Revell F-4E Cockpit Part
1 of 4
article is about scratch-building an illuminated cockpit for the Revell kit F-4E
(1/32). I divided the full article into 4 installments, so I could go into some
details and describe them as closely as possible.
- Part
1: Building the front cockpit: design of the cockpit panels, adding lights.
- Part
2: Completing the front cockpit: the instrument panel, the HUD.
- Part
3: Building the rear cockpit: side console panels. Dry fit of the cockpit tub.
- Part
4: Completing the rear cockpit: the Instrument panel. Final details and
wanted this project to capitalize on my experience acquired by building the A380
(1/144), fully illuminated with fiber optics (FO). The Phantom F-4E had to
receive the best possible cockpit, which meant building everything from scratch.
I had a 1/32 Revell model in my stash, which would just be fine for this
purpose. I decided to build a Hellenic Air Force (HAF) F-4E "Peace Icarus",
featuring the latest Avionics Upgrade Program (AUP). This allowed me to build an
upgraded cockpit into the mighty Phantom, with all the bells and whistles
pertaining to modern fighters technology.
started the project by snapping together the kit's original cockpit parts. A
little Blue Tack here and there helped to keep the parts together. I had two
Tamiya pilots in my spare box, so I sat them into the Revell cockpit.
From this point on I started designing the cockpit side consoles and instrument panels. I used a cheap 2D design computer program to draw various copies in order to "right size" the new parts. I checked this by cutting the "blue prints" and Blue-Tacking them onto the kit cockpit tub.
The front instrument panel was checked with the pilot sitting in the seat. Finally I test-closed the cockpit side walls with all the new cardstock parts taped in place. Note the green squares on the panels: these are the place where the Multi Function Displays (MFD) would fit.
How did
I design the panels? I used a mix of references: cockpit layouts from the
"Dash 1" (technical manual) and pictures from the actual AUP cockpit. The
design happened to be quite complicated, so I needed a more robust CAD program.
I learnt AutoCAD from scratch, which slowed down my progress pace quite a bit.
It took me 2-3 months to become familiar with the program's extensive features
and draw the cockpit layouts. But the result was well worth the effort, as you
will see later on.
Below is a copy of an original "Dash 1" layout, and two screen shots showing the level of detail I could achieve on my design: realistic instruments, readable stencils, etc Later in the articles I will show you that you can even check the frequency settings on the COM / NAV panels.
font cockpit, with its right hand side panel completed shows how the FOs run
from the underside of the panel to the light source, a regular white LED,
powered with a 9V battery. On the finished model, the power source will be
external, so I do not have to care about providing an access panel to change the
battery inside of the model.
The FOs are glued with 2-component epoxy. It looks like an Alien nest, but the only one who drooled over the cockpit is me. And I am my no way an Alien
I cut out each sub-panel and glued them individually over the FOs with Microscale Crystal Clear. This provided a realistic 3D look and feel to the assembly. A dry fit with the kit's seat and Tamiya pilot shows that everything is progressing well. Note that on the two pictures below, I still use the kit's original front instrument panel. It was soon to be changed for a better, custom-etched brass panel.
On the lightbox is the etching master, printed on a sheet of transparent foil. In the background is the same print, with different layers activated, on cardstock. The second photo shows the etched brass sheet against the cardstock print.
I cut out the various brass parts and folded them on a "Hold and Fold" tool. On the tool is the front instrument panel. The last photo shows the pilot, sitting in front of his brand-new brass instrument panel. His right hand is supposed to hold the control stick, not a beer
first steps in the construction of the scratch-built cockpit were completed at a
slow pace between September 2004 and January 2005.
The next article will tell you how I populated the front instrument panel with actually illuminated instruments.

I've been following the progress of the Raspberry Pi, Raspberry Pi | An ARM GNU/Linux box for $25. Take a byte! which is just going into manufacturing. Unfortunately it won't be manufactured in the UK as companies get charged import duties for importing the individual components, but not if the item is already manufactured, ie the components soldered onto the board. Therefore it's too expensive to build the thing in the UK, so it's being made in China.

Princess Hijab is an anonymous street artist working primarily in Paris. Its art centres on veiling the main characters on subway advertisements using black paint. Few facts are known about Princess Hijab except that this person was born in 1988, that much of their known work has appeared in metro stations across Paris.
Princess Hijab is recognized as the founder of "hijabism", a movement based on the "niqabizing", or "hijabizing" of advertising images. It is widely recognized for its iconic images of veiled girls, boys and courting couples on advertising posters, which reference contemporary culture, celebrity culture and the world of fashion. Its humour attempts to expose contradictions inherent in mainstream culture.
Despite the controversy surrounding its work, Princess Hijab insists that it is not involved in any political or religious lobbies and has no links with the advertising industry: "She [Princess Hijab] is the leader of an artistic fight, nothing else".
def going to look for her work around Paris!

Preston Castle
The Castle has seen its share of death. Seventeen boys lost their lives in the hospital to diseases such as tuberculosis and typhoid fever. Sam Goins was shot in the back by a prison guard in 1922 during his third escape attempt. He was only 20. Starvation, isolation, and public paddling and lashings, severe strategies were common at Preston. In 1950, Anna Corbin, a former head housekeeper, was found locked in a store room off the executive kitchen bludgeoned to death. One of the castle's black children, Eugene Monroe was tried twice for this crime, but the jury was hung each time. To this day, no one has been convicted for her murder. Her spirit is believed to still walk the halls of Preston Castle. Many have witnessed slamming doors, falling objects, disembodied voices, and physical contact by unseen people. During Ghost Trackers investigation, they collected photos of alleged orbs and shadows and EVPs, including a male humming. The Ghost Adventures team began their second season at the castle. They experienced female screams, knocking, sounds of eggs frying in a pan, and electronic malfunctions. Three scratches appeared on Aaron's leg and Zak was allegedly possessed for a period of time. They captured several EVPs, mist and orbs on camera.
Preston Castle is not open to the public but does offer tours, including ghost tours and overnight stays, for a price. To spend the night in this haunted castle, it'll cost $100 per person. The cost includes pizza for dinner and soda/water for the night. You must bring your own sleeping bag, pillows, clothing, toiletries, and any kind of investigative equipment you plan to use during the night. The only areas open for investigations are the grounds inside the fence and around the castle, the visitor's center, the garage/old solitary confinement area, the castle's basement, 1st floor and 2nd floor. The upper floors are too dangerous. To ensure your safety, each group will be accompanied by a Ghost Trackers Paranormal Research group member. All money goes to the continuing restoration of the castle.

I think that all of the places are haunted by ghosts in all haunted places and as for ghost hunters they need to find out for sure if there is really ghosts for sure sure from wendy sells
I just think this is such a horrible place it shouldn't be restored. Americans must be proud to save a building were kids were tortured, and kept prisoner. What people miss here is why these things were happening. Deaths like these mentioned shouldn't have happened.
Let me see if I can talk some sense into some of you people who seem emotionless. Sam Goins was scheduled to be released two months after he was killed by the guard. He tried to run away three times, and was caught the third time. He only stayed at Preston Castle for about a couple years. Don't you wounder what the heck was so bad in there that he tried to run away in such a short period of time so many times. If only Sam Goins could talk now what would he tell us. Jo Lopez who was with him that day also died shortly after. Hmm sounds like he was murdered by the staff to keep things quiet. What awful people they were to do horrible things to children. I'm just glad it is closed hope none like it show up again. Anna Corbin was not killed for no reason. Not trying to justify her murder just saying she probably mistreated those boys in there, and they snapped on her.
Someone has to come out with the truth behind Sam Goins and Jo Lopez deaths, and what really happened at the castle... it was awfully suspicious for Goins to be shot to death by John Kelly - a gueard, on his attempt to escape, and Lopez killed soon?
instead of a rehabilitating school, it was like a high security prison... kinda makes me wonder what kind of terror was introduced there...

The place represents history....good or bad. People still visit places were millions were executed. Horrible yes as well as interesting.
I believe that Preston Castle should be restored because of its shady, horrific, and mysterious past. The Castle is in a way a beautiful because of the architecture, which was meant to look regal to inspire hope and give a sense of who was in control. Another reason Preston Castle should be restored is so that the Castle will serve as a reminder of the past and what we learned from it so the same disturbing events such as the beatings and murders will not happen again. To destroy the Castle is like burying something no one wants to remember: out of sight, out of mind. The same horrible treatment was in insane asylms and other reformatories such as the Mansfeild Reformatory in Ohio.
Deaths and things at Preston Castle may have been bad ,but we must never loose site or thought of what happened there! Just as Slavery , Hangings, Burnings Holocaust, We must not forget we must persue, study, and be reminded in order for these things to not happen again!
All these anonymous comments. What are you afraid of someone seeing what you had to say? If you are ashamed of it why say it?
Im 36, I'm a professional chef now, but I spent 3 years here in Preston when I was 13 years old.... The castle is clothes n the Youth Authority is now behind the castle, sometimes at night when we stayed up late we could see figures moving around in there, we would tell the guards the next day but would just laugh at us. I think the castle is a very important part of California history, and it should b preserved.
Anonymous, your time line doesn't work out. If you are 36 now, you were 13 23 years ago. This facility has been closed over 60 years.!
I do agree with your sentiments, though. I think we need to remember history in order not to repeat it. I think mankind has a lot of be ashamed of.
My grandfather was in a reform school a while in his youth, in Arkansas. He told us he'd rather kill us then see us go to such a place. He talked of boys disappearing, and the "wagon" picking up someone at night. I guess atrocious treatment was the norm back then...that doesn't make it good. For some reason, people seem to have the need to mistreat others.
Linda S
After 17 months in this place as a child.....because of a decision made by the State of California in 1921....I am fully aware of what went on inside Preston "High". I would never put anything on this page because of the obvious....but can and will tell anyone who might not believe that this place was Hell on Earth.....I still have Scar's to prove it. My Great Grandson is currently researching details to audit the State to prove some of things that I have mentioned to him over the last few years. NEVER EVER step foot inside this place....as you will never be the same....As I know my Roommate "Mary" is still alive in room 4 East.
Ok first of all, Sam wasn't shot to death by a guard just because. My Great-Grandfather was there when he was 17, he told the story of "fake escapes." This was when the older boys were due to be released in a few short months, they faked an escape to help the younger ones. They went on a point system, you could be released if you had I believe 6,000 points. If you helped them catch someone who escaped, you would be let go immediately. The only boys would "escape" so the younger ones could catch them and get out. Sam was shot by accident, he bent down and was shot in the back, instead of the leg. The guard did not mean to shoot him in the back. This establishment is just like an insane asylum, guards thought beating the children would teach them.
Linda, the place closed in 2001, not 60 years ago. Please look up your facts.
ummm it was already closed in 2001.. the place closed in 1960 but it fell in disrepair(the condition of needing repair; an impaired or neglected state.) if you learn to understan what you read you could figure that out
I grew up under the shadow of this castle in the sixties, and it was closed all that time. In the seventies a friend and I tried to break in, but it was in such disrepair that we knew we'd fall through the floor, and left. At the time it seemed mysterious and funny, but now that I've learned about these poor kids who lived there, it's really sad and creepy. I hope they found some happiness in their lives.
This information needs to be corrected and updated. Anna did not live in the Castle but in Ione with her husband and Children, her body is burried in Sacramento and her spirit is NOT there. You can NOT spend the night but they do have Overnight Investigations 7pm-4am. Boys and girls were dropped off as young as 5 years old during the depression and the parents never came back.
Samual was shot once in the back and the Officer that shot him said he was aiming for the knee, he was never formally charged. So much more you all do not know and you would be sick to your stomachs if you knew the whole truth
You're such a tease, Anonymous - saying that we'd be sick to know the whole truth. This, of course, implies that you know the whole truth.
And you won't share because it may make people sick? ...I'd rather know the truth than the lies, no matter the cost to my well-being. Truth hurts, deception hurts more.
So, please, I implore you. Tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

Thare are ghost I been in a presents of one when I was working looking after a rebuilt church it scared me to death
The spelling in some of these comments are truly outrageous,It does the American education system no favours at all and makes the individuals responsible sound thick as pig shit,if you wish to use my English language then please do it justice,and one other thing,fruit we in England call a tomato is just that,not a bloody tomado you bunch of demmicks,you really are Thick Tits. Steve, Harrogate West Yorkshire
Well written, Steve.
The place is definitely intriguing. I recently was on the newer portion of the grounds and the Castle, even from a distance, is eerie. The stories are interesting to read. The truth may never be uncovered. But, for those who wish to share tales, correct grammar and spelling may support your credibility. Otherwise, you appear to be an idiot.
- Dreaming Casually said...
I wrote a book about the history of the Preston School of Industry, and I can assure you that many bad things happened there from the very beginning, all the way up to when the school shut down (even after they closed the "Castle"). If you want to know about Sam Goins, Anna Corbin and many other stories of people affected there, please check out my book, "Behind The Walls" by J'aime Rubio. Its available on Amazon. ---

MCR TV Premiere This Week!
Well friends, it's here. We've been working so hard prepping this series and putting on our weekly shows we've hardly had time to stop and appreciate the reality that starting this week, Music City Roots will be on televisions across the country. The 13-episode series officially premieres on its host station, Nashville Public Television (Channel 8 here in town) on Friday night at 7 pm, and then, through the good graces of American Public Television, it will pop up on stations reaching more than half the country. Way more than half in fact. Initially, we had 77 stations sign on, and we're about to get a report with new members of the family. The first wave includes, just randomly, Spokane WA, Lafayette LA, Champaign IL, Memphis TN, Cincinnati OH and Los Angeles. For a list of stations carrying the show as we know about them, go HERE.
It is beyond exciting to think that people all over the US will get their first taste of Music City treasures like 18 South (show video above), Shawn Camp, Dugas, HoneyHoney, Jacob Jones, Elizabeth Cook, Humming House and Mike Farris. Moreover, we're featuring incredible talents who pass through town, playing our stage in between some of the finest venues in the country, like Robin & Linda Williams, Scott Miller w Rayna Gellert, St Paul and the Broken Bones, Drivin' N' Cryin, Della Mae and Lake Street Dive. See a rundown of all the artists, show by show HERE.
We're having a party on Thursday evening to say thanks to our production partners and especially our underwriters: Belmont University, Colonel Littleton, Griffin Technology, The Nature Conservancy and Star 129 Diamond. More information about all of them can be found HERE.
Thanks to everyone who's been part of our journey so far. Much more to come.

Happier timesThis season of Teen Mom 2 has been more than a little confusing with the divorce going on on-screen for Leah Messer Calvert and her pregnancy progressing off-screen. So why not add another twist to it all? Ex-husband Corey Simms is engaged! Surprise!
The news came out thanks to Simms' dad, Jeff, who took to Twitter over the weekend to announce that his son and girlfriend Miranda Patterson are planning to tie the knot. That's one way to quiet down the haters, isn't it?
So what does Leah think of all of this?
More from The Stir: 'Teen Mom' Jenelle Evans Tells the World Sexy Relationship Details -- TMI?
She sees this as a way to guarantee that her twins have four great parents instead of three (remember, the girls already have a stepfather in the form of Leah's new husband, Jeremy Calvert). Here's the fan tweet that Leah re-tweeted:
congrats to @CoreySimms2 & @mirandabridget on their engagement! now #AliAleeah have 4 wonderful parents! @TM2LeahDawn & @Calvert505T
Very adult of Leah! And a nice little reminder to the fans that no matter what they think while watching Corey and Leah's marriage implode on TV, all that matters is that Aliannah and Aleeah are happy and healthy. They need their parents to get along, and they need their parents to be happy. If that takes them being with other people, well then, so be it!
If this doesn't make the viewers look at things a little differently, I don't know what will!
What do you think of Corey's big news?
Image via MTV
Congrates to you leah on your new marriage. i'm glad you are happy and your 2 little girls are so cute. i'm happy for him the both of you are moving on. What are you having a boy or girl congrates on the new arrival.
Very classy & mature attitude to have. Hopefully, the girls' lives will be greatly enriched if evryone work to co-parent together.
I am happy for Corey! Leah is nothing but a whore! Hope he will be happier the second time around! I think he is a great father! Best Wishes!
I always felt terrible for Corey during the show. He was such a nice guy, and has great parents, too. I hated seeing his heart broken again and again by Leah, who seemed to enjoy keeping him on a string to boost her ego. I hope he is happier now, and that Miranda realizes what a sweet guy she has.

Research News Issue 46 April 30, 2008
Produced by Research Communications for the University of Saskatchewan

in this issue
U of S Research Helps China's Small Farmers Meet Global Market Demands
(above) This hog barn was able to expand because of the new co-operatives. (below) New co-op members speaking with U of S staff and students.
A team of U of S researchers is helping to alleviate poverty in rural China by providing advice and training in setting up small producer co-operatives.
Working with the Rural Development Institute, a research centre of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences in Beijing, the team has spent the past five years advising on successful co-operative development and developing training materials. Last year, the Chinese government passed legislation allowing co-ops to be established.
Recently, Edwards School of Business professor Lou Hammond Ketilson, who directs the U of S Centre for the Study of Co-operatives, and PhD student Zhao Jun visited China to learn how the newly formed co-ops are progressing.
Jun, originally from Beijing, expects to complete his doctoral thesis this year on the creation of co-operatives in rural China.
"His findings could have policy implications for the Chinese government," says Hammond Ketilson, an Edwards School of Business professor.
The multi-disciplinary team also includes Murray Fulton, Gary Storey, Dan Ish, Brett Fairbairn, and Roger Herman. More information is available at: www.usaskstudies.coop/publications/electronic_format/
U of S Digitizes Father of Modern Sociology's Personal Library
Library Dean Vicki Williamson announced April 16th that the personal library of Pitirim Alexandrovich Sorokin, forerunner of modern sociology, will be added to the library's digital collection.
Sorokin founded the sociology department at Harvard University and is considered the father of modern sociology. Included in his personal papers are manuscripts, annotated books, and personal correspondence with the likes of Albert Einstein and former United States president Herbert Hoover.
"The web collection will be a full-text online resource," says Linda Fritz, head of research services at the library. "It will allow scholars all over the world to work with the U of S to create a comprehensive picture of Sorokin's scholarship."
The collection is expected to be fully online by the end of July 2008, augmenting the library's already extensive online resources, which has over 50 web collections.
U of S professor Richard DuWors, a former Sorokin student, and former head librarian David Appelt, recognized the collection's value and spearheaded its acquisition in 1968. Although Sorokin had no direct link to the U of S, he was looking for a "neutral and safe" home for his papers, explains Fritz.
Toxicology Centre Awarded $1.59 M to Develop Innovative Test
Karsten Liber (left) poses with MP Brad Trost and John Giesy.
On April 4th, Saskatoon-Humboldt MP Brad Trost $1.59 million announced from the Government of Canada for the U of S Toxicology Centre. The funding will go toward new equipment and staff to further develop a cutting-edge research technique that assesses toxic chemicals' potential impact on human and environmental health.
Canada Research Chair in Environmental Toxicology John Giesy and research scientist Markus Hecker have developed a test (bioassay) that can determine the effects of chemicals on steroid-producing enzymes and hormone production without using animals as test subjects.
"Global validation of this bioassay is already underway and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is expected to grant approval within the next 12 to 24 months," said Karsten Liber, the Toxicology Centre's director and project's co-principal investigator.
OECD approval would make the bioassay, known as the H295R steroidogenesis assay, the primary test sanctioned for use by member countries to screen chemicals for their endocrine (hormone) disrupting activity.
On April 8th, the Saskatchewan Health Research Foundation (SHRF) announced $2.6 million for U of S projects exploring vaccinations, obesity, nerve re-growth, mental health and addiction in the Aboriginal population, and stem cell cancer research.
Andrew Potter leads the Research Alliance for the Prevention of Infectious Disease (RAPID), which was awarded $2.4 million through SHRF's Health Research Team fund. Located at the Vaccine and Infectious Disease Organization (VIDO), the Saskatoon Health Region, and the University of Calgary, the multi-disciplinary team develops technologies and infrastructure to immunize people against diseases such as West Nile virus, tuberculosis, and hepatitis C.
Four research teams received $50,000 each from SHRF's Research Group Development Program, an amount matched by the U of S. Recipients are: Karen Chad's obesity research group (kinesiology), Daniel Chen's tissue engineering group (mechanical engineering), John DeCoteau and Ron Geyer's cancer stem cell initiative (medicine), and Raymond Tempier and Colleen Dell (medicine), who lead the Saskatchewan Team for Research and Evaluation of Addictions Treatment and Mental Health Services (STREAM).
Scientific leaders from three of Canada's foremost public health vaccine research agencies will gather on campus May 2nd to celebrate the launch of the $25.5-million Pan-Provincial Vaccine Enterprise (PREVENT), a new national vaccine commercialization consortium based at U of S.
PREVENT was formed to accelerate early-stage vaccines through the development pipeline. The new company involves three partners -- VIDO, the BC Centre for Disease Control in Vancouver and the Canadian Center for Vaccinology in Halifax.
The company has its own board and will be housed within existing space at VIDO and its partners in Vancouver and Halifax. VIDO Director Andrew Potter is the company's chief executive officer. Ten to 15 staff will be hired, including three director-level positions.
PREVENT's approach is expected to reduce the risk that currently limits the commercial uptake of vaccine candidates, and strengthen the competitiveness of the Canadian vaccine industry.
PREVENT will play a key role in co-ordinating Canadian graduate student training in vaccinology. At the U of S, the recently established School of Public Health and the graduate program in vaccinology and immunotherapeutics will help train highly qualified individuals.
U of S Science Ambassadors Reach Out to Aboriginal Communities
Physics graduate student Danielle Anderson will spend April and May as a "Science Ambassador" in The Pas, Manitoba, as part of a program designed to support science education in Aboriginal communities.
"The most rewarding part is when I overhear 'science is fun!' or 'I'm going to try this at home,' as well as when kids refer to me as 'the science lady' when they pass me in the halls," shares Anderson.
Anderson is the second student to participate in the Science Ambassadors program, which was launched last year with funding support from the College of Engineering, Cameco, and Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC).
The program places graduate students with degrees in science or engineering in Aboriginal communities to assist teachers in the classroom and with extracurricular activities. Their work is aimed at children in grades five to twelve, critical years that determine whether students develop an interest in science and pursue science education in later years.
"What makes this program unique is the duration of the support our students provide," says professor Julita Vassileva, NSERC-Cameco Prairie Chair for Women in Science and Engineering. "Unlike most other programs, our science ambassadors spend extended periods of time in the community, either for one or two days every week, or for two entire months."
The Canada Research Chairs (CRC) Advisory Committee invites colleges and schools to recommend theme areas for new CRCs at the U of S.
The committee favours collaborations among colleges and departments which fit with the CRC Strategic Research Plan, as well as institutional and college integrated plans.
Submissions should include the theme areas proposed for search and justification for a U of S investment in that theme area. This rationale should include the potential impact a CRC will have on research capacity, collaboration, and training, as well as how the suggested position will help achieve goals identified in the strategic plans.
Deadline for submission is May 25th. Please forward documentation to email@example.com.
Procedural questions can be directed to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Innovative Research-Based Teaching Relief at the Edwards School of Business
The Edwards School of Business is implementing the second year of its Research-Based Teaching Relief (RBTR) policy, which has significant implications for ensuring workload equity and increasing research activity.
Through the policy, faculty can qualify for a reduced teaching assignment for a three-year period if they are publishing in peer-reviewed journals or engaged in other scholarly work. The policy plans on faculty becoming more research active by providing a reduced teaching assignment for one year based on planned research. Faculty applying for teaching relief under the planned research category must show significant progress to obtain the remaining two years of the relief term.
The ESB Executive adjudicates to ensure the RBTR policy is applied consistently across departments.
"This policy has been embraced by the faculty and has proven to be a great success," says Associate Dean Nola Buhr.
The policy can be seen at: http://www.edwards.usask.ca/research/. Please contact Nola Buhr at email@example.com for further information.

This month's online exclusive features John Giesy, a toxin sleuth who has developed an animal-free test to find harmful chemicals in everyday consumer products like plastic water bottles.
The online magazine developed by U of S Research Communications, in collaboration with EMAP (Educational Media Access and Production), is available at: http://www.usask.ca/research/communications/explore/index.php
Research News is seeking feedback to ensure that the newsletter is meeting the needs of its readers. Please take a few minutes to fill out our survey by May 16th. For those who wish to participate, there will be a draw for a free lunch for two at the U of S Faculty Club.

Stunning This dress is absolutely stunning. As soon as I put it on, it took my breath away. December 17, 2012
Love Love this dress! Very flattering and beautiful I can't wait to wear it on April 19, 2013. December 12, 2012
Beautiful I went and tried on this dress today for my wedding in may, along with about 30 other dresses! fell in love with this one and could not image buying any other dress but this one! Im getting married in Vegas so this is perfect! leightweight and beautiful!! November 29, 2012
Yes to this dress! I went into David's Bridal with a beaded tea length dress in my mind. I knew just the one, tried it on and was disappointed. It just wasn't right. It looked so beautiful and perfect in photos, why not on me? My wonderful consultant D, went back and pulled a few more from my favorites list. Came back with this one that I had forgot all about. I was shocked and awed by how much I loved it. But I couldn't commit to the dress yet. I couldn't be sure without checking with my fiance first. I made a second appointment with D and came back a few days later. D had staged a few dresses for him to see, with my favorite mixed in. He liked some, but none as much as this dress. Though I'm sure he knows which one I picked, I shooed him away so he wouldn't hear or see that I picked this dress now that I knew he'll love it as much as I do. November 28, 2012

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I really liked Hyjal. I liked the druids, I liked the squirrel quests, I liked Tortuga (or whatever his name is). I liked the bear quests. I sorta liked the joust, even. The whimsical references in this game keep it fresh and ENTERTAINING. Not just go here slaughter that. Its a huge factor in WoW's success, for me. Games like Rift completely do not have this element and they feel very dry to me. What I did not like is the inexplicable phasing and linearity; there were so many times you felt like 'what now?' and if you ever had the misfortune/idioticy of abandoning quests in a zone only to try and find them again, you can get really stuck really easily.
I think on the whole the new zones *are* very cool but its really very much the same old thing as far as the quests themselves. Slaughter 10 of these. Gather 5 of these. Talk to this person. The unique quests really help it shine.

All About Asthma Medications
On September 23, 2009 @ 2:32 pm In
Asthma begins with inflammation: The lining of the airways – the breathing tubes leading into your child's lungs – becomes swollen, inflamed and clogged with mucus and fluid.
The muscles surrounding the airways tighten and contract as they try to keep the passageways open. Inhaled allergens or irritants like secondhand smoke and air pollution act like sandpaper on the raw surfaces. Your child begins to cough and wheeze as he or she struggles to breathe. This is called bronchospasm.
You can prevent asthma symptoms by avoiding the allergens, irritants and infections that inflame and irritate the airways.
There is also a wide range of medications that prevent and treat inflammation and bronchospasm.
Inhaled medications go straight to the airways. There are three types of delivery devices:
There are three basic types of asthma medications: bronchodilators [4], anti-inflammatories [5] and leukotriene modifiers [6]. Each asthma medication your child's physician prescribes treats a different stage in the asthma process.
Bronchodilators – relax and open the airways to relieve the noisy symptoms of asthma such as wheezing, coughing, choking and shortness of breath.
Short-acting bronchodilators
Long-acting (12-hour) bronchodilators
Anti-inflammatories treat inflammation — the quiet part of asthma that you cannot see or hear happening in your child's airway. Just as daily brushing with a fluoride toothpaste protects against dental cavities, anti-inflammatory medications protect against the damaging effects of asthma symptoms caused by airway inflammation.
After using an anti-inflammatory medication, your child won't feel different and you won't see any immediate changes. That's because it takes time for airway swelling to subside and the mucus and excess fluid to clear out of the airways. These medications usually need to be taken every day – to prevent symptoms and attacks from occurring.
Anti-inflammatories are sometimes called "controllers," but like "rescue" this is a misleading and incorrect term. Your asthma action plan will tell you exactly when and why to take your different medications. Learn the correct names and skip the slang shortcuts.
Inhaled corticosteroids
Oral corticosteroids
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications
Combination medications
Leukotriene modifiers are oral medications (pills or liquid) that help stop allergens and irritants from increasing inflammation or irritating airways by interrupting one of the many complex immune processes that precede airway inflammation.

With Society Café as Encore's in-spot for elegant comfort food, here's an opportunity to sample one of Kim Canteenwalla's delectable recipes: his famed Fish & Chips. Canteenwalla's secret? "To get the best fish in season, in the winter months we use black cod, but in the spring and summer we use halibut," he explains. "We also don't use a traditional beer batter, but rather a light spice dusting on the fish, which makes for a healthier dish and a cleaner taste." Here, Canteenwalla has broken down the dish into an easy-to-try recipe
Combine all ingredients, mix thoroughly
Preheat vegetable oil to 350 degrees, portion Halibut into 1 1/2 oz fingers yield 24 pieces, season fish, dip fish fingers into buttermilk for 5 minutes, coat each fish finger thoroughly with fish flour, submerge fish fingers into frying oil no more than 6 to 8 pieces at a time, cook fingers for 3 to 5 minutes until golden, pat dry on absorbent paper.
Peel and cut potatoes into 1/4 thick strips, hold in water. Blanch ahead of time in 300 degree vegetable oil for 2-3 minutes (partially cooked) can be done one day prior. Submerge fries in 350 degree vegetable oil until crispy and golden. Season to taste
Combine all ingredients add crispy capers to each portion as garnish on top of Tartar Sauce

If you're looking for the ultimate in all-American comfort food, has Kim Canteenwalla got a menu for you.
As the Executive Chef and partner at Society Café, Canteenwalla has painstakingly crafted a breakfast, lunch and dinner selection that reads like the culinary version of wrapping yourself in a ultra-luxe cashmere blanket, from Gooey Sticky Buns, Mini Quiche Trio (classic Lorraine, smoked salmon & chive, and asparagus & goat cheese), and "Oscar" Benedict (poached eggs with crab cakes, asparagus and hollandaise) for breakfast to Sloppy Joe Sliders, Market Chop and, yes, Pigs in a Blanket. "We wanted our menu to be approachable and familiar, so we put a twist on some old favorites," Canteenwalla explains. "It's throwback stuff, but we're doing it with a bit of flair, and outstanding ingredients."
A Sticky Bun from Society Café Encore
The Montreal-native Canteenwalla knows a thing or two about putting modern, elegant spins on classic dishes: With both his parents working, and with Kim as one of four kids in the family, dining out was a frequent ritual. But on the weekends, it was time for dad to cook, he says. "He was always trying new things," Canteenwalla recalls. "He didn't use cookbooks; he'd just sort of go at it. My mom had to cook, but it was clear my dad had fun doing it." Kim inherited his father's passion, and some of his fondest memories are of watching fellow Canadian Graham Kerr, aka The Galloping Gourmet, on those rare days when he stayed home from school. "Except for a short time when I thought I wanted to be a baseball player—until I realized I just didn't have the talent—being a cook was the only thing I ever wanted to do," Canteenwalla says. (In a fitting bit of symmetry, the chef says one of his favorite activities now is to cook for his four-year-old son, Cole, who once was devoted to grilled-cheese sandwiches, "but now he's into lamb and lobster.")
Canteenwalla's career has taken him all over the world, from Cambodia to Dubai to Palm Beach; Canteenwalla eventually met Steve Wynn when he was asked to run the culinary operations at Beau Rivage, the resort Wynn once owned in Biloxi, Mississippi. Today, Canteenwalla is back in the trenches as executive chef and partner of Society Café, a casual restaurant serving breakfast lunch and dinner every day of the week, and he is quite simply loving it. "I really missed having my own restaurant," he says. "I missed the camaraderie of working with the guys, the peak times when things are really flowing. And even when things aren't flowing, and I have to jump in and take control." Taking control is something the chef finds himself doing less of these days. "Society Café was really a collaborative effort," he says. "I worked with my wife [Elizabeth Blau, who owns a restaurant consulting firm] and my partners, which include Steve Wynn, Oliver Wharton and Sean Christie, to come up with the concept and the menu. I used to think that writing a menu was only about the chef's vision. Now I see that it's collaborative. Everybody has different input, and the end result is better for it."
Tuna Tartar from Society Café Encore
Such brainstorming resulted in a range of tantalizing dishes, from Braised Pork Short Ribs and Roasted Halibut to Rack & Spice, Lamb Chop "Curry Hot Pocket". Canteenwalla also holds a special affection for the menu items he calls "sticks, picks, and finger foods," their inspiration being the Pu-Pu platters he remembers from eating in Chinese restaurants growing up. Offerings include Grandma Rose's Meatballs, chili meatballs inspired by those made by his wife's grandmother; chicken wings shaped like lollipops; mac 'n' cheese portioned into bite-size pieces; spicy shrimp served in lettuce cups; and barbecue ribs—the overarching idea being that a party orders a varied selection for sharing. Such a philosophy suits Canteenwalla's taste perfectly. "That's how I like to eat now, a lot of small plates that we all share from; and I think that's how other people like to eat, too," he says.
It's this accent on food, friends and familiarity that drives Canteenwalla to create such elegant-meets-casual fare. No matter whether you choose the Steak House Salad (blue cheese, beefsteak tomatoes, truffled deviled eggs and Worcestershire dressing), the Lobster Roll 'Club' or Society's famed Fish & Chips, this is one Encore chef who's doing more than his share to create the ultimate Society.

Who Can Follow These Rules?
This week's Talmud reading prompts strikingly contemporary questions about observance and belief
And the other residents of the courtyard? "They," Abaye says, "do not care if there is a shituf in the mavoi." Now, this answer could be taken in one of two ways. Perhaps the neighbors don't care if there is a shituf because they have no intention of carrying into the alleyway on Shabbat. But I wonder if there isn't also the suggestion that they don't care because they're not too particular about observing Shabbat laws. This raises an interesting question about the relation of Rabbah and Abaye to the average Jew of their time. Could it be that all the details of shituf and eruv mattered only to a self-selected Jewish elite?
That suspicion deepens in Eruvin 69a, when the rabbis discuss whether it is permitted to make an eruv with Jews who do not accept rabbinic authority. This could mean a Sadducee—that is, a member of a sect that rejects the Oral Law on principle. But it could also be, in the words of a baraita, "a brashly irreligious person." Rav Huna defined such a person: "Who is considered an irreligious Jew? This is anyone who publicly desecrates Shabbat." A Shabbat violator, the Gemara goes on to explain, is equivalent to an idolator, since it can be assumed that a Jew who violates one category of laws will violate them all.
The key word here is "publicly." Thus we learn about "a person who went out publicly on Shabbat wearing a bag of spices. As soon as he saw Rabbi Yehudah Nesiah approaching, he covered it." Yehudah's response was that "A person like this may relinquish rights." In other words, the man was aware that he was violating Shabbat by wearing a bag of spices (because a bag is not a normal adornment, this would be considered a kind of carrying). But since he was sufficiently ashamed to want to hide his infraction from Rabbi Yehudah, he could still be considered Jewish for the purpose of making an eruv. If, on the other hand, the man had been a Sadducee or a "brash" freethinker, who had worn his bag of spices openly and unapologetically, he would not be eligible for participating in an eruv.
What is at stake here is the difference between a sinner and a heretic. A sinner accepts the system of law under which he is condemned. Even if he is a hypocrite, like the man who hid his bag of spices, his very hypocrisy is, as the saying goes, a tribute that vice pays to virtue. But a heretic flatly denies that virtue is virtue; he undermines the entire legal system by rejecting its authority. Thus we learn in Eruvin 69b that "we accept sacrifices from Jewish sinners" but not "from an irreligious Jew, or someone who makes libations of wine to an idol or someone who desecrates the Sabbath publicly."
At the time the Talmud was written, of course, there was no such word or concept as secularism. But the case of the modern secular Jew seems highly relevant here. Such a Jew rejects the divine authority of the Torah and Talmud and replaces it with the authority of human reason and custom. Like me, the secular Jew might read the Talmud out of respect and intellectual curiosity, even claim it as a part of his Jewish heritage. (For another secular take on Daf Yomi, check out the charming website inhaiku.wordpress.com, which renders each daf as a haiku.) But he does not live by it, and that makes all the difference. He is, in the Talmud's eyes, an idolator—an idolator of reason. Reading passages like this in the Talmud helps me to understand why there is such distrust between ultra-Orthodox and secular Jews and why calls for Jewish unity so often fall on deaf ears.

Sometimes it's really hard to know and believe what I believe, and believe that what I know is true, at least an approximation of true, for myself and for most people, in terms of food, nutrition, and health. (I'm not talking specifics like omega-3 vs. omega-6 ratios, or whether fructose should be consumed, but large, general principles here – i.e. White sugar doesn't belong in the human diet. Cornflakes are less healthy to eat than cardboard. {ctrl-F "cardboard" to find the blurb in the link} Grass-fed fat is good for you in conventionally excessive quantities. Etc.) And by extension, what's likely true, based on my observations of my own body, for those who share my genetics and probably a lot of the same gut flora (and derivative nutritional deficiencies), since the human equivalent of a tree's root system — gut flora — gets passed down, and around, through basic biological processes, contact, sharing, living together.
I struggle a lot to come to terms with the idea that the consequences I have learned about through my health journey probably apply, at least to some extent, to those I love. And that they don't want, or aren't ready, to go on that journey with me. In fact, most of whom don't entirely, if at all, believe what I have to say, or have time to consider everything I say, about healthy fats, or toxic soy, sugar, etc. Or even if they do, implementing all that in their own diets and those of their children is not yet within a realm of possibility.
But they respect me and my ability to think and make decisions about my life for myself. And I am grateful for that.
And they don't seem to judge me for it. As far as I can tell, and that's really what matters — not whether they actually judge, but that I don't know if they do. (Because I judge myself harshly enough all on my own, thank you.) I think a lot of them are holding out to see if I really will be able to do what I say this whole process can do, if I really can use foods to heal my body. And I am grateful that they withhold judgment. Because I'm one of them, I learned how to judge based on example, and I'm not always very good at the whole withholding thing myself.
And they listen to me, and they read this blog, and they ask me questions. And I am grateful for that.
And they're ok when I answer their questions with, "I don't know." Or, "I've read it, but science is not my strongest subject, and I don't think I can explain it correctly, but here's more information." And, "As a humanist, this is how and why it makes sense to me." And I am grateful for that.
And one of my cousins is on board with the whole paleo thing, and one of my brothers has experimented with it, and my aunt has been eating sugar and grain-free/low-carb for decades to treat fibromyalgia, and they all give me implicit (and sometimes explicit) family support and approval that I crave, and that makes me think maybe I don't appear quite so crazy in the eyes of other family members. And I am grateful for that.
And my mom decided to give up sugar this summer after her sister suggested it might help, after losing several pants sizes giving it up herself. And I am grateful for both of them choosing to do that. I am excited to see what further consequences and changes this decision will make upon their lives.
And some of my other cousins have such tender affection for their newly adopted newborn, and hold her close all the time, and reassure her when she cries, and give her lots of skin-on-skin time to share pheromones and bacteria and who knows what else that is wonderful and good for babies, and have secured a good source of donated breast milk to supplement her diet. And I am grateful for all that.
And there are lots of changes and strategies and supplements and eliminations that I believe could be SO useful and helpful for improving current health problems and future issues that the ones I love so dearly will likely face, from degenerative issues to autoimmune allergies and learning disabilities. Issues that I will face with them, hand in hand. Issues that we will cry and rage at the world about.
But I have more than enough on my hands right now just addressing the nutrition and health of myself and my husband.
I am grateful that I am not responsible for my loved ones' health, but only that I am responsible for loving them. And for respecting their ability to think and make decisions about their own lives. And for withholding judgment about their decisions — and apologizing, as I am attempting to do here, for any transgressions iterated above, for those other times when I haven't held my tongue. And for listening to them, and asking them questions, and accepting the answers they give me as adequate and useful. And for providing cheerleader-quality support for their decisions and opinions especially when I wholeheartedly agree with them. And for letting the world work in its own mysterious and wonderful ways in their lives, and for trying not to get too much in the way.
And I am grateful that sometimes I remember all this long enough to step aside from judging. Because loving, rather than judging, makes me a much happier person. Which I imagine probably makes my loved ones happier as well. It has the potential to be a vicious circle.

Swathi says:
Yes what you wrote is absolutely true. Difficult to live upon the different rules, if it is sugar free then taste is less with sugar means you are ingesting a lot of sugar( which is killer by itself). Thanks for sharing with Hearth and soul hop.
Megh says:
Indeed. Of course, I haven't actually been ingesting any sugar per se, just things that contain glucose and fructose, b/c of GAPS, but it is a very slippery slope–once you get used to sweeter things, it's harder to enjoy things that aren't as sweet! The reverse can be true as well tho, when you cut sweet things out completely, your taste for them diminishes — as long as you don't ramp it up again!
Jeanie says:
I am deeply touched by this (and other) posts. The "problem", the challenge, is that we are hard-wired to make judgements–whether it is something as insignificant as "is this the best melon in the pile?" or something as life significant as "do I trust this surgeon with my life?" and everything in between we must "judge" to make decisions. I think it is infinitely harder not to "judge" when we care about someone and think they are making decisions that will hurt them. I have been so impressed with your grace in talking about what you passionately believe in–about the life-changing learning you are doing–and yet do not judge. You offer your knowledge and experience, like offering a plate of fresh fruit. We can choose to taste some, all, none and still you smile and offer it. Thanks for these gifts.
Megh says:
Thank you for your comments, Jeanie — I really appreciate them, it means a lot that you have this perspective. I try and do my best but I'm so locked up in my own head so much of the time that I'm never sure if I'm perceiving myself and my actions and words accurately enough — that they're not causing harm or hurt. Because it all makes perfect sense to me! (Well, not all the time!)
Thank you so much — oh, and thank you for the pictures too! We put one up on the fridge — can you guess which one?

Why is it so hard to find a freaking tattoo?!
I want a cherry blossom tattoo so bad. It will be my forth and final one. But I can seem to find one that I like. They're all too big or too rough looking (I want one that looks soft and fluid; a feminine one) if that makes sense. No sharp, rough edges; just curvy and fluid, but still strong in appearance. Ugh, idk how to explain it.

Jean Alexandre Re-Joins Orlando
Striker joins Orlando City for short-term loan from San Jose EarthquakesORLANDO, Fla. Orlando City Soccer Club announced today the signing of Jean Alexandre to a two-game loan from San Jose Earthquakes of Major League Soccer. Alexandre, who previously spent time on loan with Orlando in June, will join the team before their two matches against the LA Blues this weekend.
Alexandre was drafted by Real Salt Lake as the 12th pick (first round) of the 2009 MLS SuperDraft. He made 38 appearances over three seasons with RSL, scoring for the first time last season against the Vancouver Whitecaps. He was then traded to San Jose Earthquakes after the 2011 season.
The midfielder, who was on loan with Orlando from June 6 to June 18, provided an immediate spark for the Lions. The Delray Beach, Fla., native scored off a header in Citys 2-1 win over the Charleston Battery while applying constant pressure in the final third in Orlandos 2-0 shutout against Antigua Barracuda FC.
Every time I play here I love it, Alexandre said after the teams 2-1 victory over Charleston. This is a really good team.
Including the two matches this weekend, Alexandre will have played a total of four with Orlando. Five is the minimum requirement in the USL PRO for a loan to be eligible for playoffs.
With the addition of Alexandre today, Orlando will have two new faces for the matches against the LA Blues this weekend. Rodrigo Lopez, a midfielder who spent time with Chivas USA and the Portland Timbers, was added yesterday and hopes to provide an immediate impact for the Lions in an important two-game series against the Blues.
The Lions square off against LA on Friday, July 6, and Sunday, July 8. Both matches will be broadcast on USLNation.com, with kickoff set for 10:30 p.m. EST and 8:00 p.m. EST respectively.

Smirnoff Teamed up with Amber Rose to Launch Two New Flavours
This fall, Smirnoff is treating its fans with a bunch of treats, both entertainment and drinkable. The iconic vodka brand, which has launched spinoffs of its two successful projects, The Smirnoff Nightlife Exchange and Master of the Mix, is now introducing two new flavored vodkas, Whipped Cream and Fluffed Marshmallow—to toast the highly anticipated second installments of the initiatives. According to the brand, the new additions to its portfolio are "to offer adult consumers a line of premium spirits that, similar to that memorable bachelorette party or a classic guys' night out, are fun, sophisticated, and cleverly wicked." These new products are all about sweetness and female nature, which can be both sassy and gentle.

The brand notes that the new vodkas represent different 'sweet tones'—Smirnoff Whipped Cream Flavored Vodka has a "seductive aroma that compliments its smooth whipped cream taste," and Smirnoff Fluffed Marshmallow Flavored Vodka got "a refreshing and airy scent that is met with the subtle sweetness of confection." Each of the flavours will be sold at the price of $12.99 per 750mL bottle (this price is suggested and can be different depending on the market).
To launch the new product based on Smirnoff No. 21, the company teamed up with American model, socialite and DJ Amber Rose, who is fronting the new 'bold and audacious' campaign, which includes television, radio, print and online advertising as well as PR, to support the release. The celebrity is also engaged in one of the two spin-off projects by the brand—the nightlife diva is one of the judges on Season 2 of Master of the Mix.
"Flavored vodkas continue to be widely enjoyed by our consumers, which is why we're consistently adding innovative, high quality flavors to the Smirnoff portfolio. We're confident that the new Smirnoff Whipped Cream and Smirnoff Fluffed Marshmallow Flavored Vodkas will be broadly embraced, much like their namesake dessert counterparts," noted David Tapscott, Brand Director, Smirnoff.
