No electrons were harmed.
For over 35 years, Roy Underhill has shared his love of American woodcraft. Using only the hand tools of early America, Roy proves that woodworking doesn't have to be noisy, dangerous or expensive. His insights into the principles of the craft reveal the enduring relationship between tools and material — between the human hand and the creations of culture. 142 episodes of the Woodwright's Shop is available free of charge from PBS. Each episode features construction of a woodworking project using traditional methods or a lesson on use of a traditional tool or technique. [more inside]
Everybody celebrates the human body

This is the hand, the hand that saves
"The divers had already pulled up four bodies. So when a hand appeared on the TV screen Walker was monitoring in the rescue boat, showing what the diver in the Jascon saw, everybody assumed it was another corpse." Harrison Odjegba Okene survived three days of darkness and isolation when he was trapped in a sunken tugboat, breathing from an air bubble and listening to the sounds of his shipmates being eaten by fish. His amazing rescue hit the news this spring. (Previously.) The actual video of his rescue has now been widely distributed. Short version. Long version, with an appropriate but inappropriate piece of jaunty music at the end.

"You can't break up with me, I've got Hand."
Get a grip on this. "It turns out that opposable thumbs aren't critical for getting a good grip. Neither are fingers. Scientists have created a robotic arm that can do everything from serve drinks to draw pictures even though it has no digits. Their robotic hand, which they describe online today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, is a thin rubber sack filled with coffee grains or small glass spheres. When this hand comes in contact with an object, a small pipe sucks air from the sack, causing it to contract and mold to the object's shape. The contraction is small—a mere 1% change in volume–but was enough to grab most objects the researchers tested." Inside the balloon hand. The robotic mitt. Via: Sciencemag.org

Press button, wipe hands on pants ... NOT! FINALLY someone has done something about those crappy hand driers that never really worked in the first place. I encountered my first XLERATOR in the men's room of my local pool hall the other night. For a moment I feared it would blow the flesh off my tender hands. But no flesh-tearing was to occur; it performed its intended function flawlessly in about 10 seconds. My profound and everlasting gratitude to its inventor. Best news ever? Do I need to get a life?

Arizona State Sun Devils
ASU Hoops: Changing to an uptempo approach?
If you've watched Arizona State basketball during the Herb Sendek coaching era, one thing has probably stood out to you. That, of course, being the deliberate tempo with which the Sun Devils operated on offense.
Paired with Sendek's matchup-zone defense, the Sun Devils played a slow-down style of offense designed to keep the score down and give ASU a chance to "win ugly."
That's about to change.
"I would be hard-pressed to believe that anybody will push the ball faster than Arizona State, outside of maybe an outlier, you know someone who chooses to play like Paul Westhead or something of that nature," Sendek announced during the team's annual media day in Tempe Tuesday.
Last season, Sendek's team ranked tied for 299th in the nation (out of 338 teams) in scoring offense, putting up an average of just 61 points per game, so such a proclamation can only be considered bold.
The big reason for Sendek's view on tempo changing is the presence of freshman guard Jahii Carson. The highly-recruited star from Mesa High School had to sit out the entire 2011-12 campaign after being ruled academically ineligible, although he was allowed to practice with the team. Carson averaged 32.2 points and 6.6 assists per game during his senior season.
"I think I'm one of the fastest guys in the country and with the offense that coach is putting in, I think I'm going to flourish in that offense," Carson said. "I think everybody's looking forward to pushing the ball up the court and beating the defense down and scoring easy buckets."
Sun Devil fans have anxiously awaited Carson's arrival on the court, especially during a trying 10-21 season that saw ASU finish 10th in the Pac-12. It was equally difficult for Carson to sit out and watch, but his head coach was impressed with the way he conducted himself.
"I think Jahii handled a very challenging circumstance exceptionally well with a lot of grace and a lot of dignity," Sendek said. "To be put in the public light it the way that he was and to handle it with the grace that he did, to me, was really impressive."
Now that he's academically eligible, Carson can't wait to get going.
"Oh, I'm ready," he said. "I wish the game was tomorrow. I'm chomping at the bit, ready to go out there and get it."

Two sets of experiments with irregular channels were designed and carried out in order to clarify some aspects of resistance to flow in irregular channels and to separate losses due to boundary shear from those caused by the irregularities in the flow cross-section ("form" losses).
It is demonstrated that a certain type of irregularity, in which the flow cross-section remains constant or nearly so, does not produce any "form" loss. This type of irregularity is the one in which any change in the width of the channel is associated with a change in the elevation of channel bed (change in depth of flow) such that the flow cross-section remains the same, or nearly so, through the irregularity. However, other types of irregularities associated with rapid changes in flow cross-section, in which the flow cross-section does not remain constant through the irregularity, produced "form" losses which accounted for up to 92% of the total loss in the channel.

Sometimes it seems like every day is an exercise in balancing the number of employees on hand. One day we will have two people call in sick on top of two others who had scheduled vacation days and the office will be hectic and stressful. On another day, a doctor will be off and the staff on duty will be standing around with nothing to do. Here are some tips for adjusting your staff on any given day so you are close to the proper number.
What is the proper number?
This article will concentrate on ways to adjust the number of employees on hand based on unusual circumstances, assuming your level of staffing is correct in general. In other words, we can have an acute staff problem if several people call off work unexpectedly, or we could have a chronic staff problem if you have too few employees for the size of your practice. The correct staffing level is best determined by observing the practice in action over time and we should also consider other aspects like the overall marketing strategy and pricing philosophy of the practice. There is always an ebb and flow of activity in an eye care office, so owners and managers must accept that there will be times when a patient has to wait a short period and there will be times when employees are standing around chatting. Over time, there should not be too much of either situation.
There are some benchmarks that can be useful, but I consider these as rules of thumb that must be refined through practice observation.
Too many staff
Here are some ideas if you are faced with a day where you have too many employees on duty. If some of your staff is paid on an hourly basis, you could ask for volunteers who would like to go home.
Another way to approach the extra staff issue is to have plenty of projects and tasks to assign. There are probably many things that could help your practice that are not part of anyone's daily duties.
Too few staff
If patient services will suffer when staff members call off work, you can call other employees who are not scheduled to see if they wish to work. Obviously, such special requests should not occur too often or they will become annoyances for the employees and will adversely affect morale. But staff members who pitch in and help the practice when possible are generally highly regarded when it comes time for salary reviews. It doesn't hurt to ask, but we can't demand an employee work extra hours. Keep in mind that if an hourly employee exceeds a 40 hour work week, you should pay time and one half wages. Don't succumb to employees who want the extra hours and tell you they don't need time and a half. State law typically requires it and it's better to pay it than face a labor review later.
Here are a few other ideas:

Today is the end of November and the time for us to share the best articles we could find this month: news, how-to guides, discussions and popular downloads. Read on to find more about the goodies we've found.
The Best Tech Related News
As usual, we start with the most interesting articles and news we found this month:
Can Microsoft cure PC makers of the crapware habit? - this article talks about the big difference between computers sold by PC makers in their own shops and those sold in Microsoft Stores. Unlike your standard Windows PC, the computers bought in the Microsoft Stores come with what is being called the Microsoft Signature experience. This means no bloatware, trial-ware and all kinds of unwanted applications installed on your computer. You get a working Windows 7, with faster boot times and a much better user experience.
Windows 8 Failure Could Set Off Tech Industry Chain Reaction - Paul Thurrott makes a very interesting point in this article. In his view, "No matter how successful Windows 8 is for Microsoft... it will mark a major shift for the software giant. And this shift will have enormous repercussions on its customers and on the tech industry." Have you thought what it will mean for the whole industry, if Windows 8 turns out to be a failure?
25 "Worst Passwords" of 2011 Revealed - are you wondering how bad your password security habits are? Read this article and find out. If you use any of the passwords mentioned in this article, you really need to change your habits. Check out this guide to find out how: Password Security - Turn Your Dumb Habits Into Geek Habits.
Lean, mean consuming machine: the Nook Tablet reviewed - I bet most of our readers heard of the Amazon Kindle Fire launch. However, not that many people know about the Nook Tablet launch that followed shortly, from Barnes & Noble. The folks at Ars Technica took it for a test drive and noted that the Nook offers a better experience than the Kindle Fire. Read this detailed review to find out more.
The Best Tech Tips & Guides
For the next section, we look at the best tutorials and guides we could find on the websites of our competitors:
10 Awesome Q&A Sites to Answer Your Burning Questions - Are you searching for good websites where to find help to your most burning questions? Our friends from Guiding Tech are sharing some of the best websites where you could ask your questions and actually get answers, no matter the topic.
Ten tricks every Windows 7 power user should know - Ed Bott shares a few simple and effective tips for all Windows 7 users. Many of them are good and worth trying on your own computer.
2 Cool Tools to Find and Fix Missing Movie Subtitles In Your Movie Collection - If you are watching movies in a foreign language, and you are having trouble with the subtitles, these tools can help you fix them.
How to Find and Download Free eBooks For Your Kindle - Speaking of digital book reading devices - this guide helps you find lots of free eBooks you can read on your devices. Definitely worth reading!
How To Create a Portable USB Version of Microsoft Office Starter 2010 - If you need to take Microsoft Word and Excel 2010 on your USB memory stick, and have them available for handling documents, check out this guide from How-To Geek.
Should laptops remain plugged in when their battery is 100% charged? - This is a very interesting conversation on SuperUser. I'm pretty sure many of you had this question and... finally you can find some good answers and explanations which are based on reality and not myth.
The Best of 7 Tutorials
Before we close this month's episode, we would like to share with you this month's most popular articles. Surprisingly, there are no tutorials in our top 3 list:
Roundup of Software Uninstallers - Reviewing IObit vs Ashampoo vs Revo - This test of software uninstallers was a major hit this month. We put a lot of work into and it and we are happy to see it pay off. If you haven't read this article, you should definitely do so.
The Best Remaining Desktop Gadgets for Windows 7 - This roundup was published at the very end of October and it did not get the chance to become a "most-read" article that month. It did, however, become widely read this month and we decided to feature it now. If you want to know the best desktop gadgets that can still be found on the web, you should definitely look this article over.
Download the Dead Island Theme for Windows 7 - The Windows themes we share with our readers tend to be very popular. Not surprisingly, this month's theme is one of the most read items on 7 Tutorials.
We would like to share also some of our top articles from 2 years and 1 year ago. Our site has become old enough for us to be able to do this:
Command Prompt - Advanced Commands for System Information & Managing Active Tasks - Last year in November, we ran a series of interesting articles about the power of the Command Prompt. One of our best articles is about commands that help you manage active processes and tasks in Windows.
How to Customize Windows 7 Themes - Two years ago we were into helping users handle the basics of Windows 7. If you need a good guide on customizing your Windows 7 themes, read this article.
How to Customize Network Sharing Settings in Windows 7 - Speaking of basics, we were also showing how to best set network sharing on your computer, so that you can share files and folders on your home network without problems.

Just months after uTest's 5th birthday, I'm excited to share that we've reached another major milestone. This morning we announced that we've closed a $43MM E Round, led by Goldman Sachs. This brings our total funds raised to more than $80MM across five rounds.
This announcement has far-ranging implications for our company. Coming ahead of our upcoming rebrand to Applause – and the expanded vision and offering that it entails – this funding serves as a major validation for uTest's past and present and, even more so, for Applause's future. READ MORE

Senate housing reform measure moving steadily forward.
WASHINGTON — The Republican from Texas also earned praise from Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.).
WASHINGTON - NCUA Board nominee tells Senate committee he'll consider unintended consequences and promote transparency if confirmed.
A new Senate plan would insure and regulate mortgage backed securities like credit union deposits.
NCUA board hopeful will share the confirmation panel with three Federal Reserve Board nominees.
The complexity of reforming the secondary mortgage market, combined with its risk and Congress' inability to compromise, are the three reasons industry lobbyists and housing experts don't expect its completion in 2014.
With less than a year to go before the 2014 midterm elections, credit union trade organizations are focusing their attention on key Senate races.
Complexity, risk, congressional gridlock fingered in failure to reform Freddie, Fannie, FHFA this year.
NCUA board member also provides a sneak peek at what might be his last major conference speech in his current position.
CUNA and NAFCU both throw their support behind credit union supporters like Sen. Mark Udall (D-Colo.) and Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.).


text: Got out of work on the early side and saw clean and kind-of green on Void so I decided to hit up the pier for the second time in like three months. When I got there at 1530 I saw micro whiting coming over in the surf zone and heard about weakfish and baby bluefish with occasional nice cruisers about. I started throwing lead and caught a decent bonita at the T and then the guy next to me caught a nice sheapshead that appeared to have fallen for his jig. That was kind of it then so I headed back down to the surf where mullet and some other bait I actually could not identify were absolutely everywhere, only decked baby blues around there though. Left at 1800, place was deserted. IMG_2012resized.jpgIMG_2013resized.jpgIMG_2014resized.jpg

JC MSFL Goal of the Week: March 18
WINNER: - Ollie Craig (LM Lions A) - a goal of real quality. Captain Yoav Lebens fed the ball into the path of top-scorer Craig, who subsequently swiveled onto his right foot to crash the ball into the top right corner, leaving the goalkeeper firmly rooted to the spot
- Craig Edwards (FC Team A) - received the ball on the right flank bouncing from an acute angle 25 yards out half volleyed a rocket into the top corner to put Team back into the game
- Jonny Cutter (LM Lions B) - the most nonchalant goal you'll see. Back to goal in the box, ball comes over the top to him where he proceeds to scoop the ball with the outside of his foot , all in one touch and lob the advancing keeper
- Ashley Lawrence (SPEC FC) - Ricky Lawrence picked up the ball about 30 yards out and drove forward before playing a perfectly weighted ball to his brother Ashley to slot home a late equaliser with aplomb
- Ashley Burns (SPEC FC) - cometh the hour cometh the man. Craig Cohen's perfect corner was met with a thumping header to ensure SPEC signed off at home with a huge victory
- Josh Dagul (Brady B) - with the game against Temple Fortune B deadlocked at 2-2, the Brady player-manager beat three men and placed an exquisite chip over the keeper to set up a promotion-clinching victory
- Alex Bowman (LM Lions A) - a fine outside of the left foot finish past the oncoming keeper
- Paul Walker (Temple Fortune A) - there was a deadly silenced as the Fortune skipper turned and cracked home a stunning effort from 25 yards that whistled into the top corner

It appears that the implementation and use of a bedside electronic medical record in nursing homes can be a strategy to improve quality of care. Staff like using the bedside electronic medical record and believe it is beneficial. Information gleaned from this qualitative evaluation of four nursing homes that implemented complete electronic medical records and participated in a larger evaluation of the use of an electronic medical record will be useful to other nursing homes as they consider implementing bedside computing technology. Nursing home owners and administrators must be prepared to undertake a major change requiring many months of planning to successfully implement. Direct care staff will need support as they learn to use the equipment, especially for thefirst 6 to 12 months after implementation. There should be a careful plan for continuing education opportunities so that staff learn to properly use the software and can benefit from the technology. After 12 to 24 months, almost no one wants to return to the era of paper charting.

The Roman Catholic Diocese of Toledo remained steadfast in its support to move the Lathrop House during a meeting yesterday with an African-American group that asked it to hold off on doing anything until talks could be completed.
Keith Mitchell, a spokesman for Alpha Phi Boule, said the group asked Bishop Leonard Blair for a moratorium on moving the house in Sylvania that historians say was a safe house for runaway slaves.
But the bishop instead told the group to meet next week with the parish that wants to move house for an expansion project - St. Joseph, Mr. Mitchell said.
The diocese did not return a telephone call yesterday seeking comment on the meeting, but has maintained throughout the debate that it supports St. Joseph's plans with the city to move the house to a nearby park, where it can be run by the Metroparks District of the Toledo Area.

Smite Latest News
Hi-Rez Announces Smite: Tactics - A Turn-based Strategy With A Twist
Pressing forward with their plans to get in on just about every popular genre of the gaming industry, Hi-Rez Games used their latest Smite stream to announce a spin-off of its own MoBA title with Smite Tactics; a turn-based strategy title that uses - you guessed it - cards.
SMITE's Ultimate God Pack goes on sale tomorrow
Hi-Rez Studios has offered the "Ultimate God Pack" for their MOBA SMITE for awhile now, which is easily one of the best deals players can get on content in a MOBA game, but tomorrow the pack will be going on sale on Amazon, giving even more savings to players who have interest in getting all that SMITE has to offer.
Hi-Rez felt guilty about abandoning Tribes: Ascend
It might not have been the biggest news of the year, but Hi-Rez Studios return to Tribes: Ascend after over two years in hiatus was certainly one of the most surprising. A new patch is currently up on the game's Public Test Server, and is expected to roll out in full at some point soon.
As it turns out, Hi-Rez did feel a bit guilty about abandoning the multiplayer shooter in favour of working on its third-person MOBA Smite.
Hi-Rez Studios' third-person MOBA Smite is now available on Steam
Hi-Rez Studios' fun, action-focused MOBA Smite is now available to download and play via Steam. Servers are integrated, so players who choose Valve's platform will be able to connect and play with non-Steam users.
High-Rez Studios is raising funds for Nepalese earthquake victims with a new SMITE loot chest
Several video game developers have announced fund-raising initiatives to support the people of Nepal, after two devastating earthquakes struck the country in the space of a few weeks.
The latest to do so is SMITE developer High-Rez Studios, by adding a new Nepal Earthquake Relief Chest for players of the god-bashing (I mean that literally) action MOBA.

Many women often wonder just how it is that the cup size is determined. In fact for such an essential every day item many women are clueless about the history of the brassier. Here are some interesting historical facts about this woman's garment that has been around since the 1800s, let the mysteries be no more. If you have a B cup breast size in the 1930's it might not have been so easy to determine, below are some of the reasons why this is so.
The letters used to indicate the size of the brassier are related to the volume of the breast and a B cup breast typically weighs in at about 13 ounces. In order to accurately measure for a bra two measurements are taken. The band size which is the distance around the body is first recorded and then the distance around the fullest part of the bust is taken. Once both measurements have been taken the cup size is calculated through a simple subtraction of the bust distance minus the band distance. B cup breast tend to have a two inch difference in the measurements this is equivalent to 5 centimetres.
The question remains however of who came up with these lettered designations as it relates to breast sizes. When the bra was first invented it was clearly not norm for women to walk into any retail store and pick up the item of their choice. Purchasing a bra was far more complicated back then than it is now, imagine that. While women are able to wander through department stores and chose from a wide array of sizes and styles women had to be measured individually and be fitted for bras. The lingerie industry is now a billion dollar industry that caters to women all around the world and has made brands like Victoria's Secret billions in profits.
Prior to 1916 no one had used to word cup in relation to the brassier. It would take another sixteen years for the measurements to be linked to the alphabet by a company called S.H. Camp and company in October of 1932. At that time the letters started at A and ended at D. At that time the letters did not correlate to the volume of a woman's breast. Prior to the use of the alphabetic designation the sizes small medium and large applied with a B cup breast typically being represented by medium. It was not until 1950 that the concept of using letters to indicate the size of the brassier was transported across the Atlantic to Britain.
The history of the undergarment can closely be linked to the history of women and has evolved over many centuries. Women have used many methods to highlight their assets or hide them depending on the social policies affecting them. The brassier was typically associated with wealthier women; on average most women now own at least six bras. The modern type of brassieres that we are now accustomed to seeing, with straps that support the breast for better lift and hold, emerged in the early part of the twentieth century. Notable contributors to the modern design of bras are Amelia Bloomer and Dr Mary Edwards Walker.
Women who go under the knife to have their bust size increased for cosmetic reasons should undertake a lot of research before making a decision not only about the right surgeon to perform the procedure but also what increasing to a B cup breast size from an A-cup will mean. There are different types of materials used to carry out mammoplasty; which is the medical term used to describe plastic surgery on the breasts.
Breast augmentation was pioneered in the late 19th century by the German surgeon Vincenz Czerny. Czerny repaired a patient's breast using tissue from other parts of the body. The various types of materials used to perform modern breast augmentation are categorised by three types; saline solution, composite filler, and silicone gel. However before the latest technologies were developed doctors experimented with different types of materials including glass, ivory and ground rubber.
Surgical techniques will vary depending on the surgeon who performs the final operation but prior to the undertaking the patient should meet with the doctor to discuss what she is comfortable with and be given the best advice to mentally prepare her for surgery and what follows. A woman will have to go through post-surgery recovery and take into consideration the scaring that will be associated with surgery. It typically takes about 6 weeks for scarring to begin fading. Before unveiling her new B cup breast size a woman will need to see her doctor to ensure there are no post-operative complications.
Once a woman has her new breasts she will need to go shopping for new B cup breast sized bras that will compliment her new shape. Most women normally feel more confident shopping for brassieres once they have increased their bust size. This confidence will also affect her sexuality as her new B cup breast size or larger will perhaps garner more attention from men and from her partner if she has one.
On a more serious note though women who are undergoing breast surgery should be aware of some of the typical complications that may arise from their procedure, one of the common ones being rupturing of the material that is used to create the implant. Implant rupture can occur during the implantation or during other surgery; also because the material has a shelf life once it begins to degrade rupturing can be anticipated. Other complications include a reduction in the sensitivity of the breasts, impediment of the breast feeding function, thinning on breast tissue which may result in the breasts appearing lopsided and wrinkling of the breasts as the skin stretches to accommodate the new cup size.
One of the most important things to consider when breast augmentation is being considered is the cost of the procedure it is expensive to perform cosmetic surgery and the maintenance of your new breasts will not be cheap.
Some women have reported that the size of their breasts increase as they gain weight. It has not been determined whether or not this can be scientifically supported. Changes in the breasts can be noticed at different times during a woman's life and is not necessarily solely related to weight gain. A woman with B cup breast size may notice that at some points during her menstrual cycle her breasts are larger than at other times due to hormonal changes. A woman's breast tissue will also alter due to pregnancy and nursing or gradually notice changes as she ages resulting in shrinkage and sagging even if she has not gained weight.
However, the correlation between a woman's breast size and body mass index cannot be ruled out. The Waist to Hip ratio and other body measurements tend to support the idea that as a woman's circumference increases chances are that her cup size will also increase. What cannot be determined is the amount of weight that a woman would need to gain or lose in order for the change in her breasts to occur. The woman with a B cup breast size may worry that losing weight will cause her breasts to decrease in size, however there has been no study that have been able to conclude that losing a healthy amount of weight will cause the breast to decrease significantly in size.
Women who tend to lose mass in the breasts as their weight decreases can consult many online articles that speak specifically to maintaining breast size will on a diet or pursuing exercise with the intention to lose a few pounds. Women who weigh between 100-125 pounds usually have B cup breast sizes. In order to maintain this size while undergoing weight loss women are encouraged to do exercises that will strengthen and develop the pectoral muscles. It is important for women who are exercising to wear the proper fitting gear in order to keep the breast steady so as to prevent sagging and malformation.
All women including those with B cup breast size will have to contend with the effects of aging and weight gain. Gravity tends not to rule out women with smaller bust sizes. After oestrogen has played its role in the formation of the breasts it does not support the maintenance of breast tissue. In fact many doctors now believe that excessive oestrogen stimulates breast tissue and is one of the causes of cancerous tissue being found in women's breasts. One little discussed topic is the potential risks of excessive weight gain and its correlation to breast cancer. While genetics plays a huge role in deciding who will develop the deadly disease many researchers have begun to publish their studies that strongly link obesity and cancer especially of the breast. Women are encouraged to maintain a healthy weight to help to lower their risk of developing breast cancer. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is beneficial in more ways than one and will help a woman who is predisposed to cancer reduce her risk.
Marie* is a twenty-seven year old attorney-at-law who is five feet tall with measurements 31-23-34 and has a B-Cup breast size that she is remarkably content with. Marie describes herself as a sexy, confident petite woman. Although Marie could not be considered voluptuous by conventional standards, at only 102 pounds, Marie's B-cup breast size certainly complements her figure well. Like many women Marie has contemplated breast implant surgery in the past but only briefly. Her long-term partner Brian believes surgery is not necessary and shows his appreciation of her B-Cup breasts every chance he gets. Marie has found one valuable accessory she simply finds it impossible to do without and recommends that all women should own a push-up bra or two which helps to create the dazzling illusion to the onlooker. When wearing her push-up bra Marie is able to transform her breasts to make it appear that her breasts are at least one size bigger depending on the design of the bra. On her petite frame Marie has turned the heads one more than a few admirers when out on the town. In her words, she is a classy sexy woman who enjoys her body b-cups and all.
Many women in the B-Cup Breast category celebrate their sexuality in much the same way as Marie does. Being self-aware of how to enhance their physical attributes have aided many women in tapping into their inner goddesses and have lead them to leading more contented lives. Women who have found it possible to enjoy their bodies whatever the size of their breasts or hips, or how much body fat they need to lose have reported that they are not only more sexually satisfied but this confidence has become visible in other aspects of their lives.
Women no longer need to worry that their cleavage looks lacking or that their breasts are too far apart; with the right apparel women with small breast are now able to show off their chests without the fear of embarrassment. With the right padding, inserts and under wires coupled a suitable top cut to highlight the bust women are now able to flaunt more freely. Other tips include adding make-up to the chest to highlight the swells of the breasts or adding a little glitter to draw attention to the cleavage.
The moral of the story is that women should invest in good strong bras that help to make them feel sexy and confident after all if men are to be believed the sexiest things a woman can wear are her smile and confidence next to a good bra.


text: My son will be four months on the 26th. I will be skipping past rice cereal and all that. I also have no plans on giving him solids of any kind till at least 6 months. My questions is: When should I introduce solids? I understand some moms wait till a year to give solids but I don't want to wait that long because I am afraid that if I wait, he will have difficulties adjusting. Also, once I feel he is ready for solids, when and how should I do it?

The BCS rankings have been announced. Boise State is No. 3, TCU is No. 5 and Utah is No. 9.
With Boise's ranking and an inconsistent Oklahoma and an Oregon team facing a tough schedule ahead of them, people are penciling in the Broncos as a title game participant.
But in the words of Lee Corso, "Not so fast my friend!"
There may be a chance that by the end of the year, two other non-AQ schools will finish above them in the computers, even if they go unbeaten. This slideshow will point out the reasons why should Utah or TCU go undefeated, they will finish ahead of Boise in the rankings.

I once saw a demonstration of the human brain's capacity to absorb massive amounts of visually-displayed information. "A picture's worth a thousand words" might have been an understatement. Think about what is probably the most famous graph in history, Charles Joseph Minard's visual depiction of Napoleon's disastrous Russian campaign of 1812. Now think about advances in the technology of visualization and multimedia since Minard's time. ScienceCinema is a new multimedia search engine aimed at leveraging state-of-the-art technology to multiply the "teaching" and communications potential of scientific videos. The Department of Energy's Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI, within the Office of Science, has developed ScienceCinema in partnership with Microsoft. OSTI's mission is to advance science and sustain technological creativity by making R&D findings available and useful to scientists, researchers, students and the public.
Not too long ago, communicating scientific and technical information was limited to simple text documents and two-dimensional graphs and charts. With the birth of the Internet, the ability to communicate science more quickly in more ways to a larger, worldwide audience became a reality.
Innovation inspires more innovation, and faster and more complex tools continue to be developed that allow researchers to communicate scientific and technical information in more interesting, exciting, complex, relevant, interactive and useful ways.
Multimedia (which includes videos, animation, visualization, interactive publishing, images and object recognition) tools and technology are relatively new, but are rapidly expanding as a means for scientists to record, share, disseminate and collaborate their experiments and research. These tools offer tremendous opportunities for the future of scientific discovery.
There are various factors that have contributed to the increased use and availability of multimedia and visualization tools. OSTI has been at the forefront of many of these innovations. Since its inception, and whether by print or by pixel, OSTI is committed to ensuring appropriate and ready access to government research.
Many of us use Internet search tools to search web pages and textual documents, but may not be familiar with the best ways to search through multi-media ...or even know that it can be done. This means that although many cutting edge scientific conferences, workshops and speeches are available on the web via video, it is difficult or impossible for many to search for the material they want or need without spending hours of (perhaps fruitless) effort. ScienceCinema is helping solve this challenge.
In order to provide better access to scientific and technical multimedia relevant to the research at and sponsored by the Department of Energy, OSTI has partnered with Microsoft Research, to leverages speech recognition technology to enable searching across large volumes of spoken content. Video files from the Department of Energy's National Laboratories have been collected by OSTI and have undergone audio indexing via MAVIS, which will allow the user to conduct a search by a specific term. The user can then be directed either to a video in which the term is used, or tothe precise point in the video file where that particular term was spoken. Imagine the time, effort and cost that will be saved by using this capability – and the discoveries that may be made because the new material was made available.
Continuous new discovery is required to meet national and worldwide needs for major advances to power our economy, develop energy independence and protect our environment. It is essential to accelerate the diffusion of scientific and technical knowledge. OSTI continues to pioneer ways to facilitate a new era in sophistication and breadth of the tools to access and use scientific knowledge. ScienceCinema takes a big step into the future.
We hope you enjoy it.
