Many of us might automatically think of aerobics classes and gym sessions when we hear the word workout, but it can, in fact, be more fun and playful than that. Today we put on some skis and went cross country skiing instead of heading off to the gym. Here's a brief guide to what you need to get a wonderful skiing experience.
First of all you'll need skis, ski poles and ski boots, obviously, but make sure to dress properly as well. Work with layers. Start with some warm under clothing such as long johns, a long sleeved t-shirt and wool socks. Use materials that breathe and won't leave you cold and wet (you will sweat and when that sweat gets cold it's impossible to get warm again). We suggest merino wool, pile or synthetics – warm and breathable. Add ski pants and a warm wind stopper jacket. Don't forget the gloves and the beanie – and you're ready to go!
Essential skiing skills
Whether you are a beginner or an expert, diagonal striding or skating, the skills listed apply to all levels. For example, the basic snowplow starts by skidding and steering the skis sideways into a Vee, then edging them into the snow. When you add weight transfer, you will start to turn. By practicing the basic skills for a few minutes each day when you ski, you will become a smoother, more efficient, and faster skier. But remember to have fun and don't be too hard on yourselves. It will get easier as you practice.
Gliding across the snow with a neutral, balanced stance with your feet side by side.
Gliding on one ski
Gliding across the snow on ONE ski, with your body mass centered over that ski.
Pushing off
Also know as "kicking", when you grip the snow with the ski to move forward.
Pushing off against the poles.
Tilting the skis on edge so that the bottom corner digs into the snow.
Slipping the skis sideways across the snow.
Turning the leg and foot to turn the ski.
Remember to have a relaxed posture when going downhill and try not to bend over, it will make you unsteady and you can fall down.
Having fluffy snow to play in every winter is a privilege to us Scandinavians, but even if you don't have snow there are places where they use fake snow both indoors and outdoors. If you not why not go ice skating? Many cities have at least one ice rink where you can go ice skating. So put on those skates, skies or take your old sled and fall down, laugh and have a great time.

In an ongoing effort to better prepare
medical students for a career in emergency medicine, Wake Forest School of Medicine,
part of Wake Forest Baptist Medical
Center is offering an emergency medical services elective course
for fourth year students. The School of Medicine is the first medical school in
North Carolina and one of only a few nationwide to offer such a program.
During the four-week course, students will ride with paramedics and first
responders from Iredell and Surry counties and observe their daily
responsibilities and interactions with patients. They will learn how an EMS
organization works, watch how patient care is provided, identify various means
of patient transport and understand phases of disaster response and medical
"This is really a unique opportunity, both for our students and for first
responders, to learn from each other," Howard Mell,
M.D., assistant professor of emergency medicine at Wake
Forest School of Medicine, and emergency physician at Wake Forest Baptist
Medical Center said. "If we can understand and enhance the quality of care –
from the prehospital setting to the emergency department – hopefully that will
translate into an improved outcome for many of our patients."
The students will also see firsthand the health disparities that are
evident in people from different parts of the state and diverse socioeconomic
classes. They will learn why emergency response times differ from one area to
another and recognize the roles that diet, lifestyle and access to health care
play in people's medical conditions.
"We hope this course really opens the eyes of our students to the health
issues that many of our neighbors face," Jason
Stopyra, M.D., assistant professor of emergency
medicine at Wake Forest School of Medicine and emergency physician at Wake
Forest Baptist Medical Center said. "Our goal is to provide our students with a
wide array of real-life experiences, which we believe will increase their
understanding and empathy and help to improve the treatment and outcomes for
the patients we serve."

Well, I used to think that I was observant. I mean, normally I pick up obscure details that others miss. I have always prided myself on my sharp eye and keen vision for the interesting and unusual.
Until, that is, last week. My lovely stepdaughter Michelle gave me a Mickey Mouse coffee mug about three years ago for Father's Day. Being familiar with the famous rodent, and having seen nearly every cartoon, every picture, drawing, design, theme or merchandise dedicated to or affiliated with the Disney icon, I was stunned when I noticed an unusually suggestive design element.
Mickey Mouse seems to be gesturing towards his private parts! I had to do a double-take, and didn't believe my eyes at first, but here it is:
He seems to be saying something like "Oh yeah...? Well check THESE out...!" or "Get up on these....!" or maybe "Here's the REAL happiest place...!"
Regardless, I can't believe I never noticed it.

My mother in law handed me a recipe the other day for a flourless chocolate torte recipe. She asked me to make it for dessert during the second night of Passover. Of course I made it, and of course I couldn't resist sharing the recipe and results with you on the Good For You Gluten Free blog.
This cake is delicious – it really shouldn't only be served on Passover. Just beware, this torte is so rich… just a small slice will satisfy even the most chocoholic cravings out there.
I covered my torte with Kosher for Passover frosting I found at the grocery store and some fresh raspberries. It would also go nicely topped with some fresh whipping cream, which you can make yourself by beating 1 cup of whipping cream with 2 tablespoons of sugar until stiff.
So at your next Passover-friendly meal, or when you're wanting to make a rich, decadent gluten-free dessert, give this flourless chocolate torte a try.

Duck Eye's Debut
Amid the grandeur and suspense, a 28-year old rookie pitcher named Myles Thomas made his World Series debut in the fall of 1926. Though his pitching performance – one earned run over three innings in relief – was serviceable if not memorable, his name lives on in Cooperstown thanks to an artifact in the Museum's collection.
This baseball was signed by members of both the Yankees and Cardinals during the '26 Series. Babe Ruth's signature is the largest on the ball, unsurprisingly, but Thomas' autograph is also prominent as the first name above 'New York Yankees.'
Thomas, a graduate of Penn State, enjoyed his best season in 1927 when he went 7-4 with the Yankees. He compiled that record despite a 4.87 earned-run average, perhaps speaking to the incredible clout of the lineup supporting him. He was known as "Duck Eye" on the club thanks to a nickname given to him by the Bambino himself. Ruth was not adept at remembering names, and so he gave Thomas his avian moniker because he thought the pitcher's flattened eyelids resembled those of a duck .

Translation Workflow
Elanex has a more sophisticated approach to translation than traditional translation agencies: we have designed our workflow from the ground up to reduce unnecessary human labor, and to utilize technology to maximize the quality of our work. Our unique translation workflow and our proprietary technology are used to manage large translation teams more effectively, to minimize translation errors, to maximize quality and consistency across document types and large volumes of text, and to create translated output as quickly as possible. Our process comprises the following steps:
- Glossary and style guide creation
- Translation Profile Analysis (TPA)
- Text extraction and bilingual creation
- Translation
- Text re-insertion and draft output file creation
- Semantic editing
- Layout editing (DTP)
- Generation and QA of final output files
All Elanex translation is done by people, not software. We use our server-based translation memory system, as well as other tools and technologies described below, to make the process more efficient, but actual translation is done by specialist native translators. Elanex technology enables our practitioners to focus on what they do best. By automating document processing and removing other 'distractions', we eliminate the need for our translators to become experts in specific software applications – they can simply focus on the actual translation.
Translation Team
A standard translation team will consist of a combination of:
- Translators (see Translation below)
- Editors (see Editing below)
- Project Managers
Every individual translation project is managed by a Project Manager that operates Elanex systems and manages the team. The PM builds the project team through the results of the Translation Profile Analysis (TPA) and Intelligent Practitioner Matching System (IPMS) described below.
Translation Profile Analysis (TPA)
A TPA is a definition of the basic characteristics of a source document/project. It is essential to correctly assess the content of a client's source document(s) to assign the appropriate team and thereby assure that we produce high-quality work.
The TPA includes:
- Language pair and direction
- Subject type and level of subject difficulty
- Work type and level of work type difficulty
Elanex actively manages a network of over 35,000 translators and editors, covering 118 languages. Elanex translators and editors are:
- Native speakers of the target language
- Specialists in one or more subject areas (Elanex distinguishes approximately 100 different specialist subjects)
- Graded and qualified by Elanex initially and on an ongoing basis (see practitioners and quality)
All Elanex translations are viewed by at least two people – a translator and an editor. Editing is included as part of our standard translation pricing, which is not the case with many other translation companies.
All Elanex translations include editing as part of the translation price that is not the case with many other translation companies. Editing can also be performed on previously translated documents as a separate activity.
First, we should define the difference between proofreaders and editors and explain why Elanex uses editors and not proofreaders. A proofreader typically reads only the translated document to check grammar, punctuation, and similar production errors. An editor is a linguist that reviews the translated work in comparison with the source materials to ensure accuracy and consistency in use of language. A proofreader can insure that grammar is correct, but cannot identify an incorrect translation.
Elanex editors come from our team of approximately 250 'Certified Editors'. They are native in the target language, and have been certified by Elanex has having a high level of ability in the subject and language, and an ability to create and review high quality work.
Document Publishing
Elanex can provide formatting services for all commonly used publishing formats, including PowerPoint, Word, Quark, InDesign, Framemaker, Illustrator, et al. in all languages we translate.
Native to Elanex core technology is the capability to return the translated document in the same file format and page formatting the source material was submitted without additional processing steps. Our translation platform can read/write directly to over 100 different file formats. Our file filters are being constantly updated to process the latest file formats. We can also work with hard copy and scanned documents and we can even customize our tools to work with your own unique formats if necessary.

The safest way to keep teens safe is to keep them off the streets and highways. But once they get behind the wheel, they need insurance coverage.
Adding a teen driver to a family's auto insurance policy can easily double and triple the annual cost.
Auto insurance rates are high because teen drivers are risky to insure.
"The data on teen deaths and accidents is astonishingly bad, especially for males. That's why rates are so high," says Robert Hunter, director of insurance for the Consumer Federation of America.

Jeffrey Eugenides Got Punched by a Drunk Guy Singing a Penis Song
On the train, naturally.
Jeffrey Eugenides was punched in the face last week when he tried to stop a pair of drunk New Jersey–bound train passengers from singing a song about their penises, according to "Page Six." Apparently Eugenides stepped after the duo refused another passenger's request to quiet down by instead calling a friend to share their masterpiece. Eugenides "grabbed the cellphone and got socked." Though his assailant fled, the story of the time Jeffrey Eugenides got punched by someone singing a penis song will live on. This is why we need quiet cars, people. [Page Six/NYP]

If exploring the picturesque settlements of a lush, historic region is your thing, the Tweed Valley will not disappoint. As well as the main town of Murwillumbah, a romantic escape to Crystal Creek Rainforest Retreat is ideal for an unhurried exploration of what the Far North Coast of New South Wales has to offer in cosmopolitan culture, home-grown heritage and friendly country hospitality.
Chillingham, the first of the Volcano Villages, nestled inside the erosion caldera of the Mt Warning Shield Volcano. Follow Tourist Drive 36 as it winds its way along the tree-lined Rous River through subtropical and ancient Gondonawan rainforest clinging to rhyolite rocks from the 240 million year old Chillingham Volcanics. Enjoy a coffee at the Bushtucker Gardens, lunch at Chillingham Store or walk by the river along Beantree Walk past the Pioneer Wall.
In this sleepy coastal fishing village at the mouth of the Tweed River you will find a general store, dinghy boat hire, art gallery, and a caravan park adjacent to a quiet pristine sandy beach. The Fingal lighthouse can be reached with a short walk through remnant coastal rainforest to the headland.
Unlike so many traditional beachside communities, Kingscliff has blossomed into a vibrant little beachfront township without losing its wonderful local identity. An abundance of local eateries and cafes offer a global cuisine, using the freshest local produce, in a beachside alfresco setting. This is the place to have lunch at the beach in the Tweed Valley.
A quiet village situated on the banks of Mooball Creek with pristine beaches, a safe swimming creek, great fishing and ample walking tracks in the Environmental Gardens. Enjoy barbecue and picnic spots under shady trees by the river.
Just off Tweed Valley Way, about 8km south of Murwillumbah, the historic railway village of Stokers Siding features a post office and a general store – housed in the original railway station built in 1894 – where you can enjoy afternoon tea.
Right on the banks of the Tweed River, Tumbulgum was one of the first settlements in the Tweed valley, originally housing cedar loggers. Its name is an Aboriginal word meaning "meeting of the waters", so appropriately, activity nowadays centres on the river – as a popular spot for water skiers, hire boats, fuel and marine facilities are available. A popular lunch spot is the historic Tumbulgum Hotel.
Located virtually under the rim of the caldera due west of Mt Warning, Tyalgum has spectacular views with plenty of open spaces to enjoy a picnic or a stroll along the creeks. Just along from the Tyalgum Store, which has been superbly rejuvenated to emphasise its Edwardian heritage, is the elegant Paddington of Tyalgum, as well as Flutterbies Cottage Cafe. The cafe blends charming shabby-chic homewares and gifts with elegant dining, complete with chandeliers and waitresses in frilled uniforms.
Uki (pronounced yoo-KI) is a peaceful village situated on the southern arm of the Tweed River, virtually at the foot of Mount Warning: look up from just about anywhere in Uki to see the mountain towering over you. Heritage architecture includes the bank building and a former butter factory which is now the hub of a burgeoning arts and crafts community. Uki's economy is based on dairying, with residential small acreage properties around the periphery of the township.

Welcome to Love Bug, The Matchmaking Service For Northern Colorado and Southern Wyoming.
There's someone here for you!
Your social life is about to get a whole lot better. That's because Love Bug is an easy, comfortable and intelligent way to meet quality Colorado and Wyoming singles. We are a dignified, professional matchmaking service that takes affairs of the heart as our very reason for being. We care about your romantic happiness. We've set up a fun and relaxed matchmaking and dating environment in order to foster matches that will stand the test of time.
It is our unique combination of screening, personalized concern and expert dating advice that help our members find lasting and rewarding relationships. We may just find you the love of your life!
Singles believe in us.
We are nurturing, irrepressible and almost intuitive about a person's character. Our hand-selected Love Bug staff can recognize the inner qualities of even the most reticent or, for that matter, forthright single men and women.
Any one of us at Love Bug can apply this attuned human intelligence and so help authenticate the validity of a match. After speaking with you, we select your matches from our member base and we bring a bit of science into the process, using focused interviews and psychologically-based evaluations to assess the suitability of a candidate.
Based in Fort Collins, we've helped bring happiness to hundreds of Northern Colorado and Southeastern Wyoming singles since 2007. Our experience stretches back to 1992 and is drawn from working with different matchmaking services. We've combined the best elements from each service into one effective system. We are proud to call Fort Collins, Colorado, a wonderfully-vibrant city, our home.
As matchmakers we are completely invested in the success of our members. In a sense, our members become part of our extended family. It's this personal concern that is our (and your!) greatest asset.
The Love Bug Difference.
How are we different from other Colorado and online singles dating sites?
It's how thoroughly we get to know our members.
We come to know our members in depth and in person – sitting by them through personality preference testing and interviews. Other dating services use a series of online questionnaires and never meet their members in person.
At Love Bug we do a lot of our preparation by inviting you into our offices so we can really get a sense of what you're looking for and who you are.
…Your strengths and weaknesses
…Your charms and your quirks
…What's loveable about you!
We combine this 'inside' information with the objective facts about our members in order to match them. There's someone out there for you. Let us help you find your match!
A Great Dating Service, Locally Based
Love Bug is a truly local dating service. Locally-based in Fort Collins, we have a large clientele base throughout, Boulder, Northern Colorado and Southern Wyoming to match our members. We're also small enough to devote attention to each member – and then some!
Just call our office today and see how easy it is to talk with someone about your romantic LOCAL options.
Love Bug Dating Philosophy
Dating is about first fully accepting who you are and then going out and having FUN with others, in order to see who they are. At Love Bug we'll coach you along every step of the dating process. First, preparing you mentally and emotionally for getting to know potential partners, then helping you find the match of your dreams!
We're real people helping you get real about relationships.
Since our start in Fort Collins, Colorado in 2007, we have welcomed over 2700 members in Northern Colorado and Southern Wyoming. Over 192 individuals are now happily married and more than 600 individuals are in healthy, exclusive relationships. These numbers grow everyday…
Take the 1st step! Fill out this preliminary questionnaire, and we'll take it from there.
Dear Love Bug,
Dan and I just wanted to thank you for matching us with each other. He is truly the most amazing man I have ever known! And he is a fantastic husband and father. If I could have drawn you a picture of the perfect man for me it would have been of him. He is so caring and compassionate! He is driven just like me. And when I am with him I feel safe and secure. He definitely completes me! So from the bottom of my heart. Thank you!
Dear Love Bug,
We are very happy to inform you that Maurice and Tamara have married. Thank you very much for putting us together! You are definitely agents of God. We have been truly blessed and the perfect match that you put together. We can't thank you enough.
God Bless You,
Dear Love Bug,
Austin and I met about one month after joining Love Bug. After our first date, we knew we wanted to see each other again and planned a second date for just a few days later.
Several dates later, we found that our personalities, wants and needs are very similar and we began to grow as a couple.We want to say thank you, Love Bug, for matching us, we could not be happier!
Dear Love Bug,
Jim and I connected on our very first meeting and have seen each other at least once a week since. Since we're dating long distance, we spend lots of time on the phone. We've found that we have enough things in common that we're talking marriage in the near future! Thanks Love Bug!
Dear Love Bug,
In response to talking to you last night, I am putting myself on hold for right now. I met Warren through your service and we are dating at the moment and having the time of our lives. He is such a gentleman. We have lots of fun and really enjoy each other's company. I will keep you informed of any changes. I know that I would not have met him if I hadn't joined your service.
Dear Love Bug,
Please put my account on hold. I have found the one for me. Paul and I are very compatible. You did a wonderful job… I am having the time of my life. I want to personally thank each and every one of you for matching me with a great guy. Sincerely.

RAHWAY — A New Jersey Democrat applauded the Obama administration for moving forward today to implement Obamacare provisions that would make it illegal for insurance companies to discriminate against people with pre-existing conditions.
"The Affordable Care Act is building a health insurance market that works for consumers," said James J. Devine, a New Jersey Democratic strategist. "Thanks to Obamacare, no one will face discrimination because of a pre-existing condition."
Devine said provisions of the Affordable Care Act also make it easier for consumers to compare health plans and for employers to promote and encourage employee wellness.
"The Affordable Care Act recognizes that well-run, equitable workplace wellness programs allow workers to access services that can help them and their families lead healthier lives," said Devine. "Employers also benefit from reduced costs associated with a healthier workforce."
"The Obama administration issued three proposed rules that will put words into action," said Devine. "The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has published these rules in the Federal Register and anyone who wants to help can use this time to comment in favor of Obamacare."
Devine explained the three rules and suggested ways for consumers to get more information:
A proposed rule that, beginning in 2014, prohibits health insurance companies from discriminating against individuals because of a pre-existing or chronic condition.
Under the rule, insurance companies would be allowed to vary premiums within limits, only based on age, tobacco use, family size, and geography.
Health insurance companies would be prohibited from denying coverage to any American because of a pre-existing condition or from charging higher premiums to certain enrollees because of their current or past health problems, gender, occupation, and small employer size or industry.
The rule would ensure that people for whom coverage would otherwise be unaffordable, and young adults, have access to a catastrophic coverage plan in the individual market.
For more information regarding this rule, visit: http://www.healthcare.gov/news/factsheets/2012/11/market-reforms11202012a.html.
A proposed rule outlining policies and standards for coverage of essential health benefits, while giving states more flexibility to implement the Affordable Care Act.
Essential health benefits are a core set of benefits that would give consumers a consistent way to compare health plans in the individual and small group markets.
A companion letter on the flexibility in implementing the essential health benefits in Medicaid was also sent to states.
For more information regarding this rule, visit http://www.healthcare.gov/news/factsheets/2012/11/ehb11202012a.html.
A proposed rule implementing and expanding employment-based wellness programs to promote health and help control health care spending, while ensuring that individuals are protected from unfair underwriting practices that could otherwise reduce benefits based on health status.

A court has heard how British woman, Gayle Newland, from Willaston, England purportedly led a female friend on by pretending to be that blindfolded female's male lover with a strap on.
In incredulous testimony, a woman claiming she was sexually assaulted by her former best friend, Newland, told of the moment of horror when she pulled off a blindfold that Newland insisted she always wear throughout their two year courtship only to find that the male lover making love to her was in fact her best female friend.
During their two year courtship, the 'preyed woman' told she agreed to wear a blindfold because her 'boyfriend', whom she planned to marry, said he was embarrassed by disfiguring injuries he suffered during a car accident.
Told the unnamed woman of the shocking discovery when she decided to pull off her blindfold during one intimate encounter.
'I just pulled it off,'
'Gayle was just standing there. I just couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe it.'
Of course one can't help but wonder if the woman never felt the woman's female body pressing up against her and for that matter felt whether the penis was artificial? An assertion that Newland has since claimed in the latest round of proceedings.
'She knew it from the get go it was a girl,' remonstrated Newland in new court developments.
Added the defendant who conceded the relationship's dynamics were absurd:
'It is not the norm by any stretch but this is something she can keep up in her head and make it easier to be with a woman,'
'It is all about being comfortable. She was comfortable with that and I followed that which was foolish. It was almost like a first step for us to be intimate enough with another female.'
According to testimony, Newland allegedly first approached her friend on Facebook, where she pretended to be a half-Filipino/half-Latino man named Kye Fortune.
Fortune allegedly told the complainant that as a result of the car accident, he had developed a brain tumor. He explained that he wore bandages around his chest for his heart monitor and a swimming outfit for circulation. Each time they met, the woman wore a blindfold.
Sensing something was amiss during their last sexual encounter, the alleged victim removed her blindfold, only to find Newland standing in front of her wearing a wool hat, a swimming suit and a prosthetic penis.
'Straight away (Newland) held her hand down over her face and said, 'It's not what you think,'' said the complainant.
Newland allegedly explained the lie by comparing it to the movie "17 Again," in which a middle-aged man is transported into his 17-year-old self's body.
Newland's lawyer claims that Kye Fortune was a fantasy that the alleged victim knew about, and that her attribution of Fortune's high-pitched voice to his half-Filipino/ half-Latino heritage was a 'lazy stereotype' and a 'ridiculous excuse,' that was too obvious and part of the sexual appeal and charade that bonded the two women.
In her defense, the complainant acknowledged that she was 'probably a bit stupid,' adding, 'If I thought Kye was a girl, whether it was Gayle or anyone else, I would not have continued seeing him.'
And then there were these comments on the web that made me wonder. See what you think?
How is it rape? She consented to blindfolded sex with someone who she's never seen. Then she complains about the equipment not being what she expected? This is homo-/transphobia, nothing more.
She did not consent to having sex with this woman. She consented to having sex with a totally different person (who turned out not to be real). This flies in the face of every aspect of knowing and enthusiastic consent.

Fuel Injectors
Anytime you run a larger turbocharger or want to increase the boost pressure or even convert to E-85. You must have a proper injector to handle those duties. Your stock injectors are obviously designed for the factory setup, but when it's time to start making more horsepower, then you need the right amount of fuel to safely support hose bad decisions.
Upgrading your fuel system is imperative when performing any modifications that add substantial increases of power to your engine. If you try to run a larger boost target with pump gas, or race gas with stock injectors your car will lean out, things will blow up, and you're not gonna have a good time. Because RallySport Direct is in the business of making more horsepower, we have a large variety of injectors on the menu for several makes and models. These injectors include major label brands such as Injector Dynamics, DeatschWerks, COBB, among other brands.
If you are converting to E-85 in your Mitsubishi Evolution, or are adding a flex fuel kit to your Subaru WRX, then you will be pleased with a 1300CC injector. If you are trying to make enough boost to leave the runway, we carry 2200CC injectors as well.
Make sure when upgrading those injectors, that you check out our wide selection of fuel pumps, fuel pressure regulators, and even fuel rail kits.

Look up in the sky: is that light a particle? A wave? A drinking implement? In the hands of super talented Los Angeles designer/architects Dan Gottlieb and Penny Herscovitch of Padlab, light is several thousand drinking straws, packed into a honeycomb to make a beautiful pendant.
The Flexicomb lamp uses what is ordinarily the very definition of disposable to make a wonderful, lasting product (and you know how we are suckers for that–pardon the pun). The interaction of the material with light is gorgeous, creating a sort of living organism that changes mysteriously to the touch. Only heat and pressure fuse the straws together into the close-packed honeycomb – no resins or glue. This naturally occurring, ultra-efficient structure (a sort of Bucky Dome in 3D) provides enough stability to make only lights, but even small pieces of furniture.
Equally wondrous is PadLab's Bubbleglass. No, that's not the latest LA designer drug, it's a tripped out way of trapping air in between sheets of glass to make enchanting patterns. The two of them researched traditional Swedish glass blowing techniques and then modified what they learned with digital technology. This new method relies on incising vector images into the glass. The resulting bubble patterns thus become akin to data streams coursing through the material.
In addition, Padlab works with designers and architects to translate patterns, drawings, and text into their bubble vernacular. You could think of it as ASCII art for your window or Braille in a block of ice. But don't let your imagination stop there. The material could easily find a use in any number of architectural elements, from room dividers to fountains, fine art, fixtures, and even dinnerware. The sheets can also be heated over a mold for 3-dimensional objects.
Flexicomb lamps run between $350 and $850.
Flexicomb and Bubbleglass can both be purchased as sheets. Material samples are also available. Email the designers at [email protected] or call 323-383-6777 for more details.

Jasper Dan To Launch New Album 'A Southern Fling' 12th November 2016
- Written by Press Release
- Published in News
"It's been a pretty eventful year for us to say the least," says Jamie Hendry, frontman of Joburg-based Southern Rock outfit Jasper Dan. "Looking back we had our first originals only set on Thursday 5 November 2015 at Rumours Lounge. Our next gig we opened for Wonderboom and Crash Car Burn at the same venue on 28 November so it seems only fitting to be launching our album, A Southern Fling a year later at the place where it all started. We've had an awesome year filled with ups and downs and arguably everything a career in music could hand you. The launch of A Southern Fling finishes of the year in the best way we could have imagined."
The album contains a good mix of Southern Rock influences entrenched in all those Jasper Dan songs which have become favourites with their steady following. The album is produced by revered South African musician and producer Mark Beling who describes the recording of the album as his most enjoyable studio experience to date.
The album is being launched on 12 November at a "one night only" launch party. Be sure you get out to the launch which promises to be a party to remember. Jasper Dan has secured a great line up, and anyone who has been to one of their gigs before knows these are nights not to be missed! Come Saturday night, It's Jasper Dan time once again.
Don't know what they sound like? Listen to Jasper Dan below!

Malcolm-Jamal Warner on Cosby Accusations: 'It's Painful to Watch'
The former <i>Cosby Show</i> star says he "can't speak" to the veracity of the allegations.
Joining with former Cosby Show co-stars Phylicia Rashad and Keshia Knight Pulliam, Malcolm-Jamaal Warner has addressed the long line of sexual-assault allegations against Bill Cosby. In an interview with Billboard, Warner specifically says he "can't speak" to the truth of the allegations against his TV dad (the same words Pulliam used) but says he's saddened by the whole affair. "He's one of my mentors, and he's been very influential and played a big role in my life as a friend and mentor," Warner tells the magazine. "Just as it's painful to hear any woman talk about sexual assault, whether true or not, it's just as painful to watch my friend and mentor go through this."

Gerard Butler: John Carpenter's movies were big for me. 'Salem's Lot' - I don't know why - caught my imagination when the vampire comes flying in through the window or the little boy floats in.
Jonny Lee Miller: I saw 'An American Werewolf In London' when I was really little and that was terrifying, but I think the scariest horror film I've ever seen is 'Jacob's Ladder'.
We're used to seeing a Christopher Lee-style Dracula whereas yours, Gerard, is more Byronic. How much influence did you have in how your Dracula looked?
GB: Can I be honest with you? Not an awful lot. The costumes were pretty much made for me. I think I started filming the day after I arrived because I was doing something else and I had a lot of ideas about the way I wanted to look and pretty much none of them happened. There were another 12 guys making those decisions for me.
Was the dialogue always so minimal in the film?
GB: No, that's a very good point, no it wasn't. I guess I didn't do it [the dialogue] very well so they cut a lot of it out and [producer] Bob Weinstein was like [in American accent], "We want a cool, sexy Dracula, he doesn't have to talk."
Why do you think vampire movies have proved so popular over the years?
JLM: I think it's to do with the attractive side of evil. You know you're immortal, you can do whatever you want and get away with it. It's the seduction of it - I think people are really into that. Sex is a big thing these days and that's a big part of the vampire thing.
GB: I agree with Jonny, I think there's something in the human psyche that's very appealing about the dark side, about evil, about violence, and I think Dracula represents the ultimate of that. He is the ultimate bad-ass, especially for guys. He can do pretty much what he wants and yet there's a depth to him as well: misunderstood, furious, anxious, frustrated.
Did you get the sense you were working on a Wes Craven franchise?
JLM: Not personally speaking, no. You don't think franchise. Wes Craven, when he came down: (a) he's a very nice man and {b} in this kind of - I promised myself I wouldn't use the word but there you go - genre that you know he's well versed in, he's going to have people around him and he's going to have very capable people there who know how to deal with horror and stuff. Of course you're aware of it, but it doesn't filter down.
You filmed a lot on location in New Orleans. How much fun was that?
GB: When I was filming outside the Virgin Megastore, there was a car that drove up and down about three times with two women baring their breasts, so that pretty much sums up New Orleans! I think I gave up within one hour of trying to be sensible in New Orleans and I don't think it was a bad thing. I'm very easily drawn to the dark side, and that was perfect for the movie. It's a hot, sweaty vibrant dark town and it really helped create the feel for the cameras, for the look and for you. The upside of that is, when you're not filming you go out and have fun. You wander the streets until six in the morning.
How did you cope with the physically challenging aspects of the film?
JLM: The challenging part of doing stuff like that is when you've got someone telling you: "Now they're flying across the room at you and it's the first time you've ever seen a vampire." To me, that's more challenging than doing a fight sequence because that's quite easy. You just do that and then the stunt men do the dangerous stuff. But when you're acting to a piece of sticky tape on a camera and it's supposed to be the first time you've ever seen someone come back from the dead, I found that much more challenging.
GB: I had to do a lot of action stuff and stuff on wires and spend nine hours in make up to look like a monster and having white contact lenses put in and then having a harness shoved in my groin and then turned upside down and hanging from a wire. I found that really quite unpleasant! And in certain situations you're asked to do that and act at the same time and that can be quite difficult. And then I had these bloody teeth so I couldn't help biting myself and I wasn't very considerate of the other actors - whenever I went to bite their necks, I'd really go for it. Contact lenses - I couldn't get them in for 40 minutes and I was crying.
You see the coolness of Dracula, hopefully, in the movie, but I certainly wasn't that cool when I was filming it. I had to be tied up and submerged in swamp water on my final day and there was an alligator about 20 feet away that everybody was feeding with turkey and I was tied down so I couldn't get out and I would have to fly out of the water and I put ear plugs and everything up my nose but it didn't matter, it was like two hot spikes going right through my brain. That was particularly uncomfortable.
What about the possibility of a sequel?
GB: I don't know. It was a really cool, fun movie but, oh I'm not even going to say it.
JLM: I don't go in for doing the same kind of thing twice generally, so it would have to be pretty special to do it again.
What was it like working with an old pro like Christopher Plummer?
JLM: He's just fantastic. He's actually incredibly funny and he just jokes around a lot. I had just seen 'The Insider' and that was really strong in my mind and I was just blown away by his performance, so I used to bug him about that all the time. He's extremely professional but he's just one of those people who's easy to get on with and has a wicked sense of humour. I'd love to do something else with him.
GB: My first day filming, I had to grab Christopher Plummer and throw him around the room. I had also just seen 'The Insider' and I couldn't help getting visions of him out of my head. Suddenly I was Dracula and I was standing in front of Christopher Plummer being told to grab his lapels and throw himself against the wall and I thought I'd add to it by going for a kiss on the cheek. He really helped me on my first day because I did suddenly stand there and thought, "Holy s***, I'm Dracula!" He was the funniest guy and I almost thought he was doing it deliberately just to help me. He was great to work with - he was having fun and - bang! - next minute he's all action.
What's next for both of you?
JLM: I'm currently working on a film in Ireland called 'The Escapist'.
GB: I'm over in Ireland doing this insane $95m Disney movie with Matthew McConaughey and Christian Bale, which is called 'Reign Of Fire'.

Dracula has risen from the dead. Again. Cinema's most famous orthodontically-challenged character gets another bite at the cherry with the release of 'Dracula 2001'. This time round, the filmmakers get round the problem of having a pasty vampire by casting a Scotsman, Gerard Butler, in the central role. 'Trainspotting' star Jonny Lee Miller, meanwhile, stars as a budding vampire slayer.

Ten ways to make lectures more dynamic
Captivate students from the beginning
In secondary teacher training, one of the first things that teachers are taught is the concept of the 'plenary', otherwise know as the 'starter'. The idea is to start each lesson with something short and interesting that is going to settle the students and engage them with the lesson. The concept of having something at the beginning of each lecture to settle and engage the students, is a worthwhile one.
Organisaton is everything!
I am going to go out on a limb here and say that it would be extremely difficult to give a dynamic lecture without prior organisation. Spending time thinking about the contents of the lecture provides you with the opportunity to evaluate the information that needs to be included. It also gives you time to think about the best method of delivery, for example, some subject content might be more suitable to a Power-Point presentation than others. Preparing a lecture in advance also allows you time to research valuable resources, such as educational videos, YouTube clips, academic articles etc…
Be animated
Try to vary the intonation (pitch and tone) of your voice, it doesn't matter how interesting the contents, a monotone voice is guaranteed to send a lecture room full of students to sleep. For a good example of this watch the teachers' delivery style in 'Ferris Beullers' Day Off.' It is easy when lecturing to present the information to a few students (usually the ones directly in front or who look enthusiastic), in order to engage all students it is vital to maintain eye contact with the whole room and not just a few. Use physical gestures to emphasize points. Break away from the lectern or podium in order to maintain contact with all students. Be conversational in tone. Use humour, since students are more motivated when they're having fun. It might sound scary but filming a lecture and watching it back allows you to see what your students see. It is amazing what you can learn from doing this.
Adopt student centered learning strategies
Student-centered learning is all about placing the student at the centre of the teaching process. It is making students an active and a responsible contributor in their own learning. Teaching has moved away from the 'one size fits all' pedagogy and instead now embraces the fact that students learn in different ways. This doesn't mean that you need to spend hours planning individual lessons for each student, but it does mean that we should incorporated a range of strategies into our teaching. For example, using educational videos and images for the visual learners. Bringing in models and artefacts for the kinaesthetic learners. Have group sessions where the students have to move around the room and don't remain static for the bodily-kinaesthetic learners. Thinking about students learning needs helps us to think more about our teaching style.
Question time
One of the most effective tools a lecturer has at their disposal and which ensures interaction, is to ask and encourage questions. Questions can be used as a plenary, can stimulate interaction throughout the lecture and can be used to re-visit content at the end. Involving students through questioning helps to maintain their attention, which is vital when information is complex and lectures are long.
Change can be good
Don't just stick with the tried and tested format, week in, week out. When we have been teaching for a long time it is easy to stick with what has worked in the past and not try new things. I personally think that it is good to try new strategies and new ways of doing things. Not only for the student's interest, but also for our own It might be that the original way of doing something was the best way, but until you try something new, how will you know for sure?
Make the lecture interactive
An interactive lecture is one that includes and encourages student participation. Using techniques that encourage all students to contribute, helps to promote student retention and learning of the content presented during lecture. Strategies such as 'think, pair, share', whereby students are think about a problem initially on their own, then with and partner and finally share with a group or the class, is great at encouraging active learning and participation.
We are fortunate to be lecturing at a time when there are so many technological resources available to us, which we can use to improve and enhance the learning experience for our students. However, I believe that is really important that we use the resource that best fits our lecture and not the other way around. My three favourite technological resources are: Keynote (Macs equivalent to Power-Point), which is great for summarizing key points and presenting visual stimulus.
Educational videos
, especially as there is such a great selection available now, which are both engaging and informative. Finally, Virtual Learning Environments such as Moodle, which are great for ensuring that the students continue to be engaged with the content after the lectures, have ended.
Student Feedback
Although it can be scary hearing what students' think about your lecture, it is a valuable way to find out what is working and what isn't working. Very often we use questionnaire at the end of the year to gauge feedback but it can be beneficial to get feedback on a more regular basis, for example after each unit or when you have tried something new. It is also a mistake to think that this has to be done with a questionnaire or a survey. Sometimes just saying to the students "what did you think about the video I showed today?' Or "was that a useful resource?" Provides valuable feedback that you can use to inform future planning.
Closing time
Make sure that you end the lecture in a structured way. Re-focus student's attention to the main points of the lecture and briefly explain what they will be learning next. It is important to make these links so that students understand where the information they are learning fits in the grand scheme of things. The end of the lecture is also a good time to collect any impromptu feedback.
By ending your lectures well you have given students the chance to 'come full circle' by providing a: positive start, purposeful middle and reflective end, all of which are key ingredients when creating a dynamic lecture.

The bacteria can spread rapidly through the body (sepsis), and needs to be treated quickly. Many patients suffer permanent scarring and may even require amputation of a limb. About 25% of the patients who are infected with necrotizing fasciitis will die from the infection. According to the CDC, 10,000 - 15,000 American patients per year are infected with necrotizing fasciitis. Of them 2,000 to 3,000 die. Most hospital cases of necrotizing fasciitis occur in patients who have open wounds, in particular those who have either had surgery, or have been hospitalized due to an injury-causing accident. Because of the nature of the infection, necrotizing fasciitis is not a hospital infection that patients can do much to control except to be sure that the wounds stay clean.
Although NF has become increasingly common in the United States since the late 1980s, intensive surveillance efforts for the disease in our country have not been conducted since 1991.

Charlie doles out kisses on New Year's Eve--for a price

Two observations. First, I'm guessing the Papee is a typo and it refers to Virginia Rappe (or Rapee depending on whose spelling is correct). I think this is the closest I've seen them connected (and by lips no less) in print. Second, is the timing such that "Private Winter" is the cause, or result, of filming the closing scenes of "Shoulder Arms" at the Arcadia Balloon School.ReplyDelete
Happy New Year to all (we can still hope).Replies
Chaplin filmed the scenes at the Balloon School a few months before in August or Sept. 1918 so it's hard to say if someone from the school was at this event because of that. It was a Red Cross benefit so military people would have been there. It may have just been a coincidence.Delete
You might be right that Virginia Papee is supposed to be Virginia Rappe.

According to Michael West, John J. Sánchez, Stephen R. McNutt in their paper Periodically Triggered Seismicity at Mount Wrangell, Alaska, After the Sumatra Earthquake, The magnitude of the earthquake was originally recorded as 9.0 on the Richter scale, but has been upgraded to between 9.1 and 9.3. At this magnitude, it is the second largest earthquake ever recorded on a seismograph. This earthquake was also reported to be the longest duration of faulting ever observed, lasting between 500 and 600 seconds, and it was large enough that it caused the entire planet to vibrate at least half an inch, or over a centimetre. It also triggered earthquakes in other locations as far away as Alaska.
A disaster of this proportion prompted massive humanitarian aid and relief efforts from the entire world, and according to figures from the United Nations and quoted by the BBC it seems that $6.7 billion were pledged in total. However, the same news report goes on to say that some governments have yet to deliver yet $550m of the humanitarian aid pledged for the victims.
The UN figures show that the US has given just 38% of the aid it pledged. In Europe, the UK, France and Italy, as well as the European Commission, have also failed to fulfil their pledges so far.
According to the UN figures, the Commission still has to pay about $70m while the UK has $12m outstanding.
The UK says it has given £195m towards humanitarian assistance and long-term reconstruction, £55m of this through the European Union.
Among Asian countries, China and Australia are among those yet to pay up while Germany only paid its full $128m sum in late December.

A detailed summary of expenditure by agency and country can be accessed by clicking this http://ocha.unog.ch/ets/
However, the most significant development was the way the world wide web came to the rescue of relief efforts, and demonstrated how effectively the Internet could be used to mobilise resources, provide key information and initiate action.
In fact, the blog that started it all - SEA-EAT blog - provide the template for future relief efforts conducted online and was replicated during Hurricane Katrina and the Mumbai Floods, to give two examples.
Bahrain-based blogger Angelo Embuldeniya, who was one of the people behind these blogs, said that the only reason why they did it was because 'there was a need'. It was a spontaneous response to what he and his friends (across the world) saw and felt they had to do something about it.
But at the time they had no clue that they were onto something really big and it was only later "when our bandwidth zapped on two occasions in under 24 hours, we had 500gigs of data transfer and we found the wiki and blog going under and inaccessible error codes popping up instead.. when we checked the stats we saw that we had about on average - 4000 people an hour, and in two days we peaked at more than half a million."
As a result of their success in the Tsunami and Katrina and other relief efforts, he and his friends have now launched re-grouped themselves as the "World Wide Help Group" and set up a dedicated blog with a specific objective of 'using the web to point help in the direction where it's most needed.'
The point is, there was a need and a group of young people without massive funds at their disposal responded with what they knew best, and were able to make a positive impact. Massive funds were not required but just a little imagination.
Now just think that the global military expenditure totals nearly trillion dollars - and yet, the nearly $6 billion pledged have not reached the victims.
It makes one wonder, and I mean, seriously wonder.

The darker colours are beautiful and dry within seconds, meaning the cream doesn't sink into the crease of the eye or create a line. The result is a flawless and long-lasting smokey eye that stays put from morning until night. I've been using these three colours and I adore them - a rich red, golden brown and pewter grey. Sometimes it takes too long to create a more striking piece of eye makeup, especially in the mornings, but these have become my staple products to use when I know I'm going out after work and I want my makeup to last all day. I can't recommend them enough... especially if you're not a wizz with the eyeshadow.

Just figure we could start a thread to share what we're seeing out there, instead of having to look at a bunch of different threads to find out.
So over the past couple weeks I've been seeing some does on the way home from work here and there but the last week seems like business is picking up (granted this is all between 10-11 pm). The wife said we had 2 does in the food plot/corn feeder last night before dark. Then as I turned on our road last night, came around a 90° curve and there stood a nice tight 8 pointer standing 5' off the rd. Headlights hit him and he jumped into the bean field but I was able to keep my lights on him for a few seconds to get a better look before he trotted off. Not sure where he came from (maybe the 2 big corn fields down the rd they cut yesterday) cuz I don't have any pics of him all year but I was obviously stoked to see him 150 yards from my driveway. Not sure if he was a shooter for me yet but definitely a nice deer with a lot of potential! Hopefully the wife can get a crack at him!

If you get a call from 202-609-7070, don't pick up
WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service has issued a warning about scam artists targeting Americans through their phones.
The scammers usually call from a cloned number with a Washington D.C. area code "202," reported PIX11.com. The number 202-609-7070 has been frequent in complaints in the month of August.
The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration said it has received 90,000 complaints and claimed 1,100 victims to the tune of $5 million.
"There are clear warning signs about these scams, which continue at high levels throughout the nation," IRS Commissioner John Koskinen said. "Taxpayers should remember their first contact with the IRS will not be a call from out of the blue, but through official correspondence sent through the mail."
The IRS:
- Never asks for credit card, debit card or prepaid card information over the telephone.
- Never insists that taxpayers use a specific payment method to pay tax obligations
- Never requests immediate payment over the telephone and will not take enforcement action immediately following a phone conversation. Taxpayers usually receive prior notification of IRS enforcement action involving IRS tax liens or levies.
"A big red flag for these scams are angry, threatening calls from people who say they are from the IRS and urging immediate payment," Koskinen said. "This is not how we operate. People should hang up immediately and contact TIGTA or the IRS."
The phone number to call is 1-800-366-4484.
Other characteristics of these scams include:
- Scammers use fake names and IRS badge numbers. They generally use common names and surnames to identify themselves.
- Scammers may be able to recite the last four digits of a victim's Social Security number.
- Scammers spoof the IRS toll-free number on caller ID to make it appear that it's the IRS calling.
- Scammers sometimes send bogus IRS emails to some victims to support their bogus calls.
- Victims hear background noise of other calls being conducted to mimic a call site.
- After threatening victims with jail time or driver's license revocation, scammers hang up and others soon call back pretending to be from the local police or DMV, and the caller ID supports their claim
