When it comes to choosing a personal finance app for your Mac, you've got quite a range to choose from. We even did a roundup of 15 of the best candidates a couple of months back and picking one can be quite difficult owing to all the different range of features in each one.
Well, we can't look at all 15 individually (otherwise we'd be here until the end of the year!) but instead we're going to look at three of the most popular in a bit more detail, Moneywiz, iBank and Money, comparing the features and, most importantly, which out of these three is the best personal finance app for you.
Bills are an inevitability of life, but spending a lot of time trying to keep track of them isn't. It's not unlikely that, throughout your life, you'll have to pay mortgage payments, phone service contracts, credit card repayments, etc, and all at different intervals, costs, and dates. It can be a confusing financial landscape, but staying on top of things is something you have to do.
Enter Chronicle, a bill management software now in it's fifth version that eases the process of keeping track of your due payments, and ones past. With the app, you can add payments of all sorts, be reminded when they're due and log them once they're paid. It's on sell for just $9.99 to celebrate the new launch, and it's a pretty nice, all-in-one solution, so let's take a look. (more…)
Many of us have been using Mint's web app to manage our finances online for years now. It even makes it easy to keep up with our spending on the go with full-featured mobile apps. But until recently, Mint hasn't had a presence on the Mac.
All that's changed with Mint QuickView, Mint's first time out on the Mac App Store. A lot of what's inside is going to look familiar, but there's enough that's new here to really make it a useful addition to the Mint family of financial tools. (more…)
These days, there's literally an app for everything: keeping recipes, managing projects, invoicing customers, and managing one's finances. Money management is an especially popular app category now that people can simplify budget tracking and analyze both earnings and expenses all in one window.
We've reviewed some of the popular Mac finance apps in the industry in the past, such as Koku, iBank, and Moneywell. These apps are known for their handful of features and innovative UIs, all of which are geared towards informing you exactly where your money goes, where it comes from, how frequent your spending has been for the past few months, and of course what is left in your account. But for today's review, I'll be taking a look at another finance app that takes on a simpler route: Savings.
These days, many people may do freelance work and regular contracting or business that requires invoicing. Getting paid is undeniably one of the most important parts of any business and invoicing is a key component of that process. Long gone are the days of handwriting invoices and mailing them. Now we have awesome ways to invoice through email and on the computer. Totals is an easy and elegant way to create invoices on your Mac.
Totals is elegant and simple. It also includes easy ways to manage your clients and create reports. If you are a company who keeps inventory, you will be happy to know that Totals helps track that too! Read on as we discover all of the ins and outs of Totals.
Everyone wants to be rich. That's a great goal to have, but it usually takes a multitude of consistent steps over an extended period of time to actually get there. One half of the equation is to earn more than what you are making right now, and fast. From freelancing to running a business fulltime, there are so many options to explore when it comes to creating a new revenue stream.
Another half of the equation is taking control of your fund outflow by managing expenses. It might be a cliche, but a penny saved is indeed equivalent to a penny earned. Either way, you will have to keep track of both the income and expenses diligently. Squirrel helps you track and plan your finances on your Mac, let's check it out.
Having graduated and lived on my own for a while now, I have come to understand the importance of setting a budget. There are an overwhelming number of apps and sites and methods to help in setting a budget, and it can quickly get overwhelming sorting through all of those different resources. While many apps have their own new system of budgeting, sometimes it's important to take a look back at more traditional methods of budgeting.
MoneyWell is a recently updated budgeting application that has done just that. MoneyWell utilizes a traditional form of budgeting known as "envelope budgeting." Read on for more information about how this technique translates to digital format and some of the great features available in the latest release of MoneyWell.
There is certainly no shortage of finance apps available for the Mac. For some odd reason, Intuit has shied away from offering it's full-fledged Quicken software for Mac. They offer a watered-down version called "Quicken Essentials for Mac," but as someone who has used it, I can tell you that they are using that word "essentials" loosely, and charging far too much for the app. It lacks even the most basic features that people expect of any software for tracking their expenses, paying their bills, and organizing their finances in general.
As a result, the field is wide open for competing finance apps for the Mac. Today we are going to take a look at Money Plus, and see how it stacks up against the competition.
For the freelancer or small business owner, client management, job management, time tracking, and invoicing all tend to be more complicated than is often necessary. But iBiz greatly simplifies all these processes by providing a clean and intuitive interface that is not overwhelming or hard to understand.
Keeping track of the time spent on a project, invoicing, invoice tracking, managing clients and job history are all items iBiz handles with ease.
The popularity of online bill paying simplifies our lives in many ways (not to mention the tree savings), but without a solid piece of mail arriving at the door, it can be tough to remember the due dates for the many bills we pay each month. While you could set up repeating reminders in iCal, and keep track of what you've paid on spread sheets, the developers of Chronicle promise an easier way to keep track of bills for the memory-and-math-challenged.
Unlike many other finance apps, which try to do everything from creating budgets to tracking transactions, Chronicle is dedicated solely to helping you pay the bills. Find out if this simplified approach can prevent bill-related anxiety in today's review!

After a very rough day of sailing, about 6 hours to be exact, we arrived at the chain of Islands known as Cayos Cochinos. We moored in an area next to Cochino Grande where the water was 5 different shades of blue. This was an absolutely gorgeous setting and we where the only ones around. This was by far the best snorkeling experience that we had on our visit to the Bay Islands.
We were able to identify over 50 different varieties of fish with the highlights being two very large Queen Angelfish. We also spotted a good size lobster but because we were in the nature reserve we could not catch it. The visibility underwater was excellent which made for very good video footage of the reef and its inhabitants.
After snorkeling we enjoyed a gorgeous sunset and a great meal prepared by Captain Kenny of the Island Time. We looked forward to the next day knowing that we were going to be arriving in Guanaja.

Could Putin's War be Good for Ukraine?
One can only hope that Vladimir Putin's war against Ukraine, which has claimed, among others, the lives of the passengers of flight MH17, will come to an early end. But is it possible that the conflict, for all the suffering and senseless destruction it has brought, could have a silver lining?
The past 20 years, during which many Ukrainians thought of their country as a bridge between the West and the East, without any obvious enemies, were years of complacency and failed economic policies, which ultimately resulted in the capture of the government by special interests.
Besides economic backwardness — Ukraine's GDP per capita is barely $4,000 — these 20 years created a weak state, unable to deliver even the most basic public goods and services. Ukraine's military, for example, did nothing to counter the Russian invasion of Crimea and is still struggling to contain the Russia-sponsored militants in Donbas.
The sudden realization that the country's eastern neighbour represents a potentially existential threat may serve as an impetus for the country's elites to get Ukraine's economy on track, and to repair — or, in some cases, to build from scratch — the institutions underpinning democratic capitalism.
Traumatic experiences can foster positive change. As Tyler Cowen recently wrote in the New York Times, "the very possibility of war focuses the attention of governments on getting some basic decisions right — whether investing in science or simply liberalizing the economy. Such focus ends up improving a nation's longer-run prospects."
The external threat from the Kremlin has already served as an incentive to invest in the capacity of governments to provide essential public goods, such as security and justice, in countries such as Georgia, a victim of Russia's earlier military excursion in 2008. Georgia has been the post-Soviet country that made the biggest progress during the 2000s in terms of strengthening the rule of law, eradicating corruption and improving its business environment.
While the threat from Russia is preoccupying the minds of Ukrainian policy makers, the country also suffers from more mundane problems, some of which were at the heart of the government's recent discussions with the IMF, which concluded its mission to Ukraine on the day of the tragedy of flight MH17. Economic difficulties, corruption and the weakness of Ukraine's institutions have neither magically disappeared since the fighting in the east began, nor are they likely to go away once Ukraine finds itself at peace. If anything, many of these problems seem to be gradually getting worse.
The IMF estimates that Ukraine's economy will contract by 6.5 per cent in 2014, and not by 5 per cent as was predicted earlier in the year. The rise in expenditure driven by the war and a fall in revenue in the east are responsible for the rising fiscal deficit, which is likely to attain double digits this year — in spite of a fiscal consolidation that is scheduled to take place over the period 2014-2016. The government is limiting wage and pension increases and is seeking ways to reduce public sector employment and stop the wastefulness, corruption and theft that traditionally characterized public procurement in the country.
The good news is that numerous post-communist countries have faced and in many cases successfully tackled the same challenges. Being a latecomer gives Ukrainians an opportunity to avoid some of the pitfalls encountered earlier by the more precocious reformers in the region — such as the partial privatization of pension accounts in Poland, Hungary or Slovakia, which happened without sufficient guarantees against potential government predation.
What is more, until last week, Ukrainians had the most reform-minded political leadership in decades, with ministers such as Pavlo Sheremeta, previously the president (and the founder) of the Kyiv Mohyla Business School, which offers one of the leading MBA programmes in the country. While it remains to be seen if the new government will share the enthusiasm for possibly unpopular reforms, the association agreement with the European Union and the prospect of membership may help solidify a commitment to economic and institutional reforms.
The challenges facing Ukraine are enormous but they are not insurmountable. Only 25 years ago, Ukraine enjoyed the same income levels as Poland and dealt with similar political legacies. Let us hope that one unintended consequence of Putin's military adventurism will be that Ukraine catches up with its Western neighbours again.

Kaduna: El-Rufai Reacts To Kafanchan Protest
El-Rufa'i who spoke on Tuesday at the Emir of Jema'a's palace after inspecting the extent of destruction, said the dastardly act must not be allowed to continue.
He told the Emir to caution the people, especially the youths, against engaging in criminal acts as doing so could attract the wrath of the law.
He said government would launch full investigation into the matter with a view to fishing out those behind it to serve as deterrent to those nursing the same ambition.
Responding, the Emir of Jema'a, Alhaji Muhammadu Isa Muhammadu, commended the government for the prompt deployment of security operatives that nipped the crisis in the bud.
Muhammadu urged the people to live in peace with one another irrespective their differences.

In this Sunday's Gospel passage (Luke 18 :1-8) Our Lord speaks of the need to pray continually and never lose heart. He gives us the parable of the widow pestering a judge – rather persistently – for justice. Eventually she gets what she wanted. It is very similar to the parable we heard a few Sundays ago – the so-called, the parable of the 'Importunate Friend' (11:5-8). In that parable, it was the harassed father of the family disturbed in the middle of the night who had to get up to help his friend because he was persistent. Persistence is the key. It is the same with praying. Persistence is also the key for prayers to be answered. If humans who are weak give in to persistency, how much more would our 'heavenly Father (who) is perfect', who is compassionate, and who love us, give in to our persistency. The question is, do we have the eyes of faith to see when our prayers are answered?
Blessings, Fr Michael

Will Retailers' Black Friday Strategies Work?

Hon. Serge Joyal:
Welcome, minister. In the last 30 years, Canada, at four different levels on the international scene, has accepted a very specific target to control climate change. It accepted a target in Rio in 1992, in Quito in 2005, in Copenhagen in 2012, and, of course, in Paris in 2015. According to the environment commissioner, Canada has failed to meet those targets in the last 30 years. Canada lags behind by 230 million tonnes.
How can you explain to us that, under your leadership and the present government, we will be able to catch up, because the government continues to authorize the exploitation of natural resources that continue to add to our lagging behind? Which initiative will you take to face the commitment of Canada internationally and our capacity to meet those targets?
Hon. Catherine McKenna, P.C., M.P., Minister of Environment and Climate Change: Thank you very much, honourable senator. I absolutely agree. There's no point in having a target unless you're going to make it. That's exactly what we announced last year.
I was very proud to have the Prime Minister standing with the premiers and saying, "Here's our plan."
We can't do it alone. We need to be working with the provinces and territories. I'll name a few of the initiatives that we have to meet our target.
One, putting a price on pollution. We know that polluters have to pay. That will not only reduce emissions but foster the innovation we desperately need.
Two, phasing out coal. We understand coal is not only a huge contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, it's also terrible for human health.
Three, historic investments in public transit and green infrastructure. In the city of Ottawa, the funding for the second phase of light rail transit will result in the largest reduction in greenhouse gas emissions in the city's history.
Four, investments in clean technologies. There's a great Nova Scotia company called CarbonCure that we've supported. This is a company that takes pollution from industry and injects it into cement to make it stronger. I was in California with this company at a cement factory where they were using this technology that's now being exported around the world.
We are taking concrete actions. We have a plan. We're working with the provinces and territories and we're going to deliver.

Grocery store Soapbox
Filed Under ME | Leave a Comment
Okay I am going to get on a soapbox for a minute. Bear with me….
Walking around the store tonight I was actually more observant than usual. (I would not make a good witness.)
When I am in that type of environment I typically block out all the stuff I choose not to put in my body, yet have to "see" what my family wants.
I do look at people. It's good to say hi to those you know. However, It's disheartening to see the physical condition of society to the point of some not even being able to walk through the store due to physical/medical limitations caused/enhanced by excess weight.
Tonight I saw what was in the isles at a glance.
How many companies exist that manufacture processed/canned "food-like" products?
It's an instant world we live in, not producing anything ourselves, just going about our busy lives eating on the run, "nuking" foods and trusting that what is consumed is safe.
Just because we can physically eat something instant and not instantly die from it doesn't mean that it doesn't slowly kill our cells, infect our bodies and ultimately develop "minor" to "major" and even "terminal" consequences.
The way I eat now is healthy. It's not 100% unprocessed yet much closer than ever in my life before.
I am the steward, the keeper, of this body. My soul, that God created, is housed in this form. It's my responsibility and privilege to have the knowledge of how to care of it. A friend was quoting scriptures that I need to write down for reference.
Eating things without nutrition labels does seem to be the healthiest way to go-vegetables, fruit, nuts, meat.
To compare the nutrient values and taste of fresh verses canned there's really no comparison, especially with taste.
I season with herbs and spices for flavor. Sometimes I'll use Walden Farms zero calorie products. It's interesting how companies market their products to make them appealing, no matter the expense we pay with our body and health. Gravies, sauces, and dressings mask the taste and offset nutritional benefits.
Well I could go on and on and I'm sure it will be discussed again….. I'll come off my grocery store soapbox.
As for me- I will continue to feed my body as healthy as I can with what's available and affordable. I can't serve God if I can't take care of me. It's my right. It's my duty.
I am Doing it for me!

HE'S IN THE HOUSE! : What came first?
I recently watched DON'T HANG UP (aka DON'T OPEN THE DOOR) from 1974 and something came to mind: What the heck came first - this one of BLACK CHRISTMAS?! IMDB has BLACK CHRISTMAS coming out in 1974, but December, while DON'T HANG UP is May of the same year. I thought this was really interesting. There are elements of both that are very similar.
Of course, BLACK CHRISTMAS is the better film by far. DON'T HANG UP is entertaining, but slow and amateurish with acting that's...well...fit for the stage of a college play, really. But, it does look like it came out before BLACK CHRISTMAS. I just never heard about it before.
DON'T HANG UP is very giallo - even down to the lighting with it's bright red and green lights blasting from time to time. SO Bava it hurts with it's old dark house feel and who done it nature. It follows in the BAY OF BLOOD styling.
There are family goings on and murders and sick grandmothers and memories of past events that happened to the lead when she was a little girl. And, someone (an obvious someone) who wants to get the lead and her grandmother out of the way. That someone makes a series of phone calls and seems to be very aware of where our heroin is, what she's wearing and what she's doing when he's talking to her. VERY much like old Creepy Giggle Voices from BLACK CHRISTMAS. That's pretty much it.
The reason why this film doesn't come rocketing into people's minds when they think back on the genre is due to the fact that S.F. Brownrigg just is NOT Bava when it comes to direction and Schaefer and Newcomb don't really bring much to the table on the writing side. The pace is slow and the style is VERY B movie. However, it does have something to offer and should be viewed if you're into the genre from a historical standpoint. It's an entertaining watch, albeit slow.
Check it out if times allows!

Toronto Rotman 2013 MBA Application Questions, Deadlines, Tips
The University of Toronto's Rotman School of Business is one of the leading business schools in Canada. Known for its design approach to MBA education and strong emphasis on problem solving, Rotman's program is growing in size and renown.
Essays Questions:
1. What is your post-MBA career goal and why do you think this career would be a good match? How will the Rotman MBA help you to achieve your goal? (Please limit your answer to 500 words.)
This is a classic, straight-forward MBA goals question, with a little twist. What do you want to do with your MBA (what do you want to do after your MBA?) and why is Rotman the best school to help you achieve your goal (the right route)?
Define your goal in terms of the function you want to perform and the industry you want to work in. You may also want to specify geographic location, if it's an important part of your goal. You don't have to specific the company you want to work for, but you can say you want to work for companies like X.
The twist in this question is that Rotman wants to know how you chose this goal. What appeals to you about this path? How do you know it's right for you?
Finally, how will the Rotman's program and approach to business education help you achieve your goals? Focus on the distinctive aspects of Rotman in your response.
A possible structure for your essay: Start your response with an anecdote about an achievement that illustrates your goal's appeal to you. Then provide the reasons this event or experience is important to you, describe your goal and then detail how Rotman will help you attain it.
For more ideas on responding to this and other MBA goals question, please see MBA Goals: A-Z.
2. Tell us about a time when you had to overcome an obstacle and describe the outcome. (Please limit your answer to 250 words.)
This is a fairly short essay and a straight-forward one at that. I recommend an obstacle that you have overcome and that you handled well. Discuss the situation you faced, the challenges it presented, and how you responded. Finally what was the result? What did you learn from the experience. If possible, be anecdotal in telling the story and avoid cliches when analyzing what you learned.
3. Video essay: The Rotman School is introducing a new video essay component as a pilot project in our admissions process this year. You will be asked two questions, both questions are designed to be answered without any advanced preparation and will allow us to get to know you, your personality, interests, passions, and talents much better than we could in a written essay. Click the following link to start the video essay (this will only take a few minutes to complete): www.kiratalent.com/interview/rotman2013
This is totally new and quite innovative. To prepare, you need to practice for the experience of talking to a video camera with no feedback from another human being. Having created videos for Accepted, I found the experience very unnatural.
Until the questions become known, practice answering "What do you do for fun? What are your passions, interests, and hobbies?" This is an example given in the BW article about the Rotman interview. Time your responses and train yourself to answer in no more than 90 seconds.
4. Optional Essay: Is there anything that you think the Admissions Committee should know which you feel has not been covered by the rest of the application? If you believe your credentials and essays represent you fairly, do not feel obligated to answer this question.
Use this essay to provide context for information that doesn't present your abilities accurately. For example, if you worked significant hour during college and your GPA took a hit, that's something to share with the Admissions Committee. Or if you were sick the semester that your GPA was only a 2.0, but you averaged a 3.5 the rest of college, that information is important for the Admissions Committee to know. For more suggestions, please see The Optional Question: To Be or not To Be.
Please be aware that admission to Rotman is highly competitive and the class may become full before the final application deadline date. Therefore, while the final deadline date in the annual application cycle is June 1, it is highly recommended that applicants submit their completed applications as early as possible within the application cycle for the best chance of being admitted.
*Round 4 is the final deadline for international applicants, but we strongly encourage you to apply by Round 3 to ensure adequate processing time for study permits and loans.
**Round 5 is the final deadline for domestic applicants.

The worst thing about this film is the music is so fucking catchy. I will have it playing in my head for a week. "Cat Ballou, Cat Ball-oo-ou, she is mean and wicked through and through." ARGH!
Cat Ballou (Jane Fonda) is on her way to returning home to her father and becoming a school teacher, when she first meets Clay (Michael Callan) and his uncle Jed (Dwayne Hickman) on a train as they try to escape the lawman intent on collecting the bounty on their heads. Then she gets home and finds her surly father is being bullied off his ranch. He is murdered by Tim Strawn (Lee Mervin) and Cat goes out of her way to get revenge, even hiring Kid Shellen (Lee Mervin, again) as a gunslinger. Nothing but trouble.
Slapstick fighting, great humour, heart touching in some places, and sexual innuendos. Clay is a sex maniac who's comments and actions boarder on... no, they are sexual harassment. He's the first to be smitten with Miss Ballou. What's not to love?
That tune though, that's still playing in my head, that's what's wrong. "The face of an angel, they say she's the devil." Oh. My. Fucking. God. Why won't it stop?
Mustn't forget Nat King Cole and Stubby Kaye for their musical talents. I blame them the most for the constant blaring of the songs in my head.
Great film, though you have been warned about the music with some great hooks to it, making it highly addictive.

Dimension Films has confirmed that Scream 4 will go under the camera this spring, with Wes Craven back in the director's chair.
The new film, which reunites Neve Campbell, David Arquette and Courteney Cox Arquette against a new slasher-movie-loving psycho, has been given a release date of 12 April, 2011.
Which means it'll be hitting cinemas almost bang on 11 years after the series shrieked its last with Scream 3 in February 2000, which supposedly rounded out the Scream Trilogy .
Writer Kevin Williamson (who scribbled the first two, and exec produced the third) has been secretly squirreling away at the script, which he has proposed as a brand new trilogy, with treatments for Screams 5 and 6 also filed in a drawer marked 'open and die' (probably).
Wes Craven, who was holding out on signing onto the fourquel until he read the script, evidently is happy with what Williamson has dreamed up to resurrect the franchise.
In a confirmation of what we already knew, Dimension revealed that their 2011 slate is playing it safe by continuing its roster of successful franchises – Scream being their figurehead for dead cert hits. God bless the recession.
Says Dimension chief Bob Weistein:
" Scream has been such an integral part of Dimension's history, and I look forward to continuing the franchise."
As well as reuniting the original triumvirate of Scream survivors, this new flick will introduce a cast of new, younger characters. Expect a few faces from Williamson's CW show The Vampire Diaries to make an appearance, then.
Sick of Scream -ing? Or crying out for more?

Medical stitching by hand can be problematic as it relies on the ability, dexterity, training, and alertness of the practitioner. Sutrue engineers solved the problem by developing two automated stitching devices, transforming the manual process into a simpler, quicker, and more accurate automated process, reducing the margin for human error. There have been more than 10,000 patent attempts to produce a device that sutures wounds and Sutrue is the first to successfully achieve it.
Developers produced 38 different prototypes and designed and tested more than 1,500 parts, involving 15,000 hours of design work, resulting in the creation of a patented automated suturing mechanism that consistently works across both types of devices – handheld and endoscopic/robotic.
Robotic/endoscopic device
For more than eight years, design engineers worked closely with Richard Trimlett, cardiothoracic surgeon and head of mechanical support at the Royal Brompton Hospital to develop both devices. Trimlett sees the device as being very influential to the future of robotic surgery, believing it could help significantly reduce the number of open operations undertaken in the future as it enables sutures to be carried out endoscopically, removing the need to open up a patient.
"It's true to say that the majority of operations we're doing today are still open and that's not because the patient wants them open, it's because of the limitations of the technology and so there are many improvements to technology that we need to get to the point where we can do everything as a keyhole operation and I see this [Sutrue device] as one of them," Trimlett says.
The engineering process involved in the creation of the Sutrue devices has been significantly faster than traditional methods due to the use of cutting edge 3D printing technology provided by GE Additive.
"Rapid prototyping has significantly reduced the cost of the creation of the devices, probably by a factor of 50. It has also shaved years off the time it would have otherwise taken. We've taken a create, print, test, tweak, reprint approach to solving the problem. We even coined our own term for the working process and called it Multi-typing, which is the ability to loosely design the same component in three or four different ways, have them printed within a few hours and then test and learn from each prototype. This approach has been instrumental in allowing a small start-up company likes ours to maximize our output in terms of creativity and problem solving," says Alex Berry, MD of Sutrue.
3D printing
Concept Laser – now a part of GE Additive – has been working with Sutrue for almost three years with the printing of the very small and detailed parts that the automated suturing devices require.
"By using the high-resolution capabilities of our Mlab cusing R 3D printer, Sutrue has been able to successfully speed up the engineering process involved in the creation of their medical devices, through a process called rapid prototyping," says Stephan Zeidler, business development manager for the medical sector at Concept Laser. "Once designed by Sutrue, the structurally superior parts were printed by our team before Sutrue assembled them into numerous medical prototypes – sometimes straight from our printer with minimal post processing. This in turn saved considerable time and cost and has resulted in the completion of a series of fully-functioning medical prototypes. Sutrue's success in having achieved this is a fantastic example of what is possible with our DMLM machines and additive manufacturing technology. We are delighted that both devices are now mechanically sound and are ready for testing within medical industry."
Suture quickly, reproducibly, cleanly
This slender suturing device is inserted via a conventional endoscope the size of a drinking straw during the heart operation and moved into position. Its head can rotate and be pivoted in order to find any desired batch of tissue. The needle rotates softly and with pinpoint precision during suturing. This is possible thanks to a complex miniature gear mechanism that drives the needle. The entire gear mechanism is an AM assembly. What this innovation actually means for the operator is that the suture is pulled through quickly and cleanly and the stitch is automatically set in place. A few small stitches in arteries or in delicate structures are now possible. Each stitch can be performed with reproducible accuracy using the suturing device. Complicated operations in particular can be performed faster and more safely. Thanks to the suture device, up to three rotations of a needle per second are now possible, instead of one stich per 25 seconds while doing by hand. This reduces the risk associated with the operation for both, patients and surgeons.
Idea of stabilizing the heart muscle during the operation
In Great Britain alone, around half a million people live with a heart defect. Treatment with drugs only delivers very minor improvements to patients and often an operation on the heart is the only way to save a person's life. In Great Britain, cardiovascular disease is the second most common cause of death, accounting for 27% of deaths, after cancer, which accounts for 29% of all deaths. During open-heart surgery, the surgeon needs the heart muscle to be stabilized for an intervention to be made.
(Right: Automated suturing device from Sutrue. The head can be rotated and pivoted to place sutures in any position you want.)
Trimlett outlines the task: "We're doing a beating heart operation so the heart is in use by the body but we need to hold the small area that we're working on still. With the chest open we can put a big suction device in but when we're doing keyhole surgery we need very small parts that we can pass in and out. What we don't want to do is disadvantage the patient by offering them an inferior stability of the heart so that the quality of the operation isn't as good when you do it as a keyhole. I said to Alex, 'could you make something that comes apart in pieces, pass through a very small incision that we can use to hold the heart stable? Could we make it to throw it away and even customize it to the different shapes and sizes?'"
For Trimlett it was clear that the heart stabilizer should be small, be capable of being dismantled, and be designed with exposed channels pre-assembly. The role of the stabilizer is to keep the heart muscle still at the precise point where the surgeon wants to make an intervention. Alex Berry took on the task and presented a biocompatible prototype of the heart stabilizer: one part made of plastic (SLS) and one part made of metal (LaserCUSING). The component consists of a rod on which the U-shaped heart stabilizer is inserted, like a stamp. The surgeon presses the stabilizer onto the operating site that he wants to keep still to make an intervention.
Short development time and care for the patient
The heart stabilizer was successfully developed in just three months. Previously, it was not uncommon for such a new development to take up to ten years. The component itself is printed by ES Technology on an Mlab cusing from Concept Laser in the space of three to four hours. It consists of a metallic basic body and several plastic suction points that aspirate by means of a vacuum. Both parts are joined together using a sandwich technique.
"The solution is estimated to have cost only around £15,000 to develop. Comparable conventional developments used to cost upwards of a million pounds," says Berry to illustrate the relative sums involved.
But from Trimlett's point of view, it is primarily the patient who benefits from the new instruments using in heart operations. Here he cites an average rehabilitation time for the patient of around six months following a conventional surgical intervention. "Initial experience indicates that patients undergo a demonstrably gentler procedure and can recover after just three to four weeks."
"AM makes it possible to produce geometries that cannot be achieved using traditional manufacturing methods. In addition, the parts have greater performance capacity or functional precision, or else they are extremely delicate or small. This is often precisely what the surgeon was previously lacking," explained Alex Berry.
Sutrue relies on machine technology from Concept Laser
ES Technology, Concept Laser's UK distributor, manufactures the parts for the automated suturing device on an Mlab cusing machine using the LaserCUSING process, also known as 3D metal printing. The Mlab cusing is particularly suitable for manufacturing delicate parts where a high level of surface quality is demanded. The special thing about the compact machine is its very user-friendly, pull-out drawer system that is very safe at the same time. This includes both the build chamber with dose chamber and the storage container. It allows a rapid change of material without the risk of any contamination of powder materials. The patented drawer system is available with three different sizes of build envelope (50mm x 50mm x 80mm, 70mm x 70mm x 80mm, 90mm x 90mm x 80mm). Also available now is its big brother, the Mlab cusing 200R, which allows even greater productivity thanks to a doubling of the laser power from 100W to 200W. In addition, a larger build envelope has been created and this increases the build volume by as much as 54% (max. 100mm x 100mm x 100mm).
In this case, the machine technology from Concept Laser makes it possible to produce the teeth of the gear mechanism, which are just 0.4mm long. Up to 600 parts can be printed on one single build plate. After the tooth system has been removed from the powder bed, it does not require any finishing thanks to the very high accuracy of the metal-powder-based process. Stainless steel 316L is used. Alex Berry explains: "In addition to the restrictions on geometry, conventionally milled or cast parts have a few other drawbacks. It takes a great deal of time to get to the finished prototype. In addition, the costs are very high. In 3D printing the parts are produced very quickly and at a fraction of the previous costs of prototyping. But the potential for bionic designs, reproducibility, miniaturization and not least the reduction in the number of parts and outlay on assembly is also vast. If one looks at the full spectrum of optimizing manufacturing and product design coupled with an increase in functionality, 3D printing is capable of revolutionizing medical instruments."

Memorial Fitness Center - Second St., Bldg. 322 Fort Irwin Google Map
Indoor cycling puts things in full gear with its awesome tunes, control over resistance and speed, and overall intensity. Spinning is definitely no ride in the park, though. It will amp up VO2 max (the rate oxygen is carried to the muscles), a sign the body is being pushed. Plus, all that pedaling will work your quads, hamstrings, glutes, calves, and core. Studies have also found that indoor cycling can help shed unwanted pounds and potentially ward off migraines, while keeping impact on your joints to a minimum.

A word on the most idiotic film awards
No, I'm not talking about the Oscars. Is there any institution less mirthsome than The Golden Raspberry Awards? Don't get me wrong. I bow to nobody in my enthusiasm for turning wretched films into metaphorical peñatas. But the Razzies are …
No, I'm not talking about the Oscars. Is there any institution less mirthsome than The Golden Raspberry Awards? Don't get me wrong. I bow to nobody in my enthusiasm for turning wretched films into metaphorical peñatas. But the Razzies are just so deadeningly obvious. Year after year, they ignore genuinely abysmal performances and movies in favour of obvious star-laden minor misfires and — a favourite target — only modestly incompetent turns by pop stars. If you want to win one of these things just make sure to get Madonna's agent on the phone good and early. In short, they are far more in thrall to celebrity than the Oscars.
L ro R: Man, man, good egg, John J B Wilson.
Instituted back in 1980 by John J B Wilson, by all accounts a charming fellow, the worst picture has, in previous years, gone to such films as Mommie Dearest (a camp classic), Rambo: First Blood II (oh, come on!), Indecent Proposal (so original), Showgirls (see Mommie Dearest), Swept Away (ha ha! Madonna) and Catwoman (see Mommie Dearest).
The lowest moment for the Awards came, by many people's reckoning, in that first session, when they nominated Stanley Kubrick as worst director for The Shining. Actually, I think this was one of their better choices. Don't get me wrong. I don't agree with the selection. Indeed, that Stephen King adaptation is one of my favourite films. But, in this instance, they, at least, showed a degree of original thinking. (Only a degree, mind. Remember that The Shining actually opened to mixed reviews.)
Having made my feelings on the awards clear, I would have to admit that my answer to the big question — should nominees turn up to accept the award? — sounds slightly contrary. Of course you should. Awarding worst actress to Sandra Bullock last year for All About Steve was clearly a stunt. By that stage, it seemed clear that she was going to win the Oscar for The Blind Side. Nonetheless, for all the silliness of the Razzies, you do look like a good egg if you slope along and deliver a few quips. The most notable performance was that by Paul Verhoeven in 1995. The Dutch eccentric seemed genuinely delighted to triumph for Showgirls.
At any rate, this year, in a deliberate attempt to stir up fury on the internet (a perfectly honorable aim in itself), the organisers have handed out a staggering nine nominations to The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. Angry teenage boys will be delighted. Other multi-nomimated films include Vampires Suck, The Last Airbender and Sex and the City 2. Hey, even I think that last inclusion is too darn obvious.

DANBURY, Conn. – The Eastern College Athletic Conference announced the players of the week for the week ending October 29, and Salisbury University junior goalkeeper Trevor Brookhart was named the South Region Defensive Player of the Week for the second week in a row.
In Salisbury's final regular season match on Wednesday, October 25, Brookhart made two saves in a 6-1 win over Wesley College, helping the Sea Gulls clinch a Capital Athletic Conference playoff spot.
Brookhart made 10 saves in Salisbury's first round Capital Athletic Conference playoff match on Saturday, October 28 against York College of Pennsylvania. After allowing just one goal in 110 minutes of action, Brookhart helped send the game to a penalty kick shootout. In penalty kicks, Brookhart made a diving save on York's first attempt to put the Sea Gulls up in the early rounds. After reaching the 10th round of penalty kicks, Brookhart connected on his own penalty kick and saved the following York attempt, advancing the maroon and gold to the semifinals.
Salisbury is set to face top seed Christopher Newport University on Wednesday, November 1 at 5 p.m. in a CAC semifinal match. The winner will advance to the CAC championship game.

Recently I realized that it has been too long since I last sent out a round of postcards and emails to art directors. However, I had barely any new work in my portfolio for the AD's to look at. It's not that I haven't been drawing, but that most of what I've been drawing has been cozy mystery covers and Bible scenes (which I already have in my portfolio), or things under NDA. It was time to whip up some personal work.
I started out by visiting Barnes & Noble and browsing the children's book section for inspiration. As much as I want to love picture books, I am always, always drawn to the covers of middle-grade books. They just look so cool. I want to draw them all.
I started thinking about what I was doing when I was at the "middle-grade" age, and mostly what I remember is lots and lots of ballet. So I started drawing ballerinas.
But I just wasn't satisfied with drawing pretty ballerinas in front of pretty stage sets. I never feel satisfied until I have a drawing that suggests a story, and has some unique element or some tension in it. So I started drawing a circus ballerina standing on an elephant. Then I introduced a boy character, although I couldn't decide on exactly who he was. I laid in bed at night thinking about it - which always happens when I'm excited about a drawing.
Next I was browsing vintage circus photos on Pinterest and I came across photos of people on stilts. This gave me the idea for a bad guy - and suddenly I had my story.
Next I plan to create some black-and-white drawings of this story, as if it was a real book with interior illustrations. I'm not yet sure what those scenes are going to be, although I have a few ideas. So stay tuned for more adventures with Jez and Arielle and the Midnight Circus.

Asamoah could renew Juventus stay, says agent
Ghana midfielder Kwadwo Asamoah is likely to pen down a fresh contract with Italian giants Juventus, according to his agent Federico Pastorello.
The 28-year-old has one year left on his current deal after joining the club from Udinese in 2012, winning four Serie A titles. He has endured a troublesome knee injury, limiting him to a handful of games this season.
"He's happy, because he's finally getting better and playing more," Pastorello told Tuttosport.
Editors' Picks
- Kroenke, Wenger & wasted millions - Why Arsenal are in total disarray
- Man Utd's rampant front four expose Man City's problems - Tactical lessons from the Premier League weekend
- Kovac eyes Arsenal job as Gunners step up search for Emery replacement
- Guardiola's masterplan won't change despite Man City's crumbling title challenge
"I won't rule out that Asamoah could renew [his contract since it's coming to an end next season]," he added.
"Patrice was the first to know that Juventus would fight for the Champions League. He made a personal choice to leave and he doesn't regret it. At age 35, he needed to be a leader on the pitch and not just in the dressing room.
"He's so connected to them that I wouldn't be surprised to see him in Cardiff cheering for Juve if they were to make the final. Maybe he'll also start taking coaching notes. Trust me, Patrice will be a top coach.
Pastorello also admitted that Asamoah's Juventus are favourite as they face Monaco in the semi-finals of the Uefa Champions League.
"Monaco-Juventus? The Bianconeri are favourites, but they need to make sure they don't underestimate Monaco. That's what [Manchester] City did and they went out."
Asamoah has made 15 league appearances for Juventus this season, with a cameo appearance as the Old Lady eliminated Barcelona in the quarterfinals of the Champions League.

Costco Laptops & Desktops for the Holidays
If you live in suburbia, chances are you have more than a passing acquaintance with the wholesale warehouse chain Costco. The allure, of course, is in being able to buy almost anything dirt-cheap (assuming, of course, you're cool with buying in bulk). But these days, this retailer behemoth is also becoming known for offering laptops and desktops at lower prices than other stores.
The selection of desktops and laptops that Costco offers may seem familiar, but the model numbers and configurations are often unique to Costco. That means you can't find on the manufacturers' Websites or in other stores.
Costco also offers customers some added benefits. For example, whereas most vendors provide just a one-year warranty, Costco bumps that up to two years. It also offers Costco's Concierge Services, which a free service to Costco members who purchase electronics at the store. The service gives you access to technicians to walk you through system setup, product use, and for troubleshooting. Lastly, the store accepts returns within 90 days (which takes care of buyers' remorse).
But which system is right for you and your computing needs? Those little plaques in front of each PC only tell you so much. That's where we come in. We've reviewed and tested many of the desktops and laptops available at Costco this holiday season. So sit back, relax, and let us walk you through the different options. And maybe, just maybe, you may be picking up a new system when you stop by your local Costco for that 12-pack of paper towels.

HP Pavilion p6687c-b
The HP Pavilion p6687c-b desktop offers some nice features, including a 25-inch monitor and a massive hard drive, but it's missing a few, too. Despite its quad-core CPU, its performance is merely average.
HP Pavilion p6607c-b
|HP Pavilion Elite HPE-447c-b
With the HP Pavilion Elite HPE-447c-b desktop, you get a complete system, ready to go out of the box. However, despite its multi-core CPU and discrete graphics card, this desktop's performance is anything but elite.
|HP Pavilion p6627c-b
The HP Pavilion p6627c-b desktop is a complete system in a box. It's a little more complicated than an all-in-one desktop, but you have the added benefit of extra inputs for the monitor to give you more bang for your buck.
Acer Aspire AS5742-7645
The Acer Aspire AS5742-7645 laptop delivers excellent bang for your budget buck and a long-running battery, but it packages it all inside a boring, somewhat flimsy chassis.
Acer Aspire AS5742Z-4097
The Acer Aspire AS5742Z-4097 laptop covers the basics by supplying a dual-core CPU, a roomy 15.6-inch display, and a Webcam, while providing two years of coverage.
HP Pavilion dv7-4153cl
With its sleek aluminum case and gorgeous 17-inch display, the HP Pavilion dv7-4153cl laptop earns points for style, built-in Blu-ray drive, and battery life, but its overall performance is sluggish.
HP Pavilion dv6-3163cl
With the HP Pavilion dv6-3163cl laptop you get a stylish, metal-clad notebook with Core i5 power and a Blu-ray drive. Integrated graphics and a fair amount of bloatware are also part of the deal.
HP Pavilion dv6-3123cl
The HP Pavilion dv6-3123cl laptop isn't a standout as far as performance or extra features. But with its big hard drive, good battery life, pleasant design and price, it should be adequate to meet the average consumer's needs.
HP Pavilion dm4-1173CL
The HP Pavilion dm4-1173cl is a 14-inch laptop that offers competitive performance, a sleek design, and good typing experience.
HP Pavilion dv7-4183cl
The HP Pavilion dv7-4183cl takes speeds and battery performance to new levels while leaving the price where it is.
Sony VAIO VPC-EA3UFX/BJC
The Sony VAIO VPC-EA3UFX/BJC is a value-priced desktop replacement that matches the specs of our Editors' Choice, but Costco adds perks that no other retailer matches.
HP Pavilion dv6-3143cl
The HP Pavilion dv6-3143cl desktop replacement laptop is a solid multimedia machine, complete with a Blu-ray drive.

About a month ago Ken Angel handed me a big blue box of poems; this box, it turns out, holds many poets whose work Kenny illuminates and they then usually sign.
So, starting off, I open the box and who do I see behind a veil? Penny Arcade. Her poem is stapled so I may open and photograph that later; scanning it might wrinkle it. I am not one to unstaple something once the staples are in.
Below Penny we have Taylor Mead. Taylor being Taylor is without staples and, as always, is ready to go: a Valentine poem with a photo in Paris in 1966, a poem that borders on the cannibalistic. But before you say, "Oh my goodness!" remember every day was Valentine's Day when you were with Taylor who, carnivore or no, was one of the most lovable guys around.
Below, with Bill Rice, another lovable guy, is Taylor in Coffee and Cigarettes, the last scene from that film by Jim Jarmusch. It's called Champagne. If you haven't seen it before, enjoy Bill Rice and Taylor Mead, two lovable adorable men; every day I know somebody (sometimes it's me) misses them.
from Wikipedia (with some necessary edits): In Champagne, Bill Rice and Taylor Mead spend their coffee break having a nostalgic conversation, while Janet Baker singing "Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen" from Mahler's Rückert-Lieder appears from nowhere. Bill Rice repeats Jack White's line, "Nikola Tesla perceived the earth as a conductor of acoustical resonance." It is possible to interpret the relevance of this line to the constant recurrent themes throughout the seemingly unconnected segments.
