How to Replace Found Text in Word 2013
When you want to find something and replace it with something else in Word 2013, you use the Find and Replace command. Suppose that you may want to change all instances of ungulates in your document to ruminants. Here's how that's done:
1On the Home tab, click the Replace command button, found nestled in the Editing group on the far right side of the Ribbon.
When the Replace command button isn't visible in the Editing group, click the Editing button, and then choose the Replace command button from the pop-up group of command buttons that appears.
Choosing the Replace command button displays the Find and Replace dialog box. It should be familiar if you've often used the Advanced Find command. After all, finding stuff is the first part of using Find and Replace.
2In the Find What box, type the text you want to find.
You want to replace this text with something else. So, if you're finding coffee and replacing it with tea, type coffee.
Press the Tab key when you're done typing.
3In the Replace With box, type the text you want to use to replace the original text.
To continue from the example in Step 2, you type tea here.
4Click the Find Next button.
At this point, the Replace command works just like the Find command: Word scours your document for the text you typed in the Find What dialog box. When that text is found, you move on to the next step; otherwise, the Replace command fails because there's nothing to replace.
5Click the Replace button.
Word replaces the found text, highlighted onscreen, with the text typed in the Replace With box.
6Continue replacing.
After you click the Replace button, Word immediately searches for the next instance of the text, at which point you repeat the previous steps until the entire document has been searched.
7Read the summary that's displayed and Click OK.
After the last bit of text is replaced, a dialog box appears and tells you that the operation is complete.
All the restrictions, options, and rules for the Find command also apply to finding and replacing text.
The keyboard shortcut for the Replace command is Ctrl+H. F, G, and H are found together on the computer keyboard, and Find, Replace, and Go To are found together in the Find and Replace dialog box.
The Replace command's dialog box also sports a More button, which can be used exactly as the More button for the Find command.
Word may find and replace your text in the middle of another word, such as use in causes. Oops! Click the More button and select the Find Whole Words Only option to prevent such a thing from happening.

Soju is an ancient form of clear alcohol distilled from rice and other grains. It was first made in the 1300s in Korea during the Mongolian occupation. It remains a popular drink, particularly in South Korea, and is sometimes mistakenly called rice wine. In fact, it is quite different from rice wine or sake, since it is not made solely from rice and has a much higher alcohol content, about 20-35% alcohol.
Some compare the taste of soju to vodka, though it tends to have a sweeter finish. The sweetness may come not only from the rice but the addition of grains like wheat, barley and tapioca. Soju is usually also sweetened with sugar during the distillation process.
In Korea, soju is served in small shot glasses, or can be used to make mixed drinks. Mixing it with lemon-lime sodas is particularly popular among younger Koreans. When consumed in the traditional manner, Koreans have very specific ways of serving and drinking the beverage, and appreciate foreigners who follow these customs.
A few of these rules include never pouring your own glass of soju, and never refilling a shot glass with more until it is completely empty. Respect for elders when drinking soju is demonstrated by younger people turning away from their elders to drink from their filled glasses, and holding the glass with two hands if a person of superior stature is pouring it. Drinkers have the option of either sipping soju or taking it in a single shot. Either form is considered polite.
The largest manufacturer of soju is the company Jinro. Doosan is another popular Korean brand. The drink is very popular, with several billion bottles consumed yearly. A form has also migrated to Japan, where it is called hochu. Koreans, like the Japanese, also are fans of sake, which is known as cheongju.
In South Korea, soju is one of the least expensive types of alcohol to buy, partly accounting for its popularity. It also has a lengthy history in the Korean culture, and is especially associated with gatherings of friends. Typically, it is consumed in group settings.
Post 3
I had soju when I was in South Korea and I vowed to never have it again. I experienced the worst hangover of my life from this drink. It's very cheap in Korea so it's popular, but it's not smooth and just makes me sick. I guess Koreans have tolerance to this stuff because many people mix soju with beer before they drink it! Sake makes me sick too, but it's better than soju.
I think soju is more about the cultural experience than the taste. I had it in South Korea but I wouldn't touch it here.
Post 2
@fBoyle-- If you like malty, sweet and strong alcohol, you will like soju drinks. You can certainly buy it in the US. It's available online as well as at stores selling alcoholic beverages. In large cities, many bars and restaurants have also started serving the drink. It's becoming more and more popular in the US.
I just recommend taking it easy, especially the first few times. Soju tastes great but it has a high alcohol content. So you won't even realize how drunk you are until later. It really hits me after some time. So enjoy it slowly.
Post 1
Is it possible to get soju wine in the States? I've had rice wine before. I know that soju is very different but I've never had the opportunity to try it. If South Koreans are so fond of it, it must be good.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

Description for Cabbage F1 Deep Shikha 60
Cabbage (Brassica oleracea or variants) is a leafy green biennial plant, grown as an annual vegetable crop for its dense-leaved heads. Closely related to other cole crops, such as broccoli, cauliflower, and brussels sprouts, it descends from B. oleracea var. oleracea, a wild field cabbage.
Cabbage heads generally range from 1 to 8 pounds (0.5 to 4 kg), and can be green, purple and white. Smooth-leafed firm-headed green cabbages are the most common, with smooth-leafed red and crinkle-leafed savoy cabbages of both colors seen more rarely.
This cool-season crop grows best when daytime temperatures are in the 60s F. Direct-seed or transplant spring crops for fresh use in summer. Plant fall crops for winter storage or sauerkraut. Lifecycle: annual
Ease-of-care: moderately difficult, Requires good soil, timely planting and protection from pests.
Planting and care
The planting season for cabbage is quite long. Early cabbage should be transplanted as soon as possible so that it can mature before summertime heat. If you have been wondering when to plant cabbage plants, you should know that several varieties are available at different maturity times so you can have a harvest all summer long.
When thinking about when to plant cabbage plants, you should remember that hardened plants can be very tolerant of frosts. Therefore, you can plant these early in the spring with other cool season vegetables. Late cabbage can be started during mid-summer, but remember that they won't develop a head until fall.
Caring for Cabbage F1 Deep Shikha 60
- When transplants reach 5 inches tall, thin to make sure they are still the desired length apart. (The plants you remove can be transplanted elsewhere in your garden.)
- Fertilize 3 weeks after transplanting.
- Keep soil moist with mulch and water 2 inches per week.
- Start cabbage seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last spring frost.
- See frost dates for your area here.
- Harden off plants over the course of a week.
- To prepare soil, till in aged manure or compost.
- Transplant outdoors 2 to 3 weeks before the last expected frost date. Choose a cloudy afternoon.
- Plant 12 to 24 inches apart in rows, depending on size of head desired. The closer you plant, the smaller the heads.
- Mulch thickly to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.
- Practice crop rotation with cabbage year to year to avoid a build-up of soil borne diseases.
- Although broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage are closely related, cabbage will not tolerate them. Also avoid proximity to strawberries and tomatoes.
- Cabbage can be grown near beans and cucumbers.

Quartely report
The twenties saw the appearance of the design.
An industrialization era was born sporting mass-produced furniture.
Interior decoration takes the lead introducing furniture made of noble material.
RUHLEMANN and CHAREAU stand out under the influence of J.HOFFMANN.
In the thirties, cubic geometrization enters the arena. People discover pieces of furniture made of metal and leather born of the avant-garde movement.
LE CORBUSIER (Charles Edouard JEANNERET) makes a breakthrough with C.PERRIAND, accompanied by E.GRAY, himself a fan of C.R.MACKINTOSH' work, an artist contemporary of F.L.WRIGHT.
At the same period, we can't ignore G.RIETVELD, R.MALLET STEVENS, L.MIES van der ROHE, M.BREUER, BERTOIA, C.EAMES, R.HERBST, J.M FRANK, W.WAGENFELD and J.ADNET!
New materials such as moulded plastic and rubber make their appearance.
Soon after the war, in the fifties, moulding techniques favour functional moulded furniture and limited series furniture arrive on the market: A.JACOBSEN and E.SAARINEN.
This announces a complete break-up with conventional shapes.
The masters of the fifties and sixties were G.AULENTI, CASTIGLIONI , MAGISTRETTI, E.MARI, R.ARAD and V.PANTON.
In the eighties, a radical form of design appears, initiated by Italian groups such as the MENPHIS group founded by E.SOTTSASS and M.THUN trying for a rebirth of modernism by mixing different 20th century styles, colours and materials.
F.ALBINI, G.PESCE, D.BELLINI, G.PONTI, J.COLOMBO and KURAMATA are the main architects of this explosion of design.
Other creators such as GAROUSTE, BONNETTI, STARK, SZEKELY and WILMOTTE start emerging and make themselves known globally.
They have all opened an essential door for us and we are still today following their example!
Their creations still remain a safe choice!
A frame, a painting or a mirror must absolutely be located at eye level, an unavoidable rule. Here are a few solutions!
Picture rails
What could be more convenient? Indeed, once the rail is fixed, you can organize your decoration just as you want. No nail or screw, you can move things around as you wish.
Don't hesitate to cover the whole length of the wall with the rail.
To hang your pictures, I would suggest you to buy some steel cable (which can carry up to 20kg). You will also easily find websites allowing you to add LEDs or halogens to light up your treasures.
You should imperatively remain consistent in your choices of rails.
You can also find picture rail shelves to embellish a corridor and break up its length. They are fitted with a slight ledge preventing the pictures from sliding. As you wish, you can place there your pictures, photos, or other, and regularly change them, without drilling a hole or driving a screw.
Big, small, they come in all sizes and shapes. Think of small easels on a chest of drawer, for example, or else among your books on a bookshelf.
The mirror
Don't hesitate to add a nail or a rail above your mirror. A picture hung with a cord, a chain or a cable will cut a great figure.
And if you really can't resist drilling a hole, then prefer X-hooks. They come in different sizes, the biggest ones very easily supporting very big picture frames without any damage.
Another solution would simply be to place your paintings on furniture or books. If they are too imposing, just stand them on the floor along the wall. Which can become a true decoration choice.
Mix them, big ones, small ones, round ones, square ones, etc (same thing with mirrors). 16th century paintings will perfectly match contemporary artists work.
You must also accept that the arrival of a new picture might completely upset your current composition!
Bénédicte Leymonerie
Born in Paris, Bénédicte Leymonerie has studied at the Ecole des Beaux Arts of Lyon. She has been regularly painting and exhibiting her work since her arrival in Dubai in 2000.
Bénédicte likes working with her hands, using oil and stucco.
When she uses a knife, it is often to uncover for our greatest delight the different colours accumulated under the canvas.
Don't hesitate to follow her !
Last article on www.dubaimadame.com
In the seventies, in our homes, contemporary art got mixed with antiquities.
Charm and elegance, all of it is still just as topical as ever.


text: I did a git pull today of IronLanguages\main, and noticed a giant stack of changes on December 30, 31 and Jan 1 - which look like they're related to Win8 and Mango, amongst other things. I'm trying to build the IronRuby installer - the process also builds the IronPython installer along with it. It ( msbuild /p:Configuration=Release Installer.proj ) now fails with several errors: 1 - IronRubyTools.dll fails to build. It complains about "A reference was created to embedded interop assembly '..........\VSLangProj.dll' - I fixed this by setting Embed Interop Types = false on that reference (what happened to break this??) 2 - The build now fails because it couldn't find silverlight 4 dll's, whereas it used to work (did it used to reference silverlight 3 which ships with VS2010??). - I fixed the error by installing the silverlight 4 SDK 3 - Two proj files have gone missing: c:\Dev\ironlanguages-main\Msi\Installer.proj(23,9): error MSB3202: The project file "Python\Chm\IronPython.Chm.proj" was not found. c:\Dev\ironlanguages-main\Msi\Installer.proj(23,9): error MSB3202: The project file "Python\Msi\IronPython.Msi.wproj" was not found. It seems these have vanished?? I tried to work around this by manually building only Ruby\Msi\IronRuby.Msi.wproj 4 - This now fails with c:\Dev\ironlanguages-main\Msi\Ruby\Msi\Silverlight.wxi(14): error CNDL0150: Undefined preprocessor variable '$(var.OutputPath)'. [c:\Dev\ironlanguages-main\Msi\Ruby\Msi\IronRuby.Msi.wproj] It looks like that Wxi file hasn't changed recently, so presumably something else is ruining the outpath? - I fixed this by editing IronRuby.wxs and removing all mention of silverlight... This is fine for me, as I don't want to go near silverlight, but others may require a better solution :-) 5 - Now there's a bunch of errors all like this: c:\Dev\ironlanguages-main\Msi\Ruby\Msi\IronRuby.wxs(92): error LGHT1055: The InstallExecuteSequence table contains an action 'NetFxScheduleNativeImage' which cannot be merged from the merge module 'c:\Dev\ironlanguages-main\bin\Release\ \IrbRedist.msm'. This action is likely colliding with an action in the database that is being created. The colliding action may have been authored in the database or merged in from another merge module. If this is a standard action, it is likely colliding due to a difference in the condition for the action in the database and merge module. If this is a custom action, it should only be declared in the database or one merge module. [c:\Dev\ironlanguages-main\Msi\Ruby\Ms i\IronRuby.Msi.wproj] This is where I give up.. The giant stack of changes mostly came from Tomas Matousek / JDHardy / couple of other IronPython devs... Would one of those people mind please having a look at this?

Many Americans are fed up with the banking industry. However, we still need accounts that will provide us with the means to pay our bills, cash our checks and grow our money for when we need it the most. Some have turned to pre-paid cash cards, available through major retailers and credit card companies, but those cards really can't provide the same services that we have come to expect from a traditional banking experience. Credit unions are the best solution for those who are sick and tired of the same old issues and problems experienced at their local and national banks. In addition to providing checking, saving, loans and investment opportunities, you will find that most credit unions offer additional perks that you might not have known exist.
Join St Anne Credit Union in New Bedford
You may be surprised that St Anne Credit Union is the oldest credit union in all of Southeastern Massachusetts, established on August 3, 1911. It proudly serves over 3,100 members and boasts over $18,000,000.00 in assets. Like other credit unions, St Anne Credit Union is member-owned and is also a non-profit financial organization. Each credit union has its own criteria for membership, such as working in a specific industry or for a certain government agency, however St Anne Credit Union serves members who work or live in Bristol and Plymouth counties in Massachusetts.
Opportunities for credit union online banking provide 24 hour-a-day access to all of your accounts in one place. Free electronic statements for eligible checking and savings accounts are available, as well as access to ATMs throughout the local region. Joining a credit union doesn't make you a customer or a client, as you would be at a traditional banking institution. Joining a credit union makes you a member, a shareholder in St Anne Credit Union, which gives you a say in how things are run. Members elect the Board of Directors and receive a share of profits through various dividends, such as interest rates savings and reduced fees.
Other Perks of Membership
In addition to having a completely different relationship with your financial institution when you join St Anne Credit Union in New Bedford, you also gain unique opportunities that are rarely found outside of a credit union setting. Christmas Club savings accounts help you to set aside money specifically for holiday shopping, helping you to be debt-free and rely less on high interest rate credit cards through other organizations. Revenues are shared by the members, with the net revenue gained being returned to members through higher dividend rates, enhanced services, lower loan rates and interest rates savings, as well as other opportunities.
The goal is to help members put their money to work for them, by offering member education about financial matters, through the offering of credit union online banking to monitor accounts, and by providing various methods and tools to help them grow their money. The more informed a consumer is about financial matters, the better they will be able to take control of their financial status. From basic budgeting to wide-range financial planning, members who join St Anne Credit Union in New Bedford are invited to work with representatives to find solutions and make better decisions based upon their unique needs.
Some other benefits of membership include:
- opportunity to obtain new and used auto loans with low to no down payment
- ability to borrow between $500-10,000 for 1-4 year terms via personal loans
- home equity loans and equity lines of credit up to $125,000 and up to 75 percent of the value of the property minus the first mortgage for periods of 5-15 years
- fixed rate mortgages ranging between 5-30 years
- savings, checking and Christmas Club savings account opportunities
- certificate of deposit and money market deposit accounts
- IRA Share account for retirement with just a $500 minimum balance
Visit St Anne Credit Union for Details
This is just an overview of the benefits and perks associated with deciding to join St Anne Credit Union in New Bedford. Come visit our location on Union Street to speak with one of our representatives to learn more about how to become a member and for details about credit union online banking opportunities, opening up a Christmas Club savings account, and to hear about current interest rate options and interest rates savings for our members. You can also give us a call at 508-993-0011.

What To Expect
As You Walk In...
Our desire at First Pres is to create a place where all people, from all walks of life, can feel as though they have a place to come home to. However, we understand how uncomfortable it can be when you are a visitor. Therefore, the following information is for you to have more of an understanding of who First Pres is, and what we do as a congregation called together in worship.
For Adults
As you enter in, you will see a few people in suits, some in blue jeans, but most will simply have on a nice shirt and slacks. There is a bulletin distributed that shows the plan for worship and tells you what is in the week ahead. Before we begin worship, there is usually a brief time for people to greet one another. Our people are friendly.
For Children
Children are welcome in our worship services and they often participate. When children attend services with their families, they see worship in action. As they participate in worship, they absorb scripture, learn the truths of the church, and follow the example of those around them. Our pastor and people enjoy children being in worship.
Activity Bags
Each Sunday, we provide activity bags with coloring materials for children's use during worship services. Help yourself to a bag from the rack in the narthex just outside the sanctuary.
Children's Church
After hearing the scripture and children's message (children's time) in the worship service, elementary-aged children through grade 3 may proceed upstairs for children's church, where they do hands-on activities (during the sermon and conclusion of the worship service). They have fun. We often have special surprises for them.
Our adult nursery caregiver has a degree in child education and has a heart for children. Caring and friendly nursery care is available for children who are too young to participate in children's church. Childcare is also available during most other church programs.

{SPOILER ALERT: Our quiz is armed with a free doughnut! Take at your own risk ;)}
For centuries, doughnuts have been a cornerstone of breakfast happiness for many people. Whether it's a birthday breakfast, business meeting, or any occasion special to ones heart, doughnuts ignite a sincere joy in people. The taste, the smell, the appearance; all of these key components make up the delight of a doughnut. On top of those components lie the memories that one associates with doughnuts and the glee that they bring.
In our day in age where everyone is taking everything to the "next level," we sometimes crave something that is classic, pure and just how we remember it being years ago. Thanks to Pastry Chef, Nick Stewart, we can enjoy all the things we love about doughnuts; the new, the old, the classic and the eccentric.
With locations in Fulton Market, Wicker Park, Lincoln Park, Streeterville, and River North, Glazed and Infused delivers a classic American, artisan doughnut shop experience. The mission of Glazed and Infused is simple- to make people happy, which is exactly what Francesca's Restaurant Group founder Scott Harris set out to do, and from our eyes, is doing a great job.
With flavors like the Old Fashioned doughnut, to a Red Velvet doughnut, the variety doesn't stop there. Glazed and Infused also hosts a variety of seasonal doughnuts including (until the end of Sept.) a Blueberry-Lemon Glazed doughnut. Although the Blueberry-Lemon is heading out of there soon, they are about to welcome a new variety of Fall inspired doughnuts including some pumpkin flavored ones- who doesn't love pumpkin flavor?!
Adults, tell me, do you eat your doughnut without coffee? Didn't think so! A beautiful partnership between Glazed and Infused and Sparrow Coffee has recently brewed. Sparrow Coffee has created a signature, single-origin coffee–all sourced from one farm in Kenya to accommodate your coffee cravings.
"Paying homage to the doughnut's start during World War II, Glazed and Infused décor features recreated memorabilia such as vintage wartime posters and Rosie the Riveter with a Glazed and Infused tattoo. While each location offers the same delicious menu and a friendly staff of doughnut devotees, individual shops reflect the needs of the surrounding neighborhoods. The Wicker Park location offers a grab-and-go window to service the busy Six Corners' intersection while Lincoln Park families can utilize the private event space of the Glazed and Infused tucked among the boutique shops along Armitage."
Don't forget Glazed and Infused for all of your catering needs including mini doughnut trays, fondue party platters, doughnut holes, and jumbo doughnuts for special occasions and events.
Make sure to check out our quiz to find out which Glazed and Infused doughnut you are, and to get the password for a FREE doughnut! {hint: the password will be at the bottom of your answer}

The city of Ayutthaya was once the spectacular capital of the Kingdom of Ayutthaya. Established in 1351 by King U Thong, the Kingdom of Ayutthaya grew into one of the largest and wealthiest kingdoms in Southeast Asia, trading heavily with such diverse nations as Vietnam, China, Japan, India, Portugal and the Netherlands. The Kingdom came to a violent end with the sacking of Ayutthaya by the Burmese in 1767.
Today Ayutthaya is a peaceful town just a few hours from Bangkok, full of crumbling temples that still bear the mark of the devastation inflicted almost four centuries ago. Most of the Buddha statues are missing their heads, and the ruins only hint at the vast temple complexes that used to exist.
It was easy to spend a whole day wandering around, exploring the grounds, poking our heads into the temples, and taking (of course) hundreds of photos. And it's always fun watching the monks being tourists.
The modern city of Ayutthaya was built around and above the ancient one, and the wide leafy streets, sparse traffic and relatively compact size of the city make it the perfect place to explore by bicycle (although Dave maintains that he would always prefer to scoot scoot scoot).
And when you need a break from all those temples, what else would you do than ride your bike on over to the local shooting range?
|Oh, excuse me, I meant "to the local shootting range"
All of our Ayutthaya photos are available here.

Chicago Public Schools have been told to disregard an earlier order to remove Marjane Satrapi's acclaimed 2000 graphic novel Persepolis. Instead, the Chicago Tribune reports, CEO Barbara Byrd-Bennett has asked that the autobiography no longer be taught to seventh-graders. It will, however, remain in libraries.
Word of the initial order spread quickly following the removal of copies of the book Wednesday afternoon from Lane Tech College Prep, one of the largest schools in the city. The move sparked outcry from teachers, parents and students, who had organized a protest for later this afternoon.
Although Persepolis in included in the district's curriculum for seventh-graders, Byrd-Bennett said in a letter sent to principals this morning that it may not be appropriate for that age group. According to the Tribune, the district released images from the graphic novel depicting a man being whipped, burned with an iron and urinated on.
Depicting Satrapi's experience is a child and young adult in Iran during the Islamic revolution, Persepolis has received almost universal acclaim. The 2007 animated adaptation directed by Satrapi and Vincent Paronnaud was nominated for an Academy Award.
After directing principals to have seventh-grade teachers remove the book from their classroom, Byrd-Bennett said that "due to the powerful images of torture," she has asked the Office of Teaching & Learning to develop guidelines so educators "can be trained to present this strong but important content." The district will also decide whether, "after appropriate teacher training," Persepolis should be included in the curriculum for grades eight through 10.
"These are not photos of torture. It's a drawing and it's one frame," Satrapi told the newspaper. "I don't think American kids of seventh grade have not seen any signs of violence. Seventh-graders have brains and they see all kinds of things on cinema and the Internet. It's a black and white drawing and I'm not showing something extremely horrible. That's a false argument. They have to give a better explanation."A CPS spokeswoman told the newspaper the initial directive was sent by district staff following concerns raised by teachers at Austin-North Lawndale, but it didn't reflect the intent of the administration.
"The message got lost in translation, but the bottom line is, we never sent out a directive to ban the book," spokeswoman Becky Carrolll told the Tribune. "We want to make sure there's an appropriate way to teach it to students given the graphic nature of the novel. [...] We're not saying remove these from buildings altogether."
UPDATE: Chicago Public Schools has provided ROBOT 6 with the full text of Byrd-Bennett's letter to principals:
I am writing to clarify an email you received from Network Chiefs earlier this week about the graphic novel, Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi. First, let me be clear – we are not banning this book from our schools.
Persepolis is included as a selection in the Literacy Content Framework for seventh grade. It was brought to our attention that it contains graphic language and images that are not appropriate for general use in the seventh grade curriculum. If your seventh grade teachers have not yet taught this book, please ask them not to do so and to remove any copies of the book from their classrooms.
We have determined Persepolis may be appropriate for junior and senior students and those in Advance Placement classes. Due to the powerful images of torture in the book, I have asked our Office of Teaching & Learning to develop professional development guidelines, so that teachers can be trained to present this strong, but important content. We are also considering whether the book should be included, after appropriate teacher training, in the curriculum of eighth through tenth grades. Once this curricular determination has been made, we will notify you.
Also, please be reminded that central school library collections are governed by the New Collection Development Policy For School Libraries. We are not requesting that you remove Persepolis from your central school library. Therefore do not remove this book or any other book from the central school library, unless you have complied with the policy.
Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you and your staff.

Zack Giffin, co-host of FYI network's "Tiny House Nation", has added yet another OMG notch in his teeny home tool belt — home energy efficiency using plastics. Yes, plastics! The challenge for Giffin was to create the ultimate mini-mansion using innovative plastics technology that would reduce our environmental footprint. So, he partnered with Plastics Make It Possible to create a 200-square foot beacon of home energy efficiency using advanced building materials derived from plastics. "We have a small planet and we have a finite amount of resources", said Giffin. "The deck, that's all recycled building material. It's got vinyl siding. We've got PVC trim. The door is actually recycled plastic. Rubber combination plastic flooring. Solar shingles on the roof that are made out of plastics. We're using exterior foam insulation that goes a long way in terms of making this house more energy efficient," added Giffin.
Not only was Giffin able to construct an energy efficient, environmentally friendly home, the petite plastic palace is intelligently designed, inside and out. True to his tiny house style, Giffin's design included energy efficient appliances, exposed beams, and plenty of windows and open space. The balance of nature and down-home furnishings in this home are second only to the energy efficient housing system that Giffin constructed. "When I'm thinking about a tiny house I'm thinking about it as a system," noted Giffin. "The main key is intelligent design. Everything has to work together. The solar panels work in conjunction with insulation as well as the insulation working in conjunction with the energy-star appliances." From insulation to the barn-red vinyl siding, this weeny home is big on energy efficiency, thanks in part to super smart plastics.
For Giffin, the challenge of building an energy efficient tiny home by re-thinking the sustainability and environmental benefits of plastics was just the beginning of the journey. Creating a thoughtful blend of man and nature and exploring the open road in the creation, that is what the project was really all about. "To me, it's going out into these amazing places that brings it home and makes it so apparent why we need to fight for this planet," said Giffin. "Nothing in this world is going to change without the cooperation of the very large entities. All the manufacturers of the all the building materials, it's up to them to really start thinking about it. Fortunately, we have a lot of manufacturers who are paying attention. Plastics does make it possible and it's going to be a big piece of energy efficiency now and in the future." And, thanks to innovative partnerships between environmentally cool builders like Giffin and manufacturers who are dedicated to creating sustainable building materials, the plastics that built a tiny home today may be the foundation for larger eco-friendly construction tomorrow.

A Localvore is a person dedicated to eating food grown and produced locally. Many localvore organizations (known as Pods) have sprung up in communities across Vermont. Localvore pods are inspiring their communities to chose local foods, and supporting their local farmers: creating demand for the delicious food grown in Vermont.
NOFA VT resources for eating locally
Click here to read a great article about Red Hen Baking Company's all-Vermont bread, "Cyrus Pringle," made exclusively with grain from Vermont and named after the legendary UVM wheat breeder (article from Vermont's Local Banquet).
NOFA Bakers Panel News
By Julie Sperling & Doug Freilich of Naga Bakehouse
Red Hen Bakery, Naga Bakehouse, and La Meaunerie Milanaise presented "From Field To Hearth" at the 2009 NOFA Winter Conference. The panel discussed what characteristics make some wheat more suitable for baking high quality bread and to what degree can these characteristics be controlled by farmers and millers? The focus of the panel looked at what we can do to work toward producing high quality bread wheat locally?
The presenters stated, when it comes to local grain growing and consumption, there is an abundance of enthusiasm on the part of many consumers and farmers. But there is a real lack of knowledge when it comes to all the things (on both the growing and milling ends) that must go just right if the resulting flour is going to be suitable for making bread. Lately, there has been a greater push on the part of farmers to start producing wheat suitable for making bread.
Last Fall, a group of farmers and bakers were assembled by the UVM Extension Service for a trip to a mill outside of Montreal to learn about their milling operation and the close relationships they have with the farmers that grow for them. It was eye-opening for all in attendance—whether they were involved in farming, milling, or baking– to see what elements are required in producing high quality wheat.
The panel suggested that we need to continue to educate farmers, millers, and bakers about quality criteria and ways of achieving them if we are ever going to see a real increase in usage of locally grown wheat.
There was lively discussion about the importance of field research, bakers trials, agronomy, technology transfer, and the use of falling number and early harvest techniques to safeguard the quality of wheat.
There was great emphasis on reuniting farmers and bakers to bring about a sense of mutual comprehension of the challenges facing wheat production. Specifically, that farmers need to understand the millers and bakers problems associated with poor wheat quality, and bakers need to understand that farmers do not control Mother Nature.
This dialogue between bakers, millers, and farmers is the first step to increase the farmers awareness of the impact of their growing methods on the bread making process and to sensitize bakers and millers to the fact that wheat is alive and changes each season under different environmental conditions.
In conclusion there was a keen desire on the part of bakers and growers to investigate the use of new varieties of locally grown wheat offering enhanced flavors, pronounced colors and the decreased environmental pressure with reduced transport cost associated with local grain production.

H.B. & Hw.
Bible Sunday
You notice we stand to greet the Gospel. You
notice we greet the Gospel with Alleluias.
When we have enough servers we attend the
book with lights. We honour the book with
incense. The reading from the Bible is
announced. Everyone says, "Glory to you,
Lord." And when it is finished we say, "Praise
to you, Lord Jesus Christ." It is as if Christ has
been present in the reading and spoken in
person. The kiss which the reader gives to the
book is a mark of respect and affection which is
not even given to the Eucharist. Clearly what
the whole ceremony emphasises is the
sacredness of the Bible, the whole Bible. It is
one book, and all of it is the word of God.
The word today is of harmony and peace - the
young calf and baby lion feeding together with a
little boy to lead them, while the cow and bear
make friends.
We accept the imagery as
beautiful poetry but hesitate over the implied
reality, except that this harmony and peace is
of Christ. Paul sees a unity in the whole
economy of God's saving actions which have
been performed for all. Whether one is a Jew
or a Gentile now no longer matters. What is
crucial is that people should treat one another in
a Christ-like manner, accepting difference but
doing everything to avoid splintering into
dividing factions
Let's face it, we splinter and we divide all day
and everyday. It is the way we have been
nurtured and educated, in a culture which always
divides the field and knows no other. It is
always 'either or' with us, never 'both and'. So
it is them and us, black and white, Muslim
Christian, Catholic and Protestant. We even run
our country on opposition politics and believe it
to be an enlightened way of going on. Our
everyday lives are littered with division,
difference and divorce.
You name it we will divide it because we are
dualistic thinkers, all of us. We even divide the
indivisible. And it is like splitting the atom.
Its effects radiate everywhere and for ever.
Speaking of which, atomic weapons are not the
threat. Our dualistic thinking is the threat and
leads to the use of such. And we shoot and we
bomb and we slay and we slaughter, sometimes
with bullets and high explosive, sometimes with
our thoughts, words and deeds. That is us,
controlling, protecting, managing and
manipulating and for ever dividing, all for the
sake of a false self, national, international or
So in the light of the Gospel we make for the
exit. We get out of the dualistic mind. We get
out of the false self and make for the way of the
Lord, the direct route to salvation for all. We
get out of the way and let God teach us the unity
of all his works, the unity of all persons, the
unity all places, the unity of all things. We no
longer divide the field. Then we do no hurt, no
harm, for the country is filled with the
knowledge of the Lord as the waters swell the
sea. This is the word of the Lord, who is
harmony and peace, the Infinite Being and very God.

Zombi 4 - After Death
I'm kinda partial to zombie flicks so my views on them should be taken with that in mind. For some, a film like Nightmare City would be considered absolute crap, while I had great fun with it, and the same can be said for everything from Burial Ground: Nights of Terror, Hell of the Living Dead, and Claudio Fragasso's silly (unintentional) laugh a minute gore-fest After Death.
A group of boaters and a trio of explorers are trapped on an island where, years before, it's entire population fell victim to some sort of voodoo curse that turned people into bloodthirsty savages. Jenny (Daly) had lived here as a child, witnessing the carnage firsthand. Armed with a small protective idol, given to her by her mother before the zombies killed her, Jenny is the group's only chance for survival as the survivors fight to stay alive until Jenny can close the door to hell.
Released as Zombie 4 by Shriek Show, After Death has little to do with Argento/Romero's Zombi, or even Fulci's Zombi 2, but actually has a lot more in common with Argento's Lamberto Bava collaboration Demons, in which, for some reason or another, regular folk begin running around and chomping up the neighborhood and drooling goo. After Death has the same sort of antagonists right down to the green phlegm and crazy facial features, as well as the ability to speak, run, and fight like Bruce Lee. I love how the horror genre gives critters like vampires and demons inate martial arts skills, as though Karate were something taught in the ninth circle of hell, and Fragasso's "zombies" are absolute badasses when it comes to fisticuffs. These guys drop from trees with the stealth of ninjas, fight with swords, sticks, and machine guns with deadly proficiency, and even find time to pose for a quick drool shot just to let their potential victims know that things are gonna get messy. While looking for any semblence of logic in an Italian zombie flick is as futile as telling a cat not to piss in your laundry basket, I still had to wonder why these high octane uber-zombies would occasionally revert to clumsily shambling about like Romero-type dead guys when they got close enough to inflict serious damage on our alleged heroes, but I guess even the dead need to rest. I also have to point out the inconsistancy of the zombies' look. Some have that Fulci ultra-decomposed thing going on, while others look like vampires, and others still look like extras from a Warrant video. This would make some sort of sense if the FX guys had the newly dead look, well, newly dead, but most of them pop up again looking like a plum left out in the sun while long dead zombies burst from the ground with a radiant glow and perfect hair. Once again, I have to stress that logic is not this genres strong suit.
The FX work on After Death is actually quite good, with some very graphic and gorey scenes that are amongst the best I've seen from this genre. Fragasso, who wrote Zombi 3, proves to be a pretty stylish director, with a flair for the fog machine and colored lights that pretty much define late 80's Euro-Shock flicks. While porn star Stryker and pretty nice gal Daly are strictly community theater level actors, the real reason we tune in to these flicks is to see how gruesomely bad actors can die, and Fragasso doesn't dissappoint.
The DVD from Shriek Show is presented in a flawless widescreen transfer that is very colorful and vibrant. The disc features some interview material with Fragasso, Stryker and Daly, as well as trailers and a gallery of images from the film's production and marketing.
It's tough to recommend After Death as anything more than a guilty pleasure, but Zombie flick fanatics will find much to enjoy here, and for them this film rates an easy 4 skulls, however fans of "intelligent" horror, tread cautiously because there's not a whole lot here to sink your teeth into.

Maine Governor Paul LePage Holds Town Hall in Auburn (VIDEOS)
From an earlier media advisory:
Governor Paul R. LePage has announced he will hold his next town hall meeting on Wednesday, October 21 in Auburn where he will deliver remarks about moving Maine forward and answer questions from residents.
Central Maine Community College in Auburn will host the town hall from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. The meeting is open to the public and will be held in Kirk Hall.
The town hall meeting will focus on the Governor's vision for Maine, including further reducing the income tax; reforming welfare by strengthening the State's safety net for the most vulnerable; cutting energy costs; and addressing Maine's high student debt burden.
Here is video of the entire discussion.
One moment, however, has garnered the most attention both locally and nationally- a quick joke made by LePage… part of a throwaway line as he was laying out in depth his opposition to Maine's upcoming Question 1 regarding public monies and election finance reforms:
Some of the news stories with reactions are linked below.
- WGME: Gov. LePage's checkbook joke falls flat with women
- Huffington Post Politics: Maine Gov. Paul LePage Suggests Women Can't Be Trusted With Money
- Raw Story: Gov. Paul LePage: Public campaign financing is 'like giving your wife your checkbook'
- Daily Kos: The governor of Maine delivered a sexist comment straight out of the 1950s
- Maine Beacon: Gov. LePage says public campaign financing like "giving your wife your checkbook"
No word as to when the governor next intends to hold another town hall meeting; per his staff, LePage is travelling overseas next week.

As many actresses, Cameron Diaz has started her career from modelling business. But after, she has chosen cinematography. Few years ago, Cam has tried herself in another area: the actress wrote a book about a healthy life style and correct thinking. The book with the name "The Body Book: The Law of Hunger, the Science of Strength, and Other Ways to Love Your Amazing Body", dedicated to the personal love, correct nutrition and spiritual development became a bestseller. It inspired Cameron so much that she decided to wrote another book.
The actress will tell again how to find the harmony with the surrounding world and maintain the beauty of the body and soul for long time. The book that will receive the name "The Longevity Book", will appear in bookstore shelves next year. The most interesting is that the cover of the book can contain the picture of each of us!
The actress announced a competition on Instagram: she is waiting for selfie pictures from readers. The pictures can be sent on the email address [email protected] with the tag #TheLongevityBook. The actress will select 50 beauties and on November 20 will reveal their names. The girls will not only appear on the cover but will also receive an exclusive book sample with a signature.
"It is centered around the mental, physical and emotional journey of aging. And as we diligently put the finishing touches on the book, we'd like to ask for your help once more. This book is for you and about you and that's why we'd like to see you on the cover. Much like the cover of the Body Book, under the jacket, were we featured women of all different shapes, sizes, builds and ethnicities", wrote Diaz.

Amazing Volunteer Opportunities All Over The World
Not all volunteer opportunities have to feel like work. You can do something invigorating and exciting while using your time to help others. To get you started, we've compiled some of the coolest offbeat volunteer positions in your own backyard and around the world.
Every community is full of small but important nonprofits and charities with the same needs as large ones. Many organizations need volunteers to run their Facebook, Twitter, and other social media accounts. If you're an Internet whiz who enjoys engaging with others and writing snappy status updates, find a small organization near you that can use your help.
If you love the arts, you'll find several options that include a free performance or other perks. Check with local theaters that may need ushers or box office help. Film festivals use volunteers for everything, including line control and transportation, and often offer off-duty volunteers free entry to showings. Museums love having knowledgeable docents to walk visitors around. Even if you're not an expert, many museums offer training and other incentives.
Animal lovers have a host of opportunities with humane societies and rescue organizations, but you can also help out through animal therapy programs for the disabled. Horseback riding in particular is gaining popularity, and groups like We Can Ride have positions for experienced horse lovers and newcomers alike.
If you live somewhere fascinating but never get to see the sights, consider working with hostels to act as a tour guide for visitors. It's a great way to do something fun and make new friends while getting to know your area better.
More and more people want to scrap the typical vacation in favor of something more compassionate. "Voluntourism" volunteer opportunities turn your trip into something memorable and life-changing.
Go wild with a group like The Great Projects, which works to help animals across four continents. Travel to Botswana and assist in conservation efforts with lions and other big cats on a trip that also includes farm work. Other options include an orangutan project in Malaysia, a wildlife rescue in Bolivia, or a bear sanctuary in Romania. They even have excursions that are perfect for families.
If you love the beach but don't just want to sit around, look for an organization such as the Oceanic Society, which sends volunteers on vacations to destinations like Belize to help sea turtles, coral reefs, and more.
Looking to get active? Climb to great heights with RadiatingHope, an organization that raises money for cancer treatment by climbing the world's highest peaks. Last year they climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, and they take new climbers as long as you're willing to train.
Whether you choose a trip across the globe or find someone who needs help close to home, fascinating volunteer opportunities are all around you.

I tried to keep it realistic, discussing issues such as derivatives regulation, capital requirements, and leverage.
However, I kept wistfully thinking about the real fixes that were needed — the things that I would do if I had unlimited power (trust me, that's something you don't want to see). I avoided (or only mentioned in passing) these politically impossible fixes.
But that doesn't mean we can't put them in a wish list . . .
1. Investment Houses Partnerships: Goldman, Morgan Stanley, Merrill Lynch — turn them back into partnerships. That means the partners all have unlimited joint and several — meaning personal — liability for any losses.
2. Public Track Records of Pundits: I was astonished to see the same terrible advice on the TV during the entire market collapse. The spokesperson for a trillion dollar firm recommended buying the dip — the whole way down! Buy Dow 14k, buy 13k, buy buy buy at 12, 11, 10. All the way down. But there was never any mention of the prior horrific calls.
My impossible solution? Mandate that all TV and radio stations reveal the most recent appearance forecast, stock picks, and commentary.
3. Return to the Specialist System: The Nasdaq-afication of the NYSE turned out to be a terrible mistake. We want human specialists matching orders, making a market, stepping in during a collapse.
4. Encourage More Short Selling: Just about every major scandal of the past 2 decades has been uncovered by shorts. The Uptick rule is fine, but all of the other limitations on short selling are counter-productive.
5. Outlaw Bank/Investing Firm Lobbying: At the very least, the TARP money should have come with a 2 year moratorium. In the future, I would like to see extreme constraints on lobbying dollars – (Hey, I told you it was a wish list).
6. Campaign Finance Reform: We used to call the purchase of politicians' votes graft. Today, it is called campaign donations. The corrupting influence of money in politics has led America to a very sorry political state. The solution is a constitutional amendment for public financing of elections — to get the corrupting influnce of money out of DC.
7. Not-For-Profit Exchanges: The exchanges have foregone the individual investor. Instead, they are chasing fees from high frequency traders and hedge funds.
8. Decimalization: Give up the decimals, and return to fractions. This would allow investment houses trading desks to earn a decent profit. And that might reduce their need for reckless speculation.
9. Corporate Whistle Blowers Fund: A legitimate incentive to discover and blow the whistle on various companies. The IRS does this — a percentage of any fines and recovery get paid to the person who discovered the wrongdoing.
These are the effective things that a benevolent dictator/philosopher king could easily implement, but in our messy, corrupted democracy, they don't stand a chance . . .

Publisher Description
Pages Gone By is more than just Erin, Ohio's only used book store. It's also a favorite meeting place for writers and readers. And early one morning, it becomes the scene of a murder when a body is found in the romance section. Is the steamy novel, Love's Dark Secret, clutched in the victim's handa clue to the killer? Or is it more significant that the murder weapon was a statue of the iconic Maltese Falcon of film noir fame? As polymath mystery writer Sebastian McCabe and sardonic sidekick Jeff Cody try to unmask the murderer of a friend, they get more help than they need from a talk show psychologist and a group of would-be mystery writers with more imagination than deductive skills. But only they know that one suspect has big secrets to hide – secrets that Mac and Jeff hope don't have to be revealed. An homage to the Golden Age of detective fiction, the witty and suspense Bookmarked for Murder once again shows why novelist and screenwriter Bonnie MacBird called Dan Andriacco "a master of mystery plotting."

TONIGHT was the Annual General Meeting of Aberystwyth Student Media, who came together to elect a new committee going into the 2016/2017 academic year. There were 12 positions being contested on the evening by 18 candidates, notably four of whom were in direct contest for the position of Arts Editor.

Watching a new generation of ASM'ers give their speeches, tell us how they wanted to do things and bring everything they could to the society was so good to see, it made a hard year's work all the more worth while. The best of luck for everyone going forward into next year, I'm sure you'll to brilliantly and I can't wait to work with you all for the next month!

DPS907 notes – Tue Dec 3
More about SOAP XML Web Services. Final exam info.
Attendance at today's class is optional. Your professor will discuss SOAP XML web services, the plans for the final exam, answer any questions you may have, and help you with programming tasks.
Final exam info
Written part, and a programming task. More details are on this linked page.
Web service design styles
There are two web service design styles in wide use today: web API, and SOAP XML. Their characteristics are summarized below, but feel free to learn more about each by starting with their Wikipedia articles, and then moving on to other authoritative learning resources.
The web API style is also known as:
- Web 2.0
- Hypermedia-driven web services
- REST (Representational State Transfer)
The SOAP XML style is also known as:
- Web services
- Big web services
- RPC (web services)
Web API
A web API faithfully follows the design intent of the web.
From a programmer's perspective, a web API is accessed at a single endpoint, known as a resource, via a URI. The data returned then guides the user/requestor to additional resources, via URIs.
All requests made to a web API use the HTTP-defined request methods, including GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, OPTIONS, HEAD, and maybe a few others.
The data format that passes between the caller/client and the server is negotiated (using the Accept and Content-Type request headers), but modern web APIs typically use JSON or a variant.
SOAP XML web services use XML messages that conform to the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP). While there are many "moving parts" to this style, Visual Studio tooling and the .NET Framework make it fairly easy to implement a simple SOAP XML web service.
From a programmer's point of view, a SOAP XML web service "server" is created as a single endpoint in a web app. Then, the programmer writes methods for this web service which can be called by remote callers.
In summary, a SOAP XML web service "server" is a single endpoint that exposes methods to callers.
When a method is called (by a remote caller), a SOAP message is posted (i.e. HTTP POST) to the endpoint. The SOAP message includes the name of the method to be called, and argument data if required. The "server" returns a SOAP message that includes the status/success result of the call, and typically return value data.
What is WCF in Visual Studio and the .NET Framework?
Microsoft's Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) is a unified API for building service-oriented applications.
WCF can also be considered an identity or marketing name for the namespaces and classes in the .NET Framework that fulfill this role.
For us as programmers, the WCF prefix for a project or item means that we're creating a SOAP XML web service.

Game Of Thrones Season 4 Behind The Scenes. Spoilers.
If you haven't read the books and don't want to have any idea what is going on in this season then don't watch this. If you want to be teased with what is going on then take a look, but you may still be able to figure out certain things just from the flashes of scenes you'll see.

Son Of Batman Teaser Trailer.
This is supposed to be an adaptation of Grant Morrison's Batman and Son, but from the looks of it, all it is taking from it is the fact that Batman has a son. Everything else looks completely outside of the story where Talia basically gives Bruce his son, tells him he will one day replace Batman as well as head the Assassin's Guild. Bats then takes him to hopefully turn him towards a better path. Maybe this is actually the story and much of what you're seeing with Deathstroke is a ruse. 5 points to me for using the word ruse.

Office: 807-344-6460
Located on the western shores of Lake Superior, in a major Canadian grain port, the Thunder Bay plant with capacity of 125,000t is well situated to pull malting barley from the Eastern Canadian prairies. It ships malt via rail and truck to Eastern North America and can load malt directly onto vessels from its malt storage elevator.
Selection of all barley is carried out by CMC personnel. Barley quality specifications are established based on customer malt requirements. All incoming barley receivals are probed, and tested prior to unloading to ensure quality targets are met. Composite samples of each barley unload are kept for reference and are sent to a third party lab for testing. Barley is visually inspected for foreign material, damage and tested for sizing, Protein, moisture, germination.
Six row and two row barley is received by train at our Thunder Bay site. It is then cleaned using Westrup Cleaners and then a second pass through the superior Separators, and graded into various fractions using our Law Marot Graders.
Steeping at Thunder Bay is carried out in the 13 Steeping vessels per batch (B/C) 160 tonnes and 2 Steeping vessel (A) 72 tonnes.
The total time taken for steeping is 30-45 hours. A composite of each steep is tested for protein and moisture. Moisture content is checked throughout the steeping process using either NIR or moisture balance.
After germination the malt is transferred to the kilning stage of the process via a conveyance system. One batch is kilned in the upper floor of the kiln for approximately 18 hours.
After kilning the malt is put in to store. Thunder Bay has a total rated silo capacity for 60,000 tonnes. This diagram shows part of the routes available for product movement. 100% of the malt is transferred away as bulk.
Each batch has a composite sample collected as it is sent to storage noting the following attributes; sizing, friability, moisture, malt protein, wort protein, colour, viscosity, turbidity, alpha amylase, diastatic power, fine/coarse extract, betaglucan, pH and FAN using ASBC standard methods.

I'm finally with it, friends! My Volupties JULY 2017 delivery brought my panti-verse into sync. My booty size and my Volupties size are now ONE.
I couldn't be happier!
I ordered 3 pairs of 3X panties – Pictures, details & Flirt with Flavor Fit Rating below:
1 boy short
· The pattern and color of the material is beautiful. The lace is soft with a bit of give. This pair fit nicely!
1 hi cut
· I liked the look of the delicate lace inset over the hip bone area. The remaining material is a semi-silky feeling black knit with a fair amount of stretch. This pair is also a fit.
1 hipster
· Fabric feels silky, in a print mixing faded grey and pale aquamarine in an antique wallpaper/textile design. These are my favorite of the 3, as the fit was the best and the details are lovely!
JULY 2017 - FWF Fit Rating is 100% - 3 of 3 fit!
3 of 3 pairs knickers received with this Volupties delivery fit nicely, for a FWF Fit Rating of 100%. After a few off months (in terms of fit only) I found I had the wrong size chosen in my Volupties profile...so no wonder, right? No matter! Volupties made it quick and easy to update the size option and before I knew it, BAM! It's next month and I am once again delighted by this awesome service! Still one of my favs!

Kitchen gadgets for blind and low vision chefs
When I'm not thinking about food, writing about food, or eating food… I work for a major internet company that starts with the letter Y. I build web sites that are accessible to everyone, including the blind, deaf, and those with physical limitations.
I found this video about cooking with low vision on the Food Network. It's an interesting glimpse into how one person was able to gain independence via education and some ingenious gadgets.
Featured Products
The talking microwave
A notched knob guides the user to setting the cooking time and when you push a button on it, asks you to set the minutes and then the seconds.
Braille labels for the freezer
Three lines can be Brailled on each plastic label which has an elastic band to hold it around the can or freezer package.
Say When liquid level device
Just hang this on cup/glass lip and pour with complete assurance. Say When will sound to alert you when liquid level nears top.
Talking kitchen timer
This talking timer has three independent functions. It allows you to use, simultaneously or independently, the count-up timer, talking count-down timer and the talking clock.
Many devices and design patterns have been invented for the disabled only to find mass appreciation amongst the entire population.
Think of the raised buttons on your keyboard's j and f keys or the widely popular curb cutouts at street corners. While you may not be visually impaired today; some of these gadgets will also be great for the older population or those that multi-task in the kitchen.
Magnefying Aids has many other items available for the visually impaired.
