'Whoever said high school was the best years of your life, clearly never had to contend with ghosts, fae, vampires and contracts from demons. And that's before the math test is done.
Monsterhearts is a game where you play teenage monsters, manipulating, controlling and falling in and out of lust & lust. Will you and your beloved die romantic yet tragic deaths? Or will you be the spurned best friend?
Remember high school? All the angst, the drama, the rebellion, the gossip, the crushes, the homework, the exams, scholarships, careers, family obligations, fashion, music, and being very misunderstood?
It's no different when you're a student at Innsmouth High School. Well, all right, maybe it's a little different - maybe in other towns they don't go skinny dipping at Devil's Reef, maybe other teenagers don't have arranged marriages with Deep Ones to worry about and maybe other teenagers don't have to worry about how their gills look with the latest looks in Cosmo. But other than that, it's not much different being a teenager in a decaying town trapped in an ongoing alliance with a race of underwater monsters.
A group of ten friends are having a small party to celebrate their graduation - to reflect on the last few years, to talk about the future, and maybe resolve some of those unresolved feuds or unspoken crushes.
A comedy larp for ten players. As they say at Innsmouth High - it's only funny until someone gets sacrificed to Dagon. Then it's HILARIOUS.

It's always great to see green energy initiatives being adopted at the state level. With the approval of this legislature, New York has committed to reducing its greenhouse gas emissions to zero by 2050. Certainly ambitious, although, even so, it still may not be good enough.

A high oil, highly digestible fibre diet combined with low starch specifically for optimum stomach health and muscle function. The horse has evolved to eat on a little and often basis. This eating behaviour ensures a regular supply of saliva which acts as a natural buffer to gastric acid. When stabling a horse it is recommended to feed good quality forage and low starch feeds to help maintain stomach health and avoid excess gastric acid. Muscle stiffness and soreness are often found in performance horses and it is recommended to allow as much turn out as possible, combined with a high forage low starch diet, to ensure good muscle health and performance.

Software packages for reconstructability analysis (RA), as well as for related log linear modeling, generally provide a fixed set of functions. Such packages are suitable for end‐users applying RA in various domains, but do not provide a platform for research into the RA methods themselves. A new software system, Occam3, is being developed which is intended to address three goals which often conflict with one another to provide: a general and flexible infrastructure for experimentation with RA methods and algorithms; an easily‐configured system allowing methods to be combined in novel ways, without requiring deep software expertise; and a system which can be easily utilized by domain researchers who are not computer specialists. Meeting these goals has led to an architecture which strictly separates functions into three layers: the core, which provides representation of data sets, relations, and models; the management layer, which provides extensible objects for development of new algorithms; and the script layer, which allows the other facilities to be combined in novel ways to address a particular domain analysis problem.

I think it is pretty obvious by now that black is my favourite color. My wardrobe is pretty colorful but I tend to lean onto black outfits a lot ; black is slimming (wait...is that a fact or a myth?) Anyways, for this outfit post I have on a peplum top with beautiful detailing on the shoulders.

District News
Test data show improvement trend continues
Three schools raised their school performance grade and 11 schools met or exceeded academic growth expectations, based on results of state accountability test results for 2018-2019. Lenoir County Early College High School repeated as the district's best academic performer, with a 91.9 proficiency rating and an "A" letter grade. Two schools – South Lenoir High and Moss Hill Elementary – logged B's and eight made C's, including North Lenoir High, which – like Southeast and Moss Hill – clicked up a grade from 2018.
Duke grant funding middle school STEM kits
A grant for nearly $12,000 from the Duke Energy Foundation will fund hands-on STEM learning activities at Woodington, Rochelle and E.B. Frink middle schools, Contentnea-Savannah K-8 School and Lenoir County Learning Academy.
Positivity rules as new school year begins
Perhaps buoyed by a smooth opening for the 16 schools on LCPS's traditional calendar, perhaps energized by a series of rousing professional development sessions led by nationally known educators earlier this month, perhaps excited simply about getting back into the school house and practicing their craft, teachers and administrators broadcast that upbeat vibe to a receptive bunch of parents and students on the first day of the 2019-2020 school year.
State employees donate school supplies
The employees of the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services in Raleigh collected a truckload of school supplies for Lenoir County Public Schools and the department's leader, Dr. Mandy Cohen, delivered them to Superintendent Brent Williams herself on Tuesday.
Sports teams opening up to home-schoolers
Beginning with the new school year and the fall sports season, Lenoir County Public Schools will open up participation in middle school and high school athletics to home-schooled students in Lenoir County who meet eligibility requirements established recently by the North Carolina High School Athletic Association. Parents of interested students in the Rochelle attendance zone should contact our school for more information and to register. Eligibility requirements can be found here.
LCPS seeking substitute teachers
Are you interested in making a difference in the lives of young people in Lenoir County by becoming a substitute teacher? LCPS is now taking applications for the 2019-2020 school year. To qualify, applicants must complete an Effective Teacher Training course (offered at Lenoir Community College) or possess a valid teaching license, complete an online application and get on the waiting list for an interview. For more information call the HR Department at 252-527-1109.

Ah, that's better... Finally found a Jabba actually on the shelf. Snapped it up for an extra, since I want to try my hand at a repaint. Too bad about the price increase though.
The best (and most frustrating) thing about that picture is that if you look closely you can see they actually have the TCW Wave 2 figures on the pegs. NINE freaking Walmarts here and they can't find a box of these between them to put out. That's a beautiful picture though.

The past week saw a slew of economic data released from all over the world. Investors' eyes, however, were focused on the U.S. as we reported a lower than expected GDP, and Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke made his highly anticipated Jackson Hole speech. Although the Chairman made no mention of a third round of quantitative easing, markets held their ground as Bernanke assured citizens that the Fed will closely monitor the situation and reassess its next move in a month. In other news, Hurricane Irene is heading straight for the East Coast of the U.S., and is predicted to cause a significant amount of damage, forcing investors to scramble before markets close for the weekend.
The ETF world took a backseat this week as investors had bigger fish to fry. Below, we outline three of the best ETF stories investors may have missed in this hectic week:
Gold and Silver Aren't the Only Precious Metals Making a Killing at Money Morning:
The last few months have seen gold make a historic run, as the metal briefly topped the $1,900 per ounce mark last week. As the metal has shot up, more and more investors have hopped on board, allowing GLD to surpass SPY in assets for a short period of time. But while investors have been focused on gold and silver, there are other precious metals performing quite well. This article, by Peter Krauth, outlines the recent performances of platinum and palladium, two metals that investors should also watch in the current environment. Krauth also outlines two ETFs to gain access to these metals, PALL and PPLT.
BIL, SHV: Guaranteed Zero Returns at IndexUniverse:
As markets have become increasingly tumultuous in recent weeks, investors have been piling into their favorite safe havens like treasury funds. Last month alone saw inflows of over $1.1 billion in the 1-3 year T-Bill ETF (BIL), along with several other treasury ETFs. But are investors really gaining anything from these allocations? Gene Koyfman certainly doesn't think so, as he compares one of these products to storing cash in a basic checking account. Koyfman goes on to outline what he feels are better options for investors to find both safety and yield in the ETF space during these uncertain times.
ETFs To Tap Into Emerging Market Consumers: Six Ways To Play at ETF Database:
Interest in emerging markets has surged in recent years, and investors have embraced ETFs as the preferred means of accessing this asset class. As investors have grown tired of stagnant growth in numerous U.S. sectors, emerging markets have become necessary allocations for any well diversified portfolio. More recently, ETFs have helped target more specific sectors of various emerging markets, allowing investors to tap into the most profitable parts of certain economies. This article, by Stoyan Bojinov, outlines several emerging market ETFs that make a play on the consumer segment of various emerging economies across the globe.

Matt's Reflections On 2011
The independent web is growing quite a bit. Although we have these great cloud servers for WordPress, the software that people run and install themselves is still as popular as ever. Our services are bringing more people online, but they're also bringing more people who want to own their own space on the web–they want to own a house instead of rent an apartment. When we were first starting out, I thought, "Downloading and uploading software, managing databases, no one wants to do that." But it turns out, a lot of people do.

I had a fantastic and far ranging conversation with a fellow design professional this afternoon, sparked by the demolition of six historic homes on 31st Street just a couple days ago. One of the things we talked about was a disconnect between preservation professionals and developers who want to work in urban neighborhoods (specifically older established neighborhoods).
Sometimes despite a general desire to "do the right thing," they end up on the wrong side of the argument. Having worked on all phases of the development process (from land assembly, planning, and zoning to design, financing, and construction), I can identify with the need to be selective about sharing information publicly until the project is ready. Most developers working in older urban areas, however, tend to take this too far - holding their cards too close to their vest will breed distrust and antipathy from concerned neighbors and organizations. It sets up a needless climate of conflict.
Here is a brief overview of how to include preservation in the development planning process: Engage, Evaluate, Execute.

Kiehl's Midnight Recovery concentrate review
I broke the skincare buying ban, but it was worth it..
This little blue bottle has been in the back of my mind for a long time now, especially since i purchased my first Kiehl's product a few months ago and wanted to expand my Kiehl's collection.
I'm pretty sure when people think of Kiehl's they either think of the ultra facial range or this: the midnight recovery concentrate. Even the name gets me, it just sounds so powerful and wonderful and *spoiler alert* really thats exactly what it is.
With 99.8% naturally derived ingredients the midnight recovery concentrate is an all natural blend of oils that seriously packs a punch; you only need two to three drops of this to cover your whole face to instantly see and feel a difference. Although you see the full effect of this product after wearing it overnight i do definitely see a difference instantly which is something very unusual for a skincare product, its like you apply this and your skin is like thank you, just thanks.
When i apply this i use the dropper sparingly to drop three drops into the palm of one hand and with opposite fingers i pick up some product and go about dotting it onto my face. Once the product has been dotted onto each cheek, forehead and chin i press it into my skin using patting motions; Its hard to even describe how it looks and feels, its like the best version of your skin that you could ever have. You could then leave it at that, but i like to finish with a small amount of my Kiehl's ultra facial cream over the top.
A huge plus point for me is that this claims to work overnight, with most skincare products you usually have to use them for months before seeing a notable difference but after only one application of this i woke up with better skin. This is like an impatient persons dream. I really notice how much calmer my skin is after wearing this overnight, my redness is massively reduced and the overall look of my skin is just so much better – despite my marks and scars it actually looks like good skin.
At £38 for 30ml this is a pricey product but despite bring completely worth the money i imagine this bottle will last a really good amount of time. You only need two to three drops all over your face and because it has its own dropper you get a completely accurate amount of product; i'm so pleased about the dropper because i can imagine nightmare visions of having to pour out this product and wasting a huge amount.
If you haven't already caught on i'm in love with this product, i actually get excited to apply this so much so i actually forgot to use toner last night because i was so desperate to put it on my face.
Have you ever tried this or any other Kiehl's product? – Maria

"I play here every Thursday, so this is perfect," joked Chris Martin when he took the stage for a surprise performance inside Beverly Hills' Beverly Wilshire hotel at An Unforgettable Evening, the Women's Cancer Research Fund's 13th annual fundraising dinner. "Normally, it's bingo, so this is a step up for me."
Seconds before, the event's organizers had announced that the night's first musical guest had suddenly dropped out, a ruse, of course, to build excitement, and it worked. Jaws dropped as the Coldplay singer sat at the piano and played a series of touching tributes. First, to George Michael with a stripped-down version of Wham!'s "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go," followed by Leonard Cohen's "Suzanne" and David Bowie's "Life On Mars?"
"Can you stop filming?" he requested with a smile after the first number. "I'm going to play while you have dinner. This is not YouTube-able what's about to happen. Please stop filming, for real, for real. I'm just going to do my thing."
Most obliged, as they dined on the main course of seared chicken breast and veggies, and began chatting away, while Martin played, casually, filling the room with background music.
Tom Hanks, WCRF's Honorary Chair, along with wife Rita Wilson, walked from table to table with an empty, dollar-stuffed wine glass in hand. Tip money for Martin, he explained.
"The tip jar for Chris Martin raised $70,000, most of which paid for with selfies by me," Hanks later joked, before introducing the night's second act, Jason Derulo, who got everyone on their feet with "Talk Dirty" and "Want To Want Me," a request by Wilson, who danced her way to the front of the crowd.
The charity event brought out Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher, who introduced a video highlighting the launch of the partnership between WCRF, the leading force on cancer prevention research, and the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, the world's largest private funder of breast cancer research, founded by the late Evelyn H. Lauder in 1993. Sponsored by Saks Fifth Avenue, together, the organizations raised close to $2 million on Thursday night.
Soon, the video was cut short—technical difficulties it seemed. It was replayed, but yet again, it froze. Suddenly, Hanks stood up, attempting to lure the crown in a sing-along.
"One more time...all together now," he shouted to a room of laughs. "I just want to say cancer research is the most important work that can be done...Tig Notaro everybody," he concluded, introducing the night's emcee back onto the stage.
"It's nice to see Tom come out of his shell finally," joked Notaro, the comedian and breast cancer survivor who famously chronicled her diagnosis and double mastectomy in the documentary, Tig.
On the red carpet, Notaro had said she was looking forward to seeing if she could actually make people laugh, since "these kinds of events can get kind of awkward." She had nothing to fear, however, her dry humor was a hit.
"Before my surgery, I had really small boobs," she said in her opener to laughs. "Guys, I had cancer," she shamed the audience, bringing more laughs.
Before long, Elizabeth Hurley, who flew in from England, took the microphone to present Judy and Leonard Lauder, widower of Evelyn H. Lauder and a giant among philanthropists, the Nat King Cole Award, while Hanks and Wilson introduced Tom Ford, who received the Courage Award for helping to raise over $70 million in cancer research funds.
"I always carry something red in my left pocket," shared Ford earlier, revealing a small, red square from his blue velvet tuxedo jacket, his own creation of course.
A good luck charm?
"Yes, it is a bit of a good luck charm, especially when I have to get up in front of a bunch of people, so I don't trip, fall, screw up my speech," he said.
The designer and Nocturnal Animals director rarely shows himself so vulnerable, but in this moment, he was humbled, and it showed.
"To be honest, I'm quite self-conscious to be honored, especially accepting an award for courage, because the people who really deserve that award are the people who fight this disease every day, the people who suffer from the disease and the people on the forefront of research, taking care of those who are going through this terrible thing in their life," he said.
He paused.
"We've been together 30 years," he said of partner Richard Buckley. "After three years, Richard was diagnosed with stage four cancer. Twenty-seven years later, because of great medical care and attention, he is here alive and well. And like all of us, I think we all know friends and family who have suffered and dealt with cancer. It's an important cause to continue to fight."

- Russian MOD (30 Oct 2015) – Chief of the Main Operational Directorate of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces Andrei Kartapolov summed up the results of the actions of the Russian air group in Syria for the last month:
Quote taken from website: "A month has passed since the start of operation of the Russian air group in the Syrian Arab Republic.
The time has come to sum up certain results. In total, aircraft of the Russian air group have performed 1391 combat sorties engaging 1623 terrorist objects.
That includes:
- 249 different command and communication centres;
- 51 terrorist training camps;
- 35 plants and workshops equipping cars with explosives;
- 131 ammunition depots;
- 371 strong points and fortified positions;
- 786 field camps and different bases."
As the propaganda war intensifies, large parts of the statement are reserved for attempts to rebuff reports made of indiscriminate airstrikes by the Russian Airforce, especially in Western main stream media outlets.
Quote taken from Statement: "As evidence, they present another photo collage or video footage of some ruins without reference to the place and time of the certain event.
Thus, the western media published another "hoax" concerning the Al Farooq Omar Bin Al Khattab Mosque supposedly demolished by the Russian strikes in Jisr al-Shughur (Idlib province).
Today the real picture is shown by the means of objective monitoring.
The photo, which was made yesterday on October 29, 2015, show this mosque.
The photo show in detail that the mosque suffered no damage.
That is why all the so-called revelations published by a number of respected publications is nothing but just a simple fabrication, which has no real factual basis.
I address once again to the western partners, which are trying to accuse the Russian Defence Ministry of indiscriminate strikes.
We know that every single moment spacecraft and reconnaissance aircraft are surveying the actions of the Russian Air Force in Syria.
That is why if the military departments of the NATO countries and other states want to accuse the Russian party of something, they have the opportunity to present all the specific facts and documents as the Russian Ministry of Defence does."

When adding categories to an article, please make sure the categories are relevant to the subject matter of that article. For example, Reductor Curse would fall under Category:Curses as it is referred to as such, not Category:Charms or Category:Transfiguration Spells. Likewise, the Slug-Vomiting Charm would fall under both Category:Charms and Category:Curses, as it is identified as a Charm, but also mentioned that "Ron Weasley cursed himself".
Also, some categories are what is known as sub-categories, which fall under a larger category. For example, Category:Charms, Category:Transfiguration Spells, and Category:Curses are all sub-categories of Category:Spells, so it is not necessary to add Spells to the page's categories if it already has one of the others. Category:Conjurations is also a subcategory of Category:Transfiguration Spells. - Nick O'Demus 10:04, November 6, 2010 (UTC)

On October 20, 2017, the Federal Trade Commission issued an Enforcement Policy Statement regarding the applicability of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) to the collection and use of children's voice recordings, such as those collected when a child uses an internet-enabled device to perform a search via voice commands. The Enforcement Statement clarifies that verifiable parental consent is not required for certain such recordings.
The FTC's COPPA rule requires, among other things, operators of commercial websites or online services directed to children to provide notice of their information practices to parents and to obtain verifiable parental consent before collecting a child's personal information. As originally promulgated, the rule defined "personal information" to include data such as name, address, and social security number. In 2013, the FTC amended its COPPA rule to add audio files containing a child's voice to the definition of personal information. Thus, covered operators must provide notice and obtain verifiable parental consent before "collecting" a child's voice recording. (A covered operator is deemed to have "collected" personal information when it requests, prompts, or encourages a child to submit such information online.)
Since the 2013 amendment, the FTC received inquiries from a number of companies about the applicability of COPPA to an app or internet-enabled device that allows children to perform a search via voice commands or give verbal instructions to a device. Specifically, companies asked whether the practice of collecting audio files that contain a child's voice, immediately converting the audio to text, and deleting the file containing the voice recording triggers COPPA's requirements. In the Enforcement Statement, the Commission clarified that it does not.
The agency explained that, although the COPPA rule does not provide a mechanism for the operator to avoid being deemed to have collected the personal information by deleting it, the Commission nonetheless "recognizes the value of using voice as a replacement for written words in performing search and other functions on internet-connected devices." Moreover, when the operator "only maintains the file long enough to [effectuate an instruction or request] and then immediately deletes it, there is little risk the audio file will be used to contact an individual child." Accordingly:
when a covered operator collects an audio file containing a child's voice solely as a replacement for written words, such as to perform a search or fulfill a verbal instruction or request, but only maintains the file for the brief time necessary for that purpose, the FTC would not take an enforcement action against the operator on the basis that the operator collected the audio file without first obtaining verifiable parental consent.
There are four important limitations on this non-enforcement policy. First, the non-enforcement policy is not applicable when the operator requests information via voice that otherwise would be considered personal information under the COPPA rule, such as a child's name. Second, an operator must provide clear notice of its collection and use of the audio files and its deletion policy in its privacy policy. Third, the operator may not make any other use of the audio file in the brief period before the file is destroyed — for example, for profiling purposes or for posting, selling, or otherwise sharing the file with third parties. Finally, the enforcement policy does not affect the operator's COPPA compliance requirements in any other respect. Thus, the operator must continue to provide notice and obtain verifiable parental consent if types of personal information other than audio files are collected.

Food and wine are indeed a pleasure of life. Just say the words Champagne, caviar or chocolate and a celebration breaks out.
Just like Champagne and caviar, chocolate enhances life. Unlike the other two, chocolate is a hugely popular food and an ingredient that is particularly sought after for its particular flavor. For centuries people have coaxed the diverse flavor elements found in chocolate out to enjoy alone or in harmony with herbs, spices and even bacon.
Forté Chocolates has been working this magic through chocolates and confections since 2006.
With a kitchen and retail shop in Mount Vernon, and another retail shop in Bellingham's historic Fairhaven, Forté's Master Chocolatier and owner, Karen Neugebauer, is a leader in the artisanal chocolate movement. Her small batch, handmade works of art come about through meticulous attention to quality.
Neugebauer's hallmark is her expert skill at tempering chocolate entirely by hand. She has been dubbed "The Tempering Queen" by her peers. Tempering is required to craft chocolate as it cools for optimal quality to ensure optimal sheen on the chocolate, the crisp snap of freshness and the best chocolate flavor. This process can be done by a machine, but to do so by hand is a skill that takes extraordinary patience and practice.
Rebounding from a debilitating injury, Karen decided to do something for herself. She had learned candy-making as a child from her father. Since her husband was a chocoholic, she elected to enter the Pastry Program at the Seattle Art Institute. It was during her first experience with chocolate that she fell in love with the transformation process of tempering. Toward the end of her schooling, she created a sculpture that won bronze from the American Culinary Federation.
In addition to tempering by hand, Chef Neugebauer also has a knack for flavor combinations that range from traditional to cutting edge. Using spice blends, organic herbs and honey Forté Chocolates takes foodies on global adventurers punctuating the chocolatier's astonishing breadth.
Even classic, traditional chocolate bars are creatively stretched by Neugebauer's imagination. The Forté line is exquisite and traditional with pure chocolate bars and the classics such as dark chocolate with orange and espresso in white chocolate. The Gusto line of bars is a culinary dream with enticing chocolate combinations including bacon, Balsamic Vinegar, Fireweed Honey, Lemon & Pepper and Rosemary & Sea Salt.
In addition to the line of bars, Forté handcrafts a full line of truffles, including the favorite Cherry Almond, and creative caramels along with offering sugar and chocolate sculptures.
All this hard work has resulted in more than 100 Gold and Silver awards in the last five years. Forté's Rosemary Caramel recently took an International Gold from the Academy of Chocolate and Orange Jazz received an International Silver from the International Chocolate Awards.
Come sample Forté's delights at the Seattle Wine and Food Experience Sunday, February 21. There will be a limited supply available, pre-orders will be taken.
As a special treat Forté will be showcasing their prized Fortunato No.4 bar. This select bar, crafted from and exotic cacao long thought to be extinct, has been rediscovered in the Peruvian jungles. Forté is one of the few elite chocolate companies in the world entrusted to work with the rare ingredient.

Packs For Kids
The importance of proper nutrition for a growing child is well documented. Hungry kids have decreased attention spans, increased behavioral problems, and more school absences due to sickness. Simply put, hungry kids can't learn as well, and when they fall behind academically as young children, it is very hard to ever catch-up. Free meals in school certainly help, but they are not enough. After all, school is only Monday through Friday.
Through collaboration with eight local Seattle public schools, University District Food Bank provides meals and snacks to children who are at risk of going hungry on the weekend when free or reduced school meals are unavailable. These packs of food contain items that are age-appropriate, nutritious, simple to prepare, and easy to take home in a school bag.
Packs For Kids is a program that succeeds because of the hard work done by our school partners. School staff identify youth for the program and ensure that food gets to them every Friday afternoon. Parent volunteers collect the food from the food bank, take it to the school, and package the food into individualized portions so that it is ready to go. And the food bank works to ensure that all the food we need is available to our partner schools – Roosevelt High School, Eckstein Middle School, Jane Addams Middle School, Hazel Wolf K-8, Olympic View Elementary, Sacajawea Elementary, Sand Point Elementary, Lowell Elementary, the Haring Center, and Middle College High School.
During the 2015-16 school year, we distributed 13,900 packs of food. And these packs made an immediate and positive difference.
"Students seem happier and parents are relieved to have healthy snacks to offer their kids on the weekends," says Margaret Johnson, the school nurse at Olympic View.
A teacher remarked about a student receiving a Packs for Kids bag, "he has more stamina in taking on challenging assignments and his grades have improved significantly."

Video: Bastille - Good Grief
Seriously, what the heck is this all about?
Frontman Dan Smith tried to describe the above chaos in a press release, saying: "[It] takes a load of archetypal narrative scenarios and then twists and collides them together. We wanted to make something fun and chaotic and surreal that would serve as a fittingly odd accompaniment to the song."
He also described it as a "mad visual Rubik's Cube," which sounds great but means nothing.
Nice tune, though.

On a Budget | Co-washingRead Now
On a Budget | Co-washing
Alright ladies and gents!
Co-washing sounds simple enough: wet hair, apply conditioner, massage scalp and rinse. Repeat once more.
However, many ladies tend to do this on a very regular basis....everyday or every other day!Another thing some ladies do is use different conditioners for the first and second (maybe even third) rinse!
As you can guess, this can become VERY expensive!
My simple advice is this: save money by using cheap conditioners that work for your hair.
How do you know they work?

Beer Cheez-It Muffins
Thursday, April 11, 2013
If it were up to me, Cheez-Its would be a food group all on their own. There is no better snack than a box of Cheez-Its (Cheetos are a close second). That said, you need to make these muffins ASAP!
I was in need of a quick bread last weekend and decided to make some easy beer cheese muffins. I starting thinking about what else I could add to them to give them a little more pizzazz. Aha! Cheez-Its! I crushed up some Cheez-Its and baked them right on top of the muffins for a nice crunch.
These were ridiculously good, especially slathered in honey butter. This made 18 regular sized muffins. I am going to make mini muffins next time. These muffins are the perfect accompaniment to a bowl of chili or soup. Give these a try when you need something quick and delicious!
Beer Cheez-It Muffins
18 muffins
(Printable Recipe)
1 (12-oz.) bottle beer, at room temperature
2 large eggs
1/2 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
4 cups all-purpose baking mix
2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
1 cup crushed bite-size Cheez-Its
Preheat oven to 400°.
Stir together first 6 ingredients. Spoon batter into lightly greased 12-cup muffin pans, filling three-fourths full. Sprinkle with crushed Cheez-Its.
Bake for 13 to 15 minutes or until lightly browned.

Wow, very different! I'll have to give these a try. I'm sure my fiance will love them, as he is a Cheez-ItAholic!ReplyDelete
How incredibly creative! Must try these!ReplyDelete
YUM!!! These sound amazing, and I don't think I've seen a recipe quite like this before! We will look forward to trying these out someday soon!!ReplyDelete
Is "All Purpose Baking Mix" like Bisquik?ReplyDelete
Love this ... and I vote for making Cheez-its and Cheetos a food group. Too funny.ReplyDelete
I second Lea Ann's motion.ReplyDelete
Okay - love the thought of making these two items their own food group but probably the minority on this next thought...I do not like the taste of beer - at all. Can I substitute another liquid for the beer or do you think I need the yeast in the beer to help the texture of the rolls?ReplyDelete

I'm proud to announce a new twitter collaborative project with @mathsjem. (Creator and Curator of the brilliant resourceaholic.com )
We've been thinking about the power of social media (specifically for us, twitter) and how useful it is both to network and to share ideas. I've wanted to evolve the collaborative efforts made possible by Twitter for a while, and bounced some ideas around. And so #mathsTLP was created.
#mathsTLP will run on Sunday evenings from 7 until 8pm (GMT). The basic premise is this: If you have an imminent lesson you are struggling to find / create resources for, write us a tweet in that time frame and we (along with YOU, twitter people) will collaboratively throw around ideas and links until we have the outline of what we consider a good set of activities pulled together. Once the hour is up, I'll collate the ideas and lessons onto a post here (within, say, 20 mins) and post the link out. Hey Presto! We've planned a lesson (most likely a few lessons) collaboratively through social media!
Just to avoid any misconceptions, this isn't the "Ed & Jo Will Plan Your Lesson" show, it will only work if there's a collaborative GROUP working… erm… collaboratively. I think I've used that word enough now.
Hope to see you there, and I hope it's a success.

Hundreds of thousands of Americans are using medical marijuana to treat symptoms of depression each day, but the search for the right strain is often a very personal one.
Cell and animal studies, as well as limited human studies and countless anecdotal reports, show the molecules in cannabis can interact with the human nervous system to cause feelings of well-being.
Since cannabis reproduces sexually, breeders have created hundreds of varieties, called strains, and exactly which strains are best for depression requires human clinical trials impossible under current federal policy. But the U.S.' 2.2 million medical pot patients are conducting trials of their own and sharing the info among allies, collectives, budtenders and on sites such as Leafly.com and StickyGuide.com.
Below, Smell the Truth presents some of the best strains for depression, as reported by patients.
Amnesia Haze, Lamb's Bread, Green Crack, Sour Diesel, Sweet Island Skunk, Super Lemon Haze, Juicy Fruit, Cherry Ak-47, JAck Herer, Trainwreck, Super Silve Haze

Indexed Annuities
An indexed annuity is one that earns interest or provides benefits that are linked to an external reference. One of the most commonly used indices is the S&P 500. The value of any index varies from day to day and is not predictable.
When you buy an indexed annuity, you own an insurance contract. You are not buying shares of any stock.
An indexed annuity is a fixed annuity, but it's different from other fixed annuities because of the way it credits interest to your annuity's value. Some fixed annuities only credit interest calculated at a rate set in the contract. Other fixed annuities also credit interest at rates set from time to time by the insurance company. Indexed annuities credit interest using a formula based on changes in the index it's linked to. How much interest you get and when you get it depends on the features of your particular annuity.
Your indexed annuity, like other fixed annuities, also promises to pay a minimum interest rate, even if the index-linked interest rate performs lower. The value of your annuity also never drop below a guaranteed minimum.

Radical Difference: A Defence of Hendrik Kraemer's Theology of Religions (Editions SR)
It is commonly assumed that all religions are essentially alike, that they are all common members of the genus Religion. But what if religions are not fundamentally similar after all? What if, on the contrary, it is better to presuppose a radical difference among the world s various religious communities, with each faith being defined by different beliefs, different practices, different world views, and different ways of life?
Radical Difference: A Defence of Hendrik Kraemer s Theology of Religions explores the implications of this presupposition by examining the pioneering work of Dutch Reformed theologian and missionary Hendrik Kraemer. Perry shows that a critical reappropriation of Kraemer by contemporary Christian theology of religions can only help those Christians, especially evangelical Protestants, who find themselves equally unsatisfied with the various pluralisms and traditional responses, whether optimistic or skeptical, currently available.
Increased global migration and technological advances have brought us closer together than ever before. At the same time, ethnic, cultural and religious tensions throughout the world have awakened us to issues of interreligious tolerance and cooperation. This book recognizes and addresses the impact differing religious beliefs, practices and world views have on our lives.

The month of March has been a very special time of the year for me since many years. Apart from my late father's birthday, this month also marks the arrival of International women's day & Mother's Day. For me it's a very exciting time, almost as celebratory & festive as Christmas, Eid, New Year or any other festival for that matter. Almost a decade ago, I started marking this occasion by celebrating special events for women at the company I worked for. I organized these events as I felt the need to do something exclusively for women as- at that point in time, most of our company initiatives; sports tournaments or concerts were more male dominated or let's just say less inclusive for women. The first year's theme was Stress Management and I called the program De-Stress & Revitalize. It became a popular annual program for working women at our company and we continued to run it year after year. When I moved to Dubai and started my own training & consultancy practice, I carried forward the tradition of women's day celebrations and held annual events at many companies, sometimes even at beaches and parks. Each year we followed different theme and taglines. Apart from stress Management, we covered topics like Emotional Intelligence, Women in Leadership & Women Empowerment. As a trainer and coach, I loved providing value by facilitating the growth of the participants and helping these women overcome personal & professional challenges.
When I moved to London, I was aware that apart from setting up my business from scratch, another challenge that I may have to face will be regarding my religion and background. Being an Asian Muslim woman, working as an immigrant on a foreign land would not be easy and expose me to many limitations and prejudices. To my surprise I found out, that it's not just me or in London alone. Women worldwide are facing a plethora of prejudices, limitations, and stereotypes. In my Interview for Women Killing It I discuss this in more detail. Yes, being an Asian Muslim woman, I have to face more stereotypes and biases as compared to women belonging to other ethnicities; biases that are attached to women from my faith and background alone; wherein many people unknowingly hold the common misconception that we are are backward, degraded and suppressed. (When in reality, innumerable examples can be quoted of women from my faith and background doing brilliantly both as entrepreneurs and as working professionals.) However, on the whole, the rest of the challenges for all of us across the globe remain universal. Having trained and coached women from three different countries, I realized that no matter who we are and from where we belong, women inclusiveness is a goal even the most progressive countries are still struggling with. And that's when I pledged to play my part. I along with a group of coaches from Dubai, Pakistan, and London launched a global training & mentoring network called Revitalize and Rise which aims to provide voluntary help and support to women that seek help in advancing their careers, resuming work or starting their own businesses.
According to a report published by Ernst & Young, gender parity (meaning an equal number of men and women) at work will take another 170 years, 5 months and 2 weeks. Whether that goal is even realistic is another question. Though I am a feminist who strongly advocates the idea of women inclusiveness and equality, I feel the latter goal also needs to take into account that no matter what, many women will always put family ahead of career and choose to opt out of the stressful life that usually comes with being on the top. And these preferences might make achieving the gender parity goal more tricky than it seems. On the other hand, the 21st century has witnessed an explosive growth in women owned businesses and research has evidenced staggering results of how these businesses have contributed to the economy in many countries. So perhaps, instead of achieving gender parity in top positions, the goal should then be to achieve parity in number of men and women contributing in a given economy be it via working for self or working for others? Having said that, whether women pursue top positions or opt to run their own show they must be supported in all ways and that means not only providing women equal opportunities in terms of advancement and remuneration but also providing a conducive and flexible environment especially to those that that are juggling home and work life simultaneously. And I did that by supporting this year's theme for International Women's Day which was #Beboldforchange. The website encourages men, women and non-binary people to take bold and pragmatic action to accelerate gender parity. To support the above themes and play my part in Taking Back Feminism I supported many initiatives which included the following
- Offered complimentary coaching & mentoring sessions to women desirous of professional guidance in their lives.
- Supported a Teens Girl Empowerment Conference in London
- This month, I also released my Stress Management Video filmed by Enterprise Tap and based on my article published earlier in the Huffington Post and Ellevate Network called 11 Revitalizing Stress-Busters for Working Women
- Attended the Women of the World Conference where I volunteered to support several non profit organizations that are working towards the betterment and advancement of less privileged women out there especially the refugees.
- Wrote several blogs to support and empower women better
- Plan to organize an event in April for over 100 women called Revitalize and Rise IWD's Special with the objective of helping women make positive and bold changes in their lives through de-stressing, revitalizing and reenergizing.
My call to action is based on an article I wrote earlier for Women Marches. Dear Girls, We Have Your Back and which was originally published by Ellevate Network as well.
I urge all those who are genuinely interested in being bold for change and in taking back feminism to pledge to support and inspire women world over just the way they are; Feminism is not only about equality between men and women but also equality amongst women themselves. It's about looking at ALL women in the same way and not treating some more specially and favorably or otherwise on the basis of what they look or believe in. Whether they cover their head or not, whether they belong to this side of the wall or the other, whether they are born in your country or have immigrated, whether their skin color is different from yours or not, it shouldn't matter. Believe and champion the rights of every girl irrespective of where she is from, what she wears and what she looks like. After all, we are in this together!
My own #boldforchange actions entail ensuring equal opportunity of advancement for all women, irrespective of who they are, where they come from, what they look like, what they wear or what they believe in. I am a Muslim. I am an Asian with brown skin. I am an immigrant working in a foreign land. I am a woman. I am a mom. And, I am proud to be all of these. I wouldn't let any of these be a cause of prejudice or racism. Being these will not stop me from realizing my dreams. I believe we must rise above ethnicities, backgrounds, and beliefs and promote advancement for all women. Read How (you can overcome feelings of self-doubt or lack of confidence in this regard) I will not allow myself to be labelled or treated differently. March is long gone but let's continue being bold for change for ourselves and for others, shall we?

More than twice as many people are in favour of the idea of a national poll on the question as are against, it found.
It comes amid claims that David Cameron is drawing up plans to fast-track a bill to change the marriage laws through Parliament in the New Year.
Mr Cameron is said to be keen to get a bill through the Commons well before the next election to prevent it becoming a complication.
But ComRes poll, commissioned by the Coalition For Marriage, which campaigns against legalising same-sex marriage, suggests widespread public scepticism about trusting politicians to make the final decision.
In total 54 per cent agreed with the statement that "given the controversy over legalising same-sex marriage it should be decided by a national referendum and not just a House of Commons vote." Of those 23 per cent agreed strongly.
By contrast only 26 per cent of those questioned opposed a referendum including nine per cent strongly.
Support for a referendum straddled party political boundaries, with 53 per cent of both likely Conservative and Liberal Democrats voters and 56 per cent of Labour supporters were in favour.
Women were marginally more enthusiastic about a referendum than men (55 per cent against 53 per cent).
Support was relatively constant across all age groups except those over 65 who were even more strongly in favour.
In the recent US general election three states – Maine, Maryland and Washington – voted to approve same-sex marriage in local referendums.
Meanwhile voters in Minnesota rejected an attempt to define marriage in the state constitution as being between one man and one woman.
David Burrowes, the Conservative MP, first called for a referendum on the issue last year but the polling is the first to gauge public opinion on whether one could be justified.
Mr Burrowes, a practising Christian who opposes the change, said that given the issue was not canvassed in most parties' election manifestos there are questions over whether MPs have a mandate to make such a decision.
"I wouldn't want to throw referendums around like confetti," he said.
"But this is a classic issue where it should not be left to politicians without a mandate to go ahead.
"That is an issue of such fundamental importance, it will affect how society is built, but also has constitutional implications – we are not just dealing with a civil institution that the state can deal with, it is one which has a relationship wit the Church and others."
The results of a massive consultation exercise are due to be published next month. It is thought likely that there would be a draft bill published then or shortly afterwards.
One option would be to put the bill before a joint committee of MPs and peers to scrutinise before being brought forward formally.
Colin Hart, campaign director of the Coalition for Marriage, said "Voters want this, because these ordinary men and women have never been able to cast a vote on the issue as neither the Conservatives, Lib Dems, or Labour included this proposal in their manifestos and they are fed up with being told it is going to happen regardless of what the majority of people in this country believe.
"The Government's policy day by day is unravelling."

The couple is also owners of North End Investments, LLC and Nelligan Hall, a 4,000 sq. ft. historic social club in Portland that currently houses an art studio complex. The goal of The Mammoth is to build a sustainable co-op space for the creative class in Louisville to utilize as they see fit, including as a residence if necessary.

If the change is only to clarify or beautify the articulation of the same purpose, then it isn't a Big Deal. You will need to check with a wide range of stakeholders about how your changes are interpreted, even if you don't think you are changing the purpose one iota. If, on the other hand,… click to continue reading
Mission and Purpose
Mission is the purpose of the organization, articulating the highest ideal and longest view for which the organization was created.
There are two aspects of mission for organizations in the social sector:
- Social change to address the underlying causes of a social issue, or inspire a higher ideal in society
- Providing services to alleviate social issues and/or improve society
For organizations which seek social change, their missions are fulfilled when society has changed permanently to resolve the issue or attain the higher ideal. The organization takes an active role in changing society so that the mission can be satisfied.
For example, a mission to end food insecurity in a town is fulfilled when there is a systemic, sustainable solution to food insecurity in that town that is independent of the organization.
Many social change organizations also provide services to alleviate suffering and difficulty until the underlying social change can be achieved. This duality creates the most difficult mission to lead and manage.
For organizations which deliver services, their missions are fulfilled when the services become no longer necessary. This can be caused by other institutions taking on the responsibility for delivering the services.
For example, a mission to alleviate food insecurity in a town could be fulfilled by government, church networks, grocery wholesalers, etc. stepping in to provide sustained access to high quality food.
Often, organizations with service based missions will bring attention to social issues that build support for social change organizations efforts to change society. There can be a symbiotic relationship.
In all cases, Mission is the reason to exist, to acquire and use resources, to come to work every day.
All activity, for every employee, volunteer, and contractor, should be traceable back to the mission.

About the Group
Littlefield has had a patient participation group (PPG) for many years now and we are always looking for new members.
Patient participation can benefit both patients and practices. Having a PPG creates a connection between the practice and its patients; allowing open, constructive discussion and analysis of service provision and offering an alternative perspective on many of the topics relevant to general practice.
A PPG is a mechanism which at different times can represent the patient population to the practice and the practice to the wider community. PPGs can help the practice to account for its provision of healthcare through various mechanisms, with the outcomes being used to improve the quality and level of healthcare services and facilities.
PPGs can give you an involvement with your practice and could give you a say in the workings of the Care Trust. These are some examples of what the group could be expected to be involved with:
If you think you would like to be part of our Group and be able to influence the future of your healthcare provision or would like more information about our PPG, please join us in one of our sessions. We meet bi-monthly on the 3rd Tuesday of every odd month

American Student Dental Association (ASDA)
Established in 1971, the American Student Dental Association has addressed the needs of dental students nationwide for almost 30 years. It is the nation's largest organization of dental students with a membership that boasts about 86% of all students. ASDA enjoys a close, fraternal relationship with the ADA yet maintains a political and financial autonomy; it is an association administered by and for the students.
Mission Statement
The American Student Dental Association is a national student-run organizations that protects and advances the rights, interests and welfare of dental students. It introduces students to lifelong involvement in organized dentistry and provides services, information, education, representation and advocacy.
Our vision is to employ camaraderie and collaboration to influence UF ASDA members and peers to engage in organized dentistry and leave a positive footprint on our school, community, and profession.
About Us
The ASDA's governing body has a national president, two vice-presidents, ten trustees from the ten national regions and twelve consultants who represent students on the education, hospitals, insurance, legislation, minority affairs, national board examinations, practice management and public health committees, to name but a few. These same consultants represent ASDA on the corresponding councils of the ADA. The House of Delegates is made up of two students from each school, the ASDA president and president-elect. These two delegates hold a voting seat at the national convention where the issues of importance are decided.
It has 20,000 members nationwide (1,000 are pre-dentals) and a chapter at each of the 65 U.S. dental schools.
