMs), "Lord of the Table," "Adam", "Mark," or some other synonym, epithet, or name I've not come across… they have a tough job. Sure, the players have to save the world (or their own butts) with their player characters (PCs), but GMs have to create EVERYTHING else. All the people, places, and things you encounter as a player that you didn't create yourself – your GM created for you. And creating all that "stuff" can be hampered by poorly designed books, unclear rules, difficulties balancing creations with PC levels, or other constraints of time, energy, and resources. (Do we have a "GM's Day" yet on the calendar? They deserve one!)
That's where "Chapter 6: Foes" comes in for Fantasy Craft. It actually offers a process and plenty of options by which you can create stats for a NPC or beastie. What a concept!
First, they're all NPCs in FC. Whether you're talking about NPCs you might encounter in a town and chat with or the monsters and foes you meet on a battlefield doesn't really matter. They're all NPCs. That said, there are two distinctions – they're either "standard" or "special." Think of this like the difference between a minion and a more important NPC in other games.
Second, if you're simply looking for a catalog of pre-generated NPCs and monsters, you're in luck. There are fifty pages of pre-gen NPCs and monsters with plenty of templates for adding different qualities quickly. Have a peasant that was just zombified? There's a template for that. Want to create a giant lich? Sure, why not? There are templates for those too.
Third, if you want to create something a bit more specialized from scratch, you have a clear set of steps and options to guide your way. I wish I had the same thing when I was creating NPCs for Palladium Fantasy more than 20 years ago!
Five steps take you from concept to complete NPC with stats and an XP value.
- Step 0: Concept – Person, animal, or monster? Any initial thoughts on motivations, appearance, strengths, and weaknesses can help you choose things through the rest of the process.
- Step 1: Statistics – Attributes, skills, initiative, attack and defense bonuses, saves, and other stats.
- Step 2: NPC Qualities – What special abilities and weaknesses does the NPC have?
- Step 3: Attacks – What does it use to attack with? Weapons? Claws? Gazes? Bites?
- Step 4: Gear and Treasure – What kind of loot does the NPC have?
- Step 5: XP Value (Optional) – This step is optional unless you're dealing with special adversaries or NPCs players build.
So let's walk through this process and actually create an NPC.
Step 0: Concept
Let's say I want to create a corrupt sheriff for the players to deal regularly. That's my basic concept – "corrupt sheriff." He's going to be human, strong, intimidating, and greedy. That's enough to get me going.
Step 1: Statistics
This step is broken into a few parts – Size, Type, Mobility, Attributes, Traits, Health, and Signature Skills.
Size-wise, this guy is just medium sized with a normal reach. So "Medium" with a "Reach" of zero. So far his XP worth is zero.
- Type-wise, he fits into the general "Folk" category as a normal "civilized creature with linguistic skills" that lives among his own kind. No XP bump.
- Mobility-wise, he's just human so we'll go with "Walker" with two legs. Again – no XP bump.
- Attributes-wise, tens across the board doesn't really work. So we'll go with: Str 16, Dex 14, Con 16, Int 12, Wis 12, Cha 14. Each point above 10 counts as 1 XP, so we're at 24 XP so far.
- Traits-wise… Hmmm… Each of the five traits (Initiative, Attack, Defense, Resilience, and Competence) is rated from I to X (1 to 10), with each point equating to 1 XP again. He's going to be tough in a fight, so we'll go with Initiative II, Attack IV, Defense IV, Resilience IV, and Competence V. That amounts to another 19 XP, which brings us to 43 XP now.
- Health-wise, our sheriff is going to be tough to take down. Health is again rated I-X, with each point being another XP. We want him tough, but not too tough, so we'll set Health to IV. So now we're up to 47 XP.
- Lastly let's go with Athletics V, Investigate IV, and Intimidate V for his signature skills. That brings us up another 14 XP to 61 XP.
Step 2: NPC Qualities
There's a great list of qualities, from Achilles Heel to Veteran… We'll add "Feral" (+1 XP) because he gets out of control in combat sometimes. We'll give him "Menacing Threat" (+2 XP) because he likes to throw his weight around. And we'll give him "Treacherous" (+5 XP) so he can do critical hits a bit more easily in combat. That's another 8 XP, so now he's at 69 XP total.
Step 3: Attacks
Our sheriff is just a regular tool-using humanoid, so we'll skip this and assume he uses a sword, dagger, or other tool like the rest of the humanoids.
Step 4: Gear and Treasure
As a greedy, corrupt sheriff, I think our bad NPC should have some loot, don't you? We'll give him a chain shirt, a longsword, and a bag of gold. I like this step because when the PCs kill him, they get to roll in a few different categories – (A)ny (random), (C)oin, (G)ear, (L)oot, (M)agic, and (T)rophies. Each has a table later in the book. So let's say he has 2C, 2G, and 1T and call it good.
Step 5: XP Value
Since there's only one corrupt sheriff, his XP value becomes his bounty, which is earned when he's defeated. In this case, he has a bounty of 69 XP.
Gerry Mander (Corrupt Sheriff) (Medium Folk Walker – 69 XP): Str 16, Dex 14, Con 16, Int 12, Wis 12, Cha 14; SZ M (Reach 1); Spd 30 ft; Init II, Atk IV, Def IV, Res IV; Health IV; Comp V; Skills: Athletics V, Investigate IV, Intimidate V; Qualities: Feral, Menacing Threat, Treacherous; Attacks/Weapons: Longsword; Gear: Fitted chain shirt; Treasure: 2C, 2G, 1T
Quick and easy, with a stat block that's easily copied wherever I'd need it in my notes for a session.
Honestly, this is another section that should become the norm for other games. It would be awesome to be able to quickly assemble NPCs/Monsters in any game you were using.
In addition to the steps to NPC creation and the libraries of standard NPCs and monsters, you also get steps on how to convert monsters and other NPC stats from D&D 3.5 (OGL) format into Fantasy Craft. This should simplify the process of converting existing adventures into something that you could use with FC.
So that's really all of "Chapter 6: Foes." Next time we'll look at "Chapter 7: Worlds" and deal with the rest of the book. Eventually I promise I'll be done with this review of Fantasy Craft!

Antibiotics in Cirrhosis with Hemorrhage
PubMed • Full text • PDF
Clinical Question
Among cirrhotic patients who present with GI bleed, how does ceftriaxone compare to norfloxacin in reducing the rate of bacterial infections?
Bottom Line
Among cirrhotic patients with GI bleed, ceftriaxone reduces the rate of bacterial infection by 67% but does not confer an increased survival benefit when compared to norfloxacin.
Major Points
In 1992, a landmark trial by Soriano et al[1] demonstrated that norfloxacin reduces the incidence of bacterial infections and is associated with a nonsignificant trend towards improved survival among cirrhotic patients with GI bleed. Administration of antibiotics to these patients became considered standard-of-care soon thereafter. Subsequent epidemiologic studies revealed changes in antimicrobial resistance patterns, with many quinolone-resistant bacteria causing infections in these patients. This prompted the current study, which demonstrated the superiority of ceftriaxone over norfloxacin in reducing the rate of bacterial infections among cirrhotic patients with GI bleed. However, a 2010 Cochrane review[2] did not find benefit of one antibiotic over another and, therefore, recommended antibiotic choice based upon local sensitivities.
AASLD Esophageal Varices (2007)[3]
- Patients with cirrhosis and GI hemorrhage should receive up to 7 days of antibiotic prophylaxis (class I level A)
- Norfloxacin 400 mg PO BID or ciprofloxacin IV (no dose given) is recommended (class I level A)
- If the center has high quinolone resistance or the patient has advanced cirrhosis, ceftriaxone 1g IV daily may be preferable (class I level B)
- Multicenter, double-blinded, parallel-group, randomized controlled trial
- Ceftriaxone (n=54)
- Norfloxacin (n=57)
- Setting: 4 centers in Spain
- Enrollment: 2000-2004
- Analysis: Intention-to-treat
- Primary outcome: Proven infections plus possible infections

- Other: 13%
- Adjunctive therapies:
- Terlipressin or somatostatin: 77%
- Emergency sclerotherapy or banding: 61%
- Balloon tamponade: 6%
- Surgical shunt: 5%
- Randomized to norfloxacin 400mg orally bid vs. ceftriaxone 1g IV daily
- Central line used in most patients
- Somatostatin or terlipressin was given to patients with hemorrhage from variceal or portal hypertensive gastropathy
- Evaluated daily for development of proved or possible infection
- Follow-up 10 days
Comparisons are ceftriaxone vs. norfloxacin.
Primary Outcomes
- Proven infections plus possible infections
- 11% vs. 33% (P=0.003)
Secondary Outcomes
- Proven infections
- 11% vs. 26% (P=0.03)
- Spontaneous bacteremia or SBP
- 2% vs. 12% (P=0.03)
- 10-day mortality
- 11% vs. 9% (P=NS)
- Inpatient mortality
- 15% vs. 11% (P=NS)
- Not powered to detect mortality
- Antibiotics compared were delivered via different routes (PO vs. IV), which may favor ceftriaxone, particularly when the majority of patients had nasogastric tubes in place

Saving the date
One of my best friend's Jeni is getting married this summer and I am so excited to be a part of it. Not only am I in the wedding, but she also asked me to help her with some of the design elements for her big day.

Keith kept the Muni love alive and proposed at the bus stop so it was only appropriate to go with a bus theme for their save the dates. Here's what I put together for them. And the back: I'm really excited to share the save the dates for my wedding with you all very soon!

10 Printable Soda Labels
10 Printable Soda Labels
10 Printable Soda Labels is free HD wallpaper. This wallpaper was upload at November 16, 2019 upload by Darra Lisette Ellard in Printable Labels.
How to Write Efficient Labels (1 )
Did you create a return to, compose a cover letter, as well as spend hours sending them out? If so, you might be wondering exactly how do you create an efficient labels that obtains outcomes?
There are numerous factors that this might be happening to you– and also despite the reason, there's no question that a prolonged, not successful task hunt is aggravating. Even if you are still currently utilized and also just looking around since you intend to make a relocation, it can be disheartening to hang around on applications, labelss, as well as cover letters only to get no feedback. This is particularly real in today's employee's market for tasks– many companies are wanting to employ, that it can be extra irritating when you don't obtain a call, whether you're looking for an executive position or an entry-level setting.
The answer could not be your labels, however it definitely does not harmed to begin by taking a difficult, analytical look at the labels you are sending out in to possible employers. Creating your labels is hard, and also it does not hurt to take a second look directed by questions from an unbiased specialist labels writer. As a labels author, there are a few red flags that I stumble upon commonly.
Allow's experience a few concerns that can help you analyze where your labels may be failing, as well as exactly how you can better reveal a prospective employer that you are a top prospect.
What makes a good return to is various from company to company, from task to job, and applicant to candidate. The one thing all good labelss have in common? They're all various, as well as all separately tailored. Proceed as well as consider return to examples and also sample return to online, however don't ever before simply connect your info right into one. Personalize your labels. It's time consuming, yet it deserves it.
Does My Labels Still Have A Job Objective Statement?
If it does, strike it out and also change with either a job summary declaration or an individual branding statement. A job unbiased declaration discuss what you desire from the employer, while a summary declaration and a personal branding statement are both tailored toward exactly how your ability and also experience are qualifications that can benefit the employer.
Have I Check My Labels? Has Somebody else?
If the response to either of these questions is no, that's a trouble. By the 3rd time you review or rewrote your return to, you're possibly ill of it as well as reading what you desire it to state.
If they locate typos or grammatic errors that you missed out on, that could very well be a reason you're not obtaining interview telephone calls. Despite the fact that it's an expression I advise you not to utilize straight on your return to, it's still essential that you are detail-oriented, and also mistakes on your labels are a fast means to let a hiring supervisor recognize you didn't take constantly you could carry this important document.
Is My Return to The Exact Same Format and Format As It Was 10 Years Ago?
Yes, we had Microsoft Word ten years ago and we still do today. Also if you're making use of the same program to write your return to, it needs to not look the same. Think about the way that what you read throughout the day looks so different currently than it did 10 or fifteen years earlier. Were 'infographics' included in every news article?
Did you scroll past an all-text Facebook post to get to the one with a graphic and also bolder message?
Apply these concepts to your return to. In other words– make use of a modern-day return to style.
A contemporary labels format will certainly aid you stand out as it will assist a possible company's interest to the most important info on your labels while holding their focus as they are able to review the way they have been educated to do by the contemporary world and its social media sites, mobile phone, and also internet-focused manner of details sharing.
For layout and also layout ideas, you can check out search about this blog site.
Is My Labels ATS-Optimized?
If it's been awhile considering that you've gotten job, this inquiry might make you state, "huh?" as well as you're not the only one.
ATS means Applicant Tracking System, an usual technique utilized by companies to extract labelss based on search phrases utilizing a computer system program. Prior to your return to also obtains near a human's eyes at many companies, it has to get with a computer system.
The response may not be your return to, yet it absolutely doesn't injured to begin by taking a difficult, analytical look at the labels you are sending out in to possible employers. Writing your return to is hard, and also it does not injured to take a 2nd appearance guided by concerns from an unbiased expert labels writer. You should have a master labels that covers your entire career background, skills, strengths, as well as success, but that need to not be the return to variation that you send out to a company. Having numerous variations of your return to is one of the finest labels creating ideas I can give.
Go in advance and look at labels instances and also sample labels online, but do not ever before simply plug your info into one.

Thirty-three years ago in 1977, Janet Guthrie became the first woman to compete in the Indianapolis 500, but women car racers were still few and far between. Then In 2005, 23-year-old Danica Patrick made her Indianapolis 500 debut, finished in fourth place, and changed things for female car racers everywhere.
Last weekend marked the first time five women tried qualifying for the Indy 500. Four of them made it. Two of those rookie racers -- Ana Beatriz of Brazil and Simona de Silvestro of Switzerland -- outperformed Patrick, who was actually booed after blaming her poor racing on bad mechanics. So while Patrick may be the only current household female car racer name in America, that could be about to change.
Meet the four women to watch out for at the 100th Anniversary Indy 500 race today.
Simona de SilvestroSimona de Silvestro: This Switzerland racer, who is often referred to as the "Swiss Miss," is slated to be the darling of the IndyCar series when Danica Patrick packs her gear for NASCAR for good. She will line up 23rd in today's race.
Danica Patrick
Danica Patrick: The first woman to win an IndyCar race (2008 Indy Japan 300), Patrick has been on America's radar since she placed fourth in the Indy 500 in 2005. She was 96 on Forbes' recent list of the most powerful people in entertainment, popular culture, and sports. This may be her last time on the Indy Circuit -- rumor has it, she's headed to NASCAR full time. Patrick will line up 26th in today's race.
Pippa Mann
Pippa Mann: This 27-year-old British racer will be making her debut in the IZOD IndyCar Series today. Mann is first-ever British female to drive the 500-mile race and she's the only rookie in a one-off entry to make the field this year. Mann will line up 31st in today's race.
Ana Beatriz
Ana Beatriz: A Brazilian, Beatriz, 26, started racing go-carts when she was just a kid. From there she progressed to Formula car and then the Indy Lights series. She became the first woman to win an Indy Lights race when she won at Nashville last July. Beatriz will line up 32nd in today's race.
Who's your favorite female racing the Indy 500 today?

Notes from the Couch: Idol PVs 2017 Week 13 (0402-0408)
Over at New School Kaidan, I write a few words about some of the recently released promotional videos. At times, this is a bit of a grueling task, and all of my thoughts can get a little scattered when multiple PVs are released on the same day. But, I always try to present the promotional videos in the best light possible, and I try to remember that each of these pieces of entertainment for your a me is actually the manifestation of a dream for some young girl or girls out there in Japan. Here then is a collection of those write-ups, with a few words sometimes added after a week+ of viewing.
This week we have Promotional videos from:
Kyary Pamyu Pamyu – Iisuta
In the most improbable of improbable, Kyary Pamyu Pamyu's newest single is an Easter song. I'm not sure how much Easter saturation the Japanese market experiences, not do I know what Japan is doing with a "Christian" holiday like Easter. But, here we have it! To be fair, Kyary Pamyu Pamyu only celebrates the fun and hijinks side of the Spring Equinox with eggs galore. The eggs in question are pastoral colored claymation beings that look like they belong in the fictional Kingdom of Borovnia. You'll find egg carnage, a half shell bubble bath, and the puzzling inclusion of capybara in Kyary's Easter. Bagpipes and fifes call out an interesting musical blend that plays less like a dance floor and more like a jaunty jig. So everyone: march along with Kyary and try not to be abducted by the sunny side up flying saucers. Yes, that makes sense in the context of the PV. Kyary Pamyu Pamyu's "Easta" beams down to Earth on April 5, 2017.

Be Kind, (Promotional Video) Rewind – 20161127 to 20161203
Over at New School Kaidan, I write a few words about some of the recently released promotional videos. This is a collection of those write-ups, with a few words sometimes added after a week+ of viewing.
This week we have Promotional videos from Dempagumi.inc, SUPER☆GiRLS (Rewind Exclusive), Shiritsu Ebisu Chuugaku (Rewind Exclusive), Shinozaki Ai (Rewind Exclusive), predia, Moso Calibration (Rewind Exclusive), Especia, X21, dela (Rewind Exclusive), Shounen ga Milk, and Summer Rocket (Rewind Exclusive).
Dempagumi.inc – WWDBEST
Do you hear that? It's the ghost of Dempagumi.inc's greatest hits bubbling to the surface for their latest promotional video, "WWDBEST". You will hear the familiar musical catch phrases for much of the group's single discography throughout the PV. Also, your eyes are treated to a bit of a mish mosh of he group's video discography. Just like it sounds on paper, "WWDBEST" is a glorious mess. While that doesn't sound like much of a compliment, that descriptor I think accurately describes much of what transpired over the last 8 years with Dempagumi.inc. Like it or leave it, love it or loathe it, you can't deny Dempagumi.inc's presence in an idol world that's grown increasingly eccentric. You will find "WWDBEST" on Dempagumi.inc's 3CD "best of" set, "WWDBEST ~Dempa Ryoko!~" on sale December 21, 2016.
