You want to get strong and fit, but you don't have a lot of time to exercise. Enter kettlebells. In just 20 minutes, these cannonball-shaped weights with a handle on top offer a workout that delivers more fat-fighting and body-toning benefits than doing 30 minutes on the treadmill and 30 minutes of traditional weight lifting, according to research from the American Council on Exercise. This revved-up toning session features dynamic, multimuscle moves. Unlike typical strength exercises in which you lift and lower weights slowly while keeping the rest of your body still, you swing the kettlebell rhythmically through full-body motions to get your heart rate up fast and target more muscles, especially in your core. The result is a speedy routine that triples your calorie burn up to 400 calories in 20 minutes.
What's more, our kettlebell-inspired routine (you can do it with a dumbbell too), created by personal trainer and Prevention columnist Chris Freytag, is designed to produce maximum results with minimal risk of injury. And it delivered: When 2 dozen women road-tested it, they lost up to 11 pounds and 15 inches in just 3 weeks. Even better, they loved the workout! "I heard the word fun used more than I ever had to describe a routine," says Freytag. "Getting in a rhythm with the swings and doing little tosses makes it less boring than just hoisting weights and gives you a little bit of that cardio high." In addition to three kettlebell workouts a week, our test panel did 20 minutes of cardio on alternate days, and half of the group also followed a healthy eating plan.
Whether you have 20 or more pounds to lose, are struggling with those last stubborn 5, or want to firm up, now you can ring up results in just 20 minutes a day!
THE EXPERT: Chris Freytag is a board member of the American Council on Exercise, star of many Prevention Fitness Systems DVDs, and author of Prevention's 2-Week Total Body Turnaround.
Kettlebell: Anatomy of a Super Slimmer
Unlike a dumbbell, in which the weight is equally balanced when you hold it, a kettlebell is asymmetrical. With most grips, your hand is set away from the heaviest part of the kettle bell, so you work harder and activate more muscles.
Handle: Most common spot to hold, so you can swing the bell and pass it from hand to hand.
Horns: Alternate grip, especially if you're holding the bell upside down.
Base: The heaviest part of the bell. Gripping it here provides more stability.
Watch the kettlebell workout now!
WHAT YOU'LL NEED: A kettlebell, or you can substitute a dumbbell. Our testers used an 8.8-pound (4 kg) kettlebell and felt that it added to the fun and novelty of the routine. You'll also need a watch or timer, as well as space to swing your arms freely on all sides, including overhead (about 4 square feet).
3 DAYS A WEEK: Do the Kettlebell Workout (below) on nonconsecutive days. Do the Main Moves twice through for 16 minutes total. Then stretch for 2 minutes.
3 OR 4 DAYS A WEEK: Do 20 minutes of cardio, such as brisk walking, lap swimming, running, dancing, or bike riding. You should exercise at an intensity at which you're breathing hard but can still speak in short sentences. Do cardio on the same day as kettlebells for longer workouts or on alternate days for shorter workouts.
EVERY DAY: Watch portions and fill up on whole grains, vegetables, fruits, lean protein, and healthy fats to maximize results. Aim for 1,600 to 1,800 calories spread evenly throughout the day.
Kettlebell: Ground Rules
Follow these technique and form tips for safer toning:
STAND TALL: Keep shoulders back and down, chest lifted.
CONTRACT YOUR CORE: Before beginning each move, tighten your ab muscles as if someone threw very cold water on your belly. Maintain this contraction throughout the exercise, but don't hold your breath.
STAY IN CONTROL: Move rhythmically, but don't fling the weight.
Stand with feet hip-width apart for all three exercises. You can do these with a lighter kettlebell (or dumbbell) or no weight at all if you want to ease into the workout more slowly. The warm-up will take you about 2 minutes.
Targets abs and back
Hold kettlebell upside down by horns with both hands, arms overhead (A). Keeping shoulders down, chest forward, and abs tight, rotate torso from waist in a circle to the left (B). Kettlebell should make small, controlled "halos" overhead. Repeat for 20 seconds (about 6 circles), then switch directions.
Half Squat
Targets hips, butt, and thighs
Hold kettlebell by horns with both hands in front of chest (A). Shift weight onto heels, bend knees and hips, and sit back, as if lowering halfway into a chair (B). Press into heels and stand back up. Repeat for 40 seconds (about 40 squats)
Round the World
Targets shoulders and arms
Hold handle in left hand, arms at sides. Swing weight around back and pass kettlebell to right hand behind you (A). Continue circling around front, passing it back to left hand (B). Repeat counter-clockwise for 20 seconds (about 12 circles). Switch directions for another 20 seconds.
1. Squat and Swing
Targets hips, butt, and thighs
Stand with feet more than hip-width apart and hold handle with both hands, arms down, palms in. Sit back into a squat (A). Then press into heels, straighten legs, and thrust hips explosively upward to swing kettlebell up to shoulder height (B). Keep wrists in line with forearms. (Arms and shoulders should move as levers, rising and falling with momentum, as hips do the work.) As weight swings back between legs, squat. Repeat for 1 minute (about 45 swings). Next do single-arm swings, passing kettlebell from hand to hand at the top of each swing, for 1 minute (about 44 swings).
MAKE IT EASIER: Use a lighter kettlebell (or dumbbell) or no weight at all.
2. Pivot and Point
Targets shoulders and back
Stand with feet hip-width apart, palms together (prayer position) with handle hooked over thumbs, arms extended overhead (A). Turn on heels so entire body faces right side. (Keep head up, shoulders back, abs tight, and back straight.) At the same time, lower arms to shoulder height (base will rest on wrists) (B). Turn back to center, raising arms overhead. Repeat to left side. Alternate sides for 1 minute (about 20 reps).
MAKE IT EASIER: Skip the overhead portion. Hold weight in front of chest and extend arms to point to side as you pivot.
3. Lunge and Loop
Targets arms, abs, butt, and legs
Hold handle in right hand, arms at sides, palms in. Stand with right foot 2 to3 feet in front of left, toes pointing forward, back heel off floor. Bend knees, lowering toward floor, as you pass kettlebell under front leg to left hand (A). Then pass it over leg to right hand as you straighten legs (B). Continue for 30 seconds (about 18 loops), then reverse arm direction for 30 seconds. Switch legs and repeat.
MAKE IT EASIER: Just pass weight back and forth underneath leg each time you lunge instead of looping over the top.
4. Windmill
Targets shoulders, back, and abs
Hold handle in left hand and stand with legs wide, left foot pointing to side, right one forward. Extend right arm overhead, left arm at side (A). Bend at waist to left and lower kettlebell toward left shin (B). Imagine you are standing between two panes of glass to keep body in line; don't roll forward or back. Slowly stand up, using core muscles to lift. Repeat for 1 minute (about 20 reps), then switch sides.
MAKE IT EASIER: Use a lighter kettlebell (or dumbbell) or no weight at all.
5. Squat Catch, and Press
Stand with feet more than hip-width apart and hold handle with both hands, arms extended toward floor. Sit back into a squat (A), then press into heels and stand up. Use the momentum created by the hip thrust to help pull weight up (elbows will bend out to sides as you lift bell). As weight reaches chest height, slide hands down to grab base (a slight tossing motion) (B). Press weight overhead (C), then lower it to starting position, sliding hands back to handle. Repeat for 1 minute (about 20 reps).
MAKE IT EASIER: Don't press kettlebell overhead.
To bring your heart rate down and loosen up after your workout, spend 2 minutes stretching.
Shoulder Stretch
Stand with feet hip-width apart. Reach right arm across chest and grasp right forearm with left hand. Gently pull right arm to feel a stretch in right shoulder and across upper back Hold for 20 seconds, then switch sides.
Hip Stretch
Targets abs and back
Begin on hands and knees. Slide left leg back, straightening knee, top of left foot is on floor. At the same time, bring hands back toward right knee and slide right shin to left, pressing right hip and left thigh toward floor to feel a stretch in these areas. Hold for 20 seconds, then switch sides.
Hamstring Stretch
Lie on back with knees bent, feet flat on floor. Extend right leg toward the ceiling, foot flexed. Grasp thigh with both hands and gentle pull leg toward chest to feel a stretch in back of thigh. Hold for 20 seconds, then switch sides.

And now for the latest report from your Namco Bandai crossover collaboration DLC expert, me. Thankfully for you people sick of [email protected]-themed DLC*, the latest update for Ace Combat: Assault Horizon is for an anime property non-creepers might actually like: Macross (aka Robotech). In celebration of the seminal transforming mecha anime's 30th anniversary, Namco Bandai are releasing two skins for the F-14 Tomcat match the color schemes of the legendary VF-1 Valkyrie Variable Fighters (aka Veritechs). Check out some pics of it below.
As nerds know, the VF-1 series' design is based heavily on the F-14 Tomcat, what with the swinging wings and all. The VF-1S version of the skin even includes the Skull Squadron logo on the tail, for all you would-be Roy Focker-types. Sadly, the skins do not add the ability to transform your jet into GERWALK or Battroid (aka Guardian or Battloid mode to westernized fans) modes. Even more sadly, the skins will not be available outside Japan, due to the licensing-rights maelstrom that swallows any attempt to bring Macross to the west. You may now begin shaking angry fists at the gods of trademarking and copyright.
*Actually there is some new [email protected] DLC, namely skins for Yayoi, Makoto and Yukiho. And those will make it across! Pics are also below.

Bypassing Web Application Firewalls (WAFs)
Topic: Bypassing Web Application Firewalls (WAF)
Date: 3.3.2010 at 19:00 (7:00pm)
Where: Progressbar, Cukrova, Bratislava
Presenter: Pavol Lupták
The goal of the presentation is to describe typical obfuscation attacks that allow attacker to bypass standard security measures such as various input filters, output encoding mechanisms used in web-based intrusion detection systems (IDS), intrusion prevention systems (IPS) and web application firewalls (WAFs). These attacks include different networking tricks, polymorphic shellcode and various code techniques.
At the beginning we analyze and compare different HTML parsing and interpretation approaches used by most-common browsers that can lead to unique attack vectors.
Javascript with full range of features represents another effective way that can be used to obfuscate or de-obfuscate code – some existing obfuscation tools are mentioned.
We describe how it is possible to construct a "nonalphanumeric Javascript code" which does not contain alphabetic or numeric characters, but still can contain malicious executable code. CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) have also many features that can be abused in very interesting ways (for example CSS history hack used against weak CSRF tokens).
However most of current applications are immune against SQL injection attacks, it is still possible to find many vulnerable applications. We focus on different fuzzy techniques (and useful open source SQL injection tools that implement them) which can be still used to bypass weak input validation controls.
We conclude our presentation with demonstration of the most basic obfuscation techniques that can be successfully used to bypass traditional web application firewalls (WAFs).
Finally we briefly describe current mitigation techniques that are recommended for an efficient malicious Javascript code analysis and sanitizing user input containing untrusted code.

text: DigitalAdvertisers React Negatively to Rolling Stone CoverCall it 'in poor taste'By Lucia Moses|July 18, 2013 ShareBy Lucia Moses|July 18, 2013 Share If the recent history of controversial magazine covers is any guide, Rolling Stone may get a boost in Web traffic and newsstand sales for its Boston Marathon bomber issue. But the situation could have a chilling effect on advertising. A leading CPG marketer at a major media agency "had issues with the cover," said a rep. "[They were] not pleased at all." Another buyer who has been hearing from clients described the reaction this way: "The general sentiment was that it's been in poor taste. No one's been supportive." Advertisers expressed surprise they didn't get a heads-up before the magazine hit newsstands—standard practice when an issue contains potentially controversial content. That prompted some to contact their agencies, wondering whether they should continue doing business with the Wenner Media publication. The backlash is likely to be more pronounced among conservative packaged-goods marketers like Kraft, Unilever and Procter & Gamble, all of which advertised in the controversial issue, as well as Boston-based brands like P&G's Gillette. Advertisers preferring to steer clear of touchy subjects could ask for makegoods for this issue and pressure Rolling Stone for similar guarantees in the future—or threaten to take their ad business elsewhere. Another buyer said that while he would still recommend Rolling Stone to clients, he would be obliged to mention the controversial cover in those conversations, which could have a dampening effect on advertiser interest. He, like other buyers, wouldn't speak on the record because of the sensitivity of the issue. A rep for the magazine declined to comment on advertiser reaction. Rolling Stone's ad pages grew 5.1 percent to 400 in the first half of this year compared to last year, per Publishers Information Bureau. But it had 850 in all of 2012, down from 1,152 in 2008. Even though readers and advertisers may have been surprised by the provocative cover, the story wasn't actually out of character for the magazine, some buyers pointed out. "This is very typical Rolling Stone, high-profile, political pop-culture news story," said Robin Steinberg, evp at MediaVest, which counts Kraft as a client. "It ultimately could end up being an award-winning piece of journalism. But the cover was viewed as positioning him as a 'rockstar' versus a 'villain.'" "While most clients, not surprisingly, will look to avoid negative association, we don't always have the foresight into what will resonate most in the culture/social sphere," said Allison Howald, svp, U.S. director of print investment, PHD. "However, given that Rolling Stone is no stranger to polarizing content and the magazine's controversial covers go back to the days of Charles Manson in the '70s, it is incumbent upon the buying industry to set acceptable client standards with publishers upfront." Howald, whose clients include Starbucks, Havaianas and Sony, did say that there was no immediate client reaction to the Rolling Stone cover. If social media helped spread outrage over the cover, the fleeting nature of the medium means this could all die down as quickly as it heated up. "Things come and go so quickly," one buyer said. "People are going to forget." Sharehttp://adweek.it/18qTxFl copy Adweek Adweek

A narrative essay by – Heather Spoonheim
As a 'strong' Atheist, I believe there are no gods. That is a belief that I am very comfortable, if not enthusiastic, to have challenged. The thing that irks me, however, is that those who try to challenge that belief almost never challenge it at all, but instead lay out a challenge to science. Now, I have an extremely eclectic resume but I am definitely not a scientist; as a matter of fact, at the time of this writing I make my living with a chef's knife. What the hell could I possibly know about science that isn't already published and open to criticism by anyone who actually cares to do so?
Why is it that my belief is so readily interpreted as a statement that I know how the universe came to be? I have absolutely no idea how the universe came to be and neither does science, as near as I can tell.
I realize that the distance between galaxies has been observed to be increasing at an accelerating rate, and that one can describe that behavior mathematically and then reverse the math to calculate that everything came from some singularity about 14 billion years ago – but that is where the current mathematical models break down, apparently. After that it's really anybody's guess.
Maybe the universe pulsates from singularity to some end point and back again, infinitely repeating. Maybe the singularity was actually a vortex from someplace else through which our universe got 'sucked' or 'pushed'. Maybe the universe is just an attribute of a less finite context that itself is just an attribute of a less finite context and on and on infinitely. To be honest, I believe we will never know the complete picture.
The only people who have the audacity to claim knowledge of the complete picture seem to be those who claim that it's a portrait of their invisible, imaginary friend. What a Kodak moment that must present – just keep shaking that Polaroid until the image clears up enough for me to take a look too, please. In the meantime, stop asking me where the universe came from.
Why is it that my belief is so readily interpreted as a statement that I know the details of abiogenesis and/or evolution? It really irks me when people ask me to explain these things, especially when they don't even understand that they are different concepts. Abiogenesis really eludes me because it is based on such a large knowledge base of chemistry and still in such early phases of research.
Evolution can be even more difficult because so few people realize that it isn't a fact at all, just an explanation that is supported by literally millions of facts that aren't nearly as accessible to the layman as the cosmos. To make matters worse, although U.S. courts readily accept DNA evidence of two men being brothers as being rock solid enough to put a man to death, they won't accept it as rock solid enough to establish the irrefutable relationship between humankind and the rest of the great apes. Fuckers.
Even if I were a scientist and had devoted my life to a field that fell within the bounds of one of the aforementioned scientific realms, that still wouldn't give someone the right to demand free private lectures. These days I make my living in restaurants, and if you don't believe that eggs and oil can be whisked into mayonnaise then you can go buy a fucking jar of Miracle Whip – it's not my job to educate you and if you want my services then talk to your waiter. Furthermore, I have no idea how the absence of a conclusive scientific proof for anything serves as evidence to support the impossibly self-contradicting postulations made by Bronze Age holy books. For the most part those texts manage to completely disprove themselves without any need for science.
What I do know is that if you could pray to get shit done then people would pray and get shit done. If the god of Judaism existed then the Jews wouldn't have spent their entire history getting their asses kicked all over the planet only to wind up back in the only part of the Middle East that doesn't have any oil under it. If another god existed then I'm certain that the Jews, pragmatic people that they are, would have tossed their Torah and Talmud into the trash centuries ago and jumped on a bandwagon that actually had wheels. All I can say to deists is that I find their concept of god equivalent to fat-free, sugar-free, caramel syrup; if the word oxymoron didn't just pop into your head then please look up the definitions of oxymoron, god, and syrup in the Merriam-Webster Dictionary.
Prayer doesn't work, science does, and you don't need to be an egghead to figure that out. Go get a job at the Cadillac factory like Johny Cash and take a toodle around on your lunch break. The engineers aren't dressed in ceremonial robes reading incantations in a dead language as they wave a big brass incense ball over plans scrawled on parchment – they are at computers, punching in numbers, and using instruments to take measurements. Science works.
Science is for the public and you don't need anymore than bus fare to find that out. Hop on a bus, head to a local campus, and casually walk into a lecture hall with a bunch of students, inconspicuously taking a seat near the back. Quick note - it might be a good idea to leave the holy books at home for a day and instead carry a binder or laptop or something to give the impression that you are literate. Anyway, you can sit there and listen to them speak and you'll quickly discover there is no fucking conspiracy going on. Everything that they are saying can be confirmed at the library – the public library. Science is public.
Science is international and you don't need to travel the world or speak seven languages to confirm that. You can pick a subject, like the second law of thermodynamics (a favorite of so many holy rollers), look it up on Wikipedia, and you'll find that it is available in at least 30 languages. For those that have had their nose in the holy books too long, feel free to scroll through the list of languages and select 'simple English'. If you doubt that this information is available around the planet then all you need to do is sign up for a myspace account using a picture of a blonde woman on your profile. Within hours some guy with a name like Achmed from Egypt or Morocco will send you a message requesting a conversation by webcam. Now, tell him you will turn your webcam on after he reads the Wikipedia article to you, confirming the translation in his native language – a lot of them seem to speak French as well so you can have them check that too. Science is international.
So, I would like to ask, once and for all, that all holy rollers please stop asking me to give them free science lessons. Everything that I know about science is publicly available at a nearby college, local library, or on the internet. I'm an Atheist, not a scientist.

What a Kodak moment that must present – just keep shaking that Polaroid until the image clears up enough for me to take a look too, please. In the meantime, stop asking me where the universe came from.Heather that is a great quote. I totally agree with you and understand your frustration. Just because we don't buy into their fantasy, they then expect us to understand and explain everything. What they don't get is that we don't believe what we do precisely because we do not know! We study, we read, we learn and we THINK and then we decide for ourselves.
Funny, I was browsing and found this troll. Think this is the point you are making.
Is that a swastika on the upper left corner of his shirt? Yeah, he's credible.
Heather; once again you verbalize the things I think and feel in a most articulate and real way. Thank you!
lol like it so much!!
Rachid from Morocco but have never asked a blond for a conversation by webcam lol !!
thanks Heather
@Atheist Mama - Thank you.
@Idcollapse Ra - I do actually get a lot of love letters from Morocco and Egypt at my myspace account. I never respond though, so the webcam part was just tossed in for fun.
I know... that's common here !! cyber cafés are always full of kids chatting with hotties ... I know some who chat with Shakira , the photo !!
great topic Heather

TG 1000 on the Tagus River
Digital Wireless Technology from beyerdynamic in Lisbon's Electricity Museum
Project report
TG 1000 on the Tagus River: Digital Wireless Technology from beyerdynamic in Lisbon's Electricity Museum
Lissabon/Heilbronn, July 2013: Not far from the Hieronymites Monastery, a stately brick building rises from the shores of the Tagus river, defining the face of the Belém district: The Electricity Museum ("Museu da Electricidade") is considered a prime example of Portugal's industrial culture in the early 20th century. Following on extensive renovations, it has spent the past few years as a popular cultural center and science museum. Reminiscent of a cathedral, the historic, landmarked building is located on the grounds of the former Central Tejo power plant, which supplied electricity to light the Portuguese capital for centuries. The museum is now operated by a foundation owned by the "EDP - Energias de Portugal" energy corporation.
A wide variety of temporary exhibits are held on a regular basis in addition to the main exhibition, which uses original machinery to show visitors the working processes used in the power plant. Theater performances, concerts and conferences are as much a part of the Electricity Museum's program as lectures on energy – television crews often film specials in the telegenic former power plant.
In spring of 2013, the Electricity Museum was equipped with new sound components. The equipment was supplied by beyerdynamic's Portuguese partner Garrett Audiovisuais, which also managed the installation of all the components. Special attention was paid to excellent speech intelligibility, because the performance area's challenging acoustics leave no room for compromise: Acoustically hard walls, ceiling-high windows, bulky metal girders and all kinds of loading cranes, pipes and boilers make up a visually appealing, but acoustically demanding layout.
Based on its positive past experiences, EDP decided once again to use wireless technology from beyerdynamic. EDP chose the new digital TG 1000 system, which is equipped to handle all the Electricity Museum's special requirements.
Four TG 1000 2-channel receivers are installed in a mobile rack, while two passive WA-ATD wideband directional antennas ensure perfect coverage of the entire area. The system also includes eight TG 1000 beltpack transmitters that are operated using the museum's previously purchased MCE 10.18 condenser lavaliere microphones, as well as four TG 1000 handheld transmitters, which are equipped with high-quality TG V96w true condenser capsules (cardioid-shaped directional polar pattern).
As a digital 24-bit wireless system, the TG 1000 covers a 319 MHz range of the UHF spectrum, ensuring stable operation, now and in the future. Thanks to the OneButton Navigation and Chameleon software, operating this system is incredibly intuitive. In terms of sound, it features excellent dynamics and impressive sound clarity, and the innovative TriplePlay Codec ensures high error resistance and minimal latency. Even in complex spaces like Lisbon's Electricity Museum, the TG 1000 offers a wide operating range and optimal sound results.
Duarte Aires, responsible for operating the museum's event technology, is firmly convinced of the advantages of wireless digital signal transmission: "We've been using the TG 1000 since early May 2013, the system has so far exceeded our high expectations during practical applications. The sound quality is flawless, and operation is very simple. We were already familiar with the quality of beyerdynamic products: For many years, we successfully used a beyerdynamic analog wireless system – the new TG 1000 has actually managed to take the many advantages we were already enjoying to an even higher level! Since its installation in the Electricity Museum, the new beyerdynamic wireless system has delivered an ideal performance for a very broad spectrum of events."

Starting next month, game wardens with tranquilizer guns might be visible along Interstate 280 in San Mateo County.
Caltrans is funding a study by the University of California at Davis to track deer movement in order to reduce deer versus vehicle collisions along the Interstate 280 corridor, state Department of Fish and Game spokeswoman Janice Mackey said.
Biologists from the DFG and UC Davis will be in the Woodside area between Dec. 2 and Dec. 11, aiming to put radio collars on 15 deer that will help track their movements in the area over an 18-month period, Mackey said.
Some deer will be trapped and others will be shot with tranquilizer dart guns.
The California Highway Patrol is alerting motorists that some of the trapping activity might be visible from the highway, which runs along vast tracts of open space, including the San Francisco State Fish and Game Refuge.
The radio collars will automatically fall off the animals after about six months, and another set of 15 deer will be collared for a second phase of the study, according to the DFG.
The goal of the study is to protect the regional deer population as well as safeguard drivers, Mackey said.
On Sept. 22 at 8:10 p.m., a San Jose man suffered fatal injuries in a crash that occurred after his car hit a deer on Highway 280 near Alpine Road, according to the CHP.
Daniel Strickland, 27, stopped on the highway after the collision with the deer and was then struck from behind by another driver who didn't see his car.
Strickland was taken to Stanford University Hospital, where he died from his injuries on Sept. 23.

Sorry it's been so quiet here on the blog lately! But I promise I have had some really nice reasons for it! I´ve been working with some new products that will arrive to my shop next week, as lamp shades (show you them later) and these candle holders in steel and brass. I can't believe it's already the season! But now is the time to start thinking about Christmas! So just as a reminder the delivery time for international shipping during the holiday season can take longer time so I recommend that you place your order soon if you would like your orders to arrive before 24th December. You can also set the recipients' address to other than yours so we can directly ship what you purchase to your friends and family worldwide! One more thing, my Christmas home is featured in the latest Finnish Deko magazine that is out now, but more of it later! Now I just want to wish you all a wonderful first advent sunday!

Ore. jury denies Occupy protester's police lawsuit
A seven-person jury has found the city of Portland and two of its police officers not liable for an Occupy Portland protester's injuries.
The Oregon jury took four hours to return a verdict saying that the officers did not use excessive force when one of them struck protester Liz Nichols in the throat with a baton and the other one sprayed her open mouth with pepper spray.
The officers' defense team said in closing arguments that the police were doing their job in a difficult situation during the November 2011 protests.
Despite the loss, Nichols' attorneys say they're happy that the issue has been aired publicly and that attention has been trained on the police reaction to demonstrations.
"We're disappointed with the result," said Ben Haile, one of Nichols' attorneys. "We think this goes to show that a lot more work needs to be done to make sure people are safe when they come downtown to protest."
Kenneth Kreuscher, one of Nichols' attorneys, said the officers went beyond their orders to secure a bank branch during an Occupy Portland protest in November 2011.
Kreuscher said the officers took it upon themselves to do more than secure the bank, and instead, moved to clear an entire sidewalk choked with protesters. Nichols was nearly 50 feet from the bank entrance when she was sprayed, dragged behind a police line and arrested, he said. Police then washed the spray off her face, he said.
Nichols originally sought $155,000, but changed that amount to $30,000.
David Landrum, lead attorney for the city, said the protest was unruly and officers were afraid of violence when they reacted.
"Those officers didn't have a chance to have a committee meeting about it with the incident commander," Landrum said. "And when they're instructed, they go."
Downtown Portland was tense on November 17, 2011. Police had dispersed the 300-person Occupy Portland encampment only weeks before, and the protest was the first major public demonstration since then. Nichols was among thousands to march in downtown and target major banks.
The marches began in the early afternoon. By twilight, they had reached a Chase Bank branch at a busy intersection.
Protesters, including Nichols and several people who testified at trial, sat down in a vestibule that connected the front doors of the bank to the sidewalk. Police asked them to leave and some, including Nichols, moved to the sidewalk.
The protesters lined the sidewalk. Videos used as evidence showed Nichols and others shouting at police, including Portland police Officer Doris Paisley.
Paisley jabbed Nichols high in her chest with a baton, and the baton then struck Nichols' throat, according to video footage. Sgt. Jeffrey McDaniel then sprayed her mouth. A photographer for The Oregonian newspaper captured the moment, which became a defining image of the protest.

How to mess up your laser printer
I made a stupid and rather costly mistake with my color laser printer. I was using special cardstock paper, that is 4 postcard-sized cards on one page with a plastic back. Works wonderfully for printing my monster index cards, and I was also using it to print monster tokens and initiative riders. But once I didn't need all 4 cards, and printed on only 2 of them. So I thought I could just put the half-used page back into my printer after having removed the 2 cards I already printed on. Bad idea! Very bad idea!
The cardstock half printed all right, but once the slightly sticky plastic backing of the removed cards touched the toner drum, it got stuck there. I managed to pull it out, but apparently there was some sort of glue on the backing which had transferred to the toner drums. From then on every time I printed a page, I got magenta, cyan, and blue spots on it. Printing several pages didn't diminish the intensity of the spots, and the printer self-cleaning procedure didn't help either.
The only thing that saved me from having to buy a new printer was that the toner drums in a color laser printer are actually part of the toner cartridge, not the printer itself. So I "only" had to switch out the three color toner cartridges to fix the problem. Fortunately two of them were near empty. But the yellow one was still 75% full, so I ended up losing a hundred bucks worth of toner from this error. :( And all that for trying to save 50 cents worth of cardstock paper. :(
By the way, I wasn't able to find the same 200 g/m2 thick paper in A4 format without the division into 4 cards and without the plastic backing. I see it on Amazon, but the suppliers don't sell to Belgium, probably because sending a pack of paper would cost more postage than the paper is worth. I find a lot of glossy or matte photo paper, but not the normal kind like the HP Color Laser A4 Paper 200 gsm.

Same thing happened to me, but it was just a black laser printer. Forunatly toner and drum are seperate, so i didn't lose any toner. But the drum alone was still expensive. Now i know, don't put any plastic in a laser printer.
I work for a company that sells paper toner and the like. I asked and it costs us (in the UK) £24 per 1000 and would cost you about 10 euro shipping (though we don't ship to belgium.
I'm told that although it's branded as HP it's actually made by Robert Horne paper company and an equivalent product you could use is manufacturer code hcl0349.
This may or may not help. :)

To get supplies, you can look into nearby copy/print shops. They have professional sources for their consumeables and will most likely be happy to sell you some at a reasonable price. Anything that adds volume to their order should be welcome.
Maybe you could refill your next yellow cartridge with the toner you have left.
Of course then you could end up breaking your printer once again...

It's No Big Deal? Everybody Does It?
Plagiarism is a growing and common problem for all students and educators. As students and educators, we need to understand copyright laws, recognize plagiarism, create assignments that help avoid plagiarism and learn how to detect plagiarism. It is our task as students and educators to have an awareness and understanding of plagiarism, know how to avoid it and understand why it is wrong. Students should be encouraged to use the Internet for research, but should know how to evaluate these sources, cite the sources properly, and paraphrase the information.
Avoiding Plagiarism
- Make sure you paraphrase correctly. Replacing one or two words in each sentence is not paraphrasing; it is fill in the blank plagiarism. Read the original text, cover it up, write it in your own words, and check your paraphrase with the original to make sure you have not used any of the same words or phrases.
- Be sure to give credit for paraphrased work also.
- Include in your notes all the information you will need to cite the sources correctly.
- Update the bibliography regularly.
- Print all web pages that you use. Write the date that you accessed the web page on the printouts. Keep all your notes and all the printouts.
- Always cite any words, information, and ideas that you learned in your research. If you did not know it before you began the research, you must cite it. If you are not sure, cite it. Sources should be cited internally in the body of the paper and in the bibliography.
- Student Guide to Avoiding Plagiarism: http://www.educationworld.com/a_curr/TM/curr390_guide.shtml
- Commonly known facts (everyone knows it) do not have to be cited.
- http://www.indiana.edu/~wts/pamphlets/plagiarism.shtml Provides examples of acceptable and unacceptable paraphrases and simple instructions on how to recognize and avoid plagiarism.
http://ec.hku.hk/plagiarism/self_test.htm Take a self-test for understanding and avoiding plagiarism. Students should take this test before writing assignments.
Why Do Students Plagiarize?
- They want good grades, and they are very competitive.
- Whatever it takes to get into the colleges they want to go to.
- They don't think they will get caught.
- Everybody does it.
- They don't have time; they have too much homework or too many extracurricular activities.
- It is not a course they care about, and they don't think they will ever need to know the information in the future.
- It is easy to copy and paste from the Internet.
- It is easy to buy entire papers from the Internet.
- They don't think it is wrong.
- They see adults cheat in business.
- They wrote it better than I could.
- They don't know they are plagiarizing.
- They don't care.
WAYS For Educators to Help Students Avoid Plagiarism.
- Teach a lesson on plagiarism and examples of plagiarism.
- Let them know the consequences of plagiarism in your class.
- Let students know that you know about the paper mill web sites and that you check their papers. Actually check out these sites (you will have to do it at home as NISD has blocked all of these sites.) You might want to print out a poorly written paper found at one of these mills and use it as an example in your class. Be sure the students know where you got the paper. This might discourage them from doing the same.
- Give very specific assignments.
- List what should be included.
- If possible, allow students to select the topic within guidelines. Include unusual topics or recent current events.
- Require some recent sources (magazines, newspapers, journals, etc.) printed or online.
- Examples from required sources (books, web sites, letters, interviews, currentevents, etc.) Possibly require a specific number of each.
- Require personal opinions and/or examples.
- Require outlines of ideas or graphic organizers (Inspiration).
- Change topics and assignments from year to year.
- Require specific formatting for the final typed paper.
- Check rough drafts, corrected rough drafts, final copy.
- Possibly require assignments to be e-mailed to you. This would make it very easy to search the web to check for plagiarism.
- Have students turn in printouts of all Internet sites used, photocopies of table of contents from books used, photocopies of any articles used.
- Check the sentence structure, advanced vocabulary, unusual phrases.Check to see if all parts of the assignment are included. Do any parts sound like they were just added in and don't match the rest of the paper.Check the bibliography for dates of the references. Are they recent or old? Have students turn in copies of all sources used.

Vegetable Gardening For Beginners: Rain Barrel Drip Irrigation Kit
Growing your own vegetables is both fun and rewarding. All you really need to get started is some decent soil and a few plants. But to be a really successful vegetable gardener — and to do it organically — you'll need to understand what it takes to keep your plants healthy and vigorous. Here are the basics.
"Feed the soil" is like a mantra for organic gardeners, and with good reason. In conventional chemical agriculture, crop plants are indeed "fed" directly using synthetic fertilizers.
When taken to extremes, this kind of chemical force-feeding can gradually impoverish the soil. And turn it from a rich entity teeming with microorganisms insects and other life forms, into an inert growing medium that exists mainly to anchor the plants' roots, and that provides little or no nutrition in its own right.
Although various fertilizers and mineral nutrients (agricultural lime, rock phosphate, greensand, etc.) should be added periodically to the organic garden, by far the most useful substance for building and maintaining a healthy, well-balanced soil is organic matter.
You can add organic matter to your soil many different ways, such as compost, shredded leaves, animal manures or cover crops.
Organic matter improves the fertility, the structure and the tilth of all kinds of soils. In particular, organic matter provides a continuous source of nitrogen and other nutrients that plants need to grow. It also provides a rich food source for soil microbes.
As organisms in the soil carry out the processes of decay and decomposition, they make these nutrients available to plants. For more on this subject, read Building Healthy Soil.

The Observer 21st February 1965 featuring some of the 'Circus Drawings'
Dave Nethery reports on a very interesting development -Dick's finished his latest short film & it has actually premiered at a silent film festival. More details on Harvey Deneroff's site
The result is an extraordinary adventure in time. The artist encounters his young, adventuring self. The circus artists of more than half a century ago – where can they be now? – are brought back to life, athletic or absurd, luminous.
The film begins with a montage of the 1953 drawings, revealing that the quality of draughtmanship that distinguishes Williams from other animators was already intact from the beginning. A camera could not read these strangers' eyes as the drawings do, as timeless and unpretentious as Old Masters.
Halfway, the film turns to colour, and now the older artist takes over, bringing decades' seniority of experience, and the legacy of working with the Disney masters. These glimpses, the sketches animated – a bird taking flight, acrobats, athletes, and clowns, a rope-walker momentarily faltering, trousers falling, a baby embraced, a dress pulled over the shoulders – represent traditional, hand-crafted animation the like of which we may not see again. For those with an eye for poetry and magic, this is it.
On release, the film will be shown with sound, with Richard Rodney Bennett's 1965 score. However, uniquely for this performance, Richard Williams wishes to screen the film as a "silent", with live piano accompaniment by Maud Nelissen. – DAVID ROBINSON

The power of Appreciation as a guiding principle for leaders cannot be overstated and is often underutilized. Emotionally Intelligent leaders know that energy goes where attention flows, that what we appreciate will appreciate. The Appreciative Leader can see the connection between managing the psychology of their organization and the behaviors that drive results.
Appreciative Leadership gives us a powerful framework for any leader to implement. This workshop teaches immediately actionable ways of building appreciation into just about every daily activity, interaction, meeting or event. Appreciation is an expanding force of energy, and when channeled with purpose, becomes the tool of choice for great leadership. Starting within, students practice appreciation towards aspects of themselves, and eventually move outwards in building a Strategic Appreciation plan for those who they lead and interact with.
