text: SEO If you already have your own blog, I am sure you've heard of the Authorize Network. Well, just in case you haven't, the Authorize Network is an amazing blogging platform that allows anyone to be able to market online! When you sign up with the Authorize Network you get a wordpress blog complete with hosting, lead capture page and sales funnel! This is as close to 'just add water' as you can get! Building backlinks from your Authorize Network blog to your own personal blog will help build your credibility on the internet! What does the Authorize Network have to do with backlinking? To understand what a quality backlink is, it is imperative to understand PageRank. PageRank was created by Larry Page and Sergey Brin of Google. Larry Page's 'WebCrawler' started in March 1996, starting from his own Stanford homepage. Page and Brin developed the PageRank algorithm to convert the backlink data into a measure of importance. Feel free to Google Larry Page to get the rest of the story. The Authorize Network already has a PageRank of 1 PageRank has a rating of 0 to 10. When all sites start out, they start out at zero. Only sites like Google and Yahoo have a PageRank of 10. Sites like E-zines and Hub pages have a PageRank of about 5 or so. Personal blogs have a PageRank of 0 to 3 – on average. Some rank around 4 or 5. Achieving PageRank takes time, credibility, and backlinks (references). The higher your PageRank, the more 'important' the site is. The Authorize Network is a month old, and has a PageRank of 1. Most sites take a year to get there. Get quality backlinks by linking your blog to your Authorize Network Blog When your personal site has a backlink (reference) from a site with a PageRank the same or higher than yours, that is a 'quality' backlink. The more 'quality' backlinks you have, the more relevant your site appears to the search engines. When your site appears to be 'important', it will rank higher in the search engines. Since the Authorize Network already has a PageRank of 1, connecting the two blogs together will give you a quality backlink for your blog. EXPOSTURE! Action Step – Whenever you submit a blog post to your personal blog, connect it to a blog post on the Authorize Network and vice versa. Remember, the Authorize Network isn't just any ordinary blog. When you refer someone that signs up for an Authorize Network blog, you receive 100% commission! If you're blogging daily, this is an opportunity for you to blog and generates leads and income!

Does your skin turn red or blotchy when drinking?
A flushed or blushed face when drinking alcohol occurs because there is a build up of too much acetaldehyde in your system. Many unfortunate people who experience this symptom experienced many other symptoms associated with consuming alcoholic beverages. As you consume alcohol in your body's attempt to metabolize it results in the production of acetaldehyde. Half of the Asian population and most non Asian people can properly metabolize the acetaldehyde getting rid of it. The inability to properly BREAK DOWN ACETALDEHYDE will result in these unpleasant symptoms when drinking alcohol, red face being just one of many symptoms.
More serious symptoms beside the red flushed face can include intense congestion and/or difficulty breathing, a racing heart, sweating, dizziness, and a feeling of bloating. Like many sufferers you may also be victim to terrible hang overs the next day as well. The bad new is if you do have these alcohol allergic reactions you are much more likely to get cancer of the throat or stomach. If you're allergic to alcohol you have one of two choices – help your body to digest acetaldehyde or stop consuming alcohol entirely. Continue reading to find out how to end these nightmarish symptoms and start enjoying alcohol once more.
The first method is a prescription which is not recommended as the side effects can be worse than the symptoms. The Alcohol Allergy Cure is an all natural and healthy method of preventing ALL of the alcohol allergic reactions when drinking alcohol. Appropriately named the no red face formula it stops all of the symptoms including red face, headache, racing heart and nausea. This alcohol allergy cure formula means no expensive doctor visits. Another side effect of alcohol allergy besides the red face and all the other symptoms is a much worse than normal hangover which is greatly reduced by the red face free cure.
note: this alcohol sensitivy cure can increase your tolerance for alcohol so extra caution must be used when drinking in the future. It feels good to know you can now go out and drink with out worrying if your face is going to look like rudolphs red nose.

The decals are printed on automotive quality vinyl, then precisely trimmed. The excess vinyl is weeded off the sheet, and then application tape is applied over the entire sheet. The application tape helps in placement of the decals and keeps them from getting stretched or distorted during application.

Liz Scott ( Liz's blog) shares her workshop/studio with us today for the latest installment of How Do You Organize?. Liz set me some pictures of her workspace and I was taken with how cute and neatly organized it was, I just had to ask her about her organizational setup.
If you want to share your organization solutions, problems, before & afters or anything else related to organization, send me an email. I'd love to take a look.
Can you give us a mini tour of your workspace? What's the layout like? What do you work on there?
My studio is the largest bedroom in our 2 bedroom apartment. I share the space with my soon-to-arrive daughter, so it is a studio/nursery. I have about half of the overall space for my sewing, blogging, and designing needs. I have a large work table and a shelving unit that holds my stash of fabric, an inspiration bulletin board on the wall, a large computer desk which also includes my printer and scanner.
How would you describe your organizational style? Are you more "everything has its place" or "a little clutter breeds creativity"?
I am so "everything has its place." I wasn't always like this, but I have become a bit of an organizational freak in recent years. It just makes me feel better if everything looks neat 🙂 That being said, the studio is not always that way and I don't get too upset if things are messy for a while.
I have designated space for everything I need to do in the studio/nursery. In a room where so much happens, overall it is very functional. Doing things like using the closet for my sewing nook and putting more cabinetry in there for organization, really goes a long way in maximizing the utility of the room.
What's the story behind that wooden piece you are storing your notions in? Do you know what it was originally used for?
This piece, that now resides next to my sewing machine was found at the inimitable Rose Bowl Flea Market. I'm not really sure about the former life here, that's why this piece really speaks to me. My best guess is that it may have been in someone's garage workshop and I like to believe there was a little chart hanging on the wall somewhere that corresponded to each numbered box to tell the contents. Not sure, but it definitely met my criteria when searching for containers to house my sewing notions. I love the painted numbers and the rustic look of this wooden box, so I didn't want to paint it, instead I just scrubbed it within an inch of its life.
Where is your workspace in your home? Does that present challenges for organizing?
My workspace is at the back of the apartment and it has a door that leads out to the backyard. It is really the nicest room in the whole place and the only challenge is that I can see the hammock in the backyard and sometimes I slack on my work so that I can head back there and read a book or take a nap 🙂

In 1976, I worked as a server at the Eat'n Park on Banksville Rd. When summer rolled around, I was transferred to the Eat'n Park on Lyle Blvd. in McKeesport and was promoted to Training Specialist. The company had just built this restaurant, and it was beautiful. I was responsible for conducting orientations for all the new employees and then training them in the restaurant dining room.
So there I was, working my way through college with little on my mind other than making as much money as I could that summer; however I couldn't overlook the extremely handsome trio of men who were managers and general managers. Although I had a boyfriend waiting for me back at school, I indulged in a little flirting. So did the other training specialist. We spent a lot of time working with two specific managers. We were kinda interested in them and they in us.
Sooooo, leave it to the men to decide who would ask out who. They flipped a coin and the winner chose to ask the other girl who, ironically, said 'no'. I was the booby prize. The other manager got "stuck" with me. We couldn't go out on a date at that time because we worked together. However I was being transferred on July 4th, and accepted a date for the next day.
It was a 'magical' day. I was told to dress casually, so I wore a little sun dress. He picked me up at 6 am and apparently our destination was Moraine State Park. I thought, 'how romantic, a picnic at the lake'. He pulled up to a little restaurant/gas station, and I figured he was getting the fixin's for our lunch. He came out with two dozen worms and a big pail of frantically swimming little fish. I must have looked puzzled, at which point he said, "I did tell you we were going fishing, didn't I?" NO, he didn't, but I was game.
I pulled in some beautiful bass while my date proceeded to be the macho man and throw lures into the lake that were bigger than my bass. He got skunked. I think he was trolling for Moby Dick. But wait, there's more. He said we were going to dinner and a movie. I thought maybe this would be a little more romantic than the fishing disaster. He took me to Pizza Hut and then to see a western, "The Shootist" with John Wayne. At this point, I had figured out that we were probably the most mis-matched couple in the world. He took me home and was working up the nerve to kiss me good night. And then it happened! His lips met mine and rockets went off! I was levitating, fireworks shooting everywhere! I didn't even realize the kiss had ended. He asked me out for the following evening. Having just lost the power of speech, I mutely nodded yes.
And so our romance continued. On Thanksgiving Dinner 1980, this wonderful man asked my parents, "Can I have your wife as my daughter's hand in marriage?" If I didn't already love him, that would have endeared him to me forever! Of course, my parents assured him that he could marry me, but that my Mom was taken. That broke the tension. Every Thanksgiving since that day, I give thanks that this man lost a bet a long time ago. We were married on March 27th, 1982. My husband, Jeff, is a General Manager with Eat'n Park with 38 years of service. I stayed with the company for 7 years, at which time I moved on to a job related to my field of study in college. I'm now a stay at home Mom, caring for my 17 year-old son who also works for Eat'n Park. We're an Eat'n Park family through and through! And regarding that coin toss, I'm SO glad that Jeff ended up with me.

Press Release
Some young HR person once looked at my CV and asked me, quite seriously, if I had really done everything I had listed there. Well, yes. Because I am someone who can't sit in a Morris Miller cubicle every day, much less for any great stretch of time. Once the problem is solved, I get bored and I'm ready to move on to the next challenge. This hasn't afforded me any great stability in my work life. I simply arrive in places about ten years ahead of time. So far, at least, that penchant for early arrival hasn't been accompanied with a pocketbook full of door knobs. View all posts by dhaugen →

From: USA
Year: 2012
I grew up listening to hardcore in the early 90's. Bands like Burn, Vision, Eye for an Eye, Turning Point, etc. But as the decade progressed I felt myself moving away from hardcore as the sound moved from originality and good songwriting and seemed to be more about e-chord chugging and tough–guy posturing. Or maybe that was just my skewed perception. In any case once in awhile I come across a band that revitalizes my love of hardcore. Ghostlimb are one of those bands. Scathing and incredibly thrashy they utilize melody and constant time changes (especially on track 8-Control, which has some really cool tempo shifts)and make use of most every card in the hardcore deck while being aggressive enough to satisfy those of you that just want to go to a show and rip someones head off and diverse enough to satisfy pricks like me that get bored easily, their sound is anything but one-dimensional. And with their incredible cover of Southeast First by Hot Water Music how can you go wrong? Pre-order a copy from Vitriol Records.

Aurora World is probably one of the RPGs with most features I've played in the last 5 years.
But let's start simple:
Character creation:
One Race, 2 genders
8 hair styles
9 hair colors (missing blonde hair, but a light skin color called blonde does exit)
6 faces
8 face decor (face paint)
3 skin colors
3 nations (each with distinct clothing)
(Classes are chosen through a quest later on.)
Warrior: Def and patk (since I played this one I can say it burns a lot of MP potions past lvl 20 but gets better and better at tanking)
Witch: extra pet summon, debuff (those infos are actually from the ingame "quiz" where you need to learn the difference between the classes before chosing one.
Alchemist healer, 10% extra exp buff for parties, revival
Mage: matk and spamable AOE
Each class can chose one of two advancements at level 40.
Classic point n click, WASD/LMB movement RMB cam.
Automovement (for quest objectives, NPCs or directly on minimap) works with preset waypoints so you might get stuckContinue Reading

Yo peeps, The Aurora World is a F2P 3D mmorpg with eastern styled soundtracks and graphic style it is currently in Open Beta Test (OBT) stage.
It has four classes like: warrior, alchemist, mage and a witch. And all of those classes has 2 sub-classes. There are also 3 nations:Helios - Sun nation, Eos - Star nation, Selene - Moon nation. You have to chose one when you are creating your character. The customization in character creation is pretty decent. Graphics very outdated as for a 2013 game. Game has a lot of events, players are active and they are looking which whom to raid some instances/dungeons. There are always slots for people who are looking for some guilds or to join some events. As I played the game I noticed that the game isn't that boring, it's pretty generic mmorpg, but noContinue Reading

After rain
Several times have I though about sitting down and writing a new blog post, but every time something has failed me. I haven't abandoned this blog, but ever since Knatti's death I haven't been in the mood to write. For one reason or another, it hasn't been the same reason every day. I've felt drained, my mind has been unhappy, laced with guilt and worries [which is what I'll call it for the sake of this blog].
It was like everything that's happened since last august piled up and Knatti was the final straw. I just couldn't find the energy for things, not for making nor for writing anything (including replies on the kind comments I got from blog readers on that last post before disappearing off the blog). Then came the extremely hot days of July that drained my body rather than my mind -- sunny summer days are lovely, but it was too hot for me. I tried several times to jump start my creativity. Usually it's just a matter of getting started, gaining momentum and then the enthusiasm takes over, rekindle the passion. But this time, it didn't really work. I haven't even picked up my camera very often, which has usually been a way of battling creative ruts with its instant satisfaction and motivation to go for walks, get the body working.
The few things I started didn't enthuse me, the results were poor and left me feeling blue and useless rather than pushing me to do something else, something more. I just got frustrated and then not doing anything made me feel guilty and tired. While I have enjoyed many of the summer days, those feelings of guilt and tiredness have almost always been there. Not always all-consuming, often almost gone or just like a dull feeling in the back of the head. It certainly haven't been a deeply depressing time and I've had some good times, but the energy levels have often been low and it's easy to forget the good days when feeling down. So despite all the good and great days, it feels like I've wasted a summer. You can't rewind time and there's always a kind of guilt in feeling you've wasted time.
Those grey clouds in my mind also affected my writing. I've posted on my other blog throughout the summer, but it was pretty much done on autopilot. A few times I felt like posting here, but the words didn't come, or I lost energy sitting down in front of the blank computer screen. I didn't feel any enthusiasm about blogging.
I have however pinned. Pinning is easy, effortless but still rewarding. I can still get really into searching for things, looking around websites for new finds etc. So pinning has kept me from feel too listless, it's given me something to do. Something FUN to do. I've also found myself getting back to an interest I've had before, but which is even more expensive than beading or cats: perfume. Especially niche perfumes. When you can't make anything else work, scents are really great pick-me-ups. They can remind one of cherished memories, happy things, favourite places, they can paint a picture for you or transport you to another place, they can calm you down or make you feel warm and cozy. In my usual way, taking up a hobby or getting a new/renewed interest in something means immersing myself. Partially it's a matter of money: if you can't buy all that you want, you can at least read up on it and that's what I've done. So far I've got a list of over 570 perfumes I want to try after reading fragrance pyramids and reviews. That's not counting the half dozen samples already bought.
Especially two of the perfumes really helped my mood. One was an aquatic/marine rose fragrance that was a great soothing, calming and cooling scent for the sunny days and one was a warm, cozy woody vanilla for the rainy and cold days and, especially, nights. Because the weather turned, not just changed a little but did almost a 180 degree turn. And not for the better.
In mid-august the tropical heat of July turned into quite the opposite. The temperatures plummeted, it started raining every day, we got the gale-force winds of late autumn and everything was just wet and chilly. It was more like mid-october than mid-august! Felt like the weather lasted for ages, but of cause it's just been a couple of weeks. Warm socks and cozy vanilla perfume has kept the grey outside from building up too much inside me, but it's still been some dreary weeks.
A few days ago, I started an autumn pinboard to try an pick myself up as I usually do love autumn a lot and at the same time the weather changed. The heavy grey skies are -- literally -- gone with the wind. Today the sun is shining, the sky is a brilliant blue only partially obscured by clouds that are more white than grey, there's just a slight, crisp wind and the last rain is now only visible as drops on the leaves and grass. The combination of the two has really brightened my mind. It still feels more like october than august, but at least it feels like sunny october days.
And that's where I'm at right now. Feeling like things are getting a little better. My mood, the weather. I'm looking forward to a beautiful autumn and I hope it'll also make me feel better. Some sunshine, crisp but gentle winds, apple picking, grape eating and forest walks is what I need now to recharge my batteries and air out all the bad thoughts -- and these are the perfect days for it now. Things feel a bit brighter now.

I'm glad to see you back, I've missed your posts. It's perfectly natural for you to feel the way you have after the year you've had. It takes time to grieve and recover from loss. Don't punish yourself over it. Hugs to you and I hope things continue to get better.ReplyDelete

Thanks for the comments on my previous post, guys. :D I like all the skins listed, in their own ways - but still.... I shall continue my hunt.
A few nights ago, I asked Kagic if we could have a pet. I rezzed all my pets out for him - my cat, panther, black lab, french bulldog, and even my horse. Eventually, we settled on the lab, and I was reminded of how cute SL pets are.
You don't have to crate train, feed them, take them out on walks.... they just roam around and greet you in SL. However, with this one - you can pet it, picnic next to it, buy different collars or bandannas, shake its paw, or even play frisbee. :D Its super cute.
Anyway. We call him Chevy, and he is always there to greet me when I TP home. ^^

On November 12, Karen sat down with Charles Smith, Executive Director, and Gina McGovern, Design and Innovation Specialist of the Weikart Center for Youth Program Quality. The Weikart Center is housed at the Forum for Youth Investment.
The Social and Emotional learning project that the Susan Crowne Exchange is leading "is one of the most exciting efforts that's underway current to make the invisible visible, to understand the how the abilities and practices really play out in the day to day lives of young people and how we can be intentional about improving them."
The evaluation, which will be released in February 2016, examines how eight out-of-school programs in seven states support young people in developing key social and emotional skills. It looks at what the intentional staff practices are, and what the impact is on young people.

About Me
Hello! I develop various mods for GTA V and LSPDFR. My most popular released mods to-date have been Custom Backup and Better EMS:
I am currently developing the much-anticipated Coastal Callouts mod to bring the excitement of LSPDFR to the skies and waters of GTA V. Coastal Callouts is the single-player DLC that R* never gave us... it features a DLC pack with over 10 different boats, ships, helicopters, and planes; coast guard stations added to the map; and coast guard peds and uniforms. The plugin itself is much more than just a callout pack. It adds features such as helicopter rescue hoists, throwable life preservers, helicopter and boat co-pilot AI, and much more. The mod is currently under development. You can follow its progress from the work-in-progress page on the LSPDFR forums, or join the Parks Benefactor Program to get early beta access.
If you enjoy my mods and would like to support my work, please consider joining the Parks Benefactor Program! You'll get early access to updates and new modifications I develop, and get the satisfaction of supporting the development of highly-polished and creative mods for LSPDFR.

A brief review of damping is followed by a comparison of three sets of lift-force data for circular cylinders, subjected only to transverse oscillation. Then the significance of two-dimensional or biharmonic oscillations (in both the in-line and transverse directions) is discussed in light of experiments undertaken for that purpose, to simulate more closely the true nature of flow-induced oscillations.

The birth of a grandchild is a very happy occasion for the grandparents, more than, when they had their own children. Even parents cannot decipher the pleasure and succour of the grandparents when they first see the child. They are on seventh Heaven. The grandparents can teach them many good things. The best babysitters, of course, are the baby's grandparents. You can feel completely comfortable entrusting your baby to them for long periods. Some daughter-in-laws don't trust their mother-in –laws. They have a maid, who is instructed to keep an eye on the grandma. This is very ridiculous. A child who is allowed to be disrespectful to his grandparents will never know what is pure love. I spoke to a lady recently, who was not at all on good terms with her mother-in-law. Before leaving for office, she would advice her three year old daughter to keep an eye on Dadi. In such cases law of natural justice gives them the same treatment that they give to the elderly.The child's natural instinct is to be with grandma instead of the maid.If the grandparents are staying with their children, they are their natural teachers. They tell the children stories from ancient history, culture and mythology. The child thus has a wider perspective of living. They even give the children healthy and wholesome food, thereby ensuring that the children do not get crazy for junk food. The influence of the grandparents is, that the children learn to be tolerant. Under the influence of maids children pick up colloquial language, which is full of slangs. In the company of grand parents a child learn to speak softly and modestly, they acquire good manners. My elder granddaughter, as a small child used to sleep with us. Though there was a separate bed for her, she would come and lie down between me and my husband and coax him to tell stories. My husband used to tell her stories from scriptures and all religions. Today, she is in her mid twenties and is well versed in stories from all religions.
If the grand parents are staying in a separate house, it is the duty of the parents that they must allow their children to spend time in their company during their vacations. Not only the children, but also the grandparents have a good time with their grandhildren. The children gain self confidence. The grandparents inculcate good habits in a child. Since they have all the time in the world they teach them good manners, humility, give and take, table manners, how to behave with outsiders. The three 'Rs' today have a different meaning. They aim to empower the children to be Righteous, Responsible and Reverent.

Dogs to be Spared Pesticide Poisoning Tests in Brazil
HSI commends ANVISA move away from redundant animal test requirement
Brazil's health agency, ANVISA, has announced its commitment to remove a redundant and scientifically unnecessary one-year dog study from its safety testing requirements for pesticides, a move strongly encouraged by global animal welfare organization Humane Society International. As the world's largest market for agricultural and other pesticide chemicals, this move by Brazil marks the beginning of the end of this controversial animal test globally.
Antoniana Ottoni, legislative assessor of Humane Society International in Brazil, stated: "Beagle dogs have been suffering terribly in long-term laboratory testing, in which their food is poisoned with a pesticide chemical for an entire year before they are ultimately killed. Pesticide regulators in the United States, European Union, and India have already removed this cruel test from their regulations, and HSI is delighted that ANVISA has heeded our call to follow this ethical and scientifically correct example."
Donate to support HSI's campaign to end animal testing around the world.
As many as 10,000 dogs, rodents, rabbits, birds and fish may be used in the registration of a single new agricultural chemical according to current requirements. Redundancies in pesticide testing requirements in Brazil and elsewhere mean that the same test may be repeated twice or more using different animal species or via different exposure routes, such as oral force-feeding, forced inhalation or skin exposure.
State-of-the-art non-animal test methods are already available and shown to be scientifically superior to using rabbits to test for skin and eye irritation, or mice or guinea pigs to test for skin allergy, among others. Humane Society International continues to work closely with ANVISA toward replacement or maximum possible reduction of animal test requirements for pesticides.

A Source Code block is used to highlight text that represents identifiers, directory names, file names and similar concepts.
Words or phrases in curly braces ('{' and '}') are placeholders that should be replaced with the appropriate content. For example, AIP-identifier indicates that a valid AIP identifier, of the form arch-{collection number}-{edition number}, should be inserted, where, in turn, {collection number} and {edition number} must also be replaced with actual values, while the dashes, which are not enclosed by braces, are literal text to include in the final AIP identifier.
Square brackets ('[' and ']') are used to indicate a set of choices, from which one choice should be selected. Each choice is separated from the next by a pipe character ('|'). For example {file name}.[pdf|tif] indicates a file name that should finish with either the extension '.pdf' or the extension '.tif'.
This document summarises the requirements for preparing collections for the ADS repository, and for their management within the repository.
This document makes considerable use of terminology and concepts from the OAIS reference model.
An OAIS is defined within the Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems document as "an archive, consisting of an organization of people and systems, that has accepted the responsibility to preserve information and make it available for a Designated Community" (2002).
There are six mandatory responsibilities that an OAIS compliant archive should meet and they are summarised below:
- Negotiate for appropriate deposits
- Obtain sufficient control of resources
- Determine scope of community
- Ensure independent utility of data
- Follow procedures for preservation
- Disseminate to the designated community
The ADS carries out all of these core functions. We can also map both staff and archival activities to the OAIS data model illustrated below.
In the OAIS model, information packages move from producers through the OAIS and on to the data consumers. In the ADS, depositors send us data deposits (submission information packages), either via an automated system known as ADS EASY, the OASIS system or via physical delivery on disc/other storage device or FTP.
Each deposit is then accessioned into a collection and archived (as an archival information package). An online interface is created for this collection and in this way it can be disseminated and accessed by our users (as a dissemination information package).
Submission Information Package (SIP)
SIP is the OAIS term for a deposit of data. The ADS will accept SIPs that fit the requirements given in our:
Archival Information Package (AIP)
AIP is the OAIS term for a coherent set of information that will be archived. SIPs accepted by the ADS will be added to an AIP that conforms to the requirements outlined in this document.
An AIP consists of electronic files containing the data, documentation, metadata and administrative material (scanned or digital licence, correspondence etc.) for a collection.
The deposited data itself represents what the OAIS model defines as the content information, which is the actual material being preserved. Also a part of the AIP is the Preservation Description Information (PDI), which is the administrative metadata used to plan and manage the preservation of the content information. At the ADS this is increasingly driven by the storing of file-level technical metadata within an extension to the Collection Management System known as the Object Management System or OMS.
The OAIS model allows AIPs to contain other AIPs. An ADS AIP may contain other AIPs where previous editions have been replaced with a new edition.
AIP Directory Naming
Each AIP must have a persistent identifier, taking the form:
arch-{collections number}-{edition number}
The collections number will be a unique identifier for the collection. This number will be automatically generated by the ADS Collections Management System (CMS).
The first edition of a collection should be given the edition number 1, and subsequent editions should be numbered sequentially (2,3,4 etc.). Editions must be numbered using positive integers. An ADS AIP may hold more than one edition of a collection. All previous editions of a collection should be stored in the /previous/ directory under their AIP identifier.
AIP Directory Structure
Conceptually, the OAIS model describes an AIP as having two main parts, the content information and the preservation description information (PDI). For the ADS, these two parts of an AIP are both stored as files in a single directory tree. The AIP directory tree is a logical rather than physical structure, and its contents may be spread across multiple storage devices (for example the preservation data may be in a separate location to the dissemination). Keeping a consistent and tight directory structure allows us to store parts of an AIP in different locations without confusion. See appendix 2 for further information on this.
The 7 Main Subdirectories
The AIP directory structure has seven main subdirectories (summarised below). These neatly organise the material in an AIP according to its purpose and origin.
- Original – Material accessioned (subject to ADS Ingest Procedures), from the depositor as the SIP is stored here.
- Admin – Administrative material, notably metadata about the contents of the AIP, the scanned licence agreement, correspondence and checksums are held here.
- Preservation – The data directory for holding preservation files and file-level metadata
- Dissemination – The data directory for holding dissemination files and file-level metadata.
- Previous – This directory can be used to hold previous editions of the AIP.
- Migration – This directory can be used to hold old versions of files which have been migrated into newer formats.
These 6 directories must be named as listed above (in lower case).
This level of the AIP directory must not contain any other files or directories.
For further information about the content and structure of these directories see the relevant section below.
The /original/ directory should contain the following:
|All files received from the depositor and accepted as part of the final deposit
The /original/ directory should be structured as follows:
- A subdirectory named by accession number must be created under /original/ to hold data from each individual accession (for example /770/)
- A subdirectory named by date must be used under the accession number directory to distinguish tranches of material received from the depositor at different times under one accession. This directory should be named as follows: yyyy-mm-dd (for example /2008-04-23/).
- The subdirectories of the SIP should be maintained in the structure they were delivered in. Other logical subdirectories may be created by ADS staff, for example where an SIP is delivered on multiple CDs, the subdirectories /cd1/, /cd2/, /cd3/ may be used.
- Changes to the names of directories or files provided by the depositor are discouraged. However, on occasion certain characters may have to be removed or replaced. Guidelines on editing names are available on the ADS staff wiki, and replicated in brief below.
|Replace with / Strip
|Period / full stop
|/ \
|Slash and Backslash
|Question mark
|Quotation mark
|> <
|Greater and less than
|~[ ~]
|Square brackets
|Percent sign
|( )
|Round brackets
|Strip or replace
|May need to separate bracketed value with -
|Exclamation mark
|Hash / pound
|Grave accent
|{ }
|Curly brackets
|May indicate a temporary or backup file
The /admin/ folder must contain the following files (see appendix 4 regarding reserved file names):
|File name
|A licence form scanned and saved as uncompressed tif or PDF/A
|Scanned licences must meet the Requirements for Scanned Hardcopy Material (appendix 3). Digital licences sent via the CMS must be stored as PDF/A. On ocassion non-standard licences (such as where the depositor has requested data be deposited nder formal CC-BY), file-naming must indicate nature of the content, e.g. licence_cc-by.tif. Any extensions or explanation of licencing (such as an individual signing on behalf of many, or a defunct organisation) may be stored in an ancillary text file (suitable for preservation) with a suitable name, e.g. licence_addendum.txt
The /admin/ folder may additionally contain the following items which should be stored in a directory called /project_metadata/:
|File name
|A text file containing the Dublin Core metadata record that has been loaded into ArchSearch
|This is not currently undertaken for current collections, but may exist for older archives
|Copy of an e-mail sent to, or received from the data producer
|Store only those mails which: - help document the SIP - give us permission to remove or edit files in the SIP - have been sent with original data to be accessioned into our archive- clear up copyright issues surrounding any of the dataAny other e-mails can simply be printed and stored in the yellow folder
|Project metadata files
|Other files (normally supplied as part of the SIP) that help document or describe the project as a whole. They should be named as named within the SIP, or if created by ADS, in a logical and meaningful way. Do not store any files that are duplicates of data and documentation that is already held in the /preservation/ directory.
|If it relates to files of a particular file type, the /documentation/ directory will sit under the individual file type directory. For example a listing of captions for a set of jpg images should sit in /jpg/documentation/, or documentation for a database should sit in /csv/documentation/.
|Introduction and Overview text
|Introduction and Overview text for the web interface should be stored here
|Where this information has been gleaned from other documents within the AIP, there is no need to store it separately here. As long as it is stored somewhere within the AIP that is adequate
|Digital copy of the deposit receipt sent to depositor after accessioning of data.
|This is not currently undertaken for current collections, but may exist for older archives. This may either have been in e-mail form (store as txt file) or as a printed Word document (store as docx)
Note: it is important that files in the /admin/ directory are in suitable preservation file formats
Data Directories
The AIP Directory folder contains the following directories for holding the data component of the archive:
- /preservation/ - All files allocated for preservation
- /dissemination/ - All files allocated for dissemination
These 2 directories may contain the following subdirectories:
|/ {file type} /
|Using these directories we can store files of the same file types together. You may have a directory named /tif/, /jpg/, /pdf/ or /csv/ for storing files of those types.
|/ {file type} / {arbitrary} /
|Other arbitrary sub-directory structures are permitted under the file type directory. Sub-directories used in the original deposit will often add context to the data and should be replicated within the two data directories. Other logical structures may be created by the ADS in order to help order the files within the online interface. Any significant changes to directory structure should be recorded as a 'Process - Restructure' in the CMS
|/ {documentation} /
|This directory should be used for any file which relate to all, or groups of , files of different extensions/data types. For example /documentation/all_file_cpations.txt
|/ {file type}/{arbitrary}/documentation/
|This sub-directory under the file type or arbitrary directories is for documentation specific to the different file types. For example a listing of captions for a set of jpg images should sit in /jpg/documentation/, or documentation for a database should sit in /csv/documentation/.
These directories should not contain:
- Thumbnail, preview or other images that we have created specifically for display within the web interface. These should be held in an /images/ directory within the relevant web directory itself. They should be seen as part of the web interface rather than a part of the archive.
- Oracle loading files (applicable for special collection databases and monument inventory databases).
The /previous/ directory should contain:
- Files that were part of the AIP, but have now been replaced by a new edition. Files should be stored in /previous/ under a subdirectory named by the old AIP identifier (arch- {collections number} - {edition number}). Underneath this directory, a logical directory structure must be used based on the directories that the files have been moved from – this will help us see where these files have originated from. See example 3 for further clarification on usage.
The /migration/ directory should contain:
- Files created by the ADS that were once part of the AIP but are now considered obsolete, having been replaced by newly migrated files in more up-to-date file formats. Files should be stored in /migration/ under a subdirectory named by the date that the files were replaced or moved. Underneath this date directory, a logical directory structure should be used based on the directories that the files have been moved from – this will help us see where these files have originated from. See example 4 for further clarification on usage.

Examples of ADS directory structure
The following examples are intended to illustrate a number of different archiving scenarios showing how we should manage and organise the data within our directory structure:
Example 1: a 'simple' one-off deposit
In this example, a database with documentation, associated images and project metadata were deposited on 2 cds and accessioned on the 30th April 2016.
- In an e-mail sent on 30th April 2016 the depositor clarified some queries about the database and gave permission to ignore one of the data tables that contained only test data so this e-mail has been stored in /admin/project_metadata/. Documentation for the collection as a whole is stored in the /admin/project_metadata/ directory as well and may include a completed ADS project metadata template
- Database tables have been saved as csv files under /preservation/csv/ and /dissemination/csv/. As CSV is both a preservation and dissemination format the files are stored in the /preservation/ folder and duplicated in /dissemination/.
- Likewise, the data dictionary and entity relationship diagram for the database are stored in the /documentation/ directory under /preservation/csv/. These documents, where relevant, should be in suitable formats for the preservation.
- Tif images have been stored for preservation purposes under /preservation/tif/ and batch converted to jpg images for dissemination (stored under /dissemination/jpg/)
Example 2: a run of journals (we receive new data on a yearly basis)
In this example, pdf files have been deposited for 3 volumes of a journal over the course of 3 years.
- 3 directories in /original/ store the 3 deposits of data
- Files are converted to preservation format and stored in /preservation/ under a file type directory followed by a volume number directory. Splitting files into separate volumes helps maintain order and structure
- PDF files are stored in /dissemination/pdf/vol_{no}/ for dissemination online
- The usual files are stored in /admin/.
Example 3: an update to a database (showing use of /previous/ directory)
In this example, a database (and documentation) has been deposited in 2015 and has been made available as a series of csv downloads. Subsequently in 2016, the final database containing updates and amendments was accessioned – this constituted a new edition of the archive
- 1st deposit: database is saved as csv files for preservation and dissemination and database documentation is stored in a /documentation/ directory under the /csv/ directory
- 2nd deposit: the new and complete version of the database is converted to csv and stored under /preservation/ and /dissemination/ with the original documentation (still applicable as the data structure has not changed).
- The whole AIP is renamed to reflect the fact that it is now the second edition.
- The old original, admin and preservation csv files (and the directory structure that they sit within) from the 2015 version are moved into the /previous/ directory, stored under the original AIP name (edition 1)
Example 4: what happens when we carry out a file migration
In this example a selection of archaeological reports were accessioned in 2001. They were submitted as Microsoft Word 2.0 files and we disseminated them in their original format and preserved them as Rich Text Format.
In 2011 we decided that we needed to migrate both the preservation and the dissemination files into newer formats. Here is how the resulting directory structure would look.
- Old doc and rtf versions of the files are moved into /migration/ (stored under the date that the files were moved, and with the directory structure that shows the purpose and origin of the files)
- New odt and pdf versions of the files are created for preservation and dissemination and stored under the relevant data directories
- Metadata in the CMS/OMS is updated to reflect the changes
Example 5: a single deposit of an HER database
In this example we have received a database from a Historic Environment Record (HER). They have signed a licence which is different to our standard deposit licence and have agreed that the data is for dissemination through ArchSearch alone. The ADS therefore have no commitment to preserve this data.
- Beyond preparing the data and loading into ArchSearch no action is needed
- Data files used to load the database tables into Oracle need not be stored here
- /preservation/ and /dissemination/ data directories are not necessary
- Metadata including GPMD must be created in the CMS and stored in /admin/ directory in the usual way
Appendix 1: Example file type directories under data directories
Underneath the /preservation/ and /dissemination/ directories should be a list of sub directories related to the file type/extensions. There are exceptions to this rule, for example geo-rectified tiff files are stored in /geotif/ directories to differentiate them from standard tiff. ADS Data Procedures outline the approach and directory structure to be used for each data-type. Some examples are given below
/dissemination/ directory:
- zip - for files such as shapefiles or geophysics that comprise numerous parts and are best disseminated zipped
- jpg
- csv
- xlsx
- png
- dwg
- dxf
/preservation/ directory:
- gml - gis files converted to GML
- tfw - image files with world files
- txt - only to be used for plain text files, not for delimited data
- pdf - archival pdf files
- tif - tif images
- mpeg or mpg - this should include any mpeg file versions. Can further subdivide data into /audio/ and /video/ directories within this folder
- docx
- dxf
- xlsx
- csv
- txt
- geotif
Appendix 2: Where to store files
The ADS currently has a split AIP, with preservation files being held in /ADS_preservation/ and dissemination files in /adsdata/.
In order to avoid a situation where we are duplicating things, follow these guidelines when constructing directories in these two separate areas:
/ADS_preservation/ should contain:
- The /admin/ folder and all of its contents
- The /original/ folder and all of its contents
- The /preservation/ folder and all of its contents
- The /previous/ folder (where it exists) and all of its contents
- The /migration/ folder (where it exists) and all of its contents
- The only situation where the /dissemination/ directory may appear here are where there are dissemination files which are not available for download on-line (because of delayed release or large file size for example)
/adsdata/ should contain:
- The /dissemination/ folder and all of its contents
If we need to combine the AIPs into a single directory structure it will be easy to do so if these guidelines have been followed.
As a general rule, avoid creating empty directories. If there is nothing in a directory then it does not need to exist.
Appendix 3: Requirements for Scanned Hardcopy Material
The licence form, hardcopy documentation and other supporting information must be scanned at, or above these minimum standards:
- Black and white documents, 200dpi 1 bit.
- Greyscale documents, 200dpi 8 bit.
- Colour documents, 200dpi 24bit RGB.
Scanned images must be saved as TIFF v6.0 (pref) or PDF/A. Image dimensions should be adjusted according to the size of the scanned paper (A4, legal etc.). Illegible images should be rescanned at a higher resolution and/or colour depth.
If scanned images are saved as TIFF, a separate file must be created for each page scanned rather than a single multi-page TIF file.
Appendix 4: Reserved File Names
A number of file names (such as licence.~tif~ are reserved for particular purposes. These file names must be used where appropriate.
Reserved file names can be modified. Modifications should be placed after the main name of the file, and separated from it by a dash.
A reserved file name should be modified to include sequential numbers if there is a need to save the information in multiple files. For example example, under /admin/, a three page hardcopy deposit licence scanned and saved as a series of TIF images could be named as follows: licence-1.tif, licence-2.tif, licence-3.tif.
A reserved file name may be further modified to include a date, in ISO 8601 format, if there is a need to distinguish between two versions of a file created on different dates that are both still current in some way (for example licence-2004-03-01.pdf) If both a date and a sequential number modifier are used, then files MUST be named as follows (using the example from above): licence-2004-03-01-1.tif, licence-2004-03-01-2.tif, licence-2004-03-01-3.tif.

DIY Penny Tiled Table
DIY Penny Tiled Table
Like any young college aged person, I have a fair amount of hand me down furniture. One of my hand me down pieces is a cherry wood coffee table. Its a nice quality/solid wood table, but the cherry stain didnt t look great with my deep pumpkin colored accent wall and the table was was a bit traditional for my taste. It also wasnt exactly in pristine shape after a few run-ins with a certain beagle. Rather than throw away a nice quality piece of furniture I decide to revamp it by painting it black, tiling it in pennies, and sealing the top with a clear resin. Here is how it went
My original inspiration for this project was an article I read about a hotel in NYC that used pennies as floor tiles. This got me thinking that it would look really awesome to tile a tabletop in pennies, and it would be a great way for me to update our scratched up coffee table. For the most part it turned out really well.
Here is a before shot of our table:
My first step for this furniture makeover was to sand the entire table to get rid of its sheen. This helps prevent the paint from chipping or peeling.
Next I painted it black (insert Rolling Stones lyrics here) using an angled paintbrush. The best way to get a smooth, even finish is by applying the paint using multiple thin, smooth coats. I did three coats.
Already it looks so much better and a lot more modern right? Well, this is just the beginning. To get the pennies I first gathered any loose change I had, but that was only about enough to cover 1/20th of the table. I ended up going to the bank to get LOTS of rolls of pennies. I laid them out on the table a little at a time (all heads up for good luck!) and then used super glue to get them to stay in place. Super glue is the perfect adhesive for this since it dries so quickly.
I found that the best way to lay them out was by laying them out in rings starting from the outside and working inward. Each time I would lay out one ring, make any necessary adjustments, glue them down, and then start on the next one. Very efficient.
This step took a decent amount of time (and about $10 in pennies) but eventually we were able to fill it all with pennies. When we first started this project my boyfriend and I estimated it would take between $3 and $4- were not great at estimating apparently.
Once the tiling is done its time to start thinking about resin. Now, ideally if you are doing this project you have a square or rectangular table. If so, you can build a small lip around the table top to keep the resin contained. Unfortunately our table is VERY irregularly shaped, so we had to use an alternate method. To do this we used tape and aluminum foil. First we covered the edges of the table in blue painters tape to protect the surface.
Next we cut long strips of aluminum foil (which will function as the lip of the table) and attached them to long strips of duct tape.
Then we taped the duct tape to the protected rim of the table, leaving the aluminum foil extending upward. Ideally the foil should end at the seam between the table top and the blue painters tape. You do not want the resin to touch the tape when it is poured.
The idea is that the foil will serve as a nonstick surface that can be peeled off once the resin dries. Eventually we got the foil taped all the way around the table.
Now- time to pour the resin. We used this brand which I would definitely NOT recommend. We ended up having major issues getting the resin to dry completely, and after reading reviews online I now know were not alone.
You have to follow the directions exactly (which we did) but even then there are no guarantees. The very center of our table never fully dried (and this project took place over a month ago). This is why I recommend using an alternate brand of resin. Anyhow, we poured the resin onto the table top and used a squeegee to smooth it out. We actually used a toothpick to pop any teeny tiny air bubbles. Shiny huh?
After the suggested drying time we removed the foil and tape. There were some areas where there was tape and/or foil stuck in the resin but it was pretty easy to fix using a box-cutter or X-acto knife. We sanded the edges of the table and touched up any messy spots with extra black paint.
By the time we were done it looked quite nice, very clean and shiny in spite of the slightly tacky center.
We ended up solving the sticky-situation by adding a strategically placed centerpiece- currently pine cones for the holidays. Now we have a one of a kind, handmade, and stylish coffee table to rest our feet on every day. It was also very cost effective since penny-round tiles cost significantly more than a penny per tile. Even though we ran into some minor issues along the way, were both very pleased with how it turned out. What do you think?

Wait not so bad this time for WMU's Alex Wolf
By Graham Couch | Kalamazoo Gazette
KALAMAZOO — Alex Wolf spent seasons waiting for a chance. So, he said Saturday, a few games on the bench is something he can handle. The Western Michigan University senior walk-on had fallen out of the rotation at shooting guard, playing a total of three minutes during the Broncos' last two games. In Saturday's 77-74 win over South Dakota State, Wolf was called upon for a bigger role. He scored five points in nine minutes.
"You've always got to stay on your toes, you've always got to be ready," the 6-footer from Parchment said. "I was sitting there waiting and ready for years, so just a few games, that's not too long for me." Wolf hit a 3-pointer just seconds after checking in, a pass back from Mikey Douglas, with Wolf wide open on the right side. "He found me wide open," Wolf said. "It does a lot for your confidence when you come in the game and right off the bat contribute." Confidence, or lack thereof, is one of the reasons for Wolf's reduced role — along with the play of Demetrius Ward and David Brown at his position. Wolf had made just 1-of-8 3-point attempts during his last four games.
"Where Alex ran into problems is he developed a little hitch in his shot," Broncos coach Steve Hawkins said. "Alex's worth to us is somebody who really understands our system and has the ability to knock down open shots. "It's not just the last two or three games, it had been in practice. There was just something off." Hawkins said Wolf's senior engineering class load has forced him to miss a ton of practice, though Wolf was able to correct the hitch this past week.
"I saw the ball drop, so I had more confidence putting him out there in that situation," Hawkins said. "And defensively, I felt like he was going to be in the right position, which I thought we needed more than anything else." QUOTING STEVE HAWKINS: "About 18, 19 minutes to go in the second half, we had a 19-point lead and I saw some of the people in the stands start to leave, and I thought, 'This is going to hurt our concessions right now and we can't have that.' So I told the guys to ease up a little bit, let these guys back into it, get them back in their seats, let's sell a few more hot dogs, some more soda, make Coke happy.' And they did a good job of that. They listened. This group listens well." SOPHOMORE WALK-ON DAN LONEY made his first non-garbage time appearance of the season, playing the final 2:21 of the first half while most of the other Broncos big men sat in foul trouble. Loney had two points, knocking down two free throws, and two rebounds in four minutes. "You know, it's a one-possession game," teammate Alex Wolf said. "Every little minute anybody gave us was huge. For Dan to step in there, get those two free throws, get a board, box out, play tough 'D' ... that's huge. He had no idea if he was going to play whatsoever and he jumped right in. He was ready to go."

I went shopping with my mother and sister, bought tons of clothes and then ordered some more (buying lots of dresses for vacation is a nice excuse, right?) I also received my order from RedBubble and I'm so enthusiastic about their stickers! Such good quality and I love their fast shipping.
Okay, this haul is much larger than I anticipated! I started to type 'in my defense' but discovered that I don't really have a good excuse, haha. I just wanted to get them and looking back on my previous hauls, I think it's time to put myself on hold the next months and only get my most anticipated books.
I bought the e-book from Scarlet Epstein hates it here from Anna Breslaw for the bookclub and let me just say it nicely, it was definitely not for me. I also found really cheap ebooks from Carry on by Rainbow Rowell, Am I normal yet? by Holly Bourne and the bundled version of his 12 fairy books by Andrew Lang. My ebook from Wanderlost by Jen Malone was a recommendation from Daisy and Debby, so I'm going to trust them.

Re: Rule 415 Offerings - Prospectus in Registration Statement After Effective Date
Dear Alan and Amy:
Attached is a draft of a combination of proposed Rule 412(d), Rule 430B and Rule 430C, together with concordances between the draft and SEC proposals. It seems to me that (1) all these provisions relate to Rule 415 offerings - what may be omitted, how it gets included and what supersedes what and (2) non-reporting and unseasoned issuers do not warrant a separate rule. In the draft I have dealt first with seasoned issuers (taking the provisions of Rule 415 in their order in Rule 415) and then with non-reporting and unseasoned issuers.

Vegetable Oils Can Be Heart Healthy
Vegetable Oils Can Be Heart Healthy
Scientists find that linoleic acid, the omega-6 essential fatty acid found in vegetable oils such as soy, corn and canola, may help to reduce blood cholesterol levels and lower the risk of heart disease. Some experts believe that too much dietary linoleic acid increases inflammation; however, researchers at the University of Missouri and the University of Illinois, after reviewing 15 clinical trials, �found that no link exists between vegetable oil consumption and circulating indicators of inflammation that are often associated with diseases such as heart disease, cancer, asthma and arthritis.�
According to research, Americans typically consume 3 or more tablespoons of vegetable oil each day. Keep in mind that all oils, including olive oil, have about 120 calories per tablespoon.
Commercial-Free TV (e.g., Netflix and Amazon�s video streaming) Could Reduce Junk Food Intake
Researchers at the University of Michigan interviewed more than 100 parents and preschool children to get an idea of what these children believed made up a healthy meal and how their thoughts related to their eating habits. The researchers found a strong link between a preschooler�s junk food consumption and watching commercial TV, because of the food advertising. According to researchers, �past research has linked child TV viewing to obesity in childhood, but not during the preschool years. It has also combined commercial TV with digitally-recorded TV, so there was no way to separate the two.� Do you want your preschoolers to eat healthier? Make sure that, if your kids do watch TV, it�s the �healthy� kind � without food commercials.
Does Sucralose (e.g., Splenda) Have a �Sugar� Effect?
Researchers from Washington University�s Center for Human Nutrition conducted a small study of severely obese individuals using sucralose who did not have diabetes. �The researchers gave subjects either water or sucralose to drink before they consumed a glucose challenge test. The glucose dosage is very similar to what a person might receive as part of a glucose-tolerance test. The researchers wanted to learn whether the combination of sucralose and glucose would affect insulin and blood sugar levels. Every participant was tested twice. Those who drank water followed by glucose in one visit drank sucralose followed by glucose in the next. In this way, each subject served as his or her own control group.�
The researchers found that when the study group drank the sucralose they had higher blood sugar than when drinking just water. According to researchers, �insulin levels also rose about 20 percent higher. So the artificial sweetener was related to an enhanced blood insulin and glucose response.�
Make Sure Your Child Does NOT Overeat During Infancy
Don�t encourage your baby to drink up that last sip of milk in the bottle; it could create overeating issues. After analyzing more than 8,000 families, researchers at Brigham Young University found that �babies predominantly fed formula were 2.5 times more likely to become obese toddlers than babies who were breastfed for the first six months.� Additionally, �putting babies to bed with a bottle increased the risk of childhood obesity by 36 percent. And introducing solid foods too soon � before 4 months of age � increased a child�s risk of obesity by 40 percent. The researchers believe that breastfeeding helps infants to determine when they are full and should stop eating.
Grill Carefully
Gas or charcoal grilling has been linked to chemicals that cause breast, stomach, prostate and colon cancer, according to the American Institute for Cancer Research (although the risk is low). High-heat grilling can convert proteins in red meat, pork, poultry and fish into chemicals called heterocyclic amines (HCAs) that have been shown to be carcinogenic. In addition, high temperatures can change the shape of the protein, thus irritating the body. The smoke may also cause cancer because of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) found in the smoke. �PAHs form when fat and juices from meat products drip on the heat source. As the smoke rises it can stick to the surface of the meat,� say health experts at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. This does NOT apply to veggies (good news)!
Nutritionists at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute have the following tips:
Prep the meat
- Choose lean cuts of meat, instead of high-fat varieties such as ribs and sausage.
- Trim all excess fat and remove skin.
- When using marinades � thinner is better. Thicker marinades have a tendency to �char,� possibly increasing exposure to carcinogenic compounds.
- Look for marinades that contain vinegar and/or lemon. They actually create a protective barrier around the meat.
Limit time � limit exposure
- Always thaw meat first. This also reduces the cooking time.
- Partially cook meat and fish in a microwave for 60 to 90 seconds on high before grilling and then discard the juices. This will lower cooking time and reduce risk of causing smoke flare-ups.
Grilling techniques
- Flip burgers often � once every minute for meat burgers � to help prevent burning or charring.
- Place food at least 6 inches from heat source.
- Create a barrier to prevent juices from spilling and producing harmful smoke. Try lining the grill with foil and poking holes, and cooking on cedar planks.
Plan ahead and choose wisely
- Lean meats create less dripping and less smoke.
- Choose smaller cuts of meat, like kabobs, as they take less time to cook.
- Try grilling your favorite vegetables. They do not contain the protein that forms harmful HCAs.
Subway Not As Healthy As You Might Think for Those 12-21 Years Old
Research appearing in the Journal of Adolescent Health found that study subjects between the ages of 12 and 21 who bought meals at Subway ate nearly as many calories as those who bought at McDonald�s. Participants bought meals containing an average of 1,038 calories at McDonald�s and an average of 955 calories at Subway. Sodium intake averaged 2,149 milligrams at Subway; 1,829 milligrams at McDonald�s. Adolescent lunches should not exceed 850 calories, according to the Institute of Medicine

No Photo Today
I am the only person I know who loves the movie Elizabethtown. I think it celebrates the simple quirkiness that is this life. If you've seen it, you'll remember how Kirstin Dunst's character occasionally holds an imaginary camera to her face and snaps an imaginary photo. There are times in my life I mentally do that. I say a little prayer that "please, oh please, help me remember just the way this moment looks and feels and sounds and smells." I want to put it in my pocket and bring it out later when the scene has changed and I can savor the memory of it. A few of those happened today and I wished I had my camera. Instead I found myself pushing the shutter button in my mind and saying a little prayer while Gemma's scooter crumpled the fallen leaves as she rode in the evening sunlight. And while Ever shoved her chubby fingers into a tiny raisin box in a dedicated effort to eat the last few raisins.
"above all, I craved to seize the whole essence, in the confines of one single photograph, of some situation that was in the process of unrolling itself before my eyes." -henri cartier-bresson

The Extra Large Mac Monitors
Yesterday we had an opportunity to see a full-Mac office setup. After the oohing and ahhing over Apple's 23 inch flat panel monitor — well after — I realized that this screen lets you see. It's about two feet wide, and a foot deep. The higher priced model is 30 inches wide (and $2999). It's amazing how much bigger these screens are.
What it means is that, say, Photoshop and Dreamweaver can be open side by side. Got a screen color picker that can pick from anything on the screen? No switching back and forth.
No, I'm hardly considering going all-Mac, nor dealing with the smaller amount of third party software available for the Mac; I'm just looking at the larger monitor screen. I understand that this monitor can be hooked up to a PC, in which case I'd have a few questions.
First, most people have CRT monitors, and flat panel screens seem to display a little brighter and richer than CRTs, so I think it's important to see what most people see rather than having to design by estimating color. Therefore, I'd need to know that a two-monitor system Windows could have both the Mac and a regular CRT monitors, and without either going bonkers. I'm suspecting that this is true.
It's also important to note that Windows systems display at 96dpi (yes, it's true; years ago, someone wrote that the Windows display was 72dpi and, I believe, that Mac was 96dpi, and that misinformation has stuck). Windows actually displays at 96dpi. If you're on a Windows PC, see Control Panel > Display > Settings > Advanced. If your system is set to display Small Fonts, it's at 96dpi as verified in that panel. Thus, I'm wondering what differences in display this would make on a Mac monitor hooked up to a Windows machine, though it may not matter with the dual-screen setup.
I hear that these Mac monitors are actually high density television screens. I'd wonder whether that meant I could watch television on it while designing. One wishes.
Well, back to work. Glad I wasn't looking at Ferraris yesterday. <grin>

Photoshop and Dreamweaver can be open side by side.
And I'm now licking the drool from my lips…does that make me a bonafide geek yet?
Oh, darlin', I think you passed the geek entry test a while ago, but maybe didn't notice it. <grin>
I've been drooling over those things since I first saw one up close in a friend's recording studio. It was a thing of beauty — you could see 48 tracks of audio knob goodness without scrolling! It was an awakening. Why have we tortured ourselves for so long with dinky screens?
I'm saving my pennies…
That's exactly where I saw it; well, there were two of them. The other (and this was a 25-inch screen) allowed … well, lots of stuff on the screen.
My computer network guru says all I need is a second video card so that I can *also* have my 19-inch CRT hooked up to the same machine. Sounds like heaven.
Have your say ...
