About MS MR
They've been labeled as the 'mysterious' New York City-based duo with the "Hurricane"-force debut. But Lizzy Plapinger and Max Hershenow, aka MS MR, are more than just hype.
Yes, their 2012 hit "Hurricane" was nothing short of an alt-pop masterpiece. Yes, it's unofficial video garnered millions of hits on YouTube. And yes, they were awarded 'Best New Track' on Pitchfork. But the pair showed it was more than a one-hit wonder when they used their Tumblr page to debut their EP, the critically acclaimed "Candy Bar Creep Show." It also included the tracks "Bones," "Dark Doo Wop," and "Ash Tree Lane" when it bowed in the fall of 2012, much to the delight of both the mainstream and underground press.
Before long, MS MR could be heard just about everywhere. The song "Bones" was included on the trailer for the television series "Game of Thrones," and "Hurricane" served as official soundtrack during Fashion Week. With all the exposure it sure didn't take them long to find a home on Columbia Records for the release of their debut album, "Secondhand Rapture." They even worked with Tom Elmhirst (Adele, Amy Winehouse) on the mix and overall production, with the finished product showcasing MS MR's love for everything from '80s to new wave to country.
You might've heard that MS MR is all different genres, all different time periods. It's true. Their sound has been compared to Florence and the Machine, Kavinsky, Lana Del Rey and more. Fans got a taste when MS MR toured extensively in 2013, and they're currently back on stage as part of 30 Days in LA. Get your MS MR tickets now!

With his brother Pau Gasol and fellow NBA big man Serge Ibaka both out, Marc Gasol will have to shoulder the load for a Spanish team that still has high aspirations at EuroBasket 2013. The Memphis Grizzlies big man has taken his place among the elite centers in the NBA. Gasol features all the tools to be a leader of a great team. The 28-year-old has great low post moves and tremendous passing ability for a big man. He can also step out and hit a mid-range jumper and makes opponents pay for fouling him with good free shooting. Defensively, all one needs to know is that Gasol won the 2013 NBA Defensive Player of the Year award. Gasol and the Grizzlies advanced to the NBA Western Conference finals for the first time this season but lost to the San Antonio Spurs in four games. Gasol will be looking to put a disappointing end to a strong season behind him.

Adrian Sutil's 100th grand prix start ended in an early shower as the German retired 20 laps into the Hungarian Grand Prix...
Adrian Sutil's 100th grand prix start ended in an early shower as the German retired 20 laps into the Hungarian Grand Prix.
Starting 11th on the Hungaroring grid, the Force India driver had hoped to mark his centenary with a solid showing in the points.
After a poor start in which he lost places, Sutil began to work his way back up the order when he encountered a gear shift issue.
Pulling into the pits, Sutil was informed of a hydraulic problem and told to retire his car.
"It's disappointing not to finish, especially as the race was coming back to me after a poor start on the medium tyres," he said.
"Just before my pit stop I had a problem with the gear shifts and I could not shift up any more.
"I came into the pits and it became clear we had a hydraulic problem so the team immediately told me to park the car."
The team's woes continued as Paul di Resta retired later in the grand prix also with a hydraulic problem.
"Paul's race was quite straightforward, but we did not have the speed to make his three-stop strategy work - despite his superb start," said team boss Vijay Mallya.
"With a few laps to go we noticed a similar hydraulic issue with his car and he also had to retire.
"With the next race coming up in four weeks' time, we will analyse our performance and work hard to recapture our form in Spa."

Men's Basketball Coach Ed DeChellis Signs Two-Year Extension
Wednesday, June 20, 2001Johnson City, Tenn. -- East Tennessee State University announced today that men's basketball head coach Ed DeChellis has signed a two-year contract extension that lasts through the 2004-05 season. "Not only has Ed DeChellis restored the winning tradition of East Tennessee State basketball," athletic director Todd Stansbury said. "He has recruited the type of student-athlete that everyone can be proud of. Coach DeChellis' program produces student-athletes that win on the floor and, more importantly, excel in life." The 2001 Southern Conference Coach of the Year, DeChellis led last year's squad to the SoCon North Division Championship and the best record by any conference member (13-3). The Bucs' 18 overall wins was the most during his five-year tenure. The Monaca, Penn., native led the 2000-01 team to a seven-game win streak, the longest since the 1991-92 season. Also last season, the Bucs captured their largest margin of victory in a non-conference game and in a Southern Conference game. After taking over a team that won just seven games in 1995-96, DeChellis has improved the Buccaneer program every year, including last year's Conference title. He has compiled a 67-71 (.486) record in five years, and is 49-36 (.576) in the last three years. "I would like to thank Dr. Paul Stanton and Todd Stansbury for their support of the men's basketball program," DeChellis said. "Their confidence in the direction of this program inspires me to continue our quest for an NCAA Tournament bid."

Chalayan / Fall 2012 Ready-to-Wear
Search a show by:
Backstage after his show, a relaxed and jovial Hussein Chalayan wasn't as interested in speaking about concepts or theory as much as he was about the clothes. "I've been doing this for seventeen years," Chalayan said. "The shapes just come naturally to me at this point." This is Hussein Chalayan, though, a man who can't—won't—abandon the rigorous, thoughtful, and oftentimes deeply witty framework he brings to each and every thing he does. So for fall, he had his graphic, color-blocked, and columnar looks shown against shifting, blurred, flickering projections, whose individual scenes corresponded to the clothes they were running behind. Chalayan mentioned an example, drawing parallels between the domestic ambience of the moving image, and clothes—in this case, evening dresses—that wrap and drape around the body to suggest a cozy, welcoming intimacy.
That said . . . seventeen years. For a designer of Chalayan's relative youth—he's 41—that's a long time to be working. And it is an awful lot of clothes. Despite the intelligence of many of his elaborately staged and choreographed runway shows, which have referenced everything from geopolitics to aerodynamics to his own personal ancestry, their cleverness more often than not has gone hand in hand with original, brilliant fashion. That, then, was the real concept here: Chalayan taking a moment to reconfigure and rethink some of the clothes he has made over the years. The domestic reference, for instance—he explored it years ago in London when he had furniture transformed into clothing, to memorable and dazzling effect. Ditto the linear dresses in planes of red jersey that opened his fall show, which recalled one presentation where he explored the chador.
Where did all this leave him? Playing to his strengths—dresses with geometric shapes scissored away to reveal different layers beneath; oversize jackets with a precise hand applied to their molded volumes; perfect slim trousers. In other words, a distillation of Chalayan's more esoteric and intellectual impulses into a collection that was simple and direct in its desirability. Sometimes that's concept enough.

Personally I love the Dolphins stadium logo. They already said its going to look similar so you should probably get use to it awhile.
What pisses me off is a few members have seen it and can't even give us a hint. Surely they're not sworn by
law to keep it a secret.
I am not in my 50's. I have respect though for the best periods of Fins Football. I was not around in the 70's...born in 76. However, I got hooked by Marino in the mid 80's. Throwback to the happy Dolphin jumping through the sun.
This link but a complete brand change would be disaster.
I think the uniforms we have right now are the best they have ever been. Having said that I do think change could be good. It could also be a disaster. But most teams that have made complete overhauls to their uniform and logos have had some pretty impressive turnarounds. Teams that were complete failures like Tampa, New England, Atlanta, Airzona, and Seattle went to superbowls shortly after their logo changes. You can throw the Browns into that list as well, when they changed to the Ravens and moved, they too have turned around a franchise that had never been to a superbowl.
I say everything has a shelf life, including team vision. We need to aim for a tougher look and feel, no more pastel colors. We aren't a soccer team, this is Americian football. I think a little reinventing could be a good thing. Heaven knows we haven't done much with the way things have been the last couple decades.
This is the new "impact design' Nike has for all the teams. I'm NOT for a black jersey, but it does look awesome. I posted it cause I really like the numbers and could see a gray version similar to this. Oh that would be sick. If Reggie gets resigned next year, I'm buying this.
Lets make the Dolphins eye plain red.....more menacing, almost possessed
I Love JESUS CHRIST
To the world you may be just one person, but to one person you may be the world

Lotus took the wraps off a stepped-nose E21 as they became the first to launch their new car...
Lotus took the wraps off a step-nosed E21 as they became the first to launch their new car.
The team, who claimed one victory on their way to fourth place in last year's Constructors' Championship, kicked off the pre-season launches with an on-line event on Monday night.
"Pushing the same concepts", according to James Allison, as last year, this season's Lotus appears more tightly packaged as an evolution of its predecessor.
Added to that the car also features the stepped-nose despite many believing that would fall by the wayside.
But rather than dropping off the cars, this year the step will be covered by a vanity plate. That, though, was not present at the unveiling. The car retains the black-and-gold livery with splashes of red while in white it sports the hashtag 'ImSexyAndIKnowIt'.
Speaking at the event team boss Eric Boullier laid out Lotus' goal for this season, which is to beat one of the big three to third place.
"We will try obviously but thid place is the least we would like to have next year," said the Frenchman. "We expect to continue with the momentum we had from 2012 as both drivers are more eager.
"We have delivered a nice car and are really really keen to do better. "We will fight with everything we can to be top three."

Rugged, water-resistant to protect your grandest plans
Big projects call for BIG blueprints and schematics. So big, in fact, that such oversized documents don't fit in a briefcase or even typical protective tubes. But Telescoping Docu-Tube does the trick. It shrinks down to a standard 26" in length, or telescopes to a whopping 43-3/8" - big enough for wide-format print-outs, maps and giant posters. Locking tabs let you extend the 3-3/4"-dia. tube in 3/4" increments to the precise length you need. Screw-on lid has transparent snap cap for ID label. Rugged, lightweight, water-resistant polyethene with adjustable web shoulder strap. Carry on, sir.

Best Uses
Years ago I bought a Duluth document tube that was awesome, but not adjustable. I needed a larger one and I thought this would work. I am afraid to put my larger documents in it. I would use this to transport large format prints that need to stay pristine to the final buyer. My fears are that since the locks are so flimsy that the tube will adjust down and crush the edges of my work. I'm not sure the tube is actually waterproof since it is not clear to me what seals the space between the top tube and the lower tube. If it were not for the strap, the thing would just fall apart. I will be returning this asap.
Best Uses
I use the tube to hold vinyl 3'x5' banners. They get tossed in the back of my truck under the tonneau cover. The good: lightweight, secure cap, easy to adjust strap length. The not so good: length lockers do not hold their position. I use the strap to keep the tube from lengthening and coming apart.
Best Uses
Great product. I use it in my truck to protect maps of our buried communcations cables that I have to mark for excavators. Prior to this I went through 2 sets in a year. I think I will probably have this set until it is updated, every three years or so.
Best Uses
Overall too flimsy & lock adjustment not solid
Expandable Tube 3 3/4 inch

Practice Philosophy
Plastic surgery is an important personal decision and event in your life. Enhancing and improving your natural assets are the objective of plastic surgery, so procedures are designed specifically around your needs and desires, keeping in mind what is appropriate for you. This is the guiding principle in my plastic surgery practice: natural, subtle improvements, instead of artificial, radical changes.
Essential to being able to help you achieve this " better version of you " is understanding your expectations and desires. In general, plastic surgery can make us look and feel younger, eliminate or minimize physical imperfections, and help us be more confident about the way we look. But only through an open, trusting patient-doctor relationship can a doctor come to understand what constitutes a successful outcome in each patient's eyes. This is why I believe that the ultimate success of any plastic surgery procedure begins with your first visit to our office. My goal is to fully understand the results you wish to obtain and to communicate to you what can be achieved through the latest plastic surgery techniques and procedures being performed today. Investing time and effort in building a strong, trusting doctor-patient relationship, one that allows the patient to ask the right questions and to make informed, careful decisions, is simply the best way I know to ensure that you are happy with your results.
I welcome you to come to my office for a consultation and to spend as much time as you need discussing your expectations and desires. We are committed to helping you understand all of your options before you decide what is best for you.
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery including all Cosmetic Procedures
At Dr. Nikolov's practice, we recognize that plastic surgery is an important personal decision and event in your life. The entire staff at Dr. Nikolov's office is dedicated to the highest standard of care and results, while maintaining your privacy and confidentiality and treating you, our patient, with the utmost professionalism and respect.
Ensuring good communication between you and Dr. Nikolov is our primary concern when planning your surgery. In your initial consultation, you'll be asked to explain in detail why you are contemplating plastic surgery and how you hope to look and feel afterward. It is important to set aside any awkwardness you might feel, and speak candidly about the changes you would like to see with Dr. Nikolov. You should feel completely assured that you and Dr. Nikolov understand one another.
During your pre-operative visits, we will also evaluate your health, conduct a physical exam, take pre-operative photographs, and explain which surgical techniques are most appropriate for you. You will discuss the type of anesthesia to be used, the type of facility where the surgery will be performed, and the possible, and cost involved.
A pleasant operating room environment and our patient's safety are our utmost concerns. Therefore, surgeries are performed in an accredited outpatient surgical facility using only board-certified anesthesiologists and nurses. However, some procedures may be performed at a local hospital when necessary.

Kosher Meat
|Braised Beef Brisket
Adapted from How to Cook Everything by Mark Bittman
My favorite beef brisket recipe is about as basic as it gets, with no more additional flavoring than onion, garlic, and tomato. Searing the brisket before you braise it develops the flavor of the meat somewhat, but if you're in a hurry, you can skip Step 1—just sauté the onion, add the other ingredients, cover, and throw it in the oven. Use homemade stock for a truly exceptional pan sauce.
1 tablespoon neutral oil, like grapeseed or corn, or extra virgin olive oil (optional)
Heat the oven to 325°F (you can also cook this brisket on top of the stove if you like). If you choose to brown the brisket first, heat a large pot with a lid or a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. When hot, add the oil, swirl it around, then add the beef. Sear it for about 5 minutes on each side, or until nicely browned. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and transfer to a platter.
Wipe out the pan with paper towels and return it to the stove; turn the heat to medium and add the margarine. When it foams, add the onion and cook, stirring, until golden and soft, at least 10 minutes. Add some salt and pepper, then stir in the tomato paste and the garlic. Return the meat to the pan, add the stock, and cover.
Cook over low heat or in the oven, turning the meat about every 30 minutes, until tender, 2 1/2 to 3 hours. If the sauce seems too thin, allow the meat to rest on a platter for a few minutes while you boil the liquid down over high heat, scraping the bottom of a pan with a wooden spoon, until it thickens somewhat. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning. Slice the meat, return it to the sauce, and serve.

The publication of a new translation by Fagles is a literary event. His translations of both the Iliad and Odyssey have sold hundreds of thousands of copies and have become the standard translations of our era. Now, with this stunning modern verse translation, Fagles has reintroduced Virgil's Aeneid to a whole new generation, and completed the classical triptych at the heart of Western civilization.
The Aeneid is a sweeping epic of arms and heroism and a searching portrait of a man caught between love, duty, and the force of his own destiny. Here, Fagles brings to life the timeless journey of Aeneas as he flees the ashes of Troy to found Roman society and change forever the course of the Western world.
Fagles' translation retains all of the gravitas and humanity of the original as well as its powerful blend of poetry and myth.
Download the accompanying reference guide.
Translation ©2006 Robert Fagles
(P)2006 Penguin Audio, a member of Penguin Group (USA) Inc. All rights reserved.
"Fagles is best"
I've been a huge fan of Fagles' translations before buying this book and this translation does not disappoint. For epics such as this, the Iliad, and the Odyssey I've chosen to to read the actual book as I'm listening. For people, such as myself, whose concentration is not the greatest (I've had a couple strokes so I have an excuse) the combination of listening while reading is terrific.
I think the narrator is terrific and Rober Fagles is just amazing. If you like Fagles Aeneid, be sure to read and/or listen to his Iliad and Odyssey. Also, check out Steven Mitchell's "Gilgamesh", also availble from audible.com.
"Not the best, but not bad"
I don't think this is the best Aeneid on audiobook -- if you have to choose, get the Charlton Griffin one -- but it's not bad. The translation is wonderful: pithy, hard-hitting, and tough; it's worth having this one to get Fagles' take on Virgil, if nothing else. But the performance, though I liked it, is definitely not to everyone's taste. Simon Callow (or the producer?) decided to do it as if it were a one-man stage show, rather than a studio reading. If you've ever seen Callow doing Charles Dickens, you get the idea: it's a very broad performance.
On the other hand, Aeneas needs a boost. As epic heroes go, he's a pill and a half: dutiful to a fault, self-righteous and self-justifying ("well, I never actually used the word MARRIAGE, did I?"). Virgil takes received wisdom and the Grandeur that was Rome at face value, where Homer delightfully subverts everything he touches.
"The Best Aeneid Translation Ever"
This translation of the Aeneid stands head and shoulders above anything else I have seen in English. It's exciting, to the point, and very very nuanced. The narrator is a fantastic choice too. His voice creates a world and moves you along through it. I put on my earphones just intending to to listen to a few minutes of the beginning the night I downloaded this, and I was pulled in for four hours of adventure before I could finally force myself to click "stop".
"Narration Spotty"
Although the narration is dramatic and in keeping with the quality of the translation, the narator's voice becomes unintelligible at the end of each passage. I gave up trying to listen while driving or exercising. I simply could not understand what was being said. If you purchase this title, I suggest you also buy the book and read it while listening to the narrator's performance, or else listen in a very quiet environment.
"Naration not easy to understand"
The narrator's dramatic voice frequently fades in volume and elocution near the end of sentences. So, listen to this story at home; not on the road or other places where the ambient noise will make hearing difficult.
"A hellenist's review of the audio Aeneid"
I should provide a quick note on my bias before I begin my review: I am a graduate student in classics However, I am a hellenist (i.e. I study Greek rather than Roman stuff). I also really don't like Virgil.
I have to confess that although I study classics, I have never been able to get all the way through the Aeneid before this (I've just read the sections I needed to get the gist for class). I've really tried to get into it-- I previously read portions of the Fagles, Fitzgerald, and Mandelbaum translations-- but I just couldn't get hooked. The audiobook did the trick-- I listened to the whole thing over the course of a week.
Simon Callow can be a little over dramatic and female voices are pretty grating, but he read at a reasonable pace and he kept my interest in the story. I actually even enjoyed some of it.
Fagles' translation of the Latin (I've read books II and VIII in Latin, so I have some minimal basis for judgement) has the virtue of being fairly literal, while still providing an accessible modern English text. In general, Fagles' translations seem to be more enjoyable aloud than on paper (I have also recently listened to Fagles' Odyssey and I found it to be the same way).
As I've mentioned, the Aeneid is not really my cup of tea. Yet, listening to it gave the story a different and more enjoyable pace. I highly suggest the audio version for anyone who needs to read Virgil's epic either for class or exams (or, honestly, for anyone who just wants a passing acquaintance with the influential texts of classical literature).
"Perfect in every way"
I really have very little to say on this one. Fagles' natural gifts (and of course Virgil's too) come shining through thanks to Simon Callow's sophisticated and energetic reading. Unlike some other "actors" reading the classics, Callow clearly understands everything he is saying, and says it beautifully.
"Very Good"
This is an extremely enjoyable translation, and Callow's narration is truly a performance. You definitely get your money's worth from this audiobook. I find it odd that some people think the work is better read than listened to; or they don't like the performance aspect of Callow's narration. These epic poems were meant to be spoken, and I imagine the best presenters in ancient times would have done it Callow's way. I almost rated it four stars only because as epic poems go, it is not as good as either the Illiad or the Odyssey. But that is really on Virgil. I don't think it would be fair to Fagles or Callow to rate it less than five stars.
"I'm happy I bought this one"
This combination of translation and narration brings the beauty and passion of this work to the modern listener in a way similar to how it must have struck the ancient one. Some basic knowledge of the classical period will be helpful. The narrator does have a habit of dropping his voice at the end of sentences but this is a minor flaw considering his overall excellent rendition. This presentation helps one to understand why Virgil's work is a timeless classic.
I love words that can take me into other worlds.
"Grand epic"
I downloaded this with some trepidation, fearing it would be too dense for listening. But the combination of a very accessible translation and a brilliant reading have proved my concerns unfounded. This is a marvelous way to enjoy one of the masterpieces of classical Roman literature. In many ways, it's better than reading, as the reader glides over names whose pronunciation would baffle me. I have listened to this while jogging and even cooking and have never found myself lost. A great story told by a great storyteller.

Do We Need to Rethink Wisdom Education?
The self comes into being physically and emotionally over nine long months in the womb. A neural network through tuning of the brain takes shape via physically experiencing life in the womb environment.
Our inner most self is formed and is understood in physical emotions, it is understood by the right brain that feels in pure emotions without any expression in words. The left brain develops along side but remains kind of incapable of figuring out its self as the left brain works in words and it does not understand life in words at this early stage.
It is clear that our inner most being is purely emotional. Our self image is created on emotional experiences in the womb and the initial physical experiences of life during the first few years of life. Experiencing life through words comes gradually much later as language is slowly learned and understood by the left brain. By the time the self is understood in words the emotional self expressed in physical biochemical reactions is already well set.
The self image is set up through pure wordless emotions and if the self image is defective and needs to be changed, its emotional intelligence has to be changed. This can only happen by improving the physical quality of the brain through wordless emotional healing. As emotional intelligence at the super mature stage is wisdom; wisdom too is determined by the physical quality of the right brain.
Wisdom education is a failure because we ignore that wisdom is a pure emotion that stems innately from the physical brain and thus to create wisdom; the wisdom generating property of the brain has to be improved. We go nowhere because we continue to teach wisdom through words while ignoring the physical condition of the emotional brain. It is like fresh knowledge in words is put into the brain in a foreign language that the brain does not understand and so it has little effect on improving the brain's knowledge. The only knowledge the right brain understands is in pure emotions!
Grace Greene
Feb 3 2013: It's not clear to me that our innermost selves are purely emotional. It is clear to me that emotions are nothing more than warning signals that there is an error in our belief structures. When we are completely rational, emotions no longer control us in the name of guiding us. Ego fades away. Life blooms.
- +1
Feb 3 2013: It is the emotional upbringing that creates the physical brain structure that determines the quality of the emotional intelligence output. The warning signals themselves are symptoms of the emotionally challenged brain. "When we are completely rational, emotions no longer control us. Ego fades away. Life blooms" is your perfect observation. But the question is how do we make individuals, groups, country and corporations completely rational?
Not by our current way of teaching wisdom/emotional-intelligence. Teaching wisdom through imparting knowledge, pleading, preaching, carrots and sticks is like trying to tell an emotionally challenged brain to become emotionally healthy. It is like telling brass to become gold. What we succeed in doing through words is brain washing. Wisdom education needs more than brain washing; it needs physical brain purifying.
I have developed a few new innovative ways to master the art of life by improving the health of the brain, mind, body and the self. Please google:

Jan 28 2013: I would have to ask you to state your definition of wisdom. I see wisdom as the most practical application or thought pattern that allows for the successful outcome of a particular problem. Also, Wisdom is like Occam's razor, the simplest solution to fit the facts.
- +1
Now please correct me if I am incorrect in assessing your points. I believe you to say that words and knowledge have little effect because of the underlying emotional state of the mind. I agree to a point. I think in a tug of war the amygdala and emotions trumps logic in an even fight, but I also believe that over the last 100,000+ the neo-cortex has evolved so that language and social skills do have an impact on emotional states and can thus affect our mental well being.
quick example. (true story, I was there, but just listening) Person A says they took a Gideon bible from a hotel because they were very interested in it and forgot it was in their bag. Person A felt terrible and was guilt ridden. person B tells person A "the Gideon's put those there for you to take. They want you to take them, and are happy to replace them" Person A is immediately happy and relieved.
Now, no physical objects moved. This had very little to do with physical laws. More primal was a thought that entered into a human mind via the auditory system, entering Wernicke's area, translated from perception to conception which then affected the emotional state of the right brain.
Neurologically this tells me there is some connection from the language centers of the brain over to the emotional state. If this is so (I may be incorrect) Then language could be used as a tool to affect the emotional state in a positive and negative way. IF we define wisdom as assessing something differently, then use language to convey that information, we may have a tool to better mankind's mental state.
I also believe wisdom is much more, but this is one small aspect
Jan 28 2013: Thank you for your interest in this topic. Wisdom is a pure emotion that is generated by an emotional baggage free brain. It is like a fragrance of the brain. Which means wisdom is an innate product of an emotionally super healthy brain. Wisdom is generated emotionally by the right brain which functions in biochemical reactions alone.
Trying to persuade one to become wise through knowledge of wisdom in words is like teaching in French to one who does not know French. It is like pleading with a dirty bed sheet to clean itself. It is like asking brass to become gold. It is like trying to enlighten a defective machine to function smoothly. Talking to the right brain in words is virtually like talking to a rock. No wonder current wisdom education is a failure.
It is like teaching someone to become an expert of what it means to be a millionaire. Becoming a millionaire is something else! Similarly it is not about having the knowledge of wisdom; it is about becoming wisdom.
The right brain does not understand in words, only through biochemical reactions and so when we try to teach wisdom through words the left brain/mind gets it, but has little effect on the right brain. It is like the wisdom knowledge in words is a foreign language to the right brain and so it does not understand and as a result wisdom education in words is a failure. It is the right brain that functions in emotions and so it is the right brain that projects the quality of emotional intelligence/wisdom. Thus to improve the quality of emotional intelligence it is the right brain that has to be physically improved. So wisdom education is brain therapy.
However you are right, words do have an impact; but it is more like brain washing rather than brain purifying. The unwise brain is an ore that needs more than washing; it needs to be purified into a super mature emotionally healthy brain.
In your example person A felt guilty but when told that he did no wrong; the guilt was replaced by happiness.
Leo Taylor
Jan 29 2013: hmm. Interesting. If you define wisdom as a pure emotion I would agree with a lot of what you say. I believe there are some neurological links between left hemisphere and right. The corpus collosum. Not a perfect connection, but it is there. I see what you mean that words have a limited affect and emotional stability and enhancement need to come from other avenues. Music perhaps? relaxation? less words more altruistic training maybe? Being a Neur-philosophy I will tend to believe that the modification will still come from the senses. Sight, hearing, smell, touch etc. Perhaps not words which must pass through the left hemisphere first. And if this filters the information to the right then there may be a challenge.
- +1
That being said. I differ with you on the definition of wisdom. To me wisdom translates to thoughts and actions. Is it wise to walk into a bar, walk up to the largest drunk man and insult him? Well, That would depend on what outcome you want. If you want peace, then perhaps no. But, if for some reason you need to sport a black eye or prove something (whatever it may be) then it may be a wise move. Not a perfect analogy but it is used to demonstrate that the same action can be wise or unwise depending on what outcome you want.
In regards to thoughts we can take the "don't talk to strangers" idea that we have in the U.S. As I recall this took hold 30 years ago with the idea of keeping children safe and teach them to only trust people they know. When the research came back it was learned that this was unwise, because it taught social mistrust AND it was pointed out that a majority of child abuse was performed by trusted family members, not strangers. To me, the point when someone realized the truth ( or at least a more accurate view) of the "don't talk to strangers" policy that person became more wise and could alter behavior or thought patterns accordingly.
Merely a difference in our definition of wisdom.
Sajid Khan
Jan 29 2013: Wisdom is an innate projection of a brain that is emotional baggage free. As long as the emotional baggage in the brain is not addressed; providing knowledge of wisdom in words will have little effect. It is like trying to enlighten a nitrogen producing machine to produce oxygen.
- +1
Emotions at the highest super mature stage become wisdom; at the lowest premature stage emotions become ignorance. Love at the highest stage becomes wisdom expressed as pure love. One can also say that wisdom is an emotion purifier.
I have already posted 1500+ articles on wisdom, emotional intelligence, brain, mind, consciousness etc. Please google, '4th r foundation' and 'wisdom einpresswire' to read my ideas.

University of Virginia - Scott Stadium
This panorama of the University of Virginia's Scott Stadium was taken by Nathan Haler. Scott Stadium's Pergola Plaza and grass hillside help make it one of the nation's most picturesque football stadiums. Located in Charlottesville, Virginia, Scott Stadium opened on Oct. 15, 1931 with a seating capacity of 22,000. The stadium was built thanks to a gift from Frederic William Scott and Elisabeth Strother Scott, and was dedicated to the memory of his parents, Frederic Robert Scott and Frances Branch Scott. In addition to serving as the home of Cavalier football, Scott Stadium has hosted performances from the Dave Matthews Band, the Rolling Stones and U2. After several expansion projects, the stadium's capacity is now 61,500.

Boston Bombing Suspect's Body Finally 'Entombed,' Police Say
The body of Boston Marathon bombings suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev "is now entombed," the Worcester, Mass., police department announced Thursday morning.
The statement does not reveal where Tsarnaev's remains were taken, only that "as a result of our public appeal for help, a courageous and compassionate individual came forward to provide the assistance needed to properly bury the deceased. His body is no longer in the City of Worcester and is now entombed."
Tsarnaev died on April 19 following a gun battle with police. The twin bombings near the marathon's finish line, which killed three people and wounded more than 250, happened April 15. The other suspect in the bombings, Tsarnaev's brother Dzhokhar, was captured on the 19th.
As we've reported, Worcester funeral director Peter Stefan had been trying in vain for more than two weeks to find a cemetery or locality willing to take Tamerlan Tsarnaev's body. On Wednesday, Worcester police Chief Gary Gemme talked about the thousands of dollars it was costing his department to protect Stefan's funeral home and added these emotional words: "We are not barbarians, we bury the dead."

I want to learn to properly weld a roll cage into a production based racecar. The cage would be contructed of 1.5" OD x .095" wall DOM Steel Tubing.
I will be using my Millermatic 212 with .030" wire and 75/25 argon/co2 mix.
Any tips or suggestion on starting settings for my Millermatic and techniques for welding the cage is much appreciated.

How to weld a mild steel roll cage
Try to get good fit ups in all your connections. Move around while welding so as not to get to much heat in one area. If your not sure of your welding skills then get someone who knows.MM250

As MMW said, fit up will be critical for a good cage. I'd also suggest in investing in a good tubing notcher, such as a JD2, Ol' Joint Jigger, or a JMR tubing notcher. Having well cut tubes will make a big difference on how the quality of your weld turns out. I'd also cut up a bunch of test joints to practice on.Tack the new tube in at least 3 places to prevent movement, and then proceed. Start with going around the tube joint a 1/3 at a time, till you become proficient enough to do 1/2, or all of the joint at one time. Again, paying attention to heat, and quality of weld.
Another tool that will help along the way is called a "Pipemaster", basically, it patterns what the cut on the tube your joining to the rest, should look like, and gives you a pattern to cut to for a good joint.

My tip would be tack the entire cage together before any finish welding to keep warping to a minimum. Jump around as opposed to welding in one area to keep heat down as stated above.
A big + 1 on all above. Have to recomend a DVD for ya. RON COVELL "Working with tubing." I have a few of his DVDs and there a good deal for the price. Lots of info. You can order them here. http://covell.biz/ One day Ill have the complete set.Dynasty 200 DX

Thanks to everyone, We are building a roadrace car to SCCA specs. I have quite a bit of time to practice seeing that we will not be doing this till next fall/winter (the cage will come in kit form requring fitting and welding).
What about heat settings and wire feed speed? I read the article here on the Miller site about Hendrick Motorsports using the Millermatic 210, the article mentioned heat settings of 4 and 5 and wire speeds of 35 - 45 IPM if I remember correctly, just not sure of the specs for the NASCAR cage, I believe it is DOM mild steel, as for the wall thickness, I have no idea.
Also, what about welding the cage to the rocker panels/firewall of the car, any special considerations in doing this work?
Remeber someones life could depend on this cage.If not done properly and it fails to protect well.
Have someone chk your work. and practice as suggested to get the feel of doing round tubibg
Also weld settings are just " starting points" get you close ,most welders adjust to their liking and speed and weld character.At least thats how I do it .
Most cages use 3/16's plates to distrbute the downforce of the tube in case of rollover .
Proper cages usually sit right on top of the main frame rails.
But I'm not up on SCCA cars and design.
If its your first cage seek someone to inspect your plan before doing it.
have fun
Love the power of Blue

As Fortyfords said, have someone check your work. When I built my 25.4 chassis, I asked questions of a couple different track tech guys I know. And, probably most important, I asked many questions of the NHRA inspector that would eventually be tagging the chassis. That way if he red flagged something, I could say, "but that's how you told me to do it".
BTW It passed first time by NHRA & IHRA, I think mainly because I kept them in the loop during the build process.

Get and study the SCCA rule book if you have not done so alleady. Be sure you are building to your class too. It will set the guidelines and rules you have to follow. Things like the square inch size of each cage foot, total number of bends in a main hoop, support tube angles, total number of contact points and many other important details are all spelled out. The actual welding is about 5% of the time spent building a good cage IMO. Thinking, planning, drawing, cutting, bending, fitting, cutting, fitting, recutting, fitting and tweeking are about 90%. The other 5% is grinding paint off and cleaning up beer bottles (in some shops).
Look a the other good work and methods. This is not a try it and see if it works kind of thing. Testing and having a cage fail in real world is bad news for the crash test dummy. The cage feet have to resist being pulled away as much as being pushed down. A rollover is far less common than a hit in the sides. A cage needs to be able to resist being deformed from all directions.
(edit) Installing a kit cage, the cage will likely come with instructions.Weekend wannab racer with some welders.

More than 60 Lawmakers Relied Mostly on Out-of-State Money
May 7, 2013 | All members of Congress get checks from outside their districts or states. But in the 2012 election cycle, at least 66 senators and House members relied on out-of-state donors for more than half of their campaign funds.
Capital Eye Opener, July 19: Tax Releases, Body Politics and More
July 19, 2012 | Democrats propose candidate tax disclosure, Sarah Silverman makes Sheldon Adelson an indecent proposal and a new app promotes transparency in today's Capital Eye Opener.
Sen. Jim DeMint, Adopting EMILY's List and ActBlue Tactics, Pumping Cash into GOP Pockets
October 5, 2010 | Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.), a Tea Party-loving conservative who wants to shake up and remold the institution he currently calls home, stands above other lawmakers in the frontier of creative uses of leadership PACs to aide fellow candidates.
Committee Members Speak Out–Or Stay Mum–On Health Care
July 9, 2009 | Over the past three weeks, Capital Eye has contacted members of five Capitol Hill committees responsible for drafting health care reform legislation this summer. Here are their responses (and non-responses) and the money they're collecting from various industries.
Tracking Your Representatives' Health Care Cash
June 25, 2009 | Here's a cool tool that brings together data from various parts of OpenSecrets.org to show how much money each current lawmaker has raised from various health-related industries and the health sector overall since 1989 (including President Obama's haul).
In Defense Spending Battle, Lawmakers Seek Funds for Top Donors
April 27, 2009 | Members of both the House and Senate defense appropriations subcommittees are slated to meet as early as this week to mark up the $83.4 billion supplemental request from the Obama administration. In preparation, some lawmakers have already been lobbying their colleagues to support requests that will benefit defense contractors in their home states--companies that also help fill the campaign coffers of many members of Congress.
Embattled Lobbying Firm PMA Targeted Members of Defense Committees
February 12, 2009 | The close ties between Rep. John Murtha and a Washington lobbying firm raided by the FBI have put the powerful Pennsylvania Democrat under greater scrutiny. The lobbyists at PMA Group have been Murtha's fifth most generous campaign donor over time, but he is just one of 284 members of the 111th Congress who have collected money from the firm, which specializes in securing federal earmarks for its clients. In total, PMA Group's employees and its political action committee have given current members of Congress $3.4 million since 1989.
House Members Rely on Out-of-State Donors
October 28, 2008 | There may be no place like home but that's not where members of the House of Representatives have turned to raise enough cash to win their re-election races. According to a new study from MAPLight.org based on the Center for Responsive Politics's campaign contribution data, between 2005 and 2007, 97 percent of members of the House raised more than half of their funds from donors living outside of their districts.
Races to Watch VII: Where Cash Has No Competition
October 2, 2008 | Like reading tea leaves, one way to predict how a congressional race is going to go is by looking at the disparity in fundraising between the candidates. So far this election cycle, 280 House and Senate incumbents on November's ballot have collected at least 10 times more than the opponent they face in the general election. In this installment of Races to Watch, Capital Eye looks into why some of these incumbents have been such successful fundraisers.
Races to Watch VI: Candidates Backed by PACs
October 1, 2008 | More than a quarter of the money raised by congressional candidates on the November ballot has come from business and labor PACs, not from individual donors, according to the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics. Capital Eye has profiled some races where labor union and business PAC money is playing the largest role.
Money and Votes Aligned in Congress's Last Debate Over Bank Regulation
September 23, 2008 | The last time Congress seriously debated how to regulate the financial industry, the result was legislation that allowed the nation's largest banks to get even larger and take risks that had been prohibited since the Great Depression. A look back at that debate, which was over the 1999 Financial Services Modernization Act, reveals that campaign contributions may have influenced the votes of politicians who, a decade later, are now grappling with the implosion of the giant banks they helped to foster.
Brothers Grim: Is Lehman Next?
September 12, 2008 | Uncle Sam bailed out Freddie Mac and the company's twin sister, Fannie Mae, this week, and the next in line in the Wall Street family to get a helping hand might just be Lehman Brothers. Executives at the struggling investment bank are looking to sell the company with assistance from the government--and fast--as its stock plunges. Although the government isn't expected to completely bail out Lehman Brothers, the fourth-largest U.S. investment bank, the company has built a strong financial relationship with politicians over the years and coincidentally ranks fourth in the largest contributors in the race for the White House.
Update: Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Invest in Lawmakers
September 11, 2008 | When the federal government announced two months ago that it would be seizing mortgage buyers Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, CRP looked at how much money members of Congress had collected since 1989 from the companies. On Sunday the government proceeded with the takeover and we've returned to our data to bring you the updates, this time providing a list of all 354 lawmakers who have gotten money from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (in July we posted the top 25).

When I heard "farmers market," I first pictured an open-air market with a patchwork of vendors selling fruits, veggies, pickles, and cheeses. This is not that. The Buford Highway Farmers Market is a 100,000 square-foot grocery megastore, about Costco-sized, open seven days a week, and it's insane. If there was a Nobel Prize for markets, this would absolutely deserve to win.
Since 1974, the BHFM has been stocking all sorts of international foods for the people of Atlanta. Owner Harold Shinn's family first focused on Asian foods, especially Korean, but as the city's population diversified—particularly along the sprawl of Buford Highway—so did the market's offerings. You'll now find goods from Mexico, Central and South America, the Caribbean, West Africa, Japan, China, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, Eastern Europe and beyond.
To understand this variety you have to understand the actual highway's history a bit. Drive along the seven-lane artery—that runs six miles from Atlanta to Buford, GA—and you'll pass a melange of mom-and-pop businesses. Restaurants, salons, and other retail spaces—more than 1,000 immigrant-owned businesses—all clustered in strip malls. Like other American cities, such as Houston and Los Angeles, Atlanta experienced an influx of new immigration that moved straight to the suburbs where housing was cheaper.
At the highway's intersection with I-285, the BHFM sits before a giant parking lot. (Beware on Saturdays and Sundays; this place is packed to the rafters.) Inside, it's like the Epcot of grocery stores. Name another market where you can find Thai bananas, fresh kimchi, Gulf oysters, Eastern European pastries, a 30-pound bag of Japanese rice, and Georgia-grown peanuts, all in one shopping trip. (Yeah, thought so.)
The produce section greets you first. It took me nearly an hour to get through this piece of the market, and I could have easily killed another hour here. Every corner, every color, every fruit or veg variety you never knew existed—it's mesmerizing.
Take the eggplant aisle: Sicialian, Dominican, Indian, Thai eggplants, and other varieties all lined up next to each other, in various shades of the indigo continuum (and one green). Move over to bananas. You want a banana? Well, there are Thai bananas, red bananas, green bananas, Burro bananas, baby bananas...and "regular" bananas. What even are regular bananas anymore?! Welcome to Bananalandia.
All of the produce labels tell you the variety of the produce, and where it was grown. A Thai guava sold here, for example, wasn't actually grown in Thailand; this one came from Florida. Most of the international produce sold at BHFM is grown in the U.S., Mexico, or Central and South America.
And this isn't even the whole market. There's more to BHFM than just the produce section. Much, much more. But that's if you can ever peel yourself away from this produce playground (which was very challenging for me). Anyone who calls this their regular grocery store: I am extremely jealous.
Take a market tour of the produce section with us >>

Style & disability should not be mutually exclusive
If you're disabled people assume your sense of style is no longer important e.g. disability equipment designers & manufacturers think we like 'grey' and purely functional design. They also assume we have no money to pay for premium products.
Smart, trendy places assume we don't want too visit so don't pay attention to disabled access & facilities. If they have them they are rarely shown on their websites
Oct 18 2013: I think Lejan's comments are spot on!
I do not think there is an assumption that a disabled person's style is no longer important. I think style is just not as big a driver as economy of scale, in which cost prices being driven down by the benefits of mass production. In a design intended for a disabled person, the expectation is that customization would be needed in excess of normal tailoring for a fit that satisfies the customer. Consequently, the quantity of units divided by style choices, might not offer as much return on investment for the manufacturers.
There is another expectation that utility and safety would be more important than fashion, from a perception that anything done to somehow give the disabled person some means of overcoming the disability was more important than how it looked. There is also some legal risk concerns, although more in device design than fashion. Perhaps the assumption you mention about an expectation that disabled people have no money (or less to spend on fashion) is a similar mindset, although I am not sure how this assumption bears out statistically. Market folks would know these numbers though, and make decisions based on them.
As Fritzie mentioned, there is a disabilities act dictating requirements for public facilities here in the US. Many lawsuits have evolved this document to its present form. While there is no substitute for equality in providing services, facilities, and goods for the disabled, perhaps the lack of access in the trendy shops in places where laws do not exist to demand such things could be a business opportunity for some smart marketing group. Maybe webcam fly-through, regular showings of merchandise at facilities that do have such facilities by a cooperative group of trendy shops, or advanced on-line personalization services could help the situation. If a reasonable business model could be developed, there may also be government support of the program.
Oct 22 2013: Re economies of scale I believe some disabled people will pay a premium price for a high quality brand/design/fashion item e.g. a crutch or stick or wheelchair. These are common requirements and can be customised at the moment. What I am saying is customisation is not enough, good design with safety is possible and fashion customisation should give more alternatives than there are at the moment.
I suspect lack of choice is nothing to do with scale rather than they can earn money with the status quo! But people will pay a premium otherwise how do quality brands survive and prosper.
Lejan .
Oct 14 2013: Hi Fiona,
- +1
from my experience, this mutual exclusion of disability and style is mainly rooted in the given market 'mechanics' and thereby changes only slowly over time, if ever.
Disabled people usually form small consumer groups which very often are not directly accessible by corporations due to health insurance programs in between, which themselves run their own 'mechanics'.
In short : Reduction to the max to a wannabe commodity
These dominating forces seem to be that strong, that even secondary markets struggle to bridge the given gaps.
I know of just a view small companies who specialized on design-upgrades for disability equipment, and their customers are those who have this extra private budged to afford it.
Designers and engineers are victims of this system and if they had their way, we wouldn't talk here on TED about this issue.
Additionally to this field is, that function got to rule over design, as its main purpose is to ease disabilities to the highest degree possible.
A stylish wheelchair, capable of winning a design award by its looks, would be a failure in purpose if it was tipping over easily.
Incorporating both, purpose and design is no technical problem, its an accounting dictate in our given markets. Unfortunately!
Don Anderson
Oct 10 2013: I can think of many ways to do this and I sure you will to, so I'll just state the goal and let you have the fun in figuring the how.
- +1
Picture an event in which artists and designers come together with people with mobility aid to glam their sticks, pimp their rides, to personalize their WALKers.
Maybe find an Art & Design university to make it a yearly event.Oct 22 2013: I agree with you that some disabled people will pay a premium price for a high quality brand/design/fashion item. I also agree that good design and safety are essential design elements for any item for any customer.
My comment about economies of scale is relative to the manufacturing of items in large enough quantities to cover the cost of setting up the tooling and production runs for manufacture. The cost of this set up is fixed. The more identical units you can make form one set-up, the less the cost of each unit. The less each costs, the more profit you make when you fill an order. The per unit price is generally set by negotiations with the retail customer in advance.
So now the marketing people have to estimate what the think they can sell in the way of different price levels in order to determine what is ordered. This is a bit of a risk, but usually it is based on past experiences with sales and predictions on how much more or less will be in demand.
Ok, with high end items for a targeting a particular disability customer group, first you need to estimate how many people have the disability which might make them a potential customer. This number would usually be low. Then, from this group, you have to decide how many of them would be willing to pay the premium price. You may also need to figure how many at one size, and then style choices. So, if you have 1000 potential customers, 25% are willing to pay a premium price, 25% are medium (S,M,L,XL), and then you have 4 color options, your market share for an identical unit is 1000*.25*.25*.25= 15 units. So, their profit is based on being able to recoup costs on 15 similar units. The number gets small quickly.
Mfg's are about profit, so such a small market share will probably not attract them, even if the price per unit is high. Mfg's supply retail shops, high or low end.
A custom tailor, or similar equivalent for other items, might be more attracted to this market.Oct 14 2013: I agree this is the case but in the UK and via our efforts at Blue Badge Style, we are aiming to talk to manufacturers, designers and consumers. In he Uk 'low end care needs' are now being pushed down to the end user rather than the NHS or local Authorities so the end user market is definitely growing and more demanding re 'style'.Oct 8 2013: Okay, what would I know But i hope you can improvise and overcome.
Oct 8 2013: I will but it's not so easy for others!
Oct 9 2013: True but
I am always curious More than that I wish you and everyone the best.Oct 10 2013: I'm skilled in the art of the work around and have an artistic touch, be sadly many do not. (in fact it is frustrating how many people believe people with disability are "only" good for creating folk art, one has nothing to do with the other)
I hope people will start dismissing to preconceived ideas of the disabled, and to be blunt improvising does get old.
George, thank you for your curiosity and best wishes. it is so much easier to express and share desires with people have a open door to new views of this world.
Oct 10 2013: Don, you are right, of course, that creativity and physical disability have nothing to do with each other. Have you truly run into an assumption to the contrary?
Are you familiar with this: http://bancroft.berkeley.edu/ROHO/projects/artistsdis/
Oct 10 2013: This is a little tricky to describe, but I'll give a try.
My disability goes unnoticed most of the time, so somewhat uniquely I can see how people interactions with me chance when they learn of my disability. And I have to prove I'm still the same person and capable of doing my job, being sociable and charitable, with no desire to not be productive and be on charity. But when it comes to art, I have yet to see an assumption that I can't do art.
I think in the work place issue come from people being uncomfortable around the handicap, unfair costly on the health care system, or with unemployment the way it is I have gotten the feeling that the disable are taking away jobs form the able body.
Not any different than what Chinese, Irish, women, and Mexican Americans have gone throw.
Consider this "equal pay for equal work" excludes the handicap.
So I wish people would accept disabled doctors, accountants, managers, etc. as easily as they do disabled artist.
I'm sure I gave a good answer, I hope I did.
P.S. thanks for the link, that is a interesting site.Oct 10 2013: Okay, I misunderstood. I thought you had said above that people do not easily accept the disabled artist.
I can see that you would have unique insight into people's response to disability in your workplaces.I cannot remember ever hearing anyone question a disabled person's ability to do a job the person was in. The only possible exceptions were a couple of people who were absent perhaps 50% of days (in which case the record of absences rather than the cause drew concerns about reliability) and the sharing of the need to speak loudly and clearly because of a colleague's hearing impairment. Otherwise never.Oct 11 2013: Thank you I eventually learn more.Oct 7 2013: unfortunately in the UK unless it's a brand new building or a government building accessibility is often not implemented due to a 'reasonable' clause in the law. What is or isn't reasonable has to go to court for jurisdiction.Oct 7 2013: yes but when we've asked for creative/design help they don't believe there's a market!!Oct 7 2013: I am Numb! Glad Fiona You brought up this topic. I see this as an opportunity for the creative people to design and construct. You have raised a Valid Concern.Oct 7 2013: Fiona, I think you will love this TED-talk and product.
here is the stylish version of the chair http://continuuminnovation.com/work/leveraged-freedom-chair/
Oct 7 2013: we did feature this on site but not the 'stylish' one so will add. THanks for your help.Oct 7 2013: I have Style & a disability and I know where you are come from.
I currently need no mobility aid, but I did need a cane for a time, and the medical aid equipment was downright ugly.
I ended up getting a stylish adjustable Trekking-pole; the only other stylish option was to get a poorly functioning antique cane.
So thank you for Blue Badge Style, it looks like a great company.
I know many who decorate their mobility aid (cane, walker, wheelchair), but to me they have a folk art look and personally that is not my style.
When it comes to a lot of smart, trendy places they assume all their customers live in NY or LA and have a models build. So saying they pay no attention to the disabled is no surprise.
P.S. Fiona, I have MS also, since 2002. (Ampyra has tamed my MonSter, I highly suggest giving it a try)

Glad you agree. Keep watching Blue badge Style's website we're hoping to expand to the US so we can start harrassing hospitality venues there!!
Did you see the sticks/crutches on our site? They're the best of a bad bunchOct 7 2013: Here for your interest is the major law in the United States requiring that places of public accommodation, including restaurants, stores, theaters, public buildings, swimming pools and saunas, and so forth provide ready access to people with disabilities. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americans_with_Disabilities_Act_of_1990#Title_III.E2.80.94Public_accommodations_.28and_commercial_facilities.29
Oct 7 2013: Hi, We were aware of this and there is nothing in the UK that makes venues adhere to the law unless there's a class action!! Even so to refer to law all the time makes us feel like a legal compliance issue rather than a valued and wanted customer??!
Oct 7 2013: As you can see from the link, the law has been in place for twenty-five years, so by now everyone just uses the access that is convenient for them, I think, without any thought to the law that a quarter of a century ago made nearly everything accessible.
It is a real shock here to come across a venue that is not accessible, which I noticed a few months ago in visiting an historic building without accommodation to a second floor ballroom.Oct 6 2013: R E A L L Y

Oct 7 2013: yes really. Have you seen any stylish disability equipment?? Re Heather Mills she has style (of a kind) but she's one out of 11.2m in the UK. We do exist but the hospitality & equipment market have not caught up with us so we have to improvise or stay at home!!

"You have to give credit to Liberty. They were on a mission tonight after we went to their place last year and beat them," said head coach Lindsey Devine. "We did some good things out there tonight at times, but we also showed our weaknesses. We need to learn from those weaknesses and get things turned around."
The Bucs were led by freshman Desiree Dyck (
Whitney Cogburn (
"It is all about conference, but you can still learn from games like tonight," Devine said. "At one point we had a very young lineup out on the court, and with experience it will get better. We are just going to keep on fighting and go from there."
With the loss the Bucs fall to 14-11 overall and 5-2 in conference play. The Bucs will travel to Boone, N. C. Wednesday at 7 p.m. to take on Appalachian State in their final non-conference road game of the season.
