Want to know my secret plan for boosting immunity, fending off flu and dealing with the stress of the holidays? It may sound too easy but I'm going to consume plenty of homemade broth. Broth is a food with such restorative healing properties it's often used as medicine to nurse the sick back to health. Bone broth contains all the nutrients present in the bones it's made from — calcium, minerals, collagen, gelatin. It's an easily absorbed supplement that you can never take too much of. On top of all that, it's one of the most delicious foods I can think of. If my plan fails and I get sick, at least I'll have plenty of broth in the freezer.
Last week I splurged and bought myself a slow cooker (aka crock pot). My scheme is to have an easy way to keep the broth coming as part of this survival strategy for the winter ahead. Crock pots are so inexpensive if you don't have one, you can easily put one on your Christmas list and feel no guilt. Practically every thrift shop has a couple for sale, if you'd rather buy a recycled one. Making turkey broth in the slow cooker is insanely simple and gives us much of what we need to nourish our bodies and souls as the holiday season revs up.
Slow Cooker Broth
Turkey or chicken carcass or bones, excess skin and fat removed, some meat still attached is preferable
Stalk of celery with leaves
Onion, peeled and quartered
1/4 t peppercorns
Couple sprigs of thyme
Bay leaf
Salt to taste
Place carcass or bones in the crock pot with carrot, onion, celery, peppercorns and thyme. Some people add garlic or leeks, I put a piece of peeled ginger in mine. I've heard that a splash or two of vinegar helps draw the nutrients from the bones into the broth.
Cover the carcass with cold water, set the temperature on low. If parts of the bones stick out above the water, it's not a problem and may even add to the flavor. Come back eleven or twelve hours later and voila — you've made broth. Taste for salt and add as needed.
Strain and discard the vegetables and bones and let the broth cool before storing it in the fridge or freezer.
I made my first batch overnight thinking how easy it would be to wake up to the finished broth. I can't explain it but there's something strange about waking up during the night to the smell of cooking food. It has the ability to weave it's way into your dreams and when you get up in the morning, it's almost like you've been eating it all night. This could partially be due to our small house. If your kitchen is a separate space, or if you think this is as silly as it sounds while I'm writing it, please go ahead. Theoretically, it's a great idea but from now on, I'm going to start mine in the morning.
If you'd rather not have another appliance and want to make broth on the stove top instead, the instructions are basically the same. You can refer to my turkey soup recipe from last year here.
After Thanksgiving, just when I thought I couldn't cook one more meal, I started craving a bowl of steamy homemade soup. Nothing heavy or complicated, instead I wanted something restorative and comforting like Thai soup. Using my homemade turkey broth, I made up a not-completely-local-or-authentic version of Tom Yum or spicy Thai soup.
Tom Yum Turkey Soup
6 cups rich turkey (or chicken) broth
2 T olive oil or butter
1 shallot, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 or 2 hot chilis, finely chopped to taste (I used a couple of teaspoons of hot chili garlic sauce)
1″ piece of ginger, peeled and minced
1 stalk lemongrass, outer leaves and root end removed, cut into 2″ pieces (an alternative to lemongrass is the zest of 1 lemon and 1 lime)
4T asian fish sauce
1/2 lb shiitake mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
Juice of 1 lemon and 1 lime
1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
2 cups washed spinach
Handful of cilantro, chopped
4 baby leeks, white part only, chopped
In a soup pot, lightly saute shallot, garlic, chili, ginger & lemongrass in oil or butter.
Add broth, mushrooms, fish sauce, lemon and lime juice to the pot simmer for about 3 minutes.
Add coconut milk and simmer gently for a few minutes until warmed.
Add spinach and warm just until wilted.
Garnish with chopped cilantro and chopped leeks.
If you want, you can add some strips of turkey with the coconut milk.
Yum, tom turkey!

It must be pretty annoying to constantly have your hard work compared to an existing franchise. Please everybody this isn't Ace Combat. RBD has a good shot of making a better fusion of combat and arcade with what he's been doing so far. All I can say is the game is going beautifully. Make the perfect game you always dreamed of. If you keep this up it will PAY off!

I too share concerns of the Missile tracking and Target Acquisition System in the game. I was going to mention them In my previous review but it started to get way too long. Im not going to say that either system is currently broken. The TAS in the game should be adjusted though. It seems to be looking for the closest enemy in the field of view out to like 140 degrees. This or a system similar to this makes it difficult to track the target we were originally pursuing. Forcing the player to smash the target button over and over before we get the right one. I think the system should look for the closest target in the direction the player is pitching towards primarily. A double tap of the target button should scan for the nearest target secondarily. That would fix the current situation. But there is room for you to integrate Intel's eye tracking technology in this system as well. For the most part our eyes usually remain fixated on targets we are having trouble getting the game to acquire. If we had a system that automatically targeted what we were looking at, needless to say would fix a decades old problem.
Now as far as the missile system goes. The game loses its arcade feel the more that missiles seem to miss there target for no reason at all. The missile mechanics seem to be from missiles early in the development of long range Air to Air combat in the 70s. This may be by design however it will start to run you into (realism) problems if you try to add in aircraft like the F 22 with Aim 9x and Aim 120D missiles that have extreme maneuverability and Su 35S/F35 with its helmet mounted bore sight missile tracking system. You will end up with a choice do you add overpowered missiles into your game that never miss. Or do you add a meta game into the current system to explain why missiles dont track when they should?
So currently missiles right fully do not track when the player is engaging in a high G turn. However, if you were to incorporate the AIM 9x in a future update. That missile can be fired and accurately track a target at mach 1.8 at 9+ G. This will be an issue to use this missile because it will either never miss if its its coded for reality or will miss all the time like they do in the current system. I say keep the missile track system currently and add a feature in the HUD that shows 3 new things. 1 the G force being applied to the plane. (granted it may make you want to add some kind of G lock to the pilot for black outs and red outs) If the player can see the g forces being applied to the air-frame then they are able to understand its meaning as to why there missile seem to go off in the distance when shot at close range. This will make 1v1s that much more nail biting because mistakes from over zealously will be punishing. The second and third thing would be aesthetics by having the HUD have two modes and missile mode and a gun mode. In the missile mode. Have the theoretical path of the missile follow the intended target via a line that curves to show how the missile would track. This would show the player whether or not the missile has a good chance of hitting the target. This system can be seen in real life modern day aircraft now in training sim mode. With this amount of info to the player you could drastically reduce the amount of missiles to a more closer to a realistic situation and also increase the enemy AI difficulty. Having a similar system to the guns to show how much the player needs to lead the target in order to land bullets on the targets trajectory would also be a nice touch.
So after playing this game for several hours now. I am pleased with the progress of the development of this game. I understand this is indeed a work in progress. However, there are a few things that should be considered in near future updates. Mostly there are only minor cosmetic details that are still missing the game-play is right where it should be. In-between Ace Combat and DCS.
Cockpit: So far, the cockpit looks great. Having some indicator lights corresponding with messages from the on screen HUD would be nice EI the 'warning' and 'missile' messages in the middle of the screen are kind of awkward and hard to see. Having micro scratches and abrasions on the cockpit glass itself, would be a nice touch towards attention to detail. Maybe a visible moving joystick in-between some olive green legs would also be nice (especially for VR).
HUD: The HUD for whatever reason seems to display incorrect altitude and speed information. This maybe a result of the engine but it is something I'd look at early. The ceiling in game seems to be 13,000 but not sure if its feet, meters, kilometers. There should at least be a method to change the speed from Knots to MPH or KPH. This would at least eliminate confusion for gamer unfamiliar with aeronautics.
Graphics: Graphics are great. Having dynamic weather systems you are almost forced to fly into is a great touch. While traveling through the rain storms there should be an occasional lightning strike similar to ones in DRIVECLUB (for reference). Also while traveling through dense clouds and rain bands there should be a light camera shake in the cockpit mode to simulate turbulence. After pitching the nose beyond cloud cover which should be around 30,000 feet contrails should be still visible and thick and long lasting. At around 50,000 feet contrails should be skinnier and shorter. The game looks as if the ceiling is around 60,000 feet. You should exaggerate the Earth's curvature at that altitude if possible. So to upset the flat Earthers.
Sound: The sounds in the game seem very good. I'd only add one sound effect from my perspective. The sound of sand or small particles colliding with the fuselage of the air frame when flying into smoke or close to debris from an explosion. Maybe the occasional enemy radio chat interference. That would hearken very close the Ace Combat but by the time this game is done you will be competing with Ace Combat 7 directly so why not?
Game-play: There needs to be more indication on which settings are being adjusted in the view padlock configuration. This will prevent the need to invert some settings. There needs to be some type of countermeasures for missile lock. The visualization for where a missile is coming from is confusing. There needs to one primary method (radar map) and one secondary method. The secondary method would be better off as something that doesn't obscure the missile and the path. But shows the angle where the missile is coming from, Im thinking like a red arrow that gets larger as the missile gets closer. Enemy AI should also be coded to evade/hit the deck when they are last alive. Its very easy to kill a single enemy so the last alive should be the most difficult if they are trying to leave the engagement to regain a better position. Having them use the beautiful terrain as cover would make for an epic experience.
Honestly so far for what this game has already done it is amazing, you should ask the community for help. Im sure if you detailed the right formats to follow and had the right agreement you could get quite a bit of help from the community. Keep up the good work. Ill be donating to see this through.

www.inkthinkerblog.com — I was planning to attend Book Expo America at the Javits Center in NYC later this month, but unfortunately I've had to cancel the trip due to cash flow issues. By which I mean that the cash has been flowing out too quickly and hasn't been flowing in fast enough (See my post on 5 Things I Learned This Week That I Really Wish I Hadn't.). If you're a freelancer, I'm sure you've been there at least once before!
So I've decided to do the mature thing and stay home (sniff, sniff) rather than taking a week off of work and spending even more money without bringing anything in. I'm pouting about it, which takes some of the maturity away from the decision, but I'm sticking with it. I'm such a grown-up, do you love it?
If anyone's attending the Writer's Digest conference that precedes BEA, please let me know! Shoot me a query (which will count toward your May total for the Query Challenge, btw) and sell me on your reporting skills.
For examples of what I'm ultimately going to be looking for, check out my BEA posts from last year, when it was here in DC:

My husband bought this for me when I told him I was out of body wash. Sift soap isn't my current brand so I was skeptical. But...it smells sooo good and is actually quite nice and creamy! I have been pleasantly surprised!
The best smelling soap, love this soap around the holidays and the peppermint smell is great in the mornings it helps to make you feel awake and has a really nice texture.
I love this product! The peppermint gives your skin a breath of fresh air feel all over. I was very rejuvenating! I will definitely be using this product again.
Soft Soap Peppermint is body wash that is gentle on your skin and has a mild peppermint smell.

As promised from last weeks post on Youtube, I promised to share the "how to" on the creation of the little teaser video for transitioning from a black and white photo to color. For those that don't remember, the video is here:
To start, I took an image and pulled it into Photoshop. Realizing that I would need to do some virtually identical steps across several images, on the first one, I started the process of creating an action. The action in essence, creates a duplicate layer of the image, converts it to black and white, then repeats the duplication for another 9 black and white layer copies. So, ultimately your Layer panel has 11 layers to it – 10 black and white layers and one color layer (at the bottom).
Next, I went to each layer and adjusted the opacity down by 10%. So, the top layer was at 100% opacity, then 90%, then 80%, etc, etc, all the way down to 10%. At this point I stopped recording the action. Now, it was a simple matter of saving each of the 11 total images to a folder. I started with the full layer set visible and saved to web (Control+ALT=Shift+S). I saved to a specific folder so that each subsequent image could easily be numbered sequentially for easier management later. In the end, I had 11 images, numbered 1-11.
For the final step, I opened my video editor (Camtasia) and imported the media. Here it now may take some trial and error to determine image length, transition length, and if you want titles included. Next, I picked some audio from the native library and added to the time line. After clipping and taking the last few seconds for a fade out, the slide show was done. All I had to do now was export and share.
In Camtasia, there are many options to choose from for sharing your work online, from Screencast.net (their host) to YouTube, exporting as Flash, .mov files, .avi files, and many other options. Here you should choose the one that works best for you and your needs.
Last but not least, it's just a matter of either exporting the video you created and uploading either to your own host through FTP, or using the native interface to export to any one of a number of video hosting services as mentioned above.
For those interested in giving it a whirl, here's the action I put together in 10% increments. Feel free to experiment and try your own settings and percentages to style and taste as needed.

Saturday School: Lesson #12 – Copiousness
Lesson #12 – Copiousness
- Complete the reading assignment
- Complete the writing exercise
- Post your assignment in the comments
- Share the lesson with a friend
Successful speakers and writers know that if they hope to persuade on a given topic, win a legal argument, or move a person to action, in addition to arguing a reasonable point, they must also hold their audience's attention—from beginning to end.
Said another way, an enlightened audience will only be so if it is also a delighted audience. Uninteresting writers and boring speakers create uninterested and unmotivated audiences.
To be interesting a writer or speaker must possess copiousness.
Derived from the Latin copia, copiousness literally means abundance. It refers to the stuff writing and speaking is made of. It is the material accumulated by the experiences of life, the fodder of failure, and the absorption of wisdom that makes the writer or speaker–and what he or she has to say–interesting and meaningful.
Copiousness is possessing a deep, refreshing pool of ideas, truths, and anecdotes from which to draw delightful, compelling arguments.
This is where the commonplace is helpful. In classical rhetoric a commonplace is a delightful maxim, a striking quote, or a morsel of knowledge that is often held in common by tribes and communities. The term is derived from the Latin phrase locis communis, literally common ground. One author captures this idea by defining a commonplace as "commonly-held worldview phrases circulated in every community."1
Examples of familiar commonplaces are expressions like "spare the rod and spoil the child," or "Mind your p's and q's." The former is a maxim taken from the book of Proverbs (13:24), which is itself a kind of commonplace book compiled by Solomon, the ancient king of Israel. The latter is an English expression meaning to "mind one's manners," probably derived from the schoolhouse where children tended to mix up the p and the q, or from the pub where the patrons were reminded to watch their alcohol consumption, which came in pints and quarts.
Writers and rhetoricians have long collected delightful poems, important quotations, pithy proverbs, and striking phrases, and compiled them into a florilegium, or what is often referred to as a commonplace book. Collecting, studying, and reflecting on commonplaces is just one effective and practical means of cultivating copiousness. But it is not the only means. As the author of Fitting Words aptly observes, "Developing copiousness starts with maintaining an excellent education, reading the best books, and talking with wise men and women. It continues by expanding your life experiences."2
So having copiousness is more than just possessing a huge pile of random facts and trivia one can reach into and toss out at a whim; rather, it is the idea of oneself being full—overflowing—with nuggets of truth and words of wisdom that are easily recognizable to one's audience. Filling oneself with "true thoughts and wise words" will not happen automatically. It must be done on purpose.
Being too occupied with amusements to read books, too prideful to ask questions, or too lazy to think through difficult problems and important issues impedes the development of copiousness. As the author first quoted satirically quipped, "If you listen to stupid music, watch stupid movies, and read stupid books… well, congratulations, you're stupid. And, being stupid, you have failed in the pursuit of effective communication at the outset."3
Like a garden that must be tilled, planted, watered, and weeded, copiousness is cultivated—a work that takes time and effort. It is developed through the purposed, pleasant discipline of reading many good books, making a point of thinking about what is read, and collecting the best thoughts and ideas on a variety of topics.
Writing Exercise
Grab a blank notebook and start creating your own florilegium by finding and writing down twenty-five commonplaces in it.

Everyday, people chain interactions across multiple mobile services into single service experience. For example, when taking a trip, people switch between a number of mobile and online services as they move between here and there. Interestingly, current User Centered Design and Service Design methods generally ignore the use of other services outside of the single service being designed. Designers rarely consider entangling the service they are creating with the many other services users may wish to use. This thesis provides the current states and challenges of designing for entangled services. My investigation suggests an alternative approach; taking a stakeholder-centered perspective to capture values co-produced by services in designing entanglements.

Scientists have taken a major leap in making robot-human interaction look more natural and realistic by creating a new wearable sensor that will give robots the power of reading human's expression. With the help of ultra-sensitive, transparent and stretchable sensor, robots would be able to read facial expression like smiling, anger, disappointment, etc.
To develop the wearable sensor, Lead researcher Nae-Eung Lee from Sunkyunkwan University, Seoul, used several layers of carbon nanotube film on two different kinds of electrically conductive elastomers.
"After several tweaks, we were able to create a wearable sensor that will help robots in understanding human expression like laughing or crying and where they were looking", said Lee. He further added that this gadget will open the new gates for the medical industry. Apart from having applications in robotics, this sensor could be used to monitor heartbeats, breathing, dysphagia and other cardiovascular diseases.
Scientists believe that this new device is one step towards making human-robot interaction more intuitive. "One way to make interactions between people and robots more intuitive would be to endow machines with the ability to read their users' emotions and respond with a computer version of empathy," said Lee.
Although the device is pretty expensive today just like robots. However, researchers believe that as technology grows in future, the human-like machines will become affordable and these robots will become part of our life and to help in every task, from serving guests to helping in household tasks. These robots will become assistants to people as depicted movies like IRobot, etc.
The study appeared in the journal ACS Nano.

Purina Creates Commercial Designed For Dogs
A spot targeting a vast and previously undiscovered market demographic, dogs, rocked the world of advertising this week. Purina's new commercial contains various high frequency noises designed specifically to grab the attention (and possibly annoy) canines.
Nestle Purina, the makers of Beneful, a popular dog food, consulted with their crew of animal experts in St. Louis, Missouri to target particular canine responses to noise, specifically they wanted dogs to wag their tails.
The noises that are present in the commercial include a squeak, much like a dog toy; a whistle, which is barely audible to humans; and a high-pitched 'ping.'
On the company's website a Nestle PetCare veterinarian states, "The reaction of dogs to the sounds in the commercial depends on how the dog and owner play together, and the dog's individual experience." That means, of course, a dog that is familiar with squeaky toys will respond positively to the ad.
One has to wonder why a pet food company hasn't thought of this idea sooner. It seems pretty obvious. On the other hand, dogs cannot pester their owners as specifically as children can and a dog certainly won't recognize a brand of food by its appearance on TV. Still, all in all it's a pretty great idea.
"The television commercial aims to reach both the pet and the owner, supporting the special one-to-one relationship between them," said Xavier Pérez, European Brand Manager of Beneful.
The 23-second long commercial is scheduled to air on TV screens all over Austria.

"Damien, since you are concerned with values, would you find yourself in agreement with "treating others as you would want to be treated" as the core relational belief?" – Questioner
My response, to me true morality is not starting with an us or me focused morality as morality is a social interaction exchange thus it must be other focused. "treating others as they should be treated" To me I see everyone as owning themselves all equal in this right as humans. Moreover, to me morality is behavioral and a social property, there is no immoral thing one can do to themselves as one cannot violate themselves or their own consent as they choose their own actions. Thus, to me all morality is about others and our interactions with them and them with us. So, morality arises in a social context context with all things not that all things have the same moral weight. Therefore, moral relationships with life outside humans has a different moral weight or value.Such as killing 100 humans is not the same as killing 100 dogs, killing 100 fish, killing 100 flies, etc. Of course, the method of killing used should inflict the least amount of suffering to the animal or plant. And to not do that could make it immoral. Such as torturing them to death is immoral even if the killing was not.

In her previous post digital producer Athena Witter explained a bit about her job and what it entails. Now she talks about how she got into the business herself.
"At an early age I knew I wanted to work in TV, but never really knew as what. I considered presenting, acting, dancing, becoming an artist, but never actually took any of that or myself seriously. So I decided to go down the normal routes of study and I did a BA honours in Digital Media. At the time it was the first course of its kind and it was a bit of a risk as I really didn't know where it would take me. The course was about all things digital and how this new way or delivering content can enhance TV programming. It covered everything from programming, design, website creation, media studies, cultural studies, and video production.
I graduated in 2001. Then ended up where the media hub generally takes you – London. Before I moved I secured a job at QVC (yep that'll be the shopping channel) – not so glamorous except when Joan Rivers is on; selling her jewelry collection. I was responsible for monitoring their digital transmission suite. This included managing their product and buying platforms across online, red button, and telephone buying services. Before long I was managing a team of 7.
…But actually my first real media job was whilst I was studying my A Levels. I worked as a Telephone Researcher for Radio Aire and Magic 828, in Leeds. The research included finding out about its audience radio listening habits, music, likes and dislikes. Within this role I also became one of their promotional girls and had to wear one of those crap t-shirt and caps not forgetting the unflattering shorts! During the station's road shows I would often have to be on stage and model the roadshow prizes or get the DJ some water. Great! And a bit embarrassing at times running around after the senior team – they used to get us to do some pretty silly stuff at times…
After my time at QVC, I worked for a large digital broadcaster whose channels were aimed at the youth and female skewed audience. I became an assistant producer working on quizzes, games, website content and competitions. It was this role that really opened up doors for me; it was the first time I worked with the TV programme makers to help integrate digital as part of their shows' strategy. For example, on the Living channel's 'Most Haunted Live' we encouraged viewers to send in pictures of orbs or unexplained images, while on shows like 'Cruel Summer' for Trouble TV we asked our younger audience to text in challenges/stunts. This is when I really started to see what technology can do for TV programming.
Throughout my career I've worked across a wide range of genres, from US acquisitions, sports entertainment; The Match, game shows to reality and entertainment shows, such as Big Brother. http://www.channel4.com/bigbrother/ – yes I'm afraid I worked on Big Bother – love it or hate it. I worked as a producer for a production company who, at the time, made pretty much all the prime time entertainment shows we all know and love. There I produced extra programme content for distribution on the web, mobile, podcasts, red button services and more. Managing and working with in-house design and tech teams, I would also run a live show production team which included writers, editors and producers in a news room style production. I also looked after a team of editors, writers and camera crew – this team included a total of 30. I have fond memories of those days – fun, exhausting but amazing times.
After working there for 4 years I then moved into the world of freelance and have been doing that ever since, working across arts installation projects like Anthony Gormley's One and Other to dance shows; 'Got to Dance; music shows – 'Must Be The Music', with Dizzee Rascal, Charlene Spider, Jamie Cullum and even Daytime TV. Here I worked on delivering anything from 24 hour live reaction content, to managing talent and contestants; social media spaces and live studio interactivity.
I've produced for many years across all genres, and have gained great business knowledge on how to commericalise, produce well and engage the audience with the right content and making it available on the right platforms for the right target audience.
My current role is now more about providing brands solutions to clients such as Coca cola, Swatch, Fifa and others. I work to curate and manage the campaign. I now create commercial strategies for international distribution. Already I've been working with some very influential creative artists such as Rankin, Fred Butler, Alex Noble and music industry figures. This time it's about being on trend, cool and creative. And that's what I love about it.

As an occasional feature on TELOSscope, we highlight a past Telos article whose critical insights continue to illuminate our thinking and challenge our assumptions. Today, Charles Kollmer looks at Stephanie Frank's "Re-imagining the Public Sphere: Malebranche, Schmitt's Hamlet, and the Lost Theater of Sovereignty," from Telos 153 (Winter 2010).
In "Re-imagining the Public Sphere: Malebranche, Schmitt's Hamlet, and the Lost Theater of Sovereignty," Stephanie Frank outlines a compelling approach to Carl Schmitt's complex oeuvre. She sets out to rectify a common mistake made in existing treatments of Schmitt; in studies of Schmitt's early work Roman Catholicism and Political Form (1923), scholars tend to rely on a later work, Constitutional Theory (1928), as an explanatory crutch. Both texts model representation, but a conflation of their respective models obscures how Schmitt's project changes between the works. As a corrective, Frank traces the nuances of Roman Catholicism's model back to the influence of seventeenth-century theologian Malebranche, who in turn influenced the eighteenth-century revolutionary Abbé Sieyès. By grounding Roman Catholicism in this historical context, Frank not only sidesteps the circularity of her colleagues' interpretations but also lays the groundwork for a persuasive reading of Schmitt's turn to aesthetics in Hamlet or Hecuba (1956).
In order to demonstrate the importance of Malebranche and Sieyès for Schmitt, Frank cites his Political Theology (1922), a work in which he famously writes that "all the significant concepts in the modern theory of the state are secularized versions of theological concepts." Schmitt substantiates this claim by examining how the notion of the volonté générale changes from Malebranche to Sieyès to Rousseau; "that Schmitt was aware of the theological provenance of the notion of the volonté générale is clear" (74). Thus, Frank justifies her use of Malebranche's Dialogues on Metaphysics and Religion (1688) to illuminate the theological model of representation developed in Roman Catholicism. In the Dialogues, Malebranche's character Theodore attempts to resolve the Catholic-Protestant dispute over the Church's authority. He devises a clever thought experiment: the Church convenes a representative assembly to decide the nature of the Eucharist, only to transform the representatives to "witnesses who attest a fact that it is not possible for them not to know" (78). Frank writes, "No representative body, still less a representative body convened by the Church, could ever 'vote against' the church, because to do so would be to vote against the reality of the incarnation" (79).
Frank uses this figure, the representative made witness to "the reality of incarnation," to understand the theological particularities of representation as presented in Roman Catholicism. Here, by virtue of its special authority, "the Church represents (1) the civitas humana; (2) the person of Christ himself; and (3) the connection at every moment in history, to the incarnation and crucifixion of Christ" (71). Additionally, Frank argues that the "model of representation that Schmitt developed vis-à-vis the Church resisted translation into purely 'political' domains" (73). Indeed, Frank reads Constitutional Theory as an artifact of this resistance, in which Schmitt attempts "to preserve the structure of the incarnation but subtract the God-made-man aspect" (84). Schmitt's secularized formulation states, "To represent means to make an invisible being visible and present through a publicly present one" (70). The Church's already established authority anchors the representation of Roman Catholicism, and without it, Schmitt struggles to account for the legitimacy of political representation. He writes, "Thepresentation of the political unity is an intrinsic part of the [state] form. . . . Presentation, however, need not be the production of political unity" (85). Here, Frank interjects that "what made Malebranche's theatrical interlude so powerful was that the 'representatives' were converted instantly into witnesses precisely by the fact that there was nothing to be produced: the question of the authority of the Church had already been decided."
In the gap between Schmitt's two models of representation, Frank situates the loss of a specific, already established authority, with its roots in the Catholic theological tradition. She then proceeds to "show the way in which Hamlet or Hecuba presents an attempt to recoup in tragedy the element of the Church's representation that had . . . been lost" (73). In the following passage, Frank explores the ramifications of this attempt for Schmitt's understanding of the public sphere (Öffentlichkeit):
If, in Roman Catholicism, the public sphere was the audience of Schmitt's genuine representation, in Hamlet or Hecuba—in a peculiar inversion of Malebranche's play-within-a-play—the public sphere denotes the audience's being drawn into the representation. Schmitt returns to this point more than once. He suggests that the source of tragic action in Hamlet is the "immediately available historical reality that encompasses the playwright, the actors, and the audience." Perhaps most tellingly, Schmitt insists that tragedy only obtains in the circumstance that unites them thus:
A writer can and should invent a great deal, but he cannot invent the realistic core of a tragic action. We can weep for Hecuba. One can weep for many things. Many things are sad and melancholy. But tragedy originates only from a given circumstance that exists for all concerned—an incontrovertible reality for the author, the actors, and the audience.
In Hamlet or Hecuba, then, the playing out on stage of immediately relevant historical contingencies generates a public sphere that breaks down the distinctions that were previously so central. In the eminent representation of Roman Catholicism, God and the representative featured on one side and the audience on the other, whereas in Hamlet or Hecuba, the demarcation lies between God on the one hand and the "representatives" together with the audience on the other.
Why should Schmitt, in Hamlet or Hecuba, deconstruct the very boundaries in which he seemed so invested in Roman Catholicism and Political Form? If Schmitt does not hold out any hope for the reassembling of the lost political-theological unity, he does seem to think that a certain baroque theatricality might be reclaimed, at least within the confines of tragedy:
All the world's a stage, or so it had become in the already intensely baroque atmosphere around 1600—a Theatrum Mundi. . . . Men of action in this epoch saw themselves on center stage before spectators and understood themselves and their activities in terms of the theatricality of their roles. . . . Action in the public sphere was action on a stage and thus role-playing.
Here, Schmitt identifies the public sphere specifically with theatrical display, and he implies that tragedy makes this sort of theatrical public sphere available again. (89–90)
Using a novel strategy to read Schmitt, Frank expertly untangles his intertwining of theological, political and aesthetic argumentation. By beginning with a careful examination his historical interests, she discovers valuable clues for deciphering the motives underlying his key works. Her well-chosen excerpts and insightful commentary elucidate some of Schmitt's most fascinating ideas. Because of this, her article is sure to provoke interest, not just from readers already familiar with Schmitt, but also those with a general interest in modern theories of sovereignty.

He had previously tried his hand at business with his own brand of biodiesel, healthy cigarettes and a security magazine. The idea for DryBath was inspired by a friend of Marishane's who was too lazy to bath. "Why doesn't someone invent something that you can put on your skin and then you don't have to bathe?" asked the friend. Marishane, born in Limpopo, was voted the best student entrepreneur in the world by the Entrepreneurs' Organisation. Google named him as one of the most intelligent young brains in the universe.

Opposites Attract: a Magnetic LED Valentine Heart
Introduction: Opposites Attract: a Magnetic LED Valentine Heart
This Instructable will take you through the steps on making a magnetic LED valentine by which one can convey their feelings through a thought-felt message and glowing red LEDs. ;) Send your loved one one half, get a puzzled look, and the unite the two to form the one Valentine to RULE THEM ALL!
Please rate this if you like it! Thanks!
Step 1: Gather Materials and Cut Out Your Heart (from Cardboard)
What you need for this project:
~Four (4) red LEDs, any size/shape
~Four (4) small magnets
~Cardboard to cut the heart from
~A 9-volt battery & clip
~One (1) 330-ohm quarter watt, 5% tolerance resistor
~A soldering iron
Start out first by cutting out your two heart halves from the cardboard or other material you obtained. I just cut once by duct taping the two halves together and sketching a heart on one side.
Step 2: Add Your Message!
Pour out your heartfelt message onto the heart through your own handwriting or via a printout. I ended up doing the latter because my handwriting is so-so. .
My message read "You Complete Me", pun very much intended. I grabbed some rubber cement and glued that sucker right onto the cardboard.
I positioned the LEDs four on each side to solder in a series circuit connected by the magnets later on.
Step 3: Wire It!
I first tried a simple circuit out with the magnets to make sure it works. I then proceeded to wire up the existing LEDs mounted in the heart to the magnet combos. I decided I would be wiring a 9-volt battery out through a 330-ohm, quarter watt, 5% tolerance resistor to power the LEDs. When I saw that it worked, I then hot glued the magnets, LEDs, and the battery clip into place.
If anybody who knows more about electronics and could teach me how to better use battery power or use a better circuit, let me know via a comment or on my orangeboard. Thanks!
Step 4: Clean-Up -- Make It Fancy
I finished up the design, got rid of those pesky stray hot glue wires, and added some red ribbon for the full Valentine's day effect. It was complete. The beast had been created. Enjoy!
I have used this instructable to make a gift for my wife, very original, thank you! Only I have used wood instead of cardboard. As PMCharlemagne_920 said, using aluminum foil to cover the magnets did the trick, although it was a bit tough to solder the wires to the magnets. Thanks again for a great idea!
I had a different setup because the leds I got were 3 volts, so I did not need a resistor at all :) And yeah, she liked it... who wouldn't?
1st of all cool post & how did you solder the magnets without demagnetizing them 2ndly you could parallel the LEDs & reach the exact voltage with button cells making it less cumbersome ;) but also killing life span :(
Thanks, and as for the soldering of the magnets, I'm not exactly sure why it didn't demagnetize, but there seemed like there was a coating on them, which could be the answer. Also, there would be less heat needed to add the solder for the small magnet, so that may be the reason. Either way, it worked. If anybody could clear this mystery even further, it would be appreciated.
Awesome idea! I'm going to go a bit more crazy with the decorations and stuff, but fortunately I have until Friday before we exchange gifts :)
Just a heads up for others who are interested, if you can't get the magnets like the kind he has there (my Radio Shack only had ceramic ones that have no continuity in a circuit), you can wrap them in aluminum foil to create the connection. I did a quick test without any wires (just touching one 150 ohm resistor leg to the + side of the battery, the other trapped between 2 foil-covered magnets, the + leg of the LED touching the magnets, and the - leg touching the - battery), and it worked fine.
I plan to have 2 circuits (and a 9v on each half to power them) on my heart though. The first is with bright red LEDs (3000 mci) set up like your's on the outter edge.
My second circuit is tied into the idea to have interchangeable messages on the heart. I'll have "So Happy Together" instead of "You Complete Me" and they'll be held on via magnets. I'll have other magnetized messages that can be substituted in too (Happy Valentine's Day, Be My Valentine, etc.). When all 3 message spots have a magnet holding a word in place, 6 other LEDs will light up (dimmer ones from the Radio Shack assorted bulk pack). There may be an easier way to have continuity depend on the messages, but my plan is to have 2 magnets on the underside of the heart close to each other but not touching. The message will have a longer magnet on it, connecting the 2 under-magnets. Sorta like this:
[====] <-- Message with magnet on the bottom
- ----- ---- <--poster board or cardboard or whatever I make the heart out of
[==] [==] <-- Magnets underneath the card
It'll take some work to keep the 2 under-magnets from snapping together long enough for the hot glue to hold them in place, and to make sure that a connection is made when the message is put into place, but I think it's doable.
Anyways...again, thanks for this idea! Excellent Instructable for this week!
Cool, I'm glad I gave you a good gift idea! That sounds pretty sweet, I'd love to see it when you finish. Post some pics here when you do, if you don't mind. Thanks!
A nice decorative touch might be to spray the card with a fixing glue and covering it with a gold/silver glitter. Then using wood PVA (one it had dried) write out your message, and cover with a different type of glitter. No good if you can't write like me, but will give it a nicer finish. Girls love glittery things, much in the way that males are attracted to blue LEDs
"..much in the way that males are attracted to blue LEDs" Haha you got that right! I'll have to make an improved version sometime with that. Thanks!
I'm not sure, which is why I asked for help in step 3. :D I used the 330-ohm resistor because that's what i had laying around. Thanks for your help!

I am new to this website and overall to the forum thing. I have never posted personal questions online before =/. Anyways, I am 23 and married for over a year. I was on the pill for a year and 6 months and I hated taking them so I JUST got off the pill. I was supposed to start my new pack yesterday(Sunday) but I didn't take them. My husband and I are going to try condoms as protection instead of the pills for a bit. But, we do not want kids right now, we are newlyweds =) We want kids and if it happens, it happens, but we are not purposely trying to have a baby now.
ANYWAYS, on Friday we had unprotected sex. It was my last day of my period (period was totally gone by the time of day) but I was on the sugar pills (which I never take) week. If I were to have taken my pill yesterday (Sunday) I wouldn't be concerned. But since we did not use a condom (I know, I know,if we don't want kids then we should be more careful) and I am trying to get off the pill, I am worried. Is there a high chance I could get pregnant? According to to the ovulation calendar, I am supposed to ovulate Friday July 15. We had unprotected sex Friday July 8. That's 7 days in between. I know sperm can live 5-7 days. But is there a chance that whatever hormones that is left from my pills could prevent pregnancy?Or has it been too many days for the pills hormones to be still lingering and actually get pregnant? Not sure if I made any sense here, but basically, is there a high chance that my unprotected sex during the last day of my period on the last week of my sugar pills could get me pregnant? Thanks for your help =)
Re: Confused...
I think you'll be fine. Everyone is just going to tell you to wait until your period is supposed to start, and if you miss it.. take a test.
And since you've been on the pill for a year and a half and you're just getting off of it.. you're probably okay.
I wouldn't worry too much about it :)
Re: Confused...
I agree I wouldn't worry too much about it. I would say to be *safe* to wait and see if you get your next period or not but that is up to you. When my hubby and I were TTC September of 2009 I had just gotten off b/c and we *baby danced* a few times a week... I didn't conceive until that October when we baby danced almost every day lol.
Re: Confused...
I don't really think you should worry too much about it. Get yourself tested right away in case the start of your period got delayed for about a day or two to be safe. Give us an update! :)

I admit it...and I take full responsibility.
A guy i've been dating for a while decided one night after getting out of work to have a few drinks. I, as usual, was making fun of him until I realized he had had almost 13 beers (Coronas) by himself in a little less than an hour. He's a big guy don't get me wrong, he can handle his alcohol, but just something snapped inside. It was a wednesday about 12. He had to open again the next morning at 8. Do you see my problem with the situation.
But I completely over reacted. I was upset that I knew I would have to babysit him that night. Make sure he didn't drive and then Make sure to call him at 7 to get him to work. I don't mind these things, but at the time my head flew off and spun around a few times. I wasn't proud of my actions, and I did apologize to him for it, but I did make it clear. I'm no one to say, 'hey, don't do that.' He has his mom to call him a drunk, which she does on a frequent basis, therefore thats not my job. When I asked him all he said was 'well I don't want to fight, but I don't think me having a beer after working all day is a bad thing.' I didn't say anything after that, I was finished acting like the mom. I had a million more things to say, I just didn't.

Katrina Dogs Go Home – Custody Battle Finally Over
Well, two of them do anyway. This is a story fraught with controversy, legalities, custody battles, happiness and heartbreak. And it's just one of many.
As Katrina's waters overcame the city of New Orleans, residents poured out, many evacuated and forced to leave their beloved pets behind. The lucky ones were rescued and taken to Camp Lucky, an animal rescue camp established by the National Guard, which is where Master Tank, a St. Bernard, and Nila, a Shepherd mix, wound up.
The Coutures never wanted to give up their dogs. After his wife and grandchildren evacuated, Mr Couture stayed through the hurricane, even as 8 feet of water filled the house. He moved himself and his beloved pets to the top floor for safety. Aside from Master Tank and Nila, he also had Sandy, a Chihuahua and two dogs belonging to neighbors he was trying to care for.
Then the boats came and Mr Couture was forced to leave, and leave the dogs behind, only people allowed. After finding all the food and water he could to provide for the dogs he reluctantly left, swimming under water to get through doorways to the evacuation boat along with two other family members.
Days later when he finally made it where the rest of his family was he had to break the devastating news, he was forced to leave the dogs behind.
It was almost two weeks later when Mrs. Couture's brother was able to make it back to the parish using family connections to get through. He was able to smuggle the Chihuahua out under his shirt and could see the other dogs were not doing well, having only toxic water to drink. He left them more food and water and went about getting them help. He took them to Camp Lucky on September 18 and they were signed in as 'owned' under Steve Couture's name, as you can see by the intake picture of Master Tank, the St. Bernard.
On Sept 21, Master Tank and Nila, two of 288 Katrina dogs were taken to Pinellas Humane Society in Florida. After a period of 30 days the dogs were put up for adoption. Master Tank was adopted first, on October 14 to Pam Bondi and Nila on October 28 to Rhonda Rineker.
And the saga really starts from here. It wasn't bad enough that the Coutures lost their home and basically their entire life, when they tried to retrieve their pets they were met by mountains of red tape, ignored phone calls, outright lies and deception on the part of the Humane Society they say.
Humane society officials say they followed county law, which required that groups taking animals from disaster areas hold them for 30 days before adoptions become final. Representatives of the humane society also claim that they did their best to find the owners of the dogs, although officials have declined to say publicly what actions were taken.
The Coutures finally tracked down the location of their dogs in January, after finding copies of the original paperwork from the Camp Lucky files.
They were aided in contacting the Pinellas Humane Society by Ceily Trog, manager of St. Bernard Parish Animal Control, and a well-respected local leader in animal welfare.
Trog said she could not even get the director of the Pinellas Humane Society, Rick Chaboudy, to return her phone calls. Then, other people working with the Coutures obtained the names of the board members of the humane society, and also began to contact local officials to complain.
Eventually, in March, people working on behalf of the Coutures were able to obtain the spreadsheet of information about the Katrina dogs at Pinellas, with the help of Dr. Kenny Mitchell, Pinellas County's director of veterinary services.
In the midst of all this controversy, Chaboudy abruptly resigned from his post at the humane society, which he had held for nearly 20 years. As a result of coverage of the Coutures' dilemma, the county adopted an ordinance in June that mandates that all adoptions of animals rescued from an emergency situation would be conditional for six months.
Trog says dealing with the Pinellas Humane Society was a struggle from the beginning. Far from doing everything they could to locate owners, she believes the staff of the humane society was obstructionist and dishonest – at one time even claiming that the paperwork for Master Tank and Nila indicated they had been surrendered by their owners.
"We heard just one lie after another, anything to keep these people from getting back their pets, as if they hadn't been through enough," she says. "They are asking in the papers, 'Why did it take these owners so long to come forward?' Well, it took them so long because the humane society obscured where the animals were, downright lied, and didn't give people a chance to reclaim them." (Best Friends Network)
When the Coutures tried to reclaim Master Tank, renamed Noah by Bondi, the fight began. It turned into an international media circus.
Biondi claimed she saved the dog's life. When she got him she says Master Tank was emaciated, full of intestinal worms, had a broken nose, eye and ear infections, stomach problems, and severe heartworm disease. Biondi didn't try to pin all Noah's problems on the Coutures but the heartworm she feels was obviously an pre-existing and life-threatening problem and in contacting Nila's new owner, Rineker, found Nila, renamed Gracie, also heartworm positive.
The vets at Camp Lucky who examined the dogs prior to transport to Florida assert the dogs were reasonable healthy and were given shots for intestinal worms, a condition which they needed to watch out for considering the conditions many of the Katrina dogs had faced.
In the beginning of July 2006 the Coutures filed suit with the assistance of a pro bono attorney and a fund that was set up to aid financially in their legal battle. For most of a year this dragged on, accusations and recriminations and a high media profile from Bondi.
Finally yesterday it ended. Reniker who adopted Nila maintained a low profile during the whole thing and had returned her to the Coutures already and Master Tank was returned after the press conference.
Katrina Dogs Heading Home – This is just one of the many stories in 'the final chapter' of this saga that should never have been. When the Coutures tried to reclaim their dogs the new owners should have relinquished them. Bondi's media theatrics and grandstanding did nothing but waste time and money and keep a dog from a family that loved him.
Pam Bondi stepped up with a torrent of resistance and outright lied to hang on to a dog she knew belonged to this family. The story was shameful. A trial was scheduled to begin shortly, one I believe Ms. Bondi would not have won. She would have us believe now that she visited the Couture family and she decided they were fit enough to return the dog to… also shameful. The character of this family was never at odds but Ms. Bondi has managed to forgo a trial she would not have won and the family has even agreed she may visit the dog or have visitation… something Bondi needed a Judge to order her to do when the shoe was on the other foot. She has caused this family undue stress and financial loss as well as confused the dog even more by holding it for such an incredible amount of time knowing he would one day go home. Shame on her… she should save her "spin" for the Fox network. (Best Friends Network)
Mrs. Couture says the family has now moved into a four-bedroom house with an acre of land, and is fully prepared to take care of the dogs again.
"They were well taken care of, they were loved, and it is time for them to come home," she says.
Mrs. Couture says that Master Tank and Nila, both four years old, were absolutely devoted to each other, and one of her biggest concerns was that they had been separated.
Now the Coutures can take their beloved pets who they searched and fought for for well more then a year to their new home.

SU, Syracuse Stage, Ping Chong & Co. bring 'Cry for Peace: Voices from the Congo' workshop to NYC
Syracuse University, in association with Syracuse Stage and Ping Chong & Company, will present a workshop presentation of "Cry for Peace: Voices from the Congo" on Tuesday, April 5, at the Beckett Theater at Theater Row, 410 West 42nd St., New York City. The new, riveting piece of documentary theater was first presented in Syracuse in the form of three developmental workshops at Syracuse Stage last December.
"Cry for Peace" was written by internationally renowned theater artist Ping Chong and local playwright and Syracuse Stage dramaturg Kyle Bass, with Sara Zatz, associate director of Ping Chong & Company, in collaboration with the Congolese community of Syracuse. Cyprien Mihigo, a member of the Congolese community, served as dramaturg and cultural consultant for the project, which was part of an SU Chancellor's Initiative.
The piece is based on interviews with members of the Congolese community, some of whom perform in the workshop. Chong, director of the 2008 Syracuse Stage production of "Tales from the Salt City," returned to Syracuse to direct the workshops.
"Cry for Peace" is part of "Undesirable Elements," an ongoing series of community-specific oral history theater works by Ping Chong & Company. Created in 1992, each production draws on the life experiences of the participants who tell their stories in their own words, shaped in rehearsal to create a vivid and compelling theatrical narrative.
"Cry for Peace" aims to promote healing, unity and reconciliation among local ethnic groups and individuals in the Congolese community, as well as peace in the Congo. The ultimate goal of the project is to develop a performance that can one day be presented in the Congo.
SU's Joseph I. Lubin House, home of the University's New York City operation, assisted with planning the NYC workshop presentation of "Cry for Peace."
