9 Best Hair Dryers for 2014
Should you spend $200 on a blow dryer? Or will a $20 model do the trick? Keep clicking to find out
Why it's great: Dozens of readers shell out $200-plus for this Chi hair dryer, and according to the majority, it's nothing short of "dynamite." Readers love its lightning-fast drying time, and many readers report the hair dryer is "still going strong" after several years of use. It is also "very quiet and lightweight." The technology is amazing," says one reader. "It dries your hair from the inside out and makes it much smoother than conventional dryers."
Although there are a few complaints of mechanical issues, and one or two readers find the dryer gets uncomfortably hot, the majority say CHI Turbo Ceramic Ionic Hair Dryer "blows away the competition."

Thinking about getting the Vidal Sassoon dryer with the comb attachments. These combs really help when drying and trying to straighten curly hair.

I love conair products most of the time, they're affordable and last quite long

I see some very affordable hair dryers that have good ratings here.

I have CHI and it doesn't do the job as it is supposed to be. Waste of money.

Have to buy a new hair dryer, wondering if the Brazilian Tech keratin dryer is worth it. I have never treated with keratin; have fine long hair that is prone to be frizzy when humid. Can anyone give advice on this dryer? Sally's has it for $71 and I have coupon. I hate buying cheap stuff from wal-mart to have it break. Thank you.

I'm in the market for a new hair dryer so this "buying guide" was helpful. The Vidal Sassoon and the CHI dryers especially caught my eye. Thanks for including a variety of dryers, with varying price ranges.

The best hair dryer I've EVER used is the Karmin G3 salon pro hair dryer. It is really powerful but it has ceramic and negative ions so it dries super fast without damaging hair. More people should try it! I love it to bits!!!

The Major Farm: Aritsan Vermont Cheese at its Best
Stowe Mountain Lodge's resident fromager, Tom Damerell recently visited the farm of one of the most popular cheeses served at Solstice on our signature cheese menu. The Major farm is renowned for their Vermont artisan cheese, and Tom had the opportunity to spend the day on their farm, celebrating why Vermont cheese is so authentically special.
Barefoot Running at its Best at Stowe Mountain Lodge
Stowe Mountain Lodge's resident fitness guru, Rebecca Rahilly is all about barefoot running! And here's why:
Peak Vermont Foliage on Vermont's Highest Peak, Mt. Mansfield
With the cool nights and sunny days ahead, the stage is set for a brilliant display of fall foliage in Vermont at higher elevations, such as at the top of Mt. Mansfield.
Autumn Cooking in New England: Squash Soup Recipe
The leaves start changing just a little bit earlier in Northern Vermont, and I for one am very happy. I love the autumn season; the crisp breeze and the smell of damp leaves starts the creative juices flowing for my chefs and me.
Help us Celebrate International Housekeeping Week
Every year the associates and managers at our Stowe lodge, take a little time out of their busy schedules to celebrate International Housekeeping Week.
Celebrate National Yoga Month with Yoga Outdoors at Stowe Mountain Lodge
If you love the outdoors as much as I do and you don't want to abandon your workout, join me for Yogalates in the Enchanted Forest Saturdays at 11:00am. If you are looking for more of a calorie burning class, guests of Stowe Mountain Lodge can continue their cardio workout with Cardio Stowe-Ga.
Gliding over the Green Mountains of Vermont with Stowe Soaring
Experiencing a glider ride over the Green Mountains with Stowe Soaring is an adventure that shouldn't be missed when visiting Stowe, Vermont.
My first trip started out with Don, master glider pilot, explaining to me how he feels as though he should have been born a bird. That makes sense, I thought, for someone who spends their days flying a non-motorized air craft.
New England Blueberries Make for Delicious Desserts
Baking is a compilation of some of my favorite things in life: science, art, creativity and dessert. In New England, seasonal baking is at its best, with a variety of ingredients at different times of year.
The end of summer and early fall is the time for the last barbecues, bonfires, spending time with friends and family outdoors, soaking up the afternoon sun and loving food.
For me, after going on a nice long run in the sun, all I want is some fresh fruit or nice berries. I'm lucky enough to live in an area that has so many great foods that are grown close by, including blueberries and apples.
Living in New England is a treasure of sorts for local ingredients. Besides being able to enjoy those delicious treats on my own time, I have the great opportunity to work with local ingredients baking for Stowe Mountain Lodge's fantastic restaurants.

By Eileen Goltz, CuisinebyEileen.com, Modified from about.com
An easy way to make fresh cinnamon rolls using frozen bread dough. Just thaw the dough, sprinkle with the filling mix, roll, cut and bake. Then...enjoy!
1 loaf frozen bread dough, thawed
Grease 2 9?inch round cake pans. In a bowl combine the brown sugar, cinnamon and chopped nuts. Roll dough to a rectangle (working with kids this can be any shape as long as they can roll it).
Brush the top with the melted butter and then sprinkle the cinnamon?nut mixture over the dough. Starting at the long edge, roll the dough up, jelly roll style, not too tight and then, using a little water, moisten the edges and seal.
Place the seam side down and cut the roll into 18 to 20 slices. Place the rolls, cut side down, into the two prepared cake pans. Let rise for about 1 hour at room temperature, until doubled in size.
Preheat oven to 350. Drizzle the cream over the rolls in the pan and then bake for 25 minutes. While the rolls are baking, in a bowl combine the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla (add more powdered sugar or milk if you want the frosting thicker or thinner.
Drizzle the frosting over the rolls while theyre still warm.
Yield: Makes 18 to 20 cinnamon rolls.

SAVE Top Opening Biometric Drawer Home Security Safe
No one but you has the right touch that opens this fingerprint biometric safe!
The new quick access biometric top opening drawer safe by Barska® features a new dual hydraulic pressurized hinge system. Barska biometric safes are well known for their quick access fingerprint scanning optical technology. This new dual hydraulic hinge allows for quick secure access to your valuables. The reinforced motorized dead bolt safe door can be effortlessly opened with one finger. The dual pressurized hydraulics insure that the solid safe door wont slam shut on your fingers. This standard size is a perfect fit for your dresser drawer at home and in your office desk at work. Not limited to being stored away in a drawer, the Barska top access safe can be mounted to any flat surface.
Need to give access to multiple users? The Barska quick access biometric drawer safe can store up to 30 different fingerprints. In an office environment you may need to have a few top level managers have access to important documents, petty cash and in case of emergency a handgun for protection. At home keeping your valuables in a secure space is a must, but in a home with young children keeping firearms in a safe place is the law. You can grant access to only the adults in your family to ensure your children don't access your firearms. Careless access to your firearms can have dangerous consequences, be a reasonable handgun owner with Barskas new top access safe.
When it comes to home defense, quick access to your firearms will keep you well protected but many handgun owners don't keep a gun at their side when at home and many break-ins happen at night. When awakened by an intruder in the middle of the night the last thing you want to do is look around for your safe keys in the dark or remember a complex combination. With the Barska biometric safe you can go directly to your firearms and have access to them in three seconds with the simple scan of your finger.
Programming the Barska Biometric Safe to Store a Fingerprint
All new Barska Biometric Safes will be in demo mode when you first put in the 4 AA batteries (included). This means that any action of scanning a finger will open the safe. You will need to program your fingerprint into the system to lock the safe.
Quick Start Guide:
Make sure you have installed batteries into the safe.
Push and release the programing button on the inside of the safe, you will hear one beep.
Then place and hold your finger on the optical sensor to be scanned
Hold your finger on the optical sensor until you hear two more beeps which signal that your fingerprint has been stored successfully. Fingerprint programming is now complete.
To add more fingerprints simply repeat steps 2 through 4.
Helpful Note
You may want to scan multiple fingers into the safe system incase you forget which finger you have stored. Also over time your fingerprints may get damaged due to cuts or burns. If you have had an injury to your finger you may want to rescan your fingerprint after it has fully healed.
Back-Up/Secondary Access
The Barska biometric safe comes with two back up keys . The back up keys can be used only by removing the Barska logo plate with an allen wrench.
Battery Life & Power Usage
The Barska biometric drawer safe uses very little power and can last up to two years on 4 AA batteries, which are included.
Outer Dimensions: 14.75" x 11.25" x 5"
Inner Dimensions: 14.5" x 11" x 2.5

Comments about Top Opening Biometric Drawer Home Security Safe:
My wife bought this for my birthday. I keep it in my office drawer to store confidential files that I may need to quickly access. This safe fits perfectly in my desk drawer and can store a lot of documents. I think this is supposed to be a hand gun safe, but I use it for filing paperwork that I need to keep away from others at work. The safe opens with your fingerprint only. A quick hint- be sure to use the same finger you have stored when opening or else it wont recognize it.

Summer Nail Polish Colors to Try for Your Next Pedicure
Looking for some fresh inspiration for the next time you head to the nail salon? Search no further than these red-carpet-worthy colors from celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow, Solange Knowles, and Anne Hathaway. They're the shades they choose when getting their feet camera-ready and the ones you should give a spin before you slip on another pair of open-toe shoes.SEE MORE
Summer Nail Polish Color: Cherry Red
The color is a classic for a reason: It looks great on every skin tone (love it on Naomie Harris!) and adds just enough punch to an outfit without going overboard. Try Essie Russian Red or Fifth Avenue, both of which are beauty-editor favorites.
Getty Images
Summer Nail Polish Color: Dark Plum
The vampy shade was big for fall, but that doesn't mean it won't look just as great in the summer. Give off a mysterious vibe à la Gwyneth Paltrow by using Jin Soon Risque.
Getty Images
Summer Nail Polish Color: Orange
Nothing says summer like a neon pedicure! Follow Solange Knowles' lead and choose this color once you've achieved a sufficient (faux!) tan and complement it with boldly colored shoes. Nars Pierre Hardy Nail Duo features a to-die-for orange.
Getty Images
Summer Nail Polish Color: White
The newest trend of the season, as modeled by Glee's Naya Rivera, is a stark alternative to pale pink polish. Swipe on Zoya Purity, an almost opaque hue that's bound to become a staple in your color lineup.
Getty Images
Summer Nail Polish Color: Aqua
If dark blue isn't your speed, try a less severe cousin-color as New Girl's Hannah Simone did. Dive into the trend with Essie In the Cab-ana.
Getty Images
Summer Nail Polish Color: Purple
Give your nails a regal upgrade with a rich purple shade. Dolce and Gabbana Midnight is an iridescent purple similar to Garcelle Beauvais' polish of choice.
Getty Images
Summer Nail Polish Color: Gold
Metallics like Anne Hathaway's eye-catching gold are a no-brainer when you can't bear to paint your nails beige yet again. We like Butter London polish in Marbs.
Getty Images
Summer Nail Polish Color: Black
The shade once reserved for winter months has made its way into our summer repertoire. Case in point: Shaun Robinson's sophisticated styling seen here. Deborah Lippmann Mermaid Kiss will give you just the edge you need.
Getty Images
Summer Nail Polish Color: Baby Pink
The pastel shade may be too girly for some, but it's all in how you wear it. Swap Kesha's nude wedges for strappy black sandals and the look is anything but saccharine. Try MAC Confectionary or Sally Hansen Sweet Talker.
Getty Images
Summer Nail Polish Color: Coral
Pull a Victoria Justice and cover your nails in a kicky coral hue. Want a deeper version of the shade? Go with Orly Passionfruit.

Lewis Hamilton concedes that outsiders will always feel the need to comment on his decisions, but that he is at ease with where he is...
Lewis Hamilton concedes that outsiders will always feel the need to comment on his decisions, but that he is at ease with where he is.
The Briton's move to Mercedes from McLaren has come under much scrutiny, with many suggesting from the outset that he had made a mistake, opinions that were entrenched when Hamilton's first day in a Mercedes ended with a crash after just 11 laps due to a rear brake issue.
However, Hamilton remains happy with his decision and doesn't pay much attention to his detractors.
"That's how people are. Whenever there is something coming up some people feel the right to make their comments. That doesn't really bother me," he told the official Formula One website.
"I don't live my life with regrets. When I make a decision that I've had time to think about, generally I never have to think about it again," he added. "When you make decisions on a whim you might regret it - but I don't do that."
While at McLaren, Hamilton reported almost exclusively to team principal Martin Whitmarsh, with Ron Dennis playing a consulting role. Now at Mercedes, team boss Ross Brawn, non-executive chairman Niki Lauda and executive director Toto Wolff are all part of the management structure - a situation that Hamilton believes is of great help.
"I report to Toto and to Ross - and also to Niki," he explained. "The good thing is that I have these guys to go to. Martin was a fantastic boss - and I wouldn't be in Formula One without Ron, so I was fortunate to have good bosses.
"When I am at the factory I speak to all three of them - or particularly to Ross and Toto because they have all the connections to all the engineers and mechanics. I mention something to Toto and I reiterate it to Ross - I push from both sides."
Of Lauda's involvement he added: "It is an upside to have somebody who knows what I feel in the car, who can understand and relate to what I said."

New Times, New Traditions
When making decisions about your wedding, it is often necessary to balance new trends and personalizations with timeless traditions. Family structures, for instance, are not uniform and thus cannot be held to traditional expectations; a growing interest in DIY brings new life to invitations and decorations; cruises and adventure hiking are now acceptable honeymoons. It can be tricky business to plan the wedding that you want while paying due respect to those traditions that may be valuable.

I'm just on Hawaiian Time
Harbor freight makes a bender that can do most of what yours does, they sell for about $ 100.00 and you may save yourself from making some dies.
The little bender that I have is a gem for the price, I use it all the time.
I looked at the HF bender, you're right it is similar... cause I stole the general design from them. But hey considering the time it took me to make this thing my equivalent rate is somewhere around 13 cents/hour. As it turned out by the time I realized this project was taking way too much time, it was too late to turn back. I guess I'm kinda bullheaded, if I can, I'd rather make a tool than buy one.
While my design copies many of the HF / Hossfeld bender designs, I think the one difference is the above the arm saddles and tooling that I've built - mostly for smaller thinner stuff. If I bend heavy material, I need to bend between the arms.MTBob

JVCC NS-2A Premium Non-Skid Tape is a premium 32 mil 60 grit silicone carbide high traction, anti-slip tape. This non-skid tape has a waterproof backing and is coated with an aggressive acrylic adhesive (more permanent than a synthetic rubber adhesive). JVCC Non-Skid Tape is used indoors or out on stairs, pool areas, ramps, work areas, skateboards and garage steps. The 60 grit silicone carbide surface is similar in feel to 60 grit sandpaper therefore it is not appropriate for bare feet. NS-2A complies with OSHA 1910.263(3). Also please note the semi-transparent/translucent color is only partially transparent while the white color is completely opaque. For bare feet please see a rubberized non-skid tape like the ISC 3500 Jessup Safety Track. JVCC NS-2A is not coated with an adhesive that can be submerged or put underwater. So if when applied there is any gaping which would allow water to seep underneath to the underside of the tape water would degrade the adhesive pretty quickly.

Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.

'Monopoly' Concerns Over Patents for J. Craig Venter Institute's Synthetic Cell Technology (update)
9:02 AM MDT | May 25, 2010 | Alex Scott
Patents pending that relate to techniques for generating synthetic cells could provide the J. Craig Venter Institute (JCVI; San Diego, CA) with a "monopoly" position on a range of genetic engineering activities, says professor John Sulston, chair of the Institute for Science, Ethics and Innovation (iSEI) at the University of Manchester (Manchester, U.K.). The comments by Sulston, a Nobel prize winner in the field of molecular biology, follow the announcement made in the past week by JCVI that it has become the first company to...

Home court kind as Bucs drop Campbell, 72-59
Requires Adobe Flash
Junior guard Adam Sollazzo scored a career high 17 points.
Friday, December 31, 2010
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Dec. 30, 2010)
Holding one of the nation's best shooting teams well under its average this season, the ETSU men's basketball team enjoyed a victorious homecoming Thursday night inside the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center, dropping Atlantic Sun Conference foe Campbell 72-59.
The Camels entered the game 12
in the nation in shooting percentage at 49 percent a game, but shot just 39 percent from the floor against the Buccaneers. Meanwhile, the Bucs placed four players in double figures and shot 46 percent from the floor.
"Our early schedule could have either broken us or gotten us ready for the league schedule," said ETSU head coach
Murry Bartow
, whose team improved to 6-7 overall, 1-1 in A-Sun play after spending the entire month of December away from the Dome. "I hope that tonight shows that it helped us get ready.
"I think you have to start with holding (Campbell) to 39 percent shooting from the floor. They have been averaging near 50 percent for the season and are one of the best shooting teams in the nation. We also got big scoring games from guys like
Adam Sollazzo
Justin Tubbs
Sollazzo, a junior guard from Tampa, had a career high 17 points on the night, while Tubbs, a senior guard from Trussville, Ala., posted a game-high 21 in the winning effort. Meanwhile, ETSU's
Isiah Brown
(Miami, Fla.) and
Mike Smith
(Vandalia, Mo.) added 13 and 10, respectively.
Campbell (7-4, 1-1) got a team-high 19 points from Eric Griffin, while Junard Hartley had 15 and Lorne Merthie netted 11.
It was a game of offensive runs in the early going, as the Camels raced out to an early 6-0 advantage only to have the Bucs respond with a 10-0 spurt of their own. Campbell then got a 5-0 run to retake the lead at 11-10, but ETSU manufactured a 9-0 run to take their largest lead of the half at 19-11 with 11:09 left before the break.
From there, Campbell methodically battled back into the game and back-to-back 3-pointers from Anthony Horton and Eric Griffin gave the Camels the advantage at 26-24 with just over three minutes left in the half. The Bucs enjoyed a strong final three minutes however, highlighted by a 10-2 run that ended with a long-range bomb by Smith at the buzzer, making it 37-30 ETSU at the break.
In the first half, both teams shot 46 percent from the floor and were even 17-17 on the boards. The ETSU edge came thanks to a 69 percent clip (9-of-13) from the free throw line, compared to 29 percent (2-of-7) for Campbell. ETSU also shot 57 percent from 3-point range (4-of-7).
After the intermission, Sollazzo took over, scoring 12 points of ETSU's 15 points at one stretch and helping the Bucs build a 58-41 lead with just over eight minutes left. Campbell would get no closer than 12 the rest of the way.
For the game, ETSU outscored Campbell 24-11 off turnovers, while the Bucs also shot a strong 43 percent from beyond the 3-point line. The Bucs also committed just 11 turnovers against a Campbell team that has thrived on forcing turnovers on steals.
The Bucs will return to action on the road Monday evening at Mercer. Game time is set for 7 p.m. For more on ETSU men's basketball, visit ETSUBucs.com.

On October 5, The New York Times published an opinion piece by Gregory Berns, a professor of neuroeconomics at Emory University, about his two-year study of brain activity in conscious pet canines. (Rest assured, no dogs were harmed: "We used only positive training methods. No sedation. No restraints. If the dogs didn't want to be in the M.R.I. scanner, they could leave.")
For Berns, who found that positive anticipation (of food or familiar people, etc.) stems from the same part of the brain in both humans and dogs, the study's takeaway is "Dogs are people, too." This leads him to question the righteousness of dogs' current legal status: "[We] can no longer hide from the evidence. Dogs, and probably many other animals (especially our closest primate relatives), seem to have emotions just like us. And this means we must reconsider their treatment as property."
This week the website huffingtonpost.com posted a great follow-up article that expands on the concept of "personhood" for animals and quotes the ASPCA's own Stacy Wolf, Senior Vice President, Anti-Cruelty Group—read it here.
What Do You Think?
We want to hear your take on this debate. Should dogs be given the same legal protections as people, or is it right to continue to categorize them as "property"? In what ways have your own dogs shown you that they have emotions? Have your say in our comments section, below.

Yeah buddy! By now you all know that our friend DJ Pauly D has a BIG soft spot for animals—especially shelter pets. In this special video message, he reminds us just how important it is to always make pet adoption your first option.
Pauly D has already done so much to help shelter pets, and now it's your turn. Please share this video on your social media channels and help us spread the word about this important cause.
And remember, October is the perfect time to give your dogs some extra love. For more information on how you can help shelter pups this month, visit our Adopt a Shelter Dog Month section!
Here's one more example of how human health and animal welfare are inseparable: On October 7, the USDA announced that 278 people across 18 states have contracted salmonella from eating chicken from a certain West Coast poultry processor. Reports indicate that about 42% of the people infected have been hospitalized—about double the normal rate of hospitalization for Salmonella infections—because this strain of salmonella is resistant to several commonly prescribed antibiotics.
In a recent U.S. News & World Report story, Dr. Marc Siegel, an associate professor of medicine at NYU Langone Medical Center, explained how this life-threatening outbreak is linked to the common industry practice of feeding chickens low doses of antibiotics to compensate for the sickening conditions on factory farms:
"It's not an accident that this particular strain is resistant," he said. "I suspect it's resistant because of the overuse of antibiotics among farm animals."
Chicken live in squalor, Siegel said: "Ninety-five percent of chickens are grown in such horrific conditions that they're standing in poop and they end up infected with salmonella. If one chicken gets it, they all get it."
On top of poor living conditions on farms, most modern chickens are bred to grow so fat, so fast, that many collapse under their own weight and spend much of their lives lying in their own waste, with open sores and wounds.
It doesn't have to be this way. Chickens deserve better, and so do we. The ASPCA is urging the chicken industry to switch to slower-growing breeds raised in better conditions. Learn more and take action at TruthAboutChicken.org.
On March 24, the ASPCA assisted the Federal Bureau of Investigation, United States Attorney's Office and local law enforcement agencies in a federal dog fighting raid that resulted in the seizure of nearly 100 dogs from multiple properties in Missouri, Kansas and Texas.
Yesterday, at a federal court in Kansas, justice was served. Two individuals connected with last March's raid learned that they would serve time in prison, pay large fines and perform community service for their roles in the illegal enterprise.
Pete Davis Jr., 38, was sentenced to 16 months in prison and Melvin Robinson, 42, was sentenced to 10 months after pleading guilty to charges related to dog fighting. Davis and Robinson were also ordered to perform 50 hours of community service and pay $430,919 to the ASPCA for the care of the dogs seized. Both Davis and Robinson are also banned from owning dogs for three years following their sentences.
"The ASPCA is proud to have helped secure justice for the dogs involved in this case," says Tim Rickey, Vice President of ASPCA Field Investigations and Response. "Thanks to the persistence of the FBI, U.S. Attorney's Office and Missouri State Highway Patrol, these individuals are finally answering for the suffering they caused these dogs. Dog fighting is a horrific crime, and we encourage the public to continue to report suspected dog fighting activities to local authorities."
The ASPCA provided daily care, medical treatment and enrichment for the animals seized in the raid before placing the majority of the dogs with rescue groups to be made available for adoption.

Guest blog by April Bowlby, actress, animal lover and runner!
I'm so excited to join Team ASPCA for the Rock 'n' Roll Brooklyn 10K this weekend! I've never really considered myself a runner, but I've been a jogger for about a decade.
I was talking to my friend and trainer Christopher Lane, and he told me about the 10K happening in Brooklyn. At first I was skeptical, but then I was told I could be a part of Team ASPCA, and that sealed the deal.
Three years ago, on June 13, to be exact, I adopted Clementine from a shelter in Atlanta. Clementine is some kind of doodle. We aren't exactly sure. My friends call her a floppity muppet. I call her the best decision I have ever made. So I'm running for the ASPCA to spread the word that adoption is an amazing option, and it's personally enriched my life beyond words.
Training for race has been slow and steady. Christopher knows that I get overwhelmed when thinking about the full six miles. He set a slow and easy training plan for me to follow. I started by just run/walking 10 minutes down the road, then turning around and running 10 minutes home. I did this for the first couple of weeks, I progressed to 15 min each way, and then 20. I eventually felt comfortable running for a full hour. I like to train outside, but if I'm forced to run on a treadmill, I like to break it up. I run 10 minute intervals, then walk some and run 10 again.
For me, it's not about competition. It's not about speed. It's about getting out there, getting my body moving, and being a part of a great cause. So, just to be clear, I won't be winning the 10K, but I will finish! If I can share with everyone what a blessing adopting my sweet Clementine has been, it will all be worth it.
Join us this Saturday in Prospect Park to cheer on April and the rest of Team ASPCA at the Rock 'N' Brooklyn 10K.

[Taken nearly verbatim from the Report of the SAGES Implementation Task Force]
Typically, each student will take the DS in the department of his or her major. Students can take a DS in another department, however, as long as they have the appropriate prerequisites for that course. The DS will be under the control of individual departments, and at the department's discretion could count as an elective in a major requirement. The DS could also have prerequisites, should the department choose to add these.
The deans of the other undergraduate colleges, or their designees, will oversee the department seminars and capstones run inside their colleges and schools and insure that they conform to the guidelines of the SAGES curriculum.
I urge departments to pay particular attention to four elements of the course justifications that must accompany each Course Action Form:
1. Clearly describe the writing requirements of the seminar.
2. Explain how the required discussion format will be implemented.
3. For departmental seminar courses that admit graduate students, insure that the enrollment of such students does not lead to a diminished experience for the undergraduates in the course. Also, note that the enrollment limit of these seminars is set at 17.
A sample syllabus is desirable.

Gallery: Herzog & de Meuron's Towering Triangular Skyscraper Receives G...
"The Triangle is conceived as a piece of the city that could be pivoted and positioned vertically. It is carved by a network of vertical and horizontal traffic flows of variable capacities and speeds. Like the boulevards, streets and more intimate passages of a city, these traffic flows carve the construction into islets of varying shapes and sizes. This evocation of the urban fabric of Paris, at once classic and coherent in its entirety and varied and intriguing in its details, is encountered in the façade of the Triangle. Like that of a classical building, this one features two levels of interpretation: an easily recognizable overall form and a fine, crystalline silhouette of its façade which allows it to be perceived variously."
We're hoping that it will compete against the Generali Tower in La Defense for the best sustainably-designed high-rise in Paris. Via Dezeen

Other than Paris, Mexico City is pretty flat. This building goes beyond what's imagined possible and yes, it never looks the way it does in drawings and concept. I don't think the skyscraper is dead, just wounded. Most buildings may never be more than ten or twenty stories; nothing wrong with that. My hometown of Baltimore has highrises, some of them very beautiful. We have a few disgraces like Legg Mason and the ones on Light Street, but we have a true beauty at just 27 stories. And theirs tons of stuff at less than 15 stories worthy of refurbishment.
Their will be future highrises in New York or Dubai or Chicago. People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw……………parties. To ensure privacy, the windows will have to be glazed or tinted which will turn the building into a less transparent mirror finish. So your stuck with a reflective pyramid……..essentially like the Luxor in Vegas.
March 13, 2009 at 10:29 am
by allowing skyscrapers to be built, land prices will rise, old low-rise buildings will be demolished to build new taller and more profitable buildings. Paris is one of the few 'flat' mega-cities that still exist on this planet, i hope it'll stay like that. like the majority of the Parisians, i support the ban.
unless this skyscraper can be rotated, can anyone explain how does it cast virtually no shadow?
i am a big fan of H&DM but i can't find any meaning in the architects' comment included in this article.
October 27, 2008 at 11:31 am
Sad x 3. First, the skyscraper is a dead model, as the permanent energy crisis arrives. Second, completed buildngs never look as \'ethereal\' as the slick renderings would suggest. Third, it\'s Paris. Why gunk-up the skyline?

wow I'd feel naked in such a transparent building. and it looks like king solomon's glass palace.

We all arrived at the same time to be greeted by Graham, who gave us all GOLD wristbands to enable us to go backstage. This was a rare privilege indeed, but as it turned out this was the first of many surprises the moog maestro had in store for us.
We were then given permission to go ONstage during the gig itself. Yes ONstage!! This was a dream come true.
As 'In Yer Face' started we reluctantly crept into full view of the crowd, and as 'Techno City' began we got more confident and started to move around the stage, messing about with Darren.
It was then that Andy gave us a fan. Well that was it then. We all took in turns doing the 'Eric' dance, taking in the screams from the crowd.
Nick then said it was his ambition to dive-bomb into the crowd off a stage, so Andy reprogrammed 'Timebomb' to say 'Divebomb'. Pete said he would test the water and go first. No sooner had we said "Pete, it's a 10foot drop", he was gone.
Darren then gave me the mic to try and 'goad' the crowd myself. Unbelievable.
Pete then reappeared, his head covered in lipstick kisses and his 808 logo on his old style t-shirt stretched so much from being pulled, it now looked like the new 808 t-shirt logo.
As 'Cubik' finished we all lined up at the front of the stage, with hands held, and bowed three times to the ecstatic cheers.
It was then that Graham invited us all back to his house for coffee and cake…................(there's no place like home...........there's no place like home.........there's no place like home).
Nick, what did you wake me up for, I was dreaming about last night.

Lightly Lined Bras
Whether you're small or curvy, some of our most comfy bras, that still shape amazingly, are lightly lined! The assortment offers different fits and styles so you can tackle any tricky outfit or just find that tried and true bra that you want to wear every single day!
One of our most popular lightly lined bras is Blakely. She's part of the go-to collection meaning she's basically a necessity! She's a demi bra, meaning she has less coverage on the top and sides and is fantastic under low cut tops and tanks with deep armholes. She also comes in tons of different seasonal fashion options that feature floral prints and lace details.
If you're looking for a more versatile lightly lined bra, try Daisy hidden underwire bandeau on for size! She, too, offers demi coverage but, unlike Blakely, she has a lot more coverage on the sides. You could compare her to a balconette bra with a little more coverage. Plus, she comes with removable straps that can be worn as crossback, regular or one shoulder. Daisy also comes in lots of different colors so you can pick the style that works perfectly under your top or dress!
One of our other super special lightly lined bras is Sunnie. She's the smoothest girl we've got as she offers an ultrasonic wing and super soft microfiber fabric. Her wing is special because it actually doesn't have any elastic bands in it that could dig in or feel uncomfortable. Instead, her wings smooth any unwanted back bulge and feel like they're not even there!


text: Charles Dicken's A Christmas Carol got the full Broadway treatment when critically acclaimed composer Alan Menken and his team adapted the tale of Ebenezer Scrooge and his band of Christmas spirits into a musical in 1994. The musical extravaganza, complete with flying ghosts and falling snow, ran at New York City's Madison Square Garden for ten years. Actors such as F. Murray Abraham , Walter Charles, Tim Curry, Tony Randall, and Roger Daltry starred as Scrooge during this period. With holiday themed musical numbers such as Jolly, Rich and Fat (A Jolly Good Time), A Place Called Home, and Christmas Together, staging this version of the famous Christmas tale remains an extremely popular choice among various theaters across the world during the holiday season. Those touched by the holiday spirit seek A Christmas Carol tickets to see Dicken's classic story live in action.

Remember those trendy robotic dog toys from a couple years back? Aibo and Poo-chi and the like? Well, sadly, after 6-year-olds tire of the novelty of electronic pets who can fetch balls, bark the national anthem and do silly little dances, there is not much left in the life of a toy robotic dog. Thats why we love Natalie Jeremijenko's awesome eco / educational / engineering / art project which teaches students how to refurbish old toy robotic dogs and give them new life – turning them into lean green pollution-sniffing machines.
For the Feral Dogs project Jeremijenko has worked with numerous student groups to create packs of roving robo-dogs, which are "released" en masse into a community space to sniff out harmful VOCs, ozone, and other environmental toxins. The 'packs' of feral robotic dogs are designed to "patrol" sites of public interest like schools, parks, and industrial sites, in order to generate community and media attention on the issue on contaminants in the environment. Clever, cute, and fun – is this the coolest project ever or what?
I first heard about this project through the Cooper-Hewitt's Design Triennial Exhibition (which is still up – go check it up before it ends in July). Imagine my surprise when reading about the Feral Dogs project I saw a giant photograph of Inhabitat's own tech-guru Jeff Warren hanging on the wall of the Cooper-Hewitt. I'm not sure why this escaped our attention for so long, but 3 of the Inhabitat's programmer possee (Vestal Design) were intimately involved in the beginning of the Feral Robotic Dog project with Natalie Jeremijenko: Jeff Warren, Diego Rotalde and Mike Lin – proving again that Vestal Design is the raddest bunch of eco-design-engineers on the planet.
In this video a student from the UCSD electronics department hacks a robot dog to sense pollution on the San Diego campus. The video is adorable – watch to see the dog bark at a dry-erase board marker!

Wow… That's pretty cool, recycling used robo pets to sniff out pollution.
As for Fear of God: As a Christian myself, I have to say that I honestly doubt your faith. First of all, tweaking toy robots to sniff out pollution isn't a sin. If someone is gonna tweak them for the purpose of shooting Christians, or just people at large, they're gonna do it without this leading up to it. Your argument holds no water. And second, laughing at other peoples' suffering is hardly something that God would condone.

Thanks for the props Jill!
Here's a link to a page that has an image of a recent dog iteration created by Vestal:

Phenominal! Discarded toys as a base for semi-autonomous scanners discovering pollutants and environmental hazards. I applaud this project, both as a public relations/awareness piece and as a method of developing better enivornmental hazard discovery tools.
FOG, I hope you were joking.

maybe you should get some help for your paranoia…

Dude, it was someones uni assignment. Get over it.

This is crazy. This is crazy. This is crazy.
They want our kids to get used to having "adorable" robots around to protect us from dangerous, but invisible, threats. Sounds like the liberals have done it again. If we let them keep doing these things, then we (and our CHILDREN) will be so used to it that, when they add guns or other weapons to these little dogs, we won't complain. Guess who they will go for first? Yes, that's right, the christians. I can hear it now: the adorable robots are here for your protection. Sorry buddy, not me. I will fight this tooth and nail. I am not angry about this, though, since it will quicken the second coming. Seriously, one of these days you pushovers will look up and see you are in hell. I and all the christians will be laughing and pointing at you with the baby Jesus as you burn forever. I'll pray for all yall, but you'll probably go to hell anyway.
Just my two cents.

It's based off the easily available 8020 extrusion, and repurposes a lot of the 8020 small parts. I've tried to make every part requires as little machining as possible. In many cases, I've designed individual parts so that they can be initially made with as little tooling as a drill press, and slowly replaced with nicer machined parts as time/money/tooling allows.
If you want to machine all the parts yourself, you will need a small lathe (a 6" mini lathe is big enough) with a four-jaw chuck and a milling machine (or a milling attachment for the lathe) to make some of the parts. All the machining is simple and would make good practice in a community college machining class, if you don't have the machinery. If you do have to take it to a machine shop, it shouldn't be too expensive.
This Instructable doesn't give exact dimensions or step-by-step instructions. I've left it slightly vague to encourage the builder to customize it. If you want to build BMX frame or XXL 29ers you might want to change the overall dimensions. I've also some included some fancier or alternate parts to consider, if you want to make a nicer jig, practice your machining, or just have an easier time spending money than I do.
In case you're wondering, I don't have plans for sale at the moment. However, if you like the design, you can show your appreciation at my Amazon Wish List. If you get stuck on a part let me know in the comments and I could post more detailed plans. I have some parts drawn in Autocad.
This design and accompanying directions are licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution/Share-alike license. That means you can do anything you want with this design, as long as you give me credit, and allow derivative works to share this license. If you want to machine parts for this design and sell them, go for it. Heck, if you want to build full jigs and sell them, that's fine with me. Just give credit, and maybe buy me a beer if we ever meet. If you do make and sell new and improved parts for this design, I'd love it if you could send me one of your parts too.
what type of aluminum that you use to build this jig , if u dont mine can u give me list of material that you use ?
For the cones a Half Conical Coupler for lighting truss should do the trick. Tey are less then 10$ per piece and come in different sizes F33 should have about 40mm max diameter and F23 about 27.
I haven't changed anything on the jig. I did add a simple seatstay holder and wondered why I didn't do it sooner. I also built a simple stand on casters - while clamping it in a Park stand is clever, it's a little bouncy.
Given the chance to build it again, I'd use the 1530L extrusion to make it lighter, and I'd make it a couple inches taller to handle long travel 29ers.
What else - seeing many other 8020 jigs pop up, I'm surprised I don't see more that use the angle bracket as an angle indicator at the top of the beam. I always thought that was super clever, but maybe it's not clear?
great design! I just wanted to ask a question. How long should the button head bolts be? Are they all the same length? Thank you for your time
So you get the seatpost in place, you get the head tube in place, leaving it a tad loose, and then you cut and grind and machine the top tube until it fits perfect. then slide the head tube over a tad to hold it via friction.
When everything is in place, I guess a few tack welds or a bit of braze would let you take the frame out of the fixture and then weld everything 360.
8020 is awesome! Tinkertoy/Lego/KNEX/Erector for grownups.
will post pictures here when i am done doing it.
once again bravo.
Also if my main jig is level, then I can measure tube angles with a digital angle finder.
on a different note, since i don't have access to a machine shop (or rather, i'm trying to keep things relatively inexpensive), I thought spheres might be just as good as fabricated cones for the seat tube, head tube, and BB brackets. To that end, i thought a few of these might get the job done: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00062YZSA/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER
only 8 bucks a pop, free shipping, no fabrication, and they already come with a tapped hole!
Thanks for putting this together, I look forward to putting one together.
On a technical level, as an extrusion the aluminum will distort in more unpredictable ways than mic 6 aluminum tooling plate when it is heated. But if you're that concerned about accuracy., you shouldn't be making this jig.

Original Price: $124.95 Shop all Computer Speakers Need help? 1.888.955.6000 Email Chat Ask an expert advisor No pressure, no commission — just lots of good advice from our highly trained staff. Overview Reviews Details Articles & Videos by Ralph Graves They're small, they're portable and they rock. The Ultralink UCube computer speakers are a simple and elegant way to make any workspace come alive with music. USB powered straight from your computer Who needs another power cable snaking down behind his or her desk? The UCubes are powered through a USB cable going into your computer. A high-quality audio cable connects the speakers. These two cables make the entire setup. Imagine opening up your laptop in a hotel room and connecting the UCubes in a matter of seconds. Instant sound system! Small speakers, big sound Each UCube speaker is a compact 3-1/4" cube. But you'd never know it from the sound. The system receives a direct digital signal from your computer that it processes with its own ultra-efficient processor. This provides more detail in your music than most PCs can deliver with their built-in speakers. The UCube speakers deliver an amazing near-field listening experience. They encompass your work area in a spacious 170° soundfield. And with 30 watts of total system power, you can be sure your music will have plenty of impact at higher volume levels. The high-quality drivers reproduce the full range of your music with clarity. Placement options Pads on the bottom of the UCubes ensure they won't slide around on your desk (or scratch it either). Attachable brushed aluminum stands hold the speakers at an optimal angle for desktop listening. These stands also have protective furniture pads. From the review The Ultralink UCube Portable Speakers: USB Stylin' "I liked the Ultralink UCube speakers very much. Their thoughtful design made them an appealing travel companion. And they also worked great in my home office. If you're used to listening to your music through your computer's built-in speakers or worse yet some cheap unpowered speakers, do yourself a favor and invest in the UCubes.

Amazing sound from such small speakers. I have them on my desk and they are so clear. No overwhelming woofer sound when listening to talk radio. Highly recommend.. Pros: Small...Clear Sound...Perfect for desk in office Cons: Wish there was a jack plug in for playing other devices through them 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Excellent Speakers Written By bullmoon, ATL on Friday, June 08, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These are not cheesy or thin sounding speakers - very smooth and balanced. No, they are not party speakers for your house, they are for near field listening at a computer, but the sound is quality. They do get loud enough for reasonable listening in a small office even away from the desk. I am very happy with them - for the size and simplicity, they are perfect and are beautifully finished. Pros: - they look great - compact - sound great - plug them in and they work - nothing to install or setup 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Really good, little speakers Written By ryanal, Southfield, MI on Thursday, January 19, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Astonishingly good sound for relatively small speakers. I listen to classical music and opera. Easy to set up. Look good. They don't travel with me, but sit pleasingly on my desk. Pros: Small. Easy to set up. Great sound. Cons: Another USB port used. 5 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Best portable laptop speakers Written By JBrad, Tampa, Florida on Tuesday, August 02, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These ultralink uCube speakers are powered by a USB which means no need for a power brick and connection when you are on the road with your laptop. They are small, lightweight and provide exceptional near-by sound when positioned at the sides of a laptop. USB is also used for the sound signal, so the signal goes direct to the speakers which have their own digital processor. This effectively bypasses the (usually inferior) laptop sound card and speakers. Setup in a couple of minutes, and better sound than a lot of brick powered portable speakers that I have tried. Best portable USB digital laptop speakers yet. 7 out of 8 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Ultralink UCube: good, but lacking power. Written By Otto C, Kenosha, Wisconsin on Wednesday, July 27, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I'm not a stereo expert so take this review for what it's worth. Normally I don't like to listen to music too loud. I purchased these speakers for a small room, about 8 X 8. To my surprise I had to turn the volume all the way up to get some decent sound for Classical and Jazz pieces when I wanted it to be a little louder . That said the separation was good and the sound was clear. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Ultralink UCube Written By BrianO, Covina, CA on Thursday, July 21, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) My wife ordered U-Cube speakers for me in silver as a surprise gift. I liked their appearance, very modern and sleek, not cheap looking at all. Installation was simple and I hardly needed the instructions, a real bonus. I was listening to the speakers literally two minutes after opening the box. And I don't have that clutter of cords I needed for my "powered" speakers. I played our new album for the guys in my band on the UCubes and we were all blown away. The volume for such a compact system was really impressive for their size... no way could we have a normal conversation without turning them down. They have a nicely balanced sound -- the highs are good, surprising really, the mids were rich and attractive, and the bass good for their size. They aren't trying to do more than they can do well. Instruments were all well articulated and the UCubes set up a really wide sound field. When I switched to one of my daughter's metal bands, Avenged Sevenfold, the speakers didn't flinch. All-in-all I think the UCubes are a bargain at the price. Fast delivery from Crutchfield too. Thank you dear! You know me so well. 12 out of 12 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Disappointed Written By Joe J, San Diego, CA on Thursday, July 14, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I was debating between the UCube and the Bose Companion 2 speakers for awhile. I had the opportunity to hear what the Bose sound like at a local store. I only read what others wrote about the UCubes being better than the Bose. They said things like the Bose are trash and to not waste your money on them. I'm more disappointed in myself in believing what other's say instead of relying on my own ability to judge the quality of something I'll be buying for myself. I will say this about the UCubes: aesthetically, they are beautiful! They just have the "Mac look" Sound wise, though, I'd go with the Bose. Also, the UCubes use only a USB connection which I appreciate about them. Bose have those big plugs that look crummy and and more cable mess. So, for that (aesthetically beautiful and USB connection only) I rated the UCubes with 2 stars. A low score because I bought the speakers for sound quality 1st and aesthetics as just an added bonus but they don't deliver in the sound department. 13 out of 25 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Fairly OddParents and New Character SyndromeSo, I've decided to start a journal series where I go further in depth with one particular topic brought up in any given review of mine. It's not so much to talk about said episode, but said topic that that review introduces. Both admirables and atrocities and even MLP reviews may have a bigger topic to talk about, but I can't say that EVERY single review will have an expanded topic. Sometimes it'll be serious topics, like One Coarse Meal's tangential topic of when jokes go too far. Sometimes it won't be as serious, like following Return of Slade's logic is how the dark age of animation began, and even back then people did those things out of necessity and not inherent laziness. Sometimes, yeah, what I talk about will be tangentially related, like Doggy Poo's when is an idea dead on arrival?Sometimes these will cover multiple topics. Today, we're talking about Fairly OddPet, Fairly Oddbaby, whatever the hell their anti-version's introduc
