Cleveland's Plotter maps out a victory at South by Southwest
By Scott Suttell
A Cleveland startup called
, a social mapping app, was one of the
Grand Prize winners
in the SXSW Accelerator program, part of the South by Southwest Interactive festival in Austin, Texas. Plotter won in the "social technologies" category. "If you want to know where to go once you arrive at your destination, Plotter (Social) has designed a social mapping app that lets you easily create, share, crowdsource and discover maps on your phone," according to the post on the South by Southwest blog announcing the winners. The post includes a photo of the Plotter staff.

that Chris Jungjohann, chief operating officer and co-founder of both Plotter LLC and Recess Creative, said his co-founder, Tom Nolan, came up with the idea a year ago while attending South by Southwest. "Friends of his had given him recommendations to check out bars and restaurants and he started thinking there's got to be a better way to do this," Mr. Jungjohann tells the newspaper. "There should be a way to map out multiple locations sourced from friends and bring it up on a mobile phone." The Plotter app is available now on Apple's iTunes store. It has started to get attention in the tech press;
March 8 story on Mashable.com provides a good overview of how Plotter works. Attention from the SXSW Accelerator program is a big deal.
The Plain Dealer
notes that in years past, winners have included now-familiar names such as Foursquare and Twitter.
Big decision
It turns out to be a good week for young Northeast Ohio tech companies. Lakewood Patch
— a company formerly known as CitizenGroove that moved to Lakewood last year — "is already looking to expand, thanks to a big boost from the Ohio Department of Development." The assistance, $750,000, comes from the state's Innovation Ohio Loan Fund, according to Lakewood Patch. DecisionDesk provides a network to allow music schools and universities to manage video applications. Lakewood Patch says there are seven employees at the company now, but the state money is expected to enable it to hire up to 38 people in the next two years. DecisionDesk also is expected to buy new machinery and equipment, as well as undertake "capitalizable" software development, according to the story. Lakewood Patch says more than 100 schools nationwide — including Julliard, the University of Michigan and Oberlin — use the DecisionDesk system.
As the Boy Scouts say: Be prepared
Mike Berlin, founder and a managing member of
, an e-commerce software company in Cleveland, writes a
helpful piece
on Forbes.com about the value of business leaders planning for a catastrophic health emergency. "We often watch as other people face health scares, family care challenges, or sudden accidents and think to ourselves, how terrible for them, but it will never happen to me," he writes. "I learned this lesson the hard way." Having suffered from Crohn's disease since his 20s, Mr. Berlin writes, "I should have seen something coming and planned for it. Yet I didn't. On Easter Sunday 2011, a fever of 106 degrees, caused by numerous serious side effects from my disease, landed me in the hospital for 30 days and snowballed into two surgeries, one of which took nine and a half hours, and an unexpected five-month absence from the company I founded." Mr. Berlin writes that he learned "four valuable lessons" from the experience:
Have difficult conversations now.
"Whether you're dealing with business partners, an executive management team, a board, or other key members of your organization, talk to all of them to determine who the company can and can't run without for an extended period. Having these difficult conversations now will allow you to develop an emergency operating plan to prepare for the five D's: death, disability, divorce, distress, and disagreement."
Get everything in writing.
"Although verbal agreements are nice and worked out for me — as it happened, my partner and I had had one of those difficult conversations just a week before I was hospitalized — I would still recommend that you put everything in writing, with good documentation and signed."
Ask the right questions.
They include: "Are the roles and responsibilities in my organization clearly documented?" and "Do people have the necessary items, like authorization to deposit money, pay people, have access to checks, sign agreements, access documents, or open the necessary doors?"
Carefully plan for your return.
"In my absence the company had had to get along without me, and it did. When it came time for me to return, I was out of the loop, and my reintegration was less smooth than it should have been. In fact it was very painful for many people within our organization, including me."

Balancing authenticity and holiness, plus Peter Hubbard dives deep to address same-sex attraction, and a listener wants to discern the marks of a true friend.

[23:51] -
Does God want you to be a mess? With the way some Christians talk about brokenness, sin, "getting real" and all the other catchphrases for Christian authenticity, you'd think messiness is the litmus test for mature faith. Sure, humility and an awareness of our depravity apart from Christ are important, but as Brett McCracken asked in his recent article, has "authenticity" trumped holiness? This week's panel talks about what it means to be real without clinging to either our sin or self-righteousness.
[25:16] -
Homosexuality and same-sex attraction aren't the easiest things to talk about in church. Whether they're treated as "super sins" or ignored altogether, the dialogue around these subjects has been cloudy on many counts. Pastor Peter Hubbard wants to change that. In his book Love Into Light, Peter draws from numerous conversations, bodies of research and biblical texts to clearly, comprehensively and lovingly dig into SSA and the hope-filled way today's churches should respond.
[5:13] -
Some friends come and go, but deep, lasting friendships require investment. Not only that, they require finding the right qualities in a person and then being a good friend in return. How can you make this happen? Counselor George Stahnke weighs in.

A spectrum of conditions ranging from a benign plasma cell hyperplasia to a highly malignant lymphoma of the small intestine.
Indwelling Pleural Catheters
A small catheter placed in the space around the lung (Pleural space) through a tunnel under the skin to drain fluid accumulated due to cancer and other diseases. This catheter can remain in the pleural space for an extended period of time (weeks to months) and can be used to drain the fluid as needed. The drainage is done at home, hospice or nursing home by the patient himself, family member or a visiting healthcare professional making the need for hospital visits or hospitalization unnecessary.
Causes infections.
Infectious Mononucleosis
A common, acute, usually self-limited infectious disease caused by the Epstein-Barr virus, characterized by fever, membranous pharyngitis, lymph node and splenic enlargement, lymphocyte proliferation, and the presence of atypical lymphocytes, and giving rise to various immune reactions, including the development of a transient heterophile and a persistent Epstein-Barr virus antibody response. Potential complications include hepatitis and encephalomeningitis. It affects primarily adolescents and young adults, being spread by saliva transfer and possibly other modes; in children the infection is largely subclinical. (Dorland, 27th ed)
The body's (immune system) protective response to an irritant. When there is injury or infection in the body the immune system responds and there is redness, warmth and swelling in the tissue. Chronic or long term inflammation causes the building of new connective tissue (thickening of the tissue) which can create many problems.
An acute viral infection involving the respiratory tract. It is marked by inflammation of the nasal mucosa, the pharynx, and conjunctiva, and by headache and severe, often generalized, myalgia.

They are interleukin-2-activated NK cells that have no MHC (major histocompatibility complex) restriction or need for antigen stimulation. LAK cells are used for adoptive immunotherapy in cancer patients.
Killer Cells, Natural
Cells responsible for spontaneous cytotoxicity of a variety of tumor cells without prior immunization. These natural killer cells are found in non-immune humans and experimental animals and are thought by some to be the same as KILLER CELLS (killing by antibody-dependent cell cytotoxicity), but they can also kill in the absence of antibody.
Kupffer Cells

Laryngeal Diseases
Disorders of the larynx, general or unspecified.
Laryngeal Edema
Edema of any region of the larynx from a variety of causes. In the earliest stages it may be difficult to differentiate from infection, although mucosal injection and erythema are found more often in the latter. Allergic edema may result as a response from provocation induced by foods, inhalants, and drugs. The entire respiratory tract or only an isolated portion of the larynx may be affected. Laryngeal edema may also be hereditary. Other possible causes of laryngeal edema include increased capillary pressure due to superior vena cava syndrome, intemal jugular vein ligation, lowered plasma osmotic failure induced by renal failure, impaired lymphatic flow, and increased capillary permeability to proteins. (From Paparella et al., Otolaryngology, 3d ed, p2253)
Laryngeal Mucosa
The mucous lining of the larynx; mainly stratified squamous epithelium in the upper part and ciliated columnar in the lower part of the larynx.

Spasm of the larynx.
Inflammation of the larynx. This condition presents itself with dryness and soreness of the throat, difficulty in swallowing, cough, and hoarseness.
Stricture or narrowing of the larynx. This condition may be developmental or acquired, with progressive respiratory difficulty as a symptom.
An irregularly shaped, musculocartilaginous tubular structure lined with mucous membrane, located at the top of the trachea and below the root of the tongue and the hyoid bone. It is the essential sphincter guarding the entrance into the trachea and functioning secondarily as the organ of voice.
Laser Bronchoscopy
A very powerful and precise tool to destroy tumor occluding the airways and to control bleeding in the airways.
Latex Allergy
Hypersensitivity to products containing processed natural rubber latex such as rubber gloves, condoms, catheters, dental dams, balloons, and sporting equipment. Both T-cell mediated (delayed hypersensitivity) and IgE antibody-mediated (immediate hypersensitivity) allergic responses are possible. Delayed hypersensitivity results from exposure to antioxidants present in the rubber; immediate hypersensitivity results from exposure to a latex protein.
Infections with bacteria of the genus Legionella

Leukocyte-Adhesion Deficiency Syndrome
Rare, autosomal recessive disorder caused by deficiency of the beta 2 integrin receptors comprising the CD11/CD18 family of glycoproteins. The syndrome is characterized by abnormal adhesion-dependent functions, especially defective tissue emigration of neutrophils, leading to recurrent infection.
White blood cells. These include granular leukocytes (BASOPHILS, EOSINOPHILS, and NEUTROPHILS) as well as non-granular leukocytes (LYMPHOCYTES and MONOCYTES).
Leukocytes, Mononuclear
Mature LYMPHOCYTES and MONOCYTES transported by the blood to the body's extravascular space. They are morphologically distinguishable from mature granulocytic leukocytes by their large, non-lobed nuclei and lack of coarse, heavily stained cytoplasmic granules.

Hyperlucency of one lung with decreased size and vascularity of the lung. It is often associated with BRONCHIOLITIS OBLITERANS and with adenovirus infection in childhood.
Lung volume -The total amount (volume) of gas in the lungs is subdivided into compartments. Tidal volume (VT or TV) is the volume of air that enters the lungs during inspiration and leaves the lungs during expiration. Functional residual capacity (FRC) is the volume of air that remains in the lungs at the end of a normal expiration. Total lung capacity (TLC) is the volume of air in the lungs after a maximal inspiration. Vital Capacity (VC) is the maximum volume of air that can be exhaled form the lungs after a maximum inspiration Residual volume (RV) is the volume of air remaining in the lungs after a maximum expiration.

Lupus Erythematosus, Systemic
A chronic, relapsing, inflammatory, and often febrile multisystemic disorder of connective tissue, characterized principally by involvement of the skin, joints, kidneys, and serosal membranes. It is of unknown etiology, but is thought to represent a failure of the regulatory mechanisms of the autoimmune system. The disease is marked by a wide range of system dysfunctions, an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and the formation of LE cells in the blood or bone marrow.
Lupus Nephritis
Glomerulonephritis associated with systemic lupus Erythematosus. It is classified into four histologic types: mesangial, focal, diffuse, and membranous.
A transparent, slightly yellow liquid of alkaline reaction, found in Iympahtic vessels and derived from the tissue fluids. Lymph is collected from all parts of the body and returned to the blood via the lymphatic system. (Dorland, 28th ed)
Lymph Nodes
Any of the accumulations of lymphoid tissue organized as definite lymphoid organs, varying from one to 25 mm in diameter, situated along the course of lymphatic vessels. The lymph nodes are the main source of lymphocytes of the peripheral blood and, as part of the reticuloendothelial system, serve as a defense mechanism by removing noxious agents, such as bacteria and toxins, and probably playa role in antibody production. (Dorland, 28th ed)
A tumor-like condition characterized by smooth muscle and endothelium proliferation of lymphatic vessels and lymph nodes in the mediastinum and retroperitoneum, also in the lung. It may be manifested by chylous pleural effusion and ascites.

How to Steal Material Part One/The New Switcharoo
How to Steal Material Without Getting Caught
PART ONE/ THE NEW SWITCHAROOReplacing Props
by Drew Richardson (November 2001)
1. Get a blank notebook and a not-blank pen. On the top of the first page write QUESTIONS, then somewhere in the middle of the notebook write IDEAS on the top of the page. Dog-ear this page so you can find it easily when you think of ideas to write down.
2. Question #1
"What other props can I use in place of the props in the gag?"
Write this down on the questions page.
List 10 different objects.
Or use these 10:
alarm clock
trash can
light bulb
wrapping paper
3. Pick an object from the list.
4. Replace one of the props from the example gag or your own chosen gag(hint: for this example its probably easiest to replace the coat hanger. On the other hand, your imagination may stretch more if you replace the coat. After some practice with this game, try replacing both props).
5. Act out the gag using the new prop or props. If you dont have the props or its technically impossible to pull a clock out of a banana, for example, pantomime the object or objects. If you dont have the space or privacy to act out the gag, visualize yourself performing it.
6. This improvisation session is akin to a game I played when I was a kid where I would quickly doodle an abstract squiggle, look at it, and add to the squiggle, trying to make it into something concrete: maybe it suggested a face or an airplane by its shape. By taking the gag out of its context, the new situation now needs a justification that can be achieved by physical doodlingBarry Lubin calls this action noodling.
7. Whenever an idea occurs to you, or just happens, write the idea down on the ideas page of your notebook. Sometimes the ideas will be flowing so fast that youll only have time to jot a keyword or two. Hopefully youll remember what the keyword meant. You might also want to have some kind of shorthand code for the question/exercise/prop this idea is related to. I personally like to number my ideas so I can reach a certain quota. The more ideas you list, the greater the chance youll come up with something useful.
What follows is a description of me playing this game using the example gag. You get to vicariously observe my process with all its repetitiveness, laziness, and blocks. I make no claims that great ideas were produced, but I did get ideas that I would like to build upon.
There are no such things as good or bad ideas, only developed or undeveloped ones.John Towsen
The Props
I decide to replace the coat hanger with a drumstick (the kind you play drums with, not the chicken leg.) There was no real reason behind choosing a drumstick except that I saw one nearby.
I will admit I am a little lazy. Instead of getting into costume with tailcoat, I just stick the drumstick down the back of my T-shirt. This causes a problem as the drumstick slides down my back and onto the floor. I eventually solve this annoyance by tucking in my shirt.
No Problems
But wait! This is no problem; this is the beginning of an idea, or at least a direction for further exploration. The situation is now about trying to keep a drumstick from sliding out from underneath my shirt. Although the gag needs development (i.e. context), its based in reality, and I have a special fondness for gags that come from life experiences.
Acting Out
Now that I have the drumstick in place, I begin to act out the gag pretty much as Bill Irwin performed it (except not as good): I am aware of an annoyance between my shoulder blades, so I wriggle, and then reach behind my neck as if to scratch an itch, and just as I reach for the drumstick, it drops down my back just out of reach!
Variations of the gag suggest themselves. What if I have more of a build up where the first couple of times the annoyance goes away and it isnt until the third time I pull out the drumstick. This gives the gag more of a rule-of-three structure. And what if (I like to phrase my ideas as what if questions; they appeal to my imagination.) as I reach for the drumstick I cant reach it, but as soon as I stop reaching, the drumstick drops out the bottom of my untucked shirt. With a tucked-in shirt I discover another comic moment: the fallen drumstick forms a shape as if I had a strange growth under my shirt.
Ask Why
To prod the process, I ask myself the question, why do I have this drumstick? To scratch my back, I answer. What if, when it looks like I am going to scratch, I pull out a backscratcher, which I then use to scratch the itch originally caused by the backscratcher found under my shirt.
Breaking Rules
Notice that I apparently broke the rules of the exercise by changing the prop. Is that so wrong? This is a game with bendable rules. Its getting the ideas that Im after.
Every moment has possibilitieseven or especially the mistakes (this is physical comedy after all). Sometimes we gloss over these moments in search of the best idea or to get to a preconceived bit, when we may have passed the seeds for many great routines without even noticing.
Ask What?
I perform the basic gag again. I pull out the drumstick and think, what am I going to do with this? I answer non-verbally by playing air drum with my right hand and drumstick. I notice my left hand feels empty and left out. My hips move as I get the idea to have a second drumstick in my pants and I pull out the drumstick to continue playing (your Freudian analysis of this gag can stop right now). And what if I was wearing a top hat that had a toy drum hidden inside. The theme of this gag? How the sad fool became happy.
Roadblocks and Speed bumps
At this point Im still having problems with the drumstick falling out of reach. I observe my reaction as frustration and note this as a useful character reaction. But Im starting to hate real-life gags (maybe comedy is only funny when it happens to someone else).
I decide to get my tailcoat, but I cant find it. I remember its downstairs and on my way I drink a glass of water and then another. I think maybe Ill stop now and eat lunch. No! I must persevere!
Before I put the drumstick behind the coat, I play around with the coat as if I were the object. Its a fun, short, and nearly meaningless diversion, and I note the idea for possible further exploration.
Luckily, diversions and distractions are a part of my process.
The coat turns out to be an improvement; the stick isnt slipping.
Ask Why Again
I ask myself, why are the sticks in the tailcoat? To play drums with, of course. Sometimes the obvious answer is the best answer. What if I discover a drum and coat onstage, and when I put on the coat, the drumsticks that were hidden in the sleeves appear in my hands. Im ready to play the drum.
I play around with this idea, note that this will take some practice and technical set-up, and I move on.
Ask How
But how did the drumstick get there in the first place? What onstage or offstage action justifies the situation? By justifying the gag and by creating context, I begin the long journey from doodle to finished painting.
To help keep my energy up, Im listening to music, specifically the Talking Heads. Caught up in the rhythms, I begin drumming on myself I hit my legs, my chest, my head, my shoulders, my head and shoulders, my upper back. What if one of the sticks falls down the back of my coat while Im getting into the music? There could be a brief moment before I notice the empty hand, and before I have time to think about where the drumstick has gone, I feel uncomfortable between my shoulder blades. I reach behind andthe drumstick drops again. Its underneath my coat and shirt. New idea: now I have to take off my clothes to get to the drumstick with all the comic possibilities inherent in that action. This is one of those times when the ideas are coming so quickly, I might miss one.
How else could the drumstick get under my coat? I use it to scratch my back (remember?) and lose my grip.
The supposedly solved problem of the slipping drumstick continues to plague me. I decide to play with the premise of dropping.
I wonder if I should videotape this in case I miss something.
I find the repetition fun as I put the stick under coat, have the stick drop before I can reach it, and pick it up, rinse and repeat. Im Sisyphus the Clown.
Dropping the drumstick down the back could be a solution for reaching those itches on the lower back. I also like gags that are creative solutions to problems and ones that are character discoveries.
Back on Track
Why else, I write to get myself back on trackwhich I dont have to dothats not the point of this game, but Ive done it, so
Why do I need this drumstick that has suddenly appeared? To hit someone or something. A dropped juggling ball, perhaps? What if the writhing anger transformed itself into the wriggling of something annoying me on my back, then I reach behind pull out the drumstick I need to express my anger. I attack the dropped juggling ball and all makes sense in a clown-logical way.
Music by Poi Dog Pondering is playing now. I do the twist. As soon as I stop, the drumstick drops to the floor. I know, déjà vu all over again, but you may notice how this game isnt all about progress and new ideas. Still I make note of dancing the twist as a small but nice development. The details count, too.
New Ideas
What if I went offstage with the intention of getting a coat and two drumsticks, and come back onstage with the coat on, but with only one drumstick in hand. The backstage story is that I put on the coat so fast that one of the sticks got lost in there.
This suggests to me the character of an absent-minded conductor, with a conductors baton replacing the drumstick.
Speaking of character, what if a character had a paranoid reaction to this drumstick? He might think, what else is back there? Or, somethings drumming on my back!
What if I tap my foot along to music playing, do a little dance, and the drumstick drops to the floor? Then what if I notice a cymbal onstage and think, I can use that drumstick.
Almost Finished
At this point I decide to quit this game as my ideas seem to be only slight variations on other ideas. I take off the coat, and immediately am struck with some more ideas. What if there was something sewn into the back of the coat like cardboard, or plywood or a drum machine, so that I could drape the coat on my lap and play the coat with the sticks?
What if I had a costume that didnt look out of the ordinary, but when taken apart became different instruments?
Notice how far the above idea is from the original coat hanger gag. This is the best way to steal without getting caught; the gag would be unrecognizable even to its creator
Sometimes I set a goal to follow a train of thoughts or a physical improvisation until I come up with one idea, or three ideas, or even ten. This discipline helps me to defeat the rational but often counter-creative tendency to quit when an exploration is "obviously" not working.
For fun, I try the hard part. Instead of replacing the coat hanger, I replace the coat with a drumstick. The new gag is now pulling a coat hanger out of a drumstick. My first impulse is that this is NOT POSSIBLE! QUIT NOW! STOP WASTING MY TIME! Yet think what I might miss
So I use my imagination to answer how and why. The immediate and easy solution to solving this impossible prop combination is to pantomime the props (or one of the props).
Prop Design
I come up with a sketch of a prop coat hanger whose top was wire, with a drumstick replacing the base (like the cardboard part of coat hangers one gets at the dry cleaners). This design suggests a sequence of events: Take coat off hanger. Remove drumstick from hanger. Fashion the wire into a musical triangle. Play triangle with drumstick.
Beside the fact that the wire will probably make no sound, I see this is really a case of taking a drumstick out of a coat hanger instead of the reverse. Good thing this exercise has bendable rules.
I could build a hollow drumstick out of which I pull wire, which I can then fashion into a coat hanger. I pantomime this idea and justify it as an absurd moment during a drum solo where I stop drumming, fashion the hanger, and hang up my coat because Im getting hot.
Maybe I could hang up a coat with two drumsticks positioned so they can hold the coat. While trying this out, I discover that just one stick holds up the shoulders of my coat, and can be placed on a doorknob without losing shape. I figuratively pulled a coat hanger out of a drumstick.
Now its time to justify this invention, but Im so proud of myself (you had to be there), I quit while Im ahead. But first I note pride as a character trait for this routine.
The End
Im amazed that over an hour has gone by already, because after a short period of struggling, I lost any sense of time passing. This was no chore. I resolve to work out like this more often, but a month after writing this, I don't.
Next: Part Two/Abstracting the Concept

Sailor Dress with Detachable Collar
Added Feb 2, 2012
Sacramento, Unit...
I used a navy blue stretch sateen bottom-weight fabric for the body and white cotton broadcloth for the tie. The collar is embellished with white grosgrain ribbon. I added a thin belt because, frankly, my inanimate model is not very sexy/curvy. A 22" coordinating zipper is in the back. The collar is a v-neck which has several snaps on the underside, attaching to the collar.
The detachable collar is such a great idea as, without the sailor collar, this dress would be perfect for office attire, paired with a blazer, cardigan or shrug. You can be a sailor or your own time!
I used Simplicity pattern #9236 that I used is not a bad pattern, overall. It is however, dated. Not that the sailor dress isn't but, 1970's was not the style I was angling for. Thus, I made small modifications to the tie; pointed at the ends instead of squared off. In round two, I suspect I will make a bandana size tie, forgoing this longer one altogether. It just doesn't fit in the "program".

text: Its early winter 2013, and the snow is already getting deep in the small coastal town of Thunder Cove. Things in this picturesque tourist town aren't exactly what they seem. Nothing in the world is what it seemed anymore, its as if the closer the world came to that fateful day on the Mayan calendar, the more the supernatural creatures of the world woke up and made their presence known. The fae are walking among us now, as are the old spirit guides and warriors of old Native American lore. The werewolf, vampire, and skinwalker populations have all taken a sudden rise, and the witches of old who had thought their powers lost to them have suddenly found themselves able to do magic again. The world hasn't ended, but its changing. Some say for the better, some say for the worst. In Thunder Cove, the population is split in half knowing that their town is a supernatural hot spot can make things difficult-- especially when the normal members of the population are part of the food chain.

Thanks to one of the many activities helping to raise money for Comic Relief around Red Nose Day, you could be followed on Twitter by a celebrity for at least 90 days. And even have a once in a lifetime experience with them.
Twitrelief is the brain child of two famous Emmas; Frued (@emmafreud) - scriptwriter, presenter and partner of director and Comic Relief vice-chair Richard Curtis - and Kennedy (@EmmaK67) - actress and one part of the awesome As it Occurs to me podcast with Richard Herring. They decided that one way to raise money for the charity would be to auction a "follow" from a celebrity to the highest bidder:
"Within days we had over a hundred celebrities on board, in fact everyone we asked (except for two) said yes," says Emma Kennedy. "The roll call was phenomenal - sexy Simon Pegg, gorgeous Matt Lucas, nation's sweetheart Davina McCall, nation's crumpet JLS, delicious Nick Frost, divine Leona Lewis, deeply fabulous David Baddiel, amazing Miranda Hart, diddy One Direction, speccy hearthrob Alan Carr, legendary Lauren Laverne, angelic James Corden - the list of people wanting to help out went on and on…"
And it certainly does, with Thandie Newton, Bill Nighy and Richard Curtis even agreeing to join Twitter just to follow their respective winning bidder.
It also gets even better, as everyone who is taking part will also add a once in a lifetime extra. Ruby Wax is offering the opportunity to watch her get botox; Gabby Logan is proposing a round of golf with her husband, rugby player Kenny Logan, plus lunch and, if she has two glasses of wine, she'll do the splits; and columnist Caitlin Moran will offer up an hour in the pub with a bottle of champagne, 20 Silk Cut and 16 of her best gossip stories - she'll also snog the winner if "they're not minging".
In addition, star of Peep Show Robert Webb is offering a monologue of a sketch or section from any of his TV shows, performed for the winner over a Skype video call; and co-conspirator Emma Freud herself is offering a walk-on part in Richard Curtis' next movie.
Indeed, there are plenty of other celebrities and extras involved, and they will be gradually appearing on the official Twitrelief eBay section for you to bid for. Each day, over the next 10, more celebs will be listed. And don't forget, while this all a bit of fun, all the money raised will be spent by Comic Relief to help people living unimaginably tough lives across the UK and Africa. It will save lives.
If you can't afford to bid (Emma Freud and her walk-on part is currently at £1,570 with nine days left to go - and will probably be even higher by the time you've finished reading this sentence), please at least retweet #twitrelief and spread the message. Every little thing helps.
One last thing, our favourite extra that we've heard so far has to be from comedian and perpetual tweeter David Schneider. As well as follow his winner on Twitter, he'll also physically "follow" someone (at an agreed distance) for an hour. Made us laugh until Coco Pops came out of our noses at that one.
Leaving us with red ones. Fitting.

Butternut squash has been one of my greatest challenges. For some reason, it always left a bitter and overpowering flavor in my mouth. I've tried making recipes from butternut squash lasagna to slathering it with buckets of honey (well, not quite but I gave it a go). My palate rejected it, but I didn't give up.
Foodbuzz Blogger Festival, in San Francisco. I've only shared a handful of the 200 plus photos. I'm holding back uploading them, for fear you've seen enough. However, there was a tasting of these two products at the Tyler Florence Booth at the Taste Pavilion-- which is were 350 food bloggers (including lucky "me") spent last Saturday. We were at the Metreon Theater in San Francisco to sample lots of sweet and savory dishes from purveyors. I stopped at the Tyler Florence booth and this is what I saw...
Roasted Carrot-Ginger Soup, I decided that roasting the squash and the apples might kick up the flavor a few notches. I do think that roasting vegetables brings out a nuttier and richer flavor. So, that's what I decided to do:
Apple Peeler-Corer-Slicer! In 10 seconds I peeled two apples. One was a Granny Smith and the other was a Gala apple. I drizzled a little olive oil but decided not to season them. I like to add garlic to most of my homemade soups. But I didn't want the garlic to overpower the flavor I was hoping my soup would be. So, I wrapped 4 cloves of garlic and drizzled with a little bit of olive oil. I wrapped the garlic with foil and stuck it on the same baking sheet as the apples. Why two baking sheets? I guessed the the squash would take longer to become fork tender. The squash and garlic was roasted at 375F for about 20 minutes. The apples got 15 minutes.
shortbread crackers, which were outstanding, too!
I thank Tyler Florence's delicious soup sample that trained my palate to LIKE butternut squash. Next, I plan to replicate a salad that was made the Foodbuzz Blogger Festival. It had-- gasp-- goat cheese. That was another aversion of mine, and our hometown local chef (Todd Fisher) made me a believer that goat cheese is good!
I'll be working on Fakesgiving recipes to enjoy for the next couple of weeks. I've decided, this year, to go out to a restaurant (where my son happens to work) to let someone else do the cooking and cleaning. That doesn't mean I won't be making some of our favorite holiday recipes so that we don't miss out on our own pumpkin pies and I can always roast a turkey breast for sandwiches.
As always, a printable recipes is at the bottom of the post.

Honey, Can You Check on the Bird?
With his charming grin, it's almost hard to get mad at him.
Unless of course he's just eaten your favourite feathered friend.
Still, you can't blame him for following his instinct. He is an Avieater, after all, and it's in his nature.
He uses his teeth and feet to pry open the strongest cages to get at his next meal.
He is able to unhinge his jaw and open his mouth extremely wide, often swallowing his prey whole, leaving behind only a few feathers.
Despite his somewhat unnerving hunting practice of wild fowl and beloved winged pets, he's generally a harmless little critter who seeks to satisfy his gluttonous desires.
This fella is my first venture into the world of faux fur and creating a fluffy bit of monster fun. His face, feet and horns are paperclay painted with acrylics. And if you count the cage he's in, he's probably the tallest piece too at over 2 feet tall.
He's already been adopted and has found a new home on the west coast. There are reports they may name him "Smug", which I think fits him fine.
I've included a few more images below for your viewing pleasure.

Friends of the High Line is developing a series of principles for the treatment of the High Line at the rail yards. We strongly urge the MTA to make the following principles a requirement for the selected rail yards developer. The developers' proposals demonstrate that all of these principles are feasible. We look forward to working with the selected developer to incorporate these principles in the final development of the site.
This is a draft. We'd like to hear your comments on how you'd like to see the High Line treated at the rail yards.
1. Preserve the entire historic High Line structure, including the section along 12th Avenue and the spur to – and over – Tenth Avenue. The majority of the proposals have demonstrated that this approach is both feasible and preferred.
2. The High Line should have a consistent design identity along its entire length from Gansevoort Street to 34th Street. The High Line at the rail yards should be treated with the same design vocabulary established by the High Line design team for Sections 1 and 2.
3. The High Line structure should be distinct from adjacent structures, as it is south of 30th Street. There should be some separation between the High Line and the adjacent structures on both 30th Street and 12th Avenue. The interior and exterior High Line railings should be maintained throughout. Buildings under the High Line should engage the structure in diverse ways, with a variety of building forms, with at least 25% of the High Line's underside visible and open to the space below.
4. Access: Connections to the High Line should be made at multiple points, both to the platform and to grade at 30th Street. These connections should be made at discrete points, similar to the proposed connections in Section 1 and 2. However, a wider connection would be appropriate at the cultural facility and at the terminus of Hudson Boulevard.
5. The 30th Street View Corridor must remain open and unobstructed. Buildings should not be allowed to cantilever over the High Line along 30th Street. Cantilevers over the High Line along 12th Avenue are acceptable.
6. The continuation of the High Line on the 33/34 Block should be anticipated. The High Line public open space should continue, unobstructed, to the point where it currently meets street grade at 34th Street.

The possible role of cranio-cervical trauma and abnormal CSF hydrodynamics in the genesis of Multiple Sclerosis
– Source: Physiological Chemistry and Physics & Medical NMR, Sep 20, 2011
By Raymond V Damadian and David Chu
[Note: To read the full text pdf of the article abstracted below, which discusses observation of a process involved in at least the cases of multiple sclerosis included in this study, go to www.physiologicalchemistryandphysics.com/pdf/PCP41_damadian.pdf. Interestingly, the observed cerebrospinal fluid flow obstruction was worse in the upright than the prone position.]
UPRIGHT® Multi-Position™ MR scanning has uncovered a key set of new observations regarding Multiple Sclerosis (MS), which observations are likely to provide a new understanding of the origin of MS.
The new findings may also lead to new forms of treatment for MS.
The UPRIGHT® MRI has demonstrated pronounced anatomic pathology of the cervical spine [vertebrae of the neck] in five of the MS patients studied and definitive cervical pathology in the other three. The pathology was the result of prior head and neck trauma.
All eight MS patients entered the study on a first come first serve basis without priority, and all but one were found to have a history of serious prior cervical trauma which resulted in significant cervical pathology. The cervical pathology was visualized by UPRIGHT® MRI.
• Upright cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cinematography and quantitative measurements of CSF velocity, CSF flow and CSF pressure gradients in the upright patient revealed that significant obstructions to CSF flow were present in all MS patients.
• The obstructions are believed to be responsible for CSF "leakages" of CSF from the ventricles [structures in the brain containing crebrospinal fluid] into the surrounding brain parenchyma [nerve tissue] which "leakages" can be the source of the MS lesions in the brain that give rise to MS symptomatology. The CSF flow obstructions are believed to result in increases in intracranial pressure (ICP) that generate "leakages" of the CSF into the surrounding brain parenchyma.
• In all but one MS patient, anatomic pathologies were found to be more severe in the upright position than in the recumbent position.
• Similarly, CSF flow abnormalities were found to be more severe in the upright position than in the recumbent position in all but one MS patient.
Images of the MS patient anatomic pathologies and CSF flow abnormalities are provided with comparison images from normal examinees in Figures 1–15.

The latest on Section 3 of the High Line: a cameo in the new film, Catfish, now in theatres.
Catfish—both a documentary and a mystery—follows the long-distance friendship between Yaniv Schulman, a photographer in New York City, and Abby, an eight-year-old fan in suburban Michigan.
The film begins with Abby's discovery of one of Schulman's photographs in the New York Sun, published alongside Erica Orden's review of the film, NYExport: Opus Jazz. The photograph, which captures a beautiful point in "Passage for Two," (the scene from Opus Jazz that was filmed on the High Line at the Rail Yards) inspires Abby to create a painting and send it to Schulman.
We'll be good sports and let you discover the rest of Catfish yourself, but we will say this: Opus Jazz and the High Line at the Rail Yards continue to inspire.

PRE PACK BANKRUPTCY: Cesare Paciotti has been shifting its focus from the Italian market to a more international one, following the insolvency of a number of its wholesale accounts, which has led the footwear brand to ask for what it dubbed a "pre-pack chapter 11" on Dec. 30.
"Unfortunately, in 2012 Italy accounted for 58 percent of company sales," said company executive Marco Calcinaro, adding that Russia and the Far and Middle East have since grown to help exports account for almost 60 percent in 2013. Paciotti already counts 10 boutiques in the Far East and eight more are expected to open in 2014 in the region of the Zeijang. Calcinaro said the company is set on providing "continuity," without letting go of any employees. The firm is controlled by the family, which is planning a restructuring operation through a capital infusion. There are no changes expected in the company's structure.

Intensify lifestyle therapy and optimize glycemic control for patients with elevated triglyceride levels (≥150 mg/dL [1.7 mmol/L]) and/or low HDL cholesterol (<40 mg/dL [1.0 mmol/L] for men, <50 mg/dL [1.3 mmol/L] for women). C
In adults with diabetes, it is reasonable to obtain a lipid profile (total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides) at the time of diagnosis, at the initial medical evaluation, and at least every 5 years thereafter in patients under the age of 40 years. In younger patients with longer duration of disease (such as those with youth-onset type 1 diabetes), more frequent lipid profiles may be reasonable. A lipid panel should also be obtained immediately before initiating statin therapy. Once a patient is taking a statin, LDL cholesterol levels should be assessed 4–12 weeks after initiation of statin therapy, after any change in dose, and on an individual basis (e.g., to monitor for medication adherence and efficacy). In cases where patients are adherent but the LDL cholesterol level is not responding, clinical judgment is recommended to determine the need for and timing of lipid panels. In individual patients, the highly variable LDL cholesterol–lowering response seen with statins is poorly understood (
Stuart Weitzman Midland oVYHl4r
). Clinicians should attempt to find a dose or alternative statin that is tolerable, if side effects occur. There is evidence for benefit from even extremely low, less than daily statin doses ( 51 ).
In adults not taking statins or other lipid-lowering therapy, it is reasonable to obtain a lipid profile at the time of diabetes diagnosis, at an initial medical evaluation, and every 5 years thereafter if under the age of 40 years, or more frequently if indicated. E
Obtain a lipid profile at initiation of statins or other lipid-lowering therapy, 4–12 weeks after initiation or a change in dose, and annually thereafter as it may help to monitor the response to therapy and inform adherence. E
For patients of all ages with diabetes and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, high-intensity statin therapy should be added to lifestyle therapy. A
For patients with diabetes aged <40 years with additional atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk factors, the patient and provider should consider using moderate-intensity statin in addition to lifestyle therapy. C
For patients with diabetes aged 40–75 years A and >75 years B without atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, use moderate-intensity statin in addition to lifestyle therapy.
In clinical practice, providers may need to adjust the intensity of statin therapy based on individual patient response to medication (e.g., side effects, tolerability, LDL cholesterol levels, or percent LDL reduction on statin therapy). For patients who do not tolerate the intended intensity of statin, the maximally tolerated statin dose should be used. E

If your child is overweight, he or she may need to lose weight (or stay at the same weight and not gain more). This depends on his or her age, development, and other risk factors.
Physical activity is extremely important. It helps the body use insulin correctly and helps control weight. Your child does not have to start a rigorous exercise program, but being more active can help control blood sugar. For example, your child could play outside with friends, take brisk walks with family members, and take part in individual or team sports.
Experts recommend that teens and children (starting at age 6) do moderate to vigorous activity at least 1 hour every day.

And 3 or more days a week, what they choose to do should:
It's okay for them to be active in smaller blocks of time that add up to 1 hour or more each day.
Limit your child's screen time. Have your child take breaks from computer, cell phone, and TV use and be active instead.
Your child may need medicines if eating healthy meals and getting regular physical activity have not lowered your child's blood sugar to his or her target level.
Your child's blood sugar level may need to be checked regularly, for example, before breakfast and 2 hours after meals.
If your child has high blood pressure or high cholesterol, those conditions need to be treated.
Some children have very high blood sugar levels when they are diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. A child with a very high blood sugar level may develop the serious chemical imbalance diabetic ketoacidosis and need to be treated with insulin in a hospital. After blood sugar returns to a target level, the child usually no longer needs insulin. His or her own body may start making enough insulin again.
Treating diabetes with medicine increases the risk for

episodes. Your child's doctor will determine the target range for your child's blood sugar that will prevent damage from diabetes while causing as few low blood sugar episodes as possible.
The lifestyle changes needed to control diabetes can be especially hard for a child or teen. Your child will have a better chance of being successful if the whole family is involved. Eating a healthy diet and getting regular exercise may help other family members avoid diabetes.
Teens who have depression or an eating disorder may have difficulty keeping their blood sugar at a healthy level. Also, teens who smoke or use alcohol or other drugs have problems with blood sugar control. Support groups may help teens deal with diabetes management issues, which can improve the teens' perception of diabetes care and blood sugar control.
Healthy meals, physical activity, and weight control can help prevent diabetes or can prevent or delay complications if your child has diabetes. A registered dietitian can help you build a healthy meal plan for your child. Your doctor, exercise specialist, or certified diabetes educator also can help your child find ways to become more physically active.
Call a doctor if your child:
Check with your doctor if your child:
Watchful waiting is a period of time during which you and your doctor observe your child's symptoms or condition without using medical treatment. Watchful waiting is not appropriate if:
Most doctors can diagnose diabetes. After your child has been diagnosed, your doctor will work with you to build a treatment plan that fits your child's needs. Health professionals who may be involved in the treatment of children with type 2 diabetes include:
Many children have no symptoms before they are diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.
If a doctor suspects that your child may have type 2 diabetes, he or she will do a medical history, physical exam, and blood glucose testing. If the results of these tests meet the criteria for diagnosing diabetes established by the American Diabetes Association (ADA), your child has diabetes.
If it is hard to tell whether your child has type 2 or type 1 diabetes, your doctor may do a C-peptide test or test for autoantibodies. (Autoantibodies are produced when the body's immune system does not work right.) For example, many people with type 1 diabetes produce the autoantibody zinc transporter 8 (ZnT8Ab). People with type 2 diabetes do not produce ZnT8Ab. These tests may not be able to confirm the type of diabetes your child has. Getting a definite diagnosis may take months or years. In either case, your child's sugar levels will need to be controlled right away.
Because your child is at risk for diabetes complications (eye, heart, kidney, nerve, liver, and blood vessel problems), he or she needs to see a doctor regularly for tests to monitor type 2 diabetes .
If your child is overweight and gets little or no exercise, he or she may be at

. Early detection and treatment for type 2 diabetes can prevent or delay problems from the disease.
Treatment of type 2 diabetes in children focuses on keeping blood sugar levels within a target range . Children may need higher blood sugar goals than adults, because their bodies are still developing. Also, they may not be able to recognize symptoms of low blood sugar . To reach his or her target blood sugar, your child needs to eat healthy meals of appropriate portion size and get daily exercise. Treatment also may include medicine.
A healthy diet with the right amount of calories will help your child achieve target blood sugar levels and maintain a healthy weight. The meal plan designed for your child will spread carbohydrates (starches and sugary foods) throughout the day. This helps prevent high blood sugar after meals as well as weight gain . A registered dietitian can design a meal plan that not only fits your child's needs but also is a healthy eating plan for your family. For more information, see the topic Healthy Eating for Children .

Terran Strategies in StarCraft 2 are difficult to master because the Terran race has the most abilities and skills of all of the races. In addition, Terran units are mostly ranged; they require the most micro to perform well. The Terran strategy guide will teach you step by step tips on how to use specific units, abilities and tactics. The race has many unique abilities such as repairing damaged structures and calling down mules. In addition, many interesting tactics and strategies involve a defensive mindset. To be a good Terran player, they not only need to know the units very well, but also the positioning and usage of defensive structures such as blockades, bunkers and missile turrets. Whether you like the unit Marine, Siege Tank, BattleCruiser, or any other unit, Check out Terran strategy guide and the Starcraft 2 Terran overview
With all these changes from Starcraft 1, it is hard to say which Starcraft 2 Terran strategy works the best. As blizzard balances each race with new patches, we will start to see different strategic play styles of Terran. Whether a Terran player wants to be aggressive or defensive, there are plenty of abilities, units and buildings to fulfill both.

'Chronos Twins' plays on the concept of time travel in a reassuringly unique manner as it is interwoven as a main game play element. To successfully complete levels, players will maneuver through an area and work within the limitations of each time period in a side-scrolling environment. The goal is to control both the present-time hero while exploring the planet to defeat alien threats. Both time periods are fully visible through a split-screen engine that displays the past and present versions of the exact same location.
"To publish Chronos Twins worldwide is a massive coup for us "said Emily Booty, Sales and Marketing Director for Lexicon "we have promised what we said in delivering quality products and with Bad Day: LA and now Chronos Twins we are moving in the right direction. We are speaking with a variety of partners with regards to distribution in all territories and we hope to have this tied up soon, we are willing to listen to offers from a variety of companies worldwide'
"We are delighted that Chronos Twins will be published worldwide by Lexicon" added Julio Moruno Fernandez from developer EnjoyUP "Lexicon have acted in a first class manner throughout discussions and we are excited about the release"
Chronos Twins is scheduled for a Q1 2007 release at £24.99.

On our Sirius radio show a few weeks back, we got a question about a rule that calls for matching your stockings to your shoes. Our response was a resounding "Huh?" — not only had we never heard of such a rule, but we thought it might come off in a weirdly retro, mod-gone-manic sort of way. The look is a tad Old World, to say the least, and awfully restrictive for day-to-day life. But, when it comes to a styling trick to tweak your ladylike heels into slightly bizarre territory (which is something we're always up for), we think it's just the thing. Need evidence? Take a peek at the Jonathan Saunders runway for inspiration.
Taupe hose was paired with taupe pumps, nude stockings with nude booties, berry socks with berry heels, and dark gray tights with dark gray zip-ups. The effect was an off-kilter moment of matchy-matchiness that felt fresh, not geriatric. Of course, there were non-coordinated moments, too, but since we all have a pair (or five) of neutral-toned heels in our closet, this new-again styling tip is easy to recreate at home. As for the rest of the shoes, the sparkly, super-high Louboutins drew mixed reviews, but we liked the fashion-is-fun feel of the deliberately mismatched look. We would recommend knocking off an inch (or even two) from that heel height for walking's sake, though.
Coats were another strong point and the parade of lovely options made any holes in our own closet blatantly obvious. Every girl needs a long, printed statement topcoat, a pretty bomber jacket, a to-the-floor wool duster, and a guys-inspired boxy jacket, we've come to learn. And, seeing them all together in what's possibly the coolest-ever jacket collection gave us total topper envy. As usual, Saunders' beautiful sweaters stole the show, proving to work as well paired with glittering skirts and stilettos as they do with just jeans and sneakers. Click through to see a few stand-out images from the runway plus a couple close-ups of the hose-on-shoe double-downs.
