|Dylan in London, 1966. Photo by Barry Feinstein.
Bob Dylan, who celebrates a birthday today, was asked early in his career about his idols: "If I'm on stage, my idol--even my biggest idol when I'm on stage, the one that's running through my head all the time, is Charlie Chaplin."1
He impacted Dylan not only on stage but in other ways as well: "He influences me, even in the way I sing. His films really sank in. I like to see the humor in the world. There is so little of it around. I guess I'm always conscious of the Chaplin tramp."2 Therefore it's not surprising that Dylan would include references to his idol in his radio show "Theme Time Radio Hour" which aired on SiriusXM from 2006-2009. Here are a few of those clips:
During an episode entitled "Street Map," Dylan briefly mentions Chaplin's 1917 film Easy Street.
In a show called "Work & Jobs," he discusses Jackie Coogan and plays a brief interview clip in which Jackie talks about working with Chaplin on The Kid.
Lastly, Dylan plays Judy Garland's version of "Smile" during an episode called "Happiness." He explains that the melody was written by Chaplin for his film Modern Times, which, not coincidently, is also the name of a 2006 album by Dylan.

Growing up, I was a huge fan of the TV show "That Girl." Watching this at an early age, the show fueled my desire to be a single, liberated, financially independent, strong woman living and working in Manhattan. And I might add her ability to be a feminist while being fearlessly fashion forward.
I did move to Manhattan. I am a strong, financially independent, liberated and by circumstance, single woman. I embraced feminism without sacrificing a fashion forward sensibility. I can't thank you enough, Ann Marie.
And by the way, you were right not to marry Donald.

How does freedom dress?
"cloth" is a video art piece intended to start an inter/intracultural conversation about women, identity, restriction, agency, freedom, and (mis)perceptions thereof. There is a current dichotomy—perpetuated by both academia and popular media—between the supposedly "empowered" and "liberated" Western woman and the "oppressed" veiled woman, as the veil has become "to Western eyes" (Leila Ahmed--Women and Gender in Islam, 1992) a symbol of the oppression of women. This universalising claim, which assumes that a veiled woman would never choose (i.e. is forced) to cover her head, also suggests that the speaker is able to identify a liberated woman and an oppressed woman based solely on her clothing. Because it diverts attention away from forms of structural discrimination and oppression that women (veiled or not) experience around the world, the obsession with veiling as the symbol of women's oppression impedes thoughtful, productive discussion around gender equality.
It is our belief that divisions along lines such as clothing, religion, race, and socioeconomic status undermine women's collective capacity to challenge gender-based oppression. Moreover, when certain groups of women have considerably more voice and power, these separations inevitably reinforce and reproduce hierarchies that discriminate against and devalue certain groups of women.
The hierarchical division between "liberated" Western women and "oppressed" veiled women poses a political and social problem, which obstructs genuine understanding and dialogue about women and between women of different cultural backgrounds (Chandra Mohanty--Under Western Eyes, 1988). In the last few decades, several critiques of this dichotomy have entered academic discourses, challenging the homogeneous portrayal of veiled women, and the assumed mutual exclusivity of veiling and empowerment. Although we engage with critical discourses in academia, our film is an attempt to translate such critiques into a medium accessible to a wider audience.

A two-pronged [film + poem] response to those who tell queer women "It's just a phase."
something is wrong
this is temporary
sweet but not serious
curious but not aware
ill but arousing
a beautiful phase
drowning in tears, not their own
fleeting, confused
oscillating between feeling and numbness
most depictions of confused women don't reflect confused women
they reflect a confused gaze
a dirty lens
the dirt is invisible
it's called discourse
a cocktail of history, stories, and science
accounts sans accountability
phase is your film, of which we wanted no part
what is seen through this frame is not reality
it is a view
a view that won't define or lasso our experience
this gaze is not required
this gaze may seem loving
this gaze deceives you
what is a phase, is this gaze
not our experience
we politely exit
in our absence, your frame becomes visible
see you in the future
by Ania Catherine
"I don't get it. I'm just worried about you. It's just a phase."
We decided to call-out the less visible and seemingly innocent discourses that minimize romantic love between women.
PHASE has two prongs: a SAMANIA film and a poem by Ania Catherine. "It's just a phase." Find a woman who hasn't heard these words regarding her attraction to or relationship with another woman. PHASE is a response. There has been a recent and drastic increase in the visibility of female-female relationships throughout media. However, subtle and implicit forms of delegitimation and ridiculization of relationships between women are omnipresent. As French intellectual Michel Foucault has written, power's "success is proportional to its ability to hide its own mechanisms"; PHASE highlights the less visible (and therefore underestimated) yet still powerful forms of heterosexism. Increased media presence should not be conflated with sexual equality. The social acceptability of such comments needs to be challenged, as these subtle forms of discrimination could be easily eliminated were people made more aware of their harm.

Online tools from David Estey Piano Service and Piano Buyers can be used for piano appraisals. However, they are not likely to return an accurate value because of variations in appraisal methods and in the condition of the piano being appraised.
Appraising a piano is time-consuming and requires some expertise as well as either a physical inspection or high-quality photos and copies of maintenance and restoration records. If the buyer is interested in trading in his piano to upgrade to a more expensive model, some companies are willing to perform a free appraisal to assess the value of the instrument they might soon possess. At Learn-Piano, experts recommend searching websites such as eBay for a piano similar to the one being appraised to get a general estimate of its value. Other appraisers use a depreciation schedule or subtract the restoration cost from the value of a mint condition piano.

Utility companies process a large amount of information on a daily basis. Given the need for strict regulatory compliance and their high customer numbers this documentation and data needs to be easily and quickly accessible.
It is therefore important that any electronic document management software solution can be easily integrated into their existing back office systems within a fast turnaround. ORS Group works with a number of utility companies within the UK to provide bespoke solutions resulting in improved efficiency, better communication with customers, as well as greatly reducing costs.
Compliance is always high on the agenda with utility companies. Compliance means confirming to a rule such as a specification, a law, a policy or a standard. In the case of utility companies this will mean managing and maintaining data as evidence that actions have been taken and compliance has therefore been met.
The utilities sector is amongst the most heavily regulated in UK, if not the world. Utility companies are governed by a complex set of rules and regulations that govern how the business is conducted, how customers are treated and at the heart of this is information.

Glory to God! So many lives have been blessed and transformed via the ministry of the man of God, Pastor Chris. Through various platforms like the internet and mobile platforms, television, radio, books, CDs, DVDs, a vast network of churches and campus fellowships, conferences and healing services; several millions continue to experience supernatural victories in their lives as they receive and put the Word of God to work.
Below is a selection of some of these inspiring accounts. We invite you to read and also to take advantage of this platform to glorify the Lord as you share your own testimonies. Remember that when you testify of God's goodness, the miracles become established in your life. God bless you!
Thank you so much Pastor for teaching us how to maintain our package of Blessings given to us by God. I and my entire family have been so blessed. We had extra prayer times, besides the Yookos Global prayer sessions with our man of God, Pastor Chris. Indeed, great things began to happen in our lives; one that stood out is the final year results of our children.
One of our kids fell sick two days to the start of her exam and only through prayers could we bring her back to normal for her to be able to sit for her exams till the end. HALLELUJAH!
Two days to her exams, which was supposed to commence on Monday, she fell sick. She had attempted suicide by taking an overdose of pills in order to end her life. As a result of this, she experienced nauseating feelings and vomited frequently… She told us later that a voice asked her to drink the pills because she's not worthy to live with us and also to live on this earth. In fact, the voice told her so many evil things that I can't take time here to mention.
She became so weak and could not even stand on her feet. We gathered together in the house on Sunday evening (which was the next day) and prayed. After that, we decided to pray every 1:00am (family prayer chain), and each member of the family had to pray at that particular time no matter where he or she was.
Pastor, that prayer chain still continues in our home till this day. After the prayers that Sunday evening, we gave her some milk to drink. Praise God! On the Monday of her exams, she got up strong and ready for the exam. The GCE (General Certificate of Education) exam took three weeks and to the glory of God, there wasn't a day she could not sit for her exams. She even got up every morning to revise her work. Guest what? When the results came out, she was successful in six of her papers which was more than what was required. Praise the Lord!
I'm very grateful to God for June, the month of prayer, for it made us to pray fervently and achieve results. Not just ordinary but extraordinary results. I told my child that she must pass because the God I serve is a living and faithful God, and HE has made us victorious in every situation in life no matter what. In every situation we are faced with, our end is VICTORY! Thank you Pastor!
It all began one Saturday morning in Nigeria, when I had to travel from Benin to Asaba. I hurriedly stepped out with my bags, suit and the bread (that I had bought), leaving behind my laptop bag in the cab. This bag also contained all my school and travel documents. When I got home, I remembered that I had left my laptop bag in the cab.
This was an overwhelming experience for me because I needed those vital documents for a job interview and also, a passport which I required for an international exam that I was scheduled to write was also in that bag. At first, I was calm on the outside but troubled on the inside, because my documents don't have any contact number on them. Then I remembered a message by Pastor Chris that I had watched. In that message he said, 'when you need something done or when you are going through a difficult situation, don't fret; rather start singing "wonderful Jehovah, Jehovah wonderful". I sang it while still wondering around my neighbourhood, and I also spoke in tongues a little bit. I said to God, 'You are the Omniscient God, you know where my bag is and where I am now, please if there is no contact on the documents, put one', and then I made a pledge to Him. After a few minutes, I got a call from the cab driver, telling me that my bag and documents were safe. The next day, I got the bag with everything complete. Nothing missing! This is my testimony. It was indeed a miracle! Thank you Sir!

Inclusive Design challenges with UI Widgets
Submitted by Prem Nawaz Khan (@mpnkhan) on Wednesday, 12 December 2012
Technical level
Session type
Takeaways: - Learn how difficult it is to use UI widgets - Step by Step Guide to to make your widgets usable for Keyboard only, Screen reader, Mobile users etc. - Simple Demo on Drop Down widget
There are various UI Libraries to build components like modals, tooltips, and grids to people who don't spend a lot of time writing front-end code.
Geeks always like to rewrite the code to satisfy the objective of sleeknes, performance etc.
But One thing most of them forget is the inclusion of Person with Disabilities and other devices like Mobile, Tablets, TV etc.
While Responsive design helps to adapt to different screen resolutions , it is upon the developers shoulders to make the widgets usable to EVERYONE. This Session will explain on what is required to make it accessible and how to do them
Anything they would like to take the notes on..
Speaker bio
I have been speaking at PayPal and previously at Yahoo as part of my Work.
Thought of spreading the word of Accessibility to outside world Since there are too many JavaScript library which claims sleek and which lags inclusive Design..

I'm interested in This talk
1Pulak Bhattacharyya (@pulakb)
I am too interested in this talk.
1Rahul Gonsalves (@rahul)
Prem, happy to see that you are going to be talking about accessibility.
I think that your talk should focus briefly on "Why Accessibility", as I am not sure whether it's as ubiquituously understood as we would like.
Also, could you share links to any previous presentations that you have given?
1Prem Nawaz Khan (@mpnkhan) Proposer
Hi Rahul, I wanted to cover the Things to Do for Web Accessibility as a JavaScript developer. Topic's like what is Accessibility, why Accessibility has been covered by many.. But my concern is the lack of Widget accessibility by new libraries..

At the company's Gamer's Day in San Francisco this week, Capcom revealed that the third edition to its sleeper hit series Phoenix Wright will hit the Nintendo DS system in the US this September.
Titled Phoenix Wright: Trials and Tribulations, this sequel will actually have chapters that flash back to Phoenix Wright's early years where he meets up with his buxom mentor Mia Fey. In fact, a portion of the game will put players in the role of Mia as she tries to defend Phoenix Wright in court. The game will explain much of the history behind the main characters of the previous two games in the series.
This sequel will bring back other familiar faces, including Maya Fey and Godot. The Psych-Lock system that was introduced in Phoenix Wright: Justice for All will make a return in this follow up, as well as the usual progression of the investigations and court phase that makes Phoenix Wright such a successful series for Capcom. Expect the same manga-style presentation of the other series, as well as the touch-screen interface and microphone support where you can interrupt proceedings with a hearty "Objection" and "Hold it!"

Look for pasta dishes and entrées such as osso buco, veal chop and New York Strip (Italian-style, of course). For dessert, try the crème brûlée, served in a sandolo-shaped pastry shell. An entrée earns you a ticket for a gondola ride around the man-made lagoon. Take it. It's fun!

See, there are several essentials of investing (you can check out a great article on the topic by clicking the link) in real estate you should know that will help you extraordinarily.
As a real estate investor who's just a novice a lot of the things you hear on the internet may seem confusing, difficult or even completely unhelpful. Well, the truth about it all is it doesn't need to be, in this article, I'll break things down so they are simple for you to understand.
If you want to construct a real estate investment business, there are basically 3 key things you need. They are:
1)Finding deals
2)Funding deals
3)Cashing out on deals
1)Finding Deals
So, how do you find the right deals to invest in as a real estate investor? Well, there are lots of ways to skin a cat just like there are lots of ways to find a deal. To keep things simple, we'll start with the foundation, (link to another great article about the foundation of a great real estate business) and the foundation is this: before you begin looking for deals, you have to know what your looking for. So, how do you know what to look for? simple, you set a criterion based off of the type of property that would be a no brainer investment for you. For instance, you may filter the types of properties you want to purchase between things like residential and commercial, or between condominiums or detached homes. The principles are the same, you're basically narrowing down your options from the countless types of real estate investments to the ones best suited to your level of understanding. Once you do this, you can begin marketing to find properties that fit your criteria.
To market to find properties that fit your criteria, you can post on craigslist the type of property you are looking for. You can go online and check different websites to see if they have homes that fit your criteria. Now, both of the two previous methods I named work. However, if you want another thing you can do to find deals, you can contact your local realtor and ask him to give you partial access to the MLS and set the criteria your looking for if it's a home to get notified anytime a home that fits your criteria is listed for sale. A buddy of mine got some great deals by contacting his real estate broker in south surrey. If it worked for him in his market, it can probably work for you in yours.
There's a lot more you can do to find deals, and a lot more you can go into. But, to keep things simple, I'll leave it at this so you don't get overwhelmed.
2) Funding Deals
There are main ways to fund deals. You can use creative financing, conventional financing, and private financing. Private financing typically comes from a single individual such as a family member, a close friend or a single investor. Conventional financing involves getting financing from financial institutions like banks via a mortgage or in some cases insurance companies, both of which are considered institutional lenders. Lastly, there is creative financing which is likely the best source for you if you don't have many connections or don't qualify for regular mortgages. There are many different types of creative financing (hence the name creative financing) however, to keep things simple, I'm going to be talking about hard-money lenders. Hard money lenders area group of individuals (usually investors) that invest in a fund that's basically a bank for real estate. The beauty of this type of financing is its asset based lending so they decide whether or not to give you the money based off of the value of the asset you're looking to get a loan from rather than your own credit rating and ability to pay off the loan like conventional lenders.
3) Cashing out on deals
If you did your previous few steps right, mainly the one with setting your criteria and you have hit the nail right on the head and have gotten a great property that makes you money through cash flow, or appreciation, then this part should be fairly simple. If you're looking to flip the property and sell it, you can simple list if with a superstar agent and get it sold and cash out, if you're looking to make money off the cash flow, then you can just keep taking in cash flow (duh?) and if you you're waiting for it to appreciate, you simple sell it when it comes time to sell it.
This was my take on real estate investing simplified for beginners. This may not be everything there is in the world to know about real estate investing, however, I do hope it was enough to get you started. Wish you the best of luck with your investing.

Dan Lepard's Cider Vinegar English Muffins
Dan Lepard has hit a home run with these English muffins. They're what I imagine English muffins should be and, in my opinion, they're about as good as it gets. Mr. Lepard posted a link to his recipe in The Guardian newspaper article, which I have inserted below the photo.
I used an electric skillet to cook them. No oil, just "dry-fry/bake". Preheat the skillet, with the cover on to get it heated like a small oven, before placing the muffins into the skillet. The lid goes on the skillet while they're cooking, which holds the heat nicely and allows them to steam a bit. I followed his directions and they're very easy to make and, as I said, his recipe produces terrific muffins. For those who like a nice sour bite, you'll really like these muffins. The dough needs to be prepared the night before, as it has to stay in the regrigerator overnight.
Mr. Lepard calls for 50 ml of cider vinegar in his recipe, which gives the muffins a nice crisp, slightly sour taste on the order of a sourdough. For my taste the sourness was fine. However, I think next time I will reduce the vinegar slightly to about 30 ml vinegar mixed with 20 ml water just to see the difference. I took the liberty of adding/imbedding some conversion notes (without making any changes to the original recipe) i.e. ml to ounces and cm to inches, etc. Hope it was alright to do that. I [bracketed] my entries and italicized them so it would be clear as to what I added. Mr. Lepard says they can be made either in rectangles or rounds. I chose 4 inch rounds because that was the largest cutter I have. Mr. Lepard calls for 12 cm diameters, which is close to 4 3/4 inches. He make them large to compensate for shrinkage after cutting. As for the leftover dough, after cutting the rounds, I simply rolled it up, kneaded it a bit and rolled it out and made 2 more muffins, for a total of 9 muffins. They're great toasted with the holes absorbing the butter and marmalade.

What the Americans call an English muffin we used to call, well, a muffin. But since those little cakes in paper cases have invaded the supermarket shelves and stolen the name, our own little plain bread muffin has become neglected in Britain. In the US, bakers have raised the quality of their English muffins to something close to perfection. Crisp on the outside, sour and holey inside, and chewy when toasted and slathered with butter. Make these and you'll see what we've been missing all these years. In this recipe, the dough gets mixed and lightly kneaded the night before and is left in the refrigerator overnight to rise slowly. You can even leave it until the following evening if that works better for you.
Makes 8-10 muffins
50g unsalted butter
100ml warm water (by weight: approximately 4 oz. or 116 g.)
50ml cider vinegar [by weight: approximately 2 oz. Or 58g.]
100ml plain live yoghurt [slightly less than ½ cup]
1 large egg
1 level tsp salt
375g strong white flour
2 tsp easy-blend yeast [I used instant yeast and it worked fine]
Oil for the bowl
The night before, melt the butter in a saucepan [use stainless steel with the vinegar], then remove from the heat and beat in the warm water with the vinegar, yoghurt, egg and salt until smooth. Measure the flour and yeast into a bowl, tip [pour] in the butter and vinegar mixture and stir to a thick batter. Cover the bowl and leave for 10 minutes. Lightly oil the work surface and knead the dough gently for 10-15 seconds (see Basic techniques). Scrape the bowl clean of scraps of dough, wipe the inside with a little oil, place the dough back in the bowl, cover with a plate or cling film and place in the refrigerator overnight.
The following morning (or evening), lightly oil a dinner tray and upturn the dough on to it. Stretch and fold the dough in by thirds (see Basic techniques), then cover with a tea towel and leave to rest for 1-2 hours until it warms and begins to rise again. [It takes a full 2 hours at 75 deg. F.]
Line a dinner tray with a tea towel and dredge the surface liberally with flour. Gently roll out the dough [on a work surface] about 1½ cm [approximately 5/8 inch] thick, trying not to knock too much of the gas from it. Cut the dough into discs using a 12cm-diameter [approximately 4 ¾ inches] cutter (yes, that large, as they'll pull inwards as they bake), or take a sharp knife and cut the dough into 6 rectangles or something close to that. Carefully lay the cut dough on the floured cloth. Dust the tops with flour and cover with a tea towel. Leave for 1½-2 hours [they'll take the full 2 hours at 75 deg. F.] or until doubled in height.
Get a large heavy-bottomed frying pan with a snug-fitting lid if possible. Place on a moderate heat until the surface is hot but not scorching.
Uncover the muffins and flip them one by one on to your hand with the cloth, then slide them into the pan. You should be able to fit 3 or 4 in at a time. Cover the pan with the lid to create a bit of steam to help them rise and cook for 2-3 minutes. Then check to see that they're not burning. If the bottom is a good brown, flip them over using a spatula. Cook on the other side for about 3-4 minutes. [I used an electric skillet with a lid, set at 340 deg. F. cooking them in a dry pan for 6 minutes on side 1 and 4 minutes on side 2 until they reached an internal temperature of 190 deg. F.] When done, remove to a wire rack, drape a tea towel over to keep them soft, and continue with the remaining muffins. Freeze in a zip-lock bag as soon as they're cold.
Crispy bacon muffins
Add 250g smoked streaky bacon, cooked until crisp and chopped finely, in with the flour, then continue with the recipe above.

Hornets aiming for rebound against Wasps
WINCHESTER – Shortly after Shenandoah University's football team wrapped up its loss to Randolph-Macon College last week, head coach Scott Yoder stressed the importance of the Hornets' ability to mentally bounce back from its third straight loss in an Old Dominion Athletic Conference opener. SU now must show it's moved on against another team that has made the Hornets' life in the ODAC quite difficult.
The Hornets travel to Emory & Henry for this afternoon's 1 p.m. kickoff in SU's first road game in over a month. Not only has Shenandoah never beaten the Wasps since joining the ODAC in 2012, but Emory & Henry has raced out to a four-touchdown lead in each of the teams' last two meetings, including a 26-0 lead in the first quarter of the Wasps' 54-21 win in Winchester last season.
"You couple that with where are we mentally as a team, this is a huge week for us. This is a huge week for us," Yoder said earlier this week. "Can we go down, get focused, play well and claw out a W? It would be a huge thing for our program. That's what we need to do. It's that simple but it's not gonna be easy."
Emory & Henry is 1-3 overall after dropping its own conference opener to preseason ODAC favorite Washington and Lee, 49-23, last week, although the Wasps are second in the league in total offense (468.8 yards per game). E&H ranks fourth in the ODAC in rushing offense (207 yards per game) and passing offense (261.8 yards per game).
Last season Shenandoah (2-2) surrendered 631 yards to the Wasps, including 301 yards on the ground. Timmy Chang is in his first season as the offensive coordinator under Emory & Henry head coach Curt Newsome but Yoder said not much has changed about the Wasps' spread scheme.
"It's one of those offenses where you just feel like you're never right," Yoder said. "They're gonna run it. They're gonna RPO (run-pass option) you, so if you commit guys into the box they're gonna run-pass it and throw it out to their skill kids."
The Hornets rank third in the ODAC in scoring defense (23.5 points allowed), total defense (355 yards allowed) and pass defense (161 yards allowed) and fourth in rush defense (194 yards allowed).
SU has allowed at least 236 yards rushing in two of its last three games and three straight 140-yard rushers (R-MC's Tre Frederick carried 43 times for 236 yards against the Hornets last week). Emory & Henry has three running backs – Kendrick Kube (team-high 282 yards rushing), Isaiah Rodgers and Sam Wagner – with at least 222 yards rushing.
Shenandoah is tied for second in the ODAC in turnovers forced (eight), while Emory & Henry has turned the football over 11 times in four games and is minus-seven in turnover margin.
"They're turning it over more than they should be. But they're averaging 31 points a game and they're second in the league in total offense in a very offensive league, so that tells you something," Yoder said.
Junior quarterback Kevin Saxton is in his third season as Emory & Henry's starter and has completed 61.9 percent of his passes for 920 yards, seven touchdowns and four interceptions, although Yoder said he expects the Hornets' defense to see plenty of sophomore QB Dominic Dunnaville as well. Dunnaville, the more mobile of the two, Yoder said, has completed 14 of 24 passes for 127 yards while rushing for 64 yards and two touchdowns on 13 carries while consistently rotating with Saxton, often from snap to snap.
Shenandoah's own offense is still seeking proper balance after continuing to struggle in finding a consistent rushing attack in last week's loss. The Hornets have mustered just 34 yards on the ground over the last three games while surrendering 12 sacks in the span and have dropped to last place in the ODAC in rush offense (70 yards per game).
Emory & Henry's defense is allowing 36.2 points and 281.8 rushing yards per game, ranking seventh in the eight-team ODAC in both categories.
"I think what they are missing right now is they've had some really good linebackers and now they're playing some younger guys," Yoder said. "I think three of their top four tacklers are defensive linemen. They've got some really nice defensive linemen.
"They're gonna be well coached. You're gonna have to earn everything and we're gonna have to play well. In the ODAC you don't get cheap ones."
The Hornets do boast the conference's best passing offense, as they are averaging 306.8 yards through the air behind sophomore quarterback Hayden Bauserman, who is completing 62.6 percent of his passes for 1,170 yards, 12 touchdowns and five interceptions.
Michael Ashwell leads a bang-up receiving corps with 23 receptions for 239 yards and two touchdowns, one of five Hornets with at least two scoring grabs. Running back Cedrick Delaney, who consistently works as a slot receiver, has 22 catches for 199 yards, while fellow senior Qlyl Middelijn has 21 grabs for 211 yards and a team-high three touchdowns.

I learned to feel comfortable in the water on something like this. When we were kids, my Dad attached a wood dowel to a bit of rope and attached that to a 2'x4' sheet of plywood. The tow rope hooked on under the front of the plywood and dragged it like a sled. It was excellent to teach us kids it's not the end of the world if you fall in the water. You could sit, stand, cut, go backwards... Whatever you were brave enough for. After a couple weeks, the skis came out and the board was put away.
I see a market with this, but like a razor scooter... It's for the kids. I absolutely detest tubes, but I can't help but laugh when I take kids out. If it makes them happy, I'm happy. A day at the lake in the sunshine, with everyone having fun, beats a -28 pass with two other people any day.

It happens. You go on a diet and you're making good progress and then suddenly your weight loss slows to a crawl or you stop losing altogether. Your diet has plateaued, but by making a few simple changes you can get it back on track.
Eat more protein
Your body expends a lot of energy digesting protein so by eating meals and snacks containing protein you give your metabolism an automatic boost. Also, protein digests slowly, which helps you feel full longer—so you are less apt to overeat. Another plus: protein is essential for maintaining healthy muscles tissue—your body's fat and calorie-burning machine—so getting plenty of protein in your diet helps keep your metabolism going strong. Some good options: white chicken, white turkey, beef or steak, fish, egg whites, tofu, or legumes, such as beans, peas, and lentils.
MORE: A healthy detox in just five days
Did you know your muscles keep burning calories even while you are at rest? The more toned muscle you have the more calories you burn; for every pound of muscle you gain, you'll burn upwards of 35-50 calories more daily. If you are trying to lose weight, focus your workouts on strengthening exercises such as pushups, abdominal crunches, squats, lifting free weights and barbells, stretching with resistance bands, and more.
Eat throughout the day
Never skip meals thinking the calories you save will help you shed pounds. In truth, if you deprive your body of necessary calories and nutrients it will kick into survival mode, storing fat and conserving energy by slowing the metabolism down. That's why crash diets that restrict food don't work in the long run. Stick to regular meal times and eat meals and snacks that combine lean protein and fiber found in many fruits and vegetables.

Sip green tea
Green tea contains catechins, a substance known to boost metabolism. In a recent study people who consumed two to four cups of green tea on days when they were physically active burned even more calories. Also, research suggests that catechins in green tea promote the breakdown of fat.
Stay hydrated
Dehydration can mimic hunger, leading us to grab some food when all we really need is some zero-calorie water. Drinking water before and during a meal fills the stomach and promotes fullness, leaving us satisfied eating less. Also, studies have shown that drinking cold water may boost metabolism.

Womens World Team
Sarah Kelly Arnold
Sarah Kelly Arnold was raised on a farm in British Columbia, where, as a 13-year-old, she learned to fly in a single seat Quicksilver ultralight. She was instantly hooked, and thus began a lifelong passion for aviation.
In 2004, Sarah became the owner-operator of Chilhowee Gliderport in Benton, TN where she eventually met and married her husband Jason. Together they've worked to improve the airport, train a new generation of pilots, and host soaring camps, seminars, and contests. Sarah organized the 1st FAI Pan American Gliding Championships in 2015, and serves as treasurer on the US Team Committee. She will be a 2017 inductee into the Tennessee Aviation Hall of Fame.
Sarah's first competition was the 2006 Perry Regionals with Charlie Spratt as CD. Five years later she won the Sports Class Nationals and earned a position on the US Soaring team in Club Class. She was the first woman to represent the United States at a WGC event in Argentina 2013. Later that year she flew the Women's World Gliding Championships in France and took home a bronze medal.
Team Captain and Crew
John Good will be in Zbraslavice as Sarah's captain and crew. John has tirelessly served as a member of the US Team at many World Gliding Championship events as crew, captain and as the US team reporter. He was the Deputy Championship director/Task-setter at the 2012 WGC in Uvalde, Tx. and brings a wealth of international rules knowledge to our teams. John has served as a member of the rules committee and presently is a member of the US Team and contest committees. John is an active competition pilot and flies a Discus 2 and Duo Discus.
Feminine Class Background
As part of the International Gliding Commission's (IGC) strategy to build participation in the sport new classes have been recently sanctioned to participate in World Soaring Championships. The feminine class was created in 2001. The first World Women's Gliding Championship took place in the same year.
The 2001 1st Feminine World Soaring Championships was held in Pociunai, Lithuania. Twelve countries were represented fielding 41 participating pilots. There were three classes in this event, 15-Meter, Standard, and Club. Gillian Spreckley (GBR) won the World Champion title in the 15m Class, while Sarah Steinbeck (GBR) finished first in the Standard class and Tamara Sviridova (RUS) in the Club class.
In the USA the Woman's Soaring Pilots Association (WSPA) was founded in 1986. The charter meeting was the result of a year's effort and input by the pilots who attended the 1985 Women's Soaring Seminar at Airsailing near Reno, NV. Current membership exceeds 170 pilots including several International pilots.

SANTA ANA – Oscar Benavides Jr.'s eyes light up when he talks of playing basketball.
But for the 15-year-old Valley High School student, shooting hoops from a wheelchair isn't easy.
That's why the city of Santa Ana and the local chapter of the Kiwanis Club, a nonprofit community service organization, are working to build a wheelchair-accessible basketball court in the "barrier-free" playground at Carl Thornton Park.
"The big baskets are tough because his coordination isn't too good," Oscar's father said. "But he loves to play everything – anything at all."
Santa Ana is applying for a $100,000 state grant to build the court. Kiwanis Club aims to raise another $100,000 by collecting donations to support local business owner Gary Drake on a 114-mile bicycle ride up to Big Bear called the "Breathless Agony" – all of which will be dedicated to the project.
The 5-acre "barrier-free" playground was built in 1995 for disabled children and includes a jungle gym that is wheelchair-accessible and a series of blue hoops where children can ride and get sprayed with water during summer.
Unlike basketball courts elsewhere in Santa Ana, the new court will be accessible to wheelchairs from the parking lot and its hoops will be height-adjustable, said Ron Ono, administrative services manager for the city's Parks and Recreation Department.
While competitive wheelchair basketball leagues and Special Olympics use standard 10-foot-high hoops, the city hopes this court will offer developmentally disabled kids and younger children a unique recreational opportunity.
Sadie Morales, an assistant physical education teacher at Valley High School, said adjustable hoops would help special-education students such as Oscar, who love basketball but struggle to reach the net.
Ono envisions events where kids in wheelchairs invite non-wheelchair kids to play basketball on their terms.
Future improvements
In the longer term, the city would like to build a second multipurpose play court and an amphitheater so that the court could be turned into a space for theatrical productions and games, Ono said.
Paula Sandoval, special-education teacher at Valley High School, said her students have long outgrown the playground ramps and swings at the barrier-free park, which are designed for youngsters.
"When they're cute and little, everyone makes a big deal, but when they're high school kids, you need some of these activities that are high school-ish," Sandoval said.
Drake, a 56-year-old Tustin resident, said he wanted to give back to his community when he signed up for the 12,000-foot bicycle climb scheduled for May 6.
"They can live in Huntington Beach, anywhere in Orange County, and all they have to do is drive down there and use the facilities," said John Karpierz, membership chairman for Kiwanis Club Santa Ana. "There's a tremendous need."

The five generations of Nissan Sentras stretching back to 1982 have all featured front-wheel drive, four-cylinder engines and utterly boxy and boring styling. The all-new, sixth-generation 2007 Sentra is still a front-drive four-banger but the sheet metal is, for the first time, actually interesting.Taking cues from the larger Nissan Altima and the brand's flagship four-door, the Nissan Maxima, this is easily the most handsome and immediately appealing Sentra ever built. It's also the largest and the most powerful.Imagine that, an interesting-looking Sentra. Who even knew it was possible?Godzilla-sizedThe new Sentra is built atop Nissan and Renault's shared "C" platform which also underpins the Renault Mégane. It's a steel unibody with the engine and transaxle mounted transversely in the nose, MacPherson struts holding up the front and a cheap torsion beam keeping the tail from dragging. The rack-and-pinion steering is electrically power-assisted, the brakes are discs in the front and drums in the rear and an antilock system is optional on the base Sentra and standard equipment on the midmarket Sentra S and more lavish Sentra SL.There are some variations along the margins, but all of the Sentra's competitors — Chevy Cobalt, Honda Civic, Kia Optima, Mazda 3 and Toyota Corolla sedan — use similarly mundane hardware. No, the real story here is the Sentra's new larger size. At 105.7 inches the Sentra's wheelbase is just shy of the Civic sedan's 106.3 inches, but significantly longer than either the Cobalt's or the Corolla's. In fact the new Sentra's wheelbase is 2.6 inches longer than Nissan's first (1993) Altima and 5.9 inches longer than the wheelbase of the outgoing 2006 Sentra.It's official, the small Nissan is now the Versa, not the Sentra. It's the same story under the hood, too. Along with the new Sentra's additional sheet metal comes a new 2.0-liter four, the 140-horsepower, all-aluminum, DOHC, 16-valve "MR20DE." It lacks variable valve timing, but the MR20DE's long-stroke design results in excellent torque production: a peak 147-pound feet at 4,800 rpm. In contrast the torquiest Civic, the sporting Si, peaks at just 139 lb-ft and has to spin at 6,100 rpm to manage that.That twist is channeled through either a six-speed manual transmission or an automatic continuously variable transmission (CVT) in the base Sentra and Sentra S. Every Sentra SL, like the test vehicle, comes with the CVT automatic.Parlez-vous Français?With Nissan and Renault now thoroughly commingled, there's a lot of French influence in the Sentra SL's interior. The dash design is clean and efficient, with a large tach and speedometer sitting in a single pod on either side of a smaller amber-glowing digital gauge for the fuel level and engine temperature. The center of the dash is capped by an information display with the optional Rockford Fosgate sound system with an in-dash six-disc CD changer just beneath it, and straightforward three-dial ventilation controls under that.Nissan proudly points to such high-tech interior features as the available Bluetooth phone compatibility built into the sound system and the "Intelligent Key" system that allows the car to be started when the fob is in the driver's pocket. There's also an auxiliary input jack for the stereo; too bad it's smack in the middle of the dash so a long cord is needed to snake past the shifter and reach the MP3 player you've stuck into one of the floor-mounted cupholders. In a Civic the auxiliary jack is down in the console where the music player is bound to be stored. Plus there's only one 12-volt dash on the Sentra SL and it's buried where it can't be seen.For die-hard CD lovers there's also a built-in case for eight discs behind the driver's sun visor. But hasn't everyone who wants to carry eight CDs worth of music around bought an iPod by now?Whatever, the real stride forward here is in how intuitively the controls work and the relatively high quality of most of the materials used. Sure, the dash top is still cheesy hard plastic, but the headliner is a neat mesh material; the SL's leather seats are neatly perforated; there are plenty of nooks, cubbies and cupholders strewn about; and all the switches work with precision. The precision is Japanese, but the style and attention to tactile satisfaction is French. The car itself is actually assembled in Mexico.And it's a relatively roomy interior, too, with rear legroom equal to the Civic sedan's despite the Honda's longer wheelbase.The Sentra is goTip into the throttle and there's a sensation of urgency from the 2.0-liter engine. The 9.0-second 0-60-mph time is a solid performance, particularly for an engine churning a CVT. It's also quicker than the five-speed automatic-equipped 2006 Honda Civic EX sedan tested earlier this year, and the Sentra SL's EPA-rated fuel economy of 29 in the city and 36 on the highway is simply outstanding. In fact, it's a higher fuel economy rating than the Sentra S with a six-speed manual transmission.But the driver has to be willing to live with the CVT. While efficient, the CVT doesn't operate like a conventional automatic. There's a distinct, relentless CVT drone that occurs as the engine builds revs slowly and then settles in near its power peak as the car gathers speed. Fortunately the Sentra's new four is quiet and mannered, and this CVT seems better tuned than others; still, the sensation can be unsettling. Then there's the fact that the CVT is completely resistant to enthusiastic driving. There's simply no way to choose a "gear" and then hold that through a corner. Or downshift. Or upshift. Or anything.Once at speed, however, the Sentra SL is quiet, with minimal wind noise and some barely perceptible whirr from the P205/55HR16 all-season tires. For commuters with long stretches of unimpeded freeway to cover every morning, the Sentra may be about perfect. If there's more stop and go action involved, a competitor with a more conventional transmission will be more pleasant.Harsh realityClimb over a speed bump with the new Sentra and there's more impact harshness than there is in the Civic or Corolla. In particular, the front gets jolted while the rear seems to take its time settling back down. The natural front-drive understeer is relatively mild and there's negligible body roll during hard cornering, so it's no surprise that the car is quick through the slalom at 64.3 mph. But a go-kart is quick through the slalom, too, and it doesn't have much suspension travel either.On the skid pad the Sentra SL orbited to the tune of 0.75g, which is exactly the performance of the modestly shod, natural-gas-fueled Honda Civic GX we recently tested. But while the Honda reached its limits when the tires gave up adhesion, the Sentra first finds its suspension bump stops and only then do the tires give up. This is a suspension that's in need of retuning for both better comfort and confidence when its limits are approached.Steering is quick and heavy if uncommunicative, and the brakes required a fairly long 135 feet to stop the car from 60 mph. There was also more brake dive than we would like.No dispute, it must commuteIn this subcompact/compact class of cars, being an excellent commuter is as important as quick lap times are for an exotic sports car. The Sentra is a winner on those terms with its roomy interior, neat detailing and smooth — and relatively economical — power plant. Plus, the Rockford Fosgate sound system sounds spectacular even if it doesn't integrate with MP3 players as well as some competitors.But the impact harshness and short travel of the Sentra's suspension keep it from being the best in its class. And many buyers will find the CVT's behavior simply frustrating. With some well-considered tuning tweaks and a few additional features, the 2007 Nissan Sentra could add up to some real competition for the Civic and Mazda 3. Hopefully the 200-hp Sentra SE-R will be just that.
Overall Grade: C+
How does it sound: C+In general, the system sounds fair. However, there is a dull or fuzzy feel to tone and it lacks crispness and detail. There is noticeable bass but it isn't as sharp or as deep as we'd expect from a Rockford system. Pop music sounds best, as the inherent brightness of most pop tracks seems to give the sound new life. On the other hand, stick in some aggressive rock or metal and lack of separation and a muddled sound are obvious even to non-audiophiles. Still, the system produces a recognizable immediacy that many buyers in Sentra's segment will like. The in-your-face feel could be the stereo's best or worst quality depending on who's listening.How does it work: BThe head unit is simple and straightforward. All functions are easy to master quickly and the stereo even has a midrange adjustment — a feature even the pricier Bose system in the new Altima does not have. The display is large enough and relevant information is communicated via thick, bold symbols that make it easy to read while driving. Special features: Both the Nissan Versa and Nissan Sentra offer Bluetooth as either a standard feature or option. That's impressive given the Sentra's price point. Another indication that Nissan is paying attention to the details is the fact that the steering-wheel-mounted controls for the audio system have been significantly reworked for the next generation of Nissans. They're now more logically placed and are easier to access without having to look down, as controls for volume and track change are shaped differently and placed farther apart. Conclusion: We've been fairly impressed with factory-installed Rockford stereos in other Nissan products but this one seems slightly lacking. It gets loud enough; we're just not sure that's enough to justify the extra $1,500 you have to drop to get this optional system. Otherwise, functionality and ease of use are excellent. — Brian Moody
Senior Road Test Editor Josh Jacquot says:What's in a name? A lot if you're Nissan. The lowly Sentra has a storied history and this latest version has big shoes to fill. Sort of. Remember the first-generation Sentra SE-R? Its 7,500-rpm 2.0-liter mill had an impressive combination of power and poise for a sporty econobox. It had simple, functional proportions that still look good today and strut suspension at all four corners that was both inexpensive to produce and yielded excellent handling. It was the econobox done right. And both the media and consumers knew it from the beginning. B13 Sentras, as they're known to those who care, still have a cult following today. Second-generation cars retained a similar powertrain but ousted the basic-but-utilitarian strut rear suspension for an axle with a Scott-Russell link. "Less costly," said Nissan shortly before being saved from certain death by a weird little French company. Third-generation cars became bigger and weirder and kept the same silly rear suspension. Hot-rod models got a 2.5-liter tractor engine that refused to rev coupled to a six-speed tranny that, while costly, offered few real benefits given the engine's power delivery.The verdict is still out on this latest Sentra. If you're a fan of the bizarre and eternally revvy driving experience that comes with almost all continuously variable transmissions then you'll love the new Sentra. It feels to me like every time I put my foot down I'm releasing a bungee cord wrapped around a spool. It lets the cacophonous 2.0-liter four howl until you give the go pedal a break. It's also got struts in front, a torsion beam (even cheaper than a Scott-Russell link?) in back and a bizarre shape that's about as timeless as purple rhinestone sneakers.But as small cars go, it's reasonably useful. First, it's hardly small — 9.5 inches longer than a B13. Rear-seat space is impressive, but it comes at the expense of a deep trunk. Door openings should allow a human of any size to enter comfortably. The SE-R model comes with the CVT. Enthusiasts must step up to the SE-R Spec V to get real manual shifting. And both models come with the same 2.5-liter mill loathed in the last SE-R. Time will tell.

In the wake of companies across the U.S. facing difficulties in attracting and hiring speech pathologists, Smarty Ears, an innovative company in the field of speech pathology, has launched an app for the iPad that is currently used by thousands of qualified and tech savvy speech pathologists. SLP Spots is a free iPad app that allows companies to post job openings for a fraction of what they currently spend on traditional media advertising. It gives speech and language pathologists the opportunity to browse the job openings and post their resumes.
Companies that hire speech pathologists spend numerous hours making direct phone calls and browsing through online resumes, hoping to find a therapist to fill the thousands of open positions across the country. The current shortage in the field of speech pathology has forced companies, school districts, and hospitals to spend a great amount of time, making enormous efforts to find a therapist that is available for the position. At the same time, employment in this field is expected to grow 19 percent, thus companies need a clever and innovative way to reach them. In the past, companies heavily relied on websites such as Monster.com and Careerbuilder.com to post their job openings. However, their ads have become lost in a sea of countless irrelevant or unrelated job openings from companies across the globe.
The iPad and Google Maps are remarkable technologies that have been made available to us. SLP Spots has decided to take advantage of this opportunity to make job matching for speech pathologists easier and hassle free. The map feature allows speech pathologists to view the location of the available positions on the Google Map directly on their iPad; this map even allows speech therapists to actually see how far each opening is from their own home. SLP Spots will have each available opportunity mapped out so SLPs can see which cities are displaying the jobs they are specifically looking for.
Barbara Fernandes, the CEO of Smarty Ears, informs us that with SLP Spots, "speech pathologists can utilize a search filtering feature that was built specifically for speech pathologists and include filters such as setting, population served, and certification level. This is an extremely useful feature not only for SLPs but also for companies."
SLP Spots is currently available in the app store. It has been already downloaded by nearly two thousand speech pathologists, and the number is rapidly growing daily. While SLPs download the app for free to use, post resumes, and browse through job posts, companies pay an affordable price through an in-app purchase to place their ad on SLP Spots. The ad will become visible, immediately after purchase on the app store, to the over 20 million people who use an iPad and purchase apps through the iTunes store. There is no doubt that SLP Spots give companies the resources they need to conveniently and quickly find the right candidate for their position.
Companies can start posting their openings immediately by downloading SLP Spots and making an in-app purchase. Prices start at $29.99 for a 30-day ad placement. For more information about SLP Spots, visit http://www.slpspots.com or send an email to Smarty Ears at [email protected].

A survey commissioned by Deutsche Welle has found the majority of German citizens would vote for limiting immigration. The survey follows a decision in Switzerland to limit its annual immigration from the EU.
If Germans were to vote in a referendum on limiting immigration to Germany nearly half would support the measure (48 percent ) while almost as many (46 percent) would oppose it, according to a DW commissioned survey.
On behalf of DW, opinion research institute infratest dimap surveyed 1,001 Germans over the age of 18 on February 11-12, 2014. Three percent of those surveyed were undecided.
The survey showed that a particularly high number of Eurosceptic Alternative for Germany (AfD) party members (84 percent) would support an immigration limit.
Members of Chancellor Angela Merkel's Christian Democrats and its sister party the Christian Social Union voted 51 percent for a limit.
Especially low approval for such a move came from members of the left-wing Alliance 90/The Greens party with only 29 percent supporting a limit.
A difference of opinions could also be seen between the eastern and western sides of Germany with 45 percent of citizens in the west showing support compared to 56 percent of citizens in the east.
Germany to follow Switzerland?
The survey comes on the heels of a controversial Swiss referendum vote on Sunday that saw the country approve limiting its annual immigration from the European Union.
The conservative-nationalist Swiss People's Party (SVP), Switzerland's most powerful single party, put forward the motion, but was the only member of the country's four-party ruling coalition to endorse its bill.
The proposal did not specify the potential level for a cap, nor who it might apply to. By Swiss law, parliamentarians have three years to introduce the changes.
Landlocked Switzerland is not a member of the EU, however, it is part of both the European Free Trade Area (EFTA) and the open-border Schengen Area.
Business leaders in Switzerland had openly opposed initiative, saying the buoyant economy could support a larger workforce.
Sunday's "yes" vote also garnered criticism from EU members. On Monday, Chancellor Angela Merkel's spokesman, Steffen Seibert, said that Germany respected the result of Switzerland's vote but added, it "raises considerable problems."
The European Commission said in a statement released after the referendum that it regretted the decision, and would "analyze the consequences of this initiative to our relations in general."
Around 8 million people live in Switzerland with 25 percent of inhabitants hailing from other countries. The country's German community, numbering around 300,000, is the third-largest after the Swiss themselves and Italians. Similarly, 430,000 Swiss live and work elsewhere in the EU.

How should Europe deal with a country at its core which wants to considerably restrict the EU's freedom of movement? European leaders are pledging to review the EU's relationship with its Alpine neighbor in its entirety. (10.02.2014)

Enterprise Zone
Allegany County is an active participant in the state of Maryland's Enterprise Zone program. Within Allegany County, companies hoping to tap the tax credits available through the program have no problem finding a location well suited to their business needs. Allegany County has three zones,the Gateway Zone, which was designated June 15, 2012, and expires on June 14, 2022, includes most of the City of Cumberland, as well as the North Branch Industrial Park, riverside Industrial Park, Commerce Center and the Upper Potomac Industrial Park. The Frostburg Zone includes the Frostburg Business Park, most of Main Street and the Allegany Business Center at Frostburg State University. The third zone is the Route 220 South Zone which encompasses the Barton Business Park. The designation date for the Route 220 Zone is December 23, 2009. The expiration date is December 22, 2019.
Whether your company wishes to locate in one of the county's business parks or within the county's primary business district, it is relatively easy to qualify. Tax credits are provided for job creation and may include real property improvements.
Under the program, income tax credits are provided for a period of one to three years for wages paid to new employees. In general, a $1,000, one time credit is given for each new worker. However, for economically disadvantaged employees, the credit increases to a total of $6,000 per employee provided over a three year period.
The real property tax credits provide a 10 year credit against local real property taxes on a portion of real property improvements. The credit is provided at 80% for the first five years, with annual decreases of 10% to a low of 30% in the tenth and final year of the credit program.
While the Enterprise Zone program can be very beneficial in certain situations, local standards and your specific business may limit your use of the program. A discussion about what the program means to your business can be held with Matthew W. Diaz, Allegany County Department of Economic & Community Development at 301 777-5967.

I'm Gerry aged fourteen and an avid masturbator. I started when I was eleven and haven't stopped wanking; as many as ten cums in 24 hours. There hasn't been a day when I haven't had at least one orgasm and my usual routine is to have a wank in the morning before getting ready for school. I have a variety of adult magazines which I have collected, begged, borrowed or stolen. I have a quick cum whilst wanking over one of the Readers Wives, this morning it was a woman from Kent in England, a tallish 34-year-old brunette with a shaven cunt and pert 34b tits.
I often have a wank in school toilets at lunchtime when I'll think about some of the girls in my class (Christine and Karen are hot) or my languages teacher Miss Brown, who wears short skirts and low cut tops. I'm not gay at all but it is a turn on to hear other boys in the loos next to mine wanking away, and I do try to make more noise when I'm having a school wank.
When I get home I have the house to myself for an hour or so before my mum and my sister get home. I'll have a scout around their bedrooms and see if either of them have bought any new lingerie or a vibrator. My sister (Heather, she's 19 and very very fit - blonde and 36c tits) has a couple of dildos. She's never without a boyfriend or picks up guys at the local night-club. Most weekend nights I can hear her bed creaking and she doesn't hold back. I'll have a wank whilst listening to her and I like to try and cum at the same time as she does.

3 Things We Learned About the Consumer Reports Test Lab
When shopping for anything new, we always consult Consumer Reports as part of the process.
That's why we found this look inside their testing process on Vox especially interesting. Here are a few things we learned.
- To test pots and pans, they have a machine that scrubs them for hours on end until their nonstick coating wears off.
- To test packaged foods, they employ "sensory panelists" and then have them sit in rooms with special ventilation systems to prevent outside smells from impacting their reviews.
- They use secret shoppers all over the country to anonymously buy items and test things that are available only in specific markets.
Check out the rest of the article as part of your weekend reading to see their full process.

Since some of the power tools that we know and love were invented during certain working enviroments, such as building cars or cutting sugar cane, I'd like to know whether or not these tools still are used for these early working purposes?
The original Skilsaw worm-drive saw was invented by Edmond Michel in 1921 while he had witnessed a bunch of people cutting sugar cane using their machetes that they held in their own hands. Originally, he had the idea of mounting a hacksaw (machete) blade onto a malted-milk mixer motor, but then decided on a round blade after learning of Tabitha Babbitt's similar invention for table saws (to replace the hacksaw method of cutting big and long pieces of wood). Three years later, his invention evolved into the worm-drive design with its clockwise spinning blade… the model "E" which remained in production through 1939. So, I ask: was the model 77 Skilsaw ever used in cutting sugar cane trees?
Another invention was the Milwaukee "Hole-Shooter" end-handle drill. Invented in 1918 by A. H. Petersen while as an employee at Ford Motor Company, this drill was the first of its kind to be portable enough to be guided by one hand (Black & Decker's pistol-grip drill, invented just two years earlier, still had to require the use of both hands), and it was in use to drill holes for car building. I ask this: Were any of the modern end-handle Hole-Shooters (red plastic housings, with some bearing the "Magnum" name) from the 1960s and thereafter in use at Ford (and other car manufacturers') plants in those years?
