Medinaceli has been declared a Historic-Artistic Ensemble, and it was won the regional prize for Exceptional Touristic Municipality of the province of Soria on two occasions. Its heritage is varied: from Celtiberian to Roman, then Christian and Muslim. Here you can see evidence of all these different civilisations. Wander through its narrow streets and let the town take you back in time. Though, if you're more of a planner, here's an itinerary you can take:
It is the only triple Roman arch that still stands in the Iberian Peninsula, and it dates way back to the 1st century A.D. It is 13.20 metres long, 2.10 metres wide and 8.10 metres tall. From this point there is an excellent panoramic view from which you can see the hill of Villa Vieja, the Cidiano valley of Arbujuelo and Jalón, as well as the salt mines.
The strategic situation of Medinaceli made it that all the many civilisations that passed through here wanted to stay. The primitive Celtiberian settlement went on to become Roman, then Muslim and finally Cristian. Towards the end of the Middle Ages, the kingdoms of Aragon, Castile and Navarre fought for it. The current castle in Medinaceli was built using parts of an Arabic Alcazaba. It was possibly built in the 14th century by the first Counts of Medinaceli and was used to strengthen the walled town. It is a simple ashlar and masonry fort, with a rectangular floor plan, three circular towers on the corners and a fourth quadrangular one to the east which was used as the Keep.
The walls
The base of this defensive construction blends with arched foundations, and from here it surrounds the perimeter of the platform on which Medinaceli rests. On some parts, you can see enormous typical flat ashlars that Roman builders would use in their designs.
Some parts of the defensive walls are more than a metre wide and can even reach 1.80 metres. The arch and the 2,400 metres of wall that enclosed the town, conformed the unassailable defensive structure against Roman enemies.
When under Muslim control, these defensive structures were used and rebuilt under orders of Abd-ar-Rahman III. Later, in the 12th century, when it was under Spanish control, it was rebuilt again to function as a defensive and structural construction.
The Arabic Door
Of the four walled entryways that the town had, this is the only one, along with the Roman Arch, that is still standing. The reason for its small aperture is that it was used for defensive purposes. The doors of the walls were the most vulnerable parts, and the smaller the apertures, the easier it was to defend.
The origin of this door, despite the name, is not Arabic. The foundations are Roman, and instead of a pointed arch with a Gothic-Mudejar style like the one we see today, there could have been another horseshoe or rounded arch. This door is also called Puerta del Mercado, due to the fact that it was one of the most frequented entryways for merchants that would come to sell their products.
The chapel of Beato Julián de San Agustín
The chapel of Beato Julián presents a simple construction that was erected between 1841 and 1845 under the sponsorship of the Town Hall and the people of Medinaceli. It was built in the same place where Beato Julián grew up and where there was a small chapel. Here, you can find the remains of Beato in a chest, and a silver reliquary, donated by the ducal family in 1826.
Lope de Vega was inspired by Beato Julián to write the comedy "El saber por no saber y la vida de San Julián de Alcalá de Henares", and in this city, there is a square, a street and a road with his name.
The Collegiate of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción
At the end of the 15th century, this town already had twelve parishes, mostly of a Romanesque style, around which houses began to be built when it was reconquered. The Duke requested the Vatican to unify all the parishes in one: the parochial church of Santa María. This then moved on to become the Collegiate and the rest were demolished. This building has a late Gothic style with two doors that give access to the inside. One of them is to the south, a 19th-century portico with three rounded arches, and the one facing north is rather simple. There is a risen platform on the wall where the north door opens, also called Puerta del Carmen. It is shaped with a rounded arch and has an oculus above it. Carved pilasters frame the ensemble with engraved pyramids and balls. The main façade's decoration is finished off with a double Heraldic mural arch where you can find the oculus. Behind the bars surrounding the major altar there is a beautiful falla of Santísimo Cristo de Medinaceli from the 16th century in polychromatic wood, donated by the Dukes and worshipped by the locals.
The Town Square (Plaza Mayor)
This ample closed and porticoed Castilian square, almost pentagonal in shape, is surrounded by beautiful buildings. In this space of architectonical balance, there are two buildings that stand out: the Council House – Alhóndiga, and the Ducal Palace.
Every year, on the closest Saturday to the 13th of November, one of the most ancient rituals in Spain takes place: el Toro Jubilo. It is an atavistic ritual that joins the symbols of bulls and fire.
The Council House, Alhóndiga and the Ducal Palace
The Council House is one of the most unique buildings in the town. The Council would meet on the upper floor, and on the bottom floor, there was what is known as the Alhóndiga: a storage room and exchange centre for grains and other food products. It was built in the 16th century with two arched floors on the outside, both of them having four arches: on the bottom floor the arches are rounded and placed on top of tall podium quadrangular pillars, and the ones on the upper floor are basket-handle arches on top of smooth columns.
On the main façade, you can see two doors with rounded archways flanking double enclosed archways with many windows. Along this wall, there is a narrow hallway that leads to the back end of the building where the prison was located.
The Ducal Palace (Palacio de los Duques de Medinaceli), declared Heritage of Cultural Interest since 1979, is located on the north side of the square. It is a Renaissance style building that was erected between the 16th and 17th century following the standards of symmetry, simplicity and elegance.
The façade forms around the main entrance which is placed between pilasters, and the upper balcony above which you can see the coat of arms of the Cerda family. On the bottom floor there are lintel openings and on the upper one, they are crowned with semi-circular gables. There are two towers that are erected at the angles of the façade according to the original design by Juan Gómez de Mora.
Beguinage of San Román- Synagogue
Some historians suggest that the Mosque of Medina Salim was located in this building. Others believe that it was the synagogue due to its location in the Jewish borough and that it later was the residence of wealthy nuns with flexible community rules. Finally, the Hieronymite nuns were the ones who lived here until the second half of the 20th century.
It still has the original stonework on the outside, three sloped buttresses that seem to be ready to resist attacks, and a round arched doorway with lintelled windows that seem to be scattered anarchically across the façade. There is a Renaissance style belfry that breaks with the robust feel of the building. It consists of two parts, with the bottom one having double rounded openings for various bells. To access the upper part with only one opening, one has to pass through a small cornice decorated with pyramids and balls. The decorative elements seem to grow in number as they get closer to the forged cross.
Medieval snowfield (Nevero medieval)
Located in the northern part of the town, and possibly from the Muslim period, is the snowfield that was used as a snow storage centre to use it in the summer.
Convent of Santa Isabel
In 1528, the Diocese of Sigüenza gave a license to the church of Santa Isabel to become a convent and joined it with the church of San Martín.
The Ducal House of Medinaceli had great interest in founding it due to the fact that the Duchess was a devout Catholic to Saint Francis, and offered buildings to the order to establish a monastery. Architectonically, the building is quite simple on the outside, with the main entrance located in the centre of the façade over which there is an Isabelian style moulded window. The door has a segmental arch framed by a cordon moulding as an alfiz in which there is a Franciscan lace. There are many random openings to the side, all of them lintelled except two that are located to the left of the door which are decorated with ogee arches.

Sergei Luchenko was a Third Echelon Field Runner. He was killed in Endgame by an unseen shooter as he was about to execute Ben Hansen. Sergei had been in the CIA with Ben Hansen. They were both recruited into the Third Echelon Splinter Cell progam. However Luchenko had, for all intents and purposes, flunked the program and had been forced to either become a field runner or wind up behind a desk. Luchenko was Hansen's field runner for his first mission in Russia, but was forced to betray Hansen due to a threat to his love Victoria. Luchenko was killed by an unknown sniper just as he was about to kill Hansen.

Its a Habit
Do you sometimes have the feeling that you're running into the same obstacles over and over again? Many of my conflicts have the same feel to them, like "Hey, I think I've been here before," but I can't figure out how I wound up in the same place. The situation is different, but the conflict feels the same.
I first read this poem in "The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying" by Sogyal Rinpoche. When I "Googled" it, I found fourteen pages of links. It's clearly a favorite with many people; I know it speaks volumes to me.
"Autobiography in Five Chapters"
2) I walk down the same street.
3) I walk down the same street.
4) I walk down the same street.
5) I walk down another street.
Does this feel familiar? I am ready to learn that lesson! I'm sure that I've changed. I can see that hole coming a mile away. This time it will be different. I still end up falling in. Tired, sad and angry, I drag myself up once again. What was I supposed to learn here? I thought I learned that the last time.
Some conflicts seem to take years to unravel, but if we stay tuned, and our purpose is to look with curiosity and awareness, we will find the moment when we can step around the hole.
As I write, thinking about a recent stumble of my own, I am smiling a bit. From a distance, I watch myself drop into the hole - one I know well - and it's kind of funny. And perhaps that is the way out - to laugh more often, to "love our mistakes," as my friend says. I've heard it said that eventually we will laugh at all our mistakes - the trick is to laugh sooner. When I can laugh as I climb out of the hole, I'm on my way to finding the route around it, or better yet, that alternate street.

Miracles are Your Responsibility
Miracles are your responsibility! What does that mean? Simple..
Even Though
As often happens following one of the Best Year Yet programs I do, a message emerges for Monday Morning Coach. Recently I conducted a BYY workshop and what struck me was how often participants (I include myself in this group, since each time I present it, I am also vicariously examining my own life) stop themselves from taking action because of the underlying belief that they don't have "enough," or aren't enough (smart enough, thin enough, ready enough, etc.

´God has not given me any extraordinary talent of creativity or writing like you. I have no other option but to work in a job and lead an ordinary life. ´
I met an old friend of mine in college a few months back. I was meeting her after 8 years and we were discussing our future, family and careers. So, as I was sharing with her my plans, she tried to reason with me to forget the normal pursuits of working in a job and just follow my heart and dreams. One because I could afford to take that risk with my current circumstances and second, because according to her, I was talented and creative. Which she claimed she was not.
I disagreed with her statement that she had no great talent. As kids, we were taught ´The Parable of Talents´ in our Sunday Catechism classes. If you are familiar with the story, you would know that God blessed every one with talents and it is upto us to multiply those talents in this lifetime. That is the message of the parable basically.
Doesn't everyone have a talent if we really introspect and look inside? Maybe, some did not have the chance to explore their talents as children and haven't yet discovered it? Isn't it true that talent doesn't come in one form alone? There are so many kinds of talent and some undiscovered to the world as yet.
Yes, Talent is God-given! However, I´d like to believe that we have an equanimous God who has blessed everyone with just the right amount of talent. I never knew I had the talent to write until I actually got down to it. I never knew I had the talent to dance until I actually got down to breaking into a jig. There are probably so many more talents of mine that I am probably unaware of as yet.
Imagine a guy at the gates of Pearly Heaven before St. Peter when a ray of sunshine spotlights on me and the voice of God thunders -
´Hello Skylar! So, What happened to the talent of eating 2000 lemons in less than 2 mins that I had blessed you with? You just missed being in the Guiness Book of World Records due to your ignorance. Now, what punishment should I give you for this blunder?´
Éerrr God! Make some lemonade???????????´

Alfredo Garcia rears his ugly head in HAUT BAS FRAGILE.
I started watching a not-entirely-perfect DVD of Jaques Rivette's 1995 musical-mystery HAUT BAS FRAGILE, and noticed a strange effect. At various points the action would sllloooow doooowwwnn, then abruptlyspeedupagain, as if it had fallen behind and needed to catch up. My first two theories were that (1) the film had been shot on elastic instead of celluloid or (2) Rivette had been possessed by the wandering shade of Zak Snyder.
Then I decided the disc had come from a faulty original of some kind, and while the soundtrack seemed to run at a consistent speed, the picture would periodically lose synch and then snap back into place. It's not a phenomenon I've ever observed before.
Rivette — always the innovator.
Doing my best to ignore the abrupt decelerations and accelerations of the cast, I was then surprised and delighted to find a character called Alfredo Garcia, in tribute to Peckinpah, the master of slomo. It seemed like fate was at work. Then, to my further delight and under the influence of M. Garcia, the plot dovetailed briefly into Robert Louis Stevenson's The Suicide Club. Since I've nothing better to do (apart from nod to the presence of screen goddess Anna Karina in this elegant and unusual movie), I'll quote you my favourite bit from the book ~
"You say truly that you are in the dark," remarked Mr. Malthus with more animation. "Why, my dear sir, this club is the temple of intoxication. If my enfeebled health could support the excitement more often, you may depend upon it I should be more often here. It requires all the sense of duty engendered by a long habit of ill health and careful regimen to keep me from excess in this, which is, I may say, my dissipation. I have tried them all, sir," he went on, laying his hand on Geraldine's arm, "all without exception, and I declare to you, upon my honour, there is not one of them that has not been grossly and untruthfully over-rated. People trifle with love. Now, I deny that love is a strong passion. Fear is the strong passion; it is with fear that you must trifle, if you wish to taste the intensest joys of living. Envy me — envy me, sir," he added with a chuckle. "I am a coward."

Physical Reactions When Broken Heart, Stomach Pain Acne
What women's hearts are not broken when breaking up or knowing the fact that the coveted man does not have the same feelings. Yes, a broken heart because love does not only bring the wound in the feeling alone, but also physically influential. This is the physical change that is felt during a broken heart. Whole Body Feels PainHorms and thoughts that make you feel pain all over the body. It is triggered from your mind about what makes the stress hormone then increase. After that, you can feel dizzy and sick all over the body because of increased blood flow. When a person's heart breaks become more obsessed with ex-lover or former gebetan. They usually do stalking throughout the former social media.2. Stomach Pain Your nervous system is depressed during stress due to a heartbreak that disturbs digestion. You can feel pain peru or nausea. In addition, the 'sufferer' broke his appetite will be reduced.
3. Decreased Immune System Disappointment because broken hearts can disrupt the body's immunity that affects cell damage. The virus becomes easier to enter so you quickly get sick like flu and fever.4. SkinHormone cortisol is closely related to stressors. When the hormone cortisol increases then also affects the health of the skin that produces more oil in the skin. No wonder, when the stress of breaking up many women who even become spotty and komedo.5 arise. Hair If you are deeply broken heart so the growth of hair becomes disturbed. This is called the telogen effluvium phase, where the hair stops growing or starts to fall out. Therefore, a broken heart must be overcome so as not to torture the inner and physical. The trick is to meditate by breathing deeply; take it slowly. Listen to fast-paced music and get together with lots of joking friends to have more laughs. This can help the body release endorphins, one of the happy hormones. One thing you should not do is lock yourself in the room. Self-isolation will only make things worse. Any way that can make the mind more cheerful will help heal the body, says Gary Lewandowski, Ph.D., professor of psychology at Monmouth University, New Jersey. (kik / ami)

Who remembers buying the Breaking Dawn Part 1 DVD at midnight last year and immediately rushing home to watch the special features? I know I did! I watched the hour long feature so intensely, I almost forgot it was 4 AM.
There are so many great moments from this portion of the "the birth" BTS feature. I find it fascinating how the crew made this scene come alive from the book, especially with how difficult it was meant to be. They kept it tasteful, yet still mastered the horror aspect. Watching a movie scene be directed, played out in real time, AND captured on film meant for BTS is incredible, don't you agree?
Kristen's grossed out reaction to her "legs" being splayed out is hilarious, but when she's so deep into her character while screaming and moving around, it's mind-blowing. She can't sit still because of all the energy she has from her character.
All the while, Rob's getting fed cream cheese and jelly and eating plastic arms and holding a newborn baby. lol And then who can forget his "You're gonna be alright" as Edward thinks Bella is dead? Rob nailed it!
What are YOUR favorite behind-the-scenes parts? And does this make you excited for the BTS from BDP2?

Brush, in particular mascara brush
In a brush, in particular a mascara brush, in which a plurality of bristles is secured between twisted segments of wire and extends on all sides from these twisted wire segments, it is provided for attaining a uniform distribution of tips while avoiding capillary effects at the bristles, that the bristles (4) are embodied as segments of fibers of round cross section, the diameter (D1 or D2) of which is alternatingly larger and smaller, viewed longitudinally.
Latest Georg Karl Geka-Brush GmbH Patents:
The invention relates to a brush, in particular a mascara brush, wherein a plurality of bristles is fixed in place between twisted segments of wire and extends to all sides away from these twisted segments of wire.
Such brushes, in particular mascara brushes, have been known for many years. Earlier brushes were originally equipped with natural bristles, such as goat bristles. Such bristles gave a random distribution of the tips because of their non-round cross section and tubular structure. Later, brushes having synthetic fibers having a round, solid cross section were used. The round cross section of the synthetic fibers resulted in the fibers following the helical configuration of the twisted wires which also form the distribution of the bristle tips.
Brushes made with synthetic fibers were initially welcomed for mascara brushes. However, in the course of further development, attempts were made, particularly for mascara products having a certain composition and consistency, to reproduce the random distribution of bristle tips over the jacket face of the brush that was produced earlier with natural hairs.
To this end, European Patent Application EP-A-0 250 680 provides the use of synthetic fibers with a non-round, such as an X-shaped cross section, or a tubular hollow cross section, so as to reproduce the non-round configuration of animal hairs, provided earlier by goat hairs.
For some applications, however, bristles of hollow fibers or with an X-shaped cross section are unsuitable. For example, although these fibers do pick up mascara fluid by a certain capillary action, they sometimes tend not to dispense the mascara again in satisfactory manner, depending on the viscosity of some mascara.
With this as the point of departure, it is the object of the invention to provide a brush, in particular a mascara brush, that has advantageous application properties and the most random possible distribution of bristle tips. This novel brush is produced without doing so at the cost of capillary action, should that appear undesirable. The object of the invention is achieved by producing fibers of round cross section, the diameter of which is alternatingly greater and smaller viewed in the longitudinal direction.
These novel fibers are produced by extrusion when pulled out with varying removal forces, so that correspondingly a diameter that varies periodically in accordance with the varying removal forces is created.
The use of such fibers leads to very full and voluminous brushes having a random distribution of bristle tips, which is dictated by the fact that the twisted wires randomly engage regions of larger diameter and regions of smaller diameter of the bristles. The random geometrical engagement of the wires with the bristles is reflected in a corresponding random distribution of the tips of the bristles.
A similar random distributed engagement ratio with respect to the securing of the bristles is attained when the engaging wires have a non-round cross section. For example, a random distribution of bristle ties may be provided when the wire segments are rectangular, for instance square, in cross section.
Wires with such cross sections are commercially available in the quality required for producing brushes and accordingly make economical production possible. When drawn fibers with varying diameters are used with such wires, the effect sought with such fibers is further reinforced. However, when such wires are used, a more or less random distribution of the tips can still be attained with conventional fibers having a uniform thickness longitudinally.
A further modification of the basic concept of the invention of attaining a random distribution of the interaction in force between the bristles and the wire segments comprises the use of wire segments having a textured surface. With this kind of surface texturing, any individual bristle secured between the wire segments encounters various oriented retention forces, which in turns leads to the most random possible distribution of the bristle tips.
It may also be an objective of the invention that the wire segments be provided with a relatively soft plastic coating. The defined geometric relationships obtained between uniformly round fibers on the one hand and uniformly round wire cross sections on the other, which otherwise would lead to the development of a helical configuration, are avoided with the use of a soft plastic coating on the wire. Instead, the soft plastic coating leads to a variation in appearance of the bristle tips, in the sense of a more random distribution of such tips.
The use of plastic-coated wire segments is known per se from toothbrushes, where the plastic coating is used to avoid painful electrical shocks between the wire and amalgam fillings in tooth-cleaning. Cleaning brushes, for instance for furniture, with such plastic-coated wire segments are also well known. The plastic is intended essentially to prevent damage to the furniture to be cleaned by the bare surface of the wire.
Particularly in mascara brushes, the plastic coating will not only have an influence on the distribution of bristle tips, but can also be advantageous through selecting a plastic coating which has surface properties that repel the mascara vehicle fluid. When such a plastic is selected, the mascara fluid does not sit firmly on the surface of the wires between adjacent bristles, as can often be observed in known mascara brushes, which leads to clumping which can in turn be deposited on the eyelashes.
When mascara brushes of this kind are used for water-based mascara fluids, a plastic is accordingly preferably used which either has intrinsic hydrophobic surface properties, or the surface of which is suitably treated subsequently in order to achieve such properties.
The plastic-coated wire segments can favorably be produced by applying the plastic coating to the wire by extrusion. When extrusion is used to produce the plastic coated wire, it is also possible to embody the surface of the plastic coating as textured by the use of suitable extrusion nozzles, and in this way to still further reinforce the aforementioned "random" engagement properties.
In all the above-described embodiments, it is possible, after the twisting of the wires, to cut the bristles, producing an asymmetrical brush cross section, so that depending on the desired application properties, the side having the shorter and correspondingly more rigid bristles, for instance, or the side with longer and correspondingly softer bristles, can be used.
In another embodiment, the bristles are made of two plastic components, with the inner component forming a kind of soft core and being surrounded in jacket-like fashion by a harder plastic. With this kind of configuration, the structure of natural hair is simulated, and correspondingly a comparable action to that of natural hair is attained.
Bristles also can be made as hollow fibers which are divided by a plurality of inner ribs. For instance the inner ribs may be disposed approximately in an X-shape, so that the hollow space of the hollow fibers is subdivided into four capillaries of very small cross section. This avoids an undesirable capillary action with larger cross sections.
Another embodiment provides that the bristles are embodied as S-shaped in cross section, with the curves of the S extending virtually circularly and forming the longitudinal conduits. Another embodiment provides that the fibers used are intrinsically corrugated or wavy, or that they have a zig-zag course, which can for instance be attained by treatment with a toothed wheel combination after extrusion, or that they are merely curved, which likewise leads to a random, nonuniform distribution of bristle tips.
Finally, it may also be provided that the wire segments used are embodied as lengths of wire tubing hollow on the inside, so that upon twisting thereof, securing conditions that vary from place to place are created.
The invention will now be described in detail in terms of preferred exemplary embodiments, in conjunction with the drawing. Shown are:
FIG. 1, a perspective view of a brush according to the invention, which is embodied as a mascara brush;
FIG. 2, a view of the wire segment with the inlaid bristles prior to the twisting;
FIG. 3, a schematic, perspective view of a segment of the twisted wires, with bristles of variable diameter secured between them;
FIG. 4, a section through wire segments of round external cross section and with a rough surface;
FIG. 5, a section through wire segments of rectangular cross section; and
FIG. 6, an embodiment in which wire segments of round cross section are provided with a plastic jacket.
FIG. 7, a section through a bristle made from two plastic components.
FIG. 8, a section through a bristle having a plurality of hollow conduits.
FIG. 9, a section through a bristle having a plurality of hollow conduits formed by S curves.
FIG. 10, a view of a portion of a bristle having a zig zag configuration along its longitudinal axis.
A mascara brush shown in the drawing includes two wire segments 1, 2, which are created by bending one continuous length 3 of wire. A plurality of bristles 4 is placed in a manner known per se between these wire segments 1, 2, and by twisting the wire segments it is attained that the tips 5 of the bristles 4 protrude from between the wire segments (1, 2) 360.degree. around the twisted wire segments 1, 2, as shown in FIG. 1 over the length of the wire segments. It can also be seen in FIG. 1 that the wire segments 1, 2 are fixed at the ends in a handle 6.
To attain the random distribution of the tips 5 that can be seen in FIG. 1, there are various possibilities, shown in conjunction with FIGS. 3-6, which share the basic concept that the attempt is to create varying engagement conditions of the wire segments 1, 2 from one bristle to another, so that the helical structure produced by twisting of the wire segments 1, 2 is reduced or eliminated and is no longer reflected in the distribution of the tips 5.
In the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the wire segments 1, 2 are embodied from a round wire 3. The bristles 4 are formed by segments of fibers that have different diameters as for example but not limited to D1 and D2 viewed in the longitudinal direction, although the cross-sectional configuration in each figure of the drawings is round over the entire length.
As shown on a larger and exaggerated scale in FIG. 3, bristle segments having the maximum diameter D1 on the one hand and on the other, bristle segments with the minimum diameter D2 and diameters located continuously between these, come to rest randomly between the wire segments 1, 2, so that for each bristle 4, different retention conditions are created, and correspondingly the individual bristles protrude away from the wire segments 1, 2, at variable angles with respect to the longitudinal axes of the wire segments at the retention point. The result is a wide and random distribution of the tips 5 shown in FIG. 1.
In an alternative embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the round wire segments 1', 2' have a rough surface 7, so that as a result of this as well, there are no defined angular conditions at the securing point of the bristle 4, and a wide and random distribution of tips is attained.
In the embodiment of FIG. 5, the wire 3 and correspondingly the wire segments 1", 2" have a square cross section. The tips of the bristles 4 extend radially outward depending on where the edges 8 in each individual case engage the bristle.
In the embodiment of FIG. 6, the wire segments 1'", 2'" are surrounded with a plastic jacket 9 of soft plastic, which is compressed in the engagement region at the bristles 4. When a mascara brush is used for water-based mascara products, the plastic jacket 9 or the surface of the plastic jacket 10 is adjusted such that the surface is water-repellent, thus preventing the mascara product from sticking to the surface of the wires.
FIGS. 7, 8, 9 and 10, show different embodiments of bristle or fiber 4.
FIG. 7 shows a cross section through a bristle 4 made of two plastic components, the inner core of plastic 11 being softer than the outer facing 10.
FIG. 8 shows a cross section through a bristle 4 having a plurality of hollow conduits formed by `X` shaped ribs 12.
FIG. 9 shows a cross section through a bristle 4 having a plurality of hollow conduits formed by `S` shaped rib 13.
FIG. 10 shows a bristle 4 having a zig zag configuration along its longitudinal axis.
The foregoing description of the specific embodiments will so fully reveal the general nature of the invention that others can, by applying current knowledge, readily modify and/or adapt for various applications such specific embodiments without departing from the generic concept, and, therefore, such adaptations and modifications should and are intended to be comprehended within the meaning and range of equivalents of the disclosed embodiments.

Breakdowns, blow-ups, and boners from the Warner Bros. vault
Television's last great gasp of inventiveness came when Kermit 'Mr. Blooper' Schaefer passed the boner baton to Dick Clark. Forget about balls dropping or kids dancing on the bandstand; Dick Clark's greatest contribution to American culture was the recycling of the TV's garbage into a weekly series.
The first blooper of record took place in 1931 when radio announcer Harry Von Zell introduced the President of the United States as "Hoobert Heever." It was around the same time Schaefer began his career as a professional boner collector.
Schaefer was a sham, a world class fraud who tampered with history. Many of the bloopers contained in his LPs went out over the air live and no audio recordings existed. What was there to prevent Schaefer from bringing a group of actors into the studio to recreate the moment?
Shhaefer began packaging audio collections of his "bloopers" in the 1960's which were later transformed into a theatrical feature, Pardon My Blooper (1974). The "film" has never been released on DVD. Big Screen lifer, Colonna, bumped up a VHS tape to DVD for me and a copy rests comfortably in my archive. Only the audio portion of the film is available on YouTube.
At times, Schaefer flat out lied by dramatizing incidents that never occurred. 'Uncle' Don Carney, host of a popular 1930's children's radio show, spent a good portion of his life defending himself against Schaefer's slander. In Schaefer's version 'Uncle' Don, unaware that his microphone was still hot, let slip, "We're off? Good, well, that oughta hold the little bastards!" There is no factual evidence that this incident ever took place, but that didn't stop Kermit Schaefer from cashing in.
Schafer died in 1979 and the title "Keeper of the Bloopers" went to Dick Clark. In no time, he hired Ed McMahon to co-host TV's Bloopers & Practical Jokes, a weekly digest of mistakes culled from movies and TV shows. As if flubs weren't enough -- and in the interest of boosting ratings with celebrity appearances -- Dick included a weekly practical joke segment.
It was here that I was first introduced to bits and pieces of the legendary Warner Bros. blooper reels. Made only for the eyes of those whose names were on the invite list to the studio's annual Christmas party, these reels were never intended for public consumption.
Here are some of the biggest names and brightest stars in the Hollywood firmament flubbing one line after another. You'll find goofs from Bogart in The Maltese Falcon, Bette Davis as Jezebel, Errol Flynn in The Adventures of Robin Hood, Edward G., Gary Cooper, Cagney, Carole Lombard, Claudette Colbert, and take after take of Ronald Reagan unable to put on his pants.
All 9 of the Breakdowns and Blow-Ups reels can be found here. Note to purists: they have all been restored and released in their entirety on Warner Home Video. Breakdowns of 1938 is contained on the Blu-Ray pressing of The Adventures of Robin Hood and Breakdowns of 1941 can be found on the 3 disc Maltese Falcon collection. The rest appear on Warner Gangsters, Vol. 2 and The Humphrey Bogart Signature Collection Vol. 2. The super-rare Termite Terrace editions of Breakdowns are available on the The Looney Tunes Golden Collection, Vol. 6.

|One of my favorites, grilled cheese and tomato soup!
Who doesn't love a good sandwich? I know I do! It may just be the ultimate comfort food. Who doesn't remember downing countless numbers of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, or for you New Englanders out there, fluffanutters! Or having that grilled cheese with a bowl of tomato soup after playing in the snow all morning on a snow day? I could go on! I have a lot of "favorite" sandwiches, however, of all the sandwiches in the world, the Cuban Sandwich is probably my second favorite of them all (2nd only to the grilled cheese, tomato and bacon sandwich).
Its a fairly simple sandwich, that is easy to make. However, if you want to kick up your Cuban a bit, and make it a lot more fun, and rewarding, and something to impress your company, try making it like I do. This is a collection of beer recipes that I combined to make one terrific sandwich.... a sort of beer lovers Cuban Sandwich! My advice, start making it now, because it takes at least 2 weeks to make it like this.
For those that don't know, a traditional Cuban sandwich (traditional American version anyway) is a sandwich, on a roll (normally a pinni), with pork, ham, cheese, pickles and mustard. This recipe, contains beer recipes for the pork, and mustard. Lets get started, shall we. We will make the mustard first....since that takes the longest.
Start at least 2 weeks before you want to eat your sandwich......
You will need;
1/4 cup Yellow Mustard Seed
1 cup Beer (I like to use a nice, flavorful brown ale)
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1/2 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
2 tbs Dark Brown Sugar
1tsp Sea Salt
1/2 tsp Ground Black Pepper
Canning Jar(s) (this recipe makes about 1.5 pints)
- Soak brown and yellow mustard seeds with dark beer in a large bowl set in the refrigerator for 24 hours. If the seeds soak up the beer too quickly, add more beer.
- Transfer the soaked mustard seeds to a food processor along with garlic, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper. Pulse until desired consistency is reached. I normally pull a few tablespoons worth of seeds to add back to the mustard after you have reached your desired consistency.
- Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes.
- Pack the mustard into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top.
- Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids, and screw on rings.
- Refrigerate the jars of mustard for about 2 weeks before using.
Now, lets make the pork tenderloin.
First, lets make a brine for it.
You will need....
In a large pot, add the salt, sugar, white pepper, garlic, bay leaves, sage, lemons and water. Turn heat to medium, stir occasionally until the mixture comes to a boil. Turn off heat and let sit, to infuse the flavors, and cool to room temp. Add cold beer and mix well. Make sure the brine is below 45°, as you want to keep the pork cold. Add the brine to a large container that will hold both the brine and displacement of the pork. I like using the extra large, 2 gallon zip lock bags. Add the pork tenderloin to the bag. Make sure all the air is removed from the back, ensuring the entire loin is submerged in the brine. Place in fridge overnight, up to 24 hours. The general rule of thumb is to brine 12 hours per 1 pound of pork. If you brine longer than that, you can risk having an over salty piece of pork.
While the tenderloin is soaking up the brine, you can make the rub. For that, you will need....
1 tbs smoked paprika
1 tbs sea salt
1/2 tbs chile powder (I like using Chipotle Chile powder)
1/2 tbs ground black pepper
1/4 tbs Allspice
Mix all above ingredients in a bowl.
Remove the tenderloin from the brine after desired time. Allow it to sit out until it has reached room temp. Apply a lite coat of olive oil over entire tenderloin, then add rub to tenderloin till entirely covered generously with the rub. Allow to sit for at least 10, up to 30 minutes at room temp before grilling.
To grill, place on indirect medium heat until it has almost reached the desired temp (internally about 125, 130), then place over direct heat for a few minutes either side allowing for slight charring on both sides. Remove from grill, and allow to rest for at least 10 minutes at room temp before slicing into medium/thin pieces.
Now, to assemble your sandwich...you will now need.
Your favorite type of sub roll
Previously Grilled Pork Tenderloin
Deli Sliced Ham
Provolone or Swiss Cheese
Bread and Butter (or dill) Pickles
Preheat oven to about 350 degrees
Slice your roll length wise, in half, place halves opened on a sheet pan. Butter each half. Place deli ham slices on one half of the bread, place pork slices on top of the ham. Then place desired about of cheese on
One of the best, most flavorful sandwiches you will ever eat!!!
If you make it, take some pictures, and send them my way!! I'd love to know what you think of it!
Until next time
Bottoms up my friends!
The Beer Czar

From the 12 volume DVD series THE POWER OF CHOICE
In this program, comedian/youth counselor Michael Pritchard encourages teenagers to come to grips with the question of what to do when "just say no" and "just say yes" just won't do. Students from high schools in Atlanta and Albuquerque talk openly and honestly about the choices (good and bad) they have made with alcohol and drug use. As one teenager relates, "I look back, it felt good then. Now I could cry. Once it wore off, I had to face myself again."For a description of the format of this and the other programs in this series, please click the big orange button, below, and see the series description.

text: It began as a desire to build something with a fully transparent globular cockpit, became an exercise in late night tablescrapping (building something out of whatever random bits and pieces are sitting on your table) one night when Lyn had one to bed early, and ended up as an attempt to build a Vic Viper using only technic pieces as much as possible. The end result is a little shaky, and a little basic, but it's the first original thing of any type I've put together in over a year, and I'm quietly chuffed with it. I've decided to call it the Tadpole for no apparent reason, so here be it:

One of the largest and most unique softball events in the world returns to Reno, Nevada July 10-12, 2020. And we're taking everything to an entirely new level. We're bringing in a national qualifying cornhole tournament, amping up the bracket reveal party, throwing a brand new epic Thursday night pre-party, and completely revamping our prize packages. This is all in addition to the nation's largest Homerun Derby, Team Homerun Derby, Hitting Accuracy Contest, DJs, Amp It Up Dancers, Giant Beer Pong, Pimp My Bat, Fastest Beer, Fowling, and a mess of other random contests. Oh… don't forget the softball. 155 teams. 48 hours. 14 fields. All in a city that doesn't rest. This. Is. Boneyard.
This Cornhole tournament is legit. It's a national qualifier that you'll be able to track in real time in an app. And it will be massive. The tournament will take up an entire field at Rancho San Rafael Park during Boneyard's Friday Night Bracket Reveal Party. More info here.
Speaking of Friday night, we're turning up the volume on our DJ, stage, dancing girls, and specials in 2020. Think your team has good stories from past Boneyard parties? Just wait.
In fact, we can't pack that party all into one night. We're getting Boneyard started early this year with a brand new epic Thursday night pre-party.
And that means four days of prize giveaways. We will be handing out more than $30,000 in sponsor prizes during Boneyard XIV… for MVPs, all tourneys, for striking out, for being the first teams eliminated, for, well, just because. We don't even know when we are going to give some of the stuff out. These aren't your typical softball awards. These are Boneyard branded prizes you can't win anywhere else. We are doing a complete overhaul. That includes more diverse tiered prize packages in each division.
We'll be revealing details to all of these new elements soon. But we suggest you don't wait to register. Boneyard sells out every year, and it sells out quick. Get in before you can't.
Not only does Boneyard host 155 teams from all over the country, but it is home softball's largest homerun derby, team homerun derby and softball's only hitting accuracy contest. This is not your average softball tournament. There simply isn't another tournament that has the production value or the number of prizes this has to offer. We will continuously re-invest in this event to keep it one of the biggest and most well-known softball events. Boneyard will continue to set the standard in recreational softball events.
The Boneyard Blast runs for 48 straight hours. It hosts dance contests, 3 point shootouts, best dressed, pimp my bat, giant beer pong, fowling, a massive kickoff party with a blind bracket reveal, speed contests, Coors Light sponsored limo rides, live bands, a DJ and so much more. In total Boneyard hands out more than $30,000 in sponsor prizes each year for MVPs, all tourneys, for striking out, being the first teams eliminated and randomly throughout the weekend.. heck sometimes we don't even known when we are going to hand stuff out. This year we will feature a more diverse tiered prize packages in each division.
There are 70+ coed teams and more than 80 men's teams. Teams come from all over including Northern Nevada, Northern California, Orange County, Las Vegas, Oregon, Washington, Arizona, Idaho, Utah, Alaska, Canada and Hawaii. Each year our regional reach continues to grow with teams from Texas, Florida, Tennessee, Georgia and beyond.
The event is takes place 14 fields and 3 complexes in Northern Nevada. City of Reno Sports Complex at Rancho San Rafael, Shadow Mountain and one of the nation's top recreational parks and the world's largest all field turf facility – Golden Eagle Regional Park.
Each year we realign our divisions, develop a new bracket system and revamp our rules so we can almost guarantee everyone plays until Sunday. It's a three game guarantee, but trust us when we say, it's really hard not to play more than four games.
It's simple, it's open and it is one of the largest upper tournaments in the country. There aren't any classification restrictions. This bracket gets all the benefits: more homeruns, better games times, triple elimination format and teams will play the majority of their games at Golden Eagle Regional Park (one the highest ranked parks in the country). However, if you can't hang, don't worry. Teams that start 0-2 will battle it out against each other and the winners will drop into the winner's bracket of the Silver Division. Top 4 will be rewarded with All Tourneys, MVPs and Gold Gloves and a tier 1 champions prize package, tier 2 prize package for 2nd and tier 3 for 3rd place.

I have a new trial installation of X1 and am trying to do an initial indexing of a gmail account. I am connected to gmail, apparently without issue.
The index is about 20% done, and I repeatedly get the following message from X1:
"Connection with X1 Service has been lost. A restart may fix this problem. Would you like to restart X1?" Options to Restart and Exit.
I choose to Restart, or I Exit and then restart, and the indexing resumes for a while, and then it happens again.
The computer is otherwise not being used.
Any ideas?

The two Manteca police officers who were assigned as safety officers to Manteca Unified's 15 elementary schools last year are coming back Aug. 8 thanks to district funding .
Manteca Police public information spokesman Lt. Tony Souza confirmed that Sam Gallego and Steve Harris are being assigned to the schools again. On the roster as reserve officers, they were credited with making a difference at the K-8 campuses last year when they were funded by anonymous donations.
Souza noted that the use of reserve officers in the school program actually costs less and puts a lesser burden on the district's budget compared to the price of full-time patrolman.
Gallego and Harris reportedly bonded with the children last year as they made their rounds of the different schools and interacted with the students on the playgrounds and in the classrooms as well as in the cafeterias during lunch time.
Each officer spent some 30 years on the force serving on a variety of assignments from patrol to narcotics and on SWAT teams. The duo will once again appear on the school grounds driving black and white police cars and switch the days of the week between them. One patrolman will again be on duty the first two days of the week and the other assigned to Thursdays and Fridays. They will once again switch off on the Wednesday duty.
Both officers were concerned during the summer break that the school campus duty would not again be funded. It is an assignment they recognized as being a worthwhile bonding experience with the children while at the same time offering them a measure of protection.
At the end of the last school year one school principal lauded the officers' work, saying, "I hear thank yous from parents and kids all the time – it's great, you can't under value it."
The officers were also involved in school activities such as the "Read Across America" reading program.
They routinely gave classroom presentations during the last school year with the most popular being talking about their lives behind their badges.

In every block of marble I see a statue
as plain as though it stood before me,
shaped and perfect in attitude and action.
I have only to hew away the rough walls
that imprison the lovely apparition
to reveal it to the other eyes as mine see it.
I'm imprisoned in my own block of marble
in much that is not me,
in thoughts and vices, desires and habits
to the saint God is making
of me.
It can be hard to tell the difference.
I'm attached to what is not me.
It feels like me.
The process of chiseling away what doesn't belong
is painful
and slow.
I'm tempted to say,
"Oh, that's just the way I am."
But that would be to leave myself imprisoned,
forever unfulfilled.
God sees me.
He sees the lovely apparition
in unloveliness.
He is hewing away
the rough walls
to reveal to others
what He sees.
But unlike Michelangelo's statue,
I participate in the process.
I can resist
or cooperate.
As reactions rise unbidden within me,
I'm learning to ask,
"Is that me?"
Is that thought, desire, aversion, protest
of St. Me?
Is that the glorious masterpiece
God is creating me to be?
Or is it just so familiar
that it feels like me?
Would God say,
"Oh, that's you!"
Or would He quizzically remark,
"That's not like you!"
I'm learning to let the chisel fall
when it's not me.

The Cabled Array and sections of the Endurance Array use Primary cables to distribute power from land to sea and to provide two-way communications between OOI operators and the undersea platforms and instruments. Currently up to 10 kW of power and 10 Gigabits/second bandwidth are distributed from the Shore Station to subsea terminals (Primary Nodes) located off Newport Oregon, near the Cascadia Subduction Zone, and across the Juan de Fuca tectonic plate to Axial Seamount, reaching ocean depths as great as 3,000 meters on the Juan de Fuca tectonic plate.
Primary Infrastructure
Primary Infrastructure distributes power and communication from the land-based Shore Station in Pacific City, Oregon to sub-sea terminals (Primary Nodes) at depths of up to ~3000 meters across the Juan de Fuca Plate.
The Primary Infrastructure is made up of several components, beginning with the Backhaul System and infrastructure within the Shore Station. The Backhaul System provides Internet connectivity from a CyperPOP (cyber point of presence) in Portland Oregon, to the Shore Station. The CyberPop provides some data storage, but predominantly serves as a data-video imagery routing station to distribute two-way information over the Internet in real-time.
The Shore Station houses Power Feed Equipment to convert utility power to high power (up to 200 kW) regulated and controlled power for each of the submarine cables that runs from the Shore Station into the ocean. Also included in the Shore Station is Line Termination Equipment that contains the optical drivers and receivers for the submarine cables that terminate in the Shore Station. A Cable Landing provides the transition for the submarine cables from the ocean bed through buried conduits to the Shore Station.
Connecting the Shore Station to the Primary Nodes are approximately ~900 km of Backbone Cables. Backbone Cables are fiber-optic telecommunication cables, a telecom industry standard, known for long lifetimes. One cable extends south from the Shore Station to the Slope Base and Hydrate Ridge sites, as well as the to the Endurance Array. The second backbone cable extends across the Juan de Fuca tectonic plate to the Axial Seamount study site on the Juan de Fuca Ridge.
Primary Nodes provide high power (8kW) and high bandwidth (10 GbE) two-way communications between instrument arrays and the shore station. They are also are distribution centers for extension cables that provide power and communication to sensors, instrument platforms and moorings for continuous, real-time interactive science experiments at the seafloor and throughout the water column.
There are seven Primary Nodes in the cabled network:
- PN01A at the base of the Cascadia Accretionary Margin (OR Slope Base)
- PN01B at Southern Hydrate Ridge
- PN01C on the continental slope off Newport, OR (Oregon Offshore)
- PN01D on the continental shelf off Newport, OR (Oregon Shelf)
- PN03A at the base of Axial Seamount (Axial Base)
- PN03B at the summit of Axial Seamount (ASHES Vent Field)
- PN05A at Mid-Plate, uninstrumented
Each Primary Node houses a Medium Voltage Converter that converts the 10 kVdc primary level voltage to 375 Vdc levels. Power (375 V) and communication (1 GbE) are distributed from Primary Nodes to secondary infrastructure (Low- and Medium-Power Nodes) at science work sites through extension cables connected to scientific ports on the nodes. Additionally, each Primary Node has two science ports that allow power and full bandwidth (10GbE) connections to specific devices, such as high definition cameras as well as one expansion port to send full power and bandwidth over long distances (>200 km) to other instrument locations.
Secondary Infrastructure
The Secondary Infrastructure includes all extension cables, Low-power and Medium-Power junction boxes, low voltage nodes, six water column moorings, and seafloor and mooring sensor packages. The extension cables link this infrastructure to the Primary Nodes.
Cabled Array secondary infrastructure consists of 18 Medium- and Low-Power Junction (J) Boxes and Low-Voltage Nodes that distribute power, communication, and timing to instruments. Whether an instrument is connected to a Medium- or Low-Power Junction Box depends on the power requirement of that instrument. Medium-Power J-Boxes are connected directly to Primary Nodes through extension cables and receive an input voltage at 375 Volts DC and an input data link at 1 GigE. Each junction box has eight instrument ports that provide 12 to 48 V and has 10/100BASE-T, RS232 or RS485 data links.
Low-Power Junction Boxes are connected to Low-Voltage Nodes and have an input voltage at 48 Volts DC and an input data link at 10/100BASE-T. They also has eight instrument ports that provide 12 to 48 V and has 10/100BASE-T, RS232 or RS485 data links.
Instruments providing data on water column properties are located on the seafloor and on Deep and Shallow Profiler Moorings. These instruments, coupled with those to collect data on seafloor and biological processes, total 140. Power and communications are provided to secondary infrastructure and instruments via 61 km (29 km buried) of extension cables.
Ports are configured pre-deployment and include wet- and dry-mate connectors and are maintainable by remotely operated vehicles (ROV). Expansion ports provide "daisy-chain" capabilities via extension cables, thus making the system highly expandable.

I was thinking of the artifact, not this, but 30 lessons is 5 credits and it is still a significant amount to switch in and out of an inferior class. Even if you are getting the lessons from elite you're still paying $25/month for the elite and it will get you ~5 of those changes a month.Missari said:

Are you guys still wanting Lycans to use the CLASS SWITCH verb or are we happy with how things stand currently?
- No more mutation sickness.
- Can keep certain defences when you REVERT.
- Loss of bonus skill points.
- Class aggression cooldown is longer then mutation sickness.

Judith Bertacchi, '71
Judith Bertacchi's career of working with and for children and families is almost as long as Erikson's — and it's closely entwined with the Institute, too.
It all started one Wednesday afternoon in 1968 when she was at home listening to "The Midnight Special" on the radio while ironing. "An ad came on WFMT that said something like, 'Would you like to learn about child development in a stimulating environment?'" she recalls. She immediately called the number given, had her admission interview over the phone on the spot, enrolled at Erikson, and the rest, as they say, is history.
She turned her Erikson internship at Virginia Frank Child Development Center into a full-time job after graduation. There, she expanded an intensive therapeutic nursery school program aimed at preventing developmental delays that is still flourishing today. "Through the years there I just kept developing new programs, new partnerships, and new connections. I always said, about both Erikson and Virginia Frank, I never left after a day at either place without learning something. For me that was wonderful."
One of the things she learned was the value of combining social workers' skills with child development theory. "We found we were getting children at 3, 4, and 5 with serious problems already. Then our whole notion of prevention changed; we were really getting involved in relationships to support mothers. We used an interdisciplinary approach with social work and early education staff working together as teams. I found that was a winning combination. Every time I saw [former dean] Fran Stott I lobbied her to put together a program to provide that kind of training," Bertacchi recalls. She was thrilled when the nagging paid off in the launch of a dual M.S./M.S.W. degree with Loyola in 2001.
Meanwhile, she taught both at Erikson and at the Institute for Clinical Social Work. With Stott, she led a long-running seminar for directors of early childhood programs throughout Chicago, providing a forum for discussion and informal professional development. Along the way, she was part of an effort to pull together a discussion group that drew together every organization doing research in child development. That led to the formation of the Illinois Association for Infant Mental Health around 1981; Bertacchi was the second president of the group.
In the late 1990s, Bertacchi left Virginia Frank Institute for the Ounce of Prevention Fund, where she applied her knowledge to helping families struggling in poverty. Eventually she was named vice president for direct service programs. Much of her work was with staff "to help them understand that they are critical people in the lives of the children and families; they are agents of change."
Bertacchi has provided consultation for many organizations, particularly in the area of reflective supervision. She has shared her wisdom and experience with the Ounce of Prevention's Educare Center and Bounce Learning Network, Erikson's Department of Child and Family Services integrated assessment project, the Jewish Early Childhood Education Initiative, Southwest Human Development, and more. Somehow, she found time to serve as an Erikson trustee from 1991 to 2003.
As a teacher, trainer, consultant, and collaborator, Bertacchi has enhanced the knowledge and skills of countless early childhood professionals. Many of them turned out to honor her outstanding contributions to the field when she received the 2008 Founders Award at the Alumni of Erikson Institute annual meeting Nov. 21. Marsha Hawley, '89, AEI second vice president, presented the award, as friends, colleagues and former classmates shared their stories and appreciation of her work.
Bertacchi looks back with wonder at her career. "The truth is I loved every one of my roles. For me the treat was providing people with developmental theory. It's such elegant theory. With this theory, you can understand the importance of the early years of a person's history. Then things start to make more sense." Still actively consulting after 35 years, she treasures her experiences. "Over the years, I came in touch with so many big and wonderful ideas. I met incredibly wonderful, innovative and creative, people, and that all started with Erikson."
