An athlete takes a hard blow to the head during a game. Feeling dizzy and slightly nauseous, she continues playing; not aware that she's feeling the classic symptoms of a concussion.
This is a common scenario physicians have worked to change over the last 10 to 15 years, according to Medical Group of the Carolinas Sports Medicine Institute physician, John Lucas, MD.
"Ten years ago, if you took a hit to the head and you were a little bit dazed a few seconds, you may have been told to get up and shake it off," Lucas said. "Now, we are a lot more serious on how we define and treat concussion. The medical community has really pushed to get people to understand both the immediate and potential long-term implications of head injuries."
A concussion is a type of head injury that affects the way your brain functions. Symptoms of a concussion vary but may include a headache or pressure in the head, temporary loss of consciousness, confusion, dizziness, ringing in the ears or nausea. You do not have to lose consciousness to have a concussion, which is a common misconception.
"For the most part, the treatment of concussion is and has always been rest," Lucas said. "Approximately 80 percent of concussions resolve within 7 to 10 days without any intervention. What used to be called 'getting your bell rung' is now defined as concussion. There are no 'dings' anymore. I definitely think we have broadened what we define as concussion."
For more information about concussions and how to stay safe while playing sports, please call 864-560-BONE (2663).

After five days of the most grueling competition in Dota 2, The International 7 at last came to a close at Key Arena in Seattle, with Team Liquid the last team standing.
For players and fans alike, The International is the pinnacle of Dota, and everyone's goal is to end up here either as a competitor or spectator. Of the 90 players who began the month in the running, only 15 remained at the beginning of this final day and only the five players of Team Liquid would get to hoist the Aegis of Champions and claim the spectacular $10,805,832 prize.
A year's worth of hard work and dedication for both teams all came down to a single best-of-five series in front of a sold-out Key Arena crowd. For most of the players in the booth, this was a competition to lift the Aegis of Champions for the first time. For Newbee's Zeng "Faith" Hongda, this was a chance to be the first player to hoist the Aegis twice.
The atmosphere in the arena was electric as the two teams entered the booths to begin the series. Chants of "Let's go, Liquid!" and "Newbee!" drowned out all other sound, even the commentary of Troels "syndereN" Nielsen and Toby "TobiWan" Dawson.
Liquid looked to be in rare form, taking an early series lead with two decisive wins coming out the gate. Liquid's first strategy was an intense pushing lineup with Troll Warlord and Nature's Prophet. Liquid took an early lead in the lane phase and proceeded to roll over Newbee in under half an hour to snatch Game 1. Newbee, not content to give up so easily, struck back in the second game with an early lead and the power of Xu "Moogy" Han's Anti-Mage to fall back on, but Liquid had other plans. Despite falling desperately behind in kills, Amer "Miracle-" Al-Barkawi kept Liquid in the game with his Alchemist. Around 25 minutes in, Liquid flipped the switch and went on the offensive. With no answer to Miracle-'s super-farmed Alchemist, Newbee was forced to concede the second game. Liquid showed no signs of slowing down in Game 3, while Newbee was playing like a team with broken spirits. Even with a massive section of Chinese fans behind them, Newbee couldn't stand up to Liquid's teamwork and coordination and fell in the third game and final game of the series.
For fans of Newbee, this was a sad match, as Faith did not get to lift that second Aegis. This was the conclusion of a very impressive year of Dota for Newbee, however, and it will surely be a top competitor in the next season of Dota 2. The second-place finish earned Newbee $3,929,394.
Earlier, the final day at The International began with the lower-bracket final between Team Liquid and LGD.Forever Young to decide who would face Newbee in the grand finals. In a manner befitting of the biggest Dota 2 competition of the year, the first game of the series was a tense, 58-minute contest that came down to the last seconds. Liquid nearly managed to sneak its way back into the game, but LFY broke the Liquid base to wrap up the Game 1. It would have been a disappointment if Liquid bowed out in just two games, so to please the crowd, Liquid came roaring back to even up the series 1-1. Liquid edged out LFY in the deciding final game, securing its place in the grand finals of The International 7 against Newbee. LFY secured a respectable third-place finish and a prize of $2,578,665.
Liquid's run through the lower bracket rallied not only fans of the team, but all fans of Western Dota. After dropping to the lower bracket, Liquid lost only three games on its journey all the way to the grand finals. This was the first 3-0 sweep in the grand finals of an International and a truly massive feat and display of skill for Team Liquid.

New media and old
Dr. Sanity has some interesting commentary on a post by Wretchard about the influence of the new media--blogs and other alternative news sources--on our perceptions of truth.
I recommend both articles, but I wanted to add a few comments of my own on a related subject. This mulitiplication of sources of information, without the old authority bestowed by the credentials and reputation that used to be vested (rightly or wrongly) in the MSM, is often viewed by its critics as leading to more confusion and more disinformation. How, it is asked, is a person to know what truth is, when there are so many competing and unsubstantiated sources?
It's not a bad point to make. But my answer is that we can only gain by the fact that the new media tends to be upfront about its biases. That means a person can now read from many sources on different sides of the issue, and then weigh the accounts accordingly, taking into consideration the point of view of the person writing. This is far better than pretending to have no bias when in fact there is one, a flaw of much old media, in my opinion.
Still another advantage of the proliferation of new media is the increased ease the reader has in referring back to original sources. If, for example, one reads in a particular newspaper a report of a speech or news conference given by a politician or other public figure, in the olden days it was much harder to check the original (unless the newspaper happened to publish the full text, which was rare) to see if the report was accurate. All of us were far more dependent on the press as a filter of information, and far less aware of how that filter often actually worked to distort such information, sometimes profoundly.
Now, all that stands in our way is time. It takes time and effort to be a newschecker, much more time and effort than most people have or are willing to give. There is always more to read, more to know.
So, understanding that our information is always incomplete, and that total truth can never be known, I salute the new media's ability to let us get closer and closer to the best possible approximation of the truth. It's a big improvement over what we had before.

Recent NOTD: 4th of July
My base color was two coats of Cult Nails Evil Queen (which I chose on the basis of it was still sitting in my swatching box and thus did not require me to go digging in my Helmers). I topped that with one to two coats of Icing Blue Ice (which I got in a swap with mrsrexy, the Canadian Nail Fanatic); that one's got silver and blue glitter with silver holo stars scattered in it. Like so many big glitters, the stars didn't especially want to come out of the bottle, so that's why some of my nails got two coats of glitter and some only one—I had to keep fishing until I got enough stars. Then I put topcoat on and called it done.
This was festive and fun, and I'm glad I work at a place where this sort of thing is perfectly fine, since then I got to enjoy the sparkles for another couple days after the holiday.

New Tool Center Point Calibration System
Shape Process Automation (formerly Tech-Con Automation)Updated 02/21/2014
Tech-Con Automation Incorporated's most recent technological advancement is the new Tool Center Point Calibration System (TCPCS). This latest technology has been designed for Tech-Con's robotic Waterjet Cutting Cells in collaboration with the integration of MOTOMAN robots. The new TCPCS brings substantial benefits to the market place and Tech-Con's customers. The Tool Center Point Calibration System was developed as a solution to a potentially serious issue that arises from time to time in Robotic Waterjet Cutting, where due to improper product fixturing or operator error, the water jet nozzle may contact the work piece and can become misaligned. The TCP Calibration system can be used with or without a shock sensor on the robot arm. When the cutting nozzle is misaligned, due to damage or an improperly seated shock sensor and breakaway couplings, this system can save many man hours, scrapped materials and lost production. The TCP Calibration System is a fully automated system that can be selected and run by the machine operator at any time there is concern that the nozzle may have been moved or routinely as part of normal cell operation. This technology will revolutionize product fixturing for Waterjet equipment customers by reducing waste and downtime. This is the first system available for use on MOTOMAN robots and the only one that can be used in conjunction with shock sensors.
Model: TCPCS

EDITORIAL: Connecticut Supreme Court ruling steps on 4th amendment rights
A recent state Supreme Court decision will drastically limit the protections guaranteed by the Fourth Amendment for Connecticut's residents.
In State vs. Jeremy Kelly, the Supreme Court found Hartford Police officers did not unlawfully detain a city resident when they stopped him on the street near his home while he was walking with a man the officers suspected was wanted for a probation violation.
Kelly did not stop when officers asked him to and eventually ran from police, discarding cocaine. He was found guilty of drug offenses and sentenced to serve more than three years in prison. His attorneys appealed, arguing the drug evidence should be thrown out because it was not seized lawfully.
It turned out that the man Kelly was with the night he was arrested wasn't even the one wanted for a probation violation, he just happened to be Hispanic and police said he looked like the suspect. Police said they had credible evidence to suspect the man they were looking for was armed. The state argued before the Supreme Court that officer safety required the officers to detain both the suspect and his companion.
That is not acceptable.
The Fourth Amendment protects against unreasonable searches and seizures. Police had no reason to suspect Kelly did anything wrong the night they stopped him. Seemingly, that makes the stop unreasonable. But that's not what the Supreme Court justices found. Instead, they gave almost absolute authority to police to decide when a person is a threat and must be detained.
Officers should have the right to protect themselves in the field, and need some discretion to do that, but that must be limited, and not come at the expense of unwarranted government intrusion.
In dissent, Justice Dennis Eveleigh argues that the definition of "companion" is too vague.
"If a suspect with an outstanding warrant is talking to his neighbor's family near the property line, can the police now detain the entire family as part of the encounter with the suspect? If the suspect is waiting at a bus stop with six other strangers, can they all be detained?" Eveleigh asks. "If the same suspect is observed leaving a house and stopped in the front yard, can the police now seize everyone in the house to ensure that no one will shoot them while they question the suspect? What if the suspect is detained in a neighborhood known to have a high incident of crime, can the police now seize everyone in the entire neighborhood to ensure their safety while they detain the suspect?"
Eveleigh argues there needs to be more than "guilt by association," for police to detain someone, and we agree.
We've seen from Ferguson, Missouri to East Haven what can happen when a police force is given too much unchecked authority.
While this ruling limits the constitutional rights of all of us, it will have a disproportionate impact on minorities.
Under the Fourth Amendment, police must have suspicion that someone has committed a crime to stop and detain a person. This ruling will allow Connecticut police to approach a group of people, suspecting only one of being involved in criminal activity, and detain them all.
Is that scenario more likely to play out in a suburban area to a group of white teens, or to a group of black or Hispanic teens in a city?
Police departments should make it an emphasis to train officers not to use this ruling as an excuse to detain anyone they want. Officers should not be fearful of every person they approach. They should not suspect every person of being a criminal. Instead of detaining Kelly alongside his friend, police had plenty of opportunity to send him on his way to return to his house. That would have kept the situation from escalating.
Community policing and trust has been shown to be the much more effective way of keeping the peace, as seen on the streets of Ferguson after armor-clad officers pulled away from the city.
We also urge legislators to look at this ruling to determine whether there is any action they can take to clarify the decision to ensure that all Connecticut residents have the right to walk down the street or hang out with friends without the fear of being stopped by police for no reason.

Frank Fenner Building certified greenest building in the ACT
The ACT's greenest building, which houses the ANU Energy Change Institute, has been unveiled at The Australian National University (ANU).
The Frank Fenner Building, which hosts the Fenner School of Environment and Society and the ANU Climate Change Institute, has been formally presented with a 6 Star Green Star rating certificate, for both design and construction.
It is the first building in Canberra to receive 6 Star Green Star ratings for both design and construction.
Originally opened in 2011, The Frank Fenner Building is dedicated to integrated environmental research and training. The building was designed and built to the highest environmental standards of sustainability and efficiency.
"To achieve a 6 Star certification, you really need to cover off a lot of areas of environmental performance," said Professor Steve Dovers, Director of The Fenner School of Environment and Society.
"The building is obviously very energy and water efficient. Some features include a blackwater recycling system which captures all waste water and storm water, which is then recycled, and a solar array consisting of 142 solar panels that feeds back and produces almost as much energy as the building consumes."
The building, a collaboration between ANU, the ACT Government and the Commonwealth Government and built by the Hindmarsh Group, is setting international standards.
The building houses the Joint Secretariat of the ANU Energy Change Institute and the ANU Climate Change Institute.
"The building will be used in a study of green buildings at universities around the world, to see how well they work," said Professor Dovers.
"Often, these buildings are built but are not looked at how they are used over time. We are now part of an international effort to look at how these buildings work and how they are used."
Romilly Madew, Chief Executive of the Green Building Council of Australia, said the ranking is no small achievement.
"ANU now has a 'future proofed' asset that can withstand higher energy prices and future regulatory change," She said.
"The University also has a building that will engage the next generation of leaders and thinkers in a bricks-and-mortar demonstration of true sustainability."

A new market is emerging for 'psychoactive' drinks, which claim that their naturally derived ingredients from fruit, plants and roots have a positive impact on cognitive health.
Properties from Panax Ginseng, a root naturally occurring in Asia, are said to fight idiopathic chronic fatigue, while blueberries are said to be antioxidants with anti-inflammatory effects, while also reducing depressive symptoms. Further, the polyphenol and apigenin naturally found in chamomile and the passionflower are reported to have a positive effect on symptoms of depression and anxiety.
While the claims are impressive, falling back on naturally occurring ingredients is not as easy as it sounds. Read more about this challenge here.

If you research insurance company policies and shop around, you can get a good deal on auto insurance. Insurance providers use several different criteria to choose which drivers obtain the best rates.
Try and avoid getting points on your license. Having tickets or accidents on your driving record can raise your rates on your insurance policy. If you do have a poor driving record, taking a defensive driving record can improve it and help you get lower insurance rates.
When purchasing car accessories, assess the amount that insurance covers in theft or damage. Most insurance companies do not provide coverage for these parts, but they will pay for what the value of your car is with these parts added on.
If you want to continue to have affordable car insurance, don't let your coverage lapse. Switching carriers or even policies might result in a gap in coverage. To protect themselves, the insurance companies will raise rates when they discover a lapse in coverage.
Your vehicle's make and model is the number one influencing factor on your auto insurance rates. If you have high-class taste and want an expensive luxurious car, this will affect your insurance costs. Choose something nice, safe and reliable over a flashier option to save big on insurance bills.
There are insurance plans beyond what is legally required that offer better protection. Making sure you have the right amount of coverage, even if the cost is a little more, is important in the event of an accident. For example, if you get uninsured motorist insurance, you are protected even if the other party involved is illegally driving without insurance.
When purchasing car insurance, it is important to keep in mind that they are only insuring the driver of the car that is on the policy. Sometimes, other drivers, such as friends and non-household family members, will not be covered if they crash your car. You might have to get an addition to your coverage to allow for this.
Price isn't everything when deciding on an insurance plan. It could be the bargain of the year, or it may not be adequate insurance for you at all. Research the insurance company you are considering buying your auto insurance from. The more you know about them and understand their policies, the easier it will be to work with them in the event of an emergency.
When it comes to teenagers and cars, you are going to be best off by letting them share a car that you already own as opposed to buying them their own cars when it comes to insurance rates. Instead, allow them to drive a vehicle your family already has. Adding them as a secondary driver to your current insurance plan is cheaper than giving them their own car insurance policy. Some companies offer discounts for students with qualifying grades.
Create a list of the company's discounts, look it over, and figure out which ones you can get. The difference in your bill once you apply the discounts can be staggering.
If you do your research, you can find the auto insurance that fits your needs. You really can get good rates if you shop around and inquire into carrier discounts.

The energy-biodiversity-water nexus in the coal mining environment
Extracting coal can often have significant environmental impacts including altered landscapes, lowered air quality and deterioration of water resources by extracting clean water, decanting dirty water and Acid Mine Drainage (AMD). While advances in mining techniques have reduced many negative impacts traditionally associated with coal mining, the paradox exists: industry needs clean water for its processes while the same processes adversely affect the quality and quantity of clean water. Additionally, coal-rich areas in South Africa are often located in water stressed areas or where wetlands and river courses are already over-utilised or degraded. The nexus is thus: it takes a significant amount of water to mine coal and generate energy, and it takes a significant amount of energy to supply and treat water for these operations.
As a result of this nexus, the coal mining industry needs a two-pronged approach for water management: minimise the volume of water extracted, polluted and discharged into the environment through reuse and recycling, and: manage water impacts using strong management controls through monitoring, mitigation and offsets.
SRK is working with our mining clients to improve their water management strategies, aiming to reduce demand through efficiency and technology, using lower quality and recycled water, where possible. Dirty mine water can be treated and reused in various ways by active methods (water treatment plants) and passive methods, like passive wetland systems. The treated water can be used within the mining area for beneficiation and processing plants, dust suppression, fire control and reused as potable water. The eMalahleni Water Treatment Plant is an example of a successful partnership with Anglo American Thermal Coal and BHP Energy Coal South Africa (BECSA) joining forces to treat an excess of 130 million m3 of dirty water stored underground, to the benefit of the local municipality and community by ensuring the supply of potable water.
This has set the standard for many mines in the area to investigate water treatment options, minimising the risk of decant while reducing the effect of AMD.
Passive wetland systems may provide benefit to ecosystems services by reinstating wetland functions like water purification, flood attenuation, erosion control and water storage. These functions may have been destroyed and/or are no longer functioning at their full capacity due to mining activities. Passive wetlands can thus be considered a type of offset, and offset projects should consider ecosystem services as a central concept.
The challenge is to manage and limit the impact of mining on water resources and energy needs while still providing sufficient coal to meet power demands. This goal can be achieved by integrating water policy, planning and management within the mine planning to encourage conservation, motivate innovation and ensure sustainable use of the water resource.

Margaret Hennig and Anne Jardim, co-directors of the Simmons College graduate program in management, believe women's attitudes toward work are so different from men's that it is not surprising so few have risen to the top in many fields. Women, they have found, often view a job as something to be done competently and carefully. Indeed, women not uncommonly are such perfectionists that they get bogged down in detail. Females have been (or at least used to be) shaped by society to have no broad perspective of career, whereas men go after long-range goals and set priorities.
"When a woman achieves," says Jardim, "the clear inference is that her home and family suffer. So it becomes a horrid psychological trick." But this happens only as long as the woman's feminine identity remains fundamentally rooted in marriage and home. As attitudes toward women's roles change, and especially as the young grow up with more expansive and varied expectations, that kind of crippling guilt will recede.
Men's attitudes are shifting along with women's. The Harris survey found that 59% of men advocated greater opportunities for women. In some ways, the recession brought a kind of enforced enlightenment: husbands badly needed their wives'—or daughters'—paychecks to help support the family. Many men may still ask their oafish versions of Freud's infuriating question, "What does woman want?" But a surprising number of them have—guiltily perhaps—acknowledged the seriousness of women's complaints. While some advances have come because of women's push for equality or from affirmative-action programs, others have also resulted from a dawning recognition of the justice of women's demands for equal rights.
In almost all areas—business, the professions, blue-collar work, education, politics, the family—a new sensibility among both men and women has led to more enlightenment—and a restless understanding of how far away sexual equality remains.
BUSINESS: Inroads to Management
At the top, business is almost wholly a men's club. In the 1,300 biggest U.S. companies, there are about 150 women directors v. about 20 five years ago. With rare exceptions, women have not risen as high as vice president in the big, old, basic industries, such as steel, autos, oil, railroads. Generally, women have done better in less tradition-bound fields: computers, communications and finance, though those who have climbed to vice presidencies tend to be in personnel, corporate relations and other ancillary areas.
Yet worlds hitherto closed to women are opening. Increasingly, women are seen attending business conventions, sometimes with their husbands—when the spouse is invited. More and more women are becoming junior executives and sales representatives, positions that often lead to the top; roughly 12% of Xerox's traveling sales

Disable Moving Time
Please disable so called moving time. It makes all my runs completely useless. If my trail run took 1:51 hours I don't want Strava to magically cut it down to 1:45 or 1:43. It keeps doing that on every run. I don't stop on my runs, but it still doing that, every time! It makes every stat useless and you cannot compare and so on. Please please please, disable the moving time. I may just as well be using an egg clock as it would be more accurate than Strava.

A Fire in Heaven
The proper season is when the weather is very dry; the special days are those when the moon is in the constellations of the Sieve, the Wall, the Wing or the Cross-bar; for these four are all days of rising wind. A wind that rises in the daytime lasts long, but a night breeze soon falls.
— Sun Tzu, circa 300 B.C., "Five Ways of Attacking with Fire."
Mission Control was unaccountably understaffed; three of nine people had failed to show up for work, and their backups took forty minutes to plug in and come up to speed on the mission details.
"Is there a plague?" Robert wanted to know, grumping into his headset microphone.
"Just a gorgeous July morning," the capcom officer on the ground had answered. He sounded like a kid, and nobody on the station seemed to know who he was in more than a recognize-the-name kind of way.
Anyway, this put departure ops nearly an hour behind schedule, which necessitated all sorts of rushing around. There wasn't much time for sappy handover sentiment, or for proper procedural training. In six months the station crew had settled into a very efficient routine, which they'd had little chance to run through with the new crew. Galley power off before you switch the water heaters on, etc., etc. But if they missed their landing window it would be another full day before they could get out of here, and nobody seemed willing to consider it.
"Take care of her," was pretty much Robert's sole instruction to the new commander.
Jim, for his part, told Kennet to call his cell phone if she needed anything. The phone didn't work up here, of course, but once he was on the ground — or even near it — he'd be back in that part of the world again. The Noosphere, Tielhard had called it. The buzzing atmosphere of information that surrounded the planet, thicker and thicker every year.
Amusingly, Pope Dave had a heavy-looking satellite phone that did work up here. He spent several hours yakking into it in Italian while the crew rushed and fussed around him. "I'm told this thing would work on the moon," he remarked to Jim at one point, covering the mouthpiece with his hand. "It's secure, too; heavy encryption. Pretty cool."
Hmm. Perks of the job. "The chicks must love you," Jim answered, then caught himself. He'd just zinged the Pope. A regular-guy kind of Pope, to be sure. Easy to talk to, all that. But a billion people did look to him as their spiritual leader. Would Jim talk to the President that way? To a movie star? Probably, yeah, but he ought to watch it just the same. The Swiss Guard didn't like him already, and made no particular secret about it.
Finally it was time to seal the hatch, to isolate the atmospheres, electrical systems and computer networks of the shuttle and station. Jim and Chip walked through the steps together, each making sure the other hadn't left anything out.
"Some Russians died that way," Chip noted. "Left a valve open and suffocated."
"Pretty crappy valve design," was Jim's answer to that. General Spaceplane did a much better job of idiot-proofing. Still, since idiocy was one of the universe's truly limitless resources, he trusted nothing and triple-checked everything.
"No, no, vi ho detto," the Pope was telling his guards when Jim and Chip worked their way back to the mid-deck airlock. "I'm not riding in that thing. I want to see."
"See what?" Chip asked.
"Reentry." Dave jerked a thumb at the pair of jacks behind him. "These guys expect me to sit in the escape pod the whole time. There isn't even a monitor screen. I spent the whole launch sequence in there, and never saw a thing until we were already in orbit."
Hmm. Jim had seen that escape pod — was in fact about to check its circuit breakers and air vents — and he wouldn't want to ride in it, either. It was a two-seater only slightly bigger than a Mercury capsule, or a really compact sportscar. Still…
"Reentry's the most dangerous part of our flight profile, Dave, and this is clearly the safest spot on the ship. It would look pretty bad for the 'Service if anything happened."
The Pope considered that unhappily. Here was his one and probably only trip into space, and he couldn't look out the window? "I'm here as your guest," he allowed. "Naturally I'll follow whatever course you recommend."
Hmm. Yeah. "We can tie the door open with a bungie cord," Jim suggested. "From here if you… if you lean forward and crane your neck you should be able to see the mid-deck monitors. That's all we have to look at, me and Tomo and Chip. This isn't a tourist ship. Your guards can ride up in the cockpit, where the actual windows are."
"Nein," said one of the jacks in a thick European accent. "One in the cockpit. One in the pod with His Holiness. I insist on it."
That was no skin off Jim's nose either way, so he ran the arrangement by Robert and Lisa, who approved it without complaint. So, five minutes later when the systems were duly isolated and cross-checked, he strapped himself into the seat immediately forward of the pod, with Chip on his right and Tomohiro on his left. "Ready?" he called back to Dave and the guard.
"Whenever you are," the Pope confirmed. Boy, he did look cramped back there.
"Mid-deck ready," he said into his headset, pressing the push-to-talk.
"Aaah, roger that," answered Lisa, then rattled off a string of numbers for the benefit of Robert or Mission Control or somebody.
And then, with surprisingly little fanfare, they detached from the station, drifted away for a minute and a half, then fired a series of bursts on the attitude control motors, to turn the shuttle ass-backward in its orbit. They were behind schedule, so a whole series of checks and rechecks were skipped, while the pilots went straight into the deorbit routine.
"Point-three gee burn, eleven minutes nine seconds duration," Lisa said, presumably reading the figures off one of her displays up there. "Ignition in three minutes forty-one seconds."
"These are going to be a long three minutes," Dave noted, not over the headset but just calling forward.
But they weren't, really. Much longer was the deorbit burn itself, with the unfamiliar tug of gravity — or acceleration, anyway — on their bodies, on their chests and faces. They were all on the best gravity drugs and had kept to the exercise regimen so their bones and muscles didn't wither. Even so, after six long months of zero-gee, the pull of anything on your body felt more than a wee bit suffocating. Jim felt it most in his throat — a squeezing sensation, a feeling that his windpipe was no longer round, but some sort of oval. At point-three gee! They'd be pulling five times that much in a few minutes, when the shuttle turned around to face, nose first, a wall of gluey atmosphere at bone-searing temperature and speed.
The burn wasn't loud — just a hum and roar, like the sound inside a moving car — but nobody much tried to talk over it. When it was finally over, though, Jim turned and looked back into the pod.
"You okay back there?"
"Perfectly, thanks."
And as it happened, these were the last clear words ever spoken aboard that ship.
Death comes upon us in strange ways, shockingly sudden and disarmingly weird. Even months in a sickbed can't really prepare us for what's to come; the event arrives on its own time and terms, and everyone is caught off guard. Living one moment, struggling the next, and finally just gone.
There was no contrail. There was no explosion. Initially at least, there was no debris. Whatever you might have heard, it wasn't a missile. But there was a sudden streak of ionized air molecules, here in the wispy tendrils of the upper upper atmosphere. As near as Space Command was able to figure it, the shuttle Oberon was struck by an antisatellite energy weapon — most likely a hydrogen-fluoride laser based somewhere in central Asia. The Free Will Index was very high in that region; the choice to fire was made deliberately.
Shall we imagine human malice reaching out through a window of favorable weather? Shall we speculate on an agenda furthered, a To Do box checked off, a connection to the disappearances of NWS staffers in Omaha? Perhaps God or some other force could have intervened, or (troublingly) perhaps it did, in planting the seeds of these events. But the telemetry is clear enough: the beam passed completely through the fuselage in a tenth of a microsecond, unimpeded, leaving two fist-sized holes.
Jim's own perception was more muddled; one moment everything was fine, and in the next there came an orange flash and a loud noise, like the popping of air-filled bags. Bang! Bang! And there was a fierce wind, and sharp bits of something flying all over the place, and everyone was screaming.
The strangest property of accidents is the way we perceive them: not as movies but as comic books. "It happened so fast. It happened so slow." People say both of these things, and mean them, because the event breaks up into a series of discrete, vivid snapshots.
Flash: Jim was somehow out of his seat, and looking aft at the escape pod, and the Swiss Guard was there with a panicky look on his face, trying to pull the hatch closed and punch the fuck out of there. But the hatch was bungied open.
Flash: Something lurched, hard, and suddenly Jim was back there on the pod, falling against the door in some kind of weak gravity. He was trying to draw a breath from the roaring air; he was hot and cold and hotter still. Flash: the guard, in his space-jack flightsuit, was rolling up out of his chair and grabbing at the bungie cord, realizing the hatch wouldn't close until he somehow untied the thing.
"You're panicking," Jim wanted to tell him. "Just slow down and watch what you're doing."
But the words wouldn't come, and the part of Jim's brain that composed them was at the back of his skull, somehow — a passenger watching quietly while Jim himself panicked and thrashed. He wanted to help with the bungie cord, but that desire didn't seem to connect in any way with the actions of his body.
Flash. Finally, somehow, the bungie cord was floating free, and the Swiss Guard was bouncing away on a trail of jiggly blood spheres, and a hand was reaching out and hauling Jim into the pod. But whatever was happening here, Jim hadn't wrapped his head around it yet. He resisted, then actively fought. Get off me, let go, a part of him thought.
And then there was fire, and the ship was breaking up around him, and that clear, quiet part of his mind was noting, with absolute calm: could use a damned miracle right about now.
Said a voice from the ground, "Track loss, track loss. The radar filter has multiple targets. Oh my God. Does anyone have lock?"
But no one did.
"Seal the mission control doors," said the flight director. "Call security. Get me a next-of-kin list. Nobody talk to the press."
But everyone did.
A sad story? A martyrdom in the grand tradition? This is what happens, sometimes, to those who can't leave well enough alone. As it turned out, though, the escape pod fell away with two bodies sealed and rattling loose inside. Parachutes? Barely. No radar saw it come down. But the conspiracy theorists will tell you: the Pope and the Weatherman survived their fall and are still out there somewhere, arguing about God and Heisenberg while they make their slow way home. And truth be told, in a world of provable miracles, stranger things have been known to happen.
But really, who's to know? Where such miracles hide in the shadows of quantum mechanics, they must work — by definition — in subtle and mysterious ways. And that's a good thing, right?

What is Chamber Music?
With the RSO's chamber concert coming up on Saturday, you may be asking yourself what chamber music is and how it is different from other orchestral music. Here are the key characteristics of chamber music to help you understand what's happening on stage.
—A type of musical performance which peaked in popularity during the high classical period
—It utilizes a limited number of instruments and performers such that the ensemble can perform within a "chamber" of a palace, or a large room
—There is usually only one performer for each instrument part (as opposed to a full orchestra where and entire section of a particular instrument will share a part
—There are usually no featured soloists; performers are equal parts to the musical "conversation" passing the motif to one another
—One of the most popular forms is the string quartet utilizing two violin parts, a viola, and cello
—Some notable chamber music composers include Hayden, Mozart, Beethoven, and Schubert
Learn more about the chamber concert "Early Classical Gems" on Saturday, February 4, 2017.

Wait until you see this! And once you play with it.... way too cool!
Here is what I made with mine last week. It was inspired by my friend Kay Kalthoff!
I used two pieces of Coordinations paper - Blushing Bride and Primrose Petals for the rose. Just roll them up together; it's not much harder than one layer is.
I didn't have any chocolate candy bars to add inside the holder so I filled a little clear bag with chocolate covered blueberries. To make the pouch, cut a piece of Black card stock at 2" X 6 1/2" and score it at 3" from each end. Then insert each end into your Scallop Tag Topper punch. Fold and tie with a ribbon. The leaf is cut using the Secret Garden framelit and Gumball Green card stock.
I used a hot glue gun to adhere the rose to the pouch making sure the bottom of the rose was at the same level as the base of the candy pouch so it would help support it when upright.

Focus Finland: Nurmi, timeless, minimal, nordic
"The Nurmi designs are distinguishably Scandinavian: this is not a conscious decision but definitely the surroundings have had an influence in this. Finland is full of contrasts. Freezing cold, snowy winter and hot summer days. Dark winter and nightless summer nights. Quiet countryside and lively cities. Finland is still a bit like a little brother between Sweden and Russia, but being so small and kind of an underdog has given us a lot of strength and persistence!" -Anniina Nurmi
After graduating in 2008 from The Lahti Institute of Design, "one of the best design schools in Finland", Anniina Nurmi started Nurmi Design Oy, a company that specializes in sustainable clothing and offers lectures, design, and consultancy services. It also houses the clothing label, Nurmi which makes high quality, long lasting, mens and womens wear that is sustainably produced.
Since there aren't nearly as many stylish sustainable options for men, as there are for women, Nurmi felt doing menswear was a good fit with their design aesthetic of being "timeless, minimal, nordic". The collection is still small but growing and offers "classics but always with a little twist". Designing for men can be a bit more of a challenge, restricting in some ways but Anniina is always looking for ways to make things interesting. In staying true to the brand, both the mens and womenswear collections are "well-designed, long-lasting garments which are quite graphic and minimalistic".
The Nurmi Jeans come in but 2 styles, one for men the other for women. Strong, durable and built to last, these jeans are not just ethically produced- cut, sewn and finished- in Keitele, Finland, the environmental aspect is highly factored as well. Made from an organic cotton and hemp blend, the fit is slim, detailing minimal, quality impeccable- all for only 169,00€.

Last week the weather was scorching hot, so I decided it was the perfect time to make the Strawberry Basil Lemonade. I have a little indoor herb garden and my Basil plant is growing out of control, so it worked out nicely to have a new way to use my basil.
The recipe calls for:
1 bottle of Jacob's Creek Moscato
6 oz. of fresh lemon juice
1 pint of fresh strawberries
3 sprigs of basil
and 1 lemon sliced
The first step is to blend the lemon, strawberries, and basil, then strain into a pitcher. Next, add the bottle of Jacob's Creek Moscato to the pitcher. Finally, as a garnish I used basil, sliced strawberries, and lemon slices. And that's it. My little sister was coming over to have a girls day and picnic, so I also made a non-alcoholic version of the strawberry lemonade. I basically followed the same recipe, but instead of the bottle of Jacob's Creek Moscato, I added a bottle of San Pellegrino Sparking Mineral Water. I found a sparkling lemonade recipe on Pinterest that sounded really great that I also want to try! The only major difference is mint instead of basil.
I also have a blog post coming with a couple photos from my girls day picnic with my little sister!

This is not your traditional ceviche, it's updated with a delicious fruity flavor and it's irresistible!
Throwing tradition to the wind with this one….
I'm a seafood lover through and through and have made ceviche many times,
I often don't use raw fish and seafood, because I like to be sure it's safe to eat so I often steam/cook it first before putting it into the lime juice.
This however I was a little different, I cooked the shrimp in Moscato Wine and the flavor was delicious, not building on the classic with lime and avocado I added red onion, jalapeño and no Mexican dish would be complete without cilantro now would it?!
The kicker here is the raspberries, they added this super delicious flavor and with their pretty color….this was an eye catcher.
The Moscato wine has a fruity flavor and adding in fruit to this dish really made it over the top delicious.
I recently posted Moscato Margaritas HERE. Take a look how to through together some quick drinks and appetizers, perfect for weekend entertaining.
So grab a few items and get "Cookin" everyone will love you for it and you don't have to spend a ton of time in the kitchen, really!
- 1 lb shrimp (extra large)
- 5 oz fresh raspberries
- ½ cup Moscato wine (I used Gallo Pink Moscato)
- 1 jalapeño diced
- 1 avocado diced
- 2 tablespoon red onion diced
- 2 tablespoons cilantro finely chopped
- 1 lime juiced
- ½ teaspoon salt (I use coarse kosher salt)
- Shrimp: you can use cooked shrimp or uncooked (the cooking time in the wine will just be reduced if you use pre cooked shrimp)
- Cook shrimp in wine (if it's precooked you are just heating it on low so the shrimp absorbs some flavor, if it's raw shrimp it will just take a few minutes cook the shrimp until it's fully cooked)
- Cut shrimp into ½ inch pieces, mix the shrimp with the avocado, jalapeño, red inion, cilantro lime and salt.
- Lastly stir in the raspberries reserving some to place on top.
- Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Making this an hour ahead of serving time will help the flavors meld together nicely.
This is how easy entertaining!

Excited! Back in school!
Well, sort of. I just started taking an online business course that will ultimately help
my web site
, and I have a million ideas running through my head (not good half an hour before bed time!) I already have two product launches for the beginning of the year, but there will be a lot of behind-the-scenes invisible work that will be done to really optimize the business. PSYCHED!
I got to visit my friend Lyn today -- she had her baby boy yesterday! He is adorable, I got to hold him, and I'm just in awe that Zack was EVER that small. Wow. Little miracles, they are.

I have been experiencing problems sending attachments to others who are using Windows OS computers. This seems to affect image files, but in actuality can affect any file which Nisus Email cannot identify as a ASCII text file.
What happens is that files are being sent as as a two part message, with the first part being of MIME type "application/applefile" and the second part being tagged MIME type "application/octet stream". (This second section holds the actual data.)
So a Windows user expects the image to open automatically in their email program and it doesn't, and apparently they have difficulty saving the attachment to their hard drive.
How do I instruct Nisus Email to not put the "applefile" wrapper around these non-text files?

The Cephalopoda of the Hawaiian Islands
Feb 12, 2013
A little something for Darwin Day, and a collection of illustrations I hadn't seen before. The Cephalopoda of the Hawaiian Islands (1914) is another title in the splendid (and huge) collection of the Biodiversity Heritage Library whose Flickr sets have been linked here before. Some of those prior examples have ended up being collaged into […]

Seducing an Angel, by Mary Balogh
>> Monday, November 07, 2011
TITLE: Seducing an Angel
AUTHOR: Mary Balogh
PUBLISHER: Delacorte
SETTING: Early 19th century England
TYPE: Romance
SERIES: #4 in the Huxtables series
Meet the Huxtables—three headstrong sisters and their dashing brother—each searching for love that's always a shocking indiscretion away. . . . In her magnificent new novel, New York Times bestselling author Mary Balogh sweeps us into a world of scandal and intrigue—glittering Regency England—and introduces the youngest Huxtable: Stephen, the only son. Here Stephen will risk his reputation and his heart as he enters a scandalous liaison with the infamous beauty intent on seduction. But when passion turns the tables on them both, who can say who has seduced whom?It's a double standard of mine, I suppose, but while I don't particularly care for the rakish hero / innocent virgin combination, I love bad, jaded heroine / sweet, decent hero pairings. Seducing an Angel certainly had one. Cassandra, Lady Paget is no mere "fast" woman, she's actually rumoured to be an axe murderer. Yep, I've certainly never seen that before in a historical romance!
He must be wealthy, wellborn, and want her more than he wants any other woman. Those are the conditions that must be met by the man Cassandra Belmont chooses for her lover. Marriage is out of the question for the destitute widow who stands accused of murdering her husband and must now barter her beauty in order to survive. With seduction in mind, she sets her sights on Stephen Huxtable, the irresistibly attractive Earl of Merton and London's most eligible bachelor. But Stephen's first intriguing glimpse of the mysterious, alluring Lady Paget convinces him that he has found the ideal woman to share his bed. There is only one caveat. This relationship fueled by mutual pleasure must be on his terms.
As the two warily circle each other in a sensual dance of attack and retreat, a single night of passion alters all the rules. Cassandra, whose reputation is already in tatters, is now in danger of losing the one thing she vowed never to give. And Stephen, who wants Cassandra more than he has ever wanted any woman, won't rest until she has surrendered everything—not as his mistress—but as his lover and wife...
Cassandra was left in an untenable situation when her husband died. She's got very little money left, no family that can support her and a household she feels responsible for. The only asset she has left is her own beautiful self. She refuses to even consider marrying again, after the disaster that was her first marriage (not that the offers are thick on the ground, anyway, with all the rumours flying about accusing her of having killed her husband), so the only option left is to find a rich lover. She wants someone who'll be easy prey, and the Earl of Merton seems like the perfect candidate.
Stephen Huxtable, the Earl of Merton, is certainly young, inexperienced and angelic looking, but he's no easy prey. While he's attracted to Cassandra from the moment they meet, and there's no reason to say no to her offer to be his mistress, he refuses to just fall into the stereotypical role of the rich man who uses his mistress only for impersonal sex. Stephen is intrigued by her and wants a much more intimate connection than she's offering.
Anyone who says beta heroes are boring and wimpy should read this book. Stephen is the ultimate beta hero. He's good and honourable and wonderfully nice. He treats Cassandra with respect and wants to help her. But he's also no pushover. When he thinks something is not right, he doesn't let anyone, not even this woman he's come to love, push him into it. And when he wants something, such as Cassandra in his life, he will get it.
It was a conflict I really enjoyed, especially in the first half. There's Cassandra, determined that her relationship with Stephen will be limited to sex, and Stephen determined that it will be much more. I'm sure some readers will find Cassandra unlikeable and prickly. Well, she sometimes is all that. She's not automatically happy and grateful when a wonderful man falls in love with her and wants to get married. And yet, I liked her all the more for that, because she certainly had reasons to be as she was.
The first half was an A, and I couldn't stop reading, but things became a bit predictable in the second half (if Balogh has any faults, is that she does like her "I'm not good enough for him" plots), and ended with a way too drawn-out ending. Still, this is one to enjoy.

I'm more about cinema, theatre and live music venues than I am about clubbing, so expect a fair bit to accrue here on the first three in this chapter and just a little on the clubs. Have a good night!
For Bratislava and Košice, we've also compiled this list of the classic places to go for a night out:
Slovak Philharmonic (Slovenská filharmónia): In this beautifully renovated baroque building, you can catch some great classical music concerts several times weekly. MAP
Slovak National Theatre (Slovenské národné divadlo or SND): The highly impressive SND has two venues in Bratislava: one (the original building) on Hviezdoslavovo Námestie in a grand 1880's colonnaded building and the other (the new building, opened in 2007) east of the centre at the Eurovea shopping centre, overlooking the Danube. MAP MAP
Hlava 22: This is Bratislava's best bet for catching live jazz outside of October's jazz festival. The website is only in Slovak. MAP
Nu Spirit Bar: Time-tested bastion of experimental, electronic, hip hop and groove music in Bratislava, in a cosy cellar bar. Now the site has an English-language blog so anyone can follow what's on. Things get going around 9 or 10pm. MAP
Kosice State Theatre (Štátne divadlo Košice): A grand turn-of-the-century building on Hlavná (the main city square) with a well-regarded programme of dance, music and drama. MAP
Jazz Club: Not just jazz (although that happens regularly) but also regular DJs and even tango. Yes. MAP

The great and increasing demand for irregular forms to be made from sheet metal has made Triangulation an important factor in Sheet Metal Pattern Development. This has induced the writer to lay before the sheet metal worker, a work designed for the purpose of enabling him to acquire a thorough understanding of this branch of Pattern Cutting.
Triangulation has in many instances been a subject of more or less mystery. However, from a study of Geometrical works, we conclude that its secrets have long been known.
This work is submitted with every confidence that if attention is devoted to the subject matter enclosed, one will be enabled to more clearly understand the principles involved in Triangulation as Applied to Sheet Metal Pattern Development.
Originally published in 1920, this book is a comprehensive treatise for cutters, draftsmen, foremen and students, progressing from the simplest phases of the subject to the most complex problems employed in the development of sheet metal patterns, with practical solutions of numerous problems of frequent occurrence in sheet metal shops. It is illustrated by means of 124 engravings in line and half-tone, including many reproductions of photographs of sheet metal models, made expressly for this work.

These are interesting times at The Oval. Surrey's chairman, David Stewart, has made it explicitly clear that the county are looking to start playing in major overseas competitions outside the English season.
"Our players are now under 12-month contracts and to get real value out of that we want Surrey players playing in the off season in big tournaments," Stewart said. "If we could combine with some of the bigger clubs around the world to create tournaments that Surrey teams could play in, in South Africa or India, that would interest us a lot. That is the sort of thing we are exploring."
The move is part of a strategy to start making Surrey secure against what their chief executive, Paul Sheldon, feels will be tough times ahead. "It is certainly not our intention to sell our souls to an IPL franchise, but it is our intention to keep pace and to be at the top table when the crunch comes. And I think we all feel that the crunch will come."
If Surrey are to thrive off the field, then they need to start performing on it. And that is where Chris Adams and his wet-behind-the-ears captain, Rory Hamilton-Brown, must deliver. This was Hamilton-Brown's 20th day of County Championship cricket, and his first as a captain. "There may be a moment," he had said before the match, "when Chris Rogers is on 300 and I won't really know what to do." It was an unfortunate prophecy. Rogers did not make quite that many yesterday, but he got the first hundred of the championship season.
Never mind 300, Surrey had run out of ideas about how to get him out by the time he had reached 35. He did that in double-quick time, getting the better of an absorbing morning's duel with Andre Nel, who rather flagged after having a pair of raucous lbw appeals refused. Chris Tremlett was being rested in an effort to "manage his workload". Surrey's flag was flying at half-mast in memory of Alec Bedser; goodness knows what he would have made of Tremlett's omission.
In Tremlett's place was Tim Linley, bowling with all the enthusiasm of a man starting his first full season as a Surrey player. He soon had Wayne Madsen caught behind. Linley, his run-up often accompanied by loud shouts of "Go on the Viscount!" from Surrey's resident loudmouth, bowled his first seven overs for only 11 runs.
Rogers would not be checked for long. He raised his fifty just after lunch and his hundred shortly before tea. In between a sniff of a catch at short leg was as close as Surrey came to dismissing him.
Gareth Batty and Usman Afzaal worked their way through the middle order, taking two wickets apiece. Only Greg Smith offered Rogers much by the way of company in the middle. He made 66 before slapping a sloppy shot to mid-off.
All the while Rogers batted serenely on in the late afternoon sun, closing in on a double century. The warm weather meant he had rather more than the proverbial three men and a dog watching him, more like 1,000, and a fox, who crept out of cover and lay down at long-on to watch Rogers raise his 150.
