29 year old woman | London, ON, CAN | Seeking men 26-35 within 25 miles
Hey! Just joining to see if this website is worth sticking around on. Looking forward to meeting some great people!
I'm a fun and loving girl, with a great head on my sholders, and on an exciting career path. Looking to meet some new people as I just recently moved back to London. Things I value most in life are honesty and kindness - and I expect my partner to treat me no different than they would a good friend. I treat the people in my life that I care about with sensitivity and attention. I am the kind of girl that will surprise you with your "favourite thing" when you are down, just to see you smile. If you are having a bad day, I tend to be the right person to bring you out of it - but I expect that I should not always be the one to have to. I love making special plans to look forward, but also enjoy someone who can be spontaneous. So much of life has to be planned - but not everything should be. I admire those who are driven, but towards a goal that doesn't necessarily serve themselves. My motto is: You make a living my what you get, but you make a life by what you give. I am personally involved in my community and it is the highlight of my week. To me it is important to reflect inward, but to live outside yourself. I am most grateful for my loving friends and family, and they always make me smile. I love a good glass of wine, great conversation, and lots of laughs. Finally - I love to go out and have fun. Whether that be a random trip to Vegas, a sporting event, or a night out dancing, I appreciate someone who knows how to let their hair down and have some fun. Good luck to everyone out there searching for that someone special.

When my grandmother passed away I offered to take care of her cat... Even though I have never really been a fan of them. But apparently he is now my little man and I wouldn't trade him for anything. I am looking forward to getting a dog.
I am pretty much happy anywhere - good company is more important than the location. As far as vacations, I love las Vegas, Toronto for the night, Lisbon Portugal, Rio, Chicago... Love to travel and love planning trips away.

Drinks, dancing, doing anything new. I enjoy doing hot yoga and cooking great meals. I might even say I like to do puzzles and games.. but that is the secret quiet geek inside me talking.
I can rarely get into fiction, but give me something non-fiction on the economy and development and I am in! The last book I read and loved was Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts.....

As we move on up the ladder of layer concepts, we find ourselves on the rung known as Preserve Transparency. Now Preserve Transparency is kind of a geeky sounding word but it's actually a very useful tool and one way I often describe it as is a poor man's mask. It's a really cool way to do some masking work without even having to think in terms of mask because that's yet another rung on the layers ladder that sometimes gets a little challenging for folks. So I'm going to show you, what I called poor man's masking here.
I am going to start and create a new layer and I'm just going to draw just a simple shape here, just kind of a star element with the brush. So the idea here is just to get something on this layer, okay. I have done that and you will notice over in the Layers palette, just above Pick Up Underlying Color, there is another possible checkbox, which is Preserve Transparency. I am going to go ahead and enable that now and we are going to get a very different tool. So let's go and we are going to grab the Sponge here, down at the bottom. Let's just switch this background.
I am going to go and just get a very different color and now remember Preserve Transparency is on. What that means is and again, not to get too geeky on you, but when you paint on a layer, unbeknownst to you, you are actually creating a mask. It's just an invisible mask that you are not really thinking about and you don't have to think about. But because it's there, that information can be used to do this Preserve Transparency trick. Wherever I haven't painted, that's transparency and by enabling this, I'm locking that area of the image off so that it can't be altered.
So what that means is I can go in here with my little Sponge tool and I can now use the transparency or the non- transparency in this case, the places that I have painted, in order to create a mask. So if you know this in advance, you can start to do some amazing tricks with Preserve Transparency to treat something as a mask. For example, now that this is on, I could go in and grab an Airbrush and just kind of doing some shading work here. Maybe I'll make this a little smaller.
You know, I can start to give this the illusion that it's somewhat of a three-dimensional element. You know it's not, but just by kind of using the fact that I have a mask, I can start to create a pretty cool illusion here that makes this scene a bit like it's a pillowed or rounded three-dimensional shape. So Preserve Transparency is totally a feature that probably sits there for lot of people that have no idea what it means and it's very valuable. So take advantage of Preserve Transparency.
It enables you to modify various painted areas on your layer without disturbing the non-painted areas and that just opens up an entire world of expressive possibilities. So, take advantage of this rung on the layers ladder.

white sugar

1 teaspoon
orange juice
1 teaspoon
vanilla extract
Happy Chanukah in October? I made these because they sounded delicious and indeed they are! I didn't have orange juice, but did have orange extract. It gave them a nice subtle orange flavor, and the house smells wonderful. I have no sense of depth, so some of mine are rolled too thick, and some too thin. The too thin are actually perfect. They're very crisp, got nicely brown around the edges, and held their shape very well. I was concerned with no chill time for this dough that they'd expand, but most of mine were fine. The ones that were too thick did spread a bit but that was my fault. The dough was easy to work with, too. I lightly floured my rolling surface, and they were easy to peel off and bake. I was pleasantly surprised with this recipe since cutout cookies are usually a real pain to me. But I'll make these again for sure.
There could be a bit more flavor. I brushed the tops with egg whites and sprinkled with sugar before I baked them and that helped.

As this was posted when the holiday was almost over I am certainly baked out but I have saved it for next year. The ingrediants appear to be very child friendly in terms of a sturdy dough and the orange juice will give a bright flavor. This would be a good child friendly base for hamentaschen also.
Made these for friends this year and they
were great. Will use for Christmas cookies as well. Great flavor and wonderfully crisp. thanks.
This is the exact recipe I grew up with. The recipe was on the lid of the box of my mom's Chanukah cookie cutters. They are good cookies if you like crispy cookies to dunk in your tea. My mom always sprinkled the cookies with blue colored sugar before baking. I find this dough a pain to work with. It is too sticky and then if you add more flour it ruins the taste.
Loved these cookies! They were such a hit the first time that we made 2 batches! The orange juice is a great touch. They are almost like the orange juice cookies in Modern Jewish Cooking - but better.
These cookies were moist and very good. I added homemade icing just for x-mas flare, and that was literally just "icing on the cake" . WIth or without, these cookies are great!!!!
Thank you for this recipe. I made these cookies twice as sugar cookies adding a frosting that I made on my own. The last time for Thanks Giving. I shaped them into menorahs, hearts, mooses, and people using cookie cutters that I have had for a while and finally decided to use them. I will be making more cookies without frosting as butter cookies tonight for my Hanukkah party that will be tomorrow. I will shape them as driedels and menorahs. I love these cookies. I put the dough in the freezer for about Happy Hanukkah, eighth night. :)

Kansas City Mayor: Jobs Are at the Forefront of People's Minds
Kansas City Mayor Sly James can tell his city is in trouble by looking up at the sky. "There are no more cranes. When there are no more cranes in the city, that's not a good sign. Because that means not much is getting done. The ripple effect of not being able to build has a huge impact on all sorts of other subsidiary industries. We have roads that are in need of repair and rebuilding, we have bridges that need work, we have water systems that are in desperate need of reworking. And we need the assistance of the Federal government in order to get those big-ticket items done."
The American Job Act will help James answer the one question he says the residents of his Missouri city ask any time he leaves the office, "'Mayor, where can I get a job? Mayor can you help me get a job? Mayor can you help my brother or my mother get a job?"'Jobs are at the forefront of people's minds."

In XHTML and HTML Essential Training, Bill Weinman helps designers and coders understand XHTML and HTML. In the process, Bill covers document structure, block and inline-level tags, floating images, controlling white space, phrase and font markup, and tables and frames. He even provides a good introduction to CSS. Bill offers step-by-step guidance for building a complete working web site. Exercise files accompany the course.
As we begin to talk about how XHTML deals with text, let's start with white space. White space is any kind of space, the space character, the tab character. It's a line feed. Any kind of white space, XHTML has a special way of dealing with it. So here we have a document and it has our front matter at the top. It has head section and a body section and it has a couple of paragraphs and these are paragraph tags. See the p at the beginning and the end tag at the end.
Everything inside of the paragraph element is a paragraph. So this text here is in a paragraph by itself and you see in the browser down here, we have our text editor at the top and our browser at the bottom so we can see what we are doing. The browser down there, that's in a paragraph by itself and this other line of text is in a paragraph by itself down here in the browser as well. So notice that the paragraph has words and it has spaces. Now if I go ahead and change this and just add a bunch of spaces and save the document and then go down here and reload in the browser, you will notice that the line of text does not change. All of these extra spaces are all folded into one space in the document in the browser.
So this is what XHTML does with space, and HTML works exactly the same way. All of these spaces are folded into one space in the browser. Now if instead of inserting a bunch of spaces, what if I insert a bunch of new lines and then save it? So I save the document and I reload in the browser and you will notice that the line of text is exactly the same. All of these new line characters are also folded into one space in the browser.
So this is how XHTML deals with white space. In fact, it doesn't matter what kind of white space it is or what kind of combination of white space it is. I could have a number of spaces up here. I could have a number of new lines down here. I could have more spaces over here and I could even break up another part of the line and all of this-- and I save the document and I load it up in the browser and it's still just the one line of text.
So this is how HTML and XHTML deal with white space. All white space is in a row. It's adjacent to each other. It is between pieces of text. All white spaces folded into one space character in the browser when it renders the line of text.

Floss Fun
I've been collecting Cosmo floss for my Dessert of the Month patterns in a couple baggies. But found myself frustrated with the lack of organization, so I treated myself to a JoAnn trip!
I used some TV time to wind the floss on the bobbins and put them in number order.
That feels better!
With football on all day yesterday (here), I finally got started on catching up!
For me, getting started is the biggest battle! I always count two and three times to be sure that I've started in the right spot, now I'm just anxious to finish this one! They are so cute and fun to work, I'm loving the relaxing aspect of it too.
Are you starting anything this week?
To Go Projects
Are a must right now!
I often drop the girls & Owen off at school on bikes, as long as we are organized enough to get out the door on time! And Ella will ride her bike, an hour earlier most days as well.
If we have a rough morning, or the immanent threat of rain, I will have a total of five trips to two different schools. And waiting to pick them up I'll stitch a hexie or two! They also come in handy, at the soccer field or while "watching" football.
I've basted plenty of hexies, but this is the first shape I've basted together! I have a plan for a little mini, that I'm officially working toward now. Previously, I was just basting them, with no project in mind. I'll share more soon :)
Do you have a to go project?
Hope you are well –
At Last!
A complete quilt top! I feel like this has been forever in the making, but it's done :)
I had hoped to baste and begin quilting over the weekend, but it didn't happen. That's okay with me – we had a great family weekend! So on my list this week will be sewing up the backing I pulled out, and getting started on the quilting.
What are you up to this week?
Happy Quilting ~
Catching Up
With the kids all in school for 2.5 hours (Owen is done by 11:15 am) I've been working into my own routine. Mainly including a bike ride after taking them on their bikes to school. It's so nice to plug in my headphones and push myself to keep going up, I have a nine mile route that has a good climb in a couple spots – a great challenge! The picture above is our valley, and the view while out on my bike.
Owen had a little homework – drawing his family so his class can get to know him better. I LOVE these first drawings!
I spent all of Sunday canning pears – my feet were aching, but I'm happy to have it done!
I've been using Frippery to make a sample for my … Read More »
I'm so excited for Bloggers' Quilt Festival to start this Friday! All the details are coming together, and I just need to write the post! In light of all those details, and the busy birthday/mother's day weekend, I have a few moments to share in pictures.
Our birthday girl, had a fabulous weekend, complete with an Avenger's date with daddy, pizza and movie night with friends, and a Kindle from the grandparents! Her cake really was the icing on top!
We attempted to make a kindle cover, but I failed to enough to add enough seam allowance.
Yesterday I managed to match up the last couple of pieces to my blocks, now I just need an hour or so to sit and sew. Maybe today?
I'll let you know…happy quilting!
Checking In
So, it's Wednesday already – how are you doing on your goals?
I love reading through all your plans! Some of you make me roll my eyes when I read all that you "hope" to accomplish – do you sleep!? I'm sure you say the same thing about me at times!
I've made a bit of progress on my pile of pressing, I started with the larger pieces, and will tackle the teeny ones soon.
I've also been working on another Craftsy workshop. I'll share the whole quilt soon, but here's a quick peek:
I hope you are feeling motivated!
Thanks for stopping by ~ Amy
Linen Quilt Top
My weekend was productive, and I haven't had a chance to touch my sewing machine since!
I'm hoping that I can baste this today – cross your fingers for me.
I'm excited to finish!
Happy Quilting ~ Amy
Linens can be purchased here.
This Week
…is a week of finishes for me!
I've got a new pattern in the works, and hope to share it with you soon!
I also have to meet an editing deadline, so my posts will be a little sparse.
Are you planning any finishes for this week?
I already made my list!
Fabrics: Blend – Spring Promise by Ana Davis
Catching Up
My days this week have been scattered! With soccer filling up a few nights, and beautiful weather pulling us outdoors – I've had a hard time getting to the computer to tell you about it all!
Yesterday I gave Owen his summer haircut – he wasn't excited about it, but it HAD to be done! And looks so handsome on him.
I spent a bit of time sewing up some triangles, trimmed from a different project too. In the end I wasn't as excited about it as a table runner as I wanted to be, and moved on before I finished it. I think I need to play with the setting before I sew the blocks together. It will be cute!
I've also made about 350 flying geese this week! I … Read More »

Happy Quilting~ Amy
Works In Progress
I have three projects in progress at the moment, and I'm sorting out many of the details for Bloggers' Quilt Festival. It's going to be fun, I hope you are planning to join in with a quilt of your own!
This is piles of squares, I cut from the fabrics selected over the weekend. I pulled over 60 fabrics!
Today I'm hoping to tackle this list, I'll have to uncover my cutting mat first though.
I'm waiting for fabric to finish this quilt, and I'm testing a pattern for a friend too.
Everything is stacked up on my mat, waiting to be finished!
What are you working on?
Fabrics – Check!
I'm still hoping to cut the interfacings today, but happy with this progress right now!
Have a great night!

Kobe on how the Lakers, Heat losing streaks are different
Mar 10, 2011, 11:53 AM EDT
Don't know if you heard, but the Heat have lost five in a row. I think that made the news somewhere.
Just like it did earlier this season when the Lakers lost four in a row. Or three in a row two other times.
Now the Lakers have won 8 in a row heading into Miami. Kobe Bryant said there is a fundamental difference between the Lakers struggles and Heat struggles, as reported by Kevin Ding at the Orange County Register.
"The difference between us is that we all know what our roles are," Bryant said. "Everything is cemented. They're still trying to figure that out."
He's right. You can question the Lakers execution, their commitment to the regular season, their passion. But even with a few new players the roles on that team are defined. The Lakers have always known who they are.
Miami is clearly still trying to figure out how who they are, especially in crunch time. They are trying to figure out how to get the best looks (although even when they get good looks they just seem to miss). Bosh wants the ball in a different spot on the floor; coach Erik Spoelstra is trying to find ways to get more motion in the half-court offense and more points in the paint. Their issues are more about their identity.
And the point in the season when you are supposed to be ramping up for the playoffs is a bad time to be having team identity issues.
That by no means makes the Lakers prohibitive favorites Thursday — the Heat are a desperate team, and there is nothing more dangerous is pro sports than a team desperate for a win.
- denverhoopdreams - Mar 10, 2011 at 12:34 PM
No matter how much I dislike the Lakers and thier winning ways… they know whats up. Kobe said it best… no need to say more.
- loungefly74 - Mar 10, 2011 at 12:48 PM
kobe should have added, "well, to be honest, before the all-star break…we really don't care about any losing streak." of course, i kid, but the point is the Laker's streak happened when there was A LOT of basketball to be played. now, we are heading to crunch time soon.
- denverhoopdreams - Mar 10, 2011 at 1:44 PM
Okay, your punctuation confused me a little there. Are you saying the Lakers didn't care about losing earlier in the year, and now that its crunch time they care?
Because thats right… but you just didn't make sense.
- loungefly74 - Mar 10, 2011 at 2:19 PM
basically, i was making a joke stating kobe should have added something about how they don't care what happens before the all-star break judging by their attitude, etc… With the playoffs on the horizon, they, the Lakers and the Heat and really every team, should care a lot more about how they play.
- passerby23 - Mar 10, 2011 at 1:24 PM
At some point, how long do you give the Heat to "figure things out"? They only have 18 games left in the regular season. Perhaps it's not figuring things out that is the problem, but that their holes have been exploited. They can't get the ball inside at the end of games, their PG play is erratic and exploitable, they get no bench support, and there may never be a clear go-to guy at the end of games. Difficult to see how you "figure that out."
Perhaps it's also true that other teams are just better than them. They're obviously good enough to win some games, but against the elite teams, the sum of their parts is not as good.
- mickdamill - Mar 10, 2011 at 1:56 PM
I think the difference was laregely due to coaching.
- ohkhan - Mar 10, 2011 at 3:52 PM
"the Heat are a desperate team, and there is nothing more dangerous is pro sports than a team desperate for a win."
aren't the cavs desperate for a win like every night. i feel like the lakers are more dangerous than the cavs

This is something that used to be mentioned by camera magazines back in the 1970s. I don't know that there is any fix, because on one hand, you one "one-touch" zooms (lenses that allow zooming and focusing with one ring) to be loose enough that you can zoom easily and quickly. On the other hand, if your camera isn't level, you don't want the focal length to change.
I have a two Vivitar Series 1 zooms. One creeps. The other doesn't. I also have a Pentax "M" zoom, which focuses very smoothly but requires way too much effort to push and pull to change focal length.
Frankly, I don't know the answer, because anything that you would use to prevent creep will also get in the way when you try to zoom.
Perhaps, that are some grub screws in the barrel that can be tightened or loosened. I've never really investigated this. You probably would have to adjust these screws very carefully.

2002 Acura MDX Q&A
2002 Acura MDX Question: Torque Converter
I was told by the Acura dealership my Torque converter went out. They told me that it will only impact my gas mileage, is that true? Acuras estimate was $2700 do you know where I could get it done for less. - MDX2002
Answer 1
It may effect more than your mileage. What was it that prompted the dealer to say that your Torque Converter went out? Was it a Check Engine Light for a slipping torque Converter Clutch or did the Converter fail in another way? If the Converter Clutch is slipping, it may be able to go for while. If the impeller and or turbine of the Converter is failing, this can send tiny metal particles all through your transmission which will eventually damage it. If the Torque Converter was making noise at 45 mph that is when the converter clutch is kicking in. This, frankly, does not sound good. It means that metal parts are clashing which can mean the particles that I spoke of could be getting in to the rest of your transmission. I would go to an ATRA ( Automatic Transmission Rebuilders Association of America ) registered shop in your area. These tend to be the best shops for transmission work. I would stay away from any franchises, they tend to be VERY inconsistent. It is a very high level skill to properly do Automatic trans work. That is why the dealerships don't do it any more, they just replace them. I spent several years as a dealership trans rebuilder so I have an appreciation for this work. I think that you could get a better price for this job at an ATRA shop. Be sure to have them flush out your system to remove any particles from your fluid, transmission and cooler(s). - dandd
Answer 2
I agree with Dan. The Acura MDX has a higher than acceptable ate of transmission failure. The Check Engine Light is frequently illuminated with a code signifying torque converter/transmission related problems. - patrick mannion
Answer 3
Just picked up my 2005 MDX from dealer after replacing the torque converter. It appears that the vibration/grinding between 35-40 mph has now been eliminated. For background, I reported this problem in March 2009, a couple of months prior to the expiration of my warranty. The service tech stated that he/she could not reproduce the noise I was hearing. Over a year later, the noise was now continuous. I took the vehicle in and this time the service tech could hear the noise. I was told that the vehicle was out of warranty (45,000 miles, but over 60 months) and that it would cost $2,000 to $3,000 to fix the problem. I opened up a case file with Honda America. After several calls, I was offered a repair for $500. I continued to complain and mentioned that I had uncovered over 100 complaints for the exact same issue. The Honda rep. still would not budge on the $500 cost to me. Finally, I mentioned that I might pursue a "class action suit". He said he would speak to the district supervisor. Miraculously, he came back and said that Honda America could cover 100% of the repair. I would suggest that anyone battling this issue out with Honda America mention "class action suit". There attitude seems to change quite significantly! Good luck! - kpsmith999
Answer 4
I had my torque converter replaced by Acura just over 50,000 miles. I had reported it NUMEROUS times to the dealership and they could never duplicate. That goodness I made them document it so when it was over the 50,000 miles and out of warranty they replaced it under warranty. I am now closing in on 100,000 miles and it is acting up again. It is in the shop as we speak so we will see what they say about replacing it again. - Visitor
Answer 5
I have a 2003 mdx with 113,400 miles on it and Im getting a new factory refurbished tranny and torque converter with all the updates now cause my torque converter was going too! it ruined my tranny also so its not just causes bad gas mileage it damages ur transmission which goes on all mdx's from 2001 to 2003 their a problem and they all go bad eventually, so be prepaired to pay, mine cost me 2,800 installed at a local transmission place which i know the owner so i know that i could trust his judgement and i needed it once he took apart the tranny it was damaged due to the torque converter. it started making noise around 6 months ago it would rattle at around 40mph. so just a warning to you. - Visitor

Vintage: 2011
The year 2011 was an interesting year for many northern and central European countries, as the weather was more than unpredictable in the spring and summer. However, in most countries, the climatic conditions thankfully settled down in the late summer and fall. The result of this slightly difficult year of weather in France was a set of surprisingly small yields, but overall, these yields were of a higher quality than those harvested in certain previous years. A fantastic set of wines was also made in Italy and Spain, and the Rioja wines - when released - are set to be very good indeed. Austria also had superb year in 2011, with almost fifty percent more grapes being grown and used for their distinctive Gruner Veltliner wines than in the year before. Possibly the European country which had the finest 2011, though, was Portugal, with wineries in the Douro region claiming this year to be one of the best in decades for the production of Port wine, and the bright, young Vinho Verdes wines. In the New World, the Pacific Northwest saw some of the best weather of 2011, and Washington State and Oregon reportedly had a highly successful year, especially for the cultivation of high quality red wine grapes. Chile and Argentina had a relatively cool year, which certainly helped retain the character of many of their key grape varietals, and should make for some exciting drinking. South Africa had especially good weather for their white wine grape varietals, particularly Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, and many South African wineries are reporting 2011 as one of their best years in recent memory.
Varietal: Pinot Noir
Pinot Noir grapes have been cultivated in and around the Burgundy region of France for centuries, where they have long been favored by vintners for their wide range of flavors, their thin skins and for producing wines which have light, smooth tannins, and a beautiful garnet red color Whilst they remain one of the flagship varietals of this special region, their wide popularity and recent status as a fashionable 'romantic' varietal has led to them being planted in almost every wine producing country in the world. However, the Pinot Noir demands a huge amount of care and attention from the wineries that wish to grow it, as this varietal is particularly susceptible to various forms of mildew and rot. Despite this, the grape is otherwise a favorite with wineries for the fact that it requires little extra effort once it begins fermentation. Pinot Noir is also widely known for producing some of the world's most famous sparkling wines, being one of two key grapes for the production of Champagne, and several other sparkling varieties.
Region: Central Otago
Central Otago, in southern New Zealand, is probably one of the most visually beautiful wine regions on earth, with its gorgeously mountainous landscape, glacial valley sides and stunning views over some of the most dramatic land formations found anywhere. It is widely renowned in the wine world as being the planet's most southerly wine region, situated at a latitude of forty five degrees south of the equator. This extreme position provides a fascinating micro climate in the region, which western settlers discovered almost a hundred and fifty years ago was ideal for viticulture. Today, the wine industry of Central Otago is booming, and the Pinot Noir grapes which thrive most successfully there are renowned for producing big, flavorful and characterful red wines which have gone on to become a flagship for Central Otago's wineries.
Country: New Zealand
New Zealand has consistently impressed over the past few decades, with many proclaiming this southern country as being the 'pearl' of the New World wine locations. One of the key attributes of New Zealand wines is their wonderful fruit-forward flavors, which make them a favorite with newcomers to wine, as they manage to be deliciously drinkable without posing many challenges. That isn't to say there is little complexity or interesting features to their wines, as one can easily discover through the fantastic range of wines available – from smoky and mineral rich Sauvignon Blancs, to juicy and plummy Pinot Noirs and the beautiful Bordeaux style wines sourced from the excellent Auckland region. New Zealand wineries clearly have a dedication to quality alongside quantity, and such zeal and expertise is quickly helping them become established as world leaders in regards to both domestic sales and exported wines.

New 3-D printing algorithms speed production, reduce wasteOctober 22, 2014 7:51 am | by Emil Venere, Purdue Univ. | News | Comments
New software algorithms have been shown to significantly reduce the time and material needed to produce objects with 3-D printers. Because the printers create objects layer-by-layer from the bottom up, this poses a challenge when printing overhanging or protruding features like a figure's outstretched arms. They must be formed using supporting structures—which are later removed—adding time and material to the process.

Robohand uses 3-D printing to replace lost digitsSeptember 11, 2013 10:50 am | by Carley Petesch, Associated Press | News | Comments
Richard Van As, a South African carpenter, lost four fingers from his right hand to a circular saw two years ago. He was unable to afford the tens of thousands of dollars to get a myoelectric hand, which detects a muscle's electric impulses to activate an artificial limb. He decided to build his own hand, made from cables, screws and thermoplastic, using only the Internet and a 3-D printer. He has since fitted 170 people with Robohands.
