5 Simple Ways to Cut Calories
Calories can be sneaky, finding their way into your diet when you aren't looking. Too many of them make it hard to maintain a healthy weight. Try these 5 simple things to save calories throughout the day -- we promise you won't miss them.
It's really easy to misjudge how much oil you use when cooking. When every tablespoon has 120 calories (and 14 grams of fat), you can unknowingly rack up some serious calories by adding an extra splash here and there. Keep a measuring spoon handy – a teaspoon or two is really all you need.
Trade large slices of bread and gigantic wraps for English muffins, rolls and flatbreads to save hundreds of calories at each meal. Always choose whole grain versions for more hunger fighting fiber.
Whether it's a slice of cheesy pizza or homemade fish tacos, use a paper towel to absorb excess oil. It's not easy to quantify exactly how many calories you are sucking away, but every little bit helps.
Healthy guidelines for alcohol consumption are based on specific portions: 5 fluid ounces of wine, 12 fluid ounces of beer or 1 shot (1½ fluid ounces) of hard alcohol. Each drink averages 120 calories - pay attention to how you pour and save big calories this holiday season.
Whipped butter and whipped cream cheese have 50 percent fewer calories than the original versions but with all the creamy goodness. Make the switch and you'll save 50 calories per tablespoon.

Here's Your Jetpack
Jetpacks have long been a staple of American futurism: we believe that soon, just down the line a bit, we'll be able to strap on a jet-powered backpack and fly to work. But, decade after decade, no jetpacks. At least not at my house. The "Where's My Jetpack?" notion is such a mainstay of futurist thinking that it's the title of a book. But despite not having your own jetpack, various prototypes have been built and actually worked. Let's have a look at the best-known jetpack, which was actually called a "rocket belt."
The Bell Aerosystems Rocket Belt
Bell Aerosystems developed the Rocket Belt under contract with the US Army. Its flying time was extremely limited (about 20 seconds), but it actually worked -- tests were carried out throughout the 1960s, as well as flights at the 1984 and 1996 Summer Olympics. In the demo video below (circa 1966), test pilot Bill Suitor demonstrates the pack, explaining that a timer buzzes against his skull as he flies -- if he runs out of jet fuel, he crashes to the ground. (Incidentally, apparently this happened to inventor Wendell Moore in an early test flight, causing Moore to break a kneecap and stop flying. The early test flights used a ground tether to prevent enthusiastic novice pilots from shooting up too high to safely descend within the 20-second-ish window.) When asked about parachutes and other methods of descent in this video, Suitor chuckles and says, "We rely on gravity." He has a point -- he's not flying high enough for a parachute to help. BEHOLD:
Suitor flew 1,200 times using this device, and wrote a book about being a jetpack pilot, called The Rocketbelt Pilot's Manual. He appeared in a laundry list of TV shows and movies piloting the pack, including: The A-Team, The Fall Guy, Gilligan's Island, Lost in Space, Newhart (!), The Six Million Dollar Man, and the Bond movie Thunderball.
And here's some footage (no sound) of two Bell Rocket Belts flying simultaneously (note the 16mm movie camera mounted on one pilot's helmet). Because of the time limitations, this one-minute movie must have entailed multiple refueling sessions.
And here's Suitor flying at Disneyland in 1965:
(The title of this video says the event took place in 1966, but helpful commenters helped determine that it was probably taken in late December, 1965.)
And a seven-minute History Channel clip about the Rocket Belt:
You can also watch a ten-minute silent film featuring various clips of test flights in the 1960s.
Although the Bell Rocket Belt is the best-known working jetpack, there have been others. NASA uses a jetpack on its EVAs so astronauts can maneuver and return to the spacecraft (plus, there were early plans for a Bell product to go to the Moon on the Apollo missions, notably a two-man variant called the Bell POGO), and various private companies have worked on the technology -- Wikipedia's jetpack page has a good roundup. Also relevant is a MythBusters episode in which the guys attempt to build a jetpack.
So, to answer the "Where's my jetpack?" question: it has been around in various forms since the 1960s, but it's dangerous, requires extensive training to operate, and has run times measured in seconds. But, hey, it exists.
The Jetpack Murder
There's a curious 1990s coda to the jetpack saga involving an "RB-2000" jetpack and an unsolved murder. You can read all about it from Atlas Obscura. Here's a tidbit:
By the time the RB-2000 was flying over the Houston Ship Channel, the company was already in ruins. Barker and Stanley were at each others throats, while the third partner Joe Wright had a failing car stereo business and a escalating crystal meth addiction. Even before the inaugural flight of the belt, Barker and Stanley had had a terrible falling out. Stanley believed Barker was stealing money from the company and when he confronted Barker, they fought violently. From a 2002 Sunday Herald article: "Stanley got in my face," Barker recalls. "I grabbed a five-pound, dead-blow, lead-filled hammer off the table. I hit Stanley short blows twice to the back of the head. That pretty much ended the partnership."
Read the rest. It's worth it. The book Jetpack Dreams also covers this topic in depth.

D-backs shut down by Lincecum, Giants in 1-0 loss
PHOENIX (AP) -- At hitter-friendly Chase Field, 1-0 games are fairly rare. Losing one was tough to swallow for Randall Delgado and the Diamondbacks.
Tim Lincecum pitched six spotless innings and third baseman Pablo Sandoval made a diving play to save the Giants, who pushed across a run in the first and made it stand up Friday night.
Angel Pagan doubled and scored in his first game back from a long stint on the disabled list. Three relievers closed it out for the Giants, who handed Delgado a hard-luck loss and won for the 10th time in their last 12 games at Chase Field.
"He threw like Randall can throw. Great control, had them off-balance, and his location was pretty (darn) good," manager Kirk Gibson said. "He certainly pitched good enough to win. You've got to win them."
The Diamondbacks dropped to 1-2 in 1-0 games at home this season.
Arizona had an excellent chance against Lincecum in the sixth. The Diamondbacks loaded the bases, and A.J. Pollock hit a sharp grounder past third that appeared headed for the left-field corner. Sandoval had it played just right, though. He backhanded the ball as he hit the ground, got to his feet and threw to first for the third out.
"Panda made a good play on Pollock," Gibson said. "If you want to win those games, you have to have better at-bats. That's all there is to it."
Lincecum (8-13) allowed six hits and two walks while striking out two.
Javier Lopez pitched the seventh, Santiago Casilla worked the eighth and Sergio Romo got three outs for his 33rd save.
Romo has a 20-inning scoreless streak at Chase Field, and his 23 consecutive scoreless appearances there mark the longest such streak for any visiting pitcher at any ballpark dating to 1921, according to STATS.
Delgado (4-5) gave up only three hits over seven innings.
"I was pounding the zone," he said. "I had some bad pitches in the first inning. They got the run in the first inning. I couldn't control that. But I felt good."
Unable to give Delgado any offensive support, the second-place Diamondbacks fell 10 games behind the Dodgers in the NL West and six games behind the Reds for the second NL wild-card spot.
"I was thinking going deep into the game. After that there are some things you can't control," Delgado said.
Pagan, who scored on Brandon Belt's sacrifice fly, was reinstated from the 60-day DL before the game after missing 82 games with a left hamstring injury.
"All that work we put in, all these weeks, it paid off," Pagan said. "I've been waiting for this moment for so long. I'm so happy to be back with the guys and help them any way I can."
NOTES: Three days after designating OF Jason Kubel for assignment, the Diamondbacks traded him to the Indians for a player to be named or cash. ... The D-backs will hold their second annual alumni game following Saturday night's game against the Giants. Players returning include Luis Gonzalez, Erubiel Durazo, Reggie Sanders, Mark Grace, Greg Swindell and Brandon Webb. ... To make room for Pagan, the Giants optioned OF Francisco Peguero to Triple-A Fresno and transferred OF Andres Torres from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day DL. ... Play was held up briefly so groundskeepers could work on the mound before Lincecum delivered a pitch in the sixth.

|Door gift
- As mentioned in a previous post, I went on the 2 final days from morning til late afternoon :)
- Attended 2 fashion shows:
- Fashion Trends for 2014 for Vogue, McCall's, Butterick and Kwik Sew (Pati Palmer, Marta Alto & Nancy Seifert)
- Distinctive Styles and Delightful Details (Louise Cutting and Linda Lee)
- Attended a few one needle ($5) classes (45 mins of lecture/demo seminars):
- Interfacing for Fashion Sewing (Connie Crawford of Fashion Patterns by Coni),
- Fitting Sleeves & Armholes (Connie Crawford),
- Sloper Savvy (Lorraine Henry of the Two Easy Tape Co),
- Couture Finishing Techniques (Lorene Bonewitz of Sew It Up)
- Industry Insider (Louise Cutting of Cutting Line Designs)
- Make It, Sell It, Profit! (Connie Spurlock of Sew Wonderful Dreams)
- I enjoyed all my classes, and visited the booths of Connie Crawford's, Lorraine Henry's and Lorene Bonewitz's. I also stopped by Cutting Line Designs' booth, and got the Balboa Shirt and Topper pattern that I liked from the earlier fashion show:
- Had Lorraine Henry show me how to use her two easy tape! :) Thanks Lorraine!
- Bought Connie Crawford's Patternmaking Made Easy book, had a fitting session with Connie herself!!! and got 2 of her patterns in the sizes she recommended for me (with her notes on additions/altering for moi on the woven top!!!). This weekend I made 2 knit tops/tunic based on the CS1207 knit sloper all on the serger. Regular readers of this blog will know that a sewing project usually took me a week to more, so 2 tops in a weekend is definitely highly productive. 2 tops that are in my eyes perfect for me? Out of this world awesome! Pics of them in future blog posts.
- Due to a car tire situation on Saturday morning (1st day i went), I missed THE fashion show I wanted to attend most: Vogue and Butterick's Creative Closet with Marcy and Katherine Tilton. So, I visited Marcy Tilton's booth on both days and ogled at everybody's outfit there ;) (Marcy posted pics of what they wear at the expo on her website.
|Top is a knit, Bottom left is Japanese cotton and right is linen
- I actually went around solo this year without a sewing buddy, but there were so many people I met and talked to...
- Met/saw some ladies from my sewing meetup circle. One + daughter I sat with at the fashion show like last year :) She's so kind and gave me a copy of my first Burda magazine (with patterns!) Shout out to Sherry: If you read this, ola!
- Another sewing meetup lady I got to say hi to and attended a couple of classes with, while some I just saw from afar :)
- Also chatted to a few (while lining up to enter fashion show, during solo lunch, at the booths) of ladies who've traveled far to attend (North Carolina, New Mexico, Canada) and also ladies who've been going to this Expo the past 20 years (one every year without fail with her sewing circle from out of state, and a local lady who missed one year (out of 20) but can't recall at that time why that was so. Also kept bumping into this kind lady from Bellevue, WA on both days but we didn't exchange information (I'm too shy to pass my business cards out! LOL. I only gave one the whole 2 days and to my sewing meetup leader who already knew me but don't have my number). I hope I'll bump into her again next year!
- Met with a couple sewing bloggers based in Seattle: Amy (plus baby girl & husband) of Sew Well (whose blog I've followed since before her move to the city) and Leah of Away I Sew! (whom I just met through Amy's Sewing in Seattle list) and together we went to visit the American Sewing Guild booth (before I said goodbye and left the SewExpo :) ).
- Prior in the day I bumped into them outside a class we all took but I had to rush to my fitting appointment with Connie. Then later I saw Leah at Lorraine Henry's booth (which I was so glad for and we agreed to meet back at Vogue Fabrics' booths after the class she's taking along with Amy. Leah was also responsible for sending me to visit The Wool House and a Washington-based fabric store that I can't recall the name of at this early morning hours but apparently carry great fabrics... :)
|A knit that might become leggings, once i figure out leggings! How difficult is it? I botched my first leggings in December and it was too baggy throughout....
- over the 2 days, I also got me some supplies:
From Sew It Up booth (buy 3 free 1 end of expo deal, score!)
- And my favorite booth must be the Vogue Fabrics booth (just as it was last year). I stopped by and touched and check out the fabrics so many times both Saturday and Sunday :)
|L-R: Rayon challis, cotton print, heavyweight cotton/linen blend, silk/linen blend, silk charmeuse and a fancy knit
- There's no doubt that I had a superb me time
- I will now restart my sewing from the stash only effort which saw a glitch since Black Friday fabric sales...
- I only really visited apparel sewing related booths and maybe stopped by a couple of quilting/crafting booths. I did attend one class related to my now sewing (crafts only) for selling venture though.
- I didn't see anything that I would rather purchase for my business/craft sewing than the ones I got for my own selfish garment sewing... ;)
- I felt like I needed a deep tissue massage (still does), but I'm too broke for that now...
- I'm wondering if I should "get my colors" done. Or just get a book on it.
- Lastly, I must thank my husband and the lil Bean for driving a total of 8 hours that weekend just so I can indulge on my passion, and for not commenting on the loot of sewing stuff I lugged back and litter in our tiny abode ;)

It used to be that if you had a hit movie, a hit toy line would follow, but now it is the exception rather than the rule. While the movie has done great, the toys are so-so, with only a few being a hit with collectors.
Mattel had a cool avatar display at the Collectors event, but some of it was in quite a state of disrepair.

Naughty Naughty!
People keep telling me to review movies but I know I do not have what it takes to do that. However, once in a while, I have an opinion and I voice it (sometimes I voice it a lot if alcohol is involved..hehe.. ). Having said that, I watched "Cash" over the weekend because I was intrigued by how "Cool" it might be. After all, the last movie Anubhav Sinha had produced was "Dus". It was almost a first of its kind in hindi cinema with stylized action and over the top stunts. Now, I am not going to comment on the movie, there are very many different websites that will answer that question, but I did love the song "Naughty Naughty" that plays during the credits at the end of the movie.
The whole song has been shot entirely in one take! Now that in itself is enough to make a song pretty cool but the list doesnt end there. The set design is very eclectic with walls covered in maps, pictures, chinese writings and lots and lots of funky graphics.
Dia with the "puss in boots" style shoes looks pretty fabulous but not as "out there" like Esha and Shamita. Esha and Shamita are both way over the top, but somehow it works for Shamita but not quite for Esha.
Esha has these exxxxtra long pony tails which quirky as they are, somehow don't really do her justice. On the other hand, Shamita Shetty's puffed hair and high waist pants are just too hilarious! The men in the video in contrast, do not provide much of a shock value in terms of clothes but they do ooze a lot of style. Ritesh is climbing the charts of hot film stars with his subtle, restrained sex appeal.
Combine all of the above with the famous latak jhatak Indian moves and lo and behold, you have an awesome video!
Watch the song…
P.S Did you know the last song that was picturised in one take was "Roop Tera Mastana" ?

A senior Boeing Co. executive will meet with the head of the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration on Friday and present a series of measures aimed at preventing battery failures that grounded its 787 Dreamliner fleet for five weeks, according to a source familiar with the plans.
Ray Conner, who heads Boeing's commercial airplanes unit, will explain the proposed changes to FAA Administrator Michael Huerta on Friday, but the plans have already been vetted with lower level U.S. government officials, the source said.
If Huerta and U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood accept the proposed plan, that could lay the groundwork for resuming flights of the Boeing 787 by April, said the source, who asked not to be identified.
The engineering changes that Boeing has proposed include an improved box to contain any possible fire in the airliner's lithium-ion batteries. They are aimed at addressing four possible causes for the battery failures that resulted in a fire in a parked 787 in Boston on Jan. 7, and a separate incident that forced a second 787 to make an emergency landing in Japan.
The grounding of all 50 Dreamliners that have already been delivered is costing Boeing and the airlines that operate the world's newest airliner dearly, compounding pressures caused by earlier delays in 787 deliveries.
United Continental Holdings said it was taking the Boeing 787 out of its flying plans through June 5, except for the Denver to Tokyo Narita route scheduled for a tentative launch on May 12.
On Wednesday, the chief executive of Australia's Qantas Airlines Ltd. said it had received $125 million in compensation income from Boeing for 787 delivery delays. United announced that
Analysts estimate the world's largest planemaker is missing out on about $200 million in delivery payments every month that the 787 remains grounded, while spending as much as $1 billion a month to keep its 787 production line running.
A second source familiar with Boeing's plans told Reuters that the company also planned to increase the space between the cells in the lithium-ion batteries made by Japan's GS Yuasa as a potential fix.
"The gaps between cells will be bigger. I think that's why there was overheating," said the source, who declined to be identified because the plans are private.
A spokeswoman for the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board declined comment on the potential battery fix or any Boeing plan to return the 787s to the air.
"The decisions to return the airplane to flight will be made by the FAA and only after Boeing has demonstrated to them that the solution is adequate," Kelly Nantel said. "We continue to investigate the cause of the short circuiting."
An FAA spokeswoman declined to comment on the reported meeting. Boeing declined comment on details of any battery fix it may be considering.
The logical solution for Boeing would be to install ceramic plates between each cell and add a vent to the battery box, Kiyoshi Kanamura, a professor at Tokyo Metropolitan University who has conducted research with several Japanese battery makers, told Reuters on Tuesday.
Earlier on Wednesday, the chairman of state-run Air India said Boeing is hopeful of getting the Dreamliner back in service by early April.
"They said that these planes should start flying again from early April. They can't be sure but they are hopeful," Rohit Nandan said.
Air India has six Dreamliners and has ordered 21 more. The question of the airline seeking compensation from Boeing for the jet's glitches would be taken up once the aircraft are flying again, Nandan said.
"We have been in close communication with our customers since this issue arose," a Boeing spokesman in Seattle said, regarding the issue of compensation. "The details of our conversations with customers are confidential."
The Boeing spokesman declined to address the details of the battery fix, but said it was making progress.
"Boeing has teams of hundreds of engineering and technical experts who are working around the clock with the sole focus of resolving the issue and returning the 787 fleet to flight status," he said. "Everyone is working to get to the answer as quickly as possible and good progress is being made."
On February 7, in its most recent official update on the Dreamliner, the NTSB said it had a "long road ahead" in its investigation of the lithium ion batteries.
Spokesmen for Japan's All Nippon Airways Co Ltd (ANA), which has the biggest fleet of Dreamliners, and Japan Airlines Co Ltd (JAL) said they were unaware of the suggested April schedule.
ANA and JAL have been most affected because they own around half of the lightweight, fuel-efficient jetliners in operation as a strategic move to win market share from their U.S. and European rivals.
Information from NBC News was included in this report.

There's a lot that goes into making a quality leather watch band. For such a simple product, there's a surprising number of details that have to be done right. As with many other hand crafted, artisan products, the cost of labor has dictated that modern manufacturing be outsourced to China, resulting in ubiquitous, cheap watch straps that flood the internet, our malls, and even many of the fine jewelers in this country. Sadly, the quality just isn't what it once was.
I was fortunate enough to buy out the remaining stock from a watchmaker who retired after many years in the trade. These watch bands and straps are (NOS) new, old stock, and were made back when you could trust that you were buying a quality product. These were stored carefully and are in new or like new, unworn condition. The leather is supple and they're the perfect compliment to your fine time piece. I'm able to offer these at a fraction of the cost of an equivalent Swiss, French, or Italian watch band of contemporary production. Problem is: when they're gone, they're gone. There's no reordering. So don't delay, pick up a replacement watch band today, and consider buying a couple extra for your own supply before they run out.
Here are the details for this strap:
- 19mm flat, matte finish brown calfskin. The buckle end is 7.2cm long (8.5 counting the buckle), and tapers down to 1.4 cm (14 mm) at the buckle. If you plan to use a replacement buckle, it will fit standard 16mm buckles (measure yours to double check!) The long end is 11 cm long and tapers down to 9.25cm at the end. This is a standard or regular sized watch band (as opposed to the long or short lengths).
- 100% quality, genuine calf leather. The leather quality is comparable to what many contemporary manufacturer's refer to as "coach" grade leather.
- Edge turned construction. One of the subtle details that sets a nice watch band apart, edge turned construction refers to the treatment of the edges of the band. On the highest quality bands, you'll notice that the high quality upper is cut extra wide so that it can be turned down over the sides to cover the base leather below. This adds an elegant touch.
- 2 keepers: 1 fixed and 1 floating
- Gold tone buckle with spring bar retainer. This means it can be easily swapped out for a different color or style buckle. If you have the special Patek Philippe, Rolex, Omega, Breitling, or other manufacturer buckle of the same width, it's easy to install on this band using a spring bar tool.
- Vintage quality!
I am happy to include a free pair of spring bars by request. If you would like me to include the spring bars, please send me a message/email, or include your request in the comment section at check out.
I highly recommend purchasing a spring bar tool from me or anther vendor; they are quite reasonably priced. These help with removing your old band and installing the new band. Having the proper tools makes the job much easier and can help prevent scratching your fine watch during band changes. If you purchase the spring bar tool and the watch band together, I'm happy to waive the extra shipping charge to save you some money.
*Pictured on one of my vintage watches is a similar strap for illustration purposes only (the style is the same, but the exact size and color may be different). Watch is not included.

Course Description
CS/EE/ME 75 presents the fundamentals of modern multi-disciplinary systems engineering in the context of a substantial design project. Students from a variety of disciplines will conceive, design, implement, and operate a system involving electrical, information, and mechanical engineering components. Specific tools will be provided for setting project goals and objectives, managing interfaces between component subsystems, working in design teams, and tracking progress against tasks. Students will be expected to apply knowledge from other courses at Caltech in designing and implementing specific subsystems. During the first two terms of the course, students will attend project meetings and learn some basic tools for project design, while taking courses in CS, EE, and ME that are related to the course project. During the third term, the entire team will build, document, and demonstrate the course design project, which will differ from year to year.
The third term of the course may be used to satisfy specific graduation requirements in the CS, EE, and ME options and may be taken for up to 18 units of total credit, with permission of the instructors. Freshman must receive permission from the instructor to enroll.
Course structure
CS/EE/ME 75 is designed to be integrated with the curriculum in the individual engineering disciplines. This is accomplished by linking the activities in the first two terms with regular classes in CS, EE and ME. These courses are used to design subsystems for the overall project, with the system integration occuring in the third term and the final implementation and operation occuring over the summer.
Fall Courses
Winter Courses
In the first two terms, the course grade will be equally weighted between course homework sets (one each for the first three weeks), course participation in project and team meetings, and the final project presentation. For the third term, the course grade will be based on the following factors:
- Homework (20%): Homework sets will be handed out weekly for the first five weeks of the class. Most sets will consist of some work that is done by the student's team, as well as a (short) individual portion
- Team project reviews (20%): Each team will be required to present a review to an outside review team the end of the term. Each student on the team should give a portion of at least one of the presentations.
- Project documentation (40%): All work performed as part of the class should be documented in an appropriate format (to be decided by the teams). Each individual will turn in the documentation for the items they are responsible by the end of the term.
- Participation (20%): Students are expected to attend project and team meetings and to participate in a constructive manner toward the over goals of the team. Team coordinators and instructors will provide assessments for each student based on the level and quality of participation in project activities.

5 Ultimate Ways to Supercharge Your Meals
One of the trends (and there are many!) that I've noticed over the past few years is that the time poor, in particular, are the ones who struggle the most with finding their version of healthy. I know it's become a cliché, but life really does get in the way sometimes, which is why I like to try to pack as much nutrition into my meals and snacks as possible. So, even on a busy day, at least I've been able to fuel my body with some wholesome goodness.
Let your meals do the hard work for you by supercharging them with nourishing ingredients. You can take a simple bowl of porridge more nutritious by adding in some super nourishing ingredients that are great for your body.
Transforming how you create your meals can really give your body a healthy boost without you even trying. It really can be as simple as sprinkling some seeds on top of your stir-fry.
Here are 5 ultimate ways you can supercharge your meals to scale up the nutrition without exerting any extra energy:
1. Mix 2 Grains Together
Why just serve plain rice with your curry? Why not give the rice a healthier kick and getting the best of both worlds by mixing through some quinoa for some added nutrition and wholesome goodness.
2. Sprinkle Seeds Onto Your Meals
Seeds are a powerhouse of nutrition and can not only add flavour and texture to a dish, but also their added health benefits. Next time you make a stir-fry, smoothie or your avocado on toast, sprinkle on some pumpkin seeds
3. Make the Most of Pulses and Beans
So underrated, but pulses and beans are great for your health and a perfect plant-based protein source. Add them to a curry, salads, stews and soups – there is just so much that you can do with them. Why not swap your usual croutons on your soup for some roasted chickpeas to give it an easy protein boost.
4. Add Extra Vegetables to Your Cooking
Bulking out your meals with extra vegetables not only makes them go further, which is great from a budget aspect, but it's also a wonderful way to inject some extra vitamins and minerals into your everyday.
5. Make Friends With Nut Butters
Nut butters are very popular these days and there is a lot of choice out there other than the humble peanut butter. They're a fantastic source of healthy fats, which help to keep you fuller for longer. Almond butter on wholemeal toast is a tasty on the go breakfast and you even make some healthy treats with them too.

What patients are saying...
Dr. Cohen is amazing and made my experience a breeze. He put my mind at ease and made me comfortable from start to finish. He has done two root canals on me so far and God forbid I ever need another one, he will be first on my speed dial. Thank you Dr. Cohen for being the BEST "tooth saver" EVER! Thanks, Angie Thomas
- Angie Thomas
Amazing team. The entire procedure was unlike anything I had expected. Dr. Cohen is very good at what he does and his team did everything possible to put me at ease. I wouldn't go anywhere else.
- Samantha Brill
Best dentist I ever had. Saved my tooth and saved me pain. I was very impressed with his bedside manner and would recommend to anyone.
- aydrea
Dr. Cohen and his staff were fantastic. This was my first ever procedure, and they were very comforting and professional. While I hope to not need their services again, I will highly recommend them to others
- Will Freeland
Dr. Cohen is indeed the "Tooth Saver." My dentist was talking about an implant or another bridge if the tooth could not be saved. I was very worried...no need! The procedure was totally painless and amazingly quick. I lived to tell the tale! (in case you have not seen Dr. Cohen's creative and lighthearted commercial) Thanks, Dr. Cohen and staff. I really appreciate the positive atmosphere, too. Very important to me.
- Deb Basha
Dr. Cohen did an exceptional job with my root canal, i did not feel one tinge of pain during the whole procedure. During my last root canal with Dr. Kotz I felt a moderate level of pain even with the nitrous and injections. I would reccomend Dr. Cohen to my friends and family his skills are phenomenal , and he is very nice and professional.
- Amberly Robinson
Great experience! Would highly recommend Dr Cohen & staff to all who need his care. Thanks!
- Mike
Dr. Cohen is supurb and definitely in the elite who practice. I phoned his office number on Monday morning at 7:45 and he took me in before noon without hesitation to assess my problem. This is extraordinary practice. Can't say enough about this practice!
- Pamela B.
Dr. Cohen just completed a re-do for an old root canal and his work was exceptional! His patience, tenacity, professionalism and sensitivity is to be commended! Absolutely painless!!!!!!!! Thank you, Dr. Fischer 843-813-3223 (Permission for any patient to call)
- Dr. Barry Fischer
The staff and Dr Cohen were extremely professional and courteous. They made an uncomfortable experience that I've been putting off and was nervous about, seem easy. I will definitely recommend his practice to anyone in need of his services.
- Vicki Golding
No one wants a root canal but if you need one I can't think of a better place to get the Best care and service! Once the procedure was done I had no pain and everyone was very nice and knowledgeable. I highly recommend Dr. Cohen
- Robin feerst
I had to get my first root canal (on my birthday!), and was somewhat apprehensive about what to expect. Dr. Cohen and his staff made the experience quick and painless, and thoroughly explained everything and answered any questions I had. The whole process took no more than 30 minutes, and was absolutely painless. My tooth feels so much better. Thank y'all!
- Anna
Spoke to your receptionist yesterday about Charleston Animal Society. Would love to send you some info about our huge fundraising event in the Fall that over 5,000 attended! I love that you have a therapy dog in the office! I saw this on a friend's Facebook page. Would love to connect. Have a great night!
- Elena Lawson
Who has fun getting a root canal? I did this morning! Dr. Cohen saw me on a minute's notice from my regular dentist, diagnosed the problem and we did the first stage of the root canal all in one sitting. He uses a simple two stage injection system for the Novocaine shots. In truth the first small injections are "really" only a little prick and the followup "real" injections "really" did not hurt at all. He also used a process using a dam and "cool" sunglasses to make the procedure relaxing. I think if I had tried, I could have fallen to sleep. I'm 68 years old and have gone through a lot of pain in the dentist chair, but none with Dr. Cohen. This guy is good!!! You will be happy you chose him.
- Tom Eddins
I'll make this short and sweet... I was experiencing severe pain after a simple crown procedure and was redirected to the office of Dr. Jason H. Cohen, DMD in Mount Pleasant. Professionalism and complete empathy were not only shown by his staff but also with Dr. Cohen himself. He could see instantly my anxiety about getting this procedure ( a root canal ) done and was very informative and reassuring that the pain level would be low or not at all. I felt great when I left, no pain, very short procedure. Next day, still no pain! :) So happy!
- Lynne Carbonero
I am from New York and was traveling to South Carolina for my son's wedding. The pain in my jaw needed attention. I was in dire need of a root canal. Dr. Cohen came to my rescue. I had great service from his staff from the moment I called with my problem. Thanks to his expertise I had my root canal and made it to the wedding festivities feeling great. They saved the day. I have many thanks to this practice!
- Dawn Dobson
I highly recommend Jason if you need a root canal. He is very gentle and caring as well as being really great at his work. Lynn
- Lynn Rutledge
I've had a number of root canals, and this was my second root canal with Dr. Cohen. In my experience, Dr. Cohen is the best endodontist I've worked with. He is very experienced and skilled, uses the latest technology, and he has a great team. He (and his team) care about patients - it shows. They tried hard to be sure I was as comfortable as possible. I'd highly recommend Dr. Cohen to anyone needing endondontic work. Dr. Cohen and his team make root canals not so bad!
- Maxwell Steinhardt
Went to Dr. Cohen for root canal and Dr Cohen found my pain was coming from another tooth. His team scheduled me for surgery later that afternoon. Dr Cohen and his asst. Courtney did an excellent job caring for my tooth. I highly recommend Dr. Cohen and his team.- T S Calhoun jr.
- Thurman Calhoun Jr
Excellent experience in every phase of my treatment. Dr. Cohen is dedicated to provide highest quality care, with constant attention to patient comfort and patient education and communication.
- Tim Leber
Dr Cohen and his office staff are excellent. When I had extreme sensitivity and painful throbbing I knew I needed a root canal procedure. He got me on the schedule that day and took care of me. He uses a painless local anesthesia that helps get this job done. Thank you!
- Lynne Nemeth
I came in thinking the worst and came out feeling the best. You walk into this house and you are walking into a professional, kind and warm atmosphere.
- Veronika Fischer
Dr Cohen is an amazing Endodontist! He performed a couple of procedures for me over a few weeks and I could not have been happier with the outcome. The procedures went very well and I actually fell asleep during one of them . Of course , Sugie was a superstar and kept me calm and distracted while sleeping on my lap. In return, I was more than happy to get Sugie a bag of super yummy healthy treats. I am so impressed with Dr Cohen and his staff that I am calling tomorrow to schedule an appointment for my mom who needs an evaluation for endodontal work! Thank you for being an Outstanding Team and Practice .
- Gene Phillips MD
Well, all I can say~~~~This was My first Time~~~~Dr. Cohen, Most definitely knows what he's Doing!!!! #toothappy
- Stacey Chatelain (Goble)
Dentists and orthodontists stress me the heck out, and give me high blood pressure. Dr. Cohen and his team were absolutely amazing! They were extremely friendly and helpful. They have a helpful dog assistant named Shuga, and gave me headphones and a tablet to listen during my procedure. Which was easy, and lasted less than 30 minutes! I am thoroughly impressed, and have never been to such a wonderful office. I never leave reviews either, but I just can't say enough about how spectacular they were. I will be highly recommending this endodontics office to friends and family. Thank you!
- Stella Rounsefell
Dr. Cohen and his staff saved my weekend! I was visiting Charleston during the holiday weekend when I tripped and broke 3 of my front teeth during a run. Even though his specialty is root canals, Dr. Cohen agreed to work me in on a holiday Saturday and literally rebuilt my front teeth. Not only did he save my smile, I was able to get on with my weekend! His staff was super friendly and helped put me at ease and did everything they could to make sure I knew what was going on at all times. I wish I hadn't tripped, but since I did, I'm glad I found Dr. Cohen to help!
- Edee Wilcox
Everyone was wonderful and pleasant. Dr. Cohen was very patient and kind, but shouldn't make me laugh when my mouth is wedged open and he's working.
- Doreen Ducey
I had to get a root canal re-done and no other specialist could fit me in with my busy schedule. Dr. Cohen and his team made time in their own busy schedule work on my mouth as soon as possible. I had encounters with over four of his staff members and all were outstanding! Due to living in other states, I have visited many dentist offices and this one exceeds all of them, by far. Thank you guys!
- Lindsay
I had a great experience here. All of the staff made me feel really comfortbale and answered all my questions I had. The procedure was easy and quick. I recommend!
- Amanda
Had a root canal re do today for abscess--and was terribly anxious about it! The procedure was such a breeze! Dr Cohen and his staff are amazing--the numbing was on point, and I never felt a thing! Well done, this will be the only place I ever come for these procedures!
- Terri Whalen
My experience with Dr. Cohen was AMAZING! The root canal was a breeze and they even have a therapy dog Sugar who sat on my lap the entire time! The staff was polite and professional and made me feel comfortable! If you need a root canal go see Dr. Cohen!!
- Leisa Gibson
Seeing as I am one of the biggest wimps when it comes to dental procedures, especially root canals, Dr. Cohen and his staff completely eased my fears! Sugie, their office dog, helped tremendously as well! I would recommend Dr. Cohen and his staff to anyone!! Thank you guys so much for making this as easy as you did!!
- Kim Allison
Simply the BEST!!!! Highly recommended! Dr. Cohen is AMAZING!!!! He is so kind, talented, wise and personable! His Assistants are very compassionate, professional and gentle. An excruciating ordeal is now a happy ending! The office is highly efficient and high-tech......no waiting here and extremely accommodating for emergencies and problems. If only all medical offices could model Dr. Cohen's practice!!! I need to mention Sugar, the Emotional Support Dog who happily greets you when you enter the office!! She is super sweet and extremely adorable!!!!!! She will stay in the chair with you during the procedure if you request her support. Thank you Dr. Cohen, Courtney, Kira, Marissa and Laura!!!!
- Paula S
It went extremely well today. I arrived at 1155 am and left ( pain free ) at 110 pm. I called on a late Saturday afternoon after looking them up on their excellent website at endodonticsltd.com and was given an immediate next day morning appointment. They actually discovered the pain and decay was from a different tooth than what was thought by my local dentist !! Thank goodness they are so meticulous and careful and double check everything with their Own evaluations. Very smart and friendly support staff did an amazing job working to care for me over their own lunch hour ! I did not even feel the numbing shots , I swear it was completely painless to me. The procedure must have taken 30 or 40 minutes which again is amazing for a complete root canal , but even more satisfying is that it felt more like 15 or 20 minutes as I was very relaxed in their comfy and friendly environment. I have been here several times before and I therefore knew to expect Excellence , however I did not think it was possible to over exceed the previous outstanding experiences that they have done for me and my family .... but they did ! This time I brought a couple yummy doggie snacks and literally fed sweet " Sugie " dog while he was working on my tooth canal. I can summarize to say that I have never been better taken care of , consistently from year to year and from start to finish , then with Dr Jason H Cohen DMD and staff in any field of medicine or dentistry/endodontristry and that is coming from the opinion of a MD physician that holds more than 35 Medical Licenses and has seen a lot of patient care. Thank you Dr Cohen , support staff and Sugie for being so awesome ! You guys ROCK !! Sincerely , Dr Phillips
- W Gene Phillips II MD
Dr Cohen and his staff were wonderful and welcoming when I went in to get a root canal. They got me in same day because of tooth pain. And their pup Sugar was very helpful in keeping me calm through the procedure, thanks again you guys are great
- Bobby Allison
Dr. Cohen and his staff are awesome!
- Carrie Brooks
The staff are wonderful. They make you comfortable from the minute u open the door. Sugar is a beautiful grey lab who will comfort you. Dr Cohn is terrific. He doesn't want his patients to feel any pain whatsoever. He's kind and let's you know what is going on at all times. I wouldn't go to anyone else.
- Karen T. Weeks
My son had a GREAT experience with Dr. Cohen and his staff. The service was phenomenal. Every person we spoke with was very polite and helpful. Dr. Cohen made sure my son was very comfortable and engaged. I highly recommend Endodontics LTD to any parent whose child has to get a root canal.
- Kaovauntae Legare
I wanted to express my appreciation for Dr. Cohen. I was up all night with tooth pain and called him at 7AM. Though I had never met him before, he came in on a Saturday outside of regular office hours to perform an emergent root canal. Now I am pain free. A big thank you!
- William Largen
OUTSTANDING!!! Great Endodontist, my son was very nervous before his appointment, after meeting the staff including Sugar her was very comfortable. Procedure went great. Highly recommend Dr. J Cohen.

- The Bingham's
Dear Dr. Cohen and Staff I'd like to thank you for making my root canal procedure one of the most surprising, and relaxing procedural experiences. I was truly scared when I found out I had to have this procedure done. So many horror stories out there about this being a painful, uncomfortable event. Well I must say it was quite the opposite. I never felt a thing. From the injections to the recovery after the procedure, absolutely no discomfort. You and your staff made this an event that I will talking about and drop your name if they need this sort of treatment. Not anything like I expected. Thank you again. See you in a year for my follow up.
- Dave Westberg
Absolute best Endodontist! Very thorough and genuinely cares for their patients! I love Sugar the therapy dog! Best experience ever!

I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Dr. Cohen & his staff. I live more than 2 hours away and I wouldn't think of going anywhere else if I need another root canal! It's never your favorite thing to do, but if you have to do it, then Dr. Cohen is the one you will want. Thanks to the whole staff, I really appreciate you!

The best Dental experience I have ever had in my entire life. I was on vacation and I called late afternoon and was given an appointment first thing the next morning. I ended up having a root canal the very next day. The staff and Dr cohen were just a blessing indeed. They took such wonderful care of me. The best dental procedure I have ever had and no less a root canal. I live several hours away and I believe if I ever had to have a major procedure again. I would definitely think about taking the drive to have Dr cohen and his staff take care of me. They were absolutely the best. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of me. Oh and course I cannot forget sugar. She was the best of all.

I had been struggling with a painful new crown for weeks and finally decided to give up and see if I had to go through the scary procedure of getting a root canal. My dentist referred me to Dr Cohen. Dr Cohen and his team did an evaluation without hurting me and told me I needed a root canal. He offered to do it right then and there but I was too scared to have the procedure that day. Everyone who works in Dr Cohen's office is professional and friendly. It was easy to get the date and time that worked best for me. I was very relieved to find that the procedure itself was not painful due to Dr Cohen's expertise in pain management, (numbing). He and his staff clearly know exactly what they are doing, they are fast and precise. If you need a root canal I highly recommend Dr Cohen and his team.

Function and Variable Naming
Conkeror uses snake_case for variable and function names. That means they are lower case with words separated by underscores. By contrast, the Mozilla codebase uses camelCase style. This difference makes it easy to tell at a glance whether a given identifier is part of Conkeror or part of the underlying Mozilla platform. We also find the underscore style easier to read.
If the identifier is part of a module, it should begin with the name of the module. Abbreviate sparingly --- abbreviations in identifier names don't really make anyone's life easier.
Note that exceptions to this guideline can be found in the Conkeror source, but only for historical reasons. All new identifiers should follow this guideline for style.
New User Variables
If you use define_variable to add a new user variable to Conkeror, document it in UserVariables or in a page about the module the variable belongs to on this wiki.
Avoid pushing merge commits
We like to keep our commit history tidy. We also like it to be, whenever possible, a linear sequence of complete patches, each specific to one feature or fix, etc. Taking care up front to make good patches and keep the git history clean pays off later when we need to backtrack for whatever reason, like finding when a bug was introduced. Git provides all the tools to make this possible, from rebase to commit --amend to git-gui. Refer to GitHelp and other git documentation for more details.
Never rebase or otherwise edit the commit history of any branch on our official repository. (People depend on that one.) On your own clones, however, rebasing can be a nice way to keep your patches tidy for other developers and users. We won't mind.
Breaking Changes
If you make a change to Conkeror that is likely to break users' rc scripts, or a non-trivial change to the UI, announce it far and wide. Note it on BreakingChanges in this wiki, and announce it on irc and the mailing list. Update any documentation relevant to the change.
Long Strings
Break up long strings into several short strings, concatenated with the + operator.
Commit Messages
In order to play nice with GitWeb, it is best if commit messages are in the following form:
<blank line> 1 line briefly describing the change. try for less than 60 characters. <blank line> The change described in full detail. Wrap paragraphs to 60 or 70 characters.
Whitespace & Style
- basic indent is 4 spaces.
- no tabs, not no way, no how.
- no extra end-of-line space.
- one blank line at the end of a file.
in function calls, no space between the function name and the following opening paren, e.g: foo().
in function definitions, one space between the name of the function and the following paren, e.g: function foo () {....
in inline functions, one space between the keyword function and the following opening paren.
one space between the name of any javascript statement keyword and the following opening paren, e.g: if (foo).
opening curly braces usually on the same line as the accompanying keyword: if (foo) { and function foo () {.
- the exception to that rule is that if the conditional form of an "if" spans multiple lines, the curly brace may need to go on the following line to provide visual separation between conditional and body.
- no parens around the "argument" to "typeof", because typeof is a keyword, not a function.
prefer not to perform an assignment inside of the conditional part of an if or a while, but if there is a good reason to, put an extra set of parens around it.
in javascript objects, no space between the key and the colon...e.g: { foo: "bar" }.
- generally follow the 80 column rule, but occasionally it's okay to make exceptions.
prefer var to let; use let only where meaningful to do so.
- and the one rule that might drive some people crazy, but works well in practice is that long strings like docstrings, or inline functions that get passed to define_* or interactive forms only get indented by 4 spaces, instead of lining up with the opening paren of the function. Conkeror makes extensive use of this style in order to have a lisp-like declarative API. Just pretend these forms are macros because indenting them this way keeps the source code from running ridiculously far to the right. Incidentally, the first argument to these forms should be on the same line as the function name because it makes grepping easier. Example:
interactive("paste-x-primary-selection", "Insert the contents of the X primary selection into the selected field or "+ "minibuffer. Deactivates the region if it is active, and leaves the point "+ "after the inserted text.", function (I) call_on_focused_field(I, paste_x_primary_selection));
If you're an emacs user, there's an emacs minor mode designed to help you follow these guidelines. It's called conkeror-minor-mode and:
- It automatically follows this indentation style for "macro"-like functions.
- It warns you if you break any of the other whitespace guidelines.
- It provides syntax coloring of functions and variables.

I barely have time to write this story, never mind puree several batches of vegetables and grains every week. Like so many of us, I'm part of a working family. A typical workday for me ends at 3:00, where the baby and I race out the door to pick up my son at preschool. We return home at 5:00, ingredients in tow to slap together a healthy, semi-delicious meal for our family dinner hour at 6:00. Then bath, bed, dishes laundry, 30 minutes of Colbert…rinse, repeat. This temporal juggling act is difficult, but magically just-manageable every day. Toss an additional element into the mix – such as the need to create an entirely different menu of prepared first foods for my infant son – and the daily schedule comes to a crashing conundrum.
For my family, buying baby food was not an option. I'm a food writer and a passionate food advocate, thus I do all that I can to support the entire field-to-fork system of slow, whole foods. The expense, the soulless, unknown ingredients, the unwanted packaging, etc. made the store-bought stuff untenable, and any of the better boutique baby foods on the market were simply outside our budget. I am DIY-compulsive, and in my obsession to provide every opportunity for my second son as I did my first (a common mother's guilt of affliction), I felt that owning my baby's diet was a must.
And I paid to fuel this guilt's fire with a parent's most precious commodity – time. After the kids went to bed, I'd be roasting apples, peeling carrots, and grinding barley until nearly midnight. My nanny began to assist with some sweet potato and zucchini prep, and his help certainly took off some of the pressure. But to keep up with my high-chair critic who craved flavor and variety, we needed a monumental household babyfood culinary revolution. And we found the strength, value, and support we needed by creating and hosting our own local babyfood exchange.
The concept is familiar; we simply followed the model of a soup swap that I attended last winter and cookie swaps I've attended in the past. In a nutshell: everyone makes a whole lot of one thing, we meet at one place and time, and we trade, resulting in variety and bounty for all. But unlike other food swaps I have attended in the past, feeding babies has a gravitas, a responsibility and depth beyond the typical potluck. And to share this intimate parental responsibility with our community took the idea of a food trade to a whole new level.
"I love the babyfood swap," extols Amy Cole, mother of 10-month-old attendee Ever, who credits the gatherings with getting her baby to warm up to solid food. "When I made food for [my first child], I remember what a pain-in-the-ass it was and I lost steam really quickly. I was putting in all this effort and half the food she was so disinterested in. I am so excited to share the burden of it." Cole is thankful that the swap provides her and her baby with the "exposure and diversity" to new foods as well. "It completely inspired me to start giving her new foods and more food from my plate." Trading cookies is fine and dandy, but our babies have to eat.
Here's how it worked: I contacted 18Reasons, my local non-profit food and arts space. (Certainly not everyone has one of these around the corner, but a home or a local park or community center would also suffice.) I chose Fridays as the gathering day, thinking that's when stay-at-home parents and those who worked part-time are most likely be home. I chose 11:00 in the morning as a good time to catch 6-12 month-old babies awake and jolly.
I sent an email out to all of the parenting listserves announcing the event, asking everyone to bring themselves, their babies, and ten one-cup containers of homemade, organic babyfood ready-to-swap. Together, we sipped tea, nibbled muffins, and affixed labels with contents and dates. We eyeballed each other's little ones and had the usual parental chit-chat about sleep, diet, crazy kid behavior, etc.
Best of all, I arrived with ten cups of mashed roasted pears (from a friend's tree), lentils, and brown rice, and I left with a dietary plethora for my baby to enjoy for the next month: brown rice, caramelized onions, and curried lentils; roasted chicken, spinach, and rice; yam and apple; quinoa, zucchini, and white beans among them. Bonus points to some attendees, like Savet Doherty, there with her 8-month-old son, Finn, who brought food made with apples from her own tree that if not prepared in bulk, "would otherwise have gone to waste", and the woman who'd included winter greens from a visit to a local farm. My finely-chopped gold was taken home, served immediately, and much of it frozen for later use.
And the benefits of the food swap continue to manifest. As usual, the strength of the community is far greater than the sum of its parts. Each family saves time in the kitchen: If I'm steaming green beans and cooking oatmeal, it's almost the same amount of effort to make two- or three-times my usual amount. Our kids don't get sick of our own cooking. Many parents, such as Doherty, are "blown away by whole new combinations of things I hadn't even considered," – such as millet, cottage cheese, and carrot – "because I had only ever before seen babyfood on the shelf."
As a result, the babies also end up eating better. If we have delicious homemade food on-hand, we time-pressed caregivers are less likely to reach for expensive, less-nutritious tiny store-bought jars, boxes of instant cereal, or jarred applesauce.
But perhaps the greatest gift exchanged here was meeting like-minded parents who share the same values. Together, we hashed out when/if we'd start feeding our children whole eggs, nuts, wheat, or other common allergens. We pondered the tome of cooking for infants and toddlers, Super Baby Food, and other cookbooks. With our food processors revved into overdrive, we tackled the importance of feeding our children the best food we could possibly conjure and the challenges of life with a young family.
Together we were literally trusting strangers to nurture one of our most precious assets – truly no small feat when you roll that around on your tongue for a moment. I had wondered if this aspect of a babyfood exchange would scare some people away, but judging by the frequent repeat attendees, it's a safety issue that most of us are willing to trust our instincts on. Says Doherty, "I personally didn't have any fear at all, but I had a friend who said, 'What if you get some crazy lady who poisons the babies?' I said, 'You can get that at the Gerber plant, too.'" And Cole found herself wondering, "Do on of their kids have a cold right now? Did they wash their hands? We're all taking a leap of faith here, but I managed to put those anxieties off to the side for a while."
Now that we have four swaps under our belt, some of the organizational kinks have been worked out. We'd debated between spooning out servings on-site or coming with filled containers, and we've decided that the latter seems easier. I bring the coffee every gathering, and the space shells out for tea and some small snack. I've changed to announcement to include more information on the foods people should prepare, reminding parents not to add sugar, salt, citrus, etc., and asking that they emphasize local and seasonal foods. We've also worked out a regular schedule, the second Friday of the month, so that families can plan accordingly.
Now, as my son is nearing a year and I'm grasping that he won't be eating babyfood forever, I am still so in love with the babyfood swap concept that I am committed to making the event happen even after we've outgrown it. I believe all babies should have the opportunity to eat well, and I am happy to continue with any small aspect of making a family's life easier. When we feed our children well, we nurture ourselves and the terrain from which we draw. Together and collectively we have so much to save, so much to gain, and so much to grow.

text: our boss got invited to our rowdy beach weekend, cold-contacting strangers on LinkedIn, and more by Alison Green on June 28, 2019 It's five answers to five questions. Here we go… 1. One of our bosses got invited to our rowdy beach weekend I am good friends with three of my coworkers, let's call them Billy, Goat, and Gruff. The four of us are distributed across three different teams, but we work together a lot on various projects and also hang out with some regularity outside of work. As such, we are planning a big beach weekend getaway in August. We've all invited various friends, booked a giant house for the weekend, and have been making plans for a super fun, rowdy weekend of drunken shenanigans (as beach excursions tend to be). Billy is also friends with Goat and Gruff's boss, Gabby. Like us, Gabby is in her 30s, friendly, fun, lively, and would logically be friends with all of us if she weren't Goat and Gruff's boss. She has been to dinner and drinks with us, and on one occasion the whole group went back to Billy's house to drink more beer and eventually play a well-known boundary-pushing party card game. We all had fun, but Goat and Gruff both left early-ish, and didn't drink much (as you'd expect). This is where it starts to go sideways. Billy, in a fit of generosity, invited Gabby to the beach weekend. Since then, Gabby has asked me for additional details and if there's room for her to join. My hostess/planner self is screaming that Gabby really, truly cannot come. That there's a world of difference between the equivalent of a rowdy happy hour with coworkers and a whole weekend of road-tripping, mostly-naked (swimsuits!) heavy-drinking shenanigans, communal living, and collective reckoning with rampant hangovers and sunburn. Regardless, what was a smooth-sailing fun weekend is now embroiled in office hierarchy drama. It seems to me like my options here are a) ask Billy to tell Gabby not to come, and run the risk that he'll blame it on Goat and Gruff for being spoilsports, b) be the bad guy myself and tell Gabby that she can't come, blaming it on my delicate/old-fashioned sensibilities about mixing work dynamics (possibly damaging our relationship in the process), c) pray that she won't attend, either because her schedule will prohibit or because her sense of decorum kicks in and she decides to bow out, or d) be a terrible hostess, stew in my own stress, and let things play out as they may. I could use some help figuring out how to approach this. Gabby can't come. It's crossing too many professional boundaries for a manager to attend a "rowdy weekend of drunken shenanigans" with two people who report to her. Presumably, Goat and Gruff are going to have to be on guard if she's there, and it's just not the weekend you planned. Ideally you'd do choice A — have Billy tell Gabby he didn't think it through and since it's going to be a rowdy weekend, he shouldn't have invited two of the organizers' boss. If you don't trust him to do that without blaming Goat and Gruff (despite your explicit instructions), then you need to move to choice B — deliver that message yourself. Do not just hope she won't attend or suffer in silence. But really, Billy messed this up and he should fix it. Read an update to this letter here. 2. My wife doesn't believe me that cold-contacting people on LinkedIn is annoying My wife has been on the job hunt a very long time (nearly two years). She is currently employed on contract as a scientist with a large pharma company. During this time, she has been interviewing constantly and has had a few offers made, but with our family and financial situation, none were palatable enough to accept (though she did attempt to negotiate, and in our opinion the concessions she had asked for were reasonable). At this point, she has started just spamming employees via LinkedIn in departments at institutions she wants to work at, asking about positions she has applied to or feedback on her CV. She asked me about it and I gave her my opinion that (1) what she's doing is kind of annoying; I know I would not appreciate being bombarded by some stranger, (2) I think she would have more success if the people she was reaching out to had stake in her success, and (3) I think she should try to go to networking events and do some heavy research on the networking process and figure out what other methods may lead her to her goal. Was I incorrect in my assessment? I love my wife and want her to be happy and successful more than anything, but I think her approach is taking away her allure as a candidate, and the advice that I have given is not well received. Yeah, cold-contacting people via LinkedIn is going to be annoying, especially with those particular questions, and it's not likely to get any results. If she doesn't believe you (or me), though, she'll probably figure that out pretty quickly when she doesn't get helpful responses. If she's had a few offers that weren't financially right, it's worth looking at whether her expectations are realistic for the market. Maybe they are, and these were just bad offers — but it's possible they're not. If she's getting lots of interviews, the problem isn't her application materials. And if she's getting to the offer stage repeatedly, it's probably not her interview skills. So you may be exactly right that leaning more heavily into networking (good networking, not LinkedIn spamming) is what will help. But again, urge her to check her expectations against the reality of the market and make sure that's not the issue. 3. Manager let me go but said he wants to create a new job for me After two months of unemployment, I got hired to do freelance data wrangling at a major company by Dale, who saw my resume and said I had great potential. However, since I had never worked at such a large company before, it was on the condition that I would have a one-month trial period. I would be on a two-week trial first, then a two-week hold and if I did well during both those periods, I would be kept on until the end of the year. So I worked incredibly hard. I came in an hour early, stayed late, took shortened lunches, wrote detailed notes, asked tons of questions, and always offered to help out the rest of my team. But at the end of my third week, Dale called me into a private meeting and said that he didn't realize how green I was and that the project I was put on was too intense for someone of my skill level so I was to be let go early. However, he said that I had great potential and that he wanted to talk to his bosses about creating a position for me directly under him, but that it would take a while — "hopefully before the end of the season" — and I should take short-term positions until then. How much can I trust that this will happen? Should I ask Dale to get this in writing? Dale kept repeating that I wasn't fired, but I feel like a deadbeat who can't keep a job. You shouldn't rely on it at all. Dale isn't saying it will definitely happen; he's saying he's going to try to convince his bosses to do it. So it wouldn't make sense to ask him to put it in writing; he's telling you clearly that he can't commit to it. Since it might or might not happen, you should proceed as if it isn't — and let it be a pleasant surprise if it does happen (if the offer is one you want). That means that you should not only pursue short-term work meanwhile. You should pursue whatever type of work you want to pursue, not put your job search on hold for something he's been up-front that he can't guarantee. (Frankly, even if he did tell you he could promise it, I'd tell you the same thing — because until there's a firm offer, stuff like this can always fall apart.) 4. Switching to a gender-neutral nickname at work I am a nonbinary AFAB (assigned female at birth) person who is not out at my workplace. I present as female at work, including going by my very feminine wallet name (e.g., "Katherine"). I don't mind it, but a few of my coworkers recently started calling me by a gender-neutral nickname — think "Katherine" to "KC." It's caught on with some of our user community, and I kind of love it! Do you or your readers have any tips for encouraging people you've worked with for a while to start calling you by a new nickname, especially if you mostly interact with them through phone or text? I don't think it'd be appropriate to completely change my email signature, since I'm still "Katherine" in all of our directories and official communications, but I'd really like if more people started calling me "KC." (I work in IT at a fairly large university in the Midwest, if that helps.) The easiest way is to start signing your emails with KC. If you don't feel comfortable changing your official email signature, you can still do it like this: KC Katherine Mulberry Title Company info And with emails to people you work with frequently, you can leave the official signature stuff off anyway. They know who you are! And if they're confused, it sounds like the "from" field of your email will still say Katherine. But by signing KC, you're signaling "this is what you can call me," just like a Jennifer signing her emails with Jen or so forth. And even though people don't normally sign text messages, signing those KC for a while might help as well. You can also do the same thing on the phone — "hey, it's KC" — to anyone who will recognize your voice and not be confused about who they're talking to. And whenever you're ready, start telling new people you meet, "Hi, I go by KC." 5. Everyone wants to know why I don't work for the department that ghosted me I work in academia (let's say the field of Teapot Studies) but not as a professor. I have been active in my field, working in Teapot Research, focused mostly on Handle Design. I was moving on from a job after a grant finished and I applied for a job at another university in the School of Teapot Studies within their Handle Design department. I got an initial Skype interview. Then two months later I was invited to an in person interview. Then I heard nothing for two more months, even after two (very well spaced) emails. A job opened up in Teapot Studies but in the Department of Lids, which I applied for, interviewed for, and was offered a job in less than two weeks. I took that job because I wasn't soon going to be unemployed. Now I've run into a problem. EVERYONE asks me why I am not in the Departments of Handle Design because of my background and I'm not sure what to say besides "They ghosted me after multiple interviews." Additionally, I run into the people who interviewed me in that department at least once a week in meetings and they are either acting like they don't know me or actually have forgotten me. It's super awkward and my coworkers have pointed out how weird it is since "you have so much in common!" How do I navigate being in close contact with people who were so rude and other people's questions about the situation? To the people who ask why you're not in the Handle Design department: "I actually talked to them about a role there, but this is where I ended up!" Say it cheerfully and matter-of-factly and people will likely move on. To the Handle Design people who seem not to recognize you: Break the ice yourself. Go up to them confidently and say, "It's good to see you again! I'm Jane Warblesworth — we talked a few months ago about the open role you had on your team. I'm working in the Lids department now." To people who comment that it's weird that you're not on closer terms with the other department because you have so much in common: "I'd like to get to know them better at some point, but I'm happy being here in Lids!" That's it! I think you're feeling more awkward about it than you need to because of the ghosting, but you can leave that out of this completely. Just be matter-of-fact and it'll be fine.

Architectural Renaissance, Brought to Life in 3D11 Apr, 2006 By: Kenneth Wong
Holbeck Urban Village rises from the ashes of the past
It was once the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution in Leeds, Yorkshire. But major progress in subsequent ages seem to have skipped this corner of the city in the northern United Kingdom -- much like the River Aire rushes past the site beneath a nearby train station. Here and there, tucked between newer buildings, one can spot remains of the flax-spinning workshops, iron-casting foundries and steam-powered mills that must have brought the area alive in the 19th Century.
What would Holbeck, a historic region that has devolved into a poverty-stricken area, look like if it were to have a Renaissance? Brendan P. Hafferty, founder of AMT3D, has a pretty good idea.
Welcome (Back) to Holbeck
Leeds City Council selected 62-acre Holbeck, along with a number of other sites, as a key regenerative spot. Holbeck's upcoming makeover is expected to reinforce the distinctive character of the area, lure a significant residential population, encourage green architecture, discourage private cars and much more. The anticipated outcome is Holbeck Urban Village, a sustainable development combining a mix of uses -- residential, leisure and business.
Hafferty's firm, which has developed a high-accuracy, laser-based technology, consulted with Leeds City Council prior to choosing Holbeck as the subject of the model. AMT3D reports that the model is the United Kingdom's first 3D reconstruction of a large urban environment produced using this type of technology. The model took center stage at last weekend's launch of the massive public consultation process on the development plans for Holbeck Urban Village.

The AMT3D staff wheeled a long-range 3D laser scanner around town to digitally capture spatial and photographic data, braving not just persistent showers but also what Hafferty politely describes as "other, more organic, problems of such derelict inner-city areas."
The long-range scanner parked before the Italian towers of Holbeck, Leeds, Yorkshire.
"We use a [Leica Geosystems] Total Station to survey all our target sites and to reference the scan positions so that a global model can be developed," says Hafferty. "This is particularly important as we are at the beginning of the development of a total model of the entire Leeds city center based on the six key regeneration areas."
Hafferty deployed a mixture of commercial software and proprietary technology to process the scanned data. It was eventually output to Autodesk 3ds max, enabling interested parties to edit the city model as required.
A Microsoft Direct X-based product was used as the interactive tool to enable clients to navigate through this historic site. The Holbeck model is available from AMT3D for a licensing fee. Hafferty points out that developers and architects might, for instance, insert 3D architectural objects into the model to see how they fit into the surrounding cityscape and to analyze the new addition from various vantage points -- an ideal solution to the many problems often associated with the process of public consultation.

Hafferty used the RIEGL LMS-Z420i, a terrestrial scanner. It weighs 14.5kg (32lb) and measures 463x210 mm (1.5x0.69 ft) and has an integral calibrated high-resolution digital camera. At a rate of 0.5km (0.32 mile or 1,640ft) per day, he spent about 14 days scanning Holbeck, from its streets and alleys below -- "snickets" in Yorkshire lingo -- to its classical Italian towers.
