TAIPEI: Acer today announced its first phablet device here in Computex, designed to be a new travel companion for professionals and adventurers alike. With a large 5.7″ HD 1280 x 720 screen and intelligent applications, the Acer Liquid S1 enhances mobile productivity and entertainment.
Featuring single/dual SIM cards, Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, 42 Mbps data connection, a quad-core 1.5 GHz processor, and a day's worth of battery power, the Acer Liquid S1 combines the work efficiency of a tablet PC with the convenience and rich multimedia features of a smartphone. It is an all-in-one mobile device that opens up more possibilities for users to communicate and explore.[image_library_tag 610/79610, style="float: left;" alt="acer-phablet" ,default]
More than just a bigger phone or a smaller tablet
The Acer Liquid S1 is another example of Acer's progressive design approach – this time to create a more open, comfortable multitasking experience. "We saw that for most people, the smartphone is still a largely restricted, single-task experience," said S.T. Liew, President, Acer Smartphone Business Group. "With the Acer Liquid S1 we wanted our software and hardware working together to open that up."
Acer Float User Interface allows several app windows to stay open so users can multitask without having to back out of one app to work on another. The press of a key brings up the Float Apps shortcut; apps on a translucent screen float over the function being used. It is easy to access or switch Float Apps anytime. These apps include camera, maps, calculator and notes. A Float Caller notification ensures that users will not be interrupted by incoming calls that take over the full screen. When a call comes in, the Float Caller mini-window pops up and the user can choose to take the call or reply with a quick message.
Acer Auto Profile supports predefined network settings for frequently visited locations, so when a user visits a programmed location, the Acer Liquid S1 can automatically adjust settings including brightness, volume and vibration; and can even power on or off Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and 3G connections .
The optional digital pen writes freely and smoothly like a full size pen with a thick 9.5mm grip. The pen comes equipped with two buttons: one to launch the Float Notes app, and another to toggle between write and erase modes during note taking.
Voice Unlock directly opens apps or interfaces by recording and using personal voice commands. Users can quickly unlock the Acer Liquid S1 to the home screen or other applications by voice, in one easy step.
Acer data traffic manager keeps a close eye on daily and monthly data usage, which is especially handy for users who do not have an unlimited data plan.
Wireless office at hand
The Acer Liquid S1 gives users ready, open access to their documents and files wherever they go. Professionals can leave documents and computers behind, secure in knowing that they can wirelessly retrieve their files via Acer Docs. Users can also remotely access files from their main PC through Acer Remote Files.
Fully enabled with wireless display and print features, the Acer Liquid S1 can project presentations in 720p HD, and print documents directly.
The Acer Liquid S1 will start shipping in Q3 2013.

I'll be updating this as I grow the blog but this is the story for now :)!
Let me reintroduce myself
How many times have you thought about ending it all?
ME: Once!
I lived in America for 4 years, the first 3 were great, the sun was shining, you could feel the love and warmth of California everywhere. My favourite thing to do was cycle down by Newport Beach along the path on my beach cruiser with 70m of sand between me and the beautiful blue sea! My favourite time to cycle was when the Sun was setting, it wasn't too hot and the views were beautiful!
Then, I guess you could say things went a bit "Pete Tong"! I divorced my Wife at the time, she kicked me out, I was homeless! Every cloud… however and I did manage to "borrow" her car so I was able to sleep in the car most nights, I also worked at a 24 hour gym so there was a desk I was able to use to sleep under for another few nights!
I finally picked myself up and got a place, I kept my job though this period as a Sales Manager so I had to keep everyone buzzing with energy! I did well keeping up the image that nothing was going on! Until I messed up a little…….
I'm sure we've all made mistakes right?  I went out to a party with a mate, got wasted, and he convinced me to drive him home! Bloody stupid! I reversed into a car, panicked and drove off, I parked up down the road and went back to the party! Got even more wasted, 30 mins later I went back to check on the car, sure enough there was a police presence! I didn't think they noticed me so I ran and hid under a set of stairs (hide and seek training only, no previous military experience haha)! Then I heard the command "Come out with your hands up", shit i've seen Facebook videos and films about American cops, better do as he says. Sure enough with his gun drawn I came out slowly and did everything he said!
Locked up, stripped down with the biggest hangover you could imagine, waiting in a holding cell with 18 others for 24 hours, one blocked toilet in the middle and concrete floors to sleep on, the horrific stench of Bologna sandwiches every 6 hours. It was a nightmare!
I was nervous as hell because I didn't know anyones number (who remembers numbers these days?) no one knew where I was, I couldn't tell my employer where I was so I was bound to lose my job and everyone back home had no idea! It's a long story but I got hold of my employer just in time and kept my job!
I got out of Jail with a $30,000 fine (at 10% interest) and 28 days of CalTrans (hard labour basically). I had to make a tough choice as I was financially ruined at this point because I had to pay to get my car out of the impound! I ditched my car insurance to pay back the restitution instead! Risky business!
I fell behind with payments on my car, but I managed to pay the restitution for the first two months. By month 3 I was going to be 3 days late paying the restitution and I hadn't made a car payment in a couple of months.
At this time I was working at a bank as a personal banker (aka hypocrite)! I walked out of work one day to find my Mini Cooper S Convertible that I absolutely loved, GONE! It had been repossessed!
Shit! I had nothing! I got sent some money from my parents, not too much as they dot't have much but it was my birthday money and enough to put down $100 on a car with monthly repayments! I also managed to make my restitution payment even if it was 3 days late!
This red scratched up sporty looking car did not fit in though, it was something you would expect to be sitting in a scrap yard not driving around in Orange County! Sure enough, I drive past a motorcycle cop and I check the rear mirror, Blue flashing lights baby, I knew it was coming!
I had no insurance, but that's cool, that's just a ticket that I would have to go to court to answer for. Then something came through on the Radio…. I had an arrest warrant for failure to pay restitution! Hang on, I paid!!! Yes I was 3 days late but I paid it!!
Sure enough, 3 days matters! The second the deadline passes an arrest warrant gets issued! Back to jail I went, there are some jail stories I have that are interesting but that's for another time! This was on a Thursday and it was a national holiday on Monday…. I didn't get to see the judge until the following Wednesday as they were booked up!
Divorced, Homeless, Jail, Hard Labour, Lost my Car, Struggled big time with money, Jail again, No family around, too proud to ask friends for help, I felt lost, down and depressed! I got sentenced to 3 months in jail suspended for paying my fine 3 days late! I felt hard done by to say the least!
I was walking down a long street one day, the palm trees were tall and the sun was setting behind them, it looked beautiful…. but tears were streaming down my face, I felt knotted up inside and sick, I had no one to turn to! NOW'S MY CHANCE! A huge arctic lorry was trundling along the road at speed, all I had to do was time it right and get in front of it!
Then I was flooded with guilt and I reminded myself that I have family and people that care about me back home! I made the decision not to take my own life, but to take control of my life!
I booked a one way ticket to London with my final pay cheque, I landed and checked my old halifax account had £12.50 in it and I had a suit! I had set up 4 interviews by email before I got back to the UK and had to borrow money off my brother to get to the interviews! Sure enough I had gained some fantastic experience in America, both life experience and work experience! I was offered all 4 jobs!
I then made it a goal to buy a house within a year! The guy that was homeless and in Jail just a few weeks ago had set a huge goal!! I FUCKING DID IT BABY!!!!! I own a nice little two bedroom cottage in Beddau, Wales! I currently rent it out but it was a huge accomplishment for me! But the Drama's not over yet!
I then get a text out of the blue! "I'm pregnant"! SHIT!!!
A one night stand when I got back to the UK turned into a bloody kid! Don't get me wrong I love my little boy now, it did take me a hell of a long time to accept it and come round to the fact that i'm a dad though!
Now, I want to provide for my boy, I want to spend more time with him then just every other weekend! That's why I left my full-time employment at the beginning of this month! I need to do something greater then being an employee! I need to have freedom and mentor my boy! I need him to know his Dad is here and Loves him!

If you are one of the many individuals who would love to experience TIFF, but cannot afford to make the trip to the festival, you are in luck. For the first time ever, you can experience a piece of the festival from wherever are. This year TIFF is introducing their first ever online-only screening. On Wednesday September 16, for 24 hours, TIFF will be showcasing a selection of international shorts playing this years' festival. The screening will include an exclusive Q&A roundtable with the films' directors. Tickets for this special event are only $10 CAD (a steal considering the value of the Canadian dollar at the moment) and will be on sale on Vimeo from September 10-15, 2015. There are only 500 slots available so be sure to get your tickets fast.
Here are the films that will be playing during the Short Cuts Re/Mix online screening:
Directed by Grayson Moore, Aidan Shipley, Canada
Returning to boxing class after a life-changing accident, Sheila has a tough time coping with a classmate's far-from-selfless efforts to express her concern. An extraordinary cast makes sure all the punches land in this skilfully directed tension-and-release exercise.
The Ballad of Immortal Joe
Directed by Hector Herrera, Canada
A two-fisted tale of ill-fated romance and six-gun justice gets a supernatural twist in this animated homage to the cowboy poetry of Robert W. Service. Kenneth Welsh's lusty narration and The Sadies' dead-cool score lend extra colour to the vivid vistas of lonesome prairies and desperate men.
Deszcz (Rain)
Directed by Malina Maria Mackiewicz, Australia
Every time Magda goes to see her lover, Jedrzej, in prison, neither of them knows when his execution will take place. For two years, they have had to accept that either each visit will be the end, and with the end will come a new beginning, or… not.
Directed by Kevin Papatie, Canada
In this resonant tribute to his grandmother, Kevin Papatie presents the history of the Anicinape people as a cyclical journey that begins and ends with resilience.
Dream the Other
Directed by Abril Schmucler Iñiguez, Mexico
In his sleep each night, Diego, a lonely man with a humdrum life in Mexico City, dreams of the (far more invigorating) life of a man named Alejandro Valle. As his friend Fabian looks on in disbelief, Diego's shifting realities begin to take on new forms and a new meaning.
Bacon & God's Wrath
Directed by Sol Friedman, Canada
In this endearing and playful mixed-media docu-collage, ninety-year-old Razie's discovery of "the Google" leads her to a reckoning with her lifelong Jewish faith.
El Adiós
Directed by Clara Roquet, Spain
A Bolivian maid who's long served a wealthy Spanish family, Rosana is too busy with funeral preparations to grieve the newly departed matriarch. But amid all the events of the day are subtler suggestions of Rosana's possible liberation. Clara Roquet directs this beautifully realized story of one household's class divide.
The Call
Directed by Zamo Mkhwanazi, South Africa
This arresting urban drama from Johannesburg's Zamo Mkhwanazi focuses on a key moment in the relationship between a taxi driver and a prostitute. When Sibongiseni finds out that Purity is pregnant, he begins to question his own place in the world.
That Dog
Directed by Nick Thorburn, USA
In this wickedly acerbic spin on a quintessential LA story, three people in an apartment complex raise social awkwardness and crass insensitivity to the level of art form. Musician-turned-filmmaker Nick Thorburn makes the most of a cast that includes alt-comedy heroes Michael Cera and Tim Heidecker.
More information on the Short Cuts Re/Mix titles, and ticket information, can be found on the TIFF website.


text: Derbyshire Junior League Quarter Final On 21st July our Junior team of James Wadsworth, Curtis Wilson, Joe Howard and Declan Roberts played Tapton on their course in the quarter final match. Both teams were closely matched in handicaps and at halfway it looked as though Tapton were pulling away for victory. Over the last nine holes Curtis, Joe and Declan came out winners to enable Chesterfield to go through to the semifinals of the Derbyshire League and we await the draw and opponents for the semi final.

Bindrim gathered patients together, sat them in a circle while nude, and told them to "crotch-eyeball" (his actual term for the treatment) one lucky participant who laid in the center with their legs in the air. This could go on for up to 36 hours, while Bindrim lectured the group about the genitalia and anus, pried personal stories of sexual failure out of everyone, and pressured them about how repressed they all were.
If staring at a random stranger's exposed fun bits for over a day didn't cure you, worry not -- Bindrim had other aces up what we can only hope was his sleeve. He also encouraged patients to talk to their own genitals. He told one patient to explain to her vagina (which was called "Katy," for reasons tragically lost to history) what generally goes on in her crotch region: "Say, 'Katy, this is where I shit, fuck, piss and masturbate.'" An embarrassing silence later, the patient replied: "I think Katy already knows that." Oh, and sometimes he made male patients beat the hell out of benches while imagining the benches were women who had failed to give them love.
Filip Fuxa/iStock
"Katy, this is where hobos shit, fuck, piss, and masturbate!" they'd yell.
Bindrim's techniques weren't purely for pantsless amusement. They aimed to regress the participants back to the source of their trauma, and produce strong emotions which he called "peak experiences." His methods even received positive press in the 1960s and 1970s, though the media would eventually turn on him. See, although Bindrim was a qualified professional with full academic credentials, he also had a keen interest in parapsychology, and was an ordained minister in the Church of Religious Science. When he eventually got bored of commanding naked people like a dong hypnotist, he switched to "aqua-energetics," a process wherein he used water to suck away negative life energy and improve health. This is a process modern science refers to as "bullshit."

Psychiatrists and other behavioral health professionals need to better understand the relationship between cannabis and mental disorders so that they can respond to increasing medical and recreational marijuana use among their patients. More than half of states now allow for medical use, and 8 states and the District of Columbia have legalized adult personal or recreational use.
Knowledge about herbal cannabis, the endocannabinoid system, and cannabinoid pharmacology is rapidly expanding. However, compared with the literature on non-medical cannabis use, the scientific literature on therapeutic use of cannabis is underdeveloped, as noted in a recent systematic review of medical cannabis and mental health.1 Although herbal cannabis has a long history of medicinal use, its federal prohibition under the Controlled Substances Act of 1970 with Drug Enforcement Administration Schedule I status has focused the federally supported cannabis research agenda for half a century on the potential harms rather than on the historically acknowledged therapeutic benefits of this complex plant.
Medicinal potential of cannabis
For the sake of this discussion, herbal cannabis refers to plant material derived from the flowering tops of Cannabis indica, sativa, or ruderalis biotypes. Indica, sativa, and indica-sativa hybrid strains are commonly available on the medicinal cannabis market.
Herbal cannabis is biochemically rich in a variety of compounds, both psychoactive and non-psychoactive. It has been reported that there are 483 compounds unique to marijuana, including more than 60 cannabinoids and some 140 terpenes. The phytocannabinoid that produces much of the psychoactive effect is delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). However, there is increasing interest in another constituent, cannabidiol (CBD), which is not considered psychoactive but appears to have therapeutic value for a wide variety of conditions, either alone or in combination with THC.
Although federal policy has disallowed access to cannabis even for medicinal use since the passage of the Controlled Substances Act, THC was approved in a synthetically manufactured formulation in 1985 as an oral medication indicated for nausea and vomiting associated with chemotherapy. Originally a Schedule II medication, molecular THC was later reclassified under Schedule III, which indicates lower abuse potential. From the late 1970s into the early 1990s, a few patients gained access to herbal cannabis through the federal Investigational New Drug program, but no new patients were enrolled after 1992.
It is ironic that currently in the US the non-psychoactive compound CBD is generally accessible for medicinal use only in the form of federally prohibited herbal cannabis products available under state medical marijuana laws. Grant and colleagues2 have summarized succinctly a point made by many others: "Based on evidence currently available the Schedule 1 classification is not tenable; it is not accurate that cannabis has no medical value, or that information on safety is lacking." Interestingly, the US government has held a patent on substituted CBD derivatives as antioxidants and neuroprotectants for nearly 2 decades.
Perceived benefits of medical cannabis
Regardless of the legal status of cannabis, many patients with psychiatric disorders use cannabis and report improvement in their symptoms. Patients use cannabis for symptoms of PTSD, anxiety disorders, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, chronic pain, insomnia, opiate dependence, and even schizophrenia. In addition, patients use cannabis for neurological conditions such as the spasticity of multiple sclerosis, agitation in dementia, and specific seizure disorders that are unresponsive to standard therapies. Patients also use cannabis to reduce the nausea and anorexia of cancer chemotherapies and to improve their mood and outlook—frequently with their oncologist's approval.
With the advent of state medical cannabis laws beginning with California in 1996, medical cannabis has become commercially available in many states as herbal material that may be smoked or vaporized, as well as consumed in a wide variety of other preparations (Table). In addition to the various formulations available through state-based programs, pharmaceutical-grade whole herbal cannabis extracts have been under development during the past 2 decades. The first product to gain approval for medical use was Sativex, a whole herbal extract standardized to a THC:CBD ratio of 1:1 and administered as a sublingual spray. Sativex was approved in Canada for use in multiple sclerosis in 2005 and chronic cancer pain in 2006, and has been approved for medical use in at least 2 dozen countries, although it is not FDA approved. More recently, a liquid formulation of pure plant-derived CBD (Epidiolex) has been undergoing trials as an anticonvulsant for seizures refractory to other available treatments.
Dr. Fichtner reports no conflicts of interest concerning the subject matter of this article. Dr. Moss reports that he owns 24 common stock shares of GW Pharmaceuticals currently valued at $2900 in his IRA. GW Pharmaceuticals is the maker of the drugs Sativex and Epideolex.

Diamonds and Dogs
Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG) is finally bouncing. Chipotle's stock rose nearly 6% today in a down market after executives on Wednesday said they are confident that steps they are taking to tighten food safety at the popular burrito chain will prevent future food poisoning outbreaks. Chipotle's had a rough couple of months with the stock down over 40% since October after a rash of E.coli outbreaks at a number of their restaurants. Going forward, the company has announced new competitive marketing efforts to gain back customers.
You can still lend money from the safety of your couch and in your pajamas with today's dog. Lending Tree (TREE) dropped 29% after reiterating guidance, but not raising guidance. The CEO commented on today's selloff saying since the company did not raise 2016 guidance, investors are speculating that there won't be any growth. When asked if 2016 is looking strong, CEO Lebda simply replied "yes." Further, he stated "I have never been more bullish on the future of the company than I have been in 19 years." Lebda founded LendingTree in 1996 after shopping for his first mortgage. With comments like this, LendingTree should be a buy opportunity.

Ok, so there are two pieces of big news that have helped my blogging efforts to fail recently.
1. We have been house shopping. Last week we put an offer on a home and are not so patiently waiting to hear back.
2. D is on the way! That's right, baby #3 is due June 10th. So far everything is going OK although I have been sick and am already struggling to fend of pre-term labor.
So please, thank you for following and stick with me for the upcoming adventures.

HOME REMEDIES FOR STRETCH MARKSGenerally they are more on the stomach, but they can also occur on any part of the body such as the hand, elbows, feet shints, thighs etc. Women are mainly worried about this. Men's class is also not untouched by the problem of these marks. Even if you exercise too much or do not do it the right way, some marks begin to appear on the body. Stretch marks sometimes occur in large parts of the body. If these are not taken care of, then this problem begins to grow.
1. There are three layers in skin composition, the first layer is the epitome. It is the outermost skin, also called Epidermis. After this, the inner layer in the middle is called dermis, and the lowest layer is hypodermis. Stretch marks are mainly in the middle layer. Stretch in the middle layer, fibers or cells in the dermis are responsible for the stretch marks.
2.This problem is common after pregnancy in women. After delivery from the operation, the possibility of getting streach marks is high. Due to the operation many stripes and scars remain on the stomach. These are called stretch marks. It is very difficult for women to remove these marks.
3. Another reason for having strech marks is sudden decrease or increase in weight. Sudden increase or decrease in weight leads to strain of the stomach nerves, due to which the blood circulation of the area is affected, and the skin of the place begins to form light colored marks.
4. As the skin comes in the strain, collagen (collagen-bone fibers) becomes weak and the hormones of the body become obstructed, and due to which the on top most layer of the skin epidermis, marks are formed. Initially, these marks are light pink or red, but after some time they give rise to strichy marks by forming brightly colored stripes.
Water is life. Water is the most essential for living on earth. Half of the body diseases are destroyed by drinking water. There is 72% water in our body. Doctors also recommend drinking at least 8-10 glasses of water daily. Water helps in keeping the changes of hormones in a better way.The amount of abundant water keeps the oxygen present in the blood in the body, so that the blood circulation is correct. Because of this, each fiber and cells perform their function smoothly and inhibit the stretch caused by them, which does not have any type of stretch marks on the body.
Castor oil:
Castor oil is also used to remove the stretch marks. Apply it for 5-10 minutes by rotating a round with a finger and then tie it with some cloth (like bandage on someone) and give steam for about half an hour. The marks will start disappearing within a month.
Aloe vera is a great way to remove the pimples. Aloe vera is a panacea to remove all skin related problems. Whether there is black heads on the face, acne, or their stains, dark circles or any type of mark, Aloe vera is the medication of every problem. It can be used in any form. It is very easy to apply.
By removing aloe vera's clot and putting it on the face, the freckles( chaiyan), black grafts, stains, and scars begin to diminish and the face and skin begin to shine. It can be used to erase the marks of any part of the body.

Egg white:
Egg is the best source of protein. Amino acids and proteins are abundant in egg white . Any place where there is any kind of mark, keep the egg white on it for 15-20 minutes (till it does not dry). Then wash it with cold water. After this, add olive oil or some other oil for moisture on it. Stretch marks start to be light when it is done daily for a few days.
Potatoes and potato juice:
Vitamins and minerals are found in potatoes, which are helpful in the growth of skin cells. Because the main reason for the stretch marks on the body is the pulling of the fibers inside the body and the cells, so potato is a very good source to increase the quantity of these fibers.
Cut a piece of potato, put it on a place containing Stretch Marks for a while and let it dry. Keep in mind the potato juice spreads well on the spot . After drying it, clean it with lukewarm water. In a few days all kinds of marks will start to fall.
Lemon juice:
Lemon also has its many advantages. The use of lemon juice is a very easy way to reduce the stretch marks. It is naturally acidic which helps in removing the marks caused by the pimples, black circles, blackheads etc. on the skin.
Massage the juice of lemon slowly on the affected area and rotate round with finger. Then let it stay for a while, so that the skin can absorb it. Wash with lukewarm water, because lukewarm water has its own advantages. In a few days, any type of mark will be gone.

TIME asked Ricky Gervais to write about the secrets of his success.
Whenever I'm asked that standard question, "What advice would you give to someone who wants success like yours," I say "work hard, be original and write about what you know" (I'm always tempted to add "and get final edit" but I'm aware that this is very difficult starting out, and that I'm an incredibly rare case to have always been afforded this privilege.) The first, "work hard," is not only the most important, but actually, essential. I believe that if you didn't have to work for something, it can't truly be considered success. Luck doesn't count. I think success is allowed a certain pride and you can't be proud of luck or even of being born smart, artistic, or talented. (MORE: Ricky Gervais on The Difference Between American and British Humour) Secondly, being original is often considered dangerous if you want huge mainstream success.
The third thing is to write about what you know. Ricky Gervais' Nine Commandments of Being Nice. Ricky Gervais: Is There a Difference Between British and American Humor. It's often dangerous to generalize, but under threat, I would say that Americans are more "down the line."

Glass block windows can provide added light along with welcome privacy for your basement. This can ensure the most comfortable surroundings for you and your family inside your Milwaukee home. If these windows become damaged, however, they can allow water and cold air to creep inside, reducing your home's energy efficiency and diminishing your ability to stay comfortable indoors. If you are planning a Milwaukee basement repair in the near future, it may be worthwhile to schedule glass block window repair or replacement at the same time to ensure the best possible results from your project.
The Benefits of Glass Block Windows
Glass block windows were developed and patented in the early part of the 20th century by a German firm called Deutsche Luxfer. These blocks of glass were used to create skylights to allow natural light into darker areas of homes, office buildings and industrial facilities. Today, glass block windows are used in a similar way to allow light to shine into basements without losing privacy. These windows can provide solid insulation benefits and improved security for your home's basement, making them a great investment for you and your family.
Glass Block Window Styles
Glass blocks come in a wide range of styles to suit just about any décor and preference:
* Ice glass block windows offer superior privacy and are often used for basements and bathrooms to let in light while blocking visibility for those outside your home.
* Wavy glass windows offer a moderate amount of privacy while maximizing the light entering your basement.
* Diamond glass blocks have a distinctive look and offer easy maintenance for homeowners. Because the diamond pattern is contained inside the window block, both the inside and outside surfaces are smooth, making these glass blocks a breeze to clean.
* Clear glass windows offer clear visibility from inside and outside your home. These windows are best suited for areas in which privacy is not a primary concern.
Companies that specialize in basement repair can often provide you with added guidance on the right glass block window installations for your budget and your needs.
Do Your Glass Block Windows Need Repair or Replacement?
If your windows are showing signs of age, chipping or discoloration, working with a qualified Milwaukee basement repair can help you prevent issues that could affect the comfort and livability of your home. Some of the most common problems with older glass block windows include the following:
* Water leaks through cracks in the glass or gaps around the window
* Discoloration of glass that can block light and reduce visibility
* Drafts that can occur when air can pass through cracks and holes in your windows
A qualified basement repair company can replace your older windows with energy-efficient glass block window installations to improve the appearance of your basement and increase the value and comfort of your home. Basement window replacement is usually done in conjunction with other basement repairs.
At Accurate Basement Repair, we specialize in providing you with the waterproofing and repair services needed to help your home feel more comfortable and to ensure that it retains its value now and for many years to come. We serve the entire Milwaukee area with the most advanced and reliable services for drain tile testing and replacement, foundation repair and waterproofing your basement. If you need reliable glass block window repair or replacement, give us a call today at 414-744-6900. We look forward to the chance to serve you.

3. What is
It is defined as the movement of air from the environment to the lungs, and back, via inhalation and exhalation.
4. What is surfactant?
Chemicals secreted by alveoli into the lumen of the alveolus to maintain the structure of the alveoli and reduce work done by lungs to keep alveoli inflated.
5. What is the diaphragm?

8. What is expiration?
It occurs passively; the abdominals and internal intercostals decrease the thoracic cavity.
9. What is MVV?
Maximum Voluntary Ventilation is a rapid deep breathing for 15 seconds to estimate the ventilatory capacity.
10. What is the minute volume?
The volume of air moved per minute.
11. What is the Valsalva Maneuver?
Stabilizing abdomen and chest during heavy lifting, increase intrathoracic pressure, collapse veins reducing blood flow to the heart, decreasing SV and BP.
12. What is alveolar ventilation?
Minute ventilation and anatomic dead space.
13. What is perfusion?
The blood supply to gas exchange areas.
14. What is the V-P Ratio?
Volume of air to alveoli and volume of blood in capillaries.
15. What are Type 1 alveolar cells?
Simple squamous, and extensive gas diffusion.
16. What are Type 2 alveolar cells?
Simple squamous, boxier, and secrete surfactant.
17. What are the pores of Kohn?
It is the spaces connecting alveoli to disperse surfactant and enable gas diffusion between adjacent cells.
18. What are the roles of the conductive zone?
It is the convective transport, humidification, add heat E, filter particulate matter, vocalization, and antibody secretion.
19. What are the roles of the respiratory zone?
It acts in the gas exchange, produces surfactant, regulates molecular activity, regulates clotting, and endocrine functions.
20. What is the ventilation cycle?
The diaphragm contracts, scalene/external intercostals move ribs up to increase thoracic cavity volume. Outside pressure,
Diaphragm relaxes, abdominals/internal intercostals move ribs down to decrease thoracic cavity volume. And alveolar pressure which is outside pressure causing air to move out.
21. What are the benefits of the 'bent over' recovery posture?
The reduce effects of gravity on inspiration (decrease strain on muscles), increase blood flow to the heart (decrease blood column height).

41. What are the problems associated with hyperventilation?
Lightheaded (vasoconstriction), tingling fingers, loss of consciousness, and muscle spasms in the hands/feet.
42. What are the benefits of breath holding during hyperventilation?
Increased PaO2 causes central chemoreceptors to sense H+ levels in the blood and restore normal breathing.
43. What are the chemical factors of hyperpnea?
Peripheral chemoreceptors (sense O2), and central chemoreceptors (sense indirectly PaO2 via H+ in CSF).
44. What are the neural factors of hyperpnea?
Cortical influence (activate motor cortex in anticipation) and peripheral influence (proprioceptors activated before it drops in pH).
45. What is the relation of COPD and exercise?
Constricted airways make respiration especially difficult which limits the exercise capacity of the patient and reduces the overall level of activity.
46. What is the low-temperature effect on ventilation?
It has no major effects. It increases water and heat loss.
47. What is high-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE)?
It is the filling of the lungs above 2500m.

(VO2= CO + [O2] arteries – CO*[O2] venous) or (CO= VdotO2 / a-vbarO2).
67. What is left ventricular hypertrophy?
Characteristic of endurance training, increased VO2 max, lower resting HR (increase protein synthesis, myofibrils thicken, and increase contractile elements.
68. What is Diastole?
It is the relaxation phase of blood pressure where the chambers fill with blood.
69. What is Systole?
It is the contraction phase (squeeze phase) of blood pressure where the chambers expel blood.
70. How can age affect the first phase of diastole?
Atrial contraction force isn't as strong so can affect cardiac output.
71. What is the second phase of diastole?
Inlet and outlet valves are closed. Ventricular pressure rises above atrial pressure, so AV valves close ("Lub" S1 sound).
72. What is
Ventricular chamber geometry changes. Heart rings itself out, misshapes then
73. What is isovolumetric relaxation?
Inlet & outlet valves are closed so ventricle is a closed chamber again. Ventricular pressure falls rapidly and AV valves open when pressure falls just below atrial pressure.
74. What can pace the heart, but at a slower pace, if the SA node is damaged?
The AV node.
75. How do you calculate maximal oxygen consumption?
VO2 max = Q x arteriovenous O difference.
76. How do you calculate cardiac output?
Q = SV x HR
77. How do you calculate stroke volume?
SV = end diastolic volume – end systolic volume.
78. What is the Frank-Starling mechanism?
More blood in the ventricle causes a greater stretch and contraction with increased force.

83. How to calculate pulmonary ventilation?
VE = TV x f
84. The tidal volume generally plateaus at what percentage of the vital capacity?
50-60% of vital capacity.
85. Vital capacity is the combination of what?
Max inspirational + max expiratory reserve volume.
86. What represents the sight of the highest vascular resistance due to the large pressure drop?
87. What is cardiac output?
It is the amount of blood pumped out per unit time.
88. What is the result of venoconstriction?
It results in an increased pressure within peripheral veins without a change in resistance, resulting in an increased venous return to the heart. This will cause RV hypertrophy.
89. In a healthy individual, Q should decrease after stopping exercise. What should happen to the endothelial wall?
It will get smaller.
90. What is vascular tone?
The degree of constriction of a blood vessel which is relative to its maximally dilated state.
91. Putting an individual in the supine position will influence what?
Preload because it eliminates the gravitational pull.
92. What will increase in a primarily high-intensity exercise?
Respiratory rate.
Final Thoughts
So there you have it. I hope this study guide can help you develop your knowledge about the effects of exercise on the cardiopulmonary system. I'm confident that if you can answers these practice questions, you can easily learn everything you need to know for Respiratory Therapy school.

Robbie Amell Snuggles With Gillian Anderson In First Pic From 'X-Files' Set
We are here for this duo. 'X-Files' star Gillian Anderson was kind enough to post a pic of herself on the set of the rebooted series with costar Robbie Amell! Looking good, you guys!
When X-Files returns to television in January, 2016, we can expect to see Mulder (David Duchovny) and Scully (Gillian Anderson) back in action, of course. However, we're also in for some newcomers, namely, Robbie Amell! The Flash star posed for some adorable pics alongside his new costar, Gillian, and they even posted them on social media for all of us to see! So thoughtful!
Robbie has only been confirmed for one episode of the series (so far), but that doesn't mean we can't get a little sneak peek of his perfect self on set! The hunky dude will depict the smooth and smart Agent Miller and, from the looks of this social media sharing, he and Gillian will be spending some time together!
We don't know much else about Robbie's character– and trust us, we even asked! "I don't know what I'm allowed to say," he told HollywoodLife.com. "So let's just say, I'm f–king pumped!" Okay, but like, let's say a bit more!
The photos which Robbie and Gillian posted didn't do much to inform us about his character, either. Gillian shared a picture of she and Robbie both rocking official X-Files baseball caps, alongside the caption, "…or THIS one, @RobbieAmell! It's Agent Miller Time!" We'd sure say it is!
Robbie's picture featured a more enticing caption, however, clues about his character were equally elusive! "Do you believe?" Robbie wrote next to a photo of he and Gillian on the set. He added the all-important hashtag #TheXFiles as well as the obligatory alien emoji. Check out the pics below!

Ok, last time we straightened the picture. Your straightened picture should look something like this.

Using the Straightening Tool
Hello, and again, these tutorials are from the perspective of Corel's Paint Shop Pro, specifically X4. This time, we will use the Straighten and Perspective tools over two tutorials. These tools haven't changed since at least version 9 (X4 would be version 14), and they probably work very much the same in other graphic packages.

Tastes Like Chicken Part 3
Well, that was a nice Thanksgiving break! Now let's wrap up the tutorial with an optional addendum. You'll recall that the tutorial was about copying an object from one image into another. Since the pasted object was not the same shape as the original, we had to graft parts of the background to fill in the voids. Here's the picture.

Tastes Like Chicken Part 2
Let's recap this tutorial's first part.
You loaded the original picture, showing a grill full of chicken and a hand holding a piece of chicken on a fork. Then you loaded some other picture that had some object in it that you wanted to use to replace the piece of chicken on the fork. You used the Freehand Selection tool, set to Smart Edge, to select the object. Then you copied and pasted the selected object into the original picture as a layer.

Photochopping, anyone?
What is Photochopping?
Photochopping means to use software to manipulate images beyond basic retouching and effect application. When you smooth the crows feet on your Aunt Betty's eyes, that's retouching. When you alter the photo so it looks like she's dirty dancing with John Travolta, that's photochopping! Just applying an effect to a picture is not photochopping, and merely captioning a picture is also not photochopping, no matter how clever your caption is. To photochop, you need to chop — you need to combine photos, take material from one to put into another, or make non-trivial changes to an original.

Fashion Week Q&A with Sebastian Cubides
Filed under: Fashion
January 28, 2016
Sebastian Cubides is participating in his second New York Fashion Week runway show. In 2015, he presented the collection "Architectural," inspired by renderings of a research lab in the Ukraine and a commercial center in China. This year's collection is inspired by getting away from it all and finding peace in the forest.
Sebastian understands the value of learning from the ground up. He's volunteered at fashion shows for Oscar de la Renta, Roberto Cavalli, Carolina Herrera, Perry Ellis, and at Funkshion Fashion Week. He also designed a 20 piece collection for The Pasarela Punta del Este in Uruguay.
Sebastian was born in Manchester, New Hampshire and grew up in Miami, Florida where he's a current student pursing a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Fashion Design at Miami International University of Art & Design.
What inspired this year's collection?
I was very inspired by the idea of people who enjoy spending time away from the hustle and bustle of the big city—[people who] spend time in the forest. That idea brought to mind the idea of a sleeker version of cargo wear that could be used in the city, as well as the countryside.
This is your second time at New York Fashion Week. How did last year's experience impact your current design?
Last year's collection really helped me to realize that I wanted to explore designing outerwear. I realized I had a weird obsession with patch pockets and a fixation on cargo wear. [Combining these] elements was a challenge, but the theme I chose helped to make it all come together in my mind.
How did your Fashion Design education help you to prepare the collection?
At Miami International University of Art & Deisgn, we have yearly fashion shows. If we want our designs to be in the shows, we must comply with the strict deadlines. [This is also] how it is at the New York Fashion Week show.
What's a typical day like as you prepare for the runway?
[Each day] I make a list of what I need to [complete] in order to made the following day more productive. I do take breaks to eat, and I make sure to give myself ample time to sleep [as well as] enough time to catch up on homework assignments.
What would you tell current fashion students?
It's important to do your research and make sure you keep current with every season. Take the time to really research and try to learn new techniques outside of school. Better yourself as much as you can.
Which designers, blogs, or publications inspire you?
I am inspired by Yohji Yamamoto, Alber Elbaz, and Alexander McQueen. I follow many blogs and read many publications, but my favorites are: Vogue Italia, W Magazine, CR Fashion Book, and Haute Blogging.

It's built to be so. The whole screen is updated a single time each minute, and only the seconds are updated every second if it's in 1HZ mode. Everything is light in code, so that it lives more. I have more optimisations to do, but I have less time to do.

Servings: 8
Preheat to 470F
T is tablespoon, t is teaspoon, c is cup.
Just so you know this recipe is still in the experimental stage. As you can see from the photo they look great. They taste pretty good. But still not what I am looking for, I am after all looking for a closer than this to a real bialy.
This is a recipe I have been working on and Peter does not want me to mess with it any more. But I am sure I will and I will let you know when I do if the new messing about brings a better product.
If you used to love bialy before you got to be gluten free, you will notice these are not the same, but by now you should know that most bread stuff cannot achieve the sameness as wheat bread, they can be good, and tasty and better, but never the same. But if you never had a bialy before, you will say, hey these are good! At least I hope you do.
What is a bialy, you ask? Well it is an authentic New York City foodstuff by the way of Bialystock, Poland! Bialy's are not as well known or as prevalent as bagels, actually I am not sure if you can get them any place other than in New York City, even in the city, they are not available every place that sells bagels. But they are less bready, easier to make and to me, infinitely more delicious. You might be able to find them in a bakery in a Polish neighborhood outside of New York City.
Bialy is a great substitute for English muffins or crumpets, they are a flat bread. They are thinner than English muffins. But, if you split them in half they not as full of crannies as English muffins, and do remember not to use onion if you plan to use jam on them!
Oh yea, bialy's don't have a hole in the middle and they are not shiny and hard outside and soft inside like a bagel. Once I get the bialy's right, I shall start to work on bagels. But that is for another time.
As I've mentioned in other recipes I use an Ikea plastic tray which I find just right for kneading dough, rolling out pastry and such activity as the shiny plastic coating keeps the dough from sticking to the tray and thus makes it unnecessary to use too much extra flour, yes, sometimes you do have a sprinkle a little flour on the tray, but a lot less than with other surfaces and I find it is easier to make sure the tray is cleaner than to wash down counters.
You do need to make the starter 12 to 18 hours before you continue with the recipe.
Dough starter:
1/8 t active dry yeast
3 T room temperature water
½ c Gluten Free Pantry, all purpose flour
¼ t guar gum
Mix flour water and yeast in a small bowl, cover with a dish cloth and leave on your counter for 12 to 18 hours. This amount of ingredients will give you about 2oz of starter.
½ t active dry yeast
2 oz warm (105-110F) water
1 t sugar
The dough starter:
8.5 oz Gluten Free Pantry, sandwich bread mix
4.8 oz Gluten Free Pantry, all purpose flour
2 ½ t guar gum
1 ½ t baking powder
7 oz warm water
1 ½ t kosher salt
2 t olive oil
½ t poppy seeds (optional)
½ c minced onion (1/4" dice)
Dissolve the yeast, sugar and water in a small bowl and set aside for 15 minutes by which time the yeast would have foamed. If the yeast has not foamed, you used water that was way too hot or your yeast was not fresh. If you store your yeast in the refrigerator, please let it come to room temperature about 15 minutes before mixing with the warm water and sugar.
While the yeast is proofing, measure out and mix the flours and guar gum and baking powder.
Add the fresh proofed yeast to the starter and stir till mixed.
Add the yeast mixtures to the flour mixture.
Dissolve the salt in the water and add to the flour and yeast mix and stir with a rubber spatula or a wooden spoon until the dry is mixed with the wet. At this point, use your hand, coated with a drop or two of olive oil, and gather the dough into a ball.
Now it is time to use a dough board, or an Ikea tray like mine and knead the dough for 6 to 7 minutes until it becomes a smooth and supple.
Cover the dough on the tray with an inverted bowl and leave in the oven with the pilot light on or if you don't have a pilot light, let the oven warm to 170F for 15 minutes and turn off the oven. This dough gets to rise for 2 hours.
After 2 hours. I find after 1 hour I need to turn my oven on for another 15 minutes to 170F. DO REMEMBER TAKE THE DOUGH OUT OF THE OVEN UNTIL YOU TURN OFF THE OVEN. Then place the dough back in the oven to rise for 1 hour more.
After 2 hours, take out the dough and gently roll it into a log. Cut the log into 8 sections. I like to weigh the sections and mine comes out to be about 3 oz each.
Roll the dough into balls, gently, then again gently press them out into disks about 3 ½". Then make a depression about 1" diameter in the middle of each disk. Place the disks on a cookie sheet covered with parchment paper or foil sprinkled with a little rice flour or gluten free bisquick mix, cover with a piece of cling film and a dish cloth and place back in the oven for 45 minutes.
Take out the cookie sheet with the dough disks; turn the oven to 470F to preheat.
While the dough is rising, cook the diced onion in the olive oil till very lightly caramelized, golden actually. Let the onion cool till ready to use. Place about 1 T of the onions in the middle of each disk, don't worry if the onion goes beyond the depression you made, and place in the middle of the middle rack in the oven.
Bake for 12 minutes. The bialy is now ready. They are not supposed to get browned or golden. Check out the color in the picture below*. If you can only do 450F in your oven, bake the bialy for 15 minutes.
I like to cover the bialy with a kitchen towel for about 15 minutes before using. I prefer to eat this as is and when fresh from the oven with butter melting all over! But you can slather some cream cheese on top, top with scrambled egg, smoked salmon or slice of cheese. It's your bialy now and you can eat it any way you want.
Let the rest of the bialy cool under the towel. This will help the bialy stay soft. These have only a short shelf life. So after they are completely cooled, what we did not eat right away gets put in a plastic bag and frozen. I like to defrost these in the toaster just until they are not cold any more or maybe a little warm so I can melt butter on them. Or 20 seconds in the microwave.
Yummm, enjoy!
*you will see 12 on the blue Ikea tray in the picture. That was because I made 8, we ate 4 and I made 8 more slightly differently. The color you should look for is the color of the 8. If you think you would like them to be more like the 4, well go ahead, they are your bialy :)

Calling Peter Voulkos a ceramist is a bit like calling Jimi Hendrix a guitarist. The charismatic, rebellious sculptor and teacher was a genuine rock star of his medium, a trained potter who went on to violate every rule of pot-making — often before a live audience. His sculptures started out clearly enough as polite, wheel-thrown vessels but evolved into nervy and transgressive abstract paintings, looming behemoths fired in industrial-size kilns, precarious assemblages and live-wire performances (no ritual immolation but lots of smashing and dropping of plates and vases).
"Voulkos: The Breakthrough Years," a taut, electric exhibition at the Museum of Arts and Design, shows us just how quickly and deftly Voulkos (1924-2002) reinvented ceramic art. It zooms in on 1953 to 1968, a pivotal decade and a half in American painting and sculpture — not just in New York but, as is less often recognized, on the West Coast, where Voulkos worked and taught (first at the Los Angeles County Art Institute, now known as the Otis College of Art and Design, and then at the University of California, Berkeley). There, he developed a kind of "Abstract Expressionist ceramics," embraced by critics in both Artforum and Craft Horizons, and influenced outstanding painter-ceramists including Ken Price and Ron Nagle.
First, though, he was a student himself — one who respectfully mastered throwing, glazing and clay processing at college in Montana, and produced award-winning functional pottery. A display of conventionally shaped vessels from the mid-1950s shows tentative experiments with surface, including wax-resist processes borrowed from the textile arts and a "slip stencil" effect produced with liquid clay and paper cutouts. Also visible are some cross-cultural currents. (Voulkos admired the Japanese folk-craft movement known as mingei, with its emphasis on asymmetry and chance effects.)
By 1956, however, he was settled in Los Angeles and making decidedly nonfunctional "pot assemblages." With the devilish "Rocking Pot" of that year, an upside-down bowl riddled with holes and affixed to skids, he flouted the idea that a well-made piece of ceramic art should be a stable, leakproof container. A fellow ceramics teacher in Southern California coined the phrase "lift and life" to describe the qualities of an ideal pot; Voulkos responded with his own mantra, "dump and death."
His next "breakthrough" would require some technical innovation: a factory-size kiln, an industrial dough mixer and the kind of warehouse-size humidifiers used to keep fruit moist, as well as some tweaking of the clay recipe to enable monumental forms. Sharing a studio with the artist John Mason, Voulkos fired up his new equipment and made ever bigger and wilder ceramics: craggy, hulking creations like "Little Big Horn" and "Sitting Bull," which look monolithic but are actually composed of multiple wheel-thrown forms and clay slabs fitted together.
These works drew comparisons to muscular abstract paintings by Franz Kline, Jack Tworkov and others. Voulkos fostered such associations with brightly colored glazes and epoxy-based paint, and in forays into actual paint on canvas (which look oddly timid compared with his ceramics). He also started to give public demonstrations that amounted to "action painting" in clay, a practice he continued well into his career: A photograph from 1976 shows him elbow-deep in a tall vase of stacked wheel-thrown cylinders. Often, as in the 1961 vessel "Josephine," he would build up such a form only to pound it down, slash it and splatter it with slip and glaze.
The show ends on something of a precipice, with a group of "blackwares" initially exhibited in 1968 at the Quay Gallery in San Francisco. These tall, stacked vases, named for the black iron slip that gave them their deep metallic surfaces, evince a new, more restrained way of working — one influenced by Minimalism and postpainterly abstraction, and by Voulkos's evolving interest in bronze casting. They seem uncharacteristically subdued but remind us that a real sensitivity to materials and their affinities was as much a part of Voulkos's breakthroughas his performative flair.
Organized by the Museum of Arts and Design's former director Glenn Adamson with Andrew Perchuk of the Getty Research Institute and the museum's assistant curator Barbara Paris Gifford, the 30-piece exhibition is accompanied by a 208-page book that offers a more complicated and cleareyed look at Voulkos's legacy. The essayists have a lot to say about the gender dynamics that went along with the artist's macho persona and theatrics; Jenni Sorkin's "Gender and Rupture," which gives credit to Voulkos's early teachers Frances Senska and Marguerite Wildenhain, is particularly incisive.
There's less ambivalence where Voulkos's influence on the thriving field of contemporary ceramics is concerned, as is clear from a wry conversation in the catalog between the artists Mary Heilmann, who studied with Voulkos at Berkeley and continues to work in both painting and ceramics, and the talented sculptor Arlene Shechet, who was not his student but is certainly a kindred spirit (as observed in her recent show of interlaced wood and ceramics at Sikkema Jenkins and her playful rethinking of Meissen porcelain now at the Frick).
A Voulkos lesson was quite an event: Ms. Heilmann recalls that he would stride into the room in his Beatle boots, sit down at the wheel and throw a large pot, and then stumble and drop it on the floor, startling his students. "He would go 'oops!'" she remembers, and then "he would pick it up, squeeze it together, and make it into this sculpture." It was a shtick, to be sure. But it's part of the reason that artists today (from Lynda Benglis to Sterling Ruby) see ceramics as a truly open and permissive medium, fragile but never too precious.
