Last Call for Dino Challenge
by Al Myers
I'm going to make one last "plug" for the Dino Challenge, which is this coming Saturday. This is a meet you DO NOT want to miss! It is the FIRST EVER Oldtime Strongman Competition sanctioned by the USAWA. There is no entry deadline for this one – so at this point just SHOW UP and ENTER! Even if you don't feel prepared for it, enter and have a fun day lifting. You will be glad you did. This Oldtime Strongman Competition will be quite different than other strongman competitions. Modern strongman equipment and apparatuses will not be used – such as Atlas stones, steel logs, and steel yokes. Instead, each event is based on a strength feat of an Oldtime Strongman. Also, the rules of the USAWA will be followed in regards to scoring, which are much different than other strongman competitions. Each lifters total poundage will be adjusted for bodyweight and age. Another big difference is supportive gear is NOT ALLOWED, with the exception of belts and wrist wraps. This means no elbow or knee sleeves, no supportive shorts, and no knee or elbow wraps. Chalk may be used – but no tacky. This competition will be drug tested. The USAWA is a drug free organization and all Oldtime Strongman Competitions sanctioned by the USAWA will be tested (which is ALSO different from other strongman competitions). There is no entry fee to enter, but you must be a member of the USAWA. Membership dues are $25 and you may join on Saturday. I will have forms available.
This Oldtime Strongman Competition is gearing up to be one of the largest attended meets in recent history in the USAWA. Come and be part of it!

Evaluating SSD Manufacturers: Why NAND Medium Expertise Matters
IT pros across industries are still struggling to maintain a hold on the rising amount of data, users and handheld devices proliferating the IT landscape. One approach many shops have taken is that of solid-state drives (SSDs) rather than the traditional spinning hard disk drives (HDD). As true for all technologies, however, not every SSD is created equally, and this is evident in more than just performance.
This expert FAQ Guide gives you four questions to consider before making the SSD leap. Browse the answers to questions such as, "Why should I consider a manufacturer's NAND flash expertise?" and more by checking out this exclusive resource today.

An Encamporee Adventure!
Have you ever heard of an encamporee? They're a way for girls in troops to get to camp year-round! You might have heard about, or even have gone to one of our day camps or one of our summer camps, but our camp locations are actually used all year. Encamporees are organized by our wonderful volunteers, who are in charge of our Service Units. (Service Units, or SUs, are made up of many troops from a single area.) When a SU wants to organize an encamporee, they get all of the troops who want to go, and they decide on a one-day or one-weekend time that will work. Read more

Pothi.com is a founded by two IITians Abhaya Agarwal and Jaya Jha based in Bangalore India. It works in the field of Print on Demand for books and Self-Publishing. Pothi.com is owned and operated by Mudranik Technologies Pvt. Ltd. – a Bangalore based start-up founded in February 2008. It offers a print on demand backed publishing platform which can be used by individuals and organizations for publishing their books in print at little or no upfront investment. The platform includes various publishing tools, services and an online store to help sell the books.
Jaya Jha, an IIT Kanpur and IIM Lucknow graduate, was in a high-profile job with an search engine Google. Jha wanted to publish a book of poems. It was the time when she was looking to publish a book of her own Hindi poetry. She quickly figured that traditional publishing would demand too much effort and her aim was only to publish for people around her. So, she started looking for self publishing options and she did not come across any in India. The entrepreneurial bug was there in her since her days at IIT Kanpur. This seemed like the right thing to do for her, where passion and profession could meet. Jha discussed the idea with her IIT classmate Abhaya Agarwal, who was at the Carnegie Mellon University at that time doing his studies. He was onboard with it. Then they spent next several months trying to figure out the operational details and finally took the plunge. In 2008, they launched Pothi.com

The protein encoded by ELF5 is a member of an epithelium-specific subclass of the Ets transcritpion factor family. Additionally we are shipping ELF5 Antibodies (62) and ELF5 Kits (2) and many more products for this protein.
Showing 4 out of 5 products:
Conditional inactivation of Elf5 in the developing collecting ducts results in a small but significant reduction in the expression levels of Aqp2 and Avpr2 genes.
Mechanistically, RL negatively regulates Stat5 (show STAT5A Proteins) phosphorylation and Elf5 expression at the onset of lactogenesis. Continuous RL exposure leads to the expansion of basal and bipotent cells in WT and MMTV-RANK acini. Overall, we demonstrate that enhanced Rank signaling impairs secretory differentiation during pregnancy by inhibition of the prolactin (show PRL Proteins)/p-Stat5 (show STAT5A Proteins) pathway.
Elf5 at the center of a stoichiometry-sensitive transcriptional network, where it acts as a molecular switch governing the balance between TSC (show SLC12A3 Proteins) proliferation and differentiation
Elf5 and Ets2 (show ETS2 Proteins) maintain the mouse extraembryonic ectoderm in a dosage dependent synergistic manner
Elf5 counteracts precocious trophoblast differentiation by maintaining Sox2 (show SOX2 Proteins) and 3 and inhibiting Hand1 (show HAND1 Proteins) expression.
Blockade of RankL (show TNFSF11 Proteins) action prevented progesterone-induced side branching and the expansion of Elf5(+) mature luminal cells.
Elf5 inhibits the epithelial-mesenchymal transition in mammary gland development and breast cancer metastasis by transcriptionally repressing Snail2.
Studies suggest that Elf5 loss leads to hyperactivation of the Notch (show NOTCH1 Proteins) signaling pathway, which might constitute in part, the underlying molecular mechanism for the altered cell lineage decisions in Elf5-null mammary epithelial cells.
Elf5 promoter methylation is regulated during mammary differentiation in vivo.
identify novel transcriptional targets of Elf5 and show that Muc4 (show MUC4 Proteins) is a direct target of Elf5, further elucidating the mechanisms through which Elf5 regulates proliferation and differentiation in the mammary gland
When ELF5 was transfected into the parental MCF7 cells that lack CEACAM1 (show CEACAM1 Proteins), lumen formation was restored, indicating that ELF5 can replace CEACAM1 (show CEACAM1 Proteins) in this model system of lumenogenesis.
These results support the contention that ABO (show ABO Proteins) expression is dependent upon a downstream positive regulatory element functioning through a tissue-restricted transcription factor, Elf5, in epithelial cells.
Low ELF5 expression is associated with ovarian cancer.
The results of this study suggest that ELF5 is a candidate gene that confers genetic susceptibility for pediatric asthma in the Taiwanese population and SNP rs3910901 may have a minor impact on pediatric asthma in the Taiwanese population.
a novel EWSR1 (show EWSR1 Proteins)/ETS (show ETS1 Proteins) chimeric gene, was identified in a patient diagnosed with refractory AML (show RUNX1 Proteins), suggesting a potential role of leukemogenesis in rare cases of AML (show RUNX1 Proteins). This fusion gene is very likely to exhibit oncogenic potential by interfering with the p53 (show TP53 Proteins)/p21 (show CDKN1A Proteins)-dependent pathway.
Alternative promoter use, conferring differential regulatory responses, is the main mechanism governing ELF5 action rather than differential transcriptional activity of the isoforms.
Data (including data from studies in transgenic mice) suggest that expression of ELF5 in luminal breast cancer correlates with increased myeloid cell invasion, inflammation, and lung metastasis.
we identified Elf5 as a novel biomarker of urothelial cancer on several biological levels and established a causative link between Elf5 and epithelial-mesenchymal transition in urothelial cancer.
Elf5 expression is inversely correlated with epithelial-mesenchymal transition in prostate cancer.
ELF5 provides a key transcriptional determinant of breast cancer molecular subtype by suppression of estrogen sensitivity in luminal breast cancer cells.
Elf5 regulation in the trophectoderm
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of an epithelium-specific subclass of the Ets transcritpion factor family. In addition to its role in regulating the later stages of terminal differentiation of keratinocytes, it appears to regulate a number of epithelium-specific genes found in tissues containing glandular epithelium such as salivary gland and prostate. It has very low affinity to DNA due to its negative regulatory domain at the amino terminus. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene.
E74-like factor 5 (ets domain transcription factor)
, ETS-related transcription factor Elf-5
, Epithelium specific Ets-2
, epithelium-restricted ESE-1-related Ets factor
, epithelium-specific Ets transcription factor 2
, E74-like factor 5 ESE-2a

Robin Miller joined the cast of "General Hospital" as Lydia Karenin in July of 2003.
Growing up in rural Ohio as the oldest of three girls, J. Robin is the only sister with the acting bug. J. Robin knew from the young age of 5 that she wanted to be an actress. She would take fairy tales and adapt them into plays and recruit the neighborhood kids to star in them. At the age of nine, she took her first acting class. As she approached high school graduation, J. Robin began to consider the practicality of pursuing an acting career, and began Ohio University as a broadcast journalism major. Ironically, it was her mother who encouraged her to follow her dream of becoming an actor, and J. Robin soon switched majors and graduated with a degree in film and television production with a minor in theatre. While in college, J. Robin came to Los Angeles where she did production internships and studied acting at The Groundlings and at UCLA. Upon graduating in 1995, J. Robin made the move to Los Angeles to pursue a professional acting career. Her first professional acting job came in 1996, in a guest-starring role on the hit ABC television series "Roseanne."
Several guest-starring roles followed, which include "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," "That 70s Show," "Charmed," "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Just Shoot Me," to name a few. She also had a recurring role on "Beverly Hills, 90210."
When she is not working, J. Robin can be found teaching young children at the acting school she founded, inventing new allergy-free recipes, watching sports with friends or hiking on local mountains with her dog.

Alpaca Textured Infinity Scarf How To
It's been ages since I've posted any crochet which makes me a bit sad. I focus so much of this blog on my cards because that's why most people end up here but I do spend a fair bit of time sitting with a pile of yarn and a some variety of crochet project on the nights I'm not shivering in the basement studio working with paper. Since I posted my last crochet project I've finished up a blanket and a scarf and started another blanket. Today I'm going to show off the scarf project and save the blanket for another day very soon.
Now on to this scarf. I have been struggling with scarf patterns and yarn selections lately because I seem to fall in love with a yarn only to find out that it's not the right texture or doesn't work up to have the right drape or even worse it's itchy when I put the scarf on. And then there is the pattern – I don't do well with loose and open stitch patterns – they just don't flow for me and end up being a great deal of work. 🙁 With all this scarf turmoil I decided I would try my hand at winging a pattern and just making it up as I went along. This was the result.
Super huge thanks to my colleague, Brooke, for modeling the scarf, that is now hers, for the pictures. 🙂
For this scarf I used Deborah Norville Alpaca Dance yarn in Wood Nymph. This is the first full project I have finished with an alpaca yarn. The other project I tried was with a different brand and the shedding was so terrible that I just could not finish it. The Alpaca Dance yarn did shed some when I was working with it – mostly when winding balls of yarn or any time I had to frog a stitch or two but overall it really didn't shed that much. This yarn is labeled a Worsted Weight number 4 yarn. In truth it's really more of a DK weight but the furry nature of it makes it the worked up fabric puff a bit. I used a size J/10 6.0 mm needle with this yarn to ensure that it had a nice loose drape. If you crochet fairly loosely you may want to work with a tad bit smaller hook.
I made the scarf pretty wide as I wanted it to resemble a fluffy fabric scarf so it almost resembles a shawl and could be worn as one. The pattern could easily be altered for a more narrow scarf.
Textured Infinity Scarf How To:
(Written in US crochet terms.)
2 Skeins Alpaca Dance yarn in desired color. Size J crochet hook. Tapestry needle for sewing ends together and weaving in ends.
Chain 64. (An odd number of chains plus 3 for turning.)
Row 1: DC in the fourth chain from the hook and in each chain across. (61 DC total). Turn.
Row 2: Chain 3. DC in the last DC from the previous row and in each DC across. (61 DC total). Turn
Row 3 & 4: Repeat Row 2.
Row 5: Chain 3. DC in the last DC from the previous row. *Chain one. Skip one DC. DC in next stitch. * Repeat from * to * across row ending with a DC in the last stitch. Turn.
Row 6: Chain 3. DC in the last DC from the previous row. *One DC around the chain space. One DC in the next stitch. * Repeat from * to * across ending in the last stitch. 61 DC total.
Row 7 through 10: Repeat rows 2 through 5.
Continue repeating rows 6 through 10 until scarf is desired length. (I worked until I ran out of yarn.) Knot finished end. Leave an extra long tail to sew ends together or finish off as is and wear as a shawl/regular scarf.
To assemble as infinity scarf lay scarf out flat and twist fabric one time in the middle. Line up the two ends and use tail to sew the ends together with an invisible stitch. Weave in tails and trim. Enjoy!
So this is the very first attempt I've made at writing up my crochet so let me know if you catch any errors. I know it's a simple one but I really like how it turned out!!

Lately I've been using that little post office at the intersection of 4th and RI and Florida avenues NW to drop off my mail as I just can't be bothered to drive or bus down to the Post Office at Union Station and, well, I just don't trust the mail boxes on the streets. I expect they are safer now but I do remember learning that the kids would dump their soft drinks in them or light fire crackers and post them in the mail boxes. And when I send mail I really do want it to get to the destination intended. After all, it's quite a bit of trouble to do real snail mail (it's amazing that email has become the baseline, isn't it?) What I do like about this post office is that it has a parking lot so I can just drive in, drop the mail, and drive on to the library or whatever from out the other side of the lot. Very convenient. I did read some Yelp reviews where there was criticism about how it sometimes opens late or the staffer on duty takes a long lunch hour and it closes at 5pm and isn't open on the weekends. Also, some reviews about how the staffer isn't always so friendly or as helpful as the user would like. But really, does everything have to be open 24 hours, 7 days a week, every day? Can't some people just have a bad day at work and not be particularly helplful? It really feels more like a neighborhood post office with these kind of attributes, don't you think?
Welcome to my blog!
I used to blog here mostly using local photos about my neighborhood or Washington DC or other places I visited. But I took a break from the blog for a few months and then found myself posting about crafts and sewing projects I have done or are doing. These involve fabric recycling or re-use and refashioning of clothes, or other frugalities. I've left up the previous blogs and may occasionally revert to those topics again. May your days be blessed with miracles, surprises and creativity too!

Author has written 4 stories for Naruto, and Gokusen.
2/10/11: So I said sometime last year that I was writing a new Naruto fanfic. I had a really hard time writing the first chapter, and an even harder time writing the second chapter. I have the whole story mapped out in my head but I just can't get myself to write it, and I am currently working on other stories in my free time so it's not writers block. I don't believe in writers block anyway. And with that Naruto fic, I do plan on actually working on it, but as a DBSK one. Besides, my writing has really improved since writing the fics on here.
In short, after writing Naruto fanfics for about 7 years I guess my muse is gone. I have no more desire to write Naruto fanfics. I don't even read them anymore unless they're written by my friends. I read J-Rock and K-pop fics now, all on live journal, and I write a little K-pop fics myself. Mostly short little drabbles, even though most of the stories I write now are original stories.
So I'm abandoning this account. I know I didn't write a lot, but to those who stumble on this page and read my stuff and like it, thank you~ It means a lot. I'm sure no one is even going to miss me though, haha.
I'll be changing my email to the email that I never check, so if I have any alerts, I won't know about them. I'll probably eventually come back and delete the account, too.

I saw my neurologist yesterday for the results of my spinal MRI. Not only do I have a lesion on my spinal cord (damn!) it is a very looong lesion...from C2 to C6. My first reaction was: damn...I have a lesion, my second reaction was oh, well, at least its only one?! Ignorance is bliss, isn't it? Because apparently the doctor suspects I may have a sub type of MS OR an entirely different disease (depending on which researcher you talk to)???? What the hell???? So, she starts talking about NMO (neuromyelitis optica) and how she wants me to have a blood test to determine if I have it.
Let me just say, I had never heard of NMO until that moment, and the way she was describing it (in a clinical kind of way) made me think it wasn't so bad. She was talking about how the treatment is different for NMO than MS (NMO doesn't respond well to the disease modifying drugs) and I was thinking 'well, at least there is a treatment'.
I should have realized there was more to this NMO when the clinic nurse asks if I want to come talk in her office. I didn't even know she HAD an office?? Still clueless, Brad and I sit down in her office where she basically tells us that NMO can be more serious than MS...more frequent relapses, more severe, less chance of full remission, 'ya, da, ya, da, ya, da'. Okay...still relatively clueless, because I'm thinking...sounds a lot like MS and I have NEVER recovered fully from a relapse anyways (hmm...that may have been a clue)...always have had residual effects, so this NMO doesn't sound that different.
So, we leave the clinic to go to the lab for the blood work and then go on our way. When we get home, I decide to look up NMO...this is where the saying 'ignorance is bliss' really has meaning. And where my stress begins and I start to freak out...a bit...
The part that is freaking me out is this, which I have read in several abstracts: "In general, attacks of NMO tend to be more frequent and severe than they are in MS. The major risk to patients is severe damage to the upper spinal cord, which can lead to inability to breathe on one's own. This may be fatal. ...what the f&*^!?!?!
I apologize for the language, but I am NOT a happy camper! MS was bad enough...but at least you didn't die from it! All I'm hoping for now, is that the blood test comes back negative and that I don't have NMO.
And if I do? ... well, I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.

From Wikifudia
- Title: Untitled (etch-a-sketch)
- Artist: laura aura and the shoy shoy boy
- Release Date: December 9, 2000
- Length:
- Label:
- Recorded at:
- Producer:
The concept art of this album preceded the actual music. The idea was to create all the artwork with etch-a-sketch software so that it looked blank, yet interesting. The idea was devised by myself (Davidt) using a variety of Photoshop techniques. A lot of this album was just messing with my flailing Yamaha PSS-780 Keyboard and trying to get what little melody it had left in it. Some of the tracks are cut through Sound-Edit, but I hate desktop music making, I'd rather have hands on, than cursor on. Laura was studying in Edinburgh and I wrote the album on my own. 'Moses' on the album features a bassline by Clinton Beattie (Secret Hidden Diver, Astromech).

Raj chucks vital clue to Aug 11 riots
The MNS leader whipped out a passport claiming it belonged to a Bangladeshi and threw it; crucial document that could have helped investigations is now nowhere to be found
Defying the police, MNS chief Raj Thackeray addressed his thousands of supporters at Azad Maidan yesterday. Speaking in his aggressive style, Thackeray whipped out a green coloured passport during his speech.
Claiming it belonged to a Bangladeshi national, Thackeray said that the passport was found at Azad Maidan after the August 11 riots. However, what is police evidence is now nowhere to be found after the leader threw the passport on the ground leading to an important clue to be lost in a sea of followers.
Holding Bangladeshi immigrants responsible for the violence, Raj whipped out the document and said, "This passport was found at Azad Maidan after the August 11 riots and belongs to a Bangladeshi. It has only one stamp for this country and after that the passport is blank. This is because they come to stay here and never leave."
Immediately, after uttering the words, a disgusted Thackeray threw the document at the crowd after which it has not been found.
When MiD DAY contacted the MNS to enquire about the party having crucial evidence and the authenticity of the passport, Mangesh Sangle, a MLA, said, "I was given the passport by one of our workers today and then handed it over to Rajsaheb. The strange thing about the document was that there was a single entry in the document and the visa and passport had expired in 2011."
However, when asked about the whereabouts of the document, Sangle was clueless. "After Rajsaheb threw the document, I have no idea where it is. But, we will see to it that the document is handed over to the police."
According to a MNS party worker, the passport was registered to a Mohammed Makkadas Ali and was issued in April 2010 with the number being C1708002. Additionally, the visa was issued in September 2011.
In the wrong hands
When asked what Thackeray should have done with the passport, Former IPS officer and Advocate Y P Singh said that instead of throwing it to the ground, he should have handed it over to the police.
"This particular passport is crucial for investigations, as it would help in finding the people involved in the riots. The passport is a part of evidence. He should have given it to the police so that further investigations could have been carried out."
DCP Nisar Tamboli, the spokesperson for the Mumbai police, said, "How can the Mumbai police comment on a document that was not shown to us? One should ask the person who showed that document (passport). We didn't find any such document at Azad Maidan that day."

text: "I am the author of the project PxLinux, the (very modest) Linux port of Pxscan software (by Alexander Noe). As a PX716A buyer and Linux user, I wanted to get the same features than Windows users. After all, I payed exactly the same price ! Pxlinux allowed users to perform Q-checks under Linux. SCSI commands were sent to the drive and then the drive response was collected. Gnuplot was then used to display the results of PIF/PISUM/TA checks. Today I have received a letter from a lawyer company based in Brussels, on behalf of Shinano Kenshi, the Japanese company that develops Plextools and Plextools Pro. They ask me to remove the project from the different locations. In their letter, they accuse me (and Alexander, who received another letter), of harming "their good name and fame" and of "unfair commercial practices". In no way I tried to harm them : not only my project was not commercial, but also I wanted on the contrary make Plextor drives more attractive to Linux users, by giving them features that were only available to Windows users. On the legal level, interoperability is perfectly fair and legal. On the commercial level, the winner was Plextor, because on various Linux sites, I used to advertise their features and the fact these features were available to all, increasing the number of potential customers, who take care to buy hardware that is compatible with their OS. You can imagine I am utterly disgusted. I have a lot of work (that's why the project was quite stalled these times, but had some success according to the downloads and feedback I got), and I don't think I have the will and the time to fight back. As usual, it is easier for big companies to threaten isolated people, even if they are in their good will and rights. I am very sorry for the people who had interests in this project, or wanted to help me to develop the program further. Kind regards to everyone who was interested by the project, Zeb" Read more here.

I'm a longtime fan of Common Craft, the people who, in my opinion, put explanation videos on the map. Nobody explains concepts better than Lee and Sachi Lefever and now they've come out with a book to teach all of us how to be better explainers – The Art of Explanation.
I'm going through me eBook copy now. It's a must have for any of us who make a living creating visual explanations. But more than that, I think it's a valuable resource to anyone who explains things to people. And let's face it, all of us do that, probably more than we realize.

01 Toccata and Fugue in D Minor This is the long overdue eulogy for my husband Alan H. Weigand, MD. A copy will go to Grove city College, Jefferson Medical College, Temple University Law School, UMDNJ, and all our friends on Facebook. The psychiatric panacea of denial lasts a few months but eventually the pounding of reality must be recognized. Alan died on June 26th, 2013 after a long illness. He was born in Sacramento, California on February 16th 1934 to Kathryn Edmiston and Harvey Weigand.
He is survived by his wife, Tina, the writer of this Eulogy, two daughters, Kathryn and Angela, who he affectionately named Princess 1 and Princess 2, his 2 sons-in-Law, Jeffrey Seltmann and Neill O'Reilly, his 4 grandchildren, Emily Seltmann and Reagan, Aine and Niall O'Reilly, his sister Sharon Powell and her husband Gerry, and his nieces Laura and Tami.
These two pictures were on his desk for at least 25 years.
Angela went on to play the Harp.Some of his most joyous
moments came after hauling her harp to her performances
and listening to her play.
Kathryn joined in on occasion but, like her mother,
if it doesn't come instantly find something that will!.
As a child Alan moved frequently since his father was involved in building the St Lawrence Seaway and similar projects around the United States.
Despite the constant upheavals he was consistently voted, " the most likely to succeed".
Graduation from Grove City College led to his career in Medicine. Because of his outstanding accomplishments in Organic Chemistry, he was awarded the honor of Cum Laude and invited to 4 medical Colleges, no application necessary.
He chose Jefferson Medical College and graduated in 1958.
Always in pursuit of more knowledge he picked the specialty of Legal Medicine and started Law School at Temple University.
It wasn't until his children were born that he decided to return to Medicine to take a residency in Rehabilitation Medicine at Albert Einstein in NY City so he could be home by 4:30 to spend more time with his family.
He and his wife shared a successful private practice in Ho-Ho-Kus , and Ridgewood, NJ.
He was quickly promoted to Head of the Department at UMDNJ , the medical school in New Jersey, and was nationally recognized as the "Best Electromyographer on the East Coast".
He was very comfortable with needles and numerous wires.
His children called him "Wires Weigand"
He found his medical niche as Professor of Rehabilitation Medicine. He trained the young doctor residents to detect neuro-muscular diseases and institute possible therapies .
His patients in the Spinal Service and the Wounded Warriors thrived under his care.
Despite unspeakable tragedies and deformities his genuine love for all of them, his clever wit, gave them the strength to overcome their difficulties and stick to their rehabilitation exercises with great enthusiasm.
Rather than crumble under the devastating effects of wars and accidents his patients came alive with his sense of humor, and humility.
His love for his patients made him very popular helping thousands of patients.
His legacy came with his nephew, Tom Valenti. Although he was very fond of his brother Nick and sister MaryAngela Valenti, Tom went on to fill his Uncle's Rx . He created The Ortho Remedy with his wife Maureen.
Today his children are carrying on this great tradition.
Tom claims my father, Grandpa Nick, was his other inspiration. Grandpa saw that Tom was very successful and entrepreneurial at a very young age. He created his own business while working on cars on the week-ends and after school.
Grandpa was very proud of him but did not like getting his hands dirty.
That's when he asked Alan to direct him to the right school and the rest is history.
Alan was Tom's inspiration to specialize in Prosthetics and Orthotics and today he enjoys one of the most successful practices in the US, located in Cliffside Park, New Jersey .
Tom says" what I admired about Uncle Al was his honesty and his sense of humor.
It's that sense of humor that helps these patients start to heal!"
Tom adopted that same style of humor lifting the spirits of some very tragic cases …a true humanitarian like his uncle.
Tom…..He was so proud of you and he's still gloating!
His dog Pinot Grigio. the canine tenor, was his musical partner.
Whenever Alan played he would accompany him loudly and proudly.
Pinot was an IG or Italian Greyhound.
He preferred the Italian Opera to Bach but never missed an opportunity to show off.
Alan felt his greatest contribution to the world were his two daughters. He was completely involved with their lives.
During his long illness just the sound of their voices gave him extra time.
A very proud day when he danced with Angela at her wedding. He was very fond of Neill when he invited us to lunch and announced that he wanted our daughter's hand in marriage. Parents still love that old-fashioned touch.
He was disappointed when he was unable to dance with Kathryn at her wedding and was comforted with his picture with Emily while reading an Italian book.
Alan, "The Renaissance Man "continually amazed all of us with his genius. He spoke several languages including the Sicilian dialect so he wouldn't miss anything.
He loved Italy, particularly Sicily,a climate which was reminiscent of his growing up in California.
Italy provided his insatiable quest for the Arts, Music and Architecture. His appreciation of Italian culture extended all the way from Federico Fellini to The Godfather on TV.
He resisted the move to Florida for many years. Once there he didn't want to go up anymore.
And "Pinot would freeze up North"!
He was an accomplished musician. He wrote music, played the piano the violin and the accordion.
His love was the Hammond Organ. Watching his 6 ft 1 presence tapping the foot pedals was quite a site. He filled our home with Bach's Fugues, roller rink specials, Neapolitan sing-a longs, as well as every Sesame Street tune which the children enjoyed immensely.
Christmas carols were something else. He started around October and went well into the next year.
After work and on the week-ends the girls and their friends would assemble
in that huge music room overlooking the lake in HoHoKus. (Click on the picture and enjoy old memories)
He supplied each of them and their friends with an instrument, or noise maker, and they danced and sang and filled our home with great happiness as he played their favorite tunes.
I know Alan is forever embedded in their memories with the many performances and happy times he created at our house in HoHoKus, NJ.
Alan's death has been a life-changing loss. His Energy lives on in that mysterious
"Al Di La"…
I know him very well. I'm confident that he is spending his time with Beethoven, Bach, Irving Berlin and smiling patiently at us as we try to figure it all out.

Inside the Huge Solar Farm That Powers the iCloud
Monday, Jul 28 2014
The skies are threatening to pour on the Apple solar farm but as the woman in charge of the company's environmental initiatives points out: the panels are still putting out some power. Apple is still greening its act.
The company, which once drew fire from campaigners for working conditions in China and heavy reliance on fossil fuels, is now leading other technology companies in controlling its own power supply and expanding its use of renewable energy.
After converting all of its data centers to clean energy, the Guardian understands Apple is poised to use solar power to manufacture sapphire screens for the iPhone 6, at a factory in Arizona.
And in a departure for its reputation for secretiveness, Apple is going out of its way to get credit for its green efforts.

Women's panties have evolved a ton over the years. The problem with getting really cute pairs of panties is that come that wonderful time of the month, even our most favorite pair can get ruined. Miki Agrawal is mixing up women's fashion and technology to make our periods a little less uncomfortable.
In an age when women have made enormous strides in everything from workplace and academic equality, comfort in demanding what we want in bed and access to birth control and abortions – we still squirm when talking about menstruation.
"Women in our culture don't want to talk about their periods — most still think about it as crass and disgusting ," says Agrawal, CEO and co-founder of THINX, maker of women's underwear that doubles as feminine pads. "I want to change the culture around women's most normal time of month — and not while wearing grandma panties or pads that feel like a diaper."
In the Western world, squeamishness around menstruation means the average woman spends thousands over her lifetime on tampons with landfill-packing plastic applicators, and pads that any women will tell you are uncomfortable and unreliable. Both tend to leak. In much of the developing world, extreme taboo around women and girls' monthly bleed mean they fall behind at school or are limited in their ability to work at paying jobs.
The United Nations reports that just 43 percent of girls in developing nations attend secondary school — in large part because of poor access to feminine hygiene products that could make it easier for them to attend school during their so-called "week of shame."
"That is not OK," says Agrawal.
The panties currently come in three pretty, lace-trimmed designs (including a thong), each of which are outfitted with patented antimicrobial, leak-resistant fibers in the crotch that promise to absorb as much menstrual blood as up to two tampons or a pad — without the wearer feeling it — and promise to leave the wearer feeling dry.
While I appreciate the intention behind this, I am not quite sure I would be comfortable in trusting just these panties! I mean, the idea of sitting in, well, your menses, doesn't sound comfortable or sanitary at all!
What do you think? Nasty or greatest thing ever invented?

Kalinic Speaks...
Nikola Kalinic is really looking forward to playing for Blackburn Rovers, but he has held his hands up and admitted he will need time to adapt to English game.
Croatia striker Kalinic is due to complete his Rovers move now he has secured his work permit.
Kalinic told Slobodna Dalmacija - 'I didn't play for two months and I need some time to get in good shape,'
'English football is much tougher than Croatian and it is not easy to adapt to this, but I'm getting better and better every day.'
Nikola has also stated he faces a fight to get in the Rovers team but will be brave and fight for his spot.
He also seems to have struck up an immediate friendship with Rovers loan boy Franco Di Santo.
Nikola continued - 'Everybody in Blackburn greeted me with a warm welcome, but the player with whom I spend most of my time is Franco Di Santo.
'We are both newcomers in this club and it is logical that we are very close.
'We both know that Blackburn has many great players, so it won't be easy to get in the team, but we both have time.
'Time is certainly on my side. I am not scared of anybody, I just have to get in my best shape and then I will be ready to fight with everybody.'

ARE RITALIN AND ADDERALL CRIME FIGHTERS…?November 24th, 2012
From The Associated Press:
Older teens and adults with attention deficit disorder are much less likely to commit a crime while on ADHD medication, a provocative study from Sweden found.
It also showed in dramatic fashion how much more prone people with ADHD are to break the law – four to seven times more likely than others.
The findings suggest that Ritalin, Adderall and other drugs that curb hyperactivity and boost attention remain important beyond the school-age years and that wider use of these medications in older patients might help curb crime.

Austin track brings in amphitheater sponsors
Circuit of the Americas has signed two adult beverage companies and a grocery as founding partners for an amphitheater tied to the Formula One racetrack in Austin.
Anheuser-Busch and two regional brands, Tito's Handmade Vodka and H-E-B supermarkets, have all signed multiyear deals with naming rights to destinations at the Austin360 Amphitheater, an outdoor music venue opening Friday with a Kenny Chesney concert.
|The amphitheater was used for shows during last year's F1 race while it was still being built.
The three sponsorships center on the amphitheater itself, but also extend to the track with signs set along the road course in addition to print advertising and website inventory, among other assets, said Ben Cahalane, chief sales officer for Circuit of the Americas.
The amphitheater has 6,700 fixed seats and a general admission lawn area with total seating for 14,000 people. The venue sits inside Turns 16 through 18, behind the grand plaza near the front entrance.
Tito's agreement with the track is a three-year deal, confirmed Nicole Portwood, brand manager for the 18-year-old Austin hard liquor distillery. The vodka maker will set up portable branded bars to the left of the amphitheater stage, in an area to be called Tito's Handmade Vodka Porch, that can be taken apart and moved to other track locations.
For Tito's, the amphitheater deal marks its most extensive partnership at a sports and entertainment facility, Portwood said.
Driving the deal was the importance for Tito's to invest in things that improve quality of life in Austin, she said. The deal also exposes the Tito's brand to a new audience of international patrons attending the annual F1 race in the fall and other motorsports at Circuit of the Americas.
In February, Tito's signed a deal with AEG to supply its products at Staples Center, Citizens Business Bank Arena and Valley View Casino Center, three arenas in Southern California. Tito's vodka is available in all 50 states, with Texas, New York and California its top three markets.
"Our blueprint is to partner with festivals and major venues to reach as many people as possible," Portwood said. "We will be spending additional dollars with COTA for ticket giveaways for the [April 19-21] MotoGP event."
H-E-B, based in San Antonio, receives naming rights for the H-E-B Lawn, the general admission area on a grass berm behind the fixed seats.
As part of its activation, the grocery will brand a VIP section with reserved seats installed on an elevated platform, Cahalane said. The seats will be distributed through seasonlong ticket promotions at H-E-B stores, he said.
Anheuser-Busch's Bud Light brand will be showcased on a beer bar set up in the lawn space.
As of last week, track officials were still working on a fourth founding partner tied to a VIP club at the amphitheater. The deal was not signed yet. The amphitheater is managed in a partnership with Live Nation and local promoter C3 Presents. To date, the venue has booked 12 concerts.

What better way to enjoy winter than with some vintage vehicular fun!
Ok there's probably a number of better ways, but today was a rare treat when my friend Bill brought up his rare Cox Ski-Doo .049 powered snow mobile up for a few laps around the driveway.
The story behind the Cox Ski-Doo is an interesting one. Back in 1973, Cox had made a deal with the Bombardier company. Bombardier made the full size version of the Ski-Doo. The deal between Cox and Bombardier would have Bombardier purchase a larger number of the Cox Ski-Doos to give away as promotional items to anyone who bought a full-size Ski-Doo. Unfortunately for Cox, the deal fell through. Cox made the mini Ski-Doo anyway, but it didn't sell very well. Consequently, the Cox Ski-Doo is a rare find today.
Under the hood is the venerable Cox .049 powerplant. Extra large cooling head and a cooling fan molded into the clutch bell help keep the engine within operating temperatures while hidden under the snowmobile body work. This vehicle also has the pull start.
Forward propulsion is provided by the cleated drive belt, just like the real thing. Steering was possible by turing the skis left or right, allowing the snowmobile to run in easily chase-able circles.
These are some action shots I fired off while the snowmobile ran circles around my driveway:
Check out the video from today:

What a treat to actually see a Cox snowmobile runnung! Really takes me back in time. What would one of these be worth (In good condition)?
I had a couple of these and had them running well, untill I closed the hood. I had a yellow one first and the hood problem came up, called COX etc. returned it for a silver one, same thing. I wish I would have found a way to make it run with the hood down, like drilled another hole or something, Probobly would have had it today.
I did have a jeep first and got that running after brake in then it ran for years, I found a pair of the sand blaster slicks and they fit on the axles, that was fun.
Thanks for the memories, Jon
I see the slicks are on the trike, they said sand blaster on the ones I had and they caused the jeep to go much faster (body broke so didnt have that on when running), it would go across the lawn with the extra ground clearance and do wheelies when it came to a stiffer patch of grass, very agressive free wheeling experience, the crankshaft finally broke (after years) and I rebuilt it with a new crank, reed, jug and piston, then ran some more.
Are you willing to sell the cox snowmobile, willing to pay any amount.
Your best bet is to scour ebay. They come up fairly regularly. Good luck!
I have a silver bullet I would sell.
I am interested in your Cox Snowmobile. What is the price for this item.
I just picked up a mint cox snowmobile..Trying to find the glow plug kit to start it.

Posted by Cassandra Wolff in Development, Tips and Tricks
You want to secure your web application, but you don't know where to start. A number of open-source resources and modules exist, but that variety is more intimidating than it is liberating. If you're going to take the time to implement application security, you don't want to put your eggs in the wrong basket, so you wind up suffering from analysis paralysis as you compare all of the options. You want a powerful, flexible security solution that isn't overly complex, so to save you the headache of making the decision, I'll make it for you: Start with mod_security and OWASP.
ModSecurity (mod_security) is an open-source Apache module that acts as a web application firewall. It is used to help protect your server (and websites) from several methods of attack, most common being brute force. You can think of mod_security as an invisible layer that separates users and the content on your server, quietly monitoring HTTP traffic and other interactions. It's easy to understand and simple to implement.
The challenge is that without some advanced configuration, mod_security isn't very functional, and that advanced configuration can get complex pretty quickly. You need to determine and set additional rules so that mod_security knows how to respond when approached with a potential threat. That's where Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) comes in. You can think of the OWASP as an enhanced core ruleset that the mod_security module will follow to prevent attacks on your server.
The process of getting started with mod_security and OWASP might seem like a lot of work, but it's actually quite simple. Let's look at the installation and configuration process in a CentOS environment. First, we want to install the dependencies that mod_security needs:
## Install the GCC compiler and mod_security dependencies ## $ sudo yum install gcc make $ sudo yum install libxml2 libxml2-devel httpd-devel pcre-devel curl-devel
Now that we have the dependencies in place, let's install mod_security. Unfortunately, there is no yum for mod_security because it is not a maintained package, so you'll have to install it directly from the source:
## Get mod_security from its source ## $ cd /usr/src $ git clone https://github.com/SpiderLabs/ModSecurity.git
Now that we have mod_security on our server, we'll install it:
## Install mod_security ## $ cd ModSecurity $ ./configure $ make install
And we'll copy over the default mod_security configuration file into the necessary Apache directory:
## Copy configuration file ## $ cp modsecurity.conf-recommended /etc/httpd/conf.d/modsecurity.conf
We've got mod_security installed now, so we need to tell Apache about it ... It's no use having mod_security installed if our server doesn't know it's supposed to be using it:
## Apache configuration for mod_security ## $ vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
We'll need to load our Apache config file to include our dependencies (BEFORE the mod_security module) and the mod_security file module itself:
## Load dependencies ## LoadFile /usr/lib/libxml2.so LoadFile /usr/lib/liblua5.1.so ## Load mod_security ## LoadModule security2_module modules/mod_security2.so
We'll save our configuration changes and restart Apache:
## Restart Apache! ## $ sudo /etc/init.d/httpd restart
As I mentioned at the top of this post, our installation of mod_security is good, but we want to enhance our ruleset with the help of OWASP. If you've made it this far, you won't have a problem following a similar process to install OWASP:
## OWASP ## $ cd /etc/httpd/ $ git clone https://github.com/SpiderLabs/owasp-modsecurity-crs.git $ mv owasp-modsecurity-crs modsecurity-crs
Just like with mod_security, we'll set up our configuration file:
## OWASP configuration file ## $ cd modsecurity-crs $ cp modsecurity_crs_10_setup.conf.example modsecurity_crs_10_config.conf
Now we have mod_security and the OWASP core ruleset ready to go! The last step we need to take is to update the Apache config file to set up our basic ruleset:
## Apache configuration ## $ vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
We'll add an IfModule and point it to our new OWASP rule set at the end of the file:
<IfModule security2_module> Include modsecurity-crs/modsecurity_crs_10_config.conf Include modsecurity-crs/base_rules/*.conf </IfModule>
And to complete the installation, we save the config file and restart Apache:
## Restart Apache! ## $ sudo /etc/init.d/httpd restart
And we've got mod_security installed with the OWASP core ruleset! With this default installation, we're leveraging the rules the OWASP open source community has come up with, and we have the flexibility to tweak and enhance those rules as our needs dictate. If you have any questions about this installation or you have any other technical blog topics you'd like to hear from us about, please let us know!

Hi Kyle,
Please excuse our errors. The blog was written during ModSecurity's transition from Sourceforge to GitHub. We've made the necessary changes to the repos and it should work for you now. Please let us know if you have any problems!

This can be installed via yum on the epel repos. Both mod_security and mod_security_crs are available.
If you have the epel yum repos installed this should be as easy as "yum install mod_security mod_security_crs." Of course, as this is meant to be security precautions it's always better to use the original providers (from the github repo now), and you're still better off learning how to configure it, but installation via yum is possible.

I tend to keep mod_security and mod_security_crs Fedora/EPEL packages up-to-date especially when it comes to security updates.
If it's not the case, you can always request it via Bugzilla.

Hi !
Great article. We tried to give it a go but when we get to this step:
## Install mod_security ##
$ cd ModSecurity
$ ./configure
$ make install
After we try "make install" we just get an error:
make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop.
How to fix that error in order to continue the article steps?

There's an error here:
$ cp modsecurity_crs_10_setup.conf.example modsecurity_crs10_config.conf
That should be:
$ cp modsecurity_crs_10_setup.conf.example modsecurity_crs_10_config.conf
Your config states:
Include modsecurity-crs/modsecurity_crs_10_config.conf
Permalink Simon Says:

Also, a missing step is before the ./configure of ModSecurity, you need to run ./autogen.sh (and install the required tools/libs)

Thanks for pointing out the problem with the typo when coding the second
crs_10 part of that command. We've updated the content inline to have it shown properly.
When it comes to the
./configure command, Cassandra's example installs the required tools/libs via a yum command earlier in the post. She explained that she'd be using a CentOS environment in her example, so if you're using a different OS, the process may look subtly different.

how to auto-format partitions ?
gkilla replied to Agent007's topic in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003yo everyone, i'm having that same problem with the paritioning at an unattended setup. haven't tried it yet, but i'm looking at the command autopartition=0. is 0 the only value you can enter or not? do we need to enter the value 1? because if this value doesn't work then autopartition=0 means disable. so i'm going with these lines and check: [Data] AutoPartition=1 [unattended] FileSystem=NTFS Repartition=Yes This part has to work, even if these values of mine aren't right. come on man, why do they call it unattended setup. oh yes, can someone help me with the $EOM$ Distribution Folder? Then i mean where do i make the folders or something, not clear to me yet and tested it with making a user, but nor working. ok terla people

Vanilla Bean Cupcakes
From the kitchen of: dinnerordessert.com Makes: 20-22 cupcakes
Total time: 30-45 min to prep, 18-20 min to bake
I can't believe that it's been a year since my nephew Kiernan was born. It seemed like yesterday I held his little 8 pound body in my arms. Now, he's trying to walk! Why can't they just stay small forever? To celebrate his first birthday, my sister invited many friends and family to their home for a nautical themed birthday. She is obsessed with all things nautical. She recycled items that she had from her baby shower, but added some new décor. Of course, she asked me to make 60 cupcakes for his birthday party which was definitely a fête. A single batch of cupcakes I can do, but making three batches was something I've never really done before. So I scoured through Pinterest to find a recipe for a simple, but flavorful Vanilla Bean cupcake. The morning of the party, I woke up at 8am and literally baked for 3.5 hours straight. I will NEVER try to make that many cupcakes in such a time crunch. Lesson learned. It was a challenge for me, but luckily everyone enjoyed the cupcakes especially the star of the event, Kiernan, who devoured it. He definitely has a sweet tooth like his Momma. The only thing I changed in the original recipe was the amount of powdered sugar in the buttercream. I dialed it back because it was wayyyy to sweet for my taste. Otherwise, it was a moist and sweet cupcake. The vanilla bean flavor definitely stood out. Enjoy!
for the cake
2 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cup whole milk, room temperature
4 egg whites, room temperature
1 stick of butter, softened
1 1/2 cup sugar
seeds from one vanilla bean
2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
for the buttercream
3 sticks of butter, softened
seeds from one vanilla bean
2 teaspoons clear vanilla extract
4 cups powdered sugar, sifted
4 tablespoons whole milk
1. Dry ingredients. First, preheat oven to 350°. Sift flour, baking powder and salt together. Tip: Sift dry ingredients onto parchment paper to make it easier to pour into the batter in step 3.
2. Wet ingredients. In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk and egg whites. Tip: to separate the egg white from the egg yolk, crack the egg on the edge of the bowl. Carefully, open the egg and allow the white part to fall into the bowl. Gentle move the yolk back and forth while using the sharp edge of the egg shell to separate the white part.
3. Batter. In a large bowl, beat the butter, sugar and vanilla bean seeds at medium speed until butter and sugar become light and fluffy. Tip: Be sure the butter is soft and at room temperature to achieve correct fluffiness. Add in the pure vanilla extract and one third of the flour mixture. Mix together. Beat in half of the milk/egg white mixture and then beat in half of the remaining flour mixture. Add the rest of the milk/egg white mixture. Mix well. Then add the last of the flour mixture and mix well until you reach a smooth consistency.
4. Bake cupcakes. With an ice cream scooper, scoop the batter into lined cupcake tins. Fill each cupcake two thirds full. Bake cupcakes for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Once cupcakes are ready, remove them from the pan and allow to cool on baking rack.
5. Frost cupcakes. To make the buttercream, beat softened butter and vanilla beans until fluffy. Slowly add sifted powdered sugar and beat until smooth. Add in clear vanilla extract and milk. Blend on low speed until combined. Scoop buttercream in a piping bag and frost all cupcakes. Tip: I used a piping tip #809 that I found through Etsy. It has a large opening. I also found the clear vanilla extract at Michael's.

ClassyDog e-boutique takes pooch-pampering to nth degree
Updated 2:06 pm, Tuesday, July 2, 2013
A Westport woman has launched an ultra-high-end, online boutique for dog owners who want their canines to live like kings and queens.
TheClassyDog.com offers an array of accessories, apparel, travel goods, beds, grooming products and "dog mansions" to pet owners for whom price is not an issue -- or much of one.
A sampling of products on the site include $460 cashmere sweaters, $500 collars hand made in Italy, $1,500 airline carriers, $5,100 bowls made in a French jewelry shop and $10,000 custom-made houses.
For $3,000 one can order a 4-oz. bottle of unisex "Les Pooches V.I.P." perfume that the web site says is distilled from "rare" Osmanthus flowers.
At the lower end there are shampoos for as little as $10, bowls starting at $80 and hand-made leather leashes starting at $85.
The site was started by Angie Makris, who is running it out of a home office. Orders are shipped directly from designers around the world, most of them in the U.S. and Europe, she said.
"The Classy Dog understands the bond that exists between dogs and their owners and is committed to providing its discerning clientele with personal service and attention to detail," Makris said in an email.
She said all products have been researched and selected for "their quality and uniqueness." Some are custom-made or one of a kind.
Among the merchandize shown on the website are:
Dog necklaces ranging from $105 to $245, plus some dog-themed jewelry for humans.
Collars from $75 to $498.
Clothing ranging from a $78 twill coat to a $1,300 "Diamond Dog Dress."
Houses custom made in the U.S. ranging from five architectural styles for $4,500 (Country Cottage, French Chateau, Georgetown, Swiss Chalet and Victorian) to the Mexican Hacienda for $10,000.
The site's piece d' resistance is a bed made in France. The "Place Vendome Dog Dresser Bed" features a bed on the bottom (pet privacy is assured by velvet curtains with French passementerie tiebacks); above the bed are upholstered drawers to store clothing. Its bronze legs are gilded with 24-karat gold, and it goes for $12,900.
The Classy Dog: On the web at www.TheClassyDog.com. For more information, email email@example.com.
