Reader, it's Jane Eyre - Crash Course Literature 207
In which John Green teaches you about Charlotte Brontë's classic coming of age novel, Jane Eyre. Look, we don't like to make judgement values here, but Jane Eyre is awesome. By which we mean the book is great, and the character is amazing. When Jane Eyre was published in 1847, it was a huge hit. It really hit the controversial balance beautifully, being edgy enough to make news, but still mainstream enough to be widely popular. It was sort of like the Fight Club of it's day, but not quite as testosterone-fueled. You'll learn a little about the story, learn about Jane as a feminist heroine, and even get some critical analysis on how Bertha might just be a dark mirror that acts out Jane's emotional reactions.
"The Fight Club of its day." — love that.
Forget The Penthouse, This Drone Has the Best Views Of NYC
Despite all the hype surrounding drones (rumors that Amazon will be unleashing a drone delivery service among them), "drones are not what they seem to people who haven't played around with them," Slavin says. "They're just remote controlled quadcopters."
Forty years ago, Charles Faurot traveled from New York City to southwestern Virginia looking for older traditional banjo players to record for a tiny country music record label. The historic Clawhammer Banjo recordings have been reissued on CD.
This is a wonderful story about our long-time family friend Charlie Faurot, who saddly passed about last week. His legacy lives on in these amazing recordings of the Clawhammer Banjo history.

OH BOY! Cake books, or book cakes at the NYPL
In the sky there is nobody asleep. Nobody, nobody.
Nobody is asleep.
The creatures of the moon sniff and prowl about their cabins.
The living iguanas will come and bite the men who do not dream,
and the man who rushes out with his spirit broken will meet on the
street corner
the unbelievable alligator quiet beneath the tender protest of the
Nobody is asleep on earth. Nobody, nobody.
Nobody is asleep.
In a graveyard far off there is a corpse
who has moaned for three years
because of a dry countryside on his knee;
and that boy they buried this morning cried so much
it was necessary to call out the dogs to keep him quiet.
Life is not a dream. Careful! Careful! Careful!
We fall down the stairs in order to eat the moist earth
or we climb to the knife edge of the snow with the voices of the dead
But forgetfulness does not exist, dreams do not exist;
flesh exists. Kisses tie our mouths
in a thicket of new veins,
and whoever his pain pains will feel that pain forever
and whoever is afraid of death will carry it on his shoulders.
One day
the horses will live in the saloons
and the enraged ants
will throw themselves on the yellow skies that take refuge in the
eyes of cows.
Another day
we will watch the preserved butterflies rise from the dead
and still walking through a country of gray sponges and silent boats
we will watch our ring flash and roses spring from our tongue.
Careful! Be careful! Be careful!
The men who still have marks of the claw and the thunderstorm,
and that boy who cries because he has never heard of the invention
of the bridge,
or that dead man who possesses now only his head and a shoe,
we must carry them to the wall where the iguanas and the snakes
are waiting,
where the bear's teeth are waiting,
where the mummified hand of the boy is waiting,
and the hair of the camel stands on end with a violent blue shudder.
Nobody is sleeping in the sky. Nobody, nobody.
Nobody is sleeping.
If someone does close his eyes,
a whip, boys, a whip!
Let there be a landscape of open eyes
and bitter wounds on fire.
No one is sleeping in this world. No one, no one.
I have said it before.
No one is sleeping.
But if someone grows too much moss on his temples during the
open the stage trapdoors so he can see in the moonlight
the lying goblets, and the poison, and the skull of the theaters.

Becoming the Boss of Me: How I escaped the 9 to 5
I loved doing my job. But I hated the office environment & office politics so much that I spent years saving money & "scheming" a way out of it. :o) Next year will mark TEN years of me not working a 9 to 5. Of not physically being in any office. Meaning, no office gossip or other BS I don't miss. Call me the weirdo nerd, but people socialized SO much at work that it honestly annoyed me!
I was thinking, don't you all have other aspirations in life? There was so much focus on "he say, she say". And I was thinking, "really? Who gives a damn? How is THIS making you more money? Or getting you promoted to a better paying position? What a waste."
Since I was a long term temp and not an employee, BUT a respected worker, I actually created a job for myself. All so that I could work from home. Again, this goes back to the power in how you present yourself. This power move was a big step outside of my comfort zone and quite frankly my social status at the company. So I had to be convincing. I had to make a strong case for them to contract me as a freelance consultant. I took this potential job opportunity very seriously. And I made a strong case using a Powerpoint presentation showing what I COULD do for them & outlined exactly HOW I was going to do it. I came off fully competent and confident, because I knew what they needed and most importantly, what I wanted.
Now people can clown my professional voice and style all they want, LOL. But my presentation looked something like this video.
And you know what I left that boardroom with? A $50,000 contract for a project I could do from home. But wait. It gets even better. I had complete time flexibility—also known as autonomy. My project kept me disciplined and provided me a secure income while I built up my other business as a graphic consultant.
So basically, I had TWO great paying freelance jobs. When a graphic consultant gig came up? I could leave town immediately. I was no longer tied to a desk or schedule. Again, complete time freedom. The project I was contracted to do for $50k simply kept me busy until a graphic consultant gigs came up.
This nice setup made my transition into graphic consulting so much easier. I was never broke. In fact, cause I lived frugally? I saved $__loads of money.
I finally got health insurance and paid off old debts (because unfortunately I had screwed up my credit in college) It was awesome! And the best part about it all? Is that I felt so FREE. At 26 yrs old, I had learned the power of planning & professionalism. I'd trained myself to take INITIATIVE.
Hell, I had so much freedom & flexibility with my schedule that in the year 2004, I took a 5 week vacation to Europe. A backpacking budget trip on my own. I traveled to 8 countries and 14 cities throughout Europe. I traveled clockwise from Reykjavik, Iceland to Paris, France.
And that's when I realized. Yup, this is living. And I have to keep this going. lol. So I worked very hard (or smartly) and met all of my work commitments. My $50k project contract was renewed for a few years, so I continued working on that. Again, it kept me disciplined & working in between graphic consulting gigs. After a while I become known for my energy & professionalism in graphic consulting. I acquired BIG corporate clients. So many clients that the $50k side project became irrelevant (Look not bragging, just being honest, ok?) So I started thinking. Why make $XXX a day doing this when I can earn $XXXX+ a day with my graphic consulting career? It was simple math, really. :o)
Plus, years had gone by and the project was complete anyway. At this point they were paying me less and less because at this point I was just maintaining what I had built for them until they could hire someone else to do it in-house (fine with me!) lol
Eventually, I built up a regular clientele for my graphic consulting and I did the same annual meetings. I was earning money consistently. So I no longer needed the other job. Around age 28, I first earned a six figure salary doing my graphic consulting exclusively, even though I only worked about 1/3 of the month (7 -10 days a month usually).
So during all of this time do you think I was looking and dressing all FLASHY? Flossing expensive gear? Driving an expensive car? Living in a big home? Nope. I drove a Mazda-3 (which I had paid for in cash) and lived in an apartment. This was around the time I met Kevin. I was 28 years old, living in an apartment in Baltimore for $660 a month. No debt. Just trying to learn to manage money. Through Kevin I learned a LOT more about money management. I was pretty good at saving money, but he was MUCH better at investing & leveraging it. We figured we could make a good team. :o) So we renovated his home (something we'd both NEVER done before) & sold the house for good profit.
Mind you, we did all this AFTER we got married. Hell no! Neither one of us were going to combine finances until after marriage. LOL. ;o)
Shortly after that? Around 2009? I started doing the Youtube video-making thing. Mainly out of boredom in between graphic consulting gigs. And NOT for money. For the first 14 months on Youtube, I didn't earn a dime making videos. I started making videos in April 2009, but didn't become a full partner until July 2010.
But after realizing OTHER people were scheming to make money off me? (As in embedding my videos on their websites/blogs to sell products) I didn't like that very much. :-( Made me feel so used. It was like a demotion.
Totally frustrated, I was thinking, "I've come TOO FAR in life. I've Been TOO BOLD in my professional career to start acting like I have no ambition." And from that frustration? @luvnaturals was born. So around October 2009 I made the BIG decision to create @luvnaturals It was risky. But so was making myself a PUBLIC figure for FREE. LUV Naturals was launched on February 14th 2010, but I did NOT quit my graphic consulting job. I was basically moonlighting for an entire year.
Don't believe me? Well you can catch a blip of me at 3:00 in this video. June 2010. It was one of the last BIG meetings that I did. That NYC meeting was a crossroad for me for real. My graphic consulting earnings were PEAKING when I started LUV Naturals So the choice was hard!
I had to make a hard choice. Did I see a real future in @luvnaturals and Youtube? Because I was basically giving up $125,000+ yr salary :-/ I had to ask myself, "do I have the *stamina* 2 put up with Youtube? The good, bad & the ugly? How will it affect my life? My plans? Our plans?" The consistent success of LUV Naturals (even without products yet mind you) made a solid financial case for switching careers. And more importantly? I have a strong PASSION for it.
So here I am. LOL. I've just tweeted the last 10 years of my life. And I'm probably gonna go to #tweetjail for it. I'll just end it here. :o)

Nike Trainerendor Mid – Black – Laser Orange – Canyon Gold
November 7th, 2013 by Aaron Hope | No comments
The Nike Trainerendor has issued in mostly low-key colorways so far, but Poler's lowtop collaboration proves anything is possible. Here's a higher cut that might ranks among the most expressive yet, a Trainerendor Mid that uses the black suede base common to many colorways. Elsewhere, Laser Orange comes in to give these an energetic high contrast look, which is made to fit today's tonal trend with a Canyon Gold Swoosh. Look through some more photos below so you can decide if these are the best Trainerendors to date and stick with Sneaker News for US release info.

over thinking, over analyzing, over tired, over it
i won't apologize for who i am
Sometimes I wonder if I'm too independent for relationships. I like only having to look out for myself. I like not having someone that you feel obligated to be around. I like the freedom.
SO, I guess the point here is that if there is ever a guy interested in me he better still give me my space.
Prom was fun and all but way too stressful. It was a good one time event but I would not want to do it again. I was so relieved to shed all 10 lbs of my dress at the end of the night for my comfiest sweatshirt and sweats.

Marriott Hotel Achieves ISO 50001 Energy Management Standard
After DEKRA Certification completed an audit of the energy management system of the JW Marriott Washington DC Hotel, it presented an ISO 50001 certificate to the hotel in September.
The audit conducted by DEKRA verifies that JW Marriott Washington DC has implemented an energy management system, and that the normalized energy performance at the 1331 Pennsylvania Ave, NW location improved over the baseline.
Implementing ISO 50001 increased employee awareness of energy issues, encouraged behavioral changes to support energy management and helped the hotel develop achievable energy performance targets, according to the director of engineering at the Marriott hotel.
The purpose of the ISO 50001 certification is to provide an energy management framework for any organization utilizing energy resources in order to operate effectively. A process of improvement becomes part of the everyday culture.
DEKRA offers certification programs for ISO 50001 and SEP (Superior Energy Performance). DEKRA holds accreditation to ANSI, ANAB, and DAkks for Energy Management System certification.

I bought a Nikon Monarch 800 about a year and a half ago. Works quite well. I've repeatedly ranged "soft" targets out to 700+ yards and "hard" targets further yet. It doesn't have the angle calculator built in but I don't feel I really need it as I've never hunted from a tree-stand and don't have any inclination to do so (at least not at this time).

Chicago Film Fest to honor Poitier
Sir Sidney Poitier, KBE ( /ˈpwɑːtjeɪ/ or /ˈpwɑːti.eɪ/; born February 20, 1927) is a Bahamian American actor, film director, author, and diplomat.
In 1963, Poitier became the first black person to win an Academy Award for Best Actor for his role in Lilies of the Field. The significance of this achievement was later bolstered in 1967 when he starred in three well-received films To Sir, with Love, In the Heat of the Night, and Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, making him the top box office star of that year. In 1999, the American Film Institute named Poitier among the Greatest Male Stars of All Time, ranking 22nd on the list of 25.
Poitier has directed a number of popular movies such as A Piece of the Action; Uptown Saturday Night, and Let's Do It Again (with friend Bill Cosby), and Stir Crazy (starring Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder). In 2002, 38 years after receiving the Best Actor Award, Poitier was chosen by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to receive an Honorary Award, designated "To Sidney Poitier in recognition of his remarkable accomplishments as an artist and as a human being." Since 1997 he has been the Bahamian ambassador to Japan. On August 12, 2009, Sidney Poitier was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the United States of America's highest civilian honor, by President Barack Obama.

'Arrow' Finale Recap: Two Merlyn's Die
Arrow left off last week with Digg (David Ramsey), Arrow's sidekick, searching for an earthquake device that Merlyn planted in The Glades. Meanwhile, Arrow (Stephen Arnell) learns that Merlyn (John Barrowman) is the Dark Archer, which leads to a fight that not only knocks him out, but also reveals him as Oliver.
Last night, Arrow picked up with Oliver strung up with cuffs around his risks in a vacuous dimly lit room. Oliver unleashes some pent up vitriol at Meryln, who takes it all in the calm stride of a sociopath. "No one can stop what is about to come," he sneers, after expressing doubt that Oliver could ever defeat him. Oliver then seems to have a flashback to the island where he frees Shado and Slade as Fyers attempts to have a passenger plane shot down.
Back in the present, Oliver outmuscles the chains that are binding him, pulling them out of the ceiling. He then uses the chains to neutralize all of the guards except for one. Just as it seems that Oliver will be defeated, the faithful Diggs rushes into the room and takes out the final guard. He'd found Oliver via the tracking device in his boot.
Det. Lance (Paul Blackthorne) is questioning Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards), as he's suspicious about her activities with The Hood. However, when Arrow/Oliver calls and fills him in on Merlyn's plan to demolish The Glades, Lance leaves her to go inform his bosses. The police Lieutenant doesn't believe his improbable story and suspends him indefinitely.
After an angry Tommy (Colin Donnell), who's upset about Oliver and Laurel (Katie Cassidy) kissing, confronts him, Oliver tells him about his father's plans. Tommy, disbelieving of the accusations, says, "I wish you would have died on that island." Speaking of the island, there's another flashback where Oliver manages to re-direct the missle, which ends up destroying most of Fyers camp.
After Oliver tries to guilt Moira (Susanna Thompson) into helping him stop Merlyn, she gets a call from the villain himself who informs her that The Undertaking is getting sped up to that night. Then Oliver gets a visit from Laurel, who wants to know why he's being distant. They kiss and make up before he tells her he has to leave and instructs her to leave The Glades.
Chaos ensues when Moira announces Merlyn's plan on TV. She ends up arrested for being a part of the plot, and when police attempt to arrest Merlyn, he takes them all out with a sword. Tommy, now without a choice but to believe the things Arrow/Oliver said about his father, tries to stop him from escaping with a gun, but Merlyn easily evades him. When Oliver and Diggs arrive at Merlyn's office, they find him in his Dark Archer room. Oliver and Merlyn continue to fight as Oliver fires a bolt that Merlyn catches and has explode in his hand.
As their fighting continues, Det. Lance finds the earthquake device and Felicity attempts to talk him through disarming it – an attempt that's ultimately unsuccessful. It seems as though Oliver will also be unsuccessful, as Merlyn is dangerously close to choking him to death. But when he mentions his plans to kill Oliver's mother and sister, Oliver rams an arrow through his chest. Thankfully, Lance figures out how to disarm the device on his own just in time – but another device planted elsewhere goes off.
When the other device goes off, it leaves Laurel in a pile of rubble. Tommy rescues her and tells her he loves her as she escapes while the building collapses, leaving Merlyn's son with a steel pole in his chest. Before he dies in Oliver's arms he says, "I'm sorry."
Arrow, which has been renewed for a second season, will pick up again in the fall.

That was a great season finale and really established a lot of storylines to explore in season two. I work at DISH and several of my coworkers there were surprised that Tommy didn't make it, but it goes to show that nobody is safe on Arrow. I missed last night's finale, but caught up with it this morning since it was recorded on my DISH Hopper. I like to catch up with new episodes of my favorite shows at my own pace, and I can save them without worrying about space because my DVR holds up to 2,000 hours of entertainment.

This Chinese hospital has come up with a new take on the idea of the wheelie bin by fitting cleaners hired to empty bins with rollerskates to speed up the rubbish collection.
Park Fang who is manager at the Huaxi Hospital in Chengdu, in Sichuan province in south-west China said that they had been forced to cut the number of cleaners because of cost and also because the hospital was so large the staff that remained had been too slow to empty rubbish bins.
So they hired new cleaners with the one qualification being that they could rollerskate to a high standard and say that since then they haven't looked back. The new roller skater cleaners get paid 15% more than the old cleaners.
He said: "There were always too many cleaners here anyway marching backwards and forwards with rubbish and this way everything is done much faster with less staff. It's also fun to give people something to look at and nobody has to wait very long at all now for a bin to be emptied."
Lian Chen, one of the cleaners, said: "It is definitely the coolest job I have ever had. I get paid to roller skate eight hours a day and I love roller skating. The hospital is a great place to practice with lots of interesting things happening all the time."

But stay away from the back door and the only showers I take are by myself with hot water. Don't go there with me, don't ask me, it ain't happening.
So why in the HELL did he keep dating me??? Why marry me? Why be interested in me at all??? He knew he was a sick freak long before he met me. I have photographic proof. He knew I was not into what he was into. So why keep on with me?
You have hea rd it before, you can not rationalize crazy.
I am with the Scooby idea. Think you need a get together where everyone comes in and cleans/purges your house. Followed by burning sage and some sprinkling of holy water just to make you feel like it has been purified from his existence.
Seriously? Someone would record over Elmo or Baby Einstein? People do that?
And where's the last place you would look? He could be getting off on hiding it in plain sight.
Yea, I've seen way too much.
Here's where I found some--
In our shop he had some shelves which had a small base. They were under the base.
In our home we had a cabinet for the tv which had a base which was long. I found out the base was separate from the cabinet. Moved the cabinet and there was a small open area and movies were there.
In the closet in a box.
I rented a storage building for $25.00 a month and put all that stuff there.

The door to the crawl space is accessed from the unsecured backyard. And then one day last year that door - which is very tightly fitted and never came open by itself even in 60+ mph winds - was found wide open. No explanation I could think of
I would bet that those videos...if they exist....were taken with him and are not in your home.
I like the *Scooby* idea and think it would be a very well-attended g2g.
In my effort to be *concise*, I often come off as blunt and harsh. Sorry, don't mean to be offensive.
But..the crawl space..that you know he put stuff in...that you refused to go into,because of the spiders..the door that was found mysteriously open. It's there. The worst of it is probably there. He knew you would never go in there. That's where my WH used to hide shit..where he thought I would never go. The furnace was in the basement..and it was scary in there..other things I found out in the garage..old garage,hole in the roof,and his traps hanging from the rafters..scary..found shit in there.
Your EXWH scares the crap out of me. I worry about you and your babies.
..that feeling you get in your stomach, when you heart's broken. It's like all the butterflies just died.
Marriages that start this way, stepping over the bodies of loved ones as the giddy couple walks down the aisle, are not likely to last.
C'mon now NG, you know the answer -

Sending you so much strength. (((((Nature Girl)))))
"If you carry joy in your heart, you can heal any moment."

(bang for buck imo, let a "professional" look in the icky place whilst fixin it)
But I agree with nowiknow, I'm sure the door was left open because he grabbed the stuff quickly and hauled ass.
Another hiding place, (although not much room for more than something really small), is the space underneath a dining room table that has leaves in it. When you open up the table to add or remove leaves of the table, there is a little 'cubby hole' where something could be hidden. I had a friend that used to keep a very valuable gun hidden there.

I found some of XH's porn taped over the shows his dad recorded for us. Most were news programs (local) where XH had a segment. They were unmarked tapes mixed in with the kids videos.
Is freecycle.com in your area? Put a wanted add on it for a working VCR on it. You can also pic one up in a thrift store.
I like the idea of a g2g. You'll gain strength from having peeps understand what is happening.
He's too meticulous and calculating for accidents.
Getting Divorced
I didn't know he had porn in the house, but he admitted that he took it all out of the house the night before he went to treatment because he didn't want me to find it and think he was a pervert.
This makes me and . Why, oh why, are they so ashamed of what they are???? If you don't want your spouse to freak out & divorce you because you are a pervert, then don't hide this from your spouse before he or she becomes your spouse! There are plenty of pervert fish in the sea. Marry one of them!
Just thought of another place (only because I have one myself) is a lazy-susan cupboard. It would be a pain to hide something there but from what you've said about your XH, I wouldn't put it past him.

All affairs are variations on a theme. No one has 'Beethoven's 5th' to everyone else's 'Chopsticks'.
Now if I were demon-posessed squirrel, I would keep the teen anal rape video... in the kitchen, in a waterproof container that is itself immersed in a large vat of homemade spaghetti sauce. To ensure that my wife cannot obviate the need for my manly sexuality with porn (now *that* would be an unforgivable sin!), I would hide her sauce recipe! Take that! Now I and I alone am master of the porn-concealing homemade deliciousness and you can no longer live without me!

Last week, a judge in Arkansas struck down the state's ban on gay marriage and Gordon Klingenschmitt weighed in on the decision on his "Pray In Jesus Name" program yesterday to declare that no matter what any court rules, gay marriage will never be legal because it violates "the law of God." Saying that since both state governments and the federal government are subject to God's higher law, "it really doesn't matter what the state constitution says" because gay marriage "is still illegal in the eyes of God."

Earlier this year, the Maine Supreme Court ruled that local school officials had violated the rights of a transgender student by not allowing her to use the girls' restroom and Gordon Klingenschmitt was unsurprisingly opposed to this ruling, declaring on his "Pray In Jesus Name" program yesterday that what this student really needed was a spanking and an exorcism. Noting that Nicole Maines has an identical twin brother, Klingenschmitt declared that she was possessed by a demonic spirit. "One of those two boys is possessed by a demon," he said, "and the parents are... MORE >

On his "Pray In Jesus Name" program, Gordon Klingenschmitt discussed the recent shooting at a Fed Ex facility in Georgia, which he attributed to the fact that the facility was a gun-free zone, which is prohibited by the Bible. Klingenschmitt declared that the reason that Japan never invaded the United States is because "Californians carried guns" and warned that now the state "might be vulnerable to that" because the citizens are being disarmed. "There is a demonic spirit of murder and suicide and abuse" behind gun control efforts, Klingenschmitt said,... MORE >

The case is Town of Greece v. Galloway.

Klingenschmitt: Transgender Teacher Is A 'Pervert' Who Trying To Recruit Kids 'Into Sexual Perversion'

Last month, a transgender teacher in Texas was removed from the classroom after parents complained and, predictably, "Dr. Chaps" Gordon Klingenschmitt fully supports the move because there is no reason to allow "transgendered perverts to stand in front of children and recruit them into sexual perversion."

Brian Waters is the Dallas Cowboy most fans were on the fence about bringing in. Being a veteran player, people were not sure how to react to the signing. They say hindsight is 20/20 and in Waters case it definitely is. Brian Waters has come in and made the offensive line better. No more is quarterback Tony Romo completely running for his life and he actually has time to sit in the pocket and move the ball down the field. I like to think that this is the reason the Cowboys are scoring more touchdowns in the redzone this year than they have in previous years. It's a great feeling when you have a veteran who can come in and educate the younger guys all the while being an asset to your team.

Originally published in Interiors & Sources
Self-cleaning exterior coatings are looming. Other countries around the world are using the technology already, and the United States has a lot to gain from looking at how these coatings perform.
The technology behind these coatings does two things:
Purdue University researchers have created a simple coating for glass, concrete, plastics, and other materials that enables oily smears to be wiped away.
The polymer coating is 20,000 times thinner than a human hair and has two layers: a bottom layer of polyethylene glycol, which attracts water, and an upper layer of a Teflon-like molecule that repels oil. So, when oil – whether in a machine shop or a commercial kitchen – comes in contact with a concrete floor or a countertop coated with the substance, the surface resists the oil while attracting the water. "Water will just completely remove the oil; you don't need any soap," says Youngblood. "You prevent soaps from getting into the environment."
Youngblood says the coatings may be commercially available in a few years.
The researchers say their coating can also be added to window cleaning sprays to prevent bathroom mirrors, windshields, and other surfaces from fogging. A graduate student added the substance to a glass cleaner and sprayed it on half of his bathroom mirror; researchers turned on the shower and left the room. When they returned 20 minutes later, half of the mirror was fogged over and the other half was clear.
Although these coatings aren't prevalent in the United States yet, the benefits being seen by other countries are worth examining:
These coatings are designed specifically to reduce the frequency of washes necessary for the exterior of a building and, correspondingly, to drive down the cost of building maintenance. Because water is also saved in the process (the technology makes use of rainwater and doesn't require any water beyond that), the coatings are also environmentally friendly. Strong detergents, scrubbing, wiping, and high-pressure water jets aren't necessary, either, which extends the life of building exteriors. These items can cause damage to, and extra wear-and-tear on, the exterior of the building.
In Singapore (where the coating is currently being used), the surface of a typical commercial building is washed at least once a year. For some facilities, including shopping malls, exterior washing occurs as frequently as once a quarter. Every wash costs between $7,000 and $40,000, depending on the size of the building.
TiO2-coated tile and glass are also growing in terms of commercial use and offer the same benefits.
The bottom line: With this new coating technology, the surfaces of your clients' buildings will remain cleaner longer and with less hassle.

As the heat creeps up just enough for pool hopping and lake house hangs to finally become a part of our weekend plans, it also means that it's time to comb through our selection of swimwear for the season. I like to allow myself one bikini purchase every summer, because with all that chlorine and sand, it seems I have to throw out a swimwear-fave by the end of the season anyways.
After years of atrocious tan lines and swimwear experimentation gone wrong, it's come to my realization that a strapless, bandeau bikini is the one style that seems to look good on almost everyone. Now I know that every Cosmo mag in the world has suggested full suits for coverage, bra tops for support and stripes to add curves, but to everyone's surprise, I'm sure, the bandeau can actually accommodate many different body types as well.
If you are looking for extra support, a bandeau top with built in shape or underwires, along with a removable strap, is what you need. These are great for b and c cups as they will give you enough support and push-up that your curves won't fall flat.
If you have just started hitting the gym, but you feel like your tummy could use a little more work, choose this season's high-waisted retro styles. By stopping at the waist, instead of at your hips, this style will not only give you the coverage you're looking for, but will also make your waist seem smaller. This style is also great for women who have a more square shape as the higher waist creates the illusion of a more curvaceous frame.
For the ladies with smaller chests, you have two options. You can either go for a classic bandeau style, without any support, or choose one with a halter strap that will create more cleavage. If you choose the classic bandeau, look for added drama, such as fringe, bows or scalloped edges, to create a little more scale and interest to your top. All embellished styles will work as a bit of a camouflage, so that attention is drawn to the detailing and not your small chest. If your chest is smaller than an a-cup forget about underwires and built-in support as these will be hard to size properly and normally look a bit unflattering.
When looking for the perfect bikini, it's important to keep proportion in mind. If you are bottom-heavy, and this includes baby bumps, make sure you create more balance on your upper half. You can do this by purchasing bandeaus with padding or support, to accentuate your shape.

July 8, 2009 was definitely a bad day.
I won't go into too much detail as legal proceedings are ongoing.
But what started out as a good day with my Triumph Sprint ST went horribly wrong when a van driver was added to the equation.
The result was 24 days in hospital with one busted leg, one busted rib and one very busted beloved bike.

Five Things Weird Al Critiques in Mandatory Fun

The first cut on Tortoise'snew disc is a keeper. Or is it the second? Or maybe just part of the second -- the rocking part, before the twittering takes over. Same thing happens way into the disc, too. You have to wade through lots of pretension for the good parts. Tortoise's nervy, ambient musical forays are so cryptic, it's hard to tell where one track ends and the next begins. Not helping matters is the superficially verbal material on the insert that (a) says nothing about Standards, (b) says nothing about the musicians, and (c) is so self-referential it's like a love letter to a bellybutton. The textures are occasionally interesting, the pedigree undeniable. Since Tortoise formed in Chicago 11 years ago, it has released music that interacts with and influence folks ranging from Spring Heel Jack to Isotope 217 to Stereolab. This is music with smarts, for sure. But what the smarts apply to is anybody's guess, particularly when one track mutates into another in an anemic, unsuccessful attempt to build a mood.
Ambient music can be cool -- Eno proved that more than 25 years ago. Techno can be, too: Listen to old Orb, new Fatboy Slim, much of the electronic/world beat music from the Six Degrees label. Tortoise would have you believe it's beyond cool, what with producer-drummer John McEntire's endless trickling and his inability to resolve a song. Maybe this is called Standards because it's Tortoise's attempt to raise the bar of pop music to the level of cool jazz. It certainly is cerebral enough to disqualify it as conventional rock, and its restlessness is -- at least on an intellectual plane -- jazzy. Yet despite its glassy elegance (McEntire and his shifting collective know how to layer, though they resolutely avoid ensemble and intimacy), Standards is ultimately so geeky and pale, it's invisible.

This is another post in the naturopathy versus science series, where a naturopath's advice is assessed against the scientific literature.
It's Naturopathic Medicine Week in the United States, so it's time for another look at the alternative medicine practice that blogger Orac likes to call the One Quackery to Rule them All. Naturopathy is an oddity among alternative medicine, because it's a hodgepodge of other practices linked by an underlying belief in vitalism: the pre-scientific notion that living things have a "life force". Vitalism disappeared from medicine when Wöhler synthesized urea in 1828, yet the belief in vitalism is a central tenet of naturopathic philosophy. Naturopaths liken themselves to be primary care providers akin to family physicians (general practitioners) but their practices are quite different: rather than make decisions based on scientific evidence, naturopaths pick and choose based on what they feel is congruent with their vitalistic philosophy, sometimes despite good scientific evidence that shows they are wrong. For example, homeopathy is an alternative medicine practice that is very popular with naturopaths. It is an elaborate placebo system where "remedies" contain no medicinal ingredients: they are literally sugar pills. There is no demonstrable medical effect from homeopathy, and so it isn't part of science-based medicine. Yet homeopathy is a "core clinical science" for naturopaths, and the practice of homeopathy is part of their licensing exam.
Dr. Mike Evans is a Toronto family physician, a television and radio personality, and a health communicator whose white board videos have attracted millions of views. You may be familiar with 23 and ½ hours: What is the single best thing we can do for our health? which has over 4 million views and counting. Dr. Evans has just released a great new video on medication safety that outlines a very simple way to use medications more safely, and profiles the ways a pharmacist can help. Enjoy:
Amazingly, the store retains the memory of being a homeopathy shop and continues to heal. (h/t @bexielady)
The supplement industry wants you to buy their products, and they're not above using a little parental guilt to make you into a customer. In the photo above, the promoter is my local pharmacy, where the large window display caught my eye:
Give your Child The Tools to SUCCEED in School!
Who doesn't want their child to succeed? And if you knew a supplement could give you or your child a learning edge, would you consider it? I'd imagine many do. Supplements have a remarkable health halo. As a pharmacist myself, I've noticed this when speaking with patients – few consumers identify any potential risk or downsides to supplement use. Some don't even think of them as medicine at all. The marketing has resonated: Supplements are perceived as "safe", "natural" and "effective". But whether you're giving your child a prescription medicine to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or you're giving a supplement to "improve focus and brain function", you're still administering a chemical substance to a child with the intent of changing brain function. We'd probably think twice before pouring an unknown substance in our car's gas tank, especially one claimed to boost performance. We'd probably ask for some evidence that it works, and some assurance it wouldn't harm our vehicle. A decision to use a drug or supplement in a child deserves just as much consideration of benefits and risks. Continue reading
I've written more times that I want to about homeopathy, the elaborate placebo system of "remedies". It looks like medicine, and pharmacies stock it on shelves alongside products that contain medicine. But with homeopathy the common "strengths" or "potencies" of products are usually so dilute there's no possibility of a single molecule of the original substance remaining in the remedy. What's further, the original substance isn't medicine, either. They can be derived from from substances like Stonehenge (yes, that Stonehenge), shipwrecks, ascending colons, light bulbs, and even vacuum cleaner dirt. While homeopathic products are deemed "safe and effective" by Health Canada's Natural Health Products Directorate, the awareness that homeopathic products contain no active ingredients and have no medicinal effects has become increasingly well known. In 2011, I noted that manufacturer Boiron had been served by two class action lawsuit, and that this might be the beginning of a trend.
The legal action route seems to be having an effect – which is good, given pharmacies and even regulators have refused to act. Homeopathy manufacturer Heel has decided to exit the North American market completely: Continue reading
"Safe and natural." It's a marketing phrase attached to dietary supplements that's often accepted as self-evident. The marketing works. Supplements have a strong health halo. But evidence suggests that this reputation may be undeserved. Not only are there continued questions about whether most supplements have any health benefits whatsoever, there is also evidence that they can be harmful. We can't even be confident that what's on the label is actually in the bottle. Just two days ago I was notified of another long list of supplements and remedies that the FDA had identified that were contaminated with prescription drugs. These warnings about products sold as supplements appear regularly. Some time ago I asked, "What's in your supplement?", and noted that contamination and poor product quality standards continue to raise questions about whether supplements can be used safely at all, because the harms, when they occur, can be catastrophic. No matter how you feel about their efficacy, we can probably all agree no consumer should lose an organ from taking a health supplement. But it can happen. Continue reading
This is another post in the naturopathy versus science series, where a naturopath's advice is assessed against the scientific literature. It's a cross post from Science-Based Medicine, where the original post has (at last count) 436 comments:
When you think medicine, your first thought may be "physician". But the practice of medicine today is a collaboration, as few health professionals, even physicians, can deliver health care completely independently. As a pharmacist I've worked closely with physicians, nurses, and other health professionals my entire career. Collaboration starts early, and the setting is usually the teaching or academic hospital, which is always crawling with students, interns, and residents from all professions. Teamwork and trust are essential. In order for different professions to work effectively together, there has to be a common foundation. For medicine, that foundation is science. From basic science principles through a common understanding of fields like biochemistry and physiology, health professionals all work from the same basic understanding about how the body works and what the principles of medicine actually are. If I give a recommendation to a physician or a nurse, I'm basing that assessment on an evidence base that we both rely on. It's not "pharmacist evidence" versus "physician evidence", it's "medical evidence". This is reality-based healthcare. Continue reading
It's time for community pharmacy to stop selling quackery, argues pharmacist Anthony Cox:
Pharmacists have long been providing advice to prescribers based on evidence. Before EBM became widely used in the 1990s, pharmacists ran medicine information centres and answered complex drug queries using the best available evidence. Pharmacists were involved in the development of EBM and its propagation via drug and therapeutics committees, and more recently working with the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE).
By its very nature, pharmacy is an evidence-based profession in both primary care and hospital care and the industry is undergoing a period of change. Future models of community pharmacy practice that focus on management of long-term conditions will place an even greater reliance on EBM.
Well, that is the case with prescribed medicines. When it comes to OTC products, pharmacists' approach to evidence seems to be forgotten, with a "what the public wants, the public gets" attitude taking precedence.

Just finished up here at BYU football media day. Besides listening to the two sessions that were televised live on BYUtv and ESPN3, I interviewed more than a dozen players, former players, coaches and media types.
Got enough stuff for a couple weeks' worth of blogs, so keep checking back.
Easily, the biggest news to come out of today was coach Bronco Mendenhall's rather benign acknowledgement that he has signed a three-year contract extension.
Sounds like Mendenhall signed it last January, when his contract was close to expiring. Seriously, somehow it went unnoticed, and unreported, that Mendenhall was at the end of his contract when the Cougars were walloping UTEP in the New Mexico Bowl last December.
It was not a formal announcement by BYU, not part of the planned media day announcements.
I asked Bronco whether he was happy with his current compensation, given the fact that basketball coach Dave Rose got a new contract last March after leading the Cougars to the Sweet 16.
His reply:
"Tom wanted to announce it, and I asked him not to. I have extended [the contract]. I extended after last season for three more years.
"I am absolutely, 100 percent satisfied. I have been treated more than fairly. BYU wanted to make it longer term than that, and I am very realistic.
"There is a lot on the line, going independent. I want to be worthy of the position I have, and I am going to give everything I have for those three [years].
"I am not saying I won't go farther than that. I am hoping that's what is reported. It is not three and done.
But I am willing to lead the charge through independence, and then re-evaluate. "That's where I currently stand. But BYU has been fantastic and pro-active in everything they have done.
"I am treated very fairly and I am completely comfortable with that, moreso now than I have ever been in my career."
After scraping my jaw off the table I was sitting at, I asked Bronco why he didn't want it announced back then.
"As BYU's coach, there's enough attention. I just didn't want that to be another story. But I am completely happy here. I want to coach here as long as I am wanted, and as long as I feel like it is where I am supposed to be. It seemed like I was invigorated and so excited by the chance to continue to move the program forward.
"This idea of independence, many would have backed away from it. I am eager to be the coach to take it on. There's a huge amount of risk, but there's also a great opportunity for reward as well, and I am looking forward to that.
"I know the increased energy that it is going to take. I thought it was fair to our players, our institution, and Tom [Holmoe].
"I mean, how can you sign a 10-year deal? How does any of us know where they are going to be 10 years from now? So, just in fairness, three seemed... Three years in coaching, that's like dog years, kind of. Three years in a coaching life is like 21."
Mendenhall's last statement made it sound as if BYU offered a 10-year contract. But Mendenhall clarified that later, saying a definitive length was never discussed and that he suggested three years.
Told that Mendenhall had announced his own contract extension, Holmoe confirmed that Mendenhall didn't want it announced in January.
"We approached him, and typically with Dave [Rose] and Bronco, we have kept them on the same schedule, and we have renegotiated a couple times," Holmoe said.
"So, we went to Bronco and said, 'What should we do?' It was like scheduling. You know, 'Bronco, what do you want to do?'"
And that's what we worked out.
Would I have signed him to a five-year contract? Sure. If the terms were right."
So Bronco settled for three years when he could have had a longer deal?
"Yeah," Holmoe said. "He liked three years. I think three years is great."
That's all for now. More to come later.....
