Peace offerings
Laura Walter exhibition in Ventura
Artist Laura Walter focuses on peace in her solo show, "Journeys Through Peace," at the Buenaventura Gallery in Ventura through Sept. 6. She will be in the gallery to discuss her work during a reception 5-8 p.m. Sept. 5 during First Fridays Ventura.
"I've been working on this show for a year," said the Ventura painter, who also is a symphony flutist and Westmont College music instructor. "In this show I'm exploring the various inner states that people have to find their peaceful place. It can be traveling, being in other cultures, or being in nature."
Her watercolor paintings interpret peace or contemplate the prospect of peace, especially in times of conflict.
"Whether traveling through Israel or hiking in the national parks, I love thinking about the process of calming down," Walter added. "In these watercolor paintings, I explore color, texture and story." A watercolor, "Zion Gate," is displayed here.
Walter started painting seriously 14 years ago. Her favorite subjects are people, landscapes and, she noted, rocks.
"In this show I have a lot of rocks. … Rocks appeal to me because they seem to be so permanent and constant. Of course they are not; they are always changing, but so slowly that we are not always aware of it. I am interested in symbols of stability."
She discovered plenty of rocks during her travels to Israel and southern Utah.
"I love exploring both of these diverse areas," she said. Rocks were not the only link between the two locales. "Once I started painting and choosing subjects, I realized there were further juxtapositions: the Jordan River and the Virgin River; Zion Gate and Zion Canyon; petrified sand dunes and petrified people."
Hours for the closing week of Walter's show are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays at 700 E. Santa Clara St., Ventura. For more information, call 648-1235 during gallery hours or visit buenaventuragallery.org.

Distortion, Deflection Prediction Capabilities Added to CAE Software
Part distortion and tool deflection are available as an upgrade to Third Wave System's Production Module CAE software.
New Product Post: 12/13/2011
Related Topics:
Part distortion and tool deflection are available as an upgrade to Third Wave System's Production Module CAE software, which is designed to provide a comprehensive solution for toolpath analysis and optimization. With the upgrade, Production Module users will be able to analyze legacy and new machining strategies with consideration not only for tool performance and production times, but also for the dimensional accuracy of final parts. With the ability to simulate, analyze and visualize multiple part geometries and their impact on distortion, Production Module may also be used earlier in the product design cycle by engineers looking to design products for future manufacturability.
Instead of making machining improvements based on trial-and-error tests, or sending parts out for secondary operations after machining, manufacturers can identify machining parameters to optimize part quality in minutes, the company says.
The software reads five-axis APT and G codes, permits importing of STEP and STL files, incorporates a database of workpiece bulk stresses, and automatically generates a thin-wall mesh. It automatically models factors such as cutting force distribution along the flute length, instantaneous cutting forces, and changes in cross-sectional moments of inertia along a tapered tool.

A Holiday Treat: Grilled Jackass – Turd Ferguson Speaks with Jim Willie
OK, so here's the deal. We've made it through the doldrums. For over 100 days, gold and silver have based and consolidated and, this week, they have finally broken out. Now, before the fireworks begin, we have a 3-day weekend. Knowing that you've got some time to kill over the next few days, I figured that today was the perfect time to give the mic to The Jackass.

Decided to pursue your academic goals even further in London? That's an excellent idea! Let us show you this nice house in Brixton, where you'll have everything you need so you can embark on your adventure every day with a rested mind and body.
The property comes with a double bedroom, a bathroom, a kitchen and a living room, as well as a WC. The bedroom is very cosy and bright - you'll feel right at home. The kitchen is modern and has the basic utensils you need for your cooking. The living room is very comfy and homely. There's also an extra room that you can use as you wish. You'll be close to the Loughborough Junction train station and there are lots of green areas around the house.
Looks like no one had the time to review this place yet!
These conditions were defined by the Provider and are subject to change.
We have not verified this property yet. We are working on having it fully verified as soon as possible.
Getting Around
Path to university
At Uniplaces we make the process of booking an apartment as easy as possible for both tenant and landlord.
That's why we have our own team of professional photographers that verify our properties and pick our landlords carefully in order to save time on viewings: we think it's old-fashioned and time-consuming.
You can look at forty different apartments on our platform in the same amount of time that it takes to see a room.
The pictures you see here haven't been photoshopped, so they'll be really accurate.
If you've still got any doubts, we'll keep the money that you transfer us until 24h after your move-in date.
If something's not exactly what you saw online, we'll help you move somewhere else and return your money.
We can only give you the contact details of your landlord after your booking is accepted. But we can guarantee that Uniplaces chooses the landlords it works with very carefully.
Besides, we've had students whose favourite part was living with a local!
Landlords and host families can be great city guides, help you out with translations and even become your friends.
As soon as your booking is accepted, you're given the landlord's contact details. Then, you can discuss all details directly with them, such as when you'll be moving-in.
Students move in and out at different times, so your flatmates might change during your stay.
It's a great opportunity to make new friends!
We personally speak to students who we place in Uniplaces apartments and are sure we will find the right place for you as well!
At the bottom of the property page, you have a calendar where you can see the availability of that room/apartment, according to the landlord.
But if you're still unsure about that we're happy to help.
Tell us your move-in and move-out dates and we will double-check if the place is available for you!
There are two different types of deposits: the Holding and Security deposits.
By clicking on "Deposit" at the bottom of the offer page you will get more information about each type of deposit.
In general, the deposit is paid to cover for any potential damages that may occur during your period of stay or will be used as rent compensation in case you leave earlier than originally planned.
If no damages occur and you leave on the agreed move-out date, your deposit should be refunded by the landlord in a way you both agree on.

Frankly every other online content distribution system should just give up on classic first-person shooters now because Steam has got just about every one worth having. In a joint announcement at QuakeCon, iD Software and Valve are releasing a huge back-catalogue of games such as Quake, Return to Castle Wolfenstein and Doom on to the Steam network. Various packs are available including the entire iD back catalogue for around £35.
What's great is that if you purchase via Steam, it's guaranteed the game will work under XP and Vista, whereas if you bought them in CD in shop, that wouldn't be the case. Wouldn't it be great if they could do the same deal with the early Star Wars games such as Tie Fighter?
With titles such as Enemy Territory: Quake Wars and the newly-announced Rage soon coming from iD it will be interesting to see whether any of these games will be available via Steam as well.
The main interest of this announcement, to me at least, is the ever growing support for the online distribution format from several big developers. With iD, Valve and EA all offering online purchase for their games, one can't help but wonder how long the traditional CD/DVD distribution method can survive.

Fan Killed After UF-FSU Game
By Gavin Johnson, WCJB TV20 News
A fan in town for the Florida/Flordia State football game is dead tonight, after he was gunned down in a Gainesville parking garage. Early this morning the 22-year-old was shot while leaving the Southwest Downtown Parking Garage.
Kristopher Arosemena was sitting in right behind his brother Andrew. When police say these two men walked up to the car they were sitting in. Kristopher Arosemena, says "I didn't see them until they got to the window and that's when i put my arm around my brother and said what's the problem here. and before i could say that he pulls out a pistol and shoots my brother right in the head."
Right now some things are still unclear. Police say a man in the black shirt shot Arosemena. But Arosemena's brother says it was the man in the white shirt. If you have any information about who shot Andrew Arosemena, you're asked to call crime stoppers at 372-STOP.

Source: U.S. News & World Report America's Best Graduate Schools
The college of engineering is the largest college on the Texas A&M campus, and one of the largest in the country, with more than 16,000 engineering students enrolled in our 14 departments. Texas A&M is ranked 14th nationally in the number of National Merit Scholars, and more than 50 percent of the university's National Merit Scholars are engineering students. The college is ranked seventh in engineering graduate programs and eighth in undergraduate engineering programs among public institutions by the U.S. News & World Report.
Our students can enhance the value of their degrees through various certificate programs, undergraduate research opportunities and by participating in various design competitions, such as the steel bridge contest and the SAE hybrid car contest. Our students can also choose from more than 40 different engineering student organizations and earn valuable job experience through co-ops and internships.
Our engineering graduates are among the most highly recruited in the country. They typically receive two or more job offers with higher-than-average salaries at graduation. In fact, The Wall Street Journal ranked Texas A&M second in a 2010 survey in which large U.S. companies, nonprofits and government agencies rated schools on the basis of whose graduates were best prepared and most able to succeed. And our graduate students are highly sought after by industry, national laboratories, and academia.
Texas A&M has more than 500 faculty members, several of whom are National Academy of Engineering members, and fellows of their respective professional societies. They are also editors of their respective flagship journals and are recognized at national and international levels for their contributions.
We have also invested in our up-and-coming young faculty. Since 2003, 73 have received the prestigious Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Award from the National Science Foundation. This award supports junior faculty by simulating the discovery process in which the excitement of research is enhanced by inspired teaching and enthusiastic learning. And since 2003, four junior faculty members have received the Presidential Early Career Awards for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE), the highest honor bestowed by the United States government on young professionals in the early stages of their independent research careers.
Our researchers have established preeminence in the areas of energy, homeland and national security, engineering the ultra-small and space exploration. Underlying technologies that propelled the college to the forefront of the above research areas include mathematical modeling and simulation, optimization, mechanics, sensors, structures, robotics, autonomous vehicles, communications and networks, process engineering, materials, and computational sciences.
Having established national and international reputations in these areas, our researchers have expanded into the areas of sustainable advanced energy systems; national security; health care; infrastructure and transportation; and informatics and knowledge economy.
The quality of our research activities is highlighted by the direct impact of our research on technology; volume of peer reviewed research funding from highly competitive sources; volume of publications in high impact refereed journals; number of patents; volume of widely used textbooks; and national rankings of our programs.

Look at me, look at me...I'm two today! I am so excited because I've see the goodness that goes on around here when one of meowmy's furry friends has a birthday...even the rat dogs! Meowmy says it's sort of bratty to brag about the birthday and scream "look at me, look at me"...but I don't care. It IS my birthday and 2 years old is very important. I'm practically an adult.
She's gone to work now but I will sit at the back door and wait because that's when all the fun begins. She even sang Happy Birthday to me this morning. Oh boy! Wait, maybe I'll sleep all day so I have plenty of energy for the celebration later.
Yep, that's what I'll do. Nap until meowmy gets home. See ya later guys!
Meow for now,
I know Meowmy is late! I have been chasing her around to update my blog...and nothing. Finally she is sitting down to do it. There is so much to say. I am HUGE now! Meowmy had to buy a roller carrier for me because she said a regular carrier was just ridiculous. I think it's funny, probably since I don't have to carry it.
I still live with the little rat dogs. Lucy and Gracie are my faves. Really Lucy is my fave. Gracie is nice. Izzie Belle can move out any day now! All I want to do is play with her and she starts hollering the second I cross her path.
Meowmy went away for the holidays. I don't think she'll be doing that again. She took the rats and left me at home by myself for a whole day! I suppose she thought the TV would keep me company but that didn't do it. I destroyed the rat dogs' litter box and dragged their beds all over the house. It was fun but meowmy was not amused when she got back. Next time, she'll take me with her! ;)
Now that the holidays are over, we are back in a pretty good routine again. I think pretty soon that doctor is going to stick me with a needle. Doesn't that happen every year? I don't like that but meowmy gives me a treat afterwards so maybe I'll behave. Can you believe I am going to be 2 years old this March!? I am thinking about what I want for my birthday and pawing all over the house to give meowmy hints. Let's see how smart she is.
Meow for now,
Hi everyone! Happy New Year!
It has been a fantastic year hasn't it?! I was born this year...I got three doggy sisters and I met my new meowmy! Great year.
2011 should be great too because I get a birthday soon. March 13, 2011 I will be a whole 1 YEAR OLD! I cannot wait because I've seen what happens around here when the girls have birthdays. Paaarty!
Anyway, I just wanted to wish all of you a very Happy New Year of health, purrs and catnip.
I've got to get meowmy to post new pics because I am finally growing into my tail.
Meow for now,

How step children can cause friction in your marriage.Submitted by email@example.com on Mon, 04/11/2011 - 7:34pm
So here's the scenario: A couple is happily married. The woman has a child who lives with the new couple. The husband has had children from a previous relationship. The husband's children have not accepted their father's new wife. And there is always friction. How does the wife deal with this situation to command respect from these children while avoiding bring friction into their union? What should the husband's role in all this?
- email@example.com's blog

1st of all, unless you want
1st of all, unless you want every bot on the planet sending you ads, I'd change your name here.
The wife is not able to command a belch from her stepchildren. The sooner she figures that out, the more at peace she will be.
The husband is either a part of a union or he is not. If he is, he may have a good head on his shoulders in terms of parenting. If he is not, he is on his way to destroying everyone and everything in this scenario.
The last thing this society needs are more entitled Lindsey Lohans, and that's what he'll get if he gives his kids the idea that they are entitled and empowers them over you... even with his silence.
I totally disagree with your
I totally disagree with your comment that it's okay for the kid to "destroy the house, refuse to do chores". This is YOUR home with your husband and they are the children regardless of who gave birth. Why does everyone talk about disengaging here? They are children who will someday be adults. It is the role of ALL the adults in their life to give them the tools they need to succeed in life. There isn't a college, job, roommate, significant other who will not expect them to contribute their fair share. It is our job, all of our jobs to teach them by example. Disengaging is not the answer. I expect no more from my SC than I expect from my BC. Period!
Another one of "those" people
Another one of "those" people who thinks it "takes a village" to raise a kid? *insert eye roll here*
It does not. It takes that childs two PARENTS. The Stepparent is under NO obligation to raise kids who disrespect them, intentionally set out to destroy their lives, lie, cheat and steal. Self preservation sometimes is the name of the game.
"Everyone" talks about disengaging here because we've dealt with years and years of abuse. And NO ONE has to tolerate that just because the thug dealing the abuse is someone elses kid.
If your skids are perfect, rock on. Be that perfect Stepford wife/Step Mom. But for some of us, it's a harder path that I would guess you probably have no concept of. I remember being a new SM...all Pollyanna, we're all going to be one big happy family. I'll effect positive change in their lives, we'll be the perfect blended family, we'll hold hangs and sing Kumbaya and ...barf. Reality hit.
If it's important to you, you'll find a way. If it's not, you'll find an excuse.
Nobody can hurt me without my permission.

Ahhh yet another post
Ahhh yet another post referring to what the children are "entitled" to.
Children really are "entitled" to correction from adults. From all adults.... well, except their stepmothers.
Perhaps the SP is under no
Perhaps the SP is under no obligation to raise kids who disrespect them, but if self-preservation is the name of the game, does that not include making our homes OURS? If my DH refused to parent his children while they were in OUR home, I wouldn't hesitate to step in & demand courtesy & respect for me in my home. THAT is part of self-preservation.
Thankfully my DH is not a guilty parent & hasn't been in the time I've known him. I can't imagine living in a house with stepkids ruling & me not speaking up. In that case, I'm allowing them to run my home.
DH & I have rules for our home. We expect each other to follow them, & anyone who enters is expected to follow them as well. Top of the list are RESPECT & COURTESY. We pick up after ourselves. If kids are in your home, parent or not, that gives you the authority to enforce the rules. Otherwise you're turning your home over to the kids.
"Women are angels & when someone breaks our wings we simply continue to fly...on a broomstick. We are flexible like that."
Where is the LIKE button when
Where is the LIKE button when you need it. LIKE this comment very much! I think if one is truly able to disengage, that's great but I can't seem to do it totally. I wish I could be indifferent but I just can't. I certainly can't let SS do whatever the hell he wants while I am under the same roof and if DH does not correct him on something, I will certainly do it if I'm witness to whatever behavior needs correcting. I'm home with him in the afternoons since I work from home so I've had to put my foot down, enforce rules and correct behavior. As far as I'm concerned, he's a kid, I'm the adult and there is a hierarchy to be followed in our house, step parent or not. DH has the same authority over my DD as well. Now, at BM and her hubby's house, she has 3 stepkids full time plus SS EOWE and she does the completely separate parenting even in the face of gross disrespect from the skids. It's an "inmates running the asylum" situation over there!
Completely agree! I'm in a
Completely agree! I'm in a relationship now and I feel like I'm being forced to raised this boy and he isn't even technically my step yet. And I'm seriously having second thoughts whether I want to take this relationship with his dad any further because of this boy. He's a 10 year old spoiled brat with a sense of entitlement like I've never seen before and COCKY! My son is 20 and off at college, I raised him as a single mom since he was 2. I would've been the first person to knock my son down a couple notches to adjust his attitude and made him check himself before he went walking around acting and talking like he's some king sh•t and holier than thou. Now it didn't take the village to create this child and it didn't take the village to make this child believe that the world revolves around him. The village didn't drop the idiot to make sure this kid was entertained at all times creating a lack of imagination. The village didn't decide one night it was such a grand idea to conceive this child. No, it doesn't take a village. It takes the parents. But once baby becomes problematic let's call the village. It's a crock.
I've raised my son on my own and I'm damn proud. I was very young when I had him & I feel like I should be entering this new fun carefree stage of life but I don't because of this kid. I love the man I'm with and he too sees problems with his son but doesn't know what to do. I've heard excuse after excuse. I keep telling him that he's not my responsibility. The kid is a liar. He's gotten both his dad and I arrested, I got a misdemeanor for "false reporting" because the punk lied and our police department took the word of a 10 year old over mine. His dad's is a whole other story, it's a mess. I wish people would stop thinking children are so damn innocent. They'd have to be ignorant to believe that they are. Or they are being manipulated by the child. Especially the ones that say, "oh my child would never...." Really! Get off your high horse so reality can smack you across the face!
Don't feed the troll. At
Don't feed the troll. At least not until the troll has walked a few thousand miles in my shoes.....
Free-range parenting means step-kids never having to say they're sorry.
Disengaging for many of us
Disengaging for many of us protects our sanity. When we continuously try and assist in parenting these kids and get slammed for it, we have to disengage. I disengaged when things got so bad, it was either that or my DH would be divorced a second time. Even being disengaged, we still argue over BM and her lack of parenting and my husbands continually not trying to rock the boat.
Disengaging doesn't mean that we are mean to these kids, we just chose not to parent them. We continually repeat to ourselves when they do things that our bio's are not allowed to do, "Not my Kid". It helps and unless you have beaten your head against the wall against a spouse and a BM who want you to take care of their kid, but have no say in how you do it, Disengaging is all we have.
I didn't give birth to these kids and I should not have to take care of them. Trust me if I did, they would not be the people DH and BM have created.

I have to agree here,
I have to agree here, although it is sad to have to disengage at all. I never thought it would be like this, and to be honest, I can't just 'not care' fully. That is not my personality. But I have to tune out to a degree or go insane with my 2 sd's. They fully hate me and hubby does correct them but not as much as I would like or I do with my children.
One can't demand respect from
One can't demand respect from anyone. It must be earned.
There are people easy to get along, there are people who aren't easy to get along. What do you do with people yoy're uncomfortable with, you stay clear of them.
On top of so many young people feeling entitled and they're being damn near being royalty, anything you do with the father is taking something away from them. They'll want your lifestyle and what you have. IT's a fact of life. They are envious of you and not going to allow any joy, because they feel they're doing without while you and DH are enjoying life.
They're like anyone else with the mind set. Not good to be around. So when in their company, you remain cordial during their antics, you love the man, so you're courteous to his children. But it ends there. You owe them nothing but being considerate. When they mess that over, they've earned nothing.
This doesn't get better. People are what they are. They're either nice, or they're envious. Envious is very difficult to be around. So just cope with it and keep enjoying your life. None of us are promised the ideal life. So get out of your marriage what you can and try to stay cool around the unhappies.
I agree with everything you
I agree with everything you wrote, except the part about earning respect. You can't earn that with stepchildren either. You can't be overly nice and win them over. You can't ever give them correction, or you're a royal bitch. You can't own things, because you are spending their father's money. You can't win, plain and simple. And if the father is burdened with guilt, he can't stop his children from lashing out at his wife.
When you raise children with no expectations, they grow up to treat adults like hell. The stepmother is just their training ground. There is nothing she can do to turn it around. The mentality that is in need of repair is the children's issues of entitlement and insecurity.
"command respect", eh? I
"command respect", eh? I think I see the genesis of your problem.
StepAside and Done With It are right. You can't "command" anything. You can live a life worthy of respect and they'll either respect you or they won't. If they don't, there's not much you can do about it. I fully remember my ex husband...with his hands around my neck, shoving me against a wall...screaming at me "You WILL respect me". Snort. Not likely, asswipe. The more he "commanded" it, the less of it he got.
If someone shows you no respect, don't do business with them. They don't have to respect you, but I would never allow them to mistreat you, either. And, if they do...that's up to their Dad to address and stop.
He's their Dad. THAT'S his "role in all this". He should be 100% parent, you should be 0% involved if they are disrespectful to you or if there is "friction". He needs to insist that they treat you kindly and that they follow the house rules, etc. When they're in your home, treat them as temporary guests...be cordial, but keep your distance and do NOTHING for them. The raising of his kids is HIS responsibility...
If it's important to you, you'll find a way. If it's not, you'll find an excuse.
Nobody can hurt me without my permission.
Mohandas Gandhi
"Successful relationships are
"Successful relationships are based on mutual respect." My favorite quote.
Many stepchildren don't care to have a successful relationship with their own parents, nonetheless their stepparents. So what's the motivation to treat others with respect? Zero! Almost every interaction I have with my OSD involves her having no boundaries. And she's clueless. Thinks I make a big deal out of nothing. Of course! She flat out sees no reason not to screw with me, my marriage, and does whatever the hell she pleases. Don't cross her and life is grand. And she'll screw with me every time I see her. Gee, like she'd agree to those terms. She's not going to stop, she's not motivated to.
I couldn't agree more!
I couldn't agree more!
That is one loaded question!
That is one loaded question! I think the biggest factor in making the relationship work comes from the bio parents and I do mean both of them. They chose to divorce and they each need to do what it takes to respect the other one's new life and make it as good for the children to go from one home to the next but that only seems to happen in the most ideal sitautions. if you do not have the bio parents support you can anticipate problems. You do have the right to make the rules, discuss these with your husband, the boundaries you will draw and ask him what his expectations are.
I'll give you a quick example.....married husband who had custody of his sons and I had custody of my daughters. Bio mom was extrememly difficult, filled the boys' with lies and reaped heart with hate. I, on the other hand eventhought my ex was not easy to deal with, told the kids they had 2 dads and 2 moms and I expected my girls to respect their father as well as their stepmom, and stepdad. When the girls would complain about their stepmom I did not side with the girls nor did I tear my ex's wife down, I never confronted her. Even after she and my ex divorced after nearly 20 years of marriage I openly gave her thanks on Mother's Day for her part in mothering my children. Today the girls are 25 and 30 and have a good relationship with both their steps and both their bios. The boys on the other hand ahve been extrememly angry, full of blame and only get along with bio mom.
That is my standing here, as
That is my standing here, as far as my stepdaughters are concerned!

You are correct in your
You are correct in your breakdown of the family structure! At least, that is how it should be, and what we strive for in our home.
So what do you do when your
So what do you do when your husband doesn't put you before the children? I have a SD16 and a SS13. My husband has joint custody of the children. The SD16 never comes over anymore. We live 30 minutes away but she says she doesn't like it here, it really disappoints her dad so anytime she calls to ask for $$ he feels like he should give in because he never sees her. Recently she was announced to the public as a school function and gave her parents names as if they were still married.... because she didn't like the way it sounded she said to say two different last names. Now the SS13 comes over but I don't get a lot of respect...I feel as if I have to tell him to flush the toilet, throw the trash away, put the dirty clothes in the hamper, chew with your mouth closed...things a 3 to 5 year old could do. He has told me he didn't want to talk to me because he doesn't like me. Actually, a lot of the things with the SS13 are boy stuff, I do realize that... This is my first marraige, it has only been 2 years. I have no children of my own. So I have a lot of adjustments to get used too!
I actually wish the SS13 would live with us fulltime. There are more rules and structure here at our house than his mom's house. Not much disipline there, so we have no support with what we do here.
When we first got married I went out of my way to do everything for the kids. But since they have started treating me like crap, I have backed off.
Life is like Play-Doh, it is what you make it!

The festival will take place over two weekends in April. The first weekend will be April 12-April 14. The second weekend will take place on the weekend of 4.20. I wonder who will be lucky enough to perform at 4:20 pm? I can't imagine how smokey it will be there on 4.20.

A north Texas man reported Thursday that his Motorola Droid 2 smartphone exploded next to his ear as he was ending a call, resulting in a bloodied face and a trip to the hospital.
Fortunately, no hearing loss occurred, according to a report by WFAA-TV in Dallas/Forth Worth.
And yes, the phone was actually still working after the incident.

The man, Aron Embry, said he heard a loud pop from his just two-day-old phone and then felt blood running down his face as a result of the shattered glass covering, according to the report. He received four stitches at the hospital.
Motorola issued a statement that it will reach out to the customer and investigate the incident thoroughly.
Claims of exploding cell phones are rare, though not unheard of. Apple responded to claims of exploding iPhones in Europe last year, pointing fingers at customers. Battery makers have also come under fire for exploding cell phones. Reports have even surfaced of people being killed by exploding smartphones, though some reports have also proven to be exaggerated.
You'd be smart to follow Bob Brown on Twitter and Facebook.

text: Anatomy and Function of the Heart's Electrical SystemThe heart's electrical systemIn the simplest terms, the heart is a pump made up of muscle tissue. Like all muscle, the heart needs a source of energy and oxygen to function. The heart's pumping action is regulated by an electrical conduction system that coordinates the contraction of the various chambers of the heart.How does the heart beat?An electrical stimulus is generated by the sinus node (also called the sinoatrial node, or SA node). This is a small mass of specialized tissue located in the right upper chamber (atria) of the heart. The sinus node generates an electrical stimulus regularly, 60 to 100 times per minute under normal conditions. The atria are then activated. The electrical stimulus travels down through the conduction pathways and causes the heart's ventricles to contract and pump out blood. The 2 upper chambers of the heart (atria) are stimulated first and contract for a short period of time before the 2 lower chambers of the heart (ventricles). The electrical impulse travels from the sinus node to the atrioventricular node (also called AV node). There, impulses are slowed down for a very short period, then continue down the conduction pathway via the bundle of His into the ventricles. The bundle of His divides into right and left pathways, called bundle branches, to stimulate the right and left ventricles.Normally at rest, as the electrical impulse moves through the heart, the heart contracts about 60 to 100 times a minute, depending on a person's age.Each contraction of the ventricles represents one heartbeat. The atria contract a fraction of a second before the ventricles so their blood empties into the ventricles before the ventricles contract.

Leadership Council reviews growth plansPosted on Written by Richard Armstrong
The long-term growth of the industry remains the No. 1 focus of the Recreational Boating Leadership Council.
The group met the day before ABC got under way to discuss six key initiatives that a 2011 Growth Summit identified as critical to the future health of the industry. The leadership council was created during a series of three Growth Summits that the industry has held during the past two years and is tasked with game-planning growth toward the consensus vision of what boating will look like 10 years over the horizon.
This was the first meeting of the leadership council as a whole, which had met and discussed the issues separately among the six committees assigned to each long-term initiative. The more than 30 participants at the RBLC meeting represent a broad spectrum of the industry, including associations, dealerships, marinas and manufacturers.
We had a 10-year vision of what boating would look like in 2021, says Matt Gruhn, chairman of the leadership council and president of the Marine Retailers Association of the Americas. We started to make progress on the goals, but we still have a long way to go.
NMMA president Thom Dammrich is secretary of the leadership council and Westrec Marinas vice president Jim Frye is vice chairman.
The six initiative areas are advocacy, marketing, education, diversity, youth and affordability. Committee chairmen for each of the six efforts provided updates about their groups progress for implementing growth plans, prompting spirited and frank discussions lasting upward of 30 minutes.
Dammrich, who is on the advocacy committee, stressed that strength in industry advocacy will come from presenting policy-makers with a unified voice, regardless of what segment of the industry members come from. We need to bring the entire industry together to make it an efficient engine, he told the council.
An early topic of discussion was E15 and two pending bills that would stop or slow its implementation. BoatUS president Margaret Podlich says the industry has made great strides in educating members of Congress about the critical issue. Go back five years the concept that ethanol might not be good for engines could not penetrate the Beltway, she says. Now they know that ethanol has significant problems for engines at higher blends and are considering a change.
The NMMA supports two bills: HR 1462, which would cap ethanol in gasoline at 10 percent, and HR 875, which would repeal the EPAs waiver approving the sale of E15 until the agency seeks an independent scientific analysis to explore the harmful effects of the fuel blend.
Carl Blackwell, the NMMAs senior vice president of marketing and communications, gave a presentation on behalf of the marketing committee. Fun is our competitive advantage, he said, noting that the leading takeaway from viewers of the lifestyle videos from the NMMAs Welcome to the Water campaign was just that, fun, with 67 percent of viewers using the word as their description. Its not rocket science. Were selling boats. Were not selling Dove soap.
Blackwell says the Discover Boating marketing campaign is targeting a more diverse audience than the current boating community, one that is more representative of U.S. population demographics.
Diversity committee chairman Dammrich noted that the countrys growing minority population holds significant potential for sales growth. We have nearly 16 million African-American, Asian and Hispanic households in this country with household income over $50,000 and nearly 6 million over $100,000, Dammrich says. We dont have to get a lot 1 percent would be 60,000 to have a big impact on selling boats. The key is giving members of minority households exposure to and experience in recreational boating, he says.
Jon Kukuk, owner of Nestegg Marine in Marinette, Wis., and chairman of the Wisconsin Marina Association, heads the leadership councils education committee. He noted that only two-thirds of boaters nationwide take some form of education course. We have work to do there. Kukuk says his committee is looking into ways to increase education including hands-on, on-the-water training, which many in the industry believe is key to growing the sport whether the consumer pays for it or dealers who see the expense as money well spent when it comes to sales do so. If we can get dealers to buy into education as a means to spur sales, we may see boat education take off, he says.
Youth committee co-chairmen George Harris, Northwest Marine Trades Association president and CEO, and Sea Scouts national director Keith Christopher reported that their committee is building a national database on youth boating programs. Harris called on all members of the industry to contribute program suggestions based on their local knowledge. With a comprehensive database, the committee then plans to develop ways to promote the diverse collection of programs nationally. They typically have little or no marketing budget.
Affordability committee co-chairman Jim Coburn, managing partner at Coburn & Associates, said his group is discussing strategies for getting a better understanding of boat buyers habits, with a focus on key entry points for the new- and used-boat markets. These include the potential for added buyer/owner education, greater transparency by developing an actual cost of boating database and promotion of the lifestyle by the industry and boat owners. Its clear to us that the affordability issue ties to everything weve talked about here today, Coburn said.
The leadership council tentatively agreed to meet again in December at a location to be determined.

Raman spectroscopic study of the molecular structure of the uranyl mineral zippeite from Jáchymov (Joachimsthal), Czech Republic
Frost, Ray L., Cejka, Jiri, Bostrom, Thor E., Weier, Matt L., & Martens, Wayde N. (2007) Raman spectroscopic study of the molecular structure of the uranyl mineral zippeite from Jáchymov (Joachimsthal), Czech Republic. Spectrochimica Acta Part A: Molecular and Biomolecular Spectroscopy, 67(5), 1220 -1227.
|PDF (203kB)
Raman spectra at 298 and 77 K and infrared spectra of the uranyl sulfate mineral zippeite from Jáchymov (Joachimsthal), Czech Republic, K0.6(H3O)0.4[(UO2)6(SO4)3(OH)7].8 H2O, were studied. Observed bands were tentatively attributed to the (UO2)2+ and (SO4)2- stretching and bending vibrations, the OH stretching vibrations of water molecules, hydroxyls and oxonium ions, and H2O, oxonium , and δU-OH bending vibrations. Empirical relations were used for the calculation of U-O bond lengths in uranyl R = f(V3 or V1 (UO2)2+) Å. Calculated U-O bond lengths are in agreement with U-O bond lengths from the single crystal structure analysis and those inferred for uranyl anion sheet topology of uranyl pentagonal dipyramidal coordination polyhedra. The number of observed bands supports the conclusion from single crystal structure analysis that at least two symmetrically distinct U6+ (in uranyls) and S6+ (in sulfates), water molecules and hydroxyls may be present in the crystal structure of the zippeite studied. Strong to very weak hydrogen bonds present in the crystal structure of zippeite studied were inferred from the IR spectra.

I'll be out of town for a week and don't expect to be able to blog, but I wanted to get something in, so this one's a quickie.
I never managed to snag Vols. 1-3 of the legendary Africa Roots series, recorded at the Melkweg in Amsterdam in the early '80s. I did get hold of the fourth and final (?) installment, and what a wonderful recording it is!
Click on the picture below to read about the artists and the songs. The standout here is Mali's legendary Salif Keita along with the equally fabled Kante Manfila and Ousmane Kouyate, who deliver a scorching rendition of the Ambassadeurs classic "Primpin." Senegal's Baaba Maal, Algeria's Cheb Mami, Angola's Bonga and A.B. Crentsil from Ghana don't disappoint either with inspired renditions of some of their greatest songs. It's all good!
Listening to these tracks will take some of you back to the exciting days of the '80s when every day brought a new revelation for us African music fans and World Music™ had yet to be conceived. Enjoy!

How often do you hear an album on which Baaba Maal's contribution is perhaps the least interesting?! Rare or unique - - but here's on where everyone else is so on fire, he seems to be in their shade (perhaps having his songs cut short didn't help!). Strong strong songs from Bonga & Crentsil, and a lovely rootsy one from Algeria, the best kind of rai! Fantastic album, this one is going round and round on my ipod for a bit! An enormous thank you for the post!

Juvederm and Belotero for Mid Face Rejuvenation - Vienna, VA
I spend so much time researching things on Realself I figured I'd return the favor and do a review lol. I had one cc of Belotero injected into my tear troughs and 1cc of Juvederm into my cheeks. I had some bleeding which has caused major (in my opinion) bruising. I was initially scared that it was the tyndall effect but I had a follow up with my Dr. today and he has assured me it is not.
