Exploratorium After Dark: Music & Creativity - September 2011
Exploratorium After Dark: Music & Creativity - featuring Dr. Parag Chordia
Thursday, September 1, 2011
6-10 pm
Spend an evening at the Exploratorium chilling to the sounds of classical North Indian music and learning about the science of brain activity and music performance. After Dark: Music & Creativity takes place on Thursday, September 1, from 6 to 10 pm. Dr. Chordia, who performs on the sarod, is also the Head of the Music Intelligence Group at the Georgia Tech Center for Music Technology. He is the founder of Bol Records, a music label that has produced albums by leading artists of Indian classical music.
After Dark is included in the price of admission to the Exploratorium. Or, you can become a member and save a bundle. To sign up for the Exploratorium's After Dark email list and receive once-a-month event details, contact firstname.lastname@example.com .
When not performing or producing albums, Dr. Chordia is engaged in research focusing on the creation of new technologies for musical self-expression, as well as the neural basis of musical emotion and cognitive underpinnings of musical experience.
"When a person is listening to a song, she is anticipating, at any given moment, the timing and nature of the next event by decoding the musical signal. Even when analyzing a simple song, the brain utilizes complex correlations between the musical elements to make accurate predictions," says Dr. Chordia.
Dr. Chordia's research is funded in part by the National Science Foundation (NSF). After Dark: Music & Creativity will also feature musical instrument builder Sun Kim, who will have some of his instruments on hand for guests to check out.
After Dark, an adult evening program on the first Thursday of every month, mixes cocktails, conversation and adult-oriented programming in science and the arts. Each night showcases a different theme, which might include live performances, films and new media, or feature cutting-edge technology and unexpected extravaganzas. Programs are playful, unique and content-rich, addressing the science behind topics of adult interest—from gambling, alcohol, fashion and sex to extreme sports and gaming. Not a theater, a cabaret, or a gallery, After Dark involves aspects of all three, with a mood unlike anything else in the city. Where else can you find music, a cash bar and an intellectually stimulating playground for adults—all with free parking?

My "Size matters: Everything you need to know about SSD form factors" blog in January spawned some interesting questions, a number of them on Z-height.
What is a Z-height anyway?
For a solid state drive (SSD), Z-height describes its thickness and is generally its smallest dimension. Z-height is a redundant term, since Z is a variable representing the height of an SSD. The "Z" is one of the variables – X, Y and Z, synonymous with length, width and height – that describe the measurements of a 3-dimensional object. Ironically, no one says X-length or Y-width, but Z-height is widely used.
What's the state of affairs with SSD Z-height?
The Z-height has typically been associated with the 2.5″ SSD form factor. As I covered in my January form factor blog, the initial dimensions of SSDs were modeled after hard disk drives (HDDs). The 2.5" HDD form factor featured various heights depending on the platter count – the more disks, the greater the capacity and the thicker the HDD. The first 2.5" full capacity HDDs had a maximum Z-height of 19mm, but quickly dropped to a 15mm maximum to enable full-capacity HDDs in thinner laptops. By the time SSDs hit high-volume market acceptance, the dimensional requirements for storage had shrunk even more, to a maximum height of 12.5mm in the 2.5" form factor. Today, the Z-height of most 2.5″ SSDs generally ranges from 5.0mm to 9.5mm.
With printed circuit board (PCB) form factor SSDs—those with no outer case—the Z-height is defined by the thickness of the board and its components, which can be 3mm or less. Some laptops have unique shape or height restrictions for the SSD space allocation. For example, the MacBook Air's ultra-thin profile requires some of the thinnest SSDs produced.
A new standard in SSD thickness
The platter count of an HDD determines its Z-height. In contrast, an SSD's Z-height is generally the same regardless of capacity. The proportion of SSD form factors deployed in systems is shifting from the traditional, encased SSDs to the new bare PCB SSDs. As SSDs drift away from the older form factors with different heights, consumers and OEM system designers will no longer need to consider Z-height because the thickness of most bare PCB SSDs will be standard.

Solid state drive (SSD) makers have introduced many new layout form factors that are not possible with hard disk drives (HDDs). My blog Size matters: Everything you need to know about SSD form factors talks about the many current SSD form factors, but I gave the new M.2 form factor only a glimpse. The specification and its history merit a deeper look.
The history
A few years ago the PCI Special Interest Group (PCI-SIG), teaming with The Serial ATA International Organization (SATA-IO), started to develop a new form factor standard to replace Mini-PCIe and mSATA since specifications from both of these organizations are required to build SATA M.2 SSDs. The new layout and connector would be used for applications including WiFi, WWAN, USB, PCIe and SATA, with SSD implementations using either PCIe or SATA interfaces. The groups set out to create a narrower connector that supports higher data rates, a lower profile and boards of varying lengths to accommodate various very small notebook computers.
This new form factor also aimed to support micro servers and similar high-density systems by enabling the deployment of dozens of M.2 boards. Unique notches in the edge connector known as "keys" would be used to differentiate the wide array of products using the M.2 connector and prevent the insertion of incompatible products into the wrong socket.
The name change
Initially the M.2 form factor was called Next Generation Form Factor, or NGFF for short. NGFF was designed to follow the dimensional specifications of M.2, a different specification from NGFF, which at that time was being defined by the PCI SIG. Soon after NGFF was announced, confusion between the identical form factors reigned, prompting the name change of NGFF to M.2. Many people in the industry have been slow to adopt the new M.2 name and you often see articles that describe these solutions as M.2, formally known as NGFF.
The keys
In the world of connectors or sockets, a "key" prevents the insertion of a connector into an incompatible socket to ensure the proper mating of connectors and sockets. The M.2 specification has defined 11 key configurations, seven for use sometime in the future. A socket can only have one key, but the plug-in cards can have keyways cut for multiple keys if they support those socket types. Of the four defined keys available for current use, two support SSDs. Key ID B (pins 12-19) gives PCIe SSDs up to two lanes of connectivity and key ID M (pins 59-66) provides PCIe SSDs with up to four lanes of connectivity. Both can accommodate SATA devices. All of the key patterns are uniquely configured so that the card cannot be flipped over and inserted incorrectly.
Unfortunately these keys alone do not tell the user enough about an SSD to help in the selection of replacement or upgrade drives. For example, a computer with an M.2 socket for PCIe x2 support features a B key so that no M.2 boards with PCIe x4 requirements (M key) can fit. However, even though a SATA M.2 card with a B key can fit in the same system, the host will not recognize SATA signals from the motherboard's PCIe socket. With this signal incompatibility, users need to carefully read other socket specifications either printed on the motherboard or included in the system configuration information to see if the socket is PCIe or SATA.
The profile and lengths
Pin spacing on the M.2 card connector is higher in density than prior connector specifications, enabling a narrower board and thinner, lighter mobile computing systems that are smaller and weigh less. What's more, the M.2 specification defines a module with components populating only one side of the board, leaving enough space between the main system board and the module for other components. The number of flash chips used by SSDs varies with storage capacity. The less the storage capacity requirement of an SSD, the shorter the module can be used, leaving system manufacturers more space for other components.
It's all in the name
When I hear people call this specification by the name M.2 formally known as NGFF, I cannot help but think about the time when the rock artist Prince changed his name to an unpronounceable symbol and everyone was stuck calling him The Artist Formerly Known as Prince. In his case I believe he was going for the publicity of the confusion.
As for the renaming of NGFF to M.2, I really don't think that was the goal. In fact I believe it was intended to simplify brand identity by eliminating a second name for the same specification. No matter what we call this new form factor, it appears destined to thrive in both the mobile computing and high-density server markets.

The term "form factor" is used in the computer industry to describe the shape and size of computer components, like drives, motherboards and power supplies. When hard disk drives (HDDs) initially made their way into microprocessor-based computers, they used magnetic platters up to 8 inches in diameter. Because that was the largest single component inside the HDD, it defined the minimum width of the HDD housing—the metal box around the guts of the drive.
The height was dictated by the number of platters stacked on the motor (about 14 for the largest configurations). Over time the standard size of the magnetic patter diameter shrank, which allowed the HDD width to decrease as well. The computer industry used the platter diameter dimensions to describe the HDD form factors, and those contours shrank over the years. Those 8" HDDs for datacenter storage and desktop PCs shed size to 5" to today's 3.5", and laptop HDDs, starting at 2.5", are now as small as 1.8".
What defines an SSD form factor?
When solid state drives (SSDs) first started replacing HDDs, they had to fit into computer chassis or laptop drive bays (mounting location) built for HDDs, so they had to conform to HDD dimensions. The two SSDs shown below are form factor identical twins—without the outer casing—to 1.8" and 2.5" HDDs. The SSDs also use standard SATA connectors, but note that the SATA connector for 1.8" devices is narrower than the 2.5" devices to accommodate the smaller width.
However, there's no requirement for the SSD to match the shape of a typical HDD form factor. In fact some of the early SSDs slid into the high-speed PCIe slots inside the computer chassis, not into the drive bays. A PCIe® SSD card solution resembles an add-in graphic card and installs the same way in the PCIe slot since the physical interface is PCIe.
The largest component of an SSD is a flash memory chip so, depending on how many flash chips are used, manufacturers have virtually limitless options in defining dimensions. JEDEC (Joint Electronic Device Engineering Council) defines technical standards for the electronic industry including SSD form factors. JEDEC defined the MO-297 standard, which establishes parameters for the layout, connector locations and dimensions of 54mm x 39mm Serial ATA (SATA) SSDs, so they can use the same connector as standard 2.5" HDDs, but fit into a much smaller space.
The most important element of an SSD form factor is the interface connector, the conduit to the host computer. In the early days of SSDs, that connector was typically the same SATA connector used with HDDs. But over time the width of some SSDs became smaller than the SATA connector itself, driving the need for new connectors.
Card edge connectors – the part of a computer board that plugs into a computer – emerged to enable smaller designs and to further reduce manufacturing and component costs by requiring the installation of only a single female socket on the host as a receptor for the edge of the SSD's printed circuit board. (The original 2.5" and 1.8" SSD SATA connector required both a male and female plastic connector to mate the SSD to the computer).
With standardization of these connectors critical to ensuring interoperability among different manufacturers, a few organizations have defined standards for these new connectors. JEDEC defined the MO-300 (50.8mm x 29.85mm), which uses a mini-SATA (mSATA) connector, the same physical connector as mini PCI Express, although the two are not electrically compatible. SSD manufacturers have used that same mSATA edge connector and board width, but customized the length to accommodate more flash chips for higher capacity SSDs.
In 2012 a new, even smaller form factor was introduced as Next Generation Form Factor (NGFF), but was later renamed to M.2. The M.2 standard defines a long list of optional board sizes, and the connector supports both SATA and PCIe electrical interfaces. The keyways or notches on the connector can help determine the interface and number of PCIe lanes possible to the board. However, that gets into more details than we have space to cover here, so we will save that for a future blog.
Apple® MacBook Air® and some MacBook Pro systems use an SSD with a connector and dimensions that closely resemble those of the M.2 form factor. In fact Apple MacBook systems have used a number of different connectors and interfaces for its SSD over the years. Apple used a custom connector with SATA signals from 2010 through 2012 and in 2013 switched to a custom connector with PCIe signals.
In some cases, standard SSD form factor configurations are not an option, so SSD manufacturers have taken it upon themselves to create custom board and interface configurations that meet those less typical needs.
And finally there's the ubiquitous USB-based connection. While USB flash drives have been around for nearly a decade, many people do not realize the performance of these devices can vary by 10 to 20 times. Typically a USB flash drive is used to make data portable—replacing the old floppy disk. In those cases the speed of the device is not critical since it is used infrequently.
Now with the high speed USB 3 interface, a SATA-to-USB 3 bridge chip, and a high performance flash controller like the LSI® SandForce® controller, these external devices can operate as a primary system SSDs, performing as fast as a standard SSD inside the system. The primary advantages of these SSDs are removability and transportability while providing high-speed operation.
If there's one constant in life, it's demand for ever smaller storage form factors that prompt changes in circuit layout, connector position and, of course, dimensions. New connectors proposed for future generations of storage devices like the SFF-8639 specification will enable multiple interfaces and data path channels on the same connector. While the SFF-8639 does not technically define the device to which it connects, the connector itself is rather large, so the form factor of the SSD will need to be big enough to hold the connector. That's why the primary SFF-8639 market is datacenters that use back-plane connectors and racks of storage devices. A similar connector – like SFF-8639, very large and built to support multiple data paths – is the SATA Express connector. I will save the details of that connector for an upcoming blog.
The sky's the limit for SSD shapes and sizes. Without a spinning platter inside a box, designers can let their imaginations run wild. Creative people in the industry will continue to find new applications for SSDs that were previously restricted by the internal components of HDDs. That creativity and flexibility will take on growing importance as we continue to press datacenters and consumer electronics to do more with less, reminding us that size does in fact matter.

Food on TV: Sara's Weeknight Meals
We were excited to see Sara Moulton's new PBS show, Sara's Weeknight Meals, debut last night. Her show and cooking philosophy seems particularly to fit in with The Kitchn's mission and philosophy: cooking that's not dumbed-down, but is still approachable. Real food for practical people.
Did any of you also watch last night?
We might have been predisposed to like the show, given that we watched it right after The Food Network's Chefography of Julia Child. Sara Moulton was a protege of Julia's, and we see Julia's influence in the way she cooks and relates to viewers.
The debut episode focused on pasta, giving the viewer three recipes of varying difficulty and time, but all manageable after a long day at work. The first recipe was almost a non-recipe, the kind of thing one might dream up after a cupboard challenge, but it certainly seems manageable and tasty: Cartwheel Pasta with Breakfast Sausage and Creamy Tomato Sauce.
Stepping up the difficulty level, she showed us that homemade gnocchi was possible on a weeknight, with Ricotta Gnocchi with Sautéed Cherry Tomato Sauce. No need to pipe them precisely; take a lesson from gnudi and drop spoonfuls in the water.
We were skeptical of her third dish, particularly with its hour plus long cooking time. (Admittedly, only 20 minutes of that are hands on.) She used wonton skins to make a Quick Asparagus Lasagna - why not just use no-boil pasta, or even just find a way to use non-no boil lasagna without cooking it first? She tried to sell us on the wonton skins, saying they'd make great individual servings, but we weren't buying it.
Overall, she's cooking real food, with interesting ingredients, but giving you the tips and tricks to make it manageable. There's no need to be a perfectionist, but you also don't have to overly rely on processed foods.
Our biggest quibble with the show is the writing - her intros and summaries are almost painfully stiff, as they were when she was on The Food Network. But as long as the cooking is good, we'll continue to tune in.
Who are the food celebrities you love? Which ones fit in most with your philosophy of cooking?
2 Comments
I really like Sara Moulton although she doesn't seem all that comfortable in front of a camera'-) I'll be tuning in on a regular basis to see what she comes up with.
I really loved Sara Moulton on Food TV and really stopped watching the network altogether when she left, except for a catching Alton Brown and Iron Chef once in a while. I'm looking forward to seeing her recipes again. Although I don't love PBS, because they tend to have very Martha Stewart type recipes, Sarah is at least bit more inventive and will hopefully bring something to them. I much prefer her uncomfortableness with the camera than the over the top styling of the food TV celeb loud mouth chefs which is all they have these days. Sarah is a real chef, a real person, she has a genuine love for real food and I can relate to her.

'National Consultative Workshop on Wetlands' in Bhutan
On 14 July 2010, the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (MoAF) of the Kingdom of Bhutan held a one-day 'National Consultative Workshop on Wetlands'. The aim of the workshop was to provide updates on the progress of wetland conservation in Bhutan and to discuss the benefits of accession to the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands, and the commitments that the government would have to abide by if the country were to become a Contracting Party.
The workshop was attended by some 40 participants from a range of government departments, research institutes, as well as international and national NGOs.
|Participants at the workshop
In his welcoming address, Mr. Gopal Mahat (Joint-Director, Department of Forests and Park Service) stated that with 70% of the land area of Bhutan under forest cover and 50% under protection, the government has shown a clear commitment to conservation. In addition, the new Water Bill had only passed by the parliament the previous day (13 July) which will provide a legal basis for authorities to manage, protect and conserve water resources in the country.
Mr. Mahat went on to acknowledge the wide range of values and benefits that the high-altitude wetlands provided in Bhutan. This included acting as a source of water for the Bramaputra river basin, for being closely interlinked with the spiritual and cultural life of the people, in supporting biodiversity and maintaining the microclimate, as well as providing opportunities for agriculture and for hydro-power production.
|View of the Phobjikha Valley
In following, Ms. Sonam Choden outlined the role of the Watershed Management Division (MoAF) in managing the wetlands in Bhutan, before Ms. Archana Chatterjee described WWF's regional programme on Himalayan high altitude (>3,000m) wetlands. Mr. Sherub (Ugyen Wanchuck Institute for Conservation and Environment), then described the work to map Bhutan's high altitude wetlands and finally, Dr. Lew Young (Ramsar Convention Secretariat) explained the background, aims and activities of the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands.
After the formal presentations, the workshop participants were divided into three groups to allow more focused discussion on three topics. These were 1), the commitments, obligations, benefits of accession to the Ramsar Convention 2), future research needs for wetland conservation in Bhutan and 3), co-ordination and data sharing mechanisms.
|Workshop participants during a discussion session
In Group 1, the participants asked a wide range of questions concerning accession to the Ramsar Convention, and heard replies about the benefits from both the representative of the Ramsar Secretariat and representatives of countries who were already members of the Convention. These benefits include improved conservation of the wetlands designated as Ramsar Sites; greater international support and access to capacity building opportunities; and being an integral part of an international network for promoting wetland conservation.
In terms of the future needs for the wetlands in Bhutan, Group 2 identified the following topics: the need to develop a long-terms programme to monitor their status; confirmation of their functions and benefits; identifying the threats that they faced, particularly that from climate change; and developing materials to raise greater public awareness about Bhutan's wetlands.
To co-ordinate wetland conservation and wise use in Bhutan, Group 3 provided a number of recommendations. These included the creation of a National Wetland Management Committee; the drafting of a National Wetland Management Strategy; strengthening the links on wetland conservation with other international conventions and organizations; and developing local community wetland conservation groups.
All three Groups agreed that if the Kingdom of Bhutan were to join the Ramsar Convention, then the wetlands at Phobjikha, Bumdeling and Khotokha would be suitable for designation as the first Wetlands of International Importance (Ramsar Sites) in the country.
|Black-necked Crane Information Centre, Phobjikha, managed by the Royal Society for Protection of Nature, Bhutan
Mr. Raling Ngawang summarized the discussions during the workshop as being positive towards accession to the Ramsar Convention. It was also agreed that a detailed report on the benefits of joining the Convention would next have to be drafted for approval by the Minister of Agriculture and Forestry, before being submitted to parliament for consideration.
In the meantime, the Ramsar Secretariat and organizations, such as WWF, will continue to support the government of Bhutan in their deliberations.
|(l. to r.) Mr. Bhawani Dongol (WWF Nepal), Ms. Sonam Choden (Watershed Management Division, Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry), and Mr. Phurba Lhendup (WWF Bhutan)

REGINA — Economy Minister Bill Boyd says approval of the Enbridge Northern Gateway project is good for Saskatchewan — despite the fact that no oil from the province will be transported through the pipeline.
"We are very pleased today with the announcement that has been made with respect to this pipeline. We think it is certainly important. It will help address some of the concerns that Saskatchewan has about capacity," Boyd told reporters at the Legislative Building in Regina on Tuesday.
"Even though there isn't Saskatchewan oil going to be going through this pipeline, it will address issues around capacity that are important for getting oil to markets on an international scale."
Boyd and Premier Brad Wall have repeatedly said differences between prices currently available for Saskatchewan oil and prices that might be accessed internationally mean millions less for the province.
"We think this can be done in an environmentally and socially responsible way. We understand the federal government has put 209 conditions in place that have to be met before this pipeline would go ahead. I suspect there may be attempts legally and otherwise to stop this, but we are very hopeful that this project will go forward," Boyd said.
Boyd says he hopes for approval for TransCanada's Keystone XL pipeline, too.
"I think it shows that science-based evidence should eventually move forward these types of projects, if they're advancing it in a proper way. The pipeline down to the United States, Keystone, is again very important for Saskatchewan. It helps to create new markets for our products out of our oilpatch."
University of Saskatchewan College of Law expert Dwight Newman said there is reason to think Northern Gateway will be built, even with 209 conditions.
"It obviously follows a very detailed consideration by the joint-review panel," Newman said. "This is a more complex project than many and there are a lot of things at stake — Enbridge has a lot of work still to do."
Some of that work will include further consultation with aboriginal peoples, Newman noted, adding the government made it clear that more work is needed in that area. Court challenges could also be a factor, he said.
"Enbridge has developed the proposal and presumably thinks it can meet the conditions that have been set, so in many ways, there's lots of reason to think that it will go forward now," Newman said.

Valdosta - 306 North opened its doors in downtown Valdosta three months ago, and owners say they couldn't have asked for a better location. "We've really been blessed, there's a lot of business downtown that helps us with lunch business," said Amy Ferrell, Restaurant Owner.
The restaurant is one of four new businesses that have opened downtown since July. And more are asking how they can be part of this historic area every day. "We've got two new state offices, an engineering firm, two restaurants, and antique shop and a business incubator that will all open on Patterson Street in probably the next six months," said Niki Knox, Main Street Director.
Downtown Valdosta is being reborn, and the revitalization is getting national attention. We're one of 11 semi-finalists for the 2006 Great American Main Street Award. "I think the panel that reviewed us realized we're doing things right here in Valdosta," said Knox.
This is the first year Valdosta has applied for the award, and they're up against some stiff competition. Yet, they were the only city from the state of Georgia picked as a semi-finalist, and one of only 2 from the whole Southeastern United States. "We're actively working the economic development side of it and preserving our history, which is what its all about," said Knox.
A rich history that's bringing new life to the heart of the city, and will hopefully help this downtown earn the title of Greatest Main Street in America.
The winner will be announced at the national Main Streets Conference in New Orleans in June.

I had lower eyelid transconjuctival blepharoplasty only 11 days ago & got chemosis on my right eye. Its coming along well (esp, considering how gnarly it was) but I'm worrying because it looks small, "pushed up" & I get cock-eyed when I turn my eye harshly. I pull down on my face and make the right eye the same size as my other eye & can see that the flesh underneath is still not quite where it should be. Will this go down eventually? I'm worried that it is "scarring into place" as it were...
Chemosis on Right Eye Causing Asymmetrical Eyes Will Get Better? (photo)

Chemosis after blepharoplasty.
Chemosis after blepharoplasty, especially after transconjunctival approach is not uncommon. You should get steroid eyedrops from your surgeon. It will go away but can be stubborn.
Chemosis is bothersome but temporary after a blepharoplasty
Chemosis or swelling of the conjunctiva of the eye is a bothersome but not dangerous complication of a blepharoplasty. It is temporary although it may last up to 6 weeks. It should not have any effect on your ultimate outcome from the surgery. Steroid drops, Blephamide ophthalmic drops is one type, or warm compress can be used to speed the recovery. Very rarely, a minor procedure can be done in stubborn cases.
I hope this helps!
Chemosis after blepharoplasty
Chemosis is not uncommon. It will go away though sometimes it can be stubborn and last for a few weeks. Steroid eye drops and moist warm light compression usually helps.

Be patient
Dear Maran
It is way to early after surgery for you to worry about asymmetry. There is significant swelling in the first two weeks after surgery, and sometimes even longer than that. Chemosis, or conjunctival swelling, is not terribly uncommon after transconj.blepharoplasty.
Your surgeon, however should be aware of this. Sometimes lubricating steroid ointment or drops can be used to decrease the inflammation, if it is not going down fast enough. Eye patching can be helpful as well. Don't worry: its not going to scar into place.
If your surgeon is uncomfortable with treating the chemosis, I would recommend consultation with an ASOPRS trained Oculoplastics surgeon. If your surgeon doesn't know one, you can find one close to you on the ASOPRS dot org website.

Chemosis after blepharoplasty
Chemosis is troublesome and can be disturbing to some patients. It is not uncommon. It will usually resolve, but it can take some time. You are still very early in your post operative course. Please do keep your surgeon informed as to what is going on.
Web reference: http://www.jjrothmd.com/procedures/blepharoplasty-eyelift
Recovery after blepharoplasty
In the first month after blepharoplasty surgery, I wouldn't be concerned about how it looks. There is a lot of chemosis or swelling that can be treated by sleeping with your head elevated, topical drops, massage, or patching of the eye. With these conservative treatments, it should get better slowly over time. After 3 months, you will be able to tell if there is any asymmetry with your results that might need to be corrected. Vitamin K cream and IPL treatments can also be helpful for the bruising.

Chemosis is common
Chemosis or conjunctival swelling after lower eyelid surgery is common. it will of course cause your lids to look asymmetric. This will resolve once the chemosis settles. A topical anti inflammatory drop will help to speed the recovery

Chemosis after blepharoplasty
Chemosis is not uncommon after any type of eyelid procedure especially transconjunctival lower lid blepharoplasty. I have found that steroid eye drops work well...sometimes even taping the lower eyelid upwards can be helpful too. Resting the eyes as much as possible is helpful too, as the eye heals best in the "closed" position. Use plenty of natural tears as well. You have to be patients. Your chemosis is mild from some that I have seen and I have seen it take as much as 4-6 weeks to resolve completely.

One weird looking eye
all the comments are spot on. in addition your gaze is slightly off, not uncommon and should be fine. i have to say that is the whitest chemosis i have ever seen. is it just reflected light? normally it looks like clear jelly. good luck

"When I think back on all the homes I've visited in the French countryside--and I've visited hundreds over the last twenty-five years--it is almost always the kitchens I remember most clearly and recall with the most affection."--From the introduction
The kitchen is truly the heart of the home, and nowhere is this exemplified with more style and personality than in France. Distinguished by striking craftsmanship, bold colors, and vintage accents, the French country kitchen--whether a rustic retreat or an urban oasis--is always unique and inviting.
In this beautiful celebration of France's real-life kitchens, French style authority Linda Dannenberg invites us into dozens of kitchens that capture the spirit of their regions, carefully examining the design, the priorities of the owners, and the details—from color palettes to collectibles--that create inviting, functional, and personal spaces. You'll visit a remarkable new "eighteenth-century" kitchen in the heart of Paris's old garment district designed entirely with elements dating from the 1700s; an airy, open family kitchen in a Provençal house that was once a grain mill; a dramatic kitchen, bold in color and scale, in an elegant farmhouse in Saint-Remy-de-Provence; a romantic country kitchen, illuminated by a Palladian-style window from an old abbey, in a welcoming village surrounded by the farmland of the Ile-de France; and a casual Parisian space--once an atelier occupied by Pablo Picasso--featuring a kitchen with subtle, restrained mosaics.
Distinctive elements that characterize these welcoming spaces are examined in depth, from tile work to the French way with color. You'll even find recipes that capture the spirit of the French kitchen. With an extensive directory of sources, more than 200 full-color photographs, and evocative text highlighting a bounty of original ideas, French Country Kitchens is a lush and inspiring guide to re-creating a little corner of France in the heart of your own home.

(LOS ANGELES, CA) -- Capri Anderson, who captured headlines when she was part ofCharlie Sheen's incident at the Plaza Hotel in New York City last year, has signed on as a Vivid Girl with the world's leading adult film studio.
"Capri is exceptional in so many ways and we think she can fully develop her potential as a Vivid Girl," said Steven Hirsch, founder/co-chairman of Vivid Entertainment. "Actually, we had cut back on our contract actresses program recently, but Capri is so exciting that we decided to reopen it just for her."
Capri was the toast of the web, the leading TV talk shows and the hottest gossip and entertainment outlets in the country after she spent one evening with Sheen last November. What apparently started innocently enough as a dinner appearance with Sheen, turned into a nightmare when she reportedly had to lock herself in Sheen's hotel room for protection. In retrospect, her experience with Sheen seems like the beginning of a dramatically downward spiral for the actor.
The 22-year-old dark blonde, 5'6" beauty with pouty lips and smoky green eyes was born in Van Nuys, though she has spent most of her life in New York and Florida. She recalls a fun-filled childhood with a focus on dancing but also with enough studying to get her into the National Honor Society.
While a college student in Miami, she made a sex tape with her boyfriend and sold it to a website to make money. "We thought that a few people in our neighborhood might wind up seeing that tape, but it turned out it was most of Dade County. I totally blew my cover," says Capri, "but it was my introduction to adult entertainment and I can honestly say that it changed my perception of myself. It's helped me become a woman and given me new found confidence. Becoming a Vivid Girl is a very exciting giant step for me. It means I'll be surrounded by top professionals who will bring out the best in me."
"I'm not sure yet how I'll get to the Vivid movie sets since I have a bit of a problem when it comes to driving. So far I've been in 17 crashes and as a result I'm now very resourceful when it comes to transportation. I walk or use buses, trains, taxis, bicycles and every once in a while, I'll get up my courage and borrow or rent a car. I feel confident in every area of my life except driving and so I'm putting off a decision to buy a car," she says.
Capri says she's definitely the romantic type and loves to be affectionate with guys she cares about. "Of course a sense of humor in a man is paramount because I love to laugh and have a good time. He also needs to be independent, intelligent and have a strong sense of romance."
She works out through dancing and has favorite studios on both the east and west coasts where she can be found two or three days a week. She has an apartment in Brooklyn and is looking for one in LA
When she's not dancing, she's playing soccer or baseball and loves to go clubbing. She reads and goes to art galleries for relaxation and has already started a modest art collection. She's rarely without her iPod which holds a collection of mostly classic rock, jazz and dub step music.
About Vivid:
Founded in 1984, Vivid has always placed heavy emphasis on high quality erotic film entertainment and has created wide brand-name awareness through its films, innovative marketing and a licensing program that extends to advertising, apparel, book publishing, and a range of other products. TV audiences have gotten to know the company's management and talent through two seven-part series on Showtime, "Debbie does Dallas
Again" and "Deeper Throat." In addition to its Vivid-Celeb imprint famous for celebrity sex tapes, the company is known for its new Vivid SuperXXXHeroes imprint. The Vivid website, www.vivid.com has a loyal following of fans of Vivid movies from the industry's largest archive.

The partnership marks the first time Under Armour has sponsored an entire national team for the Summer Olympic Games, meaning the sports apparel company's logo will appear during televised events and could be seen on the medal stand in 2016 and 2020.

While the deal covers both the men's and women's teams, the ramifications are likely to be felt more with women. Female gymnasts often become the most popular athletes at the Games.
American winners of the all-around gold medal such as Mary Lou Retton, Carly Patterson and Nastia Liukin remain viable as speakers and pitchwomen long after their gymnastics careers. Gabby Douglas, who won the all-around in 2012, could make as much as $10 million over the next four years, some sports marketing experts said.
"The women's all-around winner always has the chance to be the real breakout star of the games," said Bob Dorfman, the executive creative director of Baker Street Advertising in San Francisco, after the London Games. "There's a charisma there, established over time, that gives that person a real gravitas that lasts a long, long time. That's unusual for an Olympic star."
Douglas has said she'll compete in the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro. If she does, she'll wear the Under Armour logo.
The new deal comes on the heels of Under Armour's opening a Brand House store in the Harbor East neighborhood of Baltimore that evenly divides the amount of retail space given to men's and women's apparel.
"As Under Armour continues to expand into new categories globally, we are committed to strengthening our position as the leader in performance innovation," said Matt Mirchin, Under Armour's senior vice president for brand and sports marketing, in a news release. "We are proud to partner with USA Gymnastics, providing state-of-the-art performance apparel, footwear and accessories designed to help these elite gymnasts perform at their best."
This is not Under Armour's first foray into gymnastics. It signed Alicia Sacramone in 2011, but the most decorated American gymnast in the history of the world championships did not make the U.S. team for the London Olympics and retired from the sport in January. Under Armour provided her with most of her training gear — including custom leotards — and does the same for several college teams, including the University of Maryland's and Towson University's.
"I think it's a great fit," said Brett Nelligan, Maryland women's gymnastics coach, of the company taking a broader interest in the sport. "Under Armour is such an innovative company, and that goes along with a sport that is constantly changing and evolving."
Nelligan said Maryland's affiliation with Under Armour helps his recruiting, as the brand grabs the attention of young athletes. He also said he feels firsthand the heightened excitement surrounding the sport after an Olympics, as he's constantly asked questions. His own team, which is 12-1-1 this season, has set attendance records in part because of carry-over interest in the sport.
Under Armour will partner with GK Elite, which has made the Olympic team's performance apparel since 2000, to design the leotards.
"I think it's a smart move if they're looking to take market share from established brands like Nike," said Matt Saler, a sports marketing executive with Baltimore's IMRE. "This gets them out there on the world's biggest athletic stage, and the women's gymnastics team is front and center. There's no better way to resonate with a wide range of people, but especially women and girls."

6 comments on "YouTube on Spoon Making at the Bench – Real Woodworking"
- Brandon Avakian says:
I have always loved your passion for woodworking. Your videos are always so well done because your passion for what you are doing shines through.
- mark d says:
What a great idea! Would be good to know the answer to this. I'm guessing its possible as only the teeth have been hardened, and the rest of the saw is the right thickness to get flex out of. Ooo going to give it a try at the weekend now
- Steve Massie says:
I also really enjoyed the video Paul and enjoy your way of working wood very much. I think making spoons is going to be really fun and this will be fun for my 6 1/2 old Grandson as well.
Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and experience.
- jmpurser says:
Jennie's 5 year old grandson is already asking when we can start building bird houses on the "new bench". His little brother's motto at 3 years old is "Let's DO that!" so I think he'll be just as anxious to make things.
- pbates says:
Paul do you use some kind of oil like sesame oil on your spoons?
- Paul Sellers says:
You can use vegetable oil, mineral oil or salad bowl oil. Some people say that veg oil goes rancid but I have never had that happen. Canola oil works fine too. I think mineral oil is the most commonly used. It is totally unnecessary to use any oil except for appearance.

Tessa Wegert | February 13, 2014 | Comments
As hashtags become more mainstream, there lies before marketers an opportunity to amplify their use of hashtags to make brand interactions more appealing.
What started as an experiment in grouping tweets has become a cross-media phenomenon. Since being named the 2012 Word of the Year, the hashtag has gone on to appear on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and break a record in this year's Super Bowl.
OK, hashtag. You've got our attention.
And why shouldn't it? Brands have come to rely on hashtags to promote campaigns and help their users follow online conversations. Yes, they've been hijacked and misappropriated (see McDonald's Cheers to Sochi campaign). Sometimes, hashtags get lost in the shuffle, such that campaigns that rely on them to seed and spread content fall flat. But they continue to add context and value to messages of all kinds, and they're fast becoming the de facto method of tracking content across the Web.
The Wall Street Journal ran a story this week about Twitter that highlights what its writer refers to as a problem with indifference. Twitter wants to go mainstream and "reach every person on the planet," but its 140-character count doesn't necessarily suit the pre-text generation, and connections on Twitter are "looser" compared with Facebook, something not everyone finds attractive. Others find fault with the glut of content. To a Twitter newbie, the experience can be overwhelming.
At the same time, as the article notes, Twitter has become a platform for news distribution, activism, literature - often in short fiction form - celebrity gossip, and of course, brand advertising. In some ways, the question brands face about marketing online is the same one confronting Twitter proper: How can we stay relevant?
Hashtags may be in a position to help. Because they're well suited to content discovery, consumers can use them to find what they seek. And since Facebook is fully supporting them now, it's likely even light and future Twitter users are getting to know them and learning how to use hashtags to better navigate the Web.
What does this mean for brands? It means there lies before marketers an opportunity to amplify their use of hashtags to make brand interactions more appealing. Take Instagram, which since 2012 has been running a Weekend Hashtag Project devised to engage users. Each challenge revolves around a theme - #flyflyaway, #somethingoldsomethingnew, #sentbymail - that's intended to provide inspiration for an original photograph. With flexible guidelines for content and composition, users have the freedom to interpret every unique project as they see fit as long as they include the obligatory hashtag. The best submissions are selected by Instagram's Community Team, and showcased every Monday on the social site's blog.
Twitter's recently launched #Sochi2014 photo grid also marries photographs and the hashtag. In this case, Twitter curates the most-shared Olympic-themed visual tweets and organizes them by category to create an image-based overview of the Winter Games. Users can view tweets by country or by date, and follow featured Twitter users without leaving the microsite. Content is timely and current, and offers a look at the global event at a glance.
Both of these projects acknowledge the hashtag's potential as a tool to help Internet users uncover desirable content and contribute to communities online. Both reimagine how hashtags can put content into context, presenting them in a way that everyone, even those unfamiliar with Twitter procedure, can understand. For brands, a similar approach might give them back some degree of control. Instead of losing consumers on Twitter, cull the content you want them to see and box it up for their enjoyment online. Deliver campaign messages with up-to-the-minute posts that remind users why they follow you, and what you have to offer that others don't. Make the experience easier, and invite them to take part.
Hashtags are evolving, and in exciting ways. It's never too late to experiment.

08.12 - Heavyweight Anthony Tony the Tiger Thompson of Silver Spring, Md., whos promoted by Cedric Kushner Promotions, goes for his 16th straight win when he faces Onebo Mazime Ghahou of Atlanta Tuesday (Oct. 9) in Pikesville, Md. Thompson, a quick and slick 6-foot-6-inch southpaw, has a record of 19-1 with 11 knockouts and has stopped six of his past eight opponents.
The 32-year-old Thompson has halted his past three foes: Gilbert Martinez in the sixth round Aug. 22 on a Cedric Kushner Promotions Everlast Heavyweight Explosion card in Reno, Nev.; James Gaines in the eighth March 7 in Niagara Falls, Ont.; and Zuri Lawrence in the seventh on another Cedric Kushner Promotions Everlast Heavyweight Explosion show Oct. 20, 2002, in Tacoma, Wash.
Thompson has always been a crafty counterpuncher; but with his rapidly developing power, hes emerging as a complete package.
Im going to keep getting better, said Thompson. I want people to think about me when they talk about the top 10 heavyweights in the world. My time is coming, and I believe 2004 is going to be my year.
Thompson is trained by respected veteran Tom Browner. The 28-year-old Ghahou, also a southpaw, has a record of 15-19 with 11 knockouts.

We (i.e., Justin Giovannetti and Lex Gill) are both able and willing to testify in front of a court of law, tribunal or hearing to attest to the validity of these statements. Much of this is now recorded on video and we have some contact information for the victims. We will NOT consent to contact with any police representatives (municipal, provincial, or federal) nor will we consent to speaking to other security agencies (CSIS, Canadian Forces, etc.). We can be contacted at lex.gill [at] gmail [dot] com, or jackgiovannetti [at] gmail [dot] com.
We just got back to our computers and are frantically writing this message. It is 4:45 a.m. on Monday morning. We are the only people who seem to know the extent of this story. Coffee and adrenaline keeping us going. When we got to Queen and Spadina after leaving the Convergence Centre raid today, we had already been blocked off by police lines. It was pouring rain, and we could hear a confrontation taking place further down the street. The cops didn't care whether or not we were media — in fact, we heard that media was forced to leave before we arrived. Police acted violently and with sheer disregard for the law, attacking peaceful protesters and civilians unrelated to the protest. Tired, frantic, and feeling defeated, we came home and posted the message before this one.
We then did the only thing left to do, and headed to 629 Eastern Avenue (the G20 Detention Centre, a converted film studio), where detainees from the demonstrations were being taken. We knew people were being released sporadically so we grabbed as many juice boxes and granola bars as we could afford and set off with medical supplies. Journalists were basically absent, showed up only to take a few seconds of video, or simply arrived far too late to be effective.
It is next to impossible to set the scene of what happened at the Detention Centre. Between the two of us we estimate that we spoke to over 120 people, most of whom were released between 9:30 p.m. and 4:30 a.m. Despite not knowing each other, the story they tell is the same. It goes like this. Most were arrested at three locations: the Novotel on Saturday evening where the police arrested hundreds of peaceful protesters (look @spaikan on Twitter); Spadina/Queen's Park all day Saturday and early Sunday, as people were arrested all over the downtown for many different (and often bogus) reasons; and the University of Toronto, where hundreds of Quebecers and others were woken up and arrested at gun point early Saturday morning.
What follows is a list, as detailed as we can make it in a blog post, of what we saw and heard."—
Conditions at G20 Dentention Centre are illegal, immoral and dangerous | The Link
Please forward widely. Confront police brutality and the rising repression of the police state.

Comments about Remo Bass Drum Muffle Ring (Assorted Sizes):
I'm amazed at John Bonham's bass drum - no padding but has thunderous sound. I wanted that same sound. I bought this Remo muffling ring for my bass drum and got rid of the pillow and other junk. It got my bass drum sounding like Bonham's...finally.
Best Uses
Comments about Remo Bass Drum Muffle Ring (Assorted Sizes):
I use these on both the batter head and the reso, and they give a solid bass drum sound with no ringing and no vibrations. Sounds great for live performances and in the studio, especially if you also use a hydraulic head for the batter side. Plus, with it inside the drum and attached to the rims, I don't have to worry about it getting knocked off like some of the external rings or rolling around like the blanket I used in the old days.

QUICK HITS: Monday with Saban, Iron Bowl week
At his weekly Monday press conference, Alabama head coach Nick Saban made it clear he didn't want to…
|Seven Tide Players Earn Weekly Honors
C.J. Mosley
| More
Each week the Alabama coaching staff selects players of the week from the previous game. The Crimson Tide had a relatively easy time of it last Saturday with a 49-0 win over Western Carolina and starters did not get a lot of playing time. The Bama coaches took note of the men in the trenches for most of the honors.
Seven Alabama players were recognized by the coaching staff for their outstanding performances following Saturday's win over Western Carolina. Anthony Steen, Chance Warmack and Michael Williams were named players of the week on offense while Nico Johnson and C.J. Mosley represented the defense. On special teams, Brent Calloway and Landon Collins were selected.
Steen and Warmack led an offensive line that did not allow a sack and helped clear the way for Eddie Lacy and T.J. Yeldon to combine for 154 rushing yards on 17 carries with four touchdowns. Williams was credited for his blocking and protection, and he also added one catch for 22 yards.
The first team offense played just the first half as Alabama totaled 338 yards and established a 42-0 lead without a punt.
Mosley once again led the team with six tackles and had a tackle for loss. He has a team-high 89 tackles on the year with six for loss and has been selected as a player of the week nine times in Bama's 11 games. Johnson was credited with four stops and also had a tackle for loss, which was one of six on the day for the Crimson Tide.
UA held WCU to just 40 yards on 23 plays in the first half with two first downs. The shutout was the third of the season for the Tide. Alabama leads the nation in scoring defense and ranks second in total defense.
On special teams, Collins and Calloway each had two tackles on kickoff coverage. Collins had one inside the 20 and also downed a punt inside the 10 and forced a fair catch. Calloway recorded two stops inside the 20 on kickoff.
Alabama is 10-1 overall and 6=1 in Southeastern Conference games and ranked second in the nation. The Crimson Tide closes out regular season play Saturday when Bama hosts Auburn (3-8 overall, 0-7 in the SEC) in Bryant-Denny Stadium. Kickoff is at 2:30 p.m. CST with television coverage by CBS.
With a win, Alabama would win the SEC Western Division title and advance to the SEC Championship Game against Georgia in the Georgia Dome in Atlanta on December 1.

Consistent performance night after night.
Aquarian Hi-Velocity Black Snare Head
This Aquarian Hi-Velocity snare drum head is an ebony 2-ply (2.7mil) head with a reverse Power-Thin dot for extra strength. It provides easy tuning, great stick response, zero slippage inside the hoop, consistent sound, increased resonance and sensitivity, and the sound that drummers need and deserve.Safe—T-Loc hoopThis hoop system prevents slippage inside the hoop so that the snare head does not de-tune during a performance and will not pull out. Tuning is consistent and the replacement head stays in tune.Sound Curve Collar DesignThis design allows the Aquarian drumhead to seat perfectly on the bearing edge. No wrinkles even with loose tuning. It conforms instantly to any shell design and makes tuning fast, easy, and more accurate.Triple Locking SystemThis unique system provides drummers with previously unheard of advantages in resonance and playability. First, holes are punched in the bottom of a "U" shaped channel, which has been formed in the drumhead. These holes allow the epoxy to flow into the "Safe-T-Loc" channel. Second, the "T-Ribs" that form the Safe-T-Loc channel prevent the epoxy and the drumhead, from slipping and pulling away from the hoop. Lastly, the Locking Shoulder acts as a "stop" to ensure the correct collar height for the snare drumhead.

PCCV Groups
The Pace Council offers wide range of benefits for PCCV recognized groups and students looking for support for individual projects. Benefits for PCCV recognized groups include:
● Peer advising and leadership training for students groups
● Use of Pace Center Vans
● Wide range of advertising avenues
● Pace Center staff support and advising (financial counseling, larger administrative networks)
● Group access to large recruiting events (Community Service Kickoff, etc.)
● Poster printing
● Professional poster-ers for group event
Project Initiatives
PCCV organizes campus-wide civic engagement events and initiatives. This year's initiatives are:
Data and Needs Assessment
PCCV is working with our current community partners to assess how their needs are being met through their interactions with student volunteers. We are also reaching out to organizations that we have not yet worked with to see if there could be a potential relationship in the future.
PCCV has a hand in organizing campus-wide events that promote civic engagement These include: Reflections on Service (ROS), a keynote address from a notable Princeton alum who discusses civic issues and a commitment to service; the Community Service Kick-off, an activities fair for civic engagement groups at the start of second semester; the Faculty Barbeque, where students show their appreciation for a group of professors who have demonstrated commitment to civic engagement; and the 'We're Engaged' end of the year event, a time for the Pace Center to recognize its hard-working and passionate students.
Inter-Club Community Fundraiser
This is our third annual ICCF, a fundraiser that brings together the 11 different Eating Clubs over Freshmen Preview Weekends by encouraging each club to fundraise in their own unique way for a group selected cause. Last year, the club's raised over $8,000 for Donors Choose. This year, the 11 clubs are working towards fundraising for Hurricane Sandy relief efforts. Be sure to check in with your Eating Club to find out ways that you can get involved.
Leadership Training Workshops
PCCV organizes regular leadership workshops for Pace group leaders. These are aimed to develop various skills such as fundraising, membership retention and administrative development. While we typically feature various Pace leaders to speak on one of the aforementioned skills at the workshops, this year, we are working to host alumni with related experiences to share their insight. Leadership Training Workshops are wonderful opportunities for Pace groups develop skills, network, get to know other leaders on campus and learn more about Pace resources. Check our website for updates on upcoming workshops!
Mentorship / Campus Development
PCCV has started a new dinner series called 'Food for Thought.' Each dinner is moderated by a faculty speaker who leads a discussion on an issue related to civic engagement. These dinners are open to any Princeton student. PCCV is also working on designing a Pace mentorship program that will connect incoming freshmen with their peers in the Pace Center.
Student Group Advising
PCCV offers all Pace reognized groups helpful advising for group's events, finiancial accounts, and learning how to become a new group!
PCCV has created an opportunity for individuals and groups (recognized and unrecognized) to improve an existing civic engagement/service project or make a great new idea come to life. The fund is intended to help develop and implement innovative ideas that promote civic engagement. TGIF recipients work closely and frequently with PCCV members and other TGIF recipients to implement their ideas/projects.
'What Matters' Video Campaign
PCCV is working on developing a video to demonstrate the wide array of civic engagement opportunities available to students as well as the diversity of the students involved with these projects. We hope that this will be an effective way to spark a conversation that will get more people talking about Princeton's civic engagement scene.
