Cosmetic Services
Unfortunately, as we age our skin and the fat pads in our face begin to descend. Jowls are the result of our cheeks descending below our jawline. In the past, the only way to correct this was with facelift surgery, by pulling the cheeks back up their original position. For some, surgery may be the best option, but for those who do not wish to undergo surgery, or can not afford the downtime associated with surgery, there are a number of alternatives.
Dermal fillers can be used to lift the cheeks up and back and replace the supportive fat pads that keep our face looking young and fresh. Fillers can also be used to disguise the jowl and straighten the jawline, giving a more youthful appearance. Finally, dermal filler can also be injected around the mouth to lift the mouth corners back to a more neutral position, rather than down turned.
As we age, the muscles around the mouth can pull the corners of the mouth downwards, anti-wrinkle injections can be used to relax the muscle that pulls the mouth corners, thus lifting them back to the neutral or up-turned position.
Specialised threads can be inserted under the skin to lift the jowls up and give the skin a tightened appearance. Although not as effective as a facelift, significant improvement to jowls can be achieved with little risk of complications and minimal downtime.

mett met him, and he already seemed to know that he was going tobe dead when he was twenty-one.
Emmett handed the money oYer to Fred and told him what kind of a deal was going down with the film group. Then they got to talking about how you could really smell the way the money is made in Chicago, from the pungent odor from the back-of-the-yards district where the animals are slaughtered for their meat. The scent is always hovering over the entire city, keeping the people in line and walking the straight and narrow for the wages they earn, but are made to believe they're being given.
Suddenly there was some hollering and a noise that made both men look up just in time to see the door fling open and a giant, bigbosomed, black woman come crashing inside the tiny office. She stopped in front of the desk and without even giving Emmett a glance asked, "Is you Fred Hampton?
"Yes, ma'am . . ."
"Is you chairman o' these here Black ~anthers~
"Yes, I . . ."
"Is you for the people, all the black people?

Simply on hearing the word steroid, we end up relating it to the bodybuilders and athletes.Though steroids are normally used to treat medical conditions, you can also use them to boost your stamina and attain proper muscle strength. Every bodybuilder counts on steroids to get their dream body. But for effective results, you should take the steroid in the right dose. When taken in the right dose it helps you ease fatigue, reduce excess body fat,improve your speed andenhance the body mass.
Types of Steroids
Steroids have different definitions for different people. For some, it is a medication prescribed by their physician while for others it helps in enhancing their strength and performance. Basically, steroids are of two types:
- Corticosteroids–It is the steroid which your doctor prescribes to treat conditions like asthma, skin infections, rheumatoid arthritis, allergies etc. Its effect is similar to the hormones produced naturally by the adrenal gland. Corticosteroids are known to treat inflammatory diseases. It comes in both oral and injectable form.
- Anabolic Steroids –It is the steroids for muscle growth which is normally associated with bodybuilders and athletes. This steroid is the derivative of testosterone, which on binding with testosterone receptors in your body, brings about muscle growth, strength and boosts the stamina. Even anabolic steroids are known to have certain medical usages like improving the level of testosterone in men when it drops and to help people to improve their health conditions if they are suffering from severe problems like cancer or AIDS. It is available in a variety of options like oral, injectable, creams, gels, pellets and even patches.
When Muscle Building is your Focus -note
Real steroids are recognized as the best muscle building agent. Studies say, most anabolic steroids have the capacity to add lean muscle to your body structure. Every year new companies come up with a range of steroids which actually are of no help. While selecting any steroid for bodybuilding you should keep in mind that human grade steroids are more effective and safe than the ones used for the cattle. Always avoid the steroids sold by the underground labs as they are normally of very poor quality and will never be able to meet your expectations. Steroids in the form of testosterone are considered best for building muscles. They have amazing benefits and apart from improving your overall size, they help you build lean muscles. The best part is since this hormone is produced naturally within our body, it is easily accepted in the system.
Always Consider the Safety Factor
If you are using steroids for muscle growth, you should be aware that legally, without a doctor's prescription you are not allowed either to distribute or acquire anabolic steroids for any non-medical use. But, if you decide to use them, then you should follow a minimum dosage and stop usingit if you notice any kind of side effect. Some people believe in myths like higher dose can give you better results. But actually this is not true, the receptors in your muscles become saturated after a point of time and over dose will only cause harm.

This article contains all information confirmed to News 19 in the manhunt for inmate Casey Cole White and now former corrections employee Vicky White after leaving the Lauderdale County Detention Center on April 29, 2022.
LAUDERDALE COUNTY, Ala. (WHNT) — The nationwide manhunt for an escaped Lauderdale County inmate and the corrections employee who helped him came to a crashing end on Monday, May 9 in Evansville, Indiana.
Law enforcement officials were looking for inmate 38-year-old Casey White and former Assistant Director of Corrections, 56-year-old Vicky White who were reported missing on April 29 after leaving the Lauderdale County Detention Center. Vicky was an employee with the Sheriff's Office for 16 years. Despite sharing a last name, the two are not related.
They were on the run for a total of 11 days and crossed at least three state lines. Here is everything News 19 knows so far:
Lauderdale County Sheriff Rick Singleton told News 19 that the night before Vicky helped the inmate escape – using a false claim that he had a mental health appointment at the courthouse – she stayed in a hotel near Florence Boulevard.
EDITOR'S NOTE: The Lauderdale County Sheriff's Office says the surveillance video above is 1 hour, 10 minutes behind – the video is actually from just after 6:30 a.m. on April 29 – the day of the escape.
It also appears that the hotel's location was part of a larger plan. Investigators said Vicky White's sheriff's office car was found parked in Florence strip mall a few hours after the pair had left the jail.
Investigators learned the getaway car that she purchased a few days earlier – a copper-toned 2007 Ford Edge – was in the same lot the night before the escape. The hotel she stayed in was within walking distance of that lot at the Florence Square shopping mall, located at 180 Cox Creek Parkway.
Singleton says she drove her official car to work last Friday morning, picked up Casey White, and then switched vehicles.
Vicky White, according to Singleton, had been talking about her retirement for the past three to four months, had talked about visiting the beach and had recently sold her home. Court documents show that White sold her home in Lauderdale County on April 18, 2022, for $95,550.
News 19 asked Singleton why he thought Vicky White stayed at the hotel, rather than with her mother, where she'd been living since selling her own home.
"This is just basically, strictly, my own opinion," Singleton said. "I think she didn't want to face her mother that morning, knowing that she was going to leave."
There has been public speculation that Casey confessed to the Ridgeway killing to get moved out of the prison system and into the Lauderdale County Jail.
Casey White was transferred from Donaldson Correctional Facility in February 2022. His trial for two counts of capital murder was scheduled to start in June 2022.
Lauderdale County District Attorney Chris Connolly said Casey's alleged confession to the killing spurred investigators to look at him as a suspect, and they didn't stop there – they vetted his information and then charged him.
She had also turned in her retirement paperwork and April 29 was scheduled to be her last day on the job. Connolly told News 19 that Vicky White went to several banks and withdrew $90,000 in cash from the sale of her house.
The Escape
On April 29 at 9:20 a.m., Vicky White told a corrections deputy to prepare inmate Casey White to be taken to the Lauderdale County Courthouse for a "mental health evaluation". He was taken from his cell to booking where he was handcuffed and shackles placed on his legs.
At 9:41 a.m. Vicky White leaves the jail with Casey White after telling the booking officer she is the only one available with firearm certification. She explained to the officer that she was going to drop Casey White off at the courthouse before heading to the Med Plus clinic because she wasn't feeling well.
Vicky and Casey drove from the jail to the shopping center where the getaway car was parked and drove away in an unknown direction. The car was spotted in security footage at 9:49 a.m. at a local gas station at the intersection of Cox Creek and Huntsville Road as it passed.
At 11:34 a.m. a Florence Police officer saw the patrol vehicle left among other cars in a parking lot of a local shopping center.
At 3:30 p.m. the booking officer reports that all calls to Vicky White were going straight to voicemail and neither she nor Casey White had returned from the courthouse. The courthouse was searched and security footage showed they had never arrived for the nonexistent mental health evaluation.
Casey White's Criminal Past
Casey White has a history of violence, including a standoff with the Limestone County Sheriff's Office in 2015 – at that time, Casey was wanted in two states.
Former Limestone County Sheriff Mike Blakely said in December 2015, White broke into his ex-girlfriend's home, shot at two of her friends, and killed her dog. White then went on the hunt for a vehicle, attempting two carjacking before successfully taking a third.
Blakely said Casey asked the sheriff to intervene during a standoff at which Casey pointed guns to each side of his head, and threatened to kill himself.
Casey White would eventually confess to the 2015 murder of Connie Ridgeway, and he was charged with her murder in 2020. He later pleaded not guilty by reason of mental disease, and prosecutors said he was paid to kill Ridgeway.
A trial date was set for April 2022, leading to his return to the Lauderdale County Jail. However, his trial was continued in June.
A Re-Investigation
The Limestone County Sheriff's Office officially reopened the investigation into the mysterious death of Casey White's ex-girlfriend in 2008 as the manhunt was in full swing.
The investigation involves the death of 31-year-old Christy Shelton, who was shot to death with a sawed-off shotgun. Officials initially ruled her death a suicide.
At the time of Shelton's death, police said White was there at her home in Lexington. But after an investigation, he was ruled out as a suspect.
Shelton's family said they never believed that story. They asked questions about what exactly Casey was doing when Shelton was shot. Casey and Shelton were dating at the time and her family has taken to social media to push for a re-investigation into this case.
Somer Mitchell, the daughter of Christy Shelton, says when Casey White escaped with the assistance of prison guard Vicky White, it opened a range of uncontrollable emotions for her and her family who are seeking justice for her mother.
A spokesperson for the Limestone County Sheriff's Office says that they are communicating with the family and reviewing the case.
"Special Relationship"
The Lauderdale County Sheriff's Office spoke with inmates at the jail about Casey White and Vicky White. Several inmates said the two had a "special relationship".
While Casey White was in Donaldson Prison, Vicky White kept in contact with him over the phone. The sheriff's office said the two had been in contact for two years and there is the potential that they were planning his escape throughout that time.
Singleton explained. "Knowing they've had this relationship ongoing since 2020… her knowing eventually he'd be coming back here they could have been planning this for the past two years. And they could have been planning this when he got here in February, but there was some planning that went into this."
Tattoos & Hairdos
Almost a full week into the search, the U.S. Marshals Service released new photos and descriptions of both Casey White and Vicky White on Thursday, May 5, showing tattoos and possible hair changes to disguise themselves.
Casey stands at 6'9, weighs around 330 pounds, and has brown hair and hazel eyes. Officials say they believe he is affiliated with the Alabama-based white supremacist prison gang, Southern Brotherhood.
Vicky White was described as 5'5 and 145 pounds with blonde hair, though officials at the time advised she may have dyed it a darker color.
The Manhunt
At 4:53 p.m. on April 29, the Lauderdale County Sheriff's Office posted on Facebook that the two were missing and hadn't been seen since that morning. By 5:30 p.m., 18-20 investigators were working on the case, and the U.S Marshals, FBI, ATF, Secret Service and Alabama Law Enforcement Agency were asked to help.
At 7:27 p.m. the official Blue Alert was issued for Casey and Vicky White.
On Friday, April 29, federal arrest warrants were filed for both Whites, the Sheriff's Office told the public the warrants were issued on Monday, May 2. Vicky White was wanted for first-degree facilitating an escape and Casey White's new arrest warrant was for second-degree escape. On Monday, May 9, new charges were added to the warrant for Vicky White's arrest. The new charges included identity theft and forgery after she used an alias to purchase the 2007 Ford Edge the two used to escape.
According to a release from the U.S. Marshals, the two had possibly been sighted on April 29 in Rogersville, Alabama.
The getaway vehicle was found on Friday, April 29, abandoned in a rural area of Williamson County, Tenn., off Interstate-65, in the middle of the state. Officials said a tow truck driver called the Williamson County Sheriff's Office Thursday, May 5 after seeing the SUV on the 6 p.m. news.
Officials said the tow truck driver received a call at 1:50 p.m. on April 29 and towed the car to an impound lot at about 2:30 p.m. that same day.
The SUV was found about 107 miles away from the Lauderdale County Detention Center, about two hours driving distance. The vehicle was brought to Lauderdale County Sheriff's Office on Monday, May 9, for evidence processing.
On Monday, May 9 the U.S. Marshals released photos of a 2006 Ford F-150 truck that had been abandoned at a car wash in Evansville, Indiana on May 3. The South Weinbach Avenue car wash owner said he saw a man who appeared to be Casey White get picked up by another car with a driver that looked like Vicky White.
Evansville is 175 miles north of Williamson County, Tenn., where the copper 2007 Ford Edge was discovered.
In Custody
On Monday, May 9, a Cadillac vehicle that Casey White and Vicky White were suspected of driving was spotted near the Vanderburgh Sheriff's Office and law enforcement officials pursued. A chase ensued on Highway 41 northbound and involved the U.S. Marshals, FBI and Vanderburgh Deputies.
Vanderburgh County Sheriff Dave Wedding said it was a short pursuit that passed Highway 57 and into a grassy area.
Law enforcement officials ended the chase by colliding with the Whites' car and causing it to overturn. Wedding said after the crash Vicky White shot herself and was taken to a local hospital in serious condition.
Wedding explained Casey White turned himself in and was taken to the hospital with minor injuries.
"They've both been taken to local hospitals to be examined for their injuries," Wedding said. "Her injuries are very serious. I don't know the true extent, but I want to commend the Marshals Task Force for being here and working diligently with the Vanderburgh County Sheriff's Office to put two bad people and get them off the street."
In a press conference held on Tuesday, Wedding stated that Casey White told investigators that he had planned on having a "shootout" with police when caught. The sheriff says the decision to crash the vehicle was one that possibly saved several of his deputies' lives.
Police recovered four handguns and an AR-15 from the Cadillac after the arrest. The pair also had $29,000 in cash on hand.
An Evansville Police Officer first noticed the Cadillac the suspects were using in the parking lot of the old Motel 6 along Highway 41. Police say the two paid for a 14-night stay at the motel while they planned their next move.
Vanderburgh County Coroner Steven W. Lockyear said Vicky White died at 7 p.m. at Evansville Deaconess Midtown Hospital on Monday night. Her autopsy determined her cause of death to be suicide as a result of a single self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.
Casey White was brought back to Lauderdale County on Tuesday night for arraignment. At that time, the judge added first-degree escape to his charges – though the date for his capital murder charge will likely remain the same. The judge said authorities will look for alternate places to house Casey White.
U.S. Marshals announced a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of Casey White on May 1, and later a $5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of Vicky White.
Alabama Governor Kay Ivey offered an additional $5,000 reward for Casey White and an additional $5,000 for Vicky White. That brought the reward total to $15,000 for Casey White and $10,000 for Vicky White, for both $25,000.
There is no word at this time if the reward money will be issued to anyone.

The Wave Rug – Left Side
The Wave rug is the result of a design collaboration between our Studio and visionary New York illustrator Jade Purple Brown. Two highly creative designers with a great passion for colour came together in a transatlantic collaboration.
Product description
The Wave rug is the result of a design collaboration between our Studio and visionary New York illustrator Jade Purple Brown.
Two highly creative designers with a great passion for colour came together in a transatlantic collaboration. Coming at designing a rug from two different angles with a similar vision was an amazingly creative journey. It meant combining Jade's experience in bold illustrations with Sonya's colour and rug making expertise to create something great, original and impactful.
Details and design
The Wave is an exciting piece of floor art that bridges two uniquely creative minds across the Atlantic.
When collaboratively designing the rug, Sonya and Jade's aim was to create a piece that would completely transform any space, bringing a sense of excitement and joy through the radical use of colour and fluid curves, inspired by the 1970s graphic style.
The design is just as effectively displayed as a floor rug or a wall hanging.
Composition and care
The Wave rug is hand tufted in pure New Zealand wool by artisan weavers in traditional weaving communities. The design uses 43 colours, obtained from Swiss dye pigments, which are extremely high quality and completely free from Azo-based compounds, so are kind to the human skin.
This is a hardwearing and easily washable rug, very pet-friendly.

The Carriage House @ Wainwright House
Sound Bath On The Sound - Thursdays in October @ 6:30 PM
New Chakra Sound Bath Meditation Thursday Series starting on Sept 8th to help you de-stress and bring you body and mind back into Balance.
Time & Location
Oct 06, 2022, 6:30 PM – 8:00 PM
The Carriage House @ Wainwright House, 260 Stuyvesant Ave, Rye, NY 10580, USA
About the Event
Special Thursday Evening Relaxing and Rejuvenating Sound Bath Meditations With Sound Therapist Gary Posner
Friends, I would like to invite you to our new Sound Bath Meditation Series on Thursdays @ 6:30 PM in September
Evening Sound Bath Meditations are particularly helpful in reducing stress.
Sound Bath Meditations are a combination of restorative yoga, meditation and a sacred sound concert. They have been shown to reduce stress, enable deep relaxation, enhance creativity, uplift the spirit and help with insomnia. Sound Meditations slow down your brainwaves and guide you into a deep meditative state or altered state of consciousness. Participants lay down comfortably and then are "immersed" in the sounds, vibrations and harmonics of the instruments. Gongs, Himalayan bowls, crystal singing bowls, tuning forks and shamanic percussion instruments are played in a clinically tested, therapeutic sequence to maximize benefits. No previous knowledge experience or yoga movement is required.. Sound is a very accessible form of meditation where benefits are usually experienced right after the first session. Simply lay down and bathe in the ocean of sound.
You will need: An exercise or yoga mat and water. Here is a link to an extra thick Mat .
Optional: You will be laying down for 60 mins, so having a blanket, pillow and eye pillow will add additional comfort to your experience.

Curating Teen Voices: Coming of Age
A portfolio project led by Mariana Parisca, Story Stitchers Artist in Residence
March 2-25, 2017
Spoken Word March 25 4 PM
7513 Forsyth Blvd., Clayton MO 63105
Curating Teen Voices: Coming of Age is a time capsule of teenage voices combined with adult artists living in St. Louis in 2015, all reacting to a critical and unique time in the history of race relations, gun violence, police roles and community relationships in the city of St. Louis, Missouri. Financial assistance for this project has been provided by the Missouri Arts Council, a state agency. This project is supported in part by an award from the National Endowment for the Arts.
Don't Shoot, Listen
By Rachael
Grade 10
c Saint Louis Story Stitchers, 2015
How do I feel safe
when cars are more regulated
than guns,
When mental illness is a stigma
Instead of a treatable disease,
and when checking a background
before handing out a lethal weapon
Suddenly became an invasion of privacy?
Understand, I don't want to take your gun away
really; I don't want your gun.
I just want my blood to run coursing through my veins,
not onto the pavement.
I want my children to go to school
to learn how to create,
Not how to destroy.
And I want to stop feeling
like all the stripes on the American flag
should be red.
So please- don't shoot- just listen.

Located about 30 miles east of Panama City Beach, Florida lies the quiet, sleepy little town of Mexico Beach. My friends Christy Jordan (Southern Plate), Brandie Skibinski (The Country Cook), and I had the pleasure of being invited to visit the quaint beach town a little while back.
With less than 1,500 permanent residents, this little jewel of a town is devoid of high-rise condos – it's actually a city building code that prevents them. You won't find over-the-top touristy gift shops hawking overpriced shells and airbrush t-shirts either. This is the 50s beach town that time forgot… in a very good way. Heck, there's not even a single traffic light.
It's a welcoming little spot. Eager faces greeted us at each stop. Community-based activities like weekly concerts top the agendas of most residents. A decent number of locally-owned restaurants offer up everything from incredibly fresh gulf seafood to to American to pizza.
We made stops at Killer Seafood for their fish tacos, the enormous seafood platter at Toucan's, and an amazing breakfast at Sharon's Cafe.
We were even treated to a delicious sunset shrimp boil right on the beach.
One afternoon found us taking advantage of an amazing boat cruise with Kevin at KC Sportfishing. It was definitely a highlight. Kevin offers a variety of fishing trips, snorkling trips, sunset cruises, margarita cruises, and more!
Here's the long and short of it… Mexico Beach is an AMAZING, quiet, family-friendly destination with unspoiled beautiful white sand beaches. It's uncrowded, charming, and laid way back.
It's the ultimate beach vacation if you're looking for a relaxing peaceful trip away from the hustle and bustle of popular nearly destinations.
While we were there, we stayed in a beautiful 3-bedroom ,3-bath condo called Sharktooth Views at Tranquil Harbor. Managed by the folks at Gulf Coast Vacation Rentals, the unit was clean, comfortable, well stocked, and only a short walk to the beach. We even got in the kitchen some. Leave it to food bloggers to work while they're on vacation, right?
Well, we shared a few Facebook Live videos while we were there and several folks asked us to create a dish made with the few ingredients we had on hand in the condo. The result was this really delicious Salsa Chicken Dip.
While not exactly the most delicious-looking dish, the flavor is great and it was so simple to put together. This is the perfect thing to throw together when unexpected guests drop by.
Recipe Card
Salsa Chicken Dip
- 1 (8-ounce) block cream cheese, softened
- 1 (5-ounce) can white meat chicken, drained
- 1 cup salsa
- Stir ingredients together vigorously until well blended. Serve with tortilla chips.
Please note:
If nutritional values are provided, they are an estimate and will vary depending on the brands used. If calorie count and other nutritional values are important to you, I recommend grabbing your favorite brands and plugging those ingredients into an online nutritional calculator.
Our friends at Mexico Beach CDC helped to make this trip and blog post possible, but the thoughts and opinions here are honest and completely mine.

"for meaning beyond this world"
Poetry teaches us how to listen, and poetry helps us know things, like urgency, tenderness and the value of each story.

Poetry teaches us how to listen, and poetry helps us know things, like urgency, tenderness and the value of each story.
SWEET INSURGENT by ELYSE FENTON / Even as we are shown how volatile and precarious life can be, Fenton delivers lines that are tender both in what they reveal and in how they convey vulnerability: "I never planned to love like this."
THE GALAXY IS A DANCE FLOOR by BIANCA LYNNE SPRIGGS / Sketches — moth, narwhal, astronaut, etc. — appear in a series of "reverie" poems and contribute to the dreamlike, disorienting quality of those poems, which are numbered but presented out of order.
THE WYNONA STONE POEMS by CAKI WILKINSON / I wasn't sure how I'd do reading an entire book of poems in the third person about a fictional character and her family and community, but Wilkinson really makes it work. Wynona is just as real as any narrator/speaker.
In high school, this kind of angst made me a normal teenager. Now, however, with arthritis in my knuckles, reading glasses on my nose and crepe-paper skin around my knees, this kind of angst just makes me stuck.
MYSTERIES IN A WORLD THAT THINKS THERE ARE NONE by GARY MCDOWELL / For some reason, even though they aren't unicorns and rainbows by any stretch, the poems themselves create a lightness, a way of levitating.
The review is a sketch. It delighted me, as I was already curious about inventive ways to respond to the books we read. I had written a nontraditional review to an essay collection a couple years back, but I had no idea what else was out there. With this blog post, I attempt to correct that.

Ninetyoneninetytwo crafts marine-inspired objects to explore sustainability and 3D printing
Undersea creatures influenced the diversely textured forms of design studio Ninetyoneninetytwo's object series, highlighted as part of our Dezeen x The Mindcraft Project 2021 collaboration.
Ninetyoneninetytwo created the Ctenophora Vase, Echinoidea Bowl and Morning Dip Side Table – all made of recycled plastics – for The Mindcraft Project exhibition of experimental design from Denmark.
The studio specialises in 3D printing, and this series is meant to explore how sustainable that process can be while challenging people's understanding of what a 3D-printed object looks like.
There is a diversity of textures on display — smooth, almost cartilage-like ribs on the vase; a translucent, softly rippled surface on the side table; and the tangled, wiry nest of the bowl.
The technique used on the bowl is a new one for Ninetyoneninetytwo designers Zeyu Rong and Weibo Sun, who invented it through playing with program parameters.
"This textural structure is so organic and messy," said Rong. "It becomes something totally different and does not have the normal look of 3D-printed objects."
The studio advocates 3D printing as a sustainable production process that by its nature produces little to no material waste. As well as using recycled PET/PETG (polyethylene terephthalate glycol-modified) plastic, they focus on reducing energy consumption and staying local.

text: Dresden Mobile by Alexander Symes Architect Various Locations Dresden Optics is a new eyewear company tipped to revolutionise the market with its interchangeable frame/lens range of products. Moreover, the company is making headlines in green communities thanks to its devotion to closed loop recycling - all Dresden glasses frames can be recycled post consumption and born again as new eyewear for someone else. Recently, the Dresden brand went mobile and when the team decided to take its retail store to the road they asked Sydney architect Alexander Symes to design it for them. As the name suggests, Dresden Mobile is a mobile shopfront for Dresden Optics and part of a larger branding awareness campaign for the company. As mentioned, that brand is deeply embedded in the idea of closed loop recycling but it is also concerned with demystifying the complexity of glasses manufacturing by bringing the process out in the open and making their products more affordable, fun, versatile and dependable. Symes was given the brief to visually communicate this story through the material palette in Dresden Mobile and turned to recycled materials (obviously) and a transparent, open planned fitout to do so. One hundred per cent recycled timber was used internally, recycled content forms the skin of the modular retail shop and a versatile recyclable rigid paperboard called 'Re-board' was used for the fit-out. Specifically, the project adopts the following: Tallowwood timber decking trims with floorboards from a 1940's school gym Spotted Gum deck edge timber treated in the Shau Sugi Ban method to minimise maintenance without sealing or painting Re-board for the shop fitout Plywood sourced from mixed sourced of recycled packaging cover plates 100% recyclable Danpalon external cladding Recycled content steel components in chassis Recycled copper light fittings But the shop also had to be practical and, in particular, equipped to accommodate the load of equipment, merchandise and customers. The challenge here was that because the shop is technically a vehicle Symes was restricted to the weight parameters of the caravan code. This meant that he had to compromise on his dreams of making an all timber construct (frames and cladding) and instead had to substitute a timber frame for a recycled steel one. The use of Re-board also helped Symes stay under the weight threshold and because of its composition, can be recycled as paper in normal waste paper streams. In retail mode, the walls of Dresden Mobile lift to become awnings for shade protection and decks fold out to increase the floor space of the store. By nature of its transportable composition, the store can also be orientated to manage solar gains or encourage prevailing breezes, while zip-down sailcloth on its sides can be used as shade or wind buffers without needing to halt retail operations. With Dresden Mobile, Dresden Optics has a highly flexible commercial asset. The transportable shopfront allows the company to conclude which urban areas are most feasible to establish a permanent store and also reach people in places which establishing permanence wouldn't be feasible. It is also a highly assertive branding awareness tool, allowing the company to position its products and ethos in new and untapped markets. Heavily involved in the effectiveness of that tool was Alexander Symes who was challenged to create a transportable shopfront that emulated the brand's philosophy. Symes and his team have demonstrated the ability of architecture to reify an intangible concept like brand ideaology and philosophy in materials and design.

Adult Charges Considered for 14-year-old Accused in Racine Armed Robbery
14-year-old accused of pistol whipping a man during an armed robbery could be charged as an adult for the crime, Racine Police said Wednesday.
Two other teenagers have also been arrested. A fourth is also wanted for questioning, according to a press release.
The youngest suspect is listed at 13-years-old. A 15-year-old is also being held. Both could be charged with "party to a crime armed robbery".
Racine police have not yet said if they've recovered the weapon used in the case.
The armed robbery happened on the 1200 block of Geneva Street sometime before 9 pm on Monday, according to a press release.
Two men - both in their 20s and siting in a parked vehicle - were approached by four teenagers, according to a press release.
The 14-year-old who had the handgun pointed it at the victims and demanded a bag, police said.
When he didn't get it he hit one of the men with the butt of his gun. He then took the bag and ran off with the group, according to a press release.
Police arrested three of the teens not far from the crime scene. Prosecutors could pursue adult charges, Racine Police said on Monday.
If authorities have recovered a weapon - they also have not shared information on who that gun was registered to.

President Donald Trump erupted Thursday in a tirade of unsubstantiated claims that he has been cheated out of winning the US election as vote counting across battleground states showed Democrat Joe Biden steadily closing in on victory.
"They are trying to steal the election," an increasingly isolated Trump said in an extraordinary statement at the White House two days after polls closed.
Providing no evidence and taking no questions afterward from reporters, Trump spent nearly 17 minutes making the kind of incendiary statements about the country's democratic process that have never been heard before from a US president.

According to Trump, Democrats were using "illegal votes" to "steal the election from us." "If you count the legal votes, I easily win," he claimed. "They're trying to rig an election. And we can't let that happen."
Beyond the rhetoric, Trump's complaints were specifically targeting the integrity of the huge number of ballots mailed in, rather than cast in person on Election Day.
The big shift to postal ballots this year reflected the desire of voters to avoid risking exposure to Covid-19 in crowded polling stations during a pandemic that has already killed close to 235,000 Americans.
Mail in ballots favor @JoeBiden because they are the people who took corona virus seriously. Votes that are postmarked November 3rd are not "illegal" votes. And @realDonaldTrump you told your supporters NOT to vote by mail. #Elections2020
— Katie Couric (@katiecouric) November 5, 2020
However, because Trump often denied the seriousness of the virus and told his supporters not to support mail-in ballots, far fewer Republicans took advantage of the option, compared with Democrats.
Biden closes in
Several major US television networks cut away from live coverage of Trump's event and there were signs of cracks in Republican support.
Representative Will Hurd called Trump's call to stop vote-counting "dangerous and wrong," saying it "undermines the very foundation this nation was built upon."
And conservative Rupert Murdoch's powerful media empire appeared to shift tone, with his New York Post calling Trump's fraud allegations "baseless" and Fox News refusing Republican pressure to rescind its projection that Trump would lose Arizona, vital for his chances.
Read more: Win or lose, Trump's movement stronger and bigger than ever
Trump's rant came as returns from still undeclared states around the country showed Biden trending toward victory.
Biden, 77, was just one or at most two battleground states away from securing the majority to take the White House. Trump, 74, needed an increasingly unlikely combination of wins in multiple states to stay in power.
Biden, who has promised to heal a country bruised by Trump's extraordinarily polarizing four years in power, appealed for "people to stay calm."
"We have no doubt that when the count is finished, Senator Harris and I will be declared winners. I ask everyone to stay calm. We'll know very soon. Thank you all for your patience. God bless you all." @JoeBiden
— Katie Couric (@katiecouric) November 5, 2020
"We have no doubt that when the count is finished, Senator (Kamala) Harris and I will be declared the winners," he said in comments to reporters in his hometown of Wilmington.
"The process is working," he said. "The count is being completed. And we will know soon."
All about Pennsylvania?
In Georgia, a generally Republican state, Trump had a razor thin and fast vanishing lead of fewer than 1,900 votes. In Arizona and Nevada, Biden held on to slim leads. If Biden wins both those states he would also win the presidency.
But the biggest piece of the puzzle was Pennsylvania, where Trump's early lead was again steadily draining away, as election officials homed in on processing mail-in ballots, which are more typically cast by Biden supporters.
The Democratic hopeful currently has 253 of the 538 electoral college votes divvied up between the country's 50 states. He has 264 with the inclusion of Arizona, which Fox News and the Associated Press have called in his favor, but other major organizations have not.
Read more: Biden, Trump both predict victory as US president alleges theft
If Biden took Pennsylvania, he would grab 20 more electoral college votes, thereby instantly topping the necessary 270 for overall victory. Latest results showed Trump's lead in the state had shrunk to around 42,000 votes, with most votes yet to be counted coming from Democratic stronghold Philadelphia.
Protests across country
Trump's campaign continued to insist that the president has a way to win, citing pockets of Republican support yet to be counted. But Trump's overwhelming focus was on claiming, without evidence, that he was a victim of mass fraud.
Trump prematurely declared victory Wednesday and threatened to seek Supreme Court intervention to stop vote-counting but it has continued nonetheless. Since then, his team fanned out across the battleground states challenging the results in court and his supporters converged outside election offices in several cities.
Heading to GRAND RAPIDS, MICHIGAN after a great evening in KENOSHA, WISCONSIN! Get out and VOTE tomorrow, let's MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! pic.twitter.com/k6vyL1hLqL
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 3, 2020
In Las Vegas, Trump backers wearing red "Make America Great Again" hats demanded to see ballots being processed.
Brando Madrigal said he wanted to verify that the votes are "not coming from the people who died with Covid, people who are out of state, people who don't have the ability to vote because they don't have the papers."
But while Trump was demanding that counting be halted in Georgia and Pennsylvania — where he is leading — his supporters and campaign insisted that it continue in Arizona and Nevada, where he is trailing.

Bob Bauer, a lawyer for the Biden campaign, dismissed the slew of lawsuits as "meritless."
"All of this is intended to create a large cloud," Bauer said. "But it's not a very thick cloud. We see through it. So do the courts and so do election officials."

Last time we saw those left coasters (November 23, also in LA) Semyon Varlamov and Ben Scrivens posted a shutout into overtime until Jamie McGinn scored the lone goal for the Avs to give them the win. Going into that game, the Kings were starting to hit a bit of an early season stride with a 7-1-2 record in their previous 10 games and the Avs were 6-4 in their last 10 and we were all starting to talk more seriously about "regression" and ".500 hockey." Still, the result was a fast, physical game that had the feel of a playoff tilt. Coming into today's action, the feeling is much the same. Colorado (5-4-1 in last 10) has largely been an alternating win/loss team for the month of December while the Kings enter the game having won eight of their last ten.
The Kings have been getting scoring from multiple people but two guys on fire of late are left winger Dwight King who appears to be in the midst of a breakthrough season after largely being an ECHL and AHL stalwart to this point in the 24-year-old's career. He's pumped in 3 goals and 3 assists in his last five games. Similarly, Philly-fan-favorite Jeff Carter has tallied 3 goals and 5 assists in his last five. Notice that neither of those guys' names sound anything like "Anze Kopitar" or "Mike Richards" or "Justin Williams." So what I'm saying is they have some scoring depth.
Colorado has been no slouch in the goals department either. Mighty Matt Duchene has 4 goals to go along with 6 assists in his last five games, linemate and BFF Ryan O`Reilly has 2 goals and 2 assists in his last five, as does checking forward Maxim Talbot. Paul Stastny has fared a touch better with 2 goals and 3 assists. Missing from that list are usual stalwarts Gabriel Landeskog and P.A. Parenteau, not to mention Nathan MacKinnon. All three have been mired in a bit of goal drought of late.
But enough about those "superstar forwards" or whatever. Let's talk about the players the fans really care about. Stud King goalie Jonathan Quick is still out with a groin injury but backup Ben Scrivens has been rock solid (10-5) and the backup's backup Martin Jones has been unbeatable, going 7-0 to start his NHL career. I hope he's buying plenty of dinners for his team and wearing protection with all the "attention" he's no doubt getting from "grateful fans." Jones has a pretty damn good pedigree and has plenty of people talking about LA's stellar goaltending depth.
Semyon Varlamov got some good news yesterday as the Denver district attorney's office dropped all charges stemming from the incident in late October. As for his play on the ice, after getting shelled in a gongshow against Edmonton a few weeks ago, he's largely righted the ship going 3-1-1 since. Veteran J.S. Giguere has struggled of late dropping his last two decisions, but enters tonight's game with a pretty-spry-for-an-old-guy record of 7-2.
The Kings come into today's matinee game after knocking off the Sharks 4-1 on Thursday while the Avs exacted some measure of revenge on the Oilers with a 4-2 win that same night.

Ensure that the remote control can be used with low physical effort
Some people have reduced dexterity or strength in their hands. This is a natural consequence of aging. It may also be due to degenerative conditions that restrIct movements in the joints of the fingers, hands and wrists, affect muscle power and control or cause uncontrolled movements such as shaking. Some other people have only one usable hand, due to disability, injury or simply having to hold something else in the other hand. The usable hand may be the left or the right and may not be the person's naturally preferred hand.
Any of these conditions may make it more difficult for the person to grip objects and manipulate them with precision. Actions that require the user to press two or more buttons at the same time may be particularly difficult.
It may be difficult to hold a remote control in the correct position and press buttons without accidentally pressing other buttons at the same time. This problem is made worse if buttons are small and closely spaced because they are more difficult to accurately target and uncontrolled movements may cause the hands to stray off a button. In extreme cases, the user may accidentally strike the wrong button or strike two at the same time, causing errors. This can be particularly problematic with touchscreens or contact-sensitive controls where the user's hand can easily wander over the wrong area. Some people locate buttons by feel, so they need a way to touch buttons without activating them in order to identify them. This is of particular importance for blind people. Another source of unintended operations is buttons that repeat when they are held down for a length of time. In the UK digital switchover technical trial at Ferryside and Llansteffan, one of the issues identified with remote controls was that older users tended to hold handset buttons down too long, causing problems with menus and incorrect channel selection.
Buttons that are large, with a concave shape and well spaced will make the remote control easier for some users. In a 2004 survey of people with disabilities by Fain, large buttons and increased spacing were given very high usefulness ratings (average 3.4 and 3.3 out of a possible 4) by participants with upper mobility impairments. Concave buttons received a high rating of 2.8 out of 4. In the survey of television users carried out for these guidelines, when asked have you had any problems with the remote control?, answers included:
Buttons too small and too tight together.
Its okay but the buttons are small on the one for the TV. The one for the satellite box is better.
Guidelines survey respondents.
People may wish to hold the remote control in a position that is comfortable for their seating, reclining or standing position. When held in a position that allows users to comfortably grip and reach the buttons, the remote control may be oriented in a different direction from where they are facing, both vertically and horizontally. Some people with physical disabilities, for example, may have difficulty holding a remote control in a particular orientation so that it is pointed directly towards the equipment. In general, failure to point the remote control at the equipment was one of the issues identified in the UK digital switchover technical trial at Ferryside and Llansteffan.
Directions and techniques
Ensure that buttons are easy to press independently (high priority)
Buttons should be large and well spaced. An inactive space between buttons that is at least 50% of the button width is recommended. The On/Off button can be further isolated to avoid accidental activation.
Buttons can be given a concave shape to make them easier to press.
No actions should require the user to press two or more buttons at the same time.
Ensure that the remote control is easy and comfortable to use for someone with a weak grip or the use of only one hand (high priority)
The control should have an easy-grip textured surface that will not slip or turn in the hand. A matte finish tends to cause more friction than a glossy finish.
The remote control should be stable enough when placed on a flat (hard or soft) surface to be operated with one finger. One of the guidelines survey respondents described using the remote control in this way:
Not easy - I use a wheelchair and I need to balance it on the arm of it.
Guidelines survey respondent.
The remote control should be well balanced, with the weight uniformly distributed when the batteries are in place.
The size of the remote control and the stretching distances required to reach various buttons can be compared with hand size and thumb extension data such as that contained in the UK Department of Trade and Industry publication Specific anthropometric and strength data for people with dexterity disability. For interactive television applications, the user may need to hold the remote control for prolonged periods, so it should not be too heavy. However, bear in mind that very small and light remote controls may also be difficult to use.
Providing a hand strap that can be attached to the control as an accessory, such as the one shown in figure 9, is a very useful choice for some people.
Avoid accidental operations (high priority)
The design of the remote control should include a way to avoid buttons being activated when they are unintentionally touched.
Let the user know that a button has been pressed (high priority)
Provide feedback in tactile, audible and/or visual form on button presses, so that the user knows when a button has been pressed, either intentionally or unintentionally.
Allow for inaccurate pointing of the control
Ensure that the remote control sends its signal across a wide angle, both horizontally and vertically, so that it is not necessary to point the remote control directly at the equipment.
Ensure that users can change the batteries
The battery compartment should be designed so that opening it and inserting or removing batteries is straightforward, within the constraints of making it safe for small children. If the battery compartment lid comes off completely, it may be easily dropped, so a hinged design may be better.
How you could test for this
Prototype designs can be compared against anthropometric data giving ranges of strength, finger size and reach for a general population. A good source is the UK Department of Trade and industry publication Specific anthropometric and strength data for people with dexterity disability. Prototypes can also be assessed against the checklist provided in the study of remote control devices for digital TV receivers published by the Department for Business Enterprise and Regulatory Reform in the UK. Industry standards for good practice such as the Digital TV Group (DTG) D-Book in the UK can also be used as checklists.
Some criteria, such as the likelihood of users making errors, are difficult to assess without user testing by a wide range of users, including older people and people with physical disabilities that result in reduced dexterity or hand control. Include tests of one-handed use, including people using their less-favoured hand.

by Jennifer OByrne
(Brooklyn Park MN)
This photo was captured in my garden after a quick rain. The water was forming a large droplet on the petal and I liked the way the flower stems in the background created a fan type look.
I was practicing with my macro lens.
(For convenience, all links below open in new windows)
It's interesting to see quite a number of flower shots being submitted this month – we must be getting near to spring!
As flower shots go, this is pretty good. Jennifer has done the right thing by choosing the macro lens – these lenses allow photographers to focus really closely on their subject.
(As a brief aside, many 'macro' lenses aren't true macros. A true macro focuses so close to the subject that the subject itself is life size on the image sensor in your camera. For example; if your image sensor is 30mm by 20mm in size and you are taking a photo of, say, a postage stamp that is also 30mm by 20mm, the stamp would completely fill the frame and be in focus.)
The other thing that Jennifer has done here to make this a good shot is choose a wide aperture. The result is that the flower is in pin-sharp focus, but the background is blurred. This is what we call a shallow depth of field. Read more about depth of field here.
The water on the petals is nice too. Jennifer says that she captured this photo after some rain. If you want to add droplets to a flower like this, and there hasn't been any rain, you can always cheat a little. Grab one of those plant sprayers. Set it to deliver a fine mist, and then give your subject a quick spray!
Is there anything I would change? Just a couple of things – I think the square crop is underused (everybody seems to go for rectangles), but I think it would work wonders here. Imagine a square crop close to the flower, cutting out the stray petal on the left of the photo. I think it would balance the photo better. Read a digital photography tutorial on cropping here.
My other tip is one that may or may not have been possible – and that's wait for the sun. When flowers have had a sprinkle, and then the sun comes out, the droplets really sparkle and shine. I appreciate that there may not have been any sun. The only solution would be to take the photo on a sunny day, and use the 'plant sprayer cheat' described above.

For anyone wanting to improve their diet, lose weight or are following a healthy eating plan like our 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge (be quick next round is starting SOON!), cutting out processed foods is sure to be on the to-do list.
So instead of reaching for the jar of shop bought processed pasta sauce, why not make our Healthy Mummy Healthy homemade pasta sauce recipe below? You might be surprised by the depth of flavour that comes from using really ripe tomatoes and fresh garlic.
This super simple homemade pasta sauce uses a range of fresh produce and gets its flavour from ingredients like chilli, garlic and vinegar, as opposed to calorific and artificial additives. The primary ingredients are full of healthful and fat fighting benefits as well.
- Tomatoes are chock full of goodness. They are a good source of vitamins (A, C, K, potassium and folate); and are low in sodium, calories, and saturated fat.
- Garlic is a well-known fat fighter. It boosts your metabolism, regulates your blood sugar, and even eliminates fat from the cells!
- Red onions, as well as packing a big flavour hit, are great for cardiovascular health and can lower cholesterol and blood pressure.
Healthy Homemade Pasta Sauce Recipe Ingredients
- 6 ripe tomatoes (or you can use 2 x 400g tins of good quality diced tomatoes)
- 1 bulb of fresh garlic
- 2 red onions
- 2 small red chillis
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp red wine
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- Preheat the oven to 200°C.
- Cut the tomatoes and garlic bulb in half, quarter the red onions, and place on a baking tray with the whole chillis. If using tinned tomatoes, just add them at step 6.
- Drizzle with olive oil and season well
- Place in the oven for 30 minutes or until the tomatoes have softened and the garlic is soft to touch
- Once cool enough to handle, take the garlic and squeeze all of the flesh out into a bowl.
- Add the tomato, chilli, onion, wine and vinegar.
- Whiz everything together with a stick blender until just combined. Serve on top of your favourite pasta.

As you know, star running back Adrian Peterson will not be suiting up against the Atlanta Falcons today. Starting in his stead will be second year running back Toby Gerhart. Gerhart has seen limited action in his two seasons and has just 118 yards on 24 carries this season.
Besides Peterson, the Vikings are relatively healthy. Wide receiver Percy Harvin, who was questionable all week with a ribs injury, is active and will play. Tight end Visanthe Shiancoe, who was also questionable with a hamstring injury and limited in practice all week, is also active for Sunday's game.
Here's the full list of Minnesota Vikings inactives vs. Falcons:
• Running back Adrian Peterson (ankle)
• Tight end Kyle Rudolph (quad)
• Offensive tackle DeMarcus Love
• Guard Anthony Herrera (knee)
• Defensive end D'Aundre Reed
• Corner back Chris Cook (not injury-related)
• Safety Husain Abdullah (concussion)
