People have been asking me for the last week what polish I am wearing – this hot red, slightly orangey based is 'In The Red' from Top Shop. It gives a really good even coverage and is glossy finish.
More importantly, I have worn this baby (with Coffret D'or Gel Finish top coat) for 11 days and it hasn't even chipped! This NEVER happens to me!
And I've been giving it a hard time (I am the girl who chipped Shellac within a week) but it's just been wearing SO well. Will I be checking out Top Shop nail polishes? Oh yes.
Have you tried Top Shop nail polishes yet?

At the request of Peterf, I am starting a sticky thread on Depression after spinal cord injury. To kick of the discussion, I thought that perhaps a poll would be reasonable.
No, I was not depressed and never took medication.
Yes, I was mildly depressed and took short-term anti-depression medicaation.
Yes, I was depressed and took long-term anti-depression drugs medication
Yes, I was depressed but never took anti-depressant medication.
At the request of Peterf, I am starting a sticky thread on Depression after spinal cord injury. To kick of the discussion, I thought that perhaps a poll would be reasonable.
I would answer "I was mildly depressed but never took medication" for my own history. One of life's little mercies, as I remember them back then, was that the things one could no longer do were not all noticed at once. Sure, sure, the big ones like walking and such were instantly absorbed by the brain, but there were moments when my brain seemed to block such information and it was not till I was actually at my first softball game post SCI did it really hit me that I would never be playing again. That sort of slow recognition happened over and over again for me at the beginning, which either means I was a little dumb or my mind was protecting myself from the total reality, and only releasing it in bits and pieces to be dealt with as they came up.
I was not depressed, but I was afraid. I did not understand what was going on and nobody told me anything and I cried in my bed at the hospital and at rehab every night. Later I was only happy I was so incomplete and I wanted to do exactly the same things that my friends. Didn't work of course but still.
The second time, when the aging started, I was afraid again and angry because nobody did believe me and nobody understood what was going on. I was very angry for some years. The doctors gave me all kinds of antidepressions but they did not work. I was still angry and afraid until I got the answer and an explaination and I understood what was going on. Thank you, Wise
And when I say angry, I was not angry on anybody or behaved bad, I was only very angry inside. I can still be angry, but that is because I am bored of the whole thing.
So, I have never been depressed but have taken a lot of different antidepressent medication, but not for years.
TH 12, 43 years post
I got situationally depressed a few times, but a good cry usually took care of it. When they told me at the hospital that I had a complete injury at T3, an intern in a chair gave me the advice to concentrate on all of the things that I would still be able to do and not allow the small percentage of things I had lost to rule my life. That helped a lot.
Don - Grad Student Emeritus
T3 ASIA A 26 years post injury
I was really depressed while still in Orlando Regional Medical Center while still in ICU or in a regular hospital room..........I cried every night and thought life was over. My cousin swears I told him (while on a morphine drip in ICU) that if I couldnt walk again that I didnt want to live. I dont remember that.
Once I got to rehab, I was fine. I had excellent therapists that let me know right quick that life was not over and that I could do about anything I did before (besides the obvious things of course) I was paralyzed.
In 2003, 10 years after my accident, I lost my dad and got REALLY depressed. Not only was he my dad but also my best friend. I took an antidpressant for a little while. Effexor.
Started to take long term mild anti-depressant in 2003 (10mg ratio-citalopram so half a pill) but I went 18yrs without.
I was numb for most of my teenage years and intro-verted believe it or not ... total opposite once I got out on my own at 18.
Roses are red. Tacos are enjoyable. Don't blame immigrants, because you're unemployable.

I went 15 years without major depression and now I do take anti-depressants. Central Pain is a factor though.
I also think that I go through stages of depression as I age and each set back I have.
T12-L2; Burst fracture L1: Incomplete walking with AFO's and cane since 1989
My goal in life is to be as good of a person my dog already thinks I am. ~Author Unknown
I still take the drugs since another condition broke through with all of the spare time I suddenly had. I have severe PTSD and the time spent doing nothing but healing, being sick and getting more surgeries let my brain go haywire as my defenses were down from not eating and being in terrible pain.
As a result of the PTSD, I then felt more defective and worthless and so on and so on into the whirlpool getting sucked down the drain to put it melodramatically as I look back on it now. I was bloody suicidal. A person cannot suddenly lose everything and including their livelihood without feeling some despair, but I knew mine was off the charts. I tried medication on and off over the years, but none of the normal stuff seemed to make a dent in the underlying depression I have felt since the 1970's. When I lost it all I was at the end of my rope and was lucky enough to find a doctor through the VA that finally found the right combination of drugs that worked for me. I am not over the moon happy all of the time, but for the first time in almost forty years I can deal with upsets without thinking of suicide all of the time. I take a very low dose of two things, but that death wish is gone from my "normal" (it was for me anyway) thought that dragged me down every day.
Drugs for depression can be a godsend. It took many years to find what would work for me and if it is really necessary for someone else to take them I hope they find the right drug or combination that works for them. It can help. It gave me hope to go on and got rid of the awful destructive mantra that my brain was shouting at me all day long. It shuts off the noise so I can hear other things and new things that call to me now. My newest grandson, my quilting and machine embroidery hobbies, photography and reading. Things that were impossible for me to do before I could control the depression. Things I had no interest in before the drugs enabled me to go on.
I know that there are people here who feel that drugging for depression is not a good thing, but for some of us it is the only thing.
Anything worth doing, is worth doing to excess
Peter wrote to me, and we've been corresponding. This is a touchy subject for me, because I think oftentimes depression is misdiagnosed (by medical doctors- not in the psychiatric field) and all too often people are labeled as being depressed by unqualified people and often end up taking tons of unnecessary medication. Here's the gist of my responses (which I think can apply to many people):
Look, THIS life, with paralysis is a hard life. There's not many people that can truly understand what you're going through. People that were born with disabilities will never know what it's like to have lost all that we were fortunate enough to once have. Able bodied people (even those closest to us) will never fully know the hell we go through every day. You are justified in wanting a normal life. It's not crazy to want to swim, run, have sex, or do simple things (like wiping your own ass). No one knows exactly how it feels to be in your shoes, or the extent of what you've lost. AB friends and family mean well, but they'll never know how impossibly hard it is to have to adjust to an ENTIRELY new life (and to be a different person) overnight. It's not right & not fair that all doctors can do is patch us up, and say "deal with it." If most people really knew how hard life after a spinal cord injury could be, they wouldn't be so quick to judge, or dish out empty advice.
The people here on CC all handle paralysis differently, but in general we understand one another better than most people. I think it's good to be able to vent & to get feedback from other ppl who have been through similar experiences. People on CC might not always agree with what you have to say, but so what? Like you said, we're nothing more than virtual neighbors. Try & let the negativity or judgement roll off you & just pay attention to the people that DO get you.
I get annoyed when people on here (especially people that have been injured for decades) start to get all "preachy" or seem cold, or indifferent. I try not to take any feedack personally, because only you know what's best for you (and vice versa). I take comfort in the ppl that say, they feel the same way as I do. It sucks to know other ppl are out there struggling to move forward after their SCI as much as I am, but it also gives me validation & that I'm not alone.
You're not alone either (for what it's worth). I can't offer you much wisdom (in terms of coping), but I do think it's helpful to vent. You're not crazy, depressed or negative for wanting better for yourself; for wanting what you had. I miss my old life too. I try my best to get through one day at a time. One day I might decide I've had enough, and that'll be my right. In the meantime I'm sharing my story & hoping someone's out there listening.
I think a lot of people (in general) take honesty as being "negative." I don't think it's always the case. While some people in the CC community might very well suffer from depression, or anxiety related to their injuries, I think that people are too quick to jump to conclusions and label everything as "depression" when it is not always the case. Just because you (or I) might feel unsatisfied or unhappy with paralysis, it doesn't mean you (or I) are necessarily depressed.
There are a lot of things about life after a spinal cord injury that suck and that are forced upon on, by our limitations. I don't think it's negative, or wrong to be honest and say "this sucks," or "I hate this." In fact, I would argue that anyone who just accepts such a drastic, life altering change, without complaint or resistance is probably more mentally unstable, than those of us that are disturbed and bothered by all the loss & lack of freedoms that paralysis imposes on us. I think a lot of people don't like to hear the truth, because it's not pleasant, but there are many aspects of living with paralysis that are abnormal. I think you (and I) are justified by being bothered, or upset by the quality of life paralysis forces onto us.
I'd say, if you think you are truly depressed, and your issues are not founded on logical, rational reasons, then you should definitely seek professional help. I recently got a psychiatric evaluation done (I wanted to be declared mentally competent & have in in writing). I also wanted to rule out medication side effects, and depression. My psychiatrist said I'm most certainly mentally competent, with no active signs of any mental illness (including depression). She actually took me off the anti-depressant Pristiq I had been taking, and now I only rely on Remeron & Xananx at bedtime, to help with my insomnia. My issues with being unhappy, or unsatisfied with THIS life (being totally paralyzed) are matters of personal conviction. I feel that my life is being sustained through unnatural means (catheter, bowel program, medication, help from others to bathe, dress & eat). I consider this lifestyle to be a very low quality of life. No pill, or amount of therapy will ever change that.
I'm within my rights to determine what lengths I'm willing to go to, to keep extending my life. That doesn't mean I'm depressed. Not wanting to live THIS way doesn't mean I'm depressed. It all boils down to your personal standards, threshold for physical pain & discomfort and what you deem to be a quality life worth living. By all means, start a group. I think there are people who could benefit from it. However, I'd caution everyone to seek professional advice first.
It's easy for strangers (especially able bodied people) to dismiss your genuine concerns and valid, rational issues by calling you depressed. Often times, I think outsiders (even some medical doctors & nurses - not psychologists or psychiatrists) to use depression as a bandaid, or scapegoat. They can't fix the real problem (the paralysis) so they want to sugarcoat things, stick you on meds and take the focus off the root of the problem, because they are helpless to help you.
Anyway, I wish everyone luck & hope they find the help they need.

I was depressed, and still am depressed thanks to worsening pains and other issues. Antidepressants have been tried, to no avail.
Proofread carefully to see if you any words out.

Justin Bieber Caught Smoking Marijuana?
Caught in the act? Justin, 18, was pictured on Jan. 2, smoking what appears to be marijuana one day after a paparazzo, who died in a car crash, claimed the pop star was smoking pot while driving.
Justin Bieber, 18, was photographed holding what TMZ is calling a "roll-up" as he parties with a few friends in a hotel room in Newport Beach, California on Jan. 2. The release of the photos comes three days after a paparazzo, who made a call to his freelancing photo agency and claimed the Biebs was smoking pot while driving, was killed while trying to photograph Justin.
The photos were allegedly taken on Jan. 2, one day after 29-year-old Chris Guerra was hit by an oncoming vehicle after taking pictures of Justin's white Ferrari, according to TMZ. However, Justin was not behind the wheel of the Ferrari when Chris was killed. Justin's friend Lil' Twist was allegedly behind the wheel and was stopped by police.
Sources as the Newport Beach party told TMZ that Lil' Twist was at the party, where Justin is seen smoking what appears to be marijuana. In the photos, Justin does not appear to still be upset by the death of Chris Guerra — he is seen laughing as his friends drink beer. (Click here to see the pics!)
Lil' Twist and his brother were allegedly rolling all the suspicious cigarettes and passing them around, resulting in "a lot of pot smoke," claims TMZ in their story.
Justin Bieber Tweets About Pot Controversy
Justin tweeted, "I see all of u. i hear all of u. i never want to let any of you down. i love u. and..thank u. like i said…2013…new challenges. new doubters…Im ready. We are ready. see u all tomorrow and everyday after that. goodnight ladies."
HollywoodLife.com reached out to Justin's reps and they declined to comment, however, an insider close to the situation tells us that Justin will "get through" this controversy.
More Justin Controversy — Break Up With Selena Gomez
This isn't the only controversy that currently surrounds Justin. He and Selena Gomez have allegedly broken up — again. TMZ's report suggests that a mystery girl crashed in Justin's hotel room the night of the party, but they don't know if anything more than sleeping went on.

Professional Community for Car Dealers, Marketing, Advertising and Sales Leaders
Our goal is simple: to give people the most relevant answers to their queries as quickly as possible. This requires constant tuning of our algorithms, as new content—both good and bad—comes online all the time.
Many of the changes we make are so subtle that very few people notice them. But in the last day or so we launched a pretty big algorithmic improvement to our ranking—a change that noticeably impacts 11.8% of our queries—and we wanted to let people know what's going on. This update is designed to reduce rankings for low-quality sites—sites which are low-value add for users, copy content from other websites or sites that are just not very useful. At the same time, it will provide better rankings for high-quality sites—sites with original content and information such as research, in-depth reports, thoughtful analysis and so on.
We can't make a major improvement without affecting rankings for many sites. It has to be that some sites will go up and some will go down. Google depends on the high-quality content created by wonderful websites around the world, and we do have a responsibility to encourage a healthy web ecosystem. Therefore, it is important for high-quality sites to be rewarded, and that's exactly what this change does.
It's worth noting that this update does not rely on the feedback we've received from the Personal Blocklist Chrome extension, which we launched last week. However, we did compare the Blocklist data we gathered with the sites identified by our algorithm, and we were very pleased that the preferences our users expressed by using the extension are well represented. If you take the top several dozen or so most-blocked domains from the Chrome extension, then this algorithmic change addresses 84% of them, which is strong independent confirmation of the user benefits.
So, we're very excited about this new ranking improvement because we believe it's a big step in the right direction of helping people find ever higher quality in our results. We've been tackling these issues for more than a year, and working on this specific change for the past few months. And we're working on many more updates that we believe will substantially improve the quality of the pages in our results.
To start with, we're launching this change in the U.S. only; we plan to roll it out elsewhere over time. We'll keep you posted as we roll this and other changes out, and as always please keep giving us feedback about the quality of our results because it really helps us to improve Google Search.
Views: 73
Thanks for posting this update. I've been an advocate for quality blogging, press releases, and community engagement as well as coaching dealers on how to add quality, original content to their websites. This continues to be a strong marketing strategy and as Google increases their inspection processes, dealers who have a content publishing strategy will be rewarded.
You know one thing with Google, life is never boring! This is a great opportunity for all to look at their on-line presence and re-evaluate. Plus there are certain companies out there who, looking to take shortcuts, have employed less than valuable SEO and content.
Great post.

Date: June 22, 2013
Her story: Katherine Cox, 28, grew up in Baltimore. She is an exercise physiologist in the cardiac department at MedStar Union Memorial Hospital. Her mother, Donna Cox, works for the L. Warner Cos. Inc. in Timonium, and her father, David Cox, died in 2001.
His story: Scott Smith, 28, also grew up in Baltimore. He is a senior workplace wellness program manager, or consultant, at CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield. His parents, Jane Smith and Sheridan Smith, are retired.
Their story: Scott and Katie met in May 2009 at Canton Station in Baltimore during a mutual friend's birthday party. Scott was working on Capitol Hill and living in Washington at the time, and it wasn't until a few weeks later — on June 5, 2009 — that they had their first date. After he drove more than two hours through a heavy thunderstorm and Friday afternoon traffic on Interstate 95, Scott took Katie to dinner at Swallow at the Hollow near Belvedere Square.
"He offered up Oceanaire and James Joyce, and all those places in Harbor East, and I think I kind of said I was more laid-back," says Katie.
Following that, Scott and Katie's next few dates were at Camden Yards for Orioles games.
"We love baseball, and we grew up playing softball and baseball," Katie says. "It was definitely an easy bonding part right there."
The proposal: On Aug. 24, 2012, Scott proposed to Katie with a ring from Smyth Jewelers. Coincidentally, it was Cal Ripken Jr.'s birthday, though Scott says that wasn't planned.
"It was just an ideal Friday night," he says.
Scott and Katie had just bought a house together, so the proposal caught Katie by surprise.
"I had absolutely no idea. We were focused on getting the house and all the excitement with that," she says. "It was a good surprise."
The venue: About 125 guests attended the traditional Mass held at St. Pius X Catholic Church, which is near where Scott and Katie live in Rodgers Forge. For the reception, they both knew that they wanted a venue in downtown Baltimore, and as baseball lovers, Camden Yards was their first choice.
"The fact that we both kind of grew up there, it has a sense of family already for us," says Katie.
A cocktail hour was held on the rooftop bar at centerfield and the reception took place in the B&O Warehouse.
Her dress: The bride wore a lace, A-line tulle gown with lace straps and a sweetheart neckline by Watters from Betsy Robinson's Bridal Salon in Reisterstown. She wore a bracelet that was a bridal shower gift from her younger cousin and a diamond heart necklace that her dad gave to her mom shortly before he died.
Bridesmaids' dresses: Each woman wore a pale yellow or pale gray chiffon floor-length gown from Alfred Angelo Bridal. Those in yellow dresses wore gray shoes and those in gray dresses wore yellow shoes.
Men's attire: The groom and groomsmen wore gray tuxedos from Jos. A. Bank. Scott wore a gray-and-white striped tie, and the groomsmen wore yellow ties.
Decor: "I wanted it to feel like we were outside in the summertime," says Katie. She collected vases and candles to place on the tables, which had white linens. A seating chart displayed a baseball card and number of a past or present Orioles player for each table, accompanied by a list of guest names.
Special touch: As part of a wedding gift, Scott surprised Katie with an appearance from the Oriole Bird during the cocktail hour. Scott and Katie later spent time on the field taking pictures and playing catch.
Flowers: Crimson & Clover Floral Design Inc. of Roland Park created the bouquets, centerpieces and boutonnieres using daisies, wildflowers and succulent plants. Katie had her dad's cross tied into her bouquet.
Music: Dan McGinty of Beat 2 Beat DJs entertained the guests. Scott and Katie's first dance was to "Only You Can Love Me This Way" by Keith Urban.
Dessert: Woodley Bakery, where Scott often went with his grandparents when he was growing up, made the four-tier cake with buttercream frosting.
"To be able to use that as a reminder of my grandparents — my dad's parents who have both passed — was pretty cool," Scott says.
Favors: Each guest received a box of Cracker Jack tied with a tag that read, "Thank you for joining us on our opening day as Mr. & Mrs. Smith."

Beyonce and Jay-Z are looking to buy Michael Jackson's Neverland ranch.
The 'Love on Top' singer and her rapper husband were given a tour of the £18.7 million ranch in Santa Barbara, California by owner Thomas Barack Jr, according to The Sun newspaper.
The famous 3,000-acre ranch - which was named after the fictitious magical island in children's story 'Peter Pan' - was home to the late King of Pop between 1988 and 2005 and has largely been abandoned since the singer's death in 2009.
Beyonce, 31, and Jay-Z, 43, spend most of the time in the rapper's home state of New York with their 13-month-old daughter Blue Ivy, but also spend some months as a family in Beyonce's hometown of Houston, Texas.
Meanwhile, the 'Single Ladies' hitmaker opened up about her marital life in an interview with Oprah Winfrey on Saturday (16.02.13), telling the talk show host that she "would not be the woman I am if I did not go home to that man".
Appearing on 'Oprah's Next Chapter', she said: "You know we were friends first for a year and a half before we went on any date - on the phone for a year and a half. And that foundation is so important in a relationship. And just to have someone that you just like is so important and someone that is honest."
Beyonce also starred in a self-produced HBO documentary, 'Life is but a Dream', which aired in the US on Saturday and gave fans a rare glimpse into her life.

For Immediate Release, June 4, 2012
Justin Augustine, Center for Biological Diversity, (415) 436-9682 x302
California Endangered Species Act Protections Restored for Black-backed Woodpeckers
SAN FRANCISCO— A California superior court judge has ratified a settlement between the John Muir Project, Center for Biological Diversity and the California Fish and Game Commission that restores California Endangered Species Act protections to black-backed woodpeckers.
In January, without clear justification, the commission issued a regulation allowing the killing of these rare woodpeckers despite the fact that the species had just been designated as a "candidate" for protection under the California Endangered Species Act. (In California, state candidate species receive many of the same protections as listed species in order to protect them while they are considered for listing.) Not only does the court's order eliminate the commission's wrongful regulation, it should also have far-reaching future implications: From now on the commission must fully explain and justify any harm it authorizes to candidate species.
"Luckily for black-backed woodpeckers, and all future candidate species, the commission can't wantonly allow the killing of these animals anymore," said Justin Augustine, an attorney with the Center. "The intent of the California Endangered Species Act has always been to protect, not harm, candidate species, and this settlement should finally ensure that the commission complies with the Act."
Over the past 18 years, on nine other occasions, the commission has adopted nearly identical regulations to the one issued this year for the black-backed woodpecker. These regulations allowed the killing of other candidate species, such as coho salmon and Pacific fishers, but as with the woodpecker, provided no real justification for doing so. As a result of the lawsuit by the John Muir Project and the Center, this longstanding practice has come to an end.
Black-backed woodpeckers now need help because of logging policies in California that allow for the widespread destruction of both pre-fire and post-fire habitat the birds need to survive. Black-backed woodpeckers are found in the forests of the Sierra Nevada mountains, and in December 2011 the California Fish and Game Commission accepted for consideration a petition from the Center and the John Muir Project to list the black-backed woodpecker as threatened or endangered. Now a one-year review of the species' status is under way, and early in 2013, the commission will decide whether to officially list the species.
A copy of the petition to list the woodpecker can be downloaded at www.biologicaldiversity.org/species/birds/black-backed_woodpecker/index.html.

The first talk of my final day at AAAS was one I was uniquely qualified to attend, at least among my Nobel Intent colleagues. Titled "Improving Public Understanding of Engineering: From Research to Practice," it looked at what the public thinks about engineers, and how to re-invent the public face of the field. I'll start off by saying this was an interesting panel; it consisted of engineers, educators, and marketing experts. The overall goal was to find a way to attract more people to engineering—especially women and under-represented minorities.
The first talk of the morning was by Patrick Natale, a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers, and it focused on how the public perceives engineers and engineering. The first question that he posed was why? Why should we—the collective engineering societies (Chemical, Civil, Mechanical, and Electrical)—seek to improve the public understanding of engineering? Mr. Natale detailed a three-fold answer: improved technical literacy in the United States, the potential to draw students into science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields of study, and finally to increase US competition on the global scale.
Before one can seek to improve the public perception of engineering, one needs to know what that perception is. The National Academy of Engineers (NAE) carried out a survey to find out, and the results were summarized as four key points that need to be addressed:
- There is no public face to engineering
- Many kids see engineers as desk jockeys
- Many kids want a well paying job that makes a difference
- Engineers are not seen as directly helping people
In order to combat this perception, the NAE sought to construct a message that was coordinated, consistent, and effective. To test which message was most efficient, they again turned to on-line surveys to see which had the broadest public appeal across many demographics. After compiling the responses, the message "Engineers make a world of difference," was the most appealing to both adults and teenagers. At that point the talk ended, but it left me with what I felt was an obvious question: "Now that there is a message, how will they [the NAE and engineering socities] get it out to the masses?" Mr. Natale hoped that the message would be given out by industry, universities, and the engineering societies through their advertising, which should reach the broadest base possible.
While this was an answer to my question, I am not sure if it was the best answer possible. It reminded me of an episode of the television show "The Wire," where a university professor wanted to start an intervention program for at-risk youth in Baltimore and went to the school system to meet with 17 to 18 year olds. After being laughed at by teachers and police, they introduced the professor to an 18 year old who had already spent a good deal of his life as a drug runner, and who was facing serious jail time for multiple violent offenses. At this point the researcher decided he might need to re-adjust his sights to younger children and begin the intervention earlier in life.
Now, I am sure many wonder where I am going with this, but I see a painful analogue to the situation with engineers and messages. I had never seen an engineering publication from a university or company, nor did I even knew that engineering societies existed until I was 17 and already enrolled in an engineering program in college. All the engineers I knew—and went to school with—knew, or thought, they wanted to be engineers when they arrived at college. In my opinion, this new public message about engineering needed to be focused at a younger audience.
Engineering for the Younger Crowd
The next pair of talks sought to do just that. The first was by Suzanne Jenniches, an engineer with the Northrop Grumman Corp. She focused on women in engineering and particularly how to attract young women to the field. According to research she presented, 61 percent of high school senior boys were ready to handle an engineering curriculum in college, while 57 percent of high school senior girls were similarly capable. However, this near parity falls apart when you look at enrollment numbers in U.S. colleges and universities. Nearly 80 percent of engineering students are men, and this percentage holds fairly steady all the way from enrolling freshman to those granted doctorates in engineering.
Ms. Jenniches focused on what may be some of the root causes of this gender disparity by looking at the message engineers generally give to young people. She highlighted two major themes that people take away from talking to engineers: that engineering is stressful and challenging, and that engineers stress the importance of superior science and math skills. The message that engineers put out is not relevant to what high school girls want to hear.
To combat this, she unveiled two initiatives to reach out to young girls who could be interested in science and engineering at a younger age. The first is Engineer Girl, a website that is focused on revealing the faces and stories of successful young women in engineering. The site is geared towards middle school (aged 11 to 13) girls and invites them to find out more about engineering and to view profiles of young women (in their 20s) who are practicing engineers. The second is the Engineer Your Life website, a site similar in scope to Engineer Girl, but more focused on high school and teenaged girls who have an interest in, or want to learn more about engineering.
The next talk sought out an even younger age group for an introduction to engineering—elementary school children (ages 5-10). Given by Christine Cunningham of the Museum of Science in Boston, the talk discussed the Engineering is Elementary (EiE) initiative that is being carried out in hundreds of schools across the country. This work first asked a question: what do children think engineers do? The overwhelming answers were: build bridges/houses/roads, fix cars, use or fix computers, and drive trains. While rather logical answers, they are clearly not quite right.
The EiE initiative sought to integrate engineering and technology concepts into the already existing elementary science education. It was designed for both teachers and students, and consists of a series of books that, instead of focusing directly on a field of engineering, target a technology problem or area of science that highlights an engineering field. Some examples are: sound for acoustic engineering, solids and liquids for chemical engineering, and electricity for electrical engineers. The program showed that when kids took a "test" of what they thought engineers did before and after going through this program, there was a marked difference. After the test, a statistically significant portion of the children were able to correctly identify what engineers did and worked on in their professional life. To me, this program seemed to have the potential to make the biggest impact.
Professional Marketing Ideas for Engineering
The remainder of the talks were vastly different, as they were given not by engineers, scientists, or educators, but by marketing professionals. These are the hitmen engineers need to talk to to really get their message out to the public. The first speaker in this series was Susan Traiman, the director of Education and Workforce Policy at the Business Roundtable, a Washington DC based thinktank. She discussed work her organization was doing with a marketing firm to make math and science more palatable to a teenage audience. The message they were trying to send out was that "math and science touch nearly everything in your everyday life."
The final speaker was Mitch Baranowski, of Bemporad Baranowski Marketing group, and he gave a talk on how engineering can overhaul its image in a professional manner. He stressed the idea that engineering needs a brand, and pointed out how easily famous brands were recognizable—as examples he showed the Nike swoosh and the Apple apple—things everyone knows on sight. He suggested many of the same things that the NAE work and previous speakers did: namely that engineering needs to move beyond math and science to creativity, and that there needs to be a public face to engineering. He felt that the campaign needed to be directed at six to twelve year old children.
When it comes to cost, he suggested that a campaign of the magnitude needed by engineering would cost upwards of 12 to 25 million dollars per year, and would need a two to three year commitment. While expensive, this is a small sum compared to the upwards of 400 million that the NAE spent each year on an advertising campaign that has gotten little in return, as the first talk disclosed.
With the grand challenges of engineering ahead of us, the US and the world need all the engineers they can produce. It seems that engineers as a group need to both teach children what they do and keep people interested through their teen years, to the point where they enter college or university to begin training to be engineers.

Hi and welcome, The pictures don't work, but your Kettwiesel is probably from before 2006, so this manual should fit: hasebikes.com/files/kettwiesel2003_deutsch_1.pdf For going uphill on loose ground probably only a newer Kettwiesel with a differential would do. But maybe lowering the pressure of your tyres would help. (Of course that increases the friction on a normal street) For your seat I think you already did the right thing. Other options: Here you can get the raw material to make your own…
Pino + Shimano STEPS
The Steps motor for the Kettwiesel is 2500Eur extra, including the modified boom, the Pino starts at 3900Eur, so probably not below 6400 for a Pino with Steps (probably more, since Bikes in general become significantly more expensive next year ) The current price list is valid since January, so I wouldn't expect the new list to arrive to soon.
The pictures are fine. 5 years old sounds about right, I'll check it tomorrow. I would go for this manual: hasebikes.com/files/kettwiesel-de-en-08-14.pdf The one that was originally delivered with your Wiesel is older, but that one still applies. It just has more information and is more detailed. But maybe @Stephan Moldenhauer should check the year of your Wiesel with the number, as there has been a recall (hasebikes.com/files/rueckruf_antriebsschrauben.pdf) for all Wiesel from 2010 and 2011.
Quote from Ghnarumen: "OK. That's a remarkable talent What do you need to see in the picture? " The talent is limited to compare your Wiesel with pictures in catalogues Probably one good picture from the front/right-side is enough, so that I can see the wheels, the seat, the frame colour, maybe stickers or the type of the crank.
I can if you can post a picture. With the number only Hase themself can tell you the year, but they only check here every now and then.
Pino + Shimano STEPS
You should wait just 2 more weeks until the Eurobike fair is over. There Hase will announce all news for the next year.

Anything helps. How much yo need really depends on your personal situation, the road, your weight, how you adjust your seat and so on. Also the way how you pedal has influence. If you have a Nexus or Rohloff put your seat in the lower position. If possible put the back rest in an upright position. Try to pedal in a smooth, round way. Additional weight would be most efficient if it's added as low and in front as possible, so I would try to use the Lowrider mounts of the fork. Take a piece of Lead…
Tagun Versions
The Tagun is basically a 2 wheel version of the Lepus. So all details of the Lepus should apply.
Sorry, I don't have any first hand information or a picture. I only assume that there is one, as I would be more than surprised if they made a special frame just for the nuvinci and there is a special mounting adapter for the Rohloff and one for the Nexus. At the end of the month is the Eurobike fair where Hase traditionaly presents the new catalogue for the next year and all new things they invented over the year. So probably in 3 to 4 weeks it should be possible to find pictures. And for the s…
Lepus wheel size
The oldest information I have is about 10 years old. And by that time the Lepus came already with 20 inch rims and disc brakes. I assume that the smaller wheels and the disc brakes came together (because I never saw a Lepus with small wheels and rimbrakes or the other way round), probably between 2000 and 2004, as discs were relativly uncommon before that time. Hase startet 1994 (20 years anniversary at the moment!) and the Lepus came 1995 (see history section on the Hase page). So proably that'…
I don't know how old your Lepus is. That's why I posted the above picture. I would be more than surprised if they had changed the frame for the nuvinci. So they created an adapter. If your Lepus is like the one on the picture you can use the adapter. If you have an older model the adapter will not work.
Lepus wheel size
Hi. I have no idea when they made the old 26 inch version, but I can check in a few catalogues I have if I can find something. You can find some pictures here (quick google search): velomobilforum.de/forum/index.…lta-trike-verkauft.16994/ mark-wohlrab.de/liegerad.htm sonne-und-wind.de/liegp <- select Lepus on the left
I guess it's so new that you won't find it before the start of the next season (which will be around September). Regarding a retrofit of the Nuvinci into your Lepus, I guess, if your Nexus is mounted like this: lepus_nexus_opt.jpg it's probably possible. If it looks different on your Lepus, it probably won't fit.
Creaking from boom clamp
Spawn - - KettWieselPost
Like at the seat: Is it clean there? Do you use a torque wrench to tighten the boom? If the boom is to loose, it could creak and also get demaged.
How old is your Kettwiesel? Do you ride a lot in dusty or wet conditions? I would take the seat cover and the seat tubes off and clean the tubes and the sockets in the frame. Also check for any damages like a crack in the sockets or similar. Then put it back on and hope the noise is gone.
Quote from anthill: "OK, so if I understand this right: - The Pino Steel has a 30mm inside-diameter head tube and a 1" threaded headset. - I could convert it to 1" threadless, with a suitable stem clamp replacement. - It's impossible to change the headset to 1-1/8", because the head tube is too small? " correct (afaik) Quote from anthil: " Strange, because in the photos, it almost looks like the Pino is using a ZeroStack 44mm inside diameter head tube!" Correct. But the frame is not the same. At…
no, you can"t replace one with the other. I guess, Stephan just wanted to avoid talking about "Mk2" as for some people it might not be clear which one that is. So Pinos with a threaded headset (like yours) need a fork with 1" tube. If you want to switch from threaded headset to ahead while swapping the fork this is probably possible, but you'll need a new headset and something to replace the not existing stem to prevent the fork from falling out. The cap of the headset is probably not enough. Bu…
This is how Hase mounts all forks at the moment: pino_spinner_grind_opt.jpg It's kind of an adapter that comes between the ford crown and the headset baseplate. But it actually requires an extra hole to be drilled into the fork's crown. Getting this Adapter and the necessary fron part of the steering should be possible as a spare part via a Hase dealer.
The Phonenumber of Hase is Tel.: +49 23 09 – 93 77 0 but this is just the generic number and not a "servic" number. Maybe you sent them an email, descibe your problem and ask for a number (and time) you can call for your specific issue: firstname.lastname@example.com

Behind The Scenes At Dolce Vizio, The Tiramisu Bar In Manhattan
It's easy to be charmed when you walk into Dolce Vizio, the first tiramisu bar in New York City. The great thing about tiramisu—it's three amazing things, cream, alcohol, and coffee all in one simple dessert.
Owner Nadia Tade let me into her kitchen, and started the day off by assembling a raspberry tiramisu, followed by a classic. She also showed me how people can create their own tiramisu with ladyfingers soaked in different sauces and about a dozen different toppings.
Check the slideshow out for a peek into their kitchen.

A statue of Mahatma Gandhi will be erected outside the Palace of Westminster in Parliament Square in London.
The chancellor, George Osborne, and the foreign secretary, William Hague, announced the plans in New Delhi at Gandhi Smriti, a memorial on the site of his assassination.
The tribute to the civil rights leader, who studied in London, will be a mark of his continuing legacy inspiring non-violent movements around the world, they said.
Osborne said: "As the father of the largest democracy in the world, it's time for Gandhi to take his place in front of the mother of parliaments. He is a figure of inspiration, not just in Britain and India, but around the world. New Indian prime minister Modi invoked his memory in his inaugural speech to parliament.
"I hope this new memorial will be a lasting and fitting tribute to his memory in Britain, and a permanent monument to our friendship with India."
The statue will stand alongside monuments to other statesmen in the square, including Nelson Mandela, Sir Winston Churchill and Abraham Lincoln.
The government hopes it will be erected next year, funded by charitable donations and sponsors, with leading sculptor Philip Jackson, renowned for statues of the Queen Mother and Bomber Command, approached to take on the project.
Hague said: "Gandhi's view of communal peace and resistance to division, his desire to drive India forward and his commitment to non-violence left a legacy that is as relevant today as it was during his life.
"He remains a towering inspiration and a source of strength. We will honour him with a statue alongside those of other great leaders in Parliament Square."
The statue will become a focal point for commemorations next summer on the 100th anniversary of Gandhi's return to India from South Africa to start the struggle for self-rule, the government said.
The UK culture secretary. Sajid Javid, who is leading an advisory group to support the project, said: "My parents were born in British India with first-hand experience of partition. The effect it had on millions of people contributed to my decision to take up public service.
"Celebrating Mahatma Gandhi's reverence and greatness, a man who fought equally for everyone, in the form of a statue in Parliament Square is a fitting tribute. No matter what your background, history or religion, this statue will allow people from around the world to look upon him and appreciate his endeavour and successes for humanity."

LAPD Officers
Labor Day is a National holiday to celebrate the strength and esprit de corps of the trade and labor organizations. Unfortunately, Labor Day weekend has become a holiday associated with the overindulgence of alcohol and drunk driving. To ensure a safe Labor Day Weekend, the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) recommends the following tips:
- Plan a safe way home before the festivities begin;
- Designate a sober driver;
- Leave your car keys at home;
- Call a taxi, call a friend or family member, or use public transportation to ensure you get home safely;
- Call 911 if you see a possible drunk driver on the road; and,
- Take the car keys away from someone who is about to drive impaired and assist them in getting home safely.
For further information, please contact Officer Don Inman, Traffic Coordination Section, at 213-486-0703.

A Guide to the Frances Tarlton Farenthold Papers, 1913-2016
Biographical Sketch
Frances "Sissy" Tarlton Farenthold was born on October 2, 1926, in Corpus Christi, Texas. Her father B. Dudley Tarlton, Jr., an attorney, was the son of Judge Benjamin D. Tarlton, Sr., Chief Justice of the Texas Court of Civil Appeals, state legislator, professor at the University of Texas at Austin (UT) School of Law, and namesake of the UT Tarlton Law Library. Farenthold graduated from Vassar College in 1946 and the UT Law School in 1949. She began her career in politics in 1960, campaigning for John F. Kennedy as president and serving on the Corpus Christi City Council's human relations commission until 1965. After serving two years as director of the Nueces County Legal Aid Program, Democrat Farenthold was elected as representative for Nueces and Kleberg counties in the Texas Legislature (1968-1972). She also ran twice for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination against Dolph Briscoe (1972; 1974) and became the first serious, and third ever, female nominee to be the Democratic candidate for the U.S. vice presidency, placing second out of seven.
During her tenure as a state legislator, Farenthold promoted civil and women's rights, co-sponsoring the Equal Legal Rights Amendment with State Senator Barbara Jordan, and supported environmental protection for beaches, bays, estuaries, and Mustang Island. When opposing Governor Preston Smith's efforts to expel people registering Mexican Americans to vote in Del Rio, she marched in support of the registration on Palm Sunday in March 1969. With the emergence of the Sharpstown stock fraud scandal, in which Houston banker Frank Sharp was accused of bribing lawmakers in 1971, Farenthold joined other representatives, named by their opposition as the "Dirty Thirty." The group proposed a resolution for an investigation into the roles played by Texas House Speaker Gus Mutscher and other legislators in the scandal and into the history of the bills Sharp was accused of promoting through bribery. Although the bill did not succeed and redistricting eliminated Farenthold's district, Mutscher was found guilty of his involvement in the scandal, and Gov. Smith's and Lt. Gov. Ben Barnes' political careers were essentially ended by the scandal.
After leaving politics, Farenthold continued to support humanitarian causes, including peace activism and opposition to the Vietnam War and the nuclear disarmament and the nuclear waste disposal movements. She also served as a human rights observer in Iraq, El Salvador, Honduras, South Korea, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Cuba, and the former U.S.S.R.
After teaching law at Texas Southern University, Farenthold served as the first female president of Wells College in Aurora, New York (1976-1980). With numerous national female political figures in 1971, she co-founded the National Women's Political Caucus, an organization dedicated to increasing women's participation in government and achieving equality for women, which elected Farenthold as its first national chair in 1973. Five years later, she established the Public Leadership Education Network to support an increased representation of women in government through educational programs for female college students interested in careers in public policy. Upon her return to Texas in 1980, Farenthold opened a law firm and began teaching law at the University of Houston.
In 1950, Farenthold married George Farenthold, and before divorcing in 1985, the couple had five children, including Dudley (b. 1951), George, Jr. (b. 1952), Emilie (b. 1954), and twins Vincent Bluntzer Tarlton (1956-1960) and James Robert Dougherty "Jimmy" (1956-1989?).
