A gorgeous, warm autumn day inspired my husband and me to take our hybrid bikes to the Rutland portion of the Central Mass. Rail Trail. The stone dust rail trail in this area crosses part of the Midstate Trail, DCR's Rutland State Park (near Whitehall and Long Ponds), and a portion of the DCR Ware River Watershed. The parking lot on Route 122 was our entry to the trail. A few stone benches can be found along the trail and there is a granite stone marker describing a major train accident that occurred in 1932 as well as a rail marker indicates 49 miles to Northampton.
Fall colors graced the trail and reflected in the ponds and cold water streams that crossed the trail. I smelled cooking fires from the state park and spotted a couple of mountain bikers on some adjoining trails. Though we encountered other cyclists, couples, teens, and young families walking, and even a group of horseback riders, the trail didn't feel a bit crowded.
We especially appreciated the recent cut-through tunnel near Rte 56 and Moulton Pond. It saved us from hauling our bikes up a steep embankment and riding up a good-sized hill to get to the next section of trail. Three cheers to Wachusett Greenways, the organization responsible for this most recent milestone! This group's determined efforts have kept expanding the rail trail's length and accessibility to all.
If you have the chance, take a hike or bike this lovely section trail in central Massachusetts. Go fishing in the stream or nearby Long and Whitehall Ponds, picnic at the state park or contemplate the lily pads and fall colors on the small ponds. Adventurous folks can explore a network of roads in the Ware River Watershed property, popularly referred to as the Prison Camps area. Hunting, hiking, fishing, biking and other passive recreation is permitted in this area. With the onset of hunting seasons, wearing a blaze orange vest or cap is a good visibility idea.

This application is a continuation of International (PCT) Patent Application Patent Application PCT/GB96/02212 filed 6 Sep. 1996.
This invention relates to a graft/stent system for use in human or animal surgery. One example of this type of graft/stent is disclosed in EP 0326426A, which describes an artificial blood vessel in the form of a tubular sheath having a ring-like member located at each of its ends. Another example, disclosed in EP 0461791A, is an aortic graft with one of its tubular ends divided into two branches.
According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a tubular graft/stent as specified in claim 1.
According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a tubular graft/stent as specified in claim 9.
The invention proposes a medical tubular graft stent which comprises a tubular sheath having at intervals along its length a plurality of ring-like members, wherein said members are attached to the sheath around their respective circumferences and are made of a shape memory material, so that when said members change shape, the sheath adopts a new cross-section in conformity with them along its whole length.
Preferably, this provides a compliant tubular sheath, into which a series of open rings are integrated. The rings act as rigidising members and are capable of being radially compressed by mechanical forces in the martensitic phase so as to reduce the diameter, and of then returning in the austenitic phase to a memorised, larger diameter by a thermal effect.
In a further aspect, the invention proposes a tubular graft comprising a tubular sheath having a branch tube which is sufficiently flexible to be inverted so as to be housed within the sheath during an insertion operation in a human or animal body, and to be redeployed as a branch after said operation. The sheath and/or the branch tube may employ annular rigid members of a shape memory material, as explained above. In all cases, the members are preferably discontinuous, e.g. a ring with a break so as to facilitate compression and re-expansion.
In order that the invention shall be clearly understood, several exemplary embodiments thereof will now be described with references to the accompanying drawings, in which:
An exemplary general arrangement is shown in
The compliant tube 10 can be generated by fabrication methods, or an �open� tube could be made by using flat sheets whose shape is established by the shape memory alloy rings. The tubular form might also use sheets of dissimilar materials. The cube may be produced in continuous lengths and cut off as needed.
The shape memory alloy rings can be retained by casting a suitable compliant material around the ring, by adhesive bonding, sewing or by generating a series of pockets within which the rings may be held by welding, sewing, mechanical fixation or adhesive bonding. In the embodiment shown, the rings 11 are in a single piece, but could be in two or more accurate sections.
The device described is suitable for a number of minimally invasive surgical techniques or may substantially reduce trauma associated with the introduction of implanted medical devices within a living organism. A single, plain tube (known as a tubular graft) with integrated expandable contractible rings (known as stents) as described is inserted into a occluded fluid carrying vessel or a vessel that has a structure. When appropriately positioned via the catheter, heat from the human body (or a heated fluid introduced) will cause the latent geometry of the shape memory alloy to be re-called. Under these circumstances the rings will expand to a pre-determined position as seen in
This device may find applications in surgical repair or maintenance procedure for the human body or other animal species. Gastro-intestinal system connections, oesophageal cancer, aneurysms, coronary by-pass connections and other vascular by-pass or shunt procedures could employ the stent/graft device.
The dynamic properties of the rings expand the graft/stent within the body to effect an opening of constricted or occluded vessel. The outer graft stent would assist in preventing occlusive material from once again entering the vessel. The complaint sheath will also exclude tumorous growth, maintaining luminal patency.
The tubular graft with in integrated shape memory alloy rings may be a simple tube-like form as described or could be a manifold system having a main tube 13 from which one or substantial numbers of connections 14 may be made, as seen in
A graft of the type described might be simply bifurcated or may have numerous smaller or larger tubes of similar construction, attached to the main tube body. The branches attached to the body of the device may have a similar shape memory alloy ring configuration. Each branch 14 can be inverted so as to fit within the main tube. Under these conditions, the whole assembly can be radially compressed, the manifold system now appearing as a single tube for initial insertion via a catheter. A suitable cord to 15 is connected to the inverted branch enabling it/them to be re-inverted by pulling the cord, as shown in FIG. 5. Preferably, the rings nearer to the main tube are largest and are progressively smaller towards the end, to allow the inversion to occur.
When warmed, the shape memory alloy rings will expand to a pre-determined position. If employed in a surgical repair, forces exerted by the shape memory alloy rings will be of sufficient magnitude to open an occluded vessel thus enabling appropriate fluid flows to continue.
The compliant outer sheath would enable radial or axial movement of the vessel to occur. This might be the case if the stent/graft were positioned in an osophagus that had radially disposed tumours. Peristalsis effects used to assist transportation of food and liquids in the human body would need to be maintained in oesophageal dysfunctional problems. The covered or sheathed stent system would exclude tumorous in-growth and still enable peristalsis to occur.
The compliant could be 0.050 mm polyurethane, polyester or polythene. The shape memory material may be a metal alloy with this property, or alternatively certain mouldable plastics materials such as homopolymers of lactide or glycolide, or copolymers of lactide and glycolide.
The invention is also considered to include a graft with a side tube which does not employ stents of shape memory material. Thus in addition to shape memory materials, the ring-like rigid members 11 can also be fabricated from elastic materials such as stainless steel or the super-elastic forms of nickel-titanium alloys. In this case the implant is constrained within in outer sheath after whose removal the graft will expand to adopt its final shape.
In the embodiment of
The overlap 20 can be designed to have one of three properties:
1) The overlap can be left to slide freely over itself, permitting the graft assembly to be contracted by muscles in the vessel or to allow pressure pulses in arterial blood, arising from the heartbeat, to be transmitted to the artery wall. The action of pressure pulses is involved in maintaining the vasomotor tone in blood vessels.
The mating surfaces of the overlapping part of the sheath can be coated to reduce friction and wear with materials such as PTFE or diamond-like coatings.
2) As shown in
3) As shown in
The ratchet-like mechanism can be incorporated onto the walls of the sheath by moulding, machining, or attaching ratchet components. Alternatively, the ratchet mechanism can be formed in the ends of the ring-like member and can be either permanently present or deployed by the action of thermal memory.
An implant can be assembled which incorporates a combination of all three types of overlap mechanism so that for instance, the distal ends of the graft can use ratchet expanding rings to lock the device in place, while the main body of the graft uses alternating sliding and diameter-limiting rings to allow limited transmission of pulsatility while restricting the maximum diameter of the graft.
The benefit of the graft can be increased by incorporating coatings onto its inner or outer surfaces. These coatings can be biomimetics such as phosphorylcholines and proteins, organic biocompatibles such as hydrophilic plastics and inorganic coatings, such as diamond-like carbon. The coatings can be used to be thrombus-resistant, encrustation resistant or to promote cellular ingrowth. In addition, the coatings can be used to release locally acting pharmacological agents and they can be multiply layered.
Deployment of the inverted segment 14 can be achieved by adding a short handle, tab or strip to the distal end of the side branch which can be engaged by a snare, forceps or similar engagement means.

In The Playoffs At Thanksgiving Means A Good Chance It Will Carry Over To April
11/28/14 at 10:41 AM ET | Comments (0)
from Ken Campbell of The Hockey News,
It's a fairly common belief in hockey circles that if you're in the playoffs by American Thanksgiving, chances are you're going to be in the post-season dance five months later.
So how does that notion hold up to scrutiny? Not badly, actually. But it would be very, very dangerous for the 16 teams that are in the playoffs to think they can basically put in on autopilot for the rest of the season. According to numbers crunched by thn.com over the past 10 years when they've actually been playing hockey on American Thanksgiving – something they didn't do in 2004 and 2012 – teams that are currently in the playoffs have a 77 percent chance of keeping their spots in the top eight.
When you remove the two seasons from the past 10 that did not include the extra point for a shootout win, the probability of making the playoffs goes up to 78.9 percent.

NHL Short Notes
11/28/14 at 10:31 AM ET | Comments (0)
The Flyers and Rangers will meet in the first half of a home-and-home series when they face-off in Philadelphia for the 2014 Discover NHL Thanksgiving Showdown at 1:00 p.m. ET (NBC, SN). The Rangers have won 14 of their last 18 regular-season matchups versus the Flyers dating to March 6, 2011, though the home team has won each of the past six contests. In their only meeting this season on Nov. 19th, Cam Talbot posted 31 saves in a 2-0 Rangers win. Flyers forward Jakub Voracek sits second overall in the NHL with 30 points (8-22—30), just one behind League leader Sidney Crosby while Rangers forward Martin St. Louis remains two points shy of 1,000 in his NHL career. The two clubs will complete the back-to-back set on Saturday afternoon at Madison Square Garden.
ICYMI: Hockey Hall of Famer and former Ranger Pat LaFontaine and recent Flyers Hall of Fame inductee John LeClair were aboard the Discover/NHL "Frozen Fall Fun" float in Thursday's Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York.

The Washington Capitals Under Barry Trotz
11/28/14 at 10:01 AM ET | Comments (0)
from Chuck Gormley of CSNWashington,
"We were outshot and outchanced last year and that hasn't been the case at all this year," Trotz said. "But we're not producing more goals at this point. We can have a little more of an interior presence."
The real positive difference this season has been where many believe it matters most -- shots allowed and goals against.
Last season the Caps allowed an average of 33.5 shots per game, which ranked 27th in the NHL, and 2.79 goals against, which ranked 21st. This season they're allowing 27.2 shots, which ranks fourth in the league, and 2.62 goals, which ranks 15th.
"If you look analytically, we're much better," Trotz said. "But we need more goals 5-on-5. That's the process. You fix one thing and something else goes. You fix another thing and something else goes. You're always chasing that, no matter what team you have."
Perhaps the best judges of the progress made under Trotz are the players themselves. Jay Beagle, who has been with the Capitals through four coaching changes the past four years, says the change has been more significant than the standings may reflect.

from Mark Spector of Sportsnet,
- ...do you think Minnesota and Dallas were both hoping for a little more production from off-season signings Thomas Vanek and Ales Hemsky? Vanek has one goal (11 points) in 21 games for the Wild, while Hemsky is still goal-less, with just five helpers in 21 games. Both are on three-year deals, with Vanek making $6.5 million per, Hemsky $4 million. And they have just one goal between them in 42 combined games.
- It's a great story being penned in Nashville, where the Predators have jazzed up their play, and sit atop the Central. Plus, they've got Calder Trophy favourite Filip Forsberg who came over in that trade for Martin Erat, a deal that GM David Poile didn't even want to make.
"Martin asked to be traded. He didn't believe in us anymore," Poile told the Edmonton Journal's Jim Matheson. "I had several conversations to try and talk him down. If Martin never came to me, we wouldn't have traded him at all."

Tyler Seguin On A Pace To Score 63 Goals
11/28/14 at 08:12 AM ET | Comments (1)
from Mike Heika of the Dallas Morning News,
Seguin leads the NHL with 17 goals in 22 games. If he continues that pace and stays healthy for all 82 games, he would score 63 goals. The Stars' franchise record is 55, shared by Brian Bellows and Dino Ciccarelli. The last time a Star hit 50 was Mike Modano in 1993-94.
"That's an incredible pace when you look at where the league is going," center Jason Spezza said. "It's impressive to get 40 goals in a season now. To get 50, you win scoring titles with 50."
It's heady stuff when you think about it. Seguin last season tallied 37 goals among 84 points in 80 games played. He was moving back to center after three years at right wing in Boston, and there were some growing pains. This season, he is moving effortlessly between right wing and center, and finding ways to get open no matter where he is on the ice.
"He's a real challenge to defend," said new Stars defenseman Jason Demers, who faced Seguin while playing for San Jose. "He's got great speed, and he can really find the open ice. And he has that shot."

"It's too early to get too tied up in the standings, but it's not too early to say, 'Where are we at as a group?' and we're under .500. That's not going to cut it. We need to be better.
"We're a better team than our record shows, and I think the biggest issue we've had is consistency. You're never going to be totally consistent. We all get that part. But our consistency, our highs and lows, have been just too extreme, and, within a game, within a period, there's just been too many down parts, whether it's 10 minutes, 8 minutes, 6 minutes. The way the game is now, as close as it is, you can't afford it. You really can't."

Blue Jackets Lacking An Identity
11/28/14 at 07:55 AM ET | Comments (0)
from Michael Arace of the Columbus Dispatch,
Tonight, the Jackets play the Vancouver Canucks at Nationwide Arena. The Canucks (15-6-1) have the second-best record in the Western Conference. They have found something. The Jackets (6-13-2) have the second-worst record in the league. They have lost something.
"When you've done something, it becomes an expectation and a standard, and we haven't been up to that standard," coach Todd Richards said after practice yesterday. "We have to expect that standard every night."...
What the Jackets are missing, though, is who they are.
"We haven't been able to find our identity," Foligno said. "It comes from the players. Not management, not coaches. It comes from the players, and it has to change."
The Jackets are fast and physical, and they have an aggressive forecheck. At least that was their identity last season, and the half-season before that.
"I don't know if camouflaged is the right word," Richards said. "It's there, but sometimes we can't find it."

Telecommuting: Was Yahoo doing it right?By LEANNE ITALIE
The Associated Press | March 06,2013AP Photo
A Yahoo worker walks into Yahoo headquarters in Sunnyvale, Calif., in this file photo. Marissa Mayer is going about her CEO business of saving Yahoo.NEW YORK Yahoos leaked edict under CEO Marissa Mayer that calls remote workers back to the office lit the Twitterverse on fire, angering advocates of telecommuting and other programs intended to balance work and home life.
A new study from the nonprofit Families and Work Institute shows a tide moving the other way, with more workers now telecommuting and men significantly more likely than women to be granted the freedom to work at least partially at home.
Left mostly unanswered is the question Mayer appears to be dealing with: Is that a good thing? Or has the rise in telecommuting led to a drop in productivity or creativity?
Chances are, one telework supporter said, the tech giant just wasnt doing it right.
If you dont know where your people are and what theyre doing, then you havent implemented properly, so shes got her hands full, said Kate Lister in San Diego, Calif., co-founder of Global Workplace Analytics, which collects data on the subject for its Telework Research Network.
Slogging through decades of research on the value of telecommuting is complicated. Small studies have been done by employer membership organizations, companies looking at their own ranks, consulting firms and government agencies, along with academics. Some use small samples, others rely on a wild array of statistics from the U.S. Census, the Small Business Administration or the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The verdicts are mixed and the research often so focused on a work force or issue related to flex options that its difficult to make conclusions.
The new Families and Work Institute study, on the other hand, deals solely with employers in the U.S., delving into a broad range of family friendly programs, policies and benefits. The institute found that 63 percent of employers surveyed allow at least some employees to work partially at home on an occasional basis. Thats up from 34 percent in a comparable study done for the institute in 2005.
More of the workers were higher-wage earners. Overall, the number of employees who work entirely from home was 3 percent, compared to 64 percent who sometimes do, said Ellen Galinsky, the institutes president and co-founder.
Galinsky was steadfast about one thing.
To take away all flexibility for everyone all the time is an overreaction, she said. If you know that people will be more innovative and collaborative by being together, that is a positive. But sometimes people need time alone. Why do the best ideas occur in the shower, or when were walking the dog?
Galinsky and others who study work-life balance dont anticipate a backlash among other employers due to Yahoo. And the company itself followed up an internal memo leaked to the tech blog All things D with a curt statement indicating the prohibition might not be forever.
Meantime, Lister said about 2.5 percent of the U.S. civilian population, or about 3 million people, work at home at least half the time, according to U.S. Census data. The rate of growth was slowed by the recession, with some researchers suggesting its flat at the moment.
Why isnt the number even higher? The biggest reason is that managers dont trust their employees, Lister said. Theyre still managing the 21st-century work force with 20th-century styles of commands and controls, back to the days of sweatshops and typing pools. They like to be able to see the backs of their heads.
Lister said 90 percent of teleworkers feel being able to work flexibly improves their quality of life.
But what about for employers?
The leaked Yahoo memo, said in part:
Some of the best decisions and insights come from hallway and cafeteria discussions, meeting new people and impromptu team meeting. Speed and quality are often sacrificed when we work from home. We need to be one Yahoo!, and that starts with physically being together.MORE IN National / World BusinessBRUSSELS European Union institutions are piling pressure on Google to change the way it...

Togo Women's Sex Strike: Women from Togo have been called upon to refrain from having sex with their husbands or partners for a week to demand reform. The ban has been called by opposition coalition Let's Save Togo, made up of nine civil society groups and seven opposition parties and movements, BBC reports. The groups are also calling for the resignation of President Faure Gnassingbe, the AP reports.
BBC: "Opposition leader Isabelle Ameganvi said that sex could be a "weapon of the battle" to achieve political change. "
"We have many means to oblige men to understand what women want in Togo," Ms Ameganvi, leader of the women's wing of the coalition, told the BBC. She said she had been inspired by a similar strike by Liberian women in 2003, who used a sex strike to campaign for peace.
"If men refuse to hear our cries we will hold another demonstration that will be more powerful than a sex strike," she added.

Where's the Reliant Robin Shuttle?
Also, missing Spacex's 'Falcon 1' and 'Falcon 9'. The latter is around the length of the Soyoz rockets (178ft) and the prior is a dinky little thing of 70ft.
You also forgot the one which everyone gets in their lifetime!!!!
You know the one!!!!
The rocket up yer a**se hehe!!
oooooooooooooooooooooo.... pointy.
On the first picture, third from right in the bottom row, the Saturn 3... I saw one of those launch, taking the second Skylab crew up. What a NOISE! We were several miles from the pad in a VIP bit, and the ground was shaking, and it felt like your chest was going to collapse. I thought they were closer in size to the Saturn 5... that would have been (more) awesome to see!

It could be the heat at the moment. Have you watered it enough? Would have needed quite a lot.
Help!!! Dove's right! But it isn't too hard to pull up.
I don't do much spraying, but liquid soap is better than washing up liquid which is a detergent.
I don't prune my Montanas much at all, only when they get dead bits or need tidying.
Justa will need hard pruning early spring to 20 - 30 cms. I think Montana has smaller leaves with a slight reddish flush and Justa has bigger, mid-green leaves so they may not be too hard to tell the difference, but next to each other, but far enough apart may be OK.
Morning all.
Dove, I had a baby in the summer of 76 too! She was born in March. I bought a paddling pool that we used to lie in under the copper beech tree. Once we went to the clinic and she was the only baby in a sundress with no blanket. The health visitor was taking blankets off all the babies in prams! In the 80°s!
Blackest, that's what my plumber says. Leave the heating on all the time in winter because if the house gets chilled the boiler will have to work harder to heat it up again. But I have a house with very thick stone walls which is nice and cool in summer, but gets very cold in winter.
A lot of water in hot weather does help, but they always tend to drop off when it's hot.
Wow, Fairygirl. We had the first big tomato for lunch. Had 3 Sungolds before that.
What, no one here this evening. Are you all still on Morning Forkers? I'm still finding it confusing and wish it was just Hello Forkers.
Hot again today. Picked 2 buckets of peas and spent 2 hours podding them while watchinf A - Z of Gardening and Hampton Court Flower Show (recorded). Think I'm off peas!
Made courgette and mint soup which we are having cold tonight, like vichyssoise.
That is lovely, Bob.
I do the steeping in vodka and sugar with raspberries too. Lovely in a Kir. Pour a little into a wine glass and tp up with white wine. Very popular here in France as an aperitif, especially with blackcurrant liquer and blackberry.

Overall, I thought it was a wonderful movie, very funny and very well done overall.
Rumor Has It: Do you ever get the feeling, when you are watching a movie, that you just wish they'd get to the point already?
Thus, with the notion that she might be the daughter of this man--she sets off to find the truth.
Well, not the finest film ever made to be sure BUT an interesting story line....good cast. Worth a watch if you are not to demanding.Published 1 month ago by onecompass
I know the critics panned this movie as having an impossible scenario. But I have to admit I did enjoy it!
It was Great to see Shirley McClain in another movie. Read more

Free Photoshop Plug-ins Collection Photoshop plug-ins are the add-ons that power a Photoshop user. They make a complicated task much easier & help creating amazing effects, designing faster & better. There are lots of free Photoshop plug-ins which can fire your skills. This post aims to present most of them (150+) in a comprehensive way. How to install Photoshop plug-ins? Photoshop plug-ins are .8bf files.
40 Incredibly Inspirational Retro & Vintage Photoshop Tutorials The memories of yesteryears invoke in us a sense of nostalgia as we long for the days gone by when life seems so much simpler. Technology was not as advanced as it is today, and things were changing at a slower pace. Retro and vintage years usually refer to the decades before our present day, up to the last century. Images of the early 1900s to the 1980s comes into mind as we think about the designs of this era. 35 Surreal Examples of Multiplicity Photography May 27 2010 Multiplicity is a photography technique in which the same person is photographed from different angles and directions and then the bunch of photographs are digitally re-mastered in Photoshop showing clones of the person doing different things all in one photo. Today we present 35 Surreal Examples of Multiplicity Photography to inspire you. Photography and Photoshop go hand in hand. Multiplicity Photography is the real test of your patience as you may have to work for hours to get the right shots mainly because of different angles, props and clothes used in pre-production. And finally when you have the images, you have to work on different techniques (blending, layering, curving etc) in Photoshop to paste all the images in one single photo.
DSLRs are a dying breed – 3rd Gen Cameras are the Future "'To take an interesting photo, some may choose to carry around a lot of metal and glass and mirrors and silicon. I choose to carry around less metal and glass and silicon. Oh, and no mirrors.' – Me, quoting myself." – Trey Ratcliff Interview about the Sony NEX vs. How I Know I Love You I know I love you because I want to get you soup when you're sick. Not only do I want to get it for you, I want to make it for you so you can eat something made with love instead of with crushed insects and preservatives. I know I love you because I want to slap anyone who hurts you, even if it's your boss. I want to hold you when you're having a nightmare and kiss the spot that hurts when you bump into something.
Web Applications Products, Mobile Applications Products, Mobile Games flauntR flauntR is a free online suite of digital photoediting tools that provides a range of features that are typically only been available in expensive photoediting software. RIA Application build on Adobe Flex The FlauntR RIA (Rich Internet Application) application has been widely cited as an example of intuitive user interface design and use of cutting edge technology. The FlauntR interface engineered using Adobe Flex, Flash and J2EE technologies has been featured on Flex.org and the Yahoo Gallery among others. Photoshop CS4: A Picture Worth a Thousand Words I love Photoshop techniques that offer all kinds of possibilities for experimentation—and the following tutorial is a perfect example of one of those techniques. In this issue, we're going to take a portrait and replace the person's image with text (think 2009 Grammy posters). Pick a portrait that offers good contrast—a photo that's very dramatic and dark probably won't work as well. I've had the best success with straight-on head and shoulder shots, but again, feel free to experiment with all types of photos.
Night Photography Tips and James Bond If you're thinking about taking photos at night the 'usual' way – deleting 75% of your photos because of camera blur or excessive darkness… Alas, after several hours slaving in Adobe Illustrator (I'm no graphic designer, I'm a photographer, dang it!) here is your friendly Night Photography Tips Infographic! Oh yeah…and if this helps you in any sort of way, feel free to share it to someone else it could help. This Photograph Is Not Free So this was the first sunset I captured in 2012. It cost me $6,612 to take this photo. $12 in gas to go from work to this spot and then home. The camera I took this with cost $2500. The lens was another $1600. The Singh Ray Reverse Neutral Density filter was $210. 45 Life Lessons, written by a 90 year old 1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good. 2. When in doubt, just take the next small step. 3.
Pixel Spreadsheet | Think Maths Microscope image of an iPhone screen.It really is just a spreadsheet. Digital photographs are actually just spreadsheets. When you take a photo, your camera measures the amount of red, green and blue light hitting each pixel, ranks them on a scale from 0 to 255 and then records those values as a spreadsheet. Matt Parker found a way to actually open digital photos as spreadsheets in Excel. The process involves cracking the digital photo file open, scraping out all of the numbers and putting them into the cells of an Excel spreadsheet.
Sequences re-visited from SBC Skier magazine » Dan Carr Photography - Photography Product Reviews + Ski, Snowboard and adventure photography tips Apologies for the lack of updates in the last couple of week, it's been busy times here in Whistler. Today I'd like to post some sequences that were shot last year for SBC Skier magazine here in Canada. The first four were to be used for "Trick Tips" , where a pro skier describes how someone would go about performing that trick. The fifth sequence was not shot for that purpose, but it was run as a double page spread so I thought I'd throw it in the mix too. For anyone wanting to know how to create a sequence photo in photoshop I did a video tutorial on this a while back which I will re-post at the bottom of this article. I might re-do this tutorial over the summer to upgrade it to an HD version so if there is anything you want clarification on please leave a comment below so that I can address it in the re-make!

You've probably seen the trailer for Common's upcoming film Just Wright. However, you may not know that Common also has a new album, Go! (Common Classics), scheduled to be released May 25, which features some classic hits and brand new exclusives. One of those new tracks featured on the album is Next Time (Just Wright), which also brings on his movie co-star Queen Latifah and production by Kanye West. For some, the beat and name may sound familiar; it was released earlier this year as a track that didn't make Finding Forever, but this version has all new verses. Using a sample from The Moments' The Next Time That I See You, (for all you crate diggers) the production is real soft and laid back, and with Common's new lyrics and already smooth flow over the beat, it's hard not to just sit back and enjoy the dynamic duo of Ye and Sense. Personally, this will be put on my morning shower playlist (don't judge), but what do you think? Do the Chi-town emcees plus the Queen's vocals equal a hit?

Stephen Tobolowsky
One of Hollywood's Most Well-Known Character Actors
Stephen Tobolowsky? Email us Give Us a Call
Few people know his name, but just about everyone recognizes his face. Impossibly, Stephen Tobolowsky is both a Hollywood outsider and an insider. He is a screenwriter, playwright and director, has been nominated for a Tony for Best Performance by a Featured Actor, co-wrote the film True Stories with Talking Heads frontman David Byrne, and he wrote and directed Two Idiots in Hollywood, based on his play. He is also the subject and star of the mesmerizing cult hit documentary Stephen Tobolowsky's Birthday Party, which was named the Best Comedy and Best Documentary at the Los Angeles HD Film Festival.
Stephen Tobolowsky's Birthday Party Revisited
Stephen Tobolowsky is a cult phenomenon like no other. In talks that are funny yet touching and mesmerizing yet relatable, he shares poignant life stories, not just from the sets of his movies, but from his eventful life. Whether he's being kicked in a piranha tank by one of Hollywood's biggest stars, being held at gunpoint in a grocery store, learning the true meaning of courage from an unlikely young man, meeting old friends under new circumstances or being mistakenly chosen as one of L.A.'s "coolest people," Tobolowsky's true subject is how we interact with one another. His emphatic and crisply-told stories--all of them true!--form a moving picture of life in America.
The Dangerous Animals Club
The Dangerous Animals Club is a beguiling series of stories that woven together form the story of a man in the middle of his life reflecting on life's many mysteries. Parents raise children and then pass on, a girlfriend embarks on a theatrical career with Stephen and then breaks his heart, animals—dangerous and docile—come and go, toes are smashed and necks break, and children are born. Small incidents are later revealed as momentous turning points. Woven through these tales are lessons in quantum physics, Jewish mysticism, and stagecraft. Told in a unique voice and with a spiritual inquisitiveness, these tales have charmed live audiences and podcast listeners—and will charm a whole new audience on the page.

Echoing Al Marks' letter in The Times on Friday, the recent property re-evaluations leave something to be desired. I generally support the idea of reassessment, particularly for properties that have not been assessed or sold in a long time. But what is the logic for assessing properties that have very recently been sold, instead of using actuals?
Well, it happened, just as predicted. Lake property owners in Hall County (there's about 7,000 of us) got zapped with property re-evaluations that, in many cases, doubled and in some cases went even more.
Upon returning home from Vietnam and service in 1967, the only welcomes received were from family and friends. Monday, I participated with my recently joined Vietnam veterans group in the Memorial Day parade. The echoes of welcome home were extremely emotional and gratifying. Thank you, America.
To the East Hall High School faculty and staff:
Joe and I wanted to thank the Gainesville community for their unending support to our daughter, LeeAnn Noble, and us over the last five months. There were so many areas of support right from the beginning of LeeAnn's recent medical journey and eventual death.
On behalf of the Gainesville-Hall County Meals on Wheels program, I would like to thank Hall County Commission Chairman Richard Mecum, Commissioner Jeff Stowe and Gainesville Mayor Danny Dunagan for their recent participation in the delivery of a meal and hope to homebound seniors in Gainesville and Hall County.
I have been robbed, not by a back-alley mugger, but by the Obama administration and his fellow muggers, the Democratic Party. Let me elaborate.
The recent column, "A well-aimed veto from Deal deserves applause (Tom Crawford, May 7)," ignored numerous benefits provided by the private probation industry in Georgia. Probation companies deliver a cost-effective and valuable service that enhances public safety, while supervising approximately 250,000 probationers and working with more than 600 municipal, state, probate and superior courts.
Ten days ago, residents of Gainesville were told by the mayor that our government must be used to condemn the Pierce House (at the corner of Jesse Jewell and Queen City) "as quick and cheap as possible," and that scores of citizens, who had gathered over the Lanier Plaza rezoning at the city courtroom, must "get on out of here, we (the council) have business to take care of."
There is a cruel and simplistic mentality among some politicians that poor people desire to be poor, or they simply don't work hard enough. What they don't realize is a lot of poor people work multiple jobs, but still can't make ends meet.
On behalf of the State Bar of Georgia, I wish to congratulate Gainesville attorney Julius Hulsey, who received the Judge A.R. Kenyon Award, and John Lucas of the Hall County Misdemeanor Probation Office staff, who received the Liberty Bell Award, during the recent Law Day banquet sponsored by the Gainesville-Northeastern Judicial Circuit Bar Association.
Thank you to Sue Sigmon-Nosach, who volunteers to provide transportation to cancer patients in the Gainesville area after her own treatment for ovarian cancer in 2004 ("Driver of Love: Cancer Survivor gives rides to patients, says volunteers are needed," May 14 article).
Last week, President Barack Obama made his election year gloom-and-doom pitch on global warming (anything to take the heat off Benghazi). This should come as no surprise. Sen. Patrick Moynihan was warning Nixon about this in the 1960s and President Bill Clinton gave a speech in 1997 almost word for word saying what Obama said.
A recent letter writer suggested that everyone should read the seminal work promoting gun ownership, "More Guns Less Crime" by John Lott. The book, based on a study done in the early 1990s, and the author have been so thoroughly discredited that only those who are rabidly pro-gun cite it anymore.
Why do some critics of the new gun bill call it the "guns everywhere" law, then turn around and ask why the Capitol building does not allow guns? Can't they make up their minds? Are guns allowed everywhere or not? (For example, Tom Crawford's column on April 30).
This time of year we begin hearing about the "War on Christmas," as the nonreligious seek to enforce the constitutional separation between church and state. Others talk about a "War on Thanksgiving" as early shopping begins to infringe on family time and Thanksgiving time. But there's another war far more displeasing to God, at least according to Jesus.
Many thanks should be extended to all the local restaurants who provided free dinners to veterans on Veterans Day. Such a positive, supportive attitude only serves to strengthen the community and the country. A week later, I was impressed to see a restaurant in Buford extend the honor by providing literally hundreds of free dinners to local veterans.
This is in response to Joan King's recent attempt to display her superior wisdom. I thought her forte was climate change, but now she's scolding us all for not embracing President Barack Obama's nightmare health care plan. Where's she been this past year?
Reply to Clarence Lusane column of Nov. 11: He is correct when he says the election was not a mandate for a Republican agenda. I disagree that it happened because of a "pervasive anti-Obama drumbeat" or "incessant Republican pounding." It happened because the American people are mad.
According to President Barack Obama, the citizens of the United States are not exceptional. Also, he claims we are no better than any other country on this planet.
I have a 16-acre sheep farm on Coker Road. One recent evening, a 16-year-old boy hit my fence driving 80 mph, as he told police. He and his friend, who was also 16, were going home from East Hall High School.
On Nov. 10, three men, one of them a Hall County Sheriff's deputy, were injured in a crash at Spout Springs Road and Union Circle. Thankfully none of the men suffered anything worse than a minor injury. But anyone driving in this area with any regularity knows how dangerous this intersection can be. The fact that there are not more accidents at this intersection is astounding.
In her recent letter, Mary Young seems to refer to the 9-11 attacks during the Bush administration as if they constitute a justification for the war in Iraq. Neither Saddam nor Iraq was involved in those attacks. She also attempts to justify the war by pointing to past history, including Saddam's use of gas against Iraqi Kurds. The U.S. sold Saddam that gas. I have to wonder, who does she think the U.S. intended the gas to be used on? As suppliers of WMD, we are complicit in that crime.
President Barack Obama left his domestic woes behind to take a foreign policy trip to China this week. He met with the leader of China in a private meeting to talk about Chinese-U.S. relations and trade policies. The American press was allowed total access to the meeting and to take photographs of the occasion. It was interesting to see pictures of the world's most powerful dictator standing next to some Chinese guy.
Family is the most important organization in time (on this earth) or in eternity. God Himself organized the first family on earth. He created all of us as His spiritual children and thus His spiritual family. Family is very important to Him. "What God hath joined together, let not man put asunder."

- 1 pound box 10x sugar (4 cups)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons boiling water or more
- 1/4 teaspoon peppermint oil or any other flavor desired
- food coloring
- granulated sugar
Combine ingredients adding flavoring last. Cream well with hands until consistency of pie dough. If too sticky, add a little extra 10x sugar. Chill about 15 minutes. Roll into small balls. I used candy molds to shape the mints. Roll the balls in granulated sugar then press into the candy mold-sprinkle the back of the candy with some more granulated sugar the release the candy from the mold onto waxed paper. For chocolate candies-flavor with 2 TBS. cocoa and 1 tsp. vanilla Allow candy to sit out uncovered to harden about 8 hours. These freeze well. Makes about 80 candies. I used small rubber candy molds like snowmen, Christmas trees etc. for the holidays. You can make any shape for any occasion, these are pretty and tasty.
