Design considerations
Insert bearings are not intended to accommodate axial displacement of the shaft relative to the housing. The distance between bearing positions should therefore be short to avoid excessive induced axial loads as a result of thermal expansion of the shaft.
Design for small axial displacementTo accommodate small axial displacement, the bearings should be supported by resilient sheet metal support surfaces or walls (fig. 1).
Design for larger axial displacementIn applications where there are low speeds and light loads, an insert bearing with grub screws can be used to accommodate axial displacement. The shaft at the non-locating bearing position should be provided with one or two grooves, 120° apart, to engage a modified grub screw:
- Hexagon socket grub (set) screws with a dog point, in accordance with ISO 4028, but with a fine thread according to the product table. The grub screw should be secured by a nut and a spring or star lock washer (fig. 2).
The screws and groove(s) accommodate changes in shaft length and prevent the shaft from turning independently of the bearing. The sliding surfaces between the shaft and inner ring and those in the shaft grooves should be coated with a lubricant paste.
Recommended fits for insert bearings are listed in table 1. Fig. 3 illustrates the relative position of the upper and lower limits of the most commonly used ISO shaft tolerance classes for insert bearings, except for those with a standard inner ring. The values for these tolerance classes are listed in table 2.

Holy spit!
According to multiple media reports, prior to the Houston Texans rematch with the New England Patriots, Texans DE J.J. Watt has spit on the New England Patriots logo. According to the reports, Mr. Watt approached the logo at midfield, "expectorated" on it and then wiped his feet. Calls to the Patriots grounds crew to determine the extent, if any, of the damage, have not been returned.
Patriots fans, known as "Patriot Nation" are expectedly upset with the maneuver. When reached for comment, one fan said "Hey @JJWatt I was a fan of yours but apparently you are a classless piece of garbage. That is a Terrell Owens move spitting on the logo." An official response has not yet been issued.
The Texans are in Foxboro to play Tom Brady and the New England Patriots in the late game of Sunday's Divisional round of the NFL Playoffs. The Patriots last hosted the Texans in a Monday Night Football matchup on December 10, 2012 where Houston was resoundingly defeated. Tom Brady threw four unanswered touchdown passes en route to a decisive 42-14 win. J.J. Watt was held to just two tackles and one forced fumble.

Downtown Bangkok has always been a preferred option for hotel developments. In this area alone, hotel supply is growing so rapidly that CBRE expects the total number of rooms to increase by 20% by 2021.
The growth in supply means that there are more opportunities for local and international hotel management companies, as more hotel owners choose to outsource the management of their properties.
While the trend has been that international hotel brands tend to have a greater share of the first-class and luxury sector, both international and local hotel management companies are now offering a far greater range of brands that extend into the economy sector.

No wonder your my idol! I wish I had your "job"
Oh my God I jerked off 4 times
May I explain why "swallowing" is such an important element of a blowjob in terms of physical pleasure? Because the girl that swallows can continue sliding her lips and tongue over the crown of the penis while the man is cumming and her swallowing on the go means she won't suddenly stop in mid-cum to turn her head away, to run across the room or to run to the bathroom to spit the cum out. There is no added physical pleasure for the penis when the girl actually swallows the liquid. Emotional pleasure, yes. Physical pleasure, no. Instead, what matters is the fact that she can maintain the action that is making him cum right through his orgasm and without interruption at a critical moment. Therefore, interrupting your own blowjob to jerk yourself off...with your own hand...merely to make sure we "see" the cum entering her mouth, "see" the girl spit up the cum into her hand, "see" the girl suck the cum back up and to make a separate event of the actual swallowing utterly defeats the purpose of a girl agreeing to swallow your cum in the first place. In terms of physical pleasure, that is. So...please stop pulling your dick away from the girl's mouth to jerk yourself off when it is clear the girl can and wants to make you cum with her mouth and hands. Please stop telling the girl "don't swallow" when it is clear she wants to swallow. We'd rather see the girl follow her own natural desire and instinct to swallow a man's cum than hear you tell her not to do it so she can spit it up into her hand and suck it up later as though the action of her swallowing something long after your dick has left her mouth is supposed to add some physical pleasure to your penis when we all know it does not. Thank you.
Silly me - I thought cumming twice might imply a woman actually might enjoy sex in a video to the point of even having not one, but even TWO orgasms. I should've known better than to set my sights so high as to think a man directing a porn video would think about a woman's pleasure.

CALGARY — A local animal rights group is planning a protest Saturday outside Stampede Park following the death of three horses at Thursday night's Calgary Stampede GMC Rangeland Derby.
The anti-rodeo and chuckwagon racing protest will take place at 12:15 p.m. at 15th Avenue/Macleod Trail S.E. (Stampede Victoria Park LRT Station) "to mark the occasion of the Calgary Stampede's 100th Anniversary of cruel and callous acts perpetrated upon animals," said Michael Alvarez-Toye, of the Calgary Animal Rights Coalition, adding that 84 animals have been killed since 1986 at the Stampede's rodeo and chuckwagon racing.
Stampede spokesman Doug Fraser said the "serious mishap" occurred in the fourth heat of the evening competition, when the lead horse on rider Chad Harden's wagon faltered coming around the back stretch. All four horses and the wagon went down as the first horse stumbled.
Read the Stampede's statement on the crash.
Fraser said the lead horse died on scene, and two others had to be euthanized due to the severity of their injuries. The fourth horse is in veterinary care but is expected to survive.
A visibly distraught Harden was in tears as he spoke to media later Thursday night. He said the crash was a tragic accident that "just happened so fast." He said he loved all of the horses, referring to one in particular as a family pet that was supposed to become his son's horse one day.
"You just can't replace them. They're like humans, they're family," Harden said. "It's devastating."
Calgary Stampede chief veterinarian Dr. Greg Evans said an autopsy will be conducted to determine cause of death for the lead horse. He said he, too, is shaken by what happened.
"If there's any chance for survival or reassessment, that is given. . . . But when the injuries are dramatic and obvious and there is no humane option for those animals, the decision (to euthanize) is made immediately."
The Calgary Humane Society called the deaths "an unfortunate reality."
"We will continue to work with the Stampede (to make these events safer)," said humane society spokeswoman Christy Thompson.
"But it is the underlying reason why we oppose the use of animals for entertainment."PETA was also disappointed to hear the news of the horse deaths and called for an end to these events.
"Animals are put in situations where they are certain to be injured whether mistreated or seen as expendable," said Ashley Byrne, manager of campaigns.
"We do see tragic situations like this."
The Vancouver Humane Society, a longtime critic of the Stampede's events, called for the suspension of the chuckwagon races and an independent safety review of the event.
"Clearly, the Stampede's much publicized safety improvements have failed to make the race any safer," spokesman Peter Fricker said in a news release.
"The Stampede has run out of excuses," Fricker said. "Now is the time to take real action to stop these horses from dying."
Dennis Luce of Houston, Texas, was in the stands Thursday night and witnessed the crash.
"It was horrible," Luce said.
"It didn't take them long to get out there and put a tarp up, and then you couldn't see what was going on. But nobody wants to see something like that."

I wrote earlier this month on the regional variations between the different types of heroin we see out west vs back in the midatlantic region. One interesting thing that I would note is that we just don't see much heroin use out where we are, at least not on a comparable basis. Nor, now that I think of it, do we see much cocaine use. I think part of this is that we are in a suburban location -- not the affluent suburbs by any means, more of a gritty, blue-collar exurb -- but a suburb nonetheless. When I do see someone who admits to cocaine use in particular, they are quite commonly "visiting" from the Big City directly to the south of where we work.
Because meth is as hard on the body as it is on the mind -- the relentless expenditure of energy, physical and mental, strips fat from the body, followed by muscle mass, until all that is left is skeletal.
The above photo series is entirely consistent with what I see in the ED. Actually, if anything it understates the physical devastation that meth brings. The phenomenon of "meth mouth" is amazing to see. Nobody really knows why -- whether it's a drug-related toxicity, or due to the incessant grinding of teeth, but meth users have the most astonishing dentition. 20-year olds with all their teeth broken off at the gum line. They're uninsured, practically unemployable, so no dentist will touch them, and as a result they much come to the ER repeatedly for dental pain. It's hard to blame them when you look into their mouths, but what do you do? Write weekly scripts for vicodin for people who are already addicted to one drug? Talk about a catch-22. Also, for some reason, maybe hygiene though I don't really know, but MRSA flourishes in our meth-head population. Facial lesions are common due to nervous picking at the skin, and their faces, already hollow-cheeked and sunken-eyed, become pockmarked and scabrous to boot.
I don't have a conclusion here -- there's no simple, neat, pat answer to this new epidemic. It's a scary thing, which reminds me more of the onslaught of the crack epidemic in the '80s. That seems to have peaked and I hope that out here the same can be said for meth. I see less of it than I did two years ago. But it's a scary glimpse into the dystopian future of designer drugs. Blade Runner had nothing on this stuff.
I seem to have a talent for waxing prolific about the drugs we see in the ER. I'll try to finish my trilogy with some comments on the other popular drug of abuse in our ER -- Oxycodone -- tomorrow. And if history is to be any guide, by "tomorrow" I mean "on our about May 22."

A new study presented at the European League Against Rheumatism Annual Congress (EULAR 2014) highlights the increased health care costs associated with musculoskeletal conditions compared to other diseases. Health care costs were almost 50% higher for people with a musculoskeletal condition compared to any other singly occurring condition.1
This disparity remained high where two conditions co-existed, with health care costs still one third higher (36%) for those people with one of their two conditions musculoskeletal in nature, highlighting the significant impact of these diseases.1
In Europe, 70-80% of all health care costs relate to chronic diseases, a large proportion of which are musculoskeletal conditions. This study showed a steep increase in health care costs as the number of diseases (morbidities) in a single patient increased. Interestingly, musculoskeletal conditions had a larger impact on health care costs than any other diseases, whether occurring alone or as co-morbidity.1
"It is clear that the cost of delivering care to those patients with musculoskeletal conditions is considerably higher than those with other diseases. In these economically challenging times, this research highlights a clear area of focus for policy makers where prioritisation of musculoskeletal disorders could result in longer term cost efficiencies," said Dr Anjte Van Der Zee-Neuen of the Division of Rheumatology, Maastricht University, The Netherlands.
More than 150 conditions affect the muscles, bones, and joints, and these are collectively described as musculoskeletal conditions.2 They are a common group of conditions affecting up to 20% of adults.1,3 Their prevalence increases considerably with age making them the main cause of disability among the elderly.3
Rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis and lower back pain are the most commonly known examples of musculoskeletal conditions.
This Dutch cross-sectional study of 8,904 people assessed how the number of diseases an individual has impacts on their total health care cost, and which combinations of diseases have the greater impact on cost.
The study collated individuals self-reported physician-diagnosed diseases, including musculoskeletal conditions, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, migraine, respiratory, skin, mental and bowel conditions, along with their healthcare usage. Total health care costs were calculated for a three-month period using reference prices from the Dutch manual for pharmaco-economic health care evaluations 2010, adjusting for inflation as required and using healthy individuals as the reference point.
More than one disease diagnosis, known as multi-morbidity, was present in almost 20% of cases (1,722), with 20% (1,766) of people reported to have a musculoskeletal condition. The health care costs increased steeply as the number of diseases in an individual increased, but the presence of musculoskeletal conditions had a larger impact on the total cost than any other condition. When two diseases were present in an individual, neither of which were musculoskeletal conditions, their healthcare costs were two times higher than a healthy person. However, if one of the two diseases was a musculoskeletal condition, the health care costs were three times higher than for a healthy person.

Sharp PN-K321 Ultra HD Monitor
The next big thing in digital displays will be Ultra HD -- four times the resolution of today's 1080p. Among the first out of the gate was Sharp and its PN-K321 Ultra HD monitor, a 3,840-x-2,160 panel that's ideal for medical imaging, CAD/CAM, video production and other applications that rely on crisp resolutions and accurate colors. It employs a technology Sharp developed called indium gallium zinc oxide, or IGZO. It's faster, thinner and more translucent than today's active layer technology -- amorphous silicon -- and can, therefore, allow more light to pass through more densely packed pixels. The result is greater resolution displays with faster refresh rates that use less energy to run and require less cabinet space to keep cool. Interestingly, Sharp's new technology also has persistence characteristics that enable it to maintain unchanged portions of the display without the aid of the graphics processor, a capability that's expected to be of great benefit to mobile devices. Apple is reportedly evaluating IGZO for a future version of the iPhone. Pricing starts around $4,000.

ianhannaford necessitava di un nuovo design di altri e ha lanciato un contest su 99designs.
È stato scelto un vincitore tra 19 design presentati da 6 designer.
We have 18 Hypnosis DVD's that we need covers desinged for. The DVD's are organsied into 6 sets and so 6 designs need doing. We need the designs for the DVD and for the DVD cover (I think that the DVD disc should be smaller version of the DVD cover)
Self Help Series
Desired Color Scheme:
Desired Style:
Accepted File Formats:
Standard Web Formats (.jpg, .gif or .png); Vector Formats (.eps, .pdf or .ai); PSD
They are produced by our company and form part of a series called 'Self Help Series'.
The 6 DVD sets are as follows: They have a title (i.e The Well Being Bundle) and each contain three topics (i.e. Stop Somiking, loss weight etc...)
1) The Well Being Bundle (Stop Smoking, Loss Weight, Beat Stress)
2) Brilliant Business Success (Public Speaking, Sales Power, Goal Setting)
3) Powerful Personal Development (Making Money, Time Management, Guided Relaxation)
4) Reliable Relief Methods (Allergy Relief, Back Pain Relief, Migrane Releif)
5) Successfull Self Improvement (Psychic Power, Problem Solving, Better Memory)
6) Sports and Creativity Collection (Better Golf, Master Martial Arts, Creative Thinking)
There will be 6 DVD covers in total. I am expecting that each DVD within a set will have the same cover but with different wording (i.e. Stop Smoiking, Weight Loss etc...)
We need to have 'Self Help Series' on the cover and would be good if we could have a logo for the 'Self Help Series' instead of just words. The backs of the cover needs a space for us to write some contents information.

Last Friday, pod2g's discovered a flaw in the SMS application used in the Apple iPhone. The flaw allows a sender of a malicious address to make it appear that the message comes from a trusted source. This could allow "pirates could send a message that seems to come from the bank of the receiver asking for some private information, or inviting them to go to a dedicated website." This flaw is still present in the latest beta of the next version of iOS6 which will be released together with the next iPhone.
Apple's response to the matter has been to effectively say use iMessage instead:
"Apple takes security very seriously. When using iMessage instead of SMS, addresses are verified which protects against these kinds of spoofing attacks. One of the limitations of SMS is that it allows messages to be sent with spoofed addresses to any phone, so we urge customers to be extremely careful if they're directed to an unknown website or address over SMS." (Source: Engadget).
The response is a bit odd. Instead of promising a fix, Apple seems to be saying that you really cannot trust a SMS message received on an iPhone. I am not sure if Apple has no plans to fix the problem or simply want's to downplay the issue now, since there is no time to implement a fix before the release of the next iPhone. In any event, using iMessage is not a solution. Not everyone is on an iPhone, and those that are, are not all on unlimited data plans. And what about messages from other people, you cannot always reply by iMessage.
In any event, the nature of the flaw now being public, best advice is do not give complete trust that SMS messages received from your iPhone come from the source indicated in the message. Basically, do not send reply with any sensitive information via SMS and do not click website links in SMS messages you receive.

The "green" shoots of recycling have flowered in London fashion, the only international show arena to send out a continuing message about sustainability.
Esthetica was founded six years ago and grows each season at the British Fashion Council's venue at Somerset House, under the curatorship of Orsola de Castro and Filippo Ricci. Ms. De Castro's protégée this season is Liora Lassalle, winner of the "Re-Source" competition with Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design.
Ms. Lassalle graduated from the fashion school last summer and already has her perky, modern artisanship on sale at Yoox.com. The hot look? Garbage bags worked with denim to make a colorful and hyper-modern patchwork skirt.
Bottletop is on the label — but it says so much more. Taking recycled bottle tops and using them to add shape, structure and pops of color at the seams of its handbags, the label's workshop in Salvador, Brazil, gives employment to women and uses profits to fund a foundation to help with health issues. The company also offers youth aid across Africa, from Malawi and Mozambique through Kenya and Rwanda.
Behind the brand, founded in 2002, are Cameron Saul and his father, Roger, who founded the Mulberry brand. The essence of the bags, as of other offerings at Esthetica, is that the products stand out as stylish, visually appealing and desirable.
Christopher Raeburn was one of the first British designers to take a worthy project and bring his collection closer each season to the idea of a fashion aesthetic. His innovations for autumn 2013 included rusty camouflage textures, inspired by old naval seaports along the English coast, and striped fabrics, using outside and inside surfaces, taken from surplus fabrics intended for Russian Breton-style military blousons.
Felted wool fabrics, made water resistant with Teflon, are another way that Mr. Raeburn brings the 21st century to existing materials.
Above all, the designer has used his talent for sourcing and creating pioneering fabrics that he makes into modern, sporty clothes with an increasing focus on accessories.
The concept of recycling is in the mind as well as in products. That was evident at the Rock Vault, the center for emerging jewelers, selected by the British jewelry giant Stephen Webster, which is sponsored by the International Palladium Board.
A watch abstracted to an object with no dial or hands or inner complications is Husam El Odeh's way of facing the reality of the modern world, where a new generation uses mobile devices to tell the time.
On the same track are spoons, modeled on Victorian breakfast spoons, recycled as pieces of jewelry.

The Philippine government's estimate for the destruction caused by Typhoon Haiyan stands at approximately 2,500 dead, although non-official estimates have placed the death toll nearer 10,000. The lack of food and clean water in the hardest-hit areas are another serious problem.
Looting was observed on the day after the typhoon hit, and although there is some truth in suspicions that this theft was due to opportunism, the need for food and water supplies was also a major factor.
Disaster victims interviewed stressed the immediacy of their need for relief. The past few days have seen the public security situation on the streets of disaster areas very much in flux, with intermittent flare-ups of gunbattles between police and civilians.
International aid continues to arrive in the Philippines; Taiwan has dispatched several C-130 Hercules tactical airlift planes and the Japan Self Defense Force has sent a 1,000-strong relief team to help in post-disaster efforts, along with Ise-class ships carrying US Air Force MV-22 Osprey helicopters to help in the relief operation.
The USS George Washington, cutting short its stay there, has led a fleet of vessels out of Hong Kong Harbor bound for the Philippines and laden with relief supplies.
The UK and Australia have also sent disaster relief.
The Philippines is an archipelagic nation. The north and the south of the country differ greatly. The north is predominantly Catholic, heavily influenced by its Spanish colonial past.
The south is predominantly Muslim, and consists of scattered islands and islets with forested areas, and uneven economic development.
For many years there has been an insurgency in the south seeking independence from the national government in Manila.
After much effort and help from Japan, in August 2011, the Moro Islamic Liberation Front laid down their arms and signed a peace agreement with Manila in Tokyo, which allowed for the establishment of a "state-within-a-state" highly autonomous zone.
However, the government is still fighting the Maoist New People's Army (NPA), the armed wing of the Communist Party of the Philippines, and the NPA has been ambushing government convoys transporting relief supplies for typhoon victims.
The ability of the Philippine government to handle the situation is a source of concern. Even disregarding the endemic corruption, it does not have sufficient resources to guarantee the safe transport of disaster relief into the hands of those who need it.
If the situation drags on, there is a danger that the frustration and desperation of the disaster victims will erupt into an uprising.
If this does happen, all political progress made after many years of hard work may well be lost, and it will be back to the drawing board.
A fragmented Philippines in the east of the South China sea will not be in the interests of its regional neighbors.
Given this, and despite the previous tensions between Taiwan and the Philippines over the fatal shooting of a Taiwanese fisherman by Philippine Coast Guard personnel, it is important that Taiwan helps the Philippines, and that the government sends emergency relief to the victims of this latest disaster, if not for humanitarian reasons, then for our mutual strategic interests.

Inside MobileMe: Web 3 and Web client-server appsMobileMe isn't just for iPhone users. It also expands upon the simple web apps delivered as part of .Mac using a cohesive Mac OS X inspired interface that behaves more like a desktop app than a web page, providing easy access to data from anywhere you have Internet access. Here's a look at how web apps have developed, how Apple's new online apps work, and the future potential of MobileMe's tightly integrated mobile, web, and desktop apps.

Inside MobileMe: Web 3 and Web Client-Server Apps (Today)
Before Web Apps: The Document Driven Web
In the era before web apps, the web was a relatively simple system of hyperlinked documents written in HTML. Click a link on a page and your browser would load a new page based on the referenced URL address. The web was brilliantly simple.
However, that simplicity resulted in a number of problems if you wanted to do more than just look at a series of hyper-connected documents. In order to exchange sophisticated transactions with a simple 'fill in the blanks on a form page and submit it,' you'd end up having to reload virtual pages repeatedly.
This is particularly problematic for something like web mail, where the user waits for updates while interactively sending new messages. Just over a decade ago, the concept of web email was entirely new. Unlike an actual desktop email application, handling email over the web meant loading a new web page, entering your email content, and reloading the page every time you wanted to see updates.
Web 2.0: the arrival of Ajax
In the mid 90s, Microsoft helped to pioneer technologies to improve upon the tedious loading of a series of web pages to do transactional web applications. The company was particularly interested in enhancing web-based email, as it was working to develop both its new mail server (Exchange) and its web browser (Internet Explorer) as critical elements of its overall Internet strategy.
The company first developed IFrames for allowing one page to be embedded in another (like picture-in-picture on TV), so the IFrame region could be independently refreshed and redrawn without reloading the entire page.
Microsoft introduced this concept to support richer functionality in Outlook Web Access, a web app it first bundled with Exchange Server 2000. It delivered Ajax functionally via an ActiveX control in IE 5; since then, the mechanism has been copied by Mozilla, Safari, Opera, and most other web browsers, making it a de facto standard for adding richer desktop-like behavior to web apps.
Web 3: HTML5 and Web Client-Server
While Ajax's frequent server updates provide richer interactivity than static web pages, they are rarely capable of being used offline and have other limitations that marginalize them in the minds of many users, who commonly view web email as being a distant runner-up to using a desktop email client. To work around these limitations, Microsoft's own OWA makes heavy use of proprietary extensions to Internet Explorer; few of these have been cloned in Firefox or Safari, nor can they really be because they are not documented standards. That leaves many OWA features tied exclusively to the IE browser; in other browsers it presents a simpler interface.
To foster real interoperability among the next generation of rich web applications, Apple, Microsoft, Mozilla, and Opera have been working on a new HTML5 standard that codifies how features should work so that all browsers can operate the same, and so web developers can make use of more sophisticated interactions on the web, knowing how their apps will behave across all browsers.
There are already web standards in place to define presentation, such as CSS; HTML5 focuses more on behavior, targeting features such as drag and drop, offline editing, local storage, and media playback. Just as Microsoft was motivated to rapidly develop Ajax in the 90s in order to enhance its email presentation on the web, Apple is leading the development of HTML5 to put its rich media client apps on the web, starting with the iLife-connected Web Gallery in .Mac, and broadening to the suite of apps in MobileMe, which will continue to develop in the coming months.
JSON Lives
Web Client-Server apps are entirely HTML pages driven by JavaScript code and presented via CSS. Rather than using the relatively heavyweight XML, they typically use JSON (JavaScript Object Notation), a lighter, simpler object representation that not only carries a data payload like XML, but is also executable by the JavaScript interpreter. This makes JSON faster in both data exchange with the server and in processing on the client side compared to XML.
With that power comes accountability. Being able to inject executable code into a system from malicious sources is a primary security problem. For that reason, web apps that transmit data using JSON have to authenticate with the server and regularly perform security handshakes to ensure that the data being sent back and forth is indeed coming from and going to a trusted source.

Duck! Martha Liao's Peking quackers a hit at APAC's 25th anniversary
Asian Performing Arts of Colorado's 25th anniversary, by the numbers:
* One hundred thirty APAC benefactors gathered at the McNichols Building on March 16 to enjoy an evening of food and music.
* The following night, the 400-seat Elaine Wolf Theater was at near-capacity for a concert featuring many of the artists that APAC has supported over the years. The concert also was the occasion for Celeste Fleming and Anna and John Sie to receive APAC's first Maestro Award for their unwavering support of the organization dedicated to fostering young talent.
* On March 18, a Peking duck dinner at the Sie residence was sold out with a waiting list.
"We did quite well," observed Denise Gliwa, who chaired the celebration weekend with Jan Steinhauser and Lily Shen. "But we never thought that a $500 ticket for Peking duck would be more of a draw than the $250 patron-ticket package!"
The ducks were prepared by APAC's founder and president, Martha Liao. Her Peking ducks are legendary; so much so that they landed her a spot on Martha Stewart's TV show in February, 2010.
Liao, who is married to Hao Jiang Tian, a 19-season veteran with New York's Metropolitan Opera, prepared 12 ducks to be part of a meal that also included salmon and kale salads, pork belly, and shrimp and vegetable dishes.

A Community Partnership SchoolTM EMERGES
Community Schools are characterized by extended services, extended hours and extended relationships that serve not only the students, their families and the teachers, but the community at large. Key program components include after-school and summer enrichment, parent involvement, adult education, financial education, a full-service health clinic with medical, dental and mental health services.
The implementation of a Community Partnership School takes a great deal of thought, planning, and commitment to achieve sustainable, long-term success. The Children's Aid Society of New York has identified four Stages of Development in a Community School: Exploring, Emerging, Maturing, and Excelling. (the University of Central Florida, College of Health and Public Affairs)
In the Fall of 2016, recognizing widespread interest among leaders across the community, Polk County Public Schools Superintendent, Jackie Byrd, requested that Polk Vision facilitate the collaborative research necessary to evaluate the potential success of transitioning an existing public school to a community school.
Polk Vision assembled an Exploring Community Schools Team and over a nine-month period, a meticulous process was followed to determine which of the 73 Polk County elementary schools had the best chance for success as a community school. The Team's work encompassed factors such as school grades, transportation numbers, free & reduced lunch rates, teacher retention rates, suspensions, expulsions, and feeder patterns as well as the locations, building capacity, sidewalks, parking, public transportation, and the potential for expansion.
During a July 2017 work session, the Team submitted its findings to the Polk County School Board and Crystal Lake Elementary was chosen by the Board as the pilot location for the first Community School in Polk County.
Following the School Board 's selection, five organizations agreed to make a significant, long-term commitment and chose to adopt the University of Central Florida Community Partnership School™ model. Formed as a Cabinet, Polk County Public Schools, Southeastern University, Central Florida Health Care, Heartland for Children and United Way of Central Florida have each made a 25-year commitment to share in the governance, development, and implementation of services at the school.
Over the past year, a top priority for Cabinet members was securing the financial support necessary to begin transforming Crystal Lake Elementary to a Community Partnership School™. While considerable investment was provided by the Cabinet, additional funding was needed to hire essential staff positions including a Director, Afterschool Coordinator, Health Programs Coordinator and Parent Coordinator.

Bayern Munich, already crowned champions, followed up their memorable midweek thrashing of Barcelona by setting a Bundesliga points record with a 1-0 win over SC Freiburg on Saturday, while Bayern's probable UEFA Champions League final opponents Borussia Dortmund beat Fortuna Duesseldorf 2-1 with the help of a stunning Nuri Sahin goal.
Werder Bremen were sucked closer to the danger zone after losing 1-0 to a controversial penalty at third-placed Bayer 04 Leverkusen, leaving them only two points clear of the relegation playoff place after Augsburg beat VfB Stuttgart 3-0.
Augsburg's win meant bottom club SpVgg Greuther Furth, making their Bundesliga debut this season, were relegated. Fuerth lost 3-2 at home to Hannover 96 on Friday.
Xherdan Shaqiri's first-half free-kick put treble-chasing Bayern on 84 points, three more than the previous record set by Dortmund last season, with three games still to play.
The Bavarians made 10 changes from the team that started last week's 4-0 Champions League semi-final first-leg win over Barcelona and clocked up their 27th victory in 31 league games, improving their goal-difference to 76.
Swiss winger Shaqiri continued his impressive debut season at Bayern by curling in a free-kick for the only goal against fifth-placed Freiburg, the surprise package of the campaign.
It was Bayern's 14th successive league win, although the single goal was something of a letdown for a team that had blasted 20 in their previous four matches in all competitions.
"What [coach] Christian Streich has achieved in Freiburg is sensational," Bayern coach Jupp Heynckes said. "A lot of things have come together there over a period of years. It was a hard job of work today, but credit to the lads. We were very smart and very professional."
Second-placed Dortmund, who thumped Real Madrid 4-1 last week, also made 10 changes and went ahead when Sahin scored with a curving, dipping left-foot shot from long range after 20 minutes.
Sahin also laid on the second goal for Jakub Blaszczykowski in the 70th minute, before Dortmund, 20 points behind Bayern, had to survive a late fightback by Fortuna, with Adam Bodzek heading home two minutes from time.
Fortuna are fourth from bottom on 30 points, ahead of Augsburg only on goal-difference.
Sascha Moelders, Marcel de Jong and South Korea's Ji Dong-won scored in the last half hour for third-bottom Augsburg.
Second-bottom TSG 1899 Hoffenheim beat Nuremberg 2-1 to stay three points behind Augsburg.
Tobias Weis and Sejad Salihovic scored in the first 19 minutes for Hoffenheim, while Timmy Simons replied with a second-half penalty.
VfL Wolfsburg defeated Borussia Moenchengladbach 3-1 after 18-year-old Maximilian Arnold opened the scoring with his third goal in five appearances.
The real surprise is the presence of four-time champions Werder Bremen, who extended their sequence without a win to 10 games, among the strugglers.
They lost in controversial circumstances when goalkeeper Sebastian Mielitz was judged to have fouled Sidney Sam in the 35th minute.
Sam was sent clean through and flicked his shot wide, but the onrushing Mielitz clattered into him after the ball had gone. The goalkeeper appeared to spread himself deliberately and raised his foot, and the referee pointed to the spot after consulting his assistant.
Stefan Kiessling, repeatedly overlooked by Germany coach Joachim Loew, despite his consistent scoring, converted the penalty for his 22nd Bundesliga goal this season, although Mielitz got a hand to it.

Two men were rescued after their single engine plane crashed near the Delaware River on Saturday.
The NC Air Traffic Control Tower at the New Castle County Airport reported Saturday, around 10:45 a.m. ET, that it lost contact with a small aircraft.
State Police reported that the plane was located in the Delaware River in a muddy and marshy area between Fort Delaware State Park and Fort Mott State Park, New Jersey. However, SkyForce10 flew over the scene of the crash and showed that the aircraft had landed in a marsh near the water rather than in it.
Officials say two "older men" were spotted in the water near the plane.
A Delaware State Police helicopter arrived at the scene and rescued the two men. According to state police, their injuries do not appear to be life-threatening.
A law enforcement source also told NBC10 that the men were covered in mud but appeared to be "okay." They walked on their own to an ambulance, according to the source.
A Pennsville Police lieutenant told NBC10 that the plane sustained some sort of power failure. The FAA is currently investigating the crash.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
The plane will be removed from the crash site by helicopter Tuesday morning and set down in the field at the entrance of Fort Mott State Park. It will then remain there until the FAA conduct an inspection.

Open winch
An open winch type lifting has the following advantages:
- Increased lifting capacity and / or higher lifting speeds and / or higher FEM working groups.
- Use of commercial motors to fit customer"s standard. Possibility to use only 1 motor instead of 2 motors, thus halving the probability of having a break-down. Possibility of engines of 1,500 and 1,000 rpm. Increased motor size.
- connections between motor and gearbox, and between gearbox and drum, are done with elastic couplings.
- True vertical lift as standard, thus avoiding lateral displacement of the hook during the lifting movement.
- Greater accessibility for maintenance of the different components.
- The brake is fully exterior, improving accessibility and regulation.
- The gearbox has a top opening lid, providing easy access for maintenance and inspection.
- Slack wire rope detector. Mechanical system to assure correct placement of wire rope in drum grooves and keeping only 1 layer.

Attraction North Stradbroke Island
Cylinder Beach is a picturesque cove between Cylinder and Home Beach Headlands. It is popular with families because it is easily accessible with a carpark situated only metres from the beach.The waves at Cylinder are often smaller and therefore it is perfect for sun bathing and swimming during good weather conditions. However during strong southerly winds there is a side sweep which may carry you parallel to the beach. Cylinder Beach is also a favourite with surfers when the conditions are right. Lifeguards and lifesavers patrol this beach.

If it's strange career trajectories you're after, do take a look at that of Juana Molina's: en route to the exquisite musical tapestries she currently trades in, Argentinean comedy series and a successful sketch show were both traversed (indeed, it's for the latter of which she purportedly remains better known in Latin America). It's almost…almost like one half of a famously well-spoken UK comedy duo coming into his own as the acerbic lead of a ridiculously good US medical drama. Minus, you know, the completely different art form and that. But, really, enough with the increasingly irrelevant preamble; what we're concerned with here is Un Dia ('One Day'), Molina's fifth album, which – while throwing no curveballs and sticking more-or-less to the template she's been refining the past 12 years – remains a generous, thoughtful and adventurous listen.
Commencing with the title track, Molina's vocal leaps nimbly among a looped, skittering bassline, computerised whistles and skronky, propulsive sax. As an opening gambit, it's as knowingly rich as anything found on 2006's superb Son album and joyfully effervescent with it. Molina has the uncanny knack to entice and hypnotise with her musical collages (particularly in a live setting, where she's something of a revelation: KT Tunstall cranking out 'Black Horse And The Cherry Tree' this is not, as loop pedals and all manner of instruments entrance to dazzling effect, six nylon strings steadfastly the centre of her expansive musical world), and on Un Dia she seems more comfortable with her gift than ever.
Highlights are rife; not least the aforementioned opener and flirtation with discord that wonderfully informs the ever-so-slightly jarring backdrop of 'Lo Dejamos', set alongside a mounting percussive drive and the sort of understated lead vocal Molina can seemingly pull off in her sleep. The textural bliss of penultimate number 'No Llama' too – where coalescing picked guitars freewheel over an ever-stronger melange of vocals, percussion and aural loveliness seeing the use of almost every brush in her crowded sonic palette. Elsewhere, occasional lapses into ambient noodling are more than made up for by the heady repetitive stride of cuts like 'Los Hongos De Marosa', and '¿Quien? (Suite)'.
Worth pointing out, perhaps: this isn't an album that will appeal to everybody. Furthermore, its appeal to even the exact same individual may vary immensely regards a few external factors. Listened to absentmindedly, its deep, rumbling groove and overlapping rhythmic lines may initially seem nothing more than an artfully assembled soporific swirl. Live with it a while, though – give it time and space in order that it may weave its beguiling spell – and delights aplenty unfurl.

(CMT Offstage keeps a 24/7 watch on everything that's happening with country music artists behind the scenes and out of the spotlight.)
When Keith Urban asked his fans and followers to fill in the blank on Monday (May 13) night, he really kind of opened up Pandora's box. I mean, you could fill that blank up with all kinds of things. "I don't need a whole lot of anything, I just want a _______," Urban tweeted. Fans responded with everything from a ticket to the American Idol finale, pizza and a Twitter follow. Oh, and a Chicago tour stop. (That one was mine.) What Urban probably wanted to hear the most was the one several people did tweet back to him — a little bit of everything. When people echo back the lyrics to the song he just released hours before, "Little Bit of Everything," that's got to sound pretty good. The song paints a picture of a man who isn't asking for a lot, just a little. Like, he doesn't want a garage full of cars, but he will take a whole box of Cuban cigars. It's a nice sentiment, and one that seems to suit Urban very well.

Vintage: 2011
Style: American Style Double India Pale Ale
Barrel: N/A
Hops: N/A
Malt: Organic Pilsner, Rye
Commercial Description:
Blue Dot is named after our planet: we are only a pale blue dot in this universe. A Double India Pale Ale made with Organic Pilsner, Rye malt and a combination of intense northwest hop varieties.
Beer Advocate: A- (4.12)
Rate Beer: 99 (3.81)
Timperial's Notes:
Alan Sprints of HoD is a chef. It's not uncommon to see him in the kitchen when you visit their new (and amazing) tasting room. He is also a master brewer – one of the best on this great blue dot we call Earth if you ask me. When he creates a recipe, be it for a hearty meal or a complex brew, he puts years of experience and know-how (and heart) into it. In the mighty Northwest, nothing moves us quite like an IPA. Alan isn't particularly known for profundity in alpha usage, but he is a legend with malt. Let's see what balance he can bring to the most hoppy of styles.
Blue Dot flows from its glass chamber and fills my tulip with a muddy straw-colored liquid. When held to the light it glows a cloudy, translucent pale orange. If I didn't know better I'd think this a Belgian Wit before me.
The head is very minimal and stark white. Carbonation bubbles can be seen rising but, overall, the effervescence is minimal. The crown completely dissipates and the lacing is very minimal.
My initial reflections on the scent are of an Earthiness and a graininess. I sometimes think that I'm hyper-sensitive to pilsner malt. It's always obvious to me when it is used. There is a slight spiciness in the nose but I wouldn't have assumed that it came from rye had I not known it was a part of the grain bill.
A second waft brings thoughts of a tropical forest. Bitter citrus and pineapple are most prevalent, but a sappy, resinous, pine-like greenness cannot be overlooked. It's somewhat floral as well. "Orange blossoms" seems to be most appropriate, killing two birds with one stone.
Blue Dot slips gracefully across my tongue and goes down silky smooth. The carbonation, though pretty minimal here, plays in tune with the alcohol to bring a mild sting to the tongue and rear corners of the mouth. The bitterness is so intense that it's almost corrosive, which is more impressive than detrimental.
Maybe it's the spicy rye. Who knows what it is exactly, but it really stings, though mostly after the swallow. Still, I kind of like it. It's similar to the effect that ginger has on the mouth, which I love.
First and foremost, this beer is a bitter bomb. At 7% abv and with such subtle grains employed, the 80 IBUs are mightily magnified. Once you're able to reanimate your imploded face, the strongest palates amongst us may be able to detect the citrus and graininess that was prefaced in the nose.
Grapefruit juice and bitter orange peel are all over this one. What mild pilsen character climbs through can claim a doughy, biscuity essence. The rye is somewhat challenging to segregate due to the huge hop profile. One must ask whom imparts the huge spice element. I guess it's huge enough to award to both parties.
[I feel I must offer a disproportionately high mark for the malt flavor, mostly due to its uniqueness. Is this beer balanced in the traditional way? Hell no! But…how could I not respect innovation and against-the-grain…ed…ness… Puntastic!]
The aftertaste is very dry with bitterness but by no means one-dimensional. An exhale stirs up pleasant thoughts of freshly baked rolls. A peppery heat can most likely be attributed to the rye malt and the alcohol. Spicy hop bitterness only further asserts the notion.
It's quite clear that this brew was formulated deliberately to excite the spiciest amongst us. If I were in the business of pairing beer with food I would never miss an opportunity to place this beside a warm plate of spicy something-or-other with peppercorns. Sorry, I'm no chef.
I think Frank Herbert would be proud of what Alan has created with Blue Dot. In his utterly epic sci-fi series Dune, lives, cultures, planets…everything revolves (figuratively) around "the spice". The Spice Melange. It's oddly ironic that this beer is named after the planet Earth when such a comparison about a fictional work steeped in interstellar politics can be made. Perhaps this would be the defining beverage of choice on the desert planet Arrakis, of course, where it not so (seemingly…?) bereft of water.
As you see, my nerdiness is vast and covers many more planes than just craft beer. I'll attempt to stick with just the one in this particular forum. The point to it all is that this beer is spicy as shit. The malts and hops coincide to form a perfect storm and it all whips around so fast that it's nearly impossible to distinguish the origins on what the tongue perceives. It's sci-fi beer and it's delicious.

Waay off topic
Waay off topic...
I'm wondering just who is on the US House of Representatives Energy &
Commerce Committee. News reports mention only two: Rep. John Dingell
(D-Mich) and Rep. Greg Walden (R-Ore). The news articles I've read would
seem to indicate that our lawmakers find the situation at Hewlett-Packard as
deplorable as Watergate. You remember Watergate - if you're old enough,
that is - as a series of illegal acts involving domestic spying, breaking
and entering, lying under oath, and obstructing Congress. If H-P is
engaging in "arrogance, cover-up, and gross stupidity" and this is as
morally reprehensible as the Watergate scandal, how is it possible that our
present White House administration is any less reprehensible? If spying on
your employees and colleagues is repugnant, then spying on the American
people is no less repugnant.
So, who's on that committee, and how did they vote on our (acting)
president's policies? How do those votes compare to committee statements
regarding H-P?
Integrity means that an individual applies the same standards in differing
situations. If an act is morally unacceptable in one circumstance, it's not
acceptable in another and clearly doesn't depend on one's party affiliation.

Field Guide: The old Blaisdell Hotel
This former hotel is bustling with activity from old and new businesses alike.
(page 1 of 2)
Wai Ho Jewelry
With 28 years of experience, Amy Chung and her husband have built a reputation with their downtown customer base. "People make special trips to come here," says Chung. The small shop specializes in diamond engagement rings, jade and other fine jewelry, including repairs and custom pieces. "We get a lot of young guys coming in," she says. She works with couples' budgets and personal tastes. "I get to work with many of them through their family cycle; it's very rewarding." 1160 Fort Street Mall, 538-6612.

The old Blaisdell hotel Elevator
Upon walking into the old hotel, you immediately encounter Javier Fombellida, who has been running the state's last manually operated elevator for seven years. "I get to meet so many interesting people," says Fombellida, who says he's made up to 200 trips in the elevator in one day. Fombellida has a knack for knowing what businesses first-timers are going to see, whether it's the barber or the psychiatrist. "People really open up to me," he says. He even decorates for holidays, with a mini Christmas tree and lights, or scares people with a fake, furry rat for Halloween.

Fritz Andre
Fritz Andre has been cutting hair since he was 14. Now 78 years old, this old-time barber, trained in Germany, has been cutting in the old Blaisdell Hotel since 1971. He's had the same clients for even longer. The day we visited, Andre was cutting the hair of Elliot Loden, a local attorney who's been coming to Andre for decades. "He's the best barber for downtown execs," says Loden. Andre also witnessed the hotel's transitions over the years, from fancy hotel to HPU-student hangout, to small businesses. If you happen to come in while Andre is cutting another customer's hair, you can peruse a stack of Playboys and Hustlers. You won't find that at Supercuts. 1154 Fort Street Mall, Suite 306, 255-3397.
