Electroplay – or Playing with Electricity Much misinformation is sent out verbally and through the web about the fun and hazards associated with electro play. This page is dedicated to a better understanding of the whys and the wherewithal's of the tens unit, the violet wand, electrical hazards and how these devices interact with the human body. It takes us through how electricity affects the body and what is and is not "dangerous levels of electricity" in both technical and layman's terms. Basic Principles of Electricity: Although we are mostly familiar with the terms that are used to describe electricity, often we do not have the basic knowledge about what these things mean, where they come from and what they entail. Here are a few of the words we use and what they actually mean. Electricity and the things that influence it can be measured in several ways: 1. Resistance (also shown in an equation as "R", called Ohms, and shown by the scientific symbol (): Just like the name implies, resistance is the amount of fight or effort it takes to make the electrons flow through some substance (copper, water, the human body, etc.). This principle was first reviewed by a man named Georg Simon Ohm in 1867, and therefore bears his name. When we measure resistance, we say that it has "'so many' Ohms" resistance (to the flow of current in a circuit). 2. Current (shown in an equation as "I", also called Amperes, and referred to by the scientific symbol "A"): Current is a measure of the electrons that are moving ("flowing") at any one time. In some instances we can call this the path or method of conduction. This path is called the 'conductor' and may be a wire, a pipe, or the human body. A man named André-Marie Ampère in 1881 first applied the principle of current flow. 3. Voltage (shown in electrical equations
as the letter "V" or the scientific symbol "E")
is the difference in 'potential' between two electrons or two points in the
path of the electrons movement. 4. Frequency
(measured in Hertz and shown as "Hz" in formulaic
expression) is defined as the amount of time a current 'pulsates'. These are the basic building blocks that will allow us to talk candidly about the issue of electricity in BDSM play. I would recommend that you understand them before we proceed, as they will continue to creep up on us when we least expect it throughout our discussion about how the play interacts with our body and how the toys actually work. Electrical safety: Why is that? The body is a unique device. It actually runs on electricity at very very low levels. Your nerves, your muscles, and your brain all react to electrical impulses from outside sources in differing ways depending on everything associated with electricity and with your body in particular. When an electrical current reaches you, it has to pass through your main line of defense: Your skin. The skin is composed of several layers and is generally dry to the touch. But, because the human body is approximately 78% water, we make excellent conductors for electricity to pass through. Admittedly, if your skin is dry, if you are well rested, if you are well nourished and have plenty of fluids (contrary to what might appear obvious) it is not as good a conductor as otherwise. When you are tired, sweaty, hungry and thirsty, your first line of defense's protection is lowered substantially. In a worst-case scenario (using the terms we defined above) your body's resistance may be as low as 1000 Ohms. Normally the resistance of your body to stop electricity is not very important, but when you are experiencing a 'shock' of some kind, it can make all the difference in the world. Electricity can cause many
things to happen to your body. The worst of which is known as ventricular
defibulation. Ventricular fibrillation occurs when some sort of inconsistency in
your body unbalances your heart. This might be caused by low electrolyte
balances, a strike to the area of the chest containing your heart, or by an
electrical shock. How much electricity can kill you? (1)
Well we know that it takes current flow conducted to the heart muscles in this
instance. And, that is going to require a 'difference in potential'
(voltage) to be present to cause the flow.
What it says (basically) is that if the resistance is the same all the time, and the current (I) goes up, then the voltage (V) has to go down proportionally. And, the inverse is also true. If the voltage (V) goes up then the current (I) goes down. Knowing this formula we can do a bit of extrapolation to figure out what is THE "deadly" combination. With a known heart stopping current of 0.100A and a lowest possible resistance of 1K, we end up with a formula that one asks to have the amount of voltage assessed. So
if: E / R = I What this means is that voltages as low as 100 volts may kill you depending on whether your body resistance is low due to fatigue, heat and/or nourishment, if the frequency is penetrative or passes over the skin. If there is a puncture of the skin, this is substantially reduced until a deadly shock might be levied at as low as 46 VAC (This is why the National Electric Code declares that voltages as low as 30VAC are to be considered high voltage applications to ensure a level above this for safety.)[5] So now we know how voltage, resistance and current operate within the body. What about frequency (Hz)? As we discussed above, frequency is the rate at which a voltage passes through a null point on a sine wave. This waveform for alternating current (and step-DC) presents a new and unique parameter to the "body affecting equation". Have you ever wondered why some people when struck by lightening survive? Scientists know that lightning's power is in the 'Gigawatt' range. To give you an example of the power this entails, look at any light bulb in your house. Most of these bulbs will be less than 150 Watts. Lightening has approximately a million times that amount of power flowing through it. We also know that people can be killed by the amount of electricity in the average household wall socket if not careful. So why do some people survive to tell the tale when hit by lightening? Why do they survive when they are in their cars? Why do people (even while wearing rubber soled shoes) die when hit by lightening? Lightening has erratic frequencies. Parts of it have been measured at less than one hertz (one oscillation through the null point per second) up to a million Hz/sec (needless to say, measurements are incredibly tough to get properly with something as powerful and chaotic as a lightening strike). The majority of the energy produced is at this very high frequency. When something has a high frequency (defined as a frequency above ~200 Hz), it does an unusual thing. It is going so fast that the minor resistance provided by the skin deflects it OVER the skin, vice through it. This is called the "Skin Effect". Therefore most of the energy from the lightening strike passes over the skin disallowing it from doing internal damage directly (there is a good chance, however, that it will heat the skin to the point where it cooks you inside). Why is this important to a discussion about electrical toys? Well…….
During the rise of man's fascination with electricity in the late 1800's, the violet wand was developed as a "medical device". Since then, it has been proven to be of no great use in that arena (therapeutically), but has persisted as a "wive's tale" and used for every ailment imaginable. The violet wand is so called, because when it is operating the glass bulb on its head glows purple when it is energized (Note: for us scientific geeks, the color is produced through energy released during the intra-valent electron exchanges occurring during the forced ionization of the normally inert Argon gas (or, other gases for some of the various colors they might use) contained inside a tempered glass electrode under low pressure [2].). The violet wand is a relatively simple device consisting of a switch (on some models), a generator and associated electrical components (a capacitor and for producing electricity and contained in the handle) a "press-in" socket for the various shaped bulb attachments and assortment of conductors.
The generator makes a high frequency AC out of standard household current
(~120VAC 60Hz). Because the frequency is so high, it can be introduced into the
bulbs and create the namesake purple light. But the light is only for show and
even disbursement through the bulb to the glass barrier, because even without a
bulb the electricity produced may travel through a conductor (supplied) and into
(across the skin, as we discussed) a person holding it. Therefore making him the
conductor (actually his skin) and allowing him to apply this "charge" from
his person (generally the finger tips) and onto another person. While use of the violet wand on the human body is relatively safe, one should not allow the sparks to linger too long in one spot on the skin. This could produce minor burns similar to sunburn, but is not necessarily life-threatening as other electrical toys may be, as described below.
The Tens Unit is a device originated for the same purpose as
the violet wand: therapeutic relief from various maladies of the human body and
spirit. Except, unlike the violet wand, the tens unit actually works in
some of the intended physical applications.
It is a low voltage penetrative unit. The unit generally uses a nine-volt
battery (or alternate equivalent source) as the power. Because if this, I have
heard people state that the violet want (which may drive upwards of 15000 volts)
is more dangerous. But, this is untrue. Remember: Be safe, play safe, and have fun. "It's all good"

I love this workbench!! Nice
I love this workbench!! Nice job! Thanks for the plans. :)
I've built a few of Ana's projects so far, and a couple of my own as well. When I work on them, though, I've had to drag my saws and drills all over the house, and sawdust gets everywhere. What I've needed, is a work-bench.
9 - 2"x4"x8' (about $2 a stick)
1 - 24"x48"x1" laminated pine board from the Home Depot (about $20)
Please read through the entire plan and all comments before beginning this project. It is also advisable to review the Getting Started Section. Take all necessary precautions to build safely and smartly. Work on a clean level surface, free of imperfections or debris. Always use straight boards. Check for square after each step. Always predrill holes before attaching with screws. Use glue with finish nails for a stronger hold. Wipe excess glue off bare wood for stained projects, as dried glue will not take stain. Be safe, have fun, and ask for help if you need it. Good luck!
8 - 2x4 @ 33"
4 - 2x4 @ 3"
2 - 2x4 @ 16
4 - 2x4 @ 40
4 - 2x4 @ 12
First, cut two 2x4s to length (I picked 33 inches). Fasten them together at a ninety-degree angle (I used three equally spaced 2.5 inch construction screws).
Lather, rinse, repeat: you need three more legs to build the bench.
Next, cut a 2x4 into four sections, each three inches in length. Secure them to the bottoms of the legs using two construction fasteners to keep them in place.
If you'd like, you can skip this step. I find, though, that adding cleats to the bottom of the legs is helpful for three reasons: (1) because it's easy to make sure every cleat is the same size, it makes leveling the stretchers easy; (2) they support the stretchers better than screws would by themselves, and (3) they add surface area to the feet of the legs, which makes the whole project sturdier.
Now it's time to add shelf supports. The length of your shelf supports will determine the width of your project, so consider how long you want them to be.
I knew that I would be using a 24"x48" top, and wanted a two-inch overhang on the front and back so, subtracting four inches for the legs, I cut my shelf supports to 16-inches each.
Now it's time to add the shelves. These will determine the length of your project so, again, consider how long you want them to be.
I knew that I would be using a 24"x48" top, and wanted a two-inch overhang on the sides so, subtracting four inches for the legs, I cut my shelf supports to 40-inches each.
Next, cut stretchers to the same length as you chose for the shelves, and fasten them to the top of the legs.
Now add supports for the top. These should be four inches shorter than the shelf supports you originally cut so, in my case, 12 inches each. I've found, thus far, that four were sufficient to keep my pretty flimsy top secure but, depending on the material you use, you might prefer more (or less).
Space them evenly, and secure with two screws..
I added a 24"x48" top made out of laminated pine 1x2s from the Home Depot. They're cheap and, after I varnished it, reasonably hard. I was also in a bit of a hurry to get the project done, so speed and ease of construction were issues for me. I joined the top to the stretchers and supports with counter-sunk screws that I filled with wood-putty and sanded flush.
If you'd prefer, you can build a top yourself, in any of a number of ways. I considered using 2x4s joined to one another, but was concerned that the grooves would trap nails and saw-dust.
Another idea would be to stack three pieces of plywood on top of one another, cut to size. That would provide strength and durability that my flimsy one-inch top will ultimately lack.

I love this workbench!! Nice job! Thanks for the plans. :)
claydowling replied on Permalink
This plan is pretty nice, although you might find it small for some projects. If you reach that point, here are some other resources to consider:
There are quite a few good books on the subject, and your local library probably has one or two. There are also some pretty neat plans on the web for easy to make workbenches.
This one looks complicated, but it's actually made up of a bunch of really simple parts: http://americanwoodworker.com/blogs/projects/archive/2009/03/04/tom-s-to...
I love this one too, and it came very close to being my workbench: http://thewoodwhisperer.com/torsion-box-workbench/ The vises that are built into that bench can be skipped to make it very simple. No plan, but lots of photos that will show you how to build it.
claydowling replied on Permalink
No plans here either, but it takes an ingenious approach to clamping your work that's worth remembering. You could spend a lot of money on vises, or just do it the easy way like they did here.
amadorgirl replied on Permalink
Is there a reason you can't use particle board or just a cheaper than $20 table top?
claydowling replied on Permalink
Any kind of sheet goods tends to work pretty well. The thicker the better.
A really good choice is to take a 4x8 sheet of 3/4" MDF, cut it in half, screw them together, and then build the legs under it.
JoyofBaking replied on Permalink
I was JUST searching for plans on how to build my own workbench. I should've known to come here to find it! Thanks so much for this!
I just ordered my very first routher. I'm praying that someone will have mercy upon us and provide us with a router table plan, lol. All of the plans I've seen online so far are either too complex or not detailed enough. :o(
I'm adding this workbench to my to do list and can't wait to get started, thank you!
Semonurse replied on Permalink
For the last week I've been struggling just to build the $10 shelves. I decided to print out the workbench plans. I jokingly wrote a note on them telling my husband that I thought he needed to build me this. Well guess what? He built the workbench in less than an hour! While I am happy and excited about my new workbench, I still haven't even figured out how to hold my boards together so I can drill the holes in them or how to countersink or if I'm even using the right drill bit!! And here my husband goes and builds this workbench in no time!! It's very aggravating!! And yes, I have asked for his guidance, however, he wants to take over and build it himself. I'm so ready to just forget about this new hobby. It's a shame too because I do have this awesome new workbench!
claydowling replied on Permalink
There's a lot of stuff in there that will help you. The tools, and therefor the techniques, are different than what Ana uses. But they work. I use them. Hand tools are cheaper, generally safer, and don't require a major investment. As somebody who didn't have power in his workshop for a very long time, hand tools where a major salvation.
The most important thing is to get out there and build something. Build something simple. You'll learn from the process, and your next project will be easier. A box is a good start, because you can always find a use for a box, and they're pretty easy.
And tell your husband to keep his hands off your tools unless he wants to draw back a stub.
Semonurse replied on Permalink
Okay I just ordered the book. I hope it really does help me! Any other books that might help me? I've googled stuff until I'm sick of looking at the computer screen! And still don't know the answers! I really appreciate your advice on the book though. And about him keeping his hands off my tools, My new tool box has suddenly become "our" tool box!
claydowling replied on Permalink
I'm not sure which other books to recommend. The web article series "I Can Do That" from Popular Woodworking is worth reading. They start from the assumption that you're ignorant and seeking enlightenment. They also have really cool projects, often a simplified version of a professional project featured in the same issue.
There's a series of videos at Logan Cabinet Shoppe that are really good for learning basic skills. The author does really good work, and shows how it's really just a series of very simple skills that you can learn with a little practice.
Other consistent sources are harder for me to recommend. When I want to learn a new skill I tend to start hunting videos. Although considering that you're concerned with the proper way to attach screws, let me advise you to use great caution in your search terms. What has been seen cannot be unseen.
Also, for the keeping of the toolbox, mouse traps may be a good bet.
Guest replied on Permalink
I finally had enough of my husband leaving tools and renovation supplies in every room of the house. I found this plan and set to work. This was so simple, even for a novice like me. I used mostly what we already had on hand so I only spent around $10 for a few extra 2 x4's.
Thank you so much for the clear instructions and diagrams. It's a very simple design, but very efficient. It's also an extremely quick build.
mama2twins replied on Permalink
I store my miter saw on the top, my jigsaw, toolbox, Dremel box and other things on the bottom shelf. I attached a few hooks for quick "go to" tools such as a pencil & sharpener, measuring tape, running square, etc.
A few weeks ago we had some minor flooding after a hurricane. Then we thought we were in the clear and went about our business and put things back....then out of the blue that we had another flood which was deep. This workbench saved all of my tools! Normally they would have been in the basement stored on the floor...thanks to these plans, my tools were safe and dry!!! Thank you so much for the best site ever!!!
Larissa replied on Permalink
I built/finished this bench in about 4 work hours about 4 months ago. Thank you so much I LOVE IT! Mounted my Kreg on one end, very handy. Finished the top with Johnsons Paste which is holding up great. This bench has proved to be VERY useful and was SO simple to build using your plans. Thank you so much for taking the time to post them!
I love this easy idea for making a cutting table in my sewing room. It would work well for storage underneath. I have this on my to do list and am going to skirt it in fabric. My dimensions will have to be a little different to match my cutting mat size.
I would love to know if anyone has built anything for a sewing room. Thank you for the plans and comments above.
RandyE replied on Permalink
I am going to take this on as my first project this weekend. Will report back with my success (or failure).
Thanks Anna for the inspiration.
Kerry replied on Permalink
My husband wants to make this work bench, but since he's over 6' tall he wants to add about 3-4" in height. Does he need to modify anything else other than the height of the legs?
Guest replied on Permalink
I just wanted to add that I just completed this project and only used 6 2x4x8 boards, no need for 9 of them. Depending upon where you purchase your 2x4's the price for them can vary greatly. I paid almost $4 a board and bought 3 more than needed, while the $12 dollar up cost doesn't bother me because I will use the 2x4's for another project at some point, some who don't build frequently and may have to save up for supplies could be upset by spending the addition cash when it isn't needed, just a suggestion is all. And also it is suggested to cut the top supports 4 inches shorter than the side supports and that is too short. I cut mine exactly four inches shorter and really only needed them to be 2 inches shorter. My table was built following these very instructions but I added a half an inch to the sides because I am using something different for my topper. My sides measure exactly 16 1/2" and the top supports need to be 14 inches so only 2 1/2" smaller than the side supports.
As the above comment mentioned, the TOP SUPPORTS may not be 12" as in STEP 7. Depending on the true size of your 2X4 this can vary greatly, so please do yourself a favor and measure the area before you cut! :) For me, the perfect top support came in at an even 13".
Also, as also mentioned above, this project only needs 6 2X4's to complete...with scrap left over. Oh...and you need 95 screws!
Very pleased with the sturdiness and raw design of this plan! I thank you, my garage floor thanks you, my back thanks you.
EndGrainJoe replied on Permalink
Fantastic article and that is one good looking work bench. Have you ever made a cutting board before? The ones at End Grain Cutting Board are beautiful and seem like an easy starter project for someone!
Steve069 replied on Permalink
I just built this work bench today. The plans are easy to follow but the shopping list should be 6 2x4s instead of 9. Also there are some cuts missing from the cut list (step 7 cust are not on the list). Otherwise the plans are awesome and easy to follow.
karenwalker replied on Permalink
Very interesting. During renovation, you need to consider important things such as materials, tools, safety and etc. We need to use something solid and reliable to avoid accident. Most individuals and companies are using cheap materials to lessen the costs of the renovation but this is not advisable.We must not only consider the price of the materials because the most important is the quality.
i made this work bench this past weekend. I modified it to make it taller, wider, and shorter in length to be able to use it for my cut table in my quilting studio. I haven't finished it yet (plan to paint the bottom and stain the top) but it is wonderful. Chunky and sturdy and my back loves, loves, loves the height! Oh, I also lowered the bottom shelf a tad and added another shelf. Once it's finished, maybe I'll add a picture. Thank you Ana for your wonderful plans!
The author should change the shopping list ASAP. I really appreciate his time and for Sharing his plans, in my case I did not double check and when ahead and bought the items on the shopping list. After I got home and started making all the cuts I had FOUR untouched 2x4's which was a little disappointing, but I'm sure I'll use it in some other future project.

I built the bench and it is very solid. I even added a bench vise made from pipe clamps.

Discussion with Harry Tjan
I saw Harry Tjan this morning. The following were the main points of interest, some of which I expect you will wish to have cabled.
Portuguese Timor
- Tjan said that he had now developed what he called a 'grand design' on the future of Portuguese Timor, which had been submitted to the President. The first stage consists of securing legal access by Indonesia to Portuguese Timor through economic cooperation. Australia will be invited by Indonesia and Portugal to join in this cooperation. The second stage will be to invite the UN to send a team to inspect conditions in Portuguese Timor. At the earliest this would take place in 1975, but probably not unti11976. The third stage would be a referendum, the result of which would be ensured by the territory's exposure to Indonesian influence.
- Tjan said that the President had endorsed the plan as the 'basic guidelines' for Indonesian policy. It still remained, however, for the plan to be converted into operational terms by Ali Murtopo.1

Hi Folks. My wife and I and another couple are heading to Florida In January to pick up a cruise. We live in Canada and will be travelling I-95 the whole way.I would like somebody from the area of NY to tell me the most easiest way to leave I95 into ground zero and back to I 95. What would be even better if someone could tell me where there is a safe place I could leave my car outside NYC and grab a subway or something to go into the City for a day and back the same evening.Ive driven in the City before and I really dont need the stress since we are on a time frame. |
Follow-Up Postings:
You hit the nail on the head in terms of stashing your car outside NYC. We recently visited a friend in downtown Manhattan. We drove up from the DC area and left our car at the NJ Transit lot in Princeton Junction. It was much more pleasant than driving into NYC and cheaper for the two of us given bridge/tunnel tolls, and how much it is to park in the city. (My wife and I used to live in Manhattan, so we know about driving there.) It takes some time, especially if you need to transfer trains, but I definitely recommend it. I recommend you check out the websites for NJ transit (njransit.org) and Metro-North (pasted below) to identify places to park your vehicle. Aside from security concerns, you want to factor in traffic timing. If you arrive at rush hour, hop a Metro-North train in Westchester county. If you arrive at a low traffic hour you may want to get around NYC and take NJ transit in to minimize hassles when you leave. While I don't know all of the towns in these areas, one nice place to park your car north of NYC is Larchmont. It is a rather wealthy area where my wife used to work, and the train station is only a couple miles off of I-95. You might even consider parking your car at Newark airport. There are plenty of transportation options to and from downtown Manhattan from there, and it is right off of I-95. Good luck and have a great trip. Dan |

It is always wise to not bring a car into Manhattan. |
If you avoid rush hour you will be OK. If you park off the road you drive in on, you can have easy in/easy out. It is pretty straightforward from 95Southbound, if you want to try it: Take 95S all the way to New York. Follow Signs to Triborough bridge. The route you want is 278/Triborough bridge. The only important thing is to stay in the right lane on 278, once you are on a big metal bridge there will be a small sign for a right turn off that says "Manhattan/FDR drive" with little warning. Take this right, then you will be at the triborough bridge toll (I think 3.50). Take the FDR Drive south option from the toll. Go all the way down the island to the South Street Exit3. Proceed to SouthStreet seaport, a tourist area that will have parking, transportation, bus loops and visitor information. You will be able to back track these directions to get back onto 95. |
Don't drive unless you know what you are doing....take public transportation. Driving in and around NYC is an art! |
All these messages about "Don't drive in NYC" crack me up. New York is the easiest city to drive in, the grid is very straightforward. If you have never driven in ANY city, then I will grant that New York will be intimidating. But if you have ever been in a city, New York is just a little taller, and probably dirtier, that's all. Boston is the true driving nightmare of the US. No grid, no lanes, and the Big Dig. New York is a piece of cake in comparison! |
lpolk, I agree, the only thing I couldn't figure out is where do you get gas? I never remember seeing a gas station in NYC! You're right about Boston, but have you ever tried DC? Talk about your nightmare. For a "planned" city, you'd think there be some sort of logic to the roads, but you'd be wrong. Anyway, we'd still park in NJ and take the train because it's faster coming from MD. As an aside, and I don't want to cause anyone pain or offense, but I really don't understand why one would visit ground zero? |

I love this style were it is fitted and then flared from the waist. The look is fully lined with princess seams and zipper at the back and two front pockets.
The style is M6741 and I gave it a little twist by using a different sleeve style. The sleeve is from March 2013 of burdastyle magazine the dress on the cover.
It is a very relax dress and very comfortable to wear.

Research Interests
Dr. Wendong Li received a Ph.D. degree in Management (Organizational Behavior) from National University of Singapore in 2013. He also obtained degrees in Industrial and Organizational Psychology from Chinese Academy of Sciences and Beijing Normal University. He joined Kansas State University in 2013 as an assistant professor.
Dr. Li conducts research on proactivity across a number of areas, including work analysis/design, leadership, career success, and personality change. He is intrigued by how people are willing and able to modify, but also adapt to, their environments. His work examines individual (e.g., personality traits and genetics) and environmental (e.g., work context and culture) factors which may prompt proactivity, as well as the consequences of being proactive (e.g., as reflected in people's performance, well-being, and changes in their personality traits). Recently, he is doing research looking at the role of time in organization behaviors.
Dr. Li's work on the interplay between genetic and environmental influences on work outcomes has been featured in a recent interview in The Industrial Organizational Psychologist (p. 57).
Awards and Honors

My first climb was in 1996, at my high school grad night. My second climb was about ten years later, and I've since become addicted to all things climbing. My perfect day involves scrambling up the little rocks with friends and finishes up with food, beer and... watching climbing videos! I've climbed in Thailand and Japan, but never in Yosemite or Bishop... weird.
Andrew Andrew is a native of Western North Carolina and has been climbing since 2004. He and his wife love California! They have shared many adventures throughout the west including several long multi-pitch routes in Red Rocks and Yosemite as well as a healthy amount of Grade V aid. His favorite places include Joshua Tree, Pinnacles, Tuolumne, Tahoe, Gunks, as well as the home cliffs of NC. Andrew is excited to be a member of the GWPC Touchstone family. He also teaches our amazing crack climbing clinic. |
Stephanie Look at that face... You can't stay mad at that face! Which is why we send all disgruntled customers her way... Stephanie is one of the nicest people around. She gave up her job in the corporate public health world and has become a fixture at GWPC. And we couldn't be happier. Stephanie has climbed all over the Western United States and is currently applying to graduate programs to pursue her passion for fostering healthy communities. She also teaches our basic technique clinic. |
Melissa Mel has recently moved to Austin to attend grad school and make us all jealous. We are all sad to see her go, but will keep her photo up a liiiiitle longer as a sign of respect. Miss you Mel! |
Zev Zev is humble, so he doesn't really like to talk himself up, but he's a pretty neat guy. Born in our nation's capital, Zev grew up in the DC suburbs of Maryland, woefully ignorant of the wondrous world of climbing. He learned the error of his adolescent ways when he started climbing in SoCal a few years ago, so much of his outdoor experience is from places like New Jack City and J-Tree. Though Zev would eventually like to pursue a Ph.D in Russian Studies, he's excited to focus on climbing and personal fitness during his time at GWPC, and can't wait to feel up some Yosemite granite. Feel free to ask him about anything from motorcycles and computers to Russian culture and critical theory. You may not even have to ask. Zev ventures a lot of unsolicited information. |
John This is John and he needs a bio! Until then he will remain shrouded in mystery and intrigue. |
Elaina Elena leads a double life. But it could be argued that each of these are double lives as well...Other than loving to climb, hike, swim and canoe, she also does some moonlighting as a gardener and a baker. Still yet, her main work in life is to provide personalized medical care in the form of acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine and she practices full time at Berkeley Community Acupuncture Clinic. While thriving on movement, change and spontaneity, Elena has held onto Touchstone Inc. as a steadying force since 2007 when she was first hired at Diablo Rock Gym in Concord. She is so grateful to be apart of such an amazing community of people for all these years and truly enjoys her time behind the desk. |

I wanted to know if there was a lot of variation in seedling grown black sapotes. I know that they grow fast & fruit within only a couple of years. Any input would be much appreciated. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Curious here too. Of 30 seeds only had two take. |
There is a lot of variation with seedling black sapotes. You may end up with a tree with only male flowers and never get fruit. |
I have a black sapote tree. I had it for over 10 yrs now. It had been chopped down and grew back. It did not produce for many years but the tree was very ornamental & evergreen so I kept it. Well 4 years ago in December, I went out to my back yard and picked up a strong chocolate odor from under the tree. A fruit I never noticed fell and smashed on the ground. I looked carefully in the tree & found another one. It was pretty good. The next year, I got dozens. Every year since then,,, tons! I believe the key is patience. They are not the most delicious fruit but they are extremely good for you. I have learned to love them. The big bonus is that they ripen in the Winter around Christmas, so they are great for a year round garden. Good luck! Vince |
Vince, I love black sapote fruits. If you would consider selling any extras and ship I would be first in line to buy. Are all yours gone now? |
Hello eyeckr, I just gave my tree a big trim for the spring. It was getting enormous. I had too try to manage her size. She's going through the Spring flowering stage. The fruit will slowly reach maturity over the Summer & Fall months. They'll be ripe come November, December. I can send you some then. No problem. Vince |
Sounds awesome Vince and thanks for posting a picture of your tree! Would you mind sending me a PM so I can get your contact info? |

Eating the Right Foods at the Right Time
Knowing what to eat and when to eat it is a difficult thing to determine. Your body requires different types of fuel depending on what you're doing. What you eat after a tough workout session is totally different from what you'll need to eat while sitting through a meeting at work.
So go over to this Livestrong website to get some great tips on what and when to eat.
Fresh fruits and vegetables are going to start to come in season. What are you eating? Right now I'm still eating apples everyday, as well as fresh oranges and watermelon.
Spring is here and the snow is melting. Who is getting outside and starting their walking, hiking or running routines?
healthy food choices,
right foods

I'm betting I'm not the only gardener who has despaired while attempting to sort through too many great seeds, trying to decide what to plant in my limited space this season. So I've decided to outsource some of them.
Here's how it would work: if you want a particular type of seed, I'll give it to you, plus extras. You grow a couple of extra plants, let me have some fruit (or, if you live further away, properly saved seeds), and we both win! I'm finally updating my Have list, it's currently a fairly accurate representation of what I have, though I'm still waiting for a lot of seeds I've ordered to arrive and will list those when they get here. If you would rather have plants, I've started way too many tomatoes and have a lot more to get going--still 7 weeks till last frost!--so I'm good with that, too. If you're interested, please message me, and enable a way for me to get back to you. Happy gardening!! : ) |
Follow-Up Postings:
Lol I am an hour away from Dayton (but it's the nearest "big city" and I go there pretty often. I have too many tomatoes too but save seeds and would love to swap with you (tomato or other). Do you go to CHOPTAG? Kate |
Hi, Kate! It's odd to see "Dayton" and "big city" in the same sentence. I saw the CHOPTAG thread, and am very interested in going, but because I no longer drive I need to try to sweet talk someone into taking me there. Cross your fingers, because sweet talk really isn't my strongest quality. You don't really need to "swap" with me; I'll give you what you'd like, and just give me some fruit/seed later on. I've updated my list to include these seeds that have arrived: Angora Super Sweet Let me know what you're interested in, and maybe message your address to me via my member page. : ) |

Today everybody dreams of being a Rock Star but in reality very few are. With an irrefutable reputation achieved over thirty-plus years working with a stellar cast of clients Tony Michaelides IS a Rock Star. He has worked with some of the world's biggest selling artists, in fact artists whose combined record sales have been well in excess of a BILLION. (U2, David Bowie, The Police, Peter Gabriel, Bob Marley, Massive Attack, Whitney Houston, Depeche Mode, Matchbox Twenty, New Order, Annie Lennox. The Stone Roses etc. He also spent seven years working with the two Simons, Cowell and Fuller.)
As an author, speaker, mentor, radio presenter etc this most revered, much respected and extremely personable maverick was granted an 'Alien of Extraordinary Ability' Green Card for his services to the music industry. His book 'The Insights Collection' (Lessons learned from Rock and Roll) is littered with wonderful stories and valuable lessons. 'It's about the music industry and it's about the people I met along the way. It's about teaching some and learning from others, it's about how they stared at failure and how they handled success. It's about where they came from, where they went and what happened to them in between.'
Tony has embraced all the things in life that most of us are afraid to address, eager to avoid, or too scared to attempt. Consequently, many of us lack the tools and the kind of positive outlook on life that enables some people, like Tony the ability to see life's opportunities before most. Now for the first time he has decided to share those experiences and the lessons he learned from Rock and Roll with a multi-disciplinary audience in a way that everyone can relate to. Engaging with all in a genuine and down-to-earth manner his storytelling is captivating, the kind of stuff that you won't forget!

Lion Camp
Lion Camp is located in the remote north of South Luangwa National Park, close to the incredibly game-rich Lion Plain, and a three-hour drive through the park from Mfuwe airport. Comfortable and well appointed, it overlooks a plain on the edge of an oxbow lagoon, or wafwa, which is a real magnet for game all year round.
Continue reading our full report on Lion Camp
Our view of Lion Camp
Lion Camp's facilities are impressive, with an attractive and well designed main area featuring the significant luxury of a swimming pool. Its food and service were also very good. The chalets are comfortable too, albeit a little less 'safari' than some real purists might like. Whilst the larger size of the camp and its infrastructure, might not appeal to those looking for a really simple bush experience. Having said that, for this comparatively remote northern area of the park, it is excellent value, and the cost difference between Lion Camp and its neighbours becomes even more significant during the peak season. Its great value for those who want to indulge in a more permanent camp.
Lion Camp: Traveller ratings
Lion Camp is located on an oxbow lagoon which attracts game all year around.

I don't see Google's cache anymore. Did Google discontinue cache or did I inadvertently turn it off? And if I turned it off where do I turn it back on? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Google discontinued it, sorry to say, at least in the spot you are used to seeing it. You will see some arrows to the right of the links, if you click on the arrows, and box will open on the right hand side, and you will find cache there. Very inconvenient. I use cache all the time, so right now, have been using gigablast for a search engine, rather than Google. :-)Cat |
- Posted by albert_135 (My Page) on Tue, Oct 4, 11 at 13:41
So, I click on the arrows and get box where I can click on "cached" and the cache screen says the search terms are highlighted but they are not highlighted. I thought the highlighting was a most useful feature. Is this something I have done or something Google has not done? |
Yep, pretty much how it now works. No, it is not anything you have done. Google has done it. Here is a link that you might want to read. Try gigablast, it still has the cache in the normal place. |

BBC News Online
This article may rely excessively on sources too closely associated with the subject, preventing the article from being verifiable and neutral. (June 2014) |
BBC News Online | |
BBC News Online in January 2013
Web address | bbc.co.uk/news |
Slogan | "Whenever you need to know" |
Commercial? | No (advertising included when accessed outside the UK) |
Type of site
News |
Registration | Required for some services |
Available in | 32 languages[1] |
Owner | BBC |
Launched | November 1997 |
Current status | Online |
BBC News Online is the website of BBC News, the division of the BBC responsible for newsgathering and production. The website is the most popular news website in the United Kingdom, and forms a major part of BBC Online (bbc.co.uk). The site records around 40 million unique users a week (around 60 to 70% of visitors are from the UK).[2][3]
The website contains international news coverage, as well as British, entertainment, science, and political news. Many reports are accompanied by audio and video from the BBC's television and radio news services, while the latest TV and radio bulletins are also available to view or listen to on the site together with other current affairs programmes.
BBC News Online is closely linked to its sister department website, that of BBC Sport. Both sites follow similar layout and content options and respective journalists work alongside each other. Location information provided by users is also shared with the website of BBC Weather to provide local content.
The site was named best news website at the BAFTA Interactive Entertainment Awards every year from the website's creation until 2001 when the award category was withdrawn. It has won both the Judges' award and the People's Voice award many times over the years for best news site at the annual Webby Awards.[4]
The website was launched in November 1997, headed by founding editor Mike Smartt and Project Director Bob Eggington. The BBC had previously created special websites marking the 1995 Budget, the 1997 general election, and the death of Princess Diana in 1997, but nothing on the scale of the launch of the main site itself.[5]
The original design was created by a team, including Matt Jones, based on designs commissioned from consultancy Lambie-Nairn, and has been redesigned several times mainly to match the visual style of BBC News television bulletins and to exploit increases in readers' typical screen resolutions. A major overhaul in 2003, primarily by Paul Sissons and Maire Flynn, coincided with a relaunch of the BBC News Channel (then BBC News 24) and featured a wider page design. The site launched a set of semi-official RSS 0.91 syndication feeds in June 2003 and upgraded them to full feed RSS 2.0 in 2008.[6] Each news index has its own RSS feed, including the in-depth sections.
In 2004 the BBC News website partnered with Moreover Technologies, in a response to the 2003 Graf Report, to provide links from BBC articles to rival publishers.[7] Whilst the BBC does not censor or change results the algorithms used tend to give greater weight to national and international sources over regional or local ones.
Mike Smartt, who became editor in chief in 2000, was later succeeded by Pete Clifton who was subsequently promoted to Head of BBC News Interactive and replaced by the previous editor Steve Herrmann in 2005.[8]
The BBC began providing real-time global user information in June 2006.
A restructuring of BBC News starting in 2007 saw the dissolution of the separate BBC News Interactive department; the editorial and management departments joined the new multimedia newsroom along with television and radio news within BBC Television Centre.[9]
New features were gradually introduced, including the publicising of video content more prominently, and the introduction of live streaming of the BBC News channel. In line with the introduction of new features across BBC Online, including a new navigation bar, the site was updated in 2008 with wider centred page designs, larger images and an increased emphasis on audio and visual content.[10]
Beginning on 30 April 2009, some published stories included in-text links, mostly to in-site profile articles on people, locations and organisations.[citation needed] The BBC announced on 19 November 2009 that it was to pay more attention to search engine optimisation by extending news headlines.[11][12]
On 14 July 2010 the site was completely redesigned, with the vertical section headings moved to run horizontally near the top of the page. The new design, incorporating larger in-line videos within news articles and standardised font usage, was introduced as a first step to bringing the entire BBC website into line with its new style guidelines.[13] It was met with mixed opinions; Stephen Fry stated his approval of the redesign,[14] and the new design was praised for being "more attractive [and] graphically stronger".[15] However, there was also criticism, with some stating that the use of white space was too widespread and led to the need for continuous and excessive scrolling.[15]
On 4 March 2014, the BBC launched a beta version of a responsive design of the website.[16]
UK/International editions[edit]
There are two different editions of the site: a UK edition, which gives prominence to UK stories, and an international edition, which prioritises international news. Internet users with IP addresses originating from the UK are served the UK edition, all others receive the international edition. All articles are archived indefinitely and can be retrieved via searching or by browsing the extensive Special Reports section, which contains collections of articles relating to major news stories. The previous seven days' top stories were formerly available through the Week at a Glance section of the website.
As well as pure news articles, the site also contains material to support BBC news, current affairs and factual programmes. The Magazine section contains features prompted by current news stories, as well as a number of regular items within the daily Magazine Monitor blog with various light-hearted sub-sections including 'Caption Competition', 'Reader's Letters', 'Punorama', quizzes and other humorous items.
A forum, Have Your Say, is also a major part of the site, and comment sections are activated on selected articles. The current system behind the forum was introduced in 2005 to allow or comments to be added to debates and appear in real-time, subject to varying levels of moderation.
The BBC News channel has been streamed live on the UK version of the website since the beginning of May 2007.[17]
BBC News Online has a small number of topic-specific columns written by BBC journalists. Examples include former education correspondent Mike Baker's Mike Baker Weekly column which still continues and technology commentator Bill Thompson's bill board (formerly bill blog). BBC News Online Science Writer Ivan Noble, diagnosed with a malignant brain tumour in August 2002, shared his experiences of cancer in Tumour Diary until his death on 31 January 2005.
The use of blogs has also grown with correspondents including Nick Robinson, Robert Peston, Mark Mardell, Justin Webb and Evan Davis, amongst others, making use of them to provide updates on the latest news events. The Editors' blog has also seen BBC News editors giving their reasons for editorial decisions, as well as defending criticisms of the BBC. Members of the public are given the opportunity to comment on entries
Embedded video and audio[edit]
The launch of the BBC iPlayer, with the new Adobe Flash based BBC Embedded Media Player in July 2007[18] enabled BBC News and Sport Online to change the way it presented video content. Previously the site had delivered online video content using embedded RealPlayer video in pop-up windows branded as the BBC News Player. From March 2008 the BBC began to gradually introduce embedded video using the EMP into individual news articles and onto the front page.[19] The news player also provides constant live streaming of the BBC News channel via the website.[20] This had previously only been viewable in a separate window.
Mobile and text only versions[edit]
In addition to the standard website with embedded video and audio, there is an XHTML version optimised for users on mobile devices.[21] Additionally the WAP[22] version of the website is automatically updated with news, and a text-only version of the main news website can be accessed via the BBC Betsie service.[23]
In March 2010 the BBC announced that the low graphics[24] and PDA[25] versions of the site would be discontinued.[26] As of May 2010 these versions of the site are no longer available and redirect to the main and mobile websites respectively.
The site is primarily funded by the television licence, paid by all UK households owning a television set, and used to carry no advertising. The World edition has received some subsidy from the UK's Foreign and Commonwealth Office through its grant-in-aid to the BBC World Service. This has led to complaints of unfair competition from commercial rivals. Others note[who?] that large numbers of international visitors enjoy the site at the expense of the UK public, leading to suggestions that foreign users be shown advertising or charged subscription fees when accessing the site. Proposals to include advertising on the international version of the website were discussed by the BBC Trust in February 2007, but were opposed by BBC journalists, who feared it would weaken public trust in the impartiality of the BBC. In November 2007, the site did start to carry advertising.[27] The advertising consists of large animated banners, which has led to complaints that these make the site's content harder to read.[28]
The impartiality of the Have Your Say forums has been disputed by organisations such as News Sniffer: moderators are accused of sometimes appearing to promote their own agenda.[29] Have Your Say received much criticism in 2009 for featuring the question "Should homosexuals face execution?". The BBC later removed it and apologised after the BBC Pride board lobbied against it and Eric Joyce, the Labour MP for Falkirk, called it "more than offensive" and "completely unacceptable".[30]

I can't believe it's June 1st already. Where has the first half of the year gone? Here in Mexico we've had a heat wave for the past couple of weeks. Fortunately today it's only 58 degrees and summer is just around the corner. That means a lot of rain and therefore cooler days. Even though Mexico City is below the Tropic of Cancer the altitude is about 7350 feet above sea level which makes us have some amazing weather.
Winters can be a little chilly with temperatures reaching the lower 30s some mornings. Summers are cool because it is our rainy season. It rains every afternoon which brings temperatures down and nights are cool. Falls are the best, with cool temperatures and dry evenings. But spring is always the hottest season of the year. May is our hottest month reaching up to 90 degrees with high humidity levels some days.
That's why I've had ice cream on my mind. I don't have an ice cream machine here in Mexico, but I have a couple of good recipes I want to share with you to keep you cool this upcoming summer. I heard in some parts of the States the temps are reaching 100 degrees with high humidity levels. That's one thing I don't miss from Ohio! Anyway here are the links to past ice cream recipes. A friend shared the video at the bottom for people who don't have ice cream makers. Pretty funny technique but it might work!
Blackberry Flan Ice Cream (my favorite)
I think this summer will be very good for my cooking and my life in general (unlike the last one, hehe) Are you ready for Summer 2011?
¡Buen provecho!

.- A member of the Pontifical Academy for Life's board of directors recently explained that Pope John Paul II will be remembered as "a great lover of life and defender" of the unborn.
Patricio Ventura-Junca, who is also director of the Center for Bioethics at the Catholic University of Chile, spoke with CNA on Jan. 17 about his reaction to John Paul II's upcoming beatification.
The Vatican announced that the late Pope will be beatified May 1.
Ventura-Junca expressed joy at the announcement and noted that the late Pope embraced advances in biology as well as the idea that "nobody has the right to eliminate an innocent person."
He was "a great visionary because he realized that the future of the world depends on the family, because it is precisely in the family where values and faith are passed on," Ventura-Junca added.
He also said by beatifying John Paul II, the Church is providing a model for all Christians and non-Christians. "The number of people who came together at his death showed it. I believe he was a man who went way beyond the borders of the Vatican, traversed the world and also brought Christian thought beyond Christians," he said.
"John Paul II the Great was a man ahead of his time because he trusted in the laity" to participate as members of the Church in disciplines such as science, philosophy and bioethics.

This is one of my favorite shades in the range, a great turquoise shade. I really can't think of anyone who would not like it!
It works great as an eyeliner, under the lower lash line (for a pop of color) or as an eyeshadow base all over the lid.
The pencil is very smooth in application and glides on like a dream. I even feel sorry when I have to sharpen it! So much use you get of these - I think it is great.
These pencils might be pricey for some people, so if you want an extra opinion there is a good blog post on this that I leave below. Hope it helps!

Beautiful blue shade, very mermaid-y.
Wouldn't seek out this colour, but its a gorgeous pop of colour.
Staying power is as usual with UD 24/7 eyeliners, quite good.

These are the best eyeliner pencils. You can't go wrong with any color. Forever loyal to the 24-7 pencil. Love using these bright gorgeous colors on the lower lash line and blending them out with a similar color eye-shadow. Also love to use the bronze colors as well! In all, these pencils are amazing. A bit pricey but a must have!

This is actually my favorite eyeliner from urban decay because I love the bright color and it really complements brown eyes. I use it on my waterline all the time.

This is my first review on this site. I hardly ever review products unless I REALLY like them. With that said, Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencil in Electric is hands down one of the best eyeliners I've ever tried (and trust me, I've tried a LOT of eyeliners...you should see the top of my dresser alone, lol). It goes on SO incredibly smooth and the color is to die for.
I have dark brown eyes and I use the liner on my bottom lids only. I put it under my lower lashline and apply my usual brown-black liner on my lower lash line but on the inner rims, so the brown-black overlaps the blue a bit and looks smoothly blended, not gaudy.
The only "gripe" I have (if I have to have one) is the price. These pencils are about $18 a piece which is a little steep for me, but like I said, these are so worth it.
There are other colors in the 24/7 line that I really like as well, such as Dime and Asphyxiate, but Electric is definitely my all-time favorite. Can't live without it!

Bright eyeliners seem weird and off-putting at first, but they can look really good. This is a really cool color and it pops on pale skin, though I think it would look good on all skin types, tbh. If you're feeling lazier and don't want to mess with a lot of makeup, just a quick tightlining with this color and some mascara and you're good to go. I think UD's eyeliners are highly pigmented and have pretty good staying power. They might look a little bit smudged by the end of the day, but I haven't met a friendly eyeliner that DIDN'T smudge, really.
I can't say I would rebuy this, though. It's a good color, but it's not THAT good.

Electric is a gorgeous bright blue, super easy to apply, doesnt run or smudge and wears all day! Sadly i don't wear it very often because my eyes are green and it doesnt really suit them, which would probably mean my face loses a lippy...

You know, I kinda have to laugh at myself for thinking that my previous "favourite blue eyeliners" were 5/5. This eyeliner puts all of my previous blue eyeliners to shame, on all counts. This has the best staying power. They really aren't kidding when they say 24/7 glide-on. It's smooth as can be. No tugging whatsoever. I have always loved my Annabelle blue eyeliners. But what a difference. Those ones tend to tug. They tend to dull right down and require a lot of sharpening. Not to mention the colour fades. This Urban Decay pencil is perfect. It glides on electric blue in the morning, and by night it's STILL electric blue. Gotta love when products advertise TRUTH! The price is a lot higher than I'd like to spend, but at the same time, I will continue to repurchase because I am impressed with these liners and they are certainly worth the money spent. I have always loved the way blue liner looks paired with my brown eyes and tanned skin. Very appealing. Now I am positive I found that perfect blue to do the enhancing.
