Christmas at White Hall Historic State Site
From the lavish decorations in the parlor to the slave quarters pictured above, Christmas decorating came into it's own in 19th century America during the Victorian Age. The staff at White Hall decorated the entire mansion even to the 3rd floor bedrooms as shown below. Click here to see photos of White Hall during "A Victorian Christmas."
Christmas by Candlelight at Fort Boonesborough State Park
Click here for Newsreel.
Interpreter Dennis Muzzy caught the rapt attention of these children as he talked about early Dutch customs of Christmas including Sinder Klaas who arrived in Holland by ship, bringing gifts to children who had been good. Santa Claus evolved from this tradition. Other cabins displayed German and English customs. There was also music and refreshments in the tavern, dancing in the blockhouse and outdoor bonfires and gifts for the children. Photos & Nesreel now loaded.
December Brings Christmas to Historic Sites
Although lavish light displays would not have been possible when this home was built in 1850, today they highlight historic homes and architecture. Pictured above is the James Trigg House a Victorian era Italianate style home in Jefferson County, KY placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
Veteran's Day 2012
Thank A Veteran for their service
It was a re-enactment of a different kind on Sunday November 12th. Just prior to the kickoff of the 2012 Veteran's Day Parade in Louisville, Kentucky a military jeep screeched to a halt in front of the assembled crowd and the reviewing stand of dignitaries and out jumped a sailor. It was reminiscent of the iconic photo from 1945 published in Life Magazine, and as the sailor kissed the nurse it felt like 1945 all over again. A time when soldiers came home to cheering crowds and that was the atmosphere that kicked off the parade. Click here for photos.
Hear Lincoln's Pocket Watch in the MovieLincoln by Steven Spielberg
FRANKFORT, Ky.(Nov. 9, 2012) — A pocket watch that once belonged to Abraham Lincoln and is now in the Kentucky Historical Society (KHS) collections is featured in Steven Spielberg's newest film. "Lincoln" opens in limited release on November 9th and nationwide Friday, November 16.
The Kentucky Historical Society was contacted in May by
Ben Burtt, an Academy Award-winning sound designer working on the film. The sound team was dedicated to incorporating as many historically accurate sounds as possible that Lincoln would have actually heard in his lifetime – including the ticking of his pocket watch. Learn More...

150th Commemoration of the Battle of Perryville
The sky was dark with gunpowder as the Union Soldiers and the Confederate Soldiers met on October 7 & 8th on the actual site of the Battle of Perryville. It was Kentucky's largest Civil War battle with over 7,000 killed. It was quite a shock in 1862 for the small town of Perryville whose population was only 300, to be inundated with both armies looking for water and meeting in battle on nearby farmland. The aftermath was even worse as the area had to deal with wounded, dying and the dead still laying in the fields. Almost 2,000 re-enactors registered to participate in the weekend events with registrations fees going toward battlefield preservation.

If I were a kid again.....
If I were a kid again I would choose to spend a few summer days at the Shelby County Historical Society History Camp. Held at Red Orchard Park in Shelbyville, Kentucky on June 19-21, 2012, registered participants got to learn and play at the same time. Chinking a fort, building a native wigwam, signing up to join the militia, doing the laundry over a tub of water, beading a bracelet and lots more filled the time for the youngsters. Click Here....

From Our ArchivesFort Randolph
Sometimes in traveling, we fail to load photos that we shoot. Fort Randolph in 2010 was one of those stories. In 2009 an arsonist did damage to the Tavern. When we returned to the historic site in the spring of 2010 it had gone a remarkable renovation. Although we posted the photos of the event, we never finished the feature on the fort itself. See it now....
Simon Kenton visits at The Fireside Chats at Fort Boonesborough
Even a chill in the air and a threat of snow didn't discourage the capacity crowd that came to hear Simon Kenton. After another great meal by the foundation and games and music in the tavern, everyone settled in to hear the story of Frontiersman, Simon Kenton as portrayed by Mel Hankla. Aided by his walking stick, an elderly Simon Kenton shuffled into the blockhouse to tell his story. Click here for photos and story .

A Bible for Maggie Delaney
Ever wonder how the vast numbers of illiterate people in the 18th century learned about the bible. The truth is probably that they learned by word of mouth. Preachers, parents and others related the stories of the bible to those that could not read. But history also tells us that there were "picture bibles." And Maggie Delaney, portrayed by Carol Jarboe is now the owner of one such reproduction bible. Learn more....

Goodbye to April
For many children meeting April was often their first up close interaction with a horse.
In December of 2011 re-enactors lost another great friend. Although this was a quiet passing April, the horse belonging to Larry MacQuown was put down due to some painful ongoing issues with her hooves. Countless children thrilled to see April at school days at numerous events. She was a regular at Women on the Frontier at Fort Boonesborough where many young women and girls had their first horseback ride. April was the gentlest of horses. Children could brush her, pet her and feed her treats. She accepted it all, with a steady and friendly attitude. She loved to have her photo taken and she will be missed. See more photos of April at The Long Run Massacre School Day.

Approximately half of all infertile couples have a male infertility component. This makes the semen analysis one of the most important fertility tests that must be completed prior to any female treatment.The semen analysis is a test for male infertility and to determine if any problems problems lie within the man's sperm.
Sadly, we sometimes see couples where the female has undergone infertility treatment only to learn that there is a male infertility component "missed" by the semen analysis. Sometimes we see couples where the semen analysis was not performed. "Miss diagnosed" male infertility is very frustrating and a waste of time, money, and emotions.
Given the importance of the semen analysis, it must be performed by a highly qualified infertility laboratory with trained andrologists (the study of sperm and semen). Commercial laboratories may perform far fewer analyses than reproductive labs and some personnel do not have advanced training in diagnosing the often subtle causes of male infertility.
Reproductive labs are often more expensive because managed care providers encourage members to use the "cheapest" lab regardless of their experience with male infertility. The semen analysis is too important to relegate based upon cost alone. Our laboratory is approved by the state and federal governing authorities to assure the highest quality.
Our laboratory examines sperm and semen using the Kruger Strict Criteria as a guideline. The sperm that we prepare for IUI conducted by our referring physicians undergo the Kruger evaluation prior to leaving our laboratory.
Kruger Strict Guidelines Include the Following:
|>=15% normal:
|Normal range – Good prognosis
|5-14% normal:
|Sub optimal range – Prognosis is fair to good, however, the lower the percent normal, the lower the chance of successful fertilization
|0-4% normal:
|Poor prognosis – Will usually need IVF with intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI)
Some of these parameters are difficult to assess which is why a trained, experienced andrologist should perform the semen analysis. A borderline sub optimal analysis may indicate that IUI will be successful but a very poor analysis usually means that IVF with ICSI will be required to initiate a pregnancy.
The decision as to which therapy to use is complicated and includes consideration of factors such as the cause (s) of the couple's infertility, infertility treatment history, female age, and many other parameters. Sometime a couple may choose to use a sperm donor.

Growing our own Food
A key principle of self sufficiency is to grow one's own food. At Gita Nagari we cultivated an acre in 2009, 3 acres in 2010, 5 acres in 2011 and 13 acres in 2012, and each time harvested an abundant crop. We had to supplement our harvests with other sources because we do not grow everything we eat…yet! We took a break in 2013 and 2014 as we acquired a dairy herd.
Being inspired from previous years' seasons, and due to requests for produce, we plan to cultivate 20 acres in 2015. This requires a focused effort so please join us in any manner that suits your schedule and interests, and experience the fulfillment that comes from working so closely with Mother Nature.

I've tried many homemade recipes for toilet cleaners and many store brands. I've found this recipe works just as well and most of the time better than anything I've bought. It's easy, non-toxic and works. What more can we ask for.
1 c. Baking Soda
1 c. Vinegar
5-10 drops essential oil (lemon, melaleuca and orange work well)
Sprinkle the baking soda in the bowl. Pour the vinegar and essential oil in. When the water stops fizzing, wipe the bowl clean.
For really tough stains, I use a pumice stone. These are great. If you don't have one, you gotta try it.

I started my summer off with a quick trip to San Francisco. The weather was FANTASTIC, and I really had to drag myself back to Houston.
So far this summer, I've been able to start quite a few projects (surprised?), and I'm really close to finishing some of them. Nothing big like the kitchen last year.

Relaxing Lavender
Lavender's Legacy
Native to the Southern Alps, peasants of that region used lavender oil medicinally as early as the 1500s. Thriving in such a hot, dry climate at high altitude, fields of true lavender were planted in Provence in the early 1900s. The hybrid Lavadin was soon created for cultivation at altitudes below 700 m.
Today lavender is grown near and far, readily available at your local nursery for your own garden. If you prefer to purchase lavender, there are many online sources for stems, oils, dried flowers, etc.
Growing and Harvesting Lavender
Lavender will grow in zones 5-8. It loves the sun, loathes humidity. Lavender is susceptible to root rot, so be generous with spacing the plants (especially since some will become quite large in time) and make sure the soil is well drained by amending with coarse sand or small gravel. With the right conditions, lavender will prove to be hardy and drought tolerant.
Harvest lavender on a dry, sunny day in the morning. For bouquets, cut stems when 1/3 to 1/2 of flowers have opened. For drying, cut when about 3/4 of flowers have opened. Prune plant (after flowering or in the Spring - each method is recommended) to about 2/3 its original size, leaving about two inches of green growth.
Using Lavender
Fresh lavender is lovely in bouquets. If you have a penchant for weaving, create "lavender wands" (look for directions on the Internet). Lavender can also be used to make a soothing tea. Pour 1 cup of boiling water over 1 teaspoon of fresh flowers; cover and infuse for 10 minutes. Lavender tea can relieve headache, insomnia, and bad breath.
Dry lavender by wrapping the bottom of a handful of stems with a rubberband, then hanging upside down in a dark, dry location for about a week. Use stems in dried floral arrangements or wreaths.
Uses for the florets (rub dried lavender between hands to remove):
1. Cut circles of tulle, fill with florets, and tie with decorative ribbon to create sachets. Place in drawers, closets, even your automobile to add its delicious scent. Lavender also keeps moths away.
2. Place loose in decorative dishes in rooms as a deodorizer.
3. Incorporate lavender into craft projects: soaps, candles, etc.
4. Make a cloth pouch, fill with lavender, and stitch closed. Add it to your dryer when drying linens.

Nuages, (pronounced: noo-aj), is a Gypsy Jazz quartet with R&B stylings. Their sound is a blend of vibrant energy and a bit of wistful romance. Doors open at 7:00 PM. A reception with refreshments will follow.
Based in Bellingham, Nuages is a band dedicated to performing in the Manouche/Gypsy Jazz tradition. They founded Nuages in 2011 with an inspiration of the music of Django Reinhardt in mind. The group pays homage to Django by performing several of his compositions. Nuages deviates from the traditional hot club quintet though, by incorporating saxophone, with guitars and bass.
They combine both traditional and modern jazz concepts in their music, including Reinhardt's works, as well as material from the Modern Jazz Quartet, Van Morrison and their own original compositions.
"Our sound includes Hot Swing, French Chanteuse, Brazilian Samba and elements of West Coast Cool," says musical director and saxophonist Michael–Paul Gurule, of Nuages.
Suggested Donation for Nuages: $15 at the door, $25 for the entire family. Proceeds benefit Parish Activities Program.
This is a great opportunity to hear exceptional local musicians play for the Lummi Island community, in a great hall, in a concert setting! As always, all are invited!

Plants and Animals' new album, The End of That, sees the Montreal trio of Warren C. Spicer, Nic Basque and Matthew 'Woodman' Woodley bridging the gap between their 2008 debut, Parc Avenue, and 2010's darker La La Land.
The band took a different, more relaxed approach with The End of That as opposed to their former sprawling, in-the-studio songwriting process. They decided to write and fully develop a large volume of material before setting the tape rolling and clock running. But whereas they spent more time than ever before preparing, they actually recorded and mixed The End of That faster than any other Plants and Animals record to-date (save perhaps their 2007 breakthrough, the brief with/avec EP). With their new songs fleshed out, the band returned to La Frette Studios, outside of Paris, and with the help and ear of engineer Lionel Darenne (Feist) wrapped up their sessions in two weeks. The end result is arguably Plants and Animals' most live-off-the floor offering.
That also makes The End of That their most intimate record. While there's no shortage of their catchy electric guitar riffs, as evidenced on lead single "Lightshow,†the album also showcases lead singer Warren C. Spicer on piano, and plenty of acoustic guitar—an early touchstone of the band that had been given a break on the last record. Fans of Plants and Animals' early acoustic work will feel right at home with The End of That, while lovers of the band's multi-part excursions won't be disappointed either; side A and B of the album end and begin with their own respective anthemic monsters.
If Plants and Animals were a person, Parc Avenue would be that person around, say, eight years old—excited, wide-eyed, scatterbrained and innocent.

Title: Silent Cravings
Author: Jess Haines & E. Blix
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Series: N/A
Publication Date: February 22, 2013
Format: eBook, 353 Pages
ISBN-13: 978-1619374713 (Musa Publishing)
Reviewed by: Shirene
The Goliath werewolves, a California pack hoping to expand into new territories, made an extreme error in judgment when choosing Christoph to be their representative for negotiations in New York. After two fights in the open with another supernatural, Christoph orders a lower-ranking teenaged Were to take the downfall for his mistakes by serving in his place under vampire Alec Royce's watchful eye.
When Christoph and another packmate try to save the girl from Royce's clutches—never mind the inevitable war they'd start in the process—the two are outcast from their pack. The vampire once again demands servitude as recompense, and they soon find themselves magically "neutered" by enchanted leather fetish collars so they can't hurt themselves or anyone else in the vampire's entourage. Hey, the collars were all Royce had handy at the time.
Just when Christoph thought it couldn't get any worse, a mute vampire named Mouse decides to claim him, taking him for her own. She has her own set of problems, what with being mentally damaged by her sire, Max Carlyle, who delighted in enforcing her monstrous nature. She hungers for Christoph, but can't stand to see someone victimized or—even worse—afraid of her.
Christoph is taught the greater lesson of what it really means to follow the Goliath Code of Honor and Mouse narrowly avoids a nervous breakdown in the process of accepting her own predatory nature. The two must learn how to live together (and deal with his new accessory)—without driving Royce and the rest of his household crazy in the process.
Quick & Dirty: Three werewolves end up in a vampire household. Will they howl or cower in fear?
Opening Sentence: The moon hung low in the sky, fat and heavy among the frosty October clouds.
Excerpt: Yes
The Review:
First, I think that this book has many redeeming qualities but the worldbuilding isn't one of them. I spent the first 2/3 of the book wondering about who were the main characters. We get so many bits and pieces of so many characters that I had to walk away from the book and let it germinate for most of the week. That is not my typical behavior with a book, especially a review book. Partly because I'm always anxious to get to my next book, and partly because if I'm not enjoying the book I want to plow right through it and move on to a better story, characters, or world. However, I felt if I pushed through this book I would be doing a disservice to the book and the author, and I'm glad I was patient.
The final 1/3 of the book was great. The reader now understands why Ms. Haines and Ms. Bux spent such time setting up the story, but it is a shame that the rest of the book was not of this same caliber. The lead up is for basically one scene and that is a shame. There is so much I feel that could have been done that it just feels like a lost opportunity.
Hopefully, I haven't discouraged you so far that you've stopped reading this review. So for those of you that have stuck it out, this is one time when the book synopsis and cover art are not in keeping with the actual book. I get what the artist was going for on the cover, but did they read they book? Probably not.
And don't get me started on the synopsis, this is part of the reason I was so confused about this book. Yes, the story is about Christoph and his tangle with Vampires and about a vampire nicknamed "Mouse" but the story is truly about all the inhabitants of Alec Royce's vampire home. All the vampires make appearances in one way or another and this was part of my confusion. Every time I was settled into the "main" story we jumped to another scene that seemed to have nothing to do with the real reason I was reading this story.
To be honest, I don't even think I would categorize this book with the Paranormal Romance genre. It is more of a paranormal fiction book and that isn't a bad thing, but not really what I anticipated. As a result, I kept anticipating "more" and was left hanging. This book is something I would feel quite happy to recommend a teenager with the understanding that their parents didn't take issue with the language. This book contains strong suggestive ideas, but overall is a clean book.
So what is my final stance on the book, I enjoyed the final 1/3 and wish that the rest of the story had lived up to that level of enjoyment.
Notable Scene:
There was one last half-pint of cookies-and-cream hidden under the vanilla. The vamp plucked the slightly freezer-burned container out, grinning as he considered how he and Jessica might use it in their "activities" later.
"What the hell does a leech want with ice cream?"
Royce glanced over his should, then straightened and turned, wary. While the vampire was somewhat muscular from a life of toil when he was human, he was dwarfed by the Were looming behind him. The guy's muscles strained against what should have been loose sweats, his features ruggedly handsome, sporting artfully curly dark brown locks and narrowed brown eyes that met the vampire's gaze with a challenging stare.
"I don't know that it's any of your business," Royce said, keeping his visage calm and unperturbed. He didn't want to encourage the Were's rude behavior to tip into a physical confrontation, but he wasn't about to let the dog think he could get away with anything either. "Excuse me."

Orchid Plants
Hi There,
About a month ago, I showed you how to dress up store bought orchid plants. In the video I mentioned that the orchid plants last a long time…specifically, I said you can count on at least 4 weeks of bloom time. I wanted to report to you that the two orchid plants I used are still in bloom a month later. The purple dendrobium orchid plant is entirely in bloom and a few blossoms are starting to fall off. The yellow oncidium orchid plant is also still in bloom, but one entire stem has died now, meaning the flowers have dropped off the stem. There is still one stem in full bloom. I like to give these plants as gifts because they last so long! Plus, most people view orchids are "prestigous" flowers. If you are willing to baby these plants, they WILL bloom again. But, typically, these types of plants only bloom once a year. So, if that is your desire, to get them to bloom again, I would invest in an orchid food and follow the instructions that come with the orchid food. Usually, it is suggested that you feed them once a month. But, check the label of the food you buy, because it could be different.

Ram Dass asks us to consider why we're so touched by a single caring act or a life surrendered into service. He suggests that perhaps it's because we see our deepest yearnings reflected in others, and this encourages us to believe in our own purity and beauty.
Each moment and every action that truly help, have something in common: through them we experience our unity. Your mind and heart are working as one; the barriers between you and another are dissolved. Service then, becomes part of the journey to remembering our oneness.
He and Paul Gorman call service a curriculum where we encounter our limitations and receive valuable information about our strengths. It reveals a larger vision of life and steadily moves us along, supporting us in our efforts to manifest that vision. It is a way in which you reach a richer understanding of life itself.
You also rediscover the spirit of your humanity and gradually come to sense profound changes in who you are. As the ego fades away you come face to face with your Divine Self which always recognizes the divine in others. It is here that you see through the eyes of harmony and peace, share from a heart of love and kindness, and live through a soul of curiosity and vitality.
Anthony Robbins sums it up well when he says, "Only those who have learned the power of sincere and selfless contribution experience life's deepest joy: true fulfillment."

Right, but when the RFID tag contains a 256, or even 512 bit code using a key generation method only known to Sony it will be almost impossible to generate an unused code to write to the custom RFID chip (which I imagine will be using some kind of online database to manage times installed etc)
HOWEVER, I would imagine it being fairly easy to take a trip to a game store, read the RFID in the unsold box and write it directly to your blank RFID media. Shame that using this method is less like piracy and more like stealing.

R.I.P. Playstation brand - you will be sadly missed (maybe that should be "will not")
No more sony products for me, will be moving to another Tv/audio hardware manufacturer and will not be getting a PS4 but will instead spend the $600+ on multiple purchases of the open systems like the Ouya and that console on a stick - or maybe just give up on consoles all together (might be time to upgrade my PC instead!)
Sad days

Goodbye PS4, the next gen is gonna be xbox720 and Steambox/PC. The writing is on the wall.
01-05-2013 #14BerserkLeon Guest
I don't think the patent mentions anything about an online database, so if such a thing as a ps4 CFW surfaces, I'm sure one would be able to simply forgo the licensing process.
Before that wouldn't we simply need to collect a bunch of keys to determine what was used to generate them, and then generate another (preferably much farther down the production line) key

I saw this on Reddit yesterday and I really wasn't surprised Sony did something like this. If Microsoft does the same thing though, it will be pretty bad for gamers.
01-05-2013 #16tilla Guest
I love the people acting like this is a foregone conclusion. They just filed a patent, doesn't mean they actually plan to implement this. I bet Sony has literally hundreds of thousands of patents for ideas that aren't used.
01-06-2013 #17BerserkLeon Guest
I get that this is all speculation. I'm just going with the 'what if?' to show it'd probably not be that difficult to defeat.
A lot of people seem to make your post. I'm sick of this news too, but replied to this thread and another. aside from those I'm ignoring it because there were like 20 dupe threads. I get it's unlikely they'll implement it.. but its something ps-related to talk about.

well, i hope they decide well in the end, and don't lose lots of PS fans

Roe v. Wade figurehead dies at 69
HOUSTON, Texas (FOX 26) -
In 1973 the U.S. Supreme Court legalized abortion. "Roe v. Wade was a monumental decision", says former congressman Chris Bell.
Jane Roe of Roe vs. Wade later identified herself as Norma McCorvey. In 1969 McCorvey was 22 years old, unmarried, unemployed and pregnant for the third time. She wanted to have an abortion, but as a Texas resident was only legally allowed to get one if her pregnancy was life threatening.
A few years, many court session and well after the baby was born and put up for adoption the Supreme Court heard the case.
"It took a tremendous amount of courage for Norma McCorvey to stand up and be heard", says Bell.
"She was in the center of an issue in America that has been going on for 40 years, 50 years, it seems like forever", says former Harris County Republican Party chairman Gary Polland.
We're told that McCorvey was a strong supporter of abortion until the 1990's when she became Catholic and decided to switch stances on the issue.
"Think about what she went through, she was the poster child for liberalizing abortion laws in America and she decided after this was all done that abortion was really not a good thing", says Polland.
Former conservative and liberal representatives say McCorvey is an example of women who may change opinions over time and that she should be respected for either stance.
"Obviously there are people with very strong views on both sides and I think people should be respectful of those views and given the way her views evolved over time I think she really stands for a reminder of that", says Bell.
McCorvey is survived by her daughter and two grandchildren. She also had two other children who were put up for adoption.

The country music song was off his self titled debut mini EP album which included 4 tracks, among which All My Friends Say became a big hit across the country. I know I've heard this song many, many times over the past few years myself and the crowds around me have always gotten into the song.

Imbruvica Approval Expanded to Include Graft Versus Host Disease
Posted 3 Aug 2017 by Drugs.com
WEDNESDAY, Aug. 2, 2017 – The U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Wednesday expanded approval for the anti-cancer drug Imbruvica (ibrutinib) to include adults with chronic graft versus host disease (cGVHD). cGVHD is a deadly condition that affects up to 70 percent of people who receive a stem cell transplant to treat cancers of the blood or bone marrow, the FDA said in a news release. The condition occurs when the transplanted cells attack healthy cells in a patient's tissues. "This approval highlights how a known treatment for cancer is finding a new use in treating a serious and life-threatening condition that may occur in patients with blood cancer who receive a stem cell transplant," said Dr. Richard Pazdur, director of the FDA's Oncology Center of Excellence. Use of Imbruvica to treat cGVHD was studied in a clinical trial of 42 people whose symptoms lingered despite standard ... Read more

Steroid Shot for Hip Pain May Carry Infection Risk If Too Close to Surgery
Posted 2 Mar 2016 by Drugs.com
WEDNESDAY, March 2, 2016 – Patients who've received a steroid injection for hip pain should wait at least three months before having hip replacement surgery, a new study suggests. "The risk of developing an infection after surgery increased significantly in patients who had a hip replacement within three months of receiving a steroid injection," study author Dr. William Schairer, from the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City, said in a hospital news release. "However, in patients who had a steroid injection and then waited three months or longer to have the surgery, there was no increased risk at all." Steroid injections are widely used to ease pain and inflammation associated with arthritis. These injections can weaken the immune system, which could increase infection risk, the researchers explained. "Hip replacement is a common and safe procedure that relieves pain and ... Read more

Knee Arthritis: Steroid Shots May Not Help Long-Term, Ozone Injections Promising
Posted 10 Nov 2015 by Drugs.com
TUESDAY, Nov. 10, 2015 – Millions of aging Americans are plagued by arthritic knees, and two new studies offer insight into what might – or might not – help curb the condition. Both studies were presented this week at the American College of Rheumatology's annual meeting in San Francisco. One study found that a popular therapy, steroid drug injections, do nothing to slow progression of osteoarthritis in the knee. This type of treatment is common, but has never been specifically tested, and there are concerns about its safety, according to a team led by Dr. Tim McAlindon, chief of rheumatology at Tufts Medical Center in Boston. His team tracked outcomes for 140 people – mainly overweight white women – with knee arthritis who averaged 58 years of age. The patients received either injections of the steroid triamcinolone hexacetonide, or placebo injections of saline, every three months ... Read more

Style transfer app Prisma is adding another couple of new features as it works to keep its community engaged: a styles store and a tool that lets users create their own styles by uploading an image and tweaking various filters.
It says the latter has been the most popular feature request from its 2M+ daily users.
While the store sounds like a route to monetizing with paid content, for now at least that's not the case. It's more a way to help users navigate new styles as Prisma releases them, rather than flooding the app with too many options. Users can browse the store to find ones they like, download them and delete others they don't.
"There are 44 styles available right now. This makes people confused as they have to scroll through lots of styles they don't like to get to the favourite one. Now people will be able to download and keep the styles that they really enjoy," it notes.
Users will also be able to rate and share styles on the Store with friends "in the near future".
And while the feature is called "Store" all content is free — at least it is for now, though adding a store does potentially open a door for monetizing via some paid downloads in future.
"For the time being, we do not consider earning money from users," co-founder Aram Airapetyan tells us.
Also today Prisma is releasing a desktop tool letting users create their own styles — albeit it's only letting its most active users get their hands on this, and they'll need a fair amount of patience for the process.
TechCrunch tested a version of the style creation tool before it was publicly released and the whole process ended up taking several days to go from uploading a photo to seeing how it styled other imagery.
Not because it literally took days, but because the wait times (for uploading/processing/review) were so opaque It was essentially easier to leave it working away and check back on it periodically. (Hey, it was MWC this week, so it's been especially busy.)
Prisma claims it takes "an hour or so" to create a style, but does warn wait times may be longer "if the queue is big". And the queue will obviously be bigger after launch, even if it's only letting a few users get their hands on the tool.
The interface at this point is also pretty unwelcoming, with a large number of unlabeled slides that can be tweaked to set rules for "content weights" and "style weights" — but no apparent way to see how tweaks will influence the finished result. It's a case of trial and error plus patience for now.

'Harry Potter' room for rent on Done Deal... only €200 a month
Fans of Harry Potter might be interested in the latest room to go up for rent on Done Deal... a cupboard under the stairs.
For only €230 a month, the lucky witch or wizard can sleep under the stairs for a period of three months.
The property is located in a prime city center location, only 25 minutes walking distance.
The studio flat currently houses two more Harry Potter fans, presumably sleeping in the kitchen and the bathroom.
Previous interesting sales on such sites include time machines, cars with "windscreen wiper jets filled with the tears of Jesus" and pints with a Navan student.

Hyperdynamics Heads to Guinea to Strengthen Ties
Hyperdynamics Corporation announced that in response to an official letter of invitation, signed by The Republic of Guinea's Prime Minister, Dr. Ahmed Tidiane Souare, the company is preparing a trip to Guinea before the end of this month in order to update the new Government on the past work and future plans for the 2006 Production Sharing Contract.
As a former Minister of Mines and Geology, Prime Minister Souare was directly involved in initiating proceedings and negotiations in 2005 and 2006 that led to the signing of the Production Sharing Contract between SCS Corporation, Hyperdynamics' wholly owned subsidiary, and the Republic of Guinea.
In a letter of invitation received by Mr. Watts on June 24, 2008, the Prime Minister wrote, "...I note your firm determination to work with my government in implementing its economic and social program. I thank you while hoping that this opportunity will materialize as soon as possible. Without any doubt, the Guinean Government is prepared to collaborate with your company in a constructive spirit to the benefit of both parties. In this regard, I wish to personally invite you to come to Guinea in order to provide more extensive information concerning the work already performed within the framework of the contract signed in 2006, as well as the timeline for future work."
Kent Watts commented, "Guinea's leadership realizes that making a commercially viable hydrocarbon discovery will positively impact Guinea economically and socially. We will soon reveal more details about this upcoming trip. We are planning at a minimum that our Executive VP of Exploration and Production, Mr. James Spear and I will travel to Conakry and give the new government a detailed briefing of our exploration progress and future work plans which include an upcoming 3-D seismic survey. This will be the first in history for Guinea and will soon lead to drilling exploration wells that have great potential to make a world class discovery."

Volume Orientation Issue
4 Attachment(s)
I am currently investigating an enclosed rotating disc at high Reynolds numbers.
The Fluid volume has a quite simple geometry. It is bordered by two surfaces of revolution, one for the shroud and another for the shaft. There are also three surfaces adjacent to the disc, one for the rim and the others for the disc sides. Finally there are two periodic surfaces which close the volume. You can see the geometrie in the attached pictures below.
I need a node spacing of 0.01 mm on each wall and at this point I got stuck. ICEM found some volume errors and I don't know how to get rid of them. As you can see from the pictures the blocking topologie is also very simple. Just entered 0.01 for spacing 1 and 2 on each edge (except the edges on the periodics) and a ratio of 1.1 . It should be that easy, shouldn't it?
I also checked the associations with the geometrie. I can not find anything. So where am I wrong?
Thank in advance!
Skewed Element
1 Attachment(s)
I saw some skewed elements. I can't fix them.
I found a way to resolve this problem. I quit blocking and changed over to a 2D blocking and extrudet it by rotation and loaded the mesh finally with it. So in my opinion it is better to use an unstructured grid for this case.
But I am pretty curious and appriciate every hint, how to mesh this geometry in 3D. Essentially that should be no problem.
It is very simple geometry. The possible problems/solutions are:
1. Association
2. Edit edge commands
3. Splitting and snap vertices
When applying a bunching law, you have to make sure it is applied to the parallel edges as well. but not all the parallel edges has the same direction. may be one of youre edge has the same bunching law but in the reverse direction
Thank you Far and diamondx for your hints.
I applied the bunching law to all parallel edges. Yes, sure one has to consider that some edges have reverse spacing direction, but in my case I just apply the same spacing for each direction, so I don't care about the direction.
I loaded a step file from CATIA V5, a very simple geometry. I assigned the outer most vertices to the corner points and split the block twice. Then I deleted the center block which represents the disc material, but not permanently. Finally I assigned all the new vertices to the geometry points and the faces to the respective surfaces. I controlled everything by EDGE\Show Association. All vertices are aligned and associated with the geometry.
I did it over and over again, but could not get any utilizable result. But if I use an unstructured 2D mesh, and let ICEM extrude it by rotation, everything is fine.
If it is not caused by my step file, I would say ICEM is very buggy. :confused:

Here is my tin file, just if somebody is interested in resolving my problem. :D
1 Attachment(s)
I didn't find any problem.
Can you attach the problematic blocking?
1 Attachment(s)
Here is my blocking.
Thank you in advance!
Is it necessary to use .01? Why not .03?
1 Attachment(s)
Far, I used your blocking and got the same problems again. There are very few cells, what are erroneous. They should be identical to the other good cells, because of the constant curvature.
I am obviously doing something wrong.
Those cells are not perfect rectangles as other cells are. Dont know why !!!
It is not necessary to use exactly 0,01 but I need to refine the wall spacing to get a certain y+ for the wall function. In the worst case I have to go below 0.01, namely 0,001.
It should be possible with 0,01, shouldn't it? Or is ICEM not capable to build such a grid with the blocking approach?
As I said, my problem is resolved. I use a 2D mesh and convert it to an unstructured mesh. The circumferential elongation is achieved by extruding the 2D mesh by rotation. I am usung -1° angle per layer and using 1 layer to get a 15° segment.
1 Attachment(s)
Hey I found the solution. It was a geometry problem. Deleted all surfaces and recreated all from curves.
I even used 0.001 without any problem.
Although I made the blocking for one portion of the geometry this time but it is enough to prove my proposition.
Far you are great!
That is a very subtle geometry failure. I will carefully reviev any geomery that is derived from a step file in the future.
I always appreciate your efforts!:)
1 Attachment(s)
Check this and give some comments that what is happening in ICEM ;)
Haha, you have an accurate eye :D
After you discovered the issue with the erroneous surfaces, it was clear to me that this must be the source of error. So I tried to resolve it according to your advice and got rid of the problem. But I checked your solution and it is fine. So thank you very much Far, and once again I appreciate your efforts.
Actually it is not only the problem due to the erroneous geometry only. Say it is 30%.
You can observe I have made the intermediate surfaces between the thin and large blocks on both sides. First to get the overall idea I only made that surface in one portion. And to my surprise I got problem in the other side (where surface is not present) although with lower intensity.
So what I conclude that closed volume is necessary to get the prefect rectangles.
Also to avoid the walls due to those internal surfaces I placed the materials points with same names in all those closed surfaces.
Got it!!! Life is full of trial and error :p

Sash aka Mphikeleli Nkabinde was born in Zola township, Soweto, 24 years ago. His father, Fana Mdluli passed away while he was still six, and he did not stay with his mother, Elizabeth Nkabinde, but opted to stay with his paternal aunts.
He is one of the many phenomenal stars to come out of Zola – which includes his childhood heroes like M'du Masilela and Mandoza. Today there are countless music stars who come out of the same township.
He has done wonders as a member of the kwaito group Izinyoka, and has come a long way before he could release his debut album Same Ndoda, as the title album states. He says it means he is still the same man as he was when he started as an unkown fellow.
It was not until Sash Omnyama (Black Sash) was discovered by fellow TS Records star, multi-award winning Brown Dash that he took his music career seriously.
Both Brown Dash and Sash grew up together in Zola, though they were not friends, only acquintances. Sash, or Pipiliza as he was popularly known then, was a member of the school choir at the respected Dr Vilakazi High School in Zola 3, where he tried to make it, but not getting anyone who could take him seriously and record him professionally.
It is also a sheer co-incidence that the same Brown Dash not only discovered but also gave him the nickname Sash Omnyama, a name given to thugs whose skin is very dark – and this name has stuck with him ever since.
"I started singing at school when I was doing Grade 9, and musicians like M'du and Mandoza locally had an influence on me. I also had a liking for international an artist, R Kelly who has inspired me ever since the first day I heard him sing.
When I met Brown Dash through Willy, who also dances for him, I was doing Grade 11 in 1999. Brown was still a member of Doc Shebeleza's group The Smokers, and when our friendship developed.

The country is the latest African nation to announce it will break ties with the International Criminal Court.
Gambia said it will withdraw from the International Criminal Court, accusing it of "persecution and humiliation of people of colour" while turning a blind eye to crimes by western nations.
The announcement came the same month that South Africa and Burundi started processes to quit the international court. Namibia and Kenya have also been mulling an exit from the body set up to investigate crimes against humanity. The African nations say the court is discriminatory, however, former ICC members have criticised the move as means to give country leaders a free hand to "commit genocide."
"There are many Western countries, at least 30, that have committed heinous war crimes against independent sovereign states and their citizens since the creation of the ICC and not a single Western war criminal has been indicted," Gambia's Information Minister Sheriff Bojang, said in an announcement on state television on Tuesday.
Gambia has been trying, without success, to use the ICC to punish the European Union for the deaths of thousands of African refugees and migrants trying to reach its shores.
The ICC, which was set up in 2002, struggles to ensure member states adhere to its rules, including the US, which has signed the treaty but never ratified it.
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon, on Tuesday, urged member states to reconsider withdrawing from the ICC.
"The court's decisions lift tension in conflict-torn regions. They help states close long-standing and damaging chapters in their common history and find a way to build trust and mutually beneficial partnerships," Ban said in a statement.

Jenesis Magzine, WPTS Radio & Drusky Entertainment Presents
Danny Brown / Action Bronson
Trash Talk
The Altar Bar
1620 Penn Avenue
Pittsburgh, PA, 15222
Doors 7:00 PM / Show 8:00 PM
This event is 12 and over
In an era of industry-obsessed MCs, interchangeable hashtag raps, and "viral" everything, it has become increasingly difficult to find a true original in the rap game, an artist able to ignite a buzz without calculatedly chasing it down. Yet ask anyone who's been paying attention and they'll tell you: Danny Brown is that dude.
Recording since his teens, 2010 was Danny's breakout year, with his self-released The Hybrid showcasing a hypnotic, unique flow that Pitchfork called "the most peculiarly infectious voice since Dizzee Rascal," while the LA Times praised it for "punch lines like Conan O'Brien if he'd come up selling crack." He built a rabid online fanbase, stole the show on collaborations with everyone from Tony Yayo to Das Racist to the late J Dilla, and covered the Metro Times as the most acclaimed underground Detroit MC since a certain blonde fellow named Marshall. When it came time for Danny to take the next step and find a real home for his new music, it was only right that he would find a perfect fit with Fool's Gold.
"When we first met, we really didn't talk about doing business; we talked about music the whole time," says Danny of what endeared him to Fool's Gold. "That was the illest thing to me, because I sat down with a lot of labels and all we were talking about was, 'How can we make this project work?' and this and that. Fool's Gold was all about being fans of music, and 'How can we make Danny Brown better?' I didn't know they were such huge hip-hop nerds. A-Trak and Nick Catchdubs, you think of dance music, but they're real knowledgeable with everything."
"Fool's Gold is thrilled to bring Danny Brown into our family," says A-Trak. "We've been supporting his music on our blog for a long time, so we're fans of his before anything else. Danny Brown represents a return to raw, gritty rap. His skills can't be questioned. He sounds and looks like no one out there, and that's something that appeals to us. We share the same grassroots values, and we can't wait to get behind his new album!"
A raunchy, cylinder-shaped ginger of Eastern European ancestry might not be the first dude you'd peg for rap stardom, but that's exactly the mantle Action Bronson is on the verge of possessing. Over the last two years, the 28-year old Queens native has become one of hip-hop's most charismatic and colorful new characters, thanks to his wicked sense of humor, a buffet of impressive releases and the rare knack for updating cherished East Coast aesthetics into indisputably modern music.
Last year, The New York Times hailed Bronson as "one of the most promising prospects in New York hip-hop." That formidable potential is now being realized. When Bronson gleefully tossed slabs of meat from Peter Luger's famed steakhouse into a wild-ass crowd at the Music Hall of Williamsburg, the mosh pit of skaters, knuckleheads, rap purists and young women was evidence of his ever-widening appeal.
Born Ariyan Arslani, Bronson grew up in Forest Hills, Queens, the son of an Albanian immigrant father and a Jewish mother from Brooklyn. He was an only child, but the population of the two-bedroom apartment swelled to as many as 13 inhabitants due to cousins, aunts, uncles and refuges from ethnic strife in Kosovo.
It was in the family restaurant that Bronson developed his enduring fascination with quality eating. After studying in the Art Institute of New York's culinary program, he took jobs ranging from busboy to sous chef. Consequently, songs in his discography often read like menu items: "Roasted Bone Marrow," "Pouches of Tuna," "Jerk Chicken," "Ceviche." Rolling Stone, appreciating the theme, described Bronson's music as "the ultimate in comfort food, with a contemporary twist."
While Bronson was a ravenous musical connoisseur who grew up admiring artists like Kool G. Rap, Cam'ron and Mobb Deep, he never contemplated rapping himself. But a few years back, he penned a satirical song over a Southern beat CD and the results were improbably impressive. With an oversized personality, intricate wordplay and the cagy charm of an outer-borough striver, he was a natural. And after a broken leg forced him out of the kitchen, Bronson began writing seriously. In 2007, joined with Mayhem Lauren and Jay Steele to release the Last of a Dyin' Breed: Volume 1 mixtape under the collective name "The Outdoorsmen."
Bronson's insistent delivery and penchant for flamboyant phraseology initially drew some comparisons to Ghostface, but he has long since matured beyond such superficialities. In 2011 alone, he released Bon Appetit... Bitch!, The Program EP, Dr. Lecter and Well Done. 2012 introduced collaborations with artists like Earl Sweatshirt, Riff Raff and SpaceGhostPurp, as well as Blue Chips, the brilliant street album produced by Party Supplies. In awarding the effort a lofty 8.1, Pitchfork called Bronson "one of the most hilarious and creative writers in rap" who savagely captured the essence of New York's seedy soul: "It is what a Weegee photograph would look like now."
In August of 2012, Bronson signed with Vice/Warner Bros Records. With the leading youth media company's multi-platform power now backing him, forthcoming projects like Rare Chandeliers with Alchemist, Saab Story with Harry Fraud and Blue Chips 2 will find countless new listeners. His debut LP on Vice/Warner Bros. Music is scheduled for 2013. For Action Bronson, this accelerating rise to greatness may just persuade him to put off "laying back, eating poutine" for a little while longer.

The 26 year-old France international joined Arsenal from Lorient in 2010 and has since established himself as a key member of Arsene Wenger's side.
No details about the length of Koscielny's new contract were given.
Koscielny has started 85 games for Arsenal over the last two years - no other player has started more at the club - and last year he earned his first call-up to the France squad.
Since then, the former Guingamp and Tours centre-back has taken his tally of Les Bleus caps to four, the most recent of which came in the Euro 2012 quarter-final defeat to Spain, where he played the full 90 minutes in a 2-0 loss.
Wenger said: "Laurent has been outstanding for us over the last two seasons. When you consider that until 2009 he was playing in Ligue 2 in France and that he is now performing at the very top level in the Premier League and for his country, the development that he has shown has been absolutely exceptional.
"Laurent is a top-class player and I am very pleased he has decided to commit his future to the club."
Koscielny added: "I'm delighted to have reached agreement with the club. I have had a fantastic time here and look forward to an exciting future with Arsenal."
Meanwhile, Thomas Rosicky is set to miss the start of the season after achilles tendon surgery.
The 31 year-old Czech midfielder picked up an injury playing in Euro 2012 and joins Jack Wilshere on the sidelines at the start of the new season.
