Why Your Dog Adores His Veggies
Dogs are omnivores, which means they love eating a little of just about everything, including wholesome and delicious vegetables. Not only are veggies filled with healthy fiber, nutritious vitamins and vital minerals, but they are also low in fat and calories, making them an ideal addition to your pooch's diet. Plus, they're so tasty!
Read on to discover why your pup goes wild for veggies.
The Taste
Dogs have taste buds that react to pretty much the same flavors we do, including sweet, sour, bitter and meaty, umami-like flavors. Things like carrots, tomatoes, cooked potatoes, cooked sweet potatoes, peas, cooked pumpkin and green beans all tempt your pup's taste buds with their yummy flavors and touch of sweetness. In short, they like veggies for the same delicious reasons we do!
The Texture
Veggies have a crunchy, watery texture dogs love. Some delicious broccoli, cucumber, zucchini or cauliflower can really hit the spot for your canine companion because they've got that crisp consistency. And these veggies can help keep your pup's teeth clean by scrubbing away plaque as she chews.
The Smell
Dogs respond to smell much like humans — in fact, their sense of smell is much better than ours. And you know what they like to sniff out? Fresh veggies! That's right, the fresher the better, as the smell of fresh vegetables is stronger than the more muted (and potentially unpleasant) scent of older ones.
If your pooch is not interested in the scent of the veggies you're offering, try steaming them to enhance their aroma — but always cool them first before sharing with your dog. Cooking also makes them easier for Benji to digest. Or give your pup some new Milk-Bone® Farmer's Medley™ Whole Grain Recipe With Beef Biscuits, which contain real carrots.
The Nutrients
The nutrients contained in veggies are great for dogs, possibly even helping them retain their cognitive abilities as they age by providing them with healthy antioxidants.
A Note of Caution
Not all veggies are good for dogs, especially anything in the onion family, including garlic, which is considered highly toxic. Always research a new vegetable before feeding it to your dog to determine if it's good for him or not. Remember to always cook potatoes and avoid unripe tomatoes. Beware choking hazards like corn cobs. And veggies make great snacks, but too many at once can upset your pup's tummy, so keep them to about 10% of his daily diet.

This was inevitable.
Laziness can be profitable—for non-lazy people. Robert Samuel knows people hate waiting in line, so he's created a business where he waits in line for highly-anticipated items (cronuts, iPhones, etc.) for money. "People want these things like it's the end of the world," Samuel told the New York Post.
After losing his job at AT&T last year, Samuel created SOLD (Same Old Line Dudes) Inc. after leaving a message of Craigslist saying he would wait in line for an iPhone 5 for $100. After learning that tourists would pay him to wait in line for seven hours to score Saturday Night Live tickets, he realized he was on to something.
According to the Post, he makes $300 each week lining up for cronuts alone. He arrives outside of Dominique Ansel Bakery at 5 a.m. and is soon joined by his friends, who help him make up for the two-cronut-per-person rule.
What you're too lazy to do, someone will gladly take your money to do.

Hope House provides Community Outreach services to our surrounding area, helping residents maintain a safe and healthy neighborhood. Our Community Liaison connects with neighbors through events, meetings, and regular door to door contacts. Last night, we hosted an E-Notify and E-Services training, in conjunction with District 2 Police Department and City of Milwaukee staff. Community members had the opportunity to learn how to report problems in their area (like potholes and graffiti) quickly and easily, using the City's online reporting system--E-Services.
You can use E-Services, freshly updated online services from the City of Milwaukee, to report problems in your neighborhood or on your property. Graffiti, potholes, even interior code violations that your landlord won't fix--you can quickly and easily submit your request for service online here, or by visiting www.city.milwaukee.gov and clicking "Request Services Online" on the menu. Anyone can use this service, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You no longer need to create an account and login to report problems--you can just simply report your issue and it will be forwarded to the correct department.
You will see a variety of choices for services you can request. You can select one at a time, provide a quick description of your problem and submit your request. If you provide your email address and name, the City of Milwaukee can contact you and update you when your problem has been attended to and resolved. You can also remain anonymous and follow the progress of your request by saving and searching for the Case ID associated with your submission. Some people choose to anonymously report issues that their landlord is not fixing--but remember, a landlord cannot retaliate against you for reporting legitimate code violations in your rental unit.
E-Notify services lets you select the information and events in your community that you want to hear about. You can choose from myriad options, such as community meetings, snow emergencies, and license applications and have these emailed or texted right to your phone. You can get a text when a snow emergency requires you to park your car off a particular street, or you can be emailed a summary of crime reports in your area. You can sign up for E-Notify here, or by visiting www.city.milwaukee.gov and clicking "Get Notices by Email" on the menu bar.
Stay up to date with E-Notify, and improve your neighborhood with E-Services! Have any questions? Call our Community Liaison, Jamal at (414) 389 3830 or email him at jamalg(at)hopehousemke.org

You may consider contacting Jet and ask about their castings. Their saws are cast, from what I read, and are still using molds have way back when. A member here bought a Jet and it was a total disaster. I'm not sure how he made out complaining to them but he was able to return it and bought a ELLIS.
It wouldn't hurt to call or ask them about warranty before you buy. Once they have your $$$ who knows.

Vbox Ships Dual Hybrid Digital/Analog TV Tuner
Vbox Communications has begun shipping its Catseye 164e dual hybrid ATSC/NTSC TV tuner card.
PCMag reviews products independently, but we may earn affiliate commissions from buying links on this page. Terms of use.
Vbox also announced a relationship with NDS, one of the leading developers of content protection and delivery products. NDS technology is used to secure satellite feeds from sources such as DirecTV or the UK's Sky Network. Vbox has prototype hardware that already works on PCs, incorporating an NDS smart card and capable of receiving DirecTV premium content. The product's ship date is uncertain, as details of the business model have yet to be ironed out. The Vbox product could be a PCIe card or USB-connected external box. What's yet to be determined is whether a provider such as DirecTV will offer it directly to customers, or whether OEMs might offer "DirecTV Certified" PCs. Vbox Vice President of Marketing Yosi Brosh noted that it's unlikely that a PC-based DirecTV tuner will be available until 2008, as these details get sorted out.

Understanding Lightning Component Framework Architecture
Traditionally, Salesforce UI design came down to two questions: Do I want to recreate the look-and-feel of Salesforce with custom Visualforce pages, or do I want to install a third party framework to create rich application interfaces?
The prevailing design pattern since the fall of Adobe Flash has been to use Visualforce to simply render the output from JavaScript frameworks such as Backbone, Angular, Ember, Sencha, and others. Developers could continue to follow MVC patterns by using Apex controllers to retrieve data from the Salesforce database.
Lighting Experience and the Lightning Component Framework solve a problem that has long been a barrier to a truly unified experience for all Salesforce users: Providing a single, integrated framework for developers that enabled the creation of rich, responsive applications that could be seamlessly "plugged in" anywhere in the UI rather than having to stand alone in separate pages or standalone applications.
Because the Lightning Component Framework is what underlies Lightning Experience and the Salesforce1 mobile applications, we no longer have to choose a JavaScript framework developed and maintained outside of Salesforce. We can now create components and applications using a rich JavaScript framework that is provided and maintained by Salesforce.
What is the Lightning Component Framework?
The Lightning Component Framework is a client-side UI framework that was built by Salesforce using the open source Aura UI framework. The framework uses JavaScript for client-side operations and exposes an API to access Salesforce data using Apex controllers.
The Lightning Component Framework was initially created to support development for the Salesforce1 mobile application, but is now the standard for responsive, client-side single page applications for the end-to-end Salesforce user and developer experience across all browsers and devices.
The framework provides a number of reusable out-of-the-box components for you to get started building your own Lightning Components, and the platform is fully maintained and supported by Salesforce.
The problem Salesforce solved with the Lightning Component Framework was to give Salesforce developers a single, standardized and supported JavaScript framework to move beyond the limitations of Visualforce and build rich applications with a common design system without having to select, install and maintain a third party framework.
What is JavaScript?
Along with HTML and CSS, JavaScript is one of the three core languages of web development.
If you do not have a background in JavaScript, don't worry. Even though it will be the most difficult thing you will have to learn when coming up to speed on Lightning Component development, JavaScript has been around for decades and there are countless resources available for learning the language.
JavaScript will not be completely foreign to Apex developers or anyone with an object-oriented programming (OOP) background as it follows object-oriented principles. What will throw you off if you have an Apex background is the fact that JavaScript is loosely typed, whereas Apex is a strongly typed language. This will take some getting used to conceptually.
Many of us have only had to learn JavaScript at a cursory level because JavaScript libraries like jQuery and JavaScript frameworks such as Sencha ExtJS, Angular, Node and Backbone take care of a lot of the heavy lifting for us when it comes to actual JavaScript programming.
What are JavaScript Frameworks?
JavaScript frameworks handle much of the behind-the-scenes complexity of JavaScript coding and DOM manipulation, and give developers a simplified template-based approach to building web applications.
While JavaScript itself does not follow the Model View Controller (MVC) design pattern, many JavaScript frameworks implement MVC to provide developers with a familiar architecture for separating the data model and view of an application with a logic, or controller layer. Each component of the MVC architecture can be maintained separately and be brought together in a cohesive application.
Some frameworks, such as Sencha ExtJS, may implement MVC but are more focused on enabling rich user interfaces by giving developers pre-built UI widgets that can be configured declaratively. Other frameworks are designed for touch-driven responsive mobile applications. There are dozens of JavaScript frameworks out there, the most common examples being Backbone.js, AngularJS, Ember.js, Knockout.js, React.js and ExtJS among others.
What is Aura?
Aura is an open source JavaScript UI framework that is maintained by Salesforce. Aura is component-based, and uses JavaScript on the client-side front-end, with Java on the sever-side back-end. Aura is the framework that underpins the Lightning Component Framework.
While the Lightning Component Framework and Aura have many similarities on the surface, do not try to use Aura components or functions that are not explicitly supported in the Lightning Component Framework documentation. Many developers have already found that these undocumented features may work at first, but unless they are explicitly supported by Salesforce, they can be taken away at any time.

As a teacher, the 4th of July is easily one of my most favorite holidays, as it marks the true beginning of summer. Unfortunately, July also brings hot, humid weather which doesn't fare too well for baking and decorating cookies. However, these cookies are a cinch to decorate, hot weather and all.
One of my favorite decorating techniques is creating polka dot cookies using the wet-on-wet technique. Confused? Let me walk you through the process.
To start, you need your cookies, baked and cooled. You also need your royal icing colors, in both piping consistency (think peaks) and flood (think glue). Outline your cookie with the piping icing and flood using a squeeze bottle and a toothpick to get the icing into all the corners.
Be careful not to over fill your cookie with the flood icing, or you may find icing dripping over the edges. The next step is to take a second color of flood icing and squeeze little drops onto the flooded cookie.
The dots will vary in size depending on how long of a squeeze you gave. You could easily stop here and let the cookies the dry. Or, you can repeat the above step with more icing colors.
Repeat again with another color if desired. I chose four colors for these cookies and alternated the colors depending on which color I used for the base.
When you're finished adding dots, your cookie should look like this:
See that light blue blob in the right corner of the star? Don't worry, it will smooth out as it settles. Let the cookies air dry overnight or at least eight hours before packaging or moving. When finished, your cookie will be nice and smooth with cute little polka dots.
If you decide to add a border or some sanding sugar to the edges (like I did on a few of the cookies above) make sure the entire cookie is completely dry so the sugar doesn't get all over the place.
The great thing about this design is that it can be used for any holiday or event, just change up the colors.
I hope you all had a happy and festive 4th of July! I am celebrating America's independence and my brief independence from lesson planning!

Bad case of ringworms
The blood-red visage of WWE.com's No. 10 Wildest WWE Superstar can quite literally stop a clock—especially the ones he smashes over his skull. His victims, meanwhile, are more concerned that time has run out for them. Emerging from the darkest shadows, thickening smoke and intense red lighting, this powerful, menacing creature casts a maniacally gleeful grin while his body spasms uncontrollably toward the ring. Many of his opponents want desperately to run, yet find themselves virtually mesmerized by fear. His wild eyes are transfixed on theirs, his breath reeking of foul, disgusting things digested only moments before. Yet it's the predator's frightening words that echo through their minds before he strikes.
I'm The Boogeyman! And I'm comin' to getcha!
Since first he surfaced from the Bottomless Pit in October 2005, Boogeyman has relished inflicting punishment on WWE's Superstars. Many claim that his very presence—punctuated by his recitation of nursery rhymes and demented riddles in a creepy sing-song tone—is enough to unsettle his in-ring quarry. Those who don't scare so easily, however, are often immobilized by Boogeyman's freakish strength. The power of his Pumphandle Slam or Chokebomb is matched only by his hunger for in-ring mayhem, or his voracious appetite for nourishing himself on live worms—a tasty treat he has shared with more than one unwilling victim. (In a fashion that could be compared to a bird regurgitating food to share with its young, only more disgusting.)
It's hard to explain in layman's terms what exactly Boogeyman is trying to accomplish in WWE; although championship gold is the greatest incentive for a WWE Superstar, at times he seems more interested simply in feeding off others' trepidation to face him. Many suspect that even he may not fully comprehend his own actions, and...well, let's face it. Boogeyman's unpredictable nature doesn't exactly make him an "open book" that fans want to read. Nevertheless, he does achieve results, having defeated many of WWE's greatest Superstars, including World Champions like JBL and King Booker.
Boogeyman may not be the only member of his kind (as evidenced by the occasional appearance of "Little Boogey," a diminutive version of himself), though he is clearly one of a kind in World Wrestling Entertainment. Only time will ultimately reveal what he desires most—time that, unfortunately for his adversaries, is on his side. He savors the "tick-tock" of the clock, counting down the seconds before meeting his next unsuspecting challenger in the ring. So before that time comes, it seems somewhat appropriate for WWE.com to offer a word of advice in the paraphrased words of an Edward D. Wood screenplay: "Beware. Take care. Beware…."

It's striking how most cookbooks have distinctive styles, and you can tell what the recipes are going to be like by browsing through the ingredients used. Here are some from Vegan Express:
Neva Atlas has many recipes uses seitan, Tofurky, various forms of tofu, vegan cheese, tempeh, quinoa and polenta, as well as bell peppers, sun-dried tomatoes, and spices such as paprika and jerk and barbeque seasoning. She also has many recipes with strong Asian inspiration. Some of her recipes have unusual taste combinations -- Dilled Red Beans with Pickled Beets, for example. Many of her recipes are quite busy, with quite long lists of ingredients.
The book is nicely designed with red and green print in different fonts, and a few color photographs of the dishes in the middle. There are 160 recipes, and the book has a useful index at the end. The ingredients promise strong tastes and a mixture of textures. There are helpful menu suggestions with each recipe. Atlas uses many pre-prepared ingredients and canned items as a way to cut down on preparation time, although recipes do not include any estimate of how long they will take to make. Each recipe does give information about the content of calories, fat, protein, carbohydrates, fiber and sodium.
For those who like the ingredients Atlas uses repeatedly, and want relatively quick and healthy vegan meals, Vegan Express will be a good resource.

The Cluelessness Of Americans: A Weekend Bon Mot
Have a good laugh over this video, in which the Australian reporter impersonates PM John Howard, asks Americans geography questions, and other silly stuff that no one should be expected to know the answer to. Particularly funny when he travels to Texas and asks the residents about invading Krygystan, which he tells people the president has deemed a security risk to the US.

Movie Trailers
Second John Hillcoat's LAWLESS Trailer
Here's another new trailer for John Hillcoat's Lawless movie which is set to open this August. As usual, you'll have a chance to see a little preview of the action that comes from the infamous Bondurant's Brothers, but you should also consider this video as a warning: a seriously good cast is on board for this epic gangster tale, so don't mess with them!
So, as you already know, Hillcoat's movie is inspired by true-life tales of author Matt Bondurant's family in his novel The Wettest County in the World, where the loyalty of three brothers is put to the test against the backdrop of the nation's most notorious crime wave.
As we said above, the story of the infamous Bondurant Brothers, bootlegging siblings who made a run for the American Dream in Prohibition-era Virginia has an awesome cast on board which includes Tom Hardy, Shia LaBeouf, Jessica Chastain, Gary Oldman, Guy Pearce, Mia Wasikowska and Jason Clarke.
Let us know what you think about this movie so far, and don't forget – Lawless opens on August 29th, 2012!

Community development is strongest when it involves a broad base of community environmental action.
Community mapping is the difference between doing expensive large-scale studies by outsiders or asking people in the community about what's going on. It is how to find out what's going on in any given community and what is the priority in terms of environmental issues. A community-mapping workshop captures that knowledge.
Community mapping or asset-based community development (ABCD), is at the center of a large and growing movement that draws upon existing community strengths to build stronger, more sustainable communities for the future. Much of the thinking behind the process of community mapping comes from John McKnight at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois.
ACER is at the tail end of a 3-year pilot study in the Niagara Region (in partnership with the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority and Greening Niagara, funded by OTF). During the community mapping sessions, the desire and need for citizens to understand the local impact of climate change was made loud and clear to us. The sessions also put local impacts of climate change on the radar of local municipal authorities.
We know we are going to need knowledgeable and engaged citizens taking action to mitigate and adapt to the
local impact of climate change.
The Niagara pilot will ultimately result in local reporting on the probability and consequence of a range of local climate change impact for 75% of the populated area of the Niagara Peninsula. These impacts range from crop changes, roofs blown off, wind damage, loss of trees, emerald ash borer infestation, development, flooding, culvert obstructions and culvert sizes.
To complete the pilot, we will be holding the last of three community-mapping workshops, a Hazard Identification Risk Assessment (HIRA) workshop in February 2016 to identify top ten risks in terms of their probability and consequences. Marianne Krasny, Chair of the Civic Ecology Lab at Cornell University will be our speaker at that workshop.

Talking with Mythbusters hosts Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman is like trying to have a conversation with a packet of Pop Rocks.
Both of these witty men, despite the ridiculously early hour of the interview, bounce and sass with all the obvious appeal of two guys who are more than enamoured with their job. A job that (the day prior to talking to them for this story) had them working with scaffolding, cranes, explosives, and giant bins of water, among other things.
But since they're currently on the road with one of their big and uber-cool tours, we figured what better time to chat them up about all things Mythbusters?
For those of you unfamiliar with the Mythbusters programme, it's a one-hour show on which Savage and Hyneman take a closer look at many pop culture urban legends and misconceptions both ancient and modern by staging authentic, often scientific, experiments that put those tales to the test. Former co-conspirators Grant Imahara, Kari Byron, and Tori Belleci are no longer part of the Mythbusters team now – they were somewhat unceremoniously dropped this past August after ten years with the show – but Savage and Hyneman, always the core, are moving forward, and are just as wildly popular as ever with geeks, science nerds, and fans of speculative experimentation.
Have you always wondered if dropping a penny from a tall building is as dangerous as you've heard? If the unaided human voice really can shatter glass? If duct tape can save you on a deserted island? How you could survive a zombie attack? Or – in another universe – how much of Star Wars is actually plausible? Well, Jamie and Adam are definitely your go-to guys to get those answers.
And they're not your average puppet-on-a-string hosts, either – far from it. Although Savage jokingly claims that he and Hyneman are nothing more than "… hired monkeys," both men actually bring a broad wealth of experience to the show.
Savage began building his own toys at the age of five, later holding jobs in animation, carpentry, welding, and stage design. He quickly moved onward and upward to the film special effects industry, where he worked at LucasFilm and on such projects as Star Wars: Episodes I and II, Galaxy Quest, Terminator 3, and A.I.
Hyneman's no slouch, either. A native of Indiana, he earned a degree in Russian languages and literature, and then ran a sailing/diving charter business in the Caribbean before moving over to movie visual effects, which saw him working for the likes of Colossal Pictures, Eon Productions, and the famed ILM (Industrial Light and Magic.)
It wasn't long before Hyneman took over Colossal Pictures, turning it into his own M5 Industries, which contributed props and other effects for the aforementioned Star Wars movies as well as the Matrix sequels.
So when producer Peter Rees – who at the time was working on another Discovery Channel show called Beyond 2000 – came up with the idea for the show, he knew just who he was gonna call to become the Ghostbus… erhm, Mythbusters.
"Peter had worked for the Discovery Channel for about ten years, and he had thought about how to do a science show that was actually entertaining," Savage explains. "He'd interviewed Jamie and I as part of Robot Wars way back in 1994, and he remembered Jamie and asked him if he'd be interested in hosting the show. Jamie said, 'eh, maybe,' and he called me up and I said, 'yeah, sure.' Everyone else showed up about three weeks later." And the show's now been on the air for almost 12 years.
In addition to Savage and Hyneman – all monkey jokes aside – there's actually a whole troop of people that help put the Mythbusters shows together, even as they're downscaling a bit after the departure of their "Build Team" trio.
"Adam and I are, I suppose, a large part of the show," Hyneman says with his typical understated approach. "But there is quite a production that's behind us. We do have our input on story selection, but most of it goes through our researchers and through the production team."
Savage agrees. "Yeah, most 'myths' are completed for the show within about four to seven days – but that doesn't include the weeks of reference work that our team does.
They also take fan suggestions to consideration when looking for myths to bust.
"Actually, about 30 to 50 percent of our stories arrive through the fan site or emails," Hyneman points out. "If we see one that stands out in particular, we'll definitely send it through."
And what kind of myths manage to snag the guys' attention? Well – just about anything, really, although they're both fans of the now-catchphrase "big boom," in which they can explode things. While they are partial to the thought processes behind the myths ("the most fun for me is the problem-solving," Savage says, while Hyneman comments that "every day on this show is like mental acrobatics"), they also realise that the entertainment factor is a big part of what draws people to watch.
So myths involving rockets, fast-moving vehicles, things flying, anything that makes a huge mess, pyrotechnics, and yes – big boom! – are most popular.
"A good example is an email we got from Australia years ago," Hyneman remembers, "where a farmer got a certain type of chemical, probably a fertiliser or pesticide, on his pants. In this case, he supposedly slapped his pants to clean his hands, and his pants exploded."
The unusual nature of the tale coupled with the potential humorous setup – and, of course, the explosives – makes a story like that, as Hyneman says, "classic Mythbusters" – albeit to the dismay of the official Mythbusters test dummy, who soon developed his own personality and fan following.
"Yeah, poor Buster was missing huge chunks of rubber from his legs after that one," Hyneman laughs.
But it's not all about just blowing things up, especially in this more sensitive day and age.
"We don't do the show for educational purposes, per se," Hyneman continues, "but – for instance – one of the factors of the pants episode was that many explosives are actually made from a nitrogen-based fertiliser product. So there's a distinct connection there, a base in reality. It's interesting, and I think it's one of the things that adds a little depth to the programme."
Whether the myths are busted or not (the three options are 'confirmed,' 'busted,' or 'plausible'), the process on the show is almost always as compelling to watch as finding out the result.
"Like we say, 'failure is always an option,'" Savage laughs. "This is science, after all – so we're not trying to get to any specific conclusion, just a conclusion."
Many of those conclusions are drawing attention from more than just Discovery Channel viewers, as Hyneman explains.
"This isn't something that we thought was going to happen, really, but now we're being consulted by people at places like Sandia Labs, Lawrence Livermore, Oakridge National Labs, and even NASA. These types of organisations contact us because they've seen us get some results on the show that could be useful to them. Our data has been used for things like air marshal training and breathalyzer testing – we're pretty proud of that."
And most of those results are worked out right on the Mythbusters' home turf, typically at Hyneman's M5 Industries special effects workshop. But when the myth gets too big for M5's hypothetical britches – or when they need a larger safety zone – the Mythbusters usually head out to the decommissioned Naval Air Station Alameda, or even the Mojave Desert.
"The show is usually shot completely in California, which is pretty amazing," Savage muses. "Pretty much everything we need is within a 3-hour drive of San Francisco. We get to use a lot of the terrific industrial supply places that are nearby, plus the military bases, and of course we have the ability to have everything from clear water to desert to snow-covered terrain, all within a half-day away."
Contrary to what Savage and Hyneman's previous training might indicate, though, they don't often get assistance from film pyrotechnicians. "They're more oriented towards making something look like a big explosion, as opposed to actually creating one," Hyneman explains. Instead, they rely on more serious resources to help blow things up.
"I put my money on the bomb squad," Hyneman confirms, while Savage has his own favourite: "It's definitely fun when we get the FBI to help us out," he grins.
Fun is a big part of the Mythbusters' draw, which is probably why they've seen their popularly soar. Both hosts have appeared everywhere from the David Letterman show to NPR's All Things Considered, Maker Faire to their own special lecture and exhibition Mythbusters tours. Even U.S. President Barack Obama made a special appearance on a Mythbusters episode. But both Savage and Hyneman have their own favourite episodes of the show, which may – or may not – be ones you'd expect.
"Adam absolutely loved the Alcatraz escape," Hyneman says, "and I liked the JATO (Jet-Assisted Take-Off) rocket, where we put a rocket on a car and radio-controlled it from a helicopter – we got to attempt that one twice!"
These days, there are few things other than safety concerns that will prevent the Mythbusters from airing an episode – the sky is quite literally the limit. From Indy racecars to crab boats (a very cool tie in with fellow Discovery show Deadliest Catch), MacGyver to Pirates of the Caribbean, Coke and Mentos to Hollywood car crashes – plus a healthy dose of duct tape – the mythbustin' possibilities are – well, mostly – endless.
"If time and money and resources were no obstacle, we'd fly to the Moon and return with a piece of Apollo hardware to prove that we've been there before," Savage laughs. – Kristi Kates

Storytelling – 'Tis The Season To Build Relationships
Category : Blogs
It's that most wonderful time of the year, when the trees go up, the lights are twinkling and kids are shaking the presents under the tree, desperate to know what's inside. Christmas means something different and special to every one of us, and it's because of the relationships we build that every Christmas celebration is so unique and wonderful. But how do you build these relationships with prospects and help turn them into clients? Simple, with brand storytelling and good relationship building. Let's take John Lewis, the kings of Christmas, for example.
What's Great About The John Lewis Adverts – Storytelling
Since 2007, Year on year, John Lewis have been renowned for bringing us a heart-warming and adorable Christmas advert. It's been something a lot of people now look forward to, and for many, marks the beginning of the Christmas season. But why?
Well, for a start they purposefully avoid images of excessive consumerism, which is what we expect at this time of year. Instead they focus on stories, creating narratives that viewers can become invested in. They tested out a few ideas form 2007-2010, but it wasn't until 2011 that they fully embraced the full-blown narrative approach to advertising, with almost Spielberg-scale schmaltz. That year, their sales role 9.3% compared to the previous year. In the years that followed we've had the bear and the hare, Monty the Penguin, the Man on the Moon and Buster the Dog, all of whom buried their way into our hearts and keep the name 'John Lewis' in our consciousness. It appears that we can't wait to find out what each years advert will be, and as soon as it's released, social media goes into meltdown for the new story.
John Lewis found the perfect combination of brand values, storytelling and music to create perfect sales. Instead of trying to sell us everything they stock, they remind us of what it's like to be a kid at Christmas by rekindling the emotions we felt when we were young. The themes of family, sharing and wonderment offer an authentic message we can connect and believe with. It's advertising at it's very best. John Lewis think so as their budget for advertising this Christmas will be in the region of £6m and they claim that since 2012 their Christmas sales have increased by more than 35 per cent due to the Christmas Adverts.
But People Caught On…
As with everything that's even mildly successful, people caught on and started to try it out for themselves. This year in particular the heart-warming storytelling of John Lewis and this years Buster the dog are facing some heavy competition. From Boots celebrating working women over Christmas with this narrative driven promotion to Morrisons 'makes it Christmas' campaign, which shows a happy family together at Christmas, enjoying food – a homely image we all try to mimic at this time of year. For M&S, Mrs Claus helps Santa with his deliveries in a contemporary 'Christmas with Love' advert, promoting luxury, togetherness and the power of Christmas. And even Sainsbury's has chipped in this year with their own storytelling of an animated Christmas musical tale of a busy father desperately trying to find gifts for kids.
Some companies, like fashion brand Burberry have been using Christmas as an opportunity to tell people about their brand values through short films (or long adverts, depending on how you look at it. With the 3 minute advert Burberry wanted to 'tell the story of Thomas Burberry – pioneer, inventor, innovator, and the man behind the iconic trench coat – in our own words' This powerful video has already been viewed 13,954,460 times on YouTube since being published, and sales of Burberry have increased this Christmas. Check out this companies storytelling and you will think it is the trailer for a new block buster film!
Even charities have discovered the power of storytelling adverts. In what has been daubed the most 'heart-breaking' advert of the year, Alzheimer's Research UK teamed up with Stephen Fry to deliver you the story of when Santa forgot Christmas. They have tapped into an issue that plagues thousands across the country and, through this fictional character, have turned it into a story even those without first-hand experience can relate to. If you don't get a bit teary while watching it, you must have a heart of iron. This advert has been up just 3 weeks, with 153,957 views on YouTube and millions more from TV sets everywhere. Donations are up and more and more people are aware of this disease than ever before. So even though all of these companies have used the John Lewis ideas, all of them are seeing results.
What Does This Have To Do With Relationships?
Everything John Lewis do at Christmas, is designed to create a relationship with their audience, and they do it perfectly. You develop a connection with their brand because of the emotions they evoke and the stories they tell, so viewers are more likely to trust and buy from them. Every business should be learning from this storytelling, regardless of size. For smaller businesses, it's less about crafting a beautiful advertising campaign and more about telling an honest, genuine story that will help readers get to know you as a brand and trust you.
You can do this through your marketing and About Us page on your website, but a big part of that storytelling comes in the relationships we build during networking. Every time you meet someone for coffee or at a networking meeting, you will talk about something new and learn different things about each other, strengthening the connection between you and reinforcing the idea that you are trustworthy and worthy buying from or referring.
So this year, when you're enjoying our Christmas networking lunch, make sure you take the time to have a meaningful conversation and get to know someone better. Those strong relationships are the foundation of great business relationships, and that's how business gets done. From all of us at 10-12, have a wonderful Christmas and a fantastic New Year, we hope you have enjoyed our storytelling blog.

"We have invited the Prime Minister to inaugurate the sustainable development summit either on October 5 or 6, depending on his schedule", said Ajay Mathur, the present director general of this Delhi-based energy and sustainable development think tank.
He said, "We hope this marks an important point in the calender as we move ahead with the implementation of both the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Paris Agreement (on climate change)".
The TERI's World Sustainable Development Summit (WSDS) will be among the first international summits to discuss the new agenda post the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the COP21 – signing of the landmark Paris Agreement.
Mathur, member of the Prime Minister's Council on Climate Change, had taken over as TERI director general in February, replacing Pachauri who was removed from his post in the wake of the allegations of sexual harassment.
In an interview to the TOI on Tuesday, Mathur sought to drive home the point that an institution has always been bigger than an individual (Pachauri) and the TERI under the new leadership has consistently been contributing in the fields of renewable energy, water conservation and sustainable development.
Mathur, who has been a key climate change negotiator on behalf of India, said the cost of renewable energy was the "single biggest challenge" as the country moves towards meeting its target of having 40% clean energy in its total energy mix by 2030 as pledged in the Paris Agreement.
"Today we are committed to increasing the amount of renewable (solar, wind and bio-mass). But if renewable costs more than coal and its share increases in the energy mix, the price of electricity that you and I pay will also keep on increasing. So, it is important that the price of renewable has to fall and fall fast", said Mathur who was chief of the power ministry's Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) before taking over as the DG of the TERI.
How would India face this challenge and overcome the problem of pricing? "One is to continue with the current process of large competitive procurements. Once people (investors\manufacturers) know that you are going to have large procurement and it will keep on increasing then there will be investment in the capacity....it'll bring economies of scale. Secondly, technology development needs to move from the lab to the field and into commercial use, particularly the storage (of renewable energy) technology. If these two things happen then I think we can address the issue (of cost). It can be done and I am very optimistic about it", Mathur said.
Seventeen Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) - adopted by world leaders in September 2015 at the historic UN Summit - officially came into force on January 1. Accordingly, countries including India will have to mobilize efforts to end all forms of poverty, fight inequalities and tackle climate change over the next 15 years.
Asked whether India is on the right track to implement the SDGs, Mathur said the key issue at present was to measure the existing problems - be it poverty, housing, energy demand etc.
He said, "It is said what is measured is what is managed. The NITI Aayog and ministry of statistics and programme implementation have been in the process of measuring those issues (problems\demand\productivity) through the collection of data and its consolidation. The TERI has been contributing in this process".

Some fire departments raise funds by holding raffles, throwing parties, or simply collecting donations on the street, but the Holley Fire Department in Hazzard County, New York has more brutal ideas in mind. Later this month, firefighters there will be hosting their 8th annual "Squirrel Slam" -- a little-known fundraiser that's as sickening as it sounds.
For $10 a ticket, the fire department invites participants as young as 12 years old to grab their guns and indiscriminately shoot at squirrels for the chance to win firearms and cash prizes up to $200. Each resident is limited to blasting just six squirrels a day by law, so winners in the one day hunt are chosen by the total weight of the animals they bag.
A special $50 prize is reserved for the most successful hunter under the age of 15.
Although the small village is home to just 1,800 residents, more than 1000 tickets were sold for last year's hunt which easily killed hundreds of squirrels (though official records aren't made public). This year is expected to be no different.
Not surprisingly, the "Squirrel Slam" has its fair share of critics, including the journal Psychology Today which describes the event as "pure barbarism," particularly the encouragement for young children to join in the hunt.
Friends of Animals' New York director Edita Birnkrant echoes that concern, worrying that the celebration of the animal killings can desensitise kids to the horrors of gun violence.
"Our experiences protesting the event last year showed a sickening, gun-worshiping culture of adults, teenagers and children who celebrated the violence of mass animal killing -- cheering on the hunters as they waved fistfuls of dead squirrels in our faces and in the air, even plastered them on their cars, before they entered the fire house to weigh the corpses and win cash and gun prizes."
This year, around 100 protesters are expected to be on hand to call attention to the "Squirrel Slam" -- to which one Holley resident, identified only as Richard, offered this simple retort to the Hendrickson Post:
"This is our area. Leave us alone."

About CCNP™ certification:
CCNP - Cisco Certified Network Professional is an advanced level Cisco certification. Getting CCNP certified ensures that the candidate is knowledgeable to plan, configure, and operate routed WAN, switched LAN, and Remote Access networks using Cisco products. A CCNP certified professional is proficient and have working or advanced knowledge with TCP/IP, IPX, and AppleTalk network environments. The routing protocols covered under CCNP include RIP v1, RIP v2, IGRP, EIGRP, OSPF, IS-IS, BGP (both iBGP and eBGP), AppleTalk, and IPX routing. CCNP certified professionals can work with complex (100 - 500 nodes) LAN/WAN technologies including Ethernet, Token Ring, FDDI, X.25, Frame Relay, and ATM.
CCNP Practice Exam
CCNP™ constituent exams:
CCNP certification is awarded by Cisco® on passing four individual exams as below:
1. CCNP BSCI Exam BSCI 642-801, 640-901(retired)
2. CCNP Switching Exam
3. CCNP Remote Access Exam
4. CCNP Support Exam
Please note that the exam CCNP/CCIP BSCI Exam replaces the earlier
Routing exam
(640-901). The exam 640-901 is no longer available. Note that the exams BSCI 642-801 (old 640-901), Switching 642-811 (old 640-604), and Remote Access 642-821 (old 640-605) also count toward CCDP certification.
Alternately, CCNP can be achieved by passing the following three exams.
1. 642-891 Composite
The following track was available till recently and since been discontinued:
1. 640-841 Foundations Exam - Note that the exam 640-841 replaces the earlier
Foundations exam
640-509. The syllabus for 640-841 is cumulative syllabus of CCNP BSCI, CCNP Switching, CCNP Remote Access exams. Therefore, it is relatively difficult to prepare for the Foundations exam. Unless you have a good hands on experience with Cisco routers, switches, and access servers it is recommended to take individual exams. The exam 640-841 Foundations also count toward CCDP certification.
2. 640-606 Support Exam

No, not my after hours activities. Those are still a well guarded secret. No, I'm not telling you. I will not tell you in a box, with a fox, and do not tempt me with Courtney Cox, not if the fox were Courtney Cox. But since that is not the case, get away from my face. Yes, even Johnny Bravo is quotable.
My blog has been getting exposure. Yep! other people have actually realized that I exist. It's quite a shock for me as I did not think anyone (on earth) reads whatever I put on this blog. I do know that my trusted friends at that land where men are supposedly from do read it occasionally. They recently sent me a picture of their President receiving my RSS feed, which I thought it was only fair that I share.
I have been told that my blog has a calming effect, and such scenes have not been witnessed since they started picking up on my blog.
Instead, they have been working in a campaign to encourage me to move there
because they heard that I do 'go all the way.' No idea what they are trying to imply. Hey, I'm not easy, what give you the right....grumble grumble grumble.
I got a call telling me that some journalist would like to interview me in regards to my blog. Reluctantly, I agreed. I find questions like ' Why do you blog?' as irrelevant as 'Why do you sleep?' though I was very nice to her. The interview was shown on CNBC Africa. Another Kenyan blogger who was on the same show blogged about it and mentioned me over here. I will be posting an extract of that interview here soon (soon in Angel's language could mean years.)
JC (No, not Jesus Christ) picked me up too. I had no towel not did I raise my thumb, (if you don't know what that means go hang yourself. Seriously. Now!!) but somehow, she is featuring this fallen angel on her blog. I also noticed that Angelika has been visiting in the dead of night to peek at my codes!
So there, the Dark Angel has been getting exposure- of the good kind. If you've exposed me somewhere, let me know, I'll talk about you!
Almost forgot, I've also been exposed here!

Property: Admiralty Park Management Company Limited and Mr Olufemi Ojo [2016] UKUT 0421
This recent decision in the Upper Tribunal (UT) serves as both a reminder of proper procedure and a warning to practitioners.20th October 2016 Read more
Although Elizabeth has had broad experience in residential and commercial property matters, she has particular knowledge of service charge disputes and other issues arising from block management – from the point of the freeholders, managing agents and also residents. She also acts in neighbour disputes, anti-social behaviour and disrepair cases where she is usually instructed by the landlord.
London and Quadrant Housing Trust v Root (2005) HLR 28 — Having obtained a possession order in the County Court on the ground of nuisance, Elizabeth then successfully resisted the tenant's appeal in the Court of Appeal.
Flats at Atherton Court, Meadow Lane, Windsor CAM/00ME/NSI/2005 0001 — Elizabeth acted for a residents' association in which the cost of wholesale replacement of block windows (£300,000+) was found to be unreasonable and therefore unrecoverable as a service charge.
Contractreal Limited v Davies & Davies [2001] EWCA Civ 928 — The Court of Appeal accepted Elizabeth's argument regarding the need to give proper weight to the charging clauses of a lease when making a costs order.

I plan on adding an extra drain on my flat roof.
Presently I only have one and I find it's not enough. It's at the edge of roof .
Water tends to puddle in the middle not much slope on this roof.
I was thinking of adding another one to the center of roof.
Sincerely I plan on redoing roof it would be easier to slope all water there.
My question is a 2" abs drain pipe ok ? Or is there another type to use.
Does it need to be insulated ?
Thanks is !

Look How Police Proved They Were Real When They Unexpectedly Interrupted A Students' Group Chat
Photo: andrewmedina (Getty)
There are times where police don't do their job and actually let crimes slide. But then there are times where they do their job, and even put their lives at risk to save folks, just like this cop did when he tackled a bat-swinging maniac. And while most cops come across as uptight, some aren't, and actually go out of their way to have a little fun. Let us explain.
Recently, a 20-year-old student named Lawrence Court from Cardiff University in the UK, was having group chat with his pals when he received an odd message that stated, ""Hello, it's the police on Cameron's phone. He is very drunk and we are dropping him home."
Check out the message below thanks to Court's Twitter.
Now of course Court and his pals didn't think this was legit because why would a cop show up on a group chat? And more importantly, why would you torture yourself by entering a group chat?
"We naturally thought it wasn't real and that Ron (the guy involved) was playing us," Court told Mashable.
The skepticism continued…
And then this happened.
Here's a closer look.
That's right. This cop went ahead and sent a selfie with the most serious face known to man.
"When the selfie came through we were in hysterics, it was so funny!" Court recalls. "Then it was a case of making sure that he was okay so some friends went to check on him!"
So last night the police interrupted our group chat in the most spectacular way pic.twitter.com/prA8HfJOu8

The pals don't know what the cops did with Ron, but Court assumes they just "put him to bed and continued their shift."
Or maybe they did this:

Alex Cairns is Fleetwood Town's number one again and says his season of highs and lows has made him grow as a person.
Keeper Cairns was a clean sheet machine in Town's promotion chase last term, after usurping Chris Neal.
He started this season as first choice and a sublime triple save in the 1-0 win at Northampton earned him praise from Manchester Unite's David De Gea.
But as Town and Cairns' form went into a downward spiral, the Christmas defeat by Gillingham saw him lose his place to Neal.
That change saw a mini- revival but Town soon slumped and one of Uwe Rosler's last acts as Town boss be to restore Cairns to the starting line-up for the 2-1 defeat to Shrewsbury last month.
John Sheridan has stuck with Cairns for his first three games in charge, including Saturday's 0-0 draw at Charlton, the keeper's first clean sheet in the league since facing Blackpool in November.
Heading into tonight's crunch clash away to fellow strugglers Rochdale, Cairns said: "I think I've definitely grown as a person.
"I was fortunate last year – we had such a good run. This year I have had to become a man quicker than I have ever had to before.
"I've had to man-up and deal with things that I never thought I'd have to.
"It has been big for me and I'm looking forward to becoming a better player for it.
"Before I came to Fleetwood, I hadn't had a run of games in the team and I've had to realise quickly that not everything is brilliant and merry. You have to dig in and work hard, and we are doing that right now.
"Luckily this manager has put me in and I'm going to do my best for him. Being out of the team did not change my attitude towards the game.
"I've trained my hardest and worked hard to get back in. I know my standards. My form has not been as good as it was but it is a team game – we were all not good enough.
"Unfortunately I was the one who got dropped. Chris did really well when he came in. I just had to do my best to try to get in the team."
As for his time out of the side, Cairns said: "I spent a lot more time with the family. I'm from Doncaster, so I managed to get home a little bit more.
"I used that time to work harder on the training pitch. I look at every game – things I did well, things I can improve – and hopefully I can kick on.
"Every week is different and every one of us is doing our best to improve. Chris has been brilliant with me. We are good friends."

The journalist, the BBC's World Affairs Editor, disclosed he placed his London house in a Bahamas company controlled by his wife, Dee Kruger.
The arrangement, which is legal, meant he could avoid inheritance tax or stamp duty after a future sale of the home, which he bought for £1.85m in 2004.
Simpson, 67, told the Independent he had already decided to end the arrangement, and would place the house back in the couple's own names.
He told the newspaper he felt the move was "absolutely right", despite potentially costing him a six-figure sum in capital gains tax.
He said he had made the decision before details of tax avoidance methods were uncovered in a newspaper investigation, with comedian Jimmy Carr publicly vilified for his arrangements.
"I pay rather a lot of tax." Simpson added.
"It's absolutely right for a citizen of this country to pay whatever amount of tax, within reason, the government of the day feels is required.
"It's painful but I think that's part of the duties of a citizen of this country."
Simpson also spoke of the BBC's Queen's Diamond Jubilee coverage, acknowledging viewer's disappointment and criticism over it being lightweight.
He told the newspaper: "I missed David Dimbleby so much. I do find it a bit weird that we've got this state-of-the-art Rolls-Royce that for some reason we don't always bring out for these occasions."
Parliament has already launched an investigation into the growing level of tax loopholes, after evidence of their widespread use emerged.
The House of Commons Public Accounts Committee is to investigate the work of the taxman and how tax rules are being flouted by high profile Britons and accountants.
An investigation by the Times newspaper found dozens of wealthy people, including financiers, medical professionals, celebrities and footballers, continue to use avoidance schemes to reduce their income tax bills.
The tax affairs of Jimmy Carr and Gary Barlow were highlighted, causing a political furore after David Cameron called the comedian's tax affairs "morally wrong". Mr Carr has since apologised.
Last week, Simpson also disclosed he was "stockpiling pills", explaining he would rather commit suicide than have his son see him become a "gibbering wreck" in old age.
Simpson, who has a six-year-old son, said: "If it were me and I saw which way the wind was blowing, I would try and find a way of avoiding it.
"I'm already working on ways of ensuring that I don't end up dependent on someone else. I have a couple of bottles of pills handy. I'm not advocating it for anyone else.
"I don't want my 6 year-old son to have his only memory of me as a gibbering wreck. I'd rather take an early 'out' than just hang on for the sake of keeping on breathing and all the other bodily functions."

Electricity prices in Latvia are set to rise later this year, Latvenergo reports
Latvenergo is planning to push up electricity prices from 0.167 euros to 0.169 per kilowatthour (kWh) to most households in Latvia from April 1 this year.
The lower rate of 0.167 euros per kWh will be offered to clients who have registered with "e-Latvenergo" and whose average monthly electricity consumption is below 300 kWh. The 0.169 euro rate will be offered to households consuming less than 200 kWh per month and that have not registered with "e-Latvenergo".
Households that consume 200 kWh to 600 kWh per month will be charged 0.1635 euros per kWh, and households with electricity consumption of over 600 kWh a month will have to pay 0.16 euro per kWh.
At the moment, around 650,000 households in Latvia consume less than 200 kWh of electricity every month, as the company representatives have said. Latvenergo board member Uldis Bariss said the increase in electricity rates will vary for households, but households with low electricity consumption will have to pay about 5 euros more each month.
As reported, Latvia's electricity market for households will be liberalized from April 1.

Nintendo has some of the most recognizable music, not just in videogames, but in all of music. The Mario soundtrack, in particular, has melodies that transcend fandom. They've been translated and re-imagined in virtually every musical form, from the kazoo to a full symphony orchestra. However, few have tried to reinvent the full audio output of the original NES. For those who grew up playing the games, the beeps and boops that accompany actual play are just as recognizable and nostalgia-inducing as the music itself.
Now, an enterprising fan has found a way to interpret the audio from the original NES and play it with actual instruments. The creator used a new and unattributed YouTube account called Roboband. Not only do the notes come out of a player piano, a Yamaha Disklavier grand piano, but even the percussion comes to life in semi-real time. It's only semi-real time since there is a roughly half-second delay between on-screen action and instrumental output, but that's been removed when compositing the video.
The piano and percussion instruments are controlled by separate Raspberry Pi units running custom audio-translation software. The program listens to the audio from the NES and decides first which instrument is bets suited to recreate each sound it hears, and second how to create that sound on the chosen instrument. Once percussion is chosen, for instance, a sound can be played on either a drum or wood- block. When destined for the piano, the assortment of option is far greater.
One impressive thing about this setup is the fidelity of its recreations. Power-ups, in particular, are accompanied by notes played in very quick succession. The three-by-three rising scale that signals Mario has picked up a mushroom comes out perfectly.
The piano is controlled thanks to a built-in MIDI controller and Yahama's own mechanical solution for depressing the keys and pedals. However, the system controls the drumsticks with a more DIY solution. Simple coils of wire called solenoids become electromagnets when a current is passed through them. This causes a small metal slug inside to move in and out of the coil, producing the force needed to move the stick.

This was looking out my window. Pure ice baby!
But, when I saw this out the window, I decided I should probably just stay inside for the day.
I was talking to my roommate and telling her how I came to TN to get away from this kind of weather, so it's kinda disappointing. She said it's very rare. Of course it would happen when I'm here!
You better believe one way or another I will get to the gym today. I just might spend all day long there too.
Since I was stuck inside all day today, I had a lot of time to think. And I came to a decision about the Asheville Marathon. I decided I'm not going to run it. It's less than 4 weeks away, and with all the injuries I had to deal with recently, there is no way I could be ready for it.
So, I have set my sights on the Carmel Marathon. It was my very first marathon 2 years ago. Then I ran it again last year. It is still 9 weeks away, I know I can be ready. I'm going to keep training, keep losing weight, and keep praying for NO MORE INJURIES. I have now had to cancel 4 marathons, I will not cancel anymore!
And now for a pretty view outside my window, before the ice came.
Did you get some bad weather yesterday too?
I'm thankful we didn't get the 9" of snow that KY got!
Have you had to cancel a race before?
Who hasn't, right??

Today I get to let you in on a project that I have been working on with my friend Nick Thompson (The University of Gerogia) for the last several months. The project is the Teacher Casebook, a website that will act almost as an academic journal in the public sphere, inviting current classroom teachers to share their experiences through writing case reports to share with the world.
The project is inspired by the work Shulman and Colbert (1988) conducted in the late 80s/early 90s where student teachers and mentor teachers wrote case reports that reflected on their instructional practices and relationships in the schoolhouse. Their work, coupled with discussions with friends and family who are in professions outside of education, is our catalyst!
The Teacher Casebook seeks to build a repository of teachers' stories that are concise, powerful narratives that are couched in current education research. The research component is what is most important about these case reports. Teachers discuss and even write about their experiences frequently, but how often do we look at those experiences through the lens of research and what the field says about our experiences. Consider the benefits of finding cases that speak to your own experiences–the realization you are not alone and there others concerned or experiencing the same or similar schoolhouse moments. Consider the benefit of seeing that there is research to speaks to those moments as well. Consider how case report writing and reading are similar to what professionals in the medical and law fields participate in writing and reading. Consider being able to read and digest this kind of writing in mere minutes!
Each case is limited to approximately 1,000 words and is identified as either an Instruction-Type Case (experiences related to lesson planning, classroom instruction, pedagogical moves) or Relationship-Type Case (experiences related to interactions with students, parents, colleagues, and communities at-large). Currently, there are only a few cases written and available, but the hope is to grow the collection and push beyond language arts teacher contributions, creating a public, digital space for educators to seek out and share experiences connected to one another.
If you want to take a look for yourself, here's the web address:
And here is a link directly to a case I wrote as an example:
If you're interested in writing a case and being part of the project, click here: https://www.teachercasebook.com/submission-guidelines
If you want to learn more about the project beyond the website, you have a chance to see me and Nick present the project at the JoLLE conference in Athens the first weekend of February as well as see a roundtable discussion with a few of our original case writers at GCTE in Brasstown Bald the second weekend of February.
I also invite you to tweet at me (@theprofjones) or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Please spread the word! If you know a teacher who would love this sort of opportunity, pass along the information and share, share, share! We are out to create another professional development opportunity empowered by teachers and the research that speaks to teaching experiences.

PHOTO: Emily Ratajkowski Strips Down to Protest Alabama Abortion Bill
She, like many other female celebrities have voiced their displeasure with the bill that passed earlier this week. "This week, 25 old white men voted to ban abortion in Alabama even in cases of incest and rape. These men in power are imposing their wills onto the bodies of women in order to uphold the patriarchy and perpetuate the industrial prison complex by preventing women of low economic opportunity the right to choose to not reproduce..."
She took her protest one step further...
Not sure she made her point, but thanks for the photo!

Lazio captain Stefano Mauri cut a relaxed figure at his club's pre-season training camp in Auronzo di Cadore despite an ongoing investigation into match fixing which has the potential to end his career.
The 33-year-old is one of eight individuals facing a sports trial for his involvement in the Lazio v Genoa and Lecce v Lazio games in 2011, which are both under suspicion of being fixed. The midfielder is accused of being aware of an attempt to pre-determine the result without reporting the matter to the authorities, an infringement which could carry a suspension of up to five years.
Should he be proven guilty and the punishment be delivered in full, it would effectively sanction the end of Mauri's playing career, but he showed no signs of concern as he met the media in Veneto.
"I know what actually happened," he said. "I'm innocent and I've never broken the rules in this sport. We'll just have to see how the process goes, but I'm certain I'll be proven right in the end."
Mauri can continue to enjoy the unreserved support of the Biancoceleste fans, who once again displayed their affection with banners criticising the state prosecutor, Stefano Palazzi, and urging Mauri not to give up. He also has the backing of Lazio president Claudio Lotito.
"I'm not jumping for joy about this process, but in any case, I think the player will demonstrate his innocence," Lotito said.
Which all allows the attention to return to football and the 2013-14 season, when Lazio aim to be even more competitive both at home and abroad after winning the Coppa Italia, reaching the last eight of the UEFA Europa League and finishing in seventh place in Serie A last term.
"There's a group of strong sides behind Juventus - Inter, Fiorentina, AC Milan and us," said Mauri. "All I can say to the fans is to follow us and get a season ticket - this could be the year for us to finish inside the top three."
