Believe it or Not, My Life is Based on a True Story :-)
So there I was ... tied to the bedpost ... with ... motor oil rubbed all over my body ... and ... he walked in with a pair of jumper cables and a saddle ... " OK , so that didn't actually happen, nor is it likely to, however, I have made that statement in a clearly audible voice to my friend(s) while in a crowded elevator for the pure entertainment of it - Thank you Jeff Foxworthy :-). And yes, I approach everything in life with the same wicked enthusiasm -- Mary Poppins (Practically Perfect In Every Way) on the outside and Donald Duck on the inside. :-P Here is the scoop: I'm successful in what I do, top heavy (both in brain and chest), am a professionally trained dancer with an IQ of 166 who writes computer code and has her degree in psychology. I think that pretty much makes me a walking definition of "well rounded." I started performing on stage when I was 3, writing computer programs since I was 10, piloting airplanes at 21, know my salad fork from my dinner fork and while most see me as an alpha, I am just as happy being behind the scenes. Yes, I can carry a conversation or lecture, however, I prefer listening and observing to talking. I solve problems with a focused passion and will often pass the credit to others while shouldering the blame no matter the origin. Born in Europe, I have traveled and lived all over the world including a few places within the U.S., largely in the South. And if an FBI linguist could not tell where I was from, chances are I don't have an accent. What about you? Can you capture the imagination with endorphins and skillfully walk the teeter-totter of extremes? Do you know how to take the lead as well as follow? Are you driven? Creative? Industrious? Kind? Passionate? Personable? I am looking for someone who is independent enough to carry on a conversation with anyone in the room without needing to be by my side, and yet have enough of a connection to where we catch each other's eye above the crowd every so often. And if you can dance, analyze or write beautifully, then even better. CAVU

"good for a cheap XP printer"
October 30, 2009
By Koolch
Version: SHARP AM-900 18.104.22.168
runs great in xp
do update drivers for vista or w7
I am terribly disappointed in Sharp for dropping the ball on drivers. It is a PRINTER! In 2009, if you cant build a printer that can run on more than ONE os, that is poor engineering. The printer is a fine product, too bad Sharp doesn't care about customers and recommends buying a new printer. Sure I did, but it was NOT a Sharp and nver will buy from them again!
ps. Printer still works fine after 4 years (as a copier).

Poetic Terms and TechniquesPoetic terms and techniquesPoetic Terms and Techniques1 year ago in Literature Features More Like This
This article aims to give you a brief introduction to some poetic terms with which you can bemuse your friends and nonplus your enemies. Try and sling some of these terms into a casual conversation and watch the ensuing confusion.
If you don't want to confuse people, you could use these terms to discuss poetry like a badass
while smoking unfiltered cigarettes in a French cafe, when critiquing, or to give your own poetry a bit of a vajazzle.
These terms are arranged vaguely into alphabetical order for your convenience. Some of them will be covered in more detail in other articles throughout the week.
Alliteration (see also Sibilance)
Alliteration is the repetition of consonant sounds, often used for a specific effect in poetry.

As I usually do, I'm gonna have a look through my old journals and list the highlights of the year for me:
I became a political activist for a few months, and went to some anti ACTA protests! Not many people showed up in Scotland though. I've kinda lost interest in all of that stuff now, since I'm not a student anymore.
Went to see Dropkick Murphys. I should go to more gigs.
Got interested in upcoming technologies like 3D printing, synthetic biology, Mars missions etc, and the idea of a technological Singularity. Still reading a lot of popular science books.
Some notable games I've played this year: Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, Zelda: Spirit Tracks, Zelda: Minish Cap, Rayman Origins, Fez, Dodonpachi Resurrection, Torchlight, Titan Quest, Kirby: Knightmare in Dreamland, Magicka, World of Goo, Binding of Isaac, Terraria, a ton of Minecraft, and probably a bunch of others which I forgot.

The Call of Cthulhu (for beginning readers)Howdy friends,The Call of Cthulhu (for beginning readers)1 year ago in Personal More Like This
There has been an exciting development!
A couple of months ago, the folks at Chaosium Inc. [ http://www.chaosium.com/ ], the publishers of the Call of Cthulhu roleplaying game, confirmed their desire to publish The Call of Cthulhu (for beginning readers). When I received word I immediately began revising the now almost two-year-old text and illustrations to ensure that the print version is of the highest possible quality. I am currently about a third of the way through this process, and thought it would be good time to let you all know that the oft-requested dead tree edition of this story looks like it is actually becoming a reality.
I continue to be grateful for the encouragement of the folks around here, and I look forward to updating you all with any further news as it arrives.
In the meantime, I'm posting up the pages of The Statement of Randolph Carter (for beginning readers) I was working on when the word came through from Ch

I ask that all my commissioners read this and agree with my terms before commissioning me.
These are the starting prices with examples of each different type of commission. If your commission is larger and more complex, it will cost more; likewise, if it is very small and considerably simpler than the examples I show here I will work with you to price it lower than the stated price.
To have a background added or have your art done on special patterned paper costs extra. Please let me know if you need either of these things done and I will arrange it with you.

First of all, I will explain a little all this .. whole process and how many times had thought of doing this ...
Before I birth, my father always wanted a boy in the family .. (at the end we were 3 girls) I been the first to born, so...my father had insisted on treating me like a boy, football ... cars ... I think the only Barbies I had were for my grandmother, even that I never got to play with them a while. Finally I grew up with these hobbies, especially football, and my behavior wasn't very feminine, in fact, I always was called "tomboy" and I ignored them...yes, I was in my "yupi" world you know x'D... and later it wasn't only football.. basketball too. I wasn't very good at school x'D
The fact is that at age 14, I lost my "father". Since I was little I was always very close to my grandparents and i live in his house since then, my parents and I have never been so close, my grandparents are my "parents" .. and .. when I lost

7 important traits for any artistHere's a checklist of 7 important traits to becoming a successful artist. It's not the 'ultimate top 7' but these are the questions I thought of first. Either way they are extremely beneficial questions to ask yourself.7 important traits for any artist4 years ago in Deviant Events More Like This
1 Do you draw even when you don't feel like it? It's an essential skill to being a successful artist.
2 Do you know what motivates you? The more you know about what makes you tick, the more productive you can become.
3 Do you constantly fight past your comfort zone? It's the best way to evolve quickly.
4 Do you set aside some time at least once a week to work on your own stuff? Keep those creative juices flowing!
5 Are you passionate about the work that you do? Keeping the passion burning will lead you to bigger and better jobs. Everyone wants to work with passionate people.
6 Are you prepared for the opportunities you're waiting for? Prepare for the opportunity now and they will come sooner than you think.
7 Are you nice to others? The most important ingredient to beco
DeviantART pageviews and feedbackI have been meaning to write this journal for months now, but since my 7th deviantART birthday is almost here then I decided to do it now. This journal will talk about deviantART and how to get the best out of it. After all I have been here for years now and I have seen many things, good and bad, and how to live with them. It isn't meant to be 100% informative but rather how I see things and what I think would be helpful.DeviantART pageviews and feedback2 years ago in Art Features More Like This
I will most probably start of with a small journal and improve it when I have more time.
Beginning - views or watches
First thing you should think about when coming to deviantART is if you are here to improve your art or get views and use it as a bit different social network. That being said, neither of them is a wrong option because it all depends of your interests and what you want to get out this experience. If you are here to get views and find friends who like art as much as you then your next steps are quite easy. Here is a shor

Hiraeth (Welsh)
What it means: A feeling of longing associated with displacement, but not necessarily displacement from one's original home. An intense yearning to be somewhere you are not. Hiraeth also expresses a sort of ache or longing for something of the past, somewhat similar to the notion of "golden" or "good old days," but with more ancient connotations.
Why it needs to be a thing in English: I speak as someone from a country

Netanyahu won a surprise victory in Israel's election to claim a fourth term after a hard tack to the right in the final days of campaigning that included the release of a video warning that Arab Israelis were planning to bus in voters to polling stations and a commitment that there would be no Palestinian state as long as he was in charge. The day after the election, Netanyahu backtracked, saying he was open to a two-state solution, but that the timing was not right at the present moment. slideshow

For a small car, the Toyota Prius already has a lot of room inside.
But there's still not enough cargo space for some folks, so Toyota is rolling out the Prius v, a hybrid car targeted at people who might be tempted by roomier crossover SUVs.
Crossover SUVs are also more powerful. Toyota may be trying to fit too much into this Prius. Although bigger, the engine feels overwhelmed.
Bottom line: Prius v buyers can load up their car but they'd better not count on not carrying anything too heavy.

An M×N coupler uses a planar waveguide to couple each of M input channel waveguides to each of N output channel waveguides, the input guides and the output guides being disposed on opposite sides of the planar waveguide. Uniformity of coupling is improved by joining the input channel waveguides to the planar waveguide in a manner to focus the beams emitted by each input guide into the planar waveguide at a common focal point located near the center of the edge where the output guides join the planar waveguide.

a planar waveguide having a pair of opposed edges that serve as entrance and exit facets for introducing and extracting electromagnetic radiation from said waveguide, said waveguide being structured to confine radiation propagating therein in a single mode in its depth without confining it in its width so that, in its width, radiation propagates as an expanding wavefront as it travels further along said waveguide;
at least one (M) single mode channel waveguide optically coupled to said input facet of said planar waveguide for introducing radiation into said planar waveguide to travel across said planar waveguide toward said exit facet thereof as a single mode in the depth of said planar waveguide and as an expanding wavefront in the width thereof; and
an array of (N) single mode channel waveguides optically coupled to said exit facet of said planar waveguide at spaced apart widthwise locations therealong to receive predetermined amounts of energy from the expanding wavefront of the input radiation.
2. The waveguide coupler of claim 1 wherein said input facet is shaped in a circular arc and said array of (N) single mode channel waveguides is equally spaced along said arc so that each receives substantially equal amounts of energy from said expanding wavefront.
3. The M×N coupler of claim 2 in which each of said M channel waveguides joins said planar waveguide in a manner that radiation emitted therefrom is refracted towards said center of said exit facet of said planar waveguide.
4. The M×N coupler of claim 2 in which each of said M channel waveguides is joined to said planar waveguide in a manner to have the axis of its channel aligned with the center of said exit facet.
5. The waveguide coupler of claim 1 wherein said entrance and exit facets are both shaped in circular arcs whose center of curvatures are each located at the center of the opposite facet and both of said M and N arrays of single mode channel waveguides are each equally spaced along their respective circular arcs so that predetermined amounts of radiation introduced by each of said channel waveguides on said entrance facet reach each of said channel waveguides on said exit facet.
6. The M×N coupler of claim 1 in which said N channel waveguides join said planar waveguide along said exit facet where said exit facet is a straight edge.
7. The M×N coupler of claim 6 in which the width of each channel of the N channel waveguides increases with its distance from said center.
8. The M×N coupler of claim 7 in which at least some of the waveguides of at least one of the array of channel waveguides are fanned-out to increase the spacing between said some waveguides at a coupling plane.
This invention relates generally to optical coupling and particularly to an optical coupler that divides the optical energy of any one of M inputs among N outputs.
In optical systems which involve the transmission of guided light between two locations, there is often a need for dividing light that has been transmitted along one or more channel waveguides among several channel waveguides for further transmission.
Typically, M×N prior art couplers have been complex and not easily manufactured or else have been inefficient and have provided undesirably wide variations in the degree of coupling between different ports. The present invention seeks to provide a coupler with M×N ports that is easy and relatively inexpensive to fabricate.
In an M×N coupler in accordance with the invention, an input array of channel waveguides and an output array of similar guides are joined to opposite edges of a planar wave guide and at least one of the two opposite edges is designed for focusing all of the beams exiting from the associated array of guides towards a common focal point located near the center of the other opposite edge. This is done either by orienting the channels of the exiting beams so that their axes lie along radii of the common focal point or by shaping the exit faces of such channels to refract their exiting beams to focus at the central point.
In the preferred embodiment of the invention, each of the two opposed edges of the planar wave guide is designed in the manner discussed so that the input and output arrays are disposed in a confocal arrangement.
To further increase the uniformity of the coupling, the width of the channel of an individual waveguide may be adjusted to compensate for its distance from the central point of the joining edge.
Similarly, fan-out may be used to increase the separation of individual waveguides where they are to be coupled to other waveguides.
The invention will be better understood from the following more detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 shows, in schematic plan view, the basic form of coupler fundamental to the invention;
FIG. 2 shows, schematically, an M×N coupler in accordance with one embodiment of the invention; and
FIG. 3 shows, schematically, an M×N coupler in accordance with another embodiment of the invention.
In FIG. 2, there is shown an M×N star coupler in accordance with the present invention in which each of the M identical channel waveguides 31 is coupled to each of the N identical channel waveguides 32 by way of the intermediate planar waveguide 30. The edge 30A along which each of the channel waveguides 31 is joined to the planar waveguides corresponds essentially to the arc of a circle whose center B is near the center of the opposite edge 30B of the planar waveguide 30 and the axis of each channel waveguide 31 is essentially radially aligned with point B. Edge 30B is similarly shaped with respect to a point A at the center of edge 30A, and the axis of each of the channel waveguides 32 is essentially radially aligned with point A. The two arrays may be described as confocally disposed with respect to the planar waveguide 30. Typically, points A and B may be spaced between about 0.1 millimeters and 1.0 centimeters apart depending on the number of ports being intercoupled.
The spacing between channel waveguides advantageously is as close as possible without introducing evanescent coupling between adjacent waveguides.
In this coupler, the portions of the edge 30A which serve as the input planes of the plane waveguide 30 are all angled to be perpendicular to their associated channel waveguide so that the wave exits without bending. Moreover, it is usually desirable that each of channel waveguides 31 and 32 be single mode guides.
As such, the width of each of the guides is determined by the wavelength of the optical wave being transmitted and the index of refraction of the channel. Typically, for operation at about 0.8 microns wavelength with silver-doped channels formed in soda-lime glass substrates by ion-exchange, the width of each channel guide is about 1 to 2 microns wide, and their separation at the edges 30A and 30B may be several microns, so that arrays of 64 input and 64 output ports can readily be accommodated.
The depths of the channel waveguides and the planar waveguide are essentially the same and typically somewhat less than a micron. This depth is determined by the length of time the glass substrate is exposed to the ion-exchange treatment in the formation of the waveguides.
The channel waveguides generally are patterned by photolithographic techniques involving masks. In some instances it may prove desirable to simplify the preparation of the masks used for defining the channel by using a parallel array of channel waveguides to couple to the planar waveguide rather than radially aligned channel waveguides.
In FIG. 3, there is shown a coupler 40 in accordance with the present invention that employs a parallel array of M channel waveguides 41 which are joined to the planar waveguide 42 along edge 42A. In this instance, the portions of the edge 42A which serve as the input planes of the various channel waveguides 41 are appropriately angled so that they largely lie along an arc of a circle whose center is at C. Accordingly, each of the beams exiting from the individual channel waveguides 41 is refracted to the focal point C at the opposite edge 42B of the planar waveguide 42. This design makes it convenient to arrange each of the channel waveguides to be parallel to one another, as shown, and to make all of the input plane portions straight. These factors simplify the preparation of the mask used to define this geometry.
In this coupler, additionally, the array of N output channels waveguides 43 are shown joined to the opposite edge 42B of the planar guide 42, that is straight, rather than curved, at some sacrifice in uniformity of coupling. Advantageously, the waveguides 43 are centered about point C. It is, of course, feasible to utilize an output array of channel waveguides in the manner of input array so that the wave energy received in each output channel wave guide is also refracted to be launched appropriately along the output channel guide with minimum coupling loss. However, the use of the arrangement shown further simplifies the preparation of the mask. Accordingly, when this becomes an important consideration, the arrangement of output couplers depicted in FIG. 3 may sometimes be preferred.
As previously indicated, it is usually desirable to pack the individual channels of both the input and output arrays of channel fibers as closely as possible where each joins the planar waveguide to improve the filling factor for maximum efficiency as well as for increased compactness. Typically, this may involve spacing of only several microns, for example, between 3 and 6 microns, between channel waveguides where they join the planar waveguide. However, this spacing is too close if each channel waveguide is to couple along a common plane separately to an optical fiber that typically will have a diameter larger than this spacing.
To solve this problem, the various output channel waveguides may be spread apart as widely as desired by the fan-out pattern shown in FIG. 3 in which each channel waveguide 43 is appropriately redirected as shown so that at the coupling plane 45 that extends normal to the output edge 42B, the various channel waveguides may be widely separated for easy coupling to the fibers 46. Of course, necessary precautions should be taken to insure that the bend is gradual enough to avoid large bending losses.
There may similarly be fanned-out the input ends of the input array of channel waveguides 41, if this is desired.
As previously indicated, the parallel arrangement depicted in FIG. 3 for the output array of channel waveguides tends to non-uniformity in coupling in the absence of special measures, if the output array of channel waveguides 43 are identical. In particular, the further an individual output channel wave 43 is from the central point C, the less energy it will typically capture since the concentration of wave energy along the edge 42B falls off with increasing distance from C. To compensate, the widths of the individual channels of waveguides 43 may be tailored so that the further a waveguide is from the central point C, the wider the width of its channel at edge 42B where it joins the planar waveguide 42, and the correspondingly larger amount of wave energy captured. If maintaining each channel waveguide to be single mode is critical, care needs to be taken to avoid making the waveguide multi-mode as the channel is widened. By decreasing the amount of dopant in the channel to reduce its index of refraction as the width of the channel is widened, the modal properties of the waveguide may be essentially maintained. This selective widening technique can similarly be used, if desired, to improve the uniformity of coupling between the output guides of the coupler shown in FIG. 2.
It should be appreciated that couplers are sometimes needed to be reciprocal in which the roles of the input and output guides are reversed so that the various factors mentioned in connection with the waveguides described as the input wave guides would be applicable to the waveguides described as the output waveguides and vice versa.
A simple form of the inventive coupler is depicted in FIG. 1 in which an input channel waveguide 10 is shown joined to one straight edge 12A of a planar waveguide 12 whose other straight edge 12B is joined to an array of identical output waveguides 13A, 13B . . . 13J which are uniformly spaced apart along the edge 12B.
It can be readily appreciated that as the wave energy in the input waveguide 10 enters the wide planar waveguide 12, it expands into a spherical beam and that the waveguide 13F, directly opposite waveguide 10, and so best positioned for coupling to it, receives more of the input wave energy than do waveguides 13A or 13J which are less advantageously positioned in respect both to distance and to orientation. As a consequence, the wave energy introduced by waveguide 10 is divided non-uniformly between the waveguides 13A . . . 13J.
This non-uniformity is more severe when, instead of a single waveguide joined to the edge 12A, there is joined an array of such waveguides, as is the case along the edge 12B, and wave energy supplied by any one of this array is intended to be divided among each of the array of waveguides joined to the edge 12B.
The fundamental version of the inventive integrated optic coupler shown in FIG. 1 in which the input and output channels are in parallel planes, although not preferred, can be used as shown, or easily extended to M×N form by adding more input channels, both versions of which can be successfully used in applications where uniformity is not a critical issue or can be compensated for by normalization techniques. However, in the M×N version of this embodiment, it is likely that M, the number of input channels, will be much less than N, the number of output channels because of the nonuniformity previously discussed.
It should be apparent that known photolithographic techniques in combination with known ion-exchange processes can readily be used to form the described structures. Various other techniques similarly are available for preparation of the couplers described.

Archived:FPS-Meter for Adobe Flash Lite v1.1, 2.0 and 2.1
FPS-Meter (Frames Per Second) v2.0 is very simple but extremely useful component for Adobe Flash Lite v1.1, 2.0 and 2.1. It will help you in optimizing Flash Lite animations for smooth playback. I released first version of this component on my blog sometime ago.
Here you will find full source-code of this component and compiled .MXP (Adobe Extension Manager Package) file.
Click the filename below to download.
The Code
- Create a MovieClip with 11 frames and make KeyFrames on frame numbers 1, 2 and 11.
- On 1st KeyFrame initialize timer variable.
var timer:Number = 0;
- On 2nd KeyFrame, calculate the FPS (Frames Per Second) value and display it.
txtFPS = Math.round(10 / ((getTimer() - timer) / 1000));
timer = getTimer();
- On 3rd KeyFrame, make a jump to KeyFrame number 2 to make it continuous loop
End Notes
You can also use same frame-based timers for doing other tasks, such as timely updating Battery Meter, Network Signal Strength Meter or reloading data from Internet.
Source-code for Flash Lite v1.1 is also included in the download and it is done in similar manner.
I hope this little piece of code will be helpful to you in your daily Flash Lite development.

Why Pepsi Canned The Refresh Project
by Craig Bida on Oct 29, 7:12 AM
After years of attention, interest and fanfare, earlier this year Pepsi let its much-vaunted social impact initiative, the Pepsi Refresh Project, quietly fizzle away. Today, if you try to find the project's website, www.refresheverything.com, you'll be redirected to the Pepsi brand site, where you'll encounter the amped-up marketing blitz, "Live for Now," a heavily entertainment-focused campaign that puts Pepsi back on familiar ground: the glitz and glam of pop culture.

Giving Season -- Are You Ready?
by Lauren Kade on Oct 22, 6:48 AM
The holiday season is upon us. Is your nonprofit ready? I've heard it called the giving season, some just call it year-end, but you need to have a strategy, because everyone knows that year end can make you or break you for the whole year. On average, charities receive 41% of their total revenue for the entire year during the giving season. I'm sure you know that already, so the question is do you have a game plan for 2012?

Seeing Red About Lousy Pink Campaigns
by David Hessekiel on Oct 8, 10:40 AM
I'm as far as you can get from an "I hate pink" critic of the breast cancer cause-marketing phenomenon, but I am frustrated by the number of bad to mediocre campaigns that emerge each October. These "me too" efforts damage the credibility of companies doing an outstanding job of mixing cause with commerce.

Park Rapids Council sets 2010 tax levy; will meet to discuss general fund budget
Park Rapids City Council has approved the 2010 preliminary tax levy at about the same amount as 2009.
The total proposed tax levy is $1,983,127 with $1,406,032 for the general fund.
"We've got a draft ready for the general fund but we need to meet and discuss the expenditures in it," said city administrator Bill Smith.
The budget is a repeat of this year, Smith said. "It's bare bones."

Cambiando Vidas is a U.S.-based, 501(c)(3) organization building international partnerships through the construction of houses for financially troubled families in the Dominican Republic. Cambiando Vidas is dedicated to the belief that every human being should have access to all of life's essentials – shelter, food, clothing, education, and the opportunity to realize one's full potential and ambitions.
The organization builds small, safe, affordable, concrete-block homes that are strong enough to survive hurricane-force storms. In addition to providing capital and labor, international build teams work hand in hand with the recipient families and community volunteers who provide much of the "sweat equity". By the end of the week-long build this unique mixing of concrete, people, and cultures reveals that people are more alike than different, and that a house is much more than a collection of concrete, metal, and wood.
Cambiando Vidas is not a charity. Every house remains the property of Cambiando Vidas until the new homeowner pays the mortgage in full. The houses remain affordable because they are made primarily with volunteer labor and the mortgages are interest free. Cambiando Vidas encourages sustainable economic development to work toward community self-sufficiency.
Cambiando Vidas, as you may have discovered while browsing these pages, is about people helping people...and realizing that by helping other people you're also helping yourself...for who doesn't want to leave a positive impact on the world? And that's why a key part of C.V. is volunteer work teams -- a dozen or more people who decide to put their hard earned money to work and dedicate man hours to provide a decent home for a very appreciative Dominican family.
We are currently accepting
for our 2013 Build. And yes, we probably can build a trip around your group. If you have a dozen people interested? If you like to combine relaxation with workouts, good work with good time? Well you've come to the right place.
us to get started organizing a trip that will change both your life and the lives of others.

So, I totally knew this post would come eventually, and it pains me to even begin to type this. Four years ago from today I was excited at the thought of starting school in a new city, and now i'm unfortunately leaving it all behind. Bittersweet is honestly an understatement when it comes to leaving the best four years of your life behind, but the only thing that pushes me through is knowing that I've made memories that will last me a lifetime! So cue the sad music and take a read through some of the best parts of college that i'll miss:
1. The endless sleepovers with my best friends.
When you get so use to seeing your best friends everyday, you tend to forget how amazing it is to be able to live with them in the first place. To stay up every night until 2am talking and regret it the next morning. To order pizza at midnight and stuff our faces without any judgment. To be able to just barge into each other's rooms whenever a problem comes up. It's definitely something I took for granted, and now with only a couple months left and us all taking our separate paths, those moments will be much harder to come by.
2. Meeting people endlessly.
With every semester, new classmates turn into friends and those same new friends turn into best friends. One of the best parts about college is creating bonds with people of the same interests as you. Believe it or not, we ACTUALLY talk about marketing during our small talk in each marketing class. Who would've thought I'd find my fellow marketing nerd best friends eventually?
3. Food around every. single. corner.
When will you ever be around all of your favorite food again in your life other than during your college years? My whole day typically revolves around what i'm eating for dinner. No, but seriously. You'll find that when every single food chain is located on one corner, and tons of trucks filled with every ethnic food you can imagine, it's kind of find it hard to NOT look forward to it.
4. The memories that happen in the spur of the moment.
11pm and not tired at all? A run to the art museum with your best friends never hurts! 4pm and craving breakfast food? IHOP it is! It's moment's like those that I know for sure are going to forever stay in my memories, as it was the unplanned moments that always turned out to be some of the best.
The word free will become your best friend within the first week of moving into college. Posters you don't need? Check. Endless pens that you'll never use? Check. Food? CHECK. Food, yes, food. That will be the best free item you will ever learn to spot out and track down.
6. Being overly active and inspired on a daily basis.
Whether it's being at work, at a student club meeting, or even sitting in class, college always leaves you inspired and wanting to do more. Penciling things into my busy schedule actually never felt so good.
7. The sense of belonging.
Nothing feels better than wearing cherry & white at any sports even and feeling connected to everyone around me. Despite our differences in hobbies and our futures, for four whole years we were all tied together by this bigger force. School pride became an indescribable sense of belonging somewhere you never thought you'd actually enjoy.

Triclosan, similar in its uses and mechanism of action to triclocarban, is an antibacterial and antifungal agent found in consumer products, including soaps, detergents, toys and, surgical cleaning treatments. Its efficacy as an antimicrobial agent and the risk of bacterial resistance remain controversial. Additional research seeks to understand its potential effects on organisms and environmental health.

Triclosan was used as a hospital scrub in the 1970s. Since then, it has expanded commercially and is now prevalent in soaps (0.10-1.00%), shampoos, deodorants, toothpastes, mouth washes and cleaning supplies.[1] It is part of consumer products, including kitchen utensils, toys, bedding, socks and trash bags.[2][3]
In healthcare, triclosan is used in surgical scrubs and hand washes.[4] Use in surgical units is effective with a minimum contact time of approximately two minutes.[5][6] More recently, showering with 2% triclosan has become a recommended regimen in surgical units for the decolonization of patients whose skin carries methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).[7]
Triclosan has been employed as a selective agent in molecular cloning. A bacterial host transformed by a plasmid harboring a triclosan resistant mutant FabI gene (mFabI) as a selectable marker can grow in presence of high dose of triclosan in growth media.[8]
Chemical structure and properties[edit]
This organic compound is a white powdered solid with a slight aromatic, phenolic odor. Categorized as a polychloro phenoxy phenol, triclosan is a chlorinated aromatic compound that has functional groups representative of both ethers and phenols. Phenols often demonstrate antibacterial properties. Triclosan is soluble in ethanol, methanol, diethyl ether, and strongly basic solutions such as a 1M sodium hydroxide solution, but only slightly soluble in water. Triclosan can be synthesized from 2,4-dichlorophenol.
Under a reflux process, 2,4,4'-trichloro-2'-methoxydiphenyl ether is treated with aluminium chloride.[9]
Triclosan can be synthesized through a three-step process starting with 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)pyrrolidin-2-one. The 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)pyrrolidin-2-one is dehydrated with either zinc or calcium oxide into 1-vinylpyrrolidin-2-one.[10] Then, 1-vinylpyrrolidin-2-one can be reacted with 5-chloro-2-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)phenyl acrylate in n-heptane to form triclosan.[11]
The United States Pharmacopeia formulary has published a monograph for triclosan that sets purity standards.[12]
Mechanism of action[edit]
At high concentrations, triclosan acts as a biocide with multiple cytoplasmic and membrane targets.[13] However, at the lower concentrations seen in commercial products, triclosan appears bacteriostatic, and it targets bacteria primarily by inhibiting fatty acid synthesis.
Triclosan binds to bacterial enoyl-acyl carrier protein reductase (ENR) enzyme, which is encoded by the gene FabI. This binding increases the enzyme's affinity for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+). This results in the formation of a stable, ternary complex of ENR-NAD+-triclosan, which is unable to participate in fatty acid synthesis. Fatty acids are necessary for building and reproducing cell membranes. Humans do not have an ENR enzyme and thus are not affected.
Antimicrobial hand soaps containing triclosan provide a slightly greater bacterial reduction on the hands compared to plain soap.[14] As of 2013 the FDA has found clear benefit to health for some consumer products containing triclosan but not in others; for example the FDA had no evidence that triclosan in antibacterial soaps and body washes provides any benefit over washing with regular soap and water.[15] Triclosan-containing toothpastes are marginally beneficial in reduction of tooth cavities and reduce dental plaque, gingival inflammation, and gingival bleeding.[16]
Health concerns[edit]
Triclosan safety is under review by the FDA[15] and Health Canada.[17]
Triclosan has been associated with a higher risk of food allergy.[18] This may be because exposure to bacteria reduces allergies, as predicted by the hygiene hypothesis and not toxicology of the triclosan itself. This would also occur with chlorhexidine gluconate and PCMX, among other antibacterial agents.[19][20] Other studies have linked triclosan to allergic contact dermatitis in some individuals.[21][22] Additionally, triclosan concentrations have been associated with allergic sensitization, especially inhalant and seasonal allergens, rather than food allergens.[23]
Triclosan can react with the free chlorine in tap water to produce lesser amounts of other compounds, such as 2,4-dichlorophenol. Some of these intermediates convert into dioxins upon exposure to UV radiation (from the sun or other sources).[24] The dioxins that can form from triclosan are not considered to be congeners of toxicologic concern for mammals, birds and fish.[25][26]
Environmental concerns[edit]
Treatment and disposal[edit]
The duration of triclosan in personal product use is relatively short. Upon disposal, triclosan is sent to municipal sewage treatment plants, where about 97-98% of triclosan is removed.[27] Studies show that substantial quantities of triclosan (170,000 – 970,000 kg/yr) can break through wastewater treatment plants and damage algae on surface waters.[27] In a study on effluent from wastewater treatment facilities, approximately 75% of triclocarban was present in sludge.[28] This poses a potential environmental and ecological hazard, particularly for aquatic systems. The volume of triclosan re-entering the environment in sewage sludge after initial successful capture from wastewater is 44,000 ± 60,000 kg/yr.[27] Triclosan can attach to other substances suspended in aquatic environments, which potentially endangers marine organisms and may lead to further bioaccumulation.[29] Ozone is considered to be an effective tool for removing triclosan during sewage treatment. As little triclosan is released through plastic and textile household consumer products, these are not considered to be major sources of triclosan contamination.[29]
During wastewater treatment, a portion of triclosan is degraded, while the remaining adsorbs to sewage sludge or exits the plant as effluent.[30][31] In the environment, triclosan may be degraded by microorganisms or react with sunlight, forming other compounds, which include chlorophenols and dioxins
While studies using semi-permeable membrane devices have found that triclosan does not strongly bioaccumulate, methyl-triclosan is comparatively more stable and lipophilic and thus poses a higher risk of bioaccumulation. The ability of triclosan to bioaccumulate is affected by its ionization state in different environmental conditions.[32] In humans, triclosan does not bioaccumulate as it is rapidly metabolized and excreted.[33]
Triclosan is toxic to aquatic bacteria at levels found in the environment. It is highly toxic to various types of algae and has the potential to affect the structure of algal commmunities, particularly immediately downstream of effluents from wastewater treatment facilities that treat household wastewaters.[34] Triclosan has been observed in multiple organisms, including algae aquatic blackworms, fish and dolphins. It has also been found in earth dwelling species including earth worms and species higher up the food chain.[27]
Resistance concerns[edit]
Concern pertains to the potential for cross-resistance or co-resistance to other antimicrobials. Studies investigating this possibility have been limited.[35]
A comprehensive analysis in 2007 from the University of Michigan School of Public Health indicated that plain soaps are just as effective as consumer-grade antibacterial soaps with triclosan in preventing illness and removing bacteria from the hands.[36]
Nonorganic antibiotics and organic biocides are effective alternatives to triclosan, such as silver and copper ions and nanoparticles.[37]
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the European Union[dubious ] are regulatory bodies for triclosan. In the United States, manufacturers of products containing triclosan must indicate its presence on the label. In Europe, triclosan is regulated as a cosmetic preservative and must be listed on the label.[38] The authorization of the inclusion of triclosan as an additive for plastic production for use in food packages is a legally contentious issue, as noted in the Microban International and Microban (Europe) v Commission case.[39]
In light of the health concerns, the FDA in the 1970s reviewed the safety of triclocarban and triclosan, but took no regulatory action. In 2010, the Natural Resources Defense Council forced the FDA to review triclosan after suing them for their inaction. Since the FDA prohibited hexachlorophene, a compound similar to triclosan, Halden and others argued the FDA should also ban triclosan.[27] On December 17, 2013, the FDA issued a draft rule revoking the Generally Regarded as Safe status of triclosan as an ingredient in hand wash products, citing the need for additional studies of its potential endrocrine and developmental effects; impact on bacterial resistance; and carcinogenic potential.[40]
On May 16, 2014, Minnesota governor Mark Dayton signed a bill banning the use of triclosan in most retail consumer hygiene products sold in the state. The ban is set to take effect January 1, 2017.[41]

As legend goes, Emiliano Zapata's birth was prophesied by the local witch doctor after his father's blood was spilled by a sword protecting a foreign landowner. A birthmark in the shape of a hand was said to mark him as the savior of his indigenous people. Zapata's community was facing a tough situation: newly landed Spaniards had been seizing agricultural land from the campesinos (peasant farmers) and essentially offering them little choice but to work as slave laborers.
Although Zapata was tricked and executed by a sly enemy, his spirit has become a figure of the Mexican identity. Yet, 100 years later, an ongoing struggle for control of this same territory (now for drug production) continues to punish those carrying his blood.
Three years ago, the village of Cherán, Michoacán, saw its citizens band together to fight organized crime in their town. I arrived in the middle of the annual fiesta, the first since the town revolted - the pride of their collective accomplishments was infectious.
Zapata is also said to have been the best horseman in Mexico. Many believe that he rides his white horse through the mountains of the south, coming to the aid of the indigenous peasants whenever he is needed.
This work explores the social environments of these Mexican mountains where the government is not able to guarantee the safety of its citizens. I am looking for the ghost Zapata, and photographing those who he lives within.

Hubbard County pot suspects seek court-appointed attorneys
PARK RAPIDS - A tearful Talora Ann Smith appeared in Hubbard County Court Monday, looking frail, using a walker.
She told District Judge Robert Tiffany that she must move out of her rental property in two weeks. That rental property on Becker Line Road was the site of a major marijuana growing operation, for which Smith, her husband, James Bernard Young, and two others were arrested last week.

Our beautiful villa is located in the Las Campeanas neighborhood at Tierra del Sol, Aruba's Golf- and Country Resort. Within this resort are a Robert Trent Jones Jr's 18 hole Championship golf course, tennis-courts, health club, a spa, a restaurant and a country club. In a 2 minute drive you are on Aruba's famous white sandy beaches. Perfect for relaxation, windsurfing or water skiing. The hotel area with shops, restaurants, casinos, beach bars and nightlife are less than a 5 minute drive away. Our home has its own private pool, patio + barbecue. The kitchen includes a full-sized refrigerator, microwave oven, cook top stove, Dutch oven and a dishwasher. The villa is fully furnished and equipped. All you need to bring is your clothes. We have a property manager in Aruba who would be delighted to assist you during your stay.
While this was our fourth trip to Aruba, it was the first time we have decided to rent a villa in the manicured development of Tierra del Sol, rather than stay at one of the high-rise hotels on the Palm Beach as before. And we are very glad we did!
From the private swimming pool to the outdoor and indoor furniture of high quality, from the well-equipped kitchen and the local original art displayed throughout the house to the professional landscaping and maintenance, this villa will satisfy all the demands of a home away from home.
In addition, having Anna and Matthew as rental managers, who were extremely helpful with all the information we needed, punctual and very hospitable, made this vacation one of our best experiences. Before we said good-bye, we had certainly decided to return again and again.

Hi Anna:
This property that you rented to us was awesome. It has all the amenities one would want when they are renting a property. Your hospitality was truly outstanding from picking us up from the airport to stocking our fridge with items that we requested. My sons Brandon and Justin had a great time swimming at the house.
This house was not just a rental property but felt like home to us. I plan to rent this property again in 2011.
Warmest regards,
Ian,Brandon and Justin
Matt, Anna,
I can't thank you enough for making our vacation in Aruba so enjoyable. The Villa was absolutely gorgeous! The description for the Villa was perfect to every detail. The pool was stunning and so inviting. What a wonderful place for a small family who enjoys swimming, sunning and most of all relaxing.
We will definitely be back!

What a great week! My husband, two daughters and I had vacationed in Aruba three years ago at one of the low-rise all-inclusive hotels and decided to try renting a property this time around. And we're so glad we did! This villa in Tierra del Sol far exceeded all of our expectations. It was well-equipped, comfortable, clean, peaceful, private, and close to the most beautiful beaches on the island.
We spent our mornings swimming and snorkeling at Malmok and Arashi Beaches and then returned to the house for afternoons of floating, lounging and barbequing by the private pool. Rather than take one of the Jeep Tours, we got a map and ventured to the north side of the island on our own to see some of the 'wild' coast and points of interest and discovered a whole different landscape. We noticed in our travels that day that the Jeep Tours seemed to be traveling the same route that we did so we feel like we saw all the points of interest…at our own pace…and without the pricey cost of the tour.
Along with our phenomenal accommodations, we sampled some delicious island cuisine and were never disappointed. We highly recommend the California Lighthouse for Italian food and the views. The Pelican Wharf, next to the Holiday Inn was very relaxed and had great local seafood/appetizers/cocktails/sunsets. We ventured into the city one evening and ate at L.G. Smith's Steak and Chophouse. Delicious! Then on our last night we went to Pan Pan Restaurant and unanimously decided it was a four-star dining experience.
Our compliments to the owners of the villa! It's beautiful…wish it was ours! And enough can't be said for the property managers, Anna and Matthew. They were a pleasure to deal with! From my initial inquiry of the property up until the day we checked out, they went above and beyond making our stay a wonderful experience. Anna provided us with car rental, grocery store, and restaurant information. They got us settled into the villa, answered our questions, and left us with their contact information in the event of any further questions/concerns during our stay.
All in all, it was a hugely successful vacation for my family. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a quiet, peaceful, relaxing vacation. We would definitely rent this home again and if it's not available, we would contact Anna and Matthew to direct us to another property that they manage.
