About this video
Can you feel it? Judging hot and cold
Can you feel it? Judging hot and cold
If you picked up a paper book and a metal box do you think one would feel colder to the touch or would they feel the same? Watch this clip to see if people's predictions about the temperature of objects match their observations. You may be as surprised as they are!
Things to think about
Before viewing
When you touch an object and it feels warm or cold what is that really telling you about the object?
Can you think of an example where one object may feel warmer than another even when both are at the same temperature?
As you view
One of the women quizzed about the temperature of two items says 'Now I believe you'. How did Dr Muller convince her? Why is the use of evidence important?
Listen carefully as Dr Muller uses his knowledge of scientific concepts to explain what people are observing.
After viewing
In the clip Dr Muller says that when you touch something you don't don't actually feel temperature. You feel the rate at which heat is conducted either towards or away from you. What does he mean?
Why did the ice melt more quickly on the metal block than on the plastic block?
Next steps
Imagine waiting for the school bus on a cold and frosty morning. One bench at the bus stop is wooden and the other metal. Explain to a friend or family member which bench you would choose to sit on and why.
See if you can use the terms 'thermal conductor', 'heat transfer' and examples from the clip in your explanation.
00:00:01:05DR DEREK MULLER:When you touch an object and it feels warm or cold, what is that really telling you about the object? Here, I have a metal hard drive and a book and I'm going to ask people to compare their temperatures. Which one do you think will feel warmer - the book or the hard drive?00:00:16:05WOMAN 1:The temperatures?00:00:17:05DR DEREK MULLER:Yeah, tell me if one is hotter or colder or if they're the same temperature. How do they feel?00:00:21:17MAN 1:This is slightly cooler than this one.00:00:23:12WOMAN 2:Oh, that's warmer.00:00:25:23MAN 2:Yeah, agreed.00:00:27:03MAN 3:I'd say the hard drive is a lot colder than the book. 'Cause the book's got more knowledge.00:00:33:16DR DEREK MULLER:Why do you think that is?00:00:35:11WOMAN 3:Metal's normally a little bit chillier if you leave it in a colder temperature.00:00:40:00DR DEREK MULLER:What if I said they're both the same temperature? What would you say?00:00:43:10MAN 2:I'd tell you you're lying.00:00:44:20WOMAN 3:I'd think you were lying, yeah.00:00:46:10DR DEREK MULLER:Well, maybe the way I can prove it is I have an infrared thermometer. What do you think we're going to see?00:00:52:13MAN 3:I think science might be able to answer that. And I'm not a scientist!00:00:56:02DR DEREK MULLER:Make a prediction for me.00:00:57:17MAN 1:I still think that's colder.00:00:59:04DR DEREK MULLER:Would you bet me money?00:01:00:19MAN 1:I don't have any cash.00:01:03:10DR DEREK MULLER:Let's measure the temperature of the book. What do you see?00:01:07:15WOMAN 3:19.0.00:01:08:15DR DEREK MULLER:OK. Now measure the temperature of that.00:01:11:23WOMAN 3:19.0. Alright, well, now, I believe you.00:01:16:02MAN 4:I'm trying to figure it out, actually. Trying to figure out why'd they be the same temperature. They don't feel the same temperature, though.00:01:22:00DR DEREK MULLER:So, why does that feel colder if they're the same?00:01:24:16MAN 2:Good one. You know the answer?00:01:26:06DR DEREK MULLER:I'm coming to you guys for answers.00:01:28:06WOMAN 4:We're creatives, not intellectuals.00:01:30:02DR DEREK MULLER:Create an answer for me!00:01:31:22WOMAN 1:I'm not a scientist! Come on, you tell me.00:01:34:20DR DEREK MULLER:I'll try to answer that question with another little experiment. Here is an aluminium block.00:01:39:15WOMAN 1:Ooh! Nice and cold.00:01:42:08DR DEREK MULLER:And a plastic block. How do their temperatures compare?00:01:46:10WOMAN 1:Completely different.00:01:48:01MAN 2:Aluminium's going to be much colder.00:01:49:20DR DEREK MULLER:Yeah?00:01:50:20MAN 4:This actually feels colder.00:01:52:00DR DEREK MULLER:Let's take this to the next level. I'll put an ice cube on both plates. What will we see?00:01:58:02WOMAN 3:I'm guessing it would stay solid on this one and melt on this one.00:02:02:20DR DEREK MULLER:So it's going to melt on the plastic but stay solid on the aluminium?00:02:06:05WOMAN 3:Yes, but maybe I'm wrong.00:02:08:20DR DEREK MULLER:That one will melt more quickly than on the aluminium.00:02:11:10WOMAN 1:You'd think so.00:02:13:01MAN 4:Yeah, 'cause it's cold.00:02:14:06WOMAN 4:I think they're the same.00:02:15:16DR DEREK MULLER:We put an ice cube on each of those. What do you see?00:02:18:21MAN 3:It's melting quicker on the aluminium.00:02:20:20MAN 4:My God, it's melting!00:02:22:15WOMAN 5:This is melting quicker than that one, even though this is aluminium and that's plastic.00:02:26:02DR DEREK MULLER:So which one felt colder?00:02:27:17MAN 1:This one.00:02:28:17DR DEREK MULLER:How does that make sense?00:02:30:07MAN 1:No idea.00:02:31:12MAN 3:Could aluminium be bad for the environment?00:02:34:05DR DEREK MULLER:How would aluminium be bad for the environment?00:02:36:10MAN 3:It's thawing the ice quicker, isn't it?00:02:38:05DR DEREK MULLER:You want the answer?00:02:39:15WOMAN 1:Yes, please!00:02:41:09DR DEREK MULLER:It's about thermoconductivity - the rate at which heat is transferred from one object to another. So when you felt these blocks originally, I know this one felt a lot colder. But you know from the other example we did, that they must both be the same temperature.00:02:53:09MAN 1:True.00:02:54:09DR DEREK MULLER:They've both been outside for a while. We see the aluminium block is melting the ice faster than the plastic block because it's conducting the heat to the ice cube faster. With the plastic block, it's a worse thermoconductor. So, heat is being transferred less quickly to this ice block and so it's staying iced.00:03:12:07WOMAN 3:OK. I believe you.00:03:13:19DR DEREK MULLER:Make sense?00:03:14:23WOMAN 5:Yes. Definitely.00:03:15:23DR DEREK MULLER:In our first example, the hard drive felt colder, even though it was at the same temperature as the book. That's because the aluminium conducts heat away from your hand faster than the book conducts heat away from your hand.00:03:27:18MAN 3:Sure. That seems logical.00:03:29:05DR DEREK MULLER:Which makes the hard drive feel colder and the book feel warmer. So when you touch something, you don't actually feel temperature. You feel the rate at which heat is conducted, either towards or away from you. Think about this next time you hop out of the shower in winter. It's much nicer to stand on the bath mat than on a towel beside it. Not because the bath mat is warmer but because it conducts heat less quickly away from you.

|For centuries, women of all parts of the world have been subject to discrimination and prejudice. While the struggle in defense of their rights is stronger every day, in many countries the position of women in society is far from expected. Such is the case of Puerto Rican women, exploited as women and as colonized people. This paper highlights some of the elements that affect the participation of women in Puerto Rican society and the awareness that is taking place in some sectors, in spite of the obstacles it faces.

Big Finish Reveals The King of Sontar Cover!
Big Finish is due to yet again mark a number of firsts as well as welcome back some familiar faces!
As we reach the endgame for the second series of The Fourth Doctor Adventures, we already have the third series to look forward to come January 2014 and there's no slowing the old Time Lord down.
The new series opening story, The King of Sontar, will see a welcome return of the Sontarans as they face off against the intrepid TARDIS team that is the Fourth Doctor and Leela and you can now view the cover for the adventure as well. Blurring the lines between Doctor Who's current television adventures and the Big Finish universe, the company have enlisted the talents of Dan Starkey to play Sontaran Strang. If Starkey's performance alongside Baker is anything like his performance alongside Matt Smith's Eleventh Doctor (and we're sure it will be) then we're in for a real treat!
Once again, the Time Lords sense trouble and dispatch the Fourth Doctor to take care of it:
Dowcra base. The third Elite Sontaran Assassination Squad closes in on its target. A dozen trained killers, but even they will be unable to bring down the invincible Strang…
Manipulated by the Time Lords, the TARDIS also arrives on Dowcra. And the Doctor is set to encounter the greatest Sontaran ever cloned…
Reuniting Tom Baker and Louise Jameson once again as well as including Sapphire & Steel regulars David Collings (Poul from The Robots of Death), David Seddon, Jenny Funnell, Big Finish stalwart John Banks and the brillaint Dan Starkey, The King of Sontar will be a fine way to start off 2014!
You can pre order The King of Sontar on CD or via download from www.bigfinish.com now, the release date is marked as January 2014.
5 Responses to Big Finish Reveals The King of Sontar Cover!
That's awesome that they got Starkey. He's my favorite Sontaran(s)!
Its is cool that they got Dan Starkey to be a Sontaran on audio. Although this story does seem to ret-con "The Invasion of Time", which was Leela's first encounter with the Sontarans.
I think they mentioned in Vortex that they have a plan, and wait and see.
BF isn't canon though, is it? Shouldn't affect what happens in the TV show.
BF is canon, just DW's canon is very loose – even within the TV show. BF is canon, but DW carries a sensibility (as I recall Cornell noted about RTD), that the less people have seen the less important it is to keep consistency – so trying to adhere to BF's massive catalogue when airing a mainstream show would be as sensible as ensuring Coal HIll School looked identical in Day of the Doctor. By and large there aren't massive issues I've noted between BF and the show. BF is good like that.

John Stossel: Washington, the imperial city
It's like they live in a private bubble.
Politicians say, "I'm going to Washington to serve others." Maybe they mean to. But after most "serve," they never leave. When I visit Washington, I see politicians and bureaucrats serving themselves.
When the housing bubble burst, home prices dropped in most of America, but not in Washington. Our capital feeds off federal spending, and politicians won't allow that bubble to burst.
One result is that, today, for the first time, most of America's richest counties are in the Washington area. About 43 percent of "the 1 percent" - the top earners leftists say they hate - now live in 14 counties that surround the District of Columbia.
Nick Sorrentino, creator of AgainstCronyCapitalism.org, notes that average total compensation for a federal employee is now about $120,000, and the gap between government pay and private pay has been growing.
It's not that Washingtonians are smarter or more productive than the rest of us. It's that as government grows, more money flows to lobbyists, trade groups and others who live close to those who pass out your money. Government is a parasite - but a parasite that helps its friends. The way people get rich in Washington is not by inventing things, but by being good at schmoozing and manipulating the bureaucrats who control your money.
Tourists visit Washington and admire the beautiful buildings. All that marble once made me feel patriotic, too, but now I get angry.
Unions claim workers are "under"-paid. But today's union headquarters resemble palaces. The biggest teachers union, the National Education Association, built a $100 million Washington headquarters that it calls "an environmental oasis." The AFL-CIO's beautiful lobby features a giant mosaic made of marble, glass and gold. When I tried to take pictures, so TV viewers could see the elegance, I was told to leave.
Government buildings are grand, too, even new ones like the Reagan office building. "It's very much like Versailles before the French Revolution," says historian John Steele Gordon. Washingtonians have become like the French nobility, who spent their lives in the palace at Versailles "and didn't know much about what went on outside that world."
"But the real royalty is not in Washington, D.C.," Rep. Alan Grayson, D-Fla., tells me. "It's on Wall Street."
It's true that there's more wealth on Wall Street, but Gordon points out that there's a big difference between those fat cats and Washingtonians. "In the private sector, if you find a way to cut costs, you're a hero. If you find a way to cut costs in the (government) bureaucracy, you're a goat."
You're a "goat" because cutting waste hurts the lobbyists who feed off taxpayers. With trillions of dollars at stake, corporations and special interests would be crazy not to lobby. Lobbyists and taxpayer-funded special privilege won't go away unless big government does.
We could improve America's future just by recognizing what so-called "public choice" economists started to realize around the time of World War II: that government isn't just a "public servant." It's not a demon, either. But government and its employees are selfish, like anyone else. That explains most of their behavior better than occasional shifts to the political left or right.
We all tend to overspend and act lazy when we can get away with it. In the private sector, though, that eventually means that you get fired or realize you're depleting your bank account. In Washington, the Fed just prints more money.
As long as Washington spends other people's money, there will be little incentive for them to be prudent - or humble.
John Stossel is host of "Stossel" on the Fox Business Network. He's the author of "No They Can't: Why Government Fails, but Individuals Succeed."

The Behind the Scenes Pic of the Day honors the late, great Jane Russell!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with today's Behind the Scenes Pic!
Today's photo was supposed to be slightly more nerdy, but with the death of one of the hottest women to ever seduce an audience from the silver screen I felt a replacement was in order.
Jane Russell was famous for the controversy surrounding her bust, which was the big selling point of Howard Hughes' The Outlaw. The censor board held the film up for years before relenting to Hughes' pressure.
She wasn't very prolific, but she made a huge impact on film, appearing in films alongside such talents as Marilyn Monroe, Robert Mitchum, Vincent Price, Glenn Ford, Rod Taylor and William Smith.
My personal favorite underseen Jane Russell flick is 1970's DARKER THAN AMBER, which is also her last film role. The film's based on a John D. MacDonald novel and features a lunatic performance from the great William Smith.
The most known and widely regarded of her work, though, is her co-starring role of Dorothy Shaw in GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES. As iconic as Marilyn Monroe is in that picture it's a great tribute to Russell's talent that she held her own.
Today's pic comes from the making of a film called The French Line, which I have not seen. But it features Russell and the great director Lloyd Bacon, who came out of retirement to direct this picture. Bacon was known for musicals like 42nd Street, Footlight Parade, Wonder Bar and Gold Diggers of 1937, but he also directed some solid gangster pictures, like Brother Orchid.
Bacon is the guy on the right and it's hard to miss Jane Russell. I'm going to include one of the more beautiful glamour shots of her and a great photo of her and Monroe making their mark in front of the Chinese theater as well. Why not?
Thanks for the years of entertainment, Ms. Russell. My thoughts are with your friends, family and fans.
Tomorrow's Behind the Scenes Pic returns to our regularly scheduled nerd pic!

A talent for comedy
by Bindweed
Thanks, Quint, for comemmorating her passing. I was beginning to think AICN had slipped up big time. Jane Russell was an enormously influential woman as far as this young man was concerned... I don't think I can underestimate the impact that those legs had on my formative mind when she appeared, out of the blue, at the end of Road to Bali. Some of my personal favourites among her work were the two Paleface comedies she made with Bob Hope and the much under-seen His Kind of Woman with Bob Mitchum. His Kind of Woman is a real riot, and Vincent Price is a hoot, practically sending up the screen persona he'd eventually adopt as horror king. And Russell is, of course, a natural femme fatale - both she and Mitchum perfectly at home playing with their tongue in cheek. Her stature after such a comparitively low number of movies is testament enough. They certainly don't make 'em like that very often any more.

RIP Jane Russell
by DVaderRIP
Another golden age legend passes on. You will be missed. As for the boobies, I think she was quite comfortable with the place her gigantic jubblies had in the formation of her legacy. As long as you see her as far more than just a life support machine for a pair of tits, I think she'd be alright with it.

As a kid the only thing I knew about Jane Russell
by Grammaton Cleric Binks
was she was in the commercials for some bra line. I think it was the Cross Your Heart bra. I had no idea who she was except for the lady from these commercials. It was only later I realized she was an actress. But yeah, as someone pointed out, bashing, or at least making funny comments in an obit here is perfectly acceptable if the person is a born-again Christian conservative. Try that when some liberal dies, gay, straight, or otherwise, and you'll be banned.

Wait...Brother Orchid? A "solid gangster film"?
by Damned if I can login
Quint...Quint....not even. Now don't get me wrong, I *love* Brother Orchid, which is a COMEDY that revolves around a gangster theme. Although it does seem to have some serious moments, such as Bogart trying to rub out EGR and thus EGR ends up at the monastary. And there were great performances from EGR, Bogie, Ralph Bellamy (his character was a hoot), and Ann Sothern. But a "solid gangster film" would be White Heat. Or Little Ceaser. Or Angels with Dirty Faces.

by eustisclay
..for years. Been waiting for it and another Robert Cluse film. Golden Needles to hit dvd. Guess I didn't realize it was Russells last film. I always thought that her last was The Born Losers, the first Billy Jack film. She played a trashy mother in it, was quite good, and from what I've read about her, was the opposite of her in real life. But I agree with the above, you just don't see women(or men like Mitchum) like that in movies anymore. Our loss.

I gave up long ago on digital image rights when I sell my services download and sharing rights are always part of the deal. I think it is an uphill battle for photographers to try to stop this practice. At the very least they should offer low res digital photos for sharing. Of course I don't do high volume low profit senior pictures either.
Having said that as long as they are clear about what is included in a sitting or shoot on the contract they can sell how they want to sell and it is theft to steal from them without paying.

AOL has begun carrying out the layoffs it announced in January. The company has said it will lay off 10 percent of its work force, about 700 people. They're being cut in Dulles, Va., New York and California, according to Silicon Alley Insider.
Kara Swisher at All Things Digital, however, said the cuts could go deeper as the company focuses on a three-pronged strategy: social networking and communications, content, and advertising.

A Bouncy Seat with an iPad: Is This Bad for Babies?
Sometimes profit margins and effective parenting do not go hand-in-hand. This is one of those times.
It's a product that could have been dreamed up in the pages of The Onion, and conjures images—and not the cute ones—from the film Wall-E (not to mention A Clockwork Orange). Fisher Price has created a Newborn-to-Toddler "Apptivity" Seat intended to soothe and entertain babies via an iPad screen placed… directly in front of their faces.
The internet's abuzz with controversy over whether this is a good thing or not, with "an embarrassment to humankind" on one end of the spectrum, and "what's the big deal?" on the other. And while I appreciate that all parents are just trying to find their ideal balance (or simply the time to poop alone), I don't think this bouncy seat is a rational answer to that need. Of course, the product exists because Fisher Price's market research indicated it would sell; I have no doubt that it will. But sometimes profit margins and effective parenting do not go hand-in-hand, and this is pretty clearly one of those times.
"These chairs go against everything we know about what is in the best interests of a baby's health and development," says Jennifer Margulis, Ph.D., author of The Business of Baby. "The American Academy of Pediatrics has clear recommendations to avoid screen time for children under the age of two; we know infants need to be held, preferably skin-to-skin, and we know there is no substitute for parent-baby interaction to promote language skills and brain development. Yet these chairs strap a baby down and give them no choice but to look at the screen. It won't be long before we have scientific research showing that this is not only a bad idea, it is actually harmful."
Fisher Price's spokespeople have been quick to point out that the iPad attachment can be removed to reveal a simple mirror, and that the apps the seat comes with are "soothing." But what babies find soothing is not a screen with flashy colors, or even slow-moving shapes or patterns. That's stimulating. A parent's voice, or warmth, is soothing. Other apps that come with the seat are intended to help develop babies' eye-tracking skills. But come on, that's what the world is for. I understand the desire, and need, to put your baby down. But my 3-month-old is perfectly happy to develop his eye-tracking skills from the comfort of his normal, non-tech-savvy bouncer seat by watching me walk around the room doing whatever it is I need to do. And if he's not happy, it's my job to stop doing that and to care for his needs.
Like most parents, I sometimes allow my preschooler to watch Yo Gabba Gabba while I make dinner (although honestly, I usually regret it when I do… His post-TV behavior is not awesome). I don't think screens are, as a rule, "bad," or that there's no place for them in the parenting mix. But screens for babies? This just feels unnecessary and unnatural.
Sure, we have to find our parenting balance, but we also have to find our balance as people in a rapidly-developing technological landscape, and to help our children do the same. In the absence of extensive research on the long-term effects of all-things-screens, we have to rely on our gut instincts around this stuff. Just like those futuristic scenes in Wall-E, even images of the "Apptivity" seat (or Google Glass for babies… have you seen this?) give me a gut feeling of "No, wait, that doesn't feel right at all." This isn't a matter of judging other parents; it's a matter of having a baby myself and knowing what he thrives on. It's all about connection for these little people, and the Apptivity seat is not designed with babies' (or, really, even parents') best interests in mind.
What do you think? Is the Apptivity Seat bad for babies?

US TV overlords retreat from White Space invaders
The US National Association of Broadcasters has asked the courts to dismiss its own appeal against the FCC's decision to permit the exploitation of radio White Spaces - and not before time. The appeal was lodged in 2009, when the use of White Space was fiercely debated, but these days there are White Space devices being …
but it turns out that's both impossible and impractical
Good thing, too. I was worried for a spell that it might turn out to be impossible but entirely practical and was not looking forward to the ensuing destruction of reality.
but it turns out that's both impossible and impractical
Every qualified RF engineer in world knew that.
There will be tears to come when users hack the gear and disable the database. It's too early yet to see what a disaster this.
Also this gear for US market will be "grey imported" everywhere else. Very irresponsible of FCC. But they are more interested in Boutique strategy than protecting Licensed Spectrum. The Lightsquared fiasco is partly FCC's fault too.
Lack of problem
may be more due to lack of people using OTA TV. Once the Digital cutover was complete, a lot of folks found their antennae of more use to birds than humans, and had to move to cable or equivalent.
Not that I'm suggesting there was any sort of agenda there...

One Fierce Female: Explorer Felicity Aston Skis Across Antarctica Solo!
Written on February 8, 2012 at 2:26 pm , by FITNESS Intern
Written by Kate Branciforte, editorial intern
Could you ever imagine skiing across Antarctica? How about skiing across Antarctica alone?
Felicity Aston, a 33-year old explorer from Great Britain, did just that last month, and now holds the title as the first women in history to cross the continent. She is also now the world record holder for the longest solo journey ever made by a woman! Talk about girl-power.
Aston began skiing during her first trip to Antarctica when she was 23, and has enjoyed the sport ever since. For the past 10 years, Aston has taken expeditions all over the world and in 2006 she started to lead these expeditions. After training a group of women for their first trip to the South Pole, she decided to make the trek by herself.
Why did you want to do this alone?
I did it alone because I think I was curious to see if I could. When I hear about an expedition, my question is always, "Would I behave in that way?" and I was curious to find out if I could.
How did you train?
It was all about endurance and stamina. I did a lot of high-intensity walks while pulling tires with a harness along the beach. The sand is very similar to snow. The training isn't something I enjoy, but it was a means to an end. I need to do this or else I would not be able to do that.
What did you take with you?
It had to be very lightweight, because I was pulling absolutely everything. I started out with two sleds that weighed almost 190 pounds—that's like a full-grown man! I didn't have as much clothing as you would think.
To hear about Aston's 5,000-calorie diet and how she dealt with fear, click below.

Fashion Diaries: Brighten Up!
Written on January 27, 2012 at 10:12 am , by Marla Horenbein
It is usually around this time of year—after all of the fun holiday festivities are over and the new year has settled in—that winter goes from fab to drab. The twinkling lights of Christmas trees dwindle, all of the yummy treats have been eaten and the cold, unwanted winter air sticks around for much longer than many of us would like. And dare I say SNOW—thinking about it makes me cringe! If you are feeling like winter is getting the best of you, fear no more. I have the cure: Fun, colorful pieces to brighten up those winter blues!
- After hitting the weights to work off all of those cookies you ate during the holidays, swipe on some of this Bobbi Brown lip gloss in cosmic pink. It will instantly brighten your face for a fun and fresh look.
- Did your New Year's resolution of working out more fail after only a few days? Run out of your rut by trying out these awesome neon green Saucony sneaks which will be sure to put a little pep in your step.
- Does your iPhone lack some spunk? We're totally digging this bright green Incipio phone case.
- Be proud of your sexy, toned arms and rock some wrist-candy like this technicolor Dannijo bracelet. It's super fun, don't you think?
- Break away from the boring black sports bra, by trying something in a cool color or print. This girly and fun heart-printed bra from Forever 21 is most definitely a winner in our books.
- Attention all surfers! We've found the perfect tide watch (it's Nixon!) to brighten your surf sessions.
- There are tons of iPad and tablet cases out there on the market, but we love the sporty yet fashionable take on the Marc by Marc Jacobs version. And it's neoprene! What could be better than that?!
- Tote all your stuff to the gym in a Puma bag that's roomy enough for all of the essentials.
- Wearing these sunny yellow Sperry TopSider boat shoes on a dreary day will have you wishing it was summer more than ever. A girl can dream can't she?

Baby it's cold outside! But for those of us training, sans gym membership, or just yearning for some fresh air, we can't let the chilly weather keep us from an outdoor workout. If you find your morning runs too cold, have achy joints, or just want to make it through a run without wiping out, we hear you! That's why we asked Dr. Scott Weiss, clinical director and owner of Bodhizone Physical Therapy your burning cold weather workout questions. Read on below to see how you can have a successful workout no matter what the weather.
The cold weather makes my joints hurt! What stretches can I do before a workout to stop constantly feeling sore?
If cold weather is making you sore, the worst thing to do is go and stretch since you're more likely to pull a muscle or tear some cartilage. In the cold weather, the key is total body warmth. Spend a little more time warming up, by adding 5-10 minutes to your normal warm-up routine. Stretching while your joints are warm will then enhance flexibility and range of motion while also reducing your chance of injury.
Sometimes when I go for a run in the winter, my toes lose feeling. Why is this happening and how can I fix it?
Most of the time numb toes are a minor circulatory or footwear issue. Try making a fist with your toes, or do some calf raises to get the blood pumping. Once you get home, be sure to elevate your feet to relieve the pressure. If tingling persists, it could be something more serious (like frostbite), and you should contact a physician.

Olympic Snowboarder Hannah Teter's Winter Workout
Written on November 18, 2011 at 12:48 pm , by Colleen Travers
For most of us, winter is a time to hole up in the gym, trading in our favorite trails for the treadmill. For Olympic snowboarder Hannah Teter, it's prime time to amp up her training routine. We got the chance to chat with Teter about her workouts in both seasons, her favorite moves to nail, and more. Read on and get inspired to hit the slopes this season!
Tell us about your training routines during in season and off?
My workouts during the off-season consist of slack lining (a variation of tight rope walking, with the rope being more slack than pulled tight), surfing, jumping on the trampoline and biking. Slack lining is insanely good for balancing skills, working your core, and mental strength. I love it because you can set it up anywhere, even between two trees. I usually warm up on the slack line and then do 360s, walk backwards, and 180-degree jumps.
Once the summer is over I snowboard pretty much every day, on top of traveling. I recently started to practice Ashtanga yoga, so I'll incorporate that into my workouts during the winter as well.

Disappearing app shortcuts following an updateStatus: Closed
When an app updates, the shortcut disappears from my HD+ home screen and has to be manually reinstated.
This does not happen with my android phone - following updates the shortcuts still remain intact.
2.1 Update Can no longer read ComicsStatus: Closed
Many are reporting "DRP Reader Failed" error message while trying to read cbz files.
Page numbers are missing from the ToC on NST/G in release 1.2.0 and 1.2.1Status: Closed
Please add page numbers back to the NST/G table of contents.
Barnes and Noble Readability Enhanced Browser Can't Start After 2.1 updateStatus: Closed
The update to permit use of the Play store is a really good idea (it addresses my earlier Calibre Companion suggestion, for instance) but there are some issues.
For many customers the Article View feature in the stock browser was very helpful. Also, there was decent Flash support in that browser, which is now missing.
The stock browser is still in the /system/app folder, and the bookmarks from it are still on the device, but the program seems to have been hidden from the operating system.
Please reenable the stock browser for 2.1 customers. Many prefer that Article View display to the alternatives and need Flash support.
Disappearing shelves on HD's and HD+Status: Closed
Many posters are heaving difficulty with losing shelves.
One one of the two occasions I lost my shelves (prior to 2.05), it occurred when I used Open Explorer to delect a.doc file I had converted (on the HD) from a .pdf file (using the Office app). I was not hooked up to the computer at the time. Simultaneously, the HD accessed my SD card, even though the file was stored on internal memory.At the time, I thought there might be an issue with either Open Explorer or the Office app, as I was able to recreate it 3 times.
On the other occasion, I was hooked up to the computer like both Compulsive and Juniona, and deleted a corrupted book I had just sideloaded through Calibre; on that occasion, I thought the issue might have been my fault because I may have deleted before I actually closed out the ebook. Again, although all my sideloaded books were on internal memory, the HD tried to access the SD card right before the shelves disappeared.
5ivedom also lost shelves when deleting a scrapbook while connected from the computer. I know Juniona's books were on her SD card; were yours Compulsive?
Others have reported losing shelves when adding a child profile.
It almost seems as if the HD gets mixed up regarding which drive to access in these situations.
Some have also reported losing shelves when turning the HD off and restarting; I'd be curious to know what occurred right before the shutdown and restart. For those reporters, at least one did not have an SD card installed.
Shop function in 1EStatus: Closed
Still can't shop from my Nook 1E. It's been several weeks. Are you actually planning to fix this or not?
Credit Card 'dings' with gift cardStatus: Closed
What is the plan for fixing the CC dings with I buy an ebook with a gift card?
When I buy a book I understand you hit my CC for a few cents (usually 1 - 4). After acknowledging that the CC is valid it should come off. Instead those pennies are being deducted from my order total and the balance is being charged to my gift card and my CC statement comes with a bunch of 0.01 charges. I'm putting together a spreadsheet with all these charges and this has been going on at least since August of last year, I still have to go back to Feb. 2010.
Yes I have removed and readded both credit cards and gift cards, as was suggested by customer support. She has no other solutions except 'check the account after every purchase and call us when it happens'. That does not sound like a solution but like something is broken.
It used to work so any idea when it will work again?
Nook for Android: Archive and Delete options missingStatus: Closed
Since the recent update, the Archive and Delete options have been missing in Nook for Android. If there's a local copy, there is only the "Read" option, otherwise there is only "Download". Will archiving return in the next update?
Transcript of my "online chats" with Barnes and Noble representativesStatus: Closed
Note text in bold
You are now connected with Maan from BN.com
Susan: I ordered this magazine under your $5 off sale on Wednesday June 11. When the price came up as 7.99 I could not delete the order. I spoke to your representative by telephone and she deleted the order and the charge. The order and charge are still in my account.
Susan: Can you help me please?
Susan: Your email to me about that magazine sale was misleading
Susan: Are you there?
Susan: ARE YOU THERE MAAN?
Maan: Thank you for joining Barnes & Noble Digital Chat.
This is Maan.
We appreciate your waiting online.
I understand you have issues with accessing your subscription.
I'd be more than happy to give you an excellent customer service today!
Maan: Hi, Susan!
Maan: First off, we apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused. Let me help you with this.
Maan: Can you please give me a moment while I check this one for you, is that okay?
Susan: Thank you very much.
Susan: Are you still there?
Susan: hello are you still there?
Maan: Thank you for waiting. Sorry for the long wait. Upon checking, there is no price change that took place on the said magazine and there is no refund processed from our end. It is possible a system glitch because it was indicated by previous agent that the order has been cancelled from his end and not credited.
Susan: What do you mean? Am I still charged for a magazine that I did not want?
Maan: That is correct.
The chat session has timed out and is now closed.
You are now connected with Randy from BN.com
Susan: I was disconnected by your representative MAAN because he did not want to deal with my account problem. I will attach the transcript from my chat with him so you can see what the issue is.
Randy: Thank you for joining Barnes and Noble Chat. My name is Randy. I'll be assisting you today.
Randy: I understand you were disconnected while being connected to Digital Support. We apologize for the inconvenience. May I reconnect you to our Digital Support Department?
Susan: I will just get connected again.
Susan: disconnected
Susan: Are you going to assist me or should I call in?>
Randy: As much as we'd like to help you with your concern, our Digital Support Department handles these issues and will be able to assist you further. Would you like me to connect you to them now?
Susan: yes please but do not disconnect me please
Randy: I'll transfer you to them now, and one of our Digital Support Representatives will be joining you shortly.
The chat session has timed out and is now closed.
At this point I am convinced that Barnes and Noble does not care abbout it's customers as long as they get our money somehow, no matter what they say on phone and online chat.
Am I wrong?
I have an HD, a new Glowlight, and I am so angry right now that I feel like sending them both back under the warranty plan, and then buy someone else's e-readers.

My obsession with essential oils is not a secret. I'm always rubbing some on my kids feet or diffusing the house with different aromas. I love the fresh smell. Even better, I love that they have helped our family with different ailments.
Lemongrass was an oil I didn't really think much about as I just chalked it up as an ingredient in homemade bug repellent.
What I didn't know is that lemongrass is also great for sore, tired muscle. Diluted down in some oil, lemongrass is great at relieving aches and pains.
Lemongrass used topically mixed with peppermint has been used to help treat thyroid disorders. I haven't tried it myself yet but I would recommend making sure you dilute your oils before applying and watch to see how you feel. We are all so different when it comes to our body's needs.
And for the fun part! A giveaway for you.

You know that perfect play. The three-point shot right at the buzzer. The grand slam or the touchdown in the last minute to win the game.
Or perhaps, it's a bicycle kick with only twelve minutes left and the game is tied.
For those of you that don't follow the worldwide sport of soccer, I'm sure you're looking at this going "bicycle what?" But it's an extreme soccer move that requires a lot of talent to even try, let alone execute perfectly.

During the last several years, roller derby has made a quick comeback to the sporting scene. Though much less theatrical (and violent) than the popular bouts that were televised during the 60's and early 70's, roller derby has returned to its athletic roots while still holding strong to the fun, hardcore entertainment value that the whole family can enjoy. We are currently home to three flat-track roller derby leagues that I would love to share with you!
Kansas City is in between the seasons of the more well-known sports teams like the Chiefs and Royals. However, that doesn't mean you have to go without your fix of watching two teams duke it out to the tune of Blood, Sweat and Tears. Kansas City is the home to numerous lesser known teams that are just as exciting and just as much fun to root for. Many of them even have taken championships in their divisions. One of my favorites is roller derby.
It's the 2nd week of March, and the minds of basketball fans are likely preoccupied with thoughts of conference tournaments, Selection Sunday, and "bracketology." If you are a basketball novice or a passive fan, you may be wondering what exactly all the "hoopla" is about.
For your viewing pleasure, here's a fond memory of the 2008 KU Championship. Yes, this blog is about basketball, but there's history here too.
Ah, yes! I always know its spring when March Madness arrives. And I'm not talking madness for March because it's finally spring! No, I'm talking basketball!
How many times have you heard "my brackets busted"? Or the Jayhawks will kill the Tigers (or vice versa)? And, the number sixteen never seems quite as sweet as in the month of March.
So, stop by your local MCPL branch and checkout a book or video on the very team you love so much. Then go home, and cheer that team on to victory!
Chris P.Claycomo Branch
Happy Day, the Boys in Blue are back in town. Is Baseball still America's favorite pastime? I'm not sure, but I do know that some of my favorite memories have been cheering with my chums at the ballpark. I met a young man a few years ago that was living out his dream with his Dad to attend a game at every major league stadium in the country. They were half way through their schedule, and had great plans of continuing until they had visited all of them. I thought that was so cool. What a great adventure for a dad and his son!
The arrival of fall means one big thing in our family—football. I grew up in a community where football was king. The man I married also loved football. I knew the family tradition would continue when my oldest son turned 3. All he wanted for Christmas that year was a football uniform. Friday nights became known as "Football Friday." Both of my sons played football in junior high, high school, and college. My daughter became a cheerleader. I was kept busy with taking kids to practice, keeping uniforms clean, and cooking game day meals.&nb
I am a HUGE college basketball fan! Coming from the Midwest, so close to where the game was invented, and being a girl who is over 6' tall, most people would say no wonder! I look forward to the month of March every year and have my favorite teams I love to cheer on to victory. My three favorites, in order, are Duke, KU, and MU. Some of you may be taking a double-take at this moment, wondering how in the world anyone could root for MU and KU at the same time. It's simple, really. That's what I like about living near the border of states.
I love sports. I love how logical people believe sitting in a certain chair or wearing certain clothes will help their team win. I love the belief by fans that the reason their team (or in some cases, the city (Cleveland) is cursed is because of a billy goat or player trade. This brings me to my husband. He is originally from Wisconsin and wears the cheesehead proudly for the Packers and Brewers.

Bases Loaded
|Developer: Tose Co., Ltd.
|Publisher: Jaleco
|Release Date: 1988
|Also On: None
This was the baseball game to play when I was younger, there was nothing else. If you wanted to play baseball on the NES you put this in, otherwise forget it. Now, lots of people out there might be screaming about Baseball Stars, but really, Bases Loaded was the most iconic baseball title for the NES, hands down. Everyone knows what it is. How does it fare after all these years? Pretty damn good.
Bases Loaded is meant to look more realistic than what came before, namely Baseball. At this time, there was very little to overcome. But boy, did they do it. Though there is still something of a primitive look to Bases Loaded, it's undeniable they were able to achieve a high level of realism. The animations are extremely close to real life, down to details like the pitcher scanning the bases. Switching to the field is close to Baseball, with a little more detail and more fluid movement. They also threw in some cinematics that are pretty choppy in appearance but manage to get the job done. Bases Loaded is strongest in the main play view with the batter and pitcher, the field screens look aged. Some graphics are just downright silly, like the umpire lacking legs behind the catcher, the fact that black players are suddenly white when you see the field, or the hovering, disembodied catcher's mitt that moves for balls that are thrown too far to one side.
Some people don't like the music in Bases Loaded, but I find it fitting. It has this 'down at the stadium' appeal, recalling an early 1900s style that fits the sport, but it does have the potential to get annoying since it plays through most of the game. There is some variation, but some may find them tedious after awhile. The volume level is a little low too. The sound effects are fine, some people complain about the 'metallic' sound of the ball hitting the bat, but this crushing effect always gave it that extra oomph that defined it during its time, so I don't find it to be a problem. The bouncing, running, everything is done generally very well in Bases Loaded.
Bases Loaded is, of course, a baseball game. The general controls you're going to find in most baseball titles applies. Where Bases Loaded changed it up, however, was with the main play view, which takes place behind the picture, instead of the batter. This was not new, but it hadn't been seen on the NES. You have different teams to select with their own strengths and weaknesses, pinch hitters, relief pitchers, stats, and a massive pennant race. In addition, Bases Loaded has a ton of pitching and batting options. Your batter can swing in a whopping nine different areas, and your pitcher can adjust position on the mound and the angle of the ball using the same areas. This provides lots of opportunity for strategy and timing, and trust me, this makes this game a lot of fun with two human players. Probably the most fun you could have with NES baseball. The computer play, however, is a different story. Here's a bit before I go on:
Another problem is fielding. God, Bases Loaded really needed this tweaked. Your fielders move fine, but the problem is you don't know where the damn ball is going to land, so you have to get really good at judging distance, moving your players offscreen and hoping to God you catch the ball. Unlike Baseball Stars, there's no room for error when the ball hits the outfield; if you're not in the right spot, the computer will run all the way home. There are also a number of strange glitches in Bases Loaded. One time, the computer caught a fly ball that first bounced in front of its outfielder. For some reason, the fielder froze, and I was able to run all the way home. Another time, the ball rolled in a spot a little skewed from the first baseman's position, and the computer player jerked down to the plate, then threw the ball to himself as I gingerly stepped onto first in a play that never should have happened. I noticed a number like this. They're not common, but proof of poor play testing.
Still there's no denying it, for the NES, Bases Loaded was the first game to take a realistic, thorough approach to baseball. The graphics were designed to look as real as possible, the gameplay was made to function in a more realistic fashion, it's just chock full of realism. Would have been nice to see some real players and teams, but that costs money. Plus, since this was the first game to really appear after Baseball, you can see why it blew everyone away. What was done here was pretty groundbreaking for the NES.
Bases Loaded is a great game to play now and then, especially with a friend. One good thing is you can play a single game if you want, using the password feature to keep coming back to win the pennant. And boy, do you have to put in some work for that! You have to go through at least eighty games before the finals, which could take you a good year. I've never done it myself, but it's doubtful you'd want to play it every single day to accomplish this goal. The teams never get any more difficult and once you learn one team's method of play you'll pretty much defeat them without much difficulty. But, if you're looking for a game with a hell of a lot of depth, Bases Loaded delivers.
Bases Loaded has a few features that could have used adjustment, and it's very difficult to get used to batting, but thankfully if you put in the time you'll have a lot of fun with it. There's a reason this was the most popular baseball title for the NES, in spite of what modern fans might tell you about games like Baseball Stars. Bases Loaded has real challenge, real action, and real depth. It's one of my favorite baseball titles for the NES, and it's not due to nostalgia.

There are a lot of good hip hop albums coming out in the next few weeks. I'm about to be broke buying all this music!
I know…it's weird to hear that people still buy music these days, but I like to show my support for the independent artists (or those who are in the mainstream, but are still very different from most of the other artists you hear on the radio).
Don't get it twisted though, I'll bootleg the hell out of a Jay-Z or Kanye album — they already have enough money.
9/18: Brother Ali "Mourning in America and Dreaming in Color"
9/25: Lupe Fiasco "Food & Liquor 2" and Murs & Fashawn "This Generation"
10/2: Bambu "…One Rifle Per Family"
10/9: Macklemore & Ryan Lewis "The Heist"
10/16: Dumbfoundead "Take the Stares"
Macklemore (http://respect-mag.com/exclusive-interview-macklemore-and-ryan-lewis-at-the-bowery/)
[Real talk. I've always admired and respected songwriters who aren't afraid to show their vulnerability and put it all out there. In addition to Macklemore, some other MCs that come to mind are Brother Ali, Murs, and Kiwi. It's easier said than done, but it's something that I strive to do as well.]

WESTWOOD (KTLA) -- Doctors at the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center have performed the first successful hand transplant in the state of California, hospital officials announced Monday. It was the 13th such operation in the performed in the nation.
The recipient was a 26-year-old mother from Northern California, who lost her right hand in a traffic accident five years ago.
The operation took 14 hours and finished around 2:30 p.m. Saturday, UCLA officials said. It took a team of 17 doctors, anesthesiologists, nurses and operating room technicians.
The woman, whose name was not released, is said to be doing well.
The recipient contacted UCLA last year, but doctors had to wait to find a donor hand that matched her tissue type and had a similar size, color and hair pattern.
The donor hand came from a Southern California family via Lifesharing, a nonprofit organ and tissue recovery organization based in San Diego and Imperial counties.
No other information was released about the donor.
Dr. Kodi Anzari, surgical director of UCLA's hand transplant program, said the donor hand was an almost "uncanny" match for the recipient.
Azari led the operation, which was the UCLA team's first case. He said the woman was an ideal candidate because she was healthy and well-informed about the procedure. She was selected from about 50 potential patients.
"I am ecstatic with the results -- a little tired, but ecstatic," Azari said after the surgery.
Doctors hope the recipient will have good function in her new hand with the proper care and physical therapy.
"This surgery is part of the UCLA tradition of excellence in transplantation, and this is clearly a landmark event," said Dr. Ronald Busuttil, executive chair of the UCLA Department of Surgery and founder of the UCLA Liver Transplant Program.
UCLA launched the hand transplant unit last year. It is the fourth such center in the United States.
The first hand transplant was performed in France in 1998. Since the, more than 40 hand transplants have been done around the world.
The first hand transplant in the U.S. was at Jewish Hospital in Louisville, Kentucky in 1999.Copyright © 2014, Hartford Courant

The advantage of using PMP training to get ahead of others is one of the best parts of learning project management from PMI. Their years of expertise, and the capabilities to mold new generation project managers have made them one of the premier institutes in the country. The popularity of the institute has grown to such an extent that the executives of companies from different countries have also begun to adopt the PMP certification. Many professionals have begun getting job offers from the industry giants on the backing of this alone.
Advantages of PMP
With the PMP certification, professionals will get a chance to showcase their talents and skill to micromanage the projects of magnitude that would otherwise be spearheaded by experienced senior executives only. There are also many alternatives and subjective project management certificates like CAPM, PMI-RMA and many other's which gives clear information about whether PMP training online is available and also about the different variations of the same scheme of project management.
Online training for PMP
Online training for any subject has this disadvantage that it does not allow for any personal interaction form the immediate vicinity. With the help of PMP online training, however, you can definitely get your work schedule or your study schedule adjusted around each other. This enables you to get the very best kind of exposure of the project management field, even when you are employed. With the help of this, you can apply whatever theories you learn in class into the practical work life to get a live demo.
