CineSquid takes your camera and sticks it
By Ben Coxworth
February 22, 2012
For the past several months, film-makers using DSLRs or small camcorders have had an interesting option available for getting smooth tracking shots - CineSkates. The product combines a GorillaPod Focus tripod, a BallHead X tripod head and three soft urethane wheels. Those wheels mount on the feet of the tripod, allowing it to make fluid, dolly-like movements. Cinetics, the company that makes Cineskates, has now announced a new member to its family. It's called the CineSquid, and it includes the same tripod and head, but with suction cup feet that allow it to adhere to almost any smooth surface.
It should be noted that the suction cups are of the heavy duty variety, incorporating a lever that pumps air out of them upon application - in other words, they're not those cheap things that you lick and then stick on a window. According to the company, they can be used to fasten the rest of the apparatus, along with a camera, onto the belly of an airplane flying at 200 mph (322 km/h).
Cinetics suggests that the device could also be attached to the exterior of moving cars, boats or trains, or used to obtain a very solid footing when doing time-lapse videography. Other suction cup mount systems do already exist, although most of those don't offer multiple points of attachment, nor do they incorporate the mounting possibilities offered by the bendy-legged GorillaPod.
The system is available via the company website as of today, for US$235. CineSkates owners, who already have the tripod and head, can purchase the suction cups on their own for $120. Shipping should begin next month.
Examples of footage shot using the CineSquid can be seen in the video below.

Fifteen new signature guitars that can help you channel the spirit of your favorite ax slinger.
The definitive guide to Kurt Cobain's pawn shop prizes, stomp boxes and blown woofers.
Guitar World presents a history of the ever-popular phenomenon of signature guitars.

Remember the first time you thought, "That sounds like a Telecaster"? Those moments represent precious development of your musical ear. Upon acquiring my first octave pedal, I began to hear the effect all over songs I'd listened to many times before; Jimmy Page's solo on "Fool in the Rain," Metallica's remake of "Whiskey in the Jar" — and how about Jimi Hendrix's fuzzy octave-up effect on "Purple Haze"?

The world's most precious finite resource is not oil, but water – essential to life, human and economic development, and geopolitical stability. According to the United Nations, nearly 1 billion of the Earth's 7 billion-plus people do not have access to clean water. This integrated water management model demonstrates how dwindling water supplies can be managed more efficiently through public-private collaborations.

Quint Kessenich: MLL 2009 Regular-Season Superlatives
Quint Kessenich - 8/14/2009
We're just a week and a day away from the New Balance Major League Lacrosse Championship Weekend, with four teams gathering their strength with an off-weekend before making the last push at the two finals wins that lay between them and the Steinfeld Cup. Denver vs. Boston (at noon on ESPN2) and Long Island vs. Toronto (following the first game, not on TV) are on the horizon, but it's time to look back at the MLL season that was, as six teams battled every week for the right to get where four have made it so far. Here's a few thoughts on the highlights of MLL 2009, with my personal league 'Superlatives'.
Simply the Best
Paul Rabil MVP
Rabil's pursuit of the extraordinary has been the story of the summer. The second year pro from Johns Hopkins led the league in points with 53. It's the first time a midfielder has led the MLL in scoring. It's especially impressive considering the addition of the fourth long pole in 2009. Rabil's 53 points are the second most ever by a midfielder.
Top Midfield Scoring Seasons All-Time
56pts - Blake Miller, 2004
53pts - Paul Rabil, 2009
47pts - Jay Jalbert, 2003
47pts - Brian Langtry, 2008
46pts - David Curry, 2002
45pts - Roy Colsey, 2006
Best Coverage Worldwide
Brodie Merrill
Merrill is a perfectionist with a pole for Toronto (7-5). He impacts the game in many ways (20 pts and 69 ground balls), and is the poster child for the evolution of the defensive position. It's undeniable; he's the league's top defender.
Dialing Up From Long Distance
Kyle Dixon
Kyle nailed 10 two-point shots this summer, shooting .295 from the field, nearly setting an MLL record in the process. Dixon combines power and efficiency with a snappy overhand release. There were 50 two-point goals scored in 36 regular season games this summer, up marginally from 2008.
Perseverance & Courage
Matt Poskay
Poskay played after surgery for testicular cancer, and through weekly radiation treatments. He dressed in seven games and scored 15 goals, inspiring his teammates and fans in New England while increasing awareness.
Take a Look at Me
Brett Queener
Toronto goalie Brett Queener was the center of attention at the All-Star Game Skills competition, diving off a moving John Deere tractor and impersonating Michael Jackson. Queener continues to grow a legion of groupies who are inspired by his passion, energy and innovation. Queener has the league's highest save percentage (59%) proving he's got substance and style.
50 is the New 40
But being a nine year veteran is even better.
The MLL's old schoolers have outsmarted aging. Nine players have been around since the league's inaugural season: Brian Dougherty, John Gagliardi, Tim Goettleman, Blake Miller, Shawn Nadelen, Josh Sims, Jeff Sonke, Matt Striebel, and Scott Urick show that wisdom comes with age. Let's hope these nine return for a tenth season.
It was a difficult summer for the Class of 2009, in a year that the league contracted from 10 teams to six. Dan Hardy of Denver (9-3) captured the Rookie of the Year award and the rookie scoring title with 16 points. Hardy, Max Seibald, Kenny Nims, Doc Schneider, Brandon Corp and a collection of Washington newcomers stood out. The Bayhawks have great expectations with an influx of young talent including: Matt Abbott, P.T. Ricci, Michael Evans, Danny Glading, Peet Poillon, Dan Groot, Jeff Reynolds, and Ben Hunt.
All-Time Rookies of the Year
2001 – Keith Cromwell
2002 – Conor Gill
2003 – Adam Doneger
2004 – Ryan Boyle
2005 – Brodie Merrill
2006 – Matt Ward
2007 – Alex Smith
2008 – Kevin Huntley
2009 – Dan Hardy
Simple Solution?
The MLL added a 4th long pole defender in the summer of 2009. Purists got their wish and scoring fell by two goals per game.
Close Shaves
17 of 36 games were decided by three or less goals
Boston (6-6) lost six one goal games – surrendering a seven and six goal lead in their last two defeats. Overall, 10 of the 36 MLL regular season games were decided by one goal. Long Island (6-6) won four one-goal games.
Forging a Path to Success
Award Winners
Boston's face-off man Chris Eck, a second year pro from Colgate, will be recognized as the league's Most Improved Player, evolving from a non-dress rookie to one of the best face-off men in the MLL. Denver's Brian Reese will walk away with Coach of the Year honors by default. Denver's Jesse Schwartzman is likely to win Goaltender of the Year, rapidly becoming the best 'big game' keeper in the U.S., continuing the legacy he built at Johns Hopkins in the postseason.
MLL and community service go hand-in-hand. My 'Sportsman of the Year' is Nicky Polanco, who spent All-Star weekend with Ofek Schmool, a young lacrosse fan and cancer patient, of the 'Make a Wish Foundation'. Polanco is the ultimate ambassador of good will. (Ed Note: Long Island teammate Tim Goettelman took the MLL's award)
Best PR
The Today Show
NBC hosts Matt Lauer, Meredith Vieira and Ann Curry were joined by members of the Lizards, led by spokesman Nicky Polanco. During the demonstration portion of the TV segment, Vieira and Curry ripped corners, scoring at will on Doc and Drew Adams. Lauer and Al Roker are advised to hit the wall.
Bad News, Good News
Long Island
Lizards had the worst offense in league history scoring fewer goals than the 0-12 Chicago Machine of 2006. They lack transition and haven't meshed; too many isolation dodgers who refuse to pass the ball and move without it. The good news was that the "Good Fellas" defense of Nicky Polanco, Brian Spallina, Tony McDevitt, Ricky Pages and Danny Cocchi inflicted pain on opponents. Goalie Brian Dougherty showed the innate ability to read shooters' minds, embracing his instincts while adding to his save and win totals, which are the tops in league history.
Historically Hip
Kevin Leveille
Chicago's Kevin Leveille put up 44 points for the 3-9 Machine. Leveille increased his career totals to 200 goals in his sixth season, playing under the radar for a last place franchise that has won only 20% of their games over four years and only one road game in their existence.
Best Place to Work
Over 21,000 fans were in attendance on July 4 at Mile High Stadium for professional lacrosse and fireworks. The Outlaws averaged 10,127 fans for six home games outpacing Boston's average of 8,079. Invesco is the game's premier playing surface and will be in the running to host an NCAA Quarterfinal double-header sooner…rather than later.
Guaranteed Goal Scoring Excellence or Your Money Back
Merrick Thomson
The third year pro out of Albany lead the league in goals scored with 44 on 50% shooting and was the centerpiece of Toronto's leading offense. He rarely misses - Thomson has 86 goals on 174 shots over two years.
Quint Kessenich will be covering MLL Championship weekend August 22 & 23rd at Navy Marine Corps Stadium in Annapolis, MD. Semifinal #1 on ESPN2 live noon Saturday. MLL Final on Sunday August 23 live at 1pm ESPN2 HD. Hope to see you in Annapolis.

U.S. Department of Transportation Office of Public Affairs Washington, DCwww.dot.gov/affairs/briefing.htm
FMCSA 18-02 Friday, September 6, 2002 Contact: Dave Longo Telephone: 202-366-0456
As part of the U.S. Department of Transportation's effort to protect the nation against terrorists, U.S. Transportation Secretary Norman Y. Mineta today announced the start of an Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) operational test to measure the effectiveness of safety and security technologies and procedures for safeguarding hazardous materials being transported by trucks. Private and public sector participants have committed significant cost sharing for the project, in effect doubling the buying power of the $2.5 million being provided by the federal government.
"This public-private partnership will help ensure the safety and security of our highways, urban centers, national landmarks, and national institutions," Secretary Mineta said. "Successful operational testing of new technology for enhancing security may speed up use by industry and provide better protection against terrorists," Secretary Mineta said.
The purpose of the test is to assess the effectiveness of different technologies and procedures and determine the costs and benefits of each to the safety and security of hazardous materials being transported by trucks. The test will independently assess which combination of technology and procedures is the safest and most cost-effective for protecting different types of hazardous cargo from being hijacked by terrorists.
The two-year effort will include 100 trucks equipped with a variety of existing technologies. The project will test capabilities such as biometric driver verification, off-route vehicle alerts, stolen vehicle alerts, cargo tampering alerts and remote vehicle disabling.
The USDOT has awarded the contract for this project to the Battelle Memorial Institute of Columbus, OH. The Battelle team includes the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance, the American Transportation Research Institute (formerly the ATA Foundation), Qualcomm, Inc., Total Security Services International, Inc., and several motor carrier companies and technology component vendors.
There are nearly 800,000 daily shipments of hazardous materials on U.S. highways.
This project is a joint effort involving several USDOT agencies. Led by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, the test is largely funded by the USDOT's Intelligent Transportation Systems Joint Program Office (JPO). The team includes technical experts from JPO as well as from the Research and Special Programs Administration, the Federal Highway Administration, and the USDOT Office of Intermodalism.

Daily Day 3 October 30th, 2006 brought us the third SS Daily Day!
Author Comments
This flash is a collection of 4 of my finest and strangest works from the past year. The first, "Saga of Jeb," was a solo Dailytoon, and it received Review Crew Pick a few months back. The second, "Argentina," was a regular Dailytoon, and is my attempt to make the strangest flash possible. "Vroom" is my personal favorite piece, and it was originally made for the second "vvrrrrroommm" collab. And finally, "Jetto Ninjin" is my part for the Jetto Ninjin collab, which is some of my best FBF work and is outrageously gory.
For those who have already seen all of these flashes and want some more original content, don't worry. I should have a nice solo piece coming out later today.
Rated 5 / 5 stars November 4, 2006
the intro you made,,,,,,,, it opened my heart and soul to dailytewns, the true loves of my youth were able to blossom upon every new episode.
dailytoon 215, your late star day movie, is ALL MY FAULT because i kept yelling at you, i guess i'm pretty good at yelling because i did so much of it for jetto that it finally brought something totally swell. your part helped solidify a teAM EFFORT that was mostly me yelling at lauch but whatever.
i still dont get argentina but i dont want to get it, not everything needs to have a point. i think we understand that by now.
vroom is,,, funny and the f00d art style adds to the banana power

"Best picture quality of any TV on the market"
on by Alphonse-LXPros + Fantastic picture quality
+ Very natural colors
+ Cool feature that allows you to flick content from your phone to the TV
+ Deep blacks, some of the best I've ever seenCons - Screen is too reflective
Summary This summer I decided to upgrade to a 3DTV and bought an LG 47LM7600, but it's "Cinema 3D" didn't live up to the hype, so I returned it. To replace it I ended up buying a Panasonic TC-P55VT50, which at the time was exactly double the price of the LG. I had never owned a plasma before and I wouldn't normally have considered one, but as I researched which TV to buy I consistently saw reviewers saying that this TV had the best picture quality of any TV on the market. And they were right.
This TV produces the best-looking picture that I have ever seen on any TV anywhere, period. I am not talking about subtle differences that only a pro would notice--it is a completely different viewing experience. Despite all the research that I did, I did not really appreciate the difference until I had the TV in my living room. Basically, when you watch a movie on this TV, you are seeing it the way it was intended to look. The colours are vibrant without looking fake, the black looks black instead of dark grey, and there is no motion blur at all. In many ways it recreates the picture of a movie theatre. My Sony XBR4 that I used to think highly of now looks washed-out and dull to me. The Panasonic's 3D--the feature that I actually bought the TV for--is also amazing (I only rarely see crosstalk or flicker) and also the best on the market according to some experts, but its high quality is overshadowed by how impressive the overall picture quality is compared to competing TVs.
Another reviewer mentioned that he disliked this TV because the whites weren't bright enough. It is true that the whites are not as bright as on an LCD, but I LIKE the way they look. In the real world, white objects do not have an otherworldly glow like the bright white of an LCD screen, so when you see those objects in a movie they shouldn't look like that either.
Drawbacks? There is really only one major one, which is that this TV does not work very well as a computer monitor. The reason is that to prevent image retention (a.k.a. burn-in) it chops off 5% from the edges of the screen, which is where all of the important buttons and icons are on a computer desktop. You can disable this feature, but that makes the TV very susceptible to image retention, so it's not a good idea. So if you are planning to use your TV as a computer monitor then this TV is probably not a good choice for you. For everyone else, it's the best.
PS: you can check for best offer for this TV at: 3dplasmatvlowprices.blogspot.com/p/tc-p55vt50.html
Hope I helps. -
"This HDTV is Excellent in many ways."
on by johnnydkPros I recommends this HDTV for viewing during nighttime, since during day time this HDTV will have some glare on the screen. The color is really accurate and picture quality is just excellent. This HDTV also comes with the 3D image mode which is great.
Cons Sound quality not as good as the home theater sound quality.
Summary I recommend this HDTV for viewing during nighttime and if you really like to watch movie and sports at nighttime. I also recommend you check out http://www.squidoo.com/best-hdtv for information on what best HDTV to get this year.
"The world's best panel crippled by software"
on by hunspikeyPros color accurancy
motion compensation
smart options
connectivityCons panel brightness
professional mode is uselessSummary Beware customers, for no one mentions that there is a HUGE difference between the 55VT50B and the 55VT50E.
The second is the same TV meant for the European market, and believe it or not its panel brightness has been locked at around 65 cd/m2 in the professional mode - rendering this option completely useless!!! In the other factory modes, this TV is relatively okey, but only if you constantly keep switching the eco mode on or off depending if its night or day there. (during daytime you should turn it on, while in the evening turn it off)
I find it really really disgusting that Panasonic cripples this TV for the European market. The USA users can enjoy around 140 cd/m2 panel brightness in the professional mode, while we have do live with less then half of this.
I tell you it is completely useless for its way to dark for even a completely darkened room - or when its midnight - no matter.
In the end I had to stay with "normal" or "dynamic" mode, where colors cannot be fully caliblated (you have white balance option only) and there is NO way to calibrate gamme.
I am very disappointed Panasonic.
This TV could be the very best TV - but why did you have to ship this European model with cut back panel brightness????
Recommended for only those users who can live without calibrated panel, and can swallow the fact that for the same price we got to use a crippled product.
Unless Panasonic issues a firmware fix for this - I say stay away from this TV or get the USA model (55VT50B) and use that one. -
"Worst company to buy from."
on by nwburbmomPros Great picture.
Cons After 6 months of normal watching, I was watching the my first basketball game of the season and the score burned in They would not stand behind their product.
Summary I can understand if this was a video game score which is constantly on the screen or something like that, but this was from under an hour of watching one basketball game. I know this specifically, because it's the other teams score that is so prominent. How can a company consciously not back their product up? I will never buy a Panasonic again.
"NICE Plasma. The key word is NICE."
on by Cnetleo78Pros NICE blacks, NICE color.
Cons So much hype by almost all expert reviewers, just can't see whats so great, but NICE. Too cinema smooth for my liking, need more sharpness and detail. C/nets rec settings were used when I had this set in my dark living room.
Summary I have a 42" HP 720p plasma from 2006, and wanted to step up. Late 2012 I read all the reviews for this TV. Not wanting to spend the $ for this one initially, I went with the GT50. I was not impressed at all with the GT, so when I returned the GT. My salesman talked me into the VT. This TV is a lot better than the GT, but I am very critical and I am concerned when the words like "jaw dropping", "outstanding", "mind boggling" are used. These are the words of people seeing an HDTV for the first time, and not by a reviewer being objective. If this is one of the best TVs ever, then I can see why sales are struggling. I appreciate a NICE plasma, and this is NICE one. But not the prior to my critical eyes. Hopefully the 2013 will be better so I can get be satisfied before Panasonic decides weather to leave the plasma world. I returned this model in hopes of the 2013s being better.

Abstract: The literature analysis method used in this paper outlines variations in research topics. We tested whether research on wetlands is topic-centered, comparative of different wetland classes, or aimed at wetland loss. We analyzed research papers to identify clusters of research activity and interpreted these clusters relative to wetland function and type. Furthermore, a case study on 61 papers was conducted in order to find a critical path of wetland loss induced by different causes. From this case study, it was determined that agriculture is regarded as a root cause of wetland loss.

With the news that Greg Hudson has found another job (Florida State was not going to retain him, but he and Fisher are close friends and a new hire wasn't going to be announced before Hudson found a landing spot), it is now time to talk about the linebacker coach position.
It appears that the new man may be Charles Kelly (according to a few reports), the interim defensive coordinator and defensive back coach at Georgia Tech.
What do we know about Kelly? This from our email string.
Here's his GT bio: http://www.ramblinwreck.
com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/ charles_kelly_234397.html
Special teams coordinator in 06 and 07, so presumably he'll fill that role.
Seems to be regarded as a good recruiter.
Only specifically an LB coach at a high school back in 00 and 01, but may have coached LBs during one of his DC stints.
Seemed to make GT's defense quite a bit better when he took over mid-season.
GT is a 3-4, but Kelly has been a secondary coach the entire time that GT has played a 3-4, so I'm not sure how much of a "3-4 guy" he is.
Every source I have talked to said Charles Kelly is leaving for #FSU and he did not demand or ask to be the DC at GT, wanted change of scene
— Kelly Quinlan (@Kelly_Quinlan) January 7, 2013
Charles Kelly was the lead recruiter for Justin Thomas (Prattville, Alabama), Georgia Tech's highest rated signee last cycle.
— Corey Dowlar/ESPN (@cdowlar) January 7, 2013
Charles Kelly's recruiting zones for Tech: West Georgia, Alabama and Louisiana. High schools in Georgia such as Norcross.
— Corey Dowlar/ESPN (@cdowlar) January 7, 2013
If true, #FSU would get a solid recruiter in former #GT DC Charles Kelly. Prospects in Georgia have often complimented him.
— Kipp Adams (@KippLAdams) January 7, 2013
@tomahawknation Yeah, but he ran 3-4 by default. Was moved to DC after Al Groh was fired. Kelly was previously DBs coach. Still, interesting
— Coley Harvey (@os_coleyharvey) January 7, 2013
@ccaton19 @tomahawknation Not sure how good a hire he'll be w LBs, but he'll be instant player fave. Good guy, solid recruiter, *knows Bama*
— Coley Harvey (@os_coleyharvey) January 7, 2013
Hasn't coached LBs in college; was GT DBs coach before getting moved to DC after Al Groh was fired. Solid recruiter, *knows Bama* @pk_polk
— Coley Harvey (@os_coleyharvey) January 7, 2013
Very. He was always one of my faves on GT's staff. Real good dude RT @jmnpb Coley, how familiar are you with Kelly from your time up there?
— Coley Harvey (@os_coleyharvey) January 7, 2013
@os_coleyharvey @ccaton19 @tomahawknation He's a great coach! Knows the 4-3 way more than given credit. Was my coach at JSU! Taught me much!

Overall, DisplayLink's USB-to-DVI adapter is a mixed blessing. On one hand, the device has undeniable potential, and it works fine in Windows XP provided your monitor's resolution isn't too high. On the other hand, its poor performance in Vista is a pretty big caveat and could seriously impede its usefulness on most newer PCs. DisplayLink's spring release time frame for its driver update means a speedier driver may not be available until June, which is a pretty long time to wait.
I would be more inclined to forgive poor Vista performance if this were February 2007. However, Vista has been shipping on most new PCs for over a year now, and the release-to-manufacturing version became available all the way back in November 2006. DisplayLink may have limited resources to spend on driver development, and the limitations of the USB interface could be more to blame than lackluster drivers, but incomplete Vista support today is nonetheless hard to swallowespecially for a product with a $150 price tag.
Folks seriously considering this adapter will need to evaluate carefully whether their hardware, operating system, and usage patterns are suited to itand whether tossing in a cheaper PCI or PCIe x1 video card might not be a simpler alternative. If you're a laptop user who still runs Windows XP, or if you have a Vista laptop and only need an extra display for office work, then the adapter is a decent choice. However, there are compromises in both cases, and DisplayLink's product really can't be considered a full-featured replacement for a proper DVI outputat least not yet.

Its small size makes it possible to avoid traffic jams and therefore it saves clients precious time. Fluidi works only with electric technology and is made of highly recyclable materials. It is a revolutionary means of urban transport and it is ecofriendly!Engineering, Industrial Design, Product Design2012
Scientific data demonstrates the deterioration of the air in buildings over the last 50 years. Chemical pollutants cause more and more health problems. Plants have the capacity to depollute the air and create oxygen. The idea is to design a modular green wall system where plants, water and light create an « interior lung » to enhance air quality and create a luminous positive effect on workers and users. The plants are carefully chosen for their detoxifying and aesthetic qualities, while the light is provided by ecoefficient LEDs.Engineering, Industrial Design, Interior Design2012
Ping Pong is a wireless cooking assistant that allows you to optimize your time whilst food is being heated. Sensors (the 'Pings') are attached to the cooking utensils in use. For instance, if you're cooking a soup, place the Ping transmitter on the pan's rim and take the Pong receiver with you to the next room. The Ping transmitter will send information on the cooking status to the Pong receiver close to you and so keeping you informed. The design is inspired by a vase full of flowers ensuring your new kitchen assistant looks good and puts a smile on your face.Engineering, Industrial Design, Product Design2012
Garden cultivation in cities is a real challenge for people living in apartments due to the shrinking living space. NIDA offers the opportunity to the modern urban society to grow their own gardens by utilizing public spaces designed for this purpose. Residents who want to grow their own gardens can borrow or rent a plot to the town. This new approach of garden cultivation in cities will benefit both the users, public pedestrians and the environment of the area. These urban gardeners will discover a new way of gardening, as having their personal gardens in public area is very uncommon. This is also a beautiful way to enhance public furniture with greeneries while the residents grow their own food. NIDA combines both functions and beauty; the recreation of agricultural activities while decorating the urban landscape.Furniture Design, Industrial Design, Landscape Design2012
"Six dix et six plis brillent" is a copper lamp that puts a great emphasis on the material and its specific features. The lamp takes advantage of the ductility of the metal to design its sphere-shaped module. This module naturally tends to come back to its original flat shape and thus applies a small pressure on each side that makes it mechanically fit in the disks located at each pole.
The lamp is thereby designed with only two different shapes in order to reduce the manufacturing process. No tools are needed, just the customer's hands to assemble the parts. When you live with copper, you see time impacting and transforming the product every day.
Time and oxidation that goes along literally continue working on the material and thus make the product unique to every user. The copper and its evolutions re-invent the product and redefine its dentity. To make sure this oxidation happen, copper undergoes really little surface finishing.
By focusing on the copper features and its evolution to endlessly re-invent its identity and reflect the flying time, this lamp is a great example of how material itself can at the heart of a product's function and identity.Furniture Design, Industrial Design, Product Design2012 -

The WarmNCool is designed for the convenient storing and heating of food. Divided in to two sections, the bottom container of the WarmNCool works just like a fridge by keeping left overs from dinner cool in an airtight. Simultaneously, the top section stores the heat generated from the thermo-reaction of the refrigeration system. Next day, when you want to eat your leftover food, the containers are switched and the thermo-electric batteries act like a microwave that then heats the food as required. WarnNCool comes in several different colors and is of a size and weight that makes it easily transportable from home to the office and beyond.Creative Direction, Engineering, Product Design2012

Nowadays, we drink coffee outside. We keep it with us in the street, in the subway until at work. The idea is to design a personal cup that is able to adapt to different times and at the same time to different areas where we savour it. By turning lightly the cork, the cup become hermetic so as so avoid the user to spelling while moving. Once enjoying peace and quiet, the cork acts like support and leaves to put the spoon. Alibi is composed to porcelain and coark that are two high recycle materials. Here is Alibi, a travel mug named after a latin word meaning "elsewhere", and created to make your coffee experience an even more overwhelming evasion.Crafts, Product Design2012
Whether the air conditioner is being used to heat or cool a place, the internal system produces a large amount of water due to condensation. All the air-conditioners on the market resolve this excess water by draining or evaporating it into the air. The idea is to avoid wasting this water, but to collect it and reuse it to grow grass horizontally. The main benefit is that it not only brings a touch of greenery to the environment, but purifies the air as well. A LED light located behind the frontrale window both indirectly illuminates the grass and creates mood lighting for dark spaces.Engineering, Furniture Design, Industrial Design2012
The "pelote basque" is a traditional ball sport played in the south of France. We revisited this unique formula, resulting in this unusual game called "Hook" that can be enjoyed by family and friends.
The rules are easy. By inflating the blue plastic area, the hand of the player is cushioned. Therefore, the "Hook" becomes an extension of the arm and the player has to control it in order to pass the ball. You can use it in three different ways: you can attack with the "Hook" (chistera), defend yourself with the backhand or stop the ball with the inflatable part. The "Hook" is made of moulded plywood and soft PVC.Game Design, Industrial Design, Product Design2012 -

Property tax hikes kept in check, but officials warn of looming cuts in services, education
The annual increase in property taxes — long bemoaned by most residents as an inexorable and painful fact of life in New Jersey — slowed to a trickle in 2012, a second year of historically low growth in the cost of local government.
In Bergen and Passaic counties, the overall amount demanded of property owners in tax bills that went out this summer and fall grew by less than 2 percent. There were some outliers, but the trend held true in the majority of the region's 86 communities.
Governor Christie's office praised the trend, hailing it as a direct result of the 2 percent ceiling on annual tax increases that he proposed and the Legislature enacted in 2010.
The numbers will no doubt play a prominent role in Christie's bid for reelection. As a cornerstone of his first term, Christie successfully challenged the notion that the cost of government — and most notably, the salaries of unionized public employees — was beyond the control of elected officials.
Officials throughout the region said they were able to comply with the law by tapping a mix of budget surpluses, one-time revenues, line-by-line cost-cutting and payroll reductions, all of which eased the burden of taxes that fund municipal and county services as well as public schools for 2012 and into 2013.
But they warn that cuts in academic programs and municipal services loom over the next few years as they run out of other options for holding down increases in tax levies.
"It will be very difficult, to say the least" to stay under the cap, said Raymond Herr, chief financial officer for Paramus. "You can't keep things level forever."
With blunter words, Hawthorne school Superintendent Robert Mooney said: "It's not even remotely sustainable."
The trend stretched across North Jersey, from upscale Tenafly, where the tax levy went up 1.9 percent, to the more modest quarters of Lodi, where it rose 1.1 percent. In town after town, increases sought in 2012 paled in comparison to those imposed in the prior decade, according to an analysis by The Record of property tax data for this year.
The results helped keep the increase in the typical residential tax bill to $100 in Bergen, from $9,232 last year to $9,332 this year, and $124 in Passaic, from $8,618 to $8,742, the analysis found.
To be sure, North Jersey property taxes remain among the highest in the nation and continue to rank among residents' foremost concerns. At a time when salaries and incomes are falling behind inflation, and the cost of owning a home consumes 25 to 30 percent of the typical North Jersey household's income, property taxes represent one of the largest expenses for most homeowners.
But in the previous 10 years, median residential property tax bills in most communities rose by $300 to $500 annually, with some increases running $750 to $1,000.
Governor Christie's office hailed the trend, noting that Trenton didn't just enact the cap law, it tried to help localities stay within the 2 percent ceiling by adopting cost-saving reforms to health and pension benefits and public-employee salary arbitrations.
Indeed, there are signs that some key underlying inflators of the cost of local government are easing. According to the state Public Employment Relations Commission, salaries in contracts it has on file for the first four months of this year show increases of less than 2 percent; that builds on a similar trend for all of 2011.
"The 2 percent cap is the law and must be met with limited exceptions; so it's working as intended," said Michael Drewniak, the governor's spokesman. "That's good and it's gratifying that municipalities have reset spending priorities and streamlined their operations."
State Senate President Stephen Sweeney, D-Gloucester, said the trend "shows that the cap … is working." He added that government "needs to be run more efficiently and at a reduced cost to the taxpayers of this state."
Nevertheless, local officials say they expect future pay raises negotiated with public-employee unions, rising pension and health insurance expenses, and the increasing cost of maintaining buildings and grounds to make it tougher to find places to cut.
"It's got to give somewhere," said Robert Finger, business administrator for the Teaneck schools. "[We], and probably every other district, will be saying: OK, we are staying within the 2 percent cap. But guess what? Courtesy busing is going away. Class sizes will increase. We will put off doing that new roof. And we won't be expanding the library."
As the debate continues, taxpayers welcome the trend, but some wonder if it goes far enough.
From two residents in Northvale, where the typical $9,453 residential bill and 2 percent increase echoed Bergen County-wide figures, the latest numbers drew a mixed reaction.
"It's less than I have to worry about paying out of my pocket. I'm a lot happier," said Robert Otworth, adding that he is pleased with what he gets in municipal services and school programs for the tax on his two-story colonial.
But a few blocks away, retiree Edward Kammer said even a small increase was difficult to pay.
"Even that little bit is a little too much," he said, noting that he objected to six-figure salaries made by some police officers. "I'm just barely making it."
Cutbacks, shared services
In its analysis, The Record found that:
Cost-control tactics varied from town to town and school system to school system, local officials say.
In some, payrolls were cut by reducing full-time employees to part time or by filling jobs vacated by retirees with lower-paid workers. Some left positions vacant.
Others used nuts-and-bolts measures: energy-efficient utility systems, shared services with nearby communities, centralized gas purchases for municipal vehicles or garbage collection contracts renewed at reduced rates.
"It's not really a headline grabber when a borough stops letting the volunteer ambulance corps buy their own gas, but those are the things that are going into stretching out the low increases for another year," said Frank Di Maria, auditor for Lodi and eight other Bergen County municipalities.
Still others used surpluses and short-term fixes to keep levies in check.
In Northvale, Councilman Pat Marana said the borough had unspent funds from the 2011 budget and money left over from completed construction projects. The borough also saved money by converting its public library to a digital media center.
In Teaneck, school officials helped keep the town's overall levy increase to less than 1 percent by using extra state aid in 2011, a budget surplus and a decision to postpone plans to install new lockers and upgrade school security systems, said Finger.
Higher local fees
Municipalities have also found ways to stay within the cap by increasing fees for municipal services, such as recreation, trash collection and water — moves that help balance the books but don't necessarily benefit taxpayers.
Christie and Sweeney are pushing to close that loophole by making fees fall within the cap. Sweeney introduced a bill in May and the Senate adopted it that month, but it hasn't moved out of committee in the Assembly.
A separate bill that passed the Senate last week and is pending in the Assembly would require local governments to share services when there is proof of cost savings. Voters would cast ballots on whether to share services and if they defeat the measures, the town would lose state aid equal to the amount of the projected savings.
Beyond the balance sheets, local officials said the weather lent a hand with a warm 2011-12 winter that kept heating and snow-removal costs down, freeing up money for other things. In the wake of superstorm Sandy, officials said they expected to recoup most of the cleanup costs with federal aid and insurance payouts.
But not every place was able to keep increases low, and in many cases officials made use of exemptions available under the cap law.
Leonia's 3.6 percent increase was driven largely by the need to pay off bonds sold to finance school building improvements, said school district Business Administrator Julia Perez.
In Bogota, a rise of just under 4 percent resulted partly from increases in pension contributions, deferred overtime expenses from 2011 and money needed to pay off bonds, said Borough Manager Leonard Nicolosi. He noted that a 2 percent increase in the borough's budget would barely pay for police raises.
And in the Passaic Valley Regional School District, which serves Woodland Park, Totowa and Little Falls, the property tax support required by the district shot up 9 percent mainly because of an unusually large 8.4 percent rise in enrollment, said Business Administrator Paul Gerber. That included a jump in the number of special-education students who require more expensive programs, he said.
One other factor that led to increases in Edgewater, Moonachie, Little Falls and Woodland Park, and declines in Englewood, Rockleigh and Paterson, was a reallocation among municipalities of levies required to fund county governments.
Looking ahead, officials predict that increases exceeding the cap will become the rule rather than the exception, unless residents are willing to accept service cuts.
"You can get by for a while with cutting expenses, but you've got to find ways to increase revenues," said Herr, the Paramus finance chief.
Others note a weak economic recovery, sluggish real-estate market and potential cuts in state and federal education and local government aid as additional obstacles.
"We're looking at hoping the economy kicks in," said William Dressel, executive director of the New Jersey League of Municipalities. "It kind of gives you a headache when you look at the prospects."

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
School is wonderful for my children. Small class sizes, caring teachers, before and after school care. Teaching them the fundamentals to help them learn and grow in a christian environment. At the end of the day, my children don't want to go home! They love it and its challenging! Writing cursive at a 1st grade level is great for those with occupational therapy issues! Very innovative and very caring! Teachers really care about their students!
Execellent school and curriculm! I am very pleased with my children's accomplishments, and they love the school! The principal tries hard and does and excellent job overseeing the classes and is very much 'hands on' with the classes and the children, sometimes even filling in for absent teachers. The programs the children put on several times a year under the directon of the principal are broadway material. As a growing and maturing school theey are doing a great job with our future. Keep up the good work.......... Did I mention my children are on a reading level far beyong their current grade level?
The school curriculm is excellent. The teacher's are excellent but they do not stay on staff very long. The prinicpal tries very hard, but could use more leadership skills. Excellent school, if you prefer very strict discipline for your child.
This school now goes to the 6th grade. There have been many changes. The first five years the school was exceptional, however many changes have taken place. They can't seem to obtain good teachers who have a burden for the children. The principal is newley appointed and requires more training in being an administrator.

Called home to Egypt
Back in November I wrote a tough blog entry about animal companions and how we as a species tend not to do right by them. I am here today to confess that even when you do the right thing, it hurts, devastates, and lingers. Back in November I wrote about "What's a cat worth?" and described the adoption fee for our newest addition to the household. I did not know then that so soon -- way too soon -- we would say Goodbye to that little squeaky black-and-white girl kitten we had known for less than a year.
I went into St. Andrew's yesterday to be a LEM with my heart broken. Our rector Alan asked me how I was ... and I tried to give him the steely-eyed Templar Can-Do description I had rehearsed on the walk downtown. Not a chance. I finally had to say, "And now I have to stop talking about it, because I have to be a LEM and I have to get to where I can do that this morning." Tears welled in my throat and my already swollen eyes started to burn again.
Almost like losing a child.
That Sunday evening I had a phone call from my mother with more sadness: the son of one of my favorite cousins had died unexpectedly at age 22, a handsome, vivacious young man, a senior, ready to get out there and live life to its fullest. He had passed away in October and now his dad was able to contact we more distant relations with the news. On Tuesday I got to talk to my cousin in person about the event and aftermath, the investigation (when young folks die on campus, there's always an investigation), and how my cousin was managing. "You just can't make sense of it," he said. "It was just bad luck."
In fact it was bad luck that took our little Squeak from us, way too soon. Coming up on four years old, barely out of kittenhood, as far as we knew from the adoption agency, she had never lived a happy, fully adult cat life in a "forever home."
Yesterday we received a sympathy card from our Vet hospital, and all the signees acknowledged that t was too soon to lose such a sweet girl. The only "comfort" that salvages anything from eith of these situations is knowing that whatever time my cousin had with his son, or we had with our Squeak, though way too short, was filled with the purest love.
And that is the best luck of all. Having a heart that can be so desperately broken is in fact the true blessing of the Creator. My cousin said: in his son's memory, live life, grab it with both hands, don't let go, be in it every minute. Having to make the terrible decision regarding the Final Intervention on the part of a beloved companion is full-spectrum Life.
As for our Squeak: through tears we rejoice that she has been called home to Egypt to serve the Great Goddess in her temple, as was revealed in that movie long ago, The Three Lives of Thomasina. She will stand in the mighty company of her ancestors the great cats and, we hope, give testimony concerning the two silly middle-aged women who gave her the "forever home" she finally knew. We will not fear that judgment.

Be a student for a weekend
For staff and faculty who work on campus regularly, MiniU is an opportunity to rediscover Queen's, says organizer Melanie McEwen.
"It allows us to open our eyes to what's happening here, to immerse ourselves in the excitement of learning, and discover the hidden treasures at Queen's," she says.
The idea for MiniU was born in 2004 after an alumni survey revealed a hunger for an educational element to campus visits. From there, Ms. McEwen, manager of Alumni Education and Outreach, started the research that led to the development of MiniU.
One school that Ms. McEwen and her team visited was Princeton, for its alumni weekend. There, reunion, convocation and educational panels are combined. And this year, with MiniU coinciding with Spring Reunion on May 22 to 24, the Queen's campus will be just as lively.
But where Princeton keeps its weekend activities limited to alumni, Queen's MiniU is open to anyone. And with the MiniU a la carte option, where single sessions cost only $20, it's accessible to everyone.
"MiniU is a great opportunity to open up Queen's to the community – and the Queen's-Kingston relationship can always benefit from more open doors. Sometimes I think there's a little bit of fear of crossing over into the land of students. But MiniU allows anyone to get a sampling of what it's like to be a university student for just one weekend, without the pressure and panic of exams," she says.
MiniU has grown since its debut last year.
"We've got more programming, even more sessions and more timeslots for sessions," Ms. McEwen says. Last year, MiniU ended with a whimper as attendees simply wandered away after the last Sunday sessions. This time, it ends with a bang – a closing luncheon (featuring celebrity chef and alumna Trish Magwood.) "It's a final coming together, as a group. We're also having an all-alumni smoker at the Queen's Pub."
This year, more faculty are involved. Finding them was one of Ms McEwen's favourite parts of her job.
"I talk to my contacts, ask questions and watch the news to see what neat things are going on, what findings are being announced. And for the faculty, it's a great opportunity to showcase what they do in an adult learning environment."
