For the second roadtrip we went to the Vans RebelJam in Eindhoven. All of the professional BMX riders where present and ripping!
When we walked in to the main contest area with out press pass our jaws dropped to the ground. Such a nice setup and quantity of jumps where amazing! We were totally stunned when the first pro got mental and the rest joined in.. Such a nice contest! We will never forget!
Also we met out old buddies, Doekoe and Maarten, and the fellows from 7trails and SFA bike crew, all where silent during the finals because of the banger tricks that where thrown on the big jumps!!
Check out the video below!

Alrighty, it's the end of January, which also signals the end of football (damn), the end of not having to do your taxes (double damn), and the beginning of the end of that New Year's resolution to get in shape.
It was noticeable when January arrived in the bay area, the gyms filled up after work and the zumba classes went back to capacity. TampaSportsFitness applauds those who made the commitment to get/stay fit in 2013, but we get that joining a gym may not be for everybody. There's a whole host of statistics that point out that most people who own gym memberships don't use them, and a majority of those that do use them only make it to the gym two times a week.
The reasons? Oh, there are so many: time, gym location, crowd size, general intimidation, and various doubts and insecurities ranging from wanting to avoid embarrassment to not wanting to use the locker room shower, all of which are valid but detrimental to health goals.
To that end, TampaSportsFitness would like to offer a few suggestions on getting healthy for the new year that don't involve the gym:
1. Portion Control. We know, we know; nobody likes being told how much they can eat. So here's a simple idea: eat until you're full. That's it. Not full to bursting, just full.
2. Drink More (Water). TampaSportsFitness does not subscribe to the argument that drinking more will make you less hungry. The argument that proper hydration goes hand-in-hand with a healthy diet, on the other hand, gets top-shelf priority around here. So drink up. In fact, do it more. Having a soda with lunch? Have some water instead. If you want a little more flavor, replace the water with green tea. Just pass on the extra cream and sugar.
3. Get Outdoors. This one's a no-brainer. It's early in the year, the weather is still nice, and the bay area has no shortage of parks and sites conducive to walking/running. Plus, no gym costs.
4. Try Something Early. Early morning exercise gives the benefit of energy before the day begins. It does involve kicking yourself out of bed earlier in the morning, but the trade-off might be worthwhile if you've got a long day ahead of you.
5. Try Something Late. Working a 9 to 5 shift and not looking forward to the drive home? Easy; use that time after work to exercise. You'll avoid the worst of rush hour and still make it home in time for dinner.
6. Stairs and Blocks. Instead of heading to the break room, go for a walk on the stairs in your office. Don't have stairs? Walk around your building. Again, it's still nice outside, so take advantage of it while you can. Once May arrives it'll be impossible.
Anyone else out there have gym-free suggestions for the new year?

There were fears the England international could miss the rest of the season after breaking his leg in the Rhinos' Super League loss at Hull on May 31.
Now McDermott has suggested the 30-year-old could be back in contention for the end-of-season play-offs as well as the autumn World Cup.
McDermott, speaking at a press conference, said: "Danny McGuire is getting closer, still maybe three weeks off."
McDermott had less positive updates on second row Brett Delaney and centre Joel Moon following last week's Super League victory at London Broncos.
He said: "Brett Delaney will be a few weeks, he banged and twisted his knee against London.
"Unfortunately for Brett his misfortune continues, he has had a torrid season with injuries.
"Joel Moon has strained a ligament in his foot, very similar to Kallum Watkins' injury, so we are expecting that to be two or three weeks."
Prop Ryan Bailey is unlikely to return for Friday's trip to Salford due to an infection in the thumb he broke almost two months ago, although it has otherwise healed.
Fellow forward Jamie Jones-Buchanan is likely to be out for another month with a knee problem.

Rattlesnake resident Carma Gilligan came to the Dec. 3 Missoula City Council meeting armed with handouts detailing what she sees as the downsides of accessory dwelling units.
"I'm against them completely," Gilligan told the council.
Missoula now forbids construction of more than one house on a parcel inside a single-family district in the University, Slant Street and Rattlesnake neighborhoods, among others.
Ward 3 Councilman Alex Taft proposes changing the provision to allow construction of one additional rental unit. The idea, Taft says, is to ease Missoula's chronically tight housing market, while taking a financial strain off homeowners. Locals like Gilligan worry that more density will bring increased traffic and noise and, in doing so, change neighborhood character.
In an effort to alleviate concern, council spent the past several weeks tweaking Taft's original proposal, limiting, for instance, the maximum ADU size to 600 square feet, rather than 800, as first proposed. Similarly, the Plat Annexation and Zoning Committee's draft ordinance now requires that a public hearing be held, along with a council vote, before a property owner is allowed to build a detached ADU.
Not everyone is satisfied with those changes. Gilligan told the Independent that she doesn't mind attached ADUs, or those added onto an existing home. She believes attached ADUs will be more likely to have an owner live onsite, minimizing the chances a property will fall into disrepair. The PAZ Committee in its draft ordinance requires that ADU owners live onsite. But Gilligan worries that people will skirt it.
During the Monday night hearing, Ward 1 Councilman Dave Strohmaier attempted again to build consensus by proposing that a full-blown rezoning process be required before a property owner build a detached ADU. If Strohmaier's amendment were approved, a protest from 25 percent of landowners within 150 feet of a proposed granny flat would make a council super-majority vote necessary to gain approval.
Gilligan likes that idea, but Strohmaier's colleagues aren't sold. Ward 2's Cynthia Wolken and Ward 6's Ed Childers said during the meeting that Strohmaier's amendment would make ADUs prohibitively expensive.
Mayor John Engen broke a tie vote, sending the ordinance back to committee this week for further refinementand, no doubt, further debate.

Cyber bullying has become a serious issue these days. According to last year's statistics (2014), over 25% of teenagers report that that they have experienced repeated bullying via their mobile phone or online. Reports also show that over half of young people experienced the same problem; while 11% of adolescents and teens have experienced embarrassment with damaging photographs taken without their knowledge or consent. And the numbers just keep piling up. I'm also sure that you have heard stories about teens taking their own lives because of cyber bullying.
In this post, I have gathered some tips on how to prevent this problem and the cycle of aggression. May it serve as guideline not only for parents or guardians, but also to everyone who may have been involved to such incident.
For kids and teens
Don't respond or retaliate. Most of the time, these cyber bullies would actually wait for your reaction because they think it gives them power over you; and empowering a bully is the last thing you don't want to happen. Just try to ignore these "keyboard warriors". Retaliating could only make things worse. If you can't remove yourself from the situation, sometimes humor disarms or distracts a person from bullying.
Save the evidence. To support the things mentioned above, don't respond or retaliate. The best thing to do is to save the evidence in case things escalated and report it to the authorities.
Reach out for help. You don't have to keep everything to yourself. Find a person you can trust or just listen to what you have to say—if not your friends, perhaps your parents or guardian. Don't be afraid to reach out for help, especially if it's really getting under your skin. Always remember, you're not alone.
Use available tech tools. There are many apps services you can use to disengage you with such incidents. You can block the person, set your account's privacy, or you can also report the problem to the service provider. This may not end the bullying, but at least you get to control the harassment, and you'll be less tempted to respond. If you're getting threats, you should definitely call your local police or let your parents or guardians know. Consider reporting it to school authorities as well.
For parents or guardians
Monitor your children. You're really lucky if your child is open to you. Most children don't share these things to adults. Monitor their activities. If you notice some changes like they can't sleep at night or they lose interest going to school or seems restless when on his or her phone or computer, try to ask why as calmly and open-heartedly as possible.
Work with them. Keeping your children involved is always a good thing. Victims of bullying (in any form) usually involve loss of dignity or control over a social situation. Getting your child participate to some activities may help him or her regain that control.
Respond thoughtfully. Gather your thoughts before making an action. The problem with most parents is they retaliate as quickly as possible. This would only make things worse. Find out what really happened and gather your thoughts so you can find out the best solution to the problem.
There are many ways you can do to prevent these problems. Just keep your eyes open. For sure, you know your child better than anyone else. And for the others, I hope you do your part as well. Say not to bullying. Sometimes, lending your two ears could save lives.

Alan Pardew has said again today that Newcastle are in a strong position financially, so the obvious question that comes to mind is why are we continuing to be so frugal in the transfer market?
Alan Pardew – in training this week
And the answer seems to be that's the way owner Mike Ashley wants to operate, and the bottom line is Ashley wants good deals on players, and will not pay (too much) over the odds for any player.
However, it does look like we bid a decent fee for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, and more than Borussia Dortmund bid – if news stories are to be believed.
This is what Alan Pardew said today to the local press:
"I feel we are in a strong position financially to hold on to our players," "If one of our top players goes, it'll be a bid that blows the doors off. That's it."
"In terms of the big players, again, we have not sold anybody," "We have players under long-term contracts here. Hopefully, we can add to that."
"We are strong in some areas and weak in others," "I think it would be nice to strengthen in some areas."
It seems like most Premier clubs are willing to spend big this summer, including smaller clubs like West Ham, Norwich and Swansea, and we have to believe that's based on the big money the clubs will receive next May from the Premier League.
Last season it was anywhere from £40M to £60M, and this season it will be anywhere from £60M to £100M depending on which position a club finishes in the league, and other factors such as how many times the team is featured on TV.
The increase in money is because of the new three year TV deal, and the smaller clubs seems to be buying now, knowing they will have that money next May, and that's the way Freddy Shepherd ran Newcastle for ten years.
Mike Ashley is different, and the club pays in cool cash up front for any transfers in, and tries to get money paid up front for players leaving, although that's not always possible.
But Newcastle are in good financial shape, and maybe two good strikers is all we really need this summer plus a number of top youngsters?
What do you think?

5 Stars: Dee-lish! I used homemade crepes & fresh cherries for this recipe. I was tempted to add extra sugar as I didn't think it was going to be sweet enough. But we went ahead & made the cream as posted. I was delighted to find that the combination of the cream & the cherry sauce was plenty sweet.

NY Times reporter Stolberg's "News Analysis" of political impact of stem-cell discovery omits researcher's admonition
Research ››› ››› MARCIA KUNTZ
In a November 21 "News Analysis" examining the political significance of the announcement by scientists in Wisconsin and Japan that they had successfully reprogrammed skin cells to function like embryonic stem cells without having to destroy an embryo, New York Times reporter Sheryl Gay Stolberg wrote: "The findings have put people on both sides of the stem cell divide on nearly equal political footing." She wrote that President Bush "has steadfastly maintained that scientists would come up with an alternative method of developing embryonic stem cells, one that did not involve killing embryos." She added: "[N]ow that scientists in Japan and Wisconsin have apparently achieved what Mr. Bush envisioned, the White House is saying, 'I told you so.' " But at no point did Stolberg mention what Gina Kolata reported in a separate New York Times article on the same day -- that Dr. James A. Thomson, who led the research at the University of Wisconsin, said that, in Kolata's words, "it would be premature to abandon research with stem cells taken from human embryos."
Stolberg reported that "[t]he president and his aides have been quietly monitoring the Wisconsin experiments for months." Notwithstanding the reported attention the White House gave to Thomson's research, Stolberg gave no indication that she asked the administration to respond to Thomson's reported admonition that embryonic stem-cell research should continue.
Stolberg also wrote that "[t]he new findings could defuse the issue in the 2008 campaign, or at least that is the hope of candidates like [Republican presidential candidate Mitt] Romney." The fact that at least one of the scientists responsible for the breakthrough is saying that embryonic stem-cell research should continue is relevant to an assessment of whether the issue will be, or should be, "defuse[d] ... in the 2008 campaign."

Red - Poem by Nassy Fesharaki
'Red', I read
And I think
Blood is red
Her lips are red
She wears red
And he, red handed
Red, I think
Pomegranate is red
Our carpets are red
And in Spanish, Net is red
(A group of things tied together)
'Red' I say, 'don't make mistake'
She is sitting
She is eating something
(I can smell egg)
I need to go to men's room
'Can you? ' I think of asking her
'Ask her to watch in your absence'
I think before asking her.
She's texting
She's slow
Very slow like Maxine
(I saw her today)
Her face fluffy
(What from, maybe cold? "
She's Caribbean girl.
But not this blonde in red
(With poor eyesight)
She's almost glued to her phone
(My mom comes to mind with her magnifier)
"Can you help me thread this needle? "
She asks.
Mom never wore red unless for celebrating the Omar's death.

Precision Dialogue, an RR Donnelley company (RRD) (NYSE:RRD), today announced the signing of a new multi-year agreement with Wolverine Worldwide, one of the world's leading marketers of branded footwear and apparel.
Legendary investor Warren Buffett advises to be fearful when others are greedy, and be greedy when others are fearful. One way we can try to measure the level of fear in a given stock is through a technical analysis indicator called the Relative Strength Index, or RSI, which measures momentum on a scale of zero to 100.
Tech's organic growth and visibility has been apparent all year, says Jim Cramer.
Shareholders of Donnelley & Sons Company looking to boost their income beyond the stock's 5% annualized dividend yield can sell the September covered call at the $13 strike and collect the premium based on the 45 cents bid, which annualizes to an additional 8.6% rate of return against the current stock price (at Stock Options Channel we call this the YieldBoost), for a total of 13.6% annualized rate in the scenario where the stock is not called away. Any upside above $13 would be lost if the stock rises there and is called away, but RRD shares would have to climb 16.9% from current levels for that to occur, meaning that in the scenario where the stock is called, the shareholder has earned a 21% return from this trading level, in addition to any dividends collected before the stock was called.
Jim Cramer is bullish on Constellation Brands, Cypress Semiconductor and Philip Morris International.
Brouhaha over GOP-led health-care deal is not really threatening the Republic. But you should have an investment plan in place.
Looking at the universe of stocks we cover at Dividend Channel, in trading on Monday, shares of Donnelley & Sons Company were yielding above the 4% mark based on its quarterly dividend (annualized to $0.56), with the stock changing hands as low as $13.53 on the day. Dividends are particularly important for investors to consider, because historically speaking dividends have provided a considerable share of the stock market's total return.

It wasn't new to me.
The clamminess of being alone.
The scraping for attention.
The begging for a life.
But when it happened, again,
I was caught unawares.
It had been autumn for too long.
Cold winds. Unprotected.
My spring came hesitantly.
Is unruly. Unpredictable.
Should I let it continue or
choose conscious hibernation?

1993-2001 BMW 740iL Power Steering Pump - A1 Cardone 21-5966
Product Description
The A1 Cardone Power Steering Pump can be installed on BMW 740iLs from '93, '94, '95, '96, '97, '98, '99, '00 and '01. A failing Power Steering Pump will likely make turning more difficult and will definitely be a serious problem with safety. A Power Steering Pump operates by manufacturing hydraulic force which assists in turning your vehicle. Your Power Steering Pump derives from a pump made for steam-powered engines a century and a half ago, in answer to the need for superior responsiveness in handling. BMW 740iLs from the years 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2001 can use this element. Different cars and trucks probably will not be compatible, and this replacement part is not intended to be installed in other makes and models.
I am extremely pleased with PartsGeek, the checkout procedure was easy and I received my part earlier than I expected.

Chinese colleges don't only produce test takers and memorizing machines, they have hot Victoria's Secret angels, too.
A video clip of what appeared to be a Victoria's Secret style lingerie runway show at Chengdu University of Technology went viral in China, receiving hundreds of thousands of hits in just 4 days. And not long after, high resolution pictures of the show started to show up in various BBS and hit headlines of several big portal news websites.
According to a news article by Netease, the lingerie show was part of a grand graduating show put on last spring by the University's School of Radio, Film and Television. All designs showcased were from the School's fashion design students, hand-made. The models, too, were students majored in modeling at the school.
The news sparked debate about whether a lingerie show is appropriate for college students. Many hold the view that it is not a big deal, just a group of young people having fun and showing their creativity. Others, however, think that China has been "opened-up" too much and college girls shouldn't be allowed to walk in only bras and panties on campus, whatever purpose it is for.
What makes this more interesting is a news report from China Daily on March 5, "Lingerie market gets bigger and better." In the article, Yang Shibin, leader of the China Knitting Industrial Association, commented, "[vendors of underwear] they are not selling the products but a culture and a lifestyle."
According to statistics from cloth.hc360.com, one of the biggest business websites in the clothing industry in the country, the total revenue of China's intimate apparel market in 2010 was 3 billion euros ($3.9 billion). It is experiencing an annual growth rate of 10 percent.
Among the potential consumers of about 525 million for intimate apparel in China, 21 percent of them are aged 15 to 24 and 41 percent are aged 25 to 44. The latter has more purchasing power than the former.
The statistics show that about 140 million Chinese people prefer high-end intimate apparel and their annual budget for clothes including underwear is 300 euros a person.

Freezing fog played havoc with travel on Wednesday, with flights cancelled, roads jammed and delays on mainline rail and Tube services.
The worst of the fog had lifted by evening, with Heathrow having earlier cancelled around 70 flights.
London City airport also had to axe six early-morning flights, as UK temperatures dipped as low as minus 10C (14F).
Cancelled flights at Heathrow included scheduled trips to Warsaw, Nice, Stockholm, Aberdeen and several German cities.
There was congestion on a number of major roads, while a section of the A1(M) between junctions 39 and 40 in Yorkshire was closed.
On the railways, overhead wire problems caused 50-minute delays in the rush-hour between Bedford and Luton, while a broken-down train at Watford Junction in Hertfordshire also caused hold-ups.
An electrical supply problem led to delays to train services between Seaford and Lewes in East Sussex, while a signalling problem caused hold-ups to services in and out of another Sussex coastal station - Brighton.
In Scotland, a broken-down train at Bathgate led to delays between Edinburgh and Airdrie.
The coldest spot in the UK on Wednesday night was Tulloch Bridge in the Highlands, where the thermometer could only creep up to minus 10.2C (13.6F).
Other overnight cold spots included Chesham in Buckinghamshire at minus 9C (15.8F) and Little Rissington in Gloucestershire where it was minus 8C (18F).

Saffron is expensive, but exquisite and used very sparingly-a smidgeon lends a world of character. Buy saffron threads rather than powder; the threads stay fresher, and on occasion the powder has been cut with ground turmeric by an avaricious spice merchant. We use the large variety of frozen, partially cooked green-lip mussels for convenience and cut them into thirds; if you use blue mussels, steam them open and use them whole. Whole bay scallops or quartered sea scallops make a nice variation.
To prepare the leek, cut the green leaves off but leave the root end intact. Starting 1/4 to 1/2 inch above the root end, slice the leek down the middle. Fan it open under cold running water to remove all residual grit, then cut it crosswise into thin half-moons. Discard the root end.
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 ounces penne
6 ounces leek (about 1 large leek)
trimmed of all green portions, cleaned,
and thinly sliced
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 clove garlic, minced
1 cup clam juice
Pinch of saffron
12 ounces green-lip mussels
(about 9 large mussels), shelled
and cut in thirds
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil over high heat. Salt, add the penne, and cook until tender. Drain.
Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the leek and wine and cook for about 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the wine has evaporated and the leek is very soft. Add the garlic. Cook and stir for 1 minute. Add the clam juice and cook for about 5 minutes more, until the liquid is reduced by about half.
Stir in the saffron, then the mussels. Cook for about 3 minutes to heat through. Add the penne, raise the heat to high, and cook for about 3 minutes more, until the pasta has turned saffron-yellow.
Garnish with the parsley and lemon zest. Serve a generous 3/4 cup to each person.

TAMPA — Tampa Bay Tech certainly appears ready for next week's season opener, as the Titans dominated Blake 56-0 in Friday night's preseason game.
The Titan passing game was clicking on all cylinders.
Junior quarterback Deon Cain threw five touchdown passes to five different receivers.
Senior athlete Tajee Fullwood scored a pair of TDs — one rushing and another through the air.
The Tampa Bay Tech defense was equally as strong.
Fullwood also had an interception and sophomore defensive back Isaiah Brown returned a Blake fumble for a score.
Although it's just the preseason, Tampa bay Tech coach Jayson Roberts was encouraged by his team's effort on both sides of the ball.
"The passing game was an area we really felt we would be much improved in this year," Roberts said. "We feel good about our rushing attack, but it's going to big for us to be able to balance that with the passing game."
Tech opens the regular season at home against Newsome. Blake will host Brandon.

Well it was ground hog day yesterday and regardless of PETA trying to replace him with a robot weather forecasting device, he saw his shadow and bodes 6 more weeks of winter weather. Hopefully Im in time to teach you a couple of techniques to make a quick TEMPORARY repair to stop the flow before you have to start building an ark and calling in the animals in pairs much less the idea of your furniture and personal belongings floating in cold water and amidst icebergs.

text: The problem for the prosecution in the murder trial of 41-year-old Robert Nelson of Anson has been a gross lack of physical evidence. Friday, testimony was halted in the murder trial so state police detectives could try and find some more. "This morning there were some evidentiary issues that arose and it has taken us some time to resolve. Those issues need to be resolved before the case can continue," Judge John Nivison said. "I anticipate issues will be resolved as of Monday morning."Judge Nivison granted the prosecution a continuance until Monday so state police detectives can search a gravel pit in the Kingfield area for a slug they think will match the slug taken from the victim during an autopsy. "They got information that a gun was fired on that location and a bullet may match to the one taken from his head," defense attorney John Alsop told reporters outside the courtroom.Before granting the continuance, two witnesses were allowed to testify, although out of order. The defense called Cathy Sleeper of Anson. She testified that on the afternoon of the murder she saw a white car parked on the Town Farm Road along with Everett Cameron's pickup truck the afternoon Cameron was shot.Her husband, Matthew Sleeper, also took the stand Friday but he testified for the prosecution. Matthew Sleeper testified he saw the white car, Cameron's truck, and the defendant's two-tone Dodge Intrepid parked on the Town Farm Road.Family members of the victim Everett Cameron testified earlier this week that Cameron was selling his prescription Oxycodone medication to friends and family members. One of his customers was the defendant Robert Nelson. According to testimony given earlier in the week, Cameron often engaged in drug deals in the same spot on the Town Farm Road where he was gunned down.Nelson has admitted to meeting with Cameron the afternoon he was murdered, but says Cameron was alive and well when they parted company. With no murder weapon, no DNA evidence, and no confession, the prosecution has been fighting an uphill battle from the beginning. Prosecutors are relying on circumstantial evidence to convict him. If Nelson is convicted he faces 25 years to life behind bars. Nelson waived his right to a jury trial, opting instead to have Judge Nivison hear the case.

I have narrowed my search down to either a Glock 19, Springfield XD9, Smith & Wesson M&P9 or Ruger SR9. I have shot all of them and think they all have their pluses and minuses.
The gun would be used for mostly range shooting and home defense. I would like to get involved in some USPSA shooting in the future.
If you had to choose one and be done with it what would it be?

It's a rare event in the fast-paced world of fashion when a trend clings on for longer than a single season. But for the past few years, our eyebrows have managed to stay stubbornly at the centre of the beauty stratosphere — not bad for a once-forgotten facial feature.
Whether big, bushy, blackened or bleached, the humble brow has had quite an image overhaul. But the results haven't always ended up so — ahem — highbrow (TOWIE and Scousewives, we're looking at you). Now, as the fashion pack steps in to reclaim the forehead furniture for its own, this season's catalogue of shapes and styles is larger than ever. So here is our Good Brow Guide for autumn/winter 12, as we round up some of the catwalk's most popular incarnations. How will you wear yours?
This season's trend for Gothic glam has seen a surge of porcelain complexions and icy blue highlights at shows such as Viktor & Rolf and Versace, and with it, eyebrows were decidedly muted. Give rich berry pouts and heavily kohled peepers the attention they deserve by concealing brows with a layer of full coverage foundation, such as Keromask Camouflage Cream (£14.99, keromask.com), and add definition with a pencil two shades lighter than your natural colour to keep it looking more autumn/winter 12 than alien.
Think you've seen big brows? This season's catwalks have put the super-groomed boy brows of summer to shame: the new heavy furrows are about letting it all hang out. Bushy, unruly brows were large and in charge at MaxMara and Christopher Kane, without so much as a slick of wax or a comb-through to calm them down. If you find yourself challenged in the forehead follicle department, speed up the process with RapidBrow Enhancing Serum (£37, boots.com) for denser brows in just 60 days, or beef up what nature gave you with Talika Eyebrow Extender (£22, talika.co.uk) to build up thin brows for a more natural result than pencils and powders. Just fill in the arches for a catwalk-worthy set of caterpillars — and remember, bigger is definitely better.
Oriental patterns and origami shapes were abundant on the catwalks this season. Taking inspiration from Far East fashion, the Samurai brow flicks up and outwards with sword-like precision. At Zac Posen the facelift-in-a-brow was given an extra lift with scraped back top knots and sweeping eyeliner flicks, mirroring the line of the brow. But this dramatic style may not be suitable for everyday use. Before you reach for the tweezers, replicate the look by combing waxed brows out to the top of your ears, then conceal the last inch and draw on the pointed tip with a lick of MAC's Penultimate Brow Marker (£15, maccosmetics.co.uk).
Bucking the top-heavy trend, expertly arched brows at Roland Mouret and Alberta Ferretti announced the revival of the glamourous 1920s cinematic siren. Channel The Great Gatsby's Daisy Buchanan ahead of the film release next year with lean and perfectly formed brows but don't risk a DIY job the first time round. Instead, entrust yours to one of the capital's Blink Brow Bars to whip them into shape in an instant.Reuse content

Welcome to the Center for Wound Care & Hyperbaric Medicine at Sharon Hospital
Since opening on October 3, 2011, our heal rate has been over 96% & our patients give the wound center a 96% satisfaction rate. Read on for more information, or call 860.364.4515 to schedule an appointment today! The Center for Wound Care & Hyperbaric Medicine at Sharon Hospital, managed by Healogics™, provides specialized treatment for chronic or non-healing wounds, which are defined as sores or wounds that have not significantly improved from conventional treatments. Associated with inadequate circulation, poorly functioning veins, and immobility, non-healing wounds lead to lower quality of life and may lead to amputations. When wounds persist, a specialized approach is required for healing. Typically, a wound that does not respond to normal medical care within 30 days is considered a problem or chronic wound.
That's where our Wound Care Center® can help. With the state-of-the-art treatments available including debridement, dressing selection, special shoes, and patient education, people with non-healing and chronic wounds now have a place to turn. The Center uses an interdisciplinary model of care, including infectious-disease management, physical therapy, occupational therapy, laboratory evaluation, nutritional management, pain management, diabetic education, radiology testing, and debridement to address total patient health.
The Wound Care Center's multidisciplinary team includes podiatrists, surgeons and infectious disease specialists.
Chronic wounds: a growing problem
Non-healing wounds of the diabetic foot are considered one of the most significant complications of diabetes, representing a major worldwide medical, social, and economic burden that greatly affects patient quality of life. Almost 24 million Americans—one in every 12—are diabetic and the disease is causing widespread disability and death at an epidemic pace, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Of those with diabetes, more than 8 million are estimated to suffer with chronic or non-healing wounds. Associated with inadequate circulation, poorly functioning veins, and immobility, non-healing wounds occur most frequently in the elderly and in people with diabetes—populations that are sharply rising as the nation ages and chronic diseases increase. At The Center for Wound Care & Hyperbaric Medicine at Sharon Hospital, we follow treatment protocols specifically established for each type of wound. We utilize the latest approaches to wound healing and remain current in new scientific advances in wound care.
Partnership with the leading wound care management team leads to successful healing
Through a partnership with Healogics, Sharon Hospital is able to offer a new and comprehensive center offering specialized wound care. Healogics is the world's largest wound care management company with over 500 hospital partners delivering excellent evidence-based care to patients with chronic wounds.

A comprehensive team of wound care specialists
The Center for Wound Care & Hyperbaric Medicine at Sharon Hospital is designed to complement your physicians' services and is committed to the treatment of chronic or non-healing wounds. The Center is made up of a team of professionals, including:
- Physicians with advanced training in wound management and hyperbaric oxygen therapy
- Podiatry and General Surgery specialists
- Nursing staff trained in the care of chronic wounds
- Technicians who perform non-invasive studies and various therapies
- Experienced staff to assist with appointments, medical records, and health insurance processing
- A personalized wound treatment program
What to expect from the first appointment
Patients are mostly referred by their primary care physician, and the program operates by appointment. Upon referral to The Center for Wound Care & Hyperbaric Medicine at Sharon Hospital, patients undergo a thorough diagnostic examination to identify the type of wound you have and the underlying problems causing the wound. The initial appointment consists of a full assessment to determine the etiology of the wound, the appropriate classification and size of the wound, the overall health status of the patient and the patient's ability to comply with needed therapies.
Based on the evaluation, a customized treatment plan is developed to optimize the therapies best suited to address the patient's needs. Wound size and depth are documented at the initial visit, and again at each subsequent visit. Some of the diagnostic modalities which may be used include:
- Laboratory evaluation
- Radiology (including MRI)
- Transcutaneous oxygen testing
- Vascular studies, electrocardiogram
- Ultrasound
After this determination, a program specifically tailored to your needs will be initiated based on the most effective treatment options. An interdisciplinary approach will be used to provide the maximum healing possible.
Specialized wound care is usually administered on an outpatient basis. Patients are free to drive themselves to the Center for therapy, and you should plan two-and-a-half to three hours for each visit.
What is specialized wound care?
Once a treatment plan has been initiated, you will visit the Center on a regular basis for specialized treatments and documentation of the progress of your healing. You will also be fully instructed on how to do your own wound care at home between visits, as well as how to protect your wound from further injury. It is very important to remember that you are the most important part of your healing process. Keeping appointments and following directions are critical to attaining a positive healing outcome. The Center employs the most technologically advanced wound care therapy, including debridement, topical wound therapy, growth-factor therapy, tissue therapy, dressing selection, special shoes, and patient education. When wounds persist, a specialized and comprehensive approach is required for healing.
Preparing for your treatments.
After an initial consultation and examination at the center, you will receive complete instructions regarding your treatment. Note: You should refrain from smoking or the use of any tobacco products during the entire course of therapy. Tobacco use will prolong or even prevent healing of a wound site due to its effect on the blood vessels in your body.
If you are sick or on medication.
If you have a cold or cough, the flu, sore throat, chills, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea, inform the staff at the Center before your treatments begin. Also, alert the staff to any medications you are taking, or changes in medication during the course of your treatment. If you are diabetic, please eat properly and continue to take your prescribed medication to control your blood sugar level. (Note: Your blood sugar level will also be checked during each visit to the Center.)
We look forward to serving you. Please contact a member of our staff with any other questions you may have regarding your therapy.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy: What is HBOT?
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is an advanced treatment indicated for specific wound problems. Patients breathe pure oxygen inside a pressurized chamber. A high concentration of oxygen is delivered to a patient's bloodstream. This increases the body's wound healing abilities. Therapy is administered daily; the number of treatments depends on and individual's diagnosis and condition.
The hyperbaric chamber is safe and comfortable. Individual orientation familiarizes patients with the chamber and treatment details before beginning treatment. The clear sided chambers allow patients to enjoy the beautiful landscapes while being treated. Each chamber has a flat screen televisions to allow enjoyment of local television programs or movies.

Foodspotting is a website and iPhone app that lets you share images of the food you've had. Whether it's pie or profiteroles, you can post a "sighting" of a good meal by snapping a picture, uploading it and tagging it with your location.
You gain "tips" for each dish you upload or if people click to "want" the food you've added. If that chilli burrito is the best you've ever had, you can award it a prestigious blue ribbon to point that out to the world.
The ethos behind Foodspotting is that food fans on the move don't care about ambient music, silky drapes or polite waiters; it's all about the grub that's placed in front of you.
Foodspotting's iPhone app has just passed the milestone of 400,000 downloads worldwide. "Our users are mainly US-based but we're growing rapidly," says Foodspotting's head of social media, Amy Cao. "We're ramping up our presence in the UK."
Foodspotting has 1,750 London dishes and counting, and the site is approaching notable food bloggers and getting the capital's restaurants to encourage customers to add sightings.
Foodspotting co-founder Alexa Andrzejewski is based in San Francisco and was behind last year's redesign of the website MySpace. After visiting South Korea, she returned home with a craving to try more of the foods she'd sampled but realised there was no easy way to search for the best of a specific food.
"When you're out and about you want to make fast decisions, not think about what three versus four stars means," says Andrzejewski. "There are some restaurants with only two-star ratings on review sites that do one dish amazingly," she says. "Foodspotting lets that restaurant stand out for what it does well."
Matt Gierhart works at marketing agency OgilvyAction in Paddington and uses Foodspotting to "peek past the menu" before trying a restaurant: "I love London but I've had some devastatingly bad meals when I've just guessed in the high street. Breakfast at the Wet Fish Café in West Hampstead was the best I've spotted recently."
Browsing the London map just after dinner time, I spot delicate ahi tuna at Ukai Sushi on Westbourne Grove, Thai-style tacos at Patara on Greek Street, and hearty pork scratchings at the Old Nun's Head in Peckham. Better get spotting.

I got this piece at a vintage clock and watch shop (aka "candy store") in Dresden. I'm still learning about the watch, which was made by GUB, Glashutte Uhrenbau ("Glashutte Watch Builder"). The Kaliber 74 was made from 1967 to 1980. A longtime Lange movement designer told me it was a very good movement design with slightly inferior parts to keep cost down. I trust her assessment. So far, it's been pretty accurate.
I used a butter knife to pop the back off. This thing must be new old stock cos the gasket is clean and intact and the movement is not degraded at all. Dial is fresh and so is the massively domed acrylic crystal. Winds nicely and has a great hypnotic, slow-beat tick. I had the shop owner swap the strap to a nice high quality brown pebbled leather, possibly Hirsch (it's German) which complements the watch nicely. I like having a cream dial and brown strap.
Enjoy the photos.
Movement. That spring clip on the rotor doesn't inspire confidence.
Pretty plain case back. Hey, it's from the old Eastern Bloc days!


text: SAN DIEGO, April 27, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Since last fall, children and their families in San Diego County have been receiving medical and dental care in a state-of-the-art mobile clinic as part of an innovative partnership between La Maestra Community Health Centers and the Verizon Foundation. In many parts of the county, children are living in single-parent homes where neither child nor parent receives medical or dental care. According to the CDC, there are 4.8 million children in the U.S. who do not have health insurance. The Verizon Foundation awarded a $90,000 grant to La Maestra last year to help support telemedicine capabilities in the mobile RV clinic and deliver quality healthcare services to patients at schools, housing complexes, community events and key retail shopping areas. This mobile clinic is now equipped with the latest, most advanced telemedicine and X-ray systems technology. While many healthcare providers are still using film X-ray, La Maestra's mobile clinic will soon add digital capabilities, allowing providers to catch potentially life-threatening conditions far in advance. The new telemedicine capabilities will also bridge the gap between the mobile clinic and medical clinics, making timely patient-provider consultations more attainable and patients' records more accessible. With the foundation's support, La Maestra's mobile medical clinic has established a regular schedule on site at five schools in the San Diego Unified School District and in two schools at the National school district ( National City) to reach many of these underserved residents. "Access to medical and dental care is always a challenge for our patient population, and La Maestra is dedicated to expanding opportunities for families in this area," said Zara Marselian, chief executive officer of La Maestra Community Health Centers. "Many of the children who visit our mobile clinic have never seen a doctor or a dentist before. Our partnership with Verizon is having an immediate impact and changing people's lives, and it's helping the healthcare system by keeping patients from using emergency rooms for primary medical care." La Maestra is currently working to expand its mobile clinic to more area schools.

Bespokes vs. Ready-mades
I don't see the semantics that much askew. We may bespeak plane reservations, simply meaning to book ahead. Bespoke clothes, shoes, etc. are simply those which have been bespoken. That leaves the question of why they are not bespokens. But then past tenses and participles are frequently confused.

Sourcing Innovation
Posted by Connie Moore on March 2, 2012
- 493 Recommendations
- 2 comments
This week I participated in a small group discussion with business and IT leaders who are focused on innovation. It was an interesting discussion that touched on these topics:
- The scope of innovation. Yes, innovation is on everyone's minds, in business publications and is the hot topic du jour. However, what exactly is innovation? What is the scope of innovation? Is it at the product or customer experience level, the business model level, the business process level, or at the departmental level? When talking about innovation, it's critical to identify what level within the organization or the addressable market you are focused on and the scope of your desired innovation. That helps determine the sponsors and participants, the skill sets required, the change management approach, the timeline, and many other critical components of the engagement.
- Sustainability. One of the biggest problems in innovation is sustainability — maintaining momentum over time. Often a senior executive comes in, shakes things up, gets people to buy into innovation, and then moves on in a couple of years. If leaders up and down the organization haven't fully embraced the innovation efforts as their own, the effort gets orphaned and dies when the executive champion and thought leader leaves.
- The industry sector. Most participants in the discussion felt that innovation almost always happens at the industry level — that industry expertise trumps technology expertise when coming up with strategic, game-changing ideas. They also thought that cross-training innovation leaders in IT if they are industry experts (and vice versa) is crucial. This means that CIOs may face a high hurdle when trying to get the business technology organization plugged into innovation initiatives.
- Professional services. It's possible to use outside organizations to help identify and execute innovation, but the results are mixed. The feeling among this group was that outside service organizations with the best track record in innovation are companies like McKinsey, Accenture, and Capgemini, although one believes that McKinsey is losing its edge. Business process outsourcing (BPO) companies are now striving to move into innovation, but their heritage of cutting costs and focusing on efficiency makes it a high hurdle — although one participant gave Cognizant high marks for innovation. Overall, when bringing in an external organization, make sure it has a broad and deep number of innovation consultants so that you actually get the people on the project that you are counting on. This is one of the problems the BPO firms have.
- Business development partners. One way to bring in innovation from the outside is to look to the external consultant's business development partners that manage the overall relationship with your firm. In the top firms, these business development partners often bring innovative ideas to you, free of charge, as a way to expand their relationship with your firm. Use this to your advantage.
I've heard some of these points before, particularly how important it is to scope innovation at the strategic level and sustain innovation so that the departure of the key champion doesn't bring everything to a halt. These days — in the age of the customer — innovation has to rise above efficiency and cost savings. Those aren't enough on their own. Efficiency isn't seen by most execs as innovation, and doesn't hit the bull's-eye for discovering new business models and driving unparalleled customer experiences.
But what do you think? Which points do you agree or disagree with, and why? We'd like to hear them.
U. of Washingston ComSci Group Sourcing Innovation
Comment from Don Neely (not verified) on Fri, 03/02/2012 - 13:09
This "Sourcing Innovation" post is timely. I suggest readers also consider defining their "Scope of innovation" beyond the boundaries of their functional units and/or organizations. As an example a recent post by Sandy Carter, VP, Social Business, IBM at http://socialbusinesssandy.com/2012/02/29/the-oscars-baseball-protein-fo... describes the University of Washington's innovative use of crowd-sourcing to accelerate answers to a very complex bio-medical problem. I've extracted the relevant part of Sandy's blog post below.
The University of Washington Department of Computer Sciences was looking for new way to solve a problem that has challenged life sciences researchers for many years: examining and figuring out the right shape and the right function for proteins to try to cure diseases. The problem itself had millions of possibilities and many nuances that created a problem that was simply too difficult to solve with computer algorithms alone. It really needed human ingenuity. Some problems have point solutions that are fairly obvious to people but not so for software.
To tackle the problem however, they needed many people to first understand how to solve the problem and try different permutations, without requiring an extensive scientific background to do so. What the University of Washington team created was a serious social game with simple rules on how to fold different shapes of proteins. Using a mass group of 57,000 players from a variety of educational backgrounds and locations on this game, they were able to solve in 3 weeks a problem that vexed scientists for years. It simply took the social collective intelligence and effort of many individuals to deliver effective solutions in at least one fiftieth the amount of time. The Solutions that resulted from the analysis of the game play provided important insights into development of new retroviral drugs.
Seek revolutionary approach to innovation, not incremental
Comment from Mark Montgomery on Mon, 03/05/2012 - 14:08
Interesting to read observations about innovation from what are presumably large organizations challenged with executing innovation, and as you say the larger ongoing challenge of maintaining high levels of innovation. One clue may be the prescription in seeking other large global organizations to assist with innovation. That immediately reveals a red flag of misunderstanding about the type of people who are drawn to large organizations and why, among many other issues--careerism, security from old innovations, comfort zones in working with similar cultures--when precisely the opposite is called for, etc.
Way back when I published our white paper 'unleash the innovation within' - 2008 if memory serves-tens of thousands of downloads representing every major organization in the world--in some cases hundreds each in global brands, the Economist Intelligence unit had just issued a strong report on innovation based on a survey in large companies. I took part in the survey but most of the participants were leading brands with interviews of the senior most individual in quite a few companies actually responsible for innovation--their response was no surprise to smaller, often more creative companies--they reported just the opposite of the marketing departments who claim to be the most innovative companies. Those actually responsible for the activity reported enormous challenges and conflicts, and they included some of the most famous brands for innovation. While many of us in the trenches have been acutely aware of the challenges for decades, this was a rare admission of truth in quasi public.
In contrast to conventional wisdom in our increasingly herding environment with networked computing and social networks, highly creative people who have disciplined themselves over long periods of time to have proven to overcome difficult challenges are actually quite rare, and they don't tend to do well in large organizations for a variety of reasons, not least of which is bureaucracy, resistance to internal cannibalization that stifles creative thinking, and generally many more conflicts along a similar trajectory to size and lines of businesses and products.
Industry experience trumps technology experience for a reason -- mature companies and industries are generally not in the innovation business frankly--the rare exception is a Steve Jobs and Apple in a large company -- the norm is a culture of people drawn to mature companies for security, meaning protectionism, not innovation--those that try are often very frustrated. When I was a VC the majority of enormous numbers of BPs were coming from those frustrated innovators. Then take a look at the impact of fame in our culture, including the big names in innovation, and compare with actual track records--here again ignorance usually rules--my experience actually demonstrates that the really smart folks avoid fame, but they do want to be compensated fairly and have their work protected--not exploited by the masses lining up to take credit. That exploitation has a honeymoon period but also has a term limit that quite often leads to brain and creativity drain (shall we call it innovation drain?).
What's also interesting that rarely makes it to a publication is how many companies are going external to small, exceptional consultants protected by NDA as execs obviously don't want either external or internal communications to report just how challenged they are relative to executing innovations. If only the world knew.
Open innovation, crowd sourcing, etc. is really more of a low cost direct consumer market research activity, which of course is part of the process especially with consumer products, but nowhere near as important to the best as it is with the most. Steve Jobs and others have offered much wisdom on this issue -- by the time customers know what they want the opportunity has passed, but fear, security, apathy, and culture make for a challenging toxic stew relative to innovation.
The truth is that major brands have almost always followed rather than led with innovation, primarily due to cultural resistance to change until forced to change by market forces, which of course is often too late--see recent articles on the average life of the corporation for good representation of this in action--40 years I believe--the corporate graveyard business is booming.
We've been working on a rethink of the information workplace relative to these challenges for quite some, relative to macro economic change, technology architecture, and alignment of interests between the knowledge worker and organizations. I am quite confident that our patented system represents more of a revolutionary leap than an incremental step. Trust me it was much, much, much more difficult than the efforts I have observed in crowd sourcing, open innovation and lean venturing, or indeed most corp innovation. Most of the easy problems were solved long ago -- the really tough ones require an appropriate effort -- very few have or are afforded the patience.

Intermarriage: From a Sociological Perspective
By Nathan Goldberg, Bernard Resnikoff
UJA-Federation of New York, 1965
The attitude of Jewish men and women towards intermarriage has changed throughout the generations, which reflects a change in their values. Contemporary Jewish communities are less tradition-oriented, more this-worldly directed and individual-centered. As a result of that, the intermarriage rate rises. The presenter outlines changing patterns of intermarriage related to periodical social trends and public policies from 1875 till the 1960s. The latest, most influential cause is the "Jewish immigrant" who has been assimilated into the modern, secular, science-oriented American society. A following discussion displays the social-worker point of view towards the intermarriage phenomenon and possible actions he can take in order to deal with it.
