Kongregate Now Introducing Unity Badges!
Sep 20th
After a long wait, Unity games are finally being badged on Kongregate! Why the long wait you ask? As some of you may be aware of, through your own personal experiences or through others, Unity is not available for everyone and people using Linux will not be able to play Unity games. Thankfully, Kongregate is not allowing for any Unity badges, or games, to be featured in time-based events, so that when Unity releases to Linux that Linux users will be able to go back and earn all of the Unity points if they wish. I'm really glad to see More >

Hit the trails.
Full-faced helmets have their place on rowdy lift laps and jumps, but some days aren't as extreme, so it's good to have a Troy Lee Designs A2 MIPS Helmet waiting in the wings. Building on a well-earned reputation for hard-hitting motocross and gravity protection, the A2 transitions protection to lighter duty trails with massive venting, ample coverage, and MIPS technology to keep you cool under duress.
With 25% more ventilation than that found on TLD's venerable A1 helmet, the A2 MIPS promotes cooling airflow and encourages constant air movement across your dome. A removable, soft and plushy X-Static Pure Silver liner sits comfortably against your head, fending off the stink produced by bacteria and drying quickly to keep you cool. Not to ignore fit, the A2 MIPS helmet incorporates a three-position adjustable retention system for a custom, easily dialed fit.
- A lightweight helmet built for all-day trails
- MIPS technology reduces rotational force in certain crashes
- EPS and EPP foam mix absorbs low and high speed impact
- Extended coverage at back and temples increases protection area
- Large vents promote cooling airflow
- Highly adjustable retention system dials in the fit
- Visor fends off branches and glaring sun

Best fit for my head shape
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Unlike Smith helmets don't cup my head very well (they seem to be more shallow), Troy Lee Designs fits perfect. I love the redesign of the A2 which fits sunglasses easier under the cap.
Protect your Brain!!!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
After getting a concussion, I did a lot of research and purchased this helmet. I think it is the best helmet for the brain and skull. It's the only one I could find that has dual density foam, which helps absorb energy. It also has MIPS which is good for rotational forces. It is lighter than the 6D and looks great. I am going to purchase the same helmet for my kids.
Another Great helmet from Troy Lee!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: XL
I've been wearing TLD helmets for years, and while fit is a very personal thing I find that there helmets fit my head shape the best.
I was previously wearing a TLD A1, which I really like and it saved me big time in an over the bars crash.
Since replacing it with this, I have been nothing but impressed. The A2 does everything the A1 does, just better. I find that it breathes it significantly better, and you can see that just by looking at it. It's filled with large vents. That combined with exceptional coverage for a trail helmet make it the best helmet out there for.
Great Helmet
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have had a couple of different helmets over the years and this is my favorite. Its a great fit. looks good, feels good.
Looks great, but didn't work for me.
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
I've got a wierd melon. At 23 inches I'm on the big end of a medium and the small end of a large. With a sweat band the medium is too small, but the large looks like I should be cast on spaceballs. Ended up returning it.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Great Lightweight helmet with a good fit. Looks clean and protects your dome, not much more Id want from a helmet.
Amazing Helmet
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This is by far the best helmet I've ever used. If you like the A1 then you will love this helmet. Same great fit with awesome venting and style. Tons of color options to choose from too. Hard to beat!
I love my A2
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I was reading a lot of reviews on MTB helmet and Troy Lee A2 came up on the top. I have to say I love this helmet, it's worth it.
Looks Awesome
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Troy Lee always looks awesome and works great. This helmet is no different. It does have some adjustments on the back to dial in the size and chin straps. Has mips and feels great. I would recommend this helmet to anyone who bikes and is looking for safety and style.
Excellent Helmet
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
This is the best MTB helmet I have ever owned...it's the third one I've bought in the last four years. Great quality. Very lightweight and adjustable. I'm really glad I decided on the A2.
Hi there, my head circumference is about 23.25". What size would you recommend for this helmet?
XL/XXL fits a head circumference of 22.6 - 24.8in.
I'm a size 22 and have a hard time getting a good fit, usually get a medium and have to tighten it all the way down. Would the XS/SM in the A2 be the correct size to go with? Thanks
Hey William,
Great question as the size ranges for Troy Lee are different than a lot of other brands. If you measure 22 inches, I would do the XS/S and that should fit just fine.
Great helmet
This is far and away the best helmet I've ever worn in my 30 years of mtn biking. The fit is fantastic, very comfortable and light yet you just feel totally protected. I bought a second one to have where I spend about a week a month and have my old bike.
Put a lid on it
Very comfortable and stylish helmet. My first MIPS experience and it seems to have a great fit. I got this helmet to provide more coverage for enduro racing.
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I was recently inspired to invest in a better helmet after the death of a mountain biker on one of our local trails... It didn't take long for me to decide on this Troy Lee helmet when shopping around. This model came in XL--perfect for my fat head. .. As I was unpacking, my first impression was that this helmet has been meticulously engineered and designed for safety. It looked impressive just sitting in its box! Today was the first day that I wore it on a ride, and I can say without a doubt that this is the best mountain biking helmet I have ever owned. The difference between a $135 helmet (this one) and a $65 dollar helmet is truly insane. What you get for $135 will not only possibly save your life one day, but also make you feel good that you are doing the best you can to protect your precious melon! Buy one!
Great fit and light weight
Great Helmet
Like most TLD products, this helmut has been great. The fit is perfect and the ventilation is amazing.
Great protection but some limitations.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: M/L
Bought this after my re-entry into mountain biking. The fit is great and the protection I can attest to - crashed pretty heavily and the helmet was "dented", but protected my noggin' as it should have. It is comfortable and light and vents fairly well in the hot New Mexico climate. The only reason I deducted a star is that the helmet does not have a lot of clearance for glasses. I find that after some time descending a rocky trail that the helmet starts to push down on my glasses. I'm constantly having to readjust the helmet and glasses which gets pretty gnarly in technical descents. If you don't wear glasses this is a non-issue, but if you do, beware. The helmet fits great when you first try it on but take it out for a ride before you plunk down the cash.
Do you mean prescription glasses or sun glasses? I always wear some sort of eyewear for protection and can't have the constant fiddling with helmet and glasses as you describe.
Troy Lee Designs A2 MIPS Helmet
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Loved the look of this helmet when I first saw it! I did a bunch of research before I would even consider spending this kind of dough on a helmet. Arrival day, was super stoked on the looks and the way it fit my head. Even more stoke was present when I took it for the first ride. The helmet seemed super light and was like air conditioning for my melon. I barely noticed the helmet on my head while riding. All the features of the helmet are designed well and work for what they are intended. I was very hesitant about spending this kind on money on the helmet but super glad I pulled the trigger in the end. Hopefully I never test the durability during a crash to see how the shell and the MIPS performs. I'm a father of 3 on a budget and don't regret buying this at all. Definitely the best helmet I've worn to date in my 23 years of mtn biking.
TLD A2 Helmet
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
The new A2 is nothing short of excellent!! The redesign from the A1 gives it a more modern look as well as greatly improved ventilation. MIPS comes in every model now and I've fortunately/unfortunately experienced first-hand how well it works. The new fit feels amazing as well; it basically hugs your head and doesn't slide around.

It's been said that the pain of TMJ is second only to a toothache…and if you're experiencing facial pain on that level then you'll be glad to know there's something you can do at home. What we have here are cost-effective home remedies that provide relief from what's officially known as TMD and commonly known as TMJ.
Whatever you call it, pain in the temporomandibular joint is constant, persistent and in some cases, severe.
What is TMJ
"TMJ" really stand for temporomandibular joint, which connects the lower jaw to your skull. As you can imagine, this joint sees a lot of movement with everyday living…eating, talking, yawning, etc. It's not exactly a joint that can stay immobile for very long. If you have this disorder, it's constant discomfort, which is why we're lucky that there are actually some home remedies for TMJ that are effective.
When problems arise regarding either the joint itself or the muscles surrounding it (doctors aren't sure which), the result is TMD, or temporomandibular disorder. It's more prevalent in women.
What are the Symptoms of TMJ?
The symptoms of TMJ are pain and discomfort. More specifically, watch for:
- pain or tenderness anywhere in the general region of the TMJ: neck, face, jaw and shoulder areas included
- pain in the ear when opening the mouth
- the person's jaw can get stuck – either open or closed
- the person can't open the mouth very wide
- clicking of the jaw when chewing
- facial swelling
- facial muscles are tired
- sometimes: toothaches, tinnitis, earaches, headaches, dizziness and shoulder pain
What are the Causes of TMJ?
Doctors aren't quite sure what causes TMD, or TMJ Disorder, as it's sometimes known. They suspect trauma, however. Things such as whiplash or a blow to the head seem likely causes.
Stress may also be an indirect factor since it can cause a person to grind his or her teeth or clench muscles around the jaw and face. The fact that it's more prevalent in people between the ages of 20 and 40 lends itself to this theory.
Another possible cause of TMJ could be that rheumatoid arthritis has set into the jaw area. Or it could be osteoarthritis in that area.
Home Remedies for TMJ
The system of muscles around the jaw are complex, so each case of TMJ can potentially be quite different from the next. Therefore, any home remedies for TMJ that work for one sufferer may not work for another. Try several or a combination of remedies until you find your best combination for relief.
1. Massage. You may already be doing this instinctively. The pain of TMJ might be coming from muscle spasms so massaging might relax your jaw muscles.
2. Heat. This is another instinctive home remedy for TMJ- heat always feels good on muscles.
3. Cold Ice packs on the joint can relieve pain from TMJ. However, it won't relax the muscles. It's just a pain reliever.
4. Reduce stress in your life. Since stress might be a cause of TMJ, try and find sources of stress and eliminate them. Exercise works to ease stress.

The OverwhelmingNational Theatre (Cottesloe), London
American academic Jack Exley (Matthew Marsh) goes to Rwanda to do research for a book. It is early 1994, but such is the ignorance in the West of the situation there, let alone what is about to happen, that Jack arranges for his wife and son to join him.
Jack's wife Linda (Tanya Moodie) is also a writer, and describes her technique as waiting for some small detail to catch her attention, that she can then use as a way into a situation, unravelling this one thing until she finds a more universal truth. Shortly after explaining her approach to writing, she tries to buy a cabbage from a stall, and is aided by an English-speaking passer-by who turns out to have studied in Illinois, where Linda is from. He tells the stall-holder about the coincidence, and the three share a moment of inter-cultural bonhomie. Then Linda asks the man to ask the price of a cabbage. He tells her not to buy one from this woman. Why not? 'Because she is a filthy Tutsi whore.'
This is one of those theatrical moments contrived to change instantly the atmosphere in the audience, making us self-conscious and underlining the political character of our engagement with the play, written by JT Rogers and directed by Max Stafford-Clark. We are shocked and appalled. And perplexed. Here is a seemingly trivial event that certainly catches our attention, and forces us to confront awkward and uncomfortable questions. We know that hundreds of thousands of people were killed at close quarters in this part of Africa in 1994, that the very name 'Rwanda' has become a byword for 'genocide'. But in truth most of us don't understand Rwanda now any more than Jack does at the start of the play.
Amid the recriminations about what the West should have done, it is too easy to fall into the trap of saying the killing happened because the West failed to intervene, and wallowing in liberal guilt. But this makes no more sense than saying the war in former Yugoslavia happened because the Indians and Chinese didn't step in. Lurking behind much of the discussion has always been the unspoken assumption that, to paraphrase Edmund Burke, all that is necessary for Africans to do evil is that the West does nothing. To its credit, The Overwhelming for the most part avoids such 'Heart of Darkness' prejudice, and tries to explore how it is that human beings like us could commit such acts.
That's a tall order, however, and I too would rather write a play about it than an essay. The Overwhelming doesn't have a theory of its own. Linda talks to a French diplomat who is something of a cartoon villain (played with a suitably cartoonish accent by Nick Fletcher) with his unreconstructed imperialist opinion that Africans have shown themselves incapable of self-government. But Linda doesn't have a counter-argument, and, knowing what happened next, the audience is in an even tougher position. If one accepts that the West should have sent in troops to stop the killing, it is hard to avoid endorsing some version of paternalism. 'Stop the killing, and worry about the political implications later', one might have said at the time. Well, we didn't stop the killing, but it is later. The Overwhelming is an invitation to reflect on some hard questions.
There is some discussion of the legacy of colonialism, which is dismissed by the French diplomat, but the fact that the categories of Tutsi and Hutu were invented and institutionalised by Belgian colonialists, for example, is not so easily dismissed. The more recent role of the French in backing the Hutu government against the Uganda-based and largely Tutsi Rwandese Patriotic Front (RPF) also comes up (though other Western powers' support of the RPF does not). Most of these insights come from Dr Joseph Gasana (Jude Akuwudike), Jack's old college room-mate. But Joseph, who is The Overwhelming's central Rwandese character, is no more than a ghostly presence for most of the play. He is supposed to be the focus of Jack's book, but he is missing. He hovers around the action unseen by the other characters, and reads the letters he has been sending to Jack for the benefit of the audience.
Joseph is a Tutsi, and his disappearance is Jack's first sign of the impending horror. While ostensibly we are introduced to Joseph through Jack, and see him as the good guy for that reason, in fact we bring our own knowledge and assumptions to the play. When Jack, not understanding what is about to happen, begins to doubt his friend, it is Jack who loses our sympathy. The device of using a Western family as a way in for the audience is frustrated by our prior knowledge.
This needn't be a bad thing, however. At one stage we learn that the bodies of Tutsis have been found at a village outside Kigali, the men hacked to death and the women's Achilles tendons cut, to prevent them from running away between rapes. This is horrific, but instead of revelling in moral outrage, it it chastening to remember that it was stories just like this, but with the 'ethnicities' reversed, that fuelled the slaughter. Local radio stations across Rwanda warned Hutus that the RPF was invading from Uganda and their Tutsi neighbours would slaughter them. Even as they killed those neighbours, the Hutu perpetrators thought they were the victims. There were just enough true stories to fuel the hysteria. Indeed, the American family's servant Gerard (Babou Ceesay) is a Hutu whose family have been killed by Tutsis in Burundi.
Unfortunately if unsurprisingly, however, the play never really makes us understand how someone like Gerard could find himself taking part in such awful slaughter. (While Danny Sapani's 'Hutu extremist' politician comes across as nothing less than smarmily evil from the start.) In the programme there is a quotation from Primo Levi, who survived the Nazi holocaust, suggesting that 'it could happen anywhere'. But this isn't really true. What happened in Europe during the Second World War was fundamentally different from what happened in Rwanda in 1994. Whatever horrors occur at any time and place arise from the particular circumstances of that time and place, rather than from an enduring stain on the heart of man, or an atavistic urge that has to be suppressed, as some people seem to believe. It is easy to say 'Never again', much harder to know what you're talking about.
It is the less explicitly political aspect of The Overwhelming that approaches this truth. In another context, Jack's teenage son Geoffrey's tangle with a young Rwandan woman would have been a charming rite of passage. But the situation doesn't lend itself to such familiar tropes; 'this isn't fucking Sweden', as the American characters remind each other, and you can't just reproduce American life here. The reality of a rich American teenager paying an African woman to fellate him is no more romantic than it sounds - or indeed looks on stage. Geoffrey cracks when he realises his 'relationship' is intrinsically unequal and consequently twisted: 'This country!' This country at this time, its internal politics, its relations with other countries. The Overwhelming lets us share the frustrations of an American family trapped in a hell they don't understand, but we shouldn't conclude that understanding is impossible.

5 Kiss Tracks Recorded- two song titles, "Wall of Sound" and "Tell Her Hallelujah" that will most likely make the album. Gene says of the new album, "All the songs are band written, co-written together with no outside writers. I could describe it for those out there who are Kiss fans as a cross between 'Destroyer' and 'Revenge' – very similar."

I've kept putting off writing this for some time, but know that at some point something has to be said. The gossip/rumour mill hasn't been kind to us in the past. I imagine it'll have fun with this anyway but at least I have a chance to tell things from our perspective.
About two months ago, life for our family changed pretty dramatically. My oldest son Sheldon's behaviour has at times been a concern, mostly little things that just seemed odd. This escalated rapidly this summer to a crisis. Out of respect for Sheldon I'm going to be very lean on details. We brought him to the hospital at 2:00 AM one night after most of the family got no sleep whatsoever. Very painful to look into the face of a young man who looks so much like me, eyes just like his mom's and have no idea what I am seeing.
Sackville hospital wasn't very busy at that time of the morning so we were able to have him looked at quickly. We did our best to try to keep him calm. The doctor on duty was pleased to see that he responded positively to both Francine and myself. He did recommend transferring him to Moncton General via ambulance with a police officer escorting him in case things escalated.
Francine and I followed and then spent most of the morning sleeping in our chairs in the hospital waiting room. After taking to the doctors and psychiatrist, Sheldon was transferred to the psychiatric care unit and we were told to go home and get some sleep.
Sheldon spent the better part of two weeks there. He was diagnosed with schizophrenia. We answered a lot of questions from the psychiatrist and still this doesn't make a lot of sense as to the question why? It's often hereditary yet neither Francine nor myself can think of any family members on either side who've suffered schizophrenia. It can be caused by head trauma. We don't remember him ever having a head injury of any kind.
No use worrying about how this came to be. We'll probably never know. The good news is that Sheldon has responded well to the medication. There are many people who have suffered from schizophrenia and have led "normal" and successful lives.
Sheldon does worry about being accepted especially after befriending a fellow sufferer in the hospital who was abandoned by his family over it. He knows he has our support and I'm confident my extended family won't make him feel like an alien. There are programs available to help him and we are doing our level best to take advantage of them. Government agencies here have been surprisingly receptive to making it all possible even thought bureaucracy moves slowly at the best of times.
Sheldon is not sure what he wants to do with himself. He has written several manuscripts for books. At a glance he has talent (psychiatrist advised us that he was highly intelligent) but his work needs some first class editing work done. We are thinking to have him put together an author's blog with our help. Currently he can't sit for very long in front of a computer. I've told him that he needs to take it at his own pace. The people running the local mental health programs are excited to help in that regard. We'll see what happens.
There are collateral issues going on for us as a family. With the unending increase in the cost of food and gasoline, I can no longer afford to drive to Moncton to work. Gas and repairs for the family van is just killing us. I am not saying this to ask financial help from anyone. I qualify for unemployment insurance benefits. We may also be eligible for an additional supplement from the government. We just have to survive until all the paperwork gets done on that.

Contributing to an existing scholarship fund
There are currently more than 200 scholarship funds administered by the Penn College Foundation. These funds support various majors and many were established in honor or memory of Penn College alumni, students, faculty, and friends. By giving to an existing scholarship fund, you are paying a tribute to the individual, family, or business that originally created the scholarship. In addition, your gift will help that scholarship fund grow and ensure that it will continue to help students pursue "degrees that work.®"
Your gift to a scholarship fund will support the efforts of hardworking students pursuing degrees that work.®
Establishing a named scholarship
Scholarship funds can be established at Penn College in honor of, or in memory of, a family member, a friend, a co-worker, a student, a faculty member, or a mentor. Many businesses create scholarship funds to help increase their corporate presence at Penn College. Scholarship award recipients are selected based on preferences determined by the donor. Scholarships can be funded in a variety of ways, including cash donations, gifts of securities, and bequests.
Endowed Scholarship
An Endowed Scholarship provides a permanent funding source from which scholarships can be awarded. The fund principal must be at least $25,000 for awards to be made. Endowed Scholarship funds can be established with an initial gift of $25,000 or more, or through gifts totaling $25,000 or more over a period of up to five years. Once the fund principal has reached at least $25,000, the revenue earned on that principal provides the funding for annual awards. The donor or other interested parties may make additional gifts to the fund at any time.
Annual Award Scholarship
A donor provides funding for an Annual Award Scholarship on a year-by-year basis; the donor makes annual contributions totaling at least $1,000, with awards made from the scholarship each year that funds are available. Annual Award Scholarship funds do not earn interest.
Limited Duration Scholarship
Established to create scholarship awards for a specified period of time (e.g., the money is equally divided and awarded over the number of years specified). The donor makes a lump-sum contribution of at least $2,000 to establish a Limited Duration Scholarship, and annual awards to students will be at least $1,000. The donor or other interested parties may make additional gifts to the fund at any time. Limited Duration Scholarship funds do not earn interest.


text: Hi, I would like to announce the availability of the following paper, which introduces a new type system for the "let rec" construct, relaxing the syntactic restrictions usually imposed on this construct, and explores its expressive power, as regards object-oriented, or more precisely "mixin-oriented", programming. ______________________________________________________________ The Recursive Record Semantics of Objects Revisited Gérard Boudol In a call-by-value language, representing objects as recursive records requires using an unsafe fixpoint. We design, for a core language including extensible records, a type system which rules out unsafe recursion and still supports the reconstruction of a principal type. We illustrate the expressive power of this language with respect to object-oriented programming by introducing a sub-language for ``mixin-based'' programming. ______________________________________________________________ The paper is available from my web page: http://www-sop.inria.fr/mimosa/personnel/Gerard.Boudol.html Comments are welcome!

It has been an absolutely wonderful trip. Those of you who followed on Instagram (@caseymagic) would have seen some pretty fun things. Currently I'm sitting in a hotel room with my kid, as she showers, awaiting to go to a dear friend's wedding. Today I thought back to when I met him, and to think that these years in the future I would be attending his wedding, well, I definitely wouldn't have seen it then. Hell, I barely see it now...and it's amazing. The universe offers you so many people, and so many opportunities to reach out across that void and make a connection, and when you do, and more importantly IF YOU DO, embrace it. Feel it. Feel it for everything it's worth.
I've been super lucky on this trip to share my life of friends with my child. Trying to show her that there are amazing people out there in this world. Too numerous to count sometimes. The places are too amazing. The food is too good. The company is too astounding. Truly it's only the tip of what is to come, or what is to be. If you are reading this...I have come to know you in some light, or you have come to know me! I hope we continue to share, and move through this wonderful thing we call life.
Prince had it right.
Electric word, life.
Hope to see you soon.
Hit me up...I miss you.

Present: Cynthia Bowker, Will Chaney, Bill Covey, Suzy Covey, Debra Harris, Bobbie Meng, Geoffrey Stewart, Ying Tang
Ongoing Systems Updates
- Bill has returned from the dreaded state of Idaho.
- The power outage is still scheduled for December 28 & 29. One of our staff should be here. We need to get verification on the time. If we should loose power, we need to make sure that the backup will be OK. If we have no power at the start of the outage, we will call a halt to it. Due to a protocol failure during the last outage, Bill will call and remind them of the proper procedure for this one.
- AD Meeting – pushed forward until January. No consultant contact as of yet.
- Problems with Office – typical new user problems – acknowledged by MS, but not fixed. Patches seems to reinstall, but after three or four collapse. WINNT System 32 is fine. Registry or other files fail.
- XP is also having big problems. We'll stay with W2K for quite a while. MS no longer provides updates or patches or virus protection for W95. We may have to switch to XP if we can longer keep the virus protection current.
- Security - late night visitor to the 3rd floor of West – hacked in and caused the message, "I Like Men", to appear on public & staff machines. Have seemingly tracked it to a student employee. Geoffrey called CIRCA about the incident and asked if we were required to file a report with the Registar. They said no, but Bill says it does need to be reported and confronted through the proper channels.
- At the first of the year, we need to set all machines to have a log-on log, or have it set to local machine in order to verify who is using it.
Equipment Received/Installed/Repaired
Software Projects Status
- MSL classroom – John Ashcraft picked up 12 machines for developing image and testing. He also requested 23 IPs – will use a private IP block that is assigned to MSL.
- FCLA money – is supposed to be here, don't know what Martha's schedule is right now. Hope to buy the automatic inventory software soon.
- Got the estimate back for the West conference room - $560 – Gary is trying to get it rolling by the beginning of next term.
- There is a general meltdown for the UF SSN switchover. It is wreaking havoc with grants. Internally, we are caught up.
- Journalism – Neither PPD nor Facilities can monitor the power fluctuation. There is one machine that is on a clean circuit – we'll call Dell and tell them it is a lemon. It needs parts – it is the same machine that Priscilla has always had a problem with.
- Scan Technology – replacements for the Circ desk barcode readers – have not been ordered yet.
DP Coordinator
- Ying is working on a new version of the DLC tracking database - Winston made it clear that this is a new project. It will be run centrally.
- Arial database designed by DLC student – if it is a single, independent, standalone database, this is OK. It cannot interact with our stuff. Winston has made this clear to them.
- Facilities – Cynthia is plugging through the Point of Sale database. She is keeping it simple – little training should be required. System integrity and function come first.
- All three of our students will be returning for the Spring semester. A new schedule has already been established.

The Japanese word 'Reiki' literally translates as universal life force energy. This system of healing was developed by Mikao Usui in the early 20th century and evolved as a result of his research, experience and dedication. Reiki is given fully clothed in a quiet and peaceful environment. Your practitioner gently places their hands in a series of non-intrusive positions on or near the body. There is no massage or manipulation. The whole person is treated rather than specific areas.
As a receiver, your experience will include deep relaxation promoting a calm, peaceful sense of well being on all levels. Some people feel sensations of heat, tingling, or experience seeing colours, whilst others can have an emotional response, indicating that shifts are taking place, allowing harmony to be restored. Sessions can take 30 minutes or an hour depending on your needs and preference.

I only just had the time to post about it here, but better late than never, right? ;)
My local MAC counter had 50% off on some of the old LE and DC items that they still had and I took advantage of it! ;)
Here's what I got!
- All Nighter PRO longwear (DC) - I absolutely adore dark lips and I don't know how I didn't get this sooner! I've worn it at the counter a couple of times and it's such a lovely color. I really like the pro longwears, but I rarely buy them because of the price :/
- Saddle e/s (DC) - A basic medium brow. Not super special and not the best selling product (which I guess is why they're DCing it) but I think it's a nice color to have.
- Reflects Rust glitter (PRO. LE at counters w/ Makeup Art Cosmetics '09) - I pretty much collect pigments and glitters, so there was no way I could pass on this ;) I've worn it at the counter a few times and I think my favorite way to use it is on top of a black liner.
- Cocomotion pigment (LE w/ Makeup Art Cosmetics '09) - This has been out before and I always liked the color but just didn't love it enough to pay full price, so now was the time to get it!
- Mega-Rich pigment (LE a loooooong time ago... w/ Overrich '08) - Another pretty pigment that I've been looking at ever since it came out but only just bought! *happy dance*
- Skinsheen leg spray in the lightest color (medium dark) (LE) - I'm actually very happy with my pale self, but at the same time I like to change up my look as much as possible :) (with the exception being my hair. I'm just not a hair person, lol) I find the skinsheens to be pretty buildable but at the same time very easy to get to apply even. I also like how they don't transfer onto clothes (haven't tried with white clothing though, and I'm probably not going to take the risk!) but still wash off easily so I can go back to my nearly-corpse-color whenever I want ;)

To most of the people around the world, animals play more important role in their lives than the human beings. They dedicate all their love and care to their adorable pets which fill up the empty space of their hearts and never make them feel the solitude. A dog is regarded as the most loyal pet, which understands and obeys his master more than any other animal. Having an obedient and loving dog is not a matter of luck only. In fact, it all depends on the way you train him and make him understand your love and desire, which forces him to repay you with his care and obedience.
Proper dog training is the basic solution to every problem you are facing in carrying out your life with your pet. Every living creature needs a specific kind of training for understanding the discipline of this world, so is the case with your puppy. He'll never be able to understand your commands and requirements unless you follow an appropriate training schedule to let him learn the basic manners step by step. This method will make you both know the characteristics of each other properly, which will eventually reduce your hardships and provide you with great joy and comfort in breeding your dog.
The pre breeding rule for dog training is to understand the fact that always double hard work is required from you. You have to train the pet of what you want plus understand the things he requires. The first thing to know is the need of a sensible behavior from you. Harshness will make the dog go stray while over politeness can turn him into a brat. Plus, eating, sleeping, playing, hanging out, feeding, housebreaking etc are some of the basic activities that your dog needs to be scheduled. Mind that your presence in all these activities plays the major role.
A very important thing to be noted to do with your dog is to make him habitual of independent walking. Keeping him in you lap every time would soon leave you irritated. Another very important thing is to make your dog a part of socialization. Socialization is another key part of dog training. It makes your pet lively, out going, fun loving etc. you should also train him to avoid barking at strangers, digging problems, poop eating, and food lust. The best thing to do is to discourage these activities by splashing water, diverting his attention or showing unpleasant reaction.
You can make your dog used to with the sounds such as STAY, STOP, SIT, COME etc, so that he is able to understand your command immediately. Further, appreciate him on his good behavior and obedience by presenting him with his favorite cookies or toys. In this way, he'll love to repeat the positive actions and attitude for achieving the reward again. Thus, even this private dog training at your home can work a lot for the betterment of your pet. Just invest your kindness, patience and consistency and see the magical behavior of your dog. So start working on it. Thumps up!
Don't forget to learn about dog training equipment, dog training collars and dog fences.

DIY Horizontal Warping Mill
I couldn't afford $300 for one of these and couldn't find any plans on the 'net so had to design my own. Space is at a premium so it had to completely fold, too. My husband and I engineered and assembled this one. By removing the cross pegs and one end on each side of the leg supports, the entire thing folds flat and can be hung on a wall or stored under a bed. What's not to love about that?!

If it says alice_aod, it went to the right place. No worries!
I'm often asked how many yards it holds. That's hard to answer. I haven't made a warp, yet, that will max it out. It all depends on the size of the yarn you are using, how many ends you make and how many times you spin it. If you need to make insanely long warps, you can always make it wider. Each rotation yields 2 yards.
My friend Linda posted a video on how to use a horizontal warping mill with multi-threads using a paddle for super fast warping!
I just purchased the plans via paypal and the paypal page says it went through! Can you please let me know if you got it ok? I got an error on your page once the payment was done! best!
Payment was received. Plans were sent! :) Enjoy!
Actually "how many yards" can at least be partially answered. You should know how much 1 turn holds. That is easily calculated and is constant. Hopefully it is 1 yard?
Each rotation is 2 yards. I will update the de scrption.
OMG! Just finished making this, and it's a BEAUTY! Only cost $50 in materials ... and $400 worth of tools we already had. Used 3/4 inch dowels, made one peg removable to make it easier to take off the warp. Thank you Joyce and hubby!
I'm so glad you like it! Thank you so much for your support!
I bought the plans for the horizontal warping mill not long ago. Today, hubby and I went to the lumber store and got the materials. We went out to "The Man Garage" and started cutting and had it assembled in in under 2 hours. It's awesome! Thanks
So glad you're enjoying it! Thank you for your support!

The lifetime costs -- including healthcare, lost productivity, and criminal justice costs -- of all the children abused in the U.S. over a single year total up to $124 billion, researchers reported.
The figure, expressed in 2010 dollars, is based on an estimated lifetime cost of $210,012 for each nonfatal case and nearly $1.3 million for each fatal case, according to Xiangming Fang, PhD, of the CDC's National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, and colleagues.
The estimated burden of child abuse on an individual basis is comparable to such public health problems as stroke and type 2 diabetes, Fang and colleagues reported online in Child Abuse & Neglect.
Maltreatment of children – including physical, sexual, and psychological abuse, as well as simple neglect – has been shown to have lifelong health, social, and economic consequences, the researchers noted.
The consequences include increased medical needs, a higher risk of becoming involved in crime, and a greater need for special education, they noted.
To tally the costs of those consequences, Fang and colleagues used secondary data for the year 2008, in which state and local child protection services received some 3.3 million reports of abuse.
Of those, the authors reported, an estimated 772,000 children, with a median age of 6, were eventually classified as having been abused. Three-quarters of them had no history of abuse, suggesting there were 579,000 new cases in 2008.
The figure does not include the estimated 1,740 children – 80% of them younger than 4 -- who died from abuse or neglect that year, the researchers noted.
For nonfatal cases, Fang and colleagues estimated such things as childhood healthcare costs, adult medical costs, lost productivity, and criminal justice costs.
For the fatal cases, they estimated medical costs and lost productivity. In both estimates, amounts were converted to 2010 dollars.
For nonfatal cases they found, on average:
- Childhood healthcare cost an extra $32,648, and adult medical care an extra $10,530.
- The abuse resulted in lost productivity over the years of $144,360.
- Child welfare costs were $6,747, and special education costs were $7,999.
All told, they said, the average lifetime cost of a single nonfatal case added up to $210,012, while the average cost for each fatal case was $14,100 in medical expenses and $1.26 million in productivity losses.
The cost of the nonfatal cases is comparable, Fang and colleagues argued, to such things as stroke and diabetes, where estimates suggest lifetime costs of $159,846 and between $181,000 and $253,000, respectively.
The researchers cautioned that the findings are based on what is likely an underestimate of the number of cases in 2008, since many would not have been reported or, if reported, substantiated. As well, broader definitions of abuse would result in higher costs.
They were also not able to measure the cost of some of the consequences of abuse, including such things as reduced life expectancy or lower quality of life.
The analysis did not take into account the severity of abuse, they noted, and they were unable to estimate continuing costs for adults over 65.
The study had support from the CDC.
The authors, most of them employees of the CDC, did not report any conflicts.

Soil management practices for sustainable agro-ecosystems
A doubling of the global food demand projected for the next 50 years poses a huge challenge for the sustainability of both food production and global and local environments. Today's agricultural technologies may be increasing productivity to meet world food demand, but they may also be threatening agricultural ecosystems. For the global environment, agricultural systems provide both sources and sinks of greenhouse gases (GHGs), which include carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O). This paper addresses the importance of soil organic carbon (SOC) for agro-ecosystems and GHG uptake and emission in agriculture, especially SOC changes associated with soil management. Soil management strategies have great potential to contribute to carbon sequestration, since the carbon sink capacity of the world's agricultural and degraded soil is 50–66% of the historic carbon loss of 42–72 Pg (1 Pg=1015 g), although the actual carbon storage in cultivated soil may be smaller if climate changes lead to increasing mineralization. The importance of SOC in agricultural soil is, however, not controversial, as SOC helps to sustain soil fertility and conserve soil and water quality, and organic carbon compounds play a variety of roles in the nutrient, water, and biological cycles. No-tillage practices, cover crop management, and manure application are recommended to enhance SOC storage and to contribute to sustainable food production, which also improves soil quality. SOC sequestration could be increased at the expense of increasing the amount of non-CO2 GHG emissions; however, soil testing, synchronized fertilization techniques, and optimum water control for flooding paddy fields, among other things, can reduce these emissions. Since increasing SOC may also be able to mitigate some local environmental problems, it will be necessary to have integrated soil management practices that are compatible with increasing SOM management and controlling soil residual nutrients. Cover crops would be a critical tool for sustainable soil management because they can scavenge soil residual nitrogen and their ecological functions can be utilized to establish an optimal nitrogen cycle. In addition to developing soil management strategies for sustainable agro-ecosystems, some political and social approaches will be needed, based on a common understanding that soil and agro-ecosystems are essential for a sustainable society.

This week Reviewed.com is at CES 2013 in Las Vegas, bringing you all of the most important and exciting developments in technology. Here's a roundup of what we've been covering today.
Fujifilm Confirms X100s and X20 at CES 2013
The rumors are true: Fujifilm announced the X100s and X20 at its press conference, playing to a packed room of tech journalists and industry analysts. The X100s is a follow-up to the successful X100, while the X20 follows up on the X10 with a new and improved 2/3-inch sensor.
Cautious Bosch Says No Smart Appliances Just Yet
Bosch called a time-out on smart appliances that can't play well with others. The German technology conglomerate and home appliance manufacturer indicated that, unlike other manufacturers, the company is waiting for a universal system of communication across smart appliances before it attempts any foray into this developing market.
Pentax Debuts MX-1 Camera
Though Pentax has never been known for compact cameras, the MX-1 is the company's stab at the premium point-and-shoot market. Featuring a retro look and advanced photographic chops, this is easily the most serious compact camera Pentax has released.
LG's Lineup of Smart Fridges Seem To Have Invisible Touches
At CES thus far, LG has focused on one thing in appliances: convenience. According to LG CTO Skott Ahn, consumers haven't been quick to embrace home automation—mostly because the options currently available are cumbersome. LG hopes that the One Touch Smart Control unveiled today will streamline how consumers access the Smart ThinQ app that is already available for download.
Canon Announces PowerShot N, a Major Re-imagining of Design
Canon unveiled a new PowerShot at the Consumer Electronics Show today, and it's one of the first major re-imaginings of their compact camera designs in a several years. The PowerShot N breaks from many typical point-and-shoot conventions, starting with the physical design. The touch screen N is squarish—like a boxy tube TV—with just one familiar button: the power switch.
Samsung Shows Revolutionary New Smart Hub at CES
Samsung is kicking off CES with an exhibition of its refreshed smart TV platform, still called the Smart Hub. The platform's updates integrate broadcast content, new "recommendation" features, and even some social media capabilities. Users will benefit from upgraded hardware, and the whole system is shaping up to be a giant leap forward in terms of how we access cable television content.

BACPR Travel Award - Australia
Discover Australias most beautiful city
from the iconic Sydney Opera House and sparkling blue Sydney Harbour to fabulous beaches and delicious food. Set around the worlds largest natural harbour, Sydney is the most well-known of Australias cities, and with good reason. The capital of New South Wales (NSW) is truly a city of contrasts; the urban metropolis boasts a vibrant arts and culture scene, world-class restaurants, is home to gorgeous beaches and has a relaxed, laid-back vibe.
Sydney is more like a collection of towns than a single, homogenous city. Each little region of the biggest and best city in Australia has its own unique landscape, its own quirks, and its own rhythms, and that is a huge part of Sydney's vibrance.
BACPR Travel Awards and the Australian Cardiac Rehabilitation Association [ACRA] are delighted to offer a unique opportunity for one BACPR member to visit this iconic city and experience its diversity for themselves.
