Mother of Missing Palm Springs Man Pleads for Public Help
No leads in the Spencer Karas case
PALM DESERT, Calif. - If you've traveled on the westbound 86 Expressway, near Dillon Road, you may have spotted a new billboard, with a mother's plea for help. The case of a missing Palm Springs man remains a mystery, nearly 4 years after his truck was found abandoned, in a Thermal orchard. Marina Karas of Palm Desert tells us, "I would say that he gave me the best years of my life and I gave him the best years of his life and now it's over."
Karas had nothing but high hopes for her 21 year-old son, Spencer. She says, "To be successful, married, children. To be happy and safe."
Almost 4 years after the last time she saw him, she remembers him everyday, with a flickering candle and pictures that rest on the piano, he once played. Karas says, "His music was beautiful. He took piano lessons for 7 years and he liked the guitar."
But she says Spencer's focus shifted, once he lost his job at his church. "They had a cutback and that devastated him. And he felt left out an started going into a downward spiral."
That lead to to a path of substance abuse and hanging out with the wrong crowd. She says, "It started out with alcohol and then he got into drugs."
Karas says Spencer got into dealing drugs, when he disappeared on June 30th, 2008. His truck was found in the middle of an orchard, in Thermal. His keys, wallet and credit cards were all left inside. Since that day, Marina tells us she has received very few leads. She says, "I've only gotten two. The one boy came to my door around august and he said you know that Spencer was killed. He was shot in the head. And I just went into shock."
Sgt. Mike Kovaleff of the Palm Springs Police Department says, "We have individuals who probably have information but unfortunately they're reluctant to provide it. We keep asking them and the refuse to provide any information."
Marina says her heart tells her that her son has been killed. Not a day goes by when she doesn't wish the phone would ring with new information. That's why she has put up the new billboard, hoping someone makes the connection, picks up the telephone and gives her the information she so desperately is searching for. She says, " I want answers and I want his body, what's left of it. If it's since '08 and it's bones, then I would love to bury my son with dignity."
Until someone does reach out with a vital piece of information, Marina is left with only one thing to do. She says, "I just wait. I keep waiting."
Back in December, a hiker found skeletal remains, in the hills off of South Palm Canyon Drive. At first Marina thought they could be Spencer's, but the police department has since informed her that it's not likely, since the bones are around 10 years-old.
If you have any information on the Spencer Karas case, please call the Palm Springs Police Department at 760-323-8116 or call Crime Stoppers at 760-341-STOP.

Michigan Athletics H.A.I.L. Program
ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The University of Michigan athletic department announced today (Thursday, Aug. 23) a new student rewards program, which will provide added benefits to Michigan students who regularly attend Wolverine sporting events.
Honoring Attendance, Involvement & Loyalty (H.A.I.L.) , presented by Flagstar Bank, is a free program for all students currently enrolled at University of Michigan designed to reward attendance and support of Michigan Athletics. Students enrolled in the H.A.I.L program will earn points for each event they attend and have the opportunity to collect rewards as they hit designated point thresholds.
"We wanted to develop a unique way to honor students for their unwaivering support of Michigan Athletics and we see the H.A.I.L program as a fun way to do that" said assistant director of marketing Angela Thick. "This program allows students to accumulate points throughout the year and have the chance to collect some great rewards along the way."
As members accumulate points during the year, they will have the opportunity to claim varying types of rewards. Rewards will include items such as officially licensed adidas gear, food discounts, cash prizes, a year's supply of Coke Zero, student season tickets, exclusive Michigan Athletics experiences, and more.
Students will have the opportunity to sign up for H.A.I.L. by downloading the free mobile app on their iPhone or Android device, or by visiting the H.A.I.L station at any home event. Members of the program will then "check in" to all home events that they attend using the mobile app or H.A.I.L station iPad, and will accumulate points based on meeting the required criteria. Students who check in will automatically earn two points for most events, with the exception of football, men's basketball and ice hockey. In order to earn the full two points for those three sports, members must check in at least 20 minutes before the scheduled start time or earn just one point for that event. Select events will also be chosen throughout the year as "Bonus Point" opportunities, allowing students to earn extra points for attending key games.
For more information on this H.A.I.L initiative, please visit Michigan Athletics H.A.I.L. Program.

- Great Bourbon!
I found this is in Kentucky years before you could by it out in California. Still one of my favorites! Very smooth and tasty, I just use 1 ice cube and that's it.
How do you rate this?
- Great price great bourbon
This bourbon is great. Good price, great flavors a must have.
How do you rate this?
- Descriptor is on the money
Slight vanilla, hearty oak. A nice break from sweeter bourbons. Maybe a sight bit under 4 stars...on a 10 scale I'd call it 7. Good but not unforgettable from one who never, ever mixes. This would be on my "mixer shelf" while I give preference the likes to Four Roses Small Batch in this taste profile. To be fair, it does get better as it oxidizes so definitely let it breathe!
How do you rate this?
- Well appointed Chevy bourbon that runs well with the Buicks.
An excellent bourbon with a full 90 proof. Well matured flavor without excessive oak or sweetness. Not really a premium bourbon, but definitely a better daily drink than the well known national brands.
How do you rate this?
- Beauty of a Bourbon
This here bottle of delicious Whiskey is the perfect drink after a long day at work, school or just to relax. Tastes amazing all alone and lends itself exceptionally well to ginger ale and cola both. Have no reservations when purchasing this bottle, it will be a go-to for sure.

Cannon Township has been chosen to be part of the Wetlands Local Assistance Pilot Program through the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and Environment (MDNRE). The goal of the pilot program is to increase the efficiency of the wetland permitting process through local and state resources in order to protect the wetlands of the state.
The township is one of only three entities chosen by the state to participate in the pilot program. The other two entities chosen are Michigan Association of Conservation Districts on behalf of Calhoun, Delta and Muskegon County Conservation Districts and the Thumb Land Conservancy of St. Clair County.
Cannon Township Watershed Administrative Assistant Kim Sapkowski applied for the program in December 2009. She was notified of the township's acceptance into the program on February 23, 2010.
"Cannon Township has been a state leader in watershed conservation," said Sapkowski. "Participating in this pilot project will allow the township to partner with the state of Michigan to not only streamline the wetland permitting process, but to educate our citizens about wetlands and the importance of protecting them. It is our goal to show other communities that local wetlands protection can be done."
The township's Wetlands Ordinance protects wetlands in Cannon Township that are less than five acres. This is important, because the MDNRE only regulates wetlands that are more than five acres in size and/or are adjacent to a body of water.
"Wetlands control flooding, filter storm water run-off, recharge groundwater [drinking water], and provide habitat for Michigan's native plants and animals," commented Sapkowski. "Wetlands are one of the most complex ecosystems in the world; most of a wetland's function and ecosystem goes unseen by humans, but is nonetheless very important."
MDRNE's Amy Lounds is preparing the final outline of the program, which will run until October 1, 2012.

Download it from the Visual Studio Gallery.
Despite Visual Studio not being loaded (or required) in command-line mode, projects can now act as the source/target for comparisons (in addition to databases).
This is useful for automated builds, which get the latest version of files from source control.
The project path is stored in the BSMN file. It can be changed by editing the file.
<ComparisonInfo xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<ProjectFile>C:\Users\wade\Documents\Visual Studio 2015\Projects\TabularProject1\TabularProject1.smproj</ProjectFile>
Default values for the target server and database are based on the selected source project's deployment properties, and the current Visual Studio configuration. Selecting a different source project (or re-selecting the current one) resets the defaults.
March 19, 2016 Leave a comment
Download it from the Visual Studio Gallery.
Run BISM Normalizer from the command line passing the BSMN file as an argument. This allows integration with automated builds.
BismNormalizer.exe BsmnFile [/Log:LogFile] [/Script:ScriptFile] [/Skip:{MissingInSource | MissingInTarget | DifferentDefinitions}]
Full path to the .bsmn file.
All messages are output to LogFile. If the log file already exists, the contents will be replaced.
Does not perform actual update to target database; instead, a deployment script is generated and stored to ScriptFile.
/Skip:{MissingInSource | MissingInTarget | DifferentDefinitions}
Skip all objects that are missing in source, missing in target, or with different definitions. This is in addition to the skip actions already defined in the BSMN file.
It is possible to pass a comma-separated list of multiple skip options. For example, "/Skip:MissingInSource,DifferentDefinitions" will skip all objects that are missing in source and those with different definitions.
The /Skip argument can be used for automated merging of branches. For example, by setting /Skip:MissingInSource, it is possible to create/update new/modified objects in a primary branch, without deleting existing ones.
The following example updates the target database, logging progress and error messages for later review.
BismNormalizer.exe TabularCompare1.bsmn /Log:log.txt
The following example does not update the target database. Instead, a script is generated and progress is logged.
BismNormalizer.exe TabularCompare1.bsmn /Log:log.txt /Script:script.xmla
The following example updates the target database and progress is logged. None of the objects missing in source are deleted.
BismNormalizer.exe TabularCompare1.bsmn /Log:log.txt /Skip:MissingInSource
BISM Normalizer in command-line mode does not automatically set passwords for impersonated accounts. They need to be set separately, either manually or securely as part of a build. Processing also needs to be set up separately if required.
BISM Normalizer currently only supports standard VSIX deployment from the Visual Studio Gallery. BismNormalizer.exe is located in the extension directory, which looks like "C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0\Extensions\XXX\", and is shown in the log file produced by the VSIX installer (link available on the installation complete dialog). The executables can be copied to another location using XCOPY deployment.
To enable this feature, ensure the include cultures check box is checked.
Comparing cultures works similarly to comparing perspectives. Both have a merge option. This allows existing translations in the target culture to be retained. See this post for more info on merging perspectives and translations.
The JSON order of translations in the source/target text boxes is honored from the BIM file/database definition. In some cases they may have different order, but still considered equal since the JSON order doesn't affect translation functionality.
March 19, 2016 1 Comment
When merging models, it may be useful to create selections from a source perspective without losing existing selections that were already there in the target.
The same applies to translations for a culture.
Consider the following comparison taken with the merge perspectives option checked.
Note that the differences in the target object definition are highlighted in grey instead of the normal red. This is to indicate that they will not be removed.
After applying the update (assuming FactRate is still in the target database) and re-running the comparison, the following definitions are displayed.
For the purpose of the comparison, the definitions are considered the same because an update would have no effect.
However, if the merge perspectives option is unchecked and the comparison is re-run, the definitions are considered different as shown below.
A subsequent update will remove selections for the FactRate table.
This works basically the same way for cultures. When the merge translations checkbox is checked, existing translations will not be removed. Different translations for an object property that is both in the source and target cultures will be overwritten.
February 11, 2016 3 Comments
This is a major new version of BISM Normalizer. It can be downloaded from a different Visual Studio Gallery page. It will run for free till December 31st 2016.
Visual Studio 2010/2012/2013 (SQL Server 2012/2014) are not supported by BISM Normalizer 3. For these, you can still use BISM Normalizer 2. See the Purchase page for more info on version compatibility.
SSAS compatibility levels 1200, 1103 and 1100 are all supported.
Like SSDT, processing options include "Default", "Do Not Process" and "Full". There is also an option to process only the tables affected by the comparison (Create and Update), to avoid unnecessary processing.
When deploying to a database (not project), BISM Normalizer will check connections set up for impersonation, and prompt for username and password (like deployment from SSDT).
Both source and target models must have the DirectQuery Mode property set to On for successful comparison.
BISM Normalizer will use the appropriate editor if available. If not found, the option to save to a file is provided instead. Note: the JSON editor is not installed as part of a SSDT-only installation with the Visual Studio Integrated Shell.
View or modify contents of BSMN files.
Open BSMN files from Windows Explorer with Visual Studio as the default application. Also display the BISM Normalizer icon in Solution Explorer. To enable this, right click a BSMN file in Solution Explorer and select the Install Solution Explorer Icon context menu. Note: administrator permissions are required to even see the menu option. This can't be set up automatically with standard VSIX deployment from the Visual Studio Gallery because of the admin requirement.

Come on, 'fess up. Which Chinese is obviously so delusional he thought that what the public really needed was a Vaio P clone, complete with chiclet keyboard and pink satin casing? I guess the Vaio P 2 hasn't appeared yet...
The Aoson R169 has come via Shenzhen Anson, and while it won't get a release date outside of China it has similar specs to the Vaio P—with an 8.9-inch screen with 1024 x 600 resolution, 1.6GHz Atom Z530 processor and 1GB of RAM. The hard drive is 80GB and there's also the option to spring for an embedded 3G SIM if desired.
But really, a pink satin Vaio P? God no. [Cloned In China via Liliputing]

However, Sprint customers who are itching to purchase this affordable Android 2.2 powered handset can circle down Sunday, November 7th. That's when this handset will finally become available for purchase, but it's only going to be the purple colored version that'll be available. So if that specific color doesn't quite suit your taste, you'll have to wait out two weeks before the version sporting the charcoal paint job is available.
Nonetheless, the arrival of the LG Optimus S will finally signal LG's Android presence on the pin dropping network. Naturally, it'll be boasting all the wonders and joys that Android 2.2 has to offer while still sporting an attractive $49.99 on-contract pricing.

The spring season is well underway as the nation's top players are currently making cases for all-league honors in their respective conferencees. Taylor Cummings leads a heralded group in this week's Player of the Year watch.
Five goals, seven draws and three caused turnovers against Duke: just a typical day for the Maryland middie. Arguably no player in the nation currently impacts the game as much in all areas of the field as Cummings with 28 goals, 13 assists, 37 draw controls and 14 caused turnovers. She also draws contact well in the arc, hitting 11 free position shots, though Syracuse did contain her to just one goal.
Treanor just led Syracuse through a stretch of five-ranked teams in a row, helping the Orange win four of them. With three points in a row against Florida, finishing with five total in the game, the sophomore helped Syracuse defeat the Gators and has 29 goals and 18 assists on the season. She had a hat trick and had better offensive numbers than her Maryland counterpart Cummings in the game, but the Terps got the 12-10 win.
Murray is just as impactful as the leader of the Syracuse offense with 20 goals, 14 assists and 13 draw controls, shooting a little over 60%. Her game numbers are not eye-popping; on the stat sheet she normally gets a couple goals and draw controls a game, but her presence draws necessary attention.
Gilroy continues to carry the Gators in all facets, symbolized by the junior contributing three points on Florida's 5-0 game-finishing run to earn a one-goal victory over Loyola. Standing with 43 goals, 12 assists and 45 draw controls, she has led the Gators in scoring in nearly every game and currently leads all of Division I in goals scored.
UNC continues its undefeated stretch led by its primary goal-scorer Friend, who currently has 32 goals, 14 assists and eight caused turnovers. The Tar Heels have beaten five then-ranked squads thus far, with Friend scoring at least three points in all those wins, including a recent hat trick with an assist against Virginia. She is currently amongst the top-10 goal-scorers in Division I.
Leonard has been the engine and rudder for the steamship Northwestern, setting a new NCAA and Wildcats draw control record in program history as well as leading the team in goals. She has snared at least eight draws in all but one of Northwestern's six games, including nine with three goals in a victory over Michigan. The team has big tests coming up, Syracuse, UMass and UNC in a three-game span starting on Sunday.
Boston College is quietly becoming one of the more feared teams in women's lacrosse, with Rix impacting the offense and the draw with 24 goals and 23 draw controls. Her all-around performance was on showcase in a victory over Canisius, earning three goals, an assist, four ground balls and three draws. UNC comes up this week as an important matchup of two top-five squads.
McPartland has come alive in ACC play with at least three goals in Maryland's three conference wins, including five points vs. Syracuse and seven vs. Duke off a hat trick and four assists. She totals 25 goals and 11 assists and has scored on nearly 70% of her shots to lead the Terrapins.
Ivy League offenses are having a hard time against Penn's defense, led by a strong shutdown player. Causing nine turnovers in her first two Ivy League games, Markham stands with 16 caused turnovers and 22 ground balls in five games, also grabbing 16 draws. Penn's defense, which has allowed fewer than seven-and-a-half goals a game, has held all but one opponent thus far under double-digit goals.
After what seemed like a decline in scoring, D'Amore helped light up the scoreboard against Michigan with eight assists, three goals and four draw controls. The new all-time leader in draws at JHU has 26 goals, 25 assists and 29 draw controls on the year. JHU is still undefeated at 9-0 and is looking primed for its first NCAA appearance since 2007.

All known Rift Valley fever virus outbreaks in East Africa from 1950 to May 1998, and probably earlier, followed periods of abnormally high rainfall. Analysis of this record and Pacific and Indian Ocean sea surface temperature anomalies, coupled with satellite normalized difference vegetation index data, shows that prediction of Rift Valley fever outbreaks may be made up to 5 months in advance of outbreaks in East Africa. Concurrent near–real-time monitoring with satellite normalized difference vegetation data may identify actual affected areas.

How the smell of alcohol impacts alcohol-related thoughts and behaviours is unclear, though it is well-documented that alcohol-related stimuli and environments may trigger these.
The current study, therefore, aimed to investigate the priming effects of both visual and olfactory alcohol cues on inhibitory control.
Forty individuals (M age = 23.65, SD = 6.52) completed a go/no-go association task (GNAT) which measured reaction times, response accuracy and false alarm rates whilst being exposed to alcohol-related (or neutral) olfactory and visual cues.
Alcohol-related visual cues elicited lower false alarm rates, slower reaction times and higher accuracy rates relative to neutral pictorial cues. False alarm rates were significantly higher for those exposed to alcohol as opposed to neutral olfactory cues.
By highlighting that exposure to alcohol-related olfactory cues may impede response inhibition, the results indicate that exposure to such stimuli may contribute to the activation of cognitive responses which may drive consumption.
KeywordsAlcohol Inhibition Cues Olfactory Context GNAT
The pairing of the psychological and physiological effects of alcohol consumption with related paraphernalia, people or places can lead to conditioned responses to such stimuli, in the absence of the substance (Rohsenow et al. 1990). The presentation of such stimuli (e.g. the sight of an alcoholic beverage) has been shown to trigger such responses in both clinical and non-clinical populations (e.g. Cooney et al. 1987; Kenny et al. 2006; Nees et al. 2012; Siegel 2001; Traylor et al. 2011; see also Glautier et al. 1992; Kambouropoulos and Staiger 2001; Ramirez et. al. 2014). These include physiological arousal (Kenny 2007; Sinha et al. 2009), such as increased salivation (Rohsenow et al. 1994), electro dermal activity (Garland et al. 2012; Stormark et al. 1993), and heart rate (Ingjaldsson et al. 2003). Exposure to substance-related cues and environments has also been found to be related to changes in alcohol consumption (Monk et al. 2015), as well as related cognitions (Monk and Heim 2013a, b, 2014), relapse (e.g. Carter and Tiffany 1999; Marlatt 1990; Siegel 2005; Zironi et al. 2006) and craving (Conklin and Tiffany 2002; Courtney and Ray 2014; Modell and Mountz 1995).
Such findings are in keeping with the notion that substance-related cues not only involuntarily capture people's attention but also automatically trigger arousal associations (Field and Cox 2008; Wiers et al. 2002). Accordingly, alcohol-salient environments can be important contextual moderators of attentional biases, as has been demonstrated in both clinical (Field et al. 2014) and non-clinical groups (Albery et al. 2015). For instance, light drinkers are passively exposed to high levels of alcohol-related cues in their everyday lives (e.g. by spending much of their time in bars/pubs), whilst heavy drinkers are actively engaged with the alcohol-related cues in their environment (when drinking). As such, light drinkers display higher levels of attentional bias towards alcohol-related words (passive cues) in comparison to heavy drinkers. Specifically, in contrast to light drinkers, heavy drinkers are actively involved in alcohol consumption, meaning they display high levels of alcohol-related attentional interference, regardless of how much time they spend in alcohol-related contexts. Further attentional interference in response to passive cue exposure is thus not evident (Albery et al. 2015). It is therefore apparent that alcohol-related attentional biases fluctuate and are shaped by exposure to the contextual cues that individuals encounter in everyday life. Context can therefore influence the degree of attentional bias individuals have towards alcohol.
Inhibition controls the strength of alcohol-related attentional biases (Field and Cox 2008) and is one of the processes believed to underlie the aetiology of addictive behaviours (Wiers et al. 2002). Inhibitory control relies on a limited resource (Inzlicht and Berkman 2015; Muraven and Baumeister 2000) which may be overwhelmed in the presence of motivational alcohol cues (although see Monti and Rohsenow 1999 for cue exposure therapy). Indeed, it has been suggested that higher levels of impulsiveness and lower inhibitory control are associated with stronger cue-elicited cravings for alcohol in clinical samples (Papachristou et al. 2013). Changes in inhibitory control responses during exposure to alcohol-related pictorial cues have also been observed. Specifically, in a go/no-go task, participants appear to make more commission errors (false alarm rate; FAR) when no-go stimuli are super-imposed on alcohol-related images (Petit et al. 2012). Further, participants seem to respond faster when alcohol stimuli are 'go' stimuli (Kreusch et al. 2013).
However, whilst research has focused on the way in which alcohol-related visual, auditory and tactile cues shape alcohol-related thoughts and behaviours (Stein et al. 2000), there has been a distinct lack of exploration into possible effects of olfactory stimuli. Early research indicates that the smell of alcohol leads to an increase in self-reported desire to drink (Laberg 1990), whilst smelling an alcoholic drink appears to increase reported craving (Litt and Cooney 1999). Whilst a review by Schacht and colleagues (2013) notes the use of olfactory cues in studies of alcohol-related cue reactivity, the impact of olfaction on inhibitory processes remains unexplored. The current research therefore aims to examine this suggestion by introducing olfactory cues during the administration of the go/no-go task (GNG; Nosek and Banaji 2001).
It was predicted that alcohol-related (as opposed to neutral) olfactory cues would make alcohol-related stimuli more salient, leading to difficulties in inhibiting responses and resulting in higher FARs for these no-go alcohol-related stimuli.

A 2 (visual stimuli: alcohol and neutral) × 2 (olfactory cues: alcohol or neutral) mixed-groups design was used to examine the effect of olfactory and visual cues on FARs, reaction time on go trials (ms), and accuracy on the GNAT. All participants were exposed to both alcohol and neutral visual stimuli and random allocation was used to allocate participants to the olfactory cueing or control conditions.
Stimuli and materials
The Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test (AUDIT—Saunders et al. 1993) is a 10-item questionnaire which explores the domains of alcohol consumption, drinking behaviour and alcohol-related problems. Responses to each question are scored from 0 to 4, with a maximum possible score of 40. AUDIT provides a simple method of early detection of hazardous and harmful alcohol use in primary health care settings and is derived from a cross-national study. Good internal consistency on this measure was demonstrated in the current sample (Cronbach's α = 0.72).
The go/no-go association task (GNAT) used in this research utilised two picture sets for the visual cues: one set contained neutral pictures (the letter K vs. the other 25 letters) and the other set with bar-related pictures (a beer bottle vs. 25 water bottle pictures). Pictures of the letter K and beer were the target stimuli (14 % were no-go—36 no-go, 224 go stimuli used). All pictures were graphically equivalent in terms of colours, contrasts, objects shown and viewing angles. Branding was removed as appropriate and all pictures were presented on a white background using E-Prime 2.0 software.
A pre-treated olfactory mask was worn by all participants. This design was preferred to more traditional olfactory research designs in which participants inhale from a beaker, as it has been suggested that this earlier design may produce demand characteristics in responses (Litt and Cooney 1999). Participants in the current study were informed that external light, sound and smell have been previously demonstrated to adversely impact performance in the GNAT. The task instructions then went on to explain that it was for this reason that the current study had taken steps to control these factors, by using a mask, controlled lighting and sound-cancelling headphones which respondents were also required to wear. This was done with the intention of making the olfactory cues less overt so as to prevent demand characteristics. Post-test assessments suggested that although participants had noticed a slight smell from the mask, they had not inferred the true aim of the research nor interpreted smell as a variable of interest in the research. During debriefing, participants were also asked not to share the aims of the research with other potential study candidates.
Research indicates that an odour that is not from the same semantic category as alcohol, but is equally liked or disliked, will ensure a priming effect (Smeets and Dijksterhuis 2014). Furthermore, olfactory intensity has been shown to impact odour perception, specifically at higher concentrations (Smeets and Dijksterhuis 2014). It was therefore necessary to ensure that the filters inside the masks worn by participants contained subtle yet comparable scents. Pilot testing was, therefore, carried out using a number of varying alcohol-related and neutral smells (at varying doses) in order to uncover two scents (one from each category) which were equally liked and rated as having an equivalent intensity. A pipette was utilised in order pre-treat the masks with small amounts of vodka (5 ml of diluted Glenn's vodka, 1:5 dilution, administered as the alcohol-related olfactory cue) or citrus oil (5 ml of diluted oil, 1:10 dilution, as the control condition).
This research was approved by the appropriate ethics committee and the research was therefore been performed in accordance with the ethical standards laid down in the 1964 Declaration of Helsinki. All persons gave their informed consent prior to their inclusion in the study. This research introduced olfactory cues into the paradigm of Kreusch et al. (2013), who inserted alcohol-related visual into the GNAT. Following ethical approval, participants were recruited, briefed and seated in front of a computer. They were then asked to fit the inhalation mask.
Participants were required to inhibit their response to target stimuli (see materials; alcohol condition = bottle of beer; neutral condition = letter K), but to respond to all other stimuli. If participants responded incorrectly (i.e. they pressed the space bar when a target stimuli was presented in no-go trials), a feedback tone (250 ms) was presented. The experiment was organised into 16 blocks, eight with alcohol visual stimuli and eight with neutral (letter) stimuli. The order of blocks was randomised and trial order was pseudo-randomised (with no more than three of any given trial being permitted in a row and no blocks starting with a no-go trial). The distribution of the blocks and trials was also checked post hoc in order to ensure distribution equivalency between olfactory and neutral cue conditions. The study lasted approximately 30 min and included breaks between blocks to mitigate fatigue. The mask was removed at the end of testing. Following the GNAT task, participants were asked to provide basic demographic information and to complete the AUDIT, prior to receiving a full debrief. This was the final component of testing in order to limit the signal strength of the study (c.f. Davies and Best 1996).

Reaction time on go trials
Whilst there was no main effect of olfactory cue on reaction time (F(1, 38) = 0.16, p > 0.69, ηp2 = 0.00), a significant main effect of pictorial target on reaction time was found (F(1, 38) = 4.77, p = 0.04, ηp2 = 0.11) such that reaction time was slower for the neutral pictorial target than for the alcohol pictorial target. There was no significant interaction between olfactory cue and the pictorial target (F(1, 38) = 0.93, p = 0.34, ηp2 = 0.02).
Accuracy on go trials
There was no main effect of olfactory cue on go accuracy rates (F(1, 38) = 0.76, p = 0.39, ηp2 = 0.02) with the accuracy slightly higher for the control olfactory cue than the alcohol olfactory cue. Yet there was a main effect of pictorial target on accuracy (F(1, 38) = 4.26, p = 0.05, ηp2 = 0.01), such that accuracy was significantly higher for the alcohol pictorial target than the neutral pictorial target. There was no significant interaction between olfactory cue and pictorial target (F(1, 38) = 0.71, p = 0.41, ηp2 = 0.02).
Separate analyses for alcohol and neutral visual stimuli were also run (Appendix 1). The pattern shown was the same as for combined analyses. D′ scores were also calculated2 (as per Macmillan and Creelman 1991). Combined analyses showed the same pattern of results as for FAR, as did separate analyses (Appendix 1). The separate analyses were conducted due to the different processes involved in letter recognition and selection of pictures (Carr et al. 1982).
The aim of the present research was to examine the extent to which olfactory cues impact response inhibition in a population of social-drinkers using GNAT. As hypothesised, FARs were significantly higher among respondents receiving the alcohol olfactory cue than those in the control condition. Nonetheless, that this effect was generalised across both alcohol and non-alcohol-related visual cues was not predicted. Early research indicates that the smell of alcohol leads to increases in self-reported desire to drink (Laberg 1990) and craving (Litt and Cooney 1999). The current research contributes to this body of knowledge by suggesting that inhibitory control may also be affected by the smell of alcohol in a similar fashion. It may be hypothesised that this operates via the triggering of associated physiological and cognitive processes, in-line with theories of cue reactivity. These findings are also apparently in-line with the assertion that (non-olfactory) cues elicit a psychomotor-activating response (c.f. Wiers et al. 2002). This may lead to difficulties in inhibiting a dominant response (also see Roberts et al. 2014), thus leading to more errors than in those not exposed to such cues. In this way, the current findings support the findings of previous research that exposure to alcohol-related stimuli results in reduced accuracy in tasks requiring inhibitory control (Petit et al. 2012).
However, it was not expected that alcohol-related olfactory cues would affect inhibition (manifest in increased FARs), irrespective of the type of visual cue. These findings may therefore demonstrate a pattern of generalised response impairment (i.e. inhibition impairment regardless of visual stimuli). This effect is in keeping with the wider literature that suggests that responses to unique stimuli (e.g. Baldi et al. 2004; Mühlberger et al. 2014) including olfactory cues (e.g. Daly et al. 2001), can become generalised to wider contexts and stimuli. In other words, there may be a carryover effect from responding to specific cues, meaning that responses translate to wider stimuli. Whilst not hitherto examined in this field, such findings may therefore suggest that alcohol-related olfactory cues may reduce inhibition to both alcohol-related and non-alcohol-related cues. The real-world drivers of processes such as attentional bias and inhibitory control require further examination. Even so, the current research contributes to the growing body of research that proffers the role of a myriad of complex contextual cues.
Nonetheless, it should be noted that there were no observed effects of olfactory cue on response time or accuracy on go trials. In the GNAT, response selection occurs in conjunction with response inhibition, as respondents must select whether to execute an appropriate response or to inhibit an inappropriate response (Suskauer et al. 2008). If one considers that response selection is needed to process which responses to make, then response inhibition is needed to withhold the response for 'no-go' target (see below for further discussion). If the olfactory cue impacted selection (rather than or more than response inhibition) then it would be expected that performance on the task using letters would be impaired over and above performance on the alcohol-related pictorial stimuli, as the former arguably places a greater demand on response selection. The current findings may therefore indicate that olfactory cues may have very specific effects on response inhibition (rather than selection). Such assertions are, nonetheless, speculative at this stage and further research is recommended to test this hypothesis.
Hypotheses regarding the effect of visual alcohol-related cues were not supported. Here, FAR and accuracy was higher, and reaction times slower, for the neutral stimuli in comparison with responses to alcohol-related pictures. Such findings do not align with previous indications of heightened response times and cue reactivity towards alcohol stimuli (Kreusch et al. 2013; Petit et al. 2012). Petit et al. (2012) also showed that participants found it harder to inhibit responses to alcohol-related stimuli, leading to reduced accuracy. These divergent results may be explained by a number of differences between the stimuli used in the current study compared to others. First, Kreusch et al. (2013) used pictures of neutral objects (e.g. a stapler) as the non-target stimuli, whereas the current study used letters, which are of a different semantic category and thus may evoke different responses and or processes in responding. Second, there were more non-target stimuli in the current study when compared to previous research. This may require a greater degree of response selection from participants, in addition to the response inhibition necessitated by this task. As response selection involves the selection of either the appropriate response or the choice to inhibit an inappropriate response (Simmonds et al. 2008), tasks requiring response selection as well as response inhibition may result in slower responses and greater chances of errors due to additional processing. Furthermore, as noted by Kreusch and colleagues (2013), the provision of alcohol-related questions prior to testing may have primed participants, whilst in this study this was avoided. Further research is required to test such assertions.
It should be noted that, in the current research, there was no inclusion of a non- odour condition. That the citrus scent could have had an independent effect over the alcohol olfactory cue can thus not be excluded (Smeets and Dijksterhuis 2014). Further research in this regard may therefore be recommended. It is also suggested that other scents should be tested in the future, in order to assess which types of alcohol elicit the greatest response (c.f. Schneider et al. 2001 on beer). The expansion of this research beyond a purely student-based sample is also recommended, given that University students are immersed in a social, pub-based drinking culture (Borsari and Carey 2001; Karam et al. 2007; Straus and Bacon 1953). Context-related cueing may therefore be particularly likely (c.f. Rumelhart and Todd 1993). It is also advisable that future research test trait levels of impulsivity during testing, as baseline variability in impulsiveness between the alcohol and neutral olfactory conditions cannot presently be ruled out. Whilst the random allocation of participants to olfactory condition reduces this possibility, such potential does require acknowledgment.
Finally, it is recommended that further research is required before firmer claims can be made as the effect of alcohol-related visual cues on inhibition. This is recommended in light of two potential limitations of the current research. First, reverse instruction blocks were not inserted into the current GNAT paradigm (i.e. where identical stimuli are assigned as both go targets or no-go distracters in randomly administered trials). Whilst recent research has shown little variation in results when reversed conditions are included within an alcohol-related GNAT (c.f. Pennington et al. in press), the exploration of reversed conditions response patterns would add further weight to the current findings. Specifically, a recent review has suggested that the valence of stimuli can affect the selection of appropriate or inappropriate actions, with possible implications for impulsivity and addiction (Guitart-Masip et al. 2014). Including a reversed condition, where responses are only made to target stimuli (alcohol-related or letter K) may therefore have allowed for deductions regarding whether the effects were primarily due to generalised response invigoration or inhibitory deficits. Second, there were inherent variations in task difficulty within the current tasks: In the first task, the participants must select an alcohol no-go target among non-alcohol visual distracters. In the second task, they must select a K-letter no-go target among other letter visual distracters (a potentially more difficult task). This means that further research is necessary in order to disentangle the effects of task difficult and stimuli type on response times, accuracy and reaction time. Nevertheless, the main finding, that olfactory cues affected such measures, irrespective of visual cues, is a novel and important research finding worthy of further consideration.
Overall, this research offers an original insight into the importance of acknowledging olfactory alcohol cues in developing a comprehensive understanding of alcohol-related behaviour. Context-related reductions in inhibitory control may lead to increases in consumption, or to relapse in abstinence users.
FAR to no-go stimuli are commission errors to K or alcohol images—when participants are not meant to respond but do. The 'hit rate' to Go trials is equivalent to omission errors (proportion of stimuli responded to correctly)
Combined analyses: There was a main effect of olfactory cue (F(1, 38) = 4.66, p = 0.04, ηp2 = 0.11), insomuch that D' for those receiving the alcohol cue was lower (M = 1.66, SD = 0.61) than those receiving the neutral cue (M = 2.00, SD = 0.62), indicating performance was significantly affected by the alcohol olfactory cue. There was also a main effect of pictorial target (F(1, 38) = 30.76, p ≤ 0.01, ηp2 = 0.45), with D′ for alcohol stimuli higher (M = 2.06, SD = 0.67) than for neutral stimuli (M = 1.60, SD = 0.51), indicating performance on the neutral stimuli was significantly worse than for alcohol stimuli. There was no interaction between olfactory cue and pictorial target (F(1, 38) = 0.17, p = 0.68, ηp2 = 0.00).
Separate analyses: For the alcohol stimuli, there was a marginal main effect of olfactory cue (F(1, 38) = 3.48, p = .07, ηp2 = 0.08), insomuch that D' for those receiving the alcohol cue was lower (M = 1.87, SD = 0.66) than those receiving the neutral cue (M = 2.25, SD = 0.63). For the neutral stimuli, there was also a marginal main of effect of olfactory cue (F(1, 38) = 4.10, p = 0.05, ηp2 = 0.10), with D' for those receiving the alcohol cue lower (M = 1.44, SD = 0.48) than those receiving the neutral cue (M = 1.75, SD = 0.50). Overall, this suggests that performance for both types of stimuli was affected by the alcohol olfactory cue.

New mom, Aishwarya put in a rare appearance at the Reception in Manish Malhotra. Look forward to seeing more of her!
Aishwarya Rai At Genelia And Ritesh's Reception
Photo Credit: Viral Bhayani
she looks lovely!
Ash is such a refreshing change after seeing all celebs who r in a hurry to get back into shape. As a Dietitian I now understand how unhealthy that is to mother as well as the baby. Kudos to Ash for putting health before fame. Love her.
+1 ..looks like she is enjoying being a mommy ..tht's hw it should be
So happy to see Ash. She looks gorgeous and the outfit is stunning too.
She's glowing!
It's disappointing that she can pick any outfit out there and this is what she comes up with
most beautiful women in the world. alwayz has been and will b. any1 2 criticize her is just jealous
omgg.. I'm one of the biggest Ash fans there are and even I am sick of hearing this standard line. "She is the most beautiful, anyone who criticizes her is jealous". Are you serious!? Yes – I think she is BEAUTIFUL and I do actually think she is one of the most if not the most beautiful women but I'm just annoyed with hearing people constantly shoving this down other people's throats. No, people who criticize her are NOT just jealous. They are smart people with valid opinions like the rest of us. AHHH.
Did you say new mom or grand mom?…I may sound bitchy…but this lady needs to be educated that there are other types of salwar suits out there which are very flattering and which dont make you look like a tent.
OUCH! btw have u ever been pregnant? not that it should matter cos I haven't and I still get why women wear loose outfits after pregnancy.
More power to her. she makes women who've actually been thru the hard work of delivering babies and the sleepless nights that follow feel GOOD. this is what a new mom looks like. God knows we've seen enough celebrities turn into glamourous, stick thin babes minutes after popping a baby. this is seriously refreshing.
Thanks Mary :)
If she wants to be wear a pretty tent to be comfortable she gets to wear the pretty tent. The End. Not everything is about being fashion forward 24/7.
She look's k gorgeous, so glad she dress with class.
Please post high resolution images on right-click as an option.
She looks so pretty. Speaking from experience, when I had a 3 month old baby the most comfortable clothes were tent like!
not a fan of the dress or the choker, would have liked to see her in a nice attire as seeing her after long time.
I dont mind the suit just wish she had picked a more flattering color.
Ash is glowing. Good to see her after a long time. I guess the weight comments are to be expected. Regular women don't have a choice but to be up and about after pregnancy regardless of weight gain, but being in an industry where looks are the premium Ash would know that most of all – so I am happy she is here as she is – looking like a normal woman who did not go on a 1 calorie a day diet immediately after pregnancy! The comments here show me the class of commenters this site usually invites…on some other sites goodness me the vitriol is incredible and all about her figure! Anyway, enough of this…I for one think she looks great…glowing skin as usual, great hair, but the outfit is a little too jhatak for me – with all that going on in the salwar kameez, a plainer dupatta would have been a better choice. Loving the colors!
1st point – I think her weight and the way she looks physically is fine. It is refreshing, she's not doing any movies, she's a new mommy and all I wish is for her to be healthy and happy.
2nd point – I really do not like what she is wearing lol. I hate the embroidery by the neck – I think it's making her look very squished and extra heavy on top. I also dislike the color (green with the blue velvet neck bit) and don't like the blue polka dot dupatta I think the dots are off in comparison with the rest of her outfit. I completely blame the designer for making it look this bad and credit Ash for making it look semi ok. I also don't really know if this was the best choice for her I think I would have preferred her in a sari (not a see through one).
So happy to see her. Also glad to see that people here aren't picking on her weight. Let her enjoy motherhood. She'll get back into shape when she gets back to movies
Ash looks like she just stepped out do some grocery shopping!
she looks pretty but the choice of outfit is drab drab drab!!!
looks like she hasnt had time to go shopping since beti b arrived!
What???You dress like this to go grocery shopping?? Incredible that you call all that glitter drab… When it comes to Aish, I bet she does not have to go shopping, the designers will bring their clothes to her.
Seriously, does anyone go grocery shopping like that LOL!
I doubt a new mom's priority is ever going to be her own clothes – having said that, I still think Ash looks lovely in that rather unexciting outfit.
love her for keeping it real!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! u rock, aish. you are beautiful.
Very nice to see her….wish she opted for a better outfit though.
she proves yet again that she is one of the worst dressed in b'wood. its not about her weight at all, the suit looks like any tacky one you can get in a million bazars in any indian city and the color clash of the dupatta and the suit is painful. on another note, even 'ordinary mommies' ( am mother of a young baby myself) can find time to go suit shopping once in a while, surely ash with all the stylists and domestic help at her disposal can!
It's a bit of a stretch to call her worst dressed in b'wood. I mean have you seen what some of the ppl in b'wood or hollywood wear? I mean have you seen Vidya??? I think Aish is one of the best dressed females in the world. Even this outfit which would be horrible on any other woman out there, Aish makes it look just okay. And not many women can pull anarkalis off at all. It's the hardest thing to pull of in my opinion.And this was a wedding reception, this was an appropriate outfit for that occassion.Plus she just had a baby & has obviously gained weight which is apparent in the face, I don't think she is in a mood to show off her arms or any other part of her body. You know what the media will do if they catch any bit of weight gain on her. They will rip her apart like they did at cannes this year. That being said, I'm not excusing her poor choice of dress. She could've chosen a better outfit. Maybe a lose flowy dress like the red dior one spotted recently on Kareena.
Her taste is clothes is always suspect. It's amazing how some people won't give a new mom a break. And then we talk about celebs putting pressure on regular janes to look good. What about the pressure we're putting on them?
Well said! Ash looks better when her face is smaller, making her features more chiseled. It will take some time but she will get there I'm sure. She could easily have picked something more elegant and not overdesigned on the bust area…but kudos to her for attending the wedding and opening herself up to so much criticism that each of her appearances seems to cause. Can't be easy being her….aging is bad enough for most women but for someone in the public eye it must be so much more difficult. Especially in the face of anonymous commentators hiding behind their screens :)
Never like Ash's choice of clothes…her hair n make-up are also the same every time…no spunk, no variation. I guess its OK to look sloppy 3 months into child birth but its ALSO OK to except celebs to look and dress a particular way. They get paid LOADS N LOADS of money to do just that…!!! I just hope Ash doesn't let herself go and comes back fitter n in a ravishing avatar soon like Karisma Kapoor.
I meant 'expect'…
The outfit looks a like a bit of a mishmash: as if the wrong dupatta was paired with the wrong kurta. She looked so nice when she wore that baby pink one when Beti B was born….that was lovely!
i dont like this outfit at all, besides my hatred of anarkalis. the colours are so garish and tacky.
I LOVE ASH <3 She's so beautiful and love her outfit too.
The only that I didn't like about this photo is her dress! Its just too EWW ! I mean I can see so many suits of these kinds in almost every indian bazar. Look at the other celebrities who wore wonderful dresses doesn't matter how busy they are! Besides Aishwarya is not a single mother living alone raising a child working soooo hard that she wouldn't spare couple of hours to shop around. This dress of hers is just yucky! so typical shadi types that too of shadis that used to happen around 10 years from now!

Awwww. Look at that little girl with her baby doll. So sweet. So innocent. So grossly ill-prepared for the oft-unpleasant reality of motherhood.
Do I think it's good to encourage little girls' imaginations? Yes. Do I think that creating in them early on a sense of responsibility is also good? Absolutely. Do I think that a pretty little doll that comes with it's very own crib, feeding chair and PONY (really?!) is the best way to prepare her for the screaming, sticky, wet and stinky world of motherhood? No. No I do not.
Here's what I think you should do instead. Go ahead and get her the doll. Then gather up all its adorable little accessories … the baby bottle, pacifier, bowl and utensils and dunk them in the toilet.
Then before you give it all to her, outfit the doll with a sound device that constantly and continuously makes this noise:
This all may seem very harsh, but you're really doing her a disservice if you don't set expectations now.

You Gould probably add that the Grado's leak sound lie no other, and thus are useless for use anywhere but at the home. I tried a pair of the Majors at a Dixons Travel and I was quite surprised, sounding pretty good, and being extremely comfy, although i only had them on for about 15 minutes.
I also tested them with my Omnia 7 which is a nice coincidence and I found that they went loud enough, and thanks to the clamp on your ears, they really blocked out a lot of outside noise.
I played a mixture of music, from Crystal Castles, De La Soul, Nero, and Frightened Rabbit and they sounded pretty good throughout, although i agree about the lack of bass, its still there, but far from being 'boomy'
All in all i was quite impressed, they look great, feel great and offer better than average sound quality especially for a branded pair like these and i think I'll be getting myself some!
weirdwilli: You make it sound as though the Grados "leak" sound through bad design, however this is an intended consequence of the open-back design. In fairness though, as a non-audiophile I share your bafflement at the idea of buying a pair of headphones that everyone else can hear.

Submitted to: Electronic Publication
Publication Type: Other
Publication Acceptance Date: 1/10/2005
Publication Date: 2/1/2005
Citation: Sunehag, A., Haymond, M.W. 2005. Etiology of hypoglycemia in infants and children. UpToDate Online Journal [serial online]. Available: http://uptodateonline.com. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: The body maintains a delicate balance between the rate at which glucose is produced or enters the circulation (appearance rate) and the rate at which it is utilized (disappearance rate). When the rate of appearance of glucose into the plasma exceeds the rate of disappearance, the plasma glucose concentration increases. Conversely, when the rate of disappearance is greater than the rate of appearance, the plasma glucose concentration decreases. In many hypoglycemic conditions, the understanding of glucose kinetics is insufficient to assign a clear cause (eg, increased utilization or decreased production). In other conditions, a combination of compromised production and increased utilization is thought to contribute to the development of hypoglycemia. Hereditary disorders associated with a deficiency of specific enzymes involved with substrate mobilization, interconversion, and utilization are individually rare disorders but frequently associated with hypoglycemia. These enzymatic defects may involve carbohydrate, amino acid, or fat metabolism and are almost always inherited as autosomal recessive traits. Because of the interactions of fat, carbohydrate, and amino acid metabolism in the maintenance of normal fuel homeostasis, abnormalities in the metabolism of a single substrate can have primary and secondary effects on other metabolic pathways. A common expression of these derangements is the development of biochemical or symptomatic hypoglycemia. Unless their hypoglycemia is promptly recognized and treated, these children may develop symptoms and potentially permanent neurologic sequelae.

integral question
I have a question and was wondering if someone could help me with it. This
is a general vector calculus problem, not specific to Mathematica. I have a
simple integral as follows:
Given r^2= x^2+y^2, solve Integral[r^2, dr] from point1 (0,0) to point2
(1,1), which would be evaluated from r=0 to r=sqrt[2] and gives answer =
The above is pretty simple, however, I am not sure how to formulate the
problem when I convert the 'dr' back to cartesian coordinates as follows:
Integrate [x^2+y^2, d????] and the limits??? WHat should 'dr' be in terms
of dx? if my integrand is directly x^2+y^2. It cannot be a double integral,
since the original problem was a single integral, but then how do you solve
Can anyone help?

Photos: Feist's Documentary "LOOK AT WHAT THE LIGHT DID NOW" @ Pacific Film Archive Theater
Nov 10, 2010
The documentary is a backstage pass into Feist's creative process, the story
of how The Reminder got made, of the oceans that were crossed, the places
that were seen, and the people whose talents made it resonate. Follow Feist
and her supporting cast through an impressionistic array of flickering
scenery, echoing stadiums, puppet workshops, the red carpet, a crumbling
French mansion, definitive concert performances and uncommonly candid
interviews. Itself a part of the creative mosaic it portrays, "Look At What
The Light Did Now" illuminates the synergy of collaboration, art as
magnifying glass, and the power of trust. Watch the trailer here.

Woman Arrested For Bringing Concealed Gun To 9/11 Memorial
(Jen Chung) It's deja vu again: A Wisconsin woman visiting the 9/11 Memorial yesterday was arrested after a security guard screening her bag spotted a gun in the purse.
Ursula Jerry, 41, had a .380-caliber semi-automatic Kel-Tec gun in her purse. The Wall Street Journal reports, "The weapon had two rounds in the magazine-none were in the chamber, the official said." Jerry also told cops, "I travel with this from home on Amtrak to New York City. I don't mean harm to anyone."
Jerry has a permit for the gun in Wisconsin, but not NYC. Responsible gun owners would know that New York City is really horrible and requires a NYC gun permit, which means out-of-towners are out of luck.

Go To The Beach (For Your Students' Sake)
Summer has very much arrived. Once the temperature climbed beyond 80 in Boston, a friend of mine e-mailed me and others asking if anyone was interested in driving to the beach on a Sunday morning.
My first thought was, "I have a five-page paper due Monday that I have not started. I haven't written my lesson for Monday. I have a bag full of quizzes to grade."
My second thought was, "It's June. It's in the 80s and sunny. I deserve the beach."
And so, just after noon, I found myself at Crane Beach on the North Shore of Massachusetts. The water was cold even by New England standards, but fortunately a (sort of) random 12-year-old girl named Arielle began splashing me as I was wading in, so that sped up the acclimation process. I got through 40 pages of my book, threw a Frisbee, and went for a long walk with my friends.
It's easy for teachers, and definitely us crazy perfectionists who seem over-represented within TFA, to think our work requires all of us. We could be grading. We could be calling parents. We could be revising lessons and writing new unit plans. We could be finding some edge that will help us get our kids to college. We could be single-handedly closing the achievement gap.
Yes, our work is critically important. But so are our lives beyond the classroom. Put simply, happy teachers are effective teachers, and you cannot be happy in a sustainable way without investing in the meaningful relationships and pursuits that keep you sane and grounded.

OK, so here's the skinnny. I printed out WOF's templates for a Boba Fett helmet at 100% and .25 " margins. Digifett & SD68's helmets were made using thin plastic and For Sale signs respectively, both of which I believe to be 1mm thick.
When I built the helmet out of 3mm sintra, the parts did not match up well. I think the problem is my material is thicker than what the WOF templates were designed for.
How do I compensate for the thicker material?
Should I just print the templates out at more than 100% like say 105% or more? I'm sure someone here has run into this before.
Thanks for your help.

text: Hello, I'm new to Myers-Briggs and my wife is INFJ. From what I read our functions are complete opposite. I want to hear from others what their relationships are like and are there any successful stories out there. How did you achieve it since our types are so different? Unsuccessful stores are welcome too but right now I want some encouragement. I want to learn and truly "get" her because I love her. Thanks.
