I think that great personal style is being true to yourself and speaking your mind, which, since I'm up here, I'm going to do. I feel that keeping gay people in the closet with our attitudes and action is cruel, and it's tacky, and most of all, it's boring. I think that we really need to respect each other and ourselves and respect who we are and what we are, and not be afraid to be what we are, whether we're gay, or straight, or insane [...] It's 1997 and respecting each other's sexuality is about the coolest thing I can think of.

The "hypervigilance, escape, struggle, tonic immobility" evolutionarily hardwired acute peritraumatic response sequence is important for clinicians to understand. Our commentary supplements the useful article on human tonic immobility (TI) by Marx, Forsyth, Gallup, Fusé and Lexington (2008). A hallmark sign of TI is peritraumatic tachycardia, which others have documented as a major risk factor for subsequent posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). TI is evolutionarily highly conserved (uniform across species) and underscores the need for DSM-V planners to consider the inclusion of evolution theory in the reconceptualization of anxiety and PTSD. We discuss the relevance of evolution theory to the DSM-V reconceptualization of acute dissociativeconversion symptoms and of epidemic sociogenic disorder(epidemic "hysteria"). Both are especially in need of attention in light of the increasing threat of terrorism against civilians. We provide other pertinent examples. Finally, evolution theory is not ideology driven (and makes testable predictions regarding etiology in "both directions"). For instance, it predicted the unexpected finding that some disorders conceptualized in DSM-IV-TR as innate phobias are conditioned responses and thus better conceptualized as mild forms of PTSD. Evolution theory may offer a conceptual framework in DSM-V both for treatment and for research on psychopathology.

I have a vegan friend at work who is trying to go raw and talks to me a lot about it because I've been 811rv for a little over a year now. One detail he just can not understand is why I don't juice my fruit and vegetables. My reasoning is that I just like eating whole foods and I think fiber is important. Lately though, he has been very determined to convince me juicing is the way to go. He tells me things like when you drink/eat juice your digestive system is completely freed up to work on other more important things, like cleaning your body. This is why juicing is so "cleansing". He also states that juicing is a more productive way of getting certain nutrients. Although I believe fiber is an important nutrient and works well with the other nutrients.

How to keep your house from being overrun by toys
Trust me, I know.
I was just thinking about this today as I reached my arm under that Great Space of Clutter that is known as "under the couch." I found a ball, a toy truck, a shoe, a bowl and a few pieces of paper.
Sigh. Didn't I just pick that up the other day?
We recently bought some shelves for my 2-year-old's room, which has helped keep her books and drum kit in order. I'm still having troubles keeping everything organized. We don't have any extra space in our house, so a playroom is out.
What do you do to keep things in order? I'm always going through toys and giving the unused things away, so that tip is out. Any help? I'd like to find my floor before 2008.

Angie at Baby Cheapskate said...I swore this would never happen to me. My solution? Think storage storage storage!
We have an ottoman from Target that doubles as a toy bin. Ikea is also a great place for stuff like that. Under the couch drawers/bins work well to hide clutter, too. We limit the number of big toys that get to stay in the living room (piano, ride on toy, etc.) to one.
It's also my rule that when the toys have multiplied to the point that they no longer fit into said storage containers it's time to purge and move the extras back to my son's room.
Lotta said...Everyday I throw away toys or toss them in a charity box. Every freaking day. Of course we have more McDonald's toys than anyone should, we were the last to have kids so EVERYONE gives us their toys and my parents think that every weekly visit should include a new toy. If I don't keep tossing and sorting I will drown in kidjunk. I want to make a button that says, "Want to buy a toy for my child? May I suggest a long term CD or contribution to his college fund?"
Nancy Toby said...Is that ALL you found? That's NOTHING! Try week-old half-full bottles they've forgotten about! Ewww!
My girls are finally big enough for clean-up time (yours may still be too young). We keep a plastic bin in the living room and a half hour before bedtime each night we have family clean-up time. If they pick up all their toys successfully on time, they get a sticker on their chart in the kitchen and much praise and their bedtime stories. If they don't, they don't really get punished, but we usually don't have enough time before bedtime for stories, so that's their punishment!
So far it's worked great most nights. Not perfectly, but I can usually see the floor after they're in bed.
Amy said...I got something very similar to this:
http://tinyurl.com/2pdt56 (Amazon.com)
only with soft-sided bins on sale at Toys R Them for the playroom. It's nice because the toys are visible, and they're open so my 17 month old can "help" (ha ha) put things away. I wish I'd gotten two - it was only $20.
The Legos are taking over our world - we have 5 HUGE bins full of Quattros (Dad is an engineer, 'nuff said). I keep them under the coffee table in their original containers.
We try to have a "one in, one out" policy - we put a lot of stuff in storage after Christmas, to make room for the new stuff. But just when I start to think, "Gosh, she really doesn't use that anymore..." she starts to play with it daily, so sometimes I don't do as well at this as I should.
Jill said...I'm ruthless. If they don't clean it up when asked, I clean it all into a storage container and it goes away for a while. I rotate toys obsessively so only a few items are around at any given time. Helps a ton. They'll actually play with toys more and be more likely to use them correctly (as opposed to just dumping the container or throwing them) if they've been gone for a month. Clear storage containers with lids help them see whats inside and makes the rotation easier.
Tara said...We have a large toy box in the living room. It used to be a cedar chest, my grandmother's hope chest actually. We put safety hinges on it, so it remains open all the time. No fingers pinched. All the "big" toys go in there. ie. larger cars (the ones that fit in the palm of your hand, not tiny hot wheels), musical instruments, etc) I keep stuffed animals in the bottom of my linen closet. The bottom shelf and the floor space. It's a relatively big closet, but if you can find one shelf to donate to stuffed animals that might help. In the kids room I have those bins that Amy mentioned. It holds the rest of their toys. "Little People", hot wheels, plastic "tool sets", "doctor kits" etc. And small stuffed toys like finger puppets and rattles. But I'm coming to hate the bins. Since they are removable one of the twins favorite activities is to empty the bins and leave a HUGE mess. Then they use the bins as step stools around the house. Or hats, or whatever else you can imagine a two year old would do with a plastic box.
I've been interested in looking into those nets you can hang from the wall. That might help with stuffed animal overload too. Hope this helps! Good luck!
Michelle said...Nancy, that's similar to what we do in our house. At bedtime, I set the timer for 5 min and we run around cleaning up as fast as we can. Once the timer beeps, clean-up is over, until after the kids are in bed, then Mommy gets to finish up, I also disinfect the toys every night. If there is no complaining, bedtime story is the reward. If Mommy has to do all the cleaning, there is no time or energy for a story. Once I started that and it became part of our bedtime routine, there have rarely been problems and whining.
We are living with my MIL right now while we build our new house, so space is really at a premium. We use lots and lots of plastic tubs with lids and we cycle through our toys. I also just went through and sold or gave away lots of old toys that we had too many of, like my son's cars and my daughter's stuffed animals. Generally with the stuffed animals, when one of them gets a new one, a comparable one goes bye-bye. I don't like stuffed animals, they breed germs and aren't as easy to clean as hard toys.
JD said...I got 2 of these storage bins from IKEA. (We purchased the cheaper $50.99 frame, with bins spent about $75 per unit). One for toys and one for school/art supplies. They work much better than the ginat toy bin that everything just gets tossed into, plus they look a lot nicer
SG said...Gee, every day it looks as though a bomb of toys has exploded in my house. I have a 19 month old and a 5 month old. Though I have been diligent, I think, in not having as many toys as other households may, I still have this problem. One of the solutions I found was to have a wicker laundry hamper (a tall one with a lid that seems to be a toy in and of itself) for the toys in the family room. It is easy just to throw the toys in there. (I also have a wicker laundry basket in the 19 month old's room for extra toys and stuffed animals.) The larger wicker hamper looks really nice and was inexpensive--no more than $20 from Ross. As I sit here writng this, I think I will purchase a couple more of them, one for the front room and one for the 19 month old's room. Then all of the toys will be hidden away in a decorative container that looks great. Anyway, hope the idea helps.
Mammacheryl said...I would say, once you've set up a nice storage system with shelves, drawers, bins, etc., if everything doesn't fit in there, you need to start purging more than just the unused toys. Seems harsh, but just do it. Fill the new storage areas with the favorite toys first. Once the shelves and bins are full, say that's it, and donate the rest.
Ethel said...Welcome to my home. While I was raised in a home that if a toy was left out in the pathway it was donated the next day, now I have to contend with my husband who practically cries if I pick toys up to toss.
But I believe that if a toy is left out, it's mine - I will remind the boys but before a nap/bedtime its time for things to be put away. Besides there are so many blessed things in this house I know they could live without it.
SG said...I also agree with the poster above who said fewer toys allows the children play correctly with the ones they have. Too many toys are not good and may often confuse the children. It's best for them to have a few and appreciate the ones they have rather than to have too many. Also makes for easier storage and clean up for us!
And a quick comment to the poster whose husband wants to cry if she picks toys up to toss: do this when he is at work or asleep. :-)
jessie from alabama said...I have some thing my kids aren't aloud to bring toys in the living room.. I can't stand to have a messy house. I have a almost 5 year old & a almost 3 year old.. the toys stay in there room,that they share it may get a little messy sometimes in ther room but they have to clean it up every two days.. I have to say it works pretty good...
Laura Snow said...I may be of no help! I LOVE new toys for my son and I hate to get rid of anything but at the same time I hate the clutter. I have a rule about toys staying in my son's room. He can bring something to play with in another room but if he's DONE playing with it, it has to be put back in his room.
When toys are seriously no longer used we send them to grandma's house to live out their final years. For some reason, the toys are more interesting at her house (go figure) and the grandparents don't have to buy toys for him when he's there (but it doesn't stop them!)
I don't send anything there that I care about. If it's a toy no longer used that I care about it's 'life' then I won't send it there. If Oma wants to throw them out the window I don't care. I gave them to her.
Stuffed animals really tick me off. Seems everywhere we go my son has to have one but after a week he couldn't care less about them. I sent a ton to Oma's as well but some I think have sentimental value and kept them. I am looking for a pet net. Right now they are in one of those foldable toy bins made of cloth.
Toy cars are also something that drive me nuts. My son almost never plays with them. I'm considering a donation for those because I can't imagine that Oma wants to step on them anymore than I do.
Thank goodness he's not so into legos or I'd be in a mental ward!
Christine said...On top of storage.. I also for a few years had in effect a ban on all barbies or barbie like dolls. This was defined as anything that would ultimately be stored in the barbie area. It was communicated for all birthdays and holidays... and anyone who dare but that million and first barbie needed to be aware that a gift reciept was needed or they could graciously keep it at their house so that they had something when we visited.
I was a ruthless enforcer of the toy bans.
It wasnt about her not having barbies.. it was about having too many. But people still got huffy.
Hey you gotta do what you gotta do!

According to Europe's car-safety gurus, NCAP, the Chevrolet Aveo is a safe car, as long as you don't hit anything head-on. Then, it turns into the most economical enabler of catastrophic chest compression you can buy. Singled out as having an "unacceptably high risk of life-threatening injury to the driver s chest," the Aveo nonetheless scored a three-star rating from the agency.

#8. This relief is from Dave Bennett's Video "Relief Carving in a Different Light". He has a wonderful teaching technique. This is in high relief with a three dimensional look to the finished carving. The carving is 12" wide by 10" deep, only half the size suggested in the video. This made the carving very difficult. A router was used to initially get the 5 levels established - then hand tools were used followed by power tools to do the bridge holes, the texturing of the trees and the window holes in the house. The carving was finished with linseed oil and the frame was hand made of maple to fit the carving. The carving is held in the frame very loosely to let natural expansion and contraction to take place. Proper lighting is very necessary for a carving of this nature.
#26. I had really wanted to do a relief of horses for some years and finally saw the most beautiful picture of two horses gazing over a fence. I carved it out of basswood and decided the rope effect around the oval border would look good. Minwax Prestain was used before the other stains were applied. I stained the horses with a honey maple stain, the hair with a black oak stain, the fence with a cherry mahogany stain and the outside edges with the honey maple stain. The rope and background had no stain. After the stains were applied, the whole carving was sprayed with Deft clear satin.

#33. Dolphins and diver from "Relief Carving - Patterns, tips and Techniques by William f. Judt". This beautifully designed relief pattern was very hard to execute especially at the relatively small size of 14" wide by 22" high. The carving was done on three pieces of basswood laminated together by a wonderful craftsman, Clayton Cummings. This carving requires many different skills. First cutting the oval and sanding the edge is quite a challenge. The routering is especially difficult because of the oval shape with the outer shell border and the kelp winding throuigh the pattern. Carving was a mixture of traditional gouges and also a variety of power bits. The background and coral at the bottom was stamped using a leather #104 punch. Because basswood is relatively soft you cannot stamp very hard. If you do stamp too hard, the basswood turns to mush and fibers are sticking up everywhere. The finish is the Sanding Sealer/Hard Paste Wax recommended in Judt's book. I am very pleased with this method. It is the first time I have used it. this carving took over a year of on and off carving to complete.
#16. Elbow Lake Cottage Sign - Entered in Canada's Capital 1998 Carving Competition. This sign was finished with the West System (epoxy coating) and a UV resistant varnish coating. The paint was acrylic. It is carved from 2" Basswood stock, 22" wide by 9" deep. I constructed the hanging frame of 2" x 2" with a fancy support bracket from Home Depot.
#4. Cougar from the book "Relief Carving with Bob Lundy". This relief is only about half the size suggested in the book, but it is one piece of Basswood 15" x 9". Bob Lundy gives excellent detailed instructions with great illustrations.
#7. This West Coast Haida Indian low relief in pine is from a pattern in "Step by Step Woodcarving" by Allan and Gill Bridgewater. I love the bold colors on the plain wood.
#98. "Pelican on Post" is another example of a low relief but a little deeper than the Haida relief. This was done on a 3/4" basswood plank with the bark on. It is a combination carving and woodburning project. Ensure that your initial knife cuts around the pelican's bill give enough room. So many students make this too narrow and the bill does not look right. Use a small dremel to get the area between the bill and the body carved out. Round over edges of bird slightly. Woodburn the feathers, post and grasses. Remember to only carve out the top part of the post. Finish with 2 or 3 coats of Krylon Latex Gloss or Matte spray.
#9. This relief of geese about to land was carved from a 2.25" thick piece of Basswood chainsawed by myself and a friend two years previous near Elbow Lake. I left the wood essentially as it was - no planing! the geese were wood burned to outline their features. The carving was finished with MinWax and buffed with a cotton cloth.
#20. I used a purchased plate of basswood beautifully turned by Clayton Cummings of Campbell's Bay, Quebec. The religious scene is from Bill Judt's "Relief Carving Treasury". The quote around the edge by Joubert from The New Dictionary of Thoughts was first typed on a computer; enlarged on a photocopier; individually cut out and spaced around the edge in an area marked by a compass. I stained the carving with honey maple stain, rubbing off the middle part to give it a lighter colour.
#21. Another pattern taken from Judt's "Relief Carving Treasury", this Sailing Ship was done in basswood not white birch as suggested by Judt. This is a very satisfying project which doesn't take very long to do. Judt stamps his backgrounds. The basswood does not stamp well and therefore to bring out the ship I stained the background with the honey maple stain. Be very careful with the stain, because if you get it on the border or the ship you won't be able to get it off unless you seal the ship and background first so the stain does not sink in. A nice way to display a small light carving like this is to use the stand as seen here. If you put this on a wall by itself, it will not show up very well.
#22. This relief is from a picture out of Bob Lund's Relief Carving book in the Gallery section. I added the piece for the head and horns to the original basswood piece from Elbow Lake. I wanted the head to really have a 3 dimensional look to it and give the carving the extra life I thought it needed. The area around the head was worked on with a power Dremel to cut down on the chance of breaking off a horn and to facilitate getting behind the head, ears and horns. The face was woodburned to give it more life. The whole carving was finished with Minwax and buffed.
#118. Finally a flower relief - a Calla Lily, from patterns by Mack Sutter in Floral Woodcarving. It was done on 2 inch thick basswood. I wanted to do this as an example for my beginner relief carving class. This is a very good pattern for a beginner to work on. It is simple but elegant. After carving, I woodburned the leaf pattern on the carving. I finished the carving with 3 coats of Krylon latex gloss spray.
#141. This Haida Mask was done in a class at Merrickville taught by Bruce Stackhouse. Bruce had taken a class from a native of Haida ancestry who taught at Bruce's shop Wood-N-Feathers the previous year. We had a lot of fun doing this project and learned a lot about the Haida art and the meaning of the various carved elements from a book called Learning by Designing (Pacific Northwest Coast Native Indian Art) by Jim Gilbert and Karin Clark. The mask was carved of basswood and finished with acrylic paints and has copper in the eyes.
#129. This relief carving of a Buffalo is from a pattern in "Wildlife Carving in Relief" by Lora Irish. Lora's book documents the carving of this animal very well and I would encourage relief carvers to obtain the book and follow her approach using levels and layers. If you have not carved using this technique it is well worth the effort. You have to be extremely careful in carving the horns as they are tightly restricted and will become narrow if undercutting is used to early in the carving. This carving was finished with 2 coats of double boiled linseed oil on the entire carving. Then the linseed oil mixed with "burnt sienna" oil paint (3 linseeed to 1 of oil) was applied just to the buffalo. Then "burnt umber" oil paint was mixed with the linseed and applied to the bead forehead and mane to make those areas a little darker.
#134. This relief carving is a face in profile. It is called "Old McDonald" and is from Ivan Whillock's book called "Relief Carving Techniques". I have not attempted the human face in my carvings to any extent and used this project to learn from a very accomplished relief carver. It was done on a 3/4" basswood plank sold to me by Harold Hawkins from our carving club. The wood was a particular joy to carve and the carving went very well. I had a lot of fun with the hat! The carving is finiched with 2 coats of Sanding Sealer. Possibly one could be more adventurous and stain the face or the background but since it was a learning tool, I left it alone.
#126. This relief carving is a front view face. It is called "Deep in Thought" and is another from Ivan Whillock's book called "Relief Carving Techniques". I wanted to see how the front view was to carve. It was done on a 3/4" basswood plank. You will note that in this carving all of the ground wood was removed from around the face. This lets the carving come out of the background a little more. I have changed the hand position in this carving as I thought this position seemed more natural. The carving is finished with 2 coats of Sanding Sealer.
#140. Called Native Spirit is from Lora Irish's Wildlife Carving in Relief - what a beautiful pattern. I was thrilled to do this one! And had great fun finishing it. The piece is done on 3/4 " basswood about 11" square. It is all reliefed from one piece - the frame is the same piece - no added pieces. I used a matt carbon black finish on the background to mask gouge tooling. It is painted with acrylics. The depth of the carving is about 3/8" max.
#142. This one is "Lonesome Cowboy" in butternut from Ivan Willock's book called Relief Carving Techniques. This is a wonderful book for all carvers - no matter what level they are at! The piece is actually two pieces of butternut laminated together. My friend, Bas Donaughue did an amazing job of laminating the pieces! Butternut is not the greatest for relief carving as it chips a lot and is a little dark to see pattern. I finished it with the sanding/sealing method of Judt. You put on a sanding/sealer (can be bought at Home Depot - Behr product) then you sand it with a 0000 steel wool. You then vacuum it off very well and then apply Minwax. Buff it up and it looks beautiful!

Not for Profit Pays Dividends in "Outstanding Year" for the Tenancy Deposit Scheme
In its Annual Review and Accounts for 2011-12 published today, the Tenancy Deposit Scheme has reported a strong set of financial results for an "outstanding year". These results have enabled the Scheme to reduce membership subscriptions and deliver greater service improvements to customers.
The reduction is in line with the Scheme's not-for-profit status and the aim is to reduce costs to members as far as possible.
In addition to reducing the cost of protecting deposits, the Scheme has invested substantially in IT and communications with the membership. This investment, the Board believes, has contributed directly to achieving the UK Government's Customer Service Excellence Award.
In their joint forward to the Annual Review and Accounts, the Chairman of the Tenancy Deposit Scheme, Martin Partington, and Chief Executive Steve Harriott state that "By any account, the past financial year 2011-12 has been an outstanding year for TDS."
Milestones for the year included the launch of the Tenancy Deposit Scheme for Landlords in conjunction with the Residential Landlords Association and the joint bid with Scottish partners of SafeDeposits Scotland, a custodial deposit protection scheme.
In March this year, the end of the financial year, the Scheme was protecting 870,968 tenancies with a total value of deposits of just under £1 billion. These tenancies were registered through 4,298 letting agents and corporate and private landlords.
During 2011-12, the Tenancy Deposit Scheme closed over 10,000 deposit disputes and the proportion of disputed deposits awarded to landlords and tenants was about equal. This parity comes from a gradual increase in the number of awards made to landlords and a decline in the tenant's share. This is mainly attributable to an increasing awareness among landlords and agents of the type of evidence needed to succeed in a claim against a tenant's deposit.
The recent programme of Adjudication Workshops, designed to offer greater comprehension of the dispute resolution process will have contributed to this increased awareness. As a result further workshops will take place in the autumn.
The prime reasons for deposit disputes are remain largely unchanged, with cleaning, damage and re-decoration at the top of the list.
Commented Steve Harriott, "These are an outstanding set of results for the Scheme. We have reduced membership fees and delivered greater benefits to our customers, and there is more to come! Customers are really seeing dividends from our not-for-profit status and they are taking advantage of our award winning customer service."

Chance of a Few Showers for your Sunday Afternoon
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WGGB) —
We are waking up to mostly cloudy skies this morning and the clouds will stick around through the day. There is a cold front off the our west and as it moves through the area later today we could see the chance of a few afternoon showers. It will be a mild day with temperatures in the low to mid 40s. Not bad for the second day of February. Skies will remain mostly cloudy tonight and temperatures will fall back into the mid to upper 20s.
As we head into Monday a storm system will pass to our south but it will just give us the slight chance of seeing a few flurries. A few inches of snow are likely down towards New York City, but across Western Mass we'll be too far north to see significant snowfall. Highs will be in the low to mid 30's during the day.
Tuesday looks very nice as we'll see mostly sunny skies with highs in the low to mid 30's. A storm system will approach the area during the day, increasing cloud cover by the evening hours. Models are in agreement that we will likely see a significant snowfall late Tuesday night through Wednesday. Depending on how much sleet and freezing rain falls during the storm, anywhere from 4″ and 12″ may fall. It will all depend on if the precipitation remains all snow. Of course, we'll keep you updated!
Groundhog Day: Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow this morning and traditionally that means six more weeks of Winter. Today marked the 101st time Phil has seen his shadow. Phil has been right with his forecast 39% of the time.
Super Bowl Weather: Sunday in the NYC area will feature a few sprinkles or light showers during the day but ends up mainly dry. It will be mild with temperatures climbing to near 50 for highs. It becomes breezy (if not windy) during the afternoon and stays that way through the evening with speeds between 10-25 mph. Temperatures by early evening will be falling into the lower and middle 40s (so still rather mild) and should reach the upper 30s by games' end. My prediction for the game is Denver 27, Seattle 24.
Have a great day!

Ringworm of the body (tinea corpus) is a fungal infection that appears as itchy, red, scaly, slightly raised, expanding rings on the body. The ring grows outward as the infection spreads, and the center area becomes less actively infected.
Ringworm is contagious. You can catch the infection through skin-to-skin contact with an infected person or by coming into close contact with contaminated objects, such as unwashed clothing or bedding. Treatment usually requires prescription antifungal medication.
A tinea infection in the groin is called jock itch (tinea cruris), and a tinea infection of the foot is called athlete's foot (tinea pedis).

Critical Review by Heather Neill
SOURCE: Neill, Heather. Review of King Lear. Times Educational Supplement, no. 4431 (1 June 2001): S24.
In the following review of director Barry Kyle's King Lear at the Globe, Neil admires the "clarity" of the staging and highlights themes of family and political disintegration in the production.
The Globe is transformed for this first production of the theatre season. A rough plank facing hides the familiar decorated back of the stage, and swags of fairy-lit leaves and twigs are looped around the galleries. The latter add to a sense of occasion, but not perhaps the right one, being too reminiscent of a high street shop window at Christmas. The rough boards are, however, in keeping with the directness of Barry Kyle's production.
The interlinked stories of the two families of Lear and Gloucester provide a means of exploring wider...

Dr. Matthew C. Turner
Control Systems Research Group P: +44 (0)116 252 2548 F: +44 (0)116 252 2619 |
Biography |
Matthew Turner was born in Northamptonshire, UK, and was educated locally. He obtained a BEng (Hons) in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from the University of Surrey in 1996. In the same year he joined the Control Group in the Department of Engineering at the University of Leicester to study for a PhD under the guidance of Dr. Daniel Walker. After completing his PhD in 2000, he stayed at Leicester as a Research Associate, working with Prof. Ian Postlethwaite. In July 2002 he took up a Lectureship in control at Leicester and was promoted to Senior Lecturer in 2008, and to professor in 2014. Since 2002 he has lectured a variety of different courses, ranging from Signals and Systems, to Aerospace Peformance. In 2000 he was a visiting researcher at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and in 2006 and 2010 he was a visiting researcher at LAAS-CNRS, Toulouse. |
Dr. Turner's research interests lie on the boundary between linear and nonlinear control. In other words he is interested in how largely linear control methods can be used for systems which have nonlinear characteristics. This has much practical appeal due to (i) the preponderance of linear controllers in industrial settings and (ii) the fact that all real-world systems are, to some extent, nonlinear. He is particularly interested in the design of additional control elements to improve the behaviour of existing (legacy) controllers. Dr. Turner is interested in both the theory and practice of control engineering. His post-doctoral research first ignited his interest in anti-windup compensator design and he has contributed to both the theory behind anti-windup algorithms and the implementation of anti-windup compensators on real systems. He was part of a Leicester/DLR team which implemented anti-windup compensators for pilot-induced-oscillation suppression, and has substantial experience in the design and flight test of anti-windup compensators. His ideas on anti-windup control have also been applied to various other aerospace applications as well as hard-disk drives and automotive systems. Another strand of research has been investigating the design and implementation of robust controllers for flight control systems. He has designed robust controllers for the NRC experimental fly-by-wire Bell 205 helicopters, the Westland Lynx and the AgustaWestland EH101. Recent research is looking into the control of novel actuators for vibration reduction in helicopters. Dr. Turner is also interested in classical absolute stability theory and its modern interpretation. He is particularly interested in multiplier, IQC (integral quadratic constraint), and novel Lyapunov approaches to absolute stability analysis. Former/current PhD students:

Even after a month after detection of sale of 'fake pesticides,' the police have not registered cases against the dealers.
Last month, agriculture officials conducted surprise raids in a dozen outlets. It was found that some of the shops had been selling 'fake' pesticides and crop nutrients to farmers. crops. After recording the statements of the erring shopkeepers and sending the samples to the laboratories to confirm their findings, the officers lodged complaints with the respective police stations — Tallakulam, Vilakkuthoon, Keeraithurai and Sellur — before sealing the premises.
According to sources, the police have not registered any case against the erring shopkeepers.
Following complaints from participants at the farmers' grievance day meetings that their yield from their fields was poor, pest menace was one of the prime reasons for the same, and that the doubted the efficacy of the pesticides, Collector L. Subramanian formed special teams to check the shops.
During the surprise raids, the agriculture officials found that spurious chemicals were used in the preparation of pesticides.
According to sources, a shopkeeper had been selling fake pesticides and other nutrients for over a decade at Kamaraj Nagar in Tallakulam. In the guise of an authorised dealer for micro-nutrients, he had been selling a mixture of spurious chemicals and water as liquid spray in flashy containers. At Old Kuyavarpalayam, the officials found a shopkeeper selling 'phosphate' in 500 gram packets — a mixture of sand and colour powder.
In a small house in Sellur, the officials found a man packing 'nutrients' in plastic containers. They were meant for selling to farmers growing vegetables in Kodaikanal and some parts of Kerala. The labels looked authentic so that the buyers will not suspect, the officials said and added a godown with goods worth over Rs. 10 lakh was sealed. But when the officers inspected the godown the following day, the goods had vanished.
Replying to an SMS, Commissioner of Police Sanjay Mathur, said he will check up with the officers concerned. Meanwhile, a senior agriculture official said that the Collector had written to the Agriculture Commissioner about the raids and the action pending with the police.
Welcoming the raids, Palanisamy, a farmers' association president, has appealed to the police to expedite action against the erring shopkeepers.

My high school biology, which was pre-Sputnik, was dreadful and it's a little hard to pinpoint why I took a freshman botany course in college to satisfy the science requirement. I found it interesting, especially the parts about the genetic basis of population variation and the concepts of succession in plant communities. I have a teaching appointment at the University of Massachusetts, Boston and my research has been with the origin of maize and its relatives. This primary research took me about twenty years ago into genetic conservation of the wild relatives of crop plants. Subsequently, I have written on plant genetic resources policy issues, reorganized the world maize gene bank and tried to assess the role of crop plants in the expanding human population and the exploitation of environments for food. My advice for someone interested in becoming an economic botanists is: 1) travel to see plants, plant products, and people in as many places as possible; 2) get to know one region of the world, a specific group of plant products and/or the evolutionary history of one of the major crops in depth; and then 3) think about the implications of how we are now using the plant resources of the planet and the consequences for the future.
Garrison Wilkes, University of Massachusetts - Boston
Continue .....
My junior year I took a course in the History of Cultivated Plants: Their Origin and Evolution and I changed my career direction from forestry to economic botany. I did a graduate thesis on Teosinte, the closest relative of maize, which took me the length and breadth of Mexico and Guatemala, where I got to meet a lot of indigenous people and their maize, beans and squash. I've been to India twice on Fulbright Fellowships and developed an understanding of crop plants in South Asia. Most of my research has centered in Mexico and Central America.

Daniel for Model Number ZGU385LSM2SS
Answer Daniel, If the knobs are turning to light the unit but will not spark then you will want to check the spark ignition switches and if they are good then the spark module is faulty.
Captdave for Model Number GE ZGU385NSM2SS
Answer Captdave, You will want to check the ignition switches for the burners. In the light position the switches should have continuity. If not then the switch is bad and would need to be replaced. If the switches check ok then the issue would be the transformer.
Note: This question is for the older version of this part, but we thought you might still find it helpful
Gk for Model Number GE Cooktop (ZGU385N)
Answer Hello GK. It sounds like that switch is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Look for loose wiring first and make sure all connections are good on the unit.
Gk for Model Number zgu385n
Answer Hello GK, Sounds like the start switch assembly WB18T10410 has a bad diode inside the center switch. Unplugging the unit is not necessary unless it is keeping the transformer hot all the time, even when not in use.
Robb for Model Number zgu385nsm1ss
Answer Hi Rob. If you got smoke and a hot burner knob, then I surmise that the burner switch and wire assy. part # WB18T10410 needs replaced. It seems like the wires are shorting to ground. Thank You.

Caroline Heminway Kierstead
Caroline Heminway Kierstead was born in Corning, New York on July 12, 1904. Her parents were Herbert A. and Ella May (Daley) Heminway. She graduated from Mount Holyoke College in 1925 with a major in Philosophy and Psychology, and a minor in Geology. After working in her father's law office for a year, she returned to school to earn a master's degree from Cornell University (1928) and later a Ph.D. from Indiana University (1941). She also studied over the years at Syracuse University, the University of Colorado, and the University of Wyoming. Heminway married Friend H. Kierstead, an electrical engineer from Pittsfield, Massachusetts, in 1947. He died in 1970.
Kierstead joined the faculty of the Geology Department in 1928 and retired after a long teaching career in 1969. She was promoted steadily through the department, from instructor when she began in 1928, to assistant professor (1932), associate professor (1940) and finally full professor in 1964. Elected chairman of the Geology Department in February 1946, Kierstead served in that capacity until January 1952. She also acted for a short time as the Dean of the Class of 1944. From 1943 to 1945 she took a leave of absence to work for Shell Oil Company, bringing along two Smith graduates. This experience gave her a useful understanding of the oil industry.
Keirstead was interested in many fields of geology, and was especially partial to topological and geological maps. Her field of research was micropaleontology, specifically the study of foraminifera, or unicellular shelled microorganisms. Her publications include many articles for scientific journals, one book, and a textbook; she also edited and contributed to several other publications. Her geological research led her to travel all over the world, including Antarctica and New Zealand. Additionally, she held memberships in many prestigious professional associations.
In her private life, Kierstead was an internationally known breeder and exhibitor of Pembroke Welsh Corgi dogs. Her dogs won several American Kennel Club champions. She served as president of the Pembroke Welsh Corgi Club of America for a period of time, and belonged to several other dog clubs as well. Also, she published Pembroke Pictures and Pedigree, an annotated index of the history of the breed. Kierstead died on June 17, 1985 at the age of 80.

The storm surge being pushed into the northwest gulf flowed back down the Texas coast causing 7 foot tides in the Port Aransas area (our home). The large waves and high water caused extensive erosion to the dunes along the coast. When this massive amount of water finally flowed back out of Corpus Christi Bay it caused a large amount of erosion to the backside of the island and all the channels leading back to the Gulf.
The good side to all this erosion was for beach combers. We started finding fossils all along the beach and channels. After much searching we found a few small locations where huge deposits of fossilized sand dollars had been washed out. Knowing it would not be long till they were recovered by the wind and water, Susan and i madly collected them. We still occasionally find some fossils, but not until another great tide washes through will we be able to find them again in such numbers. Currently most finds are underwater. Everything you see here (and at Sandfest) was found within 5 miles of downtown Port Aransas.
"Fred's Fossils" is closing out all product since my usual business of marketing with sand sculpture and computer education classes is taking all my time. I have hundreds of finished product, and buckets of un cleaned fossils. Make an offer!
Below is a small sample of what we sell. The Pieces with Silver hangers (the 'finding') can be used for any purpose, the intent was for necklaces, though some earrings were made into earrings and key chains. We also have many pieces cleaned and polished without the Silver findings.
Most Sand Dollars (we call them Sand Angels due to the commonly found 'ghost-like' shape similar to an angel with one or both arms raised) are found still in the sandstone or shale 'matrix rock' and have to be broken, ground and sanded out before polishing. A very few are found 'clean', and these often still have the grooves and patterns of typical sand dollars found on the beach.
There are 4 levels of pricing based on rarity of the find. Size (of the sand dollar) does not matter, it is color, pattern, polish and shape that makes the difference (there is no finish applied, the shine is created by hand sanding and polishing). It takes on average a little over an hour to prepare each fossil, though i tend to take more care with the rare finds.
Click on the image to the right of the price and description to get a large image showing examples. The images are large enough that you should be able to zoom in for a better look, though we have found that sand angels do NOT photograph well.
For more information email Fred Mallett at: firstname.lastname@example.com
Here is what typical find looks like before the hard work begins. Would you recognize them on the beach?

It may not be due out until May 9, but the black Wii arrived on the doorstep of Kotaku Tower this morning.
Check out all of that black! If you're looking to pick one up it will set you back $200, but includes Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort as well as the MotionPlus controller.
While the controllers, the MotionPlus add-on, the sleeves, and the console are all black, Nintendo decided to leave the stand silver. Odd.
Now to unwrap with zeal!

I alluded to this in another post, but I'm going to ask it here directly: If I assign a task to one of my collaborators, it completely disappears from my task list. Is there a way to know if/when my assignees has completed that task (short of calling him and asking him)?
Also, a note to the developers: Are you aware that when you reassign a task, then sync with Outlook or ToDo, the task shows up in those apps, as active, leaving you with two completely different task lists depending on whether you are looking at your tasks on the website, or on Outlook or ToDo? |
Jake Toodledo Admin |
To see your collaborator's list, you can click the "Collaborators" link. This will reveal all of their tasks, so you will be able to see what they have completed and what they have left to do.
Also, we are aware that reassigned tasks still show up in Outlook and Todo. Unfortunately, Toodledo can't do anything about this. The developers of those applications will need to fix their programs to stop this from happening. If this is something that you want, please let the developers of those apps know. |

I grew up istening to Ralph Snodsmith's Garden Hotline every Saturday.
I also remember Steve Purcell, and all the local news we used to get, when times were a lot easier and radio was a lot friendlier.
