Living in Yesterday's Trash
by Valerie Sokolosky - Aug, 2012
Who wants to live with yesterday's trash? Show of hands? Just as I thought. No one. So, why do we keep looking in the rear view mirror at yesterday's rubbish in our lives, like the disappointment when we didn't get the promotion…the times the people we thought had our back, yet let us down…or that deep resentment we felt over a business deal. I've always known it did no good to dig up the past. But what about those of us...
Mistakes to Avoid when Negotiating Salary
by Louise Garver - Aug, 2012
One of the comments I hear most often from executives is the struggle to negotiate their salary when the offer is presented. This is especially true for executives who have been unemployed for some time and wish to return to the workforce as soon as possible. Some think being too harsh when negotiating salary might jeopardize their job offer. Let's take a look at three mistakes you can avoid. The first person who talks...
Why I'll never critique your resume
by Laura Smith-Proulx - Aug, 2012
Frequently, I encounter job seekers who are trying to find out what, if anything, might be missing from their resume. Of course, they also ask what I'd do to improve it. These are valid questions, and in such a competitive market, it makes sense for candidates to request this type of feedback. However, I won't do it. Why not? There's simply no way, other than getting to know the twists and turns of your profe...

Failure–Who Needs It? | You Do
by Dawn Lennon - Aug, 2012
We just don't like it. We often fear it, dread it, struggle to avoid it, and sometimes succumb to it. Failure tests us. It makes us face up to what we're made of. Failure and fear are ominous bedfellows. They feed each other and us too in ways that can be crushing. Embracing failure If we want to succeed, we need to welcome failure. It's our greatest teacher. If it weren't, we wouldn't remember our failures...
Networking Choices that Change You
by John E. Kobara - Aug, 2012
What you choose changes you. We are confronted with many choices everyday. We select when to get up, what we wear, eat, and what we do. We decide what our priorities are, what needs to be done and who are our friends will be. While we can sometimes feel that life happens to us, we choose many of the details. Possibly the most important thing we do is decide where our attention is placed. What we listen to, look at, and und...

What Is a QR Code & Why You Must Have One For Your Job Search
by Michelle Dumas - Aug, 2012
Can having and using a QR Code be helpful to a job seeker? Today's job market remains highly competitive. Unemployment remains over 8 percent and gains in the number of new jobs remain modest. Recruiters and H.R. departments alike are often inundated with dozens, if not hundreds, of applicants for each open position. Highly qualified (if not overqualified) job seekers submit resumes by the proverbial truckload, resulting i...

The Daunting Task of Recordkeeping in Today's Compliance Environment
by Chris Lindholm - Aug, 2012
Recruitment and hiring processes are changing, and they are changing fast. Similar to how fast the internet changed public lives in the 1990's, elaborate internet tools such as social media, job boards, online diversity associations and job posting requirements are changing the lives of recruiters and Federal contractors right now. In turn, contractors have a lot of questions about how to keep pace with their recordkeepin...

Facebook Shuts Down Group Offering Fraud 'Services'
A Facebook group that offered fraud 'services' was recently shut down after the social network found its members published credit card details, networks of hacked computers and other illegal information, according to The Guardian.
The group identified by RSA security researchers included a list of stolen identities apparently obtained by a member. The fake profile, launched on 28 February, gathered 163 "likes" and engaged 20 regular contributors.
"Security issues, from malware to cybercrime, exist across the whole of the web," Facebook representatives told The Guardian. "Although security consultants would have you believe otherwise, cybercrime isn't a big issue on Facebook. While the site has 30 million people using it in the UK, very few people ever encounter malware or cybercrime [on the site]."
In one post, a member asked the group's creator to send him a private message, then published six stolen identities, probably credit card details he wasn't able to use.
While most fraud 'services' such as malware 'sales' can be found on the black market, this group was completely open, which caught the attention of security experts.
"We've never seen this before," RSA Technical Lead on Knowledge Delivery Limor Kessem said. "It's very odd to see something like this sold openly via Facebook. The individual [behind the Facebook group] is probably a mid-level developer. He's taken version one of Zeus, compiled it and created his own skin for the control panel. Even though this version is fairly old, we're still seeing it used."
Facebook removed the group, which had been accessible even to people who don't have an account on the network, because of policy violation.

I'm curious if I'm just a really big tight wad! We were talking to my BIL last night and they pay almost $1,000 total per month for both their cars and I was shocked! We pay less than $400 total per month for both vehicles. Given, BIL and his wife both drive brand new cars & my husband and I drive a 2004 and a 2005. But is $1,000 pretty normal?
How much is your car payment?
I refuse to have a car payment. If I can't pay for it outright, then I can't afford to buy it. Instead, I put money aside every month (and earn interest myself) so that I can pay cash.
I don't have a car payment, but I'm also not driving around the new 2012/2013 vehicles.
But, my car has NEVER left me on the side of the road. *knock on wood*.
So in all the years I've had it...it's beyond lasted some of these newer vehicles that are made like pure shit.
"Do what you want with my body, do what you want with my body. You can't stop my voice cause you don't own my life"
I hate car payments. When we had one it was arounf $300 a month but I paid $750 to have it paid off in 2 yrs instead of 5.

$0 my dh and i paid off are cars about 8 yrs ago. Our cars are 10 years old and we're driving them until we can't.
my family gives me a sideways look b/c dh and my cars are so "old" but we love not having a that car payment.
$250 a month.
That is pretty outrageous.

Celebration and the Prius
By leroyk on Apr 16, 2008
Toke a few days off this week to recharge. Actually planned it months ago and it could not have come at a better time. Journeyed down to Florida this week and decided to do something different. Stayed in a small hotel in Celebration, Florida which I believe is a Disney planned community. In Disney fashion the community is perfect.
While here stayed at the Celebration Hotel. What a incredible small property situated on a lake (man-made ???). Actually 3 lakes that are connected and have a wide variety of wildlife. Should you need to recharge, I highly recommend this place. Close to the parks if you need to do that but far enough away to be satisfying quiet.
While I was here, I rented a Prius. The friendly eco-car. A highlight is that I barely used any gas the past few days. Sadly the rental company put the screws to me regarding price. It totally eliminated any gas savings but was a good way to try the technology.
Regarding the technology it actually works. With Toyota I was not worried that much. But I have memories of GM's 4-6-8 engine that would reduce the number of active cylinders needed to save gas. The current generation works really well. The first generation well did not. So I just pictured the little Prius hesitating and stumbling every time it started it engine. While not invisible, the engagement is pretty slick and seamless. I would be concerned that the starter would need to be beefed up for this type of operation. Otherwise lots of trips to the dealer for new starters. Overall it works pretty well.
The other thing with the Prius, while lovable, it is not a barn burner in terms of performance. Not that it is a slouch either. You must think out your moves a little in advanced. No touching the gas to merge with ease. The suspension and tires are more oriented to fuel savings then playing "what is the correct apex to exit this curve at max speed". Not that I do that on regular basis mind you :)
All in all not a bad little commuter when viewed with the correct prism.

I am working on a project for per-station messaging and other functions in a warehouse. I don't want the cost of a full computer at each station, so I'm looking for small format hardware that I can push messages to.
My first thought was networked LCD's ( http://www.seeedstudio.com/depot/twatch-v2-with-lcd-assembled-p-510.html?cPath=138 ), but then I thought further and would like something with a browser if I can, as it can look nicer.
My thought was to have cheap Android smartphones locked in to each workstation. This would provide a touchscreen and Opera browser, as well as being network capable.
Does anyone have any other hardware suggestions that might fit the bill better? I'm mainly looking for something with a browser.

Rated 5 out of 5 by RMorales luxurious makes my pool area look like a resort . The cushions are so comfortable. beautiful design . Iam happy with this product and will purchase another set. May 31, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by marytf Ask me....owned these for 7 years I bought 2 of these chairs over 7 years ago. They are very high quality. They have lived 100% outside in the florida sun, salt and rain. They still operate perfectly. The wicker has faded a bit. But, I have no issue with that because it is still a strong bronze color. No rust has occurred on all the parts. Even the green sunbrella cushions are in great condition. I am purchasing a new set of cushions because I am changing the color scheme of my outdoor area. Of course, these chairs stack beautifully and are very comfortable. Feel confident in your purchase. Hope this was helpful. January 28, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by duceglory Love these chaise lounges Purchased these as a replacement for the same set we purchased 4 years ago. These took a constant beating in the Florida sun, and nearly year-round use. And you can't beat the price for a stylish and comfortable lounger. Decided to buy the cover this time to see if we can get even more use out of the new ones. November 23, 2015

Rated 5 out of 5 by pumpkinwitch Excellent purchase! I purchased these for my pool deck and they look great and are also very comfortable.

We purchased these chairs several years ago and LOVE THEM!!! They have held up in the South Florida sun very well. However, recently, a small hole has developed where you lay your feet on one of the lounges. How can I repair this? Is there some sort of patch I can purchase? Is there a place I can bring it for repair before the hole gets bigger? Thanks!

TNA leader R. Sampanthan cautioned that any attempt to repeal the 13th Amendment to the Constitution could harm and irreparable damage to the countrys future. He made this remark at the fifth day of the second reading of the budget, and said no one should try to modify or nullify the 13th Amendment as it would cause more problems in future. The 13th Amendment was the only provision that recognized the diversity of the country to a certain extent, he said. He also said that the government should abolish the provincial council system, which swallow a huge amount of money to maintain them.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -
It is a busy time for the Alabama Gymnastics team, and that hectic pace continues through the coming weekend.
On Thursday night, coaches Sarah and David Patterson were honored by Dean J. Michael Hardin and the Culverhouse College of Commerce and Business Administration's Board of Visitors in Birmingham, Ala. The Pattersons were recognized for 34 years of service to the University and for producing teams that consistently post the highest grade point averages among all teams at UA, the SEC and nationwide, as well as some of C&BA's top student, including All-American Kassi Price, who earned Austen Cup in 2009, the highest honor afforded a C&BA student.
Then, following Friday's practice, the team is ready for a full day on Saturday. The Tide will start Saturday off with an open practice Saturday from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. in the Frances Smith Practice Facility, located on the south end of Coleman Coliseum. The public is welcome to come and get a sneak peak of the Tide in action.
Then, Saturday night, the gymnasts, coaches and staff will make their second trip to Bryant-Denny Stadium in as many years to receive national championship rings in front of 101,821 fans. The team will be honored at halftime of the Alabama-Mississippi football game. It will mark the 11th time that a Patterson-coached team has taken part in a ring ceremony during an Alabama football game.
Alabama posted a 3.55 team grade point average last year on the way to its sixth NCAA title. The last three times the Tide has won national titles (2012, 2011 and 2002), the team has produced a GPAs over 3.5.

In today's American society Selfies have become all the rage. Selfies are pictures taken of oneself for public display on social networks.
If America took a Selfie, there would be a constant recurring image captured in too many of the photos. Depending on the angle of the camera and surrounding activities, this permeating prototype will either dominate or subjugate the humans in the photo.
America's Selfies would be marred by the visual impact of firearms.
For this Examiner, the following true incidents personify some brief images in America's Selfie social network. Fictitious names have been used in order to maintain confidentiality agreements.
Betty adopts a girl
Betty was walking down the street in Atlanta, GA. Shots were fired from a passing car. Betty was struck in the back and her spine was severed. Betty has been confined to a wheel chair ever since.
Realizing that she would never be able to have a children, Betty adopted a little girl and has fought to maintain her day to day going-ons as normal as possible.
Willie will never father children
Willie was 21 years old when he was struck down by gunfire during a gang shoot out in Detroit.
On this particular occasion Willie insisted that he was not in direct conflict with the two battling gangs--but, he was in the wrong place at the wrong time and he did have a history of "beefing" with one of the groups.
Willie recalls lying in the grass with his face buried in the ground's moisture. He bobs his head back and forth when he retells the part about hearing bullets whiz past his head. After the shooting ceased he tried to roll over on his back but he could not.
His next recollection about the incident was being on a gurney in the hospital, having his bloody clothes cut off of him, hollering for pain medication as the emergency room staff poked fingers in the bullets holds that riddled his body while he went in and out of consciousness.
Willie also sustained a spinal cord injury that placed him in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. While in rehab, Willie met a young male who was also confined to a wheelchair after being shot in the back.
The other young man eventually shot himself in the head because he could not live the rest of his life without the use of his limbs.
Willie graphically details how the smell of urine can overtake someone confined to a wheelchair if they do not change their "pee bag" on a regular basis. He describes the extreme anger that one must channel in other directions in order to combat depression and suicidal thoughts. He will never be able to father children.
Johnny destroys the family
Johnny lived in a house with an extended family on the Westside of Detroit. He often had major arguments with his nephew who slept in the attic. After one night of bitter arguing, Johnny waited until his nephew went to sleep. Johnny crept up the stairs, and closed the attic door.
He put a pillow over his nephew's face and placed a gun on top of the pillow and pulled the trigger. As Johnny dragged the body down the stairs, his mother heard the thumping of her grandson's dead weight as his body hit each stair. To her extreme horror, she watched her son trying to conceal the body of her grandson in a carpet that was soaked with blood.
Nadine and Donald break up
Nadine and her husband Donald separated. Donald filed for divorce and moved in with his newly found female friend in Ecorse, MI.
Nadine and Donald had two children together and Nadine had a son prior to marrying Donald. Nadine and Donald kept guns in their home and were not especially mindful about gun safety.
Nadine told her son to call his step father and tell him that "Ma-ma left us home alone and we are hungry". When Donald attempted to enter the house Nadine shot him in the face. Donald's funeral was closed casket.
Clyde stays out of jail
Clyde knew that his wife had been unfaithful. He was chasing her down a road in Little Rock, Ark. waving his pistol in the air telling her that, "You are a dead b…."!
His wife fell to the ground getting down on her knees crying, begging him to spare her life. Clyde put the gun to her head and the gun misfired three times. At that moment Clyde started to sob and threw the gun into a nearby lake.
In hindsight Clyde was very grateful that the gun misfired. He was emotionally charged and extremely enraged. Yet, he also recalls thinking that he might end up in jail for the rest of his life, or face a lengthy trial pleading insanity because of a cheating wife. Neither scenario appealed to him nor he thanked "God Almighty" for sparing his life and hers.
Clyde divorced his cheating wife and has never put a gun in his hand again. He knows that guns in the hands of some people translate into a lifetime of regrets and he literally trembles when he realizes what might have been.
We are a gun toting nation and with every passing year Americans are obtaining more privileges to carry concealed and unconcealed weapons. Mass shootings occur every few years and the nation goes belly up with shock for a few months. Sandy Hook could not even slow down the nation's race to bear arms.
There is no common medium
Many homeowners keep firearms in their homes in order to protect life and property. Likewise, anyone who breaks into and enters another's' home should prepare to die. No one should never, ever, break into a home with the purpose of stealing and causing harm to the inhabitants.
Ever since the Second Amendment to the Constitution was printed on paper there has been an ongoing debate over the meaning and interpretation of the Amendment with particular confusion over the introductory clause. Most gun advocates feel that the "right to bear arms" is a seamless invitation with unlimited legal justifications to shoot and kill.
Make no mistake about it, the killing of each American is a death sentence for America.
Be that as it may, where are you on the nation's Selfie? Is your camera poised to aim or would you rather shoot?

This fall promises to be a very exciting one in terms of new music releases. FM radio gods Pink Floyd announced that they will definitely release a new album, and Wayne Coyne confirmed a new Flaming Lips disc as well.
Tentatively titled The Endless River, the album is purported to be the band's first exercise in ambient territory. It will include tracks recorded during the sessions of Pink Floyd's The Division Bell (released two decades ago), as well as pieces written by and/or featuring band member Richard Wright prior to his death in 2008. This year also saw the release of an expanded box-set of The Division Bell to coincide with the anniversary of that recording. David Gilmour has tapped musician/former Roxy Music guitarist Phil Manzanera to produce, with guest turns by Youth (Kate Bush, Killing Joke, Paul McCartney) and engineer Andy Jackson.
For fans of Pink Floyd, this should come as neither a stretch or surprise: ambient textures have graced the grooves of their most popular works, from Meddle to Dark Side Of The Moon to Animals. What remains to be seen (or rather, heard) is whether this will be a bona fide album, or an assemblage of "filler" that didn't (or wouldn't) find it's way on any album proper. Still, it will be (new) music to our ears.
Meanwhile, alt-rockers The Flaming Lips have been teasing us with the possibility of a Sgt. Pepper tribute album, ever since the group collaborated with Sean Lennon and the irascible Miley Cyrus for a psychedelic freak-out of a cover of "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds" on Late Night With David Letterman back in February. Last week, frontman Wayne Coyne took to his Instagram account to post an image of the track listing (see link). In addition to Cyrus, the album will feature turns by Moby, My Morning Jacket, Tegan and Sara, Grace Potter and Tool/A Perfect Circle singer James Maynard Keenan. How long before Cyrus asks Coyne to write her a new tune? Inquiring minds want to know.

College Hockey:New Hampshire blanks Massachusetts
DigGirolamo stops 19 for Wildcats
DURHAM, N.H. — Matt DiGirolamo stormed onto the scene in a big way last weekend. Last night, he showed he's here to stay.
New Hampshire's junior goalie, making his 11th career start, posted the first shutout of his career, helping the No. 9 Wildcats blank winless Massachusetts, 3-0.
UNH (5-1-2) was in control all game, thanks to three second period power-play goals and another stellar night from DiGirolamo.
"That was a nice shutout by Matt," UNH coach Dick Umile said. "He's coming up with saves at the right times for us."
DiGirolamo was named Hockey East's Defensive Player of the Week last weekend after limiting No. 4 Boston College and Mass.-Lowell to one goal apiece.
He one-upped that performance tonight, helping produce UNH's first shutout in 14 games dating back to last season. The junior goaltender stopped all 19 shots he faced and posted what may be the save of the year.
The second period save came after defenseman Damon Kipp whiffed on a check, setting up a UMass two-on-one.
Peter DeAngelo looked to have a sure goal after receiving a crisp pass on a one-timer at the doorstep, but DiGirolamo flew across the crease, legs first, and turned away the golden Minutemen opportunity.
"You've always got to be ready to make the big save," DiGirolamo said. "I saw him open up to pass and I just dove across. After we got up 3-0, I didn't have to face to many tough shots."
Phil DeSimone put home the prettiest goal of the night on a tic-tac-toe sequence that gave UNH the 3-0 lead. Brett Kostolansky sent a pass from the point to Paul Thompson at the right doorstep, who one-timed a pass to DeSimone at the left doorstep, who lit the lamp just over six minutes into the second.
"That's as well as I've seen our power play move the puck," Umile said. "That was just a great play. We always say either you have to move, or the puck has to move; the puck moved there."
Senior captain Mike Sislo put home his fourth goal of the season on a slap shot from the left slot.
The shot came after Blake Kessel whiffed on a slap shot in front of the net, sending the puck sputtering to Sislo's stick during the five-on-three advantage.
"Sometimes you need the break; on that play, we got the break," Sislo said. "We were really clicking out there. We took advantage of the power play tonight."
Damon Kipp buried a rebound to give the Wildcats a 2-0 lead.
All three UNH goals came off the power play in a span of five minutes.
"Our power play won the game for us in the second period," Umile said. "Our special teams made plays tonight."
UNH's special teams came up big on the penalty kill too, allowing just two shots on six Minutemen power plays, and DiGirolamo was there for both of those en route to 19 saves.
Massachusetts freshman Jeff Teglia provided a bright spot for the Minutemen, stopping 35 of the 38 shots he faced, including a breakaway and multiple one-time chances.
"Teglia played really solid," UMass coach Don 'Toot' Cahoon said. "He kept us in the game. He demonstrated a great ability to battle and compete. But UNH took us to school in the second period with their power play."
The story was DigGirolamo who, earlier in the week, drew comparisons from Umile to former Wildcats great Kevin Regan.
"I feel pretty good," the goaltender said. "It's our team that's playing well defensively. They're getting sticks on sticks and stopping shots which makes me look good."
The teams meet again tomorrow at 7 p.m.

Gillette Castle and Chester, CT
Gillette Castle in East Haddam, Connecticut, is amazing. From a distance, it looks like a medieval sand castle, dribbled on top of a cliff.
Did you ever turn a corner and suddenly feel like you've driven off the map? Discovered your own little patch of unspoiled turf?
It's happened to me in Spain once or twice, and Scotland, too, backing up on a long dirt road. Where I got the feeling, just for a second, that nobody else knew about this place. How great is that.
Weirdly, I had that sensation driving into Chester, Connecticut.
And while that is so clearly NOT the case—Chester's only a couple of hours from NYC by train, after all—the beauty of this little burg is that it succeeds in giving that impression.
While at the same time serving up robusto cappuccino and dangling some nervy little shops and restaurants at your pocketbook. Plus there's a cool ferry just minutes from town that crosses the Connecticut River and drops you at the foot of a crazy, Gaudi-like stone castle teetering on the tip-top of a precipice.
Pretty fine entertainment for a sunny afternoon.
So after our previous evening at the Madison Beach Hotel, with a crow's nest view of the Long Island Sound,
we skedaddled off to Chester, a pleasant 30-minute drive away. Once in town, we hit Simon's Marketplace, a gourmet general store;
then, cup in hand, we strolled past Restaurant L&E (contemporary French, "excellent eel," says the NY Times), Pattaconk 1850 Bar &Grill (upscale pub grub), and River Tavern (brick chic). Plenty of dining options—definitely not back-road cuisine.
Ducked into a few pretty shops, but blue skies lured us on to the Chester-Hadlyme Ferry, a "historical landmark" that's been operating for over 200 years (it was used during the American Revolution), and is definitely the most fun way to reach Gillette Castle.
A budget-travel $3 ferry ride later (car rate, but rates are doubling—walkers will now pay a whole $2), with the castle looming ever nearer, we debarked the Selden III after our 5-minute boat trip and began the vertiginous ascent (there's a driving road, too, but the climb is fun, and over quickly).
The castle is amazing. From a distance, it looks like a medieval sand castle, dribbled on top of a cliff.
Up close, it's a handmade work of art, with no uniformity, and plenty of crooked lines and unmatched stones. It jigs and jags and meanders and soars.
It's living and breathing, and speaking of breath, the views of the Connecticut River from the terrace will certainly take it away.
The story of the castle is almost as good as its looks.
It was designed and built by William Gillette in 1914, who portrayed Sherlock Holmes on stage for over 30 years. An inventor as well, he tinkered with the insides as much as the outsides, designing most of its contents, and taking 25 years to complete the 24-room mansion, raised from local fieldstone.
With no heirs, his will stipulated that the estate could not go to a "blithering sap-head who has no conception of where he is or with what surrounded." The state took over the property in 1943—there are hiking trails encircling the castle like webs of time.
A definite off-the-map day….
Have you ever visited Gillette Castle?

US Dollar Index Testing Last Summer's Highs and a Major Breakout Level
Cody Tafel
The euro is close to a major breakdown and should be sold on bounces back to the 1.30 level.
The US Dollar Index is testing the highs from last July, and so far, we seem to be stalling right below the major 84.25 breakout level. However, last Friday saw a weekly close above the breakout level, so I would imagine that once the Fed headlines are over tomorrow, it should be safe to start buying the US Dollar Index on pullbacks to the 83 level. Another weekly close above the 84.25 level opens the door all the way to 89, which is the high from the summer of 2010. Above 89, it is pretty much clear sailing straight to 100, so you can see why I still very much like the risk reward of this trade, even after the recent rally.
Click to enlarge
The euro is having an oversold bounce this week, and it is on the verge of a major breakdown, which would complete a head-and-shoulders topping pattern. This would be activated with a close below the 1.2750 level, and the downside target remains 1.20, which shows that there is still some nice risk reward in this trade. I would be selling any rallies in the euro, especially anything approaching the 1.30 level, as you have the 50-day and 200-day moving averages providing resistance there. See the chart below.
Click to enlarge
It seems like volatility is creeping back in under the surface of the market, and bonds, currencies, and commodities have all been seeing some pretty crazy moves. I would continue to manage risk and reduce excessive commodity exposure where necessary. Be careful out there…another strong leg higher in this US Dollar Index rally could really start to wreak havoc on some other markets!

Bio-inspired Miniature Jumping Robots
The goal of this project is to design miniature robots to mimic the jumping ability widely found in small animals such as fleas, grasshoppers, and frogs. With jumping, the robot can overcome large obstacles compared to its small size. We have built three generations of jumping robot. The latest generation is shown on the right.
The robot can repeatedly perform the following motion sequence: First of all, it can rotate on the ground to a desired jumping direction. After that, it can charge energy to springs and self-right from the landing posture simultaneously. Then the robot jumps into the air by instantly releasing the energy stored in the spring. Finally, the robot lands on the ground, and the next motion cycle starts.
The robot has a maximum size 6.5 centimeter and a mass 22.3 gram. With a take-off angle 75º, the average jumping height is 0.9 meter. The following two videos show the robot in action.

It may be a heat wave right now, but one thing the weather has taught us is that it's inconsistent. Winter weather is sure to be right around the corner. The winter weather doesn't have to derail your calorie burn. There are several options to torch tons of calories indoors.
At the gym:
It's an obvious choice to choose a cardio machine to burn calories on the days you can't get active outdoors. But which one burns the most?
Running on the treadmill at 6 mph for 30 minutes burns around 350 calories, while the Stair Stepper, bicycle, elliptical and tread climber burn about 300 in half an hour.
For more calorie burn at the gym, try an exercise class. By taking an hour long class versus logging 30 minutes on a machine, you'll naturally burn more calories by working out longer, but the time should fly by quicker. If you're looking for a big calorie burn, try a step or cardio kickboxing class. Both burn between 700-800 calories per hour and depending on the intensity, some can burn up to 1,000 calories in an hour.
At home:
If the weather is so treacherous that you can't even make it to a gym (or you just don't want to brave the elements), you need an at-home workout program that can work you just as hard, if not harder, than any gym or personal trainer could.
For the biggest calorie burn, try Shaun T's "Insanity" or Chalene Johnson's "Turbo Fire". Most people monitoring calorie burn during these programs report burning between 300-1000 calories. With programs like these, the calorie burn doesn't stop there. Both utilize the concept of high intensity interval training to keep your heart rate high and keep your body burning calories for hours, even days, after your workout.
Bring your yoga class to your living room with the Biggest Loser trainers. If Jillian Michael's is your style, try her Yoga DVD "Yoga Meltdown". If you prefer Bob Harper, try his "Inside Out Method: Yoga for the Warrior". Both of these yoga DVD's are designed to get your heart rate up and scorch calories.
If you don't have a workout program at home, make sure you have at least a jump rope. Simply alternate jump roping with butt kicks (essentially jogging in place) and high knees for half an hour to burn about 350 calories.
Purchase or view Insanity and Turbo Fire at www.beachbodycoach.com/teamchloe
Purchase Yoga Meltdown and Yoga for the Warrior at www.walmart.com or www.amazon.com or at your local retailer.
*Calories burned are approximate and are based on a 150-pound person. Your actual calories burned will vary based on several factors, such as age, weight and intensity level.

Bed Stuy Quadruple Shooting Kills One, Wounds 13-Year-Old Critically
A beef between gangs from rival projects.
Gentrifying Bed Stuy now has apartments going for $1 million, and the house from Spike Lee's Crooklyn recently sold for $1.7 million, but as a New York Times report on a quadruple shooting there reminds us, parts of the neighborhood are still pretty darned rough. The shooting at the Marcy Houses on Saturday night killed one 18-year-old and wounded three other teenagers, including a 13-year-old still in critical condition. It stemmed from a "dispute between gangs from rival housing projects," the Times reports. But it's not clear exactly what that was about: "Such battles between teenagers — which the police say is often over territory and respect rather than drugs or money — account for many of the city's shootings." Police have a suspect in mind, but one resident sounded resigned to the repeating violence: "The only thing that changes is the faces."

More Than a Side Dish: 3 Delicious Cauliflower Recipes
By Vivian Gomez for HellaWella.com
Poor cauliflower, so underrated and unfairly relegated to side dish status, falsely accused of being bland, boring and banal.
But cauliflower's understated flavor lends itself to combining quite well with other ingredients. Take it out of the side-dish-lines and make it the star of its own entree. Take a look at these three recipes, which are sure to win over your taste buds.
Roasted Cauliflower Pasta
Roast 3 cups of cauliflower florets in no more than 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Chop up two shallots or a small white onion — half if it's large and you're not keen on onions — and two garlic cloves. Throw in some sundried tomatoes, and add salt and pepper to taste. Mix in with your favorite pasta and crumble some feta over it, letting it melt slightly before removing from heat and serving.
You can even steam some chopped spinach and add it before you add the feta. One recipe even suggests poaching an egg and throwing it on top of the finished dish. My mom used to top off Colombian rice and beans with a fried egg when I was little, rendering me a fan for life. But I've never tried it with pasta until now. I may be be biased, therefore, when I say: Nom!
Cauliflower and Cheese
Want to avoid the pasta altogether, but in the mood for some homemade comfort food? Move over, shells and elbow macaroni. Grate 2 cups of the cheese of your choice. I went with Double Gloucester the last time I made this because it's sharp and packed with flavor. Melt the cheese and thicken with 2 tablespoons of flour if you prefer a thicker sauce. One will do if you prefer thinner sauce.
I steamed my cauliflower florets and then just mixed with the cheese sauce when I was ready to serve. It can be popped in the oven, like mac and cheese, but without the extra calories that the pasta gives you. After you mix the cauliflower in the cheese sauce, put in an oven-safe dish, grate some more cheese on top and pop it in the oven for 10 to 15 minutes or until the top is browned.
Cauliflower Pancakes
You heard me correctly. I found a recipeand made some changes to appease my dining companion. I took one head of cauliflower, cut it up into florets and steamed them until I could pierce them easily with my fork. Then I mashed them up and added 1/2 cup of grated Double Gloucester cheese, 1/2 cup of breadcrumbs, 2 large eggs, salt and pepper to taste.
Form the mixture into pancake patties and cook them for no more than three minutes on either side on griddle or pan. You can do this in a bit of olive oil, use cooking spray or lightly coat with unsalted butter. The recipe yields eight pancakes and at least one "wow!"

Expect that to change Saturday when Wyoming visits Colorado's Folsom Field, where they're likely to see a lot of each other - but under very different circumstances.
Brown, a CU defensive back, and Benjamin, who is expected to be Wyoming's starting quarterback, were teammates for a season (Brown was a senior, Benjamin a sophomore) at South Mountain High School in Phoenix.
"We were pretty good friends in high school, but I lost a little contact when I came out here for college," Brown recalled. "I talked to him a couple of weeks ago, asked him how it was going before the season - things like that."
When Brown, now a junior at CU, entered college, Benjamin had a couple of high school years remaining. Upon graduating from South Mountain, Benjamin enrolled at nearby Phoenix College, where last season he was National Junior College Athletic Association's Region I offensive player of the year and was an honorable mention All-America selection.
His JUCO statistics (192-of-355 passing for 2,391 yards and 25 touchdowns with five interceptions) and potential drew a scholarship offer from new Wyoming coach Dave Christensen, who believed Benjamin could direct the spread, up-tempo offense that Christensen utilized with great success (ask CU) as Missouri's offensive coordinator.
Benjamin, a 6-foot-2, 205-pounder who also was pursued by Utah and Idaho, was the only JUCO signee in Christensen's first recruiting class, but not the only quarterback. Wyoming also signed Austyn Carta-Samuels, of Bellarmine Prep in San Jose, Calif. He also was recruited by, among others, Air Force, Oregon, Pittsburgh, Purdue, UCLA and Utah.
Benjamin and Carta-Samuels each played in the first two weeks of the season as the Cowboys defeated Weber State, 29-22, and lost to No. 2 Texas, 41-10.
Benjamin's two-game stats: 19 carries for 85 yards; 24-for-52 passing for 207 yards.
Carta-Samuels' numbers: 10 carries, 14 yards; 15-for-29 passing for 169 yards.
Neither QB has thrown a touchdown pass nor an interception, but no TD passes in two games might be hard to digest for Christensen, who had former Mizzou record-setters Chase Daniel (QB) and Jeremy Maclin (WR) in one of the Big 12 Conference's most prolific offenses.
In Laramie, Christensen initially might be lacking the firepower he's accustomed to wielding, but his system hasn't changed. CU remembers it as the stuff of nightmares; over the past two seasons, Christensen and the Tigers thoroughly embarrassed the Buffs, flogging them 55-10 in 2007 and 58-0 in 2008.
"They're Missouri," CU secondary coach Greg Brown said of Wyoming's offensive scheme under Christensen. "They're extremely similar to what he was doing at Missouri and had so much success with."
Jalil Brown has no doubt that given time Benjamin can be the QB Christensen wants directing Wyoming's offense.
"He's a really good player . . . athletic in the pocket and can throw the ball," Jalil Brown said. "He's just pretty sound all around.
"He told me he was going to be starting and that he was playing pretty well. And from what I hear, he's pretty mobile still and they run him."
That it is Christensen's first season on the job (his first head coaching job, too) and Daniel, Maclin and crew aren't on the Cowboys roster is no reason for CU defensive coordinator Ron Collins to rejoice.
"You know what? To us right now, every team (CU faces) is the best team in the country," Collins said. "We've got to approach it like that.
Going into this, we're not in any position to say they're Wyoming as opposed to Missouri because they're a good team - they play good football.
"They're from a good conference and we've got to be able to respect those guys and know they're going to be good coming in here."
When your defense is allowing 500 yards and 38.5 points a game, what other approach is there?
BUFF BITS: CU coach Dan Hawkins said he believes receiver Markques Simas, who was suspended for the first two games, will return Saturday. "We'll see; he's still nursing that leg (injury), but we'll see," Hawkins said on Monday's Big 12 teleconference . . . . He also reiterated that quarterback Cody Hawkins, who suffered a mild concussion in the Toledo loss, "is fine." . . . . Dan Hawkins called the mental state of his 0-2 team "great . . . they practiced hard Sunday morning." As for not having the start anyone anticipated, he said, "We've been through this before as coaches, players . . . everybody drops a game here or there." He said the Buffs were "finding themselves" on offense and on special teams and must "clean up a couple of things" on defense. "There's a lot of football left." . . . . The Buffs return to practice on Tuesday afternoon.

My friend tried to get me into it. Heck, a lot of people did. And I loved the cast. I loved the movie that came after it by Universal. But I didn't like the show. The episode I saw, was the 'first' episode. The Train Job, or whatever it was. What I didn't see was the original Pilot. For those who know what I'm talking about, you know what a crime that is to a serial television show and to air it out of order or to just not air it at all. In Firefly's case, this was very much true.
With Netflix saying the series is only available until April 1rst, 2011 for streaming, you bet sure as hell I was going to watch the show before it became unavailable again.
And so I watched it.
As always Joss Whedon and his crew of writers and actors create such an amazing show. It makes me sad that the show didn't live on further in television seasons or (more) films.
I honestly can't say much about the show, the closest thing I can say that could be taken negatively, which isn't meant that way, is that the show literally feels like Joss Whedon created character sheets, and gave each writer a sheet and said, 'let's do a table-top RPG and whatever happens here, we'll make into an episode of television'. For me, I love that stuff, so the show was a breath of fresh air. For those who don't dig RPG's, I think there is plenty to like here, just make sure that you then see the film SERENITY exactly after that, so you know how the story ends.
Before I end this article, if you want the hardsell, I'll give it a go.
CASTLE'S Nathan Fillion plays Captain Mal Reynolds, who leads those on the vessel Serenity. Those along for the ride are First mate Zoe (Gina Torres), her husband and the pilot of the firefly-class-brand starship, Wash (Alan Tudyk). We also have 'companion' Inara, (V's Morena Baccarin), and merc-for-permanent-hire Jayne (Adam Baldwin) and the adorable but blunt ship mechanic Jaylee (Jewel Staite).
The Captain and Zoe are veterans of the Unification War, having fought on the losing side. It's a dangerous time in the galaxy. The big-bad in this case is a large government, sort of like 'The Federation' in Star Trek, but in a what-if universe, whereas this federation is called "The Alliance", and has a bit of the bite from the Star Wars' Empire. Not only is the Alliance a constant threat for smuggling, which is what Mal and his crew of the firefly-class ship Serenity mostly handle, there is a constant threat of other low-lifes, deadly passengers, and something else called 'Reavers', a group of humans that rumored to travel so far gone into the 'outer reaches of space' that they became 'in-human'. (Mal says if you're lucky, they will rape you, kill you, skin you, and eat you in that order.) And then there are the new shipmates that the crew picks up, Shepard Book (Ron Glass), a preacher, and two college-aged kids, Simon and River, with a dark past, and possibly the Alliance after them.
A great show, worth it definitely on DVD and you can view all 14-episodes now if you have NETFLIX Streaming until April 1rst, 2011.

Today, I went on another date with a guy I've had a crush on for a long time. Afterwards, we went back to my place for the first time and things got heated. While taking my pants off, he recoiled and asked if I thought it was still No Shave November. FML

Today, feeling lonely after my recent breakup, I put on my nicest clothes and went out clubbing with a few friends. I brought a guy back to my place, and we got intimate. It was going well, until he took off my push-up bra, then panicked and drunkenly asked, "Where'd they go?!" FML

Today, I was debating which hurts more: child-birth or a kick to the testicles. Some guy spouted the old urban legend that a nut-kick is 9000 "dels", and giving birth is 57, so I proved that no such measurement of pain exists. His comeback was to sucker-punch me to the floor. FML

Today, as usual, my cat was sleeping on my stomach. I couldn't fall asleep so I delicately picked him up and put him down next to me. He got up, hopped back onto me, gave me a slap and then went back to sleep on my stomach. I didn't dare move all night. FML

Today, I was getting a haircut. The lady accusingly told me she'd have to thoroughly wash my hair before she started, as it was way too greasy to cut through. FML

Today, after a long, horrible day at work and some fighting with my family and my girlfriend, I decided to cheer myself up by going to McDonald's for a change. I burst into tears when the cashier told me they couldn't make me a Mars McFlurry because they'd run out of ingredients. FML

Today, I met my girlfriend's parents for the first time. In the entrance way I felt a slight tugging on my jeans. Used to my Doberman tugging when he wants to play, I shoved hard with my foot. I successfully punted their Chihuahua off the ground and into the next room where it landed with a thud. FML

As the Olympics are fast approaching Sochi, Russia is on most of the world's mind. Russia will be the host of the Olympic Games for the first time since the break up of the Soviet Union. The last Olympics held within Russian borders were the 1980 Winter Games in Moscow.
Sochi is a city in Krasnodar Krai, Russia located on the coast of the Black Sea. It is one of very few places in Russia with a subtropical climate, experiencing warm summers and mild winters. Average temperatures for a typical Sochi winter are in the 50 degree Fahrenheit range. The city itself stretches 90 miles along the black sea making it the second longest city in the world.
Sochi will be the warmest city to host the Olympic Winter Games. While most of the world is shoveling away at the snow in their driveway and praying for sunshine, Sochi will be asking for the opposite. Fortunately, the northern Greater Caucasus Mountain Range is a bit cooler, only an hour away from Sochi, and will be hosting most of the outdoor events. It has been said that The Russian Government will have spent over 51 billion dollars on these Olympic games, making them the most expensive Olympics to date.
By hosting The Winter Olympics, President Putin believes Russia will establish itself as a tourist destination. Sochi could be your next travel destination. It is located by the sea and by the mountains making it ideal for late spring travel. It has beautiful weather, great sights, and can be quite relaxing once the city has finished hosting the winter games!
Planning a vacation anytime soon? As you watch the Sochi games these next two weeks, keep Russia in mind!
-Sochi is only a 37 hour train ride from beautiful Moscow!
