In Part I of this series I provided a basic introduction to dealing with cerebral palsy. I also provided Maryland parents with a comprehensive list of places that are able to assist parents. In Part II I discussed educating children with cerebral palsy and provided a list of places to turn if you need help. Today we will take a look at some of the medical treatments available for cerebral palsy.
Medical Treatment
Cerebral Palsy cannot be cured, but treatment can often improve a child's capabilities. Progress due to medical research means that many patients can enjoy near-normal lives if their neurological problems are properly managed. There is no standard therapy that works for all patients; the physician must work with a team of other health care professionals to identify a child's unique needs and impairments. Typically, an individual treatment plan is created to addresses them. As a general rule, the earlier diagnosis and treatment begins, the better chance a child has of overcoming developmental disabilities or learning new ways to accomplish difficult tasks. The goal of treatment is to help the person be as independent as possible.
Treatment requires a team approach, including:
- Primary care doctor
- Dentist (dental check-ups are recommended around every 6 months)
- Social worker
- Nurses
- Occupational, physical, and speech therapists
- Other specialists, including a neurologist, rehabilitation physician, pulmonologist, and gastroenterologist
Treatment is based on the person's symptoms and the need to prevent complications. Self and home care include:
- Getting enough food and nutrition
- Keeping the home safe
- Performing exercises recommended by the health care providers
- Practicing proper bowel care (stool softeners, fluids, fiber, laxatives, regular bowel habits)
- Protecting the joints from injury
Putting the child in regular schools is recommended, unless physical disabilities or mental development makes this impossible. Special education or schooling may help.
The following may help with communication and learning:
- Glasses
- Hearing aids
- Muscle and bone braces
- Walking aids
- Wheelchairs
Physical therapy, occupational therapy, orthopedic help, or other treatments may also be needed to help with daily activities and care.
Medications may include:
- Anticonvulsants to prevent or reduce the frequency of seizures
- Botulinum toxin to help with spasticity and drooling
- Muscle relaxants (baclofen) to reduce tremors and spasticity
Surgery may be needed in some cases to:
- Control gastroesophageal reflux
- Cut certain nerves from the spinal cord to help with pain and spasticity
- Place feeding tubes
- Release joint contractures
What is important, however, is that an individualized approach be taken for your child.
Query: Does your child have cerebral palsy? What medical treatments are you providing for your child?

variation of 7979 for Claire
Added May 11, 2009
by cristinalanz
London, United K...
A friend left the office a few month ago, and my sewing "teacher" and I decided to use the opportunity to make a project together…
the pattern was the 7979 Jonny on, but unfortunately another friend who does not sew chose the fabrics, which were so thin that ripped as we tried to sew them… for months we pretended that the dress was not there, but finally decided to face it back in our own terms. so we changed materials and modified some of the details on the pattern… I will post my mark ups soon..
Material Notes
The top is white linen
The skirt is a wrinkled paper looking like cotton I bought in an African fabrics shop.
For the neck and cuffs we chose a contrasting material from my grandma´s "tresure box"…
the buttons are black cristal… a bit dear but look gorgeous :-)
To all those who shared the pain :-)
Particularly Rachael and Valerie for pinning, ironing and modelling for us

Hello! I love this dress design, and wanted to try making it! I was wondering if you had any instructions on this dress? The link is only what is on this page. Also, when printing out the pattern, does it piece together by number if you're printing it at home? Thank you so much for your time and advice! Thanks! -Annette

I'm taking this pattern and making it into just the skirt for an anime inspired school type of uniform. I loved the design and the fact that I'm making most of the main pieces for the uniform out of duct tape will be interesting!

All News Releases By Date
THURSDAY: EPA to Hold Public Meeting on Hydraulic Fracturing Study in Fort Worth
Release Date: 07/06/2010
Contact Information: Dave Bary at 214-665-2200 or firstname.lastname@example.com
(Dallas, Texas – July 6, 2010) On Thursday, July 8, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is hosting a public listening session on the Agency's proposed study on hydraulic fracturing and its potential impacts on drinking water. The meeting will provide information about the proposed study scope and design. EPA will solicit public comments on the draft study plan.
Members of the public are requested to pre-register at least 24 hours before the meeting at http://hfmeeting.cadmusweb.com/ or by calling 1-866-477-3635 toll-free.
Local credentialed media are requested to pre-register at least 24 hours before the meeting at firstname.lastname@example.com with Hydraulic Fracturing R.S.V.P. in the subject line.
WHAT: EPA Public Listening Session on Hydraulic Fracturing Study
WHEN : Thursday, July 8, 2010
6:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m.
WHERE : Hilton Fort Worth
815 Main Street
Fort Worth, TX
Hydraulic fracturing is a well stimulation process used to maximize the extraction of underground resources – oil, natural gas and geothermal energy. By pumping fracturing fluids (water and chemical additives) and sand or other similar materials into rock formations, fractures are created that allow natural gas or oil to flow from the rock through the fractures to a production well for extraction.
Natural gas plays a key role in our nation's clean energy future and hydraulic fracturing is one way of accessing this vital resource. However, serious concerns have been raised about the potential impact of hydraulic fracturing on drinking water, human health and the environment. To address these concerns, EPA announced in March that it will study the potential adverse impact that hydraulic fracturing may have on drinking water.
To support the initial planning phase and guide the development of the study plan, the agency sought suggestions and comments from the EPA Science Advisory Board (SAB) - an independent, external federal advisory committee. The agency will use this advice and extensive stakeholder input to guide the design of the study.
The Fort Worth meeting is the first of four public meetings EPA will hold on the study. The other meetings will be held in Colorado, Pennsylvania and New York.
More information on the study is available at: http://epa.gov/safewater/uic/wells_hydrofrac.html

Today was Apple's announcement of its cloud music system. It was a pretty major one and it offered one feature that neither Google or Amazon have, the ability to scan and match any song in a user's library. This was originally a feature that mp3.com offered and was the reason they were sued out of existence. Apple negotiated very carefully to get the rights and the payoff is big. Instead of storing the user's files they are just serving a copy from their own database.
The downside is that it seems to be device based so you can't really access it without an iOS device or computer with iTunes. Its also limited to songs that are recognized by iTunes. For Apple users its pretty much a no-brainer but for everyone else there needs to be a good reason to justify using it. Here are two possible reasons.
1.) Fixing Old Rips
I'm probably not alone in having old CD rips of less than stellar bitrate. I didn't really care at the time because PC sound wasn't all that great to begin with. Apple's matching service offers a very nice upgrade in sound quality for only $25 (although limited to 25K songs) and far less work than digging out a box of CDs and manually re-ripping. It'll still be time consuming but much less so.
2.) Laundering Music/Getting Around the Rumored Google Cloud "Authenticity Check"
Since the Google Music Beta started there's been rumors illegitimately obtained music might get flagged and removed if uploaded. One way to avoid that would be to obtain "clean" copies from Apple first, assuming there is no similar check being performed by Apple. To be safe, it would be a good idea to remove any suspicious looking comments from files using program such a Media Monkey before any uploading takes place. I'm not recommending that anyone do this, but with the way Apple has structured their offer it seems to be essentially an offer of amnesty from the four major labels and for the price quite an affordable one at that.
Apple's Match service won't launch until some time in Fall so the details may change and Amazon and Google may still catch up.

One way to access the multiple listing service for Niagara Falls, New York, is to go through a Realtor, according to About.com. People selling their properties themselves can also pay a set fee to a discount broker, and the broker enters the information into the MLS database.
Realtors also make their listings partially available through their websites and other sites, says the National Association of Realtors. Data that might lead to loss of privacy or safety for sellers is omitted from the public listings. Such data includes the sellers' contact information and the times they are out of the homes for showings.
The MLS information that the public can access is frequently outdated, limited and wrong, reports About.com. To get the most updated and accurate listings, a buyer or seller should ask his Realtor to customize a comprehensive search report, which is not the same as a customer copy. The real estate agent supplies the customer's email address and search criteria into the database, and the customer gets information that is as live as possible, which he cannot get elsewhere. Ways that a buyer customizes a search include by ZIP code, subdivision, number of bedrooms, number of bathrooms and by amenities such as pools.

Splitting up, the party has Nikolas go air-born to attack the Warhound from the Jade Dragon, while Alt and the guards grab a nearby APC and drive it towards it, leaving Sharae by her lonesome with her servo-skulls. Coming up with the brilliant idea to have the servo-skulls place melta-bombs on the Titan, the party attempts to distract it and stay alive long enough to execute their plan. With a few strikes, Nikolas deals heavy damage to the Warhound's shields at the beginning, but after taking a few hits from it's Vulcan Bolter, begins to feel that he may be messing with to much. Luckily, Alt in his APC distracts the Warhound long enough for the servo-skull to place a charge and fly off. Going off, the bomb leaves a large hole in the Titan, almost causing it to fall. It takes on more hit in the hip before the Titan finally falls, causing a massive explosion and leaving nothing but a smoking 120 meter crater.
Soon the forces are routed and the party goes back up to the Tempest for a much needed rest. But they still must be debriefed, as the exhausted party goes for that. At the debriefing, tensions rise between the Magos and Sharae and Alt manages to talk the Admiral into granting them a little bit more on their gifted Sword. It is also revealed that the rebels seem to be working with Nero's Empire, an empire ruled by the Renegade Marines of Crimson Spartans, and their chapter-master, the insane and self-proclaimed Emperor, Nero.
As if things couldn't get worse, after 8 weeks of being in orbit, waiting for the Sword to finish getting prepped for it's maiden launch, an Inquisitor from the Ordo Malleus named Inquisitor Kane has landed on the Tempest. He hopes to find out about a strange Warp surge in the area around the time the party arrived in the system, Alt and Thale begin feeling slightly on edge.

Get DVD Talk Feeds
For every documentary that delves deep into a fascinating topic and
brings interesting facts to light for the viewer, there's another
that seems to wander off and get lost. Celts: Rich Traditions and
Ancient Myths is one of the latter: a program with a great topic
and lots of potential that squanders that potential in
disorganization and a shallow treatment of the topic.
With six 52-minute episodes to cover the topic of "the Celts,"
this documentary certainly has plenty of time to get a grip on its
material. In general, I suppose we could say that Celts is an
examination of the rich cultural heritage of the Celtic peoples, from
their Indo-European origins all the way to the present day in areas
like Ireland and Wales. The episodes (and their topics) are, in
order, "The Man with the Golden Shoes" (Celtic origins),
"The Birth of Nations" (more on Celtic origins), "A
Pagan Trinity" (religion), "The Open-Ended Curve"
(art), "The Final Conflict" (language preservation), and
"The Legacy" (Celtic influences). But although the topics
can be summarized concisely, that's not to say that the episodes are
well focused... far from it.
The main fault here (and it's a major one) is the abysmal
organization of the program. It's never clear where any given episode
is going; each one seems like a random assortment of facts, short
interviews with various experts, and historical re-enactments that
take place with little context. Without knowing what the connecting
thread is among all these elements, it's very difficult to stay
interested or to make any real sense out of it. The first episode is
a prime example. To begin with, it has the baffling title "The
Man with the Golden Shoes," which we eventually find out refers
to a Celtic burial... not that that has anything to do with the
overall content of the episode, which is roughly the early origins
and expansion of the Celts. Within the episode, we hop from one
archaeological site to another without any context or clear
organization (either chronological or geographical). We spend a
bafflingly long time watching the autopsy of an ancient body found in
a peat bog, but this section is never connected to the overall
material; later, we'll hop over to another burial and see more random
grave goods, then discuss the Roman battles against the Celts. Where
is all this going? Nowhere especially interesting, I can assure you.
The other episodes are sadly very similar in their lack of
organization. One of the consequences of this is that it's difficult
to get a sense of either chronology or geography for the events that
are discussed. Another consequence is that some of the material ends
up being repeated; for instance, the Roman-Celtic conflict is gone
over several times superficially.
Sadly, there ends up being very little of substance here even if you
can stomach the utter disorganization of the program. The constant
jumping around from place to place and time period to time period
makes it next to impossible to sustain a coherent explanation about
anything. Adding to the "puffed out" flavor of the program
are the "cute" scenes with the narrator in a modern-day
setting that is apparently intended to draw a connection between
modern and ancient times, such as him at a typewriter when he's
discussing messages being sent between rulers. These little scenes
fall flat, seeming silly and pointless rather than informative.
Celts: Rich Traditions and Ancient Myths also seems aimed at
an audience with certain particular preconceptions about the Celts.
The narrator frequently takes a rather defensive tone about how the
Celts have been under-appreciated, or misunderstood, or stereotyped,
and he seems to take for granted that the audience will have
particular, incorrect assumptions about what the Celts were like.
Since I didn't know a whole lot about the Celts, but also didn't
share this mysterious set of prejudices either, it made for a rather
odd feeling, as if I weren't the intended audience for this program
at all. This approach wouldn't have been a problem if the program
itself were rich in content, but as it is, it's the final nail in the
coffin for Celts: Rich Traditions and Ancient Myths.
Celts: Rich Traditions and Ancient Myths is a two-DVD set;
however, I can't comment on the packaging as the studio only sent
screener discs.
This 1980s-era production has suffered the usual ravages of time and
hasn't been perked up (at least not noticeably) for its DVD transfer.
The image is faded, with colors looking rather gray and wan, and the
picture is very soft and blurry. Some print flaws also appear, and in
general the impression is of a worn and somewhat tired image, though
it's watchable. The program is presented in its original 1.33:1
aspect ratio.
The 2.0 soundtrack squeaks by with an average mark, mainly on the
strength of the lovely musical soundtrack by Enya. The narrator's
voice, and that of the various people interviewed, is usually
adequately clear, but at times it gets muffled. The sound also has a
tinny quality at times. The music, however, always sounds nice.
The musical soundtrack by Enya is by far the best part of Celts,
and the producers of the DVD seem to have realized this: nearly all
of the special features have to do with her and her music, rather
than the content of the documentary.
Disc 1 has two featurettes. The first,"Gaelic Weekend: A Musical
Journey Around Ireland," is a mysterious 30-minute piece that
follows an unnamed group of musicians around Ireland, combining music
with various scenic shots of the landscape and people. There's no
explanation of what this is, and no narrator. The second is a
four-minute interview with Enya.
Disc 2 has a 15-minute television clip on Celtic culture, "Nationwide
Celtic Connections 5." What this has to do with Celts: Rich
Traditions and Ancient Myths is unclear, except that it's on the
same topic. We also get a 17-minute featurette, "Val Doonican's
Enya Interview and Performance," which, as the title suggests,
is a combination of a short interview and footage of Enya singing.
We also get trailers for Building the Great Pyramid, Blue
Planet, and The Life of Mammals.
its interesting topic, Celts: Rich Traditions and Ancient Myths
falls flat, with disorganization and lack of solid content making
this documentary both uninformative and uninteresting. A lackluster
transfer means that it's not even particularly attractive to look at.
The only good part of the program is Enya's lovely music, but for
that, just get one of her CDs. Skip it; there are better
documentaries out there.

text: Zhisong Wang, a professor of physics at Texas A&M University in College Station and at Fudan University in Shanghai, China, has engineered a molecular locomotive. Powered by nothing more than light, the machine would chug along a miniature track and deliver molecular building blocks with nanometer accuracy.Before a ticket can be booked on the molecular express, though, there's the small challenge of building it. So far, the locomotive exists only in theory. Wang, who described the device in the Sept. 15 issue of Physical Review E, points to earlier work at the University of Munich in Germany on single-molecule optomechanical energy conversion as a good place to start in the development of an actual micromachine.The theoretical locomotive is a molecular chain with specific optomechanical properties. A laser would be fired at the locomotive, causing the leading edge to undock from the track. Firing a second pulse would cause the chain to stretch, reaching the next node on the track. After a brief period, the free end would reattach to the track. Another laser pulse, operating at a different wavelength, would undock the trailing end. A final pulse would shrink the molecule, and the free trailing end would reattach. In this fashion, the locomotive would have moved forward, inchworm fashion, by one node.Repeating the process would send the locomotive forward, and changing the sequence of pulses would cause it to reverse direction. Cargo could be tethered to the molecule via a bond, enabling the precise movement of freight. Because an external laser would control the locomotive, it would be fairly powerful.As for building this little train, demonstrating a few steps should not be difficult. The challenge will involve continuously and automatically running the locomotive.

- The Mystic Knights of Adonis parade starts at Kabel and Gen de Gaulle.
- Proceeds northwest on Gen de Gaulle to Holiday Dr.
- Turns left (southwest) on Holiday Dr. Holiday Dr. becomes Behrman Hwy.
- Continues on Behrman Hwy and takes a right on Carol Sue Ave.
- Goes down Carol Sue Ave. until it meets Terry Pkwy. and turns right (north)
- Continues on Terry Pkwy. until Wright Ave. where the parade ends.
Founded in 1999, The Mystic Knights of Adonis shares only a similarity in name to The Mystic Krewe of Adonis which paraded in Orleans Parish during the 1950's.
Adonis was the epitome of male beauty, admired by mortals and gods alike in Greek Mythology.
This Krewe is comprised of 200 male and female riders, 16 floats, marching bands and can be seen on the Westbank in Jefferson Parish.

In 1991, Paul won another Emmy Award for Outstanding Graphics and Title Design in his work on Pee-Wee's Playhouse.
In 1988, Paul won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Art Direction/Set Direction/Scenic Design in his work on Pee-Wee's Playhouse.
Paul appeared in the music video of Elton John's single "This Train Doesn't Stop There Anymore", taken from John's album Songs From the West Coast. In the video Paul plays the manager of a younger Elton, who in turn is played by Justin Timberlake. The music video and single were released in late 2001.
In the 1970s, Paul performed at local comedy clubs and made four guest appearances on "The Gong Show." He later joined the Los Angeles-based improvisational comedy team "The Groundlings" and remained a member for six years, working with Bob McClurg, John Paragon, Susan Barnes, and Phil Hartman. Paul and Phil have become friends and have been working and writing on material together. Paul wrote sketches and developed his improvisational skills. He also forged a significant friendship with Phil, with whom he developed the "Pee-wee Herman" character.
Paul was the voice of Golly Gopher in Cartoon Network's first original feature film Re-animated which premiered December 8, 2006 and combines live action with animation.
Paul appeared in the second video for the first single "Steady As She Goes" by the Raconteurs, which is a side project by White Stripes guitarist Jack White. The second video features Jack and bandmates Brendan Benson and Patrick Keeler competing in an old-fashioned soapbox derby race, with Paul acting as a devious pit boss who will do whatever it takes to ensure a win for his racer played by Raconteurs bassist Jack Lawrence. The video premiered in June 2006.
Paul had a chance to be involved in the influential urban drama Boyz 'N the Hood when director John Singleton (who at the time was a security guard on the Pee-Wee's Playhouse set) offered him a chance to look at the script, but Paul never took him up on his offer. He now thinks if he would have looked at the script it could have changed his career.
Paul is currently writing two new Pee-Wee films. One is a Pee-Wee's Playhouse movie and the other is a movie about Pee-Wee in the high price of fame.
Paul is good friends with actress, Cassandra Peterson, better known as horror hostess Elvira. She had a cameo as the "Biker Mama" at the bar in his film, Pee-wee's Big Adventure. Paul intended to return the favor with a cameo in her film, Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, but scheduling conflicts prevented this from happening.
Paul was visiting a Warner Bros. movie set and could not help but notice nearly everyone was riding around on bicycles, so he jokingly asked them when he would get his. The studio obliged and presented to him a restored 1940's Schwinn. The gift of the bike inspired Paul to abandon his previous movie script and he began writing a tale of Pee-wee's love for his bike and his quest to recover it after it is stolen, which became the landmark film of his career, Pee-wee's Big Adventure.
Paul's Pee-wee Herman character is known for his squeaky high-pitched speaking voice, his child-like mannerisms, and his trademark chuckle "Ha Ha" laugh.
Paul is a 1970 graduate of Sarasota High School in Sarasota, Florida. He also attended one year at Boston University before going to Hollywood.
Paul is an eccentric collector of everything from lamps and fake food to grease containers.
Paul played FBI Agent Bob in Danny DeVito's directed children's film, Matilda, based on author Roald Dahl's novel about a girl with telekinetic abilities.
Paul co-starred with actors Johnny Depp and Penelopé Cruz as Derek Foreal in the 2001 biographical crime drama, Blow.
Paul had a role acting alongside Michael Keaton, Michelle Pfeiffer, Christopher Walken, and Danny Devito, in Tim Burton's 1992 film, Batman Returns as the father of Batman's nemesis, the Penguin.
Paul played 'Pinocchio' in the episode, Pinocchio, of Shelley Duvall's acclaimed HBO children's series, Faerie Tale Theatre.
Paul's award winning film, Pee-wee's Big Adventure had a 1988 sequel, Big Top Pee-wee, about a circus which lands in Pee-wee's backyard. Although it had a better cast, the sequel lacked the light-hearted playfulness and magic present in the first and did not do well at the box office.
Paul was the host, Troy Stevens, for the short-lived 2001 game show, You Don't Know Jack, based on the popular computer game of the same name.
Paul provided the voice of Dennis in Disney's 2004 animated film, Teacher's Pet.
Paul was part of all-star cast including Ben Stiller and Janeane Garofalo, in the 1999 comedy, Mystery Men about a band of inept superheroes. Paul portrayed 'The Spleen,' a superhero with the gypsy-cursed ability to knock people unconscious with his highly noxious flatulence.
Paul's children's show, Pee-wee's Playhouse received 22 Emmy Awards during the time that it aired.
Paul is widely known as starring as Pee-wee Herman in the CBS live-action children's program, Pee-wee's Playhouse, which lasted several seasons from 1986-1990, which Paul acted in, produced, and directed. Although the show aired Saturday mornings, it had a budget of $325,000 per episode - the same as that of a primetime sitcom.
When Paul signed his contract with CBS to air his children's show, Pee-Wee's Playhouse in 1986, they gave him full creative control except for three exceptions he agreed to. He was forbidden to say, "If you show me yours, I'll show you mine"; he could never walk around with toilet paper stuck to his shoe; and he was not permitted to stab potatoes with pencils.
Paul had a memorable cameo as Pee-wee Herman in the Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello comedy film, Back to the Beach.
Paul reprised his role as the voice of Lock in 2005, for the Tim Burton film-inspired game, The Nightmare Before Christmas: Oogie's Revenge for PlayStation2 and Xbox.
Paul was the voice of Lock (the devil-costumed child of the trio of misfits known as 'Lock, Shock and Barrel' who work for Oogie Boogie) in Tim Burton's cult classic 1993 stop-motion animated musical film, The Nightmare Before Christmas.
Paul played Citizen's Patrolman Rick in the episode Rick's On It of Comedy Central's law-enforcement comedy series, Reno 911. Rick wore a cape, gloves, and a red beret decorated with various pins and spoke in a raspy whisper voice throughout the entire episode. At the end, when Officer Dangle played back a voice recorder of Rick making chicken noises, Paul broke character on the recording to deliver his trademark "Pee-wee Herman" laugh.
Beginning July 10, 2006, Cartoon Network's Adult Swim begin airing episodes of Paul's popular children's program, Pee-wee's Playhouse. The network has acquired all 45 original episodes as well as the Christmas special. The renewed interest in the show prompted Paul to make several television appearances (as himself) during the month on the talk shows, The Late Show with David Letterman and Late Night with Conan O'Brien and media news programs, VH1's Best Week Ever and Entertainment Tonight.
Paul made a memorable appearance as Pee-wee at the 1991 MTV Video Music Awards, months after his arrest for masturbation charges, when he asked the audience, 'Heard any good jokes lately?' to the response of a standing ovation.
Paul (credited as Paul Mall), was the voice of Max, the robotic commander of the spacecraft, in Disney's 1986 film, Flight of the Navigator.
Paul auditioned for the 1980-1981 season of NBC's popular sketch comedy show, Saturday Night Live but wasn't accepted into the cast.
He was a former Marine Corps with an honorable discharge.
Paul Reubens was arrested on 7/27/91 in his hometown of Sarasota Florida, charged with indecent exposure, while viewing the adult film "Nurse Nancy."
Paul: I thought Pee-wee Herman worked better if one didn't know that I was an actor. So I went out of my way to try and get the public to think that that was a real person.

10 Eccentric Monty Python TattoosBy JenTheRipper
If you love British Comedy, you will adore these tattoos.
Monty Python tattoos pay a tribute to the most bizarre and funniest British comedy group.
If you love absurd and surrealistic humor, you certainly could be a fan of Monty Mython. The visual tricks of Terry Gilliam and the phlegmatic madness of John Cleese, Graham Chapman, Eric Idle and their friends have made a mark into the imagination of their fans, hence Monty Python tattoos. And these tribute tattoos are as eccentric and hilarious as the sketches and movies of the group! If you know the lines of the Holy Grail by heart and looking for Pythonesque inspiration, bring out the Monty Python tattoos!

This Look Keo Flex Pedals is no longer available although you may find similar or newer versions below:
The KEO Flex is ideal for beginners who wish to acquire their first automatic (clip-in) pedals and is the first automatic (clip-in) one-piece pedal combining the body and lever in one piece.
|Time Trial:
This major innovation patented by LOOK is at the heart of their design of this easy-to-use, secure pedal. With this new spring-free design they have created new sensations for cleat insertion and removal.
The use of composite material and a simplified design make the KEO Flex one of the lightest and least expensive pedals in its category. Cleat removal is by flexing the two outside clips of the KEO Flex lever. The central lever maintains the cleat in position during pedaling and facilitates cleat insertion. The tension of 8 Nm is suitable not only for novices using automatic pedals but also for leisure use.
The KEO Flex spindle was specially designed for this pedal. It comprises a single ball bearing (12mm interior x 21mm exterior) and a bush. LOOK spindles are only validated after a rotation test lasting 1 million cycles at 100 r.p.m. with a load of 90 kg on the centre of the pedal and off-centre rotation (which creates a shock at each revolution). This test is markedly better than the current standard: EN14781.
Visionary in creating the first automatic pedal in 1984, LOOK has always stood for passion, innovation, and performance. Their portfolio of riders is like no other including legends like Hinault, Lemond, Bugno, Boardman and Laurent Jalabert. LOOK products enhance performance with maximum style. Over 35 people work within LOOKs research and development department including world-class rider Laurent Jalabert. LOOK engineers have worked with composite material for over twenty years; they built the first monobloc carbon frame and monobloc carbon forks. Enthusiast, Road Racer, Triathlete or Dualthlete, LOOK is the brand to take your performance to that next level.

Following the heinous crime at Sandy Hook Elementary the New York Daily News (NYDN) ran a cover page blaming America; following the May 23 shooting deaths of three people in Santa Barbara, California, it has done the same thing.
On March 20, 2013, the NYDN ran a cover page bemoaning the fact that Congress was not passing Senator Dianne Feinstein's (D-CA) 'assault weapons' ban in the wake of the heinous crime at Sandy Hook Elementary.
The caption of the cover read: "Shame on U.S. – Assault-Weapons Bill is Dead"
On May 26, three days after Elliot Rodger shot and killed three people in Santa Barbara, Newseum shows that the NYDN ran a cover bearing the caption:
His family saw ALL THE SIGNS of a son ON THE EDGE, but cops said he was fine. He BOUGHT HIS GUNS LEGALLY. The NRA would've called him a MODEL gun owner. And then he became a MASS MURDERER.
This is how the left sees our country.

Prinkk uses latest Adobe technology
Wednesday, September 02, 2009
Press release from the issuing companyPrinkk is a powerful web2print application that harnesses the new text engine in Flash Player 10, to enable printers to offer their clients DTP-type editing of templates. The software is released for sale today, following six months of beta testing with The Stroke Association.
Tom Robinson is the managing director of Prinkk. Tom said: "Most web2print systems use a form-filling method. This limits online creation to simple documents. When you enable users to edit paragraphs on the page, in real-time, it opens up self-service production of much higher-value, complex documents, such as brochures and catalogues."
The Text Layout Framework component in Flash Player 10 has been exploited by Prinkk to offer what Adobe describes as 'delivering print-quality typography for the web'.
As part of the two-year development process we've created a business-to-consumer site at www.prinkk.com. This is a showcase for our software, an opportunity for prospective clients to play with the product, and it's a great way to get feedback from real users.
Templates are created by running a script from InDesign, and uploading the resulting files. Because there's no form to build, the template creation process is easy for a printer to do themselves.
Seeking re-sellers
Tom said: "We're in discussion with one of Europe's largest web2print developers about them incorporating Prinkk into their existing software. It'd be great to speak with anyone who'd like to talk about a similar relationship, or is interested in re-selling Prinkk software in their area."

Reading can be doubly isolating. First, it is inherently a solitary practice. But there is also the secondary isolation that comes from reading's cultural marginalization: the difficulty of finding people who not only read as you do, but read what you do. I think most serious readers have a desire to discuss what they've read with others, but those others can be so hard to find. The internet has been a boon for this, but I think we also know that online discussion doesn't compare to in-person discussion.I would like to make a case for social reading. A lot of people seem to view picking up a book in a social context as exclusionary, or even rude. Beyond the simple remedy of reading aloud, or listening to an audiobook as a group, reading can also be a social activity. Here is the radical premise:
It is possible, perhaps even desirable, to read quietly to yourself in a room in which other people are reading, and to feel like you are spending quality time with those people.
That's right, I am talking about reading as a social activity. Imagine spending a few hours at a friend's house, reading on comfortable furniture and occasionally going for more snacks. One friend chuckles as she hits a particularly delectable passage. Another is completely absorbed in her book, which she is reading on her e-reader. A third has finished his book and moved on to one of his backups. The predominating sounds are pages turning and cats purring (it's my fantasy, so there are cats).
After some time has passed, reading time may end in favor of games and conversation. For some people, it may not end until they prepare to go home. Far be it from me to interrupt someone who is nearing the end of their book. At some point, the readers may wish to discuss books in a spoiler-free manner. This kind of gathering--a shortened version of which could be held at a local coffee shop--would counter both kinds of isolation described above. Not only does it provide a built-in discussion group, but when you see friends reading (and enjoying) books, it acts as a forum for recommendation.
At my library, one of my co-workers hosts a book discussion group in which she previews upcoming titles and each member comes prepared to talk about the books they've been reading. A "book discussion" doesn't necessarily mean that all present have read the same book. At many of the personal book club meetings I've attended, there are usually several people who haven't read or finished the assigned book, which somewhat defeats the purpose of meeting to discuss it. Why not have a gathering in which everyone gets to read what they want to read, and discuss it if they feel like talking about it?
Suggested guidelines for social reading (conceived with assistance from friends on Twitter):
- Limit reading aloud, even if the passages are the best ever. Mark them to share later.
- Avoid talking. Most people like to read in relative quiet.
- No spoilers during discussion time.
- Bring a backup book or three.
- Turn off the wireless capability.

It was time for Possum to have a buddy so I put the word out to Liz, Possum's rescue Mom. Since I was a known Good Kitty Mommy I was offered a little jewel of a kitten. Her name was Lilith. Possum took right to her. But as is the case with any rescue kitten, the first round of yuckiness that cropped up when she came to the rescue was barely under contol when the next loveliness showed symptoms. So, she was on medication when I had to go out of town for work. Thankfully Mom volunteered to take care of her.
See, she had fallen in love with her at first sight, renaming her Penny. Mom simply couldn't bring her back to me. But no matter really as there was another kitty at the rescue when I picked up Penny that I couldn't resist. He gets his own post. He's Possum's buddy, just what I set out to accomplish.

Single action tilt
Single action tilting, supplies the chair with a simple tilt movement pivoting around one tilting point beneath the seat. The mechanism can be fitted on a chair with fixed angle between the backrest and the seat, but function also well in a construction where the backrest can be adjusted independent of the seat. The distance between the pivoting point and the center point of the seat define wheter the mechanism function merely as a tilting device or as a knee tilt.

If you have never made homemade pita bread before you should give it a try. Really easy but so rewarding when it puffs up like this! Here's the best recipe I've found so far.

Hi guys,
Only two words: Foundation. Washes.
Those colours are absolutely amazing and are a great and easy way of getting your miniatures painted quickly with a nice outcome. I never saw a possibility for using the washes with my marines or the fire warriors as I think the best way to use is with more organic structures like Trotzki had that with his daemons. And at the moment I don't want to start a completely new army and so I decided to get myself some kroot mercenaries for the Tau and I wanted to paint something really quickly and get the finished models as soon as possible without compromising the quality of the paintjob.
I used Knarloc green as base colour, graveyard earth for the "clothes", snakebite leather, scorched brown and bleached bone for the other brown parts and of course boltgun metal for the gun. I painted all that first and then washed the green and brown parts with devlan mud und the metal parts with badab black. And thats it. Nice methinks.

text: Through-out my career, either as a management consultant or as an industry executive, I have always been fascinated by the potential, business processes offered to organizations to excel at the marketplace. So, when I worked on Business Process Management Systems (BPMS), I was certain, that BPM Systems would play the role of central nervous system in IT architectures of every organization. Through my blogs, I will share my views about Business Process Management Systems from the justification to evaluation to implementation. Businesses always look at ways and means by which they can attain strategic, and operational supremacy so that they can achieve and sustain leadership position at the marketplace. Business Processes have long been considered as a tool to achieve business excellence. Various process centric initiatives such as Business Process Re-engineering (BPR), Total Quality Management (TQM), Activity Based Management (ABM), Six Sigma have been undertaken by business corporations. Just as there have been success stories, there also have been a large number of failures resulting these initiatives being branded as Hypes, & Buzzwords. All these initiatives have following important components: Process Improvement : Identifying process & policy bottlenecks, issues, root-causes, and defining new & improved processes & policies. Depending upon the initiatives, the improvement targeted was either moderate & continuous or radical/significant Process Execution: Carrying out business processes in-line with the new processes Process Measurement: Defining, Measuring & Monitoring Performance Measures or Performance Indicators leading to Process Improvement. These initiatives were supported by Information Technology (IT) at various phases of the lifecycle. For example, Process Improvement phase would require a process-mapping/simulation tool, which would facilitate definition & analysis of business processes and its components (Supplier, Inputs, Process, Customer, Output, Process Cost, Process Cycle Time, Activity Constraints, Business Rules, etc.). Process Execution and Measurement phases were supported by Workflow systems and/or packaged or custom- built integrated transaction processing systems such as ERP systems. One of the primary reasons why initiatives such as BPR or ABM did not succeed was because these initiatives were not adequately supported by Process Execution & Process Measurement infrastructure. There would always exist a significant deviation between the designed and documented improved business processes & policies and the actual business processes being executed. Also, the measurement framework was based on manual MIS, which was extremely inaccurate. Processes and policies could not be IT enabled, which meant that process measurement framework consisted of manual registers. As a result the benefits achieved on account of these initiatives were significantly lower than the ones promised or targeted at the outset of these initiatives. In free markets, product and service offerings tend to get commodotized. Customer service then becomes a key differentiator for organizations to survive in the marketplace. Customer service is a derivative of organizational core value chain business processes from Marketing management through after sales customer support and service. They reflect the collective (of human & systems) intelligence of the organization and always differ from organizations to organizations and industry to industry. Thus, in a competitive environment organizations would be required to be customer centric, focusing and improving upon their value chain processes. A customer centric organization would also need to be extremely agile. In order to be customer sensitive it would need to operate in environment where it is closely integrated with its customers as well as suppliers/partners. Process Outsourcing is gaining ground. Not only are organizations outsourcing its support value chain activities but also part of its core value chain activities. In this environment, business processes would span beyond the boundaries of the organization but also very dynamic continuously undergoing change. For this reasons organizations would require process management infrastructure, which will allow them to: - Define and discover business processes - Execute business processes - Measure and Modify/Improve business processes

Grainy Low-fat Cranberry Nut Bread
This bread is loaded with antioxidants and Vitamin C, because of all the cranberries and orange juice that goes into it. Cranberries are very good for women, they help us with our menstrual health - they reduce cramps, help in yeast infections and UTIs, etc.
I buy cranberries in fall when they are abundant in local european-style produce store Milk Pail. I then transfer them in freezer ziploc bags and freeze them. They last me all the way until the next fall!
Grainy Low-fat Cranberry Nut Bread
This is my submission for Saffron Trail's WBB# 7: Baking for Breakfast
1 .25 cups all purpose flour
0.75 cup whole wheat flour (substitute with all purpose flour if not on hand, reduce baking powder by 1/4 tspn too in that case)
1 cup sugar
1.5 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
0.5 tsp baking soda
3/4 cup orange juice (no or low pulp)
1 tbsp grated orange peel or orange extract
2 tbsp shortening
1 well beaten egg
1.5 cups fresh/frozen cranberries
0.75 cups nuts (walnuts / pecans)
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. In a bow mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda.
3. Stir in Orange juice, orange peel / extract / shortening / egg. Mix well with hand whisk until blended
4. Stir in cranberries (I dont even chop them) and nuts (I get the halves from costco, and dont chop these either)
5. Turn into a greased (with butter) 9 x 5 inch loaf pan
6. Bake for 55 minutes to 1 hour or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean
7. Cool in the pan on a rack for 15 mins, then remove from pan. This is important, this resting time eases the loaf out from the pan.
8. When cooled down, cut into thick 1 inch slices. I individually wrap these up in sandwich ziploc bags for easy portability to work for breakfast with some yummy soymilk.
