My older sister is getting married. My younger sister and I have the honor of throwing her bridal shower this coming weekend and her bachelorette party the following weekend. Whew!
We created the cutest invitation for her bachelorette party.

Jo Calderone: As a man, Lady Gaga's 'maleface' offended me
From wearing a dress made out of meat to adorning her face with prosthetic horns, Lady Gaga knows how to get a rise out of people. But this time she's gone too far.
The eccentric songstress opened last night's MTV Video Music Awards in character as "Jo Calderonce," Gaga's Ralph Macchio-lookalike alter-ego, during a performance of "You and I." At first, we were like, "We get it. It's a comment on gender performativity, plus a way to pay tribute to the greased-up '80s look that Gaga has apparently decided is her favorite thing ever."
But then she kept on doing it.
Even ignoring the blatant "Look at me!" selfishness of Gaga continuing the bit even when she was supposed to be paying tribute to Britney Spears, what was most offensive about the act was its sheer cartoonishness, with Gaga swaggering around stage like a bad Al Pacino impersonator. Gaga goes all out when she's trying to be a bird or an alien, but when she's a man, dinner theater makeup and some broad mugging are enough? Or is this what Gaga actually thinks guys are like?
Nate Jones is at least somewhat joking with this post. Follow him on Twitter at @kn8.

The majority of alternative energy researchers are trying to make renewable energy bigger and viagra best buy bigger. They are trying to build solar plants and wind farms that can power larger percentages of the very good site levitra soft gel grid, batteries that can hold more kilowatt-hours, and biofuels with high energy density. At the same time, there is a growing interest in capturing the small bits of energy that otherwise go to http://www.tenasys.com/canadian-online-pharmacy-viagra waste. While these technologies will never (at least for a very, very long time) provide energy for a car or household, they are still sparking development by some big names.
Such as Intel, for instance. Intel just demonstrated a system which can utilize the energy in radio waves to power small electronic devices. By using a TV antenna pointed at a radio tower 4 miles away, the Intel team was able to collect about 60 microwatts – admittedly insignificant when you are thinking on www.beverly.org the scale of kilo, mega and even terawatts – but enough to power a small device, in this case a thermometer and its LCD display.
RF technology is especially exciting when you think about pairing it up with a new generation of energy monitoring systems. Energy monitors are, like the thermometer, small computers that draw relatively small amounts of power. If that power could be "broadcast†out across many square miles from a radio source, such devices could potentially go without batteries or connection to the electric grid, thereby offering the ultimate flexibility.
Another technology that Intel is discount cialis online working on is thermoelectricity. In a nutshell, when you run an electric current through certain materials, you can make one side of order viagra without a prescription the material hot and the the best choice lowest viagra price other side cold. This works in reverse as well; if you heat up one side of the material and cool down another, an electric current will be generated.
Intel is building small thermoelectric devices to be built into their chips. By running small amounts of electricity through the devices, the thermoelectricly-cooled plates can be used as heat sinks to draw heat away from processors. It is important to cialis costs realize that, even with such devices, you still need to put in about as much energy (in electricity) as you draw out (in heat). The difference between a thermoelectric device and a fan is that, with the former, you can pinpoint the spots that generate the most heat and cialis usa thus remove it in a more efficient way.
Another thermoelectric application involves using such materials to generate electricity from otherwise useless waste heat generated by engines and other types of machinery. Komatsu, a Japanese firm that manufactures, among other things, construction equipment, is developing thermoelectric modules to capture heat from said equipment. The latest device to come out of their labs has been able to achieve a conversion efficiency of 7.2%, generating 24 watts per module, given a temperature difference of 280 degrees (C) on one side and 30 on the other.
So don't forget about small power – there are many useful ways to utilize watts, even when they are not on such lofty orders of magnitude.

It only took 105 years eh?
written by camarco, January 30, 2009
If you try to harness telecommunication waves you increase the capability of the grid ending up with telecommunication companies putting up new antennas. (well, in our case we got a letter from their lawyer first...)
If you try to use it as a power transmission device, you have terrible efficiencies (try focusing antenna propagation on a small target and you'll know why most of the wave energy will miss its target...)
So: funny gadget, but a waste of energy...

Back in the mists of time (we're talking probably 14 years ago) I 'creatively re-appropriated' a snippet of a High Llamas song into one of my own tunes. Wanting to do the honourable thing, I contacted Sean O'Hagan and played him what I'd done. I remember him being quite pleased about the whole thing and we stayed in touch, often talking about making a record together. Of course, these things always take time.
Fast-forward to now and here we are, kicking off a new series of singles on Ghost Box. It's available to pre-order now, at the Ghost Box shop.

Woodbines & Spiders
Ian from Moon Wiring Club and I have finally made a record together. Did it really take seven years to make? Yes. With the two of us involved, it was never going to be fast - the concept of rush-releasing doesn't really apply to either of us. The process was highly satisfying, though - wonderful to slowly find all the strands of the album and watch it take shape - exactly as it should be.
We've 400 years experience in the property market, so why not let us help you find your place for the summer?

The BFI and The Black Pearl.
I've had such a busy time recently and this is the project that's been at the forefront of my activities for the past month or two; creating a score for a silent film from 1908, The Black Pearl, for the British Film Institute. If you attend Vault: Music For Silent Gothic Treasures on the 14th at the BFI, you'll be able to experience it first hand. Check out the Belbury Parish Magazine for more details.
Sarah Angliss and her band Spacedog are in charge of curation (as well as composing and playing live) and invited me to create some studio music for the event. It's been a very interesting experience; the stencil-coloured film seemed to suggest working texturally, building up from base textures, to outlines, to filling in. I created sounds of glass, various woods and metals. The process became intense at times (and sometimes interfered with my sleep patterns, as I kept thinking of textures and structures to go with certain sequences in the film) so I made a lot of notes when I wasn't sitting directly in front of the visuals.
Creating music is a never-ending process of changes to approach and the process seems to be as malleable as sound itself.

The beautiful seaside and spa resort of Santa Cesarea Terme lies on a stretch of the Adriatic Coast in southern Italy, famed for its prehistoric caves, natural woods and lush meadows. The area is a favourite haunt of nature lovers and forms part of a protected regional coastal park. Santa Cesarea Terme sits on a rocky outcrop overlooking the sea and is famous for its natural springs. These are the biggest attractions: visitors come from all over the world to bathe in its sulphur-rich thermal waters and curative muds. The town itself is an attractive location with seafront promenades lined with cafés, shops and restaurants.
To help guests unwind in style and keep them close to the main sights, HomeAway has a wonderful selection of apartments and holiday villas in Santa Cesarea Terme. These are beautifully furnished and come with good facilities such as washing machines, freezers and coffee makers, and benefit from excellent locations in town or the surrounding countryside. There are Santa Cesarea Terme holiday apartments that are close to the sea and enjoy gorgeous views. For families after beach holidays there are some wonderful sandy expanses in the neighbouring resorts of Otranto and Castro Marina as well as a good selection of rental properties.
-Relaxation: By far the biggest reason that travellers rent Santa Cesarea Terme holiday apartments is the town's thermal baths situated in four grottos. The mineral rich warm waters are believed by some to cure skin and joint ailments, and respiratory diseases. Massages, mud baths, hot humid inhalations and cosmetic treatments are also available at some of the spa centres.
-Outdoors: The Santa Cesarea Terme area is blessed by nature. Within a few kilometres of the town tourists will find the Grotto Romanelli and Grotto Zinzulusa with its sparkling waters and stalactite and stalagmite formations. Also nearby is the Porto Badisco coastal park that charms with its unspoiled nature, superb beaches and snorkelling opportunities. According to mythology the Trojan hero Aeneas landed here after fleeing Troy.
-Architecture: During the late 19th century and early 20th century members of the upper class and aristocracy from Salento used to holiday here. They have left a rich architectural legacy with Art Nouveau and Art Deco manors and Moorish influenced homes with domes and ornate balconies.
-Nightlife: Santa Cesarea Terme has a good collection of restaurants, cafés and inns that serve regional and international cuisines. Many stay open until late and offer sea views which are magnificent when there is a full moon. The many warm evenings allow for al fresco dining for much of the year.
-Fiestas: Santa Cesarea Terme is situated in Puglia, a region known for its fresh produce and gourmet specialities. Every Easter the resort hosts a festival dedicated to cuddrura, a deep-fried sweet. Though usually made at home it can be found in some of Santa Cesarea Terme's bakeries.
The climate around Santa Cesarea Terme apartments is Mediterranean, with hot summers full of sunshine and mild winters. The hottest months of the year are June, July and August where the temperatures sit somewhere between 30°C and 35°C. The coldest months are from November to February where the average daily temperatures can drop to between 10°C and 15°C. Even in the wetter winter months the rainfall is relatively low.
The closest airport to Santa Cesarea Terme is Pepola – Casale airport in Brindisi. From there holidaymakers can rent a car or take the shuttle to Lecce City Terminal. Once there, local buses will bring them to Santa Cesarea Terme, at a distance of 47 kilometres away. Guests can also arrive in Lecce by train and then take the bus, rent a car or hire a taxi to reach holiday villas in Santa Cesarea Terme.

Viggo Mortensen
- Hollywood's most elusive star December 22, 2005, 6:46:58 By Philip Hamilton. Despite starring in three of the most talked about movies in recent years, 'Lord of the Rings' star
Viggo Mortensen
tries his best to shun the fame game - you'd be more likely to see him at a poetry reading than gallivanting round Beverley Hills with a model on his arm. With his rugged good looks and star quality, the actor could have quite easily fallen into the trap of becoming tabloid fodder like many stars before him. But he is notoriously cagey about his private life and considers any discussion of his own romantic affairs as "not pertinent." However, there is no doubting that the 47-year-old has a colourful love life and speculation about the women in his life has been rife since the break-up of his marriage to punk singer and mother of his 16-year-old son, Henry, Exene Cervenka, in 1997. As well as starring opposite some of Hollywood's most beautiful women, including Liv Tyler,
Gwyneth Paltrow
and Demi Moore, Viggo has been linked to a string of beauties off-screen. Viggo has remained tight-lipped about his romances but it seems not all girls are bowled over by the handsome actor. In 2003, he was dumped by 22-year-old Lola Achnabel, his girlfriend of two years, because he reportedly didn't wash enough and liked to go away for extended periods without telling anyone where he's going. He admits that his sometimes erratic behaviour and lack of communication has, in the past, caused friction with his ex-wife and son. During the filming of one movie, Viggo decided to get into character by not speaking for four weeks - not even to his family. He said: "Because my son at the time was about eight years old, I faxed my ex-wife and said, 'I'm not going to be speaking for a while, but I will call. And can you put Henry on the phone?' So I'd call and she'd say, 'Hi Viggo, how are you?' and I would be silent." However peculiar his behaviour may sound, this is Viggo's way of getting into character and once he starts acting, everything else takes second place - even if he injures himself. During the filming of 'Lord Of The Rings', the Hollywood heartthrob broke one of his front teeth while shooting a violent scene in New Zealand. But he was so determined to carry on filming he even suggested using Superglue to fix the tooth so the shoot wouldn't be held up. His serious approach to the characters he plays means that he often becomes too involved with the parts he portrays. In the vigorous sex scene in 'A History of Violence', Viggo and his co-star
Maria Bello
didn't have body doubles and ended up with bruises from the rampant romping. He revealed: "The process of working on it with her was awkward to perform, because we did it right. Maria didn't play it safe and was willing, as difficult as it was, to go for it and to risk making a fool of herself. I was also willing to make a fool of myself and so it worked well in the end. The scene goes on for longer than you would normally see, certainly in an American movie. The power position shifts and the jockeying for position is interesting emotionally, as well as the physical aspect." Viggo is so dedicated to his craft that he is eager to thank the people that helped put him where he is today - his fans. But the more successful his acting career becomes, the less time he has to answer fan mail. He said: "I always, until just the last year, opened, read and then answered each one. And if I'm going to do it, that's the way it should be done. But I realised I was spending two to three hours every night. One night, I just thought, this is ridiculous." However, when given the opportunity he makes sure he doesn't forget his fans and signs autographs in person - even if it means scribbling for nine hours at bookstore signings. Since his screen debut as a young Amish Farmer in Peter Weir's 'Witness' in 1985, Viggo's career has been marked by a steady string of compelling performances. Critics have continually recognised his work in over thirty movies, including such diverse projects as Jane Campion's 'The Portrait of a Lady (1996), Sean Penn's 'The Indian Runner (1991), Brian De Palma's 'Carlito's Way' (1993), Ridley Scott's 'G.I. Jane' (1997), Tony Scott's 'Crimson Tide' (1995), Andrew Davis' 'A Perfect Murder' (1998) and Tony Goldwyn's 'A Walk on the Moon' (1999). He is now working on new movie 'Alatriste, due for release in 2006, in which he plays Spanish soldier-turned-mercenary Captain Alatriste, a veteran of Spain's 17th century imperial wars.
http://www.femalefirst.co.uk/entertainment/95762004.htm David Cronenberg's On Set Public Sex Scenes September 27, 2005, 7:24:15 CRONENBERG'S PUBLIC SEX Eccentric film-maker
shocked his cast and crew on the set of new movie A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE, by publicly performing sex scenes with his wife. The director hoped his explicit displays of affection with his wife would help stars
and MARIA BELLO, who play man and wife in the film, feel more comfortable during their sex scenes together. But, instead, the Cronenbergs just left everyone on the set stunned. THE LORD OF THE RINGS star Mortensen says, "There's a couple of fairly racy sex scenes in the movie... between
Maria Bello
and myself. David, trying to be helpful, as usual, thought it might be a good idea to call up his wife and have her come down to the set. "The crew and Maria and I just sat and watched while he and his wife got into something comfortable - nothing - and they started to say, 'We want you to (do this).' Maria and I were both going, 'OK, we get it.' "This is a testament to their relationship, they kept going and they kept going and then we broke for lunch and some time in the evening Maria and I got to have a crack at it. "Instead of putting us at ease, we actually were kind of freaked out... Maybe some things ought to stay private."

were left battered and bruised after shooting a hard-hitting sex scene on a wooden stairwell in the new David Cronenberg film, "A History of Violence." The couple, who play husband and wife in the gritty drama, spent weeks preparing for and talking about the scene, but had no idea it would leave them in so much pain. Bello reveals, "I was covered from head to toe in black and blue and red bruises -- Viggo, too. His whole hip and his elbow was swollen. I bit the inside of his lip and it was swollen for, like, two days. "We really committed to the scene and couldn't help but get physical. I was really in pain after that scene. "There's a scene in the movie where I have a bruise on my back -- that was filmed three weeks later. "Emotionally, it was very tough, too. I've been, in my life, such a control freak, and, in my work, I always question how things are going to work I talk about a scene for hours. "For this, David (Cronenberg) simply said, 'Maria, you can't control this one.' The scene is about her finally losing control and she comes out with this animal instinct; a desire and a passion that she never knew existed before."

http://jam.canoe.ca/Movies/2005/05/17/1043015.html Cronenberg's film shocks Cannes By BRUCE KIRKLAND -- Toronto Sun CANNES, France -- Atom Egoyan wowed the Cannes Film Festival with a lot of sex and a little violence in his film-noirish Where The Truth Lies. Now fellow Canadian David Cronenberg is shocking the festival with a little sex and a lot of violence in his drama, A History Of Violence. "Well," the bemused Cronenberg told a Cannes press conference yesterday as his operatic action film made its world premiere in competition last night, "sex and violence have always gone very well together. It's like bacon and eggs. "And, if you look at the history of cinematic violence, you will see, I think, that there is always a sexual component in violence and there is a violent component in sexuality. So, to me, that is just a natural thing to explore." Cronenberg, like Egoyan, is a Toronto filmmaker. The Canadian films in the 2005 competition have had a huge impact with their controversial yet rigourously thought-out content. Cronenberg's shows what happens to an idealized midwestern American family after the father (Viggo Mortensen) kills two thugs who terrorize his diner. The man's lawyer wife, played by
Maria Bello
, is at first concerned and then shocked by how events spin out of control, including with more violence, after the incident. Even their sex life changes, entering a dangerous new phase. Mortensen said he respects how both Peter Jackson and Cronenberg explore themes of violence. "It's a tool," Mortensen said of the violence his characters employ in both The Lord Of The Rings (Aragorn) and in A History Of Violence. "It's a learned skill that they have, that they have needed to use. In neither case, and certainly not in this movie, is it glamourized (or) made to look particularly beautiful. To me, it's a movie about other things." Those "things" include issues about authority and family as well as secrets and lies. Cronenberg said a filmmaker does have a responsibility when depicting violence, especially extreme violence. But it is not in a cliched way just to protect audiences. "The responsibility is to the art form ... Your first fidelity is to the film itself. You are trying to realize the potential of the ." Cronenberg said he's tired of critics who charge that violence in movies promotes violence in society. "Do people kill people when they see people killed on screen? I think if that were true, the world would be de-populated. "What we did in this movie, (in terms of) violence, is ultra-responsible because it's a serious discussion of the nature of violence and the impact it has on society and family and human life, and on human bodies as well."
http://entertainment.news.com.au/story/0,10221,12709849-7485,00.html Hawke's hot role By Steven Rea March 31, 2005 ETHAN Hawke has no Hollywood game plan, bar keeping it independent ... and interesting. There's something kind of pleasing about working inside these genres," says Ethan Hawke, who stars as a shell-shocked police sarge in the gleefully generic Assault On Precinct 13. "It's like jazz musicians, taking a very familiar, very commercial tune - say, Jingle Bells - and then you put a spin on it. You know exactly how it's going to work. You just have to riff around it." Jingle Bells is a good example, since Assault on Precinct 13 - a remake of John Carpenter's 1976 police station siege pic - is set at the end of the Christmas holiday week, on New Year's Eve. Hawke is the top gun in an all-but deserted Detroit police station, sharing the graveyard shift with
Drea De Matteo
's oversexed secretary and an over-the-hill beat cop (Brian Dennehy). Then a bus full of bad guys - among them Laurence Fishburne, John Leguizamo and Ja Rule - is diverted to the station, and
Maria Bello
, who plays Hawke's shrink, shows up too. Gabriel Byrne chews up scenery as a tainted police detective. And then all hell breaks loose. "I knew of John Carpenter's movie," says Hawke about the original Assault, which had a cast led by the unforgettable Austin Stoker, Darwin Joston and Laurie Zimmer (Who, who and who?). "I'd seen it when I was younger, then never even really watched it again." So when director Jean-Francois Richet and producer/writer James DeMonaco came along, Hawke sat and talked, and then read the . "I was looking to do something fun, something that didn't take itself too seriously. I had a real good time working on Training Day and I was seeing if I could follow up that genre." In some ways, Hawke's character, Jake Roenick, can be seen as the what-could-have-happened continuation of his Training Day role the new kid riding with the rogue LA narc (played by Denzel Washington in an Oscar-winning performance). As Assault on Precinct 13 begins, Hawke is once again undercover, consorting with dealers, worried about the lives of his team. "In a way, it could have been a sequel," he notes. "If Jake was sitting in a precinct house outside of LA instead of Detroit ... it could easily be where this guy had ended up. "But all that is hindsight. Truth is, it was an entertaining and I liked the part." Hawke, 34, admits that he's begun to "daydream" and jot down notes for his next novel (he's published two). And he recently finished up work on Lord Of War, with Nicolas Cage, Jared Leto and
Bridget Moynahan
. Andrew Niccol, who cast Hawke opposite
Uma Thurman
in 1997's Gattaca, wrote and directed the tale of gun-runners in Africa. "In a simplistic way, it's a portrait of the devil," says Hawke of the film, slated for a mid-year release. "It answers the question: how do X million people die in Rwanda and in the Congo and Sierra Leone? Well, somebody sells them AK-47s. From Sunny Oz, Rick :) Proud Keeper of the talented & beautiful
Halle Berry
. "Who is it that sells them? It's these guys that go to the poorest places in the world and sell arms to both sides of a dispute and then leave town. "It's kind of a fascinating expose." Hawke, who plays a UN official in Lord Of War, is also looking to getting a pet project, Billy Dead, off the ground. "It's based on the novel by Lisa Reardon. It's a very dark, weird little family drama ... I've been trying to get the movie made for years, but it doesn't seem to be one that is really capturing the financiers' attention."
http://www.smh.com.au/news/Film/Escaping-the-Matrix/2005/03/31/1111862522797 .html?oneclick=true Escaping the Matrix By Phillip McCarthy April 1, 2005 You might not think that a searing 1997 French movie about proletarian unrest in Paris would have a lot in common with an American western such as Howard Hawks's 1959 classic, Rio Bravo. In the end, though, they're both about stand-offs. That French film, Jean-Francois Richet's Crack City, pitted Gallic blue-collar heroes against the privileged in the same way that John Wayne faced down the powerful landowners in the Hawks film. That's how Richet came to direct Assault on Precinct 13. Despite the director's nationality, the film is otherwise an all-American reworking of the much-imitated Rio Bravo scenario. The new film wasn't the first time Hollywood has tried to re-animate the Rio Bravo story with a contemporary twist. John Carpenter went there in 1976 with a movie also named Assault on Precinct 13. In both the Precinct 13 movies, the action amounts to a last stand between corrupt police brass and a beleaguered coalition of good cops and their criminal charges. In the new version, the bad police elite must kill a criminal (Laurence Fishburne) before he exposes them in court. Fishburne forms an uneasy alliance with the troubled station chief, Ethan Hawke, to fight them off. "Because Jean-Francois is French I don't think he was particularly concerned about being political correct and pulling his punches on hot-button American issues like race or drugs," Fishburne says. "Which is why I think the film is very honest and very unstinting." The biggest change is the location: Carpenter's original was set in sunny Los Angeles, while the new version takes place in wintry Detroit. Rio Bravo takes place in a Texas. The films even share substance-abuse issues. In Rio Bravo, Dean Martin is a drunk. In the new film, John Leguizamo's character, Richter, is whacked out on crystal meth. "There's a big difference between someone on heroin, or even cocaine, and someone on crystal meth," Leguizamo says. "They're much jumpier, tweakier on crystal, so it was a matter of some pride to me that I got the specific drug reaction down authentically." Similarly, Hawke's character is seriously damaged goods. Jake has been sent to the Siberia of Precinct 13 because of an undercover meth-dealing sting that went badly wrong. He's in such a mess that his glamorous shrink from police headquarters (
Maria Bello
) is at the station when all hell breaks loose and she has to learn to shoot. Quickly. Fishburne became the embodiment of big-screen altriusm after helping save humanity as Morpheus in the three Matrix movies. Did he think it was time to play another bad guy? "I've played a lot of characters like him," Fishburne says. "I've done some gangsters and I've done some cops, but I hadn't played this guy. And he's the silent type. At the beginning everyone in the precinct is trying to figure out what is going on and he's the only one who's got it figured out. "Obviously, after The Matrix, it was a case of, 'OK, I did that. What's next?' I mean, it's always like that, but more so this time. How do I change it up? How do I keep it interesting for myself? Well, don't do the same old shit again. "You can't go looking for another one of those franchises. You only ever get one of those. You get Stars Wars, you get Indiana Jones or get The Matrix. I've had my franchise." Assault of Precinct 13 was shot in Toronto because of the cheaper Canadian dollar. It didn't help the budget either that the director was a relatively unknown Frenchman. "But you know what?" Fishburne says. "Anyone who saw Crack City would know that Jean-Francois was going to be perfect for this job. This film is not an art picture. It's an action movie. It's fun, kind of sexy and kind of cool." Fishburne describes Crack City as "the angriest movie I had ever seen". "And I thought, 'I don't know if this is a great movie. But I sure felt something.' It certainly made me think that doing this one would be a trip." From Sunny Oz, Rick :) Proud Keeper of the talented & beautiful

For Immediate Release: September 12, 2013
Contact: Conor Smyth, 608-266-2991, email@example.com
MADISON - J.H. Findorff & Son, a Madison commercial contractor, received the "Futuremakers Partner Award" from the Wisconsin Technical College System (WTCS) Board during its bimonthly meeting Tuesday, Sept. 10 at Madison College.
Drew Petersen, president of the WTCS Board, presented the award to Findorff Chair Richard Lynch and Senior Project Manager John Feller.
"Madison College has benefitted from a long-standing relationship with Findorff that demonstrates the significant advantages of public-private collaboration to prepare workers with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed," Petersen said.
Findorff's project managers and tradespeople serve on Madison College's advisory boards for construction-related trades. The company partners with Madison College for the employment and training of apprentices and hires graduates from the college as well. In fact, of the hundreds of Findorff employees and subcontractors involved in the construction of new and renovated college facilities at the regional and Madison campuses, more than 35 percent received training at Madison College.
In addition to providing exceptional customer service during past and recent construction projects for the College, Findorff has contributed $25,000 to advance the skilled trades through student scholarships and other donations.
About the System:
The Wisconsin Technical College System (WTCS) offers more than 300 programs awarding two-year associate degrees, one- and two-year technical diplomas and short-term technical diplomas and certificates. In addition, the System is the major provider of customized training and technical assistance to Wisconsin's business and industry community. Nearly 370,000 individuals access the technical colleges for education and training each year.

If you decide to bank or donate your baby's cord blood, arrangements must be made before you deliver the baby.
After the baby is born, the physician or midwife will drain the blood remaining in the placenta into a sterile, labeled bag. The collection is painless. No blood is taken from the baby.
If you agree to donate your baby's cord blood, you will be asked to:
Donating cord blood will not change your labor or delivery in any way. During delivery, all the focus is on you and your baby. No blood is ever taken from your baby, only from the cord and placenta after the baby is born and the umbilical cord has been cut.
Almost any family can donate their baby's cord blood. Both mom and baby must be healthy, with no history of infectious disease and it must be a single birth (meaning not twins or triplets).
There is no cost to you when you donate cord blood to a public cord blood bank.
The cord blood bank keeps your names confidential; it protects the privacy of the donating family. Names are not shared with any patient or transplant center. The baby's cord blood is identified by number, never by name.
Donated cord blood is available for use by anyone who needs it. If the cord blood is in the bank, it would be available for a member of the donating family who is in need of a transplant. Keep in mind that the cord blood might not be a good tissue match even though the patient is related to the baby.
For a transplant to be successful, the tissue type of the donor needs to match the patient's as closely as possible. The likelihood of a close match between any two people (even family members) is very small. A large number of banked cord blood units increases the likelihood that a match will be found for a specific person.
Tissue types are inherited so people are more likely to match someone who shares their racial or ethnic heritage. Stem cells of African Americans, Asians, Hispanics and Native Americans are in very short supply. Increasing the number of units from these families will improve the odds that a match will be found for people of African American, Asian, Hispanic, Native American or mixed descent.

Winder Stairs: Traditional and Modern
Winder stairs are those that have wedge-shaped steps turning a corner where you'd normally see a landing. They are squeezed in when space is tight and they're normally spotted in small, cottage homes. We generally associate them with traditional wood construction, like the stair above. But check out the truly modern winder stair after the jump...
This modern winder by Caliper Studio is fabricated of bent steel plate. By code, winders are only allowed in residential construction. Would you put a stair like this in your home to save stair space, or do you see those wedge-shaped steps as an accident waiting to happen? Top photo: Virginia MacDonald

I've always liked this style of stairs! I went to school in St. Augustine, FL and many of the homes in the area are quite old, with narrow stairs, and you'd find these there. They remind me of something cozy, as if I might find a dormer window with a seat at the top. :)
Unfortunately, I think many city building codes are now very strict about the size and way winder stairs can be built. You know ADA, safety and all that.
That's too bad however, because they are really beautiful (if not always practical) - just try moving furniture up and down some of the older intensely winding and narrow ones or running down them at 2 in the morning to try to get to the bathroom in time. Not fun.
Chicago allows them, but BOCA/IBC require a minimum tread depth of 6" typically.
I grew up with two flights of winder stairs in my house, and to be perfectly honest, I never thought twice about it until today. My house was old and small, and both staircases had those wedge-shaped stairs. They seemed to work out fine for us. You usually walk up the outside by the railing anyways, where the stairs are wide. I think it actually makes it faster to get upstairs without the landing in the middle.
Nice for the hale and hearty. Those of us with walking disabilities of any kind (or heavy armoires for the second floor -- a recent issue for me) don't think they are attractive enough for the hazard they provide. Spiral stairs are the same problem...
That looks like a long flight for that pup to the kibble bowl.
Having pets I would not move into a place with this type of stairs. I had carpeted stairs the only carpet in the place and dogs with short legs and long backs can develop serious problems. One of my JRT's backs went out.
I never knew these were called winder stairs before now but we do have these type of stairs in our home with 2 narrow windows, one on west wall & one on north wall, at the corner turn area. It was a space issue but our carpenter came up with the winder stair plan and we loved how it turned out. The steps are 42" wide so we have no navigation problems. The turn area has enough room to fit a plant (a 34" Norfolk Pine) in the corner which gets plenty of light from the approx 15x33 windows.
oh, cool! now i know what our apartments stairs called. never knew they had a name. i'm always afraid I'll step on the narrow edge of the stair and slip or something..
my parents have these. Most people creep down them one foot at a time. It takes a while getting used to running up and down.
winders are great space savers but they are very $$$ to construct and take great skill...just ask any contractor.
also as commenters have noted above, bldg codes make it very difficult in many situations. you need more room than you think.
With my new bi-focals going down any stair now is a challenge. They have their purpose but I couldn't imagine dealing with winders on a daily basis.
i live in a 130 year old mansion in minneapolis- we were told our winder stairs were not up to code and would have to be replaced... luckily they never followed through on the threat!
Hmm. I have these at the bottom of my stairs. Never really gave them a second though.
In my area winders are legal as long as you don't exceed 90 degrees between floors. Apparently a study was done and they're less of a tripping hazard than landings because you don't have to change the pattern of your stride. And as a contractor my opinion would be that if your carpenter is charging way more to build winders then he either is gypping you or he's unsure of his abilities. Winders really aren't that difficult to construct.
Those steel stairs look difficult to build though.
no no no...I had these when I was in university, they took on the nickname "suicide stairs" after several people fell down them. Where I live now they're illegal to build. I guess if they were wider they might be ok...but mine were narrow and pretty dangerous.
I've lived in a home with them - they can be catchy if you aren't paying attention coming down the stairs. They are a good space saver - but not always so practical.
In my old house (built 1890), the back stairs going to the kitchen were like this, but steeper and narrower. The bottom step lifted up, too - a secret compartment! My "new" house (built 1880) had been remodeled so alas... no back stairs, but now there's a powder room on the 1st floor - so - WIN!
We've got winder stairs in my apartment building. Most of the time they're fine, but hauling furniture up them is really dangerous.

Apple OS X 10.5.7 overheats some Macs
Robert Black was right. OS X 10.5.7 adversely affects the internal heat management of some iMacs (and apparently also some MacBooks), causing the machines to overheat. Overheating, in turn, leads to such problems as freezes during iCal sync; freezes during iTunes sync; and the inability of attached hard drives to complete a backup.
I confirmed this by installing smcFanControl and watching my Mac get hotter and hotter as it tried to complete a SuperDuper backup. Disk Utility confirmed nothing was wrong with the attached drive. Swapping cables proved a faulty cable was not to blame for previous failed backups. Maddeningly, the backup got within 4GB of completion before locking up due to the overheating of my iMac.
Not every iMac or MacBook is affected. It probably varies by factory run and by model. (My MacBook Pro, for instance, is fine.) Third-party stuff and Migration vs. Tabula Rasa System Install seems to have no bearing on whether or not your Mac will choke on the update.
Since even running smcFanControl at settings recommended by Robert Black and others doesn't cool the iMac enough to finish a backup or verify the quality of the attached drives, it may not make sense to replace my external hard drives (as new drives will likely also fail as the iMac overheats during backup).
With smcFanControl in place, I can use my iMacs but not back them up.
Apple needs to release an update that fixes the hardware problems this one created.
(And someone else needs to install it before I do.)

My maxed out (as of November) unibody 15″ macbook pro has been running hot since the update too. If I play any online video, the fans get going. Did this before, if I was using the better graphics processor, but not with the lower end processor. Now it does it using either one. Vimeo is unwatchable now too, constantly stuttering – but it was fine before the update.
Alan Bristow said on 6 June 2009 at 11:26 am:
A bit desperate, but could you rig up a Heath Robinson-like external room fan, so it's output was blowing into the bottom punched-grill of the iMac.
With air being 'pushed' in, it may stay cooler for longer and allow a backup?
Good luck.
Steve said on 6 June 2009 at 11:26 am:
Argh! I have a 17″ Macbook Pro 2.33 GHz Core 2 Duo and over the last week or so it's been running much, much hotter than normal. Since the OS/X 10.5.7 update in fact… Just opening Photoshop or watching a video on YouTube is enough to get the fans going. To date I haven't experienced any freezing or crashes, aside from attempting to copy/paste a huge MySQL Export out of Firefox into BBEdit which was probably not a smart idea anyway. Apple, please fix this ASAP, I don't want to have to buy a laptop cooler!
Does anyone know if there's any potential problems for the components and internals from running at these elevated temperatures?
Dan B. Lee said on 6 June 2009 at 11:37 am:
Man. Sour towards Mac all of a sudden Zeldman? Second post as of late warning of Mac issues.
This one hits me closer to home, considering I've had heating issues with my MacBook and actually lost a hard drive to it. Might be my fault; I treat my MacBook horribly and upgraded to a HD that spins faster (therefore hotter) than manufacture default. I could understand heating issues with third party software. But there's no excuse for iCal or iTunes. Regardless, I'd really like some numbers rather than having to decide what "many people" means to you.
Any reports? Any studies? Any hard numbers pertaining to how many people are actually having these issues with their machines? I'm googling at the moment and I'll reply if I find anything.

Since updating to 10.5.7, my MBP is:
-running super hot
-my iPhone won't sync with iTunes in the new OS, and
-my laptop battery life sucks (the battery is less than a year old, and I'm just realizing that it's really taken a nose dive since the update).
Thanks for pointing out this issue.
Mine is 2.33 GHz model, bought in Oct. '06, fyi.

@ dan lee:
back off, fanboy!
stop insinuating bad faith just cuz someone is pointing out the obvious: QA at apple is almost as bad as for the PC!
the simple fact is that the web is crawling with complaints about this ridiculous over-beating!
my mpb (c1d) is running at 100C! …and hangs.
(I have also seen 10.5.7 repeatedly hang on an otherwise icey-cool mabook – but i surmise that the unibody case is such a great design that I suspect it's external topside temp doesn't closely reflect the CPU temp the way the previous chasis did).
mitigating factors:
* spring weather means an ample supply of cool air for favourable ambient conditions.
* external room fan at close range seems to let the CPU run at 100C while the rest of the machine can disapate enough heat to prevent the CPU from choking.
* running smcfan (thanx for the tip powerpage!) at full tilt (6000rpm) can knock off 20-40C from idle conditions (which provides cle
enough extra head-room for the CPU at full utilization, again presuming it is clearing out the "easy" heat from the other components).
* CPU utilization reduced by 20% when high-bandwidth USB peripherals (eg elgato turboHD) runs directly from mobo instead of through a (high-quality) hub!? – obviously anything that uses less CPU also uses less power.

You're ABSOLUTELY right.
After 10.5.7 upgrade, I was lucky to get 15 minutes out of my iMac 24″ before a complete freeze.
I tried everything to fix it. Strangely, SafeBooting worked fine (no freezes) so I assumed there was an incompatible extension or startup somewhere. I spent three days juggling startups and extensions to NO avail.
In near desperation, I tried Fan Control System Preference, setting it to the minimum upper and lower Temp Thresholds.
I haven't had a lockup since (over a week of very heavy use). The max temperature remains below 100 F / 38 C.

Hi Jeffrey
Wow… Glad something I said proved useful!
If you're not doing so already, try using Firewire 800 with your backups. At least the backup will go faster, meaning there's a chance it will get to the end. Secondly, if you're using SuperDuper (which I highly recommend), make your mirror backups 'Smart Update' backups, so it only copies what's needed to make the volumes the same (the delta, if you will). That way, if your backup doesn't finish, you can pretty much pickup where you left off when the machine's cooled down.
SuperDuper's Smart Update is just that – smart. So it's no worse than a full mirror backup. Make use of it.
Good luck

On my Macbook (new aluminum) fans running all the time after update, checked activity monitor and Safari 4 was taking 100% + of the CPU non stop. So, for me it appears that 5.7 and Safari 4 are having issues and Safari is causing the CPU to heat up. Also, noticed in the files open under the Activity Monitor that the flash plugins were loaded. That reminded me of the many complaints on the web regarding the mac version of flash…
Robert Black said on 7 June 2009 at 8:30 am:
Hi Jeffrey
BTW, my smcFanControl settings work for me, but you'll need to experiment a little to see what works for you. Don't be afraid to set the threashold higher for the CPU and HDD fans if you're still overheating. Where I am it's winter – where you are it's summer. So your fans will probably have to work harder to keep the internals cool.
Hopefully there'll be a better fix before we change seasons again.
Good luck!

After updating to 10.5.7 before seeing this thread I've been experiencing much of the same issues. My software update doesn't seem to list the "temperature regulation firmware routines" mentioned above. I'm using smc right now but would prefer an Apple fix. Is there any means of forcing this to appear in software update or anywhere else I can get it?
I'm running on an early 2008 20″ 2.66ghz iMac with 4 GB of RAM and a 320 GB HDD.
Very frustrating experience and the overheating seemed to affect the Windows side as well. I couldn't boot into it at all after OS X started to continually freeze but when I let it sit and cool down for an hour I could get into both no problem.
My question is: Do I have to do anything in Vista when I reinstall it to make sure that it also doesn't overheat?
Aaron said on 15 June 2009 at 4:48 pm:
I run "Fan Control" on my MacBook Pro, and smcFanControl on my iMac. I set the fan settings to keep the computers as cool as possible, even before the 10.5.7 upgrade. It just makes sense — cooler computers last longer.
Chris Carabott said on 15 June 2009 at 5:57 pm:
The only reason I worry about running the fan speed too high is that I'm concerned that it will shorten their life span. The default for the HDD appears to be at about 1200 RPM and since the 10.5.7 update I've had to run it at 3027 to keep it at a decent temperature.
Richard Piggins said on 15 June 2009 at 6:07 pm:
My G5 has shut down twice recently and now I realize the fan has been making more noise lately so I guess it is running hot. I find this totally bizare.
Never had anything like this before. I am running 10.5.7.
Is there a solution?

I'm still playing with some of the tricks above to fix it.
But I thought I would share one of my own.
If you have a laptop that is overheating while you try to do some work…..try holding it in front of the air conditioner…..and working at the same time.
I just happened to install mine on Sat. And and I was trying to reinstall the OS, the PB G4 kept freezing on me. So I decided to stand in front of the AC…..holding the laptop and installing the OS. That worked!!!
Still getting crashing though! ARGH!!!
Will keep you posted.

After having made sure the update was installed correctly (reboot in Safe Mode, install via "10.5.7 Combo" file) I decided to try an "Archive and Install" with the OS X DVD to rollback the OS X version. I'll then install the last known good update (10.5.6) and see how it goes…
You'd think that if an all volunteer, open-source project like Debian Linux can find the resources to do proper regression testing of OS updates, that Apple could as well :/

I noticed the same issue with my first gen macbook pro.
After searching the interwebs I came across 2 subjects that helped resolving my heat/stability issue. The first one was to upgrade again from 10.5.6 to 10.5.7 by using the combo update and performing it in single user mode, and the second and most notable one was replacing the cooling past. Cleaning up the badly applied paste on the thermal conductor reduced the heat issue with 25%. Initially after applying the 10.5.7 patch and replacing the cooling paste the system stability still resulted in random shutdown while performing a Disk permission check, this disappeared after a reboot (the system seems stable now and comparing temperatures between 10.5.6 and 10.5.7 results in the same readings under similar load). End result, before the above procedure the CPU temp was some where around 90 and 120 degrees Celsius it now doesn't get higher than 80 degrees while under heavy load. Hope this helps some one.

Hi Jeffrey,
My excuses for not being clear.
I was referring to the thermal cooling paste that gets applied to the heat sink that sits on top of the GPU and CPU (much the same as what you would do if you upgrade a CPU on a x86 system. (sorry for my bad choice in English words but I thought that's the correct term to use).
So I had to take apart my macbook pro in order to complete this procedure and it took about 1h to do so with the correct screw driver set . Mine is out of warranty any way and was quite desperate to get this heat issue resolved.
Sorry to hear that your combo update didn't fix it. I noticed a definite change between the live update (whish crashed) and the offline combo update. I have to mention that re applying the combo update on a failed 10.5.7 didn't result in any improvements, I had to go back to 10.5.6 (I made a backup of 10.5.6 prior of upgrading to 10.5.7) and do the update.
If the above would have failed on me I would have continued with cleaning out the system caches and performing an SMC reset.

It's frustrating that there has been no mention of a fix on Apple's end. My iMac 2.66ghz (early 2008) is running smoothly for a while under smcfancontrol but I've noticed that my Vista partition is labouring no matter what the condition of the fans. This has me worried that overheating has caused damage to the hard drive.

I've been holding off with installing the 10.5.7 on my aluminum iMac, but now we have 10.5.8 available.
Does it change anything when it comes to overheating?
Is the issue resolved?
I don't see spinning the fans harder a viable, long-term solution.

Thanks a TON for posting/blogging about this issue. While my black MacBook was never as affected as your MacBook Pro, it's definitely run a lot hotter with 10.5.7.
I'm installing 10.5.8 this weekend, and hope to see the same results you've had!

Thanks for the post,
As I am new to using Mac in general, I have had my Macbook for about a month or so. I do find that it gets warmer than a PC in general, but I have had no problems with it over-heating as of yet.
Its kind of a pain when computers act up.. I know.
Good luck.

Glad you've been watching this. I'll try the update and hopefully cut the cord between my AC window unit and the back of my Mac.

Jeff, I've had great success with undervolting my 2.33Ghz Core 2 Duo 15″ MacBook Pro by using CookBookController.
What it does is allow you to test for stable voltages lower than the defaults for your computer's various speed steps. Instead of running at 1.18v at 2.33GHz, this allows you to set it to something lower. Lower voltage = lower temperatures and longer battery life. I have been able to drop mine to 1.0875v at full throttle.
It's not free at $10, but is one of the best ways I've spent $10 on my Mac:

My iMac seems to be significantly cooler a few days after installing 10.5.8.

|Measuring supersymmetry
|D. Zerwas1
|Supersymmetry is an attractive extension of the standard model of particle physics. It associates to every bosonic degree of freedom a fermionic one and vice versa. Supersymmetry unifies the coupling constants of the electromagnetic, weak and strong forces at a high scale and provides a candidate for the elusive dark matter. Supersymmetry could be discovered at the LHC, the proton--proton collider at CERN which has started operations in 2008. The LHC is foreseen to have a center--of--mass energy of 14~TeV, opening up a new mass range to be explored to search for supersymmetric particles with the ATLAS and CMS experiments. The development and production of electronics for these detectors has been a challenge, e.g. for the readout board for the electromagnetic calorimeter. Reconstructing the physics events with the best precision, in particular the reconstruction and identification of electrons and photons in the large QCD background has been prepared in extensive test beam studies and Monte Carlo simulations. If the Higgs boson and supersymmetry are discovered, the properties of the (s)particles such as the masses, branching ratios must be measured precisely, either at the LHC or at a future e+e- linear collider. The SFitter project aims to determine the underlying theoretical model parameters from the correlated experimental measurements including theoretical errors. The methods are applied to the extraction of the fundamental parameters of supersymmetry as well the measurement of the Higgs boson couplings at the LHC. The extrapolation of the supersymmetric parameters from the weak scale to the Grand Unification Scale could provide the basis towards the inclusion of gravity.
