SOCHI, Russia — Each ice dance and pairs figure skating team at the Olympics will have no more than seven minutes of ice time, if they are lucky, to prove to a panel of judges and the world that they are a single unit, a duo that can twizzle, trot and leap harmoniously as one.
But year-round and off the ice, several teams have embarked on campaigns to project an image of unity. The result is a bounty of photographs, some shot and posed professionally, and a fire hose of social media images of the pairs palling around in a couple-y manner as extensions of the on-ice personas they hope will lead them to the podium.
While some Olympic figure skating and ice dance couples are romantically involved, most are not. Some are friends. Some are siblings. Some are talented athletes who like to skate together.
But in a subjective sport, often with suspect judging and with accusations of an ice dancing fix swirling, creating a passionate, united figure skating front has never been more critical.
When the pairs competition began at the London Games in 1908 — and even when ice dancing became an Olympic medal event at the Innsbruck Games in 1976 — the world of publicists, agents and athlete media machines was a fraction of the size it is now. In today's Internet-connected world, an athlete can go viral in seconds.
It is unclear what — if any — role, conscious or otherwise, off-ice portraiture plays in how judges, fans or potential sponsors view skaters. But top competitors do not appear to be taking chances.
Visit the website of the Canadian ice dancers Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir, the defending Olympic champions, and you will find images that seem as if they should be accompanied by a Save the Date notice and a bridal registry. The two look longingly into each other's eyes, frolic through a pond with fishing lines in tow and blow bubble gum together.
Myra Klarman, a photographer based in Ann Arbor, Mich., who took the photos, says she does not usually accept to-be-wed couples as clients, so she was surprised when the skaters contacted her. She considered it a positive when Virtue and Moir told her they were not actually dating.
"I don't want to do kissy-kissy pictures," Klarman said.
The Russian ice dancers Elena Ilinykh and Nikita Katsalapov, part of the contingent that captured the first-ever gold medal in the team event on Sunday, opted for embraces against leafy backdrops. Their teammates in the pairs competition, Tatiana Volosozhar and Maxim Trankov, did a similar eyes-to-the-camera hug.
Most of the skaters say the exercise of posing for off-ice photography is not an awkward one, but rather an extension of their performances and a chance to cultivate relationships with fans. The American sister-brother ice dancing pair Maia and Alex Shibutani, known as the Shib sibs, have a photo arsenal that includes classical poses in front of an autumnal courtyard. They said that in an Olympic year, having high-resolution photographs can be critical.
"We try to be authentic with how we come across and who we are as people," Maia Shibutani said.
Alex Shibutani added: "Ice dance is a unique sport in the Olympic Games. There's the unique blend of sport and art. We want there to be some of that off the ice as well. So when people look for you on the Internet, regardless of what your personality is off the ice, it would be kind of confusing if we were doing a very elegant program to Michael Bublé and our website was chock-full of photos of me wearing sweats and baseball hats."
In a series of professionally shot photographs, the American ice dancers Meryl Davis and Charlie White, the six-time national champions who won the silver medal at the 2010 Vancouver Games, posed on opposite sides of trees, in fields and leaning on bridges side by side. They are not dating. "We're a team on and off the ice in a lot of respects," Davis said. "We've grown as we've gotten older to understand what an ice dance team means, on and off the ice. I think enjoying those things and showing ourselves as a united front in every way is really important to us."
Last summer, the Canadian ice dancers Kaitlyn Weaver and Andrew Poje had Broadway-themed photographs taken in New York in preparation for the program they are performing at the Olympics, which is inspired by the musical "42nd Street." The two, who describe themselves as best friends, said it helped them get in the mood for the performance.
"It helped us live the story because that's what Peggy Sawyer in the musical did," Weaver said, referring to one of the main characters.
Poje said: "Initially, it was just for us. We weren't really thinking of what we would do for the photos. It was more just for our experiences and to take it in. Anything that happened with them was a bonus."
Some ice skating pairs, however, have taken outside image-building to another, more quirky level. The German ice dancers Nelli Zhiganshina and Alexander Gazsi have long prided themselves on their unusual costumes, routines and offbeat image, in and out of competition.
In the team event at the Games, Gazsi performed as a bespectacled nerd, with Zhiganshina as a high-society lass. They have skated as pirates, clowns and a prince and princess.
But perhaps their most memorable on-ice role is that of zombies; they gleefully posted images of the behind-the-scenes preparations for the routine, including a posed snapshot of Gazsi chomping into the neck of Patrick Chan of Canada, the world champion singles skater.
"Everyone is doing these love numbers," Gazsi, without nerd glasses or green zombie makeup, said after a practice session in Sochi. "Especially the ice dance couples. Normally, they're the love guys with the love stories, and we try and make something completely different."
"I think a lot of couples are afraid to look funny or stupid," said Zhiganshina, who has not been afraid to compare photographs of her awkward on-ice facial expressions to those of the "Star Wars" character Jar Jar Binks.
On or off the ice, she added, "we're not afraid anymore."

Latest Athletics News
Christine Ohuruogu hung up her boots at 34
Great Britain's modern-day pioneer in Athletics, ChrisitneOhuruogo called a day on her illustrious career, and this decision comes just a few days before the start of the World Championship. Christine won gold at 2008 Beijing Olympics after she won the World Championship a year before. Her dark and glorious days intertwined little bit, as she was on the verge of getting suspended by British Olympic Association due to failed drug tests, but bylaws had other plans.
Christine won the World Championship held in Moscow in 2013 after securing silver in the 2012 London Olympics. She cited niggling injuries and study pressure as reasons that kept her from getting in the mix, and after a wave of emotions she feels that it was a much-needed break. She reflected on her career and remarked her 4 Olympic medals and 5 World Championship medals as testimonies to her career.
Louzanne Coetzee setting Berlin ablaze
The South African athlete took centre stage in Berlin where she broke her own women's 5000m record, but also the women's T11 800m. Coetzee was at the top of her game as she finished the latter at 2.25 minutes. Coetzee hasn't had the best of starts but her showings in 2016 Brazil Paralympics showed glimpses of her talents, and it was until previous year where she grew into her element and took the World by storm. Her T11 800m event makes her the fastest African ever in that category.
Katarina Johnson-Thompson keeping herself down to earth
The 25-year old athlete has been termed a prodigy on several times and her Commonwealth Games Heptathlon win is a testimony to her talents. However, Katarina comes of as the reserve kind and has kept her humility intact. She feels the peak is yet to be reached, but she will build on from her experience at Gold Coast in April. Katarina was earmarked as to take the baton from the hands of Dennis Lewis and Jessica Ennis-Hill, but after 3 World Championships, she hasn't got the fruitful results.
However, she feels heptathletes hit their peak a tad south of 20. Katarina has made many alterations to her approach and after her split with mentor and coach Mike Holmes, she is now under the guidance of Bertrand Valcin. This comes as a huge step as she set up her camp in the South of France, few thousand kilometres from her home in Liverpool. However, Katarina believes all these sacrifices are going to help her in the long run.

- Registrant Outreach Community
- Registrant Committee
- Registrant Resources
Topical Guide for Registrants
- Contact Us
The mission of the Registrant Outreach program is to promote strong proactive compliance practices by registrants by opening the lines of communication between the Ontario Securities Commission and Chief Compliance Officers, as well as other senior officers of registered portfolio managers, investment fund managers, exempt market dealers and scholarship plan dealers.
To encourage an interactive and open dialogue between registrants and the OSC, this dedicated webpage will:
- provide registrants with easy access to useful, compliance related information
- outline upcoming educational seminars
- facilitate ongoing communication through a subscription service, or through other direct contact methods described below
Registered firms and individuals with strong compliance practices foster confidence in the capital markets and promote increased investor protection. Registrants are encouraged to visit this page frequently to enhance their awareness of current issues in the capital markets that are important to them, and about upcoming outreach initiatives in which they may wish to participate.
Registered Firms in Ontario
The OSC oversees approximately 1,300 firms and 67,000 individuals in Ontario that trade or advise in securities or commodity futures, or act as investment fund managers. Although the OSC registers firms in the categories of mutual fund dealer and investment dealer, these firms and individuals are directly overseen by their self-regulatory organizations, the Mutual Fund Dealers Association of Canada and the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada, respectively.
Educational Seminars
Education and outreach to registrants are important elements of the OSC Registrant Outreach program. As part of its mission to foster a culture of compliance and to protect investors, the outreach program is offering a series of seminars on a variety of topics that are specifically tailored to compliance and registration issues affecting registrants. Led by OSC staff and industry representatives, participants will benefit from the training on regulatory issues affecting registrants.
The seminars are offered free of charge. Please visit the Calendar of Events to see a description of the seminars being offered, the related agendas and to register online. All presentation materials will be archived under Registrant Resources after the seminar.
Registrant Outreach Community
The OSC encourages registrants and other industry participants to join the Outreach Community to receive regular updates on issues affecting them. If you are not a Chief Compliance Officer that is already receiving E-mail blasts from us, sign up to become a member of the Registrant Outreach Community and receive notice of initiatives and publications affecting registrants. These notices will provide subscribers with further direction on compliance related matters and the OSC's expectations.
To receive regular updates, join the Registrant Outreach Community.
Registrant Committee
The OSC formed its Registrant Advisory Committee (RAC) to serve as a forum to discuss issues and challenges faced by registrants in interpreting and complying with Ontario securities law, including registration and compliance related matters.
The RAC also plays a consultative role by providing feedback to the OSC on the development and implementation of policy and rule making initiatives that promote investor protection and fair and efficient capital markets.
Debra Foubert, Director of the Compliance and Registrant Regulation Branch, Chairs the RAC. The RAC is composed of members representing the different registration categories and business models overseen by the OSC. The Committee meets approximately four to six times per year, in addition to possible ad hoc meetings as required, with members serving two-year terms.
Registrant Resources
The Registrant Resources section of the webpage provides registrants and other industry participants with easy, centralized access to recent compliance related materials, many of which are contained elsewhere on the OSC website.
Topical Guide for Registrants
The Topical Guide for Registrants provides registrants and other industry participants with easy, centralized access to compliance and registration guidance materials, organized by topic. The guidance materials in the Topical Guide for Registrants can also be found elsewhere on the OSC website.

Are you a family of happy campers? Or do you shun sleeping bags, bug spray, and dry shampoo? The good news for families who fall somewhere in the middle is that getaways in the great outdoors don't have to involve pitching a tent. Many national and state parks offer an array of lodging options that range from rustic cabins to resort-like lodges.
For example, Ohio has 74 state parks with a variety of accommodations, including resort lodges and private cottages to rustic camper cabins with cots or bunks. The most luxurious options are the Ohio State Park Lodges, which offers an affordable resort-like experience complete with full-service dining rooms, golf courses, and a raft of family-friendly amenities and activities. Most of the lodges overlook a large lake and offer a marina with boat rentals and water sports.
Accommodations in state park lodges are modern and comfortable, with a variety of room configurations, including some with loft areas or kid-friendly bunk beds. Cabins with full kitchens and living rooms provide a convenient gathering space for intimate family cookouts and late-night card games. Lodges also offer satellite TV and high-speed wifi. All lodges also have a variety of pet-friendly rooms or cabins.
Looking for a budget-friendly location for a family reunion? Ohio State Park Lodges give families the opportunity to lay down roots with the "Family Tree" program. Base your reunion at any of the five Ohio State Park Lodges and you can receive a free tree to plant in the state park during your stay. In future years, your family can chart the tree's growth just as you chart the growth of the youngest child in your family.Families that plan a minimum two-night reunion with at least 15 rooms or cabins qualify for the "Family Tree" program.
Ohio's five state park lodges provide a wide assortment of activities for all ages. During the summer, lodges offer supervised children's activities including crafts and water games. Families can try group geocaching, a high-tech treasure hunt using hand-held GPS units to search for treasures hidden in the parks. Other possible group activities include paintball, golf, Olympic Challenge Games, scavenger hunts, zip-lining, high ropes courses, and more. Lodges also offer basketball, volleyball, archery, disc golf, shuffleboard, horseshoes, and indoor and outdoor pools. At the lakes, there are beaches and activities such as fishing, boating, canoeing, and kayaking. Families can arrange for a naturalist to take them mushroom-hunting, bird-watching, fishing or butterfly-hunting in the season. Other kid-friendly nature programs include owl prowls, family fishing, and turtle discussions.
Operated by Xanterra Parks & Resorts, the five Ohio State Park Lodges are located close to major Ohio cities and surrounding states, making it easy for families to gather from a variety of locations.

"I'm crazy about Rachel," said Allen of the star of this year's Midnight in Paris. "I have great adoration and lust and interest in all of the women in my films. It would thrill me to go out with all of them."
"I wanted to work with Naomi Watts for a long time," the director said of his leading lady in You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger (Cannes 2010). "She was very funny and very sexy."
"I didn't know Penélope from a hole in the wall," Allen said of the star of Vicky Cristina Barcelona (Cannes 2008). "But when she came into my screening room, I was stunned: She was even more beautiful than in the movies. I wrote the part for her, and I never saw anyone else."
"For years, I loved Téa Leoni from Flirting With Disaster," said Allen. "I'm very critical of my own work, but Hollywood Ending [Cannes 2002] did not get the audience it deserved."
"My first real make-out session in my life was with Woody in a hansom cab in front of a camera crew," said Hemingway of her pivotal moment in Manhattan (Cannes 1979) at age 16. "After we had done the scene once, I said to the cinematographer, 'We don't have to do that again, do we?'"

the beginning of fall and the last of the tomatoes (about 10 kg) from my garden are ready for sauce. this is the second batch we've processed in the last couple of weeks, much to my surprise as i only grew 10 plants this year (we bought another 24 kg for canning).
my friend sheila, another avid gardener on vancouver island, shared her sauce recipe with me 2 years back and it's definitely a keeper in our house!
with small embellishments here is sheila's recipe for perfect tomato sauce.
« I have used this recipe for years and it never fails. I usually make it in the
summer as we have a vegetable garden and always end up with too many
tomatoes, I then make in batches, for the freezer. I use a lot of garlic in this
recipe but that's because we love it and the garlic sweetens in the roasting
process. I have strained the sauce at times to remove the seeds. Though most
people don't mind tomato seeds. »
- 2 lbs large tomatoes (i do a large tray on the bbq, about 4 lbs or 2 kg*)
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian herb seasoning (i use a tablespoon full*)
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar (optional)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (1 for the tray and one to drizzle over the tomatoes*)
putting it together:
Preheat the oven/grill to 400°f. 205°c.
Slice tomatoes in half, set aside. (i give them a squeeze to get out some seeds and juice*)
Pour the olive oil onto a large baking sheet and spread it around the sheet.
Sprinkle evenly the garlic, herbs, sugar, salt and pepper over the oil.
Place the tomatoes cut side down onto the baking sheet (optional: add sliced peppers on top and drizzle with olive oil) shake the italian herb mixture over the lot*)
Roast for about 30-40 minutes, or until the skins start to lift from the tomatoes. (i roast mine for about an hour until they are just getting dark caramelising on top*)
Allow to cool.
Remove the skins and put the sauce into a large bowl and break up the flesh with a fork. (…we invested in an italian tomato mill to process the mixture, it removes the skin and seeds quickly*)
Reheat sauce if using immediately.
sheila's comments:
« I've been making this sauce and freezing it sucessfully for several years. (we bag ours in ziploc bags for freezing*) I press it in a mill to remove the seeds and skins once it has cooled. I have discovered that salt takes away the bitterness. I know some suggest sugar but salt works too. »
« It's good if you roast a tray of sweet peppers with a tray of tomatoes and combine them. Roasting reduces the water content so you get a more intense tomato taste.
No stirring. I use parchment paper on the baking sheets. »

will delivered his latest banjo last week, #007. it didn't go to james bond, but to a local gentleman who wanted a 'vermont themed' banjo featuring all local woods and vermont themed inlays. the cherry was from arlington, the walnut from rupert, and the hardhack fretboard was from a friend in south dorset. overall a pleasing combination of woods, colors, antiqued brass hardware and fine music … there is a video clip with sound, both clawhammer and fingerpicking style on will's website, seedersinstruments.com it sounded great to me and the client was thrilled … there are more photos, both finished and in process at this link to my dorset customfurniture blog.
i also couldn't resist posting one of our other 'vermont' products, sam's metal beltbuckles … he makes lots of different styles with fish, turkeys, mountains, chainsaws and stuff, but the map of vermont is his most popular … #160 something and counting. there is another banjo post on my blog where will made a new 5 string neck neck for a 100 year old banjo pot that was missing its original mandolin style neck … also a sweet project with a polished steel pot and historically copied inlay details … that post is here if you are interested in banjo history or instrument making.

Fantstic banjo! I love the sound of it on the video. I would really like to learn to play. If I could have any banjo, this would be the one. I love the look of it, it is simply elegant. Nice work!

Life is like a game of chess. We are constantly trying to outwit nature as we make our killer moves. We have such grandiose plans of "making it big", "living with purpose", "doing something useful", "giving back to society" or whatever plan we come up with. We are so desperate to make a life based on our conditioning, our definitions, social mores, cultures and what not, to give our lives meaning.
But when you really really sit down to think of it, life is nothing but the dots that connect one human being to another and everything that transpires in the lifetime of that connection and the journey of that dot from one to another.
I realised all this because of something unexpected that happened. Just a week ago, well almost, my youngest maternal aunt contracted dengue. She collapsed at the General Practitioner's clinic, my uncle rushed her to the hospital and we all rushed as family to provide the necessary support. We gave our time, physical help, moral support, food, kept watch over her and prayed. During the course of this episode in my life I saw something unfold. It was like a story being woven out of the cocoon of a life that had taken ill. As a niece, sister, husband, daughter or son, I saw how all these varied and multiple relationships take on a different hue when something sudden, unexpected and disturbing and drastic happens to our loved ones. We are shaken to the core. Life as we know it stops for a heartbeat, a heartbeat that's longer than a lifetime. Between one inhale and exhale our lives come to a standstill. We pray for health, we think of life without that loved one, we face fear of regret and are afraid to confront the truth of our lives and holding on by a tenuous thread. Yet when the Earth is firm beneath our feet, we live life without a care in the world about the people we care about. They're there, we're there, and everything in life will continue forever. It's like wearing stilletoes for 25 years believing that varicose veins will never compel us to discard them heels. Hah!
What do we go through when news of some imminent danger hits our emotional antennae?
For the son who is tens of thousands of miles away, there is worry, there is hope, there is prayer, there is a certain detachment(perhaps) as it's the sheer distance that makes danger seem not so profound or fatal. "Everything will be fine" is perhaps the underlying mantra.
For the husband, he's worried about how life will continue. Who will feed, clean, take care of all the nitty gritties? "Will everything be fine" is his underlying query.
For the daughter away on work in another city, the sheer paranoia perhaps mixed with hours, days, weeks, months and years of piling on the stress of her slightly dysfunctional life and the hidden guilt (my assumption here of course) creates a tsunami of emotions that unleashes itself in the form of heart wrenching sobs when she sees her mother."God I want everything to be fine" is her underlying hope. Relief, guilt, fear, anger, hope – it's like a Molotov cocktail, fiery and dangerous.
For the sisters, there's genuine worry and fear and offering of prayer that all will be well."Hope everything will be fine" is their underlying emotion.
For the niece, it's about pushing away fear and taking charge of a situation and somehow trying to bring about normalcy and control – burying worry and fear deep where no one can see. "It will be fine" is her underlying belief.
We take our lives and of those around us so much for granted that the mere whiff of an aberration – illness, a sudden accident, a death, moving away from a city, a fight leading to permanent "blocking" out of the person, "unfriending" on FB, ending of a relationship /marriage, bankruptcy, natural disaster – anything, just about anything related to those we know and love puts our lives in complete disarray.
I remember when I was moving from Bombay to Bangalore 15 years ago, I felt my heart would leap out of my chest with pain and fear as I had no idea what I was heading towards, and I knew what I was leaving behind. My friends, familiarity, a way of life. Many of those friends and colleagues I no longer keep in touch with. I have moved on as have they am sure. Many of those people I thought would be my besties for life had milestones in life – marriage, babies, promotions, new property investments, cars, new colleagues, new friends – that old friends like me weren't on the radar. After all out of sight is out of mind. I tried in my own limited way to keep in touch and somehow keep the intensity of friendship alive. Today it's dead. While I say I don't care about those who don't care about me, it still hurts. Why? Because a bond that was sacred to me and which I took for granted that it'd be alive and well and kicking, could not withstand a wee bit of geography playing spoilsport. Therefore the rest is history.
It's frightening to feel the ground slip from under your feet when a loved one who was there like a rock suddenly seems frail and mortal. The possibility of leading a life without that pillar suddenly hits you in the solar plexus. Panic sets in and all hell breaks loose. In that instant when one's entire life flashes by and when you sink your head in regret, shame, fear, guilt and helplessness, you resolve to make it good, all you need is one more chance. Please.
And then your loved one is home. You can exhale. The ground beneath your feet isn't as slippery as before. Life is pink and rosy and you can make your plans once again. Your pride, ego and "life is hunky dory" belief snaps into place. It's yesterday once more. Time to take things for granted once again, until the next time. Human nature is funny isn't it? And oh so foolish!

CF Indios struggles on the road continued today as the could not hold a lead and had to settle for a 1-1 tie against Cruz Azul Hidalgo. This tie for the Indios moves them down to 7th place in the general standings, with 15 points, which is the last playoff spot for this league as the leader in the general standings get a first round bye in the playoffs.
Eduardo Lillingston scored for the Tribe in the 48th minute of the game. Cruz Azul Hidalgo tied the game in the 80th minute.
There was more bad news for the Indios other than letting the 3 points slip from there grasp. Team Captain, Juan De La Barrera was red carded in the 87th minute of the game and will miss the next Indios game on Saturday night against Pumas Morelos. Until next time, VAMOS Indios!!!

Hey guys. I'm in a pretty cold climate here in NY. As of right now I'm gearing my shop with a torpedo heater. I've been doing a little research about heating a shop safely. While doing that I found out about rocket heaters. I have access to 55 gallon drums and want to know if anyone uses this method of heating. If so how did you build your stove? I originally wanted to build a standard wood stove out of the barrel but this seems MUCH more efficient.

I don't know but looks interesting for sure. Pocket rockets work wonderfully as camping/backpacking stoves. Same idea, smaller scale. I'd definitely like to look at this as a home heating option in our new house.
#2 posted 01-26-2014 11:22 PM
I am fortunate as my shop is part of the house and is partially heated by it.
Please be careful when using a wood stove to heat your shop. I might also mention that if you use a home made wood burner, you could have some issues with your insurance coverage.
#3 posted 01-27-2014 12:03 AM
I looked at them for some time and my shop is just too small to give up the space for the large thermal bank needed to see the benefits. I sketched up a few ideas trying to make a smaller version (on rollers) that would have enough mass to make it worthwhile. It would be easy to end up with the equivalent of a wood burning stove if not done right.

A bullet would be quicker.
I've heated with wood my whole life. I heated my home with only wood for whole winters (no oil, propane, electricity, or other heat source). My parents in Maine still heat their home with wood exclusively.
Building a stove out of a barrel and putting it in your shop does not seem like a good idea. If it is attached to your house it seems like a suicidal idea. If you do not live alone, it seems like a homicidal idea.
I agree that its an interesting design, but i'm skeptical about the efficiency claims. It might be the best invention since sliced bread, but I think it's a bit crazy to test it in your shop. If you feel like you really need to heat your shop with a stove, buy a jotul, or the most time tested, bombproof stove you can afford. Then learn everything you can about using it safely.
You will almost certainly void your insurance policy if you install a rocket stove. It might void your insurance to put in any kind of solid fuel stove. Talk to your insurance agent before you do anything.
After you do that, take a look at monte's post this week…

I used a wood stove for years, not as dangerous as a tablesaw. The only other thing I will say is that any stove that vents combustion products inside the building uses up oxygen and puts moisture in the air. That can lead to rusty tools!

permies.com, a permaculture website, has whole forums dedicated to the topic of rocketstoves. best source of practical info on the subject i've found. good luck.
#7 posted 01-27-2014 02:05 AM
Thanks for the concern nick. I actually have a detached shop and it's a block structure. If I do build one I definitely WILL NOT be testing it in the shop. I've worked to hard to lose it all for a little heat. I actually have the same concerns and that's why I posted this forum. I'm looking for anyone who does have experience with this style of stove to ensure I don't blow up anything. I've seen montes post and again one if the reasons I'm asking if anyone has experience with rocket stoves to validate their claims of efficiency and safety. Thanks again for the concern. If anyone has first hand experience I'd appreciate it

Vertigo: I owe you an apology. I re-read my post and it was definitely over the top. I'd remove it if i could, but you can only do so within an hour of posting. The rocket stove is definitely an interesting design, and it sounds like there are tens of thousands out there, so it definitely can be done. I have no firsthand experience, so my post didn't add anything.
I'm just really leery of homemade wood stoves. I can remember a chimney fire growing up that almost took our house with it and it made me pretty OCD when it comes to fire. At any rate, I wish you the best of luck, and I don't doubt that you love your shop as much of the rest of us, and you're already doing the due diligence and research Iike posting here, to make sure you do it safely.
I'll be curious and genuinely interested to hear about the build and how the rocket stove performs for you. Best of luck.

Thanks nick. I didn't take offense buddy. No worries. The chimney fire thing is one of the reasons I was looking into this stove. "Supposedly" it burns everything so efficiently there are no creosote deposits. But it seems like the only info is almost like a sales pitch on it. That's why I want to see if anyone can help me out on it or if anyone has a design. I would put in a regular stove but I don't want to run a triple wall chimney through my roof. All of that adds up. But again thank you for apologizing, but trust me no need. You're a good man Charlie Brown

A rocket stove, now that title gave me a mental image of a old NASA rocket you got from spare parts and had rigged up to be your heating source. ROFLMAO.
I have used them at work and they do provide alot of heat. Two things I noticed in using them.
We still use them because at the end of the day I am not freezing my tail off and must have some warmth. But we do turn them off frequently and always before using the welding equipment. Like someone else mentioned your insurance agent is probably not going to give you a green light.
STAY WARM, somehow anyway right?

Thanks wood butcher. I have a torpedo heater burning diesel now so I was kind of hoping to avoid the fumes. That's one of the reasons I was looking into the rocket heater. Are your stoves vented outside ? Thanks again for the info

In my home shop I have a 220vt one ton heat pump with 4 heat strips as aux heat, I run this to warm the shop up before I go out on a cold day. Once I am working in the shop I have a smaller 110vt electric heater I use to warm the section I am working in as long as dust density is low. This works well in the warmer climate we have in Georgia relative to say Nebraska where it is insane cold at the moment. I have 100 amp service in the shop so load is not an issue but that does not mean I enjoy the bill when it comes if we have an extended cold snap ya know.

Permies has some good info but it is mostly the Paul Ernie and Erica show. If you really want to see innovation in rocket stoves look at http://donkey32.proboards.com/ . These people are really pushing the design ideas of these things.
This design looks interesting to me:
Permies is all about heating mass, or building a bench, bed and hanging out on it all winter. In a shop you need to heat air and you need to heat it fast.

Five things to watch: Colorado at No. 3 Oregon
Here is my weekly installment of Five Things to Watch — this time for Saturday afternoon's (2:30 p.m., Pac-12 Network) Colorado at No. 3 Oregon matchup:
1. Can Colorado's defense contain Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota enough to keep the likely Heisman Trophy winner from running wild? As CU defensive coordinator Kent Baer said this week, there's often nobody on the field fast enough to catch the 6-foot-5, 219-pound Hawaiian. "He's the best I've seen," Baer added.
2. Will CU redshirt freshman running back Phillip Lindsay follow up his 114 yards against Arizona with a productive effort against Oregon?
3. Can Buffs sophomore quarterback Sefo Liufau avoid the turnover bug? Liufau has been responsible for six giveaways in the past two games, with a combined three interceptions and three lost fumbles against Washington and Arizona.
4. How will Colorado's safeties hold up against perhaps the nation's most explosive offense? With five Buffs safeties down because of injuries, one former scout team member, ex-walk-on Richard Yates II, is expected to be a starter, and another, redshirt freshman walk-on Ryan Moeller, could be a top reserve.
5. And the obvious — How many snaps, if any, will CU backup quarterback Jordan Gehrke get?

Capturing Our Stories
On a chilly evening in mid November, eight people gathered in my apartment. as we went around the room introducing ourselves we all mentioned our favorite food for the upcoming Thanksgiving meal. For three of us it was the cranberry sauce—but we all had particular preparations in mind, and individually rich stories to accompany the recipes. This was the first group meeting of the newly formed Capturing Our Stories (COS) committee, led by my co-chair Toni Siegel and me. Our mission is to gather stories of BJ members: to learn who we are, where we come from, and who we want to be.
The idea is to capture our stories and compile a video library of footage that would be available for many purposes from documentary, to research, to marketing; the opportunities are endless.
One person in the meeting shared that her father had written an autobiography, which proved an invaluable treasure for the family. Indeed. A number of years ago, when my father first got a computer, he decided to write an account of his experience in World War II, partly to correct an erroneous account he had read in a book, but mostly just to put down his story—make sure someone would know it. Its 20 or so pages are infused with his own brand of humor and prankster mentality (evident even back then in his 19-year-old self) and weighed down with a healthy dose of fear. At his shiva my mother displayed The Military History of Harold Ginsberg or How We Defeated Germany in World War II proudly and prominently. Everyone read it. Though he was a big storyteller in life, many of us had never heard his own personal story. This was the one he wanted to make sure he had the chance to tell.
At the end of that first meeting, we decided to hold a big group intensive training/ interviewing day. On Sunday, January 8, 11 volunteers with huge hearts and eager ears showed up at the BJ office for the first training session to practice some basic interviewing techniques and figure out some technical aspects of shooting video. With video, we can capture the spoken word, facial expressions, and the animation of the interviewee and also feature artifacts and meaningful objects.
We started the day capturing the story of BJ member and fellow COS volunteer Ellen Turk, who talked about her recent search to find her past in her grandparents' communities in Belarus as well as about her youth as a social activist, and the joy of being the mother of BJ musician Matt Turk. In the afternoon we recorded the story of longtime BJ member Vivian Yale who by age 7 had lost her mother and by age 20 had married the camp counselor she met years prior. Her constant quest for treating people with dignity led the couple to later join the Westchester delegation of the now-famous March on Washington. Thanks to both Ellen and Vivian for sharing your lives and dreams with us. and thank you to Andrea Newman, Ellen Turk, Harriet Abraham, Ilene Richman, Ivan and Sue Rosenblum, Linda Marshall, Michel Evanusa, Rochelle Friedlich, Sian Gibby, and Susan Sanders for helping to capture our stories!
The day was incredibly productive and a lot of fun, so we'll be scheduling additional training days. We are planning to add many more recollections to a library already graced with the beautiful stories of Nancy Greenblatt, Jack Richard, Joe Antenson, Larry Gifford, Ellen Turk, and Vivian Yale. Only 3,994 to go! If you would like to join us as part of the interview team or if you would like to be interviewed, please contact Belinda Lasky. Everyone has a story to tell.

We're an Animation Production Company, Too.
Project Outline //
Everyone's seen, hear, and ignored the barrage of loud and aggressive car commercials leading up to essentially every holiday weekend ever. We know it's hard to be heard over the ruckus, and and so did this client. That's why they decided to go with something fresh and different. A visual treat that would stick with viewers and help them stand out from the crowd.
Using custom photography and graphics, we created a series of motion graphic-only commercials to run before, during, and after Memorial Day this year for a family-owned Houston dealership. The results were unlike anything in the local market, truly distinguishing the client as a forward thinking company that cares about quality and detail.

The Nourishing Line: A family of nourishing, revitalizing and fortifying products for the wellbeing of the scalp and for dry, brittle, damaged hair.

Description: Nourishing shampoo for dehydrated scalp and dry and brittle hair.
Its creamy texture produces a full-bodied, rich foam, whilst the mixture of gentle surfactants gently washes the hair structure.

26.2 miles: a number that seems beyond the wildest dreams of most people. But what if you've run a few 5ks and want to work up to the real McCoy? Training for your first marathon can be intimidating, but a structured training routine and practical advice can make it happen. So follow this advice and you can join the masses running through your city.
Start Slow
This advice applies to both before and during the race. Don't go headlong into a marathon as your first distance running challenge. Start with a 5k, then a 10k, then a half marathon. Once you've proven to yourself you can handle a long run it is time to start training.
The same strategy applies the day of the race. It will be your natural instinct to surrender to the adrenaline and go all out the first few miles. Don't fall into your 5k pace to start the race! You want to slowly ramp up to your pace speed once you've gotten some distance under your belt.
Choose Your Course
Not all marathons are created equal. Yes, all are the same 26.2 miles. But the terrain can vary widely, from the relatively flat Houston course to more hilly circuits like Baltimore and San Francisco. Most beginners prefer to run a flat course, so that they don't expend extra energy coping with elevation challenges.
Also, keep in mind the expected temperature. Some people can handle cold and drizzle no problem. But if you're a little wimpy in the elements you'll want a course that's likely to have a moderate climate.
Don't Get Fancy With Your Food
Your body will crave sugar, carbs, and electrolytes as the miles roll by and the sweat keeps pouring out. Gels are a popular way to replenish these lost nutrients, but tread carefully. You will have to carry them with you in your pockets while you run which is uncomfortable. Sports drinks accomplish the same task and are passed out by helpful volunteers along the way. If you do take gels during the run, make sure that your body is used to them in training, and take them with water.
Also, don't eat anything you haven't eaten 1000 times before on the morning of the big race. Some newbie marathon runners load up on all kinds of powders and supplements that they haven't had before and end up upsetting their stomach.
Set Aside Plenty of Time To Train
Your coworkers know you're pretty athletic, so they ask you if you're going to run the local marathon with them next month. Sign up deadline is next week, so you put down your name. Surely 8 weeks is enough time to get into shape if you skip a few rest days, right?
If you don't plan to finish and want to injure yourself along the way, then that's a great plan! But most runners will need anywhere between 18 and 24 weeks to get into proper shape. Most training routines suggest running about 4 days a week, alternating between short runs (6-8 miles), medium runs (10-14 miles), and long runs (14-20 miles). Days off give your body time to rest.
A religious stretching routine should take place everyday. Most marathoners choose to taper off their training a few weeks prior to the marathon, saving their body by only going on shorter runs.
If you're planning your first marathon, you're in luck! The marathon community is incredibly supportive and welcoming to newcomers. Find some other runners in your area and they'll help you train along the way. Happy trails.

This is the latest in Magoosh's series on prefixes in TOEFL Vocabulary. Today, we're going to look at the prefix bi-.
The meaning of bi- in TOEFL vocabulary
The meaning of bi- is pretty simple– it means two! Bi– is used in words that describe two of something, or describe something that has been divided into two parts. Bi- is in the same class as other numerical prefixes such as uni– (which means one), tri (or three), and quad– (4). To see bi– in relation to other prefixes of number, read the Magoosh Comic below.
Examples of bi- in TOEFL vocabulary
- In a TOEFL lecture from a political science class
The a bicameral system… where one group of lawmakers balances the power of another…. Well, it's a very common form of government in modern nations. But it started thousands of years ago. The plebians and patricians of the Roman Empire would be an older example.
- In a TOEFL Reading passage
Unlike classical European architects, Frank Lloyd Wright did not favor symmetry and balance in his building designs. In many cases, both the exteriors and interiors of his structures were bisected unevenly, with each distinct space in having its own unique shape and size.
- From a conversation between a student and an academic adviser in TOEFL Listening
OK, but are your really sure I'll benefit from studying a new foreign language for the next few semesters? I mean, I don't know if I can become fully bilingual in less than two years.
The takeaway
If you aren't familiar with every bi- word in this post, don't feel bad. The real value of knowing the meaning of bi- is that you'll be better at guessing the meanings of words that contain this prefix. Use a dictionary to check any guesses you made– if you really think about prefix, grammar, and context, there's a good chance your guesses will be correct.

Ms. Sonya R. McCoy, M. Ed.
"I have come to a frightening conclusion. I am the decisive element in the classroom. It is my personal approach that creates the climate. It is my daily mood that makes the weather. As a teacher I possess tremendous power to make a child's life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration. I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal. In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis will be escalated or de-escalated, and a child humanized or de-humanized"

I have to apologize for the terrible pictures of this, but I was too hungry and didn't realize quite how bad they were until it was too late! Despite that, this recipe is too good not to share. I love Indian because it is so easy. Once you have all the spices it only takes a little bit to add a lot of flavor to dishes. I got the recipe from this site.
Warning: I was told by a friend that I smelled like Indian food a few hours after I made this so probably don't hang out in the kitchen while it is cooking like I did!
Mango Curry Chicken
1 lb. chicken thighs
Olive oil
Sea Salt
1 T. curry powder
1 slab butter
8 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
Mango-I used a half package of frozen mango from Trader Joe's
A large glass of white wine-I used Two Buck Chuck Chardonnay from Trader Joe's
Coat the chicken lightly with olive oil, then season with salt, pepper, and curry. Heat a little more olive oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat, then add the butter. When the butter gets foamy, add the chicken. Cook until it starts to pale, then add in garlic. Turn down to low-medium (should be gently sizzling) and cover with lid. Cook for 20 minutes, then flip over and cook 20 more.
When the chicken is done, take it out of the pan and add in the wine, mango, and parsley. I let it simmer for about 5 minutes because the mango was still a little frozen.
When done, pour over chicken and serve! I ate it with sweet potato fries, which I thought was a good combo!

What Old House Lovers Really Want for Christmas
by Candice Whitlow
Well, we are officially into the holiday season. Weather is cooler, homes are starting to be adorned with lights and garlands, and retail stores are getting busier.
My household typically does it's shopping at the last minute, but this year we're actually ahead of the game. Jake and I have been discussing ideas on what to get the other, and while he loves our old house, guitars and amps would be at the top of his list. I on the other hand have asked for some unconventional gifts through the years that are, really, gifts for our house. For example, one year I asked for some drawer pulls for my antique dining room buffet. To some, that would be the equivalent of getting socks for Christmas, but if you're like me, and you have the perfect buffet that needs the perfect drawer pulls, finding those under your tree on Christmas morning is exciting.
So, with that said, I've decided to compile a list of gifts that is sure to please the old house lover in your life.
A Great Reference Book
"The Field Guide to American Houses" is a must have if you're restoring an old house. Jake bought this for me a couple of years ago, and I absolutely love it. It's a great reference, but it's also great to flip through and learn interesting facts about the evolution of American architecture. I give it 5 stars.
I cannot tell you how many screw drivers, paint scrapers, pliers, and paint brushes we've gone through over the past few years. Some tools have worn out, others have just vanished in the chaos of construction. In fact, I'm pretty sure there's a portal in my house that holds missing Tupperware lids, mismatched socks, and hand tools.
This is a photo from the Christmas my husband bought me my own tools, AND a ring. Hey, I may enjoy working on my house, but I'm still girly.
A Camera
I know, I know, we live in a world where everyone has a camera phone, but having a good camera to document the restoration process is a must in my opinion.
My newest tool! I have recently found a love for photography, and having a good camera to document the restoration of our house is great!
A Gift Basket with Snacks and a Great Bottle of Wine
Restoration is time consuming. Anytime you can grab a quick bite while working is a huge win. What better gift for that special someone in your life who eat, sleeps and breathes restoration, than something you can actually eat. And that bottle of wine is great for taking the edge off after a busy day of restoration.
Architectural Pieces
Door knobs, window hardware, door bells, and light fixtures are all great for someone in the depths of a home restoration. Many places have local salvage yards, but if you can't find what you're looking for there, the internet has an endless supply of antique dealers. Plus there is a great website called houseofantiquehardware.com that offers a wide variety of awesome reproductions.
A 25 dollar Etsy find transformed into the perfect fixture for our son's room, which was missing the original light.
As CIRCA's resident old house restoration expert, Candi has lived her whole life in fixer-uppers. Her love for old houses stems from growing up in Doniphan MO, where there is an old house on every corner and the roots of her family tree run deep. She currently manages her father's company, BARCO Construction and Design. Candi is on the board of the Doniphan Neighborhood Assistance Program and has worked closely with the City of Doniphan Historic Preservation Commission, documenting the city's historic downtown buildings. She devotes most of her spare time to restoring her 1920s cottage-style bungalow that she shares with her husband Jake and their two dogs Rowdy and Mac.

moved for leave to introduce Bill C-295, An Act to amend the Canada Elections Act (residence of electors).
Mr. Speaker, it is an honour to be given this opportunity to introduce this particular bill.
Currently, section 11(d) of the Canada Elections Act prohibits Canadian citizens from voting in federal elections once they have resided outside of Canada for more than five years.
My bill would strike down this part of the act. It is unfair and undemocratic to take away the voting rights of 1.4 million ex-pats, simply because they are engaging in opportunities abroad.
Although this restriction may have had sound policy reasons in the past, today's age of instant information transmission makes this policy archaic. Canadians overseas still have a vested interest in the Canadian government, and how laws impact their families and communities that remain in Canada. The five-year limitation simply does not conform to the 21st century demands of globalization.
Under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, Canadian citizens who are 18 years and older have the right to vote and the right to enter, remain in, and leave Canada. Indeed, nowhere is it mentioned—

Colleagues, I need Your help!
This is my first experience with FFmpeg.
There are many video-files, which is recorded using video cam every day. The format of those files is MP4.
It is necessary to make a script (under Windows XP SP3), wich will unite all record of day in folder into a single file and then move this file to another folder. A name of this single file should be, for example, like this "2016-08-11.mp4"

Daytona Beach, FL - Police are now investigating after a man walks into Daytona Beach Police Department saying he's been stabbed.
He showed up around 7 a.m. at the Daytona Beach police Beachside precinct on Harvey Avenue and told police he had been stabbed during an argument that now has DBPD investigating.
The investigation so far shows the male victim was driving his car with a female passenger when the two came up to a truck with two people in it, another male and female.
An argument then ensued between the driver and the other male and female in the truck. Then, all parties emerged from their vehicles and the woman from the truck cut the male driver with an unknown object as the other male threatened to stab him with a knife.
It's at that point both the male and female from the truck returned to their vehicle and left the area.
The injured male was transported from the precinct to Halifax Health Medical Center with non life-threatening injuries
No arrests have been made so far.

- we don't contact or email people, we reach out to them
- we don't agree, we align with each other
and most annoyingly:
- we don't change direction, we pivot.
These things aren't just wrong, they are utterly pointless - they are (mostly) longer than the plain way of speaking and they really add nothing.
Does anyone have any idea where this rubbish came from, so I can reach out to the original perpetrator with a machine gun?
