In Focus: GLO
So...GLO. How many times have you come across this nifty-looking device on our site and wondered, "What is that? How does it work? Does it really glow??" I went behind the scenes with the creator of GLO, Dr. Jonathan B. Levine, to get the inside scoop. (By the way, I've tried it, and the blue glowing effect is pretty freaking cool.)
Talk about the science behind the product. How does GLO work?
GLO Brilliant's Guided Light Optics (G.L.O.) Technology uses heat-plus-light in a closed system mouthpiece—combined with our unique whitening gel formula and G-Vial applicator—to activate and accelerate teeth whitening results at home, without sensitivity. It's clinically proven to deliver a 5x whiter smile in just 5 days.
How did your background influence the development of the product?
I have 30 years of experience practicing aesthetic dentistry, and my wife and Chief Marketing Officer of GLO Stacey Levine brings over 15 years of experience as an entrepreneur in the beauty retail industry. Together, we have dedicated our lives to enhancing and perfecting the traditional oral care experience. GLO™ Science products are the result of years of scientific study and experimentation. By combining numerous patents with innovative dental technologies we continue to strive to create breakthrough professional techniques, and sleek, sophisticated at-home consumer and professional teeth whitening treatments.
So, why does it glow blue?
The GLO Brilliant® Mouthpiece builds Guided Light Optics (GLO™) Technology into its innovative design. The mouthpiece contains a molded flexible circuit with activating light and heat which, when placed into your mouth, accelerates the GLO Whitening Gel on your teeth.
What have you been working on innovating lately at GLO? Tell us about it!
GLO Solo! Our latest innovation, an affordable and easy to apply, anytime, anywhere whitening system. The best part? It takes just 60 seconds a day and empowers you with the confidence that comes with a flawlessly white and beautiful smile.
The GLO Solo system is clinically proven to improve the whiteness of your smile by 3-5 shades in just two weeks, and is designed to offer simple, quick applications for use at anytime and anywhere. Use GLO Solo once in the morning and once at night after brushing and flossing. With each use, you'll notice your teeth become whiter and brighter, and after two weeks, you'll see results that are definitely worth smiling about.
Do you use the GLO Solo in conjunction with the GLO device? Why both?
You do not use Solo in conjunction with brilliant. We developed GLO Solo as an on-the-go alternative option to teeth whitening strips. It is more affordable than the professional technology of GLO Brilliant, is effective and offers visible results when used as directed
Talk a little about your charity work. How did you get involved with Glo Good? In what capacity do you work with them?
Stacey and I first visited Rwanda two years ago as board members of Foundation Rwanda, and we were incredibly affected by the country and the people. We were also struck by the urgent need there for good oral health care. We were committed to returning to Rwanda to help address this need however we could, and that is how the GLO Good Foundation was born. We established the Foundation in 2011 in conjunction with Foundation Rwanda, and immediately set up clinics to deliver dental tools, provide education and treat urgent cases.
Moving forward, GLO Good aims to build oral health initiatives in under-served populations all over the world by providing the necessary tools such as toothpaste, toothbrushes, floss, and mirrors for oral cancer screenings, in addition to educating families on the importance of taking care of their oral health and training local dentists to facilitate the delivery of care when needed.

I've got the GLO system and really like it! My only complaint (somewhat minor, I know) is that it's hard to measure out the gel into 4 equal treatments. The ampoule is designed to be used up all at one sitting, which is fine, but for me, the first squeezing out is usually bigger than the other 3, so my last treatment is a little skimpy. It would be great if they put single treatment doses in teeny tubes so I can squeeze out the proper amount with no guessing. But it really does whiten my teeth and is easy to use, I hate the strips that migrate off my teeth after about 5 minutes. The gel tray is comfortable to use, though odd looking with the blue light in my mouth. Hubby has gotten used to seeing me sitting watching a movie with it in, though, so that's an improvement!
As for GLO good, I'm all for companies giving back, it's nice to know that underserved people are being helped by my purchases.
@prettyinpa - That's a good point, I hadn't thought about that. I wonder if it would be *too* small to squeeze out in 4 little guys? (Not to mention I would probably lose them, lol). But it does work! And there's no sensitivity, which is what I like.
I love the Glo company, their products and how they give back! My GLO system is amazing and I love how it doesn't cause any sensitivity to my teeth or gums. I also can't wait to try the GLO Solo and also the toothpaste and pen which I just recently got!
We actually just had a brand training with GLO a few weeks ago! We each got to test the device out for ourselves and saw noticeable results after one session (4 treatments in 30 minutes). I have insanely sensitive teeth. There were times that I would be in tears when it came time to have my wires changed. I also have two partial veneers and two built-in retainers (my smile has been through a whole lot) so I was kind of worried that the GLO system might irritate all of the additions to my teeth. I was informed by the rep that the brand is designed with those that have sensitive teeth, lumineers, veneers, and built-in retainers in mind.
I really like that the system isn't just specifically for one person. All you need is a secondary whitening tray to share the device.
I love that they give back! I really wish more companies did this as well. Developing good dental habits are important for one's overall health. Bad dental habits can lead to heart disease, diabetes, and gum disease.
@candace- I don't think that the amount for one treatment would be too small for a teeny squeeze tube, after all, some beauty treatments come in those odd little bubble looking things and there is only about a drop or two in each container. Even if they put it in one tube with 4 markings on the outside that indicates how much to use at a time, that would be great. I always feel like I'm wasting extra on the first treatment and not using enough on the last one. Picky, I know, but little improvements are really meaningful to me!
@prettyinpa - Little improvements are sometimes the most important ones! And I still think it's an excellent idea (which I'm totally forwarding along to the brand).
@prettyinpa and @candacebt I agree- a mini tube for each gel would be awesome so I know if I'm using too much or too little! As long as it could maybe be recyclable or compostable? or even if the original tube had little lines to go by (like a measuring cup) or would squeeze out by drops- haha I'm totally into this now!
@prettyinpa YES! That's an excellent idea! & a better container so the ampules last. I know they are supposed to be stored in the fridge, but mine still turned yellow after a few weeks in there. GLO was great about sending me a packing slip to return them & gave me a new set (whole process took a little while, but I did get them)

Arsène Wenger says he allowed Fabrice Muamba to leave the Club in order to help his career.
The 23-year-old spent five years at Arsenal from 2002 to 2007, but left to join Birmingham City before eventually moving on to Bolton.
Wenger says that while he rated Muamba highly, he decided to let him go for the good of his development.
"He had big players in front of him and it was very difficult to take them out and put Fabrice in at the time," he said.
"The second reason is that he is so highly motivated that I felt he was ready to play and needed to play.
"There always comes a moment in the career of a player that you play him now or you let him go. Because I didn't play him, I let him go but I knew he would have a career.
"I let him go for his benefit and he understood that very well. When he was at Birmingham he drove back many times and we had a little chat about how things were going. We felt attached to him because we wanted him absolutely to be successful."
Wenger says the tenacious midfielder has always seemed to have a point to prove whenever he faces Arsenal.
"Against us, he is always very keen to prove that we made a mistake in letting him go," he said. "He is always outstanding against us and I hope he will do that again soon.
"Today we are in a better mood than one week ago. I am not a medical specialist and do not know if he will play football again, but the most important thing is that he recovers completely. Afterwards hopefully we will have the joy of seeing him on the football pitch again."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Discussion in '2008 Playoffs' started by max, May 21, 2008.
WCF Lakers/Spurs Weekly coverage is going to be TNT for this series.
For real? Sigh.
Some of the Laker radio guys are nervous around here because everyone is favoring the Lakers and I can tell you there would be a panic if they were beaten in game one. But believe me they feel right now that lakers can blow out the Spurs in 5 Save this link to listen to their overconfidence either now or if we meet for the rematch. AM 570 KLAC K-Los Angeles California/Orange County
This is a great matchup. I think it's Kobe time. He'll step up and slobberknock the Spurs. The battle between Sasquatch and Timma should be decent, too. Lake Show in 7.
We'll see if Gasol is soft or not.
You mean Gasolft
I haven't heard that, but that's pretty good.
OMG, Spurs are so good. 57-43 SA, 3rd Q
Talk about an old team being tired, and they slept on a plane the other night!
NOW!! The next idiot that tries to give me 'goodygoody' vibes about these sorry Pistons, i'm going to choke them til 'I' pass out!!!! I HEART THE SPURS!!!!...EVA U CAN GO HOME NOW!
Lakers are back 73-65 Spurs
Twenty point lead trimmed by the Laker bench to single digits.....plus they know how to put a man under the hoop to drop buckets in point blank....if only we....
Unfortunately we don't have a Kobe, and Sheed's only Gasol, what, 25% of the time if we're lucky? The sad part is we don't even have a Lamar Odom. That's why we can't do what they do.
I know sad isn't .That means ifffff we get there we may be better off facing the Spurs. Right now I would take a Sasha Voulachic over Hayes
What a game.
Yeah, those PURRS sure showed them.... :D
This series is over now....Phil Jackson is 40-0 when his teams win the first game of a playoffs. I am not sure if the Spurs can recover, but they have six more chances... There is no way the Spurs or any defending champs should blow an 18 point lead in the middle of the third qtr??? Stern was rolling [strike]in his grave [/strike]on his big couch when the Spurs had that big lead. But per his directive to all refs, the home team won again and the number 1 seeds will meet in the finals. The Spurs panicked ..Manu choked with bad passes and bad shots. I won't be able to listen to the local radio as they will falling all over themselves as if they played... Not sure who was more upset tonight, the people in San Antonio or the people in Salt Lake City....home of David Archaletta
and the PISSSSStons showed what? Did we even have a lead of 5 pts or more...I'll see u after game 2...but out of respect 4 u , i'll stay out the chat. and u didnt answer my email..says a lot
I didn't get an email. PM me.
Spurs are an experience(frickin' old) team. After the grueling 7 games with the Hornets and with the 2 days off (including a day where they have sleep on the plane), fatigue has caught up with them in the 2nd half, esp the last quarter. Lakers who are well rested, hang around with them almost the whole game and finally hit them with jabs, hook and uppercuts and finish the Spurs off in the last 5 minutes of the game. This is the luxury that the Pistons had over the Celtics in game 1. But what did we do? Instead of hammering the Celtics, we got hammered instead. Well, blame it on being rusty in Game 1. As for Game 2, no more excuses. SHOW SOME HEART & PLAY DETROIT BASKETBALL!

How do I quickly prep my garage for painting my car inside it?
I'm going to paint my car for the first time. My garage is the only place I can think of that won't be windy or too cold. Where do I get a bunch of "garage masking supplies"? I don't even know what to ask for. Is it expensive? I don't want the paint that's in the air to get all over everything else in the whole stupid garage.
Clean the garage spotless and remove everything that doesn't need to be in there..within reason. you can use clear plastic attached to the ceiling with firring strips and secure it to the floor with tape. use the search feature on this site for more much better ideas on this subject. Might even be something in the Wiki link on here.
You can build a plastic sheet booth using common sense and materials you can get pretty much anywhere. For mine I covered the roof joist since I had insulation up there and secured the plastic by stapling through small pieces of cardboard so the staples wouldn't pull through. Duct tape will seal up the seams. The real challenge is finding a good way to secure the plastic to the floor. Duct tape usually won't do it because of dust on the floors, no matter how much you clean. They'll need to be weighted down along their length.
Buy a couple of box fans to blow out the door. Seal the entire door with plastic and cut holes and seal the fans with duct tape. On the opposite end mount a couple of central heat filters the same way. 3 box fans on high and three or more filters would be better. You'll need to generate a lot of air flow to move the considerable fog out of the work environment.
Tips learned from experience: You need a LOT of lights. Several multi-tube florescent fixtures at a minimum. Once you start spraying the fog will make seeing well difficult, and the better you see the better your work will be. Also the walls of a temporary plastic booth like this will bow inward when set up this way(with the fan blowing out, making a vacuum) so make sure you have lots of extra room when you build the booth size.
You can set it up where you put a filter on the fan and blow into the booth so it has positive pressure. This reduces the chance that dust is pulled into the booth by the vacuum. But I have always used the fan blowing out because it's been more important for me to get all the fumes out of the entire garage. I've had good results using temp booths. Also remember that most trash found in paint is from the vehicle itself, so clean and blow off with compressed air as much as possible before you start shooting color. This is one reason a lot of guys like to epoxy and shoot color all through the interior. Just to lock down sources of dust that might get airborne when hit with the blast from the gun.
Good luck.

This is how I did mine. It has a 900cfm variable speed fan set at about 75% of rated output in a window and a set of furnace filters to clean the inlet air. The ceiling and garage door were also covered while painting. The results was a 99% free of crud paint job, and probably as dirt free as many body shops.

Slightly different from those above...I used inexpensive plastic tarps from Fleet Farm. They are heavier weight than visqueen and don't tend to get sucked inward or move outward with the air pressure from the fans and the gun. They also come with grommets so they can be easily hung from the ceiling on hooks which can be left in place for the next time you need to have a paint booth. I also find that they do not require being weighted around the bottom edge. Note also in the picture the Jet air cleaner hanging from the ceiling. In addition to my intake and exhaust fans (I use box fans), I run the Jet on high to help filter the air during the shoot.
In this second shot you can see my "mixing table" in the background as well as a sheet metal box on the table which is for testing the gun pattern and making final adjustments to the paint flow before actually shooting the car. Also note the blue tarp taped to the floor which was an extra precaution because the car body was so close to the floor I didn't want to have any dirt from down in the surface of the cement blowing up into the paint. In addition, I opt to spray the floor down with a little water mist before shooting each coat. I use a small garden type insecticide sprayer to lay down the water. (Note: there are many who argue against using this technique, so keep that in mind.)
Final note regarding "stupid things we all have done". Don't EVER throw open your overheard garage door immediately after shooting. Let the paint dry first. Many a guy has opened the door only to have a cloud of dust and debris fall from the rails down onto a pristine paint job.
Always learning...and sharing what I've learned.

No one lives forever, the trick is creating something that will.
But --- whatever works for you to keep the dust off of the surface is the best way, regardless of how you choose to do build your "booth".

i got a new furnace this year and saved the big squirrel cage fan from it for this purpose.
but now that i'm thinking about it, is this going to be too much exhaust fan?
will it be windy in there, or does the fact that you've built a room with only the furnace filters for intake, keep it from getting to much airflow?
the reason i ask is because i use a similar furnace/fan screwed into the rafters for heat in the garage and when it is on it gets down right windy under it.
My garage was too small and crowded to paint in it. We built a outdoor booth in the backyard. Might be an option if you have the space. Ended up selling the canopy for what I paid for it. Worked really well and had no trash in paint.
Pictures and write up here if you are interested:

I just wanted to point out my biggest mistake when I first started. After a few tries, and lots of dust I realized the debris was coming from my hair. Like most people I thought a fancy paint coverall was to protect the user, not the other way around. Now with the coveralls I spend half as much time trying to get the room dust free, and concentrate as much on the vehicle, and myself being dust free. I even shower, and put on clean lint free clothing under the coveralls before painting now. You may notice that when you bend over in coveralls a whoosh of pressure will billow out of your hood, thats not good so keep clean even underneath.
Be careful with hanging plastic on the ceiling. Overspray and dust will stick to it and if slightly disturbed it WILL fall onto your project. I know from personal experience. Here are a few pics from my garage. I have a 24" fan built into the back wall. I typically clean the garage the day before and do my masking, then the next day, lighty blow the car off and tack and shoot. I still get dust, but it sand out. I'm always looking for tips on garage set-ups!
I typically remove any large items and then hang plastic around the compressor to stop any dust from flying off of it.
My fan. I built a box to hold filters infront of it. I have fresh air that enters from the other side. Although the fan can pull more air the can be supplied. I may install a window on the front of my garage come spring that I can slide a filter in. So I'm not sucking air through EVERY single crack in the garage and pullling dust.
13 hours later, lol
OMG what a hassle all this is!!!
The whole reason I want to paint my car at home is because I don't have a lot of time and money to spend on it!!! It looks like there is easily as much work just prepping the garage to spray than the actual paint job on the car! I had no idea this was all so involved. What about this: are there paint booths that I can just use once to spray my car in, so that I don't have to make one at home from scratch? I live in a medium sized town and don't have the room outside my house to spray a lot without it possibly blowing over to the neighbor's cars/house.

Not to shabby! looking forward to the weathering!
looks really great , very tough paint scheme to do i'm sure.
Thanks Beans!
looking sweet now!
Keep it up. Good job.
Nice straight, even lines. Pretty good so far!
Very Nice! Where did you get the aluminum parts? Does the beacon have a white light in it?
Thanks everyone!
The aluminum parts are from Bobamaker, who is awesome to work with! The light is an LED bulb. I have a couple that fit the beacon. (White, amber, and an RGB that's pretty sweet.) Here's a link to a youtube vid I shot of the working beacon. I have a beacon I bought from from Darkside that I would be willing to part with if you're interested. You would need to put a bulb assembly in it that you can get from Radio Shack. The beacon in the pics and vid are of that beacon. Shoot me a PM if you want it.

Good job man
Thanks man!

Just had another member contact me about my spare beacon so it's now been sold.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I didn't learn to snowboard till I was 42 and since my memory is going this will be my 5th year riding starting winter 13/14. The last 2 years I've been working on park and jumps.
As we get older the risk/reward IE mortg, wife, kids comes to the forefront more subliiminally than most people think. Especially for guys that start this sport later in life.
I to freeze up or last minute bail and this has both helped/hurt my park. I have started small and progressed and that helps a lot. With you having done much of this type of riding I think the skill will surface faster than you think and the fear will subside. You may still get that feeling but I'm sure you can work that out with practice.
I still get this feeling on the park jumps so I just keep hitting ones I'm comfortable on.
Like many said "F'everyone I'm having fun and doing it my way/style" Tryinig to be hip doesn't work for me... but I am hitting what I can, having a blast and I get tons of support from many of the park guys. Kinda getting known as the dad that rides park with his kids at our local hill.
So if I'm able to do it, I have no doubts with simple progression you will be boardsliding 270 off again next season and this post will have long been forgotten.

some background information to help you explain my situation.
5 years ago i was heavy into snowboarding. I was an intermediate rider, i rode a lot of park. Mind you i wasn't one of the best but i had a lot of fun jibbing, started of with 50-50's,backside boardslides and frontslide boardslides on boxes. Then i took to rails where i could manage to do 50-50's. Just your basic stuff, nothing fancy. Always had a blast with friends. All this at the age of 30.
Then adult life hit,bought a house, started my own business, kids..just the whole nine yards i guess. Been really busy for the past 5 years. Did not get to do a lot of snowboarding and the passion kind of fizzled out i guess.
So fast forward 5 years and this winter i went on a snowboard trip with friends. And during this trip i felt the urge that i had 5 years ago coming back again. I was getting stoked again to go snowboarding. I felt like a little kid again whenever i rode pow on this trip. We even did a park session, nothing fancy just a couple of ride on boxes and mellow jumps. I had so much fun, that i decided that i was gonna pick up park riding again.
And here lies my problem, i'm 35 years old now and wanna start riding park again after a 5 year hiatus. I struggle to find that comfort level of doing basic tricks like a 50-50 boardslide. My mind locks up when i approach a box and i can't even manage a simple boardslide. I just can't seem to get comfortable on boxes anymore. Are there any tips you guys could give me, specifically the older jibbers on the forum. Kinda curious to see if someone went to the same thing i did.
So for example, for 50/50s picture a section of snow on a flat green run and pretend it's a small box. Then approach it like how you would if that patch of snow was really a box.
Focus on a nice balanced stance, flat base and ride across that patch of snow just like you would if you were 50/50ing a box.
You can apply this same technique to build up confidence and learn basic spins before taking them to the park as well. It's all about building up your confidence piece by piece by understanding and figuring out the technique before you take it to the feature.
What Snowolf said is probably the biggest part of it, but I've seen people kinda "lock up" in fear when going into something either new or something they were previously injured on. Done it myself in fact after a bad injury. Biggest thing that helped me was breathing slow intentional deep breathes before and riding up to a feature. Some can get scared to the point they will hold their breath while hitting a feature, which can tense you up even further.
You'll get it back either way. I'm roughly your age (34) and still riding park with no plans to stop so don't let your age get you down. If wearing body armor helps with the fear then go for it.

The fact that I live in CO makes it so I don't have to ride park...If I lived in the east or midwest, I'd probably force myself to do it....
I usually find a young kid in the park and ask for some advice or just start riding the same lines and eventually he'll help me out with pushing me or giving advice. One kid this year talked me into the trees which I had no desire to ever try. It was the most fun I'd had snowboarding.
We ended up hitting most of the park features and I busted my ass on every one. Now that is what I want to work on most of next season. I'm sure I'll progress slowly since I have a job and responsibilities, but that thrill of stomping a trick, no matter how minor compared to expert riders, is totally worth the ass busting it took get it. I also bought a few park boards to try next season. Can't wait.

I'll add that hitting the park early (as long as it is not bulletproof) helps. Park rats usually sleep late... so you can have it to yourself until 11 or so.

I love to whatch the guys in the park while on the chairlift with a mixture of admiration and shudder
I'd never have the guts, even if younger.

|I'm 34, and know exactly how you feel. I ride at MTN High so I am almost forced to ride park. I took a really bad fall last year and it messed my confidence up. How am I starting to overcome the fear is to hit the lower parks early in the morning, before they get thrashed, and then if I feel up to it I would bring the same style to the uppper parks. In the mean time, I just work on buttering up the mountain any time in between.

- Board of Regents
- Administrative Council
Dr. Gary A. Ransdell was named the ninth president of Western Kentucky University on September 12, 1997.
Dr. Ransdell, received his Bachelor of Arts degree from WKU in 1973 in Mass Communications, a Master of Public Service degree in Public Administration in 1974, and a Doctor of Education degree from Indiana University in 1978.
Dr. Ransdell re-joined WKU as President after serving four years as Vice President for Administration and Advancement and seven years as Vice President for Institutional Advancement at Clemson University in Clemson, South Carolina.
His previous professional experiences at WKU also include service as a field representative in the Office of University School Relations from 1974 to 1976 and as Associate Director of Alumni Affairs from 1978 to 1981.
Dr. Ransdell became Director of Alumni Relations at Southern Methodist University in 1981, a position he held until 1987 when he was named as a Vice President at Clemson.
Dr. Ransdell and the WKU Board of Regents are leading the campus through a dramatic transformation from a university of regional importance to a leading American university with international reach. Since 1997, WKU enrollment has swelled from 14,500 to 21,000, and annual graduation numbers have grown from 2,500 to 4,200. The applicant pool has doubled to over 14,000 and student retention has grown from 67 percent to 76 percent.
A key element in the transformation of WKU is growth in private support. WKU completed its first capital campaign on June 30, 2003, with $102 million in gifts and pledges. A second campaign was completed on June 30, 2012, with $202 million in new gifts and pledges.
Another priority is a complete rebuilding of the WKU campus. Some $850 million in campus construction has been completed since 1998, with $60 million more under way in 2016, and $200 million on the drawing board.
Other measures of progress include a dramatic push in sponsored research, the growth of new degree programs in electrical, mechanical, and civil engineering, now with 750 students enrolled; four new doctoral degree programs in Education, Nursing, Physical Therapy, and Psychology; a new emphasis on the commercialization of intellectual property and the transfer of WKU technology to the Kentucky workplace; growth of the three WKU regional campuses in Glasgow, Owensboro, and Elizabethtown/Ft. Knox; the creation of the Gatton Academy of Math and Science, which is now ranked by Newsweek as the No. 1 high school in America three years in a row; Kentucky's only independent Honors College with enrollment of 1,400 high achieving students; expanded study abroad programs and 1,400 international students currently enrolled on the Bowling Green campus; and the state's first Confucius Institute and only Chinese flagship program. True to its plan, WKU has the largest number of distance-learning courses and the largest distance-learning enrollment among Kentucky's eight universities.
Dr. Ransdell and his wife Julie have been particularly engaged with students learning in other countries. They have traveled with students taking course credit in England, France, Italy, China, Ecuador, Africa, Scandinavia, and Iceland.
During Dr. Ransdell's tenure, WKU's athletic programs have won over 100 Conference Championships. WKU also leads Conference USA in academic performance. He served as President of the Sun Belt Conference in 2000, and completed in 2013 a four-year term on the BCS Presidents' Oversight Committee. Dr. Ransdell successfully negotiated a move to Conference USA in 2014. In 2014/15, WKU set a C-USA record with eight conference championships. WKU Football has won two consecutive bowl games and ended the 2015 season ranked #24 in the final AP poll.
Dr. Ransdell has chaired on the Board of Directors of the Louisville Branch of the St. Louis Eighth District Federal Reserve Bank, has served on the Board for the Bowling Green Area Chamber of Commerce, the Board for the Inter-model Transportation Authority of South Central Kentucky, and has chaired the Warren County United Way Campaign. Dr. Ransdell currently serves on the Board of Trustees for the Institute for Shipboard Education (ISE) which operates the global Semester at Sea (SAS) program.
Dr. Ransdell and Julie met, dated, and were married while at WKU pursuing their undergraduate degrees. They have two sons—Patrick, who graduated from WKU in 2002,; and Matthew, who graduated from WKU in 2006. Both Patrick and Matthew were lettermen with the WKU baseball team.
Patrick and Brooke (WKU '04) were married in August 2004, and are the parents of Walker and Collins Ransdell, WKU classes of 2029 and 2033! Matthew and Sandra were married in April 2014, and both practice law in Tampa, Florida.
Further evidence that Gary and Julie are "all in" for WKU is Spirit and Diddle, their yellow lab and English cocker spaniel!

Teach boundaries....do NOT create a monster by being afraid to set limits for her....if she has drive and you want to train, you will NOT kill that drive by not allowing her to maul you. I have raised plenty of pups that I do not allow to maul me who do quite well in protection work in spite of being corrected as a baby.
|We tried the toys over and over. We still do. Once she sees our feet, we can stuff all 60 of her toys in her mouth or dangle it in front of her and she has absolutely no interest in them.
|She only does this to us at home.when we are out shes good.
If your pup is grabbing ahold of you and hanging on for the shear enjoyment of the game, think of the total prey drive and focus your pup has! It has nothing to do with aggression, or the pup attempting to dominate or destroy you. At this point it has everything to do with nothing but fun for the pup.
You have to decide - do you want to teach your pup that you don't want to be the focus of it's world? Do you want to try to teach your pup that drive, confidence and focus aren't something you want from your pup?
I know that you certainly don't want mangled ankles. And putting it's teeth on you is not an wanted behavior. So you have to figure out, how do you encourage one but not the other?
I suggest you ALWAYS have toys on ropes (like a home made flirt pole) with you. Stash several around the house. When you are walking from one room to the other, drag one with you. Even if the pup isn't watching you at that moment. Encourage play with the toy and not you. Have stuffies, squeakers and balls all over your home. Stuff them in your pockets.
I have a high drive pup. I used puppets when he was a puppy. They allowed me to get physcial with him while I detached him from my leg...arm...hair..etc. I got him to focus on the puppet and not my body parts. And I encouraged him to use his drive during play. I dragged toys EVERYWHERE. I still have toys stashed through out my home. He is two now and when he begins to lose control he'll search for the toys himself and bring them to me. He doesn't put his teeth on me.
sometimes puppies who cling do it for reassurance as well....they are not comfortable with their world and the drive to bite gives them a kind of comfort....I have seen several pups that everyone thought were absolutely awesome because of this, but they had environmental weakness.....
If the pup is young...long walks are not so good for it....keep the exercise to a limited area...
Yes, if you can't redirect, scruff the pup....tell her NO firmly and sternly....
It WILL Pass eventually if you are consistant and firm....I assume your plans are for a companion puppy??? If you are planning to train the puppy, get help from whoever you will train the puppy with
|My female chewed a lot until around 5 months because she was teething but I just gave her bones and it was fine. She likes to try to chew on my wrists not and I stick my fingers down her throat (not to hurt, just to make her uncomfortable and I have my nails clipped short) and she figured out after about two days that she doesn't want to bite me anymore
|I do ipo, I also dont let my puppy bite me. Use a verbal warning if that doesnt work then scruff the pup off you and place it down. I play plenty of tug with my dog but do not allow her to bite me. Make it black and white here is what you bite here is what you dont bite. If you dont stop I will make you stop.
|I know there is already a bite inhibition thread, but from what I gather, its normal and everyone goes through it, but no one describes it like how I just realised its like in my case. I watched her great, great grandfathers video online winning the world schutzhund competition in 1998 and realised that our puppy is bitting us like that. I can literaly walk a mile with her Attatched to my ankle until I physically pry her jaws off me and immediately after I do, she instantly chomps back down on me. Im wondering if I need to see a doggie behaviourist.
shutzhund bitting
My 13 wk old is bitting like she in shutzhund competition. Nothing works. She just doesnt let go. There is absolutely no redirection what so ever. We are affraid she is going to tear us up if we dont get control of this.

How web video powers global innovation
TED's Chris Anderson says the rise of web video is driving a worldwide phenomenon he calls Crowd Accelerated Innovation — a self-fueling cycle of learning that could be as significant as the invention of print. But to tap into its power, organizations will need to embrace radical openness. And for TED, it means the dawn of a whole new chapter ...

Dirty South Dirty South Live at XS Nightclub
Born in Belgrade SFR Yugoslavia now Serbia Dirty South's producing career developed in tandem with his DJ'ing career. He got his start at the age of 13 after he relocated to Melbourne Australia where he currently resides. Influenced by everything around him the artist started improvising with his old NEC Hi-Fi and mixing with the tape decks and then started making bootlegs and mashups which eventually led to getting a computer software and keyboard that resulted in his first official production in 2004 as Dirty South. He used his family computer to create remixes and mashups of other artists' tracks and distributed them worldwide which caught the attention of Australian Vicious Vinyl records who signed him in 2005.

Hi everyone!
Ok, maybe I'm just being dense, but I've been looking for the reference pictures, and I thought they were in the "Wiki" section, but when I click on the "Wiki" tab, it just brings me back to the Forums page. I understand the site was being moved to a different server -- is this all done? Are the reference pics located elsewhere on TDH?

Before I started my Princeternship, my alumnus, Eckhart Richter '98, provided me with a few documents to read: one was an overview of his fund and the other was an article about how the financial system and macro economy fit together. This background was helpful in getting a better understanding of his work and allowed me to formulate a few questions that I had about the readings and the industry in general.
On the first day, I leisurely woke up at 10:00 am because Mr. Richter had a meeting in New York City and would not be back to his NJ office until 2:00 pm that afternoon. I appreciated the few extra hours of sleep, and the 35-minute commute from my house to South Shore Asset Management was quite painless. Upon my arrival, I was happily greeted by Mr. Richter.
We started the day by learning about his firm, particularly the details about the fund he manages and the interplay of the financial markets. Since I didn't have a detailed understanding of the industry itself, I learned a lot about asset management, differences between various funds and fund managers, and the financial system as a whole.
Tuesday, March 20, 2012
I arrived in the morning to begin my day with Mr. Richter, spending most of our time in his office where we discussed balance sheets and income statements of companies and how they were relevant to analysts on Wall Street. We went over in detail the components of these documents and the particular information that was used to extrapolate the investment value of firms.
We then went to lunch at a famous local pizzeria, where we had the chance to talk about his Princeton experience. Interestingly enough, we both had a common extracurricular activity in which we both had many stories to share.
The rest of the afternoon was spent asking questions and picking Mr. Richter's brain about his views on the financial industry. His insights and guidance were extremely valuable and helpful as he offered a perspective that focused on what is important in the "real world," rather than the abstract theories I learned in my finance classes.
Wednesday, March 21, 2012
The final day of my Princeternship was a little less structured than the first two days, and I had the opportunity to converse with Mr. Richter about his time at Princeton and his decision to start his own firm. We talked about his thesis, his college life without places like Olive's and Fruity Yogurt on Nassau, and his professional journey that led him to where he is today. I also enjoyed the opportunity to eat lunch with his wife and their one and a half year old son that afternoon.
Overall, taking part in this experience was both informative and enjoyable. I am so appreciative of the time he spent answering all my questions and making sure I was clear on all the concepts he taught me. His sage advice has not gone unnoticed. We definitely plan to keep in touch.

Discussion in 'Off The Beaten Track' started by shan, Dec 5, 2011.
So are we on time tonight?
eta: We're on time in NC!
The teams being dressed alike drives me crazy!
Boarders are in trouble.
ETA, now they're in 1st place. They are something else.
And we have the return of "rapido"....
It looks awfully dark in Panama.
That would be tough. I'm not afraid of heights, but that would be scary!
Interesting that they put the names of the team members that have to do the Road Block. I haven't seen that before. I would be if I had to do that tightrope walk. (((Sandy)))
I need to Boarders to not be so obnoxious. They have to make it to the finals.
Well, it is technically the right word to say. It means fast or quick. It is when they start the speedy gonzalez inpersonations that they sound ridiculous.
Barring some really bad luck, I think they will. They are fearless. I want Amani and Marcus to pass Jeremy and Sandy.
Well yeah I know it's correct and what it means. I was remembering how some teams have said "rapido, rapido" in every country.
I thought Marcus made a bad choice, but it seems he made the right one. Good for them. Run Marcus and Amani run!
Dear Lord, the Boarders are going to blow this....
Oh man! The snowboarders are screwed by not being with the pack. At least they have a boat load of prizes...
Big time. They screwed up badly. Best racers and they are going to crash and burn.
Talk about a nailbiter.
I just wonder if someone's going to be able to figure out the dress without alerting the other teams. The boarders *look* screwed but if they go straight back maybe they had enough time?
the curse of Prancer strikes again.
I hate that damn deer.
ARGGGGHHHHHH Jeremy and Sandy figured it out
Oh good! Everyone else thinks balboa too! Come on boarders!
Tough clue...I like it. I bet they didn't think it would be this hard...once they highlighted it, it was so obvious.
Oh wait, Cindy's cab driver just said the right place. How did they get that? They thought balboa...
Noooooooooooo the cab drivers are taking them to the right place. ((((((Borders)))))
Damn Invisibles made the finals. Unbelievable.
I was afraid of this, they highlighted their obnoxiousness at the tight rope. At least they won the Mustangs.
Oh crap, I hope this is a NEL!
ETA - and it wasn't. Bye boarders. You were until you went to the Panama Canal.
How in the world did that happen? Two of them told the cab drivers the wrong place!
These three teams really seem to like each other, so I'm happy for them.
The cab drivers all radioed each other. I'm thrilled for NFL, but gutted for the Borders. That was the really bad luck I worried about.
But how did the cabs know which of the two places was right? In most circumstances I'd be pissed if my cab took me somewhere I didn't ask.
They knew they were on the show and the driver who had the Invisibles radioed the others. They all knew where to go. In a way, it's sort of unfair, but that's the way TAR works sometimes.
The Borders really were the best, but the Prancer curse brought them down. She better not pick NFL to win next week.
I hate how they were eliminated
I hate the the pack mentality won again. I know that they didn't necessarily all choose to bunch up together, but....
I suppose it worked out, but what if the invisibles were the ones who were wrong. How did the cab drivers decide between old city and the balboa statue? It doesn't make sense for the cab drivers to redirect themselves.
I just realized almost everybody picked the Borders this week but ME I just moved up a spot. Thanks Tommy and Andy. Glad you won the cars and all the trips.
Jeremy showed his driver a picture of the ruins and that's how he knew the right place.

President Nicola Sarkzoy and Prime Minister Gordon Brown announced a joint British/French fund to improve education for over 16 million children in Africa by 2012. The two leaders discussed a range of topics including consruction of more nuclear facilities in Britain by the French utility company, EDF and a conference for non-nuclear nations interested in developing civilian atomic programs. Their meeting may well mark the birth of a new French/British axis in the world. Sakozy addressed Parliament and outlined ways in which the two nations could become a force for peace in the world. He also promised to reform the Agricultural Program which has been a major British concern for years.
The French president also urged the two nations to work with America and persuade that nation to become more environmentally pro-active. Sarkozy's talk deeply impressed many members of Parliament and pointed the way to a new era of cooperation between the nations.
The world is witnessing the emergence of new power configurations such as a British-French alliance as well as France's alliance with Germany. One can expect in the coming years these nations will become an unoffiical bloc exerting pressure on the United States. Senator McCain has already indicated if he is elected president there will be a new American desire to seek cooperation with the world and abandon the unilateral philosophy of George Bush who wants to be the decider-in-chief.

we shot some video of the 100 mw green laser, the video is not that good but you can get an idea of how it works.

we shot some video of the 100 mw green laser, the video is not that good but you can get an idea of how it works.
Is this an American Made Green Laser , or are they imported?
I was wondering because I thought that the FDA made it illegal to import any laser greater than 5 MW.
5 mw can be a 20 mw or a 100 mw by changing the load limiting resistor.
Pretty sweet.
Show me how Gunny!
I bought one of the 200W green Chinese lasers out of Hong Kong. It will light a match from 6 inches away no problem and would go right through my finger if I had the balls to hold it on my skin that long . I don't. What good that does me I don't know.
cant see video
Can't see the video either.
From my experience in Iraq, I don't care for lasers.
Lasers work both ways. Everybody (the enemy) can see your beam, and they are going to fire at the source of the beam, which is YOU.
There's no better way to reveal your position than a nice bright trail of light leading back to YOU. Granted, you might get the guy your aiming at, but his buddy is going to take his wrath out on your "Shoot this way" gizmo.
There was a site on YouTube that showed how to make a 5mw into a 20
That was about a year ago.
I have never used a laser in combat, but I have played around enough with them to know that anything over 25mw will leave a trace through any dust, moisture, mist, etc.
If I was to consider using a laser, it would have to be with a pressure switch so that I could control the emission and limit my own exposure. I agree with the Iraq Vet who dislikes them for this reason, they can be a curse to the user as well. I do love them for range work....but I find that I become dependent on them for quick-shooting drills. So, as much as I like the lasers, I do not use them.
I have heard that some company is making an "invisible" beam unit for limited issue that requires a special set of glasses. But I would bet that those glasses could be procured by our enemies if this type of unit were widely issued. Simple threat-counter threat.
Too Bad.

Reviving the Piscataqua River Wherry
By LARISSA MULKERN
Special to the Union Leader | May 21. 2013 9:05PM
Custom made in New Hampshire — with New Hampshire wood, New Hampshire history, and New Hampshire craftsmanship — could be the label on a nearly completed boat that students at The Community School in Tamworth will complete this semester. (NextWave Boat Shop)
"Boat building, as a vehicle for teaching and education, develops hand skills and enhances cognitive ability," he said, "but there's an aesthetic component."
Burke chose the Piscataqua River Wherry design boat in part because it is indigenous to New Hampshire's Seacoast and its design was adapted for the local river conditions.
Burke hosted a tour of the boat workshop Monday at The Community School, with some of the students, including Marianna Palladino, 13, brother Noah, 15, and Fenton Varney, III, 13, all of Tuftonboro. One unusual aspect of this particular class is that the wood — a strong Pine tree from the Eaton Town Forest — was custom chosen for this project.
Burke said New Hampshire, due to weather and other conditions, has some of the strongest pine in the country. The class looked at hundreds of trees before they chose a pine that was milled and prepared for the boat project. The boat measures 16 feet 6 inches in length. Using "classic" boat building techniques, the boat will take between 250 to 300 hours to build. The class began in January.
"I never thought I could do something like this," said Marianna.
"It's nice to learn a new skill… I had no experience with tools but after a while I started to enjoy it. It seems like second nature," she said.

olson sundberg kundig allen architects, seattle
Necessity may be the mother of invention, but in the hands of Tom Kundig, FAIA, rudimentary solutions become bold and celebratory. The latest example of his trademark big thinking is this artist's studio in Seattle's patchwork Pike Street corridor. The client, a painter and printmaker who lives nearby, wanted a flexible workspace where she could also host cultivation events for art venues. Kundig thus preserved the building's weathered roughness while fabricating floating elements that can change the shape and use of the room. Four white dividing walls slide or pivot as needed to control light and circulation; they also provide places to hang the art and study it in different kinds of light.
All of the furniture has wheels for easy rolling, but the pièce de résistance is a 26-foot-long table, live-cut from a Douglas fir tree. "The table is a wink and a nod to the character of the space," Kundig says. Set on steamroller-type wheels welded from steel pipe, the table spends most of its time near the kitchenette as a work/dining surface, but it can also be wheeled out grandly for movable feasts.
The judges thought the architect's ideas, including the entryway clad in mild steel, were terrific. "The whole thing is flexible, and I love the materials," raved one judge.

i went, i ran, i conquered
i have not visited for a while, been real busy for a retired guy and i am also experiencing some scary health problems. i have had enough of those in my life, but i am very blessed to still be hotroddin. if any of you remember i was going to maxton airfield, nc. in sept. to landspeed race on the maxton mile. to make a long storey shorter, i made three run on sept.24, starting at 123.4 mph and the last being 125.6 mph. i did this just to prove that i could as part of my ongoing recovery from a heart attack followed by three strokes. i was told at the speed slip pickup area that i was only less than one mph from breaking the track record of a/pp which was two classes up from me. i did not know of anything else i could do to my 5340 lb. ss silverado truck to go any faster. i also found out you could take a chance and move up in class but not down. anyway i was not going back to the oct. meet, which would be the last maxton mile event ever held as the ecta is moving to wilmington, ohio next spring. then on sunday before the weekend of the meet my 14 year old grandson says "paw paw, i do not have a ballgame next weekend and why don't you go back to the maxton mile next weekend and break that record. after scurrying and scrambling to make all of the necessary arrangements i went back and after two runs on saturday and one last try at 8:15 am. on sunday I DID IT. i ran 127.999 mph due to some old time hot rod ingenuity. it set the new track record to be held forever in a/pp. there are a lot of faster classes and records but none of them could be anymore satisfying than mine. i did not realize the list of cars I HAVE OWNED was to be total and not current. due to my memory loss my brother has been helping me make a list of all of my cars and fortunately i made pictures of most of them. i will list them another time since i have gone long. garrell.770

currently have a bad black, low mile 98 corvette, a badder black 2003, low mile SS silverado truck that i will run the maxton mile with at the end of sept. and my 1939(it is not a rat rod) chevy truck with a built 350, 350 turbo, painted hot rod primer with flames, chrome headers and a chrome old style air scoop. the 39 does not have power steering, brakes, no ac, it is a handful to drive but i love it. deuce, if you are listening you have one year on me. i hope your health has been better than mine the last twenty years, i could have done so much more. i would bore you if i told you about my nascar connection and some of the street machines and muscle cars i have owned over the last 24 years. i also do not have the means or knoewledge to show pictures. i hate to go to maxton and not know if i am going to go into high gear with the 4l65 at wot. thanks for the opinions many of you have offered. what if i got up to about full speed but kept the accelerator off the floor, would that help? garrell.770

My wife is a second year oncology fellow and I am an MD who, in my goal of being a life-long student, has decided to get my PhD as well. My first two years as a graduate student in the Denis Wirtz lab were relatively uncomplicated in terms of devoting ample time to research. My wife worked long hours at the hospital, allowing me to work long hours at the lab. But I guess you could say that the work-life balance changes dramatically when you add a child to the scales.
Suddenly, the demands of life become significantly greater and more pressing and gone was the ability to work long hours in the lab. I remember the days of not lamenting my wife having to work the weekend because it meant I also got to go into lab and get some work done. Now, my wife working on the weekend means I am responsible for our little one and it is difficult to get work done when you are looking after a rambunctious 1 year old. The same holds true when my daughter is sick. While I envisioned a quiet day at home as she slept off her virus, instead I am chasing a rambunctious, fussy 1 year old.
I have often found that as I add more demands to my schedule, I respond by becoming more efficient with my time. That certainly has been the case in getting work accomplished now. Often having to pick my daughter up from daycare means I can no longer stay late in lab. And weekends are often devoted to family time. This has required me to take extra care in planning experiments and allocating time for data analysis. I am still able to get the work done but I can no longer blindly set up multi-day experiments. Instead, each week is planned out more thoroughly in advance, coordinating schedules with my wife.>
But in the end, all of the extra effort, coordinating, and busy times are well worth it. Having a daughter reminds me of the goals in life to accomplish. Even though my priorities have shifted and work is no longer at the top, it is still an important facet of life. It just now has some company.
Zev Binder is an MD and a third-year graduate student in the laboratory of Denis Wirtz, working on a new model system for the study of brain tumor cell motility.

text: Yes, this has been brought up on Friends and Everybody Loves Raymond, but here goes... I absolutely hate being cuddled when I'm trying to sleep. It just makes me stay awake. The other day I had to get up early for a really important work day. My boyfriend and I went to bed around 11:30 the night before. He fell asleep quickly, but it was taking me longer because he was snuggled up to me. I tried to break away and actually did. After about a half-hour I was just about to drift off to sleep, when he suddenly rolls over and puts his leg over mine. So I'm lying there for another hour, attemping to get free without waking him up. I manage to get onto my side and am just about to drift off to sleep, when he turns and puts both arms around me. Wide awake again. This went on until 3:30 in the morning (I had to be up at 6:30). Finally I got out of bed, took a blanket and curled up on the living room couch. Managed to fall asleep by about 4:00 a.m. Boyfriend wakes up @5:30, comes out and asks me why I'm sleeping on the couch (depriving me of even more sleep in the process). He acts apologetic and hurt and wants me to come back to bed, so I do. He falls asleep immediately and starts the cuddling again. I ended up with about two hours of sleep, with a 12-hour day ahead of me requiring a tremendous amount of mental (and a fair amount of physical) energy. I got through it, but it was VERY tough and not pleasant. We haven't fought over this or anything, in fact he felt really bad about it the next day. But this has to stop. I just need to get some SLEEP! Can anyone else identify?

MESA, Ariz. - A three-run homer by Erin Satterfield gave Carolina the 7-4 win over Binghamton on Sunday, as UNC closed out play at the Wilson/DeMarini Invitational. The Tar Heels went 4-1 over the weekend, including beating No. 20 Baylor on Friday.
In the second, Kristen Brown singled to left and advanced to second on a groundout before scoring on Jenna Kelly's single.
The Bearcats' Bump singled to left and advanced to second when Harbaugh reached on a fielder's choice. Cadogan then doubled to left to drive in Bump to tie the game at 1-1.
Amy Nece singled on a bunt and then scored when Kelly hit a double to center, giving the Tar Heels back the lead at 2-1. The next inning, Erin Satterfield singled to right before Constance Orr hit her second homerun of the weekend over center to put UNC up 4-1.
Binghamton put up a fight in the sixth, getting three runs on three hits. McIntosh drew a walk to lead off the inning, and Kane advanced to second on a single by Cadogan while pinch running for McIntosh. Chaffee then doubled to left to drive home Kane before King doubled down the left field line to score Chaffee and Cutrona, who was pinch running for Cadogan.
With the score tied at 4-4, Tisha Mahon singled and then stole second before advancing to third on a single by Elisha Elliott. Satterfield then smashed the game-winning three-run homer to left center to secure the Tar Heels' fourth win of the weekend.
Lori Spingola (9-4) had nine strikeouts in 6.2 innings, giving up five hits and one walk.
The Tar Heels return home this week, hosting USC Upstate on Wednesday at 4 pm before their ACC-opening series with Boston College next weekend.

text: I'm interested in buying an OM Match target revolver in .22rf that is in very good to excellent condition. Box and papers would be nice but not required. The revolver will be used in Bullseye matches. What can I expect to pay for a revolver in said condition? Thanks for all inputs and opinions.

'See, you can't fool Buffalo fans. The Sabres have a 16-14-6 record since Jan. 9. They have seven wins in 20 games over teams that were still in the playoffs Tuesday night. We're not talking about a little hiccup here. Thirty-six games is a large enough sample size, especially in the second half of the season, to create doubt.'
No giddiness for Sabres or the fans
