4 hurt, 200 evacuated after natural gas plant fire
Plymouth, Wash. • Authorities now say one of the four injured in an explosion and fire at a natural gas processing plant along the Washington-Oregon border was sent to a hospital in Portland, Ore., with burns.
The other three were treated for minor injuries at a hospital in Hermiston, Ore.
Monday morning's blast at the Williams Northwest Pipeline liquefied natural gas facility in the town of Plymouth, Wash., shook nearby homes and led to the evacuation of about 400 residents.
A deputy says the evacuation could last overnight.
Benton County, Wash., Sheriff Steven Keane says plans call for sending up a helicopter for a better look at the damage to the plant.
Keane says a Washington State Patrol bomb squad robot equipped with video also will be sent in, because of safety concerns.
The 8:20 a.m. blast at the Williams Northwest Pipeline plant in the town of Plymouth, along the Columbia River, also punctured a liquefied natural gas storage tank.
Across the Columbia River, the blast shook the home of Cindi Stefani.
"It was just a very loud boom," she said. "I looked across the river and saw a giant mushroom cloud and flames at least a couple hundred feet high."
Animals on neighboring farms were running around, she added.
"At that point we were pretty scared. I was thinking, 'We need to get out of here."
Deputies went door to door throughout the town of Plymouth evacuating about 200 residents in a 2-mile radius.
Buses were provided for those without cars, and a shelter was set up across the river in Oregon at the Umatilla County Fairgrounds. As part of the evacuation, Highway 14 and railroad tracks were shut down.
The liquefied natural gas tank has a capacity of 1.2 billion cubic feet, but it was not full, and only a relatively small amount of gas leaked from the rupture and spilled to the ground in a containment area, the sheriff said.
The fire was later extinguished.
"I think they are working on the concern that the gas that spilled out into the containment area is not going to be a threat to ignite in case there is a spark or something," Keane said.
A Williams spokeswoman in Salt Lake City knew of only one employee injured. That worker is expected to recover from burns, said spokeswoman Michele Swaner. All 17 or 18 company employees were evacuated and accounted for, she said.
Swaner said it was too early to determine the extent of the damage or the cause of the explosion.

An ingenious little amp, sure to delight with its warm, bluesy tone and assertive mids.
The ENGL GigMaster 30 tube guitar amp head is a compact tube-driven amp that delivers to-die-for tone in a phenomenally portable package!

jyoti singh pandey Rape Case 6th Accused Declared Minor, Delhi Gang-rape victim's kin appalled as 6th accused declared minor. jyoti singh pandey Pics
|Jyoti singh pandey Pic
The family of the Delhi gang-rape victim expressed shock on Monday and termed the juvenile justice board's (JJB) decision of ruling the sixth accused in the case as minor as "unfortunate" and said that they would challenge it in the court.
"The family would consult legal experts and challenge the matter in the relevant court," the brother of the girl told over phone from Delhi.
"The family is not ready to accept that the sixth accused get anything less than death penalty," the brother said, adding that the minor accused should also get the same punishment of death penalty for which the central government should make necessary changes in the law.
"How can the family accept that the main accused is let off with a mere three year imprisonment," he asked.
On the decision of the juvenile board, the brother said that it is based on his school documents whereas he should have been sent for medical examination.
He expressed apprehension of some kind of "fraud" in mentioning the date of birth in school documents and alleged that the minor accused was the one who had played the main role in the incident.
Earlier on Monday, the sixth accused in the case was declared by the JJB in Delhi as a "minor", which would enable him to walk free by June 4, this year when he attains the age of 18 years.
The accused, who was described as the most brutal of the six accused by the Delhi Police in its charge sheet, was declared as 17 years and six months and 24 days-old (as of today) by the JJB, which relied on his birth certificate and school documents produced before it.
Section 15 (g) of the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act mandates that a juvenile aged between 16-18 years if convicted of any offence can be sentenced to be sent to a special home for a period of three years at the maximum, and, thereafter, be released on probation.
However, section 16 of the Act also provides that a juvenile can only be kept at the special home till he attains 18 years of age and he cannot be sent to jail thereafter, which in effect will result in his release.
The JJB also rejected the police's plea for bone ossification test of the sixth accused for determining his age.
Lawyers appearing for the prosecution said they appeal against the JJB order in a higher court.
Earlier on January 15, the principal of the school, from where the juvenile had droppoed out, had submitted before the JJB that as per the school records he is 17 years and six months-old. Source

Clarins Rosewood Rouge Prodige Lipstick Review, Photos, Swatches
Clarins Rosewood Rouge Prodige Lipstick
Clarins Rosewood Rouge Prodige Lipstick ($24.00 for 0.10 oz.) is a rosy nude with a glistening shine. This is my kind of nude–it doesn't wash you out or make you look like a corpse. It's soft and muted, the way a good nude should be, but it still brightens up the face. This is the kind of shade that works well for everyday or paired with a heavier eye/cheek look. I find it more neutral-cool, which makes it a very wearable shade.
It does have that shiny, glossy finish the description boasts, and it doesn't feel like the traditional long-wearing lipstick does. There is nothing drying about it when you apply it, because it applies like a thin gloss or a gloss/lipstick hybrid. The color pay off is excellent, though, and really delivers opaque color with a lightweight feel. It doesn't transfer much when drinking from a glass, but for whatever reason, it just doesn't extend past four hours.
The Rouge Prodige is a comfortable lipstick to wear, because it doesn't cling or dry lips out (but while it has a glossy feel when applied, I do not find it moisturizing). There is a faint sweetened berry scent that is detectable but not overpowering (and doesn't read synthetic or syrupy sweet), and there was no noticeable taste.
If you want to know more about how products are evaluated, read out Rating System FAQ!
- Product: 26/30
- Value: 8/10
- Ease of Use: 4/5
- Packaging: 4/5
RECOMMENDATION: I always welcome a new line with opaque lip color (because it's easier to sheer out an opaque color than it is to build up the color of a sheer shade!), and Rouge Prodige is a nice lipstick overall–it just falls short of its long-wearing claims for me. If it didn't have that claim, I would have given it a higher score.

Really tempted with green hoods and green bar-tape, we shall see... trying my best not to upgrade parts just for the sake of it but when they wear out/break I'll get the porn parts on order.
Swapped the front wheel for another one I had and went for a ride, much happier with it this time round and managed to clock just under 40 miles. Spent some time tinkering with fit and it's almost spot on. Bars could do with going down a little. Don't think I'll be slamming the stem, certainly much lower than it is. Have to say I'm super happy with going second hand or used parts of my own on this build. I'm not hard on my bikes but it certainly feels nice to have something I can just 'ride'.
Thanks, Georgel. Were you on a black fixed bike riding the other way?
I've sorted the problem with the rear mech. I looked it over just to see that everything looked ok, gave it a prod and everything was fine, also thought I'd try my luck giving it a good old shake just to see if anything was broken or loose, couldn't believe my luck/stupidity to find a valve cap fall out... It was a schrader valve which I don't own any of, probably fell in sometime in the workshop or from the previous owner, ha. Gears working perfectly now, still needs new hoods but overall feeling a little happier.
On my way back from a ride just under a hour ago going down a fairly steep hill, hit the anchors at the bottom and the front wheel locks up momentarily then spins and does it again - at 30mph. I stop to find a spoke missing and all the other spokes loose. Absolutely no idea how I didn't go over the bars, rear wheel must have been a foot of the ground before I threw my weight back. The wheel was so out of true I had to push the bike back home because it didn't even clear the pads with the brake open!
Kind of annoyed at this point I go back into Paypal where I've already opened a case as the seller said they'd sent me the correct wheels to find this..
Here's what they said I emailed them:
From Seller – 翁 成光01/08/2014 03:03 BST
It is buyer's fault,pls check the record as follows from buyer before order,he ordered campagnolo body before payment
Ok how do I pay?
I need:
. 50mm clincher
. black hubs and nipples
. Campagnolo fitment
What I actually emailed:
From Buyer – No Quarter Bikes01/08/2014 12:10 BST
2nd payment
Hi, second part of payment for; 50mm CLINCHER carbon black hubs + nipples SRAM freehub Ship to; (my address, edited out)
Funding type:
Instant Bank Transfer
Pretty pissed they've sent me the wrong wheels, called me a liar and nearly get shot off my bike...
I've just sent Paypal a print screen of the payment I made to them with the comments, hopefully this should sort it.

Horace, the third eldest son was an artist and in 1891 married his tutor Ann Dobson. In 1892 they moved to Australia where she died in 1901. Horace moved between Australia and New Zealand, before making the journey to England in 1912. At the outbreak of war he joined the NZ Expeditionary force as a sapper and saw service at Gallipoli. His notes and etchings were to become the basis of an outstanding series of pictures which were later bought by the Australian Government for £1500. Most famous was his "Simpson and the Donkey" series. He was wounded and eventually repatriated to New Zealand. In 1822 his life was cut short when he died from burns suffered whilst trying to rescue people from a burning hotel in Hamilton NZ.
In 1912 Horace made the long journey to England to study at the Slade School of Fine Art, based at University College, London. This was and still is a prestige establishment and has produced some of the most recognized names in British and European 20th century art, like: Wyndham LEWIS, Paul NASH, Stanley SPENCER and Edward WADSWORTH.
In addition to his studies at the Slade, he also worked as an illustrator for Pearson's Magazine, a monthly publication covering literature and the arts. But in 1914 when war was declared he decided to join the New Zealand Expeditionary Force and fight for the Commonwealth. He was however 46 and too old. Not to be outdone, he cut and dyed his hair and moustache to make himself look younger. He then successfully enlisted along with some 250 other New Zealanders who were either residing in or visiting Britain.
The members of the force were duly sworn in by the High Commissioner for New Zealand, the Hon T Mackenzie, in the Westminster Palace Hotel and went into camp at Bulford, Salisbury Plains, for training. The officer in command of the contingent is Captain F H LAMPEN, formerly officer commanding the Marlborough military district. The contingent were then transported to Egypt to join the main body of the NZ expeditionary force which had encamped at Cairo.
Horace Jones was born probably in 1867 or 1868 at Malvern Wells, Worcestershire, England, the third of 10 children of Sarah Ann Garner, a schoolteacher, and her husband, David Jones, an engineer. He arrived in Auckland, New Zealand, with his family probably in 1885. After studying art under Anne Dobson, a portrait painter and sculptor, he married her in Auckland on 5 September 1891. The couple then moved to Sydney, Australia, where Anne died on 7 June 1901. There were at least three children of the marriage.
From 1892 to 1905 Horace Jones exhibited with the Art Society of New South Wales. About this time he changed his name to Horace Millichamp Moore-Jones and painted what may be his first war subject. He presented this oil painting, 'The departure of the Ninth Contingent from New Zealand for the South African War', to the Auckland Art Gallery in 1902. On 29 November 1905 he married Florence Emma Mitchell at Bellambi, New South Wales. They were to have two daughters and a son. About 1908 he returned with his family to Auckland. There he taught privately and at the Ladies' College, Remuera, where his mother was principal, and exhibited with the Auckland Society of Arts. About 1912 he travelled to London, enrolled at the Slade School of Fine Art, and joined Pearson's Magazine as a staff artist.
In 1914, at the age of about 46, Moore-Jones enlisted in the British Section of the New Zealand Expeditionary Force. To gain acceptance he shaved off his moustache, cropped his hair and lied about his age. Before joining the main body of the force in Egypt on Christmas Eve 1914 he trained on Salisbury Plain, and after being posted to the 1st Field Company of Engineers participated in the allied landing at Anzac Cove on the Gallipoli peninsula in April 1915. He was subsequently attached to Lieutenant General Sir William Birdwood's ANZAC Printing Section to make topographical pencil and watercolour sketches of the landscape and plans of allied and Turkish positions. His sketches of the harsh terrain, made under hazardous conditions, were an invaluable aid for planning operations and defence, and were used to illustrate official dispatches. He also made informal picturesque studies of the landscape around Imbros (Gökçeada). Known as 'Sapper Moore-Jones', he chose to remain in the ranks and offered comfort to the sick and wounded while working as a field artist. On being offered the possibility of a commission by a staff officer, he reputedly replied, 'Imagine an old chap like me trying to be a lieutenant.'
In November 1915 he received a wound in his right hand which put a temporary end to his work. His health deteriorated and he was invalided to Britain suffering from exhaustion. After recuperating at the 1st Southern General Hospital, Birmingham, he made further watercolours based on his Gallipoli studies. An exhibition of these was held at New Zealand House from 11 to 24 April 1916 and shown by command at Buckingham Palace. It received a good deal of public approval, and reproductions of his sketches were made in 1916.
In 1916 Moore-Jones was classified unfit for battle duty and repatriated to New Zealand. He settled in Auckland where he undertook portrait commissions and private teaching. His Gallipoli watercolours were shown in Auckland and later toured New Zealand. Thousands attended the exhibitions and heard his talks about the Gallipoli campaign. The sketches provided images of the war through which those at home could feel closer to those involved. Many prints were made and sold to the public and Moore-Jones offered to paint similar scenes on commission. While in Dunedin with the exhibition he painted the first of his watercolours of 'The man with the donkey'. About 1918 he was appointed to teach art at Hamilton High School, to which he travelled from Auckland each week.
On 3 April 1922 the Hamilton Hotel where Moore-Jones was staying caught fire at four o'clock in the morning. Although he escaped without difficulty, he returned to the building to rescue others who were trapped there. Observers said that he displayed the 'greatest heroism', and that 'his gallantry was responsible for many being saved'. Later that day Horace Moore-Jones died at Waikato Hospital, Hamilton, from shock following extensive burns. He was survived by his wife, Florence.
Moore-Jones was tall and well-built with aquiline features. He possessed an engaging personality and an original turn of mind. New Zealand's best-known war artist from the period, he won high acclaim in Britain and New Zealand for his Gallipoli sketches, which are now a vital part of the art collection of the Australian War Memorial, Canberra. In New Zealand his work is represented in the Auckland City Art Gallery, the Hocken Library, the Waikato Art Museum and in several other New Zealand collections.

Auditions: Miami
After a disappointing day in Omaha, the American Idol judges headed to Miami, where the warm weather seemed to ratchet up the energy and give Idol some of the juice it has been lacking. Simon was the real star of last night's auditions, delivering some of the choicest, strangest, and cruelest rejections we?ve heard all season, a welcome return to form for the curmudgeonly Brit.
Let?s review, shall we, the destruction:
?It sounds like you?re eating when you sing?: Poor, cute Shannon McGough, an 18-year-old butcher who can out-belch any frat boy, couldn?t impress the judges with her enormous, growling, but ultimately melody-free version of Janis Joplin?s ?Crybaby.? ?You may almost be tone deaf,? added Randy.
?I would like you if I was drunk?: Swarthy Latin lover Ghaleb Emachah, a Miamian by way of Venezuela, serenaded the judges with ?Comfort Me,? in which he promised, over and over, that he is not afraid to love. Simon, apparently hungover, deemed him a post-Margarita singer, but Paula swooned and he was sent on to Hollywood, kissing Paula, Idol producers, tech guys, camera crews, and even Ryan Seacrest on his way out.
?You became more attractive?: Hardscrabble Suzanne Toon, a torchy blonde with a crown of unflattering ringlets, wants to be the American Idol to give her daughter more than she had. Her ?I Can?t Make You Love Me,? was pretty faithful, and Simon declared that she looks better singing than not singing. A backhanded compliment at best, but she was sent on to Hollywood where she?ll continue to sing — and, presumably, look good.
?You?re more like a hotel singer?: Bite-size Ramiele Malubay, a diminutive Filipina, wants to be the first Asian-American Idol. Her ?Natural Woman? was a bold choice, and she almost pulled it off, but Simon found her stylings more fit for the Marriott than for Idol. Her dreams were salvaged, however, when Paula and Randy were wowed and sent her on to Hollywood.
?I thought it was all a bit of an effort?: Syesha Mercado has boundless energy, a megawatt smile and a recovering addict father. Continuing the day?s Aretha trend, the 20-year-old performed ?Think Freedom? which reduced Paula to a single word: ?beautiful.? Simon, never content to let a candidate off the hook too easily, proclaimed it forced, but she was sent to Hollywood with the support of all three judges anyway, and Randy?s benediction: ?one of the best we?ve seen in Florida."
?I?m tempted to say come back in a dress?: A great Simon one-liner almost thrown away on trilling, faux-Mariah-styled Grant Rhea, who looked totally shell-shocked. Stay tuned next season to see if he does, in fact, come back in a dress.
?Why did you have your finger in your ear throughout? Tempted to put both in, no??: Another great line, another non-contender. Fabienne Hyppolite performed a wailing, stumbling, tuneless number this judge-at-home could not identify from its garbled lyrics, all with one finger pressed deep into her ear canal. Simon was right — why stop at just one?
?Have you ever been called precocious??: A heartbreaking moment for a young Idol-maybe-to-be, 16-year-old Julie Dubela, who the devout may recognize from her career as a 12-year-old American Junior. Her overacted, purple performance of Janis Joplin?s ?Me and Bobby McGee? won the disapproval of all, with Simon declaring it over-rehearsed and weird. ?Have you ever been called precocious?? he wanted to know. Julie could not have been a more perfect straight woman for Simon?s barb: ?What?s that?? she inquired sweetly, and was shipped home.
?He?s gonna take his clothes off?: Brandon Black exploded into the judges? room with a faux-dialogue between himself and any number of characters — one wearing a wig — that he created for the occasion. An uncomfortable mix of James Brown, Flavor Flav and a schizophrenic, the 20-year-old finally calmed the voices within to sing a flat version of Boyz II Men?s ?I?ll Make Love to You? that impressed no one. Finding the judges displeased with Boyz II Men, he launched into an original composition entitled, hopefully, ?I Am the Next American Idol.? Simon feared that the next step in his act would be stripping, and stepped in before things could escalate. Even Paula, who can typically be counted on to support anything in pants, had to declare, ?This is uncomfortable.?
Of course, miracles are possibly, and every so often, when the stars align, Simon is stunned speechless — sometimes actually by talent! Such was the case with ?separated at birth? best friends Corliss Smith and Brittany Wescott from Jacksonville, FL, two enormous young women with huge voices to match. Corliss has taken a shine to Randy, and Brittany to Simon, so as Paula flirted and flirted for attention between the boys, Corliss did an excellent jazz number and Brittany a straight-outta-Motown ?My Guy.? There wasn't a cruel word from Simon for either, and both were sent on to Hollywood, proving, in effect, that miracles still happen for the deserving — even on Idol.
So concludes another grueling week of auditions. America isn?t through yet: Join us next week for Atlanta, where tens of thousands more will embarrass themselves, their families, and their friends for the chance to be told off by Simon.
– Matthew Schneier

Below is the poem entitled My Black Barbie BeeBee which was written by poet
Kamau. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Virginia Kamau
When I was young,
My mum bought me a black barbie doll,
I wanted a white one,
I cried and tried,
to convince her to buy me a white one,
all in vain.
she gave me no reason,
and it remained like that.
I never used to take care of Barbie,
Never used to comb her hair,
Or dress her up,
until one day,
When I looked at her skin,
it was like mine,
her hair,
it was like mine,
she was beautiful,
she was like me,
black in all aspects,
she had brown eyes,
red lips and was curvacious too,
I realised how beautiful she was
and named her BEEBEE,
I started dressing her up,
combing her hair,
and marvelling at her beautiful black skin,
I once heard that,
The darker the berry,
the sweeter is is,
I kept her away from too much sun,
too much rain,
I took care of her,
I was so afraid,
She would start fading
and become white or light brown,
she would no longer be beautiful,
she would lose her originality,
she looked so like me,
but I was prettier
my skin was darker,
more rich,
more beautiful.
If she could hear,
I wanted to boast,
of how I was more curvacious,
My skin was much richer,
my eyes were bright brown,
I wanted to boast how,
I can work most night and day,
Multitask and still find time to play,
I wanted to boast of how
I can speak my mother toungue
I can sing and dance,
I can dream and accomplish.
I wanted to boast aboutall this,
but she couldnt hear,
she was just but a plastic doll,
A beautiful black plastic barbie doll,
Her name was BEEBEE
I'm grown now,
I'm woman now,
I see now,
What mama tried to teach me in silence,
Why she refused to buy me,
the white barbie,
it taught me much,
am so in-love with myself now,
because I related with BEEBEE back then,
learnt my worth,
realised my beauty,
inside and outside,
I bet they were talking about me when they said,
the darker the berry,
the sweeter it is.

text: Gave this driver a spin back in Dec (with my shiny new pvr-350), it didn't work due to an unkown tuner type. So I thought to my self, "Self, lets give linux and mythtv a go... is supposed to work relatively easily"... ya right! It got to the point where I was wondering around the house muttering "Nasty, nasty linuxes. Hates them we do, hmmm, precious?" :-) So, I'm back to the freebsd driver. A quick hack job to make it recognise the tuner (wild ass guess as to the type) and it bombs on unknown audio decoder (BTW, both of these errors cause a panic... not nice). So I fix that, well, actually I removed the check "honest, you know what it is". And, low and behold, I'm capturing video... and sound.... and it plays in mplayer.... looking good... but (you knew there had to be one) the driver hangs after a while, a while being => 30 minutes. Which, by the way, is better then linux ever did. The best I got out of linux was 15 minutes. If I noticed the hang and interupted the capture, I would get cxm0: missing encoder EOS encoder dma already in progress if I left it running I would get cxm0: timeout The linux ivtv driver has problems with some Hauppauge cards and dma and it looks like the FreeBSD driver has inherited them. At this point, I'm open to suggestions. I'm debating between starting to debug the driver or porting it to CURRENT. I would rather have this driver working on CURRENT, since I have made my desktop (where I have the card) boot CURRENT by default but I'm not sure how much interest other FreeBSDers have in this... I personally would love to see something like MythTV running on FreeBSD, but I'm not able to carry it on my own. I guess I'm asking the same thing John did when he posted his driver... are there others who want to help out or am I on my own? -stacy

Die Gerichtsstand-Dreifaltigkeit der ausschließlichen Zuständigkeit für Kapitalanlegerklagen nach § 32b ZPO (The Trinity of Exclusive Jurisdiction for Investor Claims under Section 32b of the German Code of Civil Procedure)
This Article evaluates the practical relevance, judicial treatment and legislative success of the recently established exclusive jurisdiction for investor claims to offer recommendations for direly needed reform.
In late 2005, Germany enacted a new framework of exclusive jurisdiction for investor claims, codified in section 32b of the German Code of Civil Procedure. Since its inception, the law has triggered controversial reactions among scholars of corporate and securities law. Mindful of section 32b's experimental character, the legislative originally included a five-year sunset provision. As the sunset term approaches its end, this Article offers a critical review and suggestions for reform of the newly created jurisdictional framework for investor claims.
A careful survey of more than two dozen appellate and supreme court decisions yields valuable insights into the enormous practical relevance of section 32b and its interpretation and application by the judiciary. I juxtapose this jurisprudence with the legislative's intent of channeling and concentrating litigation in a single forum to strengthen investor rights, conserve court resources, and to facilitate supervision of capital markets following the U.S. private attorney general model. The Article acknowledges the judiciary's overall success in shaping the scope of the new jurisdictional regime but criticizes inconsistencies in its handling and application as a cause of considerable legal uncertainty and a threat to the legislative's goals. In particular, the relationship between the trinity of jurisdictional minimum contacts demands clarification. To this end, I offer recommendations for amendment of section 32b to carve out its international scope and clarify its domestic application.

The IEEEtran BibTeX style is used to produce IEEE style bibliographies. It supports advanced entry types including URLs, patents, periodicals and standards. There are also IEEEtran.bst-based variants (e.g., IEEEtranS.bst, IEEEtranSA.bst, IEEEtranN, etc.) that provide for sorted bibliographies, alpha labels and/or compatibility with Patrick W. Daly's natbib package.
The most recent version of IEEEtran.bst is v1.13, which was released on September 30, 2008.
Version 1.13 has a number of changes over the previous release (v1.12):
@STRING{IEEE_J_BCAS = "{IEEE} Transactions on Biomedical Circuits and Systems"}
@STRING{IEEE_J_H = "{IEEE} Transactions on Haptics"}
@STRING{IEEE_J_LT = "{IEEE} Transactions on Learning Technologies"}
@STRING{IEEE_J_NSM = "{IEEE} Transactions on Network and Service Management"}
@STRING{IEEE_J_SC = "{IEEE} Transactions on Services Computing"}
@STRING{IEEE_J_STSP = "{IEEE} Journal of Selected Topics in Signal Processing"}
@STRING{IEEE_J_SYST = "{IEEE} Systems Journal"}
@STRING{IEEE_J_STARS = "{IEEE} Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing"}
@STRING{IEEE_J_RBME = "{IEEE} Reviews in Biomedical Engineering"}
@STRING{IEEE_M_IE = "{IEEE} Industrial Electronics Magazine"}
@STRING{IEEE_M_ITS = "{IEEE} Intelligent Transportation Systems Magazine"}
@STRING{IEEE_M_NANO = "{IEEE} Nanotechnology Magazine"}
Please note that the following abbreviated definitions have been disabled in IEEEabrv.bib until the correct abbreviations can be verified with an actual example:
STRING{IEEE_J_LT = "{IEEE} Trans. Learning Technol."}
STRING{IEEE_J_NSM = "{IEEE} Trans. Netw. Service Manag."}
STRING{IEEE_J_SC = "{IEEE} Trans. Services Comput."}
STRING{IEEE_J_STARS = "{IEEE} J. Sel. Topics Appl. Earth Observations Remote Sens."}
If you know of an example (or, preferably, more than one) of an IEEE journal article reference entry showing the correct abbreviation of any of the above disabled string definitions, let me know and I'll correct it in the next release.
There are two primary distribution sites for the IEEEtran BibTeX package:
These are technical reports:
Note that some journals do not abbreviate the task group name.
(e.g., "TGe" versus "Task Group E")
Thanks to Guido Hiertz for contributing to this answer.
author = "S. Kandala",
title = "Changes to {A}nnex {D}",
institution = "{IEEE} 802.11 {TGe}",
number = "02/680r0",
month = oct,
year = "2002"
Yes, but you have to use my mciteplus package rather than mcite.sty. The IEEEtran.bst mciteplus variants are included in the mciteplus package files.
The % signs are a side effect of BibTeX's line breaking algorithm where BibTeX uses % to prevent line breaks from being seen as spaces. Unfortunately, if the line break occurs within a URL, it is all too easy for a \url{} command to mistake them as being part of the URL. Recent versions of url.sty (versions 1.6 and later) and hyperref.sty (versions after 6.70s) will properly ignore % characters when they occur just before the end of a line. Upgrading your url.sty and/or hyperref.sty packages will correct the problem.
The overwhelming consensus among TeX gurus is not to escape these special characters, but to enter them as-is in conjunction with an external URL package such as url.sty or hyperref.sty. Note that it is not safe to escape characters (e.g., \_) and use a URL handling package because the \url command of the url.sty and hyperref.sty packages will retain the (unwanted) backslash in the formatted URL.
You can change the BibTeX name format string during run time using an IEEEtran.bst control entry type in your .bib file:
CTLname_format_string = "{ff~}{vv~}{ll}{, jj}"
and then invoking it via \bstctlcite:
The definition of \bstctlcite can be found in the comments of at the top of the IEEEtran.bst source code as well as here:
\if@filesw\immediate\write\csname #1\endcsname{\string\citation{\@citeb}}\fi}%
The IEEEtrantools package also provides the \bstctlcite command.
Surprisingly, this is correct. The IEEE "dashes" repeated names in their bibliographies. As explained in the HOWTO, this feature can be disabled via the control entry type:
CTLdash_repeated_names = "no"
IEEE changed their abbreviations in early 2005. For example, month abbreviations are all now strictly three letters (e.g., "Sep." instead of the previous "Sept."). Furthermore, there has been changes in the journal name abbreviations (e.g., "Netw." instead of "Networking"). The IEEEtran.bst and IEEEabrv.bib files have been updated to reflect the new conventions.
At present, IEEEtran.bst does not output \newblock commands which are needed for an "open bibliography" format. Adding this functionality is not difficult. However, it does pose the question as to what is meant by an "IEEE style open bibliography", including how to properly place the IEEEtran.bst additional fields (e.g., URLs, etc.) under such a format. Needless to say, an open bibliography could not be used for IEEE related work.
Here are some other IEEEtran-based variants that I have created. Because these have not been as fully tested as the bibstyles in the main IEEEtran branch, or because I do not have full specs to my satisfaction for the journals in question, unless otherwise noted, consider them to be beta test releases and watch out for bugs. Note that the .bst files here do use Unix end-of-line conventions (as I use Linux), so you may have to convert them with a text editor, especially when using them on Mac systems.
Note that just because a bibstyle supports a given entry type does not mean that the corresponding journal does. i.e., just because the bibstyle allows you to do something, does not mean that it is correct. Be sure to verify that the created bibliography meets the guidelines of the journal you plan to submit to. In some cases, an entry may have to be changed from that used in IEEE journals to be correct for the journal you are submitting to. For example, many journals do not support an online/electronic entry type. Of course, unless otherwise noted, the bibstyles here are not for use for IEEE-related work.
For journals of the American Scientific Publishers, try my IEEEtran_ASP.bst (version 1.13, released on 2008/09/30).
Be aware of the following issues and caveats:
The REVTeX and mciteplus compatible versions of IEEEtran.bst are distributed with my mciteplus package.
You can obtain support for the IEEEtran BibTeX style from:
In 1985, Howard Trickey wrote the first ieeetr.bst based on plain.bst. In 1988, Oren Patashnik updated ieeetr.bst for use with BibTeX version 0.99a. In 1993, Silvano Balemi along with Richard H. Roy developed a new IEEE.bst (sometimes referred to as IEEEbib.bst) based on unsort.bst.
In 2002, while a Ph.D. student at the Georgia Institute of Technology, I developed IEEEtran.bst. IEEEtran.bst is a complete rewrite and offers advanced features including entry types for internet pages, patents, periodicals and standards.

TCU/UT-Pan American Game Notes
Lobo Volleyball - On the road in Texas
Who: Lobos at TCU
When/Where: 6 p.m., Friday - Fort Worth, Texas
Who: Lobos at UT-Pan American
When/Where: 1 p.m., Sunday - Edinburg, Texas
GoLobos.com: Game Story, Stats, Quotes, GameTracker (for Air Force)
Against TCU (8-7) ... The Lobos are 8-7 all-time against TCU. UNM lost to TCU, 3-1, earlier this season on Sept. 23 at Johnson Center. Last season, the two teams split matches, as each school swept the other at their respective home gyms.
Against UT-Pan American (1-0) ... The Lobos are 1-0 all-time against UT-Pan American. The only time the two schools met was on Sept. 14, 2002. The Lobos swept UT-Pan American, 3-0, in that match.
- Ashley Rhoades set a new career high in both kills (31) and points (36) in UNM's 3-1 conference victory over Boise State on Oct. 1.
- Senior libero Allison Buck has moved into the top three on the UNM all-time digs list, having recorded 363 digs thus far in her final season as a Lobo. She has 1,432 digs overall. Buck set a new career high in digs with 36 in UNM's victory over Delaware on Sept. 17.
- Rhoades and Buck have each been named to four different all-tournament teams this season. The MCM Elegante Classic, the Comcast/Sheraton Lobo Invitational, the Fiesta Bowl Classic and the Pitt Blue and Gold Classic.
About New Mexico (10-9, 3-4 MW) ... The Lobos' record is 10-9 after suffering their third-straight loss. The losing streak comes after UNM had put together its most complete match of the season in a 3-0 victory over UNLV on Oct. 6. The Lobos are an inexperienced team still trying to find its identity, but have shown glimpses of brilliance throughout the season. It looked like the Lobos had turned the corner after beating UNLV, but the losses to SDSU, CSU and Wyoming are another setback for the team. At 3-4, UNM can still climb back into the thick of the conference, as the Lobos are one win away from matching the four wins third-place TCU and Wyoming have. Picking up a win this week against TCU will be vital for conference positioning.
Last season, the Lobos made it to the NCAA Tournament for the second season in a row. The Lobos hadn't made it to two consecutive postseasons since they did it in the 1993, `94 seasons, which happened to be the end of a five-year postseason run that spanned from 1990-94, and was subsequently the last time the Lobos were in the NCAA Tournament. With the appearance in 2009, the Lobos broke a drought of 14 years between trips to the national post-season. With last year's postseason berth, UNM now has nine trips to the NCAA Tournament (1981, `88, `90, `91, `92, `93, `94, `09, 2010)
About TCU (17-4, 4-3 MW) ... After getting off to a blazing hot start (16-1), the TCU Horned Frogs have shown they are indeed human. TCU proved conference play is a different animal, as the Horned Frogs have gone 4-3 thus far in the MW. Just like UNM, the Horned Frogs were swept, 3-0, by conference top-dog CSU. Offensively, TCU is paced by Kristen Hester who averages 3.44 kills per set and 4.02 points per set. Sarah Joeckel is also a fantastic libero. She leads the MW in overall digs with 5.37 per set.
About UT-Pan American (5-17, 1-4 GWC) ... The Broncos are currently 5-17 on the season and 1-4 in the Great West Conference. The Broncs are on a three-match losing streak heading into a match with Texas Southern Tuesday night. Offensively, the Broncos are paced by Ijanae Holman who averages 2.38 kills per set.
Blitz Krieg ... True freshman Elsa Krieg had a career day against Wyoming on Oct. 15. The 6-2 middle blocker compiled 15 kills and 16 points (each career highs) in UNM's loss to the Cowgirls. Krieg's career highs come just days after recording career highs in those categories against SDSU on Oct. 9. Krieg continues to improve each time out and looks like she will be an important player in UNM's near future.
Riddle Rising ... Redshirt freshman Chantale Riddle continues to evolve with every match that comes her way. The Roswell, N.M., native is currently second on the team in blocks (.63 ps) and third in points (158) and kills (1.86 ps). The future looks bright for Riddle. The experience she'll gain from playing this season will only continue to help her in her maturation process.
Rhoades Earns MW Player of the Week ... Rhoades led the Lobos to a 2-0 record during the week of Sept. 27-Oct. 2, 2011. She hit .500 (11 kills-1 error-19 attempts) in a 3-0 win at Air Force on Sept. 29, adding three blocks, a service ace and a dig on the evening. On Saturday, Oct. 1, Rhoades recorded a league-high 31 kills in a 3-1 win at Boise State. She also had eight blocks and two digs in the match.
Rhoades' 31 kills and 36 points are the most recorded by any MW player this season. The fact that she was able to put up those numbers in a conference match on the road is incredible.
Her 31 kills rank as the fourth-most ever recorded in a MW match, moving her ahead of CSU's Jaime Strauss who had 30 kills at BYU in 2007. It is also tied for the third most kills ever recorded in UNM history. Pauline Manser had 31 kills against San Jose State on Oct. 5, 1990.
Lobos in the Mountain West ... The Lobos currently rank second in overall digs (15.99) and opponent hitting percentage (.163) in the MW. In MW matches alone, the Lobos are second in digs per set (15.80) and opponent hitting percentage (.195) and are third in kills (13.64).
Killin' It ... Ashley Rhoades is currently second in the MW rankings for kills per set and points per set. She is averaging 3.96 KPS and 4.66 PPS in MW matches played so far in 2011. She set a career single-match high for kills with 31 against Boise State on Oct. 1.
Digging for Gold ... Allison Buck set a new career-high in digs with 36 in UNM's win over Delaware Sept. 17 at the Pitt Blue and Gold Classic. The senior currently leads the MW in digs per set during MW matches with 4.84.
Double-Double Animal Style ... Senior Kelly Williamson and sophomore Mariah Agre lead the Lobos this year in double doubles recorded. Agre is tops on the team with ten, while Williamson has six. The Lobos are 6-6 on the season when a player records a double double.
Homegrown Lobos ... Almost half of the 15 players on the UNM roster are local New Mexicans. Seven current Lobos played at high schools in the state of New Mexico. Ashley Rhoades, Chelsea McCampbell and Jayla Trombley all played at Rio Rancho HS, Chantale Riddle (Roswell HS), Jordan Russell (Moriarty HS), Ashley Newman (St. Pius X) and Miquella Lovato (Pojoaque HS).
Up Next: The Lobos host Boise State and Air Force in a pair of conference matches. Boise State rolls into Johnson Center for a 7 p.m. match on Oct. 27 and Air Force will take on the Lobos at 5 p.m. on Oct. 29.

By Marine Corps Gunnery Sgt. Amanda Simmons"The President's Own" U.S. Marine Band
WASHINGTON, April 12, 2013 Fifty years ago he joined the U.S. Marine Band, and this week legendary composer and arranger Sammy Nestico will return to the Washington, D.C., area for a concert celebrating his legacy as part of the Marine Band's Living History concert series.
At 2 p.m., Sunday, April 14, "The President's Own" will present "Simply Sammy," a concert featuring the music of the Grammy Award-winner Sammy Nestico, who also formerly worked as chief arranger for the Marine Band and arranger for Count Basie and Quincy Jones. The program will include music Nestico composed or arranged while he was a member of the Marine Band from 1963-68 and feature works for concert band, orchestra, and dance band.
"I've been wanting to do a Nestico concert for a number of years and thought this year would be perfect since we're celebrating our 215th anniversary," Marine Band Director Col. Michael J. Colburn said. "We've been highlighting various time periods and elements of Marine Band history, so I'm thrilled to revisit the 'Nestico era' as part of our 2013 showcase series."
Throughout the performance, each selection will be introduced by a video clip of Nestico offering background information on the piece. He'll share anecdotes about the 1940s swing era and his favorite memories as Marine Band arranger during President John F. Kennedy's administration.
Program highlights include a Stephen Foster medley; the love theme from Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov's "Scheherazade," Victor Herbert selections, a medley of Henry Mancini's popular hits and Jimmy Dorsey's fast-paced "Oodles of Noodles," featuring saxophone soloist Marine Corps Gunnery Sgt. Steven Longoria.
The concert will conclude with one of Nestico's timeless arrangements -- The Marines' Hymn, "Apotheosis." Nestico summed up the "Apotheosis," noting, "It's not only bold but it's also sad. It's glorious. It's beautiful."
Nestico wrote the arrangement at the request of then-assistant director Capt. Dale Harpham for the Marine Corps' birthday. A Marine brass ensemble premiered the piece at the National Cathedral here. During that performance, Nestico said, there was "not a dry eye in the house … because I give it my heart, a Marine's heart."
Nestico recalled: "I didn't want to be John Philip Sousa, I want to be Sammy. So always in my music I want to make it sound like the Marine Band but there's always a little bit of Sammy in there too. You put your own personality -- your heart is in there. … That's the whole idea of being an arranger."
By virtue of his arrangements and compositions, the name Sammy Nestico is familiar to concert band and jazz musicians around the world. And although his career with "The President's Own" lasted only five years, the legacy of his talent continues to grow.
Nestico has collaborated and arranged for songwriters such as Johnny Mercer, Barbra Streisand, Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, and Phil Collins. He has orchestrated for major film studios such as Warner Brothers, Paramount, MGM, and Columbia. He has written for the Count Basie Orchestra, Glenn Miller Orchestra and other bands in Hollywood, and he has more than 50 television credits, including "Gomer Pyle," "Hawaii Five-O," and "Charlie's Angels." Based on his experience with the Marine Band, Universal Studios hired him to compose marches.
20th Century Fox hired him to write for the TV show M.A.S.H.; if "Hawkeye" or "Radar" turned on the radio, viewers heard Nestico's big band arrangements in the 4077th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital, stationed in Uijeongbu, South Korea. But Nestico is most proud of his 600 works published in the education field and played in schools.
"Sammy Nestico is one of the most talented and successful composers and arrangers in the field of band, orchestra, and dance band music, and we are very fortunate to have had him as a member of the U.S. Marine Band back in the 1960s," said Marine Band Historian Master Gunnery Sgt. Michael Ressler. "In the years he was with us he created some of the most interesting, imaginative, and well-crafted arrangements in our repertoire. It will be a great celebration of one of the most talented musicians who ever wore our uniform."
Even after more than four decades away from the nation's capital, Sammy Nestico still has a special place in his heart for "The President's Own."
"The Marine Band is very, very important to me," he said. "I walked a little taller when I was in the Marine Band. I've always been very proud to say I was a member."
"Simply Sammy" is free and open to the public and will take place at the Rachel M. Schlesinger Concert Hall and Arts Center at Northern Virginia Community College, 3001 North Beauregard Street, Alexandria, Va. Parking is available in the adjacent garage for a $6 fee.
Before the concert there will be a string quintet pre-concert performance in the lobby. Following the performance, Nestico will greet patrons in the lobby.

Robert Sciasci
we sat silently on the porch
I was outta breath from running
children ran in those days
some of us would wait on the porch for the sky to stop
I was wearing a light blue jacket
you were on my arm
we watched the sun calculate its position
and the sound of the pretzel man returning
watching you on my arm watching me
digging up the bones of birds I buried last week
carrying my clipboard
of the newly planted trees
who's leaves were stars
I had markers, pens, pencils and chalk
all the time
I was so thin then
when the days of our lives would drag on
and the gravity of summers would destroy time passing

Product description
The Germans expected their airborne attack on Crete in 1941 - a unique event in the history of warfare - to be a textbook victory based on tactical surprise. They had no idea that the British, using Ultra intercepts, knew their plans and had laid a carefully-planned trap. It should have been the first German defeat of the war, but a fatal misunderstanding turned the battle round. Nor did the conflict end there. Ferocious Cretan freedom fighters mounted a heroic resistance, aided by a dramatic cast of British officers from Special Operations Executive.

Excellent! We tried Winsor Dim Sum while touring Boston and though we showed up around 3:00 pm the food was fresh and hot as could be. Everything we had was wonderful and I especially enjoyed the U-Choy with Oyster Sauce. It is a refreshing side dish. The value is good, especially in expensive Boston. We came on a Tuesday around 3 pm and it was not crowded at all.

We have been lovers of Dim Sum for years and Winsor is simply THE BEST!!!!! Fried Shrimp balls to die for!!!!!
Posted by Kim M. on 10/20/2008
My husband and I are real Dim Sum aficionados, frequenting Manhattan's chinatown often and having dim sum all over the globe along our various travels. On a whim we went across the street to the Winsor Dim Sum Café last Saturday and noticed how busy it was with locals. That was all we needed to see. We sat down and perused their Dim Sum menu and had some of the best dim sum we have ever had. It was so fresh and piping hot!!! The only downside is that they don't have the carts wheeling around (too small of a place for that). Our favorites were the Jade shrimp steamed dumplings with crab meat and the deep fried pork rolls! We also tried and really liked the rice cakes, steamed pork with peanuts dumplings and the crab dumpling in soup. We saw others having lo-mein (looked like Shanghai style) and scallion pancakes that looked perfectly done. The staff was more than helpful and there were a lot of servers available to answer menu questions. They would whisk away empty Dim Sum containers the moment they were emptied. We cannot wait to go back and try more!!!

On last night's program of the many compelling conversations we had it was our interview with State Representative Phil Cavanagh (D-Redford) that really turned me on my ear. The reason actually is quite simple; we had representative Cavanagh on the show to talk about restoring the very humane Earned Income Tax Credit to its 20% mark at the state level. For those of you that don't recall, Gov. Rick Snyder initially totally eliminated the EITC and only through intense negotiation was the governor convinced to allow a 6% credit to the lowest income earners who benefit greatly from that program. I'll come back to this in a moment.
But the comment that Rep. Cavanagh made that really got my attention was that during lame-duck while they were passing 236 bills, more legislation that they had passed in the last two years combined, he overheard two of his Republican colleagues remark that the revisions to the personal property tax was horrible legislation that would have to be revisited/revised in the new legislature but they passed it nonetheless because they were told to by their leadership, their Republican leadership that was what they were to do. No questions asked.
If that doesn't offend you, I don't know what will. Clearly, Republicans in the state of Michigan have lost total touch with reality as you may know. I have a difficult time reconciling that supposedly well-educated and well respected members of our legislature who had to fund and run competitive races to get elected in the first place can be so easily led by their pocketbooks and I would suggest mostly by people they have no relationship with no previous knowledge of. I'm not even suggesting that this is unique just to the Republican Party but since they are in control right now they get to wear the party hat that identifies them as clearly lacking in any kind of morals that represent the dignity and respect their constituents so richly deserve. But perhaps constituents is the wrong word, perhaps masters is more appropriate to what leads them to the asinine decisions that they make with regard to policy that clearly don't benefit the vast majority of the people who not just elected them but the people they serve. For you see, when you represent a District, no matter at what level of government, you represent all the people. Those that voted. Those that didn't.
It does make one wonder, doesn't it? How can they with any dignity or self-respect, let alone self-esteem, look at themselves in the mirror fully realizing that the vast majority of the things they vote on and the causes they supposedly like to champion have done anything to move the state forward or to protect the very people who are suffering and have been suffering for many years now. Sure, it's easy to point fingers and it's easier still to look at the past administration or even two administrations ago and say, see, we have to fix all that first before we can move forward. Unfortunately, the vast uninformed and uneducated voter willingly buys that line because it doesn't take any knowledge to take that bait. Oh sure, you can say that I'm just going for the low hanging fruit by blaming the voter but the reality is that happens to be true, as sad as that realization has.
But think for a moment about overhearing a conversation between two colleagues where you work with the same rights and responsibilities that you do, that are there for the same reasons you are, that make the same money you do, admitting, with a smile on their face, that they just agreed to something they don't agree with. Can you imagine?
The plethora of legislation that is offensive to the majority of us is a list so long and so daunting that to correct it, and I assure you they knew all of this going in, is nearly impossible. And then to add insult to injury, they used a procedural trick that bans the average voter from recourse with legislation that is not agreed with. By placing an appropriation, another way of saying money, on the legislation, bans the voter from redressing and addressing heinous legislation that drags us backward and does not represent the majority opinion of the state's citizens. Whether it's Right to Work, a woman's right to choose, same-sex health benefits, Oh, and I can fill another three or four pages of examples, the deliberate way in which this legislature has aborted democracy is not just offensive, it should be criminal.
But it is not!
Let's go back to the Earned Income Tax Credit. Factually, for every dollar that is given back to the low income earner, with children, the return on that investment is $1.67. Our governor purports to be a genius businessman so he should know that an almost 70% return on your investment is one hell of a good investment. But suddenly he becomes an amnesiac when we apply his business principles to something that benefits the most needy. I'll let you decide what that says not only about the governor but a legislature that allows this behavior to happen. So Representative Cavanagh has reintroduced the full benefit of the EITC and he'll be lucky, and I mean extremely fortunate, if he either finds a Republican cosponsor or Republican willing to allow this to even reach the committee structure. If somebody would like to explain the wisdom in that decision I'm open to hearing it but if you're going to tell me that there are some defensible and reasonable explanation to eliminate a program that helped the most needy and that somehow society benefits from it by eliminating it, well maybe I should start smoking what you are.
Yes, I get angry. Yes, I am frustrated. Yes, the next two years can go a couple different ways but it is up to us, you and I, the voter, the activist, this citizen, to not allow the next two years to be filled with intimidation or fear. If there was ever a time for you to flex your muscles, your intellectual muscles, that time is now.
The Republican Party, especially here in the state of Michigan, have become consummate bullies. They serve their corporate masters laying on their backs like a common Hooker who just needs to turn one more trick to make sure her pimp doesn't beat her. I hate to be so graphic but I couldn't think of a better analogy. There's no room for morality and the Republican Party in Michigan, and like a common prostitute they break the law thinking they'll deal with it if they're confronted. Their pimp, in this case our governor, does protect them if they don't pay their fee and they act as if there is space between them, the legislature, and he, the governor, that somehow ideologically they are really not that close, it's a great way to create cover for their pimp and at the same time score with their tricks, i.e. DeVos's, and the Koch brothers.
Haste does make waste. It just happens to be that we live at a time when sleight-of-hand has become more virtuous than the truth. Compromise has become a laughingstock and progress is only a word to only be found in the dictionary. The only way that we will be able to rectify this is by being tenacious in the way we recruit candidates for office and our ability to offer our own money and our own time to get them elected. This is not an original idea but it is a concept you better embrace because if we do not and cannot turn the tide in 2014 than all we will really ever have in this state are memories of a time long past. I cannot live with that, and I'm hoping you cannot either.

Luckily I've got an adventurous gene, as life in a wheelchair is full of unexpected adventure. I was a keen runner, climber and all round outdoor addict, but fell off a cliff and became paralysed from the chest down. There begins the opening chapter of my book 'If You Fall…' and the beginning of an extraordinary new life.
Just the night before my accident, I said I would rather die than be paralysed, but little did I know what lay ahead. Instead I found fortune in my misfortune, inspiration from people in similar and more challenging situations all around me, and began pursuing alternative ways to access the outdoors. Not being able to move or feel anything below my chest level has of course been a challenge, but I've come to learn that nothing is impossible if we set our mind and our efforts to it.
I've had to challenge my own physical and mental barriers, completing many trips that others, including myself, believed impossible; from marathons and triathlons, to kayaking, sit-skiing and hand-cycling in some of the most inhospitable places on the planet.
These trips have included a crossing of the Tien Shan and Karakoram mountains of Central Asia on a hand bike (1997 and raising £12,000 for charity), handcycling the length of the Japanese archipelago (2000), sea kayaking a 1200 mile length of the Canada – Alaska coastline (2003), crossing the Indian Himalaya by handcycle (2006) and skiing the Valle Blanche on a sit ski.
The most physically challenging adventure was a 600 kilometre traverse of the Greenland ice cap, a month long journey across one the world's last great expanses of wilderness. The winds can reach 200 miles per hour and temperatures drop below 40 degrees. I seriously doubted our chances of success, particularly as paralysis means you can't regulate your body temperature, yet with hard work, determination and a lot of support, it was a journey that became possible.
Climbing the kilometre high overhanging precipice of El Capitan, a giant granite rock face in Yosemite National Park, USA, was a huge mental challenge, overcoming my doubts about climbing and dread of heights, getting back on the ropes and working through the fear. 4000 pull ups felt easy in comparison to the mental obstacles. However, it was perfect preparation for what was to come next... making it to the London 2012 Paralympics in the sport of handcycling, as part of the British Cycling Team.
In my first race, the time trial (the race of truth) I gave it everything I had, completing the 16-kilometer course in 33:16.09, earning me a Silver medal behind Muffy Davis of the USA.
In my next event, the road race, I worked with fellow British team-mate Rachel Morris to stay with the main group for six laps of Brands Hatch, the competition dropping off with each lap. On the final lap, 40 seconds behind the American team who took Gold and Silver, we made one of the most controversial wins of the games, and instead of sprinting for they line, we crossed holding hands.
Apparently this isn't what you're supposed to do in a Paralympics and officials were thrown. Our times were identical but a photo finish gave Rachel third place as we weren't 'allowed' to share!
We had worked so hard together over the last few years we couldn't bear the thought of pipping each other to the line. It wasn't that one of us was stronger than the other, so we just thought 'let's do it, let's grab our hands at 50m and go and share the bronze'.
I'm now training again with the British Cycling team aiming for the Rio 2016 Paralympics.
Her story is not just one of the triumph of the human spirit, but of the 'spiritual'. It's 'spirit' that makes us what we are, 'spirit' that calls out to us in wilderness places" Sir Ranulph Fiennes

A beautifully designed interior goes beyond just delighting the eyes that see it; a beautifully designed interior touches and comforts the soul and brings joy into the heart. It makes one feel that most important of human emotions: feeling at home. Today's featured Contemporary Designer does more than just understand this fact about good interior design; she completely embodies it.
The opening line on Danielle Fox's website perfectly sums up what she's trying to do with her interior design practice: "Creating environments that embody beauty, creativity, order and self-expression-calming the mind and delighting the senses." These aren't just perfectly put together spaces where people can keep their stuff in; these are places where birthday parties happen, where intimate family dinners occur, where frenzied Christmas mornings take place. Taking one glance at her online portfolio and you see exactly what it is we're talking about.
Rooms are subtle, but full of life. They are simple, but not sparse by any means. Soft wall colors mingle with brightly colored accessories, and bold walls converse with neutral furnishings. Balance between the senses is key in her spaces. There's a definite "zen" feeling to her rooms, but you don't feel bored or tired in them, rather invigorated.
She definitely has a good handle on mixing and matching different styles to create authentic spaces. We wouldn't necessarily call them "eclectic" spaces; for some reason, that description makes us think of more busy or visually louder spaces. Her rooms just seem to "go" together well, without really trying that hard.
Danielle has a varied creative background: a PhD in Art History, a stint as a college-level art teacher, antique expert in London and even studied Business Management. All this experience has come in handy in this career change to interior design. In her own words:
"I am a serial renovator and obsessive organizer, so when I decided it was time for a career change, this seemed like a natural point of departure. This brings my multitude of passions under one roof, allowing me to combine my interest in creating beautiful environments with my management, communication and service skills."
