The Full 90
U.S. women tie Sweden 1-1 in friendly
OMAHA, Nebraska (AP) — Sweden held the United States to a 1-1 draw in a women's football friendly Tuesday.
The U.S. had the better of the game, with 18 shots to 8, including 11-3 in the first half, but could not capitalize on its chances.
It took until the 44th minute for the Americans to take the lead when Amy Rodriguez cut between the goalkeeper and a defender to get on the end of an Abby Wambach through-ball and shoot over the keeper and into a corner of the net.
"We had a lot of chances in the first half," U.S. forward Abby Wambach said. "Now we're kicking ourselves for not putting them away."
Heather O'Reilly shot wide from close range just before the break, and Rodriguez put two headers onto the crossbar in the second half.
The first of those led to Sweden's equalizer. The ball remained in play after the shot, and Stina Segerstrom sent a pass from midfield over the top of the U.S. defense to a streaking Linda Forsberg, who beat keeper Nicole Barnhart for the equalizer.
The goal ended a run of nine consecutive clean sheets in home internationals for the Americans.
"Our first half, we did well," said American coach Pia Sundhage, a native of Sweden. "In the second half, we lost a little bit."
The teams will meet again in East Hartford, Connecticut, on Saturday.

Work Step by Step
For example, consider a red-hot iron nail thrown into a swimming pool. The iron's change in temperature is much larger than the water's. In general, if heat flows from one to the other, the amount of temperature change will be the same only if the product of mass m and specific heat capacity c is the same. This can be seem from the equation $Q = cm\Delta T$. One example of when this might happen is when both objects are the same mass, and composed of the same material.

In "Machine Vision Seekers" a fictional script is projected. The story, a kind of science-fiction emigration, is situated in the dark. Some people are walking along a corridor underneath the earth surface to reach their original point of departure. The text toys around with the visualisation of words, which describe the invisible pictures in the dark. The words are literally thrown onto the wall by a moving projector. That partly aggressive act is also a reference to the blindness of the protagonists in the text and to the several layers in the storyline (in the sense that the projector is abandoning the two-dimensional screen). "Machine Vision Seekers" shifts between the projector and the viewer, a deconstructed screening where all parts, visible and non-visible are interlinked. It is a conversation between the projection apparatus, the setting in the room, the spectator, the film itself and the plot, a structure which is inherent in every aspect of the installation and which has to be deciphered by the viewer.

The Public Sector and Financing Transit-Oriented Development
A few months ago, a colleague — and friend to RenewLV — forwarded a great post from Streetsblog on a transit-oriented development case study from the Portland area. The story concerns the leadership of Metro (Portland's regional metro government) in pushing for mixed-use, high-density development in a suburban area along Portland's light-rail line. This was a development that, before Metro intervened, was slated for low-density retail amid a huge parking lot.
The major hurdle faced by Metro in pulling off this TOD project was arranging for financing. Lenders were slow to embrace the project, Streetsblog notes, because they were unfamiliar with the TOD concept and had little or no prior experience in financing similar developments.
Why do lenders balk at development that reduces car dependence? In a word, inertia. "The lending industry appears to be very conservative, if your definition of conservative is doing the same thing this year as you did five years ago," said David Goldstein, the co-director of the Natural Resources Defense Council's energy program and an expert on environmental real estate financing. Because banks have no institutional memory of lending to transit-oriented development, they are reluctant to do so going forward.
In addition to doing some education of lenders as to the fact that TOD can work, Metro placed a major emphasis on public/private partnerships (or so-called P3s), a concept that's getting a lot of play in the debate on funding transportation here in Pennsylvania. For example, Metro provided upfront incentives for developers, a move that reduced lenders' risk while also showing lenders and developers that Metro was committed to smart growth. Metro's advocacy and financial support for this project — the Crossings at Gresham — resulted in an award-winning development (though, as Streetsblog notes, Metro continues to face the challenge of making lenders and developers comfortable with walkable, mixed-use projects).
In part, the case of the Crossings shows how public-sector support can foster private-sector involvement in walkable development. In addressing the need to adequately — and appropriately — fund transportation, Pennsylvania should look at how state and local policies can create these types of joint-financing arrangements. Too often here in Pennsylvania, the term "P3" is used rather narrowly, to refer to privatization or leasing of toll roads. As our communities look at ways to support transportation projects, especially innovative approaches to linking transit and walkable development, it will be critical to consider the full range of ways that public-sector leadership can encourage innovative, forward-thinking projects.

Two thoughts, Steven:
You're right about public-private partnerships in PA — they all seem to be about either privatizing public infrastructure or the even simpler approach of giving tax breaks to developers and then calling it a partnership. [Aren't partners supposed to share the profits?]
The other big point you raised is that Portland has regional governance [as do several other metro areas that are thinking progressively]. But I don't attribute the progressive leadership to regional government — I think they have regional government because they had progressive leadership.
Here in PA, though, I think it's all too likely that we would see the worst of both approaches. Regional government might work more like the state government which seems to concentrate mostly on preserving itself and use our tax dollars to create more of those one-sided 'partnerships'. There are some who say the Constitution needs to be amended, but that won't help much if the elected officials ignore the Constitution, which seems to be the well-documented norm in PA.
We need elected officials who will live up to their oaths of office and do what's right for the people of PA instead of for corporate interests.

"GENTLY slap the breasts into submission" and "let it marinate in the fridge until the chicken is begging you for it" are not the usual instructions you've find in your average cookbook.
But then again, Fifty Shades Of Chicken, is not your usual recipe bible.
The parody cookbook, written by ghost writer "FL Fowler," aims to repurpose the language of the erotica novel Fifty Shades of Grey throughout fifty chicken dishes and an accompanying story.
Recipes include Dripping Thighs, Mustard-Spanked Chicken, Learning to Truss You, and Chicken with a Lardon.
And despite its suggestive overtones, apparently it's pretty good.
"It manages to skewer (pun intended) the kinky romance but also create a food love story of its own, told between recipes," writes Rachel Kramer Bussel on Buzzfeed, "which is amusing and appetising by equal measures."
A story of a young free-range Miss Chicken - who like Anastasia Steele, finds herself at the mercy of a dominating, kinky and ravenous chef - is woven in between recipes.
"Before long, from unbearably slow drizzling to trussing, Miss Chicken discovers the sheer thrill of becoming the main course," the book's synopsis reads.
The author said she was inspired to write the cook book after reading the trilogy.
"It evoked something I'd never been able to express," Fowler told People. "Then one day as I was tying up the ankles of a chicken for roasting, I realised why some of the scenes in the book were so strikingly familiar. It turns out I've been practicing BDSM for years – but with poultry."
The book was released on November 13 and is available from Random House and Amazon online.
Watch the hilarious trailer for the book below:

Uninsured Motorist Lawyer
Each year in Missouri, thousands of people are in car accidents involving an uninsured motorist.
Missouri law requires all drivers to have auto insurance. However, according to the Insurance Information Institute, in 2015 13% of motorists were uninsured. The percentage of uninsured motorists has been rising since it hit a record low of 12.3% in 2010.
Each year, thousands of Missouri drivers are involved in auto accidents with drivers who have failed to maintain the required automobile insurance. The result is unpaid damage claims and higher insurance premium rates for all Missouri drivers.
The minimum requirement of liability insurance in Missouri is as follows:
- $25,000/person for bodily injury
- $50,000/accident for bodily injury
- $10,000/accident for property
If you have been in an accident with a driver who does not have insurance, report it immediately. Many insurance companies require an accident report to be filed within 24 hours of the accident.
Uninsured Motorist Accidents
An uninsured motorist is a person that continues to drive but does not maintain insurance on their vehicle. There are thousands of uninsured motorists in Missouri. An uninsured motorist is at risk of losing their license but there is not currently an effective program to make a person maintain insurance on their vehicle.
If you are involved in an auto accident with an uninsured driver, your claim for vehicle damage and medical bills is filed with your insurance company. This is referred to as an uninsured motorist claim.
If you have an auto liability policy you should also have uninsured motorist coverage. This type of coverage compensates you and your passengers for injuries you sustain as a result of a car accident involving an uninsured motorist. It also compensates you if you're involved in an accident with a vehicle that can't be identified, such as in a hit-and-run accident. If you are involved in either type of accident, you need to report it immediately. Many insurance companies require a report to be filed within 24 hours of the accident.
Underinsured Motorist Accidents
Sometimes when people want to reduce their monthly expenses, they cut back on their car insurance, opting for only minimum coverage. However, this can result in being underinsured and that can be a problem for you.
If you are involved in an accident with an underinsured driver, they may simply not have enough insurance coverage to cover your vehicle damage repair costs and your hospital or medical bills.
Who will pay for your injuries if you are a victim of an uninsured driver car accident?
Buying liability insurance attracts a hefty price tag. Hence, there are uninsured motorists on the road to be aware of. Unfortunately, if you have a car accident with an uninsured driver, what avenue should you turn to for compensation of your bodily injuries? The answer lies in your own insurance policy under the Uninsured Motorist (UM) Coverage.
What Vehicle Damage is Compensated Under UM Coverage?
You must read the fine print of your UM coverage and if vehicle damage cover for such cases is specified, you may receive compensation for your vehicle damage. If vehicle damage is not included in the uninsured motorist coverage, it may be included in the collision cover. According to Missouri car accident attorneys, when the vehicle damage is not covered under either section, you may have to pay from your pocket for the repairs undertaken.
Who Are Eligible For UM Coverage From Your Insurance Policy?
The upper limit for compensation for uninsured motorist coverage will be specified in your policy and may be applicable in case of injuries caused to the following people:
- When you are injured while driving or riding in a car that has been named in your policy, or any other car that is not owned by you or while being a pedestrian.
- A relative who lives with you gets injured while driving or riding in a car that has been named in the policy.
- Any other person who is driving or riding in your car, with your permission, that has been named in the insurance policy.
- Any other person riding in a car not owned by you while you are driving it.
When and How Much Compensation May You Receive?
There are some policies that include compensation for hit-and-run accidents. This clause is applicable only when your car is actually hit and damaged or you have received bodily injuries. There are certain policies in which compensation is granted for hit-and-run accidents only when you are able to identify the driver and the vehicle.
If you get injured while at work, you are eligible for workers' compensation and disability benefits. You may also get compensated for your medical expenses by your insurance company under medical payments coverage. Hence, your UM compensation may be reduced by the same amount in these cases.
In case you or a relative are riding in another person's car and are injured in an accident caused by an uninsured motorist, the other person's UM coverage will be the primary one for claiming compensation and yours will be the second one. Your UM coverage will only pay for the bodily damages sustained by you which have not been compensated by the primary policy.

If you or a family member has been injured by a driver who does not have insurance, contact The Hoffmann Law Firm, L.L.C. to schedule a free consultation. We focus our law practice exclusively on handling accident injury cases. With more than 20 years of experience, no case is too complex for attorney Christopher Hoffmann.

Venture capital activity that surged during the first three months of 2011 continued to rise through the second quarter, as funding for Internet startups soared by 69 percent over the same quarter last year, according to CB Insights, a New York information and data services firm.
In its quarterly venture capital activity report, CB Insights says U.S. venture firms invested $7.6 billion in 768 startups throughout the country during the second quarter ending June 30. It was a nine-quarter high point for both dollars and deals, and represented a 54 percent increase (from $5.9 billion) in capital, and a 25 percent gain in deals (from 612), compared with the same quarter in 2010. VC activity during the quarter even showed a slight increase over the first quarter of 2011, which recalled a pre-recessionary era as VCs pumped $7.5 billion into 738 startups nationwide.
If the current pace of venture funding continues, the U.S. could reach between $29 billion and $30 billion in total capital invested this year. "Of course, some of the punditry have suggested that the VC asset class' 'right size' is around $25 billion," the report says, "so it will be interesting to see if the momentum of Q1 and Q2 continues or if we're in for a second half swoon."
I'm expecting to get a more-detailed regional breakdown on venture activity next week, when the rival MoneyTree and Dow Jones VentureSource surveys will help triangulate VC trends. In the meantime, here are some highlights of the nationwide data being released today by CB Insights:
—Internet startups represented the busiest sector of venture activity during the second quarter, with VCs investing $2.74 billion (or 36 percent of all dollars) in 298 startups (39 percent of all deals). The capital flowing to Internet deals marked a 69 percent jump over the second quarter of 2010, when VCs invested nearly $1.62 billion in 233 Web startups.
—By almost every measure, VC activity in cleantech declined during the second quarter. The $781 million invested was a 25 percent drop from the $1.046 billion invested during the same quarter of 2010, but the 65 cleantech deals represented an 18 percent increase over the 55 deals from the same quarter last year. Cleantech also fell sharply compared with the previous quarter, which was a high water mark with more than $1.9 billion going into 86 deals.
—Healthcare investments showed new signs of life, with $1.9 billion invested in 147 startups during the second quarter. That's the most capital to be invested in healthcare for at least a year. During the same quarter in 2010, VCs invested over $1.6 billion in 138 healthcare deals. In the first quarter of 2011, VCs invested almost $1.6 million in 150 deals.
—One of the most noticeable trends is a contraction of most venture activity into three states—California, Massachusetts, and New York—where the gravitational pull of innovation clusters and venture capital landed over 60 percent of the deals and more than 75 percent of the funding during the three months that ended June 30.
—California, as usual, accounted for the single biggest slice of venture capital funding, with nearly $3.66 billion (almost half of the nationwide total) invested in 336 deals. VC investments in Internet companies and healthcare together accounted for 58 percent of the state's deals and 56 percent of the funding. The Golden State's endless summer of venture activity apparently inspired the analysts at CB Insights to observe, "I wish they all could be California deals."
—In Massachusetts, venture investors sank more than $1.1 billion in 89 deals statewide, marking a five-quarter high in both deals and dollars. In comparison to the same quarter in 2010, it was a nearly 66 percent gain in dollars (up from $689 million) and a 6 percent increase in deals (from 84).
—In New York, $539 million was invested in 61 deals. It was a nearly 52 percent rise in dollars (from $355 million) compared with the same quarter last year and a 27 percent increase in deals (from 48).
—The percentage of seed stage deals nationwide climbed to 12 percent, which was a five-quarter high for the earliest stage category of venture funding. The strengthening trend of seed stage deals remained steady across the Internet, healthcare, and cleantech sectors, but the overall amount of VC funding for early stage companies dipped to a five-quarter low, primarily due to a dearth of Series A deals.

Fact check yourself/
My sister and I always tell the Chipmunk Story.
"It's a fucking funny story," she told me during a phone call this year. "It kills at parties. Also, it's a good ice breaker — ha! — because the chipmunk was frozen."
We lived at the bottom of three hills just outside Reading, separated from a college in the city by a thin strip of woods. Picture this slab of cement outside our row home. The sun spotlighted an orange tabby and a chipmunk. When I set the scene in my mind, I stand in shadow just ahead of the front door. The cat, farthest from me, has raised hackles. Zoom in on the chipmunk's harried eyes. The chase is off like wind-up toys.
I stuck my hand into the fray to rescue the chipmunk — who promptly sunk his teeth into my thumb. He definitely misread my heroics. I think I flung the chipmunk down on instinct — I must have, right? — before hurrying to scoop it back up. Somehow, though I don't remember the mechanics, the chipmunk ended up inside. My mom put it in a green Tupperware. She worried about rabies. She wanted to freeze the chipmunk and take it to work where the lab could run a blood test.
My sister and I were horrified. We spent the majority of our young lives crafting presentations on why our parents should allow us a hamster, after it became clear we weren't gaining ground on the dog issue.
So we hatched a plan.
The second mom left the kitchen, we pulled the container from the freezer. I thought we opened the lid and the chipmunk darted across the stovetop. We had to scramble to collect it before our mom realized we'd liberated it. My sister doesn't remember that part.
She said we took the Tupperware to the room we shared upstairs, removed the lid and tried to feed cheese to the chipmunk. I don't remember that part.
My sister also said she pictured a plain black cat at the beginning.
"I feel like I just put that in there," she said.
Later, some light Googling of "Green Tupperware 1990s" yields images that don't look like the bowl I imagine.
Our story was starting to unravel.
We both agreed that when the tests came back, they showed the chipmunk had a clean bill of health — no rabies.
Normally that's the punchline, like, Hey guys, isn't it ironic that in an attempt to save the life of a chipmunk, we actually caused its demise? Looking back, it's a pretty morbid story. I'm surprised we usually got more laughs than dropped jaws. Or maybe I just forgot about those bad reactions.
But the funnier part, almost two decades later, is where our stories diverged. Why did it happen? My sister and I couldn't figure it out. I guess we supplied specifics where our minds failed us.
Incidentally, I asked my dad if he remembered the Chipmunk Story.
"Yes, I remember it very well," he said. "But you're going to love this twist."
When my dad pictures the chipmunk, he said he clearly sees mom putting it in the freezer in the kitchen we had after we moved to Texas.

2. Unable to identify patient due to incorrect name or ID number: If your insurance company knows you as "Robert," and you go by "Bob." Insurance companies are unable to identify you when the name and ID number on the claim are not an exact match with the name and ID number listed on the insurance card.
3. Coinsurance, co-payment or deductible: This is the amount due from you as determined by your insurance plan. Please review your policy. Deductibles must be paid before the insurance company will begin to make payments. Sometimes the laboratory claim reaches the insurance company before the doctor or facilty claim.

A legacy lives on
Swedish massage is a popular misnomer that keeps on hanging around as the terminology has been universally adopted.
The term Swedish massage applies because of a Swedish Professor, Pehr Henrik Ling (15 November 1776, Södra Ljunga – 3 May 1839) who was a Swedish physical therapist, developer and teacher of medical-gymnastics. He made a comprehensive scientific study of massage and laid the foundations for what is now taught and practised as 'Swedish massage.
This is not so much that the techniques were not used in other countries, but that he gave names to the techniques of touching another body and defined their effects. These techniques were effleurage (long, gliding strokes), petrissage (lifting and kneading the muscles), friction (firm, deep, circular rubbing movements), tapotement (brisk tapping or percussive movements), and vibration (rapidly shaking or vibrating specific muscles).
The term Swedish massage can be applied to any soft-tissue massage in any country as these movements are the basis for performing all massage that involves rubbing the body and are used in all massage styles.

The idea of starting this blog was created by seeing the movie "Julie and Julia", one of the last days I spent with my beloved Brian in America. We got the advice to go and see this movie with Meryl Streep as one of the leading characters from Robert, a very nice manger at the hotel where we stayed. So there we went, but unfortunately the movie was not shown at that hour. We decided to see another movie with Bruce Willis and bought the tickets. But as we got them, there seemed to be a misunderstanding about the time of showing the film. We got the advice to be back some later and so we did. As we returned, we were called by microphone to the ticket centre and received free tickets as an excuse. They informed us wrong and we had to wait for another half hour.
Well, we are both very flexible and because we live from moment to moment and decide to feel good whatever may happen, we only felt very blessed by receiving the free tickets and decided to go to "Julie and Julia" in the next town we would visit: Andover. So we did. We enjoyed our extra film gift extremely and both had the same idea watching this movie: We would make our own blog! We started this blog with the idea Brian already described and both of us will share our life together. Loving, caring, laughing and sharing everything we think is useful to tell. And that is a lot! Each day a new blog, which we started with one idea: Find Real Love!!!

At South Wootton Junior School, our PSHE lessons follow the PATHS® curriculum; a comprehensive program that promotes emotional and social competencies. The PATHS® model is designed to be integrated throughout the whole curriculum including writing, reading and listening skills. We believe that effective PSHE lessons reduce aggression and behaviour problems while simultaneously enhancing the educational process in the classroom.
The PATHS® curriculum is taught through assemblies, weekly lessons and behaviour recovery. All staff including teaching assistants and midday supervisory assistants use PATHS strategies to facilitate the childrens' emotional literacy, self-control, social competence, positive peer relations and interpersonal problem-solving skills. A key objective of promoting these developmental skills is to prevent or reduce behavioural and emotional problems.
Every child gets the opportunity to be PATHS® Pupil of the Day. This is a regular activity which builds self-esteem by receiving compliments from classmates, teachers and friends. Children really enjoy this activity and develop the important skill of being able to compliment themselves. Please look out for your child's compliment certificate and add a compliment of your own. The compliments received are then celebrated in class the next day.

Wart and Skin Tag Removal Is a Task for a Professional
Warts are small benign skin growths looking like a solid blister of thick skin. Warts are caused by infection. Genital warts and common warts have the same nature and caused by the same virus. The virus's incubation period lasts from 2 to 5 months.
You shouldn't use traditional folk self-care methods or friends' advices. The price you will pay may become excessive due to the hazard to health these methods can cause.
Types of Warts
Doctors put warts into three basic categories:
- Flat and common warts
- Genital warts
- Senile warts
Common warts are painless and form usually on hands. They look like dry, thick skin or calluses with rough surface. Warts can range in size from as small as a millimeter across to as big as a pea seed. Common warts may connect together forming larger growths.
Plantar warts form on the soles of the feet. They are common warts variety. It is a most painful type of warts and may cause many problems in walking. They may lead to loss of ability to work if not treated.
Flat warts form as a result of skin irritation from scratches, cuts, and injures. They are flat, round and oval. They appear on face and hands. Children and young adults commonly form flat warts.
Genital warts result from practicing poor hygiene. They have appearance of reddish blisters that can join together occupying areas on skin. Surely, they may not appear in a person who practices good hygiene and keeps themselves healthy and clean.
Senile warts upset the older people. They not result from virus. They are located under seborrheic layer and form on face, chest and neck. The lesions may be black, brown or flash-coloured.

RELEASE — Experience the look and feel of some unique green homes during the popular annual Ontario-wide Natural Homes self-guided Tour, Sunday September 30, 10AM to 4PM, being organized by the Ontario Natural Building Coalition, a grassroots organization dedicated to the promotion of natural building.
In the Kingston area a Timber Frame Passive Solar Straw Bale home and a Hybrid Straw Bale home are among those welcoming visitors, together with close to 30 others across the province.
A $10 passport (available online at naturalbuildingcoalition.ca) provides admission to as many places across the province as you can visit in the day.
Directions and other tour details are available at naturalbuildingcoalition.ca. For those without internet access, call 613-633-3557 before the day of the tour.
This self-guided tour is the perfect opportunity to step right inside some natural buildings, see what they are like, and get honest feedback from the owners about all aspects of their homes. Most structures feature other "green" technologies as well, including solar and wind electricity, composting toilets, earthen plasters, green roofs, natural finishes and more innovations.
Natural building may be the housing equivalent to the increasingly popular local food movement – living in energy efficient homes and additions that are crafted from minimally processed, renewable and local materials. People choose natural homes for reasons ranging from energy efficiency, to the healthiness of the materials, to a desire for architecturally interesting and unique homes and additions. There is an appeal for every interest and the demand continues to grow.
Captivated with the idea of strong, durable, super-insulated and beautiful homes that cost no more than conventional construction and which offer remarkable environmental benefits, more than 500 natural homes, offices, additions and even institutional buildings have been constructed in Ontario over the last several years.

Hailey Dawson is currently a veteran of tossing the ritualistic very first pitch at the ripe aging of 7. Lei' s got 2 Major League video games under her belt and will include a 3rd, with her most significant audience yet, as she starts Game 4 of the World Series in Houston.
Dawson remains in the middle of a 30-ballpark trip, tossing the very first pitch for every single MLB group, with the help of a 3D-printed prosthetic hand developed by a research study group at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Dawson was born with an unusual condition called Poland Syndrome, which left her missing out on 3 fingers on her right-hand man.
But prosthetics are generally exceptionally expensive, and numerous insurance coverage strategies won ' t cover the$25,000 +to provide them for kids, considering them " unneeded, " unlike a leg. Kids rapidly grow out of the gadgets and the expense begins to build up. esso ' s a hole in the health care system that has actually been dealt with by a variety of groups in the 3D-printing market, consisting of not-for-profits like the Open Hand Project .
Using a 3D printer to produce a tailored 3D-printed hand or arm considerably lowers the production expense and enables a lot easier part switching, needs to something be broken or its user simply outgrows it.
Hailey' s mom, Yong, connected to their regional University, UNLV to ask if they'd have the ability to assist produce a custom-made prosthetic. Brendan O' Toole, chairman of the school' s mechanical engineering department, required. " Additive production has actually made it possible to offer affordable prosthetic gadgets for kids like Hailey, " he informs TechCrunch. " We can now make a couple of measurements of a kid' s hand, procedure them through our custom-made style tool that creates 37 CAD designs in a couple of minutes, and after that have actually printed parts all set the next day."
O ' Toole ' s group got to work producing a hand on a Stratasys 3D printer. " Quella ' s the appeal of 3D printing, " Stratasys ' Jesse Roitenberg informed TechCrunch. " esso ' s not simply printing the next rocket or the control panel of a Ford. esso' s being utilized to enhance lives."
It likewise provides kids the capability to tailor their arms, piace that Iron Man kid a couple of years back, o, in Dawson ' s case, the colors of the group she ' s checking out. Lei ' s getting a custom-made hand for tonight ' s video game also, however UNLV ' s disappointing off whether it ' s Dodger blue, Astros orange or something else a bit more neutral. Pitch airs tonight at 5:09 P.M. PT.
As for exactly what 3D printing implies for the future of prosthesis, " I think with the motion that ' s going on today, prosthetic business may be shaking in their boots, " states Roitenberg. " They have to be checking out these alternative methods to produce the prosthetics that they have. "
Update: Hailey showed up dressed up in Astros orange, and captured the corner of the plate to raucous applause from the crowd in Houston.

Title: Yossi (Ha-Sippur shel Yossi)
Strand Releasing
Director: Eytan Fox
Screenwriter: Itay Segal
Cast: Ohad Knoller, Lior Ashkenazi, Orly Silbersatz, Oz Zehavi, Ola Schur Selektar
Screened at: Review 2, NYC, 1/8/13
Opens: January 25, 2013
There are many ways that the cultures of Iran and Israel are dissimilar. In Iran's population there exists not a single homosexual, at least not since 1979. If you can't believe the president of that country, whom can you believe? In Israel, for example, gays may not always be out of the closet but that macho country happily has no problems with gays in the army. Not only that, but gay men and hetero men can joke around with one another without anyone's fearing that there must be something sexual about the horseplay. And if you can't believe a movie that brings out this concept, whom can you believe?
The movie in question is "Yossi," directed by Eytan Fox, whose tension-filled "Walk on Water" follows a Mossad agent skilled in assassination who tracks down an old Nazi considered to be still alive. In his films, Fox has questioned whether love can exist in a country filled with tension, whether one can be openly gay in a macho culture, whether an Israeli can be friendly with a Palestinian, and what it's like to be young in that small nation. This time around, his "Yossi," a sequel to his 2002 film "Yossi and Jagger" about two army buddies fighting in Lebanon. Fox uses Itay Segal's screenplay to show several of these concepts, and he does so in a tender, heartfelt, apparently realistic way in a story that includes a terrific soundtrack from Gustav Mahler to old-fashioned folk to youthful pop.
The title figure, played by thirty-six year old actor Ohad Knoller in the guise of a 33-year-old cardiologist, is a sad, lonely, closeted gay man who in one scene is so disturbed when awakened by a woman who comes on to him in his sleep that he thrusts her aside causing her to injure himself. Yet nobody appears aware of the doctor's sexual orientation, but some, including his womanizing doctor friend Moti (Lior Ashkenazi), are mystified that the workaholic doc has never taken a vacation. Perhaps they could have figured the truth: that when he does go home (he sleeps regularly in the hospital) it's to a lonely room where he eats take-out noodles and watches gay porn.
After giving a patient (Orly Silbersatz) information she did not want to hear about her son who died in the war in Lebanon, he takes off for a vacation, picking up a group of fun-loving young soldiers including Tom (Oz Zehavi), an openly gay man, who senses a like spirit in Yossi. What happens between them could conceivably change the cardiologist's social life.
Though the romance between Tom and the older man does not elicit much chemistry, both the side roles and that of Ohad Knoller in the principal one are spot-on. Knoller, in most of the scenes and portraying a chubby, shlubby guy with a scruffy beard, is the perfect choice for portraying sadness and loneliness, his drab outlook on life contradicted by the bright lights of a luxury hotel in Eilat, the country's southernmost city. "Yossi" follows its sad sack at a leisurely pace and, I'm told, the story may have been inspired by the Biblical story in the Book of Samuel of David and Jonathan, whose friendship may have been platonic, maybe not.

Gibson Explorer. This legendary electric guitar made its first appearances back in 1958. Much like the Explorer's sister guitar; the Gibson Flying V which was released the same year, the Gibson Explorer was immediately exciting due to its striking "futuristic" body design.
Gibson actually discontinued the Explorer in 1963 but it made a return when Gibson noticed other guitar companies had begun releasing similar designs.
The Gibson Explorer came back in full force in 1976 and was found to be especially popular with hard rock and heavy metal guitarists throughout the 1970s and 1980s.
Two humbuckers and a Tune-O-Matic bridge are key to the Gibson Explorer which has been played by many famous guitarists over the years.
A short list of famous Gibson Explorer players includes Matt Heafy of Trivium, Pete Willis of Def Leppard fame, Eric Clapton, James Hetfield of Metallica, The Edge of U2 fame, Dave Grohl from Foo Fighters and Mattias Jabs of Scorpions fame.
Mattias Jabs became so associated with the Gibson Explorer that in the late 80s, Jabs and Gibson even collaborated on a model of the Gibson Explorer which came to be known as the Gibson Explorer 90 due to it being 90% of the size of the standard Gibson Explorer).
As visually and aurally striking as it was way back in 1958, the Gibson Explorer is legendary and finds its place in many different genres of music.

Keeping History Alive
The mission of CAF RISE ABOVE: WASP is to share the story of the Women Airforce Service Pilots in order to inspire others, especially girls and young women, to RISE ABOVE expectations and find a greater appreciation of their potential.
Impact of the WASP
The WASP paved the way for women pilots in the military, acting as "spiritual grandmothers" to female pilots of today. With CAF RISE ABOVE: WASP, their story impacts and inspires young women to achieve their dreams.
AT-6 "Nella"
Named after the WASP mascot Fifinella, "Nella" is a fully-restored AT-6 Texan warbird that was flown by the WASP at their training facilities at Avenger Field in Sweetwater, TX during the War.
Honoring Their Legacy
Like the Tuskegee Airmen, the women who would become the WASP were marginalized, regardless of their skill or willingness to serve their country. The circumstances of World War II gave them the chance to fly for their country stateside, but for decades they were not recognized for their service.

If you want to enjoy the latest Star Wars, the math is simple. Go in fresh, sans all spoilers and influence from the fan base.
The best thing in the world for any Star Wars fan who wants to go along and see The Last Jedi is to heed this advice: go in spoiler-free. I mean, do everything you can to avoid the memes, the Tweets, the trailers, ads, reviews, all of it. Which is weird coming from someone writing a review of the thing, but take my word for it, avoid the spoilers.
It's really an amazing thing on multiple levels. For one, it's a great, rollicking adventure on its own. It stands to analysis and enjoyment even without having digested the previous seven films (plus Rogue One), and at 150-odd minutes, packs a heck of a lot into its duration. It simultaneously is open to the next adventure, all the while closing the book on the entire canon. As far as sequels go, it's superior to its predecessor, and that really is saying something.
I have a theory about George Lucas – he's a great ideas man. A producer. He can conceive of a great sequence of events, or a basic plot, a twist, a set-piece, but writing – especially dialogue – was never his strong suit (he'd admit as much) and his directing style is not really adding much to general auteur theory. This is a series that has struggled over the years due to Lucas' high-level creative control – to the point where the better films are the ones where he has little to nothing to do with the execution. The Last Jedi is very much a film by Rian Johnson, whose previous outings as a director include the very clever and crafty sci-fi/noir Looper, as well as three of the better episodes of Breaking Bad. Whoever made the very astute decision to put him at the helm of Episode VIII… I want to buy you a drink. (Kathleen Kennedy, cool, what'll it be?)
Johnson's take on the material is to do as he pleases: infuse the telling with humour; nod to the past, to the canon, all the while doing the film as he wants to do it. In it, Star Wars devotees will notice a few very distinct differences, or firsts: the way force-sensitive characters can communicate and interact with each other; the nature of the characters; the use of flashbacks; the very structure of the thing.
Also on The Big Smoke
- Star Wars' female fandom is positive – We makeup half the galaxy after all
- Dear fanboys: Stop complaining about the new Star Wars
- It's a small galaxy after all: Is Disney ruining Star Wars?
- Film Review: Rogue One – A Star Wars Story
I can't fault the film. The only thing I wanted was more of it, and if I got what I wanted the film would be about five hours long. The problem it has is that there are so many characters, and those who get smaller roles are inevitably going to be robbed of their due screen time. But Johnson gets over this by making every moment count. Across the board, performances are first rate; the dialogue is sharp, and the tale's unfolding delivers nothing short of aching anticipation for the next chapter.
Here's a challenge: do what you can to not see any of the trailers, TV spots or images from the forthcoming JJ Abrams-directed Episode IX. That one is two years away…and they've not even started shooting it yet. Do as best you can to walk into the theatre in the last weeks of 2019 having seen as little as possible than what they put on the posters and be prepared to be wowed.
In the meantime, your whistle can be whetted with Ron Howard's Solo next year, Johnson's forthcoming expanded universe trilogy, Stephen Daldry's rumoured Obi-Wan Kenobi standalone film, and then what we can only assume is a new Star Wars film every single year until the end of time. This makes me more than a little happy.

When Your Contractor Runs Out of Money
I have gotten numerous calls over the last few weeks from homeowners whose contractors have run out of money. Either the contractors tell the homeowners that they are unable to continue, or warning signs occur. The contractor starts asking for payments ahead of the work, he presses you to sign new contracts or change orders for additional work, subcontractors start to complain that they aren't being paid, or he just disappears.
The homeowners are frantic and they ask me what to do. The contractor hasn't quit, but they are stuck.
First of all, I would recommend confronting your contractor and asking flat out if he or she is having cash flow issues. Contractors frequently apply funds to previous job, subs or suppliers, and in this economy, they are getting caught short. If the contractor is honest and tells you the truth, it may be worth your while to advance some money to the contractor or pay extra and ask for some extras. It may save you money and aggravation to pay your own contractor a little more to get the job done.
Second, do not just terminate or fire your contractor. If you do, you run the risk that your contractor may bring an action against your for breach of contract. Go back and read your contract and see if there are any clauses that address bases for terminating the contract.
Instead, write a demand letter to your contractor. In it, state that you are proposing a schedule for completion and payments to serve as an addendum to your contract. If the contractor does not agree to your proposed schedule or suggest one of his own, then you can state that he will be in breach, and you will "mitigate your damages" (reduce damages) by hiring another contractor to complete the job. That way, the contractor will be the one who is in breach.
A note to contractors: I represent contractors and construction companies and I am sympathetic to your situation in this economy. That said, it is better to be honest with owners and try to work things out then to disappear or keep asking for more money. Now is the time to fess up and ask for additional funds to complete the job. It may maintain the good will you have generated and result in more work from referrals in the future.

The Shattered Realms Update
Part Two of my new trilogy, 'A Queen's Heart', is now reaching its climax. Following on from Part One, 'The Ancient Realm', this is 'The Shattered Realms'. As always, the cover features artwork by my son, Paul.
'The Shattered Realms' moves the story on from where 'The Ancient Realm' left off with the Lord of Morgonnun preparing to unleash his evil on the Triple Alliance of The Kingdom, Draal and Dragotar. Meanwhile Mussa is stranded in Krimmin and unable to use her new-found power to come to Avalind's aid - or is she?
There isn't much more of the first draft to do now. Hopefully that will be complete within two or three weeks, followed by a fairly intensive period of line editing. All being well, we should be looking at a publication date before the end of February. Once that is done, I will be starting work on the third, and final part, provisionally entitled, 'The Hearts of Four Queens'. Hopefully that will be complete some time in the autumn. Then I will turn my attention to a third 'Rutter' book.
Please note. My brother, Merv, who writes under the nom-de-plume of Petra Ceason, has moved his website to a new server. This has involved a change in its URL, although the site, itself, remains the same. The new URL is: petraceason.webspace.virginmedia.com

When the cold winter attack, the daycare children often get lack chance to go outside. Spending most of the time inside the daycare often make children feel bored. To avoid boredom, you can try to make some simple Christmas craft together. Imagine how much fun that you may get when you can decorate the Christmas tree together. Here are series of enjoyable Christmas craft activity that you can do along with children under your supervision:
Pompom bauble
To make pompom bauble, you will need the blue wool. Besides that, you will need to prepare an old cardboard box. First thing to do is cutting two circles from the old cardboard. After that, cut a circle from the middle of each card circle until you get similar of two donuts shapes. When you are finish to create two donuts shape then you can lay the card one circle on the top of the other circles. Take the wool or yarn and then wrap it around the circles by passing through the middle hole. Keep continue to doing it until the whole card is cover up and the hole in the middle nearly closed by the yarn.
By using scissor, push the point of scissor along the circle edge and then snip the yarn all the way. Ease the card circles slightly apart and then tie a piece of the yarn around the middle part of the wool ad then pulling it tight. Let the ends of the wool stay long since you will need it to hang up it on the Christmas tree. Remove the card circles and your pompom bauble is ready to show up. You do not need to stuck in a blue color since you can use various wool color to create lovely pompom bauble such as white wool for snowflakes and red for great pompom effect.
Wrapping paper bauble
The most important thing to remember before making wrapping paper bauble is choosing paper that is not easily ripped out. To create it, you will need to use 4 pieces of wrapping paper to glued together. First of all, prepare 4 wrapping paper with different pattern, glue, 2 paper fastener, hole punch, yarn or ribbon to hang the bauble. Start the making process by taking 4 strips from each of two set pattern. Lay the strip in a pile or choose one pattern from each set. Create a hole in the middle of the strip and attach it with paper fastener.
Make a hole in each end of the strip and bring one set to another to create a loop. Fasten i with paper fastener and then tease the paper strip until it open up and form a bauble. Take the yarn or ribbon and tie it into one of the paper fastener to hang the bauble. If your bauble is small sized then you can simply hang it on Christmas tree to create perfect additional decoration. However, big bauble will be perfect to hang on the ceiling.
Those two craft activity is perfect for children to stay have fun while spending the time during the cold snowy near the Christmas time. Just try to make it together and let them bring it home. Children tend to be more interested, happy and proud when they are involved in making something. For daycare decoration, simply choose small Christmas tree and spend the time to decorate it together with your daycare children.

Executive Summary
Student experiences with academic advising vary dramatically throughout Penn Engineering. To better meet student needs of receiving honest, and readily-available information, while concurrently meeting administration's need for a resource-light and easy to moderate platform, we recommend forming departmental Piazza pages. We suggest that these pages be actively marketed and that attention be given to the culture of the page from the outset. We also recommend several smaller initiatives to be tested during high demand periods such as Advance Registration and the weeks near the drop deadline.
Key Findings - Faculty Advising
Students' experiences of academic advising at Penn is extremely variable. In a survey conducted in March 2018, only 35% of respondents indicated a positive relationship with academic advisors. It is noted that most positive relationships are overwhelmingly positive, indicating that there are advisors who are interested in the program. Common concerns students had included their advisor being "always busy" or not very engaged in the advising process. One respondent remarked that he simply "wish[ed] he knew more about the classes." Many indicated that a relationship simply does not exist. The survey indicated that many students would see their advisor as infrequently as possible and not use them as a resource. As a method of delivery for information, the current faculty advising system does not reflect the needs of students appropriately.
Understanding the Problem
Faculty and administration have limited time for advising. During periods such as advanced registration, undergraduate coordinators are especially busy and often answering repeated questions. Students want up to date information that is detailed, accurate, and accessible.
Possible Solutions
The current advising system is outdated. We recommend that major-specific Piazza pages are made and heavily marketed to students.
This page would be manned by administrative staff and a few select, engaged and knowledgeable professors.
Moderation: This page should encourage student-to-student interactions, with faculty/administration playing the role of moderation while giving out objective information by using the following tools:
Endorsing answers
Providing different perspectives
Marketing: every student who emails the department with a question or comes in to advising should be referred to the page if appropriate. Repeated questions should be linked back to the original answer. Academic advisors should encourage the use of the page. The benefit of the page comes only with activity.
A trial should be made to assess the usefulness of a text advising system and student office hours during peak advising periods such as advanced registration.
Avoiding Past Mistakes
ESE and WiCS have both tried using a Piazza advising system with some success. There are a few ways to learn from where they have failed.
Initial Adoption: In addition to the mass marketing recommended earlier, we suggest that, when the page first starts, administration of the department works together with a small team of students to post and answer 'fake questions'.
These questions should be the most commonly asked questions.
The fake posts and comments should be made to strongly encourage the culture described below.
Culture: An effort should be made to ensure a diversity of views. The largest problem with the current CIS Facebook page, for example, is that advice is typically given by those most comfortable with classes and as a result you don't hear the viewpoint of those struggling.
There should be 'fake' comments made with students disagreeing with each other and with students disagreeing with faculty - these disagreements must be made so extremely respectfully and therefore encourage a full selection of views and experiences.
Complete anonymity should be allowed to encourage honest feedback.

As far back as I can remember, I've always liked to tinker on things. I remember taking things apart to see how they worked and many times not being able to get them back together.
When I got older this evolved into working on vehicles, mostly 4×4 trucks and JEEPs. I've done engine swaps, rebuilds, axle swaps, lift kits, custom metal fab, etc. You name it, I've probably done it. Fortunately I figured out how to put things back together.
Nowadays I've got my fingers in all kinds of things: cars, microcontrollers, circuits, code, metal, wood, 3d printing, etc, etc. I do love a good project. I've started this site to document my adventures, and misadventures, along the road of constant tinkering. If you've got a good project idea, let me know! I may also attempt to rope some of my buddies in to do guest posts along the way.
Stay Tuned!

Press Release - October 21, 2015
Smart Yards Co-op Will Conserve Water and Empower Employees
October 19 was the first day of operation of the Smart Yards Cooperative, an innovative new enterprise based in San Jose to conserve water by replacing existing lawns with California native and drought-tolerant plants.
"Smart Yards is a holistic solution that saves on water, energy, time, maintenance, pollution, and costs for the homeowner", states Project Director and co-op founder Elizabeth Sarmiento. Elizabeth and her husband, homeowners in Willow Glen replaced their front and back lawn into sustainable landscapes in 2008 which significantly reduced their water consumption.
Elected officials including Senator Jim Beall and San Jose City Council member Ash Kalra recently helped launch Smart Yards, highlighting the urgency of water conservation and sustainable landscaping practices.
Senator Beall stressed: "I think it's very important to tell people to rip out their lawns. This is not a lawn-type area, especially now that we have global warming going on." He added, "I'm going to do as much as I can to get money in the state budget to fund the rebates for communities, especially for cooperatives."
Homeowners may be eligible for a rebate from their local water district to help convert their lawns into sustainable landscaping.
San Jose City Council member Ash Kalra also expressed his support: "This truly is the solution for long term sustainability where it comes to water conservation in a way in which the employees and those that own the coop are empowered."
Smart Yards is set up to create healthy, bio-diverse yards by using intelligent landscaping designs, permaculture principles, non-toxic and reusable materials, native and drought-tolerant plants that are children and pet friendly, Zen and rainwater gardens, edible food and herb gardens, greywater installations, and amenities such as raised beds, chicken coops, fruit trees, composting, and spaces for fun and relaxation.
"The landscapes don't require mowing or blowing, which cuts down on dust allergies, noise pollution, and maintenance costs", states Sarmiento.
Smart Yards is being incubated by the non-profit Human Agenda, with its values of "promoting democracy, equality, cooperation, kindness, and sustainability", says Executive Director Richard Hobbs. "Smart Yards meets all of these criteria."
The Smart Yards Cooperative can be reached at408-665-2621, email@example.com, orsmartyardscoop.com.

Surveying Success: The Hume Family in Colonial Queensland
See History Queensland Issue 2 (Feb 2012) for a review of Surveying Success by Dr Geoff Ginn, School of History, Philosophy, Religion & Classics, University of Queensland @ http://www.historyqld.com.au
Colonial Queensland was the stage on which the Hume family achieved success between 1863 and 1901. The scenes were set on the Darling Downs and in Brisbane.
Walter and Katie Hume coped with isolation from family and the deaths of five infants while working to establish their financial future, secured promotions for Walter and created a place for themselves among the colonial elite. They attained the ideal middle-class family life with Walter's career success providing sufficient income to educate their children overseas, reside in elite homes, and engage in genteel and philanthropic pastimes.
This is an exceptional exposé of the social aspiration and elitism of an upwardly mobile family in colonial Queensland.
