Had a fabulous evening at Red Rooster, Shoreditch celebrating my daughter's 18th birthday. Food was delicious and would highly recommend the corn bread and yard bird. The staff were so friendly and attentive. The live music was the icing on the cake, we all jumped up to dance, including my 80 year old parents. A great evening, enjoyed by all of us.

Red Rooster was a bit out of the way and complicated to get to, but we made it. It was loud and dark. They put us at the quietest table possible, and though it was still noisy, we could then hear each other talk. So that was okay. The cocktails which came with our Book-a-Table menu were too sweet. We weren't warned about the sweetness. First courses, squash soup and burrata salad were good. For mains,my husband got a hamburger that was actually pink in the middle. Usually restaurants serve them well done, even when they promise they'll be rare or medium. Hamburger was delicious. My fried chicken was very good, though there was something too spicy in the dish, which I couldn't identify. Big, big, big problem was the lack of light. We couldn't see our food very well. My husband, who thought the food was great, said he'd never go back, since he couldn't see his food. Sorry.

Atmosphere was excellent, extremely friendly staff, food was served very quickly, starters was great & tasty, main course was a bit bland considering it's soul food, dessert was good but nothing special. Had live entertainment which was amazing, added to the atmosphere as was a R&B band, totally amazing. Waitress was very on point & took care of our every need. Overall great nite out with my wife for her birthday but slightly disappointed about the food. Would go back though but mainly for the ambiance

Test-Weary Schools Balk at NAEP
Faced with a backlash from educators who say students spend too much time taking tests, seven states have failed to live up to their promises to take part in the federal assessment program this year, and six others may also have to drop out.
Although the National Center for Education Statistics announced last year that 48 states planned to participate in the National Assessment of Educational Progress in 2000, officials in at least seven of those states haven't been able to recruit enough schools to give the 45-minute exams in science and math.
Despite earlier commitments, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Washington have dropped out of NAEP's state-by-state testing program because of lack of interest from local schools. In addition, the participation of Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Oregon, and Wisconsin is considered "at risk" because the number of schools planning to give the tests is small enough to endanger their samples if a few schools renege on their commitments.
The tepid response to this year's NAEP comes despite concerted efforts on the part of federal officials to encourage states to sign up.
"We're having a tough time," said Peggy G. Carr, the associate commissioner of assessment for the NCES. "We have done a lot more to assist the states in recruiting [participants]. Even though we've done that, it's gotten very, very difficult."
The National Assessment Governing Board, which sets NAEP policy, agreed last year to double the window of time available to administer the federally sponsored test to allow more flexibility for states that were struggling to get local schools' cooperation. ("Board Offers States More Opportunity To Give NAEP," Dec. 1, 1999.)
Only two states, Alaska and South Dakota, never agreed to seek participants for this year's exams.
This year, NAEP will measure the mathematical skills and science knowledge of 4th graders and 8th graders. NAEP will also test 4th graders' reading skills, but it won't collect state-by-state results. Testing began Jan. 31 and will continue until Feb. 25.
Ms. Carr and others say NAEP's problems are ironic. When the federal program started collecting state-by-state results in 1990s, it was the first major testing program to set achievement levels and measure students against them. Now, 49 states have set academic standards, and all but Iowa and Nebraska have testing programs designed to measure student success in meeting them.
"In a curious way, NAEP has become a victim of its own success," said William J. Moloney, Colorado's commissioner of education and a former member of the assessment governing board.
States often have little recourse if a district refuses to take part in the federal program, which is voluntary. Local officials typically back out in an effort to reduce the time students are taking tests, or to avoid scheduling conflicts.
Because NAEP collects separate samples for national and state-by-state results, the national snapshot of student performance will not be affected by states' inability to provide an statistically accurate sample of their own populations. Federal officials created a nationally representative sample of the nation's students in a process separate from the state-based testing program.
Tests Take Time
For state-by-state results, a NAEP contractor selects schools in every participating state that mirror its demographic makeup. Under the governing board's rules, 70 percent of the 200 to 250 schools selected for each state must agree to give the assessment. A school must send a staff person for a day of training; that person also must spend about two days managing the testing. About 30 students leave their classrooms for an average of an hour and a half of testing, according to the center for education statistics, an arm of the U.S. Department of Education.
The schools receive no compensation for their work.
To ensure accuracy, the governing board requires that the tests be taken at about the same time of the year.
In six states, officials recruited a few more than the minimum of schools needed. But if some of the schools drop out, the state's scores would be invalidated, according to briefing documents the statistics center prepared for the governing board.
If NAEP ends up with 41 state participants, it will be disappointing for assessment officials, but still about an average number for recent years. In 1998, 37 states took the reading exam, and 42 took the writing test. In 1996, 45 states took the math and science tests.
Conflict in Florida
In Florida, schools declined to give this year's NAEP tests because the assessment period falls exactly when the state is giving the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test, according to JoAnn Carrin, the deputy communications director for the state education department.
This month and next, Florida 8th graders will sit for almost eight hours of state testing, and 4th graders will be undergo almost seven hours.
"It just was not feasible to do both at the same time," Ms. Carrin said. Some Florida schools will be taking the math and science tests for the national sample this year, she added.
Florida's situation is common, Ms. Carr of the NCES said. Sixteen states give their own tests between January and March. Four states are taking advantage of the extra time offered to give NAEP tests because their own testing programs coincided with the federal timetable, Ms. Carr said.
In Colorado, the state's largest school district decided to skip NAEP this year because educators are already complaining about the amount of time given to the state testing program.
"The plate is overflowing," said C. Rodney Killian, the assessment director for the 89,000-student Jefferson County district in the Denver suburbs.
In such a situation, NAEP is the first thing to be dropped, state and local officials say. Not only is it voluntary, it also doesn't deliver student, school, or even districtwide scores.
"It's just not on their radar screen," Mr. Moloney, Colorado's education commissioner, said of local educators. "To local people, there is not a connection because nothing comes back to the district."
This year, the NCES made a particular effort to recruit states, with the goal of getting all of them into the state program. When federal officials celebrated commitments from 48 states, they didn't expect the complications that have driven down interest.
"I would be more concerned if we were having states that weren't participating for reasons that weren't legitimate," said Mark D. Musick, the chairman of the NAEP governing board and the president of the Southern Regional Education Board.
Mr. Musick said that because the states started withdrawing late in the process, the governing board could do little other than to expand the period for testing. The board will discuss possible solutions—such as changing the dates when NAEP gives its test—at its meeting next month in Hawaii.
"You can't necessarily deal with it when it bites you the first time," Mr. Musick said. "Given one or two years, we'll be able to respond to them."

A long-term Finnish study published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism has reported that vitamin D deficiency in childhood may be linked to hardening of the arteries later in life. In 1980 the researchers enrolled 2,148 children aged 3 to 18 who underwent periodic physical exams measuring serum vitamin D levels and other cardiovascular markers until they were 45 years old. During this time, doctors used ultrasound to examine their arteries (including the carotid artery in the neck) for thickening as a marker of increased cardiovascular risk. After adjusting for age, sex and other cardiovascular risk factors, the results showed children in the lowest one-quarter for vitamin D levels were nearly twice as likely to have thickening of the carotid artery as those in the other three quarters. This evidence suggests Vitamin D is important for good artery health. What are your typical sources of Vitamin D? How often do you recommend your patients to get their Vitamin D levels checked?

Beer Me: Monticello Lions' Brewfest Raises Funds and Glasses
Micro-breweries are popping up all over the country and fans of these small batch brews are exploding in numbers. There's likely a perfectly brewed beer for every lager-lover taste-bud out there. That's probably why last year's Monticello Lions' Brewfest had nearly three times the attendance they expected. This Saturday they're expecting even more IPA imbibers and Brewfest organizer Chad Vokaty is seriously excited about it.
Topping 900 last year, the Monitcello civic group is expecting close to 1200+ to make it out to the edge of the mighty Mississippi's West Bridge Park this time around.
Chad came on my show this morning to talk Brewfest, and he said that when it came to organize this year's event they took a combination of a bigger is better and if it ain't broke don't fix it approach. Adding several beer makers was the key to this year's Brewfest, and Chad says the big catch for them was getting Brooklyn Park micro brewer Surly on board for the sampling. In addition to the commemorative beer sampling mug you get, you'll hear music provided by The Blue Hazard Band.
You can listen to the entire interview below.
The Brewfest isn't just a gathering of beer lovers, though, it's an honest-to-goodness fundraising event for the Monticello Lions. Last year, the group raised enough money to cut a $10,000 check to the local food shelf.
You can get tickets for the event online here and save $10 off the gate price of $30. The Monticello Lions' Brewfest runs on Saturday August 17th from 3pm til 7pm at West Bridge Park on the banks of the Mississippi River in Monticello.

I'm walking around town with my beautiful fiance in my "Cancer Killer" t-shirt and I get all kinds of crazy looks. I've seen people whisper, stare, and walk in the other direction. At first I thought they were all amazed by her beauty…but then I realized, it was the shirt!
The "C" word gets people emotional. Everyone now-a-days knows somebody affected by cancer. And when we hear that word a certain level of fear creeps into our souls. I think that's because of the association people make with cancer like: sickness, death, chemotherapy, and radiation. That's because we have all been programmed to think that way. We've been BRAINWASHED into thinking the only road that follows cancer is sickness, death, chemotherapy, and radiation. Those are the treatment options 95% of the time. But did you know that 75% of the oncologists polled said that if they or a family member were diagnosed with cancer that they WOULD NOT do chemotherapy?
Yeah…that's scary!
A recent article published in Cancer Epidemiology, Bio-markers and Prevention showed that long term use of statin drugs more than double your risk for breast cancer.
Enough is enough! Conventional Medicine is falling short and the only reason there is no widespread CURE in medicine is because there is no MONEY in finding a cure. There's too much money in chemotherapy and radiation for there to be a new cure.
The truth is, THERE IS A CURE! It's called: Getting to the cause. Find the cause of the cancer (or insert other sickness/disease here) and you'll find the cure. Remove the cause (usually a sick body/person/organ(s)) and you have your cure. It's just that simple.
To learn how to get to the cause, go here: http://www.beacancerkiller.com/

Venezuela gets a fuhrer
Chavez Gains Free Rein in Venezuela
By Fabiola Sanchez
Associated Press
Wednesday, January 31, 2007
CARACAS, Venezuela -- President Hugo Chavez was granted free rein Wednesday to accelerate changes in broad areas of society by presidential decree, a move critics said propels Venezuela toward dictatorship.
Convening in a downtown plaza in a session that resembled a political rally, lawmakers unanimously gave Chavez sweeping powers to legislate by decree and impose his radical vision of a more egalitarian socialist state.
"Long live the sovereign people! Long live President Hugo Chavez! Long live socialism!" said National Assembly President Cilia Flores as she proclaimed the "enabling law" approved by a show of hands. "Fatherland, socialism or death! We will prevail!"
The law gives Chavez, who is beginning a fresh six-year term, more power than he has ever had in eight years as president, and he plans to use it during the next 18 months to transform broad areas of public life, from the economy and the oil industry in particular, to "social matters" and the very structure of the state.
His critics call it a radical lurch toward authoritarianism by a leader with unchecked power -- similar to how Fidel Castro monopolized leadership years ago in Cuba.
"If you have all the power, why do you need more power?" said Luis Gonzalez, a high school teacher who paused to watch in the plaza, calling it a "media show" intended to give legitimacy to a repugnant move. "We're headed toward a dictatorship, disguised as a democracy."
Hundreds of Chavez supporters wearing ruling-party red gathered in the plaza, waving signs reading "Socialism is democracy," as lawmakers read out passages of the law giving the president special powers to transform 11 areas of Venezuelan law.
"The people of Venezuela, not just the National Assembly, are giving this enabling power to the president of the republic," congresswoman Iris Varela told the crowd.
President Bush said Wednesday that he's "concerned about the Venezuelan people."
"I am concerned about the undermining of democratic institutions. And we're working to help prevent that from happening," Bush said in an interview with Fox News.
But in the square in Caracas, Venezuelan Vice President Jorge Rodriguez publicly ridiculed the idea that the law is an abuse of power, and argued democracy is flourishing.
"What kind of a dictatorship is this?" Rodriguez asked the crowd, saying the law "only serves to sow democracy and peace."
"Dictatorship is what there used to be," Rodriguez said. "We want to impose the dictatorship of a true democracy."
Chavez, a former paratroop commander re-elected with 63 percent of the vote in December, has said he will decree nationalizations of Venezuela's largest telecommunications company and the electricity sector, slap new taxes on the rich, and impose greater state control over the oil and natural gas industries.
The law also allows Chavez to dictate unspecified measures to transform state institutions; reform banking, tax, insurance and financial regulations; decide on security and defense matters such as gun regulations and military organization; and "adapt" legislation to ensure "the equal distribution of wealth" as part of a new "social and economic model."
Chavez plans to reorganize regional territories and carry out reforms aimed at bringing "power to the people" through thousands of newly formed Communal Councils designed to give Venezuelans a say on spending an increasing flow of state money on projects in their neighborhoods, from public housing to potholes.
Venezuelan historian Ines Quintero said that with the new powers, Chavez will achieve a level of "hegemony" that is unprecedented in the nation's nearly five decades of democratic history.
Opposition leader Julio Borges called for the 4 million Venezuelans who voted against Chavez not to be left out of decision-making, particularly as he pushes for constitutional changes including scrapping the term limits that would end his presidency in 2013.
"The worst we Venezuelans can do is throw in the towel and become like an ostrich (burying our heads in the sand) and giving up the fight," Borges told the Venezuelan radio station Union Radio.
But the top U.S. diplomat for Latin America, Thomas Shannon, said the enabling law isn't anything new in Venezuela.
"It's something valid under the constitution," said Shannon, the assistant secretary of state for Western Hemisphere affairs, told reporters in Colombia. "As with any tool of democracy, it depends how it is used," he added. "At the end of the day, it's not a question for the United States or for other countries, but for Venezuela."
Chavez has requested special powers twice before, but for more modest legislative changes.
In 1999, shortly after he was first elected, he used it to push through two new taxes and a revision of the income tax law after facing fierce opposition in congress. In 2001, invoking an "enabling law" for the second time, he decreed 49 laws including controversial agrarian reform measures and a law that sharply raised taxes on foreign oil companies.
Now Chavez has a free hand to bring under state control the oil and natural gas projects still run by private companies in Venezuela, a top oil supplier to the United States and home to South America's largest gas reserves.
Chavez has said companies upgrading heavy oil in the Orinoco River basin -- British Petroleum PLC, Exxon Mobil Corp., Chevron Corp., ConocoPhillips Co., Total SA, and Statoil ASA -- must submit to state-controlled joint ventures. The new law enables Chavez to unilaterally "regulate" this transition if companies don't agree to the new framework within an unspecified "peremptory period."

text: It's been around for a bit, but I figured I should post about a little side project I've been working on. As a physicist, I spend a lot of time tracking down citations; and typically they are in a handful of journals. Rather than bookmarking the journal homepage or search box, I realized that reverse-engineering the search URL for each journal was pretty simple. After that, it was just a matter of wrapping a little mac dashboard widget around them and presto: 1-click article retrieval.More details at the project page: http://www.phy.duke.edu/~dawes/computing/articlewidget.php

Oral Health Professionals Association
Our Association is a nationally coordinated association representing oral health professionals across Australia. Our structure has a national executive with representative s from each state and a series of Colleges (Dental Technicians & Dental Prosthetists) servicing the needs of the various sectors within the oral health team. It is expected that colleges for other oral health disciplines (Dental Assistants, Therapists, Hygienists) will be established when the membership numbers dictate individual representation. OHPA services members through the delivery of information, education, resources and representation specific to the oral health profession.
While OHPA generally does not refer or recommend any clinics, due to many enquiries we get for dental emergency treatments we have carefully selected one provider below.
For dental emergencies, we recommend the Emergency Dentist Perth, Radiant Smiles Dental Care.
The OHPA is the custodian for the Dental Technology profession in Australia and provides, public education and promotion, advocacy initiatives to promote the profession's future, and offers a strong unified voice for the profession whenever called upon. By joining the OHPA you will have added another voice to the existing membership of Oral Health Professionals in Australia.
Dental Implant Procedures – How Dental Implants Work?
Dental implants are surgically placed in your jawbone, where they act as the roots of missing teeth. Due to the titanium in the implants fuses with your jawbone, the implants won't slip, make noise or cause bone damage the way dental bridges or dentures might.
The complete dental implant procedure can last anywhere between 6 weeks and 6 months. The condition of your teeth and jaw will be assessed during the initial consultation. This would help dentists decide the type of implant and treatment you'd need.
After administering local/general anaesthesia, you might be provided with bone graft if there's inadequate bone density. This is to make sure your implant is well supported.
The implant will be inserted in the next step, followed by placing the replacement teeth.
If you are outside of the Perth Metro area and in need of a dental implant procedure Coolamon Dental in Ellenbrook provides Tooth Implant Perth and as well as dentures. When you are planning on getting dental implants, you might want to read about Dental Implants Perth.
Buy Australian
Are you one of the many Australians who prefer buy Australian Made products?
If Yes, ask that your prosthesis is made in an Australian Dental Laboratory, not overseas.
At OHPA we support the Australian Dental Laboratory industry that serves the health and safety of dental patients through the application, adherance to all government regulations as applicable and to cater the needs of patients on dental services like braces, invisialign, root canal and general dentistry like wisdom teeth removal.
Regulations range from:
- The Therapeutic Goods Act that regulates the materials recommended for use in the health industry,
- The Workplace Health and Safety regulations that provide frameworks for safe working conditions;
- Infection Control requirements to protect you from transfer infections,
Environmental regulations for safe management of dust and fumes in the making of prosthesis,
- Fair Work Commission Award wages, ensuring fair wages for all those working in a laboratory.
By asking for your prosthesis to be made in an Australian Dental Laboratory you are:
- Safeguarding yourself in the knowledge that the prosthesis must be made in compliance with Australian regulations,
- Supporting the Australian economy and a local industry through your actions,
- Helping to secure skills and practices for the service of future generations.
In 2011, the OHPA featured in a Channel 7 news article highlighting the issue and impact of imported Dental Prosthesis. View the news article today, as the issues are still relevant to all dental patients.
Dental Laboratory Accredition Program
A Laboratory bearing the OHPA Accreditation Seal provides you with assurance that it has met specific standards relating to quality, Work, Health and Safety regulations, as well as business and manufacturing practices.
By earning and maintaining an Accreditation Status, the Dental Laboratory is always monitoring and attempting to improve the quality and efficiency of their services and facilities.
The OHPA Accreditation Program was established in 2006 with participation from a wide range of Industry Experts. The program is self-regulating and is administered, maintained and managed by OHPA, the Industry Association.
An OHPA Accredited Laboratory must certify that they:
- Use TGA registered materials
- Meet the WHS requirements
- Has an Infection Control Procedure in place

With all the bickering and fighting everywhere, sometimes it's hard to believe that people can still show genuine concern for others. So, I searched the Internet for random acts of kindness and ended up with a warm feeling somewhere inside my chest (as well as some salty liquid in my eyes at times). Before I share some of the stories from my search, allow me to take a cue from Princess Poppy and Branch (Trolls) and say: "Kindness is inside of ALL of us. Sometimes we just need someone to help us find it."
1) For 19 years, farmer Pak Sadiman planted trees across 10 hectares of land to save his village from drought. The 65-year-old Sadiman bought seedlings with his own money, and walked up and down his beloved hill. He did all the work alone because the villagers did not believe in his vision. Sadiman vows to plant more trees as long as he is physically able to do so.
2) Roderick Mathis isn't Santa Clause, but in December he gave his classmates with special needs their own Vans sneakers. When his classmates told Mathis they liked his shoes, he promised to get them some.
3) An elderly man was shoveling his driveway when he had a cardiac arrest. These Wisconsin firefighters came to his aid twice: bringing him to the hospital AND returning to his home to shovel his driveway.
4) More than 40 train commuters at the Stirling Station in Australia worked together to free a man trapped between the train and the platform. The man's leg got stuck as he was stepping onto the train.
5) Jacqueline Nytepi Kiplimo from Kenya helps a disabled Chinese runner from the 10 km. to the 38 km. mark, grabbing bottles for him to keep him hydrated. Kiplimo finished second in the race, but this picture sure wins her a medal in kindness.
6) Officer Jose Flores went to Lowe's Home Improvement store in El Paso after the staff called police to assist in transporting a homeless man to an open shelter. The man was inside the store to keep warm and the staff had raised money to get him food. Since the man did not have any shoes, Officer Flores bought him a pair of boots, socks, and gloves some before they left.
7) Fearing death, Alex Assali fled Damascus in 2007 and started a new life in Germany. To "pay back German people" for giving him asylum, Assali sets up a small table outside Berlin's Alexanderplatz station and hands out hot food to about 100 homeless people in the area.
8) Chandler Self was leading the BMW Dallas Marathon when her legs started to buckle at the 21/2 mile of the relay race. Luckily, high school senior Ariana Luterman was there to help her. Luterman told Self "I'm going to be your pacer. We're going to get you that win." When Self's legs collapsed from under her a few feet from the finish line, Luterman helped her get up – and cross the finish line.
9) When Melanie Bailey saw fellow runner Danielle LeNoue on the ground and sobbing in pain, Bailey asked LeNoue to hop on her back so they could finish the Eastern Dakota Conference's Cross County Championship.
10) Najih Shaker Al-Baldawi hugged an ISIS bomber just before the latter entered Sayyed Mohammad Shrine and detonated his explosives. Al-Baldawi's selfless act saved hundreds of lives that day.
11) Jahmal Cole sent this Tweet on a Friday night because his inbox was full of requests from his elderly neighbors. Guess how many people showed up to help him – A HUNDRED AND TWENTY!
12) Hillary Park is the owner of Happy BiBim Bap House, the popular and only traditional Korean restaurant in Salem, Oregon. But at 2:30 pm on Mondays, Park and her family close their successful store to prepare food for the homeless community under the Marion Street Bridge.
13) Nasir Sobhani used to spend his time getting high on cocaine. Now, he spends it cutting hair for homeless people in Melbourne. He's earned the nickname "The Streets Barber" and says cutting hair is his new "high."
14) An 8th grade teacher had a "giving tree" in her class, from where she and her kids took off an angel = a little girl who wanted a bike and clothes. Her kids agreed to bring in $2 each so they could get some clothes because they couldn't afford a bike. The next morning, one of the kids came in with this.
15) David Deutchman was an international marketing executive and a guest lecturer at universities. Now, he is more popularly known as "ICU Grandpa" at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. Deutchman cradles babies at Children's pediatric and neonatal ICUs twice a week and helping parents cope.

The most distinctive and unique creations have been selected to carry the Showcase Collection banner.
Many of Cellar Crafts wine kits stand apart from their other offerings and have been deemed worthy of Showcase designation. Their distinction may come from breakthrough technology, such as the crushed grape packs, unique regional wines or any wine which we believe reflects a new level of excellence or discovery for the wine hobbyist. The level of excellence may require extra processing steps and, while designed to be bottle-ready in as little as 6 weeks, may require lengthier cellaring time to show at their peak.

One of the companies presenting innovative solutions at O&S is Munich-based Poligrat, which has developed a new technique based on a vitreous ceramic coating. As an all-embracing event, O&S covers the entire spectrum of surface technology, presenting coating methods for metals, plastics, glass and ceramics. Among the most prominent topics addressed are electrolytic coating technology, industrial plasma surface treatment and micro-materials processing.
Many current methods for producing colored metal surfaces, including PVD coating and chemical dyes, do not meet increasingly stringent and complex environmental and customer requirements. Surfaces produced with these methods often do not have the desired properties – e.g. color palette, depth or intensity – as needed for versatile use. Poligrat has developed an entirely new technique based on a vitreous ceramic coating to address these issues. The Verospectral® coating preserves the specific metallic character of the surface while at the same time optimizing usability. "With Verospectral we've created a product that can simultaneously meet demands for aesthetic diversity, a wide range of applications, cost effectiveness, durability, resource conservation and environmental protection," said Siegfried Pießlinger-Schweiger, owner and CEO of Poligrat.
Verospectral – the name means "true color" – consists of a transparent, colorless vitreous ceramic coating just two to four microns thick. The coating contains inorganic pigments in direct contact with the metal, arranged in a defined pattern and concentration to generate specific light and color effects. The tiny pigment particles are evenly distributed over the surface, preserving the metallic character by leaving the metal surface visible between the individual particles. Color saturation can be adjusted by varying the number of particles per unit area. A nearly seamless range of colors can be achieved with the coating, including black, white, and intermediate gray tones. In addition, the depth and intensity of the individual hues can be adjusted from a slight haze to full coverage. Multicolor surfaces can also be produced. The colors change with the viewing angle and the angle of the incident light, giving the surface a livelier aspect.
Coating stainless steel, aluminum and zinc
Starting from eight basic colors, virtually all desired colors and tints can be produced by mixing the pigments appropriately. The pigments are first pulverized to particle sizes significantly less than one micron using a method developed by Poligrat. They are completely covered by the coating, and thus not exposed to the ambient environment. Only the vitreous ceramic coating is in contact with the environment, and it alone determines the surface's properties in use. The interplay of colors and shapes creates fascinating potential for highly diverse implementation of architectural components. Metallic surfaces can be fashioned in particular with stainless steel and Corten steel (a weatherproof structural steel), aluminum and zinc. Application is largely independent of material quality and finish.
Poligrat is exhibiting Verospectral, which has already been honored with a special mention in the Architecture + Construction 2015 Innovation Award competition, within its company showcase at O&S 2016.
Initial projects for colored metal surfaces
Poligrat currently has several projects for the new coating in the pipeline, and noteworthy reference projects for their Poliant® coating are already underway. Poliant is a vitreous ceramic coating like Verospectral, but without the color. In a project started in 2013, the mezzanine floor of the Marienplatz metro station in Munich is being completely renovated and redesigned. Poligrat is a major contributor to the new wall covering. The stainless steel facade has a Poliant coating for graffiti and fingerprint resistance and easy cleaning, which in comparable applications has yielded cost savings of up to 70 percent for property owners and operators. The coating also increases corrosion resistance and complies with all building inspection approval requirements as well as fire protection standards. Coated stainless steel panels are also used in the Olympiazentrum metro station in Munich.
"An important aspect of Verospectral is its durability. Our coating is resistant to aging, UV radiation, dirt and pollution, temperatures up to 400°C, and most chemicals," explained Pießlinger-Schweiger. Furthermore, no environmentally harmful substances are used in its production, it contains no chromates, and there is no accrued waste. The actual production process is simple. Verospectral is applied by spraying and then baked. Interested persons can find out more from Poligrat at O&S 2016.

Vilms is a woman whose stature, grooming, and manner suggest seriousness of purpose. She has straight, pepper-gray hair, a compact frame that is neither stout nor slender, and a line of social attack that is neither particularly artful, nor entirely discourteous. "What happened?" she snaps, by way of introductory comment.
I'm late. I've kept her waiting at the Steelhead Beach parking lot half an hour beyond the planned meeting time for our afternoon kayaking expedition along the Russian River. She looks down at my leather, brass-buckled shoes, up my cotton bluejeans, and along my cotton flannel shirt in the disapproving manner of a mother scanning a child smeared with jelly. "Didn't you bring kayaking clothes?" she asks.
I hadn't brought them, even though I'd known we would spend three hours inspecting ecological details along a calmish stretch of the mid-Russian River. After listening to me mumble about my clothes, and hearing me haltingly admit I barely know how to operate a kayak, Vilms lets her voice fade to gentleness. "Well, I've got some nylon pants that will probably fit you. Would you like to borrow some neoprene booties? And a hat. You don't want to get sunburned, do you?"
As the oft-heard voice of Friends of the Russian River, a coalition of Sonoma County environmental groups, Vilms and her curmudgeon-with-a-heart-of-gold manner are the perfect companion to this troubled stream, which itself serves as a parable for urban Northern California's tortured relationship with its incomparable natural surroundings.
Though the Russian is not the kind of rapids-shooting river worshipped by rafting aficionados, this beautiful, meandering, once-great trout- and salmon-spawning ground is the site of more political turbulence than perhaps any similar-sized body of water in California.
There are fights over who will handle millions of dollars in federal funds to restore salmon and steelhead habitat.
There are battles between vintners and environmentalists over water use and care of the river's watershed and riparian areas.
Developers and environmentalists square off over planning laws.
Fishermen, environmentalists, tourism entrepreneurs, local politicians, and county bureaucrats feud over water diversion.
And if all sides in these complicated disputes take care to use language favoring the preservation of natural resources, vitriol often takes the day. "Human beings aren't my favorite species," muses Vilms, a frequent warrior in these clashes.
It almost had to come to this.
Since the era of John Muir, the dominant environmental belief system in America and, particularly, Northern California has held the view that the natural world is precious and should be preserved. Under that belief system, it's wrong to foul the environment or wipe out its species and ecosystems; over time, laws and bureaucracies, including the Endangered Species Act, the Clean Air Act, and the Environmental Protection Agency, were created to prevent such depredation. But during the quarter-century since most of these changes went into effect, we really haven't had to give them much practical thought. We played with our kids in the back yard, drove to the hills on the weekends, and recycled; if we were particularly sensitive to the environment, we decorated with native plants and put solar cells on our roofs.
But now, in what may be a harbinger of environmental conflict coming to the rest of the state and nation, Sonoma County and other high-growth areas of California are finally colliding with the full force and high cost of what had, until recently, been distant environmen- tal laws.
This summer, in a first-of-its-kind dispute, Sonoma County water officials had to wage a fierce Washington lobbying battle with federal wildlife officials to raise the level of the Russian River so water could be pumped to nearby cities and towns. Elsewhere in the state the Endangered Species Act required the Central Valley Project, which sends Sacramento River water to southern counties, including Los Angeles, to cut back on water deliveries to help preserve Chinook salmon. Last month, a court delayed regulators' plan to further cut Sacramento River water deliveries to protect a fish called the Sacramento splittail.
During the coming months and years, measures created to preserve the environment will likely require more and more people to abandon the thought of owning houses and cars, and the possibility of realizing the California dream of a countrified city life. And those people might -- just might -- have to abandon their summertime getaways along the banks of the Russian River, because there's a possibility, as yet unexamined, that environmental law could require the river to go dry during the summer for the first time in a century.
Finding people who'll talk about the troubles of the Russian River is not difficult. A dozen Sonoma County advocacy groups are, in one way or another, concerned with the river. Many businesses depend on the river for survival. Farm groups and other water-using associations spend their days fretting about the Russian. Governments of all stripes seem to deliberate constantly about it. As I looked at the complicated nexus of law and policy surrounding the river, I talked to environmental activists, politicians, state, federal, and local water officials, a local builder, and ordinary Sonoma County residents.
But before I wrote anything about the river, I also wanted to spend time with it, and Vilms' offer to show me its problems seemed fortuitous.
After she provides me with a proper river-touring uniform -- floppy adventurer's hat, slippery nylon running pants, a pair of nifty, never-used wet-suit booties -- we hoist two plastic kayaks from the top of her van. Vilms gives me the larger craft, even though it's the better of the two and the one she's used to.
"It's more stable," she says. "You'll like it better."

I am a total Type A, perfectionist, always striving to be and look my best. But what does that mean for my appearance since I'm so sick?
Society tells me that thin is beautiful BUT my doctor tells me, that thin indicates that I'm sick.
However, in society, beautiful does not equate to sickness and having weight on you does not equal beauty. Are you confused yet? Because I am.
Weight is a hard topic for me to write about for a variety of reasons, hence why I've avoided it up to this point. My weight fluctuates so much when I am sick that I have a variety of clothing sizes. I have worn anything from a 00 to an 8. After spending 5 continuous weeks in the hospital, I had dropped down to a mere 116 lbs, which in my head I knew was not good and I understood that I was underweight BUT I also got used to that weight and enjoyed being very thin.
Prednisone and TPN. Now it gets complicated, because a couple months after my hospital stay, when I started TPN and went up on prednisone, I gained weight. For anyone who has been on prednisone, you know that it can make you gain killer weight, super fast. Like 20 lbs or so over a couple months. All of a sudden, I hated how I looked. I knew I was still thin, but it didn't feel like it because I was comparing it to the weight I was after the hospital.
Body Dysmorphia. To make matter worse, I have what is called body dysmorphia. To put it simply, I don't see what others see when I look in the mirror. I found out that I saw a different reality, when I struggled with an eating disorder in high school. No matter how much weight I lost, I had the inability to see it, but the minute I gained weight, I saw it immediately.
Up and Down. This is a hard topic for me to write about because I have such little control over my weight and yet it bothers me so much when I don't perceive myself as thin. It makes me question the influence society has women and their appearance.
I mean look at me, I should be celebrating gaining weight, because it means that for once my body has proper nutrition! But instead, when I gain weight I can't stand it and get frustrated.
Wait? Weight...Again?. I hate that I care so much about my weight. I hate that I can't be happy when I gain weight and I hate that I don't see what everyone else sees. Its a frustrating and never ending cycle that is only aggravated by society and my disease.
Due to that fact that those two influences in my life present conflicting views on weight and the fact that I have a perfectionist personality, I think weight is something that I will always struggle with.
Although this is hard to talk about, I know other people deal with this issue and so i want to be honest about where I am coming from. There are times that I have looked in the mirror and been fighting tears of frustration because I didn't like what I saw. I am confident and independent, but that does not mean that there are not things that I struggle with.
I want other people to know that they are not alone in this struggle with weight. Especially those who struggle with a chronic disease. There are so many other things to worry about when you are sick that it seems dumb to worry about weight, but in all honesty, for someone like me, it is a constant battle in my not so normal life.

In memory of Maestro Gualtiero Marchesi
San Patrignano is close to the family of Maestro Gualtiero Marchesi for their loss. The residents and the wardens of the community remember with great affection not only the chef, but above all the man who, with great curiosity and availability, had approached the reality of Rimini to know it, discover it and support it. He has always done it with the same great love shown for the cuisine, supporting the community in various projects and events related to the food sectors of San Patrignano, starting from that chocolate panettone he supported and encouraged in one of the many Expo events conceived together. Not to mention his contribution also in the craft project concerning the reuse of barriques, when he had chosen to design a door. A mentor that has been close to San Patrignano in these years, helping our residents with great humility and always having a word of encouragement for them, which is why the community will never forget it.

Video shows Islamic Jihad digging new Gaza tunnels
Al-Jazeera TV reporter descends beneath the border with Israel to see preparations for 'next battle'
Stuart Winer is a breaking news editor at The Times of Israel.
Gazan terror group Islamic Jihad is rebuilding tunnels beneath the Strip, including some that are to burrow under the border with Israel, according to a report from Al-Jazeera TV.
In a video broadcast by the Qatar-based news channel last week, a reporter was given access to digging operations that, he said, began as soon as the recent conflict in Gaza ended.
English subtitles for the video were provided Tuesday by the Middle East Media Research Institute.
At the start of the clip the reporter is shown being taken blindfolded to the tunnel entrance to conceal its location. Once inside the tunnel the reporter, who must hunch over in order to make his way along the low passageway, explains that it is being "dug by resistance fighters in this border area."
The tunnel looks similar to dozens of others discovered by IDF forces in the past with cement blocks positioned to shore up the walls and roof.
"What is remarkable about this tunnel is that it is has been dug recently," he says. "As you can see it is still being dug."
On Sunday unnamed defense officials rejected claims by another senior official that Hamas has already begun rearming and rebuilding its attack tunnels, less than two weeks into an open-ended truce in the Gaza Strip.
The tunnels became a main objective of a ground invasion of Gaza in July, and several were used to carry out attacks against Israeli soldiers both in the Strip and in Israel.
During the seven-week long military campaign, the IDF destroyed over 30 tunnels dug under the border with Israel.
The sides agreed to cease hostilities in late August, after 50 days of fighting.
Islamic Jihad operates as a separate, and sometimes rival, organization to Hamas, which rules the Gaza Strip.
In the video, workers can be seen dragging chains of large buckets of excavated sand from the tunnel.
"There have been some cave-ins," the reporter says," but the work goes on."
At the end of the tunnel, a worker is seen digging sand away to lengthen the passage.
"We are now in one of the tunnels of the Al-Quds Brigades," the worker explains, using the name of Islamic Jihad's armed wing, "on which work began as soon as the war on Gaza ended, and the ceasefire was declared. We have begun work and we are continuing it regardless of the threats by the Zionist enemy."
"We will not be hindered by the threats of the enemy, or by the ban on importing cement and other building materials," he adds.
When asked about the purpose of the tunnels, the worker responds: "We are getting these tunnels ready for the next battle in order to launch attacks and fire mortars and artillery."
"These tunnels will also have other uses which we will not disclose," he adds in the video.
The reporter was also shown another, more developed tunnel, that included underground firing positions from which Islamic Jihad fighters plan to emerge in order to fire anti-tank missiles at IDF armored forces should they enter Gaza.
In the video, its members openly demonstrated how they plan to set up the weapons and also showed off a shoulder-launched anti-aircraft missile.
At the beginning of the week an unnamed senior official said Hamas had resumed digging the cross-border tunnels, replenishing its weapons stockpile, and manufacturing projectiles.
"We see that they've already started smuggling weapons into Gaza from Egypt, producing rockets and repairing the tunnels," the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
Citing intelligence information, the source said that Hamas's ability to produce rockets has been severely hit, but added that about 40 percent of the terrorist group's rocket-creation facility is still functional.
Other officials later denied that Hamas had begun rearming.

We Dream of Honour John Berryman's Letters to His Mother By John Berryman Edited by Richard J. Kelly. Illustrated. 405 pages. W. W. Norton & Company. $22.50.
In his masterwork, the several hundred ''Dream Songs'' collected in two volumes, John Berryman transformed his own pain and grief, his insistent sense of mortality, into the luminous, enduring music of verse. Public events occasionally surfaced in these poems, and literary references freely proliferated, but the dominant impulse was always confessional - a need to articulate his own spiritual conflicts and commemorate the losses that he and a generation had sustained. The hero of these poems, Berryman felt obliged to point out, was not himself but ''an imaginary character'' named Henry, ''a white American in early middle age sometimes in black face, who has suffered an irreversible loss and talks about himself sometimes in the first person, sometimes in the third, sometimes even in the second.'' He is occassionally addressed as ''Mr. Bones.''
The Dream Songs, along with a remarkable earlier poem called ''Homage to Mistress Bradstreet,'' earned the poet fame and recognition; but like so many members of his generation - Robert Lowell, Randall Jarrell, Delmore Schwartz - Berryman demonstrated palpably little talent for ordinary life. ''Out of affection and goodwill he made gestures of normalcy,'' Saul Bellow once wrote of his friend. ''He was a husband, a citizen, father, a householder, he went on the wagon, he fell off, he joined A.A. He knocked himself out to be like everybody else - he liked, he loved, he cared, but he was aware that there was something peculiarly comical in all this. And at last it must have seemed that he had used up all his resources.''
On Jan. 7, 1972, he climbed over the railing of the Washington Avenue Bridge, between St. Paul and Minneapolis, and jumped off. He was 57 years old.
The best spiritual biography of Berryman, of course, is to be found in his poems, but recent years have seen the publication of at least one detailed biography; and we now have before us the first volume of his correspondence. For Berryman, letter-writing was a form of discipline whereby he might develop and perfect a style, and it was also a way of keeping ''a kind of diary'' that he might refer to later when writing poems.
As edited by Richard J. Kelly, an educator and scholar, this particular selection gives us only intermittent glimpses of the literary world that Berryman inhabited (in this respect, ''Poets in Their Youth,'' an absorbing memoir by Eileen Simpson, a former wife, is far more revealing), but it nonetheless reads like a Bildungsroman, chronicling all of the vicissitudes of his intellectual and emotional development. We hear firsthand about his hero worship of Yeats, and we witness his gradual abandonment of a high-flown, self-consciously literary manner for a more colloquial diction - a shift mirrored, obviously, by his discovery, in the poems, of his own idiosyncratic voice. At the same time, the volume gives the reader a stunningly intimate portrait of a son and his mother - a portrait of an anomalous relationship animated by love, devotion, resentment and a startling amount of emotional neediness and willful manipulation.
No doubt the intensity of Berryman's relationship with his mother was a byproduct of his father's suicide and his mother's own forceful, possessive nature. The fact that his father killed himself when John was 12 years old would reverberate throughout the poet's verse, echoing later losses and abdications, and it would also leave him with the suspicion that suicide, in Denis Donoghue's words, was somehow in his own life's ''script.'' The event compelled Mrs. Berryman to cast her eldest son increasingly in the role of a husband surrogate while also projecting onto him her own thwarted artistic ambitions. As a result, she helped nurture John's literary dreams but also suffocated his independence.
In fact, when Mrs. Berryman wasn't urging her son to write more frequently (he complied with more than 700 letters), she was dispensing advice or meddling in his domestic affairs. Rarely was this done directly. Instead, she seems to have been adept at playing upon anxiety and guilt. Having learned that he's met a girl he likes in England, she warns him about the dangerous consequences that personal happiness may have on his work; years later, when chastised for interfering in his marriage, she sulkily offers to withdraw from his life completely.
Over time, their relationship underwent an evolution. The schoolboy letters from South Kent School and Cambridge are filled with efforts to win her attention and approval: there are prideful notations of grades and prizes, fervent avowals of his scholarly ambitions and melodramatic outbursts of self-pity. This dependence continues for years, but Berryman slowly grows more resentful of his mother's continued efforts to insinuate herself as the ''all-giver'' in his life. By the mid-50's, their quarrels have become so serious that communication is frequently suspended, only to give way to further recriminations. In the last year of his life, notes Mr. Kelly, Berryman ''made an earnest effort (and to some extent suceeded) in redressing'' the situation, but by then it was too late. By then, he'd already descended into a darkening and terminal spiral of depression.
The strain of sustaining three vocations (as a poet, a scholar and a teacher), coupled with three unsuccessful marriages and a succession of doomed affairs, had led to a string of drinking bouts and nervous collapses. Berryman spoke of seeing people as ''unhappy & driven'' and suffered intimations of ''impending nightmare.'' In ''Delusions, Etc.'' a volume of poetry completed shortly before his death, he wrote: . . . Hosts of regrets come & find me empty. I don't feel this will change. I don't want any thing or person, familiar or strange. I don't think I will sing any more just now; or ever. . . .

The government warned Friday that tens of thousands of tabletop feeding chairs for babies and toddlers are not safe. The Consumer Product Safety Commission says children could be hurt in certain versions of the "metoo" clip-on tabletop chairs imported by Colorado-based phil&teds USA Inc. The CPSC says numerous children – believed to be about a dozen – have been injured.
The chairs have metal clamps that attach to most table tops, such as a restaurant table. The CPSC says those clamps can easily come loose, causing the chair to detach and sending the child plummeting to the floor.
Fingers or hands can also be pinched or crushed when the chairs partially detach from a table, catching a child's fingers or hands between the clamp and a metal bar on the front of the chair.
The commission says the company refused to agree to a national recall that was acceptable to the agency.
A call to the company in Fort Collins seeking comment was not immediately returned.
The clip-on chairs involved in the commission's warning do not have plastic spacers between the table clamps and the front metal bar.
The company also has clip-on chairs with plastic spacers between the clamps and bar – and those chairs are under investigation, the CPSC said.
On its website, the company is offering rubberized grips to cover the chair's clamps. CPSC spokesman Scott Wolfson says the grip replacement kits being offered by phil&teds will not keep children safe in the seat.
"Even with those rubber boots, the chair can still slip off a table," said Wolfson. "We believe the company needs to come up with a free remedy that will prevent children from falling or having an amputation hazard if one side of the chair detaches."
The commission said the company had claimed on its website to be offering the replacement kits in cooperation with the CPSC. The commission says there was no such agreement and maintains the kits fail to keep children safe in the chair.
The "metoo" chairs have been sold at nationwide retailers such as Target and Toys R Us as well as online.

Directed By – George Miller
Screenplay By – George Miller, Brendan McCarthy & Nick Lathouris
Cinematography By – John Seale
Starring Tom Hardy, Charlize Theron & Nicholas Hoult
120 min.
Oh did I see Fury Road again the next day?! You bet your sweet ass I did! There's to much awesomeness going on to be satisfied by just one viewing.
THIS MOVIE FUCKING KICKS ASS, everything about it. The opening sequence of Max getting caught and trying to escape is amazing. Mad Max getting used as a fucking blood bag. Getting strapped to the front of a fucking car. Surviving the craziest sandstorm known to man. It is all fucking amazing!
Tankers flip over. Canyons crumble. Faces get ripped off! There's a tiny weird person with a telescope. There's a man with legs the size of elephant's. There's a flame throwing guitar!
Tom Hardy is a complete badass. Charlize Theron creates a character that all people, male and female alike, should idealize. "Nicholas Hoult giv[es] the greatest acting performance in the history of cinema." The list goes on and on.
This movie is the best big budget movie to come out since The Dark Knight and I firmly believe it.
God Bless America

OROVILLE — California Controller John Chiang said that California is in much better financial shape than in previous years, but risk is still there.
Chiang, who made the comments during the 14th annual Northstate Economic Forecast Conference in Oroville today, said there's one main thing that Californians need to remember: Don't go crazy.
Taking on more debt and continuing to overspend got Californians into trouble before, pushing the state into recession.
"We're feeling more comfortable now," he said, "But the risk is still there."
California residents and the government must continue to be disciplined, he said.
