The Smylosphere is all agog right now over Henri Hurskainen, the Swedish badminton player who bears a striking, perhaps even creepy, resemblance to the Sedin twins, particularly Daniel Sedin. Their shared country of origin and athletic inclinations make the resemblance even more startling. Hurskainen was even born in the same month as the Sedins, though it was admittedly 6 years later.
It got us thinking about what other things and people look like Daniel Sedin. And when we get to thinking, we get to sharing/inflicting those thoughts on you, our loyal readers. Here are 15 things/people that look like Daniel Sedin:
We had to start with the guy creating all the fuss. Unfortunately, Hurskainen has lost both his group stage matches, which means his Olympics is over.
See, Matt Murdoch is the Marvel comics superhero Daredevil from the alternate reality of 1602, which was a comic by Neil Gaiman, where Captain America travelled back in time, sparking the Marvel age of superheroes nearly 350 years before it was meant to begin and you know what, this is super-complicated, forget it.

number 16: Beaker
Nah, Beaker is Jannik Hansen.
Check out the resemblance.
Know what's really crazy? I look even more like Marian Hossa.
Left Daniel. I think. I can tell them apart in side by side photos but not in real life. I was on an elevator with a Sedin at the Scotiabank cinema a couple of years ago. I thought it was Henrik, I wanted to say hi and congratulations on the Art Ross but wasn't 100% sure. If it was a year later I could have mentioned the Art Ross for either!
Oops, embedding that photo definitely did not work, which is a shame, because it really demands some creative captioning from the creative masses here. Anyway, here's the link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/hannahwoodard/7531000300

Artists' Talk Tonight at 6pm As Part of Chico & Chang: A Look at the Impact of Latino and Asian Cultures on California's Visual Landscape
Artists' Talk: Come here artists from the group exhibition, Chico & Chang talk tonight about their participation in this exciting new exhibition at Intersection.
Wednesday July 13, 6-8pm, FREE
Gallery & Community Hours: Tuesdays-Saturdays, 12-6pm, FREE
Intersection for the Arts presents Chico & Chang, a group exhibition that looks at the impact of Latino and Asian cultures on California's visual landscape through new sculpture, video, and painting. Recently released results of the 2010 census show the continuing shift of California's ethnic composition; Latinos and Asians accounted for virtually all of California's population growth since 2000.
Immigrant communities have always impacted how places look and feel, from domestic interiors to business signage and architectural flourishes, going hand in hand with the shifting demographic of who lives and works in our state. The artists in this exhibition explore the meshing and sometimes clashing of culture from two of California's largest populations – the Asian and Latino communities – through both humor and candor. Forsaking stereotypical visual representations that tend to devolve into simplistic depictions of binaries, the show poses complex questions about the assumption and construction of identity and culture.

Happy Friday!
We know you've been waiting with bated breath to find out how Taco Time went here at (ELEVEN). Well, after not one but two days of taco lunches, we can definitely give two (30?) thumbs up to the results.
As you can see, I clearly forgot to list one key set of ingredients in Wednesday's post - Coronas with lime. But otherwise we went above and beyond the ingredient list, for a proper, full-on feast (for example, never before have I had roasted cauliflower with tacos, but I've obviously been missing out).
More than just demonstrating our collective culinary expertise, though, it was yet another lunch that proved that group cookouts are one of our favorite events at (ELEVEN). One of the best ways to take a break from the work reason we'll all here, and remind ourselves of the other - perhaps as significant - reason we come to Canal Street every day: the group.
We hope to keep up our promise of one theme-based feast per month. Green food on St. Patrick's Day, anyone?
Great reminder that, no matter how thought-out a product's creation and launch is, it might not succeed if the peccadilloes of us silly humans aren't fully taken into account too. Design for humans - and human nature - and not just reasonable, practical beings.
Once again, check out the original article - "How Do You Wean People Off Cars? By Rebranding Bikes and Buses" - for the excellent, specific example of Tata's Nano. And have a happy Friday!
According to John Thackara, we're heading toward a future in which there simply will not be enough energy resources to maintain the kind of infinite economic growth to which we have become accustomed. There being significant evidence for this point of view, why is the idea of reigning in economic growth a complete nonstarter? We just keep on believing that the inventors and scientists will discover an unlimited energy source at the last minute, just before the great energy crisis, and save us all. Why not, it happens all the time in the movies.
Anyway, Mr. Thackara's article is insightful and worth reading.

Well, you already have HBC on your Wii and I presume are somewhat attached to the look of whatever was there before. I see no reason to deprive you of them. Go ahead and restore your HBC to what it looked like earlier-not just a bubbly screen. Then, yes we can go onto to bootmii installation, NAND backup, and whatever else you want to accomplish. So, get your HBC back to your comfort level and we'll continue from there.
If you truly don't care and would just as soon delete HBC and start the softmod from scratch-that's ok too. Go to Wii Options>Data Mgt>Channels.

a vinyl cutter, there are disavantages with serigraph because if you want to have more than 2 colors you will need to make
2 screens, and is too much work if you will do only 1 decal, with vinyl cutter is the same, you need to vector the drawing and you
can use few colors, there is a better way and everyone with a color printer can do it.
Step 1: Materials
Inkjet Printer (more dpi and color quality is better)
Guillotine paper cutter or scissors or X-Acto cutter
Step 2:
now that you know the size of your El Panel, you just need to find a picture that you like and use Paint or
photoshop to edit the picture to adjust the aspec ratio, in my case my pictures must be squares.
then you print your picture, you need to print the picture at the same size as your El Panel, most printer software let you
choose the size also use the best quality settings for your printer, and add more saturation and contrast(you will need
to use trial an error to get the best results), the acetate haves only one printable face, so you must read the instructions,
you can print 2 pictures per page.
When you get your picture or pictures printed at the correct size, you just need to cut the excess acetate,
then you can use transparent tape to attach the picture to your El Panel.
I found a good source for the panels here www.el-w.com and here www.etsy.com/shop/lightkraft . Those were the best prices I've found in the US.

Well, here's a shocker. eHarmony, the online dating service, commissioned a survey that found out that couples who get married after meeting online are more satisfied than other couples.
I'm sure there's no bias in that survey.
But here's another shocker: a leading scientific journal just published the eHarmony survey as a bona fide scientific study. The lead author is a consultant to eHarmony and another author is eHarmony's former research director, Gian Gonzaga. According to the published paper, Gonzaga designed the study.
The journal in question is the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), a high-profile journal that is published by the prestigious U.S. National Academies.
Why would PNAS publish an article that is basically an advertisement for eHarmony.com? I'm sure the editors at PNAS would argue that it's a well-executed scientific study, but they sure got lots of publicity, with articles in the Los Angeles Times, USA Today, and Nature, not to mention a short piece in Forbes. (And yes, I'm doing it too.) A cynic might point out that both eHarmony and PNAS got what they wanted.
But what about the study itself? Well, let's take a look. The study, titled "Marital satisfaction and break-ups differ across on-line and off-line meeting venues," is based on a survey of 19,131 people who got married between 2005 and 2012. 6,654 of these people met online, 35% of the total, which is a surprisingly high percentage.
The headline result is the claim that couples who met online have "higher marital satisfaction." People who met this way reported a satisfaction of 5.64, on average, versus 5.48 for those who met offline. That's a very small absolute difference, but with such large numbers in the survey, even this small difference is, in a narrow technical sense, statistically significant. The satisfaction scale ranged from 1 "Extremely Unhappy" to 7 "Perfect." So all this fuss and publicity is over a difference between 5.5 and 5.6 in a survey.
But the higher average satisfaction might have nothing to do with how the couples met. In my reading of the study, it seems much more likely that other factors explain the difference.
Several things are immediately obvious when one looks at the composition of the online versus offline couples. The online couples are significantly older, wealthier, and more educated: for example, 40.5% of those who met their spouse online reported an income of $100,000 or more, compared to just 26.1% of the offline couples. These factors alone could explain the difference in marital happiness.
The authors claim that they controlled for all of these confounding factors, and that the marital satisfication score was still significantly higher for online couples. Alas, they don't provide enough details, even in their supplementary data, to evaluate this claim. I guess we're just supposed to trust them. (Note: I believe them when they say they controlled for these variables. I'm just not sure precisely how they did it, or if the control function really eliminated all bias.) They did recruit two independent statisticians as co-authors, which is supposed to assure us that they were unbiased. But these steps wouldn't eliminate bias that might have crept in earlier, when the eHarmony-sponsored survey was being conducted.
The article also reports the marital satisfication score of specific online dating sites. Guess which one scores the highest? That's right: eHarmony. Why am I not surprised?
At the end of the article, the authors speculate about why couples who met online might have more satisfaction in their marriages. (This assumes, of course, that the effect is real.) They suggest that
"among on-line dating sites, it is also possible that the various matching algorithms may play a role in marital outcomes."
There it is! That's the conclusion that eHarmony wanted. I think they got their money's worth.
In many ways, this study seems like the often-criticized studies funded by drug manufacturers that find small but significant benefit for the sponsors' drugs. Certainly there's a difference here, in that the only result is that someone might be convinced to try an on-line dating site, which might not be harmful at all.
It seems that eHarmony has found another perfect match: PNAS and eHarmony.com.

Claim: Drinking Mountain Dew brand soda causes one's testicles to shrink.
Example:[Collected via e-mail, 1997]
Origins: Wild rumors like the ones quoted above about a popular brand of lemon-lime soda have been circulating for several years now. The first clue to its questionable veracity is the variety of reported effects: Drinking Mountain Dew will shrink your testicles. Or decrease your sperm count. Or cause your penis to grow smaller. Well, whatever occurs, it only happens to guys, and it hits them below the belt, right? Sounds a lot like the early 1990s legend that claimed
These rumors are primarily spread about PepsiCo's Mountain Dew soft drink, although it has also been told about Mello Yello (a Coca-Cola product which, though still available, has been supplanted by Surge). The key factor is the presence of a dye called
Yellow No. 5, also known as tartrazine, is an FD&C (i.e., approved for use in food, drugs, and cosmetics) coloring dye commonly used to give various foods (such as beverages, candy, and ice cream) a bright lemon yellow color. It has long been deemed safe by the Food and Drug Administration. It has also been in use since 1916, so if it were shrinking penises and testicles, we'd probably have heard something more than rumors about it by now. (The FDA's established acceptable daily intake [ADI] for tartrazine is 5.0 milligrams per kilogram of body weight per day, which is about .01 ounces for a

If you're male and drink a lot of Mountain Dew, you will notice one related but perfectly harmless side effect: quite a bit of yellow liquid will flow out of your penis.

Put down your phone. There's no need to call your eye doctor and make an appointment to up your prescription.
Yes, the May cover of Interior Design is eerily similar to ours. And we were just as surprised as you. But unlike that other May cover, you saw ours in MAY.
So we'll do as our mothers taught us: if you don't have anything nice to say let others say it for you.
Here's a recent post by our friends over at the KB Resource blog. KB-Resource.com is a kitchen/bath site that features a growing community of designers, showrooms, architects, product developers and other professionals who want to stay up to date on products and services. See how they evaluated this tale of two covers on their blog:
We receive hundreds of magazines in our offices each month. That's no exaggeration. When thousands of print and digital publications are published each month, there are bound to be creative similarities at times. (There are no new ideas, right?)
But the covers of Interior Design and Interiors & Sources are a little too close for comfort: They both depict the spray-painted mural by El Mac in Adobe's new corporate campus in Utah.
A coincidence? Uh, no. I don't believe in coincidences, and it's certainly no accident this time, according to "sources." (But I'll let that topic go.)
Interiors & Sources beat Interior Design to the punch by publishing this cover first. So why didn't the Interior Design team see the other cover and change its plans? This may cause some confusion when both issues appear at the NeoCon show in Chicago. Attendees and subscribers may make the mistake of thinking they're the same magazine.

Based on your skin type and condition, there are specific products to address specific concerns. For instance, if you have deep facial lines and wrinkles, there are anti-wrinkle serums and moisturizers to help reduce these signs of aging. If you suffer from acne breakouts, there are topical treatments to help prevent and reduce these breakouts. However, the formula we will examine in this review is Actifirm Renovation Moisture Balancer. This is a $72 face treatment that is geared toward individuals with dry, aging complexions.
Product Details
Actifirm Renovation Moisture Balancer is stated to be a daily moisturizer and anti-aging product in one. More specifically, this formula aims to calm the skin, fight signs of aging, soothe any irritation, moisturize the dermis, and fight free radical damage. It is loaded with natural plant extracts, botanicals and oils, which may help improve skin tone and texture. However, no parabens, chemical dyes, or artificial fragrances are used in Actifirm Renovation Moisture Balancer. Although this formula is supposed to deeply hydrate the skin, it is not supposed to clog the pores or lead to any breakouts.
There are several beneficial ingredients found in Actifirm Renovation Moisture Balancer. These are Aloe Leaf Juice (heals and hydrates the dermis), Hyaluronic Acid (helps bind moisture to the skin to prevent dryness), Japanese Green Tea Extract (contains antioxidants to fight free radical damage), Roman Chamomile Extract (calms and soothes the skin), Algae Extract (calms redness and irritation), Lemon Peel Oil (brightens skin tone), Jojoba Oil (helps soothe and hydrate the skin), Squalane (helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles), Coriander Oil (soothes and calms the dermis), and Olive Fruit Extract (contains antioxidants to fend off free radicals).
The Good
- No parabens or artificial dyes are used in this formula.
- Actifirm Renovation Moisture Balancer contains antioxidants.
- The active ingredients used in this formula are revealed.
The Bad
- No proven anti-aging ingredients like Argireline or Matrixyl are used in this product.
- This formula is really just for people with dry skin types.
- The cost of Actifirm Renovation Moisture Balancer is high at $72.
- You may not be able to find this product in local beauty stores.
The Bottom Line
If you take a look at the complete ingredient list for Actifirm Renovation Moisture Balancer, you will see that it only contains natural extracts, plant ingredients, oils, and botanicals. These ingredients may help improve the tone and texture of your skin, while moisturizing and minimizing signs of aging. However, there are no proven anti-aging ingredients like Matrixyl or Argireline used in this formula. Furthermore, Actifirm Renovation Moisture Balancer sells for $72 per ounce, which is quite expensive for most people. Therefore you should certainly explore other options.

Consumer genetics startup 23andMe, which has gone through a difficult series of repositionings, announced a new $50 million round of financing, doubling its total investment take so far. There's one new name on the list: Facebook Facebook billionaire Yuri Milner. (See this profile of Milner by my colleague Parmy Olson.)
Previous 23andMe investors are re-upping: Chief executive Anne Wojcicki, her husband Sergey Brin, the Google Google founder, New Enterprise Associates, Google Ventures and MPM Capital. The company is also cutting the price of its service, which includes a spit test for specific single-letter misspellings in DNA called SNPs (pronounced "snips," for single nucleotide polymorphisms) and a Web service that let's people find out what their SNPs might mean. This is much less detailed information than a person would get from DNA sequencing, but 23andMe is betting on the power of large numbers — the press release talks about "the power of one million people" — to make the data useful.
The reinvestment may be a sign, along with sale of DeCode Genetics to Amgen yesterday, in further renewed interest in the power of genetic technologies for the development of drugs and other medical interventions.

By Corrie MacLaggan
AUSTIN, Texas, April 4 (Reuters) - The Texas House of Representatives on Thursday began debating a two-year budget proposal that would increase state spending by about 7 percent and restore some of the cuts made to public education in 2011.
Two years after lawmakers passed a spending plan that made deep cuts in the face of a budget shortfall, the state's financial health and robust economic growth have allowed budget writers to add back a significant amount of that money, House Appropriations Chairman Jim Pitts told his colleagues.
"We have not done so recklessly and we have not replaced every dollar that was removed during last session," said Pitts, a Republican.
Pitts said the proposed budget "will preserve the state's fiscal stability and economic prosperity while protecting the citizens of Texas through vital services and programs."
Texas Comptroller Susan Combs projected earlier this year the Legislature would have ${esc.dollar}101.4 billion available to spend, thanks to higher-than-expected tax collections boosted by economic growth. That included ${esc.dollar}8.8 billion expected to remain at the end of the current budget cycle.
The House budget proposal for 2014-2015 includes ${esc.dollar}93.5 billion in state spending, a 7 percent increase over the previous two-year period. The total proposed House budget, including federal funds, is ${esc.dollar}193.8 billion, a 2.1 percent increase.
The proposal includes an additional ${esc.dollar}2.5 billion for schools, two years after ${esc.dollar}4 billion was cut from education.
"In fact, ${esc.dollar}2.5 billion is a huge chunk of money to restore what was cut - not where we wanted to be, a lot of us, but it did restore," state Representative Donna Howard, a Democratic member of the appropriations panel, said during the debate.
The Senate in March passed a budget proposal that includes about ${esc.dollar}1 billion less for schools than the House proposal. The Senate's proposal would spend ${esc.dollar}94.1 billion in state funds and ${esc.dollar}195.5 billion total. Both chambers have Republican majorities.
Like the Senate budget, the House budget increases spending on mental health programs.
The House is expected to debate the budget late into Thursday night. After the House approves a spending plan, the two chambers will have to reconcile the differences in their proposals. (Reporting by Corrie MacLaggan; Editing by Eric Beech)

Footage from failed Wonder Woman TV pilot by kahramanlarsinemada
Remember when we were all so excited to watch Friday Night Lights star Adrianne Palicki run around in a stars n' stripes colored body suit as Wonder Woman, only to have the show not go to series? Well now we know why our dreams were left unfulfilled. Footage from the NBC pilot has leaked and oof, is it rough. We're about as lowbrow as it gets, but even the clip above is too cheesy for us — overacted and melodramatic with way too much intense eye work from the actors. You can also feel how excited the writers were when they discovered they could use the word "tits" on television. "OMG, we can have them say 'tits?' We gotta use it as much as possible, you guys! It's so edgyyy!" Except that it's not. It's just awkward.
More clips from Wonder Woman are up on ONTD.

The Military vs. the Islamists
Nov 04, 2013
Political Islam in Egypt has suffered a tremendous blow, its biggest setback since its emergence as a formidable ideology and political movement in the early 20th century. But it is not yet clear if other Islamist groups, particularly Salafi groups such as the Nour Party, are in or have benefited from the Brotherhood's declining fortunes.

Tunisia's ruling Islamic party, Ennahda, has made repeated compromises on religious issues to meet secularist demands for a new constitution, according to Woodrow Wilson Senior Scholar David Ottaway. But Ennahda's moderate leadership has lost secularist trust by showing too much deference to its own militant Islamic wing and fundamentalist Salafis outside the movement.

The world stood by while Hitler was gassing people by the thousands. Let us not repeat this grave and shameful mistake! We must protest the killing of innocent people. It is the moral and decent thing to do. A coalition of protesters would be such a powerful message to the evil and crazy people who would kill us all. I say shame to the rest of the world who are willing to turn their heads the other way.

20. The endoscope of
Endoscopes enable visual examination of structure inside cavities. In the field of medicine, the use of endoscopes permits inspection of organs for the purposes of diagnosis, viewing of a surgical site, sampling tissue, or facilitating the safe manipulation of other surgical instruments.
Laparoscopes, for example, are used particularly for examining organs in the abdominal area. Laparoscopes typically include a light pipe for illuminating the region to be viewed, at least one lens assembly for focusing and relaying the image of the illuminated object, and a housing for the entire assembly which is structured to minimize tissue damage during the surgical procedure. The light pipe can include a fiber optic element for illuminating the site. The laparoscope housing includes a distal section that can be inserted within a body cavity and a proximal section which can include a handle that a user grips to position the distal end near the surgical site.
Existing endoscopes can include an imaging device such as a charged coupled device (CCD). This device can capture an image of an object being viewed and convey it to a display device, such as a monitor. There is a continuing need to improve on the operational features and manufacturability of endoscope systems that improve imaging capability and reduce the risk to the patient.
The present invention relates to a small diameter imaging probe or endoscope having improved durability, resolution, and field of view. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the distal end of the probe including a disposable sheath, can be inserted into the tissue under examination. The probe is less than 3 millimeters in diameter, and preferably less than 2 millimeters in diameter, to reduce trauma at the point of insertion and thereby provide access to sites that are otherwise unavailable for endoscopic procedures.
In a preferred embodiment, the endoscope has a fiber optic waveguide that transmits an image from a distal end to a proximal end. A lens system is positioned at the distal end of the fiber optic waveguide. An imaging device is optically coupled to the proximal end of fiber optic waveguide. A sheath extends about the fiber optic waveguide, the sheath including illumination fibers. Although a preferred embodiment utilizes a probe and sheath assembly having an outer diameter of 2 mm or less, certain applications will accommodate a larger diameter instrument having a larger number of imaging fibers to provide a higher resolution image. These applications can utilize outer diameters in a range of 2-4 mm.
In one embodiment, the lens system having a first lens element, a second lens element and an aperture stop. The lens system couples light from any given position on the object to a plurality of optical fibers such that the numerical aperture of light varies as a function of the angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the lens system. This provides more efficient coupling to the fiber apertures. This is accomplished using a non-telecentric lens system.
A preferred embodiment of the lens system includes a pair of lenses and an aperture stop. The lenses are shaped to improve light collection around the periphery of the distal lens. This provides a clearer image across the entire field of view of the device. The aperture stop is positioned to provide efficient coupling to the array of fibers.
The imaging device can be a charged coupled device (CCD), a CMOS imaging device or other solid state imaging sensor having a two dimensional array of pixel elements. The imaging sensor is mounted on a circuit board in a handle assembly. The sensor can capture an image as an object being viewed and an image processing circuit mounted onto the circuit board transfers the image data over a video cable to a computer for storage, processing and/or display.
The miniature endoscope system can be used for orthopedic, rhematologic, general laparoscopic, gynecological or ear, nose and throat procedures, for example. Although many applications require a small diameter to reduce trauma, certain applications can accommodate larger diameters. The probe can include an open channel in either the sheath or the imaging probe to provide for the insertion of other operative elements to flush the site with fluid, direct light or other energy source onto a treatment site, or to remove a tissue sample.
The sheath assembly can include a concentric array of illumination fibers extending to a connector on a sheath hub assembly. Alternatively, the illumination fibers can couple to a fiber connector in the probe assembly that is coupled directly via fiber optic cable extending from the handle to a light source housing. The housing can include a video disk recorder that writes the video onto disk. For certain applications, an illumination bundle can be positioned within the probe such that the sheath is thinner or can accommodate a larger working channel.
The foregoing and other objects, features and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following more particular description of preferred embodiments of the invention, as illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which like reference characters refer to the same parts throughout the different views. The drawings are not necessarily to scale, emphasis instead being placed upon illustrating the principles of the invention.
An embodiment of the invention is illustrated in
The handle 32 can house a power input 41, used to provide power to the endoscope 20. It is recognized that the light source 40 and/or power source can be mounted within the handle 32.
The handle 32 can also house an image output 42. The image output 42 provides a connection between an imaging device in the imaging unit 22 of the endoscope 20 and an electronic storage and/or display device. In one embodiment, the storage device is a computer 44, which is connected to a monitor 46. A control unit 250 is described in greater detail with respect to FIG. 19.
As explained below in greater detail the imaging unit 22 does not need to be sterilized in that the imaging unit 22 does not contact or is in direct exposure to the body. The sheath/illuminator unit 24 has the disposable sheath 34 that is a sleeve assembly 52 that is carried by the base 35 secured to the imaging unit 22 that overlies the elongated tube 28 to create a sterilized barrier. In addition, the sheath/illumination unit 24 has a sterilized drape 52 which is mounted to the base 35 of the sheath/illuminator unit 24 and is positioned to overlie the remaining portion of the imaging unit 22 to provide a sterile environment.
Endoscopes and endoscopes with disposable sheaths are described in PCT Application PCT/US00/25107 filed on Sep. 13, 2000 and U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/518,954 filed on Mar. 6, 2000. The entire contents of the above applications are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
Prior to discussing the endoscope 20 in further detail, in order to use the endoscope 20, the endoscope 20 needs to be positioned in the body to view the desired location. One such method is to insert a cannula 60 into the body and thread the endoscope 20 through the cannula 60. One method of inserting the cannula 60 into the body and then inserting the endoscope 20 into a body using the cannula 60 is described below.
During an insertion procedure, a cannula 60 such as seen in
For insertion of the cannula 60 into the body, a trocar 76, as seen in
While the cannula 60 and trocar 76 are of a relative minimal cost and can be reused after sterilization or disposed of after use, because of several components in the endoscope 20 such as components in the imaging unit 22, it is not desirous to dispose of the entire endoscope 20. The endoscope 20 uses a disposable sleeve or sheath 34 to aid in maintaining a sterile environment and reduce or eliminate the sterilization requirements prior to reuse.
With the method of inserting the endoscope 20 into the cannula 60 to have the distal end of the endoscope 20 at the proper location, previously described, the endoscope 20 is described in further detail. Referring to
As seen in
The disposable sheath/illuminator unit 24 has the drape 52 which surrounds the handle of the imaging unit 22. In addition, the sheath/illuminator unit 24 has the illumination pigtail connecting to a light source 40 as seen in FIG. 1. The illumination pigtail 88 is optically coupled to the optical fibers in the sheath as explained in further detail below.
Referring to
In a preferred embodiment, the outer sheath 98 of the disposable sheath 34 of the sheath/illuminator unit 24 is made of a stainless steel material and has an outer diameter of about 0.038 inches. The inner tube 100 is likewise made of a stainless steel material. The illumination fibers 108 are made of a glass or plastic fiber. Depending on the size of the device, the maximum number of illumination fibers 108 used to fill channel 106. In one example, the disposable sheath 34 extends 2.246 inches from the base 35 of the sheath/illuminator unit 24.
Interposed between the outer sheath 98 and the inner tube is the plurality of illumination fibers 108 which encircle the inner tube 100 as best seen in
The illumination pigtail 88 has a connection 38 for connecting to a connector on the light source 40. The illumination pigtail 88 has a plurality of optical fibers which run from the connection 38 to the fibers 108 which transmit the light received from the light source 40 to the transmission unit 118 shown in FIG. 7A and exit at 84.
Referring to
The imaging unit 22 enlarges the image from the end of the fiber optic 26 and couples it to the charged coupled device 30B. As indicated above, the charged coupled device is connected to a electronic storage and/or display device such as a computer 44 which is connected to a monitor 46 as seen in FIG. 1.
The handle 32 of the imaging unit 22 has a mounting mechanism 128 for coupling with the mounting mechanisms 36 of the sheath illuminator unit 24. The mounting mechanism 128 has slots 130 for receiving pins located on the mounting mechanisms 36. In addition, the mounting mechanism 128 has a projection 134, from which the probe 29 projects, that is received by the receiving chamber 114 of the sheath/illuminator unit 24 as seen in FIG. 6A.
An enlarged view of the distal end of the imaging unit 22 is shown in FIG. 10A. The rod tip 29 of the imaging unit 22 has the elongated tube 28 that extends from the distal end 126 to the housing 120 of the handle 32. At the distal end 126 of the rod tip 29 there is in addition a tube 138 which extends a slight distance from the distal end 126 and just a slight distance beyond the ends of the optical or image fibers 26. The tube 138 is commonly referred to as the long tube in that a shorter and smaller diameter tube 140 which is collinear with the long tube 138 is received within the long tube 138 and extends a lens system 142 at the distal end 126. The elongated or outer tube 128, long tube 138 and small tube 140 are mounted so that their distal ends are flush and are secured by an adhesive such as a modicalgrade epoxy. At the end of the elongated tube 28 of the imaging unit 22 is the lens system 142 that is described in further detail below. The elongated tube 28 of the imaging unit 22 is received within the disposable sheath/illumination unit 24 and therefore does not need to be sterilized prior to the first use.
Referring to
In addition, the fibers are in a disorder pack method. This disorder pack method limits transmission of images/light from one lens 142 to another as the image fiber bundle 26 extends from near the distal end 126 of the imaging unit 22 towards the proximal end of the fibers located within the handle 32. The disorder packing of fibers is achieved by varying the doping of the fibers, which is the area to be examined.
Referring to
The distal lens system 142 as shown in
The ray tracings 160 in
Referring to
In one embodiment, the endoscope 20 has 10,000 fiber elements. In this embodiment, each fiber element 146 has a diameter of 4.4 microns. The overall diameter of the fiber 26 is 0.46 mounting mechanism. The elongated or outer tube 28 of the imaging unit is made from stainless steel. It is recognized, that the scope can be formed in many sizes, the following table is merely an illustration of various intervening size scopes.
As can be seen from table above, an alternative to an acromat lens described above with respect to
The rod tip 29 of the image unit 22 as shown in
The grin lens 168 in general does not provide as good of image quality as that of the acromat lens system 142 described above in that the image becomes less clear (i.e., blurry and distorted) towards the edge of the image. In addition, the color correction, changes in intensity as a function of wavelength, is not as good as in the acromat lens system. However, the GRIN lens system 168 maybe desirable in situations where cost is a higher factor than the overall image quality. In addition, because of the grin lens 170 being a single element lens the depth of fields may be limited. While only 2 different degrees of freedom are shown, it is recognized that lens systems with other fields of view can be made.
In addition in the embodiment of the endoscope 170 shown in
The lower half of
Referring to
Referring to
In that the sheath is not required to carry illumination to the distal end of the rod tip 218 in the embodiment shown in
Referring to
The endoscope is used as shown generally in the process sequence 270 of FIG. 20. The patient comes to the user/physician's office. The physician or technician uses a double gloved technique where two sterilized gloves are placed on each of the physician's hands. The physician takes the handle/illuminator unit which is not sterilized in one hand and secure the sterilized sheath/illuminator unit with the other hand. The physician then takes the lighting cord and secure the light cord to the pigtail on the disposable sheath/illuminator unit. The power and image output are likewise connected to the control unit. With the endoscope connected to the control unit, the drape portion of the sheath assembly is extended 272 over the handle and down the cords to such a length to provide a sterile field. With this completed, the physician takes off the first pair of gloves and is ready to begin the procedure.
After medicating the site, the cannula with the trocar is inserted into the body by a standard technique of probing with the physician's hand. Once the cannula is in position, the trocar is removed 274 and the tip of the endoscope is placed into the cannula. The endoscope is secured to the cannula using a screw or other attachment mechanism. The system is actuated 276 and video recording is initiated so that the physician is able to move the cannula in and out and around to position the probe for viewing of the desired site or a monitor. The physician can perform a procedure 278 at the site using other instruments such as a laser scalpel or cautery tool, or electrosurgical tool and/or the operative channel in the probe or sheath assembly. The entire examination or operative procedure can be recorded 280 on a video disk or other memory device. The procedure is concluded and the sheath assembly can be disposed 282 of and another sterile sheath assembly can be attached 284 to the probe for another procedure.
The claims should not be read as limited to the described order or elements unless stated to that effect. Therefore, all embodiments that come within the scope and spirit of the following claims and equivalents thereto are claimed as the invention.

This is a shame but I have learned from experience that stories like this are always one-sided. Rahway is one of those city's that wants to make you believe that it was just a fight gone wrong when in reality it was most likely gang related. They have a gang in this town called SVG (silent violent gangsters) and unfortunately this kid may have been involved.

Betting Bad Teams In College Football
It seems like everyone wants to jump on the bandwagon and throw their support for the really good teams, but is that the correct side to be on? In this article we'll examine how betting bad teams is profitable.
In college football you see many games that are huge mismatches. If you are like me you sometimes overlook them and think who cares. I am here to tell you that you should care, because there is money to be made by wagering on some of these fat underdogs.
The reasons may be simple, you have a very good team who is either looking ahead, resting starters or just plain has no incentive to play hard against a team who is maybe getting their one shot to be in the ESPN highlights. Let's also not forget that the bookies know the general betting public loves to bet on favorites so these lines are more inflated than your less popular games.
Let's look at the results for the past 10 years and see how some really big mismatches played out. I will break them down by year to see how 40 point favorites performed each year.
- 1996 3 wins 6 losses
- 1997 5 wins 5 losses
- 1998 3 wins 5 losses
- 1999 3 wins 4 losses
- 2000 4 wins 10 losses
- 2001 1 win 6 losses
- 2002 2 wins 5 losses
- 2003 0 wins 4 losses
- 2004 1 win 2 losses
- 2005 1 win 2 losses
The total record of these teams is a 10 year combined record of 23 wins and 49 losses. In other words, if you were to bet the underdog in these games you would have gone 49-23 hitting at a win rate of 68.1% and would be up 23.7 units (based on betting 1.1 units to win 1 unit per game). These numbers are astounding and better than a professional sports bettor can even expect to bang out.
I realize that there are not a lot of these opportunities that arise each year, but when they do they are certainly a good bet to cash.
Another possibility is to lower the threshold of the spread to underdogs of 35 points or more. I only have the numbers to support the 2005 season but can vouch that the historically, the numbers are consistently profitable.
The record of 35+ point underdogs in 2005 was 11 wins and 8 losses for a winning percentage of 57.9% which is certainly enough to turn a profit.
An important note about this record is that I noticed that 35+ point spread underdogs later in the season were much more profitable than the games in the early part of the season. This is something to keep in mind as later in the year you get into conference matchups and it is much tougher to not look ahead or take a week off mentally.
I will be looking forward to these big mismatches this year and hopefully you will look to back some of these also and we can pick up a few units of profit!
We hope to make note and highlight some of those games right here at Marasoft.com so be sure to bookmark the site and check back for FREE picks and handicapping articles each week from both the college and pros!

Starting point for the logo is the sculpture that was especially commissioned by Jan Starke from Truus Naus.
By far most works of art, especially those from the 19th and early 20th century, were made for the private home. The walls of the drawing room, dining room or study, even the bed room and the corridor became the support for the collector's passion of the lord or lady of the house. Although artists often exhibited away from their studio, the majority of the paintings, drawings, and prints were definitely destined for the private market.
Most visitors to art collections have become accustomed to the museum-space. Brightly, conveniently arranged rooms, properly lit walls, compact information, and an almost sacred atmosphere determine – under the supervision of the custodian – the way in which people started addressing art.
Art-shops and galleries often started, in imitation of the 'big brother', to display their collection in a museum-like manner, both on the premises and at the (international) art fairs. Paintings and drawings, temporarily on display, waiting to be taken home by an enthusiastic admirer.
'Huis voor de Kunst' ,first and foremost, wants to be that home. A place for paintings to come home to, a place for collectors and interested parties to gather and look at and talk about a collection that has been raised with so much passion throughout a period of over thirty years. Point of departure is a dialogue, with art as intermediary between people.
Therefore we are looking forward to meeting a very diverse audience, varying from an individual enthusiast, collector, or potential buyer to a company, organisation, or for example a class from the local grammar-school.
'Huis voor de Kunst' (House for the Arts) wants to be a normal house with extraordinary contents. Extraordinary because of the collection and because of the facilities we can offer to a discriminative audience who's wishes may exceed the mere looking at art.

This event is free and open to the public. Click here to register.
About the event: Several major disruptors have taken hold on the legal profession, changing not only the way lawyers practice law but the expectations and demands of the public seeking legal assistance. Some of these disruptors are technology-based, such as document assembly and automation, the growth of ecommerce, the spread of online legal service providers and a general digital connectivity that ignores geographic boundaries and enables perpetual sharing of information. Consumers are comfortable going online to handle business and professional transactions. When the public goes online to find legal assistance, what options are available to them? How does a lawyer address this market need for online legal services while complying with ethics opinions and rules of professional responsibility?
Attorneys and law firms are delivering legal services online to clients through different forms of virtual law practice. Law firms are creating completely web-based virtual law offices or integrating a secure online client portal into a traditional law firm structure. The ability to provide affordable and convenient access to legal services through the use of technology benefits both the legal profession and the public it serves.
This presentation will provide an introduction to how a virtual law firm delivers legal services online to clients as well as discuss some of the other technologies and trends in web-based unbundled delivery.
About the Speaker: Stephanie Kimbro, MA, JD, has operated a web-based virtual law office in North Carolina since 2006 and delivers unbundled estate planning to clients online. She is also the current Director of the North Carolina branch of Burton Law, LLC, a multijurisdictional virtual law firm. Kimbro is the recipient of the 2009 ABA Keane Award for Excellence in eLawyering and was named an ABA Legal Rebel in 2010. She is the author of Virtual Law Practice: How to Deliver Legal Services Online, published by the ABA/LPM in October, 2010 and Limited Scope Legal Services: Unbundling and the Self-Help Client, March 2012. She is also the co-founder of Virtual Law Office Technology, LLC (VLOTech), which was acquired by Total Attorneys, a Chicago-based legal technology company, in the fall of 2009.
In addition to her virtual law practice, Kimbro is a technology consultant providing assistance to other lawyers interested in the online delivery of legal services.

What is the balanced chemical equation of Acetic Acid and Sodium Bicarbonate that react, then when settled, the gas of the reaction (I persume CO2) is taken out and put into lime water, what would be the balanced chemical equation?
1 Answer | Add Yours
Acetic acid and Sodium bicarbonate react, to form sodium acetate and carbonic acid, which is very unstable and decomposes instantaneously to produce CO2 and H2O. When this gas is passed through clear lime water, which contains Ca(OH)2, insoluble CaCO3 is formed which turns lime water milky. When the gas is passed in excess the solution turns clear again owing to the formation of relatively more soluble Ca(HCO3)2. This is the basis for lime water test for CO2. The balanced chemical equations are as follows:
- CH3CO2H + NaHCO3 = CH3CO2Na + H2CO3
- H2CO3 = H2O + CO2 (gas)
- Ca(OH)2 + CO2 = CaCO3 + H2O
- CaCO3 + CO2 + H2O = Ca(HCO3)2

Nursery DIY Projects
Don't you love those last few weeks before your first-born arrives when you have time for little projects around the house? I realize my free time is fleeting, so I've been making the most of it by adding some finishing touches to the nursery. We didn't actually paint the room, since it was freshened up a year ago, so that left more time for the details. Read on for some easy DIY ideas while feathering your nest.
We finally found an affordable, simple white crib, which allowed us to splurge on a healthy organic mattress. And my sister passed her equally simple white change table on to us for $0.
These are old Ikea baskets I've had forever and they happened to fit perfectly in our hand-me-down change table. But I thought basket liners would make them more clothes-friendly. I didn't want a fabric that was too baby-ish, so I went with a simple aqua and white stripe. This way, these baskets could look right at home in a laundry room or basement, without having to sew new liners for them.
I have a very talented mother. No, I didn't sew these myself, but I did measure and cut the fabric for her. She spent the better part of a Sunday sewing these together. They're lined on all four sides inside, and then we attached aqua ribbon to hold the liners in place. Again, not too baby-ish or gender-specific.
I dragged my hubby to nearly every furniture store in the city looking for the perfect nursing chair. Gliders, recliners, rocking chairs... there are a multitude of options out there, but I didn't love any of them, and most were around $1,000. We thought maybe we could invest in an armchair that could be used in the living room post-babies, but again, we weren't sold on any one style. And I didn't think the modern shapes of most of them would suit the traditional style of the nursery.
Then we found this solid wood glider at a yard sale for $50. It was already painted white, but had two awful denim cushions that had seen better days. I gave it a fresh coat of white paint — although it didn't really need it — and picked up some inexpensive batting at my local fabric store to make some new cushions. (I didn't know just how old those denim ones were, so I thought it best to toss them.) My mom covered the batting in the same striped fabric.
There are several vintage gold lamps and frames in the nursery, so I wanted to tie in a bit of the gold with pillows, too. My mom had sewn these years ago for a bed, so I pulled them out of storage for the glider.
I hand-sewed the same ribbon on the back of the chair cushions to hold them in place. I love the traditional lines of this glider!
I come up with funny little projects from time to time, excitedly explain them to my husband, and receive a look of confusion in response. But once the bee is in my bonnet, there's no turning back. I was convinced this gallery wall idea would be great.
I still have lots of children's books from when I was young, but I couldn't imagine cutting them up, so my first step was to track down some old children's books. I headed to my favourite antiques market, Mizener's, and rounded up these gems. They're not so old that they're worth anything (most were around $1), but they're old enough to have illustrations that evoke that sense of nostalgia. You don't want to cut up books that are actually ancient, since their value increases, but most of these are from the 1960s.
I also picked up some old gold and aqua frames at Mizener's. (Okay, a couple might be from HomeSense, but I loved the colours.) I also had a few gold frames kicking around from our wedding last year, waiting in Rubbermaid bins to be repurposed. I played around with the arrangement until it seemed right.
Then I tore out book illustrations that reminded me of my own favourite childhood stories — this was the best part of the project! Narrowing it down to 10 was difficult, though.
I wiped off the dusty frames and inserted the illustrations. Most of these frames didn't have wall-hanging hardware on the backs, so I had to attach myself (tedious). I started hanging them from the middle of the arrangement and worked my way out to the edges (usually the easiest with a scattered gallery wall like this). I didn't want the grouping to look too tidy, so I played around with it a bit, but it's still a good idea to leave the same amount of space between each frame. The change table is at the bottom left (see the first photo above), so I had to build it up a bit higher on the left to make sure flailing arms wouldn't knock any frames down. Safety first! But I actually like how it swooshes from bottom right to top left. Now that the gallery wall is all put together, my husband has caught up with my vision.
And now my nursery projects are complete. What to do now?
I'm due in less than a week, so I suppose I should wrap up at work. Until next year, everyone...

DIY Wallet For Dad
Stumped for a last-minute Father's Day gift? Check out our photo gallery of gift ideas, or make something yourself if you're feeling extra thoughtful. I came across this easy DIY project for leather card holders on the crafty blog Caila Made. (Visit Caila's blog for complete instructions and template.)
Dad can stash his credit cards and driver's license in one of these simple envelopes. Your local fabric store will surely have an array of colourful leathers, so choose a shade you know he'll love. You'll also need a sewing machine, leather needle and heavy-duty thread. Match the thread to the leather or choose a different hue that will stand out, like Caila did with hers.
Simple yet thoughtful. And useful.
Happy Father's Day! If you're planning on hosting brunch or dinner, check out our Father's Day Recipes for tons of great ideas.

Shopping For A Crib
My husband and I are expecting our first baby this August, so we're on the hunt for a simple white crib. Infants are usually in their bassinets for the first couple of months anyway, but first-time parents often feel the need to perfect the nursery long before baby even arrives, and we're no exception. We've been busying ourselves with preparations since the first trimester.
Our spare room is already quite traditional — plenty of antiques and old furniture that have been in my family for decades. Since this will become the nursery, we'd like to decorate it in the same style. There are already two old dressers in that room that we'll use for the baby, and my sister is giving us her vintage change table (also white), but we're struggling to find a crib and accents that aren't too modern. Here are some of the cribs we've rounded up so far:
The Dylan crib from Duc Duc has that simple look we're going for, but I would prefer an open base and spindles on all four sides.
The Savannah crib, also from Duc Duc, is more my style, but I'm not sure about the wood panelling below the mattress. You can customize it with one of seven different colours, but I'm not crazy about any of them.
Bloom's Alma Max crib is a top-seller, but I think it's a tad modern for our existing furniture.
Oeuf's Sparrow crib is clean and contemporary — a timeless choice that could work in any style of nursery.
This Liberty crib from Franklin & Ben is a fresh take on the antique spindle crib, and I love the detailing on the legs and spindles. Also, priced at around $400, it's much more affordable than the ones above.
The Barcelona classic crib from Natart Juvenile is just as beautiful, but is made here in Canada. Also reasonably priced at $430.
And then there's the Gulliver crib from Ikea. I always go back to this one. It's simple and fuss-free.
What do you think? Will any of these more modern shapes work with our vintage white dressers?
Check out Katie Hayden's blog for more great ideas for kids' rooms.

Mixing Styles
Last October, my girlfriends and I stayed at a gorgeous bed & breakfast here in Toronto the night before my wedding. I booked it online without knowing much about it, other than its proximity to Allan Gardens for pre-wedding photos and a short walking distance to our wedding venue, The St. Lawrence Market.
Well, we rolled into the Banting House Inn and we were pleasantly surprised. For such reasonable prices, it was absolutely stunning. I couldn't resist snapping some photos of the perfectly appointed rooms before we headed off to the wedding. (Yes, I was even in my wedding dress at this point.) Owners Scott and Greg clearly have a knack for mixing styles, and injected a bit of industrial edge into each corner of this old Victorian home. They prove that even old homes with traditional bones can be decorated with both vintage and modern finds. Get inspired by their effortless style.
This connecting room is to the right of the entryway. I love how the black-painted walls make the original woodwork pop.
And here is the formal living room with crisp white walls and sky-blue ceiling. Nice touch! The dramatic tufted sofa balances the softness of the ceiling.
They even had stacks of design books and iPads for guests to borrow.
The ceilings in here were probably 10 feet, and this gorgeous mirror stands about 8 feet tall. It was a great photo op with me putting my lipstick on.
There was a mix of furniture in this room that just seemed to work. A Navajo-style armchair, a mid-century modern black chair, an ornate white bench and an industrial bookshelf made from raw wood and metal. Instead of over-thinking furniture styles, just invest in pieces you love. The owners probably collected these items over the years, and then worked them into this formal room with confidence.
I've always loved these brushed metal stools with adjustable height. They topped one with a lamp for use as a side table.
A vintage shelf is a perfect spot to display collections of vintage items, like these old cigarette tins.
And here is the dining room with rustic wood table and chairs. They paired the old wood chairs with two modern moulded plastic chairs to balance out all the wood. And how about that chandelier!?
And so we met at Allan Gardens park for our photos, which was right down the street.
And here we are inside Allan Gardens.
I'd like to thank Scott for being so gracious with us — a know bridal parties can be loud and giggly. But our stay really made the night before the wedding stress-free.

Target Opens In Canada
If you haven't noticed, Target stores are popping up in Canada now! The affordable retailer steadily expanded from its small start-up in Minnesota back in 1962 to a booming business across borders. In Ontario, the Milton (Milton Mall Shopping Centre, 55 Ontario Street South), Guelph (175 Stone Road West) and Fergus (Gates of Fergus, 900 Tower Street South) locations are already open, with another 21 stores opening by by the end of the month (dates are still hush-hush). To find the location closest to you, browse their store finder.
In January, Target reps rounded up media to introduce their new product lines and collaborations, and I was lucky enough to check out the event.
It was held at Toronto's historic Evergreen Brick Works, and they tented off an indoor-outdoor area to keep guests cosy.
There was even an ice rink! I was waiting for them to start renting skates for us to try it out.
They had gorgeous new items on display that will be available in Canadian stores. This graphic lamp is from Threshold. The bird base is perfect for spring.
Target has some appealing collaborations with talented types like designer Nate Berkus, Food Network star Giada de Laurentiis and Roots co-founders Michael Budman and Don Green. This leaf tray from Nate Berkus's collection was just one of so many gorgeous items of his. Use it for serving nibblies in your backyard this spring.
This ombre-effect shower curtain is also from Nate Berkus. Use it in an all-white bathroom for a splash of fresh colour.
Giada de Laurentiis's stainless steel cutlery sets come in a sturdy bamboo block that would look great on any countertop.
Collaborators were even in attendance to introduce Canadians to their brands. Here is Target Canada's senior vice president of merchandising John Morioka with designer and TV host Nate Berkus.
And Food Network host Giada de Laurentiis up close and personal.
From left: Nate Berkus, Giada de Laurentiis, L.A. stylist-to-the-stars Kate Young and Roots co-founders Michael Budman and Don Green.
Turns out the ice rink wasn't for us, it was a fashion runway! The new collections at Target were modeled on the rink.
Be sure to check out your local Target for more home accessories that won't break the bank.

New For Spring
In the magazine world, we get to view the fresh spring/summer collections while snow is still blowing around outdoors. I attended the HomeSense preview this past week, and spotted lots of items worth watching out for. In summary: colour, colour and more colour. It was so refreshing to browse a room full of robin's egg blue, mustard yellow and burnt orange. Some of these items are even in stores already, so be sure to check out your local HomeSense this weekend. Pick up one colourful, spring-y accessory, and the warm weather will feel that much closer. Here's a roundup of my favourite finds:
This muted robin's egg blue is a great way to bring subtle colour into a bedroom without braving a new wall colour or bedding. And the drawers are lined with this pretty Moroccan-inspired print. I wish I had stumbled upon this before wallpapering my own dresser drawers. What a chore that was. Two-drawer dresser, $200.
For a bold hit of colour, try a mustard-yellow console for the front hall or dining room. And check out the detailing along the front and legs! Console table, $250.
Two of these bright blue side tables would add a pop of colour to a ho-hum bedroom. Lacquered side table, $150.
This bench is small enough to squeeze into a condo entryway, and conceals shoes and storage boxes underneath. I love the Greek-inspired detailing at the sides. Fretwork bench with cushion, $250.
You could use this small bar cart for extra storage in the kitchen of a tiny rental apartment, then roll it out and top it with drinks and snacks while entertaining. It's also available in white. Lacquered faux bamboo bar cart, $280.
Speaking of orange, check out the fun, juice colour on this affordable sofa with a classic mid-century modern shape. Too bright for your formal living room? Use it in a basement media room or bedroom. Orange tufted sofa, $700.
This pale yellow version would surely help you beat the winter blahs. Yellow tufted sofa, $800.
I'm a sucker for anything teal, and I wanted to roll this rug up and throw it over my shoulder. I love the hints of green in it as well. Rug, $180.
Update your lighting this spring with a couple of simple glass pendants. Glass ball pendant, $70 each.
Need a place to hang your hat (or spring umbrellas)? This metal tree coat rack plays in with the nature-inspired themes we're seeing everywhere this year. Coat rack, $130.
Adorable. They have such amazing throw pillows at HomeSense — some are even down-filled.
The guava-coloured coverlet on the left would look beautiful against a charcoal grey accent wall. And for $70 each, you can afford to switch it again come fall. Coverlets, $70 each.

How to save your hair from the pool
I was a part of my high school's swim team all four years I attended there. While it was nice staying in shape, getting great exercise and being in the sun, the huge downside to swimming is my hair took a severe beating. Luckily, most of all the girls on the team had a great routine that they kept up to make sure that their hair stayed healthy. I'll be sharing with you some of the awesome tips I picked up. While you may not be swimming everyday for hours at a time, it'll still be helpful for those lounging-by-the-pool afternoons.
Wet your hair first
Before you're about to go into a pool, it's a great idea to at least wet your hair first. Ideally, you'll want to condition it as well, but if you're in a rush or don't have access to conditioner, you'll want to wet it first. Using something like Alba Botanica conditioner is a great option because it's highly moisturizing. The reason you want to condition your hair first is because your hair is porous. It naturally absorbs whatever is placed on, or in it. If hair didn't do this, we wouldn't be able to put hairspray or any product on it. While it's great for styling, taking a dunk right into the pool can not only shock your hair, but have it soak up all the chemicals, like chlorine, which is known for making hair brittle, damaged and even discolored. Bottom line, put in something healthy before you take a dip.
Rinse and repeat
When you get out of the pool, you'll want to make sure that you rinse off completely afterwards. The entire team would always take showers afterwards, and it was to not only save our swimsuits, but it helped our hair significantly. We used things like shampoo for swimmers which helped keep our hair healthy tremendously. What's so wonderful about these shampoos is they are specially designed for swimming, so they help bring moisture back into your hair as well as remove the chemicals, in a safe way.
If you follow these tips then you'll be sure to save your hair anytime you go into a pool. Let us know how your summer goes in the comments below!

It's official. Alex Tagliani will run the full 2014 NASCAR Canadian Tire Series schedule.
Taglani will be unveiling his No. 18 Team EpiPen/Dicom Express Dodge at the Canadian Motorsports Expo this Friday afternoon. He will then be on the Inside Track stage on Saturday at noon to discuss his plans this season, before signing autographs for fans afterwards.
The ride will be prepared out of the DJK Racing, which is run by two-time NASCAR Canadian Tire Series Champion and current competitor D.J. Kennington.
The partnership between Tagliani and EpiPen makes sense as Tagliani has lived with a food allergy since childhood and is a strong advocate for anaphylaxis awareness and management. In partnership with EpiPen, he will promote food allergy awareness and safety for a Summer of TAG. The Summer of TAG (Treating Allergies with Genuine Care) supports Alex's charity of choice, Anaphylaxis Canada, in their efforts to engage Canadians in conversation about effective management of food allergies and what to do in the event of a reaction. For more information, check out http://www.summeroftag.com/.
Tagliani made 13 IndyCar starts last year for Barracuda Racing, scoring a best finish of 10th twice. He has made 16 NASCAR Canadian Tire Series starts over the years, scoring a win in 2008 in Edmonton.
The Canadian Motorsports Expo takes places at Toronto, Ontario's International Center and serves as the kick-off to the 2014 Canadian racing season. For more information on the CME, check out http://www.canadianmotorsportsexpo.com.

Cornwall golf round-up, September 11
Posted: September 11, 2013|
CORNWALL'S men made it four wins out of five in this season's Channel League when they beat Gloucestershire 8.5-6.5 at Newquay on Sunday, to keep alive their title hopes.
After the five morning foursomes, Cornwall led 3-2 following wins by Joe Yorke and Richard Jasper (one up), Connor Wilson & Sandy Kirton (3&2) and Richard Ackland and Harry Hall (6&5).
Then in the ten afternoon singles Cornwall came out on top 5.5-4.5.
The Cornwall winners were: Richard Jasper (one up), Joe Cruse (4 &3), Richard Ackland (one up), and Sandy Kirton (5&4), while there were halves for Joe Yorke, Connor Wilson and Matt Lock.
The key to Cornwall's win was their ability to finish off matches on the 18th hole where they won four times.
Cornwall now have one game left away to fellow title contenders Glamorgan at Radyr next month.
Cornwall seniors suffered a heavy 12.5-2.5 Channel League defeat against Gloucestershire at Bristol & Clifton.
Their points came from morning foursomes wins by Colin Ross and Dave O'Mahony and Mike Eddy and Mike Marshall, but in the ten afternoon singles only a halve for O'Mahony avoided a "whitewash" as they lost 9.5-0.5.
A reduced field of 40 juniors took part in the 36 hole Cornwall Junior Autumn Meeting at Mullion on Sunday.
The Penhale Cup for the best U18 gross score went to in-form county junior Tom Valentine from Carlyon Bay, who carded a three over par 36-hole total 143.
The Jubilee Tankard for the best U16 gross score of 146 went to Truro's Ryan House, who has put in some excellent scores and match results for Cornwall all season.
Mullion's own Conor Davidson took full advantage of playing on his home course to lift the Chris Brian Trophy for the best U14 gross score of 151.
Conor also won the John Dingle Trophy for the best overall gross score from a Mullion player. T
The am round gross score counts towards the Junior Order of Merit, which now puts Nial Hutton of St Mellion in the front closely followed by Tom Valentine. Final scoring round for the order of merit will be the St Enodoc Junior Open to be held on October 6.
Junior Autumn meeting results: Penhale Cup – Best U18 Gross score – Tom Valentine – Carlyon Bay – 143. Jubilee Tankard – Best U16 Gross score – Ryan House – Truro – 146. Chris Brian Trophy – Best U14 Gross score – Conor Davidson – Mullion – 151. John Dingle Trophy – Best Overall Mullion Gross – Conor Davidson – 151. Reg Curtiss Salver – Best Overall Nett Score – Jake Finn – Truro – 140. Scratch Runner Up – Conor Jenkins – Bude – 148; Scratch Third – Nial Hutton – St Mellion – 148. Handicap Prize ( 0-9 ) – 1st – John Rowe – Bowood – 140. Handicap Prize ( 0-9 ) – 2nd – Jamie Greet – Mullion – 141. Handicap Prize ( 10-18 ) 1st – Liam Hunter – Mullion – 140. Handicap Prize ( 10-18 ) 2nd – Simon Wilson – Mullion – 142. Handicap Prize ( 19 – 28 ) 1st – Freddie Norris – Killiow – 157. Handicap Prize ( 19 – 28 ) 2nd – Tom Stephens – Truro – 165. U14 Morning Nett 1st – Finn Rule – West Cornwall – 73. U14 Morning Nett 2nd – Tom Lentern – Falmouth – 74. U14 Morning Nett 3rd – Jack Andrew – Truro - 76
The St Enodoc team of Joe Cruse, Steve Chapman and Rob Davies will represent the county at Dudsbury Golf Club in Bournemouth n the England Men's Champion Club Competition .
The competition will take place on Saturday and Sunday, September 21-22. It is a 36 hole strokeplay competition with teams of three competing to become Champions of England and go on to play in the European championships later in October. St Enodoc qualified after winning the Cornwall Team Championship earlier this year.
Harry Hall (juniors), Michael Wigley (Seniors) and Joe Yorke (men's) will represent Cornwall in the England Champion of Champions event at Woodhall Spa this weekend after winning their respective county titles.
On a fine, warm day a small field of 19 players from five clubs took part in the Cornwall County Ladies' Golf Association's Division II Autumn Meeting, a Stableford competition, for players with handicaps from 21-36.
The course proved a challenge for most players, but Killiow's Indu Kumaravel despite three "blobs" scored a remarkable 36 points to win the Handicap Cup.
The Aggregate Cup for the best scores from the Spring and Autumn meetings was won by Killiow's Mechelle Guy, who also had the only gross two of the day, winning 24 balls.
The final of the ladies' Gammon Trophy scratch knock out takes place at Trevose on Sunday, when Perranporth take on St Enodoc.
