The new PAEK polymer based materials will give designers and developers the opportunity to use the best performing polymers within additive manufacturing processes and help make this dream a reality, transforming additive manufacturing into a high-performance production tool.
THORNTON CLEVELEYS, U.K. (PRWEB) September 10, 2018
Taking on the challenge to develop a broader platform for new and existing additive manufacturing (AM) technologies, the University of Exeter (UK) and Victrex, a world leader in high-performance Polyaryletherketone (PAEK) polymer solutions, have commenced work in a strategic partnership. The goal is to introduce next-generation PAEK polymers and composites while improving the performance of the underlying AM processes. This collaboration is driven by Victrex R&D and the University´s Center for Additive Layer Manufacturing (CALM), a leading center of excellence. The new alliance will focus on multiple AM technologies.
Additive manufacturing is a key productivity tool of the future, which grew at ~21% last year.1 The materials and technology to support AM continue to emerge, including the first PAEK polymers designed, developed and optimized specifically for AM. "We are excited to start this partnership and continue our R&D work on development of high performance materials and AM processes for today's and future needs and applications. The new PAEK polymer based materials will give designers and developers the opportunity to use the best performing polymers within AM processes and help make this dream a reality, transforming AM into a high-performance production tool," comments Professor Oana Ghita, the lead of CALM at the University of Exeter.
Victrex and CALM started to work together in a consortium2 focusing on the development of VICTREX™ PAEK polymers for various 3D printing processes. After having achieved major improvements, Victrex recently announced newly developed advanced PAEK products designed for AM: A high strength material for laser sintering, a filament with better Z-strength than existing PAEK materials and better printability for filament fusion.
Improved technologies for additive manufacturing of VICTREX PAEK can open up a range of possibilities for design engineers. Potential benefits of using PAEK polymer for AM could include:
- Greater design freedom for engineers looking to deploy AM in high-performance applications in a variety of industries.
- Higher-performance AM solutions, enabling the production of highly complex, highly customized, and highly specialized PAEK components.
- Digital design and fabrication of PAEK parts for rapid prototyping and speed to market.
- Improved economics through elimination of machining waste, improved refresh rates in powder bed fusion, and improved material utilization in filament fusion.
- Patient customized implants and improved outcomes through new features and better fit.
Aerospace and Medical Industry to Benefit
"Victrex is keen to help overcome barriers to adoption and realize the full potential of PAEK/PEEK-based parts produced using AM technology," explains Ian Smith, Marketing Director at Victrex. "In order to open up the AM supply chain, we need to continue to work together to develop an eco-system that can address unmet industry needs and accelerate the adoption of PAEK/PEEK for AM technologies. This cooperation with the University of Exeter is one part of Victrex´s efforts to construct that eco-system."
The company expects two industries to benefit in particular during the initial adoption phase. In the aerospace sector, the use of PAEK/PEEK in AM has the potential to enable new designs and the consolidation of parts within a single design. At the same time, it will allow the production of parts that would be difficult to machine. In medical, AM in conjunction with PAEK will allow the manufacture of medical devices to make patient specific implants. The prospect of broad-based industry-wide adoption awaits as the eco-system develops and improved solutions become available.
CALM - A Leading Center of Excellence in Polymeric Additive Layer Manufacturing
CALM is specializing in the use of high-temperature and high-performance polymers and composite materials for additive manufacturing. The center offers independent research and technical support, working with both academia and industry worldwide, to develop the next generation of AM materials for engineering. As the leading center of excellence in the high temperature AM sector, CALM is conducting pioneering research on additive manufacturing technology, examining how it can enable and speed-up the widespread adoption and use of this technology in industrial production.

Eucharist Invitation
By Scott Wall
Today, we come to the Eucharist table. In this practice, we as a community acknowledge the mystery of God's presence at work in our gathering. We affirm the ancient hope that this bread and wine reveal to us: that God is making all things new, and that we see this newness embodied in Christ.
And, in this practice we as individuals acknowledge the mystery of God's work in our lives. Each of us receives today, even as Christ's disciples did in their last meal together, the gratuitous affection of the Divine...free for our taking, if we will open our hands and hearts to receive it.
As you come today, do so knowing that God's mercy is great. As you come today, lay down for just a moment your Lenten fasting...and feast on the goodness of God served to you in Christ. As you come today, receive new life...new hope...and new assurance of God's face turned toward you.
Come... journey with Christ today.
Paraphrased from Covenant Book of Worship
God of all, By your grace you gave your Son to take the form of a servant, and to be obedient even to death on a cross. As Christ Jesus was a servant to all, give us Lord the will to serve others. Christ's name we pray,

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from You will never want to take this off The airism mesh shirt is a wonder. Its light and soft like a whisper. Yet, it is warm when layered under another shirt. In the warmer temps it is barely noticeable yet it keeps you dry and aids in moving moisture off your skin and out for evaporation. It is a travel sensation and everyday go to. This shirt is brilliant, much like much more expensive base layer systems from the expensive technical clothing companies, the Airism shirt maintains comfort and yet you do not even realize you have it on. In many ways, there is no reason to remove it as it is so adaptable to so many conditions. What a bargain and what a product. Thank you Uniqlo.

When I was in year 5 of this business, I took a class through the Small Business Development Center called New Venture Training. It was a class designed for those contemplating owning a business/growing a business and we all wrote our Business Plans. The class was great fun, we learned alot and got to bounce ideas off each other, I can't recommend it highly enough. They do have some scholarships available and I do encourage you to look into it.
They also had a financial class that went along with it, that was 4 sessions I believe. Anyhow, the ONLY thing I took exception with, was the instructor said "if you arent perfectly healthy, if you even take an aspirin now and then, being self-employed isn't for you". I think if you have any major health issues you need to give a little extra thought to how you'll work around the issue, but I wouldn't let it stop me!
I think the main thing is to know that if you do decide to go into business, it will require dedication and sometimes even sacrifice. You will need to have great self-discipline, it all falls on your shoulders. But the thing is, for me anyhow, the rewards FAR outweigh the challenges. and remember "Nothing is impossible to a valiant heart" :-)

Welcome back to #THROWBACKTHURSDAY! We love this series because every Thursday we take a trip down memory lane and visit the history of Urgent Care for Kids, healthcare, and other fun things. Hop into our time machine and let's go!
Today we are looking at the history of the stethoscope! The word stethoscope is derived from the two Greek words, "Stethos", which means chest, and "scopos", which means examination! Stethoscopes are used to listen to the heart and chest sounds, as well as to hear bowel sounds and blood flow noises in arteries and veins. According to the American Diagnostic Corporation, here are a few of the facts regarding the Stethoscope:
1816: The first stethoscope was invented by a French doctor named Rene Theophile Hyacinthe Laennec at the Neckcer-Enfants Malades Hospital in Paris. The first stethoscope consisted of a wooden tube and was moaural.
1851: The stethoscope became bi-aural by physician Arthur Leared.
1852: George Cammann refined the stethoscope by commercializing it.
20th Century: Minor improvements were made to these devices to reduce weight, improve acoustic quality, and filter out external noise. Stethoscopes are now available in a wide array of styles and colors, with designs available for virtually every kind of medicine.
Check out more about Stethoscopes here.

Taking a quick look at the Distianert Trail Camera
Here is a brief overview of our top-rated trail cam's best features and what might be considered drawbacks for some users:
- Up to 12 Megapixel max photo resolution
- 1080P HD video with sound
- 80' detection range (60' nighttime range)/125° field of view
- 4" programmable LED screen
- low-glow black LED lights for night image taking
- Rapid 0.6-second no-delay trigger speed
- Does not come with the included SD card it needs
- Instruction manual needs improvement
Evaluating the Performance and Versatility
This is a really nice trail cam with some very good features. It offers a wide field of view and will shoot out to a good distance also. Best of all it offers you high-resolution video (1080P HD) with sound and high quality (12 MP) day and night photos too.
It has 42 LED bulbs for its nighttime flash mode. These are low-glow LED bulbs which are hard for both humans (if you are using it as a security cam) and animals to detect the presence of the flash.
This trail cam has the ability to take and store of 30,000 photos once the separate SD card is purchased.
Ease of use, Battery Life and Construction
Programming a trail camera could not possibly be simpler than this one. It features a generous 2.4" display screen built right into it. You simply follow the onscreen instructions. You can even playback video and look at photos right on the display screen.
This camera use 8AA batteries for power. If it's programmed right the batteries will last you several months at a time before they need replacing.
This is one tough game camera that can really handle the elements too. The body is made using durable materials like heavy duty plastic and it's completely weatherproof also. It mounts on a tree or pole using its included 75" strap.
The Distianert Trail Camera's Signature Features
There are two things that really stand out to us with this model trail cam. The first is the where a wide area that it can take photos and videos in front the camera. For daytime viewing its sensor will trip when it detects movement up to 80' feet away from the camera. At night it's a little shorter 65' feet distance from the motion sensor to work. It will also scan a full 125° across the area in front of the trail cam.
One other thing we like about this trail cam is its trigger speed. It will snap a photo or start a video in less than a second after it senses movement. That is as fast as any trail cam you will find.
Warranty and Possible Drawbacks
There is nothing special about the warranty that comes with this trail cam. Distianert will stand behind it for a period of 1-year from the date of purchase. That is at or below the industry standard warranties for trail cams.
This game camera also functions best if you have a mini-SD card with a minimum of 16GB. You will need that much storage if you want to leave it in the woods for a long period of time. Sadly the mini-SD card is not included in the package and must be purchased separately.
Check The Latest Price on Amazon!
Summing Up Our Thoughts
It's easy to tell that a lot of thought went into the design of this trail cam. Everything from its fast shutter reaction time to its excellent photo resolution is exactly what you want in any trail cam you buy. The Distianert Trail Camera takes very good night and daytime photos and videos too. It easily mounts on top of a tripod or you can use its included strap to place it on a tree. If you like what you read here this is definitely a trail camera worth considering purchasing.

After hearing of the enjoyment her family had in attending Cowley College, Peyton Adams decided to follow in their footsteps and also attend the school.
The decision has paid off — Adams has been involved in numerous activities and is one of five finalists for Queen Alalah LXXXV. Coronation is set for 7:30 p.m. Oct. 28 in the Robert Brown Theatre.
Adams is the daughter of Eric and Coni Adams, and the granddaughter of Linda and Gary Fair, and Cindy Adams and the late Kenny Adams, all of Wellington. She has an older sister, Erianne. Her mother, father and sister all also attended Cowley.
Adams graduated from Wellington High School in 2015. At Wellington, she was the senior class president and president of SADD, and was involved in FCA, National Honor Society, tennis, softball and basketball.
Adams was a three-time Class 4A state qualifier in doubles and also placed in singles at the state tournament as a senior.
She was offered a tennis scholarship to attend Cowley and has remained active on the Arkansas City campus.
At Cowley, Adams is a member of the nationally ranked women's tennis team, while also serving as a student ambassador and a resident assistant in the William R. Docking Dormitory.
"I love the atmosphere and how tight knit the campus is," she said. "I have had a great experience at Cowley and have had an opportunity to be involved in lots of things."
Adams is majoring in pre-nursing, with the hope of becoming a pediatric oncologist. After Cowley, she plans to apply to nursing school at either Kansas University or Pittsburg State University.
While in high school, Adams had an opportunity to job-shadow the nursing staff at Sumner Regional Medical Center. That experience, along with seeing how the nurses cared for her late grandfather, led Adams to become a pre-nursing major. "Nursing captured my heart," she said.
Adams said she enjoyed coming to Arkansas City to take in the Arkalalah festivities while her sister was a member of the Cowley women's tennis team in 2013 and 2014, and now she is looking forward to being one of the five Queen Alalah finalists.
"I hope to take away great memories with this group of girls," Adams said. "I am really good friends with the other four girls, and am excited and honored to be nominated."

My physician switched me from Lithium and Lexapro to a "new" drug, Lamictal (for Bipolar Disorder).
Has anyone ever tried this drug?
Any input?
Oh yeah, I am on it....Works great for me..and best thing is no blood test and no internal damage like liver in stuff. It really the best that has worked for me...and I know how ya can get it for free. www.freemedicineprogram.com is where I went to get application :D
I'm on it as well, and it has been nothing short of a miracle drug. In fact, of everyone I know that is on it, not one has had a bad experience. Good luck!
On it too and having similar results. Still need wellbutrin to level out on the upside but definately feel the difference.
It is an amazing drug for a number of reasons: It works well at preventing/ minimizing bipolar depression and it's a great mood stabilizer! There is a growing body of research that says that Lamictal in combination with Lithium is the most effective treatment for bipolar depression. I was on it for 3 yrs and unfortunately my new MD(moved out of state) wants me to get off it because of a minimal risk of "Stevens-Johsons Syndrome". This is a potentially lethal all over body rash which is more prevelant in kids under 16. When I first started on the med, the doc raised my dose too quickly and I developed a rash.(it wasn't S-JS) As a precaution, he stopped the drug completely and the rash resolved. The problem was that I "crashed" ending up in a deep depression while off of it. My Dr. then re-started me back on the Lamictal titrating up slowly up to half the dose I was on previously. Was at 400mg went back to 200mg which was the magic number. I've never had any problems since then. When I voiced my concern about going off it this new doc in CT he said that the adderall XL (which I've been on for a week now) would in combination with the Wellbutrin 300xl prevent me from experiencing any exacerbation of depression. It's only been 1 day since I've stopped we lowered the doding for a week before stopping.. and so far so good. The jury's still not out quite yet. What dosage are you on? I remeber on the 5th day after starting the lamictal I got this strange and unsettling s/e. I was at work and went to ask a coworker a question..I'd known her for years when I went to call her, another women's name came out of my mouth. What I wanted to say and what actually came out of my mouth were different. Fortunately this was at the end of the work day and this s/e was gone in a couple of hours..very strange though. No one I had spoken to had ever had that reaction. Your doc should be starting you out on 25mg for a week and 50mg the next week until you get to the desired dosage The addage "start low and go slow" is definitely warranted. I think you'll find the Lamictal to be a terrific help as I did.. Good Luck!
I've been on Lamictal since January. It has helped me a lot. No major side effects. I just feel so much better and my moods have remained level once I got built up to the 200 mg that I am taking now. My doctor added Adderall last week to help with the ADD and thus far no problems.
Eh? I have to get blood levels taken every few months or so. :confused: (On 350 mg per day, just lowered from 400.) Have had to get those tests since...like, 2 docs ago or something when I got put on it. (3 years? 3 1/2? Can't remember.) Just had my blood sucked by a rather inexperienced lab tech yesterday, actually...took a level for that and a TSH. The inside of my left elbow appears to have been bitten by a rabid mosquito or something.:rolleyes:
Oh, well. Pretty used to getting blood sucked out of me...
Wait, man, what am I doing, telling this to the vampire chica, of all people? :faint: Thank goodness I ain't in New Orleans! :p
Oh yeah, I am on it....Works great for me..and best thing is no blood test and no internal damage like liver in stuff.

it was great as a mood stabilizer but my reaction to it on the side effect end was a terrible headache so i had to switch
does it help with anxioty for anyone? it seams to for me. I am not bipolor but my doc thinks maybe i have some mood disorder, my mood is the same, alway has been but anxioty is going away a little
it was great as a mood stabilizer but my reaction to it on the side effect end was a terrible headache so i had to switch
I went up to 300mg and the headaches were terrible. When I switched to taking 150mg twice a day my headaches were gone.
It does an excellent job for stabilizing my mood, my straterra helps with my temper (don't know why, just does) but I use lorezepam for anxiety. I haven't heard of lamictal being used for that.
EYEFORGOT, I just LOVE your Dory icon!!! One of my favorite movies!
Hi ADDThis,
I made the switch from Lithium to Lamictal six + years ago and was thrilled. The thick wool blankets that smothered my brain on lithium disappeared and I felt like I was finally engaging with the world again.
In fact in the past three years, perhaps thanks to Lamictal and certainly thanks to good therapy, my bipolar symptoms, particularly depression, have diminished to the point where they do not interfere with daily living anywhere near as much as my ADD challenges.
My chief issue with Lamictal is that at doses higher than 300mg it has started to interfere with cognitive function ... at 400 mg I could not confidently count objects, even from 1 to 10 because I was nervous that I had missed one. This diminished as I reduced the dose.
So part of my confusion with my recent ADHD diagnosis is ... how much of the problems are a result of the lamictal ... and to the extent that the ADHD meds aren't working as well as some expect, how much of this is about not being on the right meds vs being on these meds and Lamictal. The fact is that I have a long history of ADHD behaviour stretching into childhood (my doc basically said that the only reason no one caught it was that I was smart enough to compensate, and actually did very well academically, though if you look closely at my academic performance the few failures that exist are clearly ADHD related).
So my verdict on Lamictal in terms of me -- good drug for mood, better than Lithium, not perfect and beware possible cognitive issues ... I have found others in other forums who have spoken at length about similar memory and cognitive problems that appear to be because of lamictal. In my case it took years before I noticed thses. Also I know people who have said that as an antimanic lamictal isn't as strong as some of the others. I have managed by keeping a stash of clonazepam and perphenazine just in case (never had to use the perphenazine, take the clonazepam 0 - 5 x per month).
Hope that is useful.
it was great as a mood stabilizer but my reaction to it on the side effect end was a terrible headache so i had to switchwondering how long you tried it for and how gradually you ramped it up. I have found that some of the drugs that ended up being the most effective for me (eg wellbutrin) had nasty side effects to begin with but if I took it very slowly and stuck it out for a week or two these eventually subsided and the benefits were worth it.
I'm on week 5 in my sample kit, and I seem to be getting better each day. But my psych wants me on it to "stabilize" my mood. She hasn't told me I'm bipolar...really, she hasn't given me a diagnosis at all and I've been seeing her for a couple of months. Is that normal?
Has anyone noticed a difference in effect from Lamictal when taken in the a.m verses a bedtime dose? With my schedule, it's just much easier for me to take it at night, but I don't want to if there is a chance it wont work as well. I'm just starting the drug and I'm very hopeful that it can work.
Thanks for any input.
There is a growing body of research that says that Lamictal in combination with Lithium is the most effective treatment for bipolar depression. Wolfie, if you have more information on this e.g. specific study details, could you message me with it or post it here. I found that my mood was best while I was switching from lithium to lamictal (and taking both) but my docs are wary of this combo long term because they've never used it.
I would agree with most of the positive sentiments expressed here about lamictal with one reservation: at higher doses (for me over 200mg daily) it definitely interferes with my ability to concentrate.
I'm bummed! I started Lamictal a few weeks back and showed immediate results. But within a week my throat swelled and I got the itchyest damn rash on the planet! (still hasn't gone away completely) I had been on a combo of effexor, dex, and clozonzapam but I slowly developed some intolerance to the clozonzopam (found out AFTER they thought I had a brain tumor!) It was horriblle. I went from my usual ADHD ditzy self to not being able to drive cause I was getting lost a block away! I was taking .01mg for years just fine, but surprise.
So now I'm trying Tegretol, effexor and dex.
Wish me luck, I'm a mean manic, I don't wanna be mean... honest! :(
Good luck PINKY. That sucks that you had to switch. I'm also having Lamictal issues...
Has anyone experienced this??? I'm on week six of Lamictal and just made the increase to 75mg/daily. I've felt better than I have in years but since the dose increase I've become ridiculously tired at the end of the day, and it's horrible trying to wake up from sleep. I've seen some mention of this, but I'm wondering if it will subside as my body adjusts to each dose increase.

Historical and emotional memory of forest settlements' creation in the Arctic zone of the Russia (as remembered by senior citizens)
|5. Other
|Session Name
|5.7 Ageing Arctic: Realizing the potential of older people
|Sep 07, 2018 01:55 PM - 02:15 PM (UTC +3)

|Tatiana Zhigaltsova
|Tatiana Zhigaltsova (Federal Research Centre for Integrated Study of the Arctic named after academician N. P. Laverov, Russian Academy of Sciences, Russian Federation)
|Abstract text
Temporary forest settlements, which were set up in the 1950-60s on the territory of the Russian North for extraction and transportation of timber, represent a unique source of information on the creation of new settlements. The ambient environment influenced the settlement boundaries, planning and composition solutions and community center, configuration of buildings etc. But did the selected location satisfy then and does it satisfy now the citizens' need for comfortable, beautiful, safe, unique and friendly environment? Satisfaction of these needs creates positive image of the settlement in its residents, strengthens emotional rootedness, safety and control over the environment. At present, the majority of such settlements are rapidly losing their population due to migration. Only "first generation" citizens, who built the houses, the community and maintenance buildings with their own hands, stay to live there. In my presentation, I am going to show the results of an interview and questionnaire-based study conducted in 2017-2018 among the senior citizens (over 55 years old) living in a temporary forest settlement Komsomolskij in the Euro-Arctic zone of Russia. The hypothesis for this study runs that the planning of non-traditional (temporary) settlements does not satisfy the demands of its citizens. Additionally, the presentation will include a number of emotional maps, showing emotopia, based on the memories of the citizens (historical memory) and present perceptions of the community members (emotional memory). In conclusion, some recommendations for the preservation of emotional place attachment among senior citizens, living in the Arctic zone, will be given.

Food Network Star Recap: July 1, 2012
9:01 pm – Ippy is beyond thrilled that the remaining competitors are heading to Miami for this week's Food Network Star competition. Ippy has apparently forgotten what humidity can do to curly hair.
9:03 pm – On the beach, the gang meets up with Bobby, Giada and Thurston Howell the Third to receive this week's challenge.
9:04 pm – Bobby informs the competitors that their challenge this week is to throw a Welcome Party to VIP families attending this year's South Beach Food and Wine Competition, including most importantly, celebrity cook Paula Deen and her family.
9:05 pm – When Southern-born Martie hears she'll be cooking for Paula Deen, she becomes excited, says "Dagnabbit!"
9:07 pm Giada reminds Ippy that this beach challenge is really his "time to shine" because he's from Hawaii and his head looks like a pineapple.
9:09 pm – Private Chef Malcolm announces to camera, "My culinary genius has no limitations, so why should I pick one simple POV and limit myself?' all but ensuring he'll be the one going home this week. Personally, I thought Malcolm went home weeks ago. Watch the previous three episodes of Food Network Star and give me one reason to believe otherwise.
9:10 pm – Michele complains about how much work stone crabs are to prepare. The stone crabs complain that Michele looks like a middle-aged version of Ponyboy from The Outsiders.
9:12 pm – Nikki Martie, and Martita head to Target to buy supplies for the party. After being confronted with the trio's onslaught of artificial sunniness, several customers mistake them for employees, several more mistakes them for Jehovah's Witnesses, one asks if they're "Kardashian aunts."
9:14 pm – Yvan's Zoosk-Dot-Com "Personality Matcher" results come in, and the first date is a roaring success.
9:13 pm – Time to start shooting each competitor's "Thirty Second Party Tip!"
9:14 pm – As usual, Martie goes over time, says,"Guhd-darniit!"
9:15 pm – Michele complains that she rambles too much and is worried she'll go over, but instead goes five seconds short. If I were Michele, I would have used that time to re-assure the home audience that the giant knife tattoo on my leg was not a trophy tattoo from that time I stabbed a newbie to death on Cellbock H.
9:17 pm — Nikki is excited that she's finally able to cook outdoors… because that's what's been holding her back so far.
9:18 pm – Malcolm says that despite what Bobby Flay, Susie Fogelson and Bob Tuschman have all advised him to do, he absolutely, positively does NOT NEED TO HAVE A POINT OF VIEW to win this competition.
9:20 pm – Martie is still excited about cooking for Paula Deen, professes she's "happier than Beulah the cow," cries into her endives.
9:21 pm – Michele doesn't have any time to pick out the shells from her crab, so she decides to just stick with the plan and see what happens, just like I did the time my ex-boyfriend starting choking at the dinner table right when my chocolate mousse pie arrived.
9:22pm – Hey ya'll!
9:23 pm – Justin is intent on proving he isn't "stone cold," which translates into "My Personality Hints at an Undetected Bowel Obstruction."
9:24 pm – Justin serves corn soup but doesn't warn anyone about the large amount of chili sauce. Paula coughs and gasps desperately for air.
9:24 pm – Justin: "When I see that my food is choking Paula Deen, I'm disappointed."
9:25 pm – The judges watch Martie's botched Thirty Second Tip video. Alton Brown points out that managing on-camera countdowns is a big issue for Martie. But seeing as she is also from the South, Paula Deen is completely sympathetic and the two reassure one another.
Paula: "I totally get you!"
Martie: "You totally would. Birds of a feather–"
Paula: "–taste better when you stuff them with Nutella!"
9:28 pm – Malcolm serves his food to the judges and… surprise! Guess what their first question is about.
9:29 pm – Michele presents her seafood. Several people unexpectedly bite into large crunchy bits. Others say they're "afraid to eat it." Mothers warn their children away from the table. Many report bleeding gums. Cats politely pass.
9:30 pm – Paula tells Yvan he is "adorable" and "charming" and makes ZOWEE! eyes at him like they're both in a Tex Avery cartoon and Yvan has just dissolved into a roast turkey.
9:35 pm – Malcolm tells Bobby Flay he doesn't think lacking a point of view is a problem. Bobby tells Malcolm if he'd like to take a picture with him, he should do it soon.
9:40 pm – Ippy wins the challenge and a $20,000 gift card from Target. Ippy buys 40,000 Aloha shirts.
9:45 pm – In the bottom two this week are Malcolm and Michele.
9:48 pm – Producer's Challenge – Michele and Malcolm have to make a Beach Party Cocktail. Cue a groan from Michele. Malcolm doesn't even seem sure of what was just said.

Nick Kroll
Describe your comedy in a single sentence or less.
Unfortunately for me, I don't have a terribly strong point of view as a comedian. It's sort of… whatever. It's a catch-as-catch-can of stories and character moments and observations that I think are funny at the time.
Describe the moment that you first knew you had earned the right to call yourself a comic.
The first set I did on Jimmy Kimmel's show. I'd done a lot of standup and improv shows leading up to that, but when you are finally on TV, it feels very familiar. You know what I mean? Growing up, I watched other people do this on TV, and that's what it looked like to be a comedian. So doing the same thing, it was like, "Oh, okay. I guess I'm actually a comedian now."
How often do you refresh your act?
If I'm on the road, doing an hour, those jokes have been accumulated over a period of time, and some of them will stick around or fall out as they become less interesting to me. But when I'm doing sets around town, I'm usually trying out new stuff and building an act. The life span of a joke really varies. In general my rule of thumb is, if I've done it on an album or a special, it's time to put that joke to bed.
Who are your comedy idols?
I grew up watching Mel Brooks movies. Mel Brooks was very important to me. Less as a stand-up, but I also listened a lot to the 2000 Year Old Man as a kid. I guess I listened to the same comedy albums that all the guys my age were listening to. Like Eddie Murphy's Delirious. In my circle of friends, if you didn't know that album by heart, there was something wrong with you. I watched Carlin at Carnegie a bunch of times. And there was a Robin Williams special that I was really into. I forget the name. I think it was Live at the Met? When I was a kid, those specific hours stood out as somehow significant.
What's your favorite bit by another comic?
There are so many jokes by some of my friends that I think are just beautiful and funny and I'm amazed that they were even able to come up with them. One of my favorites is a bit John Mulaney does about his father taking his family to a McDonalds drive-through, and all he does is order black coffee. It just makes me laugh.
What's the smallest audience you've performed for?
When I was doing open mic stuff in New York, back in the beginning, it wasn't unusual to do a set with three or four people. But even at the time, I was like, "It's not the size of the audience that matters. I'm a comedian and I'm going to take this opportunity to exist in the moment and enjoy it and have fun." You can have an amazing set with an audience of four or an audience of 400. And you can have a miserable time with both.
What's the largest crowd you've performed for?
About four years ago I did a benefit at the Nokia Theatre that Will Ferrell put together, part of a charity he does in LA. There were probably 8000 people there. That was the biggest crowd I'd ever played for, and it was really kinda staggering. When an audience is that big, there's a delay in the laughter. You know what I mean? It takes a few seconds before the sound of laughter gets to the stage. It's a bit disconcerting.
What's the most embarrassing thing that has happened to you on stage?
Well, on one of those nights when there were three people in the audience, I asked Bill Murray to watch me do stand-up. I was performing at this place in New York called B3, and a waitress told me that Murray was in the restaurant part of the club. So I walked up to him, totally interrupted him having a drink with his son or whatever, and asked if he'd watch me perform. Now, I'd only been doing stand-up for like six months at this point. There was no reason he should've said yes, but he showed up. As I was onstage, I watched him walk into the audience and sit down. And I just froze. I totally bombed. I saw him after my set and thanked him for coming, and he nodded his head politely, didn't even make eye contact, and went on with his evening.
Describe the worst heckling you've received and how you dealt with it.
A lot of hecklers don't mean to heckle. They disrupt the show because they want to be a part of it. But very rarely do I deal with people who are trying to work against me. I don't really mind it, because when you're performing live, you want people to feel like they're watching something that's happening on that particular night to that particular audience. I don't necessarily want to encourage this, but when someone does disrupt me or tries to get involved, it brings some nice spontaneity to a show. You're able to be funny with something that's very specific to that time and place. And that's great. But then you want them to shut up so you can get back into the rhythm of your act.
What do you think of audience members who yell out requests?
I just let them get it out of their system. I'm like, "Everybody, let's all scream things that we want and think that we like. Let it all out. Let the poison out." I let them have that moment. And then they tend to settle down. If that doesn't work, there's the thing that I learned from Aziz (Ansari), who I think learned it from Louis (C.K.). Or maybe I've mixed that up, I don't remember the exact origin. Once you finish your set, you come out for an encore and it's all about answering questions or taking requests. Because some people really want to hear certain jokes. They want to hear it live like they heard it on an album or a special or a TV show. But I don't want to be presumptuous. Some crowds want something they've never heard before. So I leave it up to them.
Describe the worst dressing room you've ever used. Where was it?
I didn't deal with too many of those. When I was first coming up, doing shows in New York, you didn't really have a dressing room. You'd just show up and get onstage. As far as touring, I've been lucky. I didn't really go on the road until people had some sense of who I was. So I don't have any horror stories of doing my act at shoebox comedy clubs and getting pelted with ice by surly crowds and then sleeping in a car at a rest-stop off the highway in Wisconsin. I was very, very fortunate to skip that step.
Describe your best or worst experience with a groupie.
That's the whole reason anybody becomes an artist, I'm pretty sure. Whether it's music or comedy or filmmaking, it's all done in the hope that random strangers will want to sleep with you. I haven't had too many of those experiences, or even the possibility of those experiences. When I got to the point in my career when women might actually want to sleep with me because of whatever fame they thought I had, I wasn't interested anymore. I was like "Do I actually want to be with somebody who's just into me because I'm on television?" But the biggest reason to say no to a groupie is because you've done two shows and you're exhausted and you want to go back to the hotel and sleep because you're leaving early in the morning.

Chris D'Elia
Describe your comedy in a single sentence or less.
Wow. That's a tricky one. Let's see…. um…. In a sentence? What could I even say? I guess my comedy is about trying to figure out what's funny on stage, as it happens. I'll just go up with an idea, and then figure it out from there. Other than that, it's just about being silly. I like being silly. I've always liked being silly. I just feel like, in a way, that's who I am. I'll own that shit.
Describe the moment that you first knew you had earned the right to call yourself a comic.
When I got my name on the wall of the Comedy Store in Los Angeles. That took awhile. Just getting on the stage can take some guys six, seven years. For me, it took about a year. And then when your name goes on the wall, and you're up there with guys like Richard Pryor and Sam Kinison, that's when I felt like I could actually call myself a comedian. It was proof. I could point to the wall and say, "See? I'm right there."
How often do you refresh your act?
When I'm on the road, I've got an hour of pretty solid material. But I'm constantly working on it, cycling out material that doesn't work and trying new stuff. When I'm in LA, I'm only doing 15 minute spots at the local clubs, so it's always new stuff. That where you try it out, see what works. But on tour, it really depends. I never really know. I would say if you see me once every year, I'd have new stuff.
Who are your comedy idols?
My idols were always Jim Carrey and Eddie Murphy. The way they would do characters was just astonishing to me. They'd just throw themselves into it 100%. They inhabited every inch of those characters. I always thought that was so hilarious.
What's your favorite bit by another comic?
The one where Eddie Murphy talks about his aunt falling down the stairs. There's just something about how much time he takes with it. She doesn't just fall down, it's like this epic, ridiculous freefall, like she's tumbling down Mt. Kilimanjaro. And she's screaming "Oh Lord Jesus help me!" You're laughing the whole time it's happening, and how it never seems to end. The longer it takes for his aunt to fall down the stairs, the funnier it gets.
What's the smallest audience you've performed for?
I've performed for one person before. I was at the Comedy Store. It's when I was earning my stripes, coming up. They put me on late at night, and right before I went on, everybody left. There was one girl way in the back, and I just had a conversation with her. They say the goal is to connect with your audience. Well, that's pretty hard to screw up if there's only one person out there.
What's the largest crowd you've performed for?
I would say around 20,000. I did a tour last year, the Oddball Tour, with comics like Dave Chappelle and Flight of the Conchords and a bunch of other guys. We toured around different amphitheaters, and it was just…. it was insane. When you're performing for 20,000 people, you might as well be doing it in your bedroom alone. You don't even know if you're doing well. When 20,000 people are laughing, you're like, "Is this how it sounds? Or is this killing, or am I bombing? I don't know." It could've been the littlest amount of laughter that 20,000 could do, I didn't know. I had no perspective.
What's the most embarrassing thing that has happened to you on stage?
I was opening for Jo Koy, a comedian, in San Diego once. I have this bit where I talk about my buddy who bought me some pants for my birthday. I did this move where I stretched a little, to show off the pants, and the crotch area just completely ripped open. Sometimes I don't wear underwear, and if I wasn't wearing them that night, my balls and dick would have completely just come out. Thank God I'd remembered to put on underwear. Not that it helped. I couldn't get back into my act. And it happened during the first joke, so for the rest of my 20 minutes, I was doing my act with a huge rip in my pants.
Describe the worst heckling you've received and how you dealt with it.
Just one? I get heckled so much, man. I've had people threaten to fight me. And I constantly throw people out. One time in Florida, this guy was being really threatening towards me, and I was finally like, "Get this guy outta here!" It was at that moment I realized, this club doesn't have security. I saw the waiters roll their eyes and kind of let out a sigh, like "Here we go." And they put their trays down and had to escort this guy out. He was on the opposite side of the room from the exit, so as they were taking him out, he was talking shit to me the whole time. It took about five minutes before they finally got him out of there.
What do you think of audience members who yell out requests?
That's a surefire way for me to never do the bit. I don't like being treated like a jukebox. Ultimately it's great to have an audience and having people pay to see you, but I do standup for me. If there's an audience there, great. But I'll perform for one person. It doesn't really matter to me. I'll do shit that I think is funny for nobody in my own house. If somebody thinks that they know what I should do, it completely turns me off. I have a bit, a drunk girl bit, and people want me to do it. It's an old bit, and I'll sometimes bring it out again. But sometimes it gets annoying. A few weeks ago in San Diego, a girl walked up on stage during my act and said, "Will you do your drunk girl bit?" I was like, "Get the fuck out of here!"
Describe the worst dressing room you've ever used. Where was it?
There was one club in Jacksonville that was off a hotel, so the dressing room was just one of the hotel rooms, which felt kind of weird and hookery. But otherwise, it's been pretty okay. I never did much stuff on the road until I started selling tickets. I never did shitty tour gigs. I stayed in LA and did my seedy gigs there, and by the time I hit the road I was being booked in better clubs.
Describe your best or worst experience with a groupie.
I guess in a way it's an ego boost when girls want to throw themselves at you. But I kinda like to be the aggressive. I feel like that's the dude's job. So any time a girl's been too obvious, it's a little bit of a turnoff to me. I did have one weird thing that happened when I was in Chicago. I was taking pictures after the show, and this girl walks up to me and she's like, "You're my favorite comedian." And then another guy comes up to me, while she's there, and says, "Hey, I'm this lady's driver. I just want you to know that her husband"—and he points to this guy standing a few yards away—"he said that she's totally allowed to sleep with you if she wants, and you're allowed." And the driver looked at me like I was supposed to answer right there. I was like, "Yeah, I can't do that." I came up with this lame excuse, like "I've gotta take all these pictures." I don't know. It was too weird for me. I couldn't get down with that.

The Williams driver concluded his F1 career with a ninth-place finish at Yas Marina, a result that left him 11th in the standings of his 14th season. The Brazilian insisted he was very proud of all he had achieved in the sport. "To be honest I feel happy, I feel proud. I was fighting to the last lap, in the same way I was fighting the first lap of my career," said Massa. "So I'm really happy for the result and for my race today and I am definitely emotional for this moment but proud. Proud for everything I did." He added: "I'm proud of my career, I'm proud of everything I managed to achieve, managed to get. A lot of dreams, a lot of results, a lot of incredible things that happened. "But I'm also proud that I always respected people and I feel a lot of respect. And that's a really amazing feeling." Massa will get the car he raced in Brazil andAbu Dhabi as a parting gift from his Williams team . He joked he was more careful with it now that it was his, having crashed it in the previous race at Interlagos. "It's the same one I raced today.http://www.buffalos-rufc.com/bestlucyholmes/2016/11/27/some-new-guidelines-on-picking-out-root-details-in-interview-body-language/

The 49ers were more competitive against the New England Patriots last week than anyone expected, trailing just 13-10 going into the fourth quarter. On Sunday, Kaepernick was tackled at the 2-yard line on the final play of the game and the Dolphins won 31-24. The Dolphins came in on a five-game winning streak, and the 49ers almost took them to overtime. Kaepernick is playing well without much help. The 49ers have perhaps the worst receiving corps in the NFL. They dont have a competitive roster. Their 1-10 record is not a fluke. But they have been a tough out lately, mainly because of their quarterback. And this resurgence might be setting up an interesting offseason for Kaepernick. The 49ers restructured Kaepernicks contract so he can opt out after the season, or the 49ers can cut him.

Porcelain Veneers Perfecting Kittanning Smiles
Like all dental treatments, the first step to getting porcelain veneers is to have a consultation with Dr. Voller. This is crucial because it allows you to tell Dr. Voller exactly what you want your smile to look like. After a short oral exam, he will use digital imaging software to show you how your smile will look with veneers. He can make any adjustments you want at this time, and you can be confident that you'll be getting exactly what you want.
At your second visit, Dr. Voller will prepare your teeth by removing a small portion of your natural enamel to create room for the veneers. He'll then take an impression of your teeth and send it to his trusted laboratory ceramist. He'll apply temporary veneers to wear at this time, giving you a chance to try out your new smile. If the fit or look isn't what you want, he can easily adjust them.
When you return for your final appointment, Dr. Voller will securely place the veneers using a composite resin. He'll check to make sure your teeth are coming together correctly and after that, you're done! Your new smile is ready for the world.
You'll be included in every step of the process so you can always be sure that you are getting your perfect smile. Our team can also talk with you about financing, as dental insurance typically does not cover cosmetic procedures. Be sure to call our office any time you have questions.

Brought to you by Repertoire Fashion.
As difficult as it might be to admit, Christmas is just around the corner.
Yes, I know I'm being extremely premature offering gift advice when we haven't even had Halloween yet. But getting the job done early is going to leave you with more time to relax and enjoy the festive season with your girlfriends.
It's no secret that men are harder to buy for than women. They fail to drop any hints about what they want and they're frustratingly elusive when it comes to direct questioning. This Christmas, rather than buying DVDs and aftershave in bulk, think outside the box and choose things that he would perhaps not think of buying for himself.
If you ask me, you can't go wrong with clothes as a gift for your boyfriend. Even if he's the sort of chap who's quite assertive when picking his wardrobe, try choosing something he would normally scroll/stroll past when he's doing his shopping.
Take this classic pink shirt from Ralph Lauren. He might not normally pick it up – simply because it's pink – but there's nothing to stop you from adding it to his gift list. He's sure to love it once he's got it on and may even be inspired to buy more pink pieces! You can find more designs like this, in the selection of
at Repertoire Fashion.
The same goes for footwear. Move him away from conventional options, like black or brown leather, with something like these divine olive suede boots by Jeffrey West – available from the fantastic collection of
, also from Repertoire. If he's got any reservations about wearing green shoes, remind him that he'll be firmly ahead of the fashion pack. I especially love the contrasting red laces of these gorgeous shoes. I'm even a little jealous that he gets to wear them!
As well as some fashion items, why not encourage your man to take a little time to pamper himself? This is something that a lot of men would never even consider, so it's a great idea for a Christmas gift.
Genco is a specialist spa for men. They offer a selection of facials, massages and grooming packages, in a relaxing environment. They also offer traditional barber shaves, something which is increasingly difficult to find these days. It's a great way for a guy to spend a few hour and makes for a very unique gift. You can visit their website
When it comes to stocking fillers, why not create a selection of pampering products he can use at home post-shave? Molton and Brown have a wide selection of gorgeous
, including a fabulous black peppercorn range, which has a distinctly masculine scent.
So this Christmas, stay away from horrendous novelty gifts and boring DVD box sets. The items we've put together might not appear on his Christmas list, but he's sure to love the surprises you pull out this year.

The holidays are a critical time of year for many small businesses. As consumers tighten their belts in a sagging economy, companies need to be more creative than ever to get people in the door
San Mateo, CA (PRWEB) October 29, 2008
Jivox, the online video advertising service that helps small and medium-sized businesses reach local customers, today announced a promotion that will assist Main Street businesses reach more customers with their holiday ad campaigns. Between today and December 31, 2008, advertisers that spend $500 with Jivox will receive a $500 credit for additional Jivox online video advertising. To assist companies in developing these holiday ads, Jivox has also added a new library of holiday-themed videos, images and audio to its easy to use ad creative tool. From cute and sentimental images to humorous and fun videos, this new gallery provides a range of options for small businesses to find the perfect fit for their holiday promotions.
"The holidays are a critical time of year for many small businesses. As consumers tighten their belts in a sagging economy, companies need to be more creative than ever to get people in the door," said Diaz Nesamoney, CEO of Jivox. "Taking advantage of services like Jivox to create and distribute locally targeted online video ads can help main street businesses to be competitive this holiday season."
Tips for Creating Video Ads for the Holidays
Online video advertising is growing at a faster rate than any other type of interactive marketing, with companies drawn to the medium because it can generate twice the click-through rate of banner ads. But how can smaller companies create effective, holiday-themed video ads on a budget? Jivox suggests these best practices for creating online video ads for the holidays:
- Keep it simple. Simple, concise ads work best online. Viewers don't want to read large volumes of text on their computer screen. To stand out, your ad needs to be clean and concise.
- Call out the benefits. Research shows that people decide if they want to read more about a topic on a website in 8 seconds or less. Ads that contain specific, immediate benefits, such as a holiday promotion or discount, resonate strongly.
- Be smart about type size. Jivox recommends no more than two type sizes in one ad, with the largest type size on top. Also, never use more than two fonts and avoid using all caps.
- Use relevant visuals. The visuals in a video ad should be eye catching and communicate a relevant message. Clean, simple graphics are more likely to catch the eye of the viewer.
- Test and re-test. Experiment with different creative, formats and messages to find the combination that works the best. Set aside a portion of your budget to test different approaches so that you can see how response rates fluctuate when you change the visuals, call-to-action, price points or add a promotional offer.
About Jivox
Jivox helps small businesses reach customers with online video advertising. Jivox provides advertisers with an online, self-service tool to create high-impact video ads using stock footage, images, music or their existing video assets.

Delhi's Patiala House Court on July 13 extended the judicial custody of Lieutenant Colonel Ranganathan Suvramani Moni and middleman Gaurav Kohli till July 22 and arguments on bail till July 21 in connection with the case
Earlier this month, the court had extended the judicial custody till July 13. Also on June 9, the court dismissed Kohli's bail plea.
The court had earlier sent the officer and Kohli to a 12-day judicial custody to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in this matter.
The officer and the middleman were arrested by the CBI and Rs. 2 lakh were also recovered from the Lt. Colonel's residence. Both the accused were produced in a special CBI Court in Delhi.
An FIR was registered under the Sections 7, 8, 12, 13 (2) r/w 13 (1) (d) of the Prevention of Corruption (PC) Act, 1988 and Section 120B of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
The officers have been charged with criminal conspiracy, demand and acceptance of illegal gratification and using influence over public servants.
A Delhi court on Friday will continue hearing arguments on the bail plea of the accused in the Indian Army transfer posting racket case, in which officers allegedly paid lakh of rupees to manipulate their postings.

BUILDING A LUXURY HOME vs. A LUXURY RENOVATION
Trying to decide whether to build a luxury home or start a luxury renovation? Both options allow you to achieve the home of your dreams, but which is the right choice for you? Lusso Homes is here to give you some helpful advice….
First things first – whether you are looking to build new or remodel an existing home – ensure that you take your time choosing a location. It sounds simple, but we're not just talking about if there are good schools or good transport links nearby. It is important to do some research about the surrounding houses and developments. Are other houses being renovated? Will there be issues with gaining planning permission? Buying a property and investigating later can lead to disaster!
Be sure to evaluate exterior and interior space constraints of potential renovation projects. Many older homes don't have the same design features as more modern properties, therefore you may be constricted by what the current building will allow for. Some people enjoy the challenge of renovating a historical home or like the idea of living in a piece of history and acknowledge (or even welcome) the ups and downs and surprises that a renovation can bring their way. However, if it's a matter of practicality, then you may have to choose your battles as not everything will be feasible and being able to alter your ideas and designs is essential.
When building a completely new, luxury home, the bespoke customisation costs can be rolled into the overall home mortgage, possibly costing a fraction less than the out-of-pocket costs for a remodel. More over, almost all of the construction costs of a new build are zero rated (No VAT to pay) which make an enormous difference to the overall project cost. In many cases, luxury buyers don't have the time to focus on all of the details. An advantage of working with an award winning luxury house builder is that they expert team handle all of the details for you.
It all comes down to what you want out of your property. A bespoke new build can have every feature that you desire and everything will be brand new and gleaming!
If you opt for the new home route then Lusso's specialist design & build team is here to guide you and help make those dreams a reality.
