Interstate 75
Mackinaw City Michigan 49701United States
(906) 643-7600
Midwest Living Review
Not for the faint of heart, this 200-foot-high structure is the third longest suspension bridge in the world.
The Mackinac Bridge, nicknamed Mighty Mac, is the world's third-longest suspension bridge. It links Mackinaw City on the lower peninsula to St. Ignace on the upper. Its deck is 200 feet above the water, and it can sway as much as 11 feet in either direction.
There's a reason why the speed limit on the bridge is a relatively slow 45 miles per hour—anything more, or even that, feels too fast with the wind blowing and the see-through deck. (Yes, it's true: A car did once blow off. A Yugo, but a car nonetheless.) Freaked out? Ask, and a member of the bridge crew will drive for you.
An annual bridge walk draws thousands to stroll across the structure, with shuttles providing a ride back.

Chocolate cake for the ages
Jennifer Buchanan / The Herald
Buttermilk gives this chocolate cake a touch of tanginess.

Rich, creamy ganache is an ideal topping. Pour it over the cooled cake, then spread it with a spatula.
Jennifer Buchanan / The Herald
To make ganache, start by heating cream just to a boil, then pouring it over chopped chocolate.
Jennifer Buchanan / The Herald
When making ganache, whisk the chocolate and cream mixture slowly to incorporate.
"She was an amazing, amazing cook and she liked to please people through her cooking. That's what she did," my mother said.
My mother, Rosemarie Mayer, and her sister, Josephine Myers (yes, the two sisters married a Mayer and a Myers), have such vivid memories of their mother's food that you can almost follow your nose back to their childhood on the family farm in Spokane.
Their mother, Angeline Pace, packed them lunches of homemade Parker House rolls and fried chicken, the envy of their friends. She whipped up big batches of doughnuts, enough to cover her kitchen counters (but not for long -- they'd all be eaten by day's end). She rolled out feasts of roast beef and spaghetti, followed by chocolate cake, for the boys hired to help with the squash harvest. Some of the boys, my aunt said, came to help just because of Gramma's dinners.
One of her grandest feasts, though, was the family's annual Christmas Eve meal. Among the dishes on her menu: prawns, stuffed artichokes, roast, pasta, salad, corn, olives and fruit, plus eight kinds of cookies.
She shared the holiday cheer with the neighbors, too, preparing about 20 boxes of cookies that she sent her kids to deliver.
Many years later, I, too, became a willing beneficiary of her treats, eating untold quantities of chocolate chip and chocolate icebox cookies. I couldn't keep my hands out of the scalille and turdilli, the traditional Italian cookies she made by deep-frying pieces of rolled or knotted dough, then dredging them in honey spiked with whiskey.
Her specialty was spritz cookies, of which "she was a master, an absolute master," Aunt Jo said.
"She made these beautiful little S's. They were perfect," she said.
Lacking my grandmother's level of both industry and artistry, I've never attempted anything so grand as what she achieved in the kitchen. But, like her, I enjoy spreading cheer through food, so when I need to please a crowd, I am grateful to have inherited the recipe for her humble chocolate cake.
Gramma served it to the squash boys, but my mother and her sister remember it best as the cake she baked for birthdays, frosted and usually topped with coconut.
No one knows where the recipe came from. My mother and aunt speculate about a few possible sources: The Dorothy Dean column in the Spokane Spokesman-Review; the Betty Crocker recipes printed on boxes of cake flour; a recipe from the Hershey's cocoa package.
Regardless of its origin, the recipe has endured. My grandmother handed it down to my mother, for whom it became a go-to recipe, and she passed it along to me. It was the first cake I ever made: I baked it, with some trepidation, for my own birthday party. I needn't have worried. The cake was perfect then, and it's been perfect every time since.
The cake is airy with a nice crumb; buttermilk gives it a touch of tanginess. And although the cake is lovely topped with buttercream frosting, I prefer to drizzle it with ganache, both for sheer ease (you can't beat a two-ingredient icing) and for the rich, pleasant bite conferred by bittersweet chocolate and cream.
Not long ago, a coworker asked for the recipe after I brought a ganache-topped cake to the office. Later, she told me she had shared the recipe with her mother, who had made it for a family gathering. After sampling it, my colleague told me, her twentysomething nephew declared that he wanted it to be his birthday cake forever.
And that, I think, would make my grandmother very happy.
Mama Pace's chocolate cake
3/4 cup butter, softened
3 cups cake flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cocoa powder
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup boiling water
To soften butter, cut into 1-tablespoon slices, separate them slightly and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9-by-13-inch baking pan.
Whisk together cake flour, salt and cocoa powder until well blended.
Cream together sugar and butter. Add the eggs one at a time; beat well, until the batter is fluffy.
Add the flour mixture in parts, alternating with the buttermilk and vanilla. Beat until smooth.
Dissolve the baking soda in the boiling water, then add to batter and mix until well blended. The batter will be quite runny, almost soupy.
Pour into the prepared baking pan and bake for 35 to 45 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Place the pan on a rack and let the cake cool completely before frosting.
Use the best chocolate your budget allows; the better the chocolate, the better your ganache. I've used both Ghirardelli baking bars and Scharffen Berger chocolate with good results.
To ensure a smooth, completely emulsified ganache, I've also found it helpful to follow the advice of Martha Stewart Living and let the chocolate and cream stand for 10 minutes before stirring.
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
1 cup heavy cream
Pinch of salt
Chop the chocolate into small pieces. Place it in a small heatproof bowl and set aside.
In a small saucepan, bring the cream just to a boil over medium heat. Pour it over the chocolate, add salt, and let it sit for 10 minutes.
Slowly whisk together the cream and chocolate until they are fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth, glossy and a bit thickened.
Pour the ganache over the cooked cake, then spread evenly with a spatula.

Whether you are visiting Chicago or from Chicago there are always things to do:
1. Visit Navy Pier
Navy Pier is a bustling 1.5 mile-long boardwalk that will please every member of your family. Attracting well over 8 million visitors per year, Navy Pier is lined with restaurants and studded with small shops selling everything from apparel to toys to Chicago souvenirs. While the shops alone can keep you occupied for hours, there are plenty of other activities at Navy Pier to fill your day.
2. Go to the "Taste of Chicago".
While Chicago is host to dozens of festivals each year, the Taste of Chicago is easily the most widely attended. What was once a small food festival on July 4, 1980, has grown to be the biggest festival in the city. It is hailed as the world's largest food extravaganza, attracting 3 million people annually.
3. Take a tour of the city.
One of the best ways to see Chicago is by tour; you get a unique perspective of the city, often with an expert guide who will tell you the history and story of each place you encounter. You can tour by boat and carriage or by foot. You can take a tour with a theme; some tours take you through certain historic or ethnic neighborhoods, such as Old Town or Greektown.
4. Visit a Museum
Chicago is a cultural city. You can find museums dedicated to every interest and every passion. In addition to the major, well-know ones, there are a number of smaller but excellent choices available. Chicago's Museum Campus is a somewhat recent addition to the city's lakefront. In 1996, the northbound lanes of Lake Shore Drive were moved so that the three museums in the area, the Shedd Aquarium, the Field Museum and the Adler Planetarium, were no longer separated by a median and were brought onto one campus and joined by a lush green field with a view of the lake.
5. Shop!!!
Just a few blocks from our hotel, you will find Chicago's Water Tower Place, a perfect location for shopping. With 7 different levels, you certainly have a wide selection for you and your loved ones. One of my personal favorites is CUSP by Neiman Marcus. They always have a wide variety of styles, from everyday relaxed fit clothing to a dresses for a girls night out. For the in between shopping, Water Tower Place, also offers dining options. This will allow you to relax and enjoy your meal and continue to shop all in one convenient location.

Comments about Light and Motion Vis 180 Tail Light:
This is my primary tail light (I use a flasher on back of my helmet), and I use this anytime I'm exposed to traffic. The beam is bright and wide. In my garage, it's not a spot on the wall; it's a worklight. The amber flashers draw attention and improve side visibility. USB rechargimg makes it easy to keep it fully charged. My only complaint is that it really only mounts securely on my seatpost. The mount doesn't fit rear rack tubing, and the light has too much mass to stay secure on a seat bag loop or rack trunk loop. Road bumps will shake it loose. Mine came off on a rough road at about 25 mph. The light survived with minor case scratches, but now I only mount it to the seatpost. The design is sleek and polished. It's entering its second yeat of service, keeping me visible in the dark Pacific Northwest.

What I did happen to notice while in the Non-Dimmie club was a comment that it was agreeable to not post... anything. Almost as if that was the object of the Forum. So to my mind the Non-Dimmie Forum is more a status symbol, a fashion statement or accessory if you will... A useless bauble of no interest... even to the people who own it. That's not very cool at all. In fact, it seems quite sad. It's just a very bad attempt at forcing a thing to be cool. Only by the unspoken agreement of the majority can this be achieved... Do we need it?.. Nah, I'm over it... I'm just fine where I am thanks. (For all you Non-Dimmies... There is no Emoticon to represent this but please indulge your imagination in imagining my mid digit showing you the way to head... I will not explain as to what you can do with yourselves once you have arrived... but I would imagine it would really hurt). Wink
No flare up intended with this by the way. People are Indoctrinated into thinking everything's an attack around here. I'm only pulling your chin hairs for a bit of fun banter... and to look hip and trendy and insightful and all that shit.
Well alright then. This thread is for making fun of Warhead in the most immature way possible. Completely behind his back!

"56 Yrs Old Needing Hand Rejuvenation..."
Since I'm so thin skinned I feared it so.. How can they just inject thin skin without my bruising .. Well Dr. Sarnoff can & is one of the few Dr's doing this for years and the results are just wonderful.. She's humorous and upbeat and her assistant keeps U calm throughout..

"Female WithParry Romberg Syndrome -..."
I suffer from Parry Romberg Syndrome which includes Partial Facial Atrophy. I have been through many cosmetic reconstructive procedures including sculptra and a fat transplant. These past procedures were not only painful but ineffective. The treatment I received from Dr. Hui was amazing. She used a combination of Radiesse, Juvederm, and Belotero. She was able to literally sculpt my face to... more
"69 Year Old Woman Looking Her Age -..."
I'm a 69 year old woman who colors her hair and wears it spiked up to look "youthful" and decided it was time to upgrade the face so that everyone would believe the brown hair (hahaha). I visited Dr. Hui twice, three weeks apart, and she used both Radiesse and Bolotero during each session. I will review Radiesse here and will write another review for Bolotero. Dr. Hui used the Radiesse to... more
"Radiesse for Nose. Manhattan, NY"
It was an absolute waste of money, it was one of the worst filler experience i had. I went to this doctor seeing a special in a tv show and turned out to be a nightmare. I'm surprised at the positive reviews here...please look into his yelp profile and reviews and save yourself from some money wastage. more
"33 Year, Radiesse Changed my Face..."
I have written one other review about my breast augmentation, click here to read my review. Since I had that procedure in Alabama I have been thinking of my smile lines getting fixed because the breast aug was a walk in the park and changed my life. Well I went in wanting juvederm, thinking that's what I needed. Dr H went over in a very descriptive and non-rushed manner that it's not the... more
I am 32 years old. A recent picture made me decide to get Radiesse for my NLF. First picture is what made me get the injection. 2nd and 3rd pictures were taken 2 hours after injection. The swelling was pretty visible. 4th and 5th pictures were taken 3 days later. All the redness and well went away and I'm very happy with the result. more
"60 Years Old, 3 Years Post Face-lift..."
See my review of doctor below.... Radiesse worked very well in my cheeks and chin areas...surgeons seem reluctant to tell you that a face lift will not solve fat loss issues in your face. Radiesse worked well for me. Belotero, on the other hand was somewhat of a disaster. more
"Perfect Improvement! - Darien, CT"
I was unhappy with some signs of aging and pinned down a root cause of what was aging all of the other young looking features on my face. So I narrowed it down to the nasolabial folds, which I read start to emerge in the mid-20's. I went into have a consultation and immediately got a sense of trust. Dr. knew excellent techniques to keep the area from bruising, icing area well before doing the... more
"Radiesse Issues - Distressed Bride..."
I have been bothered by my hollow eyes and dark circles for years. I finally summed up the courage to have them corrected before my wedding. I have always been very hesitate of plastic surgery because you never know the outcome. I did some research before my visit with my surgeon and told him, I was not sure radiesse would be a good choice for the eye area, that it is not the best choice... more
"Radiesse and Belotero Shots for..."
Doctor Bass was really great. My face still looks very natural, the fillers just peeled away the tired eyes, and made me a few years younger. Doctor Bass very adeptly used Radiesse to give me a facelift, then used Belotero to fill in my undereye region and plump my lips. Compared with a previous time I had had fillers, the procedure was virtually painless (although the lips are always very... more
"Terrible experience! - Mount Kisco, NY"
I went to see Dr. Neil Goodman in Mt. Kisco NY for a consultation for a face filler and decided to have him to it. He was very nice and suggested that the Radiesse face filler would be the right thing for what I wanted. DO NOT GO TO THIS DOCTOR. One side of my face came out fuller than the other! And when I went back to him 2 weeks later for my follow up, he wanted me to BUY more Radiesse to... more
"Well Worth It - Rutherford, NJ"
No bruising. Look and feel great. No one can tell I had anything done except they say you look so smooth, etc. I told the dr I did not want to look different. I do not want to look like I had something done. People are just telling me I look good. I did it for myself. My face was looking thin and sunken in. Now it if fuller. I did not have bruising. Just a little swelling for a day or two. The... more
"Dr. Raskin Obtained Incredible..."
Since I'm very thin and have lost a lot of the underlying fat in my face as I've aged, Dr. Raskin suggested that Radiesse might be what I need to look as I did. She explained how she felt that my cheekbones needed to be highlighted again as well as extending the Radiesse upward into the temporal area.Her aesthetic abilities are unbelievable as ( 2 syringes later) my facial structure looks like... more
"Radiesse - Scared in Delayed..."
I went to the Doctor because I'm 34 and wanted to start "maintaining" what I have to avoid any drastic procedure in the future. I was thinking to do Juvederm in my frown line between the eyes. Also I asked her what I could do for my little chin. Because I'm trying to conceive I didn't want to do Botox because it's a toxin. The Doctor told me my frown line was ok and didn't need anything.... more
"Dr. Rokhsar - Professional and..."
He has my adult acne under control and has skillfully injected my "imperfections" with Radiesse. more
"I Absolutely Love Radiesse - Jersey..."
Radiesse I think is the perfect filler for someone who wants to add volume to the cheek area and the temple area. I had Radiesse in those areas 15 months ago (one syringe in cheek area and one syringe in temple area) and it is still going strong!!! The great thing is that my doctor says I will only be needing minor touch ups in those areas from time to time and will probably need only one... more
"I wanted to look like me, just a..."
I wanted to look like me, just a younger version. I was nervous about having the injections, but from my experience with Dr. Bass, I am definitely planning to have Radiesse injected by him again. I recommend him very highly! The Radiesse he did for me was incredible. I look refreshed but not like a different person (which was my biggest concern.) The results have also lasted very well,... more
"I Loved Radiesse! I Would Recomend..."
I was nervous at first to have radiesse done on the sides of my mouth. I was unhappy for a few years at how much older I had looked with these lines getting deeper and more prominent. I found Skin Thera P medical spa through a friend who had botox performed by Dr G, and swears by him for cosmetic fillers. I went in for a consultation(which was free)and decided after meeting with Dr G that I... more
"Radiesse Drift from Temples/cheeks..."
Doctor had messaged the injection at the left temple to make it flatter, before I left the office. He said I should massage the areas firmly three times a day for three days. When I got home the injections in my cheek had swelled to my lower jaw line. The left side of my face is completely imbalanced with the right. I tried to massage it up into my cheek, but after several tries, several... more
"Swollen Nose and Face 4 Weeks After..."
I had the radiesse 4 weeks ago for naso labial wrinkles. Wrinkles were not that deep and radiesse did only minor improvements. One side was more improved than the other. Doctor recommended doing a second syringe to even things out but cost may be prohibitive.Hello, I had radiesse injected into the nasal labial folds on my face about 4 weeks ago. I i more

7/23/13 Royal Baby is Born
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Tuesday, July 23, 2013
KATE MIDDLETON gave birth to the royal baby yesterday. It's a boy. This is the first child for Kate and PRINCE WILLIAM. There's no word on his name yet. He was 8 pounds, 6 ounces and he's now THIRD in line for the British throne . . . bumping PRINCE HARRY to fourth.
Forbes.com has released a list of the Highest-Earning Celebrities Under 30. Despite being sidelined for several months due to hip surgery, LADY GAGA took the top spot, earning $80 MILLION over the past year. JUSTIN BIEBER came in second with $58 million . . . and TAYLOR SWIFT came in third with $55 million.
Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner are reportedly getting ready to end "Keeping Up With The Kardashians." A source says both Kim and Kris want to make sure they end the reality show on a high note leaving fans wanting more. The source says Kim wants to be with her daughter and Kanye, while Kris wants to focus on being a talk show host, and maybe start producing movies. The source also says the family wants a break from the cameras.

Kate Middleton is in London's St. Mary's Hospital for the birth of the royal baby. The royal family says she's in the "early stages of labor". Details are few, and there won't likely be more information until the baby is born.
Amanda Bynes was kicked out of a suite at the Ritz Carlton in New York City because she was smoking marijuana in her room and was rude to staff. Sources say Amanda was a nightmare from the minute she entered the hotel: She told the employee at the front desk she was "too ugly" to check her in. Bynes then offered the woman contacts for a plastic surgeon. She also tried to use chemical sprays to disguise the smell of weed from her room. And before she was kicked out, she racked up a $2000 room service bill… placing nearly 40 different orders, each averaging about $60 to $70.
For the second time, BILLY RAY and TISH CYRUS have called off their divorce. A friend of the family who works for E! says, quote, "They went into the therapy with the goal of divorcing in a way that was healthy for the children, but ended up coming out of it with the realization that they in fact want to stay together." On Saturday night, Tish posted a picture of the two of them snuggling, with the caption "Date night."
There was a story going around last week that GEORGE CLOONEY tried to put the moves on EVA LONGORIA while he was still dating STACY KEIBLER. According to Eva, that never happened. Eva Tweeted, quote, "As interesting as the George Clooney rumors are, they aren't true. George and I have been friends for years."
After weeks of scolding the paparazzi and even pawing at their cameras, KANYE WEST finally got physical with one of them. At Los Angeles International Airport on Friday, Kanye lunged at a guy and tried to take his camera. The man fell and was treated by paramedics. Kanye jumped into a waiting car and took off. He could be facing a felony charge of attempted robbery.

At the "Red 2" premiere earlier this week, CATHERINE ZETA-JONES was asked, quote, " Have you been mortified that your husband, in some ways, has become the poster boy for the dangers of oral sex?" She replied, quote, "Next question."
The Huffington Post website has compiled a list of offers that were made to various actresses to pose NUDE . . . and whether they accepted or not. JENNIFER ANISTON and ASHLEE SIMPSON both could have cleaned house. They were each offered $4 million to give up the goods, but both turned it down. --DENISE RICHARDS threw off her clothes for HALF that amount: $2 million. --DREW BARRYMORE and HEIDI MONTAG both accepted $1 million offers to bare their bodies. But MELISSA JOAN HART turned down that amount. --LINDSAY LOHAN turned down $750,000 . . . but then bit on a $1 million offer. --CARMEN ELECTRA posed nude for $500,000, but singer NELLY FURTADO turned down that amount. --JWOWW from "Jersey Shore" turned down $400,000 to show off her fake cans. --When TARA REID stripped, she collected $250,000. --JENNY MCCARTHY only banked $140,000 for being Playmate of the Year back in the day. But she's appeared in "Playboy" numerous times, so she's probably collected higher paydays from them. --KIM KARDASHIAN only made $110,000 when she posed for "Playboy", if you can believe that. Although they'd probably offer her MILLIONS now. And the Octomom, NADYA SULEMAN, came cheap. She took it off for EIGHT GRAND.
GEORGE CLOONEY reportedly tried to make a pass at EVA LONGORIA . . . while he was still with STACY KEIBLER. But she DENIED him. A source says, quote, "George told Eva that he was still with Stacy, but had plans to break up with her and was interested in being with Eva. [But she made] it clear to him that she would not date or be with him until he was completely single." If this hookup is going to happen, it probably won't be soon. Eva is now dating Ernesto Arguello, from the canceled NBC reality show she produced, "Ready For Love".
ANDY DICK was reportedly a DRUNKEN MESS at a party in the Hamptons last weekend. A woman who tried to help him by taking him back to her house quickly realized the error of her ways. She says Andy grabbed her breast, then he grabbed her husband's crotch and tried to kiss him.

The Huffington Post looked at all the various "hottest women" lists that have come out this year to determine which women are showing up the most, and in the highest positions. And they determined that JENNIFER LAWRENCE is the hottest woman of 2013. She's followed by MILA KUNIS and RIHANNA.
CORY MONTEITH was cremated this week following a private viewing in his home country of Canada. His girlfriend LEA MICHELE was among the mourners, but his father Joe Monteith was not. Joe and Cory's mother Ann are divorced, and there's obviously some bad blood there. But Joe says, quote, "I always loved both my sons and am going to miss Cory very, very much. I'm saddened at the fact that I couldn't have been there to see my son before he was cremated."
JUSTIN BIEBER has yet another tattoo. This one is a woman's eye, on the inside of his left elbow. He posted a picture of it along with the caption, quote, "Mom's always watching." It's not a replica of Justin's mom's actual eye. The tattoo artist who did it says Justin wanted an eye to REPRESENT his mother's, so he showed him some sample pics he had lying around, and Justin chose the one he liked.
EMMA ROBERTS was photographed Tuesday crying into the arms of her boyfriend EVAN PETERS. That was the same day that news leaked of her arrest earlier this month for ATTACKING Peters. Meanwhile, some pictures also emerged of Emma with bruises on her legs. There's no word if they were the result of the altercation.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie could be getting married at sea. Sources say the couple is looking into getting married on a British-based luxury cruise ship. They are apparently looking at the 49-passenger Hebridean Princess which normally sails around the British Isles with a focus on Scotland.

CORY MONTEITH died from a lethal combination of HEROIN AND ALCOHOL. But the British Columbia Coroner's Office says there's no evidence that his death was, quote, "anything other than a most sad and tragic accident." Meanwhile, sources say that Cory would fall off the wagon whenever he returned home to Vancouver and hung out with old friends, who were a bad influence.
Sources say KATY PERRY only took JOHN MAYER back on the condition that he get rid of his old girlfriends' numbers, stop texting them and take her out on date nights more often.
FERGIE and JOSH DUHAMEL are having a BOY. Josh revealed it during a taping of "Live! With Kelly and Michael".
We don't know why this is only coming out now, but EMMA ROBERTS was arrested on July 7th for beating up her boyfriend, actor EVAN PETERS. She was released because he didn't want charges pressed. Peters reportedly had been BITTEN, and also had a bloody nose . . . but sources say BOTH of them were getting physical with each other.
ROBERT DOWNEY JR. tops this year's list of the Highest-Paid Actors in Hollywood. He banked $75 MILLION in the year between June 2012 and 2013. He's followed by Channing Tatum, Hugh Jackman, Mark Wahlberg and The Rock.
You know how OPRAH WINFREY landed the first post-rehab interview with LINDSAY LOHAN? Well, word has it Lindsay is getting $2 MILLION to do it. You heard that right, $2 million . . . to answer Oprah's questions. TMZ's sources say Oprah's OWN network has been in talks with Lindsay's people for FOUR months . . . and the deal also has Oprah providing her with two fully-paid assistants and a stylist.

Staff Profile
Career Summary
In a general form interest in science, particularly technological and scientific research, was always the main goal in my professional carrier plan. Allied to the need of specialized learning, I understand that academic research can provide a level of knowledge to face the professional challenges of the present world.
I am currently a research academic at the University of Newcastle - Australia, where I have been awarded a PhD for studies in corrosion analysis and prediction. I initiated my studies on steel structures as a research trainee in 2004 at the Federal University of Vicosa - Brazil, where I graduated as a civil engineer in 2007. My interest for engineering scientific research lead me to the EESC University of Sao Paulo, Brazil, and as result of completing a master's degree in structural engineering in 2008, design guidelines for cold-formed composite steel and concrete beams were added to the Brazilian Standard of Steel Design. Research interests include structural reliability and assessment of infrastructure.

Research expertise
- Corrosion and Deterioration Modelling
Defined as the destruction of a material due to its reaction with the environment, corrosion poses a serious threat to new and existing infrastructure. Understanding such phenomena is detrimental when considering long term prediction of structural service life.
- Structural Reliability and Assessment of Structures
Detecting the role of existent uncertainties in structural projects in terms of risk and structural failure has been proven to be a major step in modern engineering design, assisting adequate allocation of resources and decision making.
- Numerical and Computational Methods Applied to Structural Engineering
Once real life applications adopt differential equations for elements of scientific nature, engineering computational methods is a powerful tool for approximating accurate solutions for such complex engineering problems.
- Experimental Methods and Material Analysis of Structures
Understanding modern engineering experimentation including design, system calibration, data acquisition, analysis and presentation is a key skill for any academic engineer.
- Structural Stability and Evaluation of Steel Elements and Composite Systems - Theory and Design
The key to efficient structural design is the optimization of the mechanics, properties and behaviours behind the materials and shapes of structural elements. Understanding your structure in accordance with the applicable codes of practice a more reliable, efficient and durable structure can be built.

Localized corrosion can be detrimental for steel pipelines and other containment structures such as nuclear waste containers since single wall perforation may have catastrophic consequences. It follows that the quantification and development of such phenomena with time is of practical interest. However, such long term data is scarcely available and anecdotally reported in the literature, granting this publication special consideration amongst its field of research.

The building most recently known as Eaton Middle School will be under going a transformation in coming years, now that its purchase by a local non-profit was approved at the Monday, Dec. 9, meeting of the Eaton Community Schools Board of Education.
The Home Is The (H.I.T.) Foundation, the local not-for-profit organization that addresses the affordable housing needs of Preble County, came to an agreement with the Eaton School Board and purchased the vacant former Eaton High School (and later Middle School) located at 307 North Cherry Street in downtown Eaton.
The 1920s-era school building sits unused in a primarily residential area near the center of Eaton's downtown. H.I.T. has developed plans to re-purpose the building into a mixed-use facility with an expected 44 affordable and market rate units as well as commercial and office space. It is estimated to be an $8 million project to be completed by the end of 2015.
The ECS BOE accepted the sale price of $140,000 and approved the selling of the property in a unanimous vote during the Dec. 9 meeting. The sale is expected to close in January.
"In 2012, we co-led a process to develop a consolidated plan that identified Preble County's unmet affordable housing needs," said Bill Hutton, executive director of the H.I.T. Foundation. "As an organization, we are excited to present a strategy to address some of these unmet housing needs, as well as help preserve and bring vitality to an empty building in our city center for community use."
To support this development, H.I.T. has teamed with general contractor and developer Miller-Valentine Residential Development (MVG,) and co-developer St. Mary's Development Corporation, in addition to leadership from Preble County Mental Health and Recovery Board and the Preble County Board of Developmental Disabilities.
H.I.T. is leading the project and development team.
For more than 10 years, H.I.T. has been Preble County's trusted housing advocate in addressing all aspects of affordable housing needs, according to officials. Since 2011, H.I.T has brought more than $2.1 million in assistance to Preble County to aid residents and the community.
The H.I.T. Foundation will be holding public information sessions in the old Eaton High School auditorium Jan.15, 2014 at 3 p.m. and Jan. 30, 2014 at 6 p.m. to share their vision for the project with residents as well as seek community feedback and input on the use of the cafeteria and auditorium. To learn more about the H.I.T. Foundation and this development, visit HITFoundation.org.

Part of the Mini Family!
Found a 64GB Black iPad mini on Craigslist! Was nervous because the guy's phone number wouldn't work when i tried to call him, but it would let me text him fine. Ended up being forwarded to some pinger service. Then I had to drive 60 miles one way (simi valley) to pick it up at a dead area which really got my heart beating. Was thinking with the horrible spelling in text messages, texting in slang to me, no phone number that it might be a scam but the price wasn't that much of a too good to be true (400 bucks) and he said it came with the box, cords and a 30 dollar zagg screen protector. I know I shouldn't stereo type but I thought this was going to be a homie, especially with some Spanish name and last name on his gmail. Ended up it was an old Philipeno guy in a XD vehicle from those hamster commercials with a Spanish name. Anyway, glad I got this mini, it's black, 64GB and I can't believe how light it is. Other then it being in practically new condition there is this minor mark but I think maybe it is some type of dust under the zagg screen protector.
But yea it looks like iPad minis are starting to appear on Craigslist now at reasonable prices, just a FYI to those who want one at a decent deal. Just after hearing some Craigslist stories kinda makes u wonder who you're going to end up dealing with. I'm a big guy and can usually handle my own, but even this buy gave me a strange feeling in my stomach.
What do you guys think? A scuff maybe? Looks like a bunch of dust underneath but that's me.

As a tech junkie I knew what to look for to make sure it wasn't defective. Front and rear camera, made sure the compass worked, accelerometer worked, no pixelation, no bleeding, just noticed that dust bug looking deal under the screen protector, both speakers. Checked settings and it said 57.6 GB were avail but that's due to iOS. No scuffs or scratches on the back or sides. I wouldn't consider 400 dollars for a mini too good to be true, still quite a bit of dough to spend, especially since I originally was looking for a 16 GB Mini for around 250 to 275 on CL.
Sorry about the image, wanted to zoom it in to get a decent shot from my galaxy s3's camera phone.

Since you said it has a Zagg on it, it's safe to assume the screen is fine. Pull that thing off and use it without a screen protector. I'd used all of my iPads without a protector and I've never had the screen get scratched.

I agree.. Pull off the screen protector.. See how it looks. I don't use them on mine anymore either.
|Jan 1, 2013, 06:24 PM
2013 racism still alive
But I'll help you out , here's what you can do
Remove the zagg
Put it on a piece of paper
Check the ipad screen to make sure is ok
If is ok go to the zagg website /warranty section fill out the info for a front mini screen shield , select HD
When you get the new zagg in the mail ,send the old one back to them in an envelope
Go to bestbuy mobile section they will install it for you , I think it's $10 don't remember
So for like $15 you will know if the screen is scratched or just the zagg

If I paid $400 for a 64gb..I'd rip that crap Zagg off to see if its actually the screen. What are you waiting for?
You did get a great deal so you can always just go to best buy and grab another screen protector.
|Jan 1, 2013, 09:44 PM
Ended up being a scuff on the screen protector, the screen was fine though. Took it to have a guy look at it at my local store. I know I don't need a screen protector on it since my iPad 2 has been fine without one for the longest time but this iPad mini is making me feel like Gollum from those Lord of the Ring movies when he has the ring in his hand and is very careful calling it my precioussss...
At least I know now, thanks for the advice. Guess I was worried that it was the screen so I didn't wanna have it checked out because then it would have made sense on why I got a decent deal.

I'll never understand why people use zagg products.
I would never use anything on my electronics that you have to apply with water...

An Empirical Model of Search with Vertically Differentiated Products
2011, Rand (Bell) Journal of Economics
Matthijs R. Wildenbeest
This paper presents a nonsequential search model that allows for vertical product differentiation. In the unique symmetric equilibrium firms with different characteristics draw utilities from a common utility distribution. Because the firms differ in their characteristics this leads to different price distributions. The model therefore provides a theoretical rationale for explaining price dispersion as a result of quality differences and search behavior of consumers together. Using the equilibrium conditions derived from the model, it is shown how to estimate search costs by maximum likelihood using only price data. A data set on prices from Dutch supermarkets reveals that the amount of search has decreased over the sampling period. Moreover, ignoring vertical product differentiation results in an overestimation of search costs.

"This was pretty good!"
"Nice flavor but on the dry side. I added peas and put breadcrumbs over the top with cooking spray. I would make this agaim but add a cup of milk to make this a bit creamier."
"This was very good, although I did add frozen mixed veggies, and 1/2 tsp garlic powder."
"I just made this and skipped the belle peppers since I'm not a fan. Also used only sharp cheddar and macaroni noodles cause that's all I had on hand. Amazing. I think I will make it the same way every time now but puree the onions since my hubby and teen son don't enjoy crunching on anything. "
"Loved this recipe! I added mushrooms, carrots and peas to it and it was great. I'll definitely be making this again."

Countryside Council for Wales
About CCW
Please note - A new body, Natural Resources Wales has taken over all functions and services previously carried out by Countryside Council for Wales. While the Natural Resources Wales website continues to be developed, some online services will continue to be provided on this web site.
CCW is a Welsh Government Sponsored Body and,
though the publication of our Annual Report, and an Annual
Operational Plan looking at the current financial year, CCW reports
progress made and sets how we propose to allocate the resources
available to us.
Our budget for 2010 /2011 is £43million, coming almost entirely
from the Welsh Government. Of this, £4.5m is ring fenced for the
Assembly's Coastal Access and Rights of Way Improvement programmes
and for the Green Flag Awards and support of the Joint Nature
Conservation Committee. We expect to give out a further £5million
in grants to partners who deliver work that support our corporate
At April 1st 2010, we employed the full time equivalent of 488
members of staff, which accounts for around £19m.
Our work is split over three major programmes of work:
Every year, we produce an Annual Report to highlight our
achievements for that year as well as providing a copy of our
audited accounts. For the year ending 31 March 2010, we received
£42,675,000 from the Welsh Government to continue our work. Our net
expenditure at the end of the year was £42,363,000. More detailed
information is available in our Annual Report.
We expect our funding from the Assembly to reduce by around 25%
over the next four years. So CCW, like many other public sector
organisations, will need to be innovative and efficient to absorb
these reductions and still deliver as best we can. We will continue
our efforts to increase productivity and to cut costs wherever
possible and we are participating in a shared services review with
the Environment Agency Wales and Forestry Commission Wales.

As one of Germany's top bicycle brands, Focus has built a strong reputation for designing high performance bicycles for many areas of cycling. Whether it is Road, Cyclocross, Cross Country, or All Mountain, Focus is a leader in innovation and design. Focus focuses on creating and developing outstanding bicycles with an incredible price-to-performance ratio.
The Raven line is a hardtail Cross Country line with an aim at performance. This lightweight line takes advantage of carbon fiber frames to yield high performance. These carbon fiber frames are designed and crafted to exact specifications to ensure quality throughout. The frames also take advantage of the BB30 over sized bottom bracket. In doing so the Raven line is able to increase stiffness and strength in that key area. Furthermore carbon fiber drop outs reduce weight while increasing the load bearing capacity. Carbon fiber drop outs also create a solid and stiff place for the rear wheel to live. The Raven carbon fiber frame is super light and strong.
Focus has set the Raven out on the right path with this high performance frame it only seems fitting that Focus would outfit it Shimano and Rock Shox components. This Race ready group is super light weight and performance driven, just like the Raven frame. Together they produce an awesome ride experience. Having reliability on Race day is a huge issue. Knowing you can count on your bike to do the job you need is critical. Shimano SLX 10 Speed shifters set the pace of smooth and reliable shifting while the Shimano SLX front and rear derailleurs add to the performance and reliability. The light weight and stiff FSA Comet Focus cranks are power houses when it comes to performance and design. The entire Shimano SLX group was designed to provide you with the best experience possible. The Raven and this Shimano SLX group complement each other in ways you can only understand by hoping on and riding for yourself.
The Raven line may be a hardtail line but suspension is still a must. Keeping up with the quality standards that the Raven has set, Focus set their aim on a suspension fork that would complement the rest of the build. A Rock Shox Reba RL was chosen. Rock Shox is an industry leader in shocks and suspension. Continuously setting new standards and introducing new technologies, Rock Shox was an instant choice for the Raven 5.0.
Feature rich and race ready are just a few words I can use to describe the Raven. If you're looking for high performance and excellent quality then you have come to the right place. Focus has teamed up with industry leaders to bring you race ready and race proven performance.

Comments about Focus Raven 5.0 29" Bike 2013:
I love when people rate this bike with 1 or 2 stars, but don't write down cons, or why they don't like it. One reviwer did say poor assembly, what does that have to do with the bike quality ???
First thing when it comes to these bikes you have to check them before every ride, and tune it to your riding style, this means if you are going to do crazy riding you should learn how to be your own mechanic, understand parts, and how they work.
I bought this bike and love it, crashed few times ok more like 10, and I don't have one scratch on the frame yet, handle bars got little scratched, same thing with brake handles, but everything else is mint, derailler etc.
If this bike comes with cheap plastic pedals, buy flat pedals like shimano flat saint pedals, they are really good. Cheap plastic pedals will crack when you jump the bike.
Another thing, get protective gear pro or amateur, because everyone crashes. Yes it costs money but don't cheap out, get shin pads, elbow pads, full face helmet etc...
Better to damage protective gear than get hurt yourself...

I really love this bike! It is a great value for a carbon fiber hardtail. It weights fairly light, but personally I would save up some money for some upgrades. It rolls uphill with ease and very nimble going downhill. I love it!!

What Is Linux?
Posted by Pavel | Posted in General Information | Posted on 29-02-2012-05-2008
The name "Linux" is used to refer to three similar yet slightly different things, which can be confusing to all but the hardcore geek. The three usages vary by how much of a complete software system the speaker is talking about.
At the lowest level, every Linux system is based on the Linux kernel, the very low-level software that manages your computer hardware, multi-tasks the many programs that are running at any given time, and other such essential things. These low-level functions are used by other programs, so their authors can focus on the specific functionality they want to provide. Without the kernel, your computer is a very expensive doorstop. It has all of the features of a modern operating system: true multitasking, threads, virtual memory, shared libraries, demand loading, shared, copy-on-write executables, proper memory management, loadable device driver modules, video frame buffering, and TCP/IP networking.
Most often, the name "Linux" is used to refer to the Linux Operating System. An OS includes the kernel, but also adds various utilities, the kinds of programs you need to get anything done. For example, it includes a shell (the program that provides a command prompt and lets you run programs), a program to copy files, a program to delete files, and many other odds and ends. Some people honor the request of Richard Stallman and the GNU Project, and call the Linux OS GNU/Linux, because a good number of these utility programs were written by the GNU folks.
Finally, software companies (and sometimes volunteer groups) add on lots of extra software, like the XFree86 X Window System, Gnome, KDE, games and many other applications. These software compilations which are based on the Linux OS are called Linux distributions.
So, there are three Linuxes: the Linux kernel, the Linux OS, and the various Linux distributions. Most people, however, refer to the operating system kernel, system software, and application software, collectively, as "Linux", and that convention is used in this FAQ as well.
See also the Wikipedia articles on the Linux kernel and the Linux operating system.

Dyfi 2013 - Cramp or Glory
- Posted by ruben
- 9 May 2013
On Sunday, we made our annual pilgrimage to Machynlleth for the 12th annual Dyfi Enduro. A mountain bike event like no other. The course is tough, but rewards hard work with some of the best (if occasionally terrifying) descents and singletrack sections around.
For Ade and I it's become a bit of a yearly battle for the title of "fastest howies rider." In 2011 I beat him for the first time but the result was questionable as he'd dragged himself round suffering from some kind of manflu. I was left hungry for a more honest win. In 2012 we battled it out within sight of each other the whole way around but I wasn't able to close the gap and finished 10 minutes slower.
This year, with us both feeling equally unprepared, we rolled out from the start line through town and into the hills. With 800 riders jostling for position, I soon lost track of where Ade was in the pack, but knew he was ahead. I kept my head down and pushed on at a steady pace.
The miles passed. The uphill ones slowly, the downhill ones fast. I was losing hope of catching up until 2/3rds in, I rounded a bend and reached the feed station. Ade was there. My spirits lifted out of my tired feet. Maybe it's possible after all! I hurried to fill my bottle and grab a banana before heading off. Just ahead.
Now the mood of ride changed. For one thing, I had Somewhere Over The Rainbow stuck in my head after Ade had let me know it had been on his iPod. I pushed a little harder up the hill, trying to get a feel for how his legs were holding up. The gap opened a little but now cramp began to rise it's ugly head, snapping at our legs each time we slipped a wheel or dabbed a foot down. .
On the climb before last, I looked back and couldn't see Ade. I thought this was it. Turning into the last descent I was faced with a mire of rutted muddy tracks, I lost my wheels more than once and had to fight building cramps to keep things going in the right direction.
Dropping out of the descent onto the last bit of fire track, my chain came off. As I was trying to get it back on, I was passed by Ade. Laughing. I jumped back on the bike as quick as I could but with only 800 meters to go I knew there was little chance of closing the gap again. I finished 30 seconds after Ade. The closest honest gap yet.
Elsewhere in team howies, Chris had a great first time at Dyfi - finishing 7th of the short course riders and 4th in his category while Hazel rode an anonymous ride after forgetting to attach her race number before setting off.
At the end of the day, we all got what we really came for. The event mug to add to the collection. Post race brews never taste better than in those Dyfi mugs.
And what do I have to say about Ade's mirth while passing me with my chain woes?
Not much. I'll just let this video do the talking.
And here's a lovely little edit of the weekend from Will Sanders.
2013 Howies Dyfi Enduro on Pinkbike
A big thanks to Jon Brooke from rightplacerighttime for the photos of the weekend.
If you rode the Enduro, he's probably got some snaps of you too on his website.

These crampons are sweet! They are made in the US so they are a great quality product. They fit snug on my boot. My hubby has size 12 boots & he had room to spare on his. We are ready for the next polar vortex!I'd ad a photo but I don't see a place to do that.
These crampons are a really good choice for basic snow travel on moderate slopes; I've front-pointed with them a bit when necessary, but that is definitely a desperate situation. They fit easily and are a cinch to adjust, they're extremely durable -- really just a workhorse of a crampon.
I've had these a few years now. They are great. Fairly light weight, easy to adjust, durable, and do a good job keeping me in place on glaciers. The same pair fits me (women's size 8.5) and my friend (men's size 12). They also fit well on my medium weight hiking boots as well as mountaineering boots.
I've used these crampons on several winter summits in the White Mountains in NH (Kinsmans, Lafayette, Twins, Bonds) and they have not let me down. They secure very tightly to hiking boots as well as mountaineering boots. They easily adjust to accommodate both styles of boot. They've been helpful both above and below tree line on ice and snow.
I bought these over the summer on sale and finally got to use them over the weekend. This was the first time I ever used crampons. I was a little apprehensive about putting them on, but I got them on and adjusted before my fingers got too cold. They were extremely stable over ice and snow, and held up well over bare rock. I ran into a dude who was saying he was using his for the second time and that he even though he didn't use them too often, you just feel like a bad a$$ whenever you see them with your gear. Agreed.
Though I only recently purchased a pair, the Pacific NW's record snowpack has given me plenty of opportunity to test them. I prefer low and light hiking shoes to boots, and to my delight, the Contacts were flexible enough that I didn't have any problems wearing them over my shoes. Despite many opportunities to come off on 60° ice or 40° snow inclines, they stayed put. Also, I traversed a lot of mixed ice and rock terrain, but instead of removing and replacing my crampons ad nauseam, I scrambled over the rocks with the crampons on. Such idiocy should be expected to spell the end of any aluminum - or perhaps lesser steel - crampons, but my Contacts appear to have suffered no permanent damage.
These crampons are worth the money if you are in need of a pair. They are well made, provide great stability on glaciers, and are easy to use. Self explanatory once you get them out of the box. You won't find a better pair for the money.
I haven't used these a lot, but the hiking I've done in them has been great...have fit a couple of different sized boots and I've never lost traction while I was using them. Sharp enough to jam a hole in your boot if you aren't careful, but not so aggressive that they're horribly uncomfortable. Be careful if you wear boots larger than size 11 1/2...you might need the longer bar, I'm on the last hole on the ones that came with these crampons!

MISENHEIMER, NC - Pfeiffer University will welcome their Conference Carolinas neighbors to the south this weekend as the Falcons host Belmont Abbey College for two days of collegiate athletic action. The weekend is also slated as Pfeiffer's Homecoming Weekend which will be highlighted by the 2013 Pfeiffer Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony on Friday night.
Also on Friday night, the Pfeiffer University women's volleyball team (2-9, 1-1 Conference Carolinas) will host Belmont Abbey (7-3, 1-1) Merner Gym at 7 p.m. The contest will be the first meeting of the season for the conference foes. The match will also be the first home contest for the Lady Falcons of the 2013 season. Pfeiffer is coming off 12 straight road games to start the season and Belmont Abbey will be coming off a six day break.
Soccer is the sport of the day for Saturday with two contests highlighting the action at N.E. Lefko Field. The first contest of the day will see the Pfeiffer University women's soccer team (3-3, 1-0) take on Belmont Abbey (5-1, 1-0) with kickoff slated for 2 p.m. The Lady Falcons enter the weekend on a three game win streak and take on a Belmont Abbey team currently sitting atop the Conference Carolinas leaderboard.
