Kotsenburg improvises, wins gold medal
KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia — Sage Kotsenburg loves snowboarding for all its unexpected surprises.
Winning the first Olympic gold medal in slopestyle, for one.
And winning it with one trick he'd never tried before and another that included a self-invented grab of the board he named the "Holy Crail."
The 20-year-old American jetted off the first big jump of the slopestyle course Saturday and whirled around for 3 1⁄2 rotations while flipping twice. All the while, he was grabbing the front of his board with one hand and the nose of the board with the other.
At the bottom, he helicoptered through 4 1⁄2 rotations, while grabbing his board and flexing it behind his back.
"Never even tried it before," Kotsenburg said. "Never, ever tried it in my life."
Kotsenburg landed both jumps cleanly. The fans in the mostly full stands, knowing they had seen something completely different in a completely new Olympic sport, let out a huge gasp after the second one.
On the strength of those tricks — the Cab Double Cork 1260 with a Holy Crail grab and a Back 1620 Japan Air — the kid from Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, known as "Second Run Sage," posted a winning score of 93.5 on his first run.
Nobody in the 12-man field of finalists could top him. Kotsenburg put the first gold medal of the Sochi Games into the "USA" column. Soon after, he and the other medalists, Staale Sandbech of Norway and Mark McMorris of Canada, were hugging, body-slamming and turning their sport's "Kiss and Cry" zone into a mosh pit.
"I kind of do random stuff all the time, never make a plan up," Kotsenburg said. "I had no idea I was even going to do a 1620 in my run until three minutes before I dropped. It's kind of what I'm all about."
Kotsenburg's jumps were the high point of yet another sunny, windless day at the Rosa Khutor Extreme Park. Combining all that, along with a bit of half-expected, half-legitimate griping about the judging, made it easy to forget that Shaun White had pulled out of this event before qualifying, complaining about the toughness of the course.
Norwegian biathlete Ole Einar Bjoerndalen won the 10-kilometer sprint — his seventh career gold. Cross-country skier Marit Bjoergen, also from Norway, captured the women's 15-kilometer skiathlon for her fourth Olympic title.
At age 40, Bjoerndalen became the oldest Winter Olympic gold medalist in an individual sport, bringing him within one gold of the all-time mark of eight held by Norwegian cross-country skiing great Bjorn Daehlie. He was followed by Dominik Landertinger of Austria and Jaroslav Soukup of Czech Republic.
"I am in super form," Bjoerndalen said. "I prepared well for this and I am feeling strong."
Bjoergen's gold was tempered by grief. The brother of teammate Astrid Uhrenholdt Jacobsen died "suddenly and unexpectedly" a day earlier, according to Norwegian Olympic officials. Bjoergen, joined by teammates, sobbed in an embrace after the race.
"We really did a good race for him today," Bjoergen said.
Bjoergen held off silver medalist Charlotte Kalla in the final straightaway to win in 38 minutes, 33.6 seconds, successfully defending her title from Vancouver. Norway's Heidi Weng won the bronze.
"One gold was my goal, so now I can relax a little bit," Bjoergen said.
Sven Kramer of the Netherlands set an Olympic record and defended his speedskating title in the men's 5,000 before his country's king, queen and prime minister.
Kramer has been bedeviled at the Olympics, notably in Vancouver when his coach pointed him to the wrong lane in the 10,000. But on this day he surged around the oval, winning in six minutes, 10.76 seconds, and leading a Dutch sweep in which he was followed by Jan Blokhuijsen and Jorrit Bergsma.
"That Sven was able to deliver despite such pressure, it leaves me speechless," King Willem-Alexander said.
The U.S. won the opener of the Olympic women's hockey tournament, defeating Finland, 3-1, behind Hilary Knight's goal 53 seconds into the game and Jesse Vetter's 14 saves. The Americans can reach the semifinals by beating Switzerland on Monday. Canada beat Switzerland, 5-0.
Justine and Chloe Dufour-Lapointe joined a few other sisters to win gold and silver in the same Olympic event. They did it in women's moguls, where their oldest sister, Maxime, made it into the finals and finished 12th.
French skiers Marieele and Christine Goitschel and Austrian lugers Doris and Angelika Neuner are on the short list of sisters to also go 1-2 in an Olympic event.
"A dream. A long time, we've dreamed this," said their father, Yves. "It doesn't get any better than this. It doesn't."
Hannah Kearney of the United States, the defending champion and top-ranked woman in the world, went last and had a big bobble after her first jump. She settled for bronze.

Bathing a newborn
Child Development / / August 12, 2017
first bathing the newborn
first bathing the newborn parent event no less exciting than the first "mama" or first step.Indeed, such a pipsqueak!Whether he liked it?Would it not be too hot or cold?What if he slips?And if dad does not hold?And what if you start crying?These and many other questions are swarming in my head new parents when they triumphantly carried her newborn little son or daughter in the bath.Let's think what may affect the success of this exciting event.
The main thing you need - a bath.Would you bathe a baby in an adult tub or acquire a special, child - you decide.But nevertheless, it is desirable to have a little baby bath, even if you are going to immediately arrange a swim and dive to the envy of the dolphins.Firstly, in our country often disable the hot water and a large kettle boil easier than three or four buckets.
Secondly, babies are sometimes skin problems - allergies, diathesis, erythema, etc.In all these cases bathing indications for medicinal weed - again, a big bathof their need three times as much.And yet - in a small bath, in our opinion, in the first months easier to make "water charging," especially if the bath with a slide.And keep it clean much easier.
bathing temperature newborn
second - is the water itself.Many are advised to bathe newborns exclusively of boiled or bottled water.It all depends on the purity of the water supply system in your city.If there is a risk that the tube will flow from Legionella or even some kind of harmful stick - preferably to be safe than to suffer in the hospital.And if you want to boil water "to mitigate", better use herbs, sea salt and foam bath.
water temperature - an individual matter.The choice here - the baby.But the first time, the water temperature should be 36.6 C. If you do not have special water thermometer, dip in the tub elbow (fingers harder to determine).If you are neither hot nor cold, so the temperature is chosen correctly.But better still buy a thermometer!
Then watch the baby.Some children prefer vodichku warmer, others - colder.And "inappropriate" temperature can cause moods and bitter crying in the bathtub.How do you know your child is cold or hot?If crumbs cold, it is compressed into a ball, he is blue nasolabial triangle, after some time, the baby begins to tremble ...
If it's hot - the skin turns red, the child becomes lethargic and, again, be sure to express protest crying.Do not worry - if you make a mistake, and once or twice, nothing terrible will happen.It taps with hot and cold water close by, and you can always make the water comfortable for the baby.A month later, bathing you'll accurately pour water just the right temperature, which is like the kid.
Means for bathing newborns
third - means for bathing infants.Absolutely can not use antibacterial agents - you can break the natural microflora of the skin and stimulate the development of serious diseases.According to dermatologists, and traditional solid soap having a reputation as a good cleanser, an extremely negative effect on the baby's sensitive skin.
Why is this happening?On human skin has a protective film, which is often called hydrolipid mantle.That it does not let the sun, wind, water and other aggressive external factors have a negative effect on the skin.In babies, this protective film is very thin.Natural level of acidity (pH), baby skin, wherein the protective film is normally performs its function, it is 5.5, while the most mild and moistened solid soap component is present in the range from 7 to 10.
alkaline substances contained inordinary soap, neutralize or destroy the natural level of acidity of the skin, in other words "erase" a film that creates a barrier to bacteria.This means that the risk of infection of the sensitive baby skin increases.
To restore the protective layer of the body baby brings to the surface moisture of the deep layers of the epidermis.Thus starts a process of deep drying thin delicate skin.And every time, these processes are amplified.What to do?It is better to take advantage of modern soft and gentle means for bathing.They have a radically different formula, to achieve full compliance with the level of pH of children's skin.
These tools not only damage the skin of a newborn baby, but also to help her cope with the aggressive external influences.Soft, not containing soap foams, creams and gels effectively removed from the surface of the baby's skin and water-soluble dirt, keeping hydrolipidic mantle.This gentle cleansing prevents irritation and dryness.And also help to preserve the protective functions of children's skin.
How to use the funds for bathing a newborn?First you need to prepare in advance "water space" - with a thermometer to make sure that the water temperature is about 37 ° C, add a little foam in the tub for bathing and create a light foam.After the baby around in the water - keep in mind that to do this he can only under your supervision!- Take a little bit of foam for bathing and gentle massage on the skin, apply a beloved child.If the tool is also suitable for the hair, gently wash their child's head or use a special baby shampoo formula "No more tears."
Useful additives
Sometimes nice to bathe the baby in the bath with sea salt.To do this, dissolve sea salt in a saucepan, strain through several layers of cheesecloth and pour out before bathing in the tub.A solution of sea salt, which will remind the crumbs of the days spent in my mother's tummy, very useful.Bathe, drench the baby plain water to wash off the sea salt, if the solution was sufficiently concentrated.
Great fit for swimming and all kinds of herbal teas.If the child is restless, you can bathe him in a coniferous solution, if you have problems with the skin - in the infusion or series of elecampane.Do not bathe your baby in the infusion of chamomile - it dries the skin, but to use it as one of the components is possible.
general, before experimenting with herbs, consult your doctor - he will help you choose the optimum composition.
time for bathing a newborn
fourth - this time bathing newborn .Traditionally, we choose for the evening swimming.But, believe me, it is not necessary!There are children who are swimming overexcited, and they are then difficult to fall asleep and sleep poorly.If you notice such reactions in your baby - why not bathe him in the morning?After the baby is not in a blast furnace, and to wash off the sweat daily worries it is not necessary ...
Some babies prefer to bathe before eating, others - only on a full stomach.Some fall asleep immediately after bathing, while others - will play tricks a couple of hours.Sometimes it seems to us that it is "whims".But it is not so.Similar "requests" are closely related to the physiology of the baby, especially the nervous system."Break" the crumbs and insist on its - is not difficult.Only someone from this will benefit?
Tune, Mom!
fifth component of a happy bathing - and perhaps most important - the mood mother.More often than not, growing up, water, afraid of those children whose mothers were shaking as rabbit tail, when the first bathing baby.Thus, they gave her children sign: water, swimming - it's scary, it's dangerous!
Since the baby instantly reads the internal emotional state of the mother and remembers it for life, if bathing there is something that bothers you, what you are not sure - double-check it three times before taking the baby in his arms and carry water.
If you overcome yourself you can not, let the child bathes dad, grandmother, nanny.You can ask to bathe with you baby visiting nurse from the clinic - she gladly will show you how to do it right.In the absence of helpers, output is still there.Do not hide from your baby's condition!Conversely, share with them the existing fear.Tell us what you are afraid to do that now awake.
After retiring in a "conversation," in two or three times you will feel.What are your fears gradually evaporate.And the child, even though consciously, can and will be badly perceived, is talking about his mother, but depicting fear he will not stay ...
Poteshki bathing newborns
Create a happy mood for you and your child to help nursery rhymes and little poems thatlong used when bathing babies, "water off a duck and a baby - thinness", "Vodicka, Vodicka, Machine wash your face."
- «There was a swimming turtle
- And trembled with fear all.
- Bul-bul-bul, Bul-bul-bul,
- How I did not drown! »
- « We swim, we splashed,
- And some water we're having fun!
- legs up, foot down!
- handle up, pen down!
- Legs twirled,
- and swim as uchi!
- Splash, splash, wham-wham!
- wipes! »

Introduction: Make Your Own Plastic Tote Bag From Recycled Plastic Bags
Have you ever wanted to do something with all those plastic bags from the market? Maybe you don't have a recycling center that will take them near you. With a little time and creativity you can make some pretty cool stuff like this big tote bag.
I know that this may not be the first on this subject but maybe I can share some ideas not covered by others.
If you like my effort here please take time to rate it.
Step 1: What You Will Need to Get Started
You will need a ton of bags. I think I counted 30 bags by the time I was done with the tote bag. You will need an iron that can be set to low heat and some scissors, aluminum foil and something hard and flat. I used plywood.
Step 2: Prep the Plastic Bags
I am sure that there may be many ways you can do this but here is the way I have been using.
First I cut the bottoms off the bag.
Next cut the handles from the top of the bags.
I then cut up the side of the bag and open it up.
Next, cut the logos and any other ink from the bag. If you leave the printing on it will be difficult to add color and graphics later that stand out.
Now cut strips from the bag by making vertical cuts every 1.5 to 2 inches apart.
I like to place the different types of colors in separate piles.
*** Although I have yet to try this tip out myself one thing you can do is cut 3in diameter circles instead of strips. It would give the bag a different look altogether. Donââ¬â¢t be afraid to experiment with new styles!!!
Step 3: Making the Handles
I made my handles with long cuts of plastic by cutting the bags longwise without cutting the ink areas out you can get plastic strips long enough to make strong handles.
First gather six long strips and tie a knot where you would like the handle to start and tie another where you would like the handle to end.
I take a single strip and wrap it around plastic strips starting at one knot and ending at the other knot.
With your iron on low cover the middle handle area between knots with foil and make a couple passes over the foil. Be careful not to touch the unprotected plastic with the iron.
Take a look at your progress if it looks like the layers are fused together flip the handle over and iron the other side.
Step 4: Setup for the Tote Bag
Layout two sheets of foil side by side. If you want to make a bag that is 25" tall by 20" wide you will need 50" lengths of foil by 20" across.
Start laying down your first layer diagonally over lapping the strips as you go. I used brown bags for my first layer because I had an overabundance of them.
Next I lay down my second layer diagonally as well but in the opposite direction then the first layer. For this layer I used all white. I guess I was thinking that a blank canvas starts out this way so I would do that as well. also I did not have a large variety of colors to play around with.
Now that you have two layers laid out you can add the graphics, etc.
Step 5: Personalize Your New Tote Bag
This is the best part.
I wanted to see how a grey strip across the bottom of my bag would look so I put gray plastic strips along the center line. Also I signed my name with a red sharpie on two strips of white plastic to see if artwork drawn on plastic bag parts would turn out and it did.
I also cut graphics from other plastic bags and used them on mine.
Arrange your graphics and colored plastic bag parts on the "canvas"
By the way because shrinkage occurs during the fusing process it is not reliable to use anything that is not able to shrink or bond to the plastic with heat. As you might be able to see I used a dollar bill as a test and it did not turn out the way I had hoped.
I think people in big cities will have the best bags to choose from for colors and graphics so those of us out in BFE will have to draw our own with sharpies.
Step 6: Cover Your Graphics With the Last Layer
You will need to add one more layer of plastic bags to you project to seal in your graphics.
I try to save all the clear or translucent white bags for this step.
Step 7: Fuse the Layers Together
Now we are ready to fuse the layers of plastic bags strips together creating a new purpose for old bags.
Carefully cover the main area of the project with two pieces of foil that match the size of the first two.
You will want the edges to remain unfused so we can join the two sides by fusing later.
Alright lets take that low heat iron and starting at one end move the iron over the foil in a pattern that applies heat to all areas you have the foil over.
As the plastic cools it will shrink a little. the shrinkage will cause bunching but you can fight the bunching by applying pressure with your flat object (plywood in my case) right after the heat is applied. Remember that too much heat is not good as it will create burn thru holes and unless your going for that crispy look you will want to avoid this.
once the top is complete and your graphics are sealed in you should flip your project over and run the iron over the opposite side.
Step 8: Fusing the Handles to the Body of the Tote Bag
At the left and right ends of the bag we will need to add some handles.
I folded the unfused edge over to create a nice straight edge.
Now you will want to place you handle about where you would want it. Make sure when you do the other handle at the other end it lines up with the one you did at this end of the tote.
I tuck the unfused ends of the handle under the unfused ends of the edge and place a foil sheet over the area and fuse the sucker with the iron.
I do the same to the other end.
OKAY! on to the next step!!
Step 9: Fuse the Sides of Your New Tote Bag
Bend the bag in the middle so that the handles meet.
You should have edges that still need to be fused on the sides of your bag.
I found that by using a square of plywood inside the bag area while fusing the sides helped keep the edge straight as I fuse.
Step 10: Done!
Now you should be done. And I hope your bag looks a lot better!!!
I would like to see some of the work others have done with this method so if you have made something by fusing plastic please show us by posting photos in the comments area!
Thanks a ton and please rate my instructable!!
Thanks! You can make tons of stuff using this method. I think I am going to try to make a Rain Poncho or coat. Also a shower curtain came to mind for future projects.
A shower curtain would be so cool! It would be a great attraction in a guest bathroom. Imagine all of the compliments you'd receive from visitors.
This is certainly creative! Recycling plastic products is great for the environment but as stated earlier be careful around the birds. I am wondering what do people use this for primarily? I know that looks are not everything but id like to hear what are the most common uses for these bags. Ill start ( this is speculative since I haven't personally made these yet) I think Id use them to organize some of my loose items in the garage. ( like my cleaner, towels etc. Perhaps put some of my camping gear in there. Also have you tested the strength? It would be nice to know approx how many pounds these can hold. Anyhow thanks for sharing and keep up the recycling!
Need more instruction on this step please? Also is there a way to make the bag more square rather than flat?
If you have birds in your home, be sure to do this in an area where they won't be exposed to the vapors at all. The fumes from plastic fusing can kill your birds.
Hi: Just curious, what are you using to fuse besides an iron and foil? Gosh, no one wants to kill the birds............ Is there another method?
I still use an iron and foil. Just be sure to do this away from the birds in your home and in a room that is ventilated to the outside air. That's just a good practice, even for yourself.
Sorry for the delay. I've been away for quite a while...
I'd been saving empty cereal bags waiting for a something interesting to do and your project inspired me. I used a method I saw on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtB2c6pdUOU)and just cut the tops and bottoms off of 4 layers of walmart bags for each side. I placed pieces of a Steve & Barry's bag to fill on the clear window on the cereal bags and to make the bottom (with about 3 layers of the walmart bag btwn two pieces of S&B bag). I also cut out the cereal name and kangaroo and placed them inside the window as well. With an iron set on 3, I fused the pieces between sheets of parchment and used thick cardboard instead of wood. I used your no sew method to fuse the bags together and used bag scraps to fuse the handle on the bag. Fun project, next time I'll try it with gift wrap, newspaper or post cards. Thanks for a great instructable! Now we have a cool storage item for the kitchen.
It'd be great if instead of just a few pics you'd actually make an instructible for this so we could see what you did.
I do too, but since I'm more careful about recycling than I am about making sure I have a tote when I get groceries I end up with more bags than I need for trash can liners.
So this might be fun.
is that a real dollar bill fused in the top photo? how fun to think of things to fuse inside. i am a knitter so i could fuse in lots of little bits of yarn left from other projects. and i am going to have my kids draw all over the bags with sharpies before i fuse the layers. i don't know where you guys find such groovy-looking bags though. the ones i see here and there are all uggo. i have a goal of never bringing another plasty nasty into my house but i still have a small stash i am trying to use up productively.
Wow that blue looks really good! Now when I am at the store and see bags of bright colors I try to think what it would look like fused together! Thanks for sharing Blueboyx31! It made my day to see someone else's bag!!
I will be posting my plastic bag idea reallllllll soon............. you all inspired me!!!!
'I just want to say that these items are absolutely wonderful and you people are so talented. Could someone tell me how to fuse the bags if not with an iron? God bless you all. I love this website..........
and this was a test. My aunt wanted me to make one since she uses the plain eco friendly bags from the grocerie store. She wanted something different.
To those who may be thinking of heating plastic bags... Please be sure to do this either outside, or in a VERY well ventilated area. Very volatile and toxic chemicals are released from heating plastic bags. Do not inhale the vapors released from them.
I agree. As with any project, painting, cutting plywood, etc. you have to take precautions. Thanks for bringing this up. When making this project open a window. You might say to yourself that you can't smell any fumes but there are some there.
So here are a few facts....the MSDS sheets " Materials Safety Data Sheets" companies have to have available only say temperatures 450 or above cause Carcinogenic fumes.( I used to work in a factory where we extruded at high temperatures compounds such as PVC .) On the few occassions temperatures became to high ( causing actual smoke ) we were forced to evacuate premises til back under control and aired out. **So far their is no data listed nor available on any long term effects . So as long as safety measures are followed. My turned out hideous.
I have to strongly agree with you. I had a friend pass away from a form of lung cancer. He was dairy farmer, and a non smoker. He used to collect a truck load of old bread from the bread factory to feed to his stock when other food was short. He would then burn the bread bags in the paddock. He suffered the consequences and is no longer with us. Each to their own, but this is one instructable I won't be trying. The fumes from melting/burning plastic can and do kill!!!
With all due respect to the memory of your friend, I doubt that the lung cancer is incontrovertibly due to burning bread bags. I wouldn't deny the possibility of it being a contributory factor...
This project is a far cry from standing over a pit of burning plastic bags every Friday night chugging milk and wiffing plastic smoke. If your plastic bags start to smoke then stop what your doing and leave the area. Check your iron to make sure it's on the lowest setting.
Wow! I just joined instructables a couple days ago, I am looking around at some tutes and I found a picture of my bag! Thanks for the compliments user669. (I am eclipse_etc on Flickr)
I didn't want people to think that they all turned out as ugly as mine did! lol Welcome to Instructables!
OK...all was good up until step 9. You did a whole lot of stuff, but only supplied a few words. It was hard for me to determine what you had done by just looking at the pics. I can see the wood in the pic, but I have NO idea what you are doing with it...Are you ironing on it? HELP I want to make one of these, but my "remedial" mind is having a hard time processing step 9. :(
i had the idea that you should use the equivalent of the type of seam that is used on the legs of jeans, but instead use melting instead of sewing, and then, of course, turn it inside out so that the seam is more aesthetically pleasing.
Hi, Sorry I lost you on step 9. I placed the wood where I wanted the inside edge of the bag to be. The wood is acting as a guide to help keep the sides straight. Without the wood there I found it hard to fuse the inside edges nice and even. I use the wood on both right and left side of the bag. I am not ironing on the wood but along the side of the wood on the outer edge. Hope this helps!!
Thanks...I am a little closer to seeing the light...OK..can you post a picture of just the sides of the bag?? That would be a TREMENDOUS help. If I could see that, I could then figure out the rest, sorry but I tend to be a visual learner... Thanks...
Just of the sides as you are holding it up in your hands and one of the sides taken from the inside. Thanks...
I LOVE this! Easy to follow (I don't know if you updated after the other folks read it, but it's totally simple!), cute, and fun! I tried weaving the strips... didn't turn out so well; it got kinda chunky, but I might have just had the iron too warm. Thanks for the great instructable!
I tried this. Thanks for the thorough instructions. I pretty much read through it and then improvised a few things for myself. I added side panels on my tote bag so that it holds more. Also, instead of doing the final exterior layer in white plastic, it looks much better to iron on one large sheet of clear plastic from a dry cleaners bag to seal the designs on. I cut yellow triangles out of the one yellow plastic bag that I had as the exterior pattern and it turned out great with the clear layer on top. I also used the big red star from a Macy's bag as part of the design. Another bit of advice, kick up the temperature of the iron to fuse the thick parts together (the sides to the body of the bag, the handles) because it's much quicker. Beware, this project took me three hours to complete by myself. WAY longer than I expected but it was fun and I love my new bag. I got comments on it at the grocery today! Definitely worth trying!
It seems that you must have left something out as it is very hard to understand just exactly what you did. Even tho' it was an ingenious idea, it is a not a neat bag to be taking anywhere. Sorry.

Econometría de evaluación de impacto
In recent years the program evaluation methods have become very popular in applied microeconomics. However, the variety of these methods responds to specific problems, which are normally determined by the data available and the impact the researcher tries to measure. This paper summarizes the main methods in the current literature, emphasizing the assumptions under which the average treatment effect and the average treatment effect on the treated are identified. Additionally, after each section I briefly present some applications of these methods. This document is a didactic presentation aimed to advanced students and applied researchers who wish to learn the basics of these techniques.

Margaret Atwood
A few years ago, Margaret Atwood delighted the Toronto Council of Teachers of English with a story from her own school days at Leaside High. Dedicating her lunch-time presentation to her high-school English teacher, Miss Bessie Billings, Atwood explained that it was Billings who "gave me some of my first encouragement as a writer. She read one of my first poems and said: 'I can't understand this at all, dear, so it must be good!'" During the 4 1/2 decades since Miss Billings' mixed blessing, Margaret Atwood's fan base has grown exponentially.
What is it that attracts an ever-widening audience to Atwood's work? With apologies to Billings, it is the clarity and precision of Atwood's storytelling skills, not the lack thereof, that appeal to readers around the globe. As Atwood's United States editor, Nan Talese, once explained, what attracts her - and several million like her - to Atwood's writing is "her razor-sharp mind, her sense of humour, her ability to cut straight through to the truth and to reveal it in story."
Born in Ottawa on November 18, 1939, Atwood spent her formative years in Toronto. After graduating from the University of Toronto's Victoria College in 1961, she moved to Boston and attended graduate school at Harvard, where she earned her master's in 1963. Atwood's professional career began the following year as an English instructor at the University of British Columbia, an experience that cured her of any interest in a full-time teaching career.
That same year, Atwood experienced her first brush with literary fame when her second collection of poetry, The Circle Game, gained widespread critical acclaim.
Atwood's first novel, The Edible Woman, appeared in 1969 and was immediately embraced by followers and supporters of the burgeoning feminist movement. Her brilliant second novel, Surfacing, followed in 1972, and has remained a staple of Canadian literature courses ever since.
Throughout the following decade, Atwood delivered six additional volumes of poetry, three short-story collections, and three more novels: Lady Oracle, Life Before Man, and Bodily Harm. All were national bestsellers.
Then, in 1985, came The Handmaid's Tale, the dazzling, futuristic story of a negative utopia that elevated Atwood from national treasure to international sensation. Each of her subsequent books, including the novels Cat's Eye, The Robber Bride, and Alias Grace, have earned international acclaim and expanded her worldwide popularity.
She has published more than 40 books of various styles and genres, including children's literature and graphic novels.
In addition to her induction as the first novelist and poet on Canada's Walk of Fame, Atwood has the unique distinction of being the only living Canadian author for whom a very large and active academic fan club exists. Established in 1984, the Margaret Atwood Society meets each December at the Modern Language Association conference and publishes a semi-annual newsletter devoted exclusively to discussion of Atwood's works, activities, and her tireless battle against literary censorship.
Margaret Atwood remains that rarest of artists - a writer who straddles the two usually distinct worlds of critical and popular success. She can hold her own on bestsellers lists alongside the likes of Stephen King and John Grisham, while being just as comfortable among the world's literary elite, as evidenced by her various and prestigious accolades.
Unquestionably one of the finest novelists, poets and storytellers this country has produced, Atwood is typically Canadian in her modesty. When asked to explain how she resists the temptation to become a literary snob, Atwood replied: "I think we could probably rephrase the question: 'How do you maintain a sense of proportion?' or 'How do you keep values straight?' In that case, I can say that it certainly helps to be Canadian; we don't put up with people who get too high and mighty. Start flinging it about and we get out our pins! I think it's always a mistake to believe your own billboards."
Interesting Facts
Ms. Atwood's work has been published in more than thirty languages, including Farsi, Japanese, Turkish, Finnish, Korean, Icelandic and Estonian.

The column formatter method can be a very powerful solution to a very common need. The need is to customize the output for a cell in the grid such as a link for a form element. This can be easily done by specifying a "callback" function. This function will then return the string that is needed to be printed.
Example 62-1. Using the column formatter
Each callback function needs to accept at least one parameter ($params in the example above). This parameter will contain various information:
'record': An array containing the complete current record
'fieldName': The field name of the current column
'columnName': The column name of the current column
'orderBy': The 'orderBy' argument of the current column
'attribs': The attributes of the current column
'currRow': The number of the current row
'currCol': The number of the current column
An optional second parameter ($args in the example) allows you to pass additional information to the callback functions. In the example above, an array with length information is passed when the callback function printDesc() is called for the description column. Please note that this second parameter is only passed when you specify something in the column constructor. Therefore, it is a good practice to use $args = array() in the parameter list of your callback functions.

text: I've been tortured by dry eyes and scratches in my right eye. It's always been a little dry, but for the last month, its been much worse. (see other post) As a side note...I have a very big problem in my left eye involving my retina...don't wish to talk about it. I can not read at all there. I rely on my right eye completely for reading. For the past two days, now I have itchiness and some burning in the little corner of my eye near my nose! I'm so frustrated, I could scream. What in the world is THIS? Has anyone had these symptoms? I was going out of town this weekend and so I wanted the dry eye business well cared for and reading glasses (didn't want to use my contacts) and was at the eye doctor three or four times last week. I ended up with prescription antibiotic drops and also used a lot of those otc tears. This feels different. A little bit of the skin above my eye itches and the tiny corner inside of my eye itches as well. HELP!!!! Anyone else have this or something like it?

Terrence Howard is secretly divorced for a fourth time
He's currently in the middle of a divorce settlement battle with his second wife, but it turns out that Terrence Howard doesn't have a third wife -- at least not any more.
It was revealed that Mira Pak secretly filed divorce paperwork in March while she was pregnant with her and Terrance's first child, son Qirin, who was born in May.
Mira cited irreconcilable differences in the petition and claimed that couple actually separated in August 2014, right about the time Qirin was conceived.
She asked for joint custody of Qirin in the divorce filing, which was obtained by the New York Daily News.
The former couple tied the knot in October 2013 in Canada. Earlier this week, the "Empire" star's court battle with Michelle Ghent ended with closing arguments. Terrence is trying to overturn his 2012 settlement with second wife due to claims she extorted him. It was during the court hearing of this case that the public became aware of Terrence's fourth divorce (he married and divorced his first wife Lori McCommas twice.)
While questioning Terrence, a lawyer for his second wife surprisingly referred to Mira as the actor's "ex-wife," a shock considering their child was recently born and because she was by her ex-husband's side just last week.
The news broke as the actor was asked about a phone call he had with his second wife, just days after marrying his third wife.
The divorce, while not recent news to him, is just another personal issue that Terrence has to deal with, although he did that privately, as evidenced by the fact that this news just came out publicly. Still, Terrence believes his ongoing court battle has "exposed" him and that his privacy has been violated.
"Sad that this has to be on a public forum," he said, remarking that the proceedings are not a criminal trial. "It's a family law, it should be family law, it should be protected."
"To have your personal life exposed between family and shared with the public, I think is a violation of our privacy, and of our constitutional rights," he continued. "It needs to be reformed."
As it pertains to his court battle, a judge is set to rule on that on Aug. 24.

A key characteristic of a cloud solution is self-service – allowing the cloud consumer to provision their computing capabilities without the intervention of an administrator. Many IT administrators will shudder at the thought of providing the user with a full self service experience.
Frightened IT- guy meme
Abiquo helps here by providing self service to the cloud consumers, whilst allowing the cloud administrator, or infrastructure owner to remain in complete control. Abiquo's controlled self service is delivered through several different features:
1. The Cloud administrator controls which logical pools of private resource (Abiquo data centers), or public cloud regions any tenant (Abiquo enterprise) can use
2. The cloud administrator sets resource limits to control how much resource a tenant can use in any one datacenter. Read how to do this here.
3. The cloud administrator defines allocation rules, so that when a consumer deploys through self service the administrator has control over where the workload is provisioned and how the infrastructure is utilised.
4. Finally how the consumers self service capabilities are controlled by over 56 separate privileges (that can be grouped into roles), that define what information can be viewed in the Abiquo UI, and what tasks the user can perform. By configuring roles the cloud administrator can delegate as much (or as little) self-service as required.

By the way, I think the Naruto boards will get the news out faster just in case people missed this.
I just pre-ordered and I really have no idea what I'm about to expect.. sadly, I can't find any other information either.. I just logged in one day and looked at my emails and saw this. Graphics are to be expected imo and it seems like it's taking a page out of Jump Superstars.. but it looks like a lot of fun and it's available for PS2 and Gamecube. 4 players too!

If Vegeta isnt in it I wont even bother to look at it. It would be REALLY cool if you can like transform into a Sayian monster and destroy Konoho.
I really think they could of came up with something better than this. Like maybe
Smash Bros vs Capcom vs D.O.N vs SNK vs Marvel vs DC vs Chuck Norris. Just use your imagination.
Mario, Akuma, Goku, Geese, Wolverine, Superman vs Chuck Norris. Best match ever.

They should just put Phibrizo in, and each time you tap a button another character onscreen dies.
...and now that I've managed to synthesize Slayers fanboyism and commercial cynicism, I will move on to the Elixer of Life.

is this game for real!? Im not too sure about this, come on how can luffy or anyone from naruto compete with perfect cell. I think Cell could kill all the characters from both naruto and one piece without breaking a sweat. I like naruto but this is a bad idea.

I don't get people whining about "waaah waaah, Naruto shouldn't be able to defeat Goku". In JSS, Sakata Tsunayoshi could potentially beat Goku. Take that as you will.
For those that don't know, Tsuna is the main character of Katekyo: Hitman Reborn!

The summer convention season is rolling at me like a steam train, and my plans for it are starting to fall into place. Here's where you can expect to see me:
Gary Con (March 7): This is the first annual convention in memory of Gary Gygax, and I'll be there in the afternoon with my son Marty. This will be his first convention since Ann used to bring him to Gen Con in a stroller, and I plan to spend the time playing games with him.
Odyssey Con (April 24–26): I plan to be here on the 25th at least, although my schedule isn't quite nailed down yet. The show has posted a preliminary list of panels, but times and dates for them are still to be determined.
Comic-Con (July 23–26): For the first time in a few years, I plan to attend the whole show, and with luck I'll be on a panel or three.
Gen Con (August 13–16): I'll be a guest at this show once again. Expect to find me in panels, signing books, playing games, and having fun.

text: Submitted by Roberta B on Fri, 04/07/2017 - 3:27pm Easter Egg Hunts for Kids around Los Angeles and Orange County 2016Some of us have lovely gardens and the inclination to creatively hide eggs in them early on a Sunday morning. Others have an inclination to sleep late and find eggs hidden in someone else's garden. We find no shame in that and are more than happy to help guide you to lots of places where Peter Cottontail has evidently just been moments before. Most of the egg hunts below take place Easter weekend; keep an eye on our Event Calendar for last minute additions, and check out these 10 egg hunts in Orange County for even more egg ops!

(Another BYOB event) Family Easter Egg Hunt - Rustic Canyon April 15, 2017 Some people have a hard time finding Rustic Canyon, but not the Easter Bunny. The eggs are hidden in a secluded canyon between Santa Monica and the Palisades. Books and Cookies Egg Hunt - Santa Monica April 15, 2017 The kids' book shop has an annual tradition of hiding eggs among the books. Advance registration is recommended. Easter Treats 'n' Eats - Culver City April 15, 2017 Renew Church hosts this family event in Blanco Park.

Bugs Bunny Easter Egg Hunt - Santa Monica April 16, 2017 The Aero hosts its annual Easter Sunday Bugs Bunny Fest, with Easter candy for all the kids. The Valleys Easter on the Farm - Moorpark April 1-17, 2017 This isn't Easter on any old farm; it's Underwood Farms.

BYOB (that's Basket!) Easter in Covina - Covina April 16, 2017 In the San Gabriel Valley, the eggs are so plentiful they glow in the dark. Join the crowds that hunt them to the tunes of a DJ, between free pony rides and rock climbing.

Easter Eggstravaganza - Irvine Daily through April 15, 2017 There's so much to do at Irvine Park Railroad's annual Easter celebration that you really would need to go daily to do it all (no doubt why the Easter Bunny spends so much time there). Of course, if you were to do it all, you could then start on the OC Zoo, the pony rides, the paddle boats - there's just a lot to do!

text: I'm sure many of you have been through this and have some good advice for me. Lately I have been overwhelmed with guilt for what I did or didn't do as a mother which made Kat end up where she is right now. It's not like I was a drug addict or running around with men all the time during her childhood. It's just the basic I should have been harder on her, I shouldn't have ignored some problem behaviors, I should have been more strict... I could go on and on with the "should haves." I know this is in no way productive, as I can't go back into the past and change things, but I'm really stuck in this way of thinking right now. Any ideas about how to let this go and focus on the present and the future?

I had questioned, in a previous blog, as to whether Mat Latos would become the number two pitcher the Cincinnati Reds had traded to get. My conclusion was that he is a slow starter and will be the pitcher the Reds need. Well, Tuesday night the season began for Mat Latos.
Latos pitched a gem of a game against an old Western Division foe, the San Francisco Giants. He scattered 4 hits (all singles), allowed 2 base-on-balls, struck out 3, allowed no runs in 7 innings of work to pick up his first win as a Cincinnati Red.
This was the type of pitching that Mat Latos is capable of. He moved the ball in and out, kept the ball down and got ahead in the count. If he can continue at this level, the Cincinnati Reds will be a force to reckon with in the Central Division.
At the plate, the Reds sort of bookended (sic) their hitting. Brandon Phillips opened the game with a 2-run blast to put the Reds up 2-0. It would remain that way until the 6th inning when the Reds batted around and broke open a tight game. Phillips led the way, as all starting, everyday players got at least one hit (except for Joey Votto), with 3 RBI. He sat out the last 2 innings to rest his hamstring.
Mat Latos improved his record for the season to 1 and 2. His ERA dropped to 5.64. He admitted that he had been pressing in previous starts. He certainly didn't press on Tuesday night.
Jose Arredondo pitched a perfect 8th, striking out 2. Sam LeCure came in the 9th and made things interesting. LeCure threw a pitch behind Buster Posey in retaliation for Votto being hit with a pitch earlier in the game. This prompted a warning to both benches. Posey, subsequently sent one over the fence to breakup the shut out. It will be interesting to see if anything more happens on Wedneday, as the two teams will square off again at GABP.

I like the approach Marc Wright from Simply Communicate and Vice Chair of the IABC Europe and Middle East Region takes to discussing authenticity and corporate leadership. First he provides three sets of CEOs that he compares and contrasts (although it's not always clear to me why those particular people are paired). And then he extracts a list of 10 pointers to help achieve a more authentic voice for the CEO.

Spanish Fork, Utah is a fascinating area for nearby ristorantes that serve up savory, fresh and healthy recipes. The chow is yummy and inspiring. Go to a Italian or French restaurant and flavors will take your tongue for an adventure like no where else in the Mountain States.
This is a small town and admittedly, these aromatic cafes likely won't win many epicurean accolades. And they won't get splashy profiles in baller cooking magazines either. We don't care if a shameless famous person like Justin Bieber ever takes those selfies around our tables.
Ok whatever. This town only had beloved fast food options for too long. But the restaurant scene has evolved over the last decade or so! We got human beings covered whether they want relishing meats or something slightly healthier based with barley or cherries.
The self-assured culinary wizards have the skills to pay the bills. Why not support the local food scene and the most promising young chefs from the Four Corners?
We may be wrong or we may be right about these eateries. But it feels ever so good to be lost in nourishment Arcadia. Chow down!

If you've ever felt anxious about running out of things to say on your first date, or having a bunch of awkward silences, you're not alone.
At one point or another we've all worried about running out of conversation, or not having anything to talk about.
I've always found this amazing, because most people in the dating pool have upwards of twenty years life experience. How can someone with twenty years of interesting experiences and stories run out of things to talk about in less than a few hours?
The short answer is – you don't.
Think about how things are when you're around a really good friend: conversation flows naturally, you bounce back and forth between a bunch of different topics, and no one ever talks about one thing for very long. When you're with someone new, the social pressure of the situation can cause you to become self-conscious and start worrying about how things are going.
This pressure prevents you from being present in the moment and behaving normally, but there's a way around it.
The secret to having smooth conversation even when you're feeling uncomfortable is learning how to use conversation branching to your advantage.
When people are having a good time, they naturally branch topics, and if you become aware of how conversation branching works you can do it well in any situation.
Everything a person says is loaded with branches that provide you with the opportunity to take the conversation in a new direction.
Say for example you ask a girl what she did last night, and she says "Not much. Went out with some friends then relaxed at home for a bit and watched some TV."
Within her response, there are at least three obvious branches: watching TV, going out with friends, and not doing much.
The key to transitioning from boring fluff conversation like this into fun, more natural conversation is humour and teasing.
Here are three possible replies to what she said that incorporate teasing, open up additional branches, and generally move the vibe away from boring conversation and towards either fun, flirty conversation or relating and rapport building.
"Oh no… you're not one of those Jersey Shore reality TV addicts are you?"
"Where'd you guys go?" ( wait for her response, then tell a funny or cool story about going out with your friends that relates to her answer )
"Long week? You don't really seem like the stay at home type."
All of these responses avoid the interview style trap so many guys fall into, and her answers will allow you to branch out again or continue with fun banter a bit until you find another topic you want to talk about. When you're good at transitioning naturally from topic to topic you don't need to worry about what you should say or what topics to bring up; things will seem a lot more natural and you'll have a lot more success.

Am I really that bad?
Most Helpful Girl
Most Helpful Guy
No women on there are just really picky. They criticize men for being picky but when given the chance will be far worse.
I would suggest you use photos that show you happier. You look a little melancholy in your pics. You want to convey that your happy and have a good life. Women run on emotion. Step back and ask yourself what emotion each photo conveys before you include it. The emotion I'm getting off your profile is one of meh... life is ok... I guess.10|10|0
That's a good point of view!
