What Is the Growth Plate?
The growth plate, also known as the epiphyseal plate or physis, is the area of growing tissue near the ends of the long bones in children and adolescents. Each long bone has at least two growth plates: one at each end. The growth plate determines the future length and shape of the mature bone. When growth is complete—sometime during adolescence—the growth plates close and are replaced by solid bone.
Because the growth plates are the weakest areas of the growing skeleton—even weaker than the nearby ligaments and tendons that connect bones to other bones and muscles—they are vulnerable to injury. Injuries to the growth plate are called fractures.
Who Gets Growth Plate Injuries?
Growth plate injuries can occur in growing children and adolescents. In a child, a serious injury to a joint is more likely to damage a growth plate than the ligaments that stabilize the joint. Trauma that would cause a sprain in an adult might cause a growth plate fracture in a child.
Growth plate fractures occur twice as often in boys as in girls, because girls' bodies mature at an earlier age than boys. As a result, their bones finish growing sooner, and their growth plates are replaced by stronger, solid bone.
Growth plate injuries often occur in competitive sports such as football, basketball, or gymnastics, or as a result of recreational activities such as biking, sledding, skiing, or skateboarding.
Fractures can result from a single traumatic event, such as a fall or automobile accident, or from chronic stress and overuse. Most growth plate fractures occur in the long bones of the fingers (phalanges) and the outer bone of the forearm (radius). They are also common in the lower bones of the leg (the tibia and fibula).
What Causes Growth Plate Injuries?
Growth plate injuries can be caused by an event such as a fall or blow to the limb, or they can result from overuse. For example, a gymnast who practices for hours on the uneven bars, a long-distance runner, and a baseball pitcher perfecting his curve ball can all have growth plate injuries.
Although many growth plate injuries are caused by accidents that occur during play or athletic activity, growth plates are also susceptible to other disorders, such as bone infection, that can alter their normal growth and development. Other possible causes of growth plate injuries include the following:
- Child abuse. Fractures are common among physically abused children, and growth plate injuries are prevalent because the growth plate is the weakest part of the bone.
- Injury from extreme cold (for example, frostbite). Exposure to extreme cold can damage the growth plate in children and result in short, stubby fingers or premature degenerative arthritis (breakdown of the joint cartilage).
- Radiation and medications. Research has suggested that chemotherapy given for childhood cancers may negatively affect bone growth. Prolonged use of steroids for inflammatory conditions such as juvenile idiopathic arthritis can also harm bone growth.
- Neurological disorders. Children with certain neurological disorders that result in sensory deficit or muscular imbalance are prone to growth plate fractures, especially at the ankle and knee. Children who are born with insensitivity to pain can have similar types of injuries.
- Genetics. The growth plates are where many inherited disorders that affect the musculoskeletal system appear. Scientists are beginning to understand the genes and gene mutations involved in skeletal formation, growth, and development. This new information is raising hopes for improving treatment for children who are born with poorly formed or improperly functioning growth plates.
- Metabolic disease. Disease states such as kidney failure and hormone disorders can affect the growth plates and their function. The bone growth of children with long-term conditions of this kind may be negatively affected.
How Are Growth Plate Fractures Diagnosed?
A child who has persistent pain, or pain that affects athletic performance or the ability to move and put pressure on a limb, should never be allowed or expected to "work through the pain." Whether an injury is acute or due to overuse, it should be evaluated by a doctor, because some injuries, if left untreated, can cause permanent damage and interfere with proper growth of the involved limb.
The doctor will begin the diagnostic process by asking about the injury and how it occurred and by examining the child. The doctor will then use x rays to determine if there is a fracture, and if so, the type of fracture. Often the doctor will x ray not only the injured limb but the opposite limb as well. Because growth plates have not yet hardened into solid bone, neither the structures themselves nor injuries to them show up on x rays. Instead, growth plates appear as gaps between the shaft of a long bone, called the metaphysis, and the end of the bone, called the epiphysis. By comparing x rays of the injured limb to those of the noninjured limb, doctors can look for differences that indicate an injury.
Very often the x ray is negative, because the growth plate line is already there, and the fracture is undisplaced (the two ends of the broken bone are not separated). The doctor can still diagnose a growth plate fracture on clinical grounds because of tenderness of the plate. Children do get ligament strains if their growth plates are open, and they often have undisplaced growth plate fractures.
Other tests doctors may use to diagnose a growth plate injury include magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), and ultrasound.
Because these tests enable doctors to see the growth plate and areas of other soft tissue, they can be useful not only in detecting the presence of an injury, but also in determining the type and extent of the injury.
What Are the Different Types of Growth Plate Injuries?
Since the 1960s, the Salter-Harris classification, which divides most growth plate fractures into five categories based on the type of damage, has been the standard. The categories are as follows:
Type I: Fracture Through the Growth Plate
The epiphysis is completely separated from the end of the bone or the metaphysis, through the deep layer of the growth plate. The growth plate remains attached to the epiphysis. The doctor has to put the fracture back into place if it is significantly displaced. Type I injuries generally require a cast to protect the plate as it heals. Unless there is damage to the blood supply to the growth plate, the likelihood that the bone will grow normally is excellent.
Type II: Fracture Through the Growth Plate and Metaphysis
This is the most common type of growth plate fracture. It runs through the growth plate and the metaphysis, but the epiphysis is not involved in the injury. Like type I fractures, type II fractures may need to be put back into place and immobilized. However, the growth plate fracture heals a great deal, especially in younger children. If it is not too displaced, the doctor may not need to put it back into position. In this case, it will strengthen with time.
Type III: Fracture Through Growth Plate and Epiphysis
This fracture occurs only rarely, usually at the lower end of the tibia, one of the long bones of the lower leg. It happens when a fracture runs completely through the epiphysis and separates part of the epiphysis and growth plate from the metaphysis. Surgery is sometimes necessary to restore the joint surface to normal. The outlook or prognosis for growth is good if the blood supply to the separated portion of the epiphysis is still intact and if the joint surface heals in a normal position.
Type IV: Fracture Through Growth Plate, Metaphysis, and Epiphysis
This fracture runs through the epiphysis, across the growth plate, and into the metaphysis. Surgery is frequently needed to restore the joint surface to normal and to perfectly align the growth plate. Unless perfect alignment is achieved and maintained during healing, prognosis for growth is poor, and angulation (bending) of the bone may occur. This injury occurs most commonly at the end of the humerus (the upper arm bone) near the elbow.
Type V: Compression Fracture Through Growth Plate
This uncommon injury occurs when the end of the bone is crushed and the growth plate is compressed. It is most likely to occur at the knee or ankle. Prognosis is poor, since premature stunting of growth is almost inevitable.
A newer classification, called the Peterson classification, adds a type VI fracture, in which a portion of the epiphysis, growth plate, and metaphysis is missing. This usually occurs with open wounds or compound fractures, and often involves lawnmowers, farm machinery, snowmobiles, or gunshot wounds. All type VI fractures require surgery, and most will require later reconstructive or corrective surgery. Bone growth is almost always stunted.
What Kind of Doctor Treats Growth Plate Injuries?
For all but the simplest injuries, your child's doctor will probably refer him or her to an orthopaedic surgeon (a doctor who specializes in bone and joint problems in children and adults) for treatment. Some problems may require the services of a pediatric orthopaedic surgeon, who specializes in injuries and musculoskeletal disorders in children.
How Are Growth Plate Injuries Treated?
Treatment for growth plate injuries depends on the type of injury. In all cases, treatment should be started as soon as possible after injury and will generally involve a mix of the following:
The affected limb is often put in a cast or splint, and the child is told to limit any activity that puts pressure on the injured area.
Manipulation or Surgery
If the fracture is displaced (meaning the ends of the injured bones no longer meet as they should), the doctor will have to put the bones or joints back in their correct positions, either by using his or her hands (called manipulation) or by performing surgery. Sometimes the doctor needs to fix the break and hold the growth plate in place with screws or wire. After the procedure, the bone will be set in place (immobilized) so it can heal without moving. This is usually done with a cast that encloses the injured growth plate and the joints on both sides of it. The cast is left in place until the injury heals, which can take anywhere from a few weeks to 2 or more months for serious injuries. The need for manipulation or surgery depends on the location and extent of the injury, its effect on nearby nerves and blood vessels, and the child's age.
Strengthening and Range-of-Motion Exercises
These are exercises designed to strengthen the muscles that support the injured area of the bone and to improve or maintain the joint's ability to move in the way that it should. Your child's doctor may recommend these after the fracture has healed. A physical therapist can work with your child and his or her doctor to design an appropriate exercise plan. Long-term followup is usually necessary to monitor the child's recuperation and growth.
Will the Affected Limb of a Child With a Growth Plate Injury Still Grow?
Most growth plate fractures heal without any lasting effect. Whether an arrest of growth occurs depends on the treatment provided, and the following factors, in descending order of importance:
- Severity of the injury. If the injury causes the blood supply to the epiphysis to be cut off, growth can be stunted. If the growth plate is shifted, shattered, or crushed, the growth plate may close prematurely, forming a bony bridge or "bar." The risk of growth arrest is higher in this setting. An open injury in which the skin is broken carries the risk of infection, which could destroy the growth plate.
- Age of the child. In a younger child, the bones have a great deal of growing to do; therefore, growth arrest can be more serious, and closer surveillance is needed. It is also true, however, that younger bones have a greater ability to heal.
- Which growth plate is injured. Some growth plates, such as those in the region of the knee, are more involved in extensive bone growth than others.
- Type of fracture. Of the six fracture types described earlier, types IV, V, and VI are the most serious.
The most frequent complication of a growth plate fracture is premature arrest of bone growth. The affected bone grows less than it would have without the injury, and the resulting limb could be shorter than the opposite, uninjured limb. If only part of the growth plate is injured, growth may be lopsided and the limb may become crooked.
Growth plate injuries at the knee have the greatest risk of complications. Nerve and blood vessel damage occurs most frequently there. Injuries to the knee have a much higher incidence of premature growth arrest and crooked growth.
What Research Is Being Conducted on Growth Plate Injuries?
Researchers supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) continue to seek better ways to diagnose and treat growth plate injuries and to improve patient outcomes. Examples of such work include:
- Investigating the factors that regulate growth plate chondrocytes. These cells are essential to growth at the ends of the bones.
- Exploring the molecular mechanisms regulating growth plate development and the mechanisms responsible for growth.
- Identifying strategies for protecting the growth plate during radiation treatment.
- Identifying predictors for premature closure of the growth plate following fractures. By predicting the injuries most likely to result in arrested growth, doctors could opt to treat them differently and more aggressively.
- Development of methods to regenerate musculoskeletal tissue by using principles of tissue engineering.

Key Words
Computed (or computerized) tomography (CT) scan. An imaging technique that provides doctors with a threedimensional picture of the bone. It also shows "slices" of the bone, making the picture much clearer than x rays.
Displaced fracture. A fracture in which the two ends of the broken bone are separated from one another.
Epiphyseal plate. The area of developing tissue near the end of the long bones in children and adolescents. It is also called the physis or growth plate.
Epiphysis. The end of a long bone, which is initially separated by cartilage from the shaft of the bone and develops separately. It eventually fuses with the shaft (diaphysis) of the bone to form a complete bone.
Femur. The thigh bone.
Fibula. The long, thin outer bone of the lower leg.
Growth plate. The area of developing tissue near the end of the long bones in children and adolescents. Each long bone has at least two growth plates: one at each end.

Gregg Williams may be a step closer to returning to the NFL after being suspended indefinitely for his role in the Saints' bounty program.
Titans coach Mike Munchak has talked with Williams and is interested in adding him to his Tennessee staff, said a person familiar with the situation. The person spoke Sunday to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because the Titans do not discuss personnel moves until they are finalized.
Before the Titans could hire Williams, he must be reinstated by the league. Commissioner Roger Goodell suspended him indefinitely for his role in the New Orleans Saints bounty program, and NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said Sunday the league has not yet addressed Williams' potential reinstatement.
Williams is the only coach or player who has yet to return to the NFL in the wake of the bounty scandal.
Poll: Players don't like Goodell
As the Super Bowl comes to New Orleans, the sentiments here toward Goodell aren't too welcoming after his rulings in the bounty scandal wrecked the Saints' 2012 season.
They're not so great inside locker rooms, either.
In a recent poll of NFL players conducted by USA Today Sports, 61 percent said they disapprove of the job Goodell has done overall, with most focusing on the increased fines of players for dangerous hits on defenseless receivers and quarterbacks and the perception of the commissioner's investigation into the bounty matter.
The poll of 300 players on active rosters or practice squads was conducted from Dec. 19, 2012, to Jan. 12, 2013, with a margin of error of plus-minus 5 percent.
Goodell's 39 percent approval rating came from a number of respondents noting his role in making the game the most popular of U.S. sports, plus those who realize it's a thankless job no matter who is in charge.
"I think it's obvious that I disapprove," said Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison, who has been fined more than $100,000 for hard hits throughout his career and is one of the most outspoken critics of Goodell over the past few years.
"I feel like what he's doing is not totally for the safety of players. ... A lot of stuff they've done, [such as] fining guys crazy amounts of money for helmet-to-helmet hits and all that and saying you're doing this for the safety of players. But yet you want to add extra games to the regular season."

I am trying to get a hold of a Rusty S-Core 7' 0. Is there any one out there who knows where I can get my hands on one? Thanks WB
S core has been shut down for 1-2 years. Some shops still carry them. I was at a shop in jersey this weekend and they had them on clearance, so apparently they are still in some shops. Are you looking for a new or used one?
It doesnt matter. I want one in good condition. I have missed two on craigs list by a day one for $350 the other for $400. Both brand new one never riden. Do you have the name of that shop? Was it a Rusty? Any info would be great. Thanks WB
i was at brave new world in pt pleasant. not sure what ones they had, but they had about 10 on clearance, I think $100 off original.
I just noticed your name had bjj in it. Do you practice brazilian jiu jitsu? I am live in chincoteague during the summer and am looking for people/place to train. Are there any places around?
Sorry for the delay, yes I do Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. I own a school in Newark DE 302 BJJ. I am a two stripe brown belt under Phil and Rick Migliarese they own Balance Studios in Philly. They are both Black Belts under Relson Gracie. Where do you train? I have tried before to find out if anyone trains and some jack off told me this was not a Karate forum. Reguardless I have a place on 40th st in OC MD any time you can make it down give me a shout I have a buddy getting ready to start a club under me in Bethany maybe we can get together and roll.
Hey Jordan, its this guy who stops in and trains evry once in a while. I will give you his info hit my email up at email@example.com. I am not sure where he is in his process. He is a Judo guy who wanted to open a non profit club in Bethany. He is a cool guy his Jits is not that great but it would be a place to roll. I know you guys are going through some cahnges and you are welcome to stop by Newark and train any time. Glad to see some other BJJ guys posting on this forum. What break do you surf?
I am currently training at penn state university and am a white belt with a few months experience...so i am pretty new but love the sport (almost as much as surfing). I am going to be in chincoteague VA for the summer, OC MD may be a bit far for me (1 hour). Although, I could probably make it there a few times. Is there a website/schedule for the school there?
Wow you are a brown belt! My instructor is a brown as well under de la riva. I am still hoping to get a lonely stripe on my white belt:)
At this point, I would just love to be able to roll during the summer just to keep up what I have learned so I dont lose it by september when I start school again.
Yeah idk whats happening with WJJ right now. Lately i have been driving to Brandywine with Jeff, Mecca and alot of the other guys just to get some mat time. I went up to the main school in Philly 2 weeks ago but that is a hike for me now that im home for the summer and not at school up north. I usually bodyboard in lower Delaware but go down to OC occasionally. My email is email@example.com, if you ever want someone to roll with or your guys gets some mats in bethany give me and email, I know I could learn alot from you.

Reynolds goes long to end his skid
Angels right-hander scatters two hits over eight innings
By Ashley Marshall / Special to MLB.com | June 10, 2013 9:51 PM ET
Dan Reynolds came into Monday's start struggling for form and looking for answers. For the first time in a long time, the Angels pitching prospect found both.
Reynolds allowed two hits and a pair of walks while tying a career best with seven strikeouts over a season-high eight innings in the Class A Advanced Inland Empire 66ers' 3-0 win over the visiting Stockton Ports.
"It's frustrating going out there, feeling confident and having conviction with every pitch and then then getting hit," Reynolds said. "But tonight feels good. It gets the monkey off my back because it has been a bit of a struggle."
Reynolds set the side down in order in the first inning and he worked around two free passes in the second. B.A. Vollmuth picked up the first hit of the night off him with a two-out double to center field in the top of the fourth, but Reynolds retired 13 of the final 14 batters he faced.
Selected by the Angels in the sixth round of the 2009 Draft out of Durango High School in Nevada, Reynolds (5-7) lowered his ERA to 5.67.
"I was working on a new changeup grip and it felt comfortable today," Reynolds said. "I was able to use it in some good aggressive counts that were favorable to hitters. I threw my slider any time, 3-2, 1-0, I had pretty good command of my fastball and I had great defense behind me."
The variation on the offspeed pitch might seem minor, but he has already found success with it despite its recent introduction in side sessions and bullpens over the weekend. Instead of holding it like a traditional four-seam circle changeup with the horseshoe facing the left side, he rotates the ball so the seams face left.
"The one I was using wasn't too effective," he said. "I've had a mediocre changeup to say the least and ... it has been a major issue this year. I had no confidence in it and the hitters would X out that pitch and just sit on my fastball and tee off on it.
"Hitters would spin on [the changeup], so I flipped the ball over. I have more confidence in this now and I can throw it without having any doubts. It has a bit of a run and I am able to throw it for strikes."
The 22-year-old entered Monday's start with a 4-7 record and a 6.44 ERA. He had lost each of his past five starts, including a game in High Desert on May 15 when he gave up 10 runs over five innings and his most recent outing on the road in Rancho Cucamonga where he yielded eight runs in 5 1/3 innings.
Reynolds has only pitched more than six innings once in 11 starts this year, and he had surrendered at least two runs in every game before Monday's gem.
He had uncorked more wild pitches (seven) and balked more times (five) than he had induced double-play balls (four) and his opponents were hitting a robust .276 when he was on the mound. He also hit three batters and allowed at least one homer in six of his first seven appearances.
Reynolds appeared in four games for Rookie-level Orem in 2010 after missing the 2009 season to injury. He was then limited to 20 Pioneer League games with the Owlz in 2011 after serving a 50-game suspension for violating the Minor League Drug Prevention and Treatment Program a second time.
Between two levels last year, Reynolds was 2-6 with a 3.89 ERA and 60 strikeouts over 85 2/3 innings.
On Monday, Reynolds fell three out shy of matching the longest he had pitched into a game. He also fell three short of his first complete-game shutout.
Reynolds is credited for one complete game in his career, achieved in a 3-2 loss to Class A Quad Cities last June 29 in which he gave up three runs over 4 1/3 innings before the game was halted once the go-ahead run came home to score with one out in the bottom of the fifth.
"I tried to get them to let me go out for the ninth inning, but they said I had reached my limit," Reynolds said. "I would still say this is my best start as a professional."

CYPRESS (CNS) - A 25-year-old parolee was behind bars today on charges of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old girl with whom the defendant allegedly had a relationship over the past few months.
Jerry Laron Lewis, who was was being held without bail, was arrested Saturday when Cypress police were conducting a parole compliance check on the defendant at the Royal Inn, 6112 Lincoln Ave., Cypress police Officer Michael Wintersole said.
When police arrived at the motel, they found Lewis with a 15-year-old girl in her underwear, Wintersole said. She told police she had been having a ``consensual'' sexual relationship with the defendant for the past three months, Wintersole said.
Lewis, who is scheduled to be arraigned Sept. 26, is charged with unlawful sexual intercourse, sexual penetration with a foreign object of a victim younger than 16, oral copulation of a victim younger than 18 years old, possession and control of child pornography and possession of a controlled substance, according to court records.
Police suspect there may be more victims, Wintersole said. Anyone with information was asked to call detectives at (714) 229-6636.

Oh do you have one too? I've got a bunch of them....made out of wood, paper, metal; you name it. Got my first one in my stocking for Christmas when I was a kid. They're really cool and very collectable. In fact, I've seen antique ones on "Antiques Roadshow" that were valued in the thousands of dollars.

Of the three billion people who live in urban settings, an estimated one billion live in slums.
An estimated 130 000 premature deaths and 50–70 million incidents of respiratory illness occur each year due to episodes of urban air pollution in developing countries, half of them in East Asia.
An estimated 150 000 children are living and working on the streets in China.
In Nairobi, where 60% of the city's population lives in slums, child mortality in the slums is 2.5 times greater than in other areas of the city.
In spite of nightmarish congestion, motor vehicle use in developing cities is soaring. In 1980, the third world accounted for only 18% of global vehicle ownership; by 2020 about half of the world's projected 1.3 billion cars, trucks and buses will clog the streets and alleys of poorer countries.
The World Health Organization considers traffic to be one of the worst health hazards facing the urban poor, and predicts that road accidents by 2020 will be the third leading cause of death.
Breathing Mumbai's air is the equivalent of smoking two-and-one-half packs of cigarettes per day.
In Kumasi, Ghana, a country which privatized public toilets in the 1990s, private toilet use once a day for a family costs 10% of the basic wage.
In Quito, Ecuador, infant mortality is 30 times higher in the slums than in wealthier neighborhoods.
In Kenyan slums such as Mathare it costs US6c for every visit to a privatized toilet: this is too expensive for most poor people, who prefer to defecate in the open and spend their money on water or food.

Trout falls homer short of cycle in rout
Angels' top prospect gets on base five times, scores three runs
By David Heck / Special to MLB.com | April 24, 2012 10:11 PM ET
MLB.com's No. 3 prospect went 3-for-4 with two walks, three runs scored and two RBIs on Tuesday, helping the Triple-A Salt Lake Bees to a 16-6 rout of the Tucson Padres.
Trout, who was pulled from a game on Sunday after being hit by a pitch, sat on Monday before getting back in the lineup Tuesday. He showed no ill effects from being hit, as he raised his batting average to .419 and finished a homer away from the cycle.
The 20-year-old outfielder walked in two of his first three plate appearances of the game and was driven in by Alexi Amarista both times -- first on a single and then on a triple. In between, he sent a sacrifice fly to right field that scored Robinzon Diaz.
Trout made his only out of the contest in the fifth when he flied out to right field, but he followed that up with a two-out RBI single in the sixth. He saved his two extra-base hits for his final two at-bats, tripling in the eighth -- and again coming home courtesy of an Amarista sacrifice fly -- and then capping his day with a double in the ninth.
The 25th overall pick in the 2009 Draft, Trout has hit safely in 18 of his 19 games at Triple-A. Tuesday's game marked his ninth multi-hit performance, his fourth with three base knocks. Overall, he has collected 31 hits -- 10 for extra bases -- along with 21 runs and 13 RBIs.
Amarista finished the day with three RBIs and two runs scored, while four other players -- Diaz, Ryan Langerhans, Doug Deeds and Ed Lucas -- knocked in two runs apiece. All nine players in the Bees' starting lineup recorded a hit in the game, with eight of them plating at least one run.
Salt Lake's 16 runs tie a season high, which the team set in a 16-1 drubbing of Tucson on Sunday.
Jason Berg (1-1) earned the win by yielding just one hit over 2 1/3 scoreless innings of relief.
Tucson starter Matt Palmer (1-2) was only able to record one out before leaving the game, surrendering seven runs on five hits and three walks.

— After more than 30 years as a food critic, all it took was one review of the local Olive Garden to turn Marilyn Hagerty into an online celebrity.
An earnest assessment of the new chain restaurant in town by the 85-year-old reviewer at the Grand Forks (N.D.) Herald is the latest viral sensation. But Hagerty fails to see what all the fuss is about.
A 30-year veteran at The Grand Forks Herald, Hagerty reviewed the new local eatery March 7 in her regular Eatbeat column. Calling it "impressive,'' she described the Olive Garden's "Tuscan farmhouse style'' and ordered the chicken alfredo.
Victory over snark
Her column sent food snobs into a frenzy. It has received nearly 700,000 pageviews after making its way around the Internet, generating headlines like Fark.com's "Old Broad Goes Viral.''
It also generated support against the backlash. Celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain tweeted to his nearly 800,000 followers: "Very much enjoying watching Internet sensation Marilyn Hagerty triumph over the snarkologists (myself included).''
Hagerty had no idea at first that her review had gone viral. "I didn't really know what that meant,'' she told NBC's Kevin Tibbles as the two dined at the now-famous Grand Forks Olive Garden. "Then the phone calls started. But I had to go to bridge club at 1 o'clock.''
During their meal, Hagerty showed Tibbles her surreptitious style of taking notes while dining and indicated that she occasionally swipes a menu while doing a review.
"You do what you have to do,'' she said.
In addition to the interview with Tibbles on Tuesday, "Marilyn Mania" also included a short segment Monday night on CNN's "Piers Morgan Tonight.'' Hagerty was interviewed from her home by actress Jane Lynch, filling in for the vacationing Morgan.
"It wasn't much fun,'' Hagerty told The Grand Forks Herald about the interview with Lynch. "I felt really good about the other (NBC) interview.''
As for bloggers having a field day with her review, it barely merited a shrug from Hagerty.
"Sounds like dirty words,'' she said about blogging. "Sounds like you're talking bad. We all have different ideas of what we want to do with our time, don't we? I'd rather be playing bridge or watching a basketball game than doing that.''
Hagerty, who still writes five columns per week, was flown by the Grand Forks Herald to New York City on Tuesday to review a pair of five-star restaurants and, of course, the Olive Garden in Times Square. She is scheduled to have lunch with CNN's Anderson Cooper at the Olive Garden and will be a guest on his show later in the week. The Herald also has fielded requests from several late-night talk shows to have Hagerty as a guest.
"I feel like I've been out for a long night of drinking and don't remember what happened,'' she told The Grand Forks Herald about the whirlwind since her column went viral.

A Lawndale woman and a Hawthorne friend were charged Monday with trying to hire a hit man to kill a man dating the woman's daughter for $6,500, federal prosecutors said.
Adelina Cristobal, 45, and Antonio Quevedo, 34, did not know that the man they met to arrange the deal was actually an undercover police officer, according to an affidavit unsealed in federal court.
"The quick work of ATF and LAPD potentially saved the life of the targeted victim to whom they wished to murder," Steven Bogdalek, special agent in charge of the Los Angeles office of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, said in a statement.
According to the affidavit, an informant called detectives on Jan. 22 to say Quevedo had asked if he or someone he knew would be willing to commit a murder-for-hire for $5,000. Quevedo said he would introduce the informant to Cristobal.
On Thursday, with police watching and recording, Quevedo introduced the informant and an undercover officer posing as the hit man to Cristobal in the parking lot of Mar de Oro on Hawthorne Boulevard in Lawndale. Cristobal's daughter worked at the restaurant.
Cristobal identified the intended victim as the nephew of her husband, Carlos Hernandez.
"Cristobal said that she wanted the victim killed because the victim owed her money, the victim was romantically involved with her daughter, and that the victim had threatened Hernandez, causing Hernandez to have a minor stroke, resulting in hospitalization," the affidavit said.
Cristobal, who provided the victim's description, said Hernandez was going to provide the money for the hit, the document said.
After receiving the details, the undercover officer asked Cristobal, "Do you want it quick or do you want me to do it slow?" and asked if she wanted the victim to know she had ordered the hit. Cristobal said "yes" and asked him to tell the victim, "This is so you remember not to get involved with my daughter and me," the document said.
As they continued to discuss the deal, Cristobal first said she would pay $4,000 but agreed to pay $6,500 following a negotiation. Cristobal told the undercover officer she wanted photographic proof that the killing was done. Cristobal texted her husband and said she needed $500 for a deposit, authorities said.
Following her arrest, Cristobal told investigators she indeed intended to target the victim because of his relationship with her daughter, but claimed she only meant to have him beaten up, the affidavit said.
Quevedo and Cristobal were charged with using interstate commerce equipment - cellphones - for the murder-for-hire plan. They did not enter pleas at their first appearance Monday in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles, authorities said.
If convicted, they could spend 10 years in federal prison.

Policy Brief - Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, Harvard Kennedy School Quarterly Journal: International Security
China's Aircraft Carrier: Chinese Naval Nationalism and Its Implications for the United States
This policy brief is based on "China's Naval Nationalism: Sources, Prospects, and the U.S. Response," which appeared in the Fall 2009 issue of International Security.
- A Boon for Naval Nationalism. China's aircraft carrier program is not a response to the country's growing dependency on imported energy resources. Less than 10 percent of Chinese energy supplies arrive by ship. Rather, the carrier program reflects an increase in Chinese naval nationalism.
- A Nonthreat to U.S. Seapower China's aircraft carrier program does not challenge U.S. maritime security. Its navy lacks the aircraft and force protection technologies for the carrier. In fact, China's carrier program diverts resources from Chinese capabilities that do challenge U.S. maritime security.
- The Right U.S. Response. The most significant development in China's maritime capability is its conventional ballistic and cruise missile programs. An effective U.S. response to Chinese military modernization must avoid a nationalist response to the Chinese carrier and instead focus on a transition to smaller and faster platforms that are less vulnerable to twenty-first-century missile technologies.
In August 2011, after years of planning and development, China launched its first aircraft carrier—the refurbished Soviet carrier Varyag—which China purchased from Ukraine in 1998. This development represents a major benchmark in China's naval modernization program. In addition, there are reports that China is building two aircraft carriers, which means that within five years the People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) could possess a total of three such vessels.
Observers of China's naval modernization program frequently argue that the acquisition of the Varyag reflects China's growing dependency on imported oil and the Chinese leadership's determination to develop naval power to protect sea-lanes and overseas energy resources, a combination that will inevitably lead to conflict between the United States and China. They also argue that the carrier program reflects a great power's naval ambition to challenge U.S. maritime supremacy. Both perspectives are incorrect, because they fail to grasp the underlying drivers of China's carrier program and the limits of the PLAN's ability to challenge the U.S. Navy. These misperceptions could result in misguided policy recommendations and divert attention from more significant Chinese military challenges to U.S. maritime security.
Despite a growing demand, China is not dependent on oil imports, which represent less than 9 percent of China's total energy supply. As a result, the Chinese economy could endure a loss of maritime supplies in a major international conflict.
Seventy percent of Chinese energy comes from domestic coal. An additional 20 percent comes from hydropower, domestic oil and natural gas, nuclear power, wind power, and biomass. Approximately 15 percent of China's imported energy resources are shipped via pipelines and rail from Central Asia and Russia. The remainder is shipped through international sea-lanes. China's growing demand for oil imports is being driven by a huge surge in the number of automobiles in China and a commensurate increase in gas consumption. To minimize the effect of a loss of international oil on the Chinese economy, China's authoritarian government could ration its supply.
China's energy planning calls for long-term reliance on the country's abundant coal reserves and other domestic energy resources. Its energy security policy seeks to avoid dependency on U.S.-controlled sea-lanes and energy competition with the United States.
China's carrier program reflects the Chinese Communist Party leadership's surrender to the forces of nationalism. Popular demand for a carrier has grown over the past decade and has spread from the PLAN to all sectors of urban society. The Chinese people have demanded a carrier as a legitimate symbol of their country's rise and a necessary step toward securing its status as a great power. As Chinese domestic instability has grown, the increasingly insecure Communist Party leadership has used the carrier program to bolster its nationalist legitimacy—just as it used the 2008 Olympics, the 2009 Shanghai Expo, high-speed rail, the "world largest airport," and other high-profile projects for this purpose. China's carrier program reflects a rise in naval nationalism, not a well-considered national security policy.
Most important, China's aircraft carrier program does not challenge U.S. maritime security. The Varyag is a 50,000-ton carrier. Its size places intrinsic limitations on both the number of aircraft that it can carry and their payload. In addition, the Varyag has significant power projection limitations. Equally important, given its lack of domestically produced aircraft, China may have to purchase SU-33s from Russia. Force protection will also be a problem for the PLAN. Not only does it lack aircraft to defend the carrier, but it has yet to develop advanced maritime surveillance capabilities.
Ultimately, China's development of aircraft carriers will enhance U.S. security. These carriers will not be able to threaten U.S. ships, and at the same time, the PLAN's carrier program takes resources away from other PLA programs that could challenge the maritime security of the United States, including its submarine force. Moreover, maintaining force protection for the carrier will require Chinese submarines to join the carrier task force, thus diverting them from tracking U.S. aircraft carriers in the western Pacific.
The challenge for U.S. policymakers is twofold: to avoid exacerbating the threat posed by China's aircraft carrier program and to sustain U.S.-China cooperation and U.S.-maritime security.
First, just as Chinese nationalists view the Varyag as a symbol of China's great power status, Americans associate the U.S. Navy and its aircraft carriers with American global preeminence. They will therefore perceive China's carrier program as a challenge to U.S. maritime dominance. Status is important not only for the Chinese but also for the Americans. An increase in naval nationalism in China may therefore produce a similar increase in the United States and elevate pressure on U.S. policymakers to "contain" China's rise. U.S. nationalist rhetoric, however, will only exacerbate Chinese nationalist hostility toward the United States and create even greater pressure on the Chinese leadership to adopt a nationalist foreign policy. The resulting heightened tension in bilateral relations would not enhance U.S. security, but it would challenge U.S.-China cooperation.
Second, U.S. preoccupation with China's carrier program will divert attention from long-term PLA programs that could pose a more significant challenge to U.S. maritime security. China's carrier program is a nationalist effort, rather than one element in a long-term program to develop a surface fleet designed to contend with the U.S. Navy ship for ship. China's long-term strategy relies on land-based and ship-based missiles to challenge the U.S. surface fleet and its power projection capability. An effective response to this long-term challenge requires the U.S. Navy to transition to platforms that would be less vulnerable to Chinese missiles than a costly 100,000-ton nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. A twenty-first-century U.S. Navy that effectively responds to twenty-first-century military technologies will increasingly rely on small and fast surface ships carrying large numbers of drones and on submarine platforms that China's primitive antisubmarine warfare capability cannot detect.
China's naval modernization program has made significant progress over the past thirty years, and the acquisition of its first aircraft carrier is a significant achievement. Nonetheless, China's carrier does not pose a strategic challenge to the United States, because it lacks the capabilities to challenge U.S. maritime supremacy. Still, the carrier does represent a political challenge to the United States. A U.S. strategic response to China's carrier program requires a dispassionate focus on the PLAN's capabilities, rather than on China's nationalist aspirations and its demand for status. A proportionate U.S. strategic and diplomatic response should avoid escalating threats and unnecessary U.S.-China friction.
China's aircraft carrier program does not challenge the security of the United States, but other aspects of PLA modernization may challenge U.S. maritime capabilities. An effective U.S. security policy should focus on emerging Chinese technologies that matter, rather than on the strategically irrelevant symbols of Chinese naval nationalism.

The Waves
This novel by Virginia Woolf follows the lives of six friends from childhood to old age. The narrative is expressed within each of their thought processes. We learn about them from themselves and from each other. The book is a little short on plot but that doesn't really matter as the six friends have a varied and interesting existence which they share directly with the reader. ...
To the Lighthouse
It's a traditional stream of consciousness novel, this story takes place in twenty-four hours (though during the middle several years pass at the same time as hours), and is quite an indictment of traditional male dominance, though not directly. The book is a whirlwind of symbol and emotion. It's one of my favorite books....

Now that New England Patriots wide receiver Danny Amendola is back, for now anyway, it appears to have negatively impacted WR Kenbrell Thompkins . The rookie only played in 14-of-65 snaps (21.3-percent) while fellow teammate WR Aaron Dobson led the way for receivers by playing 50 snaps.
Fantasy Analysis:
Here's the full breakdown for WRs: Dobson 50, Amendola 39, Collie 33, Edelman 33, and Thompkins 14. The passing game never really got off the ground as Tom Brady only finished with 116 passing yards, marking the third time he's finished with less than 200 yards. Brady only threw for under 200 once in his past two seasons. Given Brady's up-and-down year, injuries coming and going in the receiving corps, none of these guys are all that appealing as a consistent fantasy starter. Each week it seems someone else steps up. Even Rob Gronkowski played fewer snaps than Michael Hoomanawanui. Good luck if you choose to roll with any of them.

Blackout Shades & Blinds
- Best choice for complete darkness
- Blocks 99% of incoming light
- Great for bedrooms and home theaters
- Tight-fitting inside mounts block the most light
- Many styles to darken your space
Blackout shades and blinds block nearly all incoming light with cellular shade, roman shade, roller shade, woven wood, pleated shade, panel track and skylight choices. Although sometimes called Blackout Blinds, a light blocking blackout effect is best achieved with shades, as they block the most light with a tight-fitting inside-mounted opaque shade. Blackout Shades eliminate maximum light seepage with specially woven material or with the addition of a liner to create a darker space than the subtler Room Darkening Shades. Custom blackout blinds provide the darkest blackout experience available.

"Excellent Black-Out Panels"

I have had drapes from other sites but none can compare to Blindsgalore. I wanted to try custom made curtains but knew the expense would be outrageous for a company to come to your home. After ordering samples I decided to take the plunge. They are absolutely gorgeous! We went with the Bali since I needed a color that I only saw in the Bali. Love the grommets.

I have to say it's been a surprise to hear so consistently about the end of American evangelicalism. My own experience with the tradition goes back a long ways to my marginal participation in Young Life (mostly because of friends and girls) and then on and off in various groups in college. But the break was solidified the night I attended a Josh McDowell revival at my university; midway through I walked out. I couldn't take the idea that anyone could seriously try to "prove" faith by trying to pr … [Read more...]

Kaskade announces 'Atmosphere' tour
Listen to Kaskade on iHeartRadio
Kaskade is getting ready to release his next single "Atmostphere" on June 10th, and as if fans weren't excited enough for some new music from Ryan Raddon, he has announced a new tour!
The tour is small, only stopping in four cities: New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Miami. But as stated on the tour's official website - "Big Rooms, Small Tour." Could the "big rooms" mean large arena-sized shows? Kaskade is no stranger to large arenas. He rocked the Staples Center in Los Angeles on his Freaks of Nature tour, and perhaps he is making a return with this newly announced four-city trek.
No official word yet has been mentioned regarding the venues within each city or what dates the shows fall under, however a limited number pre-sale tickets go on sale at 12 p.m. local venue time. General admission tickets will be on sale a few days later on June 7th.

In the tenth century the Archangel Gabriel came in monastic clothes to a monk who was keeping vigil before this icon When the monk began to sing "More honorable than the Cherubim, and beyond compare more glorious than the Seraphim, who without corruption gavest birth to God the word, the very Theotokos, thee do we magnify," the angel told him that the angelic choirs preface this with "It is truly meet and right to bless thee, Theotokos, ever-blessed all-pure Mother of our God."
Overwhelmed by the beauty of the song, the monk asked his visitor to write it down, which he did--inscribing it on a stone as if it were soft wax--then disappeared. It soon became the custom to sing this Angelic hymn at the most solemn and joyous moment of every liturgy, just after the Consecration. The scroll which Jesus and his Mother are holding is the verse Jesus read in the synagogue in Nazareth after His forty days in the wilderness (Luke 4:16): "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me...." (Isaiah 61:1-2)

Between 2008 and 2012, institutions and individuals in Illinois received $36 million from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Illinois Humanities Council for projects that explore the human endeavor and preserve our cultural heritage.
Below are some examples.
- The Papers of Abraham Lincoln are being digitized by the Illinois Historic Preservation Society with $370,000 in grants to make them freely accessible online by 2015.
- The one-hundredth anniversary of architect and urban planner Daniel Burnham's 1909 Plan of Chicago was the reason for $299,000 in grants to produce a 60-minute television documentary, an online and panel exhibition, and the Virtual Burnham Initiative—a multimedia online resource that transformed a selection of flat images from the 1909 Plan of Chicago into 3–D models accessible through the website.
- With the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the ancient Buddhist Cave Temples of Xiantangshan were plundered. In 2010, after a painstaking global search to find and scan these far-flung works of art, the temples' contents were digitally reunited and made viewable in situ at the Smart Museum of the University of Chicago, assisted by grants totaling $310,000.
- It is known that in his earlier days Abraham Lincoln wrote vitriolic articles under the cover of anonymity, but now, with the support of a $57,000 grant, the Abraham Lincoln Library Foundation is working to develop a systematic linguistic test to confirm which ones were indeed authored by the future president.
- Between 2010 and 2012, thirty libraries across the state received $2,500 each to hold reading, viewing, and discussion programs about the NEH-supported documentary and biography Louisa May Alcott: The Woman Behind Little Women.
- With a $65,000 grant, the Society of Architectural Historians in Chicago plans to developed an image archive, an online journal, and an online encyclopedia, all devoted to peer-reviewed work on American architectural history.
- Two hundred thousand pages of historic newspapers, such as the Chicago Eagle and the Day Book, from 1860 to 1922 are being digitized at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, with the support of $1 million in grants since 2009. This work is part of Chronicling America, an NEH collaboration with the Library of Congress.
- In recent summers, grants totaling $760,000 have brought more than 400 schoolteachers to Springfield for weeklong workshops titled "Abraham Lincoln and the Forging of Modern America."
- The Odyssey Project offers a college-level course in the humanities to individuals living at or near the poverty line. A program of the Illinois Humanities Council, it draws faculty from the University of Chicago and other area colleges.
- Illinois's Meaning of Service program works with thousands of young people to help them understand the nature and rewards of volunteerism. The program is active in eight AmeriCorps sites in Illinois and is expanding to seven more states.

WATCH: Justin Bieber Detained At LAX For Almost Four Hours
Justin Bieber is free to roam again after nearly four hours of questioning at at Los Angeles International Airport Thursday. The 20-year-old pop star was returning to the U.S. after spending the past week in Japan with friends and family when he was detained at LAX.
"E! News" says U.S. Customs held him inside the terminal when his plane landed as scheduled at 1 p.m., although it's unclear why. He reportedly emerged from the airport after 6:00 p.m., but said nothing as paparazzi followed him to the bodyguards who had been waiting outside for hours.
The singer has racked up a number of charges in recent months, and TMZ notes that it's standard procedure for a person with so many open criminal cases to be held before re-entering the country. The "Los Angeles Times" also adds that the hold-up at LAX isn't considered a formal detention or arrest

Muy limpio, comodo y bonito apartamento. Bien situado para una pequeña estancia en Dublin. Y Diane muy atenta y facilitando en todo momemto nuestra estancia.
Appartement très propre mais sentant le tabac à notre arrivée (difficile à aérer ) et bien situé dans Dublin.
Muy céntrico, y un apartamento muy agradable. Fue una experiencia que nos gustaría repetir, ya que te sientes como un local más que turista.
Das Apartment sah aus wie auf den Fotos. Sehr hübsch. Nur leider war es wirklich laut, da es an einer Hauptstraße im Erdgeschoss war und zudem nicht sehr ordentlich.Wir hatten das Appartement zu dritt gebucht. Nur leider fehlte das Bettzeug für die dritte Person. Das bekamen wir erst für die zweite Nacht. Zudem war das Fenster im Wohnzimmer gar nicht isoliert, wodurch es dort wirkliche sehr laut war. Im Schlafzimmer war es in Ordnung. Leider gab es auch keine Handtücher, wie es in der Beschreibung war. Der Müll von unsren Vorgängern wär noch da und die Couch war nicht richtig gewischt. Der Check out war unkompliziert und wir durften länger drin bleiben, bis unser Flug am Mittag ging. Fazit: eine unkomplizierte Wohnung für zwei Personen in einer super zentralen Lage, jedoch relativ laut und nicht liebevoll gepflegt.
Had a lovely time with my friends during my stay over St. Patrick's Day. The Apartment is pretty well located just a small walk and you're in the city center. The Apartment was nice, cozy and clean. Definetely a place to stay for a visit in the beautiful city of Dublin!
A beautiful apartment in a very convent position.
The interior is minamilist yet very cozy with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Diane is great and very helpful.
I would highly recommend this lovely apartment minuets from O'Connel street. Just be aware that it can be a little noicey as it is on a busy road but not unbearable and but normal for a busy city. Will return!

PhotoBucket are no longer permitting 3rd party hosting 01/07/17As most of you are now painfully aware, Photobucket (PB) are stopping/have stopped allowing their members to link their accumulated years of photos into forums and the like, which they call 3rd party linking. You can give them a non-refundable $399 a year to allow links, but I doubt that many will be rushing to take them up on that offer. If you've previously paid them for the Pro account, it looks like you've got until your renewal to find another place to host your files, but you too will be subject to this ban unless you fork over a lot of cash. PB seem to be making a concerted move to another type of customer, having been the butt of much displeasure over the years of a constantly worsening user interface, sloth and advertising pop-ups, with the result that they clearly don't give a hoot about the free members anymore. If you don't have web space included in your internet package, you need to start looking for another photo host, but choose carefully, as some may follow suit and ditch their "free" members at some point. The lesson there is keep local backups on your hard drive of everything you upload, so you can walk away if the same thing happens. There's a thread on the subject here, so please use that to curse them, look for solutions or generall grouse about their mental capacity. Not a nice situation for the forum users that hosted all their photos there, and there will now be a host of useless threads that relied heavily on photos from PB, but as there's not much we can do other than petition for a more equitable solution, I suggest we make the best of what we have and move on. One thing is for certain. It won't win them any friends, but they may not care at this point. Mike.

Congressman wants Army input about concealed carry regulations
By GORDON BLOCK | Watertown Daily Times, N.Y. | Published: April 14, 2014
In the aftermath of the deadly shooting at Fort Hood, a push is underway for the military to change its policies to allow soldiers to carry concealed weapons on installations.
Rep. William L. Owens, D-Plattsburgh, said he would consider such a change, but only with the recommendation of the military.
"They have the expertise; they have their eyes on the ground," he said. If the Army and Department of Defense concluded such a change was necessary, he said, he would support it.
Mr. Owens said a larger priority in the aftermath of the shooting would be ensuring military personnel have access to mental health care resources.
"There's no doubt in my mind the person involved was having a mental health crisis of some kind," Mr. Owens said. "Getting them the help they need is something we should be focusing our efforts and our resources on."
The argument for allowing concealed weapons came after the April 2 shooting at Fort Hood, during which gunman Spc. Ivan Lopez killed three soldiers, wounded 16 and then killed himself after being confronted by a military police soldier. Similar proposals to change the rules have been taken up after the 2009 shooting at the Texas installation, along with last year's attack at the Washington Naval Yard.
Among those pushing for the change is Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas, chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, along with Rep. Steve Stockman, R-Texas, who crafted a bill to repeal the policies last year. However, the proposed change has been met with some opposition from top military leadership, including Army Chief of Staff Gen. Ray Odierno.
Policies restricting firearm use have been in place since the early 1990s, effectively restricting possession to personnel in law enforcement or security roles and other limited capacities.
Soldiers and family members living on post may own firearms, provided they register their firearms with the post's Directorate of Emergency Services and their unit leadership after arriving on post. Soldiers must keep their handguns in their unit's arms rooms until they register them with the state and obtain a state handgun license.
Soldiers living in on-post barracks must store all firearms in their unit's arms room, and sign them out for use.
A change in concealed carry rules might have a limited effect at Fort Drum, given the strict gun rules on the books for New York, primarily the New York Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement Act of 2013.
Even if Fort Drum's policy changed, soldiers still could face a lengthy wait to get the appropriate paperwork from the state.
"They're not here long enough to justify it," said Mary A. VanTassel, who owns VanTassel's Gunsmithing on Route 37 in Evans Mills with her husband, Dennis J. VanTassel.
Many of them decide it's not worth the wait; Mrs. VanTassel said she visits the post weekly to collect soldiers' firearms, which she then ships to registered dealers in their home states.

Introduction to Arduino class (Arduino 101) Saturday January 18, 2014
Workshop 88
Saturday, January 18, 2014 from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM (Colombia Standard Time Colombia Time)
Event Details
Workshop 88 is offering our introduction to the Arduino platform at our makerspace in Glen Ellyn. This class is for anyone (member or non-member) who wants to learn how to get started with the arduino microcontroller, regardless of experience with programming or electronics. Class attendees will learn how to configure their arduino programming environment, how to design simple circuits for interfacing with the arduino and how to write simple programs to control the arduino. What is Arduino, you ask? From their home page:
Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. It's intended for artists, designers, hobbyists, and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments.
If you need to get an arduino, please see the Workshop 88 Arduino Store. Sales from that store are fulfilled by amazon.com, and help support Workshop 88. Alternatively, you can order Arduino systems from several places, including Adafruit and Sparkfun. Both companies have lots of tutorials and howtos to get you started with Arduinos. If you're looking for a local source to get Arduinos, try Trossen Robotics.
What you'll get from this class: If you choose the registration + materials option, we will have an arduino and assortment of electronics components for you to take home after the class. (The Workshop 88 Arduino Store is by far a cheaper route to get supplies.)
In this class you will learn how to start programming in the Arduino environment including interacting with the inputs and outputs of the Arduino.You should bring: a laptop with the Arduino environment downloaded and installed. Please contact us (firstname.lastname@example.com) if you have any questions. Image credit: By Linuswiki (Own work) [Public domain], via Wikimedia Commons

WEST ELM COLLABORATION: 20x200 FOR WEST ELM
Like us, gallerist Jen Bekman believes in the democratic idea of art for everyone. That's why she launched 20x200. We partnered with Jen and 20x200 to offer an exclusive collection of 10 ready-to-hang pieces by five of our favorite 20x200 artists, plus a line of gallery frames designed to fit the artwork sold on the site itself. Encouraging everyone to be a collector and support artists, 20x200 releases at least two new works a week in various sizes, often starting at $20. This genius "art for everyone" concept has earned 20x200 and its founder Jen Bekman accolades from Art in America, The New York Times, the Today Show and even The Economist.

Born and raised on the coast of Maine, Joe Kievitt grew up drawing from nature. He later moved to San Francisco and New York, where he discovered an affection for abstract art. Now back in Maine and living in Portland, Joe makes carefully considered pieces that create a kaleidoscopic effect of pattern, shape and color. He has exhibited around the country and completed public art projects in the Northeast, and, when not making art, he works as a carpenter and wood worker.

text: I'm thinking about ordering a custom Dead Sled from Chris Christenson, and I'm going back and forth between a 9'9" and 9'8" to the point of absurdity. It's a one inch difference, I know. But it'll be my only custom noserider, and I hope to have it for a long time. I have a 10' heavy-glassed log & a lighter 9'8". The 10' is great for small, mushy days. The 9'8 works nicely up to shoulder-high. I'm 190-195 lbs, 6'3". Anyone ridden one of these or have any advice on length. The Christenson team recommended 9'8"-10'. Ridiculous question, but your two cents are appreciated if you have a few noseriders or have ridden a Dead Sled.

First Look: Katie Holmes Rocks a Smoky Eye in Her New Bobbi Brown Campaign
The first image is out of Katie Holmes' new Bobbi Brown makeup campaign! What do you think of her smoky eye?
-Lucia Peters
We learned back in September that Katie Holmes had signed on to be the very first celebrity face of cosmetics company Bobbi Brown—and now we're getting our first look at the campaign. What do you think, Bettys?
In the first of two images, Katie rocks a smoky eye created with Bobbi Brown's new Long-Wear Cream Shadow Sticks. The shadow sticks, which retail for $28, will be available in February when the campaign officially debuts. Loose waves, pink lips, and a dramatic statement necklace complete the look.
Read Pics! Nicole Kidman Shines as Grace Kelly on the Set of 'Grace of Monaco'
Given that Katie and Bobbi teamed up because of Katie's fresh-faced, "girl-next door" appeal, it's sort of surprising that the first look from the campaign is a little more on the dramatic side; that said, though, you can get a peek at a second, more natural shot of Katie and learn how to get the look she wears there at the cosmetic company's website.
Katie told the Huffington Post, "I've always been a fan of [Bobbi's] makeup, because it's so easy to apply. Her color palettes aren't extreme, so when I first started wearing makeup it felt comfortable and I didn't feel like I had too much on, which can happen."
Tell us: Which do you prefer, Katie's dramatic smoky eye or her fresh-faced natural look?
Lucia Peters is BettyConfidential's associate editor.
