3D printing workshop? anyone interested?
I've been thinking of doing a 3d printing workshop for a little while now and wondering if it would get and reception.
We would be talking about
- Where to find models, and if they will print
- How to use Slic3r
- how to prep your printer and Install different filament
- Troubleshooting
- Cleaning up your prints/ Post processing
Vaughn Design Lab
Absolutely - lets get this scheduled and posted asap!
@Vaughn Wondering when I should schedule this.

I would try for a Tuesday night. We talked about this at the clay space meeting and it seemed that if you wanted to make something that was going to take more than one day we should do it on a Tuesday. Wednesday is free for people to follow up. If they don't like the crowding then they can buy a membership.
@Grant-Fraser Should I charge non-members and if so how much?
Tuesday I am free
I'd be all over taking a 3D printing workshop.
@ColeVanD, I think that you should charge both members and nonmembers. I would recommend $5 for members and $40 for non-members. This is something that I would encourage for all workshops.
The token charge to members signals that your time is important and valuable, and will weed out anyone that is not serious about learning the skills that you are teaching. People do sign up for workshops just because they are free, and this doesn't always add to the success of the workshop.
If you decided to do this, you could pocket the $5/head, you could use it to get some materials/refreshments for the workshop, or you could donate it to the space. Or anything else, including a combination of the above.
$40 for non-members has been pretty standard for a 1-3 hour workshop with low material costs.
Vaughn Design Lab
Tuesday is a good idea - how about Tuesday 27th of June and Tuesday 18th July?
Need to give plenty of lead time for people to plan…
Thanks @ColeVanD !
I saw the post about a workshop on facebook but was wondering how we sign up for it. I'd like to attend and potentially bring my father in law (and get him a month of membership).
@Cindos Come in and talk to me or any other paying member. We will get you situated.
Hey Cole. I'm already a member . Was just thinking of getting my father in law signed up for a membership to. Most of these usually have either a post that people sign up on or an event they sign up on if there is limited space. If that isn't the case with this one do we just confirm with you if we are coming?
I'm in

We really missed the boat in not doing some sort of Father's day event didn't we? Maybe next year.
@pierre Good guess. it's actually a Father's Day present.

Here is the application form for Workshops so that all the important and relevant information gets collected and events can be added to the calendar and Facebook.
I am interested! Can you add me to the list for Tuesday June 27th?
@pierre Fathers day 3D scans? Lol Next year
@Beth Sure
Whats the best way to pay for tonights workshop? E-transfer? Cold hard cash? Cryptocurrency
Also the Facebook page says 5pm, the forum calendar says it starts at 6pm?
5 or 6 tonight?

Kosher? I Don't Think So!
How strange is this? This is the very plant that hired illegal aliens, then allowed them to be hauled into buses and taken to makeshift prisons, while escaping any punishment as a corporation. This is the plant where young men and women, fathers and mothers, labored. This is a plant that advertises itself as processing Kosher meats.

Lucy Hale thinks cyber-bullying is worse than being harassed in real life.
The Pretty Little Liars actress was taught at home so didn't attend high school, previously confessing she dislikes the routine and structure of class. Although she wasn't around other children all the time she knows how harrowing teasing can be and worries about the effect of online name calling.
"There's something about cyber bullying that's scarier than real-life bullying, because people can hide behind their computer screen. I'm 24 and pretty secure with who I am, so I try to brush it off. But, you know, sometimes it stings a little," she told Company magazine.
Lucy enjoyed learning at home, especially as it allowed her to pursue her acting career. She has previously said she has no regrets about her upbringing, but now seems to be rethinking that.
"I was home-schooled from the age of 15, which is when I moved out to LA, and, sure, I have days when I wonder if I missed out. Some days, I wish I had wanted to be a teacher – my sister is one and she's super proud of me. I think having a supportive family makes everything OK and keeps you grounded," she explained.
As well as acting, Lucy is a budding musician. She has been working on an album of country music and is looking forward to it hitting stores all over the world. However, she is prepared for some people to be negative about her dual career.
"That's pretty much my biggest fear, actually. But then, if people know me from the show and that's why they give my music a go, then that's great. I've kept quiet about it until the album was done to avoid the clichés as long as possible, but I'm ready for it now – and the music can speak for itself," she said

BOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts Sens. Scott Brown and John Kerry are honoring a retired U.S. Navy captain for his service, bravery and life-saving efforts in the Korean War.
The two senators commended former captain and Massachusetts resident Thomas Hudner after a Tuesday ceremony where a U.S. Navy destroyer ship was named after him. Hudner is the last living Korean War Medal of Honor recipient from the Navy.
"When Captain Hudner crash-landed his own aircraft to save the life of his wingman, he would tell you he was just 'doing his job,' Brown said in a statement. "In fact, Captain Hudner went above and beyond the call at unimaginable risk to his own life to help his fellow sailor. Today, I join many citizens in Massachusetts and across the country in extending heartfelt gratitude to Captain Hudner and his family as he is recognized with this rare honor for his incredible courage and personal sacrifice."
Hudner received the honor for crashing his own aircraft in an effort to save his wingman Ensign Jesse Brown, the Navy's first African-American aviator to fly in combat.
"I couldn't be happier and it's especially poignant heading into Memorial Day when you think hard about words like service and sacrifice," Kerry said in a statement. "You hardly ever see the Navy do this for a living veteran, but then again the Medal of Honor recipients are a sacred group unto themselves. It's a particularly fitting honor for Captain Hudner. He gives life to the term hometown hero. Ray Mabus gets it, and he understands what this means to a Fall River native, Korean and Vietnam War Veteran, and Medal of Honor recipient."
In April, Brown and Kerry penned a letter to Navy Secretary Ray Mabus, requesting that the Navy name a ship after the retired captain.
The full text of that letter is below.
April 12, 2012
The Honorable Ray Mabus
Secretary of the Navy
1000 Navy Pentagon
Washington, DC 20350-1000
Dear Secretary Mabus,
We write to strongly endorse a recommendation you received on April 11, 2012, which proposed naming a U.S. Navy ship for Medal of Honor recipient and Massachusetts resident Captain (retired) Thomas J. Hudner. Doing so would serve as both a fitting and lasting tribute to the selfless actions of Captain Hudner, as well as his wingman and the Navy's first African American aviator, Ensign Jesse L. Brown.
Based on your January 30, 2012 remarks at Harvard University, it is clear to us that you have a special appreciation for the service of Captain Hudner and Ensign Brown. Further, we realize and appreciate that the Navy very rarely names ships for living persons. However, since the 1970s there have been eleven vessels named for individuals who were still living when the name was officially announced. We assert that commemoration of the service and sacrifices of these two wingmen is more than worthy of an exception to the standard practice.
We are very proud to endorse our constituent's recommendation to name a naval vessel for Captain Hudner. Thank you for your full and fair consideration of our request. We look forward to your response.
United States Senator United States Senator

Mary's Family Restaurant [Breakfast Special]
While I have never been to Mary's Family Restaurant on Richmond (until today), I have been to the Mary's on Oneida on a number of occasions. For all practical purposes, both are essentially identical. However, this time I did not go for the low-fat "bird food" breakfast and instead opted for something a little more substantial. Oh, and I nearly forgot to mention this was another great THRIVE Coffee Tuesday morning! We had roughly a dozen people show up, including a couple of new faces.
Jealous of My Neighbor's Waffle
I had a bit of a jealous moment. It's not like there was anything wrong with what I ordered, but my neighbor sat down and immediately ordered a waffle with strawberries and whipped cream with a side of ham. I don't know about the ham part, but damn, did that waffle/strawberry/cream combo look tasty. Back here in my world, I opted for a breakfast special as shown on the table tent below. The early morning breakfast specials on the table tent are different from the specials shown in the menu. In this particular instance, the special was two eggs, two pieces of French toast, and your choice of sausage or bacon for $4.49. I went with turkey sausage in a futile attempt to make an ever so slightly healthier breakfast.
The easy over eggs were done well. No overcooked yolks and no runny white stuff (gross). The turkey sausage was also well done; perhaps a bit dry, but tasty none-the-less. Of course, the highlight of the meal was the French toast, which was two thick cut slabs of bread that were lightly coated in egg and topped with cinnamon sugar. The cinnamon sugar with a dab of butter made the toast perfect, so there wasn't even any need for a pile of syrupy calories to add to the already high-calorie combo that graced my plates. Yes, plural. Everything I ordered for breakfast didn't even fit on a single plate. Shame.
The service was also pretty good. We didn't have to wait long to order or get our food. We didn't have to wait around forever to get the check (another one of my many pet peeves). Also, the coffee thermos never ran dry and almost everybody this morning had coffee.
Redemption (Sort Of)
Feeling a smidge guilty, I decided to head to High Cliff State Park in Sherwood to walk off some of the hearty breakfast (and the 98,000 calories and three pounds of salt I ate over the weekend). My CardioTrainer logged 1 hour 37 minutes of walking time, 5.29 miles, 3.2 MPH average speed, and 701 calories burned. By all rights, I should be getting my butt out of this office and taking another 700 or 800 calorie walk. But, eh, maybe tomorrow.

Angela Lansbury was named a Dame of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth this week as part of a yearly New Years' Honors List comprised every year. Lansbury--queen of both live theater, films and the small screen--is best known for her role on Murder, She Wrote. The 88-year-old was recognized by the queen for her charitable work and philanthropy.
"This is awarded for having a major contribution in any activity, usually at national level. Other people working in the nominee's area will see their contribution as inspirational and significant, requiring commitment over a long period of time," the official British government explanation of the honor bestowed upon Angela Lansbury reads.
A press release accompanying this year's honorees says the following about Lansbury.
"Angela Lansbury Shaw has worked tirelessly carrying out extensive and wide-ranging charitable, voluntary and philanthropic work over many years to support organizations helping to improve the lives of many people.
"With selfless determination and generosity of spirit she has willingly lent her prominence and popularity, raising large sums of money for numerous charities including scholarships for young students and support for medical research.
"An accomplished actress, Angela Lansbury is well-known for her long and successful acting career and many achievements in the entertainment industry where she has repeatedly given back and helped others, including working with younger people to inspire the next generation of actors."
Angela Lansbury was nominated for one Academy Award. She is the recipient of six Golden Globes. She received four Tony Awards and numerous Emmy Award nominations. Do you suppose after winning all these awards for her acting that being named a dame ranks anywhere near as high?
Congratulations to Angela Lansbury on her new title. You have to admit--she makes one very classy dame!

Our Final British Installment
Here it is a new year and all of the celebrations have been wrapped up and it should be quiet for a while. Let's take a look. New Year's Day was a lot of fun. We got to watch the Cotton Bowl (thank you ESPN) and set up for a farewell party for the Cardalls (our Visitor Center Directors). We billed the event as a Senior Couple Social Activity – however we pulled a little sneaky one. We wanted to get to know everyone better so we handed out a slip of paper requesting each couple to give a spiritual experience. On all of the papers, except the one given to the Cardall's, we asked for a reminder of a spiritual memory relating to the Cardall's. On the one slip given to the Cardall's it only stated "share a mission moment". It was a great send off for this amazing Visitor Center Director couple.
|Royal Albert Hall / Now with Ice
|Nutcracker on Ice
Things were really quiet for the first few days of January. We decided to trek out to Greenwich for the tour that we missed the first time we were there. It was a very pleasant trip. We were able to take the train to Canary Warf and then we walked through the tunnel under the Thames River.
|Portraying John Willis Owner of Cutty Sark
We spent a few hours exploring the Cutty Sark, a memorialized sailing ship noted for its speed records in delivering tea from China and British goods around the globe. We walked briefly through the Maritime Museum and then climbed to the Observatory at the top of the Greenwich peninsula. At the Observatory there were a number of interesting things to do and see such as the Time Meridian Line. We have a picture of Afton standing in two different time zones.
|Afton, Stetched across The Prime Meridian
|Greenwich Opservator
On the top of the observatory, there is a ball that each day is raised to the top of the tower at 12:55 pm and precisely at 1:00pm it is dropped. This was a means of ships sailing the Thames River into and out of London to get a precise setting of time for their shipping navigation. We toured the clock rooms, the instrument rooms, and saw some of the very early clocks and timepieces designed for use at sea with special ways designed into them to overcome the ships movements and magnetic effects of the earth. Early telescopes were used with the goal of setting better ways to measure time and location.
One afternoon, our London Hyde Park Stake SR Specialist dropped in to our Model Resource Centre. He never just drops in, but on Jan 22nd, Daniil did. Turns out that working with lasers and very cutting edge technology is not keeping him busy enough so he was applying for a weekend job at the National Science Museum across from the HP Centre. He had had one interview and was waiting for the result and possibly for a second interview the same day. It was good to have him drop in, but we have found these things never happen just by chance. As Daniil was there visiting with us, three new clients came and they all needed help. They were looking for jobs and support in preparing their C.V.'s (equivalent to a resume'). The Lord always knows when we need help and he sends it just in time to keep the work moving forward. We were each able to help one of the three and give them direction on finding employment.
During January, we were able too visit one of London's unique wonders. This is the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir – Hindu Temple. It is properly known as the Neasden Temple.
In just 2½ years, 5,000 tons of
Italian marble and the finest Brazilian limestone were hand-carved and then
shipped to London to assemble this Hindu Temple. It is all stacked together like Legos to fit
perfectly (no mortar) and it was assembled on site in London. It is a regular place of worship for Hindu
followers and we were allowed to visit the interior and the shrines. (No pictures allowed inside). The intricate carved arch ways and the
formation of the shrines and walls was really very amazing and beautiful.
|Neasden (Hindu) Temple
We had another powerful event in January. We had a most amazing couple that came to our Self-Reliance Centre in April–June of 2015. Alan Carter and his wife Rosalind, traveled from Croydon and offered their British experience and expertise to our clients in the SR Center.
|Alan & Rosalind Carter
As we were out of London for the funeral, we also visited the Crawley Stake SR Specialist. Jules invited us to dinner and for the first time, we had a local speciality 'Toads in a Hole'. This was a unique dinner with two sausages cooked inside of a Yorkshire pudding. She also served Trifle which was beautiful and delicious.
Finally, we must describe one of our days last week in the
Self Reliance Center. Feb 12 was a particularly Crazy Day. We have had a few calm days so we were overdue
for a hum-dinger.
|Toad In A Hole + Dinner
- · Because it had been calm, I agreed to leave the Centre to help Cezary. We had worked with him and he was now employed, but the Home Office (British Government) wanted him to report in. He was summoned to be "detained" and this, as you might well imagine, caused he and I great anxiety. We had no idea what was happening. So, I agreed to travel with him to Croydon to the Home Office.
- · As I was preparing for the day's work (including the trip to Croydon), a Greek client came in. No English, just Greek speaking. I spent about an hour with him trying to help him prepare a CV. My time was up and I had to leave to help Cezary so I turned him over to Sister Baxter.
- · Then a lady from Spain came in needing a CV – right, no English at all.
- · We have a sweet lady that comes in unexpectedly from time to time and she dropped in to meet with four deaf people that she interprets for. She needed assistance in building CV's for these four deaf people.
- · Peter, unemployed and looking for work, came in needing computer help for his job search.
- · Brian, a recent Korean convert, came in to have Afton help him practice English.
- · While I was still on my travels, the missionaries brought in a new investigator. He had no CV, no job, had spent the last 12 years in prison, and was now turning his life around and needed assistance.
- · Finally, two ladies – one from Iran and one from Spain, both well-educated but without jobs, came in for help.
Fridays are the day we only have the Centre open from Noon until 4:30pm and most of this happened while I was off with Cezary traveling to and from Croydon. Afton is a miracle worker and she was still breathing and standing when I returned to lend a hand. By 8:00pm we had given service to all and they were on their way. We went home, and dropped on the couch.
Missionary service is great work. It is hard, demanding, and challenging. It is rewarding and brings joy as you see people getting help and assistance that moves them forward. You work with the best people, missionaries – juniors and seniors. The many tender mercies help build testimonies and enhance the great joy that comes from service. May you all get the opportunity to serve in your own particular way as you progress.

Feasibility Study on Access to Financing for RE Appliance for Rural Poor in Cambodia
VisionFund Cambodia, under the frame of the UNEP Climate Finance Innovation Facility, commissioned Frankfurt School of Finance & Management to conduct a detailed feasibility study on access to financing for RE appliance for rural poor in Cambodia. The purpose of this feasibility study was to assess the target market characteristics in terms of market potential and client/future client preferences, and help VisionFund Cambodia to understand how its abilities can be synchronised with market requirements. Additionally, the study aimed to assess the feasibility of RE lending products and more closely estimate the Renewable Energy –in particular solar energy– lending potential. The scope of the study focused all 12 branches and its 17 operating provinces of VisionFund Cambodia.

He embraces aesthetic diversity in his work and also relishes debonair synergy between high and low, old and new, subtle and exuberant.
Taste of an Elegant Home
Richard's dedication to design has made his design highly sought-after. Richard lived in the fifth avenue overlooking the Central Park for 18 years. Together with his wife Marcle Rofle Mishaan, they used to decorate their home. A quick glance at his house would reveal the artistic designs that Richard Mishaan Design firm had incorporated. His wife said that their apartment was like a Lab to Richard; he was always trying new things in the house.
Secret Behind Richard's Blossoming
Richard Mishaan Design is based on the concept of individualization. Richard works to create an additional context for his clients rather than forcing his context on them. He also incorporates personal art from his friends and associates expertise.
Sold Out to Queen Anne
One of my favorite projects that Richard Mishaan Design has worked is the Queen Anne home located along the New York's island drive. The home is unique and outstanding. The house is characterized by navy blue and white shades and glass jute accents. The most stupendous artwork in the house is a fiberglass and rubberized paint statue, which was done by a graffiti artist known as KAWS. The house also has a ceramic Swedish stove. Richard Mishaan Design redid the house in 2009.

Surf 'n' Turf
Tue, 07 April 2015
The Scottish government has granted GBP 1.35 million (USD 2m/EUR 1.85m) to finance a community renewable energy project in Orkney, combining tidal and wind turbines through the Local Energy Challenge Fund.
The Orkney Surf 'n' Turf scheme will use two tidal and one wind turbine on the island of Eday to generate electricity. The additional power produced will be used to produce compressed hydrogen, which will be transported to Kirkwall. A specially designed fuel cell will convert this hydrogen into electrical power for buildings and the docked ferries at the harbour.
Orkney Islands Council, the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC), Community Energy Scotland and Eday Renewable Energy are the partners involved in this project.
The Local Energy Challenge Fund has so far awarded more than GBP 20 million in financing to energy projects. Its second round has already been launched.
A major milestone targeted by the Scottish government is that it plans to generate 100 percent of its electricity from renewable sources by 2020.

Time of death: Sunday, 30th April, 4 a.m. After our first real experiments on BallE, one of the transistors from the H bridges controlling the motors burnt on Sunday at 1 a.m. We aren't sure about the cause underlying this incident: at that time we were varying the acceleration. While stopping the motors, in order to stop them faster we forced the current to 0. This induced a high voltage in the circuit: one transistor burnt and then we weren't sure the others hadn't been damaged in the process. Once we figured out what happened, we tried to replace the transistor. As the components on the card were really crowded given the surface (and didn't satisfy the theoretical constraint of having enough space for the H bridges to cool down) it was hard to extract the transistor and re-solder a new one. We didn't have the exact replacement so Samuel and Alexis tried to improvise with the transistors we had in stock. The replacement didn't succeed and at 3 a.m. we had the choice between:
a) redoing the whole mechanics and design for a 2-wheel ballbot
b) picking up another project for the following 4 days until the defense
By choosing option A, we couldn't guarantee that what happened for one H bridge wouldn't happen for the others… we barely started our tests with BallE in the final form. BallE wasn't stable and we needed time to calibrate and perform a broader range of tests. None of us wanted to give up working on BallE. However, we had absolutely no guarantee that we will have succeeded in keeping Ball-E stable for this Friday. We all enjoyed working on this project and we were very emotional about our choice… However, the risk of not having anything stable for our defense was very likely even if we kept working hard on Ball-E.
After a Sunday night full of nightmares, we spent the day thinking of replacement projects that were doable with the hardware we have for ROSE.
The following post will be dedicated to explaining our options and choices. Now, let's keep a moment of silence for Ball-E…

I have been a Core Lecturer in the History Department at Seattle University for the past six years. My graduate work focused on issues of national identity in Central and Eastern Europe during the Cold War. My teaching interests are much more varied, but all examine the notion of identity in some way. At SU, I have taught courses on modern East and West Europe, Imperial Russia, the European Middle Ages, historical methodology, revolutionary women in Europe, and the global history of the woman's movement. I also teach in the Freshman Seminar program and am the faculty director of the Oscar Romero Diversity Learning Community. I have a special interest in working with freshman students, and am currently working on a journal article on the pedagogy of teaching history to university freshmen. I enjoy spending free time with my family (which will soon grow to four, with the birth of a second daughter expected around Halloween), reading non-history books (I'm currently reading Margaret Atwood's latest novel, The Year of the Flood), and playing with my yellow lab, Belle (yes, her name is "Belle Pepper"!).

Many of the 11 million illegal immigrants living in the US are hoping the president's speech on immigration reform will give them a better chance of citizenship.
Obama expected to back cross-party US immigration reform plan
Obama expected to back cross-party US immigration reform plan
Obama has his own blueprint for immigration reform, but he is expected to back another slightly different one put together by a bipartisan group of senators, which is to be "largely consistent" with the president's plan.
Speaking from a Las Vegas high school on Tuesday around 11.15 local time, Obama will talk about an issue that led to one of the biggest re-election promises.
"It's an opportunity for all of us, I really hope the president keeps his promise and lays out a plan," said one man close to the San Ysidro port of entry in San Diego, California.
"It's great if we all can be here, but laws on this side of the border have to be respected," said a woman on the US side of the Mexican border bridge near San Ysidro.
Officials say Obama will not be revealing any legislation of his own, but is instead hoping to rally support for plan put together by the cross-party group of senators.
A number of efforts to overhaul immigration over the past two decades have failed – hampered by right-wing Republicans.
The new proposal also includes enhanced security to prevent illegal immigration in the future.

Prince Edward Island Signs HST Agreement
Prince Edward Island (P.E.I.) and the federal government have signed a memorandum of agreement (MOA) on the province's plans to implement the harmonized sales tax (HST) next year. The MOA clears the way for the two authorities to begin more detailed negotiations on the implementation of the tax. The 14 per cent HST is scheduled to take effect 1 April 2013 and would replace the current 15.5 per cent combination of the GST and PST.
Once P.E.I. implements the tax, it will join Ontario, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, and Nova Scotia in using the HST. British Columbia currently imposes HST, but will be returning to PST on the same day that P.E.I. implements theirs.

What Are Your All-Time Favorite xoVain Articles?
It's gonna get sappy up in here.
One of the main reasons I have never messed with eyelash extensions is my fear of addiction. My beauty personality is quite similar to my lifestyle: control must be exerted or there will be blood.
I won't brag too much—my lashes are pretty great under normal circumstances—but why wouldn't I want even better ones when presented with the opportunity? The answer to that question is hook of my favorite Billy Idol song: I always want more, more, more.
Trying serums is a harmless way to satiate that desire for the mascara look without any actual mascara. Plus, I'm always game for a long-haul experiment.
Today we're pitting LashFood Phyto-Medic Eyelash Enhancer against GrandeLASH-MD for a four-week trial period. I am so excited to share the results because they're kind of shocking. Though I loved them both, and both did give my eyelid bangs a good zhuzhing, one was clearly much more effective than the other.
Both formulas are expensive. Broken down per month, each formula will run you $25 to $35. When you compare this to Latisse, which averages about $100 per month, it looks like a steal, but when you compare it to cheapie castor oil, it looks like a Fendi bag. Though castor oil has always helped me maintain lovely lashes, being totally objective forces me to admit that the serums did boost overall length and thickness more rapidly. They all require regimented daily application to see results, so if you're a lackadaisy, you might want to skip (or set an alarm).
These are my baseline lashes before the testing began. Not too shabby, considering it's one of my only three gifts from my father: long lashes, a sharp musical ear, and a predispositon to addiction.
GrandeLASH-MD was created to enhance the length and thickness of lashes using the power of herbal extracts and prostaglandin, a fatty-acid-sourced substance that works in every animal cell in some way. Prostaglandin is, in my opinion, the star active ingredient of the formula; though there are other nourishing herbs and even hyaluronic acid, they can only help keep lashes nice without the hormone-influencing powers of prostaglandin.
Holy moly, what a difference! They appear to be about half an inch longer after one month of treatment. That's a major boost! The longest hairs are the hairs right in the center—they almost touch my eyebrows. I can truly curl and go.
LOVE! The master brew of Siberian ginseng and prostaglandin help simulate a similar hormonal effect as that of prescription Latisse in an OTC formulation. No wonder it worked so well! I seriously have so many more lash hairs, and all stuck in the anagen (growth) phase as long as I keep using it.
Next up, we have LashFood Phyto-Medic Eyelash Enhancer. The gist of LashFood's recipe is a peptide complex with fruit and flower extracts, amino acids, and hair-boosting ingredient adenosine. This ingredient is like a gentle minoxidil, helping to keep hairs in the anagen phase while also darkening.
You can see very plainly that the lashes are enhanced compared to three weeks prior, but not on the level of GrandeLASH-MD.
Peep LashFood's supporting mascara. It comes with a primer and the difference is exactly like the serum: Grande was longer, LashFood was thicker.
I noticed both formulas resulted in a serious reduction in shedding lashes. I used to get a few every night, but I distinctly remember noticing only one measly lash fall from the Grande side.
Though I had to switch eyes after the test to even out the extra quarter inch of lashes on my LashFood side, I am not mad at this test at all. It's way more fun to have differing results than barely perceptible differences. If you are happy with your length, grab LashFood; if you are going for the falsies look, Grande is your go-to.
Lash enhancement is not a cheap habit no matter what your approach. And I won't lie: it's addictive. Just knowing that the results stop when you stop also sucks, but I would wager that this is significantly more affordable than eyelash extensions.

A great new academy in Corinth! Awesome coaches and a great place to train!!Google+ Jasmine Ramirez,
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is an exceptional martial art for adult students. Since Jiu Jitsu does not involve striking (punching and kicking) the chance of injury due to blunt force trauma is virtually eliminated. It is a rare occurrence that a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu practitioner receives significant injury during sparring or training. Once a submission hold is applied to an opponent; they simply "tap" to show submission.
For those unfamiliar with Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, it may seem unusual for a martial art not to involve striking as a means to subdue an opponent. However, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu's use of joint-lock submissions and choke-holds is extremely effective in dominating an opponent. The word Jiu Jitsu loosely translates to "the gentle art." It is known as the gentle art because the Jiu Jitsu practitioner can use submission holds to completely subdue their opponent without inflicting permanent damage.
The number one priority at Top Game is health and safety of our students. We teach our students to respect their opponent and to be mindful of their partner's safety at all times. You will not find bullies or inflated egos at Top Game Jiu Jitsu. All of our students care for and support each other's journey on our path to mastering Jiu Jitsu.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is based on the concept that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defeat a larger, stronger opponent by using technique to apply submissions. Therefore, your advancement in Jiu Jitsu is not based on your size or strength…but on the quality of your technique. As long as a Top Game student can supply the desire and the heart; Top Game can provide the technique.
At Top Game we will provide everything you need to make your first class an excellent experience, such as: changing rooms, loaner uniforms, a water fountain, friendly staff and team, a large mat area, and an incredibly clean facility. We have classes for beginners, more advanced students, Gi (uniform) classes, NoGi (no uniform) classes and even Judo some Sundays with 3rd degree black belt Jason Salle! Once you become part of the team you will have access to all of this great info and training. Visit the "Contact Us" page to schedule your FREE class today!!
ADDITIONAL BENEFITS: Brazilian Jiu Jitsu provides more than just self-defense and self-confidence.
- Health and Fitness: Jiu Jitsu is a great way to keep in shape! A 90 minute training session of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu can burn between 1,000-1,250 calories. If you have never trained Jiu Jitsu, we guarantee you will be surprised at the quality of workout you will receive. It is also surprising how much fun you can have while doing Jiu Jitsu, especially once your technique begins to develop.
Stress Relief: Very few things can calm your mind like Jiu Jitsu. Many, if not all, of our Top Game student view their time on the mat as the favorite part of their day. In this hectic environment we live in, it is very valuable to have an escape from all the pressures of our day.
Comradery: The comradery within the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu community, and particularly at Top Game Jiu Jitsu, is second to none. Our Top Game students act as one big family unit; much like the comradery that is found in the military. We support each other and help each other build our skills to further our Jiu Jitsu journey. We believe this is the real value in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
Visit our "Contact Us" page to schedule your FREE class today. You can also call (940) 600-4806 for more info!
Outstanding facility. Coaches are amazing and make each student feel special. I would recommend this studio to anyone.Google+ Barbra Bowen Cross,
Top notch instructors, truly spreading the martial art of Jiu-Jitsu. Beautiful, clean facility, I would recommend this place to anyone I know!Google+ Michael Magness, Owner of Magness BJJ
My two young children and I train at Top Game and love it. The atmosphere reminds me more of a family setting versus random people just coming together to train. My children adore Coach Blake, he is a great coach and very knowledgeable. Coach Dave has been my training partner on a few occasions and I enjoy the fact that he doesn't take it easy on me simply because I am a girl. My family enjoys training at Top Game and I recommend this place to anyone looking to get into bjj, whether they are beginners or advanced.Google+ Sarah Banis,

We didn't make it out of the country! We're so disappointed.
The Arteriovenous (AV) fistula in my arm, which was used for needling during haemodialysis, stopped working the day before I wrote the last post. Because I have my transplant I don't actually need the fistula any more but it's kept if there's a need for it in the future.
I checked with my renal unit at the Churchill Hospital and they told me it could be painful and to take painkillers. Well, there's painful and there's PAINFUL!
|Clotting fistula
So we've got a couple of weeks in Hungerford instead!
Today was the first day we've ventured to the plot. The sky was blue and sunny but no life in any of our recent plantings yet (garlic or broad beans) and nothing interesting to photograph. The minimum temp has been 2° and maximum of 13° (not 28° like Tenerife - no! Stop that!!)
Anyway, back home pretty quickly to nurse my not-so-swollen-now arm.
Tut, such bad timing :-(

December 19, 2003
Purdue recognized for founding top incubator model in U.S.
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. Purdue University, creator of the largest university affiliated, high-tech business incubation program in the United States, is cited in the December issue of University Business magazine for establishing the nation's top incubator model.
Since the Purdue Research Foundation created the Purdue Research Park's first incubator in 1993, the incubation program has launched more than 40 new companies in information technology, biomedical engineering, advanced manufacturing technology and software development.
"The goal of these efforts is to attract knowledge-based businesses to the Purdue Research Park, to launch new startups powered by Purdue generated innovation and to cultivate high-tech collaborations with Purdue University," said Joseph Hornett, senior vice president and treasurer of the Purdue Research Foundation. "Achieving these objectives, we believe, will lead to the production of successful firms that bring in out-of-state revenue, bolstering Indiana's economy."
Hornett said this new business venture creation also benefits Purdue because it fuels the recruitment of top-notch faculty researchers and ensures that university graduates will have access to quality high-tech jobs in Indiana.
Purdue Research Park's incubation complex comprises five complementary facilities, including three startup business incubator buildings totaling 102,000 square feet and three graduation facilities totaling 130,000 square feet. The largest incubator facility in the complex, the Purdue Technology Center, operates at 90 percent occupancy. It also generates enough income to fund services and staff.
The park added 23 new firms to its incubation roster over the past two years. They were cultivated by the foundation's Office of Park Development and the Purdue Gateways Program, two initiatives designed to provide growing high-tech ventures with a supportive environment of equipment, services and resources offered at a reasonable cost.
The park development office provides client firms with marketing and media relations expertise; human resources assistance, including employee recruitment; connections to technical expertise; access to sophisticated lab instruments via Purdue's Recharge Centers, where equipment can be used at comparatively low cost; some administrative assistance; conference room and videoconferencing facilities; shared accounting/financial management services; and access to high-quality business equipment.
The Purdue Gateways Program, a university initiative, works alongside the park development office to provide new ventures with vital links between product research and commercial application. It also offers tangible assistance to significantly reduce the entrepreneur's time, effort and resources used to commercialize a product, service or process.
"We are finding that one element distinguishing the Purdue Gateways Program from many others is a solid emphasis on the actual mechanics of new venture creation," said Sam Florance, Purdue Gateways Program director and associate vice provost for engagement. "We try to bring the necessary resources into the picture, but we also have the specific skills to assist our client firms in the solving of real problems arising from the very uncertain business of launching new ventures. We assist in the characterization of targeted market environments, the negotiation of financing and investment agreements, and coach our clients in a variety of organizational development issues."
Purdue Gateways Program staff offers day-to-day counsel on organizational development, financial resource management, networking and the market analysis necessary to compete in the modern marketplace. A task force of accountants, attorneys, bankers and other professionals also provide advice on the progress made by Gateways' client firms.
"Once they begin to gain early traction in their markets, most new entrepreneurs are on unfamiliar ground when their firms begin growing at between 100 percent and 500 percent per year," Florance said. "We try to help them chart a path through each unexpected challenge."
Since Purdue programs in engineering, science, technology, management, pharmacy and agriculture consistently rank high in national polls, entrepreneurs benefit from Purdue's renewable source of new technologies upon which startups can be based.
In addition, the park serves as the development arena for innovations that emerge from Purdue's Discovery Park, where five new interdisciplinary centers are planned. Centers already under construction include the Burton D. Morgan Entrepreneurship Center, the Bindley Bioscience Center and the Birck Nanotechnology Center. Future plans call for the Discovery Learning Center and an e-enterprise center. The center will create opportunities to educate students, faculty and staff to bring research to the marketplace, ensuring a continuous pipeline of innovation that emerges from Purdue. Innovations then can find a nurturing environment to grow in the Purdue Research Park.
A synergy of life sciences ventures within the Purdue Research Park has led to the development of the Allen Chao Center for Industrial Pharmacy, a $5.3 million center within the park that will manufacture "legacy drugs," pharmaceuticals that are in demand but on a lesser scale than well-known, first-choice medications. The center is expected to attract high-tech jobs to the state, both for the Purdue facility and for new companies in the research park that will take advantage of the center's manufacturing capabilities. Purdue industrial pharmacy students will benefit from training on FDA policy within a working manufacturing facility.
In 2003, Purdue Research Park was designated as the state's first Certified Technology Park by the Indiana Department of Commerce (IDOC). Shortly thereafter, the IDOC's first regional office was established at the park to assist high-tech ventures as they look for state funding, including tax incentives and Indiana 21st Century Fund grants.
The Purdue Research Park is home to 104 companies that employ more than 2,200 people.

An' if, yer know yer 'istory..............
The next Captain of Everton Football Cub was Tom Booth.
Tom replaced Jimmy Settle as Captain.
Tom Booth was an Everton stalwart in the days when the last century was in its infancy. He was desperately unlucky to miss both the 1906 and 1907 FA Cup Finals through injury.
Everton first claimed the FA Cup in 1906 and Tom missed out again 12 months later.
Thomas Booth was born in Ardwick, Manchester, on 25th April 1874. He played local football for Hooley Hill and Ashton North End.
A centre-half, Booth signed for Blackburn Rovers in 1896.Tom Booth won his first international cap for England in 1898. England beat Wales 3-0. It was another five years before Booth played for his country again.
In 1900 Tom Booth joined Everton. In his time at Blackburn Rovers he had scored 10 goals in 111 games. Booth helped his Everton to do well in the First Division of the Football League: 1901-02 (2nd), 1903-04 (3rd) and 1904-05 (2nd). In 1903 Booth played for England against Scotland.
He lived in Manchester but no-one ever doubted his commitment to Everton.
When Everton met Manchester City in a vital clash at the end of the 1904/05 season, Tom was involved in an infamous of the ball incident with his City namesake Frank Booth when both were cautioned.
Our centre half and captain went on to make 185 appearances for Everton scoring 11 goals. Tom picked up 2 England caps.
Tom left Everton for Preston North End in 1908.
Tom Booth: April 1874 - Sept 1939

Jacob deGrom's room for error was slim, so serving up three fat ones to the Dodgers wasn't in his best interest Wednesday night.
The Mets aren't scoring enough to let a rookie off the hook for mistakes in the strike zone. DeGrom allowed three solo home runs and would have to suffer the consequences of a second straight loss to begin his major league career.
"My job is to go out there and give us a chance and keep us in the game and I felt like I did that tonight," deGrom said after the Mets' sixth loss in seven games, 4-3 to the Dodgers at Citi Field.
In his second major league start, deGrom (0-2) allowed three runs, four hits, three walks and struck out four over six innings. But the Mets (20-25) couldn't deliver when it counted, despite outhitting the Dodgers 13-5.
Maybe the maddening moment of the night for the Mets came in the eighth, when Hanley Ramirez hit a comebacker to Jeurys Familia that could have been an inning-ending double play. But with Wilmer Flores and Daniel Murphy converging at second base, Familia hesitated on the throw, and the Mets got just one out. Chone Figgins scored on the play.
Murphy said the shortstop normally receives the throw on such a play, but because Flores had shifted to play Ramirez in the hole, it was the second baseman's ball — but Familia froze.
"I got the ground ball and it's part of the game — I made a mistake and tomorrow is a new day," Familia said.
That run became bigger in the ninth when Juan Lagares' triple led to the Mets pulling within 4-3.
David Wright's third hit of the game, a two-out double in the seventh, brought Chris Young to the plate with the tying run at third base. But Young was retired by reliever Brandon League, keeping the Dodgers' lead at 3-2.
Eric Campbell gave the Mets life in the sixth with his first major league home run, a two-run blast that trimmed the Dodgers' lead to 3-2. The homer snapped a road scoreless streak by lefty Hyun-Jin Ryu that had reached 33 innings.
"I swung through a changeup early and figured it was going to come back again," said Campbell, who is 7-for-16 (.438) to begin his major league career. "It's been two weeks I'll remember forever, for sure."
Manager Terry Collins said he wants to keep Campbell's hot bat in the lineup and may start him at first base in Thursday's series finale.
"We've got to think about getting him in there someplace, somehow," Collins said. "The way he's swinging we've got to figure out someplace to put him."
Ryu lasted six innings in which he allowed two earned runs on nine hits with nine strikeouts and one walk.
DeGrom cruised into the sixth before Yasiel Puig and Ramirez hit consecutive homers to put the Mets in a 3-0 hole. But deGrom rebounded to get the final two outs in the inning.
"He's going to be real good," Collins said. "He's got a great demeanor on the mound — an impressive kid."
Adrian Gonzalez's homer leading off the second got the Dodgers their first run. It was the second straight game with a homer for Gonzalez, who hit a two-run blast against Rafael Montero on Tuesday.
The Mets loaded the bases with two outs in the third against Ryu, but Granderson struck out to end the threat.
That whiff made the Mets an almost unfathomable 6-for-41 (.146) with the bases loaded this season.
On Tuesday, the Mets loaded the bases in the fifth and seventh innings, both times with one out, and failed to score.

When you first hear the premise of Spike Jonze's Her — a lonely man falls in love with his computer operating system — the natural assumption is that the filmmaker was inspired by using Siri, the voice-activated application on iPhones that carries out requests in a friendly female voice.
But Jonze says the initial nugget for the film came more than a decade ago, when he was playing around with an artificial-intelligence program that you could talk to on your computer. Although the program was primitive, with a limited vocabulary that essentially parroted whatever you asked, Jonze came away wondering what would happen if such a device could become sentient, develop feelings and emotions, and learn and grow — everything that would make it human, except it wouldn't have a body.
The resulting film examines that concept. Set in a near-future Los Angeles, the movie stars Joaquin Phoenix as Theodore Twombly, a lonely introvert who makes a living writing eloquent letters for strangers — birthday wishes, love notes — but has trouble talking to real people or even making eye contact. Theodore has been deeply wounded by his impending divorce to his bitter wife (Rooney Mara), and he doesn't understand how the relationship curdled or why she accuses him of pulling away.
Jonze, who wrote and directed the movie, says he understands both sides of that dilemma.
"I've been in both sides of that conversation," he says. "I've done the thing where I stop being communicative, and I've been on the other side where the other person isn't communicating, and I become frustrated.
"The … um … I don't know…," Jonze says, looking away as he searches for the right words. "I think there is something about … unless you come from a really evolved family that allowed you to talk about your feelings and felt like a safe environment, then you aren't really prepared to do that when you grow up. The strengths and failings of a relationship depend entirely on your ability to talk about your feelings. So yeah, it can be challenging for some people."
In Her, the alienated Theodore forms an unusually tight relationship with an operating system named Samantha (voiced by Scarlett Johansson), who has been custom-made for him. But unlike today's artificial intelligence, Samantha has the ability to develop intuition and desires. The more complicated she becomes, the harder it is for her and Theodore to speak honestly. Suddenly, without intention, she starts reminding him of all the mistakes he made in his marriage.
"By the time you reach a certain age, everyone has been affected by past relationships in good and bad ways," Phoenix says. "You start realizing that both the positive and negative things that happened are part of your growth as a person. That's an idea everyone can identify with. One of Spike's amazing, beautiful talents is that he takes these big intellectual ideas that seem strange and foreign to us — a guy falls in love with his computer — and breaks them down to a place we can all identify with."
Jonze says Phoenix was his first choice for the role of Theodore, and he met with the actor a week after he finished the script. "So much of the movie has to rest on his face, and he has to represent two characters," the director says. "As soon as I met him, I realized he was so open and genuine and doesn't take himself seriously at all. There's nothing pretentious about Joaquin, even though a lot of people think that. I realized there was this side to him I hadn't seen on screen that much."
Samantha Morton was originally cast as the voice of Samantha, but after shooting was completed, Jonze realized during the editing process that the chemistry he needed his two lead characters to share wasn't there, so he recast her with Johansson. Her role was recorded in a studio on weekends during four months, with Phoenix there to give her someone to play off.
The result is one of the most moving romances in years, as well as another of Jonze's imaginatively detailed head-trip fantasies. One outspoken critic who is definitely not a fan: Siri. iPhone users have taken to asking her what she thought of the movie. Her responses have varied from "In my opinion, she gives artificial intelligence a bad name" to "Her portrayal of an intelligent agent is beyond artificial."
Fortunately for the makers of Her, Siri doesn't go out to the movies much.

A dispute over the designation of a struggling Colorado mall as "blighted" might serve as testing ground for how much recourse commercial property owners have against the power of eminent domain.
The City of Westminster, Colo., is attempting to seize the land belonging to the owners of Westminster Mall in order to make way for a transit-oriented mixed-use project. And legal experts say that the case illustrates how cities may attempt to evade laws put in place in recent years to prevent the use of eminent domain for the purpose of economic development.
Typically, eminent domain has been used to seize property in order to make way for government or other public use. Less frequently, municipalities have tried to use the power for economic development. That is precisely what occurred in New London, Conn., where the city, following a controversial Supreme Court ruling, used the power of eminent domain to seize private residences to make way for a commercial redevelopment.
Many saw that decision as an erosion of property rights. And property owners voiced concerns that other cities might try to seize homes or small commercial properties—even healthy ones—to make way for larger commercial projects that could deliver higher tax revenues. In the wake of Kelo, many states, including Colorado, put in laws banning the use of eminent domain for the purpose of economic development.
But blight has always been an exception. That designation gives cities more power to seize private property. In the case of the Westminster Mall, if the Jefferson County District Court agrees with the city's take it would give Westminster the power to take control of the property and move ahead with its redevelopment plans without the current owner's consent.
So the question at play in Westminster is whether the mall, which is unquestionably struggling, is truly blighted or whether the city is pushing the boundaries of the definition in order to seize a property that it otherwise would be unable to take.
The mall owner, Westminster Mall Co., thinks the blight designation stems from the fact that the municipality is dissatisfied with the decline in tax revenue generated by the mall. The owner has filed a lawsuit to stop the process. The court's decision in the case might help determine just how flexible cities' eminent domain rights are.

Ke$ha (KESHA) must be throwing up in her mouth this morning. Naked photos of her and a former boyfriend have hit the web. The 'Tik Tok' singer was photographed kissing and biting Alex Carapetis and receiving oral sex from her former flame.
Oh my goodness.
Ke$ha's naked photos are going to go viral and unfortunately there's no way to stop them. I won't post them here, but trust me, they are making their rounds.
I know what you are thinking – you're saying that it might not be Ke$ha in the oral sex shot because you can't see her face. SHE CONFIRMED IT! Why would she do that??? Maybe she doesn't mind being part of a naked celebrity scandal. I guess 'We are Who We are'.

To many, Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders are polar opposites. To Sanders' supporters, Trump is a reality-TV billionaire, exactly the type Sanders blames for today's problems. To Trump's fans, Sanders is a government-loving socialist, and a wimp who hands over his mic to Black Lives Matter protesters. As Trump says of Sanders: 'He wants to give away our country, folks. We're not going to let it happen.'
But Trump and Sanders share much in common. Both come from outside the normal political channels; until recently neither was a member of the party they now seek to represent in the presidential election. Both are channelling disaffection from sections of society, often blue-collar, that have lost faith in government, political parties, business, and other institutions. And both Trump and Sanders are mobilising people on the basis of a populist, anti-elite message.
Today's new populism in the US – like populist individuals and movements of the past – isn't bound by the traditional political categories of left and right. As the historian Michael Kazin has noted, populism is 'more an impulse than an ideology'; it is a 'flexible mode of persuasion' that can be employed towards a variety of political ends. In the US, populism has ranged from the small, farmer-based People's Party of the 1890s and the labour movement of the early-20th century, to George Wallace's segregationist third-party presidential bid in the 1960s and Ronald Reagan's overtures to workers in the 1980s.
This latest wave of populism in the US, as represented by Trump and Sanders, is filling a vacuum left by the slow disintegration of the Republican and Democratic parties. Both groups have adopted top-down, technocratic policies, and both are widely viewed as dysfunctional. Populism is also fuelled by a backlash against the political and cultural elite's apparent disdain for lower-class people, whether it's President Obama's dig at people who 'cling to guns or religion' or Mitt Romney's dismissal of the '47 per cent' who are 'takers'.
The new American populism has been more successful than anyone imagined only a few months ago. It is shaking up the old order. What is unusual about today's populism, from the perspective of US history, is that it is emerging on both the left and right simultaneously. This reveals that populism is now a society-wide phenomenon, and calls into question how meaningful the traditional left-right categories are today. What's even more striking, considering so-called 'American exceptionalism', is that the US version of populism is part of a global trend: Trump has parallels with Nigel Farage of UKIP and Marine Le Pen of Front National; Sanders resembles Jeremy Corbyn of the Labour Party, Syriza in Greece and Podemos in Spain.

Fall 2017 Destinations
Global Bachelor's Program
The GW Global Bachelor's Program is an exciting opportunity to make study abroad a central part of your undergraduate degree. The Global Bachelor's Program was designed for top students in the Columbian College, Elliott School and the School of Business to spend multiple semesters abroad as part of their GW studies. Participants will leave GW with significant international experience having explored and learned to adapt to diverse social, cultural and academic situations in at least two countries outside of the U.S. Students will study their own major from leading scholars and teachers at GW and abroad and will encounter a broad international perspective. They will learn how to communicate with others from diverse cultural backgrounds while establishing a network of colleagues around the world. Successful completion of the program will earn students a Global Bachelors designation on their GW transcript.
The first semester abroad will be together as a cohort during the spring semester of sophomore year at Fudan University in Shanghai, one of the most prestigious universities in China. Global Bachelor's students will study in English alongside Chinese and international students. Students will live on campus in dorms while one of the world's most dynamic cities lies just beyond the campus gates.
After the Shanghai semester, Global Bachelor's students will choose two additional international experiences. One semester must be at an approved study abroad location somewhere else in the world (that is, not in China). The second experience may be 8 weeks dedicated to a full-time international internship during the summer term, or during a semester of leave, or, a third semester of study abroad at any approved location of your choice.
Students must apply to the program in the spring semester of their Freshman year. Courses taken during the study abroad semesters will transfer for GW credit towards majors, minors and electives. There are also several additional course requirements for the Global Bachelor program. First, students will complete the Global Bachelor's Sequence: a series of three one-credit courses designed to help them prepare, engage and reflect upon the global experience. Students must also take one course offered by the Global Bachelor's Director during the China semester. According to the policy of their home school, students may be required to become familiar with at least one foreign language. To satisfy this requirement one semester of Chinese language study may be taken during the Shanghai semester at Fudan University.

Ratings for Dr. Michael E. Brewer
Dr. Brewer is the best Dr. He listens to his patients and cares for them. He is our family doctor. The staff is good. Not great but good. The staff is slow to return calls, especially the nurse line.
Dr. Brewer's staff, including his other half who does spend time in the office and makes decisions for him, is making him extremely mean and rude. He has always been very nice and concerned until here lately and this is being noticed by a lot of his patients. He needs to stand up to his staff, what is left of it, before his practice suffers even more. He is too quick to listen to gossip and is not checking out the facts. His patients are his first concern.
One of the best, if not the best, family physicians in Birmingham. He's incredibly kind, intelligent, and actually listens, which seems to be a rare quality in doctors these days. He doesn't have the normal doctor attitude of acting as if he's all-knowing or that your concerns and comments are time-wasting and beneath him. I've recommended him to anyone and everyone I know looking for a physician.
the best doctor i have ever been to! My visits never take more than an hr with very little waiting. he is so incredibly nice, outstanding bedside manner and he will listen and discuss anything that concerns you at all!
I finally took a step forward. And to think I've used another dr. in the office for 6 years, and made NO progress. Dr. Brewer "listened".
Dr.Brewer is a great doctor and really takes care of every patient. The office staff has always be most helpful.
Wonderful doctor! Always goes out of his way to understand my symptoms and make an accurate diagnosis. When I'm sick... gives me the meds that I need to get through the work day and sleep at night.
Always willing to spend the necessary time with a patient. I always walk out of his office feeling better, both because of his skill and his demeanor. Highly and Enthusiastically recommended.

Despite owning a broad portfolio of game franchises, Activision Blizzard Inc. continues to rely on a handful of titles from Blizzard Entertainment in Irvine and the Call of Duty franchise for much of its sales and profits.
The Santa Monica game publisher said its second-quarter revenue of $1.15 billion was up 19% from $967 million a year earlier, thanks to strong sales of supplemental online content for its Call of Duty: Black Ops, as well as the popularity of two Blizzard titles, World of Warcraft: Cataclysm and Star Craft II: Wings of Liberty.
Activision's income of $335 million for the quarter was 53% higher than the $219 million it earned a year earlier. The company credited some of the increased profit to Blizzard, whose online games were generally more profitable than traditional, disc-based console games.
Its shares, which gained 13 cents Wednesday to close at $11.82, rose an additional 22 cents to $12.04 in after-hours trading after the earnings release.
