← Back to Timepieces / Bradley Edge Black
An edgy take on our innovative Bradley timepiece, the Bradley Edge features a black ceramic face with raised, concentric circles radiating out from the center. Sleek, black, raised markers and a charcoal canvas strap allow you to tell time by touch — an edgy move by any watch's standards!
The Bradley timepiece features raised markers that allow you to feel the time by touch: a triangular marker for twelve, elongated line segments for three, six, and nine, and shorter line segments for the other markers. Two magnetized ball bearings travel around the watch face in separate, recessed tracks: one track around the center of the watch face for the minute, and one track around the outside edge of the watch face for the hour.
While our timepieces are engineered from highly durable materials, please note they are not completely scratch resistant.
Case: stainless steel
Face: ceramic
Strap: dyed canvas with Italian leather reverse
Ronda quartz movement with Swiss parts
40 mm diameter / 11.5 mm thickness

It's the unicorn of watches!
Beautifully made, accessibly designed! Excellent all around.
Never repetitive.. Happy and elegant... while that was just a line from a Classified song, it definitely applies to this timepiece! This watch is stylish to wear and intuitive to use. As a non vision-impaired person, I found telling time using the tactile features on the watch to be both easy and practical. No more blinding phone screen to check the time in the middle of the night.. I just leave my watch on my nightstand! It's definitely an eye catching piece and a conversation starter. Every day I've worn the watch someone has asked about or commented on it.
The only reason I am giving this watch 4 instead of 5 stars, is that it is much heavier and the face is much thicker than I had anticipated. I worry that this may lead to clanking it against something like a door frame which may damage the finish. These specs are something I could've put more thought into before my purchase, but I doubt would have swayed me not to buy this time telling arm candy.
Ive been wanting to get this watch for my boyfriend for a while because he has a watch collection and it is so unique so i finally pulled the trigger for his birthday coming up. I havent given it to him yet but even the box is really cool and i cant wait to see how much he loves it!
Very unique with affordable price. I really enjoying this timepiece and planning to gift few to my friends as well!

Artist Biographies:
• Show Bio for Jon Rose
"Jon Rose started playing the violin at 7 years old, after winning a music scholarship to King's School Rochester. He gave up formal music education at the age of 15 and from then on, was mostly self-taught.
Throughout the 1970's, first in England then in Australia, he played, composed and studied in a large variety of music genres - from sitar playing to country & western; from 'new music' composition to commercial studio session work; from Bebop to Italian club bands; from Big Band serial composition to Sound Installations. He became the central figure in the development of Free Improvisation in Australia, performing in almost every Art Gallery, Jazz and Rock club in the country - either solo or with an international pool of improvising musicians called The Relative Band.
In 1986, he moved to Berlin in order to more fully realise his on-going project (of some 25 years): The Relative Violin). This is the development of a Total Artform based around the one instrument. Necessary to this concept has been innovation in the fields of new instrument design (over 20 deconstructed violin instruments including the legendary double piston triple neck wheeling violin, environmental performance (eg. playing fences in the Australian outback using the violin as a bow), new instrumental techniques (tested sometimes in uninterrupted marathon concerts of up to 12 hours long), both analogue (built into the violins themselves) and the more recently inter-active electronics (3 bowing to Midi systems)... plus using the mediums of radio (over 20 major International productions for radio stations like ABC, BBC, WDR, SR, BR, Radio France, RAI, ORF, SFB, etc including 'Eine Violine für Valentin', 'The Long Sufferings of Anna Magdalena Bach' and 'Breadfruit'), live-performance-film, video and television to create a new, alternative, personal and revised history for THE VIOLIN.
Jon Rose performs his group projects and solo music in upwards of 50 concerts every year - in North America, Japan, Australia, South America, China, Scandinavia and just about every country in West & East Europe. He is featured regularly in the main festivals of New Music, Jazz and Sound Art e.g. Strasbourg New Music Festival; New Music America; Moers New Jazz Festival; European Media Festival; The Vienna Festival; Ars Elektronica; The Northsea Jazz Festival; Dokumenta; Roma-Europa Festival; Festival D'Automne; Festival Musique Actuelle; The Berlin Jazz Festival, etc. Rose has also been invited to curate Contemporary Music Festivals in Germany (e.g. Berlin Urbane Aboriginale) and Austria (e.g. Wels 'Unlimited'). He has curated his own festival "String 'em up" of radical string players and their instruments, taking place in Podewil, Berlin in 1998 and Dodorama and V2, Rotterdam in 1999 , Tonic, New York in 2000, Mains D'Oeuvres, Paris in 2002, and IPR, New york in 2010.
Jon Rose has appeared on over 100 records and CD's; He has worked with many of the innovators and mavericks in contemporary music such as The Kronos String Quartet, John Zorn, Derek Bailey, Butch Morris, Barry Guy, Fred Frith, Joelle Leandre, Connie Bauer, Johannes Bauer, Chris Cutler, Otomo Yoshihide, KK Null, Alex Von Schlippenbach, Toshinori Kondo, Francis-Marie Uitti, Alvin Curran, Evan Parker, Paul Lovens, Phil Minton, Shelley Hirsh, Mark Dresser, Ben Patterson, Emmett Williams, John Cage, Joel Ryan, Peter Kowald, Borah Borgmann, Tristan Honsinger, Mari Kimura, The Soldier String Quartet, Borah Bergman, Sainko, Tristan Honsinger, Tony Oxley, Cor Fuhler, Steve Beresford, Eugene Chadbourne, Bob Ostertag, Malcolm Goldstein, Jim Denley, David Moss, Miya Masaoka, Barre Phillips, Roger Turner, George Lewis, Gunter Christmann, Davy Williams, Misha Mengelberg, Elliott Sharpe, Elena Kats Chernin, Lauren Newton, Uli Gumpert, Christian Marclay, Richard Barret, Pierre Henry, etc).
In 1989, in co-operation with New Music Festival 'Inventionen' (Berlin), he directed the first 'Relative Violin Festival' with over 50 violinists from around the world.In 1991, he directed "Das Rosenberg Museum", a surrealist satire commissioned by German Television's ZDF, this piece later became the first interactive video ever to be controlled by a violin bow. Other films/videos include 'Café Central' and 'Shopping' (both made for ORF, Austria). The Rosenberg Museum does actually exist.
Jon Rose is also the originator of 4 books - The Pink Violin and Violin Music in the Age of Shopping (both published by NMA, Melbourne); "Music of Place: Reclaiming A Practice", and rosenberg 3.0 - not violin music. Jon Rose is currently performing Palimpolin - Hyperstring 4, one of a number of highly acclaimed works for violin and inter-active software. In addition there are performances of Violin Factory featuring large string orchestras and interactive video in Europe and Australia. His group projects include Strung, Violin Music in the Age of Shopping (with the likes of Chris Cutler, Lauren Newton, Otomo Yoshihide, etc); the infamous Berlin Noise-Impro-Rock Band Slawterhaus (with Johannes Bauer, Dietmar Diesner & Peter Hollinger); The interactive 'Badminton' game Perks, based on the musical innovations and perversions of Australian freak composer Percy Grainger; and there are five established improvising trios which are currently available... The Exiles (with Tony Buck & Joe Williamson), and The Kryonics (with Aleks Kolkowski & Matthias Bauer), Artery (with Chris Abrahams and Clayton Thomas), Futch (with Thomas Lehn and Johannes Bauer), Strike (with Clayton Thomas and Mike Majkowski) and the bicycle-powered chamber orchestra composition Pursuit.
The duo Temperament was formed in 2000 with pianist Veryan Weston, specialising in improvisation with different tunings (Just, 19 tone, etc) for the keyboards and various scordatura for the violins.
Other on going projects are Australia Ad Lib which documents alternative music practice in Australia and the duo Great Fences of Australia, a collaboration with US violinist Hollis Taylor.
Since 2001 Jon Rose is again based full time in Australia: in 2005 he finished a major commission Pannikin for The Melbourne Festival, and was awarded a 2 year fellowship from The Australia Council to research and develop The Ball Project.
In 2009 The Kronos String Quartet and The Sydney Opera House commissioned Music from 4 Fences.
From 2008-2010 Jon Rose collaborated with Robin Fox on the Transmission Project and he received a further grant in 2009 from The Australia Council to work with KMI in the USA, on the K-Bow. He is also a member of the Advisory Council for The International Society for Improvised Music (ISIM).
The Music Board of The Australia Council has honored Jon Rose with its most prestigious award for life time achievement and contribution to Australian music, The Don Banks Prize 2012.
Currency House has recently published his call to action "Music of Place: Reclaiming A Practice". "-Jon Rose Website (http://www.jonroseweb.com/a_jonrose_biography.html)

At the start of the seventies, with Dave Stewart, he co-founded The Ottawa Music Co, a 22 piece Rock composer's orchestra, eventually joining British experimental group Henry Cow with whom he toured, recorded and worked in dance and theatre projects until it's demise in 1978.

• Show Bio for Otomo Yoshihide
Otomo Yoshihide - born in 1959 in Yokohama, Japan. As a teenager, he spent time in Fukushima. Staying independent, he has consistently composed a wide range of music from improvisation to noise music and pop, and his music talent has spread all over the world. He has a successful career as a film score composer and has produced more than 70 movie soundtracks. In recent years, he has produced special type of concerts and musical works in collaboration with other various artists under the name of "ensembles". In addition, one of his priorities is,producing musical workshop projects involving handicapped children. In 2011, after the Great East Japan Earthquake , he started "PROJECT FUKUSHIMA!" along with people in various sectors. He has been active beyond the music scene and this is the reason that he has attracted a great deal of attention. In 2012, he received the Minister of Education Award for Fine Arts in the category of Promotion for "PROJECT FUKUSHIMA!". In 2013, he received various prizes including the Japan Record Award for his accomplishments, such as composing the theme music for the TV drama "Amachan".
"I use my real name "Otomo Yoshihide" as my stage name. When you write your Japanese name in English alphabet, many people often write their given names first, then their family names, following in the Western traditional culture. But originally, some Asian countries, including Japan, write their family names first, and then their given names follow after that. In my opinion, there is not only one standard for people's names and we should respect the values each person attaches to their name. Calling someone by his first name is a wonderful custom in Western culture to express familiarity with each other but that custom is not necessary in Japan because nobody has ever called me by my first name. It does not mean that people are unlikely to become close friends with me. It is just that calling me "Otomo" seems easier. There are some places with such customs in the world; where people friendlily call you by your family name. I am definitely not a nationalist but I have a feeling that something is wrong with those people who do not only disregard the tradition I am familiar with, but would rather follow Western standards.
For this reason, I would like to continue using the notation "Otomo Yoshihide" as before. When you call me, please call me "Otomo" as before. This will not cause any problems in its use. Until now, many people have written my name "Yoshihide Ōtomo" or "Yoshihide Otomo" but please understand those notations are not my intention. I am sincerely grateful for your consideration."-Otomo Yoshihide Website (http://otomoyoshihide.com/en/?page_id=4)

"This is an unexpurgated copy of the Victoriaville concert (Radio recording) with group: Lauren Newton, Joelle Leandre, Otomo Yoshihide and Chris Cutler. In my opinion the wildest and most dizzying version on record. Unfolding chaos with luminous performances - viz, Lauren's hair-raising interpretations and vocal event, Joelle's oscar-winning bag lady performance, THE CAST for maintaining an atmosphere of knife-edge confusion. All human life and a whole lot of other stuff too. High quality radio recording with nothing cut or edited - nightmarish, and funny. " - ReR Megacorp

Apologies for delaying the posting of this until today, but I had to make sure everything was perfect before I shared this finely-crafted project with the world. But trust me when I say—It was worth the wait.
A little background: Every holiday since 2004 I've worked on creating a loosely-themed calendar featuring photos of my favorite non-Mister men; I call it my Man Calendar. (Natch.) Colt is, as he is about most things, an extremely good sport about this project (although I'm sure it doesn't hurt that I display my physical version at work rather than in our home). He even offered a theme suggestion for this year ... which didn't quite work out, but it's one I'll save for the future.
Some of the mens in this year's calendar were featured in last year's calendar, but a few are new to the ranks. (If you're interested in checking out previous years, you can do so at the following links: 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009; 2008–2005 are in Word Docs, which says a lot about how far my design skills have grown, haha!)
This year's theme? Peacoats and Popped Collars, all inspired by the photo I found for Mr. February.
Without further ado, I'd like you to meet Mr. January: Mr. David Tennant, star of stage and screen and the actor behind my favorite Doctor of all.
The rest of the year goes a little something like this:
Mr. February—Tom Hiddleston (The Avengers, Thor: The Dark World)
Mr. March—Jensen Ackles (Supernatural)
Mr. April—Robert Downey Jr. (The Avengers, Iron Man 3)
Mr. May—Henry Cavill (The Tudors, Man of Steel)
Mr. June—Chris Evans (The Losers, Captain America, The Avengers)
Mr. July—Benedict Cumberbatch (Sherlock, Star Trek Into Darkness)
Mr. August—Chris Hemsworth (Cabin in the Woods, The Avengers, Thor: The Dark World)
Mr. September—Idris Elba (Pacific Rim, Thor: The Dark World)
Mr. October—Michael Fassbender (Inglorious Basterds, X-Men: First Class)
Mr. November—Michael Socha (Being Human, Once Upon a Time in Wonderland)
Mr. December—Jake Gyllenhaal (The Day After Tomorrow, Source Code)
And, as a Happy New Year! present to you: Here's a ZIP file of all of the months, ready to be printed and cut out for your own personal use! They're meant to be printed on a white card stock and then trimmed to 6"x9". I usually punch a hole at the top and then hang them all from a large jumpring. (The files are 150 dpi, which means they'll look larger than 6"x9" when you open or embiggen them—and some of the photos might look a little grainy—but they should print fine. Let me know if you have any issues and I'll try to assist!)
What do you think? Did I leave off anyone you would have included? Let me know and I'll consider adding them to my list for 2015.

Checking in on the… Pac-10Posted by nvr1983 on February 26th, 2009
Michael Hurley is the RTC correspondent for the Pac-10 Conference.
News & Notes
- Lute Olson compiled a 43-6 record against Arizona State. Since he took a leave of absence last year, Arizona is 0-4 against the Sun Devils.
- Against ASU, Jordan Hill, Chase Budinger, and Nic Wise all logged 40 minutes. For the year the three are each averaging over 35 minutes a game. They are the only team in the Pac-10 with three players averaging over 35 minutes a game. Come Pac-10 tournament time these three horses have to be tiring.
- Oregon State swept the season series against Cal for the first time since the 1994-95 season.
- Jerome Randle has 59 three-pointers this season putting him 9 shy of the school season record 68 set by Ryan Drew in 1990. With four games left and Randle averaging over two a game he stands a fighting chance at overtaking Drew.
- Washington State's win at UCLA last week was only their second win in their 53 games at Pauley Pavilion.
- The battle for coach of the year in the Pac-10 has four solid candidates. With the jobs Mike Montgomery, Russ Pennell, Craig Robinson, and Lorenzo Romar have done, there is an excess of candidates to choose from.
- Pennell is the front-runner right now in my mind. He turned this Arizona team around and has them at 8-6 in the Pac-10 and 18-9 overall. He was the second choice for interim coach in late October. Last year he did color commentary for Arizona State radio network.
- Jon Brockman is the only mid-season candidate for the Naismith trophy from the Pac-10.
Player of the week: Taylor Rochestie
Rochestie scored 24.5 points a game for Washington State this week. Rochestie also averaged five rebounds and four assists a game. Rochestie scored 33 points in WSU's upset of UCLA. He shot 5-for-7 from three-point range and a perfect 10-for-10 from the free throw stripe.
Honorable Mention: Darren Collison and Rihards Kuksiks
Collison scored 18.5 points and averaged 6.5 assists for UCLA this past week. Collison went a perfect 7-for-7 from the line in the two games. Kuksiks scored 17 points in Arizona State's win this week. Kuksiks scored 15 of those on five three-pointers.

Banking giant HSBC is to standardise its Linux deployments on Novell's Suse distribution, becoming the latest major enterprise to tap into Novell's tie-up with Microsoft.
Under the terms of the agreement between Microsoft and Novell last November Microsoft will officially recommend Novell's Suse Linux Enterprise platform and the two firms will provide each other's customers with patent coverage.
The tie-up was billed as paving the way for improved interoperability between the operating systems of the two former rivals. But it sparked criticism from rival Linux distributor Red Hat and some in the open source community.
The HSBC deal will see Microsoft supply the bank with three-year priority support subscriptions to Novell's Suse Linux Enterprise Server.
HSBC – which has more than 9,500 branches employing 284,000 staff in 76 countries – is seeking to reduce the diversity of its Linux environment, cut its total cost of ownership and improve interoperability with its Microsoft Windows infrastructure.
Matthew O'Neill, group head of distributed systems for HSBC's global IT operations, said: "The Microsoft-Novell agreement is a great catalyst to helping us reduce the complexity of our Linux environment as we standardise our Linux infrastructure with Suse Linux Enterprise and continue to extend the use of Microsoft Active Directory."
He added: "Some will be surprised to learn that our Windows environment has a lower total cost of ownership than our current Linux environment. Our decision to simplify our mixed-source environment with Microsoft and Novell will allow us to reduce the cost and complexity. That's why we have selected Novell as our preferred Linux partner to support our Linux infrastructure going forward."
HSBC's contract follows a similar deal signed in January by retailer Wal-Mart for Microsoft to supply it with Suse Enterprise Server.

7 Beach Body Exercises For Different Muscle Groups
When the warm weather hits, don't get caught with your winter flab still hanging around. Get in shape before it's time to hit the beach with these simple exercises that target the areas you'll be exposing the most this summer: arms, legs, glutes and abs. These exercises can all be done at home or at the gym, and are perfect for getting a toned look, adding a little more definition to your body, while avoiding putting on too much muscle mass. This type of body is better suited for a day at the beach, whether you are lying on the sand or swimming in the water.
Exercises for Your Arms
1. Bicep Curls
This works your bicep muscles as well as the muscles in your forearm to give your arms a toned look under the sun.
- Choose a dumbbell with a weight that works for you.
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Hold a dumbbell in each hand with your palms facing outwards.
- Bend your right arm at the elbow and bring the dumbbell up to your shoulder. Be sure your elbow remains at your side throughout the motion.
- Repeat with your left arm.
2. Push Ups
If you have trouble completing a proper push up at first, balance on your knees instead of your toes. Either way, you will be working your triceps and chest with this exercise.
- Lay stomach-down on the floor.
- Raise your body up so that you are balancing on your toes and hands. Your hands should be placed so that they are slightly wider that shoulder-width apart.
- Lower yourself by bending at the elbows until your chest is just a few inches from the floor.
- Push down and extend your arms to raise yourself back up, then repeat. Keep your body in a straight line at all times throughout this workout for the best results.
3. Dips
At the gym, you can use dip bars or a weight bench to do this exercise, but a chair works just at well at home for developing your triceps and anterior deltoid muscles.
- Stand in front of a chair, facing away from it with feet shoulder-width apart.
- Place your hands on the front edge of the chair, holding your buttocks up in the air as you do so. Start with your arms straight, then lower yourself by bending at the elbows.
- Once your buttocks are a few inches from the floor, raise yourself back up by extending your arms.
Exercises for Your Legs and Glutes
4. Squats
Squats are great for working your thighs and glutes. These muscles are important for toning the upper portion of your legs and fitting into that beach bathing suit or swim trunks.
- Stand with your feet slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
- Bend your knees to lower yourself down to a sitting position.
- Hold the position for a second or two. You may need to hold your arms in front of you for balance.
- As you lift yourself back up to a standing position, tighten your glutes. If you want more resistance, hold weights as you do this exercise.
5. Lunges
Lunges work your quadriceps muscles and your glutes, and are also important for making your exposed legs look their best while you're out at the beach.
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.
- Take a long step in front of you with your right leg and lower yourself down until your right knee is at a 90 degree angle. Make sure you knee is directly above the toe.
- Then, push down on your right leg to return your body to the standing position you started in. Repeat with your left leg. You may hold dumbbells for added resistance.
Exercises for Your Abs
6. Crunches
With your midsection constantly exposed as you lie on the sand at the beach, it's important to focus on your core to look your best. This exercise works your abdominal muscles, particularly those in the so-called "six-pack" area.
- Lie down on the floor facing up with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor.
- Place your hands either behind your neck or crossed over your chest.
- Tighten your abdominal muscles and curl your shoulders up off the floor towards your pelvis. Your lower back should not lift off of the floor.
- Lower yourself back down until your head is a few inches from the floor, then repeat. Be careful not to push against your head or neck if you do place your hands behind your head.
7. Oblique Crunches
Oblique crunches are performed in the same manner as regular crunches with only a slight variation. This exercise works the outer abdominal muscles called the oblique muscles to complete the beach body look for your midsection.
- Set yourself in the same starting position you would use for crunches.
- Instead of curling the body straight forward like you would for a regular crunch, the right shoulder should be curled towards the left hip.
- This should be alternated with the left shoulder curling towards the right hip. You can alternate an oblique crunch with a regular crunch to add more variety to your beach body abdominal exercises.
Beach Body Diet Tips
In addition to exercise, you should stick to a healthy diet plan to encourage muscle gain and weight loss. Use these tips to get a great beach body that's toned and fit:
- Eat foods rich in fiber. Fiber helps you to feel fuller, meaning that you can eat less. It also aids in digestion so it will help you avoid bloating.
- Add in plenty of protein. Like fiber, protein is good for you and helps you to feel fuller for longer. Fish and lean meats are great choices in this category, so think about adding some chicken breast and salmon to your diet.
- Snack on fruits and veggies. Fruits and vegetables are great for you and contain very few calories. Keep some apples and apricots around to munch on between meals instead of salty, sweet or fatty snacks.
- Eat smaller portions more often. Rather than relying on three big meals a day, have smaller portions throughout the day to aid in your weight loss and help with portion control.

Three Easy Tips To Play Tight Aggressive NL Texas Hold'em Poker
Poker and trading have similar laws. But it does not mean that you will be good trader after success in poker or good poker player after success in trading. Yes, these areas are similar but they require different skills. Anyway if you are a trader you can always try to play poker and decide, is it similar to trading or not. Your own opinion will be more valuable for you.
Myth 8."You have to be super aggressive to be good in poker". There are only very few successful players who constantly play super aggressively and win. Those players are mostly poker legends and mainly tournament players. Ordinary players who adopt this game style go broke very quickly. Players who make money constantly in poker are usually selective rather than over the top aggressive at all times. You don't need to be wimp, but don't go all in on every hand you get, a more balanced approach will give you much better results in the long run.
5. Winners articulate their actions, mentally. Don't be a looser and never explain the whole table why you made the call or what a great hand you folded, not only it is very bad manners in poker, you also give valuable information away to the other players. However before every action you should mentally say to yourself "I fold, bet, call, raise or check because …" This way you will be making decisions and not just following your instincts.
This is new alternative is the favorite of the people is starting to play poker or want to learn history, different poker game styles, poker hands or any theme referent to the amazing world of online gambling.
It is advised to start with common situations in which you do not feel confident, and then try to move on to more specific aspects of the game. For example, using this method you can realize that the biggest leaks are made during bluffing with small pairs or passive playing till the turn in weak position. If this happens, just filter the hands to keep those with this exact problem. Follow your thoughts and change them in similar situations.
This method has been tried and tested. It's a good method as long as you stick to it. You must be prepared to hit bad variance and move down a level or two if you need to. Discipline is KEY for this bankroll method.

text: Angler Harry Miriklis and Anthony Catanzaro and their motley crews spent a week fishing Vanuatu at Trees and Fishes aboard Azzurra. While not hellbent on targeting any particular species, variety was certainly the spice of life for the guys. Pretty much all species fishing Vanuatu has to offer was encountered. A great week was topped off on the last day with a visit to a newly discovered sea mount where the guys managed a 150kg blue marlin, 20 yellowfin tuna, then jigged some monster ruby snapper and grouper. Well done on a successful week.

Key Lime Bars are just 103 calories a serving
As we move into the new year, I will continue my practice of devoting the first column of each month to a main dish, veggie or salad that is designed for diabetics. The second column in each month will come from by cookbook "Bob's Grub for Groups." The third column will be one of the many chicken salad recipes that I have collected over the years and the last column will again feature a special low-sugar or sugar-free dessert. The remaining columns will be special recipes that are suitable for cooking in a crock pot.
Today's recipe makes 9 servings of 103 calories each. The dietary exchanges are 1 starch and 1 fat.
Key Lime Bars
8 whole graham crackers
1/4 cup Splenda no calorie sweetener, granular
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 Tablespoons margarine, melted
1 1/2 cups Splenda no calorie sweetener, granular
1/3 cup key lime juice
2 cups plain low-fat yogurt
1 cup reduced-fat frozen whipped topping, thawed
Spray an 8 by 8 inch square pan with vegetable cooking spray. Set aside.
Crush graham crackers, reserving 2 Tablespoons. Combine graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup Splenda granular, cinnamon and margarine, mixing well. Firmly press mixture evenly on the bottom of prepared pan; set aside.
Combine 1 1/2 cups Splenda granular lime juice in a heavy saucepan. Bring mixture to a boil. Reduce and heat and cook about 5 minutes or until mixture is reduced by half. Set aside to cool.
Stir yogurt into Splenda granular and lime mixture; fold in whipped topping. Spoon mixture over graham cracker crust; sprinkle with reserved graham cracker crumbs. Cover and freeze at least 4 hours or until firm. Let stand at room temperature 10 minutes before cutting into bars.

McFarland to give train talk at OCCHS Feb. 19
Area train historian Mel McFarland will describe a ride on the early Colorado Midland Railway in two talks at the Old Colorado City History Center Saturday, Feb.
The first will begin at 11 a.m., the second at 2 p.m. Both are free (although donations are welcome) and open to the public.
Owned and operated by the non-profit Old Colorado City Historical Society (OCCHS), the center is at 1 S. 24th St.
The Colorado Midland, started in 1887 and headquartered in Colorado City, traveled up Ute Pass and through the mountains to Grand Junction.
Because large audiences usually attend McFarland's programs, reservations are suggested. The center is open Tuesdays through Saturdays. 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., and the phone is 636-1225.

Have you ever accompanied a loved one to the doctor and heard a diagnosis you just weren't expecting? Or have you had the same experience regarding your own health? If so, you might recall a loud buzzing in your ears and not having a very clear memory of what followed "Well, here's what we know . . ."
First, consider taking an "appointment buddy" with you anytime you visit the doctor. Another set of ears--and a note-taker--can be invaluable. Second, here is a useful tool from The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, which is part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services:
The 10 Questions You Should Know:
1. What is the test for?
2. How many times have you done this procedure?
3. When will I get the results?
4. Why do I need this treatment?
5. Are there any alternatives?
6. What are the possible complications?
7. Which hospital is best for my needs?
8. How do you spell the name of that drug?
9. Are there any side effects?
10. Will this medicine interact with medicines that I'm already taking?
AHRQ web site
And I would add:
11. Can I call you if I think of any other questions after I leave here today?
There's a reason we call it Advance Care Planning. Print this list of questions, put it in your wallet and I hope you never need it. But, just in case you do . . .

Several surf events that relate to the Monterey Peninsula surfing community have happened in late may and run through this weekend. These events have their roots in the late 1970s and 1980s.
The 32nd Annual Sunshine Freestyle Surfabout, a surf contest for Monterey County residents only, will be held Saturday and Sunday. It was started by Brad Johnson, founder of the Sunshine Freestyle Surf Shop (sunshinefreestyle.com), in 1980 to build better communication and positive interaction in the surfing community. Current owners Rich Wenzlik and Rob Kreyerhagen have continued this event that has given young surfers, or "grommets," stylish 20- to 40-year surfers as well as the aging "kahuna" group of 60-plus years a chance to surf briefly in non-crowded waters.
The Surfabout is for families. The first Surfabout was held in 1980. Brad Johnson, the original Sunshine owner, received permission from the Carmel City Council to hold the event. Around 1986 or 1987, the council wanted to begin to levy fees for the event. Johnson spoke to then-Mayor Clint Eastwood and explained the contest was a locals only event, which brought the community together for a weekend of friendly competition and fun.
Eastwood agreed and since then, this contest has been held every year. Within the past few years, the contest has seen three generations of locals gathering on the beach, competing and playing at the event.
This event is probably the longest single surf-shop run surf event held in the United States. No corporate sponsors, no hoopla, just families and friends.
Shark attack
Lew Boren was a well-known local surfer who died in a shark attack on Dec. 19, 1981. An excerpt from a website documenting shark attacks:
"The attack on Lewis Boren is probably the best known California white shark incident. On the morning of 19 December 1981, Boren had been surfing with friends. After lunch, he returned to surf at Spanish Bay, alone. The last anyone saw of him was when his friends talked to him at 2 that afternoon. The next day, two surfers found his board washed up on shore.
A large chunk had been bitten out of it. They found the missing piece only a short distance away. It wasn"t until Dec. 24 that Boren"s body was found. From the wounds, it appeared that he had been lying on his board with his arms stretched out when a large white shark struck from the left side.
The shark bit through both Boren and his board. Boren"s wound reached from his left armpit to his left hip, and more than halfway across his body. From the tooth count and size of the bite, the shark was estimated to be 17- to 19-feet long."
Kelly Sorenson, owner of On The Beach and On The Beach Surf Shack (onthebeachsurfshop.com), has a memorial to Boren in his new Surf Shack at 700 Cannery Row, Suite Q, next to Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. Boren"s board can be seen there as well as photos of him. The Shack opened May 25 and features surf related clothes and other On The Beach items.

7Hills Skatepark
- Amman, Jordan -
In December 2014, Make Life Skate Life constructed 7Hills Skatepark, a 650 m², free of charge, community-built concrete skatepark in downtown Amman, Jordan. During the three-week build, our international team of professional skatepark builders worked with local youth to teach them about concrete skatepark construction. 7Hills Skatepark is situated in one of the few public parks in Amman in the impoverished area of Prince Muhammad Street.
In the framework of our youth-empowerment skate program, we cooperate with local NGOs to organize weekly skate classes, and develop a loaner program with skateboards that are free to use at the skatepark. The goal of the loaner program is to provide a safe place for leisure and physical education for refugee youth and other vulnerable groups. At 7Hills Skatepark, we currently offer different weekly skate classes with Sudanese families, and Iraqi and Syrian urban refugees. Once a week, we offer Palestinian youth from the Gaza camp in Jerash the opportunity to skate at 7Hills Skatepark. During the various skate classes, our team is being supported by local Jordanian youth. In addition to our activities at 7Hills Skatepark, we organize regular outreach sessions at Zaatari, the largest Syrian refugee camp in Jordan, and the Palestinian Gaza camp in Jerash.
For updates about our skate program and activities, follow @7hillspark on Facebook and Instagram.
Every week, our skate program reaches more than 130 youth with an approximate 70% of refugee participation. The participation of girls represents an average of 35%, whereas the goal is to reach at least 50% female participation. Since the start of the skate program, the community involvement at 7Hills Skatepark has increased significantly. Every day, more local youth assist during skate classes, while their parents and families join to enjoy the public space.
Our skate program has the potential to engage more youth in Jordan. Most of the youth in Jordan has no occupation, limited access to resources, and few outlets for creativity and play. With 60% of the population in Amman being younger than 25 years, there are many more potential participants to our skate program. Skateboarding helps to connect youth from different origins, religions, colors, education, cultural backgrounds, age and gender. Our skate program provides youth with an environment that represents safety, hope, friendship, and fun. It helps to break down social barriers and fosters tolerance and respect for others. It is through skateboarding that we make vulnerable youth believe in their own abilities again.
Due to the increasing popularity of our skate program, the 7Hills loaner infrastructure needs to be improved significantly. We plan to renovate the 7Hills storage room and make more loaner boards available. In order to accomodate the increasing demand and to make skateboarding available to more youth during outreach session, we plan to build portable ramps, extend our supply of loaner boards and protection gear, and secure permanent transportation. Thank you for supporting our skate program in Jordan.

Another work week has ended, and Saturday heralds a new Idiot of the Week. There are so many to pick from, but I found that this week's winner really stood out.
I am going with Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC) this week. Oh, you remember Sen. DeMint. He's the one who referred to health care reform as Obama's Waterloo last summer and talked about how stopping health care reform would "break him." Now he has himself all mixed up with the teabaggers.
So what has DeMint been up to recently that earned him our award? Not only is he opposing any sort of health care reform, but because he's actually been praying in public, in direct opposition to his bible, for the defeat of health care reform legislation. That's right, Sen. DeMint is praying to his god for help killing health care reform in the Senate!

School District Again on White House's Short List
The Fox Chapel Area School District was once again recognized by the White House, this time for its commitment to the Nation of Makers initiative. The Nation of Makers initiative was launched in 2014 and is an effort to give more students, entrepreneurs, and citizens access to a new class of technologies such as 3D printers, laser cutters, and desktop machine tools to design, build, and manufacture just about anything, as well to allow increased access to mentors, spaces, and resources to support making.
The Fox Chapel Area School District was mentioned in a press release which was part of President Barack Obama declaring a National Week of Making June 17-23, 2016. According to the press release, "Fox Chapel Area School District in Pittsburgh, PA, will integrate making into its computer science curriculum for more than 2,000 elementary school students, including the student-created and facilitated program, Code to Create." The press release also mentioned that more than 1,400 kindergarten-12th grade schools, representing nearly one million students from all 50 states, are committing to dedicating a space for making, designating a champion for making, and hosting a public showcase of student projects.
The Fox Chapel Area School District recently received a $20,000 STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts, and Mathematics) grant through the Center for Creativity, the Benedum Foundation, and the Grable Foundation. The funds will be used to create a stationary maker space and mobile maker carts at Dorseyville Middle School. The school district's K-12 maker initiative will also be highlighted as part of Pittsburgh's Maker Faire October 15 and 16 in Pittsburgh's North Side.
In recent years, the rise of the maker movement has been growing throughout the United States. It includes an innovative way of learning that involves the use of technology to incorporate a hands-on educational environment where students learn by doing.
The Fox Chapel Area School District was also recognized by the White House in late January for its commitment to computer science education.

Dear Anthony,
You may have finally begun to notice that our little family sticks out from the rest of your relatives. I don't drag you to church on Sundays, you may have been baptized but you haven't followed through with any other sacrament, you have never been to midnight mass and most of all, your momma doesn't pray.
Some of our family will try and tell you that I am short-changing you, I expect that as you grow older that the pressure for you to join them on Sundays will grow. I'll intervene if I hear it but I can't be your shadow. Other members may tell you fanciful stories about Jesus, Mary and countless saints. They will point out the religiosity of your namesake, they will son... I know they will.
As of when I am writing this you are about to turn four, in fact I am looking at party supplies in another tab but have taken a moment to write this to you. I hope to share it with you someday. As it stands right now I am fairly healthy and am looking forward to growing older.
The truth is though, that life is not fair, and if something has happened to me I trust that your father will pass this along to you.
The universe is a big place son, its size is one of my greatest comforts but for others it creates fear. In that state of fear many people have tried to fill the gaps of the universe with gods and ghosts. Education has stopped being revered and is now mocked and abandoned for iron age fairy tales. I decided I didn't want that for you.
I never want you to look out into the world and assume that some evil is tempting you from an invisible dictator's good graces. I want you to cherish all life and find blood sacrifice (divine or otherwise) appalling. I want you to be able to tell logic from bullshit.
So here is my promise to you Anthony, I will not force you to sit on a pew and kneel before men. I will never endanger your innocence by leaving you in the care of a priest whose mind may be sick from a lifetime of sexual repression and guilt. I will not force you to memorize prayer after prayer, eventually leaving you to question the nature of your own mind in comparison to that of the divine.
I will insist that you treat others well. I demand that you think before you act, and failing that I must request that you ponder your actions while suffering any deserved consequences. But most of all my little boy, I ask that you continue doing one wonderful thing. Ask "why?"
If someone tries to give you a simplistic answer ask "why?" until their reasoning falls apart.
If you gain understanding of one aspect of how the world works ask "why?" so you can find out the next part of the puzzle.
And finally, if I am gone, ask my family "why" and when they try and fill your brain with god-based garbage I want you to continue firing "why" until they run out of lies. You're a smart kid, you'll know what to do from there. Don't be angry, be logical. Goodness is a basic human trait, and you have it in volumes kiddo.
Now, I need to find a Race Car pinata before next weekend.

awww that was so sweet :)
...and true :)
That was so poignant and pure. A beautiful expression of a mother's love for her son and concern for his mental health and well being. He is a lucky boy.
Don't fret. I never subjected my children to religious nonsense although they were exposed. They have grown to be loving model citizens who have a healthy skepticism for lies born of bull shit, ignorance and superstition. Some day I suspect Anthony will thank you as my children have thanked me.

Our ageing population will have a major influence on the shape of our countries future. In the next 20-30 years, the population aged 65 years and over is projected to increase to 25 per cent of the population- a profound social shift which requires an equally profound shift in our attitudes towards getting older.
In order to leverage the opportunities of an ageing population we need leadership and we need to change the way we think about ageing.
Despite what the billboards and magazines say, growing older is not something we can avoid. Our ability to live longer is a historical achievement that should be celebrated.
Older people are a resource for their families, communities and economies and deserve to age well in age-friendly and supportive living environments.
It has been particularly pleasing to see a lot of our local councils like the West Tamar Council and Central Coast Council actively taking steps to create age-friendly and dementia-friendly communities. But there is more to be done.
It doesn't matter what colour the Government is, it must provide adequate support to enable communities to become more age-friendly.
We all want to 'age in place' and grow older in our own homes and communities, making our own choices - an age-friendly community epitomises this notion.
Age-friendly communities are not created with a one-size-fits-all approach. Everyone is involved – from the butcher to the baker – to ensure that older people in the community remain active, mobile and engaged.
In practical terms, an age-friendly community adapts its structures and services to be accessible to and inclusive of older people with varying needs and capacities. These include; transportation services, outdoor spaces with restrooms, housing, respect, social inclusion, communication and information.
This is not about buckets of money – just a changed perception to view ageing as a blessing and not a burden, and it has to start from the top.
Unfortunately Prime Minister Turnbull is not scoring any points in this area, the only things he's offered to older Australians are cuts to aged care and dementia services, cuts to healthcare and the removal of the electricity benefit for pensioners.
Moving forward, it is imperative for the Turnbull Government to anticipate and appropriately respond to the needs of our rapidly ageing population and their lifestyle preferences.
More action is needed to protect vulnerable older Australians and promote their inclusion in, and contribution to, all areas of community life.

There are English Canadians who write in French because Canada has two founding peoples and the French population is 1/4 of the population of Canada.

I would still disagree. To be an oppressed minority in a foreign land is NOT the same as being the majority under occupation. Only some Jews would have had to have dealings with the "outsiders", and at that, they would only be in the major centres of population. Yes, those who want to conduct trade with the "outsiders" had to know the rudiments of the language, but, that is a very long way from Jesus speaking to the crowds, the point of this whole discussion if I remember correctly. Jesus was a native, and to the natives he would have spoken the common language, which would not be the language of the oppressor or "outsider". That the Gospels are in Greek tells us more about their intended audience than the language in which their central figure would have spoken whatever you accept that he spoke! If it could be shown that Galileans and Judeans could not communicate because their dialects were so different as to be incomprehensible to one another, then you might have a case for Jesus speaking Greek when he was in Jerusalem. There is no denying that some Jews knew Greek both to speak and to write. But only the very educated who bought into Hellenistic culture would have spoken it among themselves. Jesus speaking to the crowds could hardly qualify for this. Glenn Wooden Acadia Divinity College Wolfville, Nova Scotia, Canada

Helping Kids is Bad, Robbing Kids is Good
If you were to believe the Department of Justice, it seems the wrong thing to do during our economic crisis is try to make life better for under privileged, at risk youth, and the right thing to do is take away from them what little economic development opportunities they had, and push even more children into poverty. The latest policy shift at the Department of Justice is to go after non-profit charities for their pennies, while we have yet to see them even touch the banks for their fortunes, largely maintained upon the backs of tax payers.
The Big Brothers Big Sisters of America foundation works with at risk and underprivileged children to kindle "higher aspirations, greater confidence, and better relationships; avoid risky behaviors; [and provide] educational success." Volunteers take these at risk youth and pull them under their wing to help provide a role model and a stable course in life. Research has shown this practice reduces the chance that these at risk youth will drop out of school, experiment with drugs or gangs, and go to prison; but the Department of Justice is sending the message that this is a bad thing.
The federal grants that largely fund the Big Brothers Big Sisters foundation have been frozen following an audit from the office of the Inspector General of the Department of Justice. The Audit found that Big Brothers Big Sisters could not account for about $19 million in grant money they have recently received. While that sounds severe it needs to be put into perspective. The audit did not accuse them of misusing the $19 million; their crime was not knowing exactly which of their expenses they used the grants for. Big Brothers Big Sisters made the mistake of pooling their grant money in with their general accounts, making it impossible to distinguish between the two.
On the other hand, during the TARP bailout program the Special Inspector General for TARP, Neil Barofsky begged to require banks to report on how they used their tax payer funds. He was repeatedly told by administration officials, including Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner that "all money is green", meaning that once it was given to the banks, there was no way to track how it was used.
Ignoring the golden parachutes, excessive bonuses for ruining the economy, and corporate mergers (all on the back of the tax payers) that are the evidence of this lie, there is still the curious omission of any Justice Department action against the banks. The banks have hardly seen a disappointed scowl from our lawmen, let alone anything resembling real punishment. It was risky banking, pooling of troubled assets, over leveraged speculating, and dishonest bond sales that drove the economy into a ditch, leading to, not just $19 million, but trillions of dollars of tax payer bailouts to these banks without even a suggestion of accountability for this money. So why now? Why over the paltry amount of $19 million (five times less than the $100 million used to pay bonuses to the very men who tanked the economy)?
Of course I am guilty of over-simplifying the issue. The office of Inspector General ideally opperates independantly of the rest of the Department of Justice, so it is not as if Big Brothers Big Sisters was targetted (we hope).There are and should be stipulations to recieving grants, which Big Brothers Big Sisters failed to meet, and the remainder of the funds was frozen per those stipulations. These and many other issues make this situation more complicated than can be covered in 1,000 words, but the message the Department of Justice is sending is sickening. If there were exceptions made because, as Eric Holder said, the banks were too big to prosecute, why can exceptions not be made for a charity orgonization changing the lives of at risk children?
The charity is not being run into the ground, nor is it wasting money on lavish parties and meetings–which is more than we can say for some of the administration. The need to hold back further funding is non-existant. There are over 100,000 children on the waiting list to participate in this program, according to Big Brothers Big Sisters, and every dollar held back extends the wait for these at risk children who desperately need a mentor.
Don't get me wrong; if taxes are going to be collected off the sweat and tears of hard working Americans, every single penny must be thoroughly accounted for. This is something Big Brother Big Sisters has already admitted and has promised to correct. The bigger issue here is they hypocrisy from our government. Because of the collective actions of Wall Street unemployment soared, hitting the lower class particularly hard. A new report shows almost 25% of all children in this country now live in poverty, putting even more children at an even higher risk, literally robbing opportunities from them. So for this the Justice Department decides not to punish the banks for their actions, but punish those who will work to clean up the mess the banks created. If I come across as overly passionate, I apologize. There have been very few times, including during my time overseas, that I have been ashamed to be an American. But if robbing at risk children means the government hands you money, and helping at risk children means they take it away, maybe we really are as bad as some people say.

16 Highfield RoadBramleyLeeds, LS13 2BLTel: 0113 2563250
Patients on long term medication can request repeat prescriptions from the surgery or a preferred chemist. Please hand deliver or post your repeat slip with the items clearly marked and allow a full 48 working hours* before collection. If you are using the postal service and want us to post the prescription back to you please remember to enclose a stamped addressed envelope.
If you are ordering via a chemist it is their responsibility to request and collect the prescription from the practice.
Alternatively you can now order online by following the link at the top of this page and completing a simple registration.
We regret that owing to the possibility of mistakes, we are unable to accept requests for repeat prescriptions by telephone, instead we require you to either post or deliver by hand a list of the required items to the surgery or to your preferred chemist. The chemist will be responsible for requesting and collecting your repeat prescription from the practice. The chemist will require your consent before the request can be processed for repeat prescriptions to be provided by the practice.
If your request for a repeat prescription is received by the Surgery on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday, prescriptions will generally be available for collection 48 hours later between 9.30am – 6pm (On Mondays we are open until 9.00pm) not including Wednesday 9.30 – 1pm. (not including weekends) Any repeat prescription handed in after 12:00 will automatically go forward to next day or any handed in after 12:00 Friday will be ready to collect on Wednesday. Repeat prescriptions can be sent and returned by post if accompanied by an SAE.
Extensive exemption and remission arrangements protect those likely to have difficulty in paying charges (NHS prescription and dental charges, optical and hospital travel costs). The NHS prescription charge is a flat-rate amount which successive Governments have thought reasonable for those who can afford to pay for their medicines. Prescription prepayment certificates (PPCs) offer real savings for people who need extensive medication.
These charges apply in England only. In Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales prescriptions are free of charge.
If you will have to pay for four or more prescription items in three months, or more than 14 items in 12 months, you may find it cheaper to buy a PPC.
There is further information about prescription exemptions and fees on the NHS website
Please allow 48 hours, excluding weekends and Bank Holidays, for your request to be processed. Any problems please telephone the surgery.
