Have you ever wondered what a vortex is and how natural vortices including tornadoes, whirlpools and cyclones move the way they do? Try the tornado in a bottle experiment to find out. A vortex is a whirling mass of water, air or fire that creates a visible tornado-like column or spiral. A vortex can be created with the help of angular momentum, surface tension, centripetal force and fluid displacement. This experiment requires the use of super glue and a drill, so kids – don't try this without an adult!
- Two 2 liter plastic soft drink bottles
- Water
- Food coloring (optional)
- Glitter (optional)
- Two bottle lids
- Super glue
- Electrical Tape
- Drill
- Fill one bottle ¾ full with water.
- Add some food coloring and glitter. (Optional)
- Use the super glue (with a parent's help) to glue the two bottle lids together, flat sides touching.
- Let dry.
- Drill a hole (with a parent's help) through the center of both lids with a 9 mm drill bit.
- Screw in one side of the bottle lid to the bottle filled with water. Then, screw the empty bottle onto the other side of the connecting lids.
- Add some electrical tape around the connection to reinforce.
- Turn the bottles over and observe the movement of water from one bottle to the next.
- Try again, but this time give the bottle a few spirals as you set it down. Notice what happens this time.
The first time you turn the bottles over, the surface tension of the water tries to keep the water from flowing down. The weight of the water above it, however, forces the water to bubble up and break through into the second bottle. This is what makes the BLOOP BLOOP sound you hear as it happens several times. Each time this happens, pressure builds up in the bottom of the bottle until the air is forced up into the top bottle over and over until the top bottle is empty.
The second time, the water was directed into a spiral by your swirling motion creating a vortex into the bottom bottle. Gravity works to pull the spinning water down through the hole into the bottom bottle. The angular momentum of the spinning water makes the water at the center of the vortex spin faster than the water closer to the edge of the bottle creating a whirlpool effect.
The vortex created by the swirl lets the air pass through the center of the vortex without disrupting the flow of the water. When you combine this with the forces of water pressure and the gravity force, a centripetal force, or spinning force, makes the water swirl. Notice that the water near the bottom moves faster than the water at the top. The higher the speed, the steeper the curve needed to allow the spinning motion.

The Puppini Sisters are a close harmony vocal trio composed of Italian Marcella Puppini and English Stephanie O''Brien and Kate Mullins. Although the three are not related, they chose their name in tribute to The Andrews Sisters. Puppini first studied fashion design at St. Martins School of Art, and later music at Trinity College of Music in London where she met O''Brien and Mullins. The trio is backed by a three-piece band featuring Blake Wilner on guitar and Henrik Jensen on double bass. Critic Arion Berger described them as part of "Retro''s futuristic vanguard" and characterized their sound as "swing-punk". The group has sought to be associated with a burlesque revival.

Toro Rosso failed to shine in qualifying for the Japanese GP and joined Marussia and Caterham as the slowest teams overall...
Toro Rosso:
Daniel Ricciardo: "That wasn't a good session for us, which is disappointing as yesterday was one of the best Fridays we have had in a while. The wind has played a bit of a part today, but we definitely should have been further up than that. I would have liked a better result of course, but we will have to see what we can do in the race. I just wasn't happy with the balance of the car. Jev's problem? I heard about it, but from what I've been told there's no reason for me to be concerned about it for the race, as everything was fine on my car."
Jean-Eric Vergne: "As I was going out of the pits, my engineer was on the radio to me, so I had to wait until the middle of sector 1 before I could tell him something. I thought I had an engine problem, but then I realised the rear brakes were stuck. I tried to brake and there was nothing in the pedal, then I saw the fire and had to stop the car. The team will have a lot of work to do tonight, because it took quite a while for the fire to be out. Hopefully the main components are undamaged, the engine and gearbox, but there will be many things to change. I am fine, apart from getting a bit of fire extinguisher material in my helmet. All this bad luck? I just hope that I have used up all my share of it for next year too. It won't be an easy race starting from this far back, especially as it is not so easy to overtake at Suzuka."
Max Chilton: "I'm so happy to have put us ahead of both Caterhams in qualifying for the first time since China. One would have been a result, but to beat both Pic and van der Garde is really incredible and shows just how much fight there is in all of us at this crucial stage in the season. It has not been the most straightforward weekend for us on track and leaving the garage after the red flag, with just under three minutes of the Q1 session, remaining seemed like a tough ask. The track conditions had also shifted in that time and the wind made things more difficult in sector one for sure. I gave it all I had and my lap was as good as I could have asked of myself. I'm just really looking forward to my first Japanese Grand Prix at Suzuka and I hope we can carry the momentum through into the race tomorrow. Well done to all of us in the Team."
Jules Bianchi: "It's a really good achievement for the Team to have got the car back to a stage where we are capable of outclassing the Caterhams on merit, so this is positive news for the remaining races. As for here, it has been a bit of a struggle since FP1 and with only 33 laps over the weekend so far - most of them from this morning - we haven't had the opportunity to get back to where we started out so well on Friday morning, plus we have had to focus mainly on the race. Qualifying did not work out so well for me. We had planned to do just one option run but because of the red flag my quick lap was on scrubbed rather than new options. The race will be hard as well because there is a big job to do from the back row. On a positive, the Team have done a fantastic job with building up the car and enabling me to get so close to van der Garde in such a small space of time and this is an achievement in itself. I hope to build on that tomorrow and have a better race."
Charles Pic: "FP3 started with a car that was better balanced from Friday, especially in sector one. However, the traction wasn't as good but to avoid compromising the aero balance we'd found we worked on the diff and brake balance for run two and it made a small improvement. We stuck to the normal plan and did a second run on the primes and then onto the options, with a bit more front wing for the performance run but I couldn't feel a big gain in grip on the mediums today, unlike Friday. The car was understeering more, particularly in the high speed sections so we made another couple of changes before quali to deal with that. On my first run in qualifying we went out on mediums for three timed laps and the car immediately felt better. We'd made some more changes over lunch and the balance had improved a lot. Run one was OK but with more time to come we opted for a second one lap run at the end of the session. Just as we exited the pit the red flags came out so we came straight back, but had enough time for one more lap. Unfortunately, with the time left in the session when it restarted, we didn't have enough of a gap on track so even though I was four tenths up on the last quick lap, I came up behind another car and couldn't improve my time which is obviously a shame."
Giedo van der Garde: "We started FP3 with a pretty good balance. I was struggling a bit with entry into Turns 11 and 16 and there was a bit of understeer as the tyre wear increased, but not too much to be a concern. For the performance run we made a final change to the ride height and front wing to try and improve the car's behaviour on entry and it seemed to work a bit. The car balance had improved but we still needed to improve its behaviour in entry to the corners in the low speed turns, so we did that over lunch in preparation for Q1. We started quali with a three timed lap run on the medium tyres and I couldn't really find any real pace. The track was very busy and there wasn't much clear space, but the car had been quickest on the first lap so we went for one timed lap on run two. Just when I went out the red flags came out at the same time so I had to come back in and that meant we were always going to struggle to get the best out of the tyres when the session was restarted. As soon as it began again we went straight out but the tyres had gone so I couldn't get everything out of it. Still, there's a few penalties which will mean we'll begin the race higher up and with another start tomorrow like I've had recently I'm sure we can be back where we want to be on race day."

A cooling apron for those hot days of summer cooking
So, as a project for a class, we were compelled to find an idea to solve another student's problem. The problem I chose related to keeping cool while cooking in a hot kitchen. As a personal residence, many of the options available for commercial kitchens, i.e. heavy-duty HVAC and exhaust fans, are relatively impractical. As such, I began thinking towards cooling the cook, rather than the kitchen. This led me to ponder how my brother, a solider, keeps cool in the Middle East while wearing full combat fatigues and a bullet proof vest. The answer there lies in cooling vests worn as close to the body as possible. Many of these cooling packs contain organic fluids which only cool to between 50 and 60 degrees (for comfort's sake). Additional online roaming gleaned stories relating to the detrimental effects experienced by professional male cooks due to their prolonged proximity to hot stoves at waist level. As a means of alleviating the bane of cooks everywhere, I am thinking of combining one of the oldest pieces of kitchen attire, the lowly apron, with the relatively newer technology of cooling vests. Though aprons aren't necessarily worn around the core (one of the best areas to maximize overall body cooling), they are generally worn tight and are placed perfectly to deflect the heat coming directly off the stove. Modern cooling packs are light and compact, therefore the addition of cooling packs into the apron would add undue weight and bulk. I believe this could be a practical idea to help lessen the impact of "slaving over a hot stove." Any thoughts on improving the idea? Or, on the other end of the spectrum, how effective could it actually become?
edward long
Nov 15 2012: Is the problem you are addressing dependent upon the ambient weather conditions? The wording of your headline indicates it is. Most first world occupied structures include thermostatically controlled heating and cooling systems. Who cares what the outside weather is? Slaving over a hot stove is more of a dramatic figure of speech than a real-world problem, except perhaps for restaurant workers. Is that your target consumer? If so the problem is motivating restaurant owners to invest in expensive, high-tech gear for their employees comfort. " If they can't stand the heat they can get out of the kitchen!" would be the likely response of owner/managers.Nov 19 2012: This is definitely a superb idea. I had no idea that male career chef's are potentially exposed to long term side affects. A cooling device for cooking activities would be very helpful to any of us who cook, but ultimately a safety requirement for those who cook for a daily living. Understandably, apron's are what we all know as a protection device in the kitchen, but I think that it might be wise to go even beyond the traditional apron design. Maybe the entire front of the body can be incorporated into the cooling device as to make sure that someone who is in a hot kitchen environment all day is assured complete protection. Different levels of these cooling devices can be offered. Smaller apron's for the "home cooker" would be less expensive and less cumbersome versus the larger more expensive commercial kitchen cooling garments.

Nov 20 2012: Thanks for the idea, Christopher. I hadn't really considered adopting different design strategies for residential vs. commercial cooks, but it makes a lot of sense. As you point out, the inclusion of, let's say the Mylar, may prove more valuable to a commercial cook than someone cooking at home. Diversifying the design strategy could definitely make the project more cost-effective and viable.Nov 18 2012: I truly think your idea is great for restaurants and other people cooking for a long period of time throughout the day. However it does seem the apron is not a cooking tool that the everyday person uses. I know in my personal life I do not know anyone that uses an apron anymore. I guess during Thanksgiving or other big events they do get used more, but would someone be willing to pay that much more for an apron they will only use a handful of times each year? I do not think so. I think if you focus this product to the commercial users then this product could become a major hit. Overall this is a great idea, I would love to see if you actually make it happen.Nov 16 2012: First, I would like to express that I believe your idea is genius. I have found myself over-heating while cooking and would personally invest in a product like this. I also think that for professional cooks this would be a very useful item or a "must have". I have never used a cooling vest or unit before and my first question would be how big is it and how much does it weigh? As you stated, it does not weigh much. At this point, the technology is already established so you could fit it to your product in any shape and weight. Great idea.
Gail .
Nov 15 2012: I don't know if this will work, but if you change the design of the typical apron to make it wide, and add a second made of space blanket material (worn under the cotton one) with the shiny side facing the stove, it might help. If you have spent much time in a kitchen, you know how you don't want to inhibit movement. It could be dangerous. Space blankets weigh next to nothing and they're very effective.

It's not below the waist that gets me in the kitchen. It's the part that's over the stove, so you might want to include a fan in a chef's hat (like the pith helmets or baseball caps that have solar powered fans built in)
Nov 16 2012: That could be a pretty good addition, TED Lover. As those Mylar blankets reflect something like 80 percent of incoming heat, it would prove very effective at keeping the localized heat of the stove from penetrating the apron. Combine that with the cooling layer from the packs, and maybe even Gordon Ramsey wouldn't have room to complain (though I think that may be towing the line just a bit...).
Lejan .
Nov 15 2012: As active cooling systems are pretty expensive, you may also take a look at rechargable 'Phase Change Cooling Materials', such like this:
- 0
As you apron is used for cooking, a 'food grade' classification should be considered, in case of coolant leakage.
Good luck with your interesting idea and let us know when it's available!
Nov 16 2012: Thanks for the comment, Lejan. I'm glad you brought up the technology used in the RPCM cool vests, as that was material I had considered for the aprons. Those particular vests are nice because they can be effectively cooled to their lowest levels in a bucket of ice water. Additionally, that cooling material holds at 59 degrees, meaning the packs won't be uncomfortable to sensitive areas.Nov 15 2012: Good idea.....just go onNov 15 2012: See that Ted talk about sanitary mapkins. I don't know about demand Maybe

Holy shit, 80% of this thread is a play on "holy", "ret", "bubble", "din", "paladin", etc. and 15% seems to be people stealing names from elsewhere.
5% seems to be original names they thought of themselves. Is creating a name really that hard?

Quotes and Sayings about Dogs
When someone rings the doorbell, why do dogs always assume it's for them?
Owners of dogs will have noticed that, if you provide them with food and water and shelter and affection, they will think you are god. Whereas owners of cats are compelled to realize that, if you provide them with food and water and shelter and affection, they draw the conclusion that they are gods.
– Christopher Hitchens
A man's soul can be judged by the way he treats his dog.
– Charles Doran
One reason a dog can be such a comfort when you're feeling blue is that he doesn't try to find out why.
The reason a dog has so many friends is that he wags his tail instead of his tongue.
If there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went.
– Will Rogers
Happiness is a warm puppy.
– Charles M. Schulz
Dogs have owners, cats have staff.

Recipe by wahine
"A delicious and easy spread that always gets many compliments. Serve it with somewhat bland crackers to taste the smoked salmon. You can add some chopped capers for more flavor, if needed. I usually serve this on a nice plate and put the spread in a mold before serving."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

2 (8 ounce) packages
cream cheese, softened
12 ounces
smoked salmon, chopped
3 dashes
Worcestershire sauce
3 drops
hot pepper sauce
1 teaspoon
chopped fresh dill weed
2 tablespoons
chopped green onion
I just made this for a party and several people really raved about it and wanted the recipe. Easy to make, too! I doubled the worcestershire and hot pepper sauce. Also, I didn't have fresh dill or green onion, so I used dried dill and dehydrated onion flakes. Thanks for this recipe!
Hmmm...wasn't too keen on this based on the original recipe - way too cheesy for me - I ended up using only 1 8oz package of cream cheese, but 1 pound of smoked salmon (1/2 whipped into the cream cheese to turn it pink, half chopped and folded in) and used 4 tsp worcestershire sauce and 3 tsp hot pepper sauce, and then added juice of 1/2 a lemon. Also used 5 chopped green onions. Then it was pretty good!

This is the salmon spread recipe I've been looking for! I could make a meal of it it is so yummy! I like it on Ritz crackers.
This is yummy. We had it on bagels for dinner tonight. I used a little dried dill instead of fresh and red onion. I doubled the onion. I also added a little minced caper. Dinner included a side of fresh asparagus that was blanched and chilled and sprinkled with olive oil, lemon and salt and pepper. Tasty and quick meal.
As someone who loves lox and cream cheese, I think this recipe is superb! Had all the ingredients on hand and whipped it up in no time. I'll be making this for my friends for sure.
Made this with some lemon/dill smoked salmon we brought back from Alaska. Was gobbled up at my New Year's Eve party. Great presentation, super easy and delicious. A definite keeper.
This is addictive. Watch out!!!
I liked this, but my family did'nt care for it much...they thought the salmon was a little overpowering despite the smoked flavor.

U17 Arkansas Boys Advance to Nationals
Nike 94B represented the U17 boys' age group for Arkansas at the R3 President's Cup tournament June 9-12 in Decatur, Alabama. Rush was playing against the other state champions of the region. The boys faced the President's Cup champions from Louisiana, Alabama, Florida, Tennessee and North Carolina on their way to capturing the championship. Nike 94B played CASL from North Carolina in the final and came out on top 1-0.
"The goal in the final represented everything these boys accomplished over the weekend; teamwork and work rate," said Matt Mittelstaedt, head coach for the Nike 94B. The goal came 30 seconds into injury time of the first half with the boys applying pressure in the attacking third and causing a turnover. The team then worked together stringing 5 passes together covering the width of the field. Mat Brockway finished a brilliant cross from Kyle Hendren to give the team the only goal they would need.
The Nike 94B team has reflected the Rush Way philosophy the entire year with their commitment and dedication. The U17 team is comprised of 18 players from 8 different cities across the state.
The team now trains for the National President's Cup tournament. The event is being held in Des Moines, Iowa over July 7-10. The team will face the other Regional Championships for a chance to play for the National Championship.

You need:
dogs of your choosing
fave dog slicin' knife
long drill bit, (or round skewer if you have things like that)
Carefully push drill directly down the center of the hot dog.
Keep the knife at the same angle as you slice thru to the drill bit, and roll the hot dog away from you as you continue down the length of the dog. (pics 1 & 2) May or may not take you a couple trys to get method of nice tight coil.
See that I boil the dogs! (pic 3) Microwaving does not produce satisfactory results, IMHO. Slide the dog off the bit and into the water. Kinda tricky to fish 'em out, I used a spatula. Straining would be clever, if you have a colander.
SPIRAL CUT Hot Dogs are all over the internet. The true taste test is this:
Take 2 identical hot dogs. Spiral cut ONE and leave the other "normal". Cook them the same way, the same amount of time. No condiments. The taste improvement is unquestionable. We've been using the Curl A Dog product to spiralize hot dogs in about 3 seconds, literally. Our grandkids stand in line to use it.
Anyone who pollutes burgers or hotdogs with ketchup deserves repeated pokes with a live cattle prod to straighten them out.
If I want to put ketchup on my hot dog, I'm going to put ketchup on my hot dog! No matter what anybody says! I think you pollute it with mustard and all that other "stuff".
Let me go fetch the cattle prod and check to make sure the batteries are fresh.
Mustard for hot dogs
Catsup/ketchup for hamburgers
Mayonnaise/Miracle Whip for sandwiches
The french fries are the condiment for the taco meat and cheese......
and Guacamole!
also, it sounds delicious.
space the spirals about 1/4 to 3/8 apart.
Mix warn cream cheese, crisp or real bacon bits fine grind, fine shred sharp cheddar cheese, very fine chopped and towel dried Jalapenos. needs to be very soft.
Grab your beef jerky gun with the small tube attachment, fill the spirals and wrap/roll in wax paper and chill. I squeeze the cheese mix to fill in the air pockets.
Prepare your favorite corm meal batter mix mix, for corn dog consistency
Dip your corn dogs and deep fry them!

(I apologize if I don't do this right. I didn't pay attention when Al wrote the post about diary posts, or fan shots, or rim shots or whatever the hell they're called.)
Old Style beer and the Chicago Cubs have been intertwined as long as I can remember. When I was a kid listening to Vinny and Lou call the games on WGN radio, it was fully krausened Old Style sponsoring the Cubs. When I would go to Wrigley Field it was the beer my father and uncles would share while they laughed at how bad Dave Kingman was in LF. Later on it was the beer I lined up on the backwall of the bleachers to avoid the end of beer sales for that game.
It seemed like most things Cub, the relationship between the Cubs and Old Style just felt right (maybe because both were charmingly lousy).
Well, today the news came down that Old Style will no longer be served at Wrigley Field following the season. Coors Light will replace Old Style as the alternative to the evil beer from St. Louis. It's probably time, and honestly a relationship with Chicago based MillerCoors is probably going to be much more lucrative for the Cubs than a relationship with Pabst, who owns Old Style. From that perspective this all makes very logical sense. Still if you have an ounce of nostalgia and have watched this team for any amount of time you see a sixty+ year sponsorship arrangement ending. Those things don't happen much any more, so for some reason it seems strange to imagine Cubs games, in Mesa or Chicago, withoutOld Style Beer.
An article on the new Pabst owners in the Tribune a month ago outlined the plan to leave Wrigley Field:
In an internal memo to top staff one month after purchasing the company, C. Dean Metropoulos outlined a plan to see PBR sales grow 30 percent per year, Lone Star's sales to double and for the company to create a "Four Loko"-like version of Colt 45, backed by an African-American star and jingle.
"I also want to try to exit the 'Cubs' deal and divert this money behind Old Style 'Light,'" C. Dean Metropoulos wrote. The relationship between Old Style and the Chicago Cubs baseball team has existed for 61 years.
B.R. Zoom, the ad agency, was fired per order of Metropoulos. And former Pabst employees said the Metropoulos brothers, in almost daily phone calls, demanded that a host of ideas be implemented, such as Pabst brands being sold in Madison Square Garden, comic actor Will Ferrell sponsoring Old Milwaukee, PBR gift bags being given away at the Country Music awards in Las Vegas sponsored by the Academy of Country Music.
Now Old Style goes the way of Smokie Links and 81 day games at Wrigley Field. It becomes a fond memory. It's a shame, but it is progress. Still it won't seem right ordering a Coors product at Wrigley Field.
All good things must come to an end.

News Analysis: Evaluating the Next Marriage Equality States
With the exciting victories of Nov. 6 behind them, marriage equality advocates are hardly resting on their laurels. Now that Maine, Washington State and Maryland have been added to New York, Connecticut, Vermont, New Hampshire, Iowa, Massachusetts and the District of Columbia, the battle moves on to the next most-likely states.
Although it's anyone's guess what will happen in a volatile political climate, a few states look especially good for making marriage equality legal. Here, in order, are evaluations of the political mood in Illinois, Rhode Island, Delaware and New Jersey.
In 2011, Illinois passed the Religious Freedom Protection and Civil Union Act. As the name implies, this legalized civil unions with a special shout-out to the carve-outs for religious denominations (which, in fact, are boilerplate for marriage-equality legislation in every state that has enacted such legislation).
As in other states that have enacted civil unions, they are the "separate-but-equal" equivalent to full-blown marriage. Civil unions have long been looked at as the the middle path between no recognition and marriage.
Advocates consider it to be the equivalent of those "other" separate-but-equal laws, and, like racial segregation, to produce in actuality some very real inequalities that can only be remedied by full-blown marriage.
Vermont was the first state to institute any kind of legal recognition of gay unions way back in 2000. Vermont only moved from civil unions to marriage in 2007.
Most observers don't expect it to take nearly as long in Illinois.
First, there's the political map. Despite its nickname, the Land of Lincoln has long been solidly Democrat, thanks to the outsized influence of Chicago, which dominates the state's politics (much to the annoyance of largely rural GOP Downstate).
With the State Legislature firmly in Democratic hands, and a Democratic governor who would certainly sign a marriage-equality bill into law, it looks good for the legislative process. The state's sole GOP officeholder, U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk, is squishy at best in his opposition, which only leaves the usual suspects like the National Organization for Marriage to carry on what would be a lonely fight, along with the still-powerful voice of the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Chicago.
Marriage equality now has its own powerful backer, however, in the person of Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel. Although he doesn't hold statewide office, the mayor of Chicago (like the mayor of New York City) ranks as the second most powerful politician in a state where one city nearly matches the rest of the state in population.
The former chief of staff to president Barack Obama, in a post-election letter to the Sun-Times (itself a statement, since the paper is more conservative than its rival, the Tribune), stated categorically that he believes "Illinois must lead the way" toward full marriage equality.
Emanuel has since stated that he ranks this as one of his three top legislative priorities for the state's upcoming session. Emanuel's well-known ability for political strong-arming and his ability to corral various factions could be the key in the Prairie State.
Rhode Island
The Nov. 6 victory in Maine leaves Rhode Island as the wallflower at catching the marriage bouquet: All of the other five New England states, plus the giant to the south, New York State, now have full-blown marriage equality.
The state recognizes marriages from other states. Considering how small Rhode Island is, an hour in any direction will lead couples to a same-sex marriage. So at this stage of the game, Rhode Islanders have marriage equality -- as long as they tie the knot somewhere else.
As in Illinois, civil unions became law last year, when marriage supporters in the State Legislature couldn't see the votes for full marriage equality. The head of Marriage Equality Rhode Island told EDGE that he foresaw such a bill becoming law before the end of next year.
The only thing holding Rhode Island back is its religious demographic: With two-thirds of the state's population self-identifying as Roman Catholic, the Ocean State probably has the highest percentage of Catholics of any state in the union. But the state has a long history of tolerance, dating back to its very beginnings, when Roger Williams fled the dogmatic Puritans.
In addition, like the rest of New England, it has become solid blue and trends much more liberal than in the past. When you include the encirclement of marriage equality and the de facto recognition of gay marriage anyway, the state's legislators look likely to pass a bill in the next session.
Look to more stringent religious carve outs than in other states (at least on paper) as one way to mollify Roman Catholic opposition.

The wedding cake has a long history and is still a very popular custom. Read on to learn more about wedding cake traditions. . .
- The wedding cake was originally lots of little wheat cakes that were broken over the bride's head for good luck and fertility.
- In Elizabethan times, small spiced cakes were given to wedding guests to toss over the bride's head. The remaining cakes were piled high on a table at the reception, and the couple kissed over the stack and tried not to knock it down.
- In the 1660s, the French pastry cooks for King Charles II iced the pile of cakes. The tiers on today's wedding cakes evolved from that early custom.
- It is thought that the "three-tier" wedding cake is based on the unusual shape of the spire of Saint Bride's Church in London.
- Today's most popular cakes among brides are airy, egg-white-based silver cakes or gold or yellow pound cakes.
- Grooms traditionally favored dark, rich fruitcakes. Today, grooms often request their favorite flavors (chocolate, for example) and may adorn the cake with a decoration, such as a top hat.
- The custom of saving the top layer of cake for the newlyweds to share on their first anniversary remains in vogue.
At The Old Farmer's Almanac, we have tested and eaten many wedding cakes over the years. Here's a recipe for one of our favorites: Old-Fashioned Buttermilk Wedding Cake.

Teammate's tribute to fallen UC student goes viral
CINCINNATI -- In an effort to heal the hearts of his community, a close friend of one of two students killed in a Hanover Township wreck this past Saturday wrote a song.
Jake Venable, 20, said in a YouTube video posted Tuesday that he misses his friend Ben Flick terribly and hopes his music will help his friends and family cope with the loss of "a great friend and teammate."
"I just wanted to make this quick video for my buddy Ben Flick who passed away Saturday night," Venable says in his video. "I'm just posting this video because hopefully it will help some people out who are hurting. Ben was a great friend and a great teammate -- just an awesome person."
Venable is a student and football player at Taylor University and played football with Flick at Hamilton High School.
Flick, a recent graduate of Hamilton High School and a football player at the University of Cincinnati, was one of four college freshmen involved in the crash that happened on Stahlheber Road at about 10:20 p.m. Saturday.
Sean VanDyne, Flick's childhood friend and the driver of the vehicle, died from his injuries late Monday night at University of Cincinnati Medical Center. UC football players Mark Barr and Javon Harrison were also passengers in VanDyne's 2009 Chevrolet at the time of the crash.
Barr still remains in critical condition at UCMC. Harrison was treated and released from the hospital Tuesday.
After hearing the of Flick's passing, Venable found inspiration from an unlikely source.
"I was playing guitar…and saw some tweets saying 'Where's God?' and 'How can God be real?' and right next to those, more tweets saying, 'God does have a plan.' I basically just sang the chorus, put my guitar down and wrote it," Venable said.
He said it took him between 30 and 40 minutes to write the song.
"I knew it wasn't me writing it, and I just prayed that whatever God gave me could be used for comfort and hope," Venable said.
Venable's YouTube video spread quickly Wednesday and Thursday, eclipsing 6,500 views.
It has been shared hundreds of times on Facebook and Twitter – and has elicited praise and tears from thousands.
"What a beautiful heartfelt song, you were a true friend. He heard it buddy. God bless you and all of his friends," one YouTube comment reads.
Venable said his song is a reminder that it's okay for people to be confused, but to be reminded, "it didn't end on that night."
And despite how many shares and views his video may receive, Venable wants everyone to remember: "It's all for Ben – it's not about me."

Please rate me, it just takes a click. Thanks!
Weeks later of googling, and reading forum after forum I came up with a circuit that I was happy with. Realistically this would have been easier using a micro controller but I was rich on time "or so i thought" and low on cash. Total cost of this panel including the wood frame has been around 35$ Now of course I did have to scrounge, look for freebies and of course use eBay. I live in a quite remote section of Northern British Columbia, so sadly there was no quick run to an electronics supply store. This table was to go to my best friend for a Christmas present but sadly, I ran out of time. He got an radiant ceiling mounted heater for his garage instead. So the LED pods I built, sat in bin being bounced around for a year and a half. They looked so sad and neglected, all they need was a home, some 12V juice and a little love, See what they needed for a happy home on the
next pages
- I forgot to mention, this table was built as a panel. That is why the power is on the side. The panel can easily be moved about, it can be placed on my coffee table, kitchen table or even the wall as interactive wall art. I believe this is important as my family likes to be able to mix up our furniture arrangement and may not always want such as large piece to be hard to move around . In pictures and videos the table is sitting on top of my living room coffee table. It would be simple to add permanent legs or even cheat a little and pick up a cheap used table and buck the legs to the desired height
- I have added a new circuit diagram in step 4, feel free to comment, give advice and poke holes - its how we all learn, and I have a lot of learning to do!
- Added the write-up on building the frame, guess I didn't save it properly when I wrote it the first time. Live and learn...
- See step 11 for some pictures with a paper diffuser added! This optional but it does soften the look. This is fire resistant paper, the kind used for lamp shades, I thought this prudent as the power source could potentially spark or heat up
- Wife's friend they sell similar tables to parents with children with sensory seeking Autism.
Before building this table, remember your are using dangerous power tools, exposing yourself to potentially lethal doses of electricity, cutting yourself with broken glass, burning yourself with solder, dealing with nasty paint fumes and in general annoying the crap out of those you live with, and danger unto its own! So be warned!
I made this but leds lighting in dark Is it normal?
Yes as this is a dark sensing circuit. When an object blocks off light to the sensor it turns on the LEDs, so when all the lighting is turned off the table thinks that all sensors are blocked, so they all turn on. Really this would have been better with a motion sensing circuit instead but at the time that was cost prohibitive.
Yours Christopher
so i am working on a bike project that i want to replace the 3 old head lights with 3 leds and i want them to be hooked up to 3 toggle switches
the nly problem is that i am a newB at lighting and circuits so if any one could give me any ideas i would greatly appreciate it.
I have conected everything but it dosent work jus leds lights and nothing more and i used IR photo tranzistor. Plz help me . my email email@example.com
Just a thought though, have you brought the completed powered circuit into a room of complete darkness? It might just be the sensitivity level of the photo diode/transistor you are using. when i first did the circuit, it wouldn't work. In frustration I left it where i was working during the day, in my back sun room. Later that night, i went to retrieve something from the sun room and low and behold the leds were one, as soon as I flicked on the lights it went out, flicked them off again and it began to glow. Keep in mind, the only lights that will keep the leds in the off position is sunlight, halogen or conventional. Fluorescent lights will have no effect. The photo transistor used in the instructable had a different sensitivity level and made all the difference.
diferent from schematic that I whas bulding I will try soon and I will
tell you about it.
I used http://www.evita.lt/show_doc.php?id=10920
an 3 kindes of photo tranzistors http://www.evita.lt/?pid=catalogue&action=search&keyword=fototranzistorius&submit=Ie%C5%A1koti

Just a question, how many milliampere is used?
Maybe you can read information about your power source?
Otherwise it's ok, I'll test.
Thanks for your fast answer.
thank you
As a thought, if slow turn-on was required (to make it look more analogue ;-)), a capacitor could be added across the first 2N3904's Collector and Emitter.
The 22k would charge it when the photo sensor detects darkness.
Just a thought. Haven't tried it yet, but should work okay.
Great work and great ible!
I cant hear it as well, Sound is very bad.

Verified that there was only PC2 - 5300 RAM installed, which is 667MHZ. So there was not any 800MHZ ram installed, so I can verify that 667MHZ was in fact accurate in this situation.

Day 16 of my Boycott of TSA and the Airlines
Since we are one of very few countries using this backscatter scanner we're assuming the terrorist-hijackers who are planning us harm are already in the US. The Department of Homeland Security admits they can't police every airport in the world. How oddly sane of them.
As any social scientist could have predicted, the TSA's "behavioral watch" program has become an excuse for agents to dabble in profiling. "The officers identified nearly two dozen co-workers who they said consistently focused on stopping minority members in response to pressure from managers to meet certain threshold numbers for referrals to the State Police, federal immigration officials or other agencies.
The stops were seen as a way of padding the program's numbers and demonstrating to Washington policy makers that the behavior program was producing results, several officers said."
So I nose dive into the complaint first thing on a Saturday morning.
It's not what I want to be doing. That turns my annoyance at "the system" into resentment–why do I have to waste my time and energy trying to fix things that should already work? Why is it MY job? Thanks to two years of intensive self-development work, I now finally recognize that as victimization.
So I need now a conscious change of consciousness. If I'm not part of the solution I'm part of the problem. Cynicism and denial are not strategies. I need to get myself inside the 3D hologram of Solutions. Find myself in there. But to get there I've got to get outside my normal state of non-possibility.
How do you do it? I don't mean just how do you do it on any given day. I mean how do you do it when you're trying to devise solutions for a problem like the TSA?
Within one minute I'm back at the complaint. I don't know how to solve a problem like TSA!
Even when deep inside wholesomeness and aligned with spirit I have no clue what I could do to solve that problem.
Instead, what would it look like already solved?
No scanners, no pat downs, no limits on toiletries, service you looked forward to receiving, the joy of travel not being smeared by the experience of being treated like a terrorist suspect, and squeezed together like cows boxed in a freight train.
Instead, your experience of travel is breezing from your car or subway to the shuttle, directly onto the tarmac where waits your plane, where the smiling attendants take your bags and usher you into a spacious aisle and you greet the already seated co-passengers on your flight with the excitement of the journey already making you feel giddy. You feel all the novelty of each flight as if it were your first.
You find your over-sized reclining chair and unpack a few necessary items-a book or magazine, your cell phone, maybe your laptop-and spread them neatly on the collapsible tables on each side of you. An attendant brings you your beverage of choice, pre-selected before your flight. The smell of appetizers comes wafting down the aisle and you recall with a grumble of your stomach that a delicious meal of fresh vegetables and organic free-range roasted chicken is soon coming your way. And if you change your mind, you can always head upstairs for a snack in the bar. You ponder this for a moment as a friendly business couple slide past you into their neighboring recliners and you all exchange gracious smiles.
For your evening's entertainment you can choose from any channel under the sun, or flip your screen on fireplace and enjoy a travel story or research your destination in the online library. Or you can join the revelers upstairs for some dancing and karaoke, made possible by state-of-the art sound-proofing. Tucked in one corner are several massage tables with eager attending staff. You can even smoke up there! Amazing technology filters the smoke immediately from the air, which is fragranced by special equipment that change the scent depending on the music. The flight itself becomes a special occasion and you're actually looking forward to your return trip!
Now, where is that La Veuve Clicquot I ordered?
Mm, mm, mm.
TSA and the Airlines, can you partner up and accomplish that? With a portion of that money you're spending on watching a million "terrorists" I'll bet we could overhaul the entire industry into something US citizens are actually proud of.
Follow this blog for the next 10 days and really consider if all this Terrorist Watching is making you feel any safer.

Human Perivascular Stem Cells Show Enhanced Osteogenesis and Vasculogenesis with NELL-1 Protein.
Tissue Eng Part A
Publication Year:

Funding Grants:
Public Summary:
Scientific Abstract:
An ideal mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) source for bone tissue engineering has yet to be identified. Such an MSC population would be easily harvested in abundance, with minimal morbidity and with high purity. Our laboratories have identified perivascular stem cells (PSCs) as a candidate cell source. PSCs are readily isolatable through fluorescent activated cell sorting from adipose tissue and have been previously shown to be indistinguishable from MSCs in phenotype and differentiation potential. PSCs consist of two distinct cell populations: [1] pericytes (CD146+, CD34-, CD45-), which surround capillaries and microvessels, and [2] adventitial cells (CD146-, CD34+, CD45-), found within the tunica adventitia of large arteries and veins. We previously demonstrated the osteogenic potential of pericytes by examining pericytes derived from human fetal pancreas, and illustrated their in vivo trophic and angiogenic effects. In the present study, we used an intramuscular ectopic bone model to develop the translational potential of our original findings using PSCs (as a combination of pericytes and adventitial cells) from human white adipose tissue. We evaluated human PSC (hPSC)-mediated bone formation and vascularization in vivo. We also examined the effects of hPSCs when combined with the novel craniosynostosis-associated protein, NELL-1 (Nel-like Molecule I). Implants consisting of demineralized bone matrix putty combined with either NELL-1 (3microg/microL), hPSC (2.5 x 105 cells), or hPSC+NELL-1 were inserted in the bicep femoris of SCID mice. Bone growth was evaluated using micro computed tomography, histology and immunohistochemistry over 4 weeks. Results demonstrated the osteogenic potential of hPSCs and the additive effect of hPSC+NELL-1 on bone formation and vasculogenesis. Comparable osteogenesis was observed with NELL-1 as compared to the more commonly used Bone Morphogenetic Protein (BMP)-2. Next, hPSCs induced greater implant vascularization than unsorted stromal vascular fraction (SVF) from patient-matched samples. Finally, we observed an additive effect on implant vascularization with hPSC+NELL-1 by histomorphometry and immunohistochemistry, accompanied by in vitro elaboration of vasculogenic growth factors. These findings hold significant implications for the cell/protein combination therapy hPSC+NELL-1 in the development of strategies for vascularized bone regeneration.

- person in the U.S. has this name View Rose Bestland on Whitepages
Meaning & Origins
Ostensibly from the vocabulary word denoting the flower (Latin rosa). However, the name was in use throughout the Middle Ages, long before any of the other girls' names derived from flowers, which are generally of 19th-century origin. In part it may refer to the flower as a symbol of the Virgin Mary, but it seems more likely that it also has a Germanic origin, probably as a short form of various girls' names based on hros 'horse' or hrōd 'fame'. The Latinate form Rohesia is commonly found in documents of the Middle Ages. As well as being a name in its own right, it is currently used as a short form of Rosemary and, less often (because of their different pronunciation), of other names beginning Ros-, such as Rosalind and Rosamund.

Need bridge & culvert letting information?

NCDOT is responsible for maintaining the safety of more than 13,500 bridges and an additional 4,500 large pipes and culverts along the state's highways. These bridges are critical links in North Carolina's highway system, one of the largest in the nation. As infrastructure needs have grown, funding has not kept pace. To help address this funding gap and make the most efficient use of limited dollars, our comprehensive bridge program's focus is to ensure that we are making the best use of available funds toward the specific needs of each bridge, improving safety and access across the state, which bolsters economic growth.
NCDOT is committed to measuring and improving our overall performance. One of our goals is to make our infrastructure last longer by setting a target for at least 65 percent of our bridges rated to be in good condition or better. "Good" means that the deck, substructure and superstructure each score a six or greater on a nine-point scale. To get there, we use a data-driven strategy to improve the overall condition of all bridges in our state by focusing taxpayer dollars where they're needed most.
For years, the number of bridges the department improved or replaced annually wasn't keeping up with the number of bridges that were becoming deficient, so we reevaluated our bridge program to find ways to make it work better. As a result, we modified the program into a comprehensive strategy that focuses on timely maintenance, rehabilitation and replacement. We also make preserving bridges a priority, which extends their usable lives and prevents costly repairs in the future.
This new approach makes the best use of limited funding and enables us to upgrade North Carolina's bridges faster.
In 2011, we worked with the North Carolina General Assembly on an initiative to invest more state funding into our bridges in order to make strides in improving their condition. The result is the State-Funded Bridge Improvement Program. As part of this program, NCDOT is investing about $800 million over four years to not only replace, but also strategically preserve or rehabilitate existing bridges to extend their lifespan at a significant costs savings, stretching taxpayer dollars further while improving more bridges faster. This is the largest bridge program in the state's history, and is part of NCDOT's overarching Bridge Program, which uses both federal and state funds.
The N.C. General Assembly approved NCDOT to invest about $450 million for fiscal year 2012-2013. This investment resulted in:
Based on this success, the N.C. General Assembly approved an additional $330 million in the 2014-2015 budget to continue the program over the next two years.
Before planning a complete bridge replacement, NCDOT instead determines if parts of the bridge can be repaired or replaced. We use this information to evaluate whether it is more cost-effective to replace the bridge or if less expensive improvements will extend its useful life. By doing the right work, on the right bridge, at the right time, we can stretch our dollars further.
The department has a number of methods to replace a bridge, and is careful to select the best method for each project, which can help speed up overall construction and delivery time.
The table below depicts a snapshot of the total number of NCDOT bridge projects expected to be awarded in each Division through the end of 2014.

Quick Facts
All bridges go through a natural deterioration or aging process, although each bridge is unique in the way it ages. Regular inspections help the department identify whether a bridge needs maintenance and repair, and then schedule them accordingly. If we find a safety concern, we make repairs immediately or we will close the bridge until the repairs can be made. If necessary, we will post weight restrictions on a bridge. We will not keep a bridge open if it is determined to be unsafe.
Survey teams assess the condition of all elements on each bridge during an inspection, including:
A team of divers trained in underwater bridge inspection will examine any parts of the bridge that are underwater.
The condition of the major components is then recorded into a statewide bridge database, along with the type and extent of repairs needed, if any. A thorough structural analysis is performed and safe load carrying capacities are determined. If necessary, weight restrictions are placed on the bridge.
The sufficiency rating is calculated based on a formula defined by the Federal Highway Administration that places 55 percent value on the structural condition of the bridge, 30 percent on its serviceability and 15 percent on how essential it is to the public.
NCDOT inspects all state-owned structures. Municipalities are responsible for inspecting their own structures.
Structurally Deficient – This means that while the bridge remains safe, it requires repairs and was built to design standards no longer used for bridges. A bridge is considered structurally deficient if it is in relatively poor condition, or has insufficient load-carrying capacity. The insufficient load capacity could be due to age, the original design or to wear and tear.
Functionally Obsolete - This means the bridge is safe, but needs to be replaced to meet current and future traffic demands. A bridge is considered functionally obsolete if it is narrow, has inadequate under-clearances, has insufficient load-carrying capacity, is poorly aligned with the roadway, and can no longer adequately service today's traffic.
Sufficiency Rating - A bridge sufficiency rating includes a multitude of factors: inspection results of the structural condition of the bridge, traffic volumes, number of lanes, road widths, clearances, and importance for national security and public use, to name just a few. It is calculated per a formula defined by the Federal Highway Administration. The point calculation is based on a 0-100 scale and it compares the existing bridge to a new bridge designed to current engineering standards.
The bridge's sufficiency rating provides an overall measure of the bridge's condition and is used to determine eligibility for federal funds.
