I think what they really meant was chocolate-covered cherry day. Generally that means a chocolate-covered maraschino cherry, sometimes infused with a liqueur of some sort or another. The problem is; I detest maraschino cherries. Like, ewww. There's nothing natural about that brilliant pink (or worse, green) colour. Uck. I don't understand maraschinos. I don't get the allure. I think they're gross. Even the method of creating them is gross. According to Wiki,
A maraschino cherry … is a preserved, sweetened cherry, typically made from light-coloured sweet cherries such as the Royal Ann, Rainier, or Gold varieties. The cherries are first preserved in a brine solution usually containing sulphur dioxide or alcohol, then soaked in a suspension of food coloring (common red food dye, FD&C Red 40), sugar syrup, and other components. Maraschino cherries dyed red are typically almond-flavoured, while cherries dyed green are sometimes peppermint-flavoured [I went ahead and Canadianized the American spelling]
First question: why would you do that to a beautiful Rainier cherry?
Della went so far as to make me my very own fruitcake for Christmas, believing (correctly) that my whole issue with fruitcake was the gross, wrongly-coloured (and flavoured) cherries.
So, how about a chocolate-cherry martini?
We've tried our hardest to share recipes whenever we can. I thought, "hmmmm… maybe we could try making a chocolate liqueur, so I could brag about, and share the recipe here." Of course, I thought of it today, and the best-looking recipe I found is a two-week recipe. Not so much.
Enter Godiva Chocolate liqueur.
But this is "Chocolate-filled cherry day" – whatever that means. For me, that at least means that if I'm having a chocolate martini, it has to include a cherry. Enter cherry liqueur. There's an awesome-looking recipe for Sour Cherry Liqueur here! Again, no time to figure it out.
I considered kirsch, which I tend to have on hand to throw into champagne, as required. "Too sweet," I though. So, what about cherry brandy?
What a good idea.
In the end, I still needed a bit of voddy to water it down.
So, recipe:
- 1 ½ oz Godiva Milk Chocolate Liqueur (so delicious. Like chocolate milk, only way worse for you)
- 1 ½ oz cherry brandy
- 1 oz vodka
Shake, pour into martini glass, garnish with a fresh (NOT maraschino) cherry.
Frankly delicious, in a creamy, bad-for-you kind of way. It looked somewhat like this:
Did I mention my camera has officially died? My lens cap (automatic) no longer opens automatically. I tried taking a picture of the martini with my cell phone, but I'm apparently too silly, because it wouldn't focus.
Happy New Year!
*rubs sleep from eyes* *Yawn* *stretch*
New Years Day. It should really be known as That Foggy Time After New Years Eve.
Luckily we have a little liquid gold to help us along: the cocktail classic, a Bloody Mary. I don't know too many folks who make this their evening drink of choice, but for the morning hair of the dog it certainly does the trick.
RANDOM ASIDE NUMBER ONE: What the heck does "hair of the dog" mean anyways? Over to you Wikipedia:
It is a shortened form of the expression "the hair of the dog that bit you." The origin of the phrase is literal, and comes from an erroneous method of treatment of a rabid dog bite by placing hair from the dog in the bite wound. The use of the phrase as a metaphor for a hangover treatment dates back to the time of William Shakespeare. Ebenezer Cobham Brewer writes in the Dictionary of Phrase and Fable (1898): "In Scotland it is a popular belief that a few hairs of the dog that bit you applied to the wound will prevent evil consequences. Applied to drinks, it means, if overnight you have indulged too freely, take a glass of the same wine next morning to soothe the nerves. 'If this dog do you bite, soon as out of your bed, take a hair of the tail in the morning.'"
So say, hypothetically, you had a few cocktails last night. The bloody Mary can fortify you before you have to go to that hypothetically dreaded brunch with the in-laws. I will suggest this classic recipe:
Bloody Mary (courtesy of the New York School of Bartending):
1 oz. to 1 1/2 oz. (30-45 ml) vodka in a Highball glass filled with ice. Fill glass with tomato juice
1 dash celery salt
1 dash ground black pepper
1 dash Tabasco
2-4 dashes of Lea & Perrin's Worcestershire sauce
1/8 tsp. horseradish (pure, never creamed)
Dash of lemon or lime juice
Garnish with celery stalk.
May be shaken vigorously or stirred lazily, as desired. Garnish with a celery stalk; a skewer of olives, pickles, carrots, mushrooms, or other vegetables; or even meat or fish (salami, shrimp, etc.) and cheese. Occasionally, pickled asparagus spears or pickled beans are also used.
Personally, I would say that pickled beans are MANDATORY. I mean, a girl has to get her veggies somewhere, right? My version benefited from the bottle of Stoli kept in my freezer: 🙂
The best Bloody Mary I ever had was at a diner called Enid's in a polish neighborhood in Brooklyn, where I dined on biscuits and gravy and grits for the first time, and where the highlight of the decor was a large sparkly golden camel. Good times!
Happy New Year to you all!
Well, I'm back from Mexico, unhappily. I would much preferred to be waking up this morning to a leisurely breakfast followed by a margherita on the beach than to darkness, rain, and … work. Alas.
As promised, I have posted my recipe for whole-wheat multigrain bread just below this post. Also, I seemed to have missed my post for Carbonated Beverage with Caffeine Day (November 19). Stay tuned… I'm going to "bonus blog" it when the moment is right.
After RC wrote up his impressive treatise to cappuccino, I was a bit intimidated by espresso day. I have not sampled the perfect espresso in coffee shops around the world. I'm not even much of an espresso drinker, but I do have one of those lovely Italian "twist together" espresso makers.
It was given to me by Clermont Boulanger, the father of a family I lived with in Jonquière, Quebec when I was 16 years old. Every morning, Clermont would make café au lait for my friend Julie and me, to drink on our way to school. It was the height of luxury. Clermont gave me the espresso maker as a parting gift and I think about the Boulangers and my amazing, eye-opening time in Quebec every time I use it.
In honour of Espresso Day, I busted out my old faithful in the service of… (if you knew me at all, you'd already have guessed it) … an espresso martini.
In Mexico, I often drank one or two of these before dinner. After drinking margheritas in the sun all day, I was generally a little groggy. An espresso martini was the perfect solution: no falling asleep in my guacamole!
To make an espresso martini, you need:
- 1 ½ oz freshly brewed espresso
- 1 oz perfectly cold vodka (I know there are better kinds, but for mixed drinks, I go with plain ol' Alberta vodka)
- 1 oz Kahlúa
Pour espresso over ice in a martini shaker. Add vodka and Kahlúa. Shake like hell. Garnish with a few coffee beans as desired.
Cheat: you could always buy a bottle of Van Gogh Double Espresso Vodka and just shake it over ice. It's delicious. But I prefer my version.

Justice for Iqbal Hussain
0 have signed. Let's get to 200!
Cooco's Den and Cafe has been temporary closed since the spring 2018. After Closure Notice, it is illegally running by my Nephews (#Abrar Hussain, #Israr Hussain, #Nazar Abbas) And they are not taking any health action towards our customers and we are loosing our clients and reputation.
I am the rightful and legal owner of Cooco's Den and cafe, and i own its name. I am not giving its name to anyone in karachi.
My NEPHEWS locked Me with my two daughters, and my granddaughters inside our house. I couldn't go out and nobody could come in, Except my Nephews. They were downstairs. They locked us in amd tried to possessed the restaurant, Illegally.
They threatened my family. My nephews (Abrar Hussain, Israr Hussain, Nazar Abbas and their Servant Shahid Fazul Hussain) Threatened my wife, if you ever put that Closure Notice back on the Cooco's wall, Then you will face its consequences.
FIR reported against on of those criminals who locked me inside, but My restaurant is still Illegally running by them and they are trying to possess my restaurant and my house. Now They are mischievously blocking our gas and water pipe line, so we cannot eat or drink. This is inhuman.
None action is taken from anybody.

Neck Ringer - Testing
It's working perfectly as an octave-up / frequency doubler, as shown in the oscilloscope output below:
The longer wave is the input fed from the frequency generator and the shorter wave is the output of the Neck Ringer. You can see the output will go through 2 cycles for every 1 at the input, doubling the frequency. The input wave was set to ~330hz (E4, open E) and it output a wave of ~660hz (E5, 12th fret). I noticed it also changes the shape of the wave, I don't think it's a true ring mod but you can see the wave "pinched" halfway through each cycle.
I just need to cut the board to size and get some plastic standoffs and we'll call this one done.

We are so proud to share with you these stats of the qualification days from one only of our mirrors.
We would like to say thank you to all of you and of course, invite everyone to follow todays streaming live on our Live Stream page.
We are so proud to share with you these stats of the qualification days from one only of our mirrors.
We would like to say thank you to all of you and of course, invite everyone to follow todays streaming live on our Live Stream page.
There are big news that concern all the people at home regarding the live streaming.
In the last few months both Youtube and Facebook made their copyrights policy stricter.
Using those platforms will most likely get the livestream banned almost everywhere in the world, with a chance of having our own channel and pages permanently closed.
We have hence chosen to try to do everything on our own. That, of course, requires a lot of knowledge, hardware, software and so much more.
What are we missing? Mainly compatibility.
You can access Youtube and Facebook almost everywhere. From your smartphone, tablet, tv set, personal computer, and so on and so forth.
We are trying to do our best to offer the same services you are used to, but it's easier said than done.
We are still working out the technicalities, but we will for sure need your patience and collaboration.
We are trying our best to solve arising issues seamlessly on your end. Still, we may need to ask you to download additional, but totally safe, software to have access to the live streaming on your device of choice.
We are not fond of so called "free" streaming services. We would like to provide uninterrupted and ads-free content for the whole duration of the competition, without limits to the number of people simultaneously connected.
Even more so, we are not willing to force families at home to pay to see their beloved gymnasts.
We wanted to be transparent with you all, motivating our choices and reasoning.
We strive to provide the best service we can, but we have to ask for your understanding and patience.
You can reach the live streaming page HERE or clicking in the top bar menu.
We hope you're going to enjoy your time with us
We are so proud to announce that for the 2019 edition we will have Isabel Silva as official photgraphet of the competition.
You can book your service and found the offers that Isabel has reserved to you just clicking HERE
Dear Acro Friends,
finally we had competition numbers rightly assigned. Please let us know if any mistakes in athletes names.
With this now you can label musics and complete filling tariff sheets. (only a few of you have started)
Music and tariff sheet deadlines are now both set on Friday July 5th… please be on time.
You can find also the Competition Schedule
Then, if you're not booking through the OC and if you would need extra meals at official restaruant "il discorante", please fill in and send to us the Extra Meals Form before Fridat July 5th
The Welcome Party will be held on Friday July 12th at Cascina Grangetta, built into the Natural Park "La Mandria", just outside the city of Turin. You can book your ticket through the Extra Meals Form. Bus to Cascina Grangetta and back to the hotel is included for everyone, both for who is booking through the OC and both who not (if hotel is in the city of Turin).
The Welcome party consist on a regular dinner for delegates with table service at first floor and on a buffet dinner for gymnasts at ground floor with open air dance club outside.
For delegation whose booking throuhg the OC that don't want to participate to the Welcome party, dinner will be served as usual at Discorante
Last, how to use our website. All the further information will be published on Timeline page (you can find a link in any page on the top menu). Home page or email won't be used for every update.
So please check the Timeline page to check if any update.
Dear acro friends,
as a few of you wrote us we haven't published yet competition numbers that you need to label musics and complete the tariff sheet filling before sending.
First we had some delays in receiving some nominative entry and then, importing your entries in our scoring system we had some prolems in managing the encoding format used to write gymnasts names.
We are now hard working to give you all the information needed in a couple of days. We would like to apologize with all of you.
Further updates will published here
We are looking forward to meet you all in Turin.
Dear friends,
we have now opened the Nominative entry form page where you can add pairs and groups one by one in the last part.
If you have not filled in the definitive entry form and you would like to join us, please inform us by email before filling the form.
Here a countdown to the nominative deadline
Are you ready for Turin Acro Cup again? Provisional entry form will be available till April 19th.
Enjoy and share our last teaser edited by Matteo Veronesi
You can finally find our 2019 edition Official Invitation.
As in 2018 we are going to use Acro Companion again and, big change, we have moved the party date on Saturday evening… we will keep secret the location for a while more but trust us, it's going to be really a nice one.
As always we hope you're going to enjoy our promo video.
Forms will be available on this site from February 1st
As usual we have made a video to say THANK YOU to everyone of being part of our competition. Gymnasts, Coaches, Judges, Delegates, volunteers, special guests like Niels and David, sponsors, service providers… friends mainly, like Matteo, Fabrizia, Stefano, Simone and Andrea. and spectators both in the gymhall and at home (you where more than double than usual)… and of course, least but not last, the Italian Federation of Gymnastics (to trust in us) and the City of Torino (for all your effort).
See you in 2019. Keep following us to know the dates.

A historic deal was struck early Sunday between Iran and six world powers over Tehran's nuclear program that slows the country's nuclear development program in exchange for lifting some sanctions while a more formal agreement is worked out.Prevent Iran from creating a nuclear weapon? Maybe. But the key distinction is it doesn't hinder nuclear capability. As Daniel Silva said on Monday's Hugh Hewitt Show, Iran essentially got everything it wanted out of this deal: reduced sanctions and maintaining its nuclear capability.
The agreement -- described as an "initial, six-month" deal -- includes "substantial limitations that will help prevent Iran from creating a nuclear weapon," U.S. President Barack Obama said in a nationally televised address.
Leave it to Dennis Miller to brilliantly summarize this whole situation in a pithy tweet.
BiBi...just think of it as one less phone call you gotta make when it's go time.
— Dennis Miller Show (@DennisDMZ) November 25, 2013
"BiBi" is, of course, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. This deal would appear to be leaving Israel pretty much on its own if faced with an attack from Iran. Of course if you believe in biblical prophecy, specifically Zechariah 12:1-5, this is how it's supposed to play out. An excerpt: On that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations. All who try to move it will injure themselves.
Yes, anyone who attempts to take on Israel will do so at their own peril.
- One of the grand traditions of Thanksgiving day (other than the gluttony) is the NFL's Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys hosting games.
For a little more than a decade, many football fans have lamented the fact the Lions continue to host a game despite their ineptitude this Millennium (save for the 2011 season when they made the playoffs). In fact, the Lions have not even been favored in a Thanksgiving game since 2000, when they took on the New England Patriots. That contest seems like it took place eons ago given that was the Pats' first season under coach Bill Belichick and a rookie QB by the name of Tom Brady made his NFL debut once the game got out of reach.
All that said, it appears the underdog streak is over!
Given the Lions' opponent this Thanksgiving will be a Green Bay Packers club likely to start their fourth different quarterback in five weeks (and also possessing a porous defense), the early line has Detroit as a 5-1/2 to 6-1/2 point favorite.
The Lions are currently in the midst of a 9-game losing streak on Thanksgiving with their last victory occurring in 2003 against (who else?) the Packers.
- I had the opportunity to chat with Marty Seifert, Minnesota GOP gubernatorial candidate, on my radio show this past Sunday.
There has been much speculation over whether or not Seifert would take another run in the MN governor's race after he finished second to Tom Emmer in the 2010 GOP endorsement battle and chose not to force a primary. When it was apparent he would not get the nod from GOP delegates, Seifert endorsed Emmer at the state convention (Emmer never reach the 60% threshold but got into the upper 50s on the second or third ballot) and then promptly announced his retirement as a MN House member after serving 14 years.
About six months later, Emmer lost by a mere 0.5% to Mark Dayton in the general election. In light of that result there were many Emmer supporters who lamented Seifert's alleged lack of campaigning on Emmer's behalf. And then last month, Seifert finished third in a non-binding straw poll at the MN GOP State Central Committee meeting despite not officially declaring himself a candidate. As such, Seifert was accused by some as working behind the scenes to gin up support in an effort to give appearances of an unsolicited grassroots movement. Seifert had never responded to any of the aforementioned allegations......until this past Sunday. How did he answer those charges? Just click this link to find out.

Bobbie Smith, whose mellifluous vocals helped make the Spinners one of the leading soul acts of the 1970s, died on Saturday in Orlando, Fla. He was 76.
The cause was complications of pneumonia and influenza, his son Ron Smith, who plays guitar for the Spinners, said. The elder Mr. Smith had been receiving treatment for lung cancer.
Bobbie Smith was with the Spinners from their early days as a doo-wop group in Detroit to recent years on the oldies circuit. To the end, with their close harmonies, smooth choreography and matching outfits, they were the very model of an old-school rhythm-and-blues vocal ensemble.
Mr. Smith was the lead singer on the group's first hit, "That's What Girls Are Made For," which reached No. 27 on the Billboard singles chart in 1961, and on three records that reached the Top 10 in the 1970s: "I'll Be Around" (1972), "Could It Be I'm Falling in Love" (1973) and "They Just Can't Stop It," better known as "Games People Play" (1975). He also harmonized with Dionne Warwick on "Then Came You" (1974), a collaboration that was the Spinners' only No. 1 hit.
Mr. Smith often shared lead vocals with Philippe Wynne, who joined the group in 1972. Typically Mr. Smith would handle the beginning of a song and Mr. Wynne would take over with gospel-style fervor toward the end.
"Bobbie took the engine from zero to 70, then Philippe took it from 70 to 150," Thom Bell, who produced most of the Spinners' biggest hits, said in a telephone interview on Tuesday. But Mr. Smith, he added, "was the original sound throughout the entire career of the Spinners."
Robert Steel Smith was born on April 10, 1936, in Abbeyville, Ga., and later moved with his family to Detroit.
In the mid-1950s he and his friends Henry Fambrough, Pervis Jackson, Billy Henderson and C. P. Spencer began singing together as the Domingoes. By the time they signed with the local Tri-Phi label a few years later, they had become the Spinners, a name said to have been inspired by the hubcaps on Mr. Smith's car. (In Britain, where there already was a popular folk group by that name, they were the Detroit Spinners.)
The Spinners spent much of the 1960s under contract to Motown. But established groups like the Temptations and the Four Tops got more attention from the company, and the Spinners had only one Top 20 hit during their tenure: "It's a Shame" (1970), produced and co-written by Stevie Wonder, on which G. C. Cameron sang lead.
They became consistent hitmakers only after they left Motown for Atlantic, where Mr. Bell became their producer and Mr. Wynne replaced Mr. Cameron as the second lead vocalist.
The Spinners, in various permutations, stayed together after the hits stopped coming in the 1980s, and despite his health problems Mr. Smith remained with them until the end; he last performed with them a month ago, Ron Smith said. Mr. Fambrough, who is still with the group, is now the only surviving member of the original lineup.
In addition to his son Ron, Mr. Smith is survived by his wife, Lorraine; his sons Lamar and Richie White; his daughter, Vanessa Smith; four grandchildren; and one great-grandson.

I continued driving North on Hwy 71. I stopped at the Visitors Center in downtown Fayetteville and walked around the area. This is a college town and there were a lot of restaurants and some shops, the items in the shops were very expensive.
I then stopped at Petco on the northern end of Fayetteville. I love it when I can go to a companies website and find out where the nearest store is located. I needed some cat food, and knew that Petco carried the brand "BLUE" that I wanted.
Continuing on Hwy 71 it becomes a scenic byway. It's a very hilly and curvy road but the speed limits are lower so it is a pleasure to drive without anyone speeding around. On some of the curves and when going downhill the speed limit is 25mph or less.
This area reminded me of the Smoky Mountains with a blue gray misty look to the mountains.
There is a turnout at "Artists Point" and an Art Center/gift shop. I didn't stop to take pictures because it was not well marked and I did not see a place that I could safely pull over. There was a gravel parking space in front of the building, but it didn't seem very large. Once you drive past the building, there really isn't any place to turn around on this narrow curvy road. The way it was mentioned in all of the travel books, I was expecting a larger pullout area.
I turned off Hwy 71 onto Hwy 62 East and stopped at the Pea Ridge National Military Park. There is a museum, theater, bookstore and a 10 mile driving tour around the grounds.
As I was going around the driving route, I thought - this would be a great place to camp (but wondered - would it be haunted). When you reach the top of the hill there is a nice breeze that would be perfect for sleeping with all the windows to the coach open.
My next stop before getting to Eureka Springs was the Blue Spring Heritage Center. This is a private business, they charge a $5.00 fee(less discount coupons) to walk around the gardens and spring.
Brochure description "Visit this oasis in the Ozarks that nurtured the Cherokee people on the Trail of Tears. Walk under the historic bluff shelter. Allow yourself to connect with the natural beauty that surrounds Blue Spring."
It was a beautiful area and its a shame of the damage caused by a flood of the White River, some of the walking paths were closed because of damage to the small bridges that would take you to those paths. The owners said many of their plantings were also washed away. I noticed a greenhouse on the property, near the parking area. They grow many of their own flowers and plants to display around the spring so hopefully they will be able to replant some things this summer.
Next stop - Eureka Springs

- 2 How to make plastic braces
- 3 Making the plastic-bucket brace consists of 3 main steps:
- 4 Method 2: Polypropylene braces
Below the knee
For most children who need a below-knee brace, plastic braces molded to fit the leg and foot of the individual child have many advantages:
- They are lightweight and often more comfortable than
- They fit the child comfortably and exactly (if made well).
- They can be worn with ordinary shoes or sandals, which can be easily changed when they get worn out or wet. Shoes can be changed for school and for work.
- They are water resistant and easy to clean.
- They are less noticeable than metal braces. If desired, socks can be worn over them to hide them.
- Children usually prefer them and are more likely to keep wearing them.
A disadvantage to plastic braces is that usually after a year or two the plastic 'gets tired' and breaks. However, growing children need larger braces fairly often. It is wise to keep the plaster mold of each child's brace so that a new brace can be easily made if needed.
Although a little more equipment and skill are needed to make plastic braces, once a village worker has learned the basic technique, they can be made as quickly and easily as a simple metal brace with a clog.
The biggest expense in making plastic braces is the plaster bandage used for casting a mold of the leg. The cost can be reduced a lot by making your own plaster bandage material.
Plastic braces can feel uncomfortable in hot weather and can lead to skin irritation and fungus infections if care is not taken. They can be made cooler by drilling 'breathing holes' in them. Or cut out a hole in the back.
To prevent skin irritation, it is important to bathe daily. It also helps to wear cotton (not nylon) stockings under the brace and to use clean stockings every day.
CAUTION! Do not put breathing holes in the lower part of the brace which has to be the strongest.
|Sometimes if you cut a hole out behind the heel, the brace rubs less and is more comfortable.
|This design of plastic brace supports the knee from the front and pushes it back (see "How to Control Up and Down Movement of Foot" and "Different plastic brace models for different needs").
How to make plastic braces
Here we describe 2 methods for making molded plastic braces:
The first method uses old plastic buckets or containers, and needs less equipment. Unfortunately, these braces tend to break easily when used for walking. However, they make excellent, low-cost night braces (to wear while sleeping).
The second method uses sheets of polypropylene plastic. Additional equipment (such as a vacuum sweeper) is needed, and it is a little more expensive. However, the result is a high-quality brace that can last for months or sometimes years.
Method 1: Plastic bucket braces
Equipment and materials needed:
|hand or electric
Making the plastic-bucket brace consists of 3 main steps:
A. Making a hollow plaster cast of the child's leg
B. Making a solid plaster mold of the leg
C. Heat-molding the plastic-bucket brace
A. Making the hollow cast
|1. Tie a knot in the end of a soft rope.
|2. Put the rope on top of the leg with the knot between the toes.
|3. Put the stocking tightly on the foot with the rope inside (or wrap it with a thin cloth). Avoid wrinkles.
|4. Wet a plaster bandage and squeeze out the extra water.
Make sure the rope stays very straight.
|5. Wrap on a thin cast (about 3 layers) while someone else holds the foot in a good position. Be sure the heel is covered with several layers.
|6. While the plaster is still wet, smooth it gently with moist hands, and press the cast gently into all the hollows of the foot.
|7. Before the plaster becomes firm, place the foot in exactly the position that you want the brace to hold it in. Sometimes it works well to hold the foot in your hands. But often it works best to have the child step firmly on the floor, or on a padded board.
|Be sure to position the leg straight up, from side view and front view.
|8. Draw some lines over the front of the cast.
|9. When the cast is almost firm but still damp (usually in 5 to 10 minutes), carefully cut through the plaster over the rope. Take care not to cut the child.
|10. Then gently remove the cast without changing its shape.
|11. Quickly (before it is fully hard) close the cast, line up the lines you drew, and tie it shut with cloth or string.
|12. Tie a cloth tightly over the opening of the toes.
B. Making the solid plaster mold
|1. Put a bent piece of rod into the hollow cast
|2. Hold the cast in a standing position— perhaps in a box of sand.
|3. Mix the plaster: Put water in a container, enough to fill the cast.
|While stirring, sprinkle dry plaster into the water Keep adding until the mix is just thick enough that wrinkles stay a moment on the surface.
|4. Quickly pour the mix into the cast. Jiggle the rod and tap the cast to be sure the mix fills all spaces.
|5. Hold the rod in the middle until the plaster is firm.
|6. After plaster hardens fully (about one hour) remove the solid mold.
|7. Being careful not to change the shape or size of the mold, use fresh plaster to fill in any holes or pits that are not caused by the shape of the foot. Add a little fresh plaster over bony places (so final brace will not rub).
|8. Smooth the surface (with a file, piece of wire screen, or piece of broken glass). Do not reduce any of the bumps caused by the bones.
C. Heat-molding the plastic-bucket brace
|1. Mark on the child's leg the shape of the brace.
|2. Take measurements as shown for the width and length of the brace.
|3. Draw an outline on paper, according to the measurements and cut out the pattern.
|4. Mark the pattern on the plastic.
|5. Cut out the pattern with a saw or strong scissors.
|6. Make V-shaped cuts here to help bend the hot plastic around heel.
|7. Heat the oven to at least 450° F (230° C). If you cannot measure or control heat, put a small piece of plastic into the oven and heat it until the plastic becomes soft and gooey.
|8. Heat the plaster leg cast in the hot oven for 15 to 20 minutes.
|9. Put the hot mold on the rack.
|10. Lightly sprinkle dry plaster or talc on a metal sheet or tray.
|11. Put the plastic form on tray and put the tray into the hot oven.
|12. Leave it in oven only until plastic becomes somewhat flexible.
|13. Take hot plastic out of oven with gloves. Bend it over the hot mold.
|14. With strips of rubber, wrap plastic tightly to force it against the mold.
|15. And put it back into oven until plastic gets softer.*
|16. Remove from hot oven and press forcefully (with gloves) to fuse overlapped plastic at heels.
|17. Also press in any hollows around bones and on bottom of foot. Keep pressing until plastic begins to cool and stiffen.
|18. While brace is cooling, heal soldering iron.
Heat to moderate heat — not red hot.
|19. Unwrap cloth from brace while still warm and use soldering iron to smooth and weld heel joint.
|20. When cool, trim and smooth the edges of the brace.
|21. Glue or rivet a strap near the top of the brace.
|For easier fastening, use Velcro straps.
|For night splints, add 1 or 2 more straps at the ankle and foot.
pad well
|For day use, or use with sandals or shoes, only the upper strap is needed.
Note: Braces made from plastic buckets or containers tend to break fairly easily if a larger child uses them for walking. It is better to use polypropylene plastic (see below).
*Take care not to overheat the plastic, because the plastic used for many buckets and containers tends to wrinkle like bacon when it gets too hot.
Method 2: Polypropylene braces
Polypropylene is a special plastic available in large sheets from orthopedic supply stores and some plastic factories. For most braces, sheets 30 cm. by 60 cm. (1 foot by 2 feet) are large enough. Thickness should be 3 mm. (⅛ inch) for thinner, more flexible braces and 4 mm. to 5 mm. (3/16 inch) for stronger, less flexible braces.
This method is the one used by professional brace makers. Here we simplify it as much as possible. Equipment and materials needed are mostly the same as in Method 1. However, high-quality braces can be made more easily with a few extra pieces of equipment (they are not absolutely necessary). This extra equipment includes:
- special oven*
SIMPLE SHEET-METAL BOX OVEN (riveted or soldered together)
If you can get it, rivet a piece of 'Teflon' cloth over the metal sheet. This will help keep the hot plastic from sticking to the metal. Or you can use a Teflon spray.
(designs from Huckstep's Poliomyelitis.)
- vacuum sweeper
(if electricity is available) or other form of suction. (The suction pulls the hot plastic tightly against the cast until it cools. However, this is not absolutely necessary.)
- metal pipe
Tape it to the end of the vacuum sweeper hose.
The pipe should be a little bigger than the rod used in the leg cast. By bending the rod slightly, it will fit very tightly into the pipe.
Figure out some way to clamp or bolt the pipe firmly to a strong bench or table.
- electric cast-cutter
|These are very expensive but a great help if you are making a lot of plastic braces. If you do not have a cast-cutter you may have to use a hammer and chisel to cut the plastic. You can heat the chisel so that it will melt the plastic.
Making the polypropylene (or polyethylene) brace
'Steps A and B are the same as described for Method 1.
Step C. Heat-molding the plastic brace
|1. Put the rod of the plaster mold into the vacuum pipe. Be sure it is very tight. (If not, take it out and bend the rod a bit more.)
|2. Stretch stockinette or stocking tightly over the cast and tape it to the pipe.
|3. Sprinkle dry plaster powder or talc over the entire foot and smooth it with your fingers.
|4. Preheat the 'oven' and sprinkle plaster powder or talc evenly over the hot metal sheet.
|5. Cut a piece of polypropylene plastic large enough to stretch around the entire toot, and put it into the oven to heat.
|6. As the plastic gets hot enough to mold, it will turn clear so you can easily see through it. It often gets clear in the middle first.
|7. To move the hot plastic, 2 persons must wear thick gloves. Sprinkle dry plaster powder, lime, or talc on them.
|8. As the plastic is getting hot, turn on the suction (vacuum cleaner) and listen for a hissing sound where the pipe joins the cast. (This means the suction is working.)
|9. When the plastic is hot enough (clear and limp), remove the oven lid, lift the hot plastic by its 4 corners, and quickly stretch it over the whole cast.
|10. Quickly pinch the edges of the plastic together along the bottom side of the leg and around the pipe. Squeeze together all edges to form a seal. You must work quickly to complete the seal before the plastic gets too cool.
|As soon as the seal is complete, the suction should pull the hot plastic close against the cast. But if necessary, help by pushing it into the hollows.
If no suction equipment is available, you can heat mold the plastic by stretching it over the cast and pushing in the hollows until it cools. With practice, this gives almost as good results, and you only need about half as much plastic.
|11. While the plastic is still hot and soft, cut off the extra with a sharp knife or strong scissors.
|12. After it cools, draw the form of the brace on the plastic,
|13. and cut it out either with a cast cutter,
|or a hammer and chisel, or a red hot soldering iron, or however you can.
|Finish the brace in the way described under Method 1 (steps 20 and 21).
Making sure plastic braces fit well and are comfortable
|The most common problem with plastic braces is that they press on bony bumps. To avoid this,
|put small pads over bony bumps before casting foot. Or, put the pads on the mold, and add a little fresh plaster to the bony bumps before molding the plastic.
When the child wears the plastic brace. if it presses too much on bony places, or elsewhere,
|heat a small area over the spot where the bone presses, and with a smooth, rounded stick push the hollow deeper. (Use a heat gun if you have one.)
|Soft padding inside the brace can make it more comfortable. Places that may need to be padded are:
over bony places or points of pressure
upper part
|For padding you can use a product called 'moleskin', or a special foam plastic material available from orthopedic supply stores. Or you can glue in pieces of cotton blanket or car inner tube (but make sure the child wears cotton stockings to avoid skin problems).
Deciding how wide or narrow to make the sides of the brace at different points will depend on the needs of the particular child.
A child whose ankle or foot is floppy or deformed, or who needs a stiff ankle brace to help push back a weak knee (see different needs) may need a brace with wide sides at the ankle and foot.
A child who needs only the ankle stabilized may walk better with a brace that lets the front of the foot bend up and down a little.
Many children benefit by a brace that allows some up and down ankle movement but prevents sideways movement. This can be done by cutting back the sides of the brace here.
This will be the weak point in the brace. So, the plastic must be extra thick here.
Or you can strengthen it by putting extra strips of hot plastic on the back of the plaster mold before stretching the whole plastic over it.
Different plastic brace models for different needs
In various places in this book we have shown different brace models and how they meet the particular needs of a child. See, for example, "Evaluating a Child's Needs for Aids and Procedures" and "Braces for use after correcting club feet". Here are a few more ideas for different plastic braces:
Below-knee brace that gives knee support
The child with a weak upper leg whose knee cannot support her full weight, may be helped enough by a brace that pushes her knee back.
A strong stiff ankle on the brace, with the foot tilted down slightly (more than 90°), pushes the knee back when she steps.
Front of brace presses against knee.
The simplest way to make this brace is to rivet the seam where the plastic joins in front. (See photo.)
Side-support knee brace
A brace that supports the knee may help a child that has a sideway bend or partial dislocation of the knee.
|Make the brace higher on the side that needs more support.
|Also, make the brace higher on the side of the ankle that needs more support.
|Also, in an above-knee brace, you can put extra support on the side of the knee that needs it.
Above-knee plastic braces
The simplest kind of above-knee plastic brace is a single piece without a knee hinge. You can make it in the same way as a below-knee brace, with or without a footpiece. These braces are useful on small children.

Precision Printing enhances casebinding with new kit haul
Richard Stuart-Turner
Friday, November 9, 2018
Precision Printing has augmented its casebinding capabilities after investing close to £200,000 in new equipment for the department.
In the first week of October the Dagenham-based business took delivery of a manual Zechini Roby Zero and a semi-automatic Zechini Roby Junior 2 casemakers, supplied by Friedheim International, plus a Schmedt PräLeg Neo XL casing-in machine and a Schmedt PräForm Neo pressing and joint-forming machine, supplied by Neenah Redbridge.
The equipment is all additional and complements the firm's existing casemaking machinery from Photobook Technology (PBT), which comprises a fully automatic hard cover unit, a fully automatic casing-in unit and a layflat hotmelt binder.
"This kit allows us to increase our firepower within that market space because we're seeing a rapid increase in the book market," said Precision Printing group chief operating officer Andy Skarpellis.
"It's a growing sector for [Precision's trade print service] Where The Trade Buys. It enables us to be more diverse with the volumes that we can take on, especially as we go into peak season."
The new equipment was chosen following a thorough review of the market that saw the business look at around 40 machines from nine different suppliers.
"Pound for pound, the Schmedt and Zechini machines were the best," said Skarpellis.
"They have given us a huge amount more flexibility to be able to produce book-of-one much faster, and also to be able to service our Where The Trade Buys customers in a quicker manner."
The new kit will be used to complete jobs printed on Precision's six HP Indigos – a 12000, a 10000 and four 7500s. The business also operates two eight-colour Ryobi LED UV offset presses at its 5,110sqm factory, which it moved into last year.
Separately, in June the business bolstered its finishing department with the installation of a Horizon StitchLiner Mark III and two VAC-600 collators from Intelligent Finishing Systems (IFS).
This kit enables the company to run 35 to 40 jobs per shift, up from the 20 to 25 it had been able to fulfil prior to the investment.
Skarpellis said the firm's complete finishing investment during 2018 represents another separate £200,000 spend, and also includes some secondhand guillotines installed earlier in the year.
"Our offline commercial sector is growing as well and the additional casebinding and StitchLiner machinery allows us to service our customers in a more robust way, because from a contingency point of view just having one machine is never healthy," he added.
Precision Printing employs around 200 permanent staff across three sites, including 160 in Dagenham, though the number of people working at this site ramps up to 300 in peak season. The business is forecasting a turnover of £25m for 2018.

Greg Helbeck is a real estate investor and the owner of Velocity House Buyers, a company that purchases off-market homes in the New York and Texas areas. The company prefers to buy houses that are considered "distressed" properties - homes that are currently in sticky situations such as foreclosure, probate, or quick sales. His strategy for finding homes is considered unorthodox, but it has enabled him to find his footing in the big world of real estate.
Greg joins me today to share what it's like to work in a virtual real estate market. He shares his humble beginnings, his first and worst deals, and why he decided to take an unconventional route when it came to finding properties to purchase. He also discusses the various methods he uses in closing deals and how hiring a genealogist has impacted his business.

If your report is based on a query, simply appliy your criteria in the query.
If your report is based on a table, you could set the record source of the report to a select statement, i.e.
select * from table where tickbox = true
Or if you run your report from a from with a button. You could use the where parameter of the OpenReport method. Then you simply put "tickbox = true" in the where part.
Also, if you select a category on the form to print the report, you could put that in the where parameter as well. So you would put "category = '" & Me!Category & "'" in the where part.
Hu Sleepybird! As mentioned above, I'm assuming you are obtaining the data for your report via a query. If you have a field, for instance, "vendor" and you just want the report to look at vendor "Kroger" (or whatever) in the criteria for that query field just type the word "Kroger". If there are other vendors, type "Kroger" or "Safeway" or "Alco". Run the query and see if that doesn't return the data you want to see. The previous writer is exactly right about selecting "true" in the criteria for a yes/no box (or "false" as the case may be.) Good luck! It looks like you are a beginner and I promise you that you will LOVE this program the more you get into it!

The Busy Mom's Beauty Guide for 2018
Treating pimples
For a quick fix, apply a spot treatment with benzoyl peroxide, says Sejal Shah, MD, a cosmetic dermatologist in NYC. Use a retinoid treatment nightly to prevent breakouts. Francesca Fusco, MD, a dermatologist in NYC, suggests pore strips if you have lots of blackheads.
Buy: Clearasil 5-in-1 Spot Treatment, walmart.com, $5.50. Differin Gel, amazon.com, $30. Bioré Limited Edition Citrus Crush Pore Strips, target.com, $6.50.
- RELATED: The Fix: Morning Skin Care Tips
Crow's feet
Sunglasses are a must, says Fusco, both to block sun damage and prevent squinting. Use an eye cream with retinol to help smooth and fill lines—the thin skin around eyes will absorb it quickly. For an instant plumping effect, try eye patches with hyaluronic acid.
Buy: Kiehl's Youth Dose Eye Treatment, kiehls.com, $39. Wander Beauty Baggage Claim Gold Eye Masks, wanderbeauty.com, $25.
Oily complexion
Wash your face with a cleanser that contains salicylic acid to help clean out pores, says Shah. Use a clay mask once or twice a week to absorb excess oil. And keep blotting papers handy for touch-ups.
Buy: Proactiv Deep Cleansing Wash, proactiv.com, $35. Burt's Bees Detoxifying Clay Mask, burtsbees.com, $15. Tatcha Original Aburatorigami Japanese Blotting Papers, tatcha.com, $12.
Apply cold milk compresses for a quick calming effect, says Fusco. Look for products with soothing ingredients, like oatmeal or licorice extract, says Shah. Plus, creams with a green tint will help mask redness.
Buy: It Cosmetics Bye Bye Redness Moisturizer, itcosmetics.com, $48. Eucerin Roughness Relief Lotion, cvs.com, $13.
Red bumps on upper arms
Those bumps are keratosis pilaris, a skin condition where a buildup of keratin protein blocks hair follicles. To minimize bumps, use a moisturizer with lactic acid to remove dead cells while keeping skin hydrated, says Shah.
Buy: AmLactin Rapid Relief, target.com, $19.
Dry, flaky skin
Gently exfoliate with a body scrub, suggests Fusco. If your skin is extra dry, add a few drops of body oil to lotion. Or, if you're pressed for time, try an in-shower moisturizer.
Buy: Goop G.Tox Salt Detox Body Scrub, goop.com, $40. Avène Skin Care Oil, aveneusa.com, $26. Nivea Essentially Enriched Body Lotion, cvs.com, $8. Jergens Natural Glow Wet Skin Moisturizer, target.com, $9.
Dark spots
Always apply sunscreen, says Fusco, as UV rays can exacerbate pigmentation and cause new spots to form. Use a cream with hydroquinone, a proven lightening ingredient, to treat existing spots. You can also apply a vitamin C serum, says Shah, to brighten skin and prevent free-radical damage.
Buy: Olay Regenerist Whip, olay.com, $29. Paula's Choice Resist Triple-Action Dark Spot Eraser, paulaschoice.com, $27. 100% Pure Vitamin C Serum, 100percentpure.com, $41.
Dry, scaly feet
For an intense treatment—skin peels off over the course of three to seven days—BabyFoot gets rid of dead skin cells, leaving feet soft. Or exfoliate with a pumice stone and apply a cream with lactic acid.
Buy: Baby Foot Exfoliation Foot Peel, babyfoot.com, $25. CeraVe Renewing SA Foot Cream, amazon.com, $12.
Chapped lips
Dip a soft toothbrush in sugar or baking soda and gently brush lips to remove flakes, suggests Fusco. Next, use a classic lip ointment or balm, like Vaseline Lip Therapy Original (target.com, $2.50), to add moisture back into lips, says Shah.
Look for one without scent or flavor, since those can be irritating.
Fine hair always falling flat
The easiest way to add lift is with a volumizing mousse. Try L'Oréal Paris Advanced Hairstyle Boost It Volume Inject Mousse (lorealparis.com, $5). Put a golf-ball-sized dollop in your palm and massage into damp roots. Brush hair in an upward direction with a boar and nylon bristle brush, like Harry Josh Pro Tools Premium Oval Brush (dermstore.com, $50) as you flip head over and rough-dry hair with a blow-dryer and your hands. T3 Cura Dryer (sephora.com, $200) is a favorite. Flip head up and use a ceramic round brush to gently smooth hair in large sections. For an additional boost, start with a thickening shampoo, like John Frieda Luxurious Volume Core Restore Shampoo (ulta.com, $12.50).
If sleek and straight is your goal, spritz an anti-humidity spray onto hair before using any hot tool, says David Lopez, T3 lead hairstylist. If you'd rather air-dry, comb hair in the shower with a wide-tooth comb and don't brush afterward. Glide a lightweight styling crème over damp hair, focusing on mid-lengths to ends with just a bit on the crown. Always choose a sulfate-free shampoo, like Hair Food Sulfate Free Hair Milk Shampoo (ulta.com, $10). Sulfates tend to rough up the cuticle, causing frizz. And for a quick fix, a frizz sheet smooths any unexpected fuzzies.
Buy: Living Proof No Frizz Humidity Shield, livingproof.com, $23. Love Beauty and Planet Smooth and Serene Argan Oil & Lavender Leave-In-Smoothie Cream, lovebeautyandplanet.com, $7. OUAI Anti-Frizz Sheets, theouai.com, $18.
Creating a pulled-together ponytail
Make your pony polished by keeping it sleek. Spray a medium-hold spray on a boar bristle brush and brush hair in the direction of the ponytail, using the middle of your ear as a guide for placement. Secure with an elastic—black for dark hair, clear for lighter shades—to blend into hair.
Buy: Tresemmé Micro-Mist Hair Spray, target.com, $5.
Dry hair
A quick rule of thumb: Avoid high heat. Turn down the setting on your hot tools by half to reduce damage. Use a natural hair oil—like one with argan or sunflower seed oil—on mid-lengths to ends. Avoid products with silicone; it acts like a Band-Aid and prevents moisture from actually penetrating hair. Lastly, use a moisture mask once a week.
Buy: Aveda Dry Remedy Daily Moisturizing Oil, aveda.com, $31. Garnier Whole Blends Hydrating Mask with Coconut Water & Vanilla Milk Extracts, walmart.com, $7.
Styling a cropped cut
With short hair, it's all about using your blow-dryer and hands to get the look you want. Add the concentrator attachment to your dryer for focused air flow, and finish styling with a texturizing pomade for added hold. If you want more body, spritz a root volumizing spray onto damp roots before blow-drying.
Buy: Sun Bum Sonny's Original Surf Paste, trustthebum.com, $15. Sexy Hair Big Sexy Hair Root Pump Plus, sexyhair.com, $19.
Oily hair
If you struggle with greasy hair, dry shampoo will be your new best friend, says Lopez. While it's easy to spray and go, Lopez suggests blow-drying the product into hair on medium heat to activate the formula. Massage a few drops of lavender oil into scalp before showering to help control oil.
Buy: Dove Refresh+Care Fresh Coconut Dry Shampoo, target.com, $5.
Styling curly hair
Use a sulfate-free curl shampoo and leave a little conditioner on the edges to quench dry ends, says Lopez. For maximum curl definition, apply products on soaking-wet hair. Lopez suggests a cocktail of two products: an alcohol-free gel (won't dry hair out) with a curl cream. Use a cotton T-shirt to squeeze water out, then scrunch hair upward and let it dry.
Buy: SheaMoisture Curl and Shine Shampoo, sheamoisture.com, $12. Biolage Curl Defining Elixir, matrix.com, $17. DevaCurl Supercream, devacurl.com, $28.
Daytime eye makeup
For a simple yet polished look, try a wash of color on the lid, says Lori Taylor-Davis, Smashbox Cosmetics global pro lead makeup artist. Look for a long-wear cream shadow two shades darker than your skin tone and apply from the lash line to the crease. Add mascara.
Buy: Younique Moodstruck Splurge Cream Shadow, youniqueproducts.com, $26. Maybelline New York The Falsies False Lash Mascara, ulta.com, $8.
Lipstick that lasts through lunch
The key to long-lasting lipcolor is layering, says Casco. Choose a nude lip liner that's one shade darker than your lips to outline and fill in lips—this will give lipstick something to adhere to. Next, apply a long-wearing lipstick, blot with a tissue and apply a second layer. The tissue removes moisture from lips, giving the lipstick more staying power.
Buy: Mary Kay Lip Liner, marykay.com, $12. Beautycounter Color Intense Lipstick in Girls' Night, beautycounter.com, $34.
Mascara flaking around eyes
Make sure lashes are clean before using mascara, says Luis Casco, Mary Kay Global Beauty Ambassador. Brush a disposable spoolie through lashes to get rid of debris. Look for a small wand with thin bristles—it deposits less product and shouldn't flake.
Buy: NYX Professional Makeup The Skinny Mascara, nyxcosmetics.com, $7.
Eyebrows smudging when sweating
Try this hack to keep arches in place: Dab eye shadow primer onto brows before applying any brow product—it will help the product stick to hairs and last the whole day, says Taylor-Davis.
Buy: Amazing Cosmetics Illuminate Eye Primer, amazingcosmetics.com, $24. Benefit Brow Contour Pro, benefitcosmetics.com, $32.
Covering a pimple
Dip a precision-tip eyeliner brush into a full-coverage matte concealer (which is different from your brightening under-
eye concealer) and dab onto blemish—sweeping across won't conceal as well. For oily skin, set with a translucent powder using a small fluffy brush.
Buy: Charlotte Tilbury Magic Away Concealer, charlottetilbury.com, $32.
Choosing the right foundation
Lighting is really important when selecting foundation, says Taylor-Davis. Make sure you're near a window or outside in natural light for the best match. While the jawline used to be the go-to spot for testing, she suggests swiping on cheeks, because most discoloration on the face shows up there . Casco also recommends considering your skin type when choosing foundation. Oily and dry complexions do best with different formulas.
Buy: Flesh Firm Flesh Thickstick Foundation, ulta.com, $18.
Removing waterproof makeup
Double cleanse to get rid of really stubborn makeup, says Taylor-Davis. Start with an oil-based cleansing balm to melt and break up product. Then wash with a foaming cleanser to remove leftovers. Casco also suggests layering waterproof mascara on top of regular mascara (instead of using two coats of waterproof) for easier removal.
Buy: Pond's Cold Cream Cleansing Balm, walmart.com, $10. The Body Shop Drops of Youth Youth Gentle Foamwash, thebodyshop.com, $18.
