Harry's South Pole Heroes on ITV1 tonight sees Prince Harry embark on his expedition to the Antarctic with injured British soldiers for Walking with the Wounded South Pole Allied Challenge
Posted: March 23, 2014|
THE conclusion of Harry's South Pole Heroes will be shown on ITV1 tonight.
The three teams of wounded soldiers, representing the United Kingdom - with expedition patron Prince Harry - the United States and the Commonwealth face the challenge of racing more than 200 km across the harsh frozen wastes of the Antarctic Plateau.
In the very first hours, the extreme conditions start to take a severe toll on all the teams.
Over the next few days, wounded and non-wounded alike succumb to frostbite, altitude sickness and exhaustion. The race element is abandoned and what was a competition becomes a band of comrades, united in their determination to reach the South Pole together.

I write about energy and environmental issues. full bio →
Opinions expressed by Forbes Contributors are their own.
I am a Managing Partner at Brookside Strategies, LLC, an energy and utility management consulting firm based in Darien, Connecticut. I've spilled blood, sweat and tears grappling with the full spectrum of barriers and misconceptions about distributed generation and energy-efficiency technologies. Previously, I practiced law in New York City at Paul Weiss Rifkind Garrison & Wharton, LLP and Jenner & Block, LLP. I also attended journalism school at Columbia University and earned a JD at Stanford Law School. I've written about energy and environmental issues for Forbes, The Nation, Mother Jones and several other publications. I am the Chair of the Northeast Clean Heat and Power Initiative. Drop me a line - or two - at email@example.com William Pentland
The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
Great piece!
Some of this is just plain wrong:
No. 2 – Notebook computer
Off – Average Watts: 8.90
On – Average Watts: 29.48
Standby and sleep modes generally burn less than half of that 8.90 figure:
And a laptop that's OFF, ie – shutdown – consumes zero current, aside from the inefficiency of the charger. Your chart is correct that chargers basically consume the least "phantom power" of any device in question.
yes, you are misinterpreting the results they reached. If a laptop is off and you put it in your bag, how can it possibly be consuming any power?
You have to be very carefull when makeing such low power measurments.
The cheap plugin power monitors realy struggle to make accurate readings. Some of these appliances make a lot of distortion, this can cause them to read higher than what they actualy use.
The headline, which I understand you did not write, is misleading. "Energy HOG" means a big user of electricity, the biggest one on your list is less than one 60W light bulb. If it runs 24/7 for the entire month the tab is likely $5.
Real energy savings comes from controlling the big things, e.g. air conditioner, electric water heater, any electric room heaters, etc. It takes a lot of light bulbs to be the equal of one of these, and these examples often have long run times.
I agree with the article – there is a big opportunity in eliminating unnecessary electricity waste in each and every home. The key is having the right data to do something about it. Real time data.
Full disclosure I'm the CEO of the company that I'm about to reference….but…..
We just announced a partnership with a technology that can "parse" whole home energy data by reading the data signatures from the appliances and connected devices in the home. So no more guessing where waste is occuring or how much that fridge in the garage is using in electricity or how much my home can save by changing the temperature by 1 degree.
This isn't a tomorrow technology – this is live today with hardware available from retailers such as Lowes and Amazon.
I also disagree with @curmudgeon44 – research has shown that most homes can reduce overall usage by 10-15% through eliminating waste. I don't know about you but saving 10% off of my monthly electricity bill is a nice start.
For more information see www.bluelineinnovations.com
Why don't you do some stats on how many readers actually read all the pages of these asinine multi-page for no good reason articles. Slow connection makes it excruciating and I usually give up in disgust after 3 pages. Thanks Forbes, you suck!
I am an electrical engineer. This article is so horribly wrong and misleading that I think you should print an immediate retraction. You say "Am I misinterpreting the results they reached?" That answer is YES. It would appear that you may be a writer that does not have an actual background in this area. If you truly would like to create an accurate article I encourage you to do more research, withdraw this publication, and write another.
Although this study looked at standby power use, it is a horrible misinterpretation to say that make the leap that standby power use is the cause of "relentless" increase in power use/bills. The study was simply an analysis of standby power use, NOT an analysis of the biggest waters of electrical power, nor is it the cause of electrical use increases.
For instance, ALL of the power consumed by the "top ten" list in the article does not compare to the amount of energy wasted in just one or two incandescent light bulbs! And I will add that even though the devices you list consume power 24/7, it is incorrect to say that they are not being used 24/7/ The DVR for example cannot be unplugged or it cannot function.
As a result of this article, you are doing an incredible disservice because many people will read this misleading article and take inappropriate steps to curb energy use. Similar articles to this one have already had bad consequences.
As a great example, I was at my ex-wife's house last night, and she saw the tiny green glow of my phone charger that I had temporarily disconnected my phone from to make a call. She literally turned on her dining room light of three blazing 75 watt incandescent bulbs to see to unplug the charger that was using about a tenth of a watt, and then had the nerve to (incorrectly) chastise me for leaving it plugged in. Notwithstanding her personal long time ability to criticize using totally inaccurate information, she is not unlike most of the uninformed public.
So literally, in the one MINUTE she had that light on she wasted enough power as if that charger had been on for 35 HOURS.
The amount of power wasted by people using incandescent bulbs, stoves instead of microwave ovens, and old top loading washing machines just as an example is hundreds of thousands of times higher than the tiny amount of power used by the devices you list.
Do you now understand the error?
Feel free to contact me or any other electrical professional if you wish to create an excellent power saving article for public consumption.
You must be one of Forbes' infamous unpaid contributors or an intern. You did an atrocious, almost laughably bad job selecting images for your collection of photos. Many of the items you selected are just plain not what you say they are.
Examples: The DVD player isn't a DVD player, the furnace looks nothing like any central home furnace I've ever seen, the VCR is barely recognizable and isn't even a VHS or Beta format that anyone in the US would recognize, and the USB hub isn't even a USB hub at all: Its a multi-format flash card reader. If this kind of editorial sloppiness is what the Forbes brand is about these days — historically it was famous for its rigid attention to research and fact-checking — then its days truly are numbered. Either way you should not be doing this kind of work.

In my personal opinion, there is no other place that celebrates the holidays more grandly than Walt Disney World. Between the decorations, food, and parades, you truly feel like you are living with Santa on the North Pole! Plus, the events occurring during this time are spectacular!
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party: November 9 – December 21
Where: Magic Kingdom
Website: http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/parks/magic-kingdom/special-events/mickeys-very-merry-christmas-party
Every year, Mickey hosts a spectacular event celebrating all the joys of the Christmas Season! Activities include:
- Mickey's Once Upon A Christmas Parade – a Christmas-afied version of MK's famous parades!
- Holiday Wishes: Celebrate the Spirit of the Season – this is a revamped version of everyone's favorite firework display.
- Greetings and entertainment from your most beloved Disney characters
- Complimentary hot chocolate and cookies to munch on throughout your evening
Plus, guests can still enjoy their favorite rides at MK, Cinderella Castle gets a "Christmas makeover" with an amazing light display, and the talented Imagineers make the unbelievable happen: snow flurries in Florida!
It should be noted that this event is not included in the MK park ticket. Guests who want to attend this event must buy a separate ticket. Prices vary on age and date. And one last thing: I would definitely check out this event's website! There is a really fun interactive "storybook" that helps to show how wonderful Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party really is! Plus, be on the lookout for a little surprise at the end!
Holidays Around The World – Candlelight Processional: November 23 – December 30
Where: Epcot
Website: http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/parks/epcot/special-events/candlelight-processional
- This is event is located in the American Garden Theatre inside Epcot's World Showcase. The Candlelight Processional is the highlight of Epcot's Holidays Around the World, which showcases many of the world's fabulous and diverse holiday traditions. The Candlelight Processional tells the story of Christmas, with the help of a celebrity narrator, 50-piece orchestra, and choir. It has quickly become a favorite of WDW guests and is currently on my "Disney To-Do List!"
- Although this event is included with your Epcot park ticket, it does fill up rather quickly. If you do want guaranteed seats, you can purchase a Candlelight Dinner Package, which includes lunch or dinner at one of Epcot's most noted restaurants, along with a reserved seat and a pre-arranged viewing area for the firework show. Your meal includes a beverage, entrée, appetizer, and dessert per person! Prices do vary by time and restaurant.
New Year's Eve Party at Disney Quest Interactive Theme Park: December 31
Where: Downtown Disney
Website: http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/destinations/downtown-disney/special-events/interactive-new-years-eve
- This event would be perfect for any kiddo celebrating the New Year while at WDW! On a normal day, this five story entertainment complex is heaven for kids. With the addition of a DJ-driven dance party, a New Year's Eve countdown complete with exploding confetti, free food, and the fact they can stay up until 1:00 a.m., your kids will be begging you to take them to this party! It sounds super fun and something I know I would have went bananas for this as a little one! =)
The Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights: Late Fall and Winter
Where: Hollywood Studios
Website: http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/parks/hollywood-studios/special-events/osborne-family-spectacle-of-dancing-lights
- During this time of year, the Streets of American located inside Hollywood Studios are transformed into something completely memorizing! Every inch of those streets are covered with LED Christmas lights that dance along with holiday music. This free event begins as the sun falls and replays every 10 minutes until the park closes. It truly a one-of-a-kind experience and I highly suggest everyone see it! Plus, it even snows during some performances! Check out last year's post about this event to watch a video to better explain how awesome this event is! (Sorry for any blurriness and/or talking, haha.)
Festival of the Seasons: Late Fall and Winter
Where: Downtown Disney
Website: http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/destinations/downtown-disney/special-events/festival-of-the-seasons
- At Disney, every shop, restaurant, building, bathroom…basically every surface is spruced up during the holiday season! And that is no different at Downtown Disney. Disney has dubbed this transformation as the "Festival of the Seasons." Guests should expect a massive number of Christmas lights and other holiday decorations, live Christmas-inspired entertainment, and even Santa Claus himself! Plus, DTD is the perfect place to finish up your Christmas shopping lists! 😉

My previous post stirred up a bit of controversy and spurred a bit of discussion. Fun stuff! The test plan for my new team states:
All functional, integration, performance, and stress tests are automated and none run manually in test passes. This will allow us to evaluate our product state quickly and spend more time focused on dogfooding, directed exploratory testing, and working with customers. This will set us up to provide better post-release support.
I think a key phrase is missing: which are worth automating. As in "All tests…which are worth automating are automated." I hope this is implicit to my new teammates' thinking. I will be making it explicit. <g/>
Determining which tests to automate is one of the Hard Problems in the testing world. I don't have any absolute answers or rules to follow. I have however developed some heuristics - fallible methods for solving a problem - which have proved useful. Possibly you will find them useful too. The relevance they have for you will to some degree track how closely your context matches with mine: shrink-wrapped software which is localized into many different languages and supported by sustained engineering for five to ten years.
Oftentimes several of these guidelines come into play. Say you have a test which is somewhat difficult to automate, would be tedious to execute manually, where you can afford some manual munging of the results in order to find missed failures and bypass false positives. Should you automate it? It depends. <g/>
A few examples from my personal experience:
Should you automate your tests? Probably. Should you test manually? Almost certainly. How do you choose when to do what? It depends!
*** My new team is hiring! Want a fun job on a great team? I need a tester! Interested? Let's talk: Michael dot J dot Hunter at microsoft dot com. Great coding skills required.

Because of the importance of a comprehensive community of learning, the M.Div./B.Th. degrees cannot be viewed simply as an accumulation of course credits or of individual independent work. In order to ensure an appropriate educational community, at least one year of full-time academic study or its equivalent shall be completed at the School. These regulations are in accordance with the standards of the Association of Theological Schools.
The course work for M.Div., MTS and B.Th. degree programs must normally be completed within ten years. Free standing course credits (i.e., those not applied to a degree) become stale dated after ten years.
In keeping with the policy of Queen's University, students must do half plus one of the total number of courses required for a degree at Queen's.
Queen's University subscribes to the following General Policy on the Transfer of Course Credits, as adopted by the Council of Ontario Universities.
Acceptance of transfer credits among Ontario universities shall be based on the recognition that, while learning experience may differ in a variety of ways, their substance may be essentially equivalent in terms of their content and rigour. Insofar as possible, acceptance of transfer should allow for the maximum recognition of previous learning experiences in university-level courses.
Subject to: 1) admission, and 2) degree, grade and program requirements, any courses offered for credit by one Ontario university shall be accepted for credit by another Ontario university when there is an essential equivalency in course content.
From Theological Schools
Students transferring from institutions recognized by Queen's University and/or The Association of Theological Schools will normally receive transfer course credit for graduate-level theological courses completed which are comparable to those required at the School of Religion. All transferring students should seek an evaluation from the Chair of Theology.
From other Faculties
Increasingly students enter Theology programs with previous work in Religious Studies. If any Arts course is judged by the Chair of Theology to be equivalent to a course at School of Religion, Queen's University, an equivalency will be granted. This equivalency does not shorten course requirements for Theology, but rather permits the student to substitute an elective for a prescribed course.
Directed reading courses generally are not approved for areas of study already covered by regular courses. The availability of faculty members to supervise reading courses is limited and cannot be presumed. Faculty supervision for a reading course must be negotiated with the Chair of Theology, and approved by the Principal. Students may not exceed two reading courses in the course of their program.
English Language Competency
Applicants whose first language is not English are required to achieve a score of at least 580 (paper-based test) or 237 (computer-based test) on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL).
Normally examinations and assignments are to be submitted in English, except where Committee on Theological Studies has approved an alternative practice or where a special agreement has been entered into between an instructor and a student, with the approval of the Chair of Theology, for submission of work in a language other than English.
The normal course load per year is four courses (16.00 units) per semester or equivalent. Those who wish to be registered as "full-time" must take at least three courses (12.00 units) per semester or equivalent in the regular session. Permission from one's faculty advisor is required to take more than a normal course load. Students appointed to pastoral charges normally have a course load restriction of three courses (12.00 units) per semester or equivalent in the regular session. To exceed this, a formal request must be forwarded to the Committee on Theological Studies.
Students wishing to make changes after registration are required to make the change on SOLUS – Student On-Line University System. SOLUS can be accessed via the MyQueensU portal from all computing sites on campus, and via the internet. Where permission of the instructor is required, students should apply to the individual instructor. Students should be aware of the dates by which changes can be made to avoid academic or financial penalties – please refer to the sessional dates for each academic year.
Queen's University changed to a GPA marking system as of May 2011. Grade distribution will be as follows:
|Letter Grade
|Grade Point
Note: Percentage grades are for instructor use only and will not show on student transcript.
Other academic entries that may be assigned by an instructor are:
Further explanation of these entries can be provided by the Academic Director/Chair of Theology or by consulting the Academic Regulations for the Faculty of Arts and Science, Queen's University.
Unless previously arranged with the instructor, all assignments must be submitted to your professor on the date assigned. Some instructors allow students to submit their term papers by mail as long as the package is post-marked with sufficient time to arrive by the due date. If you hope to submit an assignment by mail, make sure that you speak to your instructor to ensure he or she will accept assignments in this manner.
You must receive permission from your instructor to submit an assignment by email.
The School of Religion does not allow students to submit assignments by fax or by Express Post (couriers that will deliver directly to the School's Main Office can only be used).
Students who are unable to complete course work by the assigned course due date because of illness or extenuating personal circumstances beyond their control may petition the instructor for an incomplete mark (IN). It is the student's responsibility to request an incomplete, using the appropriate form,available on our website at http://www.queensu.ca/religion/theology/grad/resources/Forms.html. This form must be submitted to the instructor before the final deadline for submission of course material. It is at the instructor's discretion to assign an interim mark and accept work submitted after the due date. In other words, the request is not automatically granted. If the request for an incomplete is granted, the instructor will indicate a date by which the incomplete work is due. This date will be before the end of the next term. The final grade submitted will depend on whether or not an assessment of the work submitted thus far results in a passing grade or a failing grade. If a passing grade, the actual grade (A+ to D-) will be submitted; if a failing grade, a grade of IN will be submitted. If the work is completed by the agreed upon date, the grade submitted will be changed accordingly. If the work is not completed by the agreed upon date, the passing grade submitted will be retained or the IN representing a failing grade will be changed to an F. All IN grades will automatically be changed to an F grade at the end of the next term.
Academic integrity provides a foundation for the "freedom of inquiry and exchange of ideas" fundamental to the educational environment at the School of Religion, Queen's University and Queen's University. As a member of the Centre for Academic Integrity (CAI), Queen's subscribes to the definition of academic integrity "as a commitment, even in the face of adversity, to five fundamental values: honesty, trust, fairness, respect, and responsibility" (see www.academicintegrity.org/fundamental_values_project/pdf/FVProject.pdf).
The School of Religion, Queen's University is dedicated to creating a scholarly community free to explore a range of ideas, to build and advance knowledge and to share the ideas and knowledge that emerges from a range of intellectual pursuits. Each value gives rise to and supports the next.
Honesty appears in presenting one's own work, whether in the context of an examination, written assignment, laboratory or seminar presentation. It is in researching one's own work for course assignments. It is also present in faithfully reporting laboratory results even when they do not conform to an original hypothesis. Further, honesty is present in acknowledging dependence on the ideas or words of another and in distinguishing one's own ideas and thoughts from other sources.
Trust exists in an environment where one's own ideas can be expressed without fear of ridicule or fear that someone else will take credit for them.
Fairness appears in the proper and full acknowledgement of contributions of collaborators in group projects and in the full participation of partners in collaborative projects.
Respect, in a general sense, is part of an intellectual community that "recognizes the participatory nature of the learning process and honours and respects a wide range of opinions and ideas." However, "respect" appears in a very particular sense when students attend class, pay attention, contribute to discussion and turn papers in on time; instructors "show respect by taking students' ideas seriously, providing full and honest feedback on their work" ("The Fundamental Values of Academic Integrity," www.academicintegrity.org/fundamental_values_project/pdf/FVProject.pdf, p. 8).
Ultimately, responsibility is both personal and collective and draws students, faculty administrators and staff into creating and maintaining a learning environment supported by and supporting academic integrity.
Any departure from the values defined above compromises the "free enquiry and the free expression of ideas, both of which are basic to the University's central purpose". The following list defines the domain of relevant acts without providing an exhaustive list:
Please see the full Policy on Academic Integrity , which includes further definitions and procedures. It is the responsibility of the student to be aware of the content of this policy.
Final examination paper means the final examination question paper in a course and the graded answer paper written by the student which, by Senate policy, must be retained for a period of 12 months.
Appeal refers to the procedure by which any student may formally contest a final grade in accordance with the established appeal procedure of the Faculty or School offering the course.
Instructors may informally review the final examination paper with a student who requests it and are encouraged to do so. However access may not be granted before the final marks are released.
As a part of the process of appeal, and on request, the student will obtain access by a method determined by the Department or School. This may be either supervised access to, or a copy of, the final examination paper as well as all other material submitted by, but not returned to, the student and for which a mark has been assigned.
A student who has failed the equivalent of 24 units over any two consecutive terms or the equivalent of a total of 32 units during his/her M.Div./B.Th. program will automatically be required to withdraw. A student who has failed the equivalent of 24 units in any two consecutive terms, or the equivalent of a total of 24 credit hours during his/her M.T.S. program will automatically be required to withdraw.
A student who has attempted the equivalent of 32 units and whose cumulative average on those courses is less than a GPA of 2.0/C will be placed on probation for a specific number of course registrations as determined by the Committee on Theological Studies. By the end of the probationary period the student's overall average must have been raised to at least a GPA of 2.0/C, or the student will be required to withdraw permanently. Under exceptional circumstances, as determined by the Committee on Theological Studies, a student who at the end of the period has not raised his/her average to a GPA of 2.0/C may be permitted to take a further reduced load for an additional probationary period in order to try to raise his/her average to a GPA of 2.0/C. By the end of this additional probationary period the student's overall average must have been raised to at least a GPA of 2.0/C, or the student will be required to withdraw permanently. A student on probation may also be required to seek remedial help in some area related to his/her academic work.
Students may withdraw voluntarily, without academic penalty, prior to deadlines listed in Sessional Dates. Students wishing to return after having withdrawn completely should notify the Chair of Theology no later than 1 month in advance of the term in which they intend to return. Students who withdraw prior to achieving academic credits must apply for re-admission.
While we hope that your time at the School of Religion goes smoothly, the reality is that sometimes there are conflicts between students and faculty. The first step, as in any conflict, is to try and discuss the situation with the faculty member involved. If this is unsuccessful or if you are uncomfortable speaking directly with the faculty member, you should bring your concern(s) to the attention of the Chair of Theology. If your conflict is with the Chair of Theology, then you should bring your concern to the Director.
Students may appeal to the Committee on Theological Studies to have the requirement to withdraw waived or rescinded. Appeals must be in writing, and must be received by the Chair of Theology not later than two months after the requirement to withdraw has been imposed. Further appeals to the Committee on Theological Studies of the requirement to withdraw permanently will not be entertained until a period of three years has elapsed.
A student who wishes to question an interim or final grade must request an informal review with the instructor concerned. The instructor will give a reconsidered decision, normally within two weeks.
If the student is not satisfied with the decision, a written appeal for reconsideration may be submitted to the Chair of Theology.
The written appeal request must reach the Chair of Theology within two months of the end of the term concerned and must be accompanied by a fee of $25. This fee will be refunded to the student if, as a result, a failing mark is raised to a pass or if a pass is raised to a higher letter grade.
The reconsideration shall be conducted by two examiners appointed by the Chair of Theology; one examiner shall be the original examiner, if possible. It shall involve a rereading of some or all graded material for the course. It shall be the responsibility of the student to preserve all such graded material and to submit a file of these documents with the application.
Students are expected to be present at all classes, field experiences, required workshops, tutorials, tests and examinations in their courses and to submit the required course work at the prescribed times. For purposes of evaluation, assignments must be submitted in legible form. In some courses attendance will be part of the means of assessment of the course.
Students who claim illness or have other reasons for missing classes, field experiences, tutorials, tests or examinations are responsible for making suitable arrangements with the instructors concerned as soon as they are able. If there is a significant effect on attendance or academic performance, students are responsible for providing appropriate documentation to the Chair of Theology as soon as possible.
Students should discuss and confirm their course selection with their faculty advisors before registering for courses.
Registration is completed online using SOLUS, the Student Online University System, available via the My.QueensU portal on the Queen's University homepage at www.queensu.ca. Students are required to select their courses and pay their tuition fees before the beginning of each term (January 1 – Winter term; May 1 – Summer term; September 1 – Fall Term). Further information on REGISTRATION can also be found on our website at http://www.queensu.ca/religion/theology/grad/resources/registration.html and on the Registrar's Office website at http://www.queensu.ca/registrar.
First year students will receive their student cards upon completion of registration during the first three weeks of a term. They will need to go in person to the Registrar's Office to get them.
Returning students upon completion of the registration process must have their student card validated for the current year. Please see the Registrar's Office website at for validation locations and dates/times.
Replacement Photo I.D. Cards may be obtained at a cost of $20. Locations and dates for this are listed on the Registrar's Office website.
As the University is committed to the integrity of its student records, each student is required to provide either on the application for admission or during the initial registration process, their complete, legal name. Any requests to change a name, by means of alteration, deletion, substitution or addition, must be accompanied by appropriate supporting documentation.
Students registering in any one of THEO 403, 651, 652, 653, 654, 655, 656, 657, 685, 703, 704, 855, 856, 857, 858 or 859 are required to obtain a Criminal Records Check. You will need a "Release/Consent form" available on our website on the Forms page in Student Resources. The form and the original criminal records check must be shown to the Field Education Director or CPE Supervisor (whoever is the appropriate person) prior to registration in the course.
Research involving human subjects must be approved by the Departmental Research Ethics Review Board. For information on the policy on research involving human subjects, see the website which is found at http://www.queensu.ca/secretariat/senate/REBoct99.html.

Little Sweet Peppers.......
I bought a bag of these adorable little peppers. They are between 2 and 3" long. I want to slice in half, stuff and bake for an app.
Any suggestions?
They *are* super-cute, aren't they? I bought some recently and just made my usual taco meat with them. I wonder if it would work to use the half pepper as the tortilla part of a nacho, then stuff them with taco meat and top with cheese and bake. It would be a really tasty treat to somehow stuff them with cornbread...maybe a cornbread stuffing with sausage, then bake? Mmmm, that sounds better to me.
re: kattyeyes
I was thinking maybe stuffing with cream cheese and wrapping with bacon like the jalapeno ones.
re: doberlady
Yummm--sweet poppers!
I buy them all the time. They are sweet and have little seed pods which are not worth removing since you get good pepper flavors and a hint of heat if you eat it seeds and all.
One way I like to use them is to cut a little door in the side and stick a piece of nice cheese like manchego or aged goat cheese in the pepper then toss in a hot pan and warm them up. Drizzle with good EVOO for a little tapa.
I get these great sweet peppers every week at Costco..love them!
From just munching on them raw, I like to dip them in hummus or whip cream cheese.
I grill them with my salmon or slice them up with my spinach fettucine with other veggies and it's delicious.
Thought about stuffing them, like I would do for stuffed peppers.
I like the popper cream cheese idea..
re: Beach Chick
"Thought about stuffing them, like I would do for stuffed peppers."
Yep, I do exactly that, and my oh my they become something entirely different (read soooo much beter) than their green mushy counterpart that is often called for in traditional recipes. They work well as appetizers or as a meal.
Love those little cuties! If you decide not to stuff-they are fantastic in almost everything. I just bought some cubanelles- I'm doing sausage, peppers and onions.
I really think they're too good to cook. Raw sweet bell peppers are among my very favorites. I halve and take out the seeds, then serve them with Romesco, hummus or labneh. If I don't just eat them plain, that is.
They usually have them at Aldi this time of year. SO cheap.

In Afghanistan, Tribal Elders Get A Say In Security Pact With U.S.
Originally published on Sat November 23, 2013 7:15 pm
In Afghanistan, a grand assembly of some 2,500 tribal elders, politicians and civil society elites are meeting to decide whether to approve a security agreement with the United States. Approval by the grand assembly, called a loya jirga, would be in addition to the OK of the Afghan government. But as U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has noted, the agreement can't go forward without the backing of the Afghan people. The security agreement would allow as many as 9,000 U.S. troops to remain in Afghanistan after the current NATO mission ends next year. Those troops would continue to train Afghan forces, but also conduct limited counterterrorism operations against al-Qaida fighters.

Yay! for it being in Seattle, I may be able to come!
Will they post any part of it? I would like Rebecca to hear Christopher's talk. I know she wishes it had never happened, because of how it affected her (and possibly will in the future); it would be nice to hear from another "kid" about his perceptions.
Very, very awesome. I truly hope to attend some day, hopefully in 2010. Even though my pregnancy will have been 15 years ago by then, pre-e still touches my life daily. I also talk with moms of my patients frequently and refer the pre-e moms to this site; they so often think they are alone and have "never heard of anyone who had it before." Strength in numbers!

(The Huffington Post) - Cops were called in to stop hammer time, and the incident had nothing to do with a washed up rapper.
Darron Lynn Koenig allegedly threw hammers at construction workers in Friendswood, Texas, on Tuesday before barricading himself inside a tool shed at his home when police arrived, according to Click2Houston.
Authorities said one worker told them Koening was throwing the hammers at them and had a knife. One contractor's hard hat took the blow from the hammer while another worker was hit in the arm, authorities said.
Cops arrived to find Koenig barricaded inside the toolshed. After two hours, police said they feared Koenig was trying to set the shed on fire so they rushed in and "used tear gas and a Taser to subdue him" according to a police news release obtained by the Houston Chronicle.

The Friendswood Journal reports that Koenig has previous arrests for attacking one of his neighbors and, in a separate incident, assaulting a police officer.
Koenig was charged on Tuesday with three counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and one count of aggravated assault on an officer.

"America was not born as a colonial power, and that the same respect and partnership that America had with the Muslim world as recently as 20 or 30 years ago, there's no reason why we can't restore that. And that I think is going to be an important task."
So said our new president in his interview Tuesday with Al Arabiya, the Arabic-language satellite news channel. At first the words washed over me. Then I did some simple math. Let's see… 20 or 30 years ago… that would be 1989 or 1979.
What was happening in relations between America and the Muslim world back then? Not relying on memory alone, I consulted Bernard Grun's reference book, The Timetables of History.
It turns out that in 1989 U.S. fighters shot down two Libyan jets over the Gulf of Sidra. The last Soviet troops left Afghanistan, creating a vacuum that would eventually be filled by the Taliban. Ayatollah Khomeini issued a fatwa calling for Salman Rushdie's death for "blasphemy." Hundreds died in Lebanon's long-running civil war while Hezbollah militants were torturing to death U.S. Marine Colonel William "Rich" Higgins, who had been kidnapped the previous year while serving as a UN peacekeeper in Lebanon.
And 1979? That was an even darker year-in many ways a turning point for the worse in the Middle East. That was, after all, the year that the shah of Iran was overthrown. He was replaced by the Ayatollah Khomeini, who launched a war against the West that is still unfolding. One of the first actions of this long struggle was the seizure of the US Embassy in Tehran and all of its personnel as hostages. The same year saw the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, which led to the growth of the mujahideen, some of whom would later morph into Al Qaeda and the Taliban. This was also the year that Islamic militants temporarily seized control of the Grand Mosque in Mecca, an event that drove the Saudi royal family to become ever more fundamentalist.
In other news in 1979, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, the former prime minister of Pakistan, was hanged by General Zia al-Hak, inaugurating a long period when Pakistan would be under the effective control of the army in alliance with Islamic militants. That year mobs also attacked U.S. embassies throughout the Muslim world from Kabul and Islamabad to Tripoli. The one bright spot in 1979 was the signing of the Camp David Accord between the US, Egypt, and Israel, which did not, unfortunately, auger a "new" Middle East as many optimists hoped.
So this is the sort of "partnership" between the U.S. and the Middle East that President Obama would like to see? If his predecessor had suggested any such thing he would by now be a subject of ridicule for late-night comedians and daytime talk show hosts, and rightly so.
This is actually a revealing slip. To wit, it reveals two things: First, Obama's profound ignorance about most aspects of foreign policy, including the recent history of the Middle East. A second, and related point, is his tendency to blame the ills of the region on the previous administration-something that is only possible if you started following the Middle East around 2001 and have little idea of what came before. It is then all too easy to claim, as Obama did on the campaign trail, that it was George W. Bush's "disengagement" from the peace process and his "disastrous" war with Iraq that messed up the Middle East. Only someone with a longer view would realize how profoundly messed up the region was long before Bush came into office.
Even if we go back before the current era of religious extremism that began in earnest in 1979 we find evidence that from the American perspective the Middle East was hardly a happy place. Think of the OPEC oil embargo that began in 1973, the numerous wars between Israel and the Arabs, Eisenhower's landing of marines in Lebanon in 1958, the Suez Crisis of 1956, the overthrow of Iran's prime minister in 1953, and so on.
To the extent that we had any stability in the region it was purchased at the expense of alliances with distasteful regimes like those of the Shah of Iran and the Saudi royal family, once considered the "twin pillars" of American policy in the Middle East. Obama is dreaming if he thinks there was a wonderful "partnership" with Arab or Muslim regimes that he can "restore."
UPDATE: In the comments section, "Elen" writes: "I wonder if Columbia/Harvard education is overrated or Obama is simply an idiot. I think the answer is both." I think the answer is neither. From everything I have seen, Obama is a smart man who received a good education at Columbia and Harvard. The problem is that he spent his entire career in domestic policy and politics. He has little knowledge or background in national security affairs—probably about the same amount as anyone who was kind of paying attention in college more than twenty years ago but hasn't paid much attention since. My guess is that when it comes to foreign policy he knows only marginally more than Sarah Palin—another smart person who simply didn't have to bone up on this subject before running for national office. You can see the difference when Obama is talking—he is crisp and confident on domestic issues, halting and uncertain on foreign issues. I only hope for all of our sakes that he is a fast learner.

Press release from Marketwire
Invenio Options Second Gold Property in Alaska
Wednesday, July 13, 2011
Invenio Options Second Gold Property in Alaska13:22 EDT Wednesday, July 13, 2011VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - July 13, 2011) - Invenio Resources Corp. ("Invenio" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:IVO) is pleased to announce it has secured an option on a second gold property in Alaska. The agreement is with Interior Alaska Mining, LLC ("IAM") and provides the Company with the option to purchase a 100% undivided interest in the Candle Hills Gold Property ("Candle" or the "Property") located in southwest Alaska. The option on Candle marks Invenio's second gold property deal in the past six months in the prolific Tintina Gold Belt which is host to several multi-million ounce gold deposits. Candle consists of 61 claims totaling 9,760 acres and is located 15 kilometres southwest of the village of McGrath and 55 kilometres by road to Invenio's Ganes Creek Property. The proximity of Candle to Ganes Creek, where Invenio has already begun exploration, will allow the Company to initiate a first phase of exploration at Candle efficiently and quickly.Gold mineralization at Candle is potentially plutonic-hosted stockwork and fault-fill vein style. Geological and whole-rock geochemical relationships combined with the identification of copper-gold-silver-arsenic-mercury anomalies within the Candle Hills igneous complex indicates strong similarities to other deposits along the Iditarod – Nixon Fork fault such as Freegold Ventures and Vinesale Mountain.The head waters of Candle Creek begins at the northern boundary of the Property and flows northeast through a broad valley that drains the Candle Hills igneous complex. Placer gold deposits along the upper three kilometres of Candle Creek were mined by hand, mechanized open-cut and bucket-line dredge operations through the 1930's but stopped at the steep slopes just below the Property. Historical reports of this mining activity indicate placer production of approximately 138,000 ounces of gold and 12,000 ounces of silver. During the 1990's limited placer mining in Candle Creek recovered gold that was commonly associated with cinnabar; a mercury bearing mineral that is sometimes associated with lode gold deposits.Under the Letter Agreement, Invenio has the option to acquire 100% of the Property by making payments totaling $285,000, issuing 300,000 shares and spending $1,850,000 by Dec 31, 2014. Upon completion of the Option, Invenio will grant IAM a 3% NSR and IAM will grant Invenio the right to purchase 1% of the NSR for $2,000,000.The technical information in this news release was reviewed by Jerry Blackwell, P.Geo., Invenio's technical advisor and a Qualified Person as defined in NI 43-101.About Invenio Resources Corp.Invenio Resources Corp is a Canadian based exploration company focused on gold exploration. The Company's common shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange and trade under the symbol IVO. Invenio has three gold properties, Ganes Creek, Alaska, Kings Canyon located on the border of Nevada and Utah and Green Springs located in Nevada. Invenio owns 75% of Kings Canyon and Green Springs and in February 2011 it signed an option on Ganes Creek with the right to acquire a 100% interest. Ganes Creek has the potential to host both high grade lode style gold mineralization and lower grade bulk mineable mineralization similar to that found at the 42 million ounce Donlin Creek gold deposit. The Kings Canyon project contains an historical, non-compliant resource of approximately 217,000 ounces of gold at a grade of 0.93 grams/tonne. The deposit is near surface, oxidized and interpreted to be Carlin style. The Green Springs project is a former past producer with reported head grades of 2 g/t gold.ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF INVENIO RESOURCES CORP.

customer valuation
In customer relationship management (CRM), customer valuation is a scoring process used to help a company determine which customers the company should target in order to maximize profit.
In customer relationship management (CRM), customer valuation is a scoring process used to help a company determine which customers the company should target in order to maximize profit. Customer valuation requires that the company evaluate past data to learn which customers purchased recently, which customers purchased frequently, and which customers spent the most money, in hopes that the company can forecast future purchase potential and make sure time and resources are spent only on its best customers.

To understand how customer valuation works, let's imagine there is a company that manufactures skateboards called CoolSkate. CoolSkate's sales are made primarily through Internet and print catalog sales. Through surveys and questionnaires on their Web site, CoolSkate has accumulated quite a bit of data about the buying habits, preferences, and age range of their customers. With this data, CoolSkate will devise a customer valuation scoring system that awards points based on total purchasing dollars, repeat purchases, and customer loyalty. CoolSkate can then use the information gained from the customer valuation scores to predict repeat-purchase probability as well as the probability of attrition, and target their promotions to customers who are likely to make new purchases.
Customer valuation is based upon the 80/20 rule in marketing, whereby a company spends the majority of its time working with its best customers. There are many software applications on the market to help companies determine a point system relevant to their products or services and combine aggregated data to determine customer valuation.

Well, nobody except for Nora.
But before we get to that, the episode starts when Nora, who managed to escape her fight with Renee last week unscathed (aside from a few fingers pointed in her face and one hair-pull), tells Pia what happened. Hilariously, during her re-telling, she glosses ever-so-lightly over the fact that she swung at Renee and basically punched her in the face, and Pia's not about to let her move beyond that point in the story so quickly. So Nora retraces her steps and explains the entire situation from finger points to swinging fists and Pia can't believe any of it.
"She's done in my books," Nora says of Renee. But everyone on this show says that about everyone else, so who knows?
The next time Nora and Pia meet, Renee is all Nora is able to talk about…again. Pia's really tired of it and tells Nora to stop thinking about her, but Nora is seriously wound up. Pia finally snaps and tells Nora to leave Renee in the gutter and forget her.
Pia is annoyed most of all by Nora's "obsession with this fictitious friendship," and its driving a wedge between them.
We know Leah and her father are incredibly close, but this week we also meet her mom, Jacquie. She's close to her mother, too, even though she lived with her dad when she grew up, and she was devastated to find out recently that her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. Leah is one devoted daughter and she has vowed to take care of her mother no matter what, but her mom has a positive outlook and tells her "Life goes on." She's not about to sit around and wait for bad things to happen, she's still out there living her life to the fullest. "Be strong for me. I don't wanna see tears," her mom tells her.
"Knowing my mother is such a strong woman, we're gonna f—ing beat this cancer," Leah says.
It's tough to remember that Renee isn't enemies with everyone on this show. Not yet, anyway. She meets with Christina to go fabric shopping (apparently Christina has latent fashion designer abilities and is making Renee a dress) and as they look at swatches, Renee tells Christina about the fight with Nora. She leaves out everything about why she and Nora were meeting in the first place (funny how these ladies are very selective when they tell their stories, huh?) but she never mentions that Nora was laying out all the ways Renee upset her, instead just telling Christina that Nora hit her.
Christina sides with Renee since it was Nora who threw the first punch.
Christina has more important drama to deal with though, because she tells her therapist that her plan to keep her divorce a secret from her daughter has backfired. Someone in the neighborhood told her daughter that Christina and her husband were divorced, and when her daughter confronted her, Christina had to come clean, finally. But now her daughter doesn't understand why she was lied to.
You know her therapist is trying hard not to be all "I told you so," but in this case, it's a pretty ginormous, obvious "I told you so."
"I guess I didn't look at it as lying," Christina says, crying. But now she fears she's ruined the trust she had with her daughter. But now that she knows, Christina feels a huge sense of relief and she's ready to just roll with it and move on.
Renee's family saga continues now that her daughter Giana plans to go visit her father who's in prison for murder. Renee tried to talk Giana out of it in the very first episode, but Giana plans to go and she doesn't think it's a good idea for Renee to come along.
"You guys would just sit there and bicker…I couldn't handle it," Giana says. Renee can't believe Giana would think this would happen, but hello, have we seen how every situation Renee has been in thus far has ended? Giana has a point. "There's no way in hell it's gonna turn out good." Giana says she actually has nightmares about this very scenario, and since she really does love her dad and she wants to see him to catch up and have a good time, it sounds like Renee coming along would make the situation way too tense.
Giana asks her BFF Marco what his take on the situation is, he nails it by saying that Renee might be jealous of the connection Giana has with her dad. It's a connection Renee never really had with him because he was out being a lowlife when they were together and he was never there for her, but he's there, at least for a few minutes a week, via pre-paid phone call, for Giana. "She wants me to be mad at him, and I don't feel that," Giana says.
Nora, meanwhile has been planning a birthday bash for herself that involves getting some friends together and taking them on a party bus to an undisclosed location. Everyone except for Renee is invited. Leah and Christina barely know Nora so they're both perplexed about a) why they're even going and b) what to get her. "If I could buy Nora anything, I'd buy her some common sense," Leah says.
When the time comes, they all board the party bus for a day they'll never forget. The first conversation on board revolves around letting men buy them gifts. Pia is all for it, but Nora has some specific thoughts on letting men buy her things, especially if it means that accepting gifts sends the wrong kind of message to a man.
Yup. She went there. I know, Leah can't believe it either.
Leah informs the girls that she's a bit of a prude when it comes to this kind of sexual conversation and I love her for that. And just when you thought the bus ride couldn't get more awkward, they pull up to a go kart facility. This is what Nora planed for her birthday, and no one gets it. "I just wanted to keep it a secret because it was something different," Nora explains. It's also something Pia can't participate in because, since she just had her boobs redone, she can't risk any go-kart-related popping.
The ladies prove to be the world's slowest kart-racers ever, and Leah cannot for the life of her figure out why Nora picked this place for her birthday celebration. Pia has a simple explanation.
When it's time for cake, Nora tells the saddest story ever of one birthday party she had as a child where no one showed up. "That'll stick with you," Christina says, and Nora says the reason for the go-karting and the kid theme is that this is the party she never had as a kid. It all makes sense now, and all the ladies start to realize that Nora is really just like a little girl deep down, trapped in a woman's body.
They were having so much fun at Nora's party that Christina announces that she wants to throw a big party for everyone, including Renee. And then the Renee floodgates open for Nora. She starts trashing Renee and again, but when Christina extends an invite to Renee, she trashes Nora right back and hates the idea of looking "at Nora's ugly face" at this party.
"Next time Renee and Nora meet up, they're gonna kill each other," Christina says. And yet she still wants their next encounter to be at her party. Sigh.
Pia and Nora go to a gym where no one else goes (sign me up, my gym is always crowded), and Pia tells Nora she should go to Christina's party and if she doesn't, it'll hurt Christina's feelings.
Look, I know these women need to be assembled in order for drama to happen, but Pia is just guilting Nora into going somewhere and we all know baaaddd s— is going to happen there. Sigh again. Pia tries to commiserate with Nora explaining that they both have problems with Renee, but Pia still plans to go to the party, and Nora's like "Yeah, but my problem is different from your problem." She then continues to do some rage leg-lifts.
Nora says Renee doesn't like Pia because of her stripping, but Pia thinks Renee has actually heard things from Nora that go deeper. ("Clearly Renee doesn't like me because of Nora's mouth.") Pia then points out that if Renee has such a big problem with stripping, she shouldn't be friends with Nora either, because once upon a time, Nora danced to put herself through school. "I've been keeping this secret for Nora, which is she danced too…Why am I being chastised?" Pia asks. Well, Nora's glad you asked, Pia. The difference is that Nora never "had extras special clients" who get b— j—s from her. Whoa. That's quite the accusation.
"Nobody calls me a whore," Pia says. And with this conversation, the battle between Nora and Pia is on…again.

This course introduces basic physics simulation principles in Autodesk 3ds Max using MassFX, a system that makes it cost effective to animate rigid body objects, cloth, and particle systems. Author Brian Bradley introduces basic concepts such as gravity, drag, volume, and density, and how Newton's Laws of Motion can help you understand the interaction of objects with these unseen forces. Using the purpose built scene, Brian walks through the tools and features of the MassFX (PhysX) system, applying the principles discussed as he goes. Along the way, discover how to combine rigid bodies and constraints, mCloth fabrics, and mParticles geometry to create fairground-style effects.
When working with a complex system such as the MassFX simulation tools inside 3ds Max, we have to remember that there will always be a number of global controls that exercise a great deal of influence over how the system is working. In MassFX these options will impact speed, accuracy, and so ultimately the final quality of our finished dynamics simulations. As these options can be found inside the MassFX Tools dialog, let's once again enable that option from our MassFX toolbar and then just the dock it to the left-hand side of the 3ds Max UI, which is pretty much where I would keep it for the duration of this course.
One of the first choices we will want to make with regard to our simulation setup is whether or not we want to use an object from our scene as a ground collider or can we happily work with the MassFX Use Ground Collision option. This automated system uses an invisible infinite planar static rigid body as a ground object. This is set by default at the height of the 3ds Max home grid, which would be 0 on the world Z axis. As you would expect from any well- thought-out system however, this Height value is indeed editable.
Because this Ground Collision option is on by default, we do need to be careful when working with our object setup. We need to make certain that we don't inadvertently place dynamic objects in a way that causes them to intersect with, or actually sets them below, this ground level. We can undock with our dynamic object behaving in a most bizarre manner if we do. In fact, whenever a simulation behaves in an unexpected manner, this is one of the first problems that I check for. Another extremely important default option in our MassFX simulations would be the settings we use for gravity.
By default, Gravity is both enabled and set to Earth actually MassFX. Now as MassFX uses negative values, this means our Acceleration value will be set to -9.81 m/sec square, assuming of course meters are the units we are currently working with. Don't worry if they are not, because if we just come up to our Customize menu and come down to our Unique setting option, if we just switch over to working with feet and inches for a moment or two, you will notice over in the MassFX controls that it automatically performs the conversion for us; we don't need to really worry about that at all.
Let's just go and set this back to working with meters. These gravity defaults mean that in most simulation--that is, ones that require real-world gravity settings--we really don't need to perform any kind of setup at all, as everything is ready to go out of the box, as it were. However, if our particular simulation requires something other than physically accurate gravity settings, as you can see, we do indeed have options available that will give us control of both the direction and strength of MassFX gravity in the simulation.
However, if our particular simulation requires something other than physically accurate gravity settings, well, as you can see, we do indeed have options available that will give us control over both the direction and the strength of MassFX gravity in the simulation. One interesting and potentially very useful option here is the ability given us to control our global gravity by means of any gravity force object or space warp that we have in our scene. Though if we do use this option, we need to bear in mind that the gravity force object doesn't currently use the same strength, scale, or settings as the default MassFX gravity.
To get the two to correspond--or to match, as it were--we will need to multiply the strength of our force object by 10 and of course use positive rather than negative values. So to set Earth-real gravity in force space warp or a gravity force space warp, we would need to set the Strength value to 98.1 rather than 9.81, as in the MassFX gravity. One obvious benefit of using this particular approach is that we can apply gravity in absolutely any direction that we like.
All we need to do is simply rotate our space warp object in the scene accordingly. We could even disable gravity altogether in our global options and apply different gravity settings to individual objects in the scene by using a number of gravity force objects and applying those at the modifier level rather then globally. In our next video, we will move on from the environmental globals we have looked at here and examine some extremely important options that go a long way towards governing the accuracy of our rigid body simulations, these being the substeps and Solver Iterations options.

The Matterform 3D Scanner - The world's first, truly affordable 3D scanner for anyone!
If you've ever wanted a 3D scanner now's your chance. By pledging support to this project, you can have your very own 3D Scanner. All the Early backers, batch #1, #2, #3 and #4 packs are sold out and batch #5 is now closed.
The Matterform 3D Scanner allows anyone to take a physical object, and turn it into a digital 3D model on your computer. From there, you can print your file on any 3D printer, or online printing service. Or use the model you created in an animation or video game.
We've been developing the 3D scanner hardware and software from scratch for the past year and now we're ready to release it to you. We'll fulfill all the indiegogo pledges first so if you're excited to get one, supporting us now is the best route and you can take advantage of our special intro pricing.
The Verge - "Matterform crowdfunds a simple, well-designed 3D scanner that could arrive this summer"
MAKE: - "Inexpensive "Click-and-Scan" 3D Scanner Soars on Indiegogo"
Ponoko- "the unit behaved as advertised, and really does look great."
Ars Technica - "New $443 3D scanner on sale: "Looks awesome. Shoots lasers.""
Tech Crunch - "Similar projects are popping up these days ... – but none look as polished as this model." "We're living in a world of miracles and wonder the fact that you can spend four Benjamins (or centiloonies or whatever they have in Canada) and get a 3D scanner is amazing to me."
Boing Boing - "Photon 3D Scanner: fold-up easy 3D scanning on IndieGoGo"
inhabitat - "With a Photon and 3D printer on your desk, work life is propelled into the future, with an actual replicating system at your fingertips."
Core77 - "Matterform has spent a year working on the prototype for their Photo 3D Scanner, and it looks pretty sweet"
DVICE - "Photon 3D scanner is beautifully designed with simple lines and a small footprint that is reminiscent of an old portable record player, and rather than relying on a Kinect, it uses actual frikkin' lasers to make it scans."
Do I have to be an engineer?
No. Anyone can use it. End of story. Unfold it, plug it in, place an object on the scan bed and press go! It's that simple. Really.
All dressed up and nothing to print.
We've visited various makerspaces and we were surprised to find a lot of people that had bought 3D printers didn't really know what to do with them. We understand that 3D modelling software can be harder to learn than one might think and we want to help change that. The power of 3D printing comes in the ability to make personalized items, not simply printing off what other people have created. We really want to give people the tools to see their creativity come to life.
What if I don't have a 3D Printer?
Not a problem, use one of the many 3d printing services (like Shapeways or Ponoko), to print your object. Besides, the Matterform 3D scanner isn't just for 3D Printers, it's the best tool for 3D animators, designers, hobbyists, prototypers, engineers, or anyone in the business of 3D creation. It's perfect for reverse engineering, prototype development, duplicating objects, modifying existing products, archiving, generating content for video games, experimenting and so much more. Scan models, tweak them or combine them. The options are endless.
How do I get one?
Simply back us right here! As soon as the Indiegogo campaign ends, we'll start production. And in very little time, you'll have your very own 3D Scanner.
Taking it to a new level.
Not only is the Matterform 3D Scanner the first affordable 3D scanner, but for the first time ever in the home 3D makerspace, comes a product that you can actually be proud to have on your desk. Long gone are the days of laser cut wood and threaded rod projects. Get creating and scanning right out of the box.
Why Indiegogo?
We're really excited to be bringing such an important and useful tool to designers, artists and makers all over the world. Using crowdfunding just makes sense for everyone involved.
In order to keep the cost down, we need to make these in volume. Your pledge helps us create these at the lowest possible price. The future of this scanner is in your hands.
If you like the idea, but don't want a scanner, show your support by pledging any amount, share this link with a friend, or both!
I don't have room on my desk for another device.
No problem. When not in use, the scanner easily folds and tucks away on a shelf, and because of the built in handle it also makes it easier for you to transport it should you ever want to.
What's under the hood?
The Matterform 3D scanner uses a high definition camera and dual laser lines to capture 3D scans in as little as 3 minutes. The scanner can scan objects up to 190mm x 190mm x 250mm (7.5" diamter x 9.75" height), and yet folds up into a compact size. It's lightweight, portable, and compact, making it easy to integrate into your workspace.
Easy to use, one-touch 360 degree scanning.
The software was designed from the ground up, and works seamlessly with the hardware. Free to use and download, the software is available for PC, Mac and Linux. Whether you've used 3D software before or if you're just getting into it now you'll find our software was designed to be as easy as possible. After a one time setup, scanning becomes as easy as one click. We know you want to spend your time creating things and being creative, not calibrating, tweaking hardware or figuring out yet another tool.
How accurate is it?
Because the 3D Scanner is one solid desktop device, the objects you scan are accurate and precise. Unlike software based solutions, the Matterform 3D scanner gives dimensional data, making 3D scans far more useful.
We're aiming to make the 3D files compatible with all major CAD packages, 3D modelling software and 3D printers. Currently, models produced from the scanner, can be saved as .STL, .OBJ, and point cloud .PLY formats. Making it easy to integrate scans within existing systems, such as 3DS max, Maya, solidworks, cinema 4d, google sketchup, rhino, True space, etc.
What is the resolution?
Currently the resolution of the scanner on a 4 inch figurine is 0.43mm @ 0.5 degree scans, with an accuracy of +/- .2mm. We're quite excited about the current results, and are working everyday to continue improving the resolution. Check out the campaign Updates for sample scans and files.

Who we are.
Matterform (www.matterform.net) was co-founded by Adam Brandejs and Drew Cox.
Adam Brandejs: Programmer, sculptor, Eagle PCB junky, hacker, and maker... I've been making things all my life from robots and code to sculptural art that tours art galleries all over the world. I was dry walling at 7, picked up my first soldering iron at 10, was programming commodore 64's at 12, picked up 3ds max r2.5 in highschool (yeah, I'm old), fixed everyones computer during university, and then spent a few years in advertising making websites for Audi, Coca Cola, Budweiser, and countless other big name companies you've probably never heard of. It was kinda boring though and I'd rather be my own boss.
Drew Cox: I've been an entrepreneur since I was 18, and making things since I could move my hands. The many jobs I have had over the years are what make me who I am. Professionally I have been a programmer, artist, art director, and graphic designer. Unprofessionally I am an inventor, hacker, and mad scientist.
My career path has lead me to help build huge brands like Labatt, Budweiser, Audi, Honda, Coca Cola. My hobbies and passion has brought me to respect the names of Prusa, Sherline, Arduino, and every person who has ever contributed to open source projects.
To contact us outside of indiegogo please use email@example.com
Q: What connections are on the unit?
A: The unit works from a standard 5v power supply and is connected to the PC via a single USB 2.0 connector. We will supply the unit with the correct power supply for your country.
Q: How fast is a scan?
A: The speed of the scanner is dependent on a number of factors, including the speed of your computer, the size of the object and the quality of the scan. Scan times average around 5 minutes, although we'll be optimising it wherever possible. Our goal is focused on quality, more than speed.
Q: How will you keep backers up to date?
A: We intend to be fully engaged with our backers as we move forward with the Matterform 3D scanner. There will be frequent updates and progress reports. Once our indiegogo campaign is over we'll continue to share our progress as we prepare for production and beyond. We love sharing information and teaching, and we just think the entire process of building things is exciting, we're happy to share as much as we can.
Q: Will it work outside north america?
A: For International Backers: Of course! We'll include adaptors and the plug we've chosen is a universal 120v/240v. We want to make sure everyone can use the scanner.
Q: What are the File outputs saved as?
A: Currently, models produced from the scanner can be saved as .STL, .OBJ, and point cloud .PLY formats. Making it easy to integrate scans within existing systems, such as 3Dmax, Maya, solidworks, cinema 4d, google sketchup, rhino, True space, etc.

With its split serifs, Vglee looks like it could be a copy of an "Old West†font but it is not. It was constructed by taking a motif and applying it regardless of consequences. Vglee does not have lower-case letters but it does include a full set of Western and Central European accented characters. Its distinctive, odd appearance can be useful in small doses for decorative purposes.
