Bionic body parts and new pharmaceuticals may be easier to develop with the launch of a new Australian device that can see what's happening at the atomic level.
The Inphaze impedance spectrometer, which is the size of a shoebox, uses electricity to detect the structure of samples at the nanometer scale, and could replace larger measuring devices which cost hundreds of millions of dollars.
Speaking at the launch of Inphaze, University of Sydney Biophysics and Bioengineering director, Professor Hans Coster, said the spectrometer was unique because it provided a level of resolution not previously obtained by impedance spectrometers.
"With this instrument we can picture things with electrical currents that we cannot see otherwise. We have been able to resolve structures down to atomic dimensions, down to seeing the addition of a single carbon atom," he said.
According to Prof Coster, the spectrometer will help the emerging science of nanotechnology.
"Nanotechnology is now a big thing. These layers are very thin ... and to study their structure, and how they change when you add things to it, are fundamental to understanding these devices. To see these structures you need very precise measurements," Prof Coster.
"Another 'hot' area is the creation of hybrid materials which are half semi-conductors and half biochemical, spawning the next generation of bionic devices that can be implanted in the body to detect various diseases and toxins, or that could also act as environmental sensors."
Inphaze managing director, Dr Ditta Bartels, also believes the device could be used in the biomedical industry.
"We can look at what goes in and out of cells and what adheres to cell membranes, and these are vital approaches in drug discovery. It could lead to major breakthroughs," she said.
Prof Coster said the first prototype was developed 15 years ago, and its popularity lead to its redesign and mass manufacture.
"We decided to commercialise the instrument, because we had a constant stream of people coming to make measurements and do collaborations to the point where we couldn't handle it."

Bounty Agro Ventures, Inc.
Bounty Fresh – Asia's Best! This is not just a slogan for a marketing gimmick. This is simply a statement of fact. Winner of numerous prestigious national awards in the poultry and livestock industry for the past several years, from Product Quality Excellence all the way to Consumer Services, the Bounty Fresh Group upped the ante and bested the leading and world renowned poultry and livestock companies in Asia and won the 2009 Best Poultry and Livestock Company Award at the 2009 Asian Livestock Industry Awards held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, in the categories of Technological Excellence, Food Safety, Marketing Excellence and Industry Leadership.
A member of the Bounty Fresh Group of Companies, Bounty Agro Ventures, Inc. (BAVI) is the poultry integrator company in the Group together with sister company Bounty Fresh Food, Inc., that carried the Bounty Fresh Brand to the entire archipelago. BAVI is presently ranked 207th among the top 1,000 corporations in the Philippines.
Owned by the Chen family, BAVI was incorporated in 1997 with initial operations in Cebu and Davao. In 2002 the company launched into full operation as poultry integrator covering provincial Luzon, and the whole Visayas and Mindanao. It engaged the best qualified professionals in the industry and embarked on a program to modernize operational capability and market expansion, led by the current President and General Manager, Ronald R. Mascariñas, a product of the country's premier agri-business institution, the U.P. Los Baños and the Asian Institute of Management.
The operations of BAVI has a nationwide business network of nineteen branches and two sales offices across the country with over 60 distributorships, and fully supported by over 600 broiler contract farms with total capacity of 11 million birds, 15 hatcheries, 10 feed mills, 21 poultry processing plants and 2 processed meats plants. Owned by individual business partners under contract or tolling arrangement, these facilities are closely supervised and monitored by BAVI, creating a highly efficient supply chain in poultry integration and further extending the business and economic impact of BAVI'S enterprise. The company adds value in the supply chain by organizing and providing technical assistance to each part of the supply chain, making sure that the business interests of each part of the chain are reasonably served.
The company's processing plants have been conferred by the National Meat Inspection Service (NMIS) as the best and cleanest processing plants in the country for the last four years with consistent Triple A ratings. In layman's language, BAVI processing plants have been coming out with the cleanest and the best quality chicken in the country for the last four years. And for the last four years the Bounty Fresh egg is the market leader for table eggs, and Bounty Fresh is likewise the market leader in the layer genetics business.
In 2008 BAVI launched into the oven roasted chicken business under the "Chooks To Go" trade name, completing the entire integration cycle of the poultry operations, from the farm to the dinner table. Today BAVI is the country's number one rotisserie chicken chain with more than 1,000 rotisserie stores nationwide, and retails more than 100 million chickens a year. No other poultry integrator in the country has accomplished this feat.
BAVI has also gone beyond selling the usual complement of dressed chicken products and has developed a line of processed products under the Bounty Fresh brand. The processed business line includes hotdogs, cold cuts, nuggets and sausages, and plans are in place to strengthen the company's product line via new product introductions in the coming months.
In October 2010, the Chairman of the Board of Bounty Agro Ventures, Inc., and concurrent President of sister company Bounty Fresh Food, Inc. Mr. Tennyson G. Chen was named Entrepreneur of the Year 2010 and Master Entrepreneur, in the highly prestigious and much coveted SGV Foundation's Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year awards "for his outstanding leadership, melding innovation and quality to secure Bounty Fresh's position as one of the country's largest and most reputable food producers. Under Mr. Chen's steady hand, the company revolutionized the broiler chicken production industry and pioneered many of the systems now being used by the country's poultry integrators."
Today, Bounty Fresh is Asia's Best.

BAFTAs Fugs and Fabs: The Lightbox Purge
Behold, everyone else! Lots of celebs skipped this event — no Jennifer Lawrence (she's filming Mockingjay), no Julia Roberts (for obvious family reasons), no Sandra Bullock (don't know why) — but there's still plenty to ogle.
BAFTAs Well Played: Joely Richardson
Okay, nobody is wearing bracelets anymore, apparently. Is there a devastating bangle shortage in Hollywood? Do we need to throw a benefit concert at which The Bangles will play, bewailing the near-extinct wrist jewelry and the cruel anti-arm movement that has extinguished it? Will they sing "Walk Like An Egyptian" and add in several referenced to the fact that doing so would require a lot of bracelets IF ONLY THERE WERE ANY TO BE HAD? Because I will promote that gala.
That said, I like the gown. Maybe that's kooky of me, but the massive spiky sun made me smile. She looks glamorous and different and, indeed, like she's fond of the Ancient Egyptian art of gilded drama. And she also looks like someone who might bring stuff in her bag for doing people's Zodiac charts in the powder room, which would be totally fine with me as long as she stacks the deck for ol' Leo a little bit and stops telling me things like, "Check with your cell phone provider this month to see if you can get a better plan." BORING.

BAFTAs Well Played: Laura Carmichael
The Downton ladies do love their Erdem.
And with good reason. Despite the fact that it anagrams to merde, that is perfect on her. It NABs (technically that should be just NAB, because it'd just be "Needs A Bracelet," but I've decided that with our acronyms it's the Wild West up in here and I'm getting cocky with my pistols), and the shoes look a tiny bit more like a bedroom fetish she couldn't remove without taking the skin along with it. But it's nice to see Edith looking happy. I'm sure Laura Carmichael does just fine in real life, but to compensate for her alter-ego's travails, I find myself wanting her to squire around town the most absurdly hot person of her desired gender that she can find. The BAFTAs are a good place to start shopping.

BAFTAs Fug Carpet: Imogen Poots
Let's award points for the color.
I am then going to retract said points for the torso triangle, the bandaged effect around it, and all the little fangs hanging off her waistband — perhaps they are icicles, in an ode to the polar vortex — as well as for the fact that she looks like she's trying to re-conceptualize the hula. Don't take the grass skirts and coconut bras away from young ladies who need Halloween costumes. It's unkind.

BAFTAs Fug Carpet: Alicia Vikander
This one is from the Chanel show that Karl Lagerfeld did in Dallas, and I've decided he's punking us with it.
It feels more like a vaguely Southwestern screen-saver that someone put out in 1999, to try and combat the appealing hilarity of Flying Toasters. Or a Tex-Mex ballet — Swan Lake Travis, say, or Cinderalamo. Pick your poison. Just don't actually consume it, like she did.

[Go to the new RI Healthcare Reform Web site: www.healthcare.ri.gov]
On January 13, 2011, Governor Lincoln Chafee signed into executive order
the Rhode Island Healthcare Reform Commission, with over 100 professionals
from the healthcare community in attendance at the Rhode Island Foundation.
"We want Rhode Island to be a national leader in terms of implementing
federal healthcare
reform, with the overall goal of accessible and affordable healthcare
for all Rhode Islanders. This commission, led by Lieutenant Governor Roberts,
who has decades of valuable experience with healthcare-related issues,
will be a key step toward achieving these goals," Governor Chafee
Along with the lieutenant governor, the executive committee is comprised of the health insurance commissioner, the director of administration, the secretary of the executive office of health and human services, and the Governor's policy director.
"I want to thank Governor Chafee for taking the proactive step of establishing this commission. This is an important day for all Rhode Islanders, and I am ready to lead this initiative and look forward to the important and challenging work ahead for all of us," said Lt. Governor Roberts.
Many of the health experts and stakeholders from the Healthy RI National Health Reform Implementation Task Force are participating in the new commission. The commission will develop and implement action steps, timelines, and assignments of lead responsibilities for all healthcare reform efforts; maximize stakeholder and public engagement; assure open dialogue with the General Assembly; identify and remove barriers to and develop incentives for critical healthcare; and identify workforce capacity and training needs in the private and public sector.
"The Healthcare Reform Commission will expand the efforts of the task force to ensure a more accessible and affordable healthcare system. Our goal is to maximize the benefits in the law for all Rhode Islanders, while identifying and addressing any challenges," said Roberts.

by Marie Lu
My wife is a Youth Services librarian so our place has a constant flow of contemporary young adult books coming through. My relationship with reading a lot of youth fiction sort of ends in the late 70's, but when I saw a hard cover copy of Legend, by Marie Lu (2011) sitting on the top of a stack on the coffee table, I was intrigued enough to pick it up and give it a look. I was still reading half an hour later when my wife got home, and I finished it in a few days (confession: I am a bookaholic and thus have to discipline myself against reading entire books in a sitting - nothing else tends to get done).
So by my introduction I guess I've revealed that this will be a fairly positive review. Ms. Lu's book will be tough to describe without giving away too much, and almost anything is too much as the richness of this world is doled out with a nuanced rhythm that at the conclusion makes you painfully grateful there is a sequel (a trilogy, actually). The story begins in an unknown future time in Los Angeles, immediately recognizable as dystopian. There are two alternating narrators, both 15 years old, one male and one female, from very different circumstances, yet both prodigies of a kind. From the beginning, the author draws you purposefully into this well-imagined world, showing the reader the details that make up the story and avoiding heavy-handed exposition. I wouldn't describe the pace as relentless, but nearly so. I was able to put the book down, but not for long. The main and supporting characters are well drawn, and especially the two protagonists, make us care about them right away. I can't say enough positives about the world Ms. Lu created, as she reveals more and more detail, the reader realizes that this story stretches both forward and backward in time.
Ms. Lu credits Les Miserables as her inspiration for Legend. This and other allusions (including a lovely Dickens' one), plus fantastic plotting, pace and characterization, make this book eminently readable for any age, 12 and up. It's an obvious read-alike for Suzanne Collins', The Hunger Games, and it will surprise no one that the film is forthcoming - and this story will make a great movie.
Starry River of the Sky
by Grace Din
The Chinese folklore and fantasy combination made this really interesting for me.
Loki's Wolves
by K. L. Armstrong
Kind of a Percy Jackson but for Norse myths. It has a lot of plot twists and sad parts, but mostly is happy. SPOILER: I love Baldwin and its just so sat what happens to him! Cannot wait for the sequel
Princess of the Midnight Ball
by Jessica Day George
This book is an amazing book! It's a retelling of The Twelve Dancing Princesses, and it's full of fun and adventure! I would say this belongs in the YA section, and it's the first book out of three in Jessica D. George's Princess series.
The supernaturalist
by Eoin Colfer
My book review
The supernaturalist is a very good book by Eoin Colfer. It is fast paced story and the characters are excellent. The main theme of the book is that the supernaturalists (a bunch of kids and a lab mistake) go out and blast these blue creatures called parasites. The parasites suck the life out of dying things. The main character is Cosmo Hill, he was an orphan in Satellite City . A huge satellite controls everything in the city. The orphanage is an awful place, the boys are tortured to death (in the way of medical and chemically harmful testing). Cosmo must escape but when he does he finds himself in the midst of a complicated web of mayhem. Ok now you know enough…..go read the book!!!!!!!!!!!

They took part in several activities on the farm including a tractor and trailer ride, woodland walks and feeding the animals. We spent a morning with each […]
We spent two fun filled days at Sealyham Activity Centre last week with some young carers. On Thursday we took the primary school pupils to Sealyham for some camp craft and sailing. Then on Friday the secondary school pupils went coasteering at Abereiddy followed by some rock climbing.
On Saturday 3rd Decemeber we spent the day at Heatherton world of activities with a group of young carers aged 12-17. The morning was spent completing the high ropes adventure course, the afternoon was spent on the various activities that Heatherton offers such as archery and lazer clay shooting.
Yesterday we took a group of 16 young carers to the museum in Cardiff. They were given a behind the scenes tour of the Entomology and marine departments…
We took a group of young carers to Oakwood Theme Park on the weekend. Oakwood kindly gave the group free admission and gave us a behind the scenes tour of Drenched – one of the parks biggest rides.

Infra-Red Filter
Name: Ricordo A. Status: Other Age: 40s Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: November 2002
I am a life scientist trying to set up a red light source that does not include infrared radiation. Other than using LEDs or special lamps, is there a common material one can use as a filter? Water absorbs infrared, but it also absorbs red. Same with copper sulfate solutions. I have heard that gold-coated polycarbonate safety goggles might do the trick, but I cannot find any "absorption" spectra for gold. Do you have any suggestions?
I would think that a simple prism or optical grating from Edmunds Scientific or other suppliers of science "stuff" would work well. A beam of "white" light would be diffracted by the prism or grating according to wavelength and with an appropriate arrangement of slits you could choose which wavelength you wanted. The infrared radiation would be scattered at a different angle than red radiation (~700 nm) and could be blocked from the target you are illuminating.
Vince Calder
It appears that a gold thin film might not quite work. You can see a reflectance spectrum for gold at http://www.thermo.com/eThermo/CDA/Technology/Technology_Detail/1,1213,-10333 -109,00.html; note that the reflectance shoots up between about 500 and 600 nm, so it will take out the red with the IR.
It is true that water absorbs red, but not strongly. A column of water even a few feet thick will transmit most red light. If you are willing to spend some money on a filter material, the absorption bands in heavy water (D2O) are shifted from those of water so that its minimum occurs in the red rather than the blue.

We're getting ready to paint the exterior of our house. Part of the house is existing Hardy Plank and part is new Hardy Plank. Does the old plank need to be prepped other than pressure washing?
What's the best way to caulk seams in the plank? What's the best paint? I've read SW Duration, BM Aura or Lowe's Valpar? |

I've heard Duration paint is the best, hands-down. It's more expensive, but I've had 2 different paint experts tell me about that particular brand and it's the only one they use on exterior jobs now. I'm about to get the masonite siding taken off my house and replaced with preprimed Hardiplank and I specified the paint to be used has to be Duration. I'm trying to pick my color now. As for caulking, I don't know anything about technique, but as for a product I've been told that Sherwin Williams "Sher-max" is the one to use as it is an elastomer caulk that will last and last. Good luck! |
We used Ace Brand semi opaque stain and it worked wonderfully. It's an oil based stain, but it lasts forever. |
- Posted by brushworks (My Page) on Wed, May 27, 09 at 10:53
1. Hardy Plank cannot be stained. 2. James Hardie does not recommend the use of caulk at field butt joints. 3. For Caulking. For best results use an Elastomeric Joint Sealant complying with ASTM C920 Grade NS, Class 25 or 4. DO NOT use stain on James Hardie® products. 5. DO NOT use stain or oil/alkyd base paints on James Hardie® products |

Excellent info, Brushworks. Thanks! |
- Posted by kntryhuman (My Page) on Wed, May 27, 09 at 15:49
Thank you very much for the information. We decided to use Duration from Sherwin Williams. I didn't realize there was a time limit on getting it painted. We're putting the siding up ourselves and it's taking forever. I'm glad I didn't start using the wood filler I bought for the joints. I'll have to get the Elastomeric Joint Sealant |
- Posted by overmyhead08 (My Page) on Wed, May 27, 09 at 23:22
Brushworks, you wrote: "2. James Hardie does not recommend the use of caulk at field butt joints." I had read this in the instructions while my HardiePlank was being installed and was not sure what it meant. Please explain. If caulking field butt joints is not recommended, then are the gaps between the joints supposed to be left gaping? I know my installer filled the seams with caulk/sealant. |
When I watched the installation video (which is online) they recommended using a felt paper flashing behind each joint of the siding. Basically it's just a rectangular square of felt paper that you nail under the joint so that any water that might get between the joints will run out on the flashing paper. You might want to check out the installation video. |
SW Duration. I painted my house with it last year. I used the satin finish. Has a bit of a sheen of course but I like the way the rain runs off it. It's great paint. I went from gray to tan in one coat pretty much. I am sure I would have had to use 2 coats with cheaper stuff, even their cheaper stuff, well worth the extra cost. The stuff is thick but goes on really nice. Don't use to thick of nap on roller, it gets too heavy and wastes a lot of paint. I think I used 1/2". |

Whether in Southern California, Oxnard, Santa Maria or Watsonville, crews are harvesting California strawberries somewhere in the state 12 months a year.
The Watsonville-based California Strawberry Commission is playing up the crop's year-round availability and versatility with this year's consumer campaign, "Just Add California Strawberries," said Chris Christian, vice president of marketing.
The effort relies on both social and traditional media and will feature four big public relations pushes: National Nutrition Month, March; National Strawberry Month, May; summer entertaining, July; and National Diabetes Month, November.
The campaign includes 12 well-known food bloggers — one for each month — who will share their recipes that include strawberries. The goal is to expand consumers' use of the fruit beyond just a fruit salad or short cake ingredient.
The commission also is hoping the bloggers will help reach a younger audience — between 20 and 40 — as well as English- and Spanish-speaking consumers.
Before the digital age, groups like the strawberry association hired professional recipe developers to craft new ideas for their commodity.
But today food bloggers do it all — develop and test recipes, shoot images and YouTube-type videos, and promote the recipes to their followers on social media, including Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Instagram, Christian said.
"It's a really good, cost-effective thing for the commission," she said. "This way we can get more recipe development and get more fresh ideas."
Because the recipes are posted on the commission's social media outlets as well as those of the bloggers, it benefits from the bloggers' additional social media followers, Christian said.
Tied into each month will be consumer recipe contests and giveaways promoted on the commission's social media sites.
This year, the commission also will host two special blogger events, where about 20 of the most influential national writers will be invited to tour a strawberry farm, participate in a question-and-answer session with the grower, and taste different strawberry dishes prepared by local chefs. The June event in San Diego County will feature food truck fare, she said.
Throughout the tour, bloggers will update their followers through tweets, posts, videos or pins all using the same hashtag.
Hashtags allow followers to search and view posts on a particular title or subject regardless of author.
"It's a very highly interactive event," Christian said. "It's real time. People around the country who follow these bloggers have never been to a field. This way they can hear and learn. It's a great way to get people more engaged with the food they eat."
The commission also works with three registered dietitian bloggers: David Grotto, Sylvia Melendez Klinger and Mitzi Dulan.
They contribute throughout the year, not only with informational articles but also with recipes they've helped develop.
Pairing with nutrition educators makes sense, since strawberries play well into healthful eating plans as well as diets for diabetics or weight management, Christian said.
"Strawberries have some of the lowest sugars of all fruit," she said, citing American Diabetes Association data. "It's one of the top superfruits with only 7 grams of sugar per serving, so it's quite a bit lower than other fruits."
Research conducted on behalf of the commission also found that consuming the red berries helps improve insulin resistance.
Because these benefits are not as widely known as the commission would like, Christian said it's conducting an outreach campaign to health professionals, especially diabetes educators, as well as consumers.

vegetable & mushroom phyllo strudel's
January 20, 2013 in baking, recipes, vegetarian
I was inspired to make this recipe for a few reasons. The first being when I cleaned out my chest freezer I found an oldish roll of phyllo pastry which needed to be used. The second was seeing a recipe on Pinterest for a vegetable strudel which looked stunning and sparked the idea of a savoury strudel. And the third was needing to clear a few leftover veggies lying around my fridge because I hate wasting food.
My original intention was to add feta to the veggies, but I forgot to put it in, but this would make it even nicer and more of a complete vegetarian meal.
To check out information on how to make these pies and ways to handle phyllo, visit Drizzle and Dip.
This is a perfect and complete vegetarian supper, but can also be served as bit of a showy side dish for any meat, chicken or fish.
I look forward to connecting with you again
Visit my Drizzle and Dip Facebook page to get updates of all my posts.
I can also be found enthusiastically pinning beautiful food images on Pinterest.

Steve Jobs' $197 million super yacht "Venus" has been literally CHAINED to a dock in Amsterdam by Dutch authorities ... after the ship's designer claimed the Jobs family stiffed him on $4 million in unpaid wages.
The designer -- Philippe Starck -- claims the late Apple founder had agreed to pay him a fee that equaled 6% of the ship's building cost ... back when Jobs commissioned the yacht in 2009 ... but no formal contract was ever written up.
Starck claims the yacht cost roughly $197 million to build -- entitling him to an estimated $12 million fee.
But the Jobs family insists the boat only cost $138 million -- meaning Starck deserves no more than $8 million.
Starck has since obtained an Amsterdam court order, requiring the family to pay the $4 million balance ... or the massive 260 ft yacht stays chained to the dock.
FYI -- the boat was only launched a couple months ago. Jobs passed away in October 2011.

no, definitely not phlox, for sure, there was dianthuses deltoides near it, and I noticed that it was very similar but with sharper and longer leaves. The vendor said it isn't dianthus, and said other name (a nice name it was, I remember that I liked it but somehow have forgotten). |

Hampton the Hampster singles chronology | ||||
The Hampster Dance or Hampsterdance is one of the earliest examples of an Internet meme. Created by Canadian art student Deidre LaCarte for a Geocities page, the dance features rows of animated hamsters and other rodents dancing in various ways to a sped-up sample from the song "Whistle Stop" by Roger Miller.
Canadian art student Deidre LaCarte, who was competing with her best friend and sister to see who could generate the most traffic, designed the Hampster Dance in August 1998 as homage to her pet hamster, named "Hampton Hamster."[1] Using four simple animated GIFs of hamsters and other rodents, repeated dozens of times each, and a loop of background music embedded in the HTML, at the time a fairly new browser feature, she named the site Hampton's Hamster House and had Hampton declare his intent to become a "web star". Initially, the website consisted of a single page with four hamsters and other rodents, later redesigned and dubbed Hampton, Dixie, Hado, and Fuzzy. Over the next few years, alternate versions of the Hampsterdance appeared, such as for birthdays, where the hamsters are slightly modified to hold presents.
The clip, a 9-second looped WAV file, was taken from a sped-up recording of Roger Miller's "Whistle Stop", a song written for the 1973 Disney animated feature film Robin Hood.[1]
Until January 1999, only 800 visits were recorded (about 4 per day), but without warning, the number jumped to 15,000 per day. The web site spread by e-mail, early blogs, and bumper stickers, and was eventually even featured in a television commercial for Internet service provider EarthLink. It became a common office prank to set a co-worker's browser homepage to the website, which led to televised news reports furthering popularity to an international level. The continued popularity of the site led LaCarte to a professional redesign, and the addition of an online store for T-shirts and CDs of "Hamster" music.
LaCarte failed to register the Hampsterdance name, and for some time the hamsterdance.com domain was owned by humor business Nutty Sites. Initially, hampsterdance.com was used, and later hamsterdance2.com. Fans of the site created variations on the original dance, using politicians such as Dan Quayle and Cynthia McKinney as well as household objects such as Pez dispensers and lung X-rays.
Popular culture[edit]
The "official" Hampsterdance Song was produced by The Boomtang Boys, recreating the Roger Miller hook and adding additional rap-style lyrics. The track was used in the 2001 film, See Spot Run. This followed another track that originally featured the same sped-up sample, "Cognoscenti vs. Intelligentsia" by The Cuban Boys. The single, whose commercially released version featured a sound-a-like sample (the band having failed to gain permission to use the original), along with a number of other short voice samples from classic B-movies forming an abstract vocal line in lieu of a regular lyric, peaked at #4 on the Christmas 1999 UK singles chart.[2] In 2005, CNET named the Hampster Dance the #1 web fad.[3] In 2010, Matthew Wilkening of AOL Radio ranked the "official" Hampsterdance song at #79 on the list of the 100 Worst Songs Ever, stating that "This annoying-on-purpose, chipmunks-on-speed bit of nonsense was the grandfather of today's 'Rickroll.'"[4] The song was also featured in the 2005 film Are We There Yet? starring Ice Cube. In 2009, a clip of the song was featured as Miley Cyrus' character's ringtone in Hannah Montana: The Movie.[5]
Charts and sales[edit]
In Canada, the "official" Hampster Dance song was released as a single, featuring a trance music backing. The video was declared worst or cheesiest video of the year by MuchMusic in the one-hour special Fromage 2001. It stayed for two weeks in the Canadian Top 40, peaking at #32.[6] In Australia, "The Hampster Dance Song" was also released in 2001, credited to Hampton the Hampster. The song reached #5 on the ARIA singles chart and spun off follow-up releases and videos, such as "Thank God I'm a Country Boy" (a cover of the John Denver song, reaching #12) and "Hampster Party" (reaching #44).[7] It also reached #70 on the U.S. Hot Country Songs charts.[1]

108 Bruce to Curtin
Cablegram 72A LONDON, 11 June 1945, 6.15 p.m.
Portuguese participation in operations for the recapture of Timor.
You will recall Dominions Office telegram 72 of 13th March [1] stating that the United Kingdom Government wanted to suggest to the Combined Chiefs of Staff that the Portuguese Government should be invited to send to Australia a small training Cadre and later an Expeditionary Force, and that Australia would provide accommodation and training facilities. The Dominions Office added that the Portuguese were very short of shipping and might therefore be unable to take advantage of the proposed offer.
In your telegram 92 of 14th April [2], you replied stating that the matter was being examined by the Government's Service Advisers and a further reply would be forwarded as soon as possible.
Since then, you will have had Dominions Office telegram 130 of 28th April [3] and my 55A of 2nd May [4], also my 63A of 23rd May stressing the desirability of an early reply. [5]
Eden now tells me that our failure to reply is causing the United Kingdom considerable embarrassment. He pointed out that the United Kingdom and the United States could go ahead with the Portuguese generally, leaving this particular question open, but in view of the fact that Australia has played so prominent a part in the discussions from the beginning, this would be unfortunate.
An atmosphere of suspicion is being created with the Portuguese, as I sensed when I went to see the Duke of Palmella [6] last week with our reply about the appointment of a Portuguese Charge d'Affaires to Australia (my telegram 71A of 7th June [7]).
Our agreement in principle over the Cadre will probably not impose any heavy burden on us but it may well prove to be a useful gesture, particularly with a view to [8] Portuguese about the future of Timor.
I told Eden I would telegraph to you, and I strongly recommend an early reply to the Dominions Office.

As outras faces da Arte : Uma leitura de Vie de Joseph Roulin e de Maîtres et Serviteurs, de Pierre Michon
Pedro Gonçalves Rodrigues
File (.pdf)
AbstractThe study of Vie de Joseph Roulin and Maîtres et Serviteurs, both written by Pierre Michon, will allow the integration of their author into the modern contemporary French literature. Both texts explore the creative potentialities of overstepping or crossing the frontiers between literary genres, the dimension of auto-reflexivity, inherited from the Nouveau Roman, as well as the use of new strategies, different from those established by the tradition of the 19th century novel. They are both biographical fictions which make it possible to revise and to revisit the past by introducing four famous painters. Simultaneously, both texts favour the reflection on the act of creating and on the sociology of art.

Mature Men's Makeover
By: Kathleen Crawford
Posted: November 29, 2012, from the December 2012 issue of Skin Inc. magazine.
page 2 of 2
Step 5: As people age, the eyebrows and lashes tend to fade or lighten, which can result in a tired, dull look. Adding a little tinted mascara or brow gel in a color appropriate to the natural hair can give that little pop and restore a youthful look. Use waterproof brown or brown/black mascara on the tips of the upper lashes. Try to stay away from the pure blacks unless the natural hair color is black, because it can look too feminine. Make sure to wipe most of the mascara off onto a tissue before applying so you don't apply too much or get any clumps. For the eyebrows, use a tinted brow gel and make sure you get right to the root of the hair. Use a spooly brush, and go back and forth lightly over the brows. Try not to apply to every hair in order to keep it looking more natural. Be careful not to use a brow color that has any red tones, because this can end up looking fake. Use varying shades of brown that are slightly more on the green side. Even on red-haired clients, stick with more taupe or golden colors. You can use this on any facial hair as long as you keep it subtle.
Cosmetic products and supplies used in this makeover include Anastasia, faces 4 humanity, Laura Mercier, L'Oréal and Smashbox.
Kathleen Crawford began working as a makeup artist at 22, and her artistry caught the attention of Hollywood producers who have been utilizing her talents for the past 25 years on top-rated television shows, such as House, MD.She's been the department head makeup artist on more than a dozen episodic and sitcoms, and has provided makeup for A-list celebrities.

I ran a game for five friends Saturday night of GenCon after picking up the book on Friday. I only had a chance to read through the book once, and then double check a few things before the game. However, I found the game to be very simple to run. [[Full disclosure: I own all the WFRP 3ed materials so maybe I had a head start with the system.]]
This is not to say I did not make several mistakes or that I knew the rules perfectly, but as one of my players said, there were no obvious points where the game fell flat because we did not know the rules. This is a credit to the game not to me, since the game does a good job of keeping the story moving without getting bogged down. I'm fairly confident that anyone could run this game after a single read through and then, after the game, check on issues that came up that caused questions.
Character Creation
Character creation took about 30 minutes and would almost certainly have gone more quickly if we had more books and if we had played the game before. Character creation is laid out in a sequence of steps, and it is important to follow these steps.
Making characters for the first time in a game is often challenging. Edge of the Empire gives some loose guidelines about what a good score is for a characteristic, but I think almost every one of my players said at some point in the game that they wish they had spent their XP slightly differently in character creation, either on skills or characteristics.
To that end, I would recommend GMs advise their players to hold back 20-30 XP or so in character creation to allow the players to do a little on the fly creation in the first session. Also, allowing players to completely respec their characters after the first session might not be a bad idea.
Highlights from character creation:
Obligation - Everyone at the table grooved on this both in character creation and in actual play. This is like the advantages/disadvantages you see in a lot of games, but with more mechanical and narrative weight. Also, almost all of my players took on extra obligation, which virtually insured their obligation would come in to play. I have to say as a GM, a big part of me smiled as they did that. Aside from the dice mechanic, obligation is my favorite mechanic in this game.
Talent trees - Yes, these trees are somewhat restricting, but it is a format that anyone who has played an MMO can understand and it really cuts down on power gaming and searching for the most broken combination of talents. Also, having a simple tree to choose from really seemed to speed up character creation as my players did not have to hunt for what talents to take.
Force-Sensitive Exile - I liked that the Force-Sensitive Exile talent tree was not included in the character creation section, but rather was in the Force section. It reinforced that Edge of the Empire is a game about smugglers and bounty hunters, not Jedi. However, it was nice to have the rules for force users for those players that really want to play one and to make it possible to give feed back on force users.
Lowlights from character creation:
Gear - As someone else on this forum has said it was hard to figure out how much starting gear/credits the players begin with. We went with 500 credits based on the table on page 31, but this could have been more clear.
No example characters - It would have been nice if the book had a couple of example characters to go along with the included adventure in the back. We could have either picked this up and played right away or used them as a template to assist in character creation.
The actual play of the session went fairly well. No one else had played WFRP 3ed and only one person had played the Edge of the Empire demo at the Con. Yet, everyone was able to pick up the system by the end. This game was run from 8 p.m. to midnight on the third day of the con, and when my players showed up at the game, they were already half asleep. On any other day, I bet they would have picked up the system even quicker.
Highlights from play:
Combat - Combat in Edge of the Empire is fast-paced and evocative. We had some great cinematic encounters that were fun and interesting and felt like Star Wars. This feels right. After the game we discussed the issue of miniatures, and I think we settled on the majority saying that using miniatures for visual representation and relative position would be nice, but that the engaged, close, medium, etc. range bands were effective and kept combat moving. Blaster rifles are incredibly effective.
Vigilance vs. Cool - Great to see two skills that represent initiative based on the situation the players face. Even in our one session we did have situations where different players were using different skills to determine initiative based on the situation. This leads me to …
Initiative - It's one of the things I really like about WFRP 3ed, and I was really glad to see it incorporated here. My players picked this up immediately, and they all said they liked it. It gets rid of holding an action or delaying, and allows for more dynamic combat where the characters are not locked in to one order.
Destiny Points - Here is one area I made a mistake. The rules clearly state that both sides can each spend one Destiny Point. For some reason I didn't retain this in my first read through so I made an incorrect ruling on this. However, we still really enjoyed moving the Destiny Point back and forth between the light side and dark side. I also, really enjoyed encouraging my players to spend light side Destiny Points to give me more dark side Destiny Points.
Lowlights from play:
None yet, but it is still very early. Also, the newness of the game may have interfered a little with critical analysis. I will have to supplement after more play.
Some additional thoughts:
The Force Die - This is very cool. It has only a few uses in Edge of the Empire, but you can already see the thought that went into this. The Force Die does a great job of randomizing the amount of Destiny available in the game as well as the ratio of light side to dark side destiny at the start. This is great, but its use in activating force powers is even more thoughtful.
As one of my players pointed out, the Force Die has more dark side faces than light side faces. I pointed out that it still has 8 light side pips and 8 dark side pips. I thought that this was a nice representation of the sentiment that the dark side is quicker and more seductive. If a player has patience and just keeps rolling the force die she will roll just as many light side points as dark side points, but if the player tries to rush into it, she may have to rely on using the dark side. Very cool and very Star Wars.
This is a beta - This game is a true beta. There are errors in the book (nothing I haven't done myself and probably no more than are in this post), and there will be problems. Don't let perfect be the enemy of good though.
A game for all editions? - While I think comparing the different Star Wars games is beyond the scope of this beta, I think it is worth mentioning that this game clearly has looked at other Star Wars RPGs from WEG d6 to Saga Edition. My players and I have played just about all of the Star Wars RPGs, and there were a lot of times we could see the influence. I think this is a good thing.

Hi Everybody it's been a while since I was on here. I have a question that I tried searching for without luck. I used American Accents Gold 7954 Metallic Finsh paint on some mouldings a few years ago before paint was reformulated. I still have a small can of the old oil based stuff which I loved, as it gave more of a tarnished brass color that I was looking for. I called the company and they no longer make it oil based. The stuff now comes only in latex. Has anyone used this stuff? I looked at the Martha Stewart and Valspar lines and they got such bad reviews that I would be quite hesitant to waste my money on them. I just want to use it on a section of crown molding that surrounds a vintage tarnished brass lamp. The old stuff goes great with it but I don't have enough. I would really appreciate any suggestions or info you could give me! |

Where can you turn for help when you've been injured? You need to heal, but we all know that doctors and hospitals aren't free. It simply costs money to get well – sometimes lots of money. In addition to basic medical treatment, you may need therapy, hospitalization or even surgery depending on the severity of your injuries. Or perhaps a member of your family has become incapacitated, paralyzed or even has died as a result of another's negligence. How can you begin to pick up the pieces and get the lives of your family pointed in a brighter direction? Regardless of how the injury occurred, it's very unlikely that the responsible party will step up and help. – and don't count on a big insurance company to "do the right thing" either. They're in the business of paying as little as possible, not helping victims. It's a sad commentary, but no one these days seems to want to take responsibility for their actions. So where can you turn?
Turn to the law offices of Mitchell S. Sexner & Associates LLC. Since 1990, our experienced and uncompromising attorneys have held responsible parties fully accountable for the injuries that they cause. No stone is ever left unturned in our relentless quest to secure justice for you and your family. But challenging and winning against large powerful insurance companies on your behalf is only half the reason why our law firm has been so successful over the years. We consider it a privilege to serve our clients and appreciate the trust that clients like you place upon us. So in addition to hard-hitting aggressive representation, we offer our clients our compassion and friendship as we help navigate these troubled waters. We consider our clients to be members of our extended family and hope they'll stay in touch long after our representation has ended.
At our offices, there are never any attorney fees unless we win. Although we know that no amount of money can ever fully compensate you for the loss of your health or for the loss of a loved one, monetary compensation is the only method by which those responsible can be brought to justice. Our affiliated attorneys have long and successful track records. They have been responsible for injury awards and settlements ranging from $100,000 to those far in excess of $10,000,000. But every case is different so if you would like to discuss a potential matter, feel free to contact our office for a free consultation any time, 24 hours day. You can always ask to speak to me personally if you'd like. Just ask for Mitch. I look forward to speaking with you and hope we'll have the privilege of offering you our assistance.
