Wake Your Mind Radio, the new 'Start To Feel' album, a run of Beatport #1s & iTunes Top 10s, the launch of WYM Records, a coast-to-coast US Bus Tour and a trend-bucking jump up the DJ Mag Top 100… the last twelve months have been nothing but catalytic for Cosmic Gate.
As 2014, so 2015, and stage #1 of that begins today! In step with their WYM Radio show's first 50th milestone, Nic & Bossi unveil their new mix album concept. The proverbial triple threat, 'Wake Your Mind Sessions' seamlessly combines the highlights of their DJ sets and the WYM-Radio show and new music premiere platform as one.
Over its 33 tracks you'll find dance establishment like Above & Beyond, Gareth Emery & Arty sharing the mix with lesser-known Cosmic Gate influences like cult electronic music group GusGus. Future-heroes are in no short supply, with audio from ilan Bluestone, Genix, LTN, Steve Brian, Ost & Meyer, to name but a handful. Also debuting exclusively on the first 'Sessions' are new tracks from the guys themselves like 'Yai (Here We Go Again)', JES's vocal expansion of Cosmic Gate's 'Yai', Nic Chagall's 'This Time' and Steve Brian's upcoming rewire of 'Happyness'. There's also multi-genre remix work from the likes of Maceo Plex, Jerome Isma-Ae, Alexander Popov, Andrew Bennett and a host of others.
The best-of-the-best from their radio show, the 'Start To Feel' album & tours and the Wake You Mind Records label… it's all enshrined here, on 'WYM Sessions001'!
"A '360°' of what we do" says Nic Chagall. "That's the aim for these releases. Going forward, we feel that 'WYM Sessions' are going to be the centre-point of mixes we'll put together throughout the year. As such, they're the ones that must reflect, most explicitly, everything that Wake Your Mind Radio, WYM Records, Start To Feel and naturally Cosmic Gate stands for.
Bossi continues: "The selection process for this album is tough. We started with the mind-set that no track - whether it be ours or another artist's - should be 'a cert' for a 'Sessions' tracklist. Only through this rigorous selection approach do we feel we can achieve that goal of bringing a definitive all-round encapsulation.
CD 1 exemplifies the 'Sessions' unique approach within its very first tracks. Front loaded with Private Playlist-style cuts like 16 Bit Lolitas 'Deep in My Soul' and Maceo Plex refashioning of GusGus' 'Crossfade' it slickly builds to floor-strikes like CG's just-completed rework of Gareth Emery's 'Long Way Home', Genix's 'Durban', ilan Bluestone's 'Big Ben' and more.
Arty vs Cosmic Gate's 'Flashback Of Conflict' mash-up, Above & Beyond's 'Sticky Fingers' and 'This Time' -
Nic Chagall's much-anticipated solo return - charge the opening of the second disc. A run of Start To Feel tour and radio-wave faves including 'Fair Game', 'Falling Back', 'Telefunken' & 'So Get Up' follow, white-hot on their heels. The first 'Wake Your Mind Sessions' culminates with the Alexander Popov's clubby fortification of LTN's 'Feeling like Yeah', Axis's transcendently progressive 'Lush' and Super8 & Tab's vocal anthem 'No Frontiers'.
Blending the new and the now, with zero distortion, and for maximum encapsulation, 'Sessions 001' delivers a pair of infectiously mixed, creatively compiled discs. Straight from the heart of the Gate, this is music that CG fans will be coming back to for years to come!
So Wake Your Mind and Start To Feel!

text: theiceman831 0 Posted December 9, 2010 Hello all, I am frustrated with two groups of cysts that are located on the back of my jawline. These have been there for over a year. I have tried everything short of accutane. The strange thing is, the rest of my face has been fairly clear, right now i don't even have any pimples on the rest of my face. I have tried tetracycline, bp, retin A, salycic acid, ect. I wash my face twice a day with a bp cleanser. Has anyone else ever experienced such cysts? Its like a group of small cysts that have grouped together on one section of my jaw and created a large lump about 2 inches in diameter on both sides of my jaw. They're not really red, and have never come to a head. Also the cysts are kinda hard. Do these need to be surgically drained by a doctor? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We have worked very closely with Tasman District Council (TDC) for over a decade providing the full range of communications and design services. Our work has covered Long Term Plans, Annual Plans, regular publications, website, community consultations, internal communications, social media and everything in-between.
TDC in a unitary authority – which means it has the same responsibilities as both a regional council and a normal district council. As a result, we have worked with its land and water, pest control and environmental teams on engagement and education programmes as well as producing internal and external facing reports.
TDC's communications regularly ranks amongst the best in NZ in independent audits, with some channels such as its regular newsletter, having a 95%+ awareness rating.
We have recently worked with TDC to re-imagine its brand/identity, resulting in a cleaner, and more easily used logo and much more engaging branding and imagery.

Just printing
Since I write this post while printing, I discovered a big advantage of typewriters in darkrooms. You dont have to turn them off while you make prints. No annoying status light that would fog your prints, and wakeup from standby is instant. Every darkroom should have a typewriter. I agree you could gaffer all the lights on a laptop (like I did with my radio down here, you have to have a radio or otherwise you go mad in a darkroom), but that looks ugly (unless it fits to your laptop like it does to my 70s radio) and sooner or later it will fall down and fog your prints (again). But more about prints. I made the switch to the bigger Durst enlarger, but that means I also have to adjust my color analyser to the news one. As I type this, I just have the first real test print in the washer. Lets hope it looks good.
More will follow shortly. There are many shots on this film I would like to print. But now I have to quit, I'm out of water.
greetings from the darkroom

Just enter the word diets into a search engine and you will end up with 10s of millions of results with a vast array of titles. Diets for weight loss, diets for quick weight loss, fast diets, diets for men, for children. Leave off the "s" and its even more bewildering, diet pills, plans, tips, diets that work, I didn't see a category for diets that don't work though.
Is it any wonder that we the general public are so confused about dieting, what you must and mustn't eat, what plan you should follow or exercise routine to embark on?
atkins diet program, natural weight loss, no carb diet,
One major question you must ask yourself is why you think you need to go on a diet in the first place? What is it you want to achieve? What is it about your body you don't like? Are you genuinely overweight or are you responding to fashion, fads and TV programs. Before you launch yourself off into a diet plan get some professional unbiased advice, go and talk to your GP ask him/her to weigh you, show him any pamphlets or other literature you have of your chosen diet. Do your own homework look up the diet on the internet, if there is a person marketing or vouching for the product put their name into a search engine, what are their credentials? How much experience of dietary products and plans do they have?
Draw up a list of your own situation, what is your problem area or areas as you see them? What are you expecting to achieve? Within what time scale do you expect to see results? On the other side of the same page list all the things you like about yourself and why - your hair or eyes - anything. This helps you to keep a balanced view of yourself, because if you do feel unhappy about a particular aspect of yourself the tendency is to focus only on that and forget about all the great things there are about you. Okay let's assume you are overweight, your tummy hangs over your trousers or your bum's too big or whatever.
Look at your own diet, if you drink lots of beer or eat takeaways every other night that may be the major part of your weight problem. These are obvious examples and the remedy maybe staring you in the face, but it may not be as cut and dried as that. Keep a food diary for a month; log everything you eat, when you do this try also to note what type of mood you were in, what feelings you had. Doing this will help you to identify comfort eating and other habits.
Women must take into consideration their menstrual cycle.
What you are looking for is a pattern and part of the secret is breaking that pattern. Now a month may seem a long time if you are thinking I can't be bothered with all that, you then have to ask yourself how serious you are about losing weight, because yoyo dieting is a destructive cycle. To successfully lose weight you must get your mindset right, you will never achieve total success if you are not totally committed, a focused mind is absolutely essential.
Before you spend your hard earned cash on a dietary course take a close look at your present diet and lifestyle - is your diet balanced? Do you eat enough fresh fruit and veg? What about fish? How much processed food do you eat? Do you allow yourself enough time to sit down and eat a balanced meal in a relaxed unhurried manner? Do you drink water? How much do you exercise? These are just a few of the questions you should be asking yourself there is a great deal you can do just by simple self analysis.
Okay you have decided to follow that diet plan you saw advertised on the TV, make sure it is for you, by that I mean there is no point in going on an only eat lettuce diet if you can't stand the stuff or following a course that says do lots of star jumps if you have a dodgy knee. Because without a doubt you will get fed up and give up and be back on that yoyo.
There is nothing worse than feeling as though you have failed and that you are a failure. It damages self confidence, self esteem that can have knock on effects for work and social life. Losing weight is more than just looking good on the beach this is of course important to many people and is part of the reward for your endeavours. For others losing weight is a conscious goal setting decision to improve quality of life and the first steps toward a more complete, contented individual.
We all know that the initial weight loss, getting down to your target weight is a fantastic achievement and a great confidence booster and quite rightly you should give yourself a huge pat on the back. There then follows the stage two of your quest, keeping the weight off. I can help you with both steps. I am able to provide help and advice enabling you to lead a slimmer healthier life.
Lastly do not let your diet dominate your life, do not stop enjoying yourself.
In fact to help you on your way there is something that you really should read, your diet free weight loss is a site that will give you detailed information to help you to make your choice and start to lose weight straight away, to find out more click here

So we took a poll and no one wanted to return home from our painting trip to Giverny. The only solution is to buy this house and stay on in Giverny.
The problem with our plan is that none of us is rich enough right now to pay for our new home. We have gone back to the "drawing board", so to speak to come up with another plan.

Plastic waste is a rising issue, particularly for islands and coastal communities. Without responsible management, plastic waste can destroy pristine bays and soft sand beaches.
Plastic waste has value. Working with our partners, we collect plastic waste from across the British Virgin Islands. Instead of shipping collected plastics out of the territory, we process the material here, creating local employment and new products that are useful in the territory. Our first products include outdoor furniture and deck/dock boards.
VI Plastics can process all types of plastic material. Most plastics are marked with a 'resin identification' code (a number from 1 – 7) somewhere on the product. Unmarked plastics, like plastics bags, shrink wrap and cling wrap and styrofoam can also be recycled.

You are here
with a new men's 15s national team coach, can we also establish a
coherent play scouting process? Yes the HSAA/Junior AAs/All Americans
system is good (very good in fact). But that's not everybody. We have a
flood of second- and third-generation Polynesian players, young players
who pick up the game after college, kids in college and high school
overseas, and US-qualified adults players overseas. Not to mention the
foreign players who move to the USA and make their home here.
That's a lot of different types of players, and without a select-side competition (which we need, desperately), the scouting and player tracking and development is crucial.
Top players not in the Eagles don't get enough feedback on what they can do to become better players. They need that.
- Will we need to hire a Director of Player Development to track and
nurture these players? It's not the same as High Performance. It's very
clerical, and not always exciting.
- Will the Eagle MNT have a real competition to play in 2012? No. In
2013? Quite possibly. I would love to see it, and I know the players and
USA Rugby's leadership would love to see it. But it has to not be a
monetary sinkhole.
- Can the women's national programs get on track? It's not as if they're
not doing anything, but we need to see the teams assemble and play on a
regular schedule. We need the right players to be tracked to 15s and 7s. We
need strides to be made on the elite level.
My answer here is, yes, we can. I think the current elite camp is a good thing. Players know where they are, and it seems Pete Steinberg and Ric Suggitt are energized, working together, and eager to build a program.
- A while ago I asked USA Rugby's Jim Snyder if there were going to be
any moves in the structure of men's club rugby. He said no, adding that the
men's senior club system has to drive some changes on their end.
Understandable, and I think in 2012 we might see some changes. There's work afoot to develop a West Coast club league. There's work afoot to create a pro league that is centered, also, in the West (USA and Canada). There's work afoot to either put a spark under the Super League to split it up.
Wow, that's a lot of work afoot. Could we see a completely splintered league system in a year? I do think we could, and the interesting point is that in all the chat about these leagues and different competitions, no one ever says the word "championship." And no one ever talks about proving any one club is the best. It's almost always about getting good competition, or creating a competition that is compelling for players and fans.
That sounds more like the move within high school rugby to the SBRO system, and the move within college to the conference system.
- If the most celebrated and powerful college rugby team in the country
pulled out of championship competition, what would it mean to such
competition? And if that same program turned around and succeeded in
entering the D1AA (which, by the way, they have a right to do), what would
it do to that competition.
I guess we'll see.

Ever since we bought our house we have been slowly working on transforming the square lawn, which takes up all the flat area of the rear garden, into something more interesting with flowers and shrubs etc. Last year we used a whole bunch of bricks to mark out where we wanted the borders and a pond to be. Unfortunately we haven't had the time to actually do all the work yet.
The back left corner of the garden will eventually hold the pond and a bit of a bog garden as well as a small patio and a bench. Currently though, we have simply let this corner go wild to produce an interesting habitat for good old fashioned British wildlife. This means lots of tall grass, ragwort, dock and a whole bunch of other plants. One side effect of this is that the number of species of moths and butterflies we are seeing in the garden is increasing.
So far this year I've managed to identify and photograph two new species of moth and a butterfly.
From left to right we have:
So I'm sorry if any of my neighbors think that the garden looks a little untidy, it will improve slowly, but until we have the time I'd prefer it to be a haven for British wildlife then a boring lawn.
- Tyria jacobaeae
- A day flying moth more commonly referred to as a Cinnabar. This is likely to have been attracted to the garden by the ragwort growing wild in what will eventually be a pond as this is the favourite food of it's larval form.
- Polyommatus icarus
- Last year we actually saw quite a few blue butterflies flitting around the garden. Unfortunately they either flew over the fence or were eaten by the Robins before we had a chance to identify them. This year, however, I finally found one sunning itself in the border and it sat still long enough for me to identify it as a Common Blue. It's a shame I didn't manage a photo of the bright blue upper wing surfaces but all the identifying characteristics are actually in the photo.
- Diachrysia chrysitis f. aurea
- I found this Burnished Brass moth in the herb border today while I was mowing the lawn. It was sitting in the marjoram which isn't really surprising given that my moth book lists marjoram as one of the larval food plants.

Kevin Greutert has attacked Lionsgate for removing him from Paranormal Activity 2.
The Saw VI director was hired by Paramount to helm the sequel to Oren Peli's horror hit earlier this month. However, when news of the deal broke Saw backers Lionsgate and Twisted Pictures activated an option in Greutert's contract to force him back to helm the latest 3D instalment.
"I'm in the middle of something really terrible right now," Greutert wrote on his website. "While I fight for justice in this, the important thing is to avoid giving in to hatred and anger, because these emotions are life killers. Hopefully we will all arrive at an amicable solution. Thank you to everyone who is working with me on this."
The filmmaker, who later removed the entries from his site, added in a further post: "I just had the task of telling my 83-year-old mother that no, I'm not going to be allowed to direct the movie we were all so excited about when my family last got together, and that I'm being forced to leave town before getting a chance to see her again.
"Yes, I'll be filming people getting tortured YET AGAIN. So we'll have to put off me making a film she can actually watch for another year. I'm not making this s**t up."
Saw VII 3D and Paranormal Activity 2 are scheduled to go head-to-head at the box office this year, with both opening on October 22.

In my previous post, I explored my daughter's first trip to college, and how the experience for my generation centered on the question "Could I or should I be a part of that school and what it represents?" For my daughter, it was more about "Could or should the school, become a part of my life?"
So the question becomes, how do you market to Millennials? Research suggests that they tend to be more socially liberal than previous generations, believe they can have a real impact on the world, enjoy the integration of work with their personal lives, and believe government is highly inefficient (who doesn't?).
There are a few things that marketers can focus on going back to the basics of the 5 Ws:
Who – Analytics can help. Make sure you are spending your marketing dollars on the right Millennials, or those who are most likely to purchase. All Millennials are not the same, and all do not offer the same propensity to interact with your brand.
What – Tonality is important, and brand affinity building is paramount. Today's brands need to connect personally with Millennials, and build and maintain brand affinity relentlessly. This will involve establishing a persona for the brand that connects with MIllineals. Public relations, charitable contributions, strategic alliances, and even fun can play a role. Yes, I said fun (case in point the "Ice Bucket Challenge" for ALS).
Where – The answer is EVERYWHERE (Online and Offline). Well, everywhere where a communication or communication platform (such as a web page) provides relevance. The key is to create engagement, allowing MIllineals to share and/or create content.
When – At or just prior to the point of relevance. This can be realized as a results of efforts in organic and paid search. It can also often be driven by life events, which is one tried and true trigger strategy used in financial services. Despite perceived or aggregated perceptions about Millennials, they all still will go through live events just like previous generations. Examples include graduating from college, moving into a new home, getting married, and having children. These events impact the need for auto insurance, rental insurance, homeowners insurance, life insurance, banking, and investments in particular. More to come on this in a future blog entry.
Why – This brings us back full circle to the reason for the post. The Millennial generation demands a new marketing paradigm, and more than any other generation will dictate terms to marketers on if, how, and when they will engage with brands. It is now up to brands to create a consistent and personal brand experience that builds and maintains affinity. Brands who are successful will benefit from a multiplier effect given social sharing and engagement. Those who fail will fall far behind.
The stakes are high as evidenced by the soon to be 2.5 trillion dollars in buying power at stake. My daughter and many, many, other like her have now changed the game forever.

Series scoring is based on your lowest 3 placements in your age-group division (5K and 10K qualify – 1 mile race is not used for series scoring); the lowest score wins. For example if you ran 4 races, placing 12th, 20th, 3rd and 6th – your score would be the sum of 12, 3 and 6, or 21. There will be ties, which are broken by taking your top 3 finishing times, bringing them down to a 5K score and the fastest time wins that place. If your age changes within the series, your series score is based on the age-group placement where you had the most races.
There are several types of 'Doubles' within the Stapleton Run Series, providing opportunity to double up on your run day. These options vary per event, with most offering an early 1 mile or 5K event, followed by the later slate of event distances one hour later. The result is that at most of the events you can pack on the mileage so that your event can be personalized to include the mileage you want for training and preparing for your ultimate goals! There are registration discounts for the Doubles categories and throughout the season various awards and medals will be given for Doubles categories. There will also be Doubles series medals and competitions at the end of the series – who can complete the most Doubles in the season?
The series accommodates all ages and abilities. Start anew or stay on track with your training over the summer with 1 Mile, 5K, 10K, 10 Mile and Half Marathon distances at each event. Run all events at the same distance and see how you're progressing or use the series to build your endurance over the summer.
Pets and strollers are welcome at all events. Everyone knows the rules; keep them leashed – be aware of and courteous to other event participants – pick up after them and don't let them wander off 🙂

Washington State UniversityPullman,
Student Union Needs Assessment, Feasibility Analysis, And Programming
Washington State University retained the services of B&D in 2001 to conduct a detailed needs assessment, feasibility study, and facility programming for the renewal of the existing Compton Union Building (CUB). Our scope of work included reviewing the existing drawings and site plan; a detailed market analysis including a survey, focus groups, and peer school review; the development of a detailed facilities program; and financial analysis. Recognizing the importance of the CUB as a quality-of-life facility and the role it played in the future development of the university's campus community, we recommended that the university undertake extensive renovations and additions to the CUB, creating a contemporary and comprehensive facility to better meet the campus needs well into the future. The plan included a dynamic revitalization of the facility that would use existing space more efficiently, create a landmark presence in the center of campus, and effectively take advantage of the aggressive site topography and views. Completed in 2008, the $86 million CUB renovation included an expanded food court, computer labs, study and social rooms, updated conference rooms, and student organization space. The revamped 235,000 SF facility received LEED Silver certification in 2009.

How to Play Skull the Card Game

Skull is a game played with 3 to 6 players, all aiming to flip over a predetermined number of cards in the hopes they do not flip over a skull card. This game combines bluffing and keeping a straight face, much like in poker or liar's dice. This game is easy to pick up and fun for all ages.
Playing with Official Skull Game Set
1Divide the materials. Give each player one mat and a total of four cards: three flower cards, and one skull card. Any materials not used are set off to the side.
2Place your mat dark side up. Each mat has a dark side and a light side. The dark side signifies that you have not gained a point yet.
3Start the round. Each player will begin the round by placing one of their four cards face down on their mat. Once everyone has a card placed, determine who goes first. This can be done in any sort of way (who bought the game goes first, youngest goes first, roll a die, etc.)
4Take your turn.
- Place another card. You can choose to place a card on top of the existing card(s). If you choose to do this, your turn ends and the turn order continues in clockwise order.
- Issue a challenge. Challenges are done to score points in skull. To issue a challenge, you must call out a number of cards starting with one. You can only call out the maximum number of cards that are down at the time you issued the challenge.
5Play the challenge. Once a challenge has been issued, no new cards may be placed by any player. Players must choose to raise the number of cards or pass. If a player passes, their turn is skipped until the challenge has been resolved. Once all but one player passes or a player chooses to call out the maximum number of cards, that player must resolve the challenge. If you cannot place down another card, you must issue a challenge.
- Example: In a game with three players, each player puts down one card at the start of the game. Player one decides to put down another card. Player two decides to do the same, as does player three. Player one decides to put down one more card, but now player two decides to issue a challenge. Player two bets he can flip over two cards without revealing a skull. Player three bets she can flip over three cards. Player one does not feel confident enough to flip over more than three cards so he skips his turn. Player two raises the bet to four cards. Player three also decides to skip her turn, so player two must now resolve the challenge. See next step to see how to resolve a challenge.
6Resolve the challenge. The player resolving the challenge must now flip over the number of cards he or she had called out. The challenger must flip over all of their own cards first before flipping anyone else's. Once they have flipped over their own cards and have not flipped over a skull, they may continue to flip over cards until they flip over the number of cards they had called out during the challenge phase. Cards must be flipped over from top to bottom only. As soon as the resolving player flips over a skull, do not flip over any more cards. See next step to see what to do in case of revealing a skull.
7React if someone flips over a skull. When a skull is revealed by the resolving player, everyone returns their cards to their hand without revealing any cards that were not flipped over. The resolving player must then lose one of their cards. If the skull revealed was one of another player, that player will randomly choose which card is discarded. If the skull revealed was your own, you must randomly discard one of your own cards. A new round is started afterwards. The resolving player will go first in the next round.
8Assign the winner of the round if they flip over no skulls. If the resolving player is able to flip over the number of cards they have called out and they do not flip over a skull, they win that round. All unrevealed cards are returned to their respective players' hands. The resolving player will then flip over their mat to show the light side, signifying they have won the challenge.
9Eliminate people as game play continues. You get eliminated if:
- You fail four challenges. If a player reveals a skull in all four of their challenges, they will have lost all of their cards. This player will then set aside their mat and all their cards and will sit out the rest of the game. Even if a player had won a challenge before, they can still be eliminated.
- The last card in hand is a skull. If the only card left after discarding all other cards is a skull, you must issue a challenge as usual. Once you or another player reveals your last card, you are immediately eliminated from the game. If another player revealed your card, they lose the challenge and discard a card as normal.
10Determine your winner. You win the game if:
- You complete two challenges. Gameplay continues until one player successfully completes two challenges (does not flip over any skulls).
- You are the last player standing. The game can also end if all other players are eliminated and only one player is left standing. A player can win the game even if they failed to resolve any number of challenges, so long as they are not eliminated.
Playing with Standard Playing Cards
1Determine number of players. Give each player one ace (as their mat), one jack, one queen, one king (as their flowers), and one 2 card (as their skull). Make sure these cards are all of the same suit to avoid confusion.
2Place your ace face down. This will signify you have not yet won a point and will take the place of a mat from the official game set.
3Proceed with the game as normal.
- Follow the process of regular gameplay, above, to play the game with this method.
- This method of the game only supports up to 4 players.
Playing with Standard Playing Cards (Variant Two)
1Separate the cards by numbers. Give each player a set of four cards with the same number plus a court card (Jack, Queen, King) that will double as the player mat.
2Place your court card face down. Flip it when earning a point
3Use the spade card as a skull and the remaining three as flowers.
- This method will boost the number of players up to 10
- It is best to be careful though as the club card can be easily mistaken for the spade card which you may find annoying.
- Play with more than 6 players is not recommended as it's not supported by the original game.
Playing with UNO Cards
1Determine number of players. Give each player one "Wild" card (as their mat), one "Reverse" card, one "Skip card, one "Draw two" card (as their flowers), and one "Wild Draw Four" card (as their skull). Make sure these cards are all the same color (excluding the "Wild" cards) to avoid confusion.
2Place your wild card face down. This will signify you have not yet won a point and will take the place of a mat from the official game set.
3Proceed with the game as normal.
- Follow the process of regular gameplay, above, to play the game with this method.
- This method also only supports up to 4 players.

- For novice players, this game is best played with more than three people. More players mean less strategic thinking and more room for errors.
- Being the first player has a great advantage. Resolving a challenge during one round in order to be the first player in the next round is a risk worth taking to gain the first player advantage.
- Make sure to bluff. Even if your top card is a skull, calling a challenge or raising the number of cards can give the next player a false sense of security. They will more often than not pick your card first once they reveal their cards only for them to lose the challenge.
- Create anxiety. Commenting on other players' choices is perfectly okay. Make resolving a challenge more difficult for other players and deter them from making more challenges in the future.
- Pay close attention during longer games. During a game with players with fewer cards in their hands and even eliminated players, create a winning strategy. Keep track of players without a skull card or players who consistently put down a skull as their top card to eliminate them.
- To increase the number of players, simply add on another Skull game set (or deck of playing cards/UNO cards for those methods, respectively).
Things You'll Need
- Official Skull Game Set or variation
- Deck of Playing Cards (optional)

Situation Training - Sample Lesson Plan
|From Ace Coach Photos
One of the simplest and most powerful ways to do a Game-Based approach lesson is to use Situation Training. This is where we identify a frequently encountered situation at the student's level and present it as a problem-solving task to accomplish. Then, we set-up drills to groove the technical skills required to perform the outcome. Situation training allows students to maintain the feel of playing while getting the appropriate repetition to develop the skills of tennis.
No matter how interesting our 21st Century material may be, it will be of little practical use until you learn to apply it in your day-to-day teaching. It is in the tennis lesson that theory is transformed into practice.
To visualize how the lesson works, one can imagine an "Hourglass". In the first part of the lesson the "Big picture" of the situation is presented and experienced. This is called an "Open" Situation". The lesson progresses to "Closed" drills (the thin part of the Hourglass) that help students to master the specific skills required for success in the open situation. Finally, the lesson takes those skills and re-integrates them back into an open situation. Many coaches are familiar with the success of using a "Whole-part-whole" approach for technical skills. This is a similar concept only using tactics and techniques.

Speak Louder, Grow Business
I was sitting at lunch the other day having a quick bite alone. Sitting at the table next to me, were two gentlemen having a conversation. Now, it was not like I was ease dropping, but the conversation was loud enough to hear. One of the gentleman was speaking rather loudly but passionately, which actually engaged me more, and will help one grow business inadvertently.
The topic of the conversation was actually something that I had an interest in and can relate to! As I got up to leave the restaurant, I stopped by the table and apologized for the interruption in addition I handed one of the gentlemen my card and asked him to contact me. Neither one of the two had any problem with me interrupting briefly. But as I walked away I heard the one man say that this encounter was typically how he got business.
So for you to grow business, whether it's outside exercising or having lunch in public places, speak loudly enough for others to possibly hear what your business does and speak passionately. You will definitely be able to grow your business. The Power of Curiosity to Grow Business.

By Matthew A. Quick If, during the term of a lease, any Tenant or occupant is charged with committing a Class X Felony on the leased premises, which includes, but is not limited to kidnapping, sexual assault, armed robbery and manufacture or sale of narcotics, and there is a judicial finding of probable cause at a preliminary hearing or indictment by a grand jury concerning the same charge, the Landlord may void the lease. 765 ILCS 705/5.
If the Landlord wishes to void the lease, the Landlord must post written notice at the leased premises requiring the Tenant to vacate the leased premises on or before a date five (5) days after giving of the notice. If the Tenant does not vacate the premises prior to the date given, the Landlord may utilize forcible entry proceedings. 735 ILCS 5/9-101, et seq.
In order for the Landlord to void the lease upon commission of a Class X Felony, however, the Landlord and Tenant must execute a lease addendum for drug free housing as promulgated by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development, which has become commonly known and referred to as a Crime Free Lease Addendum.
Regardless of the intent of the Landlord, incorporation of this document into the lease agreement is required in some communities and select communities mandate every Landlord to attend a Crime Free Seminar. Landlords should contact the municipality in which the leased premises sits to determine if any Crime Free mandates exist.

Managing Serious Injuries and Fatalities (SIF)
Over the past 15 years, the U.S. has seen a steady decline in both fatalities and non-fatal injuries and illnesses. While any decline is a step in the right direction, there is concern that the rate of Serious Injuries and Fatalities (SIFs) are declining much slower than non-fatal injuries and illnesses.1 Due to this trend, identifying SIFs and finding effective ways to prevent them is a cornerstone of global initiatives; similar to the International Labour Organization's Vision Zero, an initiative to end fatal occupational injuries and illnesses.
What is a Serious Injury?
With so much importance placed on identifying SIFs, it is critical to ask a basic question: What is a serious injury? Serious injuries involve an amputation, the loss of an eye or in-patient hospitalization. OSHA requires reporting of those injuries classified as a severe incident or fatality.
To help with classifying serious injuries, researchers have broken this definition into two categories to consider when identifying SIFs1:
- Life-threatening: Injuries that are likely to kill the injured person if not immediately addressed. Examples include abdominal trauma or damage to the brain/spinal cord.
- Life-altering: Injuries that lead to permanent disability or disfigurement. More often, a life-altering injury is one that will continue to cause pain long after the scars have healed. Examples include paralysis or amputations.
Preventing SIFS
After identifying SIFs, the next question becomes: How can we prevent them? SIFs are thought to occur when there are high-risk exposures and safety control failures, and both of these items are allowed to continue without mitigation. To put it simply, high-risk situations where management controls are absent, ineffective or otherwise not properly implemented may lead to a SIF if allowed to continue.
The key to SIF prevention is recognizing these situations and applying appropriate mitigation techniques, as necessary. Tools available to assist with preventing SIFs:
- Identify contractors who have robust written health and safety programs and confirm they are implementing their written programs through an onsite audit or evaluation.
- Track events that can lead to SIFs, such as near misses.
- Communicate unintended incidents or near misses and lessons learned to all affected individuals, including contractors, in a timely manner.
- Implement lessons learned following an incident or near miss to reduce the likelihood of SIFs occurring in the future.

Looking for a way to hold your own feet to the fire in regards to your latest resolution(s)? Well, instead of keeping your goal to your self, sharing it with others or writing it down, among other things, can actually help make it so. I encouraged folks to try this last year, but it seemed to fall off the wagon early in the journey, so this year we'll try it on Facebook. You're welcome to post goals here, but the action will be on the Take It Outside Fitness Facebook Fan Page.
Feeling weird about posting your goals to the web wide world? Come on! A goal you share with others might be just motivator for someone else. Share your suggestions and ideas!
Personally, after watching Forks Over Knives with friends this weekend, my goal is to eat more fruits and veggies, everyday.

My research interest is focused in the energy frontier of particle physics where along with my other UCLA colleagues, I participate in the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment at CERN's Large Hadron Collider.
In the first LHC run, I played a leading role in the discovery and characterization of the Higgs boson through its Z boson and tau decays.
My current projects involve searches for heavy new particles at the highest TeV energy collisions of the LHC. Possible discovery of those particles could reveal new fundamental interactions, additional Higgs bosons or more exotic scenarios such as extra dimensions.
In addition to data analysis, I am working on a custom electronics system known as the CMS trigger where we use FPGAs to identify charged particles known as muons and measure their momentum in real time LHC collisions at a rate of 40 MHz.

Jaime Wyatt's 'Felony Blues' Named One of the Most Anticipated Albums of 2017
Jaime Wyatt – Felony Blues – February 24th
"Keep your eye out for this one."
"Jaime is a striking figure with an old soul and a voice like a force of nature. The Los Angeles-native is a dynamic performer, who sails naturally between vintage '60s and '70s country/rock 'n' soul anthems and heartfelt country ballads of love and corruption. Jaime got a record deal at the age of 17, but after a second deal went down the tubes, she developed a drug problem. She got busted for robbing her drug dealer and took a plea deal for 8 months in jail, a felony strike, 6 months of treatment and 3 years felony probation. "I stayed out of trouble most of the time in jail, by singing songs for people and making them laugh," says Jaime. Jaime's emerged with a largely autobiographical collection of convict love stories, prison songs, and honky-tonk laments."

Sternal pain after rigid fixation: a pilot study of randomization rigid vs conventional wire closure.
Document Type
Objective: Rigid sternal fixation may provide better sternal closure than conventional sternal wire closure. We performed a prospective randomized study to investigate if rigid closure reduces postoperative sternal pain. Methods: Patients undergoing CABG ± valve surgery between July 2011 and January 2012 were prospectively randomized into conventional wire closure (group C) or rigid fixation using sternal plates (group R). Pain scores were determined at 6 AM using a numeric rating scale (0 no pain, 5 moderate pain, 10 worst possible pain). Narcotic pain medication requirement from day 1 to 5 was collected and converted into intravenous morphine equivalent. Results: Among the total of 26 patients, 11 patients were in Group R (10 male and 1 female, age 67 ± 8.0) and 15 patients were in Group C (13 male and 2 female, age 66 ± 9.9). Preoperative risk factors and procedure were identical between the two groups. Pain scores were not significantly different between 2 groups. Narcotic requirement was smaller in group R (15.7 mg intravenous morphine equivalent in group R in day 1vs 18.4 mg intravenous morphine equivalent in day 1 in group C in day 1, 13.1 mg vs 12.5 mg in day 2, 9.4 mg vs 10.5 mg in day 3, 6.9 mg vs 7.7 mg in day 4, and 6.2 mg vs 6.9 mg in day 5) than group C. Total iv narcotic given over 5 days was 24 ± 41 mg in group R and 34 mg ± 54 mg in group C (p=0.60). Conclusion: Randomized data rom this ongoing study showed a trend of fewer narcotic requirement especially intravenous narcotics in group R than in group C. Implications: Rigid fixation may potentially improve immediate sternal pain after open heart surgery. Less narcotic requirement potentially facilitate early return to the daily activity.

This is my Christmas present to myself. It's a Mamiya M645 1000s medium format camera. It is shown here with a 80mm Mamiya-Sekor C lens and I also got 55mm and 150mm lenses.
The 645 series was introduced in 1975 with the 1000s coming in 1976. I believe they continued to make the 1000s until 1990.
The camera is an SLR with an image format of 6cm x 4.5cm. You get 15 frames on a 120 roll and 30 frames on a 220 roll. The film is put into inserts which then go into the camera. 120 and 220 films use different inserts presumably because of the need for different pressure plates due to the lack of paper in 220 film. Later models used magazines which could be swapped mid roll.
Here are a few test shots from the first roll.
