While I'm only on my 3rd week [2nd tray], I'm truly anticipating the awesome results. If you ask me, this is completely worth it & will probably be the best money I have ever spent on myself.
After having traditional braces as a teen, between wisdom teeth & not wearing my retainer, my mouth was thrown for a loop. My teeth weren't nearly as crooked as they originally were pre-traditional braces, but they're still not as straight as I would have liked.
Finally, at 23 [& after having wanted to do this for a long time!], I've started my Invisalign journey. I was very surprised that my treatment will only last a little over a year [mild crowding up top with severe crowding on the bottom]--just in time for my 2010 wedding!
So far, the only ones who have noticed that I'm wearing the aligners are those I have told about them! Unless, ofcourse you're 2 inches away from my face, which is not typical, you can't notice them.. and no one has!
You should know in advance, however, that Invisalign definitely requires a great amount of dedication. Why? Because you will..
-Have to wear the aligners for 20-22 hours at day
-Clean the trays often, otherwise they will be come cloudy and/or stink
-Brush after each time you eat
-Visit your Invisalign dentist/ortho roughly once a month during treatment to receive new sets of trays & check up on your progress.
As far as discomfort during treatment, mine has been minimal to nonexistent. The first tray was the worst--I'm sure it was because my teeth hadn't been forced to move in quite a long time. They were quite sore, but that's really it. After a couple of days, I didn't even realize the trays were in & was completely used to it. Every new tray is pretty tight at first, but again, this feeling lasts for only a few days.
This truly is the best alternative to straighten your teeth, without blatantly visible braces. If you are seriously considering Invisalign, do it. I absolutely recommend it!
This Beats Traditional Braces by a Landslide.

PolitiFact is a fact-checking website that the Tampa Bay Times started in 2007. It is unique because PolitiFact reporters not only write a traditional article when they fact-check a claim, they also make a rating on PolitiFact's Truth-O-Meter, from True to our lowest rating, Pants on Fire.
We founded PolitiFact because we wanted to help readers sort out the truth in politics. Journalists had traditionally avoided making conclusions about whether something was true or false. But we felt that in an information age when people are bombarded with information from all sides, it is helpful to tell them what is accurate and what's not.
PolitiFact, which won the Pulitzer Prize for national reporting in 2009, has been featured on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart, the Colbert Report, the Today Show and many other television programs.

Percy Weasely might've left Hogwarts early, but the actor responsible for bringing him to life in the Harry Potter movies has been tipped to join the cast of The Stone – a brand new psycho thriller set to shoot soon.
The movie is set to begin filming in February and is the brainchild of author and filmmaker Philip Gardiner and is said to be a multi-leveled psychological thriller with encoded meanings throughout. The production team is taken from across the British filmmaking sector and includes many who have worked on such films as Casino Royale, Harry Potter, Shaun of the Dead, Mission Impossible and more.
While we don't know much about it at this point (the press release was incredibly coy with the plot details), we'll keep you posted on this one as soon as we have more info to share with ya.

Gigabyte has been showing off its latest gaming keyboard and mouse out here at Computex and both of them look rather impressive. However, it was the keyboard in particular that caught our eye at first because it seems to have taken rather a lot of ispiration from a certain italian supercar manufacturer. Certainly if the resemblance to Lamboughini's cars isn't glaring at first, comparing it to Asus's official Lamborghini branded laptops (like the VX2 and VX3) should confirm things for you.
Rip-off, dedication, conincidence: whatever you call it, the K8100 keyboard does actually look like a nice piece of kit. Ironically, we do rather like the styling and the layout and key action also seems decent – though with regards the latter it's not on the level of premium keyboards like the Steel Series 7G – and there are some neat features as well.
In the top left hand corner is a mode switch for changing between macro configurations while there are a couple USB ports for connecting further USB devices. There's also a touch-sensitive volume control along the top edge. Pricing was only available in US dollars and we got a figure of less than $80 with it becoming available in July.

DENVER (AP) — A judge on Friday denied a request from lawyers for FoxNews.com reporter Jana Winter to view a notebook that the Colorado theater shooting suspect sent to a psychiatrist before the attack.
Citing unidentified law enforcement sources, Winter reported last year that the notebook contained violent drawings. The notebook's contents haven't been publicly confirmed.
Holmes' lawyers contend that Winter's sources violated a gag order in discussing the notebook, and they want to know their identities. They say officers who have denied being Winters' sources may have lied, undermining their credibility as trial witnesses.
Winter's lawyers had asked to see the notebook's contents so they could better argue why Winter shouldn't have to reveal her sources.

Please see my comment above for this.
You need the usb to serial adapter to program the display; the Arduino has to be programmed separately prior to interfacing the display to the Arduino using the display shield.
I've used it for updating values real-time at a report rate of 15ms …
You'd have to program the display and Arduino separately - details for these are present in the Application Notes for ViSi-Genie.
Hi, I was actually wondering which of these retail options (uLCD-32-PTU-GFX, uLCD-32-PTU-AR or the uLCD-32PTU starter kit) would be most suitable for programming the screen using VisiGenie and subsequently using it as a standalone module (without interfacing with an Arduino, etc) for interacting with sensors, etc?
No public wish lists :(

Removing large evergreen bush
Hi guys/gals.
I've got these three large bushes in my backyard. The best way I can describe them is "evergreen". I know the evergreen is a tree, but I think that's what these are. You've probably all seen them. Thick, prickly green shrubs. Anyways, I want to get rid of these and plant something a little smaller in their place. What kind of job am I looking at as far as getting rid of these? I've cut one down to just stumps, the stumps range from 2-3" diameter. Are these roots gonna be a 8itch to remove, are there any special tools I will need, etc...etc... Thanks for any and all input.
Need just a little more information to give a good answer. What are you going to do in that area? Just get rid of them, replant with other shrubs? "Thick, prickly green shrubs" sounds like Ilex rotunda, chinese holly. They will come back from the stump. A common way of pruning with by chainsaw, really! If you only want to remove them with no other particular plan, just cut them as low as possible and don't worry about the roots. A note here- with most shrubs like this, get some Roundup or other brush killer (triclopyr) and immediately after cutting wash the cut with straight, undiluted herbicide.
One time I had a long row of hedges to take out. I cut the hedge down as close to the ground as possible; and ,then rented a small to medium size stump grinder. The stump grinder was easy to use and did the job very well. Job done.
Other times when there are just a few bushes; I cut close to the ground , then dig and cut the roots as much as possible. This is more work and more time consuming than using a stump grinder; but, it will work.
I wish I was more of a horticultural buff, so I could just name them. I've googled around and tried to image them, but can't. Anyways, they're definetely not Chinese Holly or Ilex Rotunda. My bushes don't have leaves like that, they're more like long branches covered in very small nettles. Not like an evergreen, but very thick and prickly.
To answer the question, yes I want to plant some smaller shrubbery in the area, so I would like to get the roots out. If I cut down to stumps, and pull the stumps along with some of the surrounding roots, would the remaining underground roots likely die, or would I need to worry about these coming back a ways down the line? I may look into a stump grinder. Thanks for the respones so far.
Just a little confused- Are these evergreen or do they lose their leaves in the winter. FYI, evergreens can be trees or shrubs.
Sorry for getting ahead of you but Ilex is holly, Ilex cornuta 'Rotunda is one of the Chinese hollies. Generally speaking hollies are of either chinese origin (usually the big, bad ones) or the smaller leaved japanese variety.
Can you describe what you call "nettles?" I am thinking perhaps one of the Broomes. They have stems that stay green year-round but loose their leaves in the winter with yellow blooms in the spring. Stems are prickly, but not what I call nettles.
Also, thinking maybe one of the barberies. I call them litter catchers.
Take part of one to your local county extension office. They can help you identify it. This is important mainly in regards to whether your particular bush is one that suckers. In that case, getting most of the roots out would be beneficial. While I hold that 95 percent of a landscaping job is site preparation, I don't believe in wasting effort. It is entirely possible that any roots left after you remove the bush would be a moot point, unless you just prefer to have the area cleared a little more thoroughly. I can't argue with a little extra diligence.
Good luck and keep us posted!
they don't lose their leaves at all. They stay green all year. I'll do some more research and post back on what it is. Thanks all so far...
Okay, so I took a small branch off one of the remaining shrubs and brought it to the local Home Depot. It looks and feels like a Juniper shrub. Knowing this, can anyone tell me how much of a job it will be to remove these roots, and if I even need to? Again, I do plan on replanting some smaller shrubbery in the area. Thanks, Mike
If they are Junipers, roots will not be a problem to leave. If you want to dig them out, get a mattock and "git er done." I can see where you would describe the tiny needles as nettles, they are scratchy to work around. I just cut several down that I planted about ten years ago at the edge of the road to buffer some of the noise. Juniperus chinensis hetzii comes in low and round as well as tall. Just didn't pay attention when I picked them up as 1 gallons or someone had put the wrong sign in front of them. I did not worry about the roots on mine. I ran them through a small chipper, but them right back and replanted with mixed shrubs that I know will stay low. Good luck on your job.:thumbsup:
PS- If I can find them and get them to send as attachment, I will post some pics in a couple of days.
Don't cut them down,...
Attach a Chain to them at ground level, reasonably Tight,...
Then hook the other end of the chain to a pickup truck,+ Go to Town.....
A couple of Good Tugs should get you some ground that's almost ready for Planting....
unfortunately, they are in my backyard, so tugging with a truck is not an option. Well, this is good news that I don't need to dig them completely out. thanks for all the help again. Mike

About the show
Playing tracks by
En Vogue, Roni Size & DJ Die, Roni Size, Firefox, Firefox & Survivor and more.
The second mix I've made in the run up to my album release on March 19th 2012 is about history - a collection of some of my favourite productions from Roni Size, DJ Die, DJ Krust and Suv from the mid to late 90s.
** Side B is HERE: Bristol Drum & Bass Mix: Side B **
The sheer volume and variety of releases these guys put out in a 5 year period was amazing, and the sound and style of these records had a big influence on me. They moved effortlessly between lighter melodic productions and heavy tear out tracks, but there was always a common thread, whether they were working individually or collectively. Many of these tracks are great examples of just how much you can do with not much more than some drums and a bassline.

) i do tend to have sensitive skin though..like i have rosacea and i burn easy. its just funny cause since going cg my scalp has gotten better, then this happens.
it is not red it has a white thick scab over it (sorry if im grossing anyone out) when i did pick at it (the first couple days) it dident "bleed" it was just a little bit of clear fluid.
Anyways i think im just gonna do like you ladies suggested and instead of using giovanni 50/50 im going to get the TTTT. I only low poo like 2 times a month (at least that is what i did this past month) so hopefully that will help. Thanks again for the advise and support i appreciate it!!!
Mostly 3a with a little 2c around the front and 3b mixed in the back,
Fine with normal to thick hair, with low porosity
low-poo~giovanni 50/50 (1 to 2 times a month)
co-wash~TJ Nourishing Spa cond (2 to 3 times weekly for scalp)

The final Old Firm skirmish of the season, at Celtic Park on Tuesday, is the kind of event that could prompt the satellite broadcaster, having paid for the right to show live pictures of what it was led to believe would be the climactic match of the SPL campaign, to demand a rebate.
Rangers completed the formality of securing their second successive championship a week ago and did so by such a convincing margin that not even a heavy defeat by their fiercest rivals could deny their followers the right to a loud, sustained gloat.
There is, however, a certain truth to the widely held view that no collision of the Glasgow giants is ever meaningless. The significance of this renewal is the search, by the home support, for signs of a genuine resurgence of spirit in a group of players whose most pronounced flaw in the months under Tony Mowbray was a tendency towards spinelessness.
It is not enough that, in the hands of the caretaker, Neil Lennon, Celtic went into yesterday's home match against Motherwell having racked up five straight league victories, an achievement without precedent this season. Admirable though that series may be, none of the wins were over the only opponents who count as a measure of Celtic's recovery from the demoralising effect of the Mowbray era.
Nor has it been forgotten that Lennon's run of rewarding results was punctuated by the scandal of the performance against Ross County in the Scottish Cup semi-final, the First Division side's 2-0 victory denying the most prolific winners of the old trophy an opportunity to extend their record haul.
The swaths of empty seats at Celtic Park during Lennon's five-week tenure are testimony to the uncertainty that continues to bedevil a support trying to come to terms with the directorial errors of judgment that transformed their team from dominant force into distant runners-up, in what is universally perceived as a two-horse race.
It was in January last year, during what proved to be Gordon Strachan's last season as manager, that the chairman, John Reid, chief executive, Peter Lawwell and largest individual shareholder, Dermot Desmond failed to exploit an advantage over Rangers that could have left the Ibrox club in an even deeper financial mess than the one from which they are presently trying to save themselves.
Celtic's 1-0 victory in the Old Firm match at Ibrox at the end of December gave them a seven-point lead at the opening of the January transfer window. It seemed to be sufficient to convince the directors there was no need to add to the playing squad, thereby committing the cardinal sin of snubbing one of football's most durable axioms: that clubs should strengthen when they are ahead.
It was already well known that Rangers were in serious debt and that failure to win the championship and reach the lucrative group stage of the Champions League could have potentially disastrous repercussions. In the event, it was Celtic who collapsed and who compounded their misjudgment with the appointment of the inadequate Mowbray, giving a moderate Rangers side the chance to win two titles.
The resentment that has been simmering over these faux pas will doubtless come to the boil at times on Tuesday, as a gleeful visiting support remind their green and white counterparts of their present slump towards depression.
For the Parkhead directors, the match will be a severe test of their customers' allegiance. Already anticipating a shrinkage in the number of season ticket renewals, they have been rushing to assure fans that prices have been frozen for a third successive year.
However, no amount of "bargains" will be sufficient to prevent catastrophic sales figures in the event of another poor performance against their chief tormentors. In this respect, the match could legitimately be described as Celtic's most crucial of the season.

Chillicothe's Timmy Beard is headed to West Virginia State University.
Beard rushed for a combined 1,000 yards for Coach Ron Hinton the last two seasons. His senior season was hampered by a leg injury. Beard was afraid he'd not be able to play football in college, "I was pretty worried I wasn't going to be able to play football becuase of my injury, but I got over that, and I'm here now. So, I'm pretty excited."
He managed to come back for the last couple of games of the 2012 football season and recovered well enough to particiapte on the Cavsa Basketball team at forward for Coach Drew Meister's club.
Beard, who plans to study Pre-Med, will join teammate Luke Barnes as a Yellow Jacket. West Virginia State is located outside of Charleston.

McDaniel tailgating # 6 in the nation
All of America now knows what the McDaniel community has known for almost a century. Green Terror tailgating is among the best in the nation. The Weather Channel rated McDaniel #6 – ranking the college's tradition on top with Division I powerhouses Ole Miss (#1), West Point (#5), and the universities of Washington (#7), Tennessee (#2), Michigan (#3), and South Carolina (#4).
TWC's Top Tailgaters premiered at 9 p.m. Oct. 18 and featured hundreds of Green Terror fans lining McDaniel's drive-in stadium and letter-painted hillside, cheering McDaniel to a 35-14 win over Moravian.
If you missed the premiere, the show, part of TWC's TopTober programming, will repeat additional times and dates – check The Weather Channel listings for those times and dates.

Hi. I'm Dr. Gavin Sandercoe and this is a short clip about body contouring. When you lose weight, uh, whether it be through diet and exercise or after bariatric surgery, you're gonna be left with lots of loose skin. Some people's skin suck-up and shrink back better than others. Stretch marks really give you a good signal that the elastic in your skin has been stretched beyond its capability and it's not going to rebound. Once you've done all the hard work and you've lost that weight, what you do wanna do is have your body back. The important thing is you can get rid of that excess skin. There are Medicare item numbers that make it claimable and many of the Medicare item numbers are, are coming unless the health fads. The important thing is to see a specialist plastic surgeon, uh, about your options. The bigger the problem, the longer the scar needs to be to address the problem. There's lots of great-, short, short scar variance of many of the operations that we do, arm lifts and thigh lifts and things like that. But the short scar options are really only address small deformities, and big deformities just need to have a big scar. We'd be happy to talk to you in any states as you'd like to, uh, to come and talk to us about, uh, getting back the shape that you deserve and that you've lost all your weight.

GPS: The Global Positioning System
For your convenience, we have included GPS coordinates for each winery. This will certainly be of use to people who have Garmin, TomTom, Magellan and other GPS navigation units in their cars.
Please note that all of our
coordinates are in decimal-degrees format.
For example: 35.81807, -83.57864
If you'd like like to experiment, try copying any of our GPS coordinates and pasting them, as is, into Google Maps or Google Earth. The map will zoom in directly to that winery.
When entering our coordinates into your GPS device, please make sure you have your unit set for decimal degrees. Here's how to do this on a Garmin Nuvi; other GPS units probably work in a similar manner.
To set a
Garmin Nuvi to decimal degrees:
Click on "Where to?".
Click the down arrow.
Click "Coordinates".
Click "Format" at the bottom of the screen.
Touch the button marked "h ddd.dddddº" to select that option. (This is the decimal degrees option.)
Click "OK".
This is where you'll enter the coordinates in decimal degrees.
Enter our first number (for example: 35.81807) in the box after the "N". (This means North latitude, as in north of the equator.)
Enter our second number (for example: 83.57864) without the minus sign in the box after the "W". (This means a longitude in the Western Hemisphere.)
This may seem a little complex at first, but you'll quickly get used to it.
Converting Decimal Degrees to Hours, Minutes, Seconds
If you'd prefer to convert our decimal degrees to hours, minutes seconds, the FCC provides a web page where you can do that. Personally, we like decimal degrees because they are simple and easy to type. However, your GPS device will support other formats if that's what you like.

I betrayed my MCoupe big time today....
1 Attachment(s)
As part of the 3rd Monaco Historic GP the Ferrari dealer in Montecarlo organized a lapping session (for Ferrari's only...) on the closed GP track. we had TV, marshalls, public, the works. Number 7 Black 360 F1 is me!!!! I got the 2nd fastest time with 2'23"768. This of course got me promptly disqualified from the competition which was a regularity contest where you had to shoot for 2'53"160....but what a blast... got beat by an F50 by .5sec.
Guess all that time spent playing Gran Turismo 3 was not wasted after all :):lmao:
1 Attachment(s)
1 Attachment(s)
Wow! That looks great!
How did you get to go to this?
I assume that is the dealer's car :D
Why would they disqualify you for doing so well? :dunno: Too hard on the cars :dunno:
looks like a great time
1 Attachment(s)
Actually the car is ours, my father bought it for himself for his 70th birthday!! (pretty cool). He lives in Montecarlo and that is where the car lives as well, a great reason to visit:) I got disqualified from the "competition" part because it was a regularity contest meaning whoever went closest to an average speed of 70 kph (that's a time of 2'53''160) won.... (insurance, FIA regulations) Sorry I had more fun. The cirucuit is fiendlishly hard, there is only one braking area which is in a straight line, every other one is either on a bump, downhill or on a slight turn in. I could have gone faster but I misunderstood the ground rules: I thought I would get black flagged if I went too fast on the lap so I let up on the finish straight. I also, not knowing the track too well, did not take the (much tighter than it looks on tv) tunnel turn at full throttle. But just to put things in prospective the winner of one of the historic heats turned a winning lap at 2'21'' in a 1927 Bugatti!!!!!! and I tell you I was going at a good 85% in the corners. F1 cars turn at 1'30'' something which just seems just like Sci fi....
Cool Dads
I too had the good fortune of having a car nut dad. Couple of years ago, he got a Porsche 993 Carrera 2 S, then a 996 C2, then a C5 Vette and we had a hell of a time autocrossing the cars. We took them to Daytona, Sebring, and Moroso for DEs and schooling. Had a great time. :D
Now here in Panama, I am by myself as far as car freaks :( , but at least I have my M Coupe to run around in:lmao:
Unbelievably nice!
U R 1 fortunate person! Congrats. Monte Carlo must be an amazing place to watch the race much less driven on!:)
Way cool photos! (m)
Question? I noticed in one of the photos you were not wearing a helmet? Did anyone?
Just wanted to know.
Some wore helmets but it was not required (amazingly, but I guess you were supposed to go kind of slow...) Good thing since I did not have mine with me.

THE 1992 CAMPAIGN: The Overview; CONTEST TIGHTENS AS PEROT RESURGES AND CLINTON SLIPS
By ROBIN TONER,
Published: October 25, 1992
WASHINGTON, Oct. 24— The 1992 Presidential campaign is entering its home stretch with Ross Perot newly energized and Gov. Bill Clinton still in the lead but facing a tightening contest with President Bush, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News Poll.
The new poll, conducted Tuesday through Friday, suggests that Mr. Perot received a considerable boost from his performance in the Presidential debates and his weeks of heavy advertising. It indicates that Mr. Clinton's support has dropped since early October and that Republican attacks on his trustworthiness may be taking a toll. Mr. Bush's support, however, was not growing, according to the poll.
The upshot is a tighter race. Among the probable electorate, which reflects the likelihood of each respondent's voting on Nov. 3, Mr. Clinton now has the support of 40 percent, Mr. Bush of 35 percent and Mr. Perot of 15 percent, the poll shows. In early October, before the debates, Mr. Clinton stood at 46 percent, Mr. Bush at 38 percent and Mr. Perot at 7 percent. Elation in Bush Camp
Bush campaign officials, elated over signs in this and other polls that Mr. Clinton's substantial lead was eroding, predicted that voters were entering a new phase of decision-making that would put a premium on trust. "It's moving our way," said Charles Black, senior adviser to the Bush campaign.
But Clinton strategists disputed the Times/CBS poll, noting that other independent surveys, while showing a closer race, did not show the gap as small as five percentage points. "I never question somebody's polls," said James Carville, senior strategist for Clinton. "But this is the first private or public poll with a margin like this."
Mr. Carville added: "The race is going to tighten. I don't think there's any question about that. I just think we've got to work hard coming down the stretch." Election Seen as Over
A Washington Post poll published today showed an eight-point Clinton lead, while the Time Magazine/CNN poll released this weekend showed a seven-point gap. The Times/CBS poll, based on interviews with 1,854 adults nationwide, has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus three percentage points, which means that statistically it is in the range of the other polls.
But as the national polls tighten, Mr. Clinton retains strong leads in some of the biggest states and thus a commanding hold on the electoral map, which Republicans acknowledge will be very hard to break.
The registered voters seem to be operating under the assumption that the election is over, with 6 in 10 expecting a Clinton victory on Election Day, according to the Times/CBS poll. To some analysts, this suggests that some recent supporters of Mr. Perot may be exercising a "free vote," sending a message by backing him because they feel that neither Mr. Bush nor Mr. Clinton need their vote.
Geoffrey Garin, a Democratic poll taker, argued, "Once there was this sense of inevitability associated with Clinton's election, voters could start to be for Perot without any sense of risk to it. You could be for Perot without having to worry about electing a President, or without having to worry about electing George Bush President."
Still, Mr. Perot has undergone a remarkable image-building since he re-entered the race. Twenty-nine percent now say they view Mr. Perot favorably, while 32 percent see him unfavorably. In early October, only 7 percent viewed him favorably, while 59 percent held unfavorable views. Debates Aid Perot
The debates were a clear lift to Mr. Perot, many analysts said, operating as a kind of mini-convention re-introducing him to the American electorate. Thirty-nine percent said Mr. Clinton won the three Presidential debates, but 31 percent said Mr. Perot did. Only 15 percent said Mr. Bush won.
Mr. Bush, for his part, continues to have many vulnerabilities. His job approval rating stands at 40 percent among all adults, and 77 percent continued to rate the economy as bad or very bad, findings that showed little change during the fall campaign. But his favorability ratings improved slightly among registered voters this month, now standing at 35 percent favorable, 45 percent unfavorable.
Mr. Clinton was acquiring a more negative image, reflecting Republican attempts to raise doubts about his character and suitability as a potential President: 33 percent now view him favorably, 39 percent unfavorably. And the proportion who say he is not telling the truth about the draft is rising.
Mr. Bush retains and has even enlarged his advantage in being seen as able to "handle all the problems a President has to deal with," a major theme of his campaign. But Mr. Clinton retains strong advantages in other areas, such as "caring about the needs and problems of people like you," which 65 percent said he did, while 48 percent said Mr. Bush did.
Still, the most intriguing variable in this race, nine days before the election, is Mr. Perot. Both campaigns are paying less attention to Mr. Perot's standing nationally than to his impact in specific states. He is considered a help to the Democrats in the South and a problem for them in the industrial Midwest.

The GravityLight Foundation is a UK Registered Charity working to alleviate poverty and protect the environment through innovative design.
Kerosene lamps are widely used for lighting in rural areas where electrical distribution is either not available, or too expensive for widespread use.
GravityLight is an innovative device that generates light from gravity.
In GravityLight, we are aiming to to deliver a product that will have a positive impact for people living without electricity.
We are conducting trials across both urban and rural households to observe and learn the differences in distribution models, adoption rates and use of GravityLight. We are using a mixture of semi-structured interviews with sales agents and families using GravityLight, in parallel with quantitative data collection through mobile surveys.
We have gained insights on how to tailor our packaging, communications and understanding of under electrified households in Kenya.
Power is typically generated and stored for later use. What if they removed the power storage - the battery? What if power could be generated as it was needed? They could reduce costs and might be able to gain in efficiency.
We initially developed GravityLight technology to provide a solution to people that currently depend on kerosene for home lighting. However, we quickly came to realise that GravityLight has many potential applications in other contexts.
Not only did the success of our crowdfunding campaign dramatically change the scale of our intended production run, it also gave us the opportunity to further refine the product before sending samples to off-grid households and crowdfunders to test around the world.

Chagaev: I'm ready for Kali Meehan
The upcoming fights cast their shadows: on April 17 in Magdeburg (Zbik vs. Spada) and April 24 Hamburg (Kentikian vs. Raoui) Universum Box-Promotion will present two "Universum Champions Nights". In order to be in perfect shape some Universum fighters have set up their training camp in the Austrian Alps to build up their fitness level. At the beginning of February trainer Magomed Schaburow took his team including Ruslan Chagaev, Susi Kentikian, Vitali Tajbert, Dimitri Sartison, Eduard Gutknecht and Alexander Alekseev to the skiing resort Soelden. Hansi Neuner and his team of Universum Partner of Boxing Austria have once again provided the best possible training opportunities.
Magomed Schaburow: "This training camp was chosen to set up the basis for the whole year. I am working with my athletes three times a day. This includes working in a team as well as lifting weights and climbing. We went up to 3.000 m with Ruslan Chagaev and Susi Kentikian."
The purse bid of the WBA for the heavyweight eliminator fight between Ruslan Chagaev and Kali Meehan had been cancelled on short notice. Universum Box- Promotion and Meehan Promoter Don King have reached an agreement that Universum will stage the fight. Universum vice Dietmar Poszwa: "In a short time the date and the venue will be confirmed. I'm very happy for Ruslan that he will get this chance to become world champion after the defeat against Wladimir Klitschko. After a victorious fight against Meehan he will be facing the reigning WBA champ David Haye."
Chagaev trainer Magomed Schaburow: "We are looking forward to the fight against Meehan. We could fight tomorrow if we need to. We have been in full training since September and it would be the first fight for Ruslan and me as a team. We have to see how it goes and on which level we are. There are boxers which are champions during their training and sparring sessions but it's more important what you can deliver in a real fight."
Since the summer of 2009 Schaburow is working with Ruslan Chagaev. Schaburow: "Ruslan is very fast and he is working very hard. His fitness level is good and he implements the given tasks. He is doing a lot of team work with Cruiserweight Alekseev. I'm very satisfied."
Ruslan Chagaev is very happy about the fight: "I want to become a world champion again and want to make changes in my style compared to my fight against Wladimir Klitschko in June 2009. I took my time to think and now I'm extremely motivated to implement and carry out the things I have learned. I'm feeling great and want to show that inside the ring. I will do everything that I will win this fight. Meehan is not as tall as Valuev but he is about 6′ 4. I like to fight against taller opponents." For his first fight after the defeat last year Chagaev has been working extremely hard: "It has been a very hard training for me here. Due to the high altitude the air is quite thin but that's a basis for building up my fitness and power. We have a great team spirit and a great mood. I'm ready. Watch out and be ready Kali!"
Also in Soelden are Cruiserweight hopeful Alexander Alekseev, who prepares for a fight in May as well as the world champions Vitali Tajbert (WBC Interim Super Feather) and Dimitri Sartison (WBA Super Middle). Sartison shares a room with Eduard Gutknecht. "Eddy" Gutknecht will have the chance of his lifetime on April 17 when he challenges WBO Super Middlweight world champion Robert Stieglitz in Magdeburg: "It was a good choice with my "roomie". We laugh a lot and have a good time. He adds: "We have here the perfect conditions, the fresh mountain air and an amazing view. We have to work extremely hard while others are here on their skiing holiday. Three times a day the alarm clock is set for 6:00 am. I'm so excited about the Stieglitz fight and I have been highly motivated from the first day in our training camp. We can work here very focussed and when we return to Hamburg on Sunday we will start concentrating on the boxing skills."
The "Queen of the team" Susi Kentikian stated that this has been the hardest training camp she has ever been in. The "Killer Queen" commented: "Never in my life before I have been running so many hills up and down. " After all the team also enjoyed a fun session when they had a photo shooting with the Felt Ötztal x-bionic World cup cycling team.

What can Paul Gauguin and Paul the Apostle teach us about our identity in Christ?Born in France and raised partially in Peru, Paul Gauguin's early years were marked by the death of his father, domestic upheaval, and sweeping cultural shifts. After returning to France to live with his grandfather, he joined the merchant marines, served a stint in the navy, took work as a stockbroker, married, and had several kids.

Wouldn't it be great if our increased age had no effect on the ease of living and performing simple tasks? In other words, coping with getting older is enough to handle without the added stresses of having to adapt to physical changes and limitations at the same time.
The truth is that although things become more difficult for us, there are ways to make them easier and ease the transition of aging. After all, the goal is to live life to the fullest, no matter how old you are or your physical condition, right?
Here are a few of the simple ways you can tailor your kitchen – or some things to look for when selecting an assisted living facility – that are not only senior-friendly, but that can also facilitate functioning at full capacity even if you have a physical disability or other limitations.
Handi-Capable Kitchen Cabinets
This wheelchair-accessible cooking station is just one of the ways you can tailor a kitchen to suit your needs when you or a loved one living in your home uses a wheelchair.
Other kitchen cabinet re-vamps include:
- Raising the toe kicks from the standard 4″ up to 6″-8″ to allow better wheelchair accessibility; and
- Installing pull-out drawers in the cabinets and slide-out inserts behind the doors give easier access to items located in the back without having to reach in or empty the entire cabinet each time you need something.
In fact, cabinets that consist of open shelving can eliminate the need for doors entirely. This is an especially handy feature if there are issues with pulling doors open (due to muscular difficulties or issues like arthritis) or maneuvering a wheelchair around a space that accommodates the wheels but not the wheels plus space for swinging open kitchen cabinet doors.
Do-able Doors and Drawers
And speaking of pulling open doors (and drawers), there are styles of handles that are easier than others, and a single type can address all sorts of issues.
- For cabinets in the kitchen and bathroom: "pulls" that are long and slender or even door-knocker-style rings are a better option than tiny (albeit attractive) little knobs that are difficult to grasp.
*A trick with either type of these cabinet pulls is to attach a length of rope or thick cording and tie knots on both ends – now there is more surface area to grab as well as additional leverage provided by pulling on a rope.
- For interior and exterior doors: handle-style doorknobs or lever-shaped dummy pulls (that you need not manipulate up or down) are preferable to round knobs that must be twisted or latches that require little bits and pieces fitting together in order to lock/unlock the door.
Other Kitchen Guidelines and Good Ideas
In terms of ADA-compliance and otherwise overall good ideas to make living easier, consider the following:
- Dishwashers: The maximum high forward reach is 48″ and maximum low forward reach is 15″ for controls and operating mechanisms.
- Top-Freezer Refrigerators: Controls must be below 54″ and be operable with one hand without requiring twisting, pinching or grasping. 100% of the fresh food space, as well as 50% of the freezer space must be below 54″.
- Side-by-Side Refrigerators: These must be fully-operable with one hand and allow parallel approach by a person in a wheelchair with maximum high side reach of 54″.
- Range: Same reach requirements as the dishwashers for controls but they may not be located in a place that requires reaching across burners to access them.
- Cooktops: If they have spaces underneath to allow for wheelchairs, they must be insulated or otherwise covered to prevent burns, abrasions or electrical shock on the exposed surfaces.
- Make sure blankets and other comforts and necessities (toilet paper, paper towels, soap, toiletries, etc.) are placed on sturdy shelves that do not require a person to extend their reach all the way to the back or lift their arms over their heads.
- Soft-close and self-closing doors and drawers on kitchen cabinets and in bathrooms are a nice touch that will prevent injured fingers and will minimize the startling effect that slamming doors can have.
What other areas in the kitchen can you think of that could be more geared toward the sensational senior-plus crowd?

I have been asked how I made my pressure pot and how I made my nice clear RF parts. Well, it's a trade.... here goes... :p Also, you are dealing with air pressure, be careful. It can kill you! So, if you are not sure what you are doing, DO NOT MAKE ONE!!!!
Parts used:
- Smooth Cast 325 resin from http://www.smooth-on.com
- 3 gallon, 100 PSI compressor http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=95275
- 2-1/2 gallon pressure paint tank http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=93119
- Hose to go from take to compressor
- Pluming tape.
When I got the paint tank, the bottom is not flat. So, I took and leveled it, then some Smooth Cast 325 and filled the bottom to make it level. The Smooth Cast 325 will set in about 10 minutes. You are going to want about 30 PSI in the tank. The tank will only go up to 80 PSI so, we should be safe with 30 PSI. You will lose some air after you pressurize the tank. There might be leaks and that is okay. What I do is mix the resin and pressurize the tank to 30 PSI. Then leave it for the next 30 minutes.
Got questions, please ask.

Three Burial Chambers Discovered in Cyprus
Monday, May 19, 2014
LIMASSOL, CYPRUS—Three burial chambers were discovered when the roof of a cave collapsed during landscaping work in southern Cyprus. The tomb, which dates to the second or first centuries B.C., contained seven sets of skeletal remains, amphorae, and small artifacts. "Archaeologically, it is a very interesting area," archaeologist Yiannis Violaris of the Antiquities Department told the Cyprus Mail.

James "Jim" Jinkins (born 1953 in Richmond, Virginia, United States) is an American animator and creator of the animated Doug television series which was later the basis for a feature film. Jinkins also created PB&J Otter, as well as several other shows produced by his two companies, Jumbo Pictures and Cartoon Pizza.
Background and career[edit]
Jinkins was born in Richmond, Virginia,[3] and lived there during his childhood. His experiences growing up in Richmond would serve as an inspiration for the fictional town of Bluffington, Virginia, in the series Doug.[4]
Later, Jinkins worked in advertising, creating television commercials and promotions featuring a young boy and a dog, who would become the main characters of his major creation, Doug. Jim had developed Doug Funnie through doodles during the early days of his career. Doug and his dog Porkchop first appeared in Jinkins' book Doug Got a New Pair of Shoes, which led to his creating an animated pilot titled Doug Can't Dance. He sold the Doug pilot to Nickelodeon. The pilot tested higher than any other pilot for the network at the time. Jinkins established Jumbo Pictures in 1990 to produce Doug for Nickelodeon. Doug went on to become one of Nickelodeon's most popular and successful series. Jinkins has also served as executive producer and voice director for Doug as well as writing only two episodes. Jinkins also created a TV show for Nick Jr., Allegra's Window.
Doug's success caught the eyes of Disney executives. In 1996, Jim sold Jumbo Pictures to Disney. Disney then developed Disney's Doug (originally Brand Spanking New! Doug) as part of their "One Saturday Morning" lineup.
Jinkins and his team at Jumbo Pictures have produced the PB&J Otter and 101 Dalmatians animated series and feature film Doug's 1st Movie for Disney. Jinkins has also founded an independent company, Cartoon Pizza, which produced shows such as JoJo's Circus, Stanley, HoopDogz, and Pinky Dinky Doo.
Jinkins on Doug[edit]
|Doug is not a powerful character. He is more where I feel that kids are today. They are softspoken and bewildered. But they often make the right decisions. What we tried to get across was that you should feel good about yourself and not give in to peer pressure. The underlying foundation was that doing the right thing will pay off.[5]

Practice vs. Warm Up
One thing I enjoy (most of the time) about writing this column is that you readers are so darned candid. I dropped the ball on the free set of SCOR4161 clubs, and you busted my chops. Deservedly so. The winner has been drawn and it is "Shallowface." The guys who do this didn't realize that I had promised a second set, so they will draw that winner today and post it at the end of this column later on.
What I heard loud and clear is that you want me to get off my
'soapbox' about SCOR clubs, the PGA Tour, and a few other topics that don't affect the way you play the game. And you want me to get back on topic about what I can share that could help you play the game better, have more fun. I promise to do that, starting right now.
But I do also promise you the occasional editorializing about what I find troubling or puzzling about the game. A few years ago, I created the fictional "Texas WedgeHog — Rootin' out the truth" to be my alter-ego who could throw political correctness to the wind and just opine about various subjects. I promise to put the old WedgeHog front and center occasionally.
But let's get on with addressing some of your questions. Today I've selected one from Mr_X, who asked about "practice" time vs. pre-round warm-up time. Here are my thoughts...
To me, a pre-round session is to get loose and find what's working today, to get the feel of the club in my hands so that I am prepared for the round. I begin by stretching some, and then loosening up the muscles before my first swing. I like to swing two clubs, but one in each hand, with my hands together. That gives me the resistance in my shoulders and back of the two clubs, but when I go to just one for my first swing, the club doesn't feel heavy.
I begin my pre-round session with some short chips, then longer pitches, then move into half and full shots with the high-loft clubs. I think progress through the set to a short iron, middle iron, and hybrid, hitting shots until I get two or three really nice ones in a row, then move on to the next club. I then hit a few 4-woods and drivers, until I feel good about going to the first tee. I finish that session with a half-dozen short chip shots to re-install that feel and comfort. Then it is off to the putting green for 5-10 minutes of getting the feel of the greens and my stroke for the day.
In contrast, when I go for a practice session, I typically limit that to one thing I'm working on at the time. It might be tempo, take-away, weight shift, working a draw... whatever. I limit myself to one or maybe two things, depending on my progress. I begin that session by hitting some shots without trying to "do" anything, but rather feeling for what I am doing. Then I analyze and begin to instill changes.
I know my swing very well, so this approach works for me. If you don't know it that well, I am a big fan of engaging an instructor to help you.
Once I find what I'm seeking that day, I keep hitting balls until I feel like it is ingrained a bit. But in doing this, I always keep in mind something I learned while watching Harvey Penick give Tom Kite a session. He wouldn't let Tom hit more than a half dozen shots with one club, then he would have him change to something else. He didn't let Tom just rip 5-irons endlessly, for example. He would watch a few 5s, then have Tom go to an 8. Then back to a 4, then to a 9, etc. I thought that made sense, so I have adopted that to my practice sessions.
Okay guys, there's today's insight. I'll dive into another one of these topics next week. I would also like to ask you to use the link below for your ideas, as that way I can keep a file of them for reference. It works much better for me than trying to remember under which post a question was posted.
Thanks again for your candor and honesty to help keep me on track.

Terry - thanks for announcing the 1st winner & for adding a 2nd.
Mr_X says:
Nice post Terry. I am looking forward to warmer weather so I can hit the range again.
jasonfish11 says:
I'm sure I'm not your favorite poster by far. But I must commend you on your ability to take criticism/critique and roll with it.
That isn't easy (I know I can't do it all that well).
slimpks1850 says:
For what it's worth - I'm bummed out your saying you'll be getting away from your recent article writing method or whatever. I just refused to contribute (if my posts can be considered contributions) until you did what you said you would.
I for one love the more wedges, smaller gaps in the lower range club selection thing. If I could afford your clubs I'd already have 'em.
birdieXris says:
I have a question on timing and order -- I've heard it said that you should warm up putting first, then go to the range so as not to stiffen up and it's also easier to bring your range game to the first tee. Thoughts on that?
DougE says:
I agree 100% with your warm up and practice processes. That is my exact process as well. I like to go to practice sessions with a specific focus in mind. I usually make a plan and stick to it for my practice days. On play days, I will warm up on the range after putting and chipping a bit to find my touch. Then I'll hit no more than a small bucket, starting with partial wedges, then 3 or 4 9 irons and 7 irons, a few hybrids off turf and tee, same with a 4W and then make sure I have my driver swing working. Finally I'll finish up with a few full wedges to a target and I'm ready to go. This sounds very similar to your pre-round warm up.
How about that. We agree on something. There is hope for us after all.
GolfSmith7 says:
Lately before the round all I've been doing is putting and chipping and spend plenty of time loosening up before the first tee box. Hit even a small bucket at my muni is horrible because the balls are so bad.
aaronm04 says:
I always warm up with the putter first. I would find myself spending too long on the full swing and neglecting the most important part of the game. Aside from that, my warmup is the same as Terry's. However, if there is a shotgun start, I will get there early and start with the full swing since the range spots are at a premium the closer it is to tee time.
slimpks1850 says:
You could figure out what you're hitting off the 1st tee & get comfortable with that shot/club somewhere in your warm-up.
jrbizzle says:
Terry - if you have a chance to reply, or anyone else. A few years ago I saw a method of warming like mentioned here, but then at the end of your warm up, simulate the first few holes of said course. As in, if the first hole is a par 4, hit driver, and estimate your approach and use that club and maybe a chip. If second hole is par 3, use the club you would use for that, 3rd hole par 5, maybe a driver, hyrbid than short iron, etc. Kind of how some basketball or football teams have the first few plays arranged ahead of time, and adapt as necessary.
I've only done this a few times, but curious if anyone else has tried it. I figure you would only do the first 3 or so holes, eventually you just get into your rhythm.
jrbizzle says:
Slimpks, looks like I have your idea, but just stretched out. I wrote half of this then walked away on a phone call and finished it later so didn't see your post.
DougE says:
@jrbizzle, Yes this is a great drill that I also do quite often. really helps you visualize and think about what to expect. Highly recommend.
jasonfish11 says:
Jrbizzle I do that every time before I play. If I know the course I play the first 3 holes in my mind then I'm done with full range shots
jasonfish11 says:
I hit balls before that too
GBogey says:
My muni don't have ranges to warm up on, but I've heard multiple pros recommend that you end your warm up using the club you will hit on your first tee. Also, I find practice sessions much more useful if I alternate clubs every 5 shots or so.
jrbizzle says:
DougE and jasonfish11 - thanks. It's something new for me (just started last season) but I think it has helped calm the nerves on those first few shots.
Gromit5 says:
if problems creep in during a warm-up session before you tee off, don't panic. Gear down to a slower, shorter swing. This will allow you to feel what's out of sync. Then, gradually return to full swings. Simplify, and always swing within yourself. I like to warm up with my driver--very, very gentle, slow "practice swing" mode, not caring where the ball goes, just warming up the big muscles. Then I hit some easy 3/4 punch shots with my 7-iron, letting my hands make friends with the turf. Only then do I zero in on an assortment of target-oriented
full shots, letting feel take over rather than mental keys or commands involving words. "Thinking" raises one's center of gravity and leads to loss of balance. Keep your head in your stomach.
onedollarwed says:
A friend of mine kept an elaborate database of our golf scores and other factors for a few years - yes he really geeked out. We found a pretty clear pattern regarding practice and warm ups: Warming up before a round had no effect on our rounds, but having practiced the short game within a few days of the round did. One one particular place we played was a very narrow and fun pitch-and putt in Oakland CA called Montclair Golf course. It was tucked into a small "canyon" in the Oakland hills, was cheap, and featured small green, trees overhead in places, and tons of blackberries along side the course for a snack. Playing there just about always led to a good round in ensuing days!
Matt F says:
So, who's the second winner?
jasonfish11 says:
Matt its dottomm. Last post of prior article
DaRupp13 says:
onedollarwed, that is really interesting. I've noticed something similar to that. If I know I have a golf weekend coming up, I'll chip a few extra plastic golf balls in my house that week to get the feel of it to stick. Same thing with putting. Seems to make a difference, good to know someone else has the same idea.
As for warmup before a round, I'll typically putt for a while. If there's a chipping green, that's next. Then I'll loosen up by stretching and some practice swings. If there's a range, I get a small bucket and hit 2-3 balls per club to see what's working that day. A little more chipping then tee off!
onedollarwed says:
It's funny, perhaps it has more to do with how much one plays? I rarely play more than bi-weekly; very rarely more thank once per week. This way it helps not to play too much and give purchase to bad habits and gremlins. Ever had a course you play fine develop problem holes/shots over time?
Sometimes "playing it stupid" is term we used to say to get back to basics, or Mongo golf. Mongo see ball, hit ball. Meaning... just play it straight down Broadway, nothing fancy, no need to shave corners.
In my 20's a friend in his 40's used to always kvetch about needing long warm-up time before a round if it was "cool." He said I would know when I'm 40. Well I'm into my 40's and know he was full of crap. It was just another lousy excuse he'd use for playing like carp. (yeah, like carp).
Other friends still tell me they played their best golf when I had built a 10+ hole course for plastic balls and we'd play a few times a week. Silly!
Shallowface says:
Terry, thanks for drawing my name!
Fortunately I already have the SCOR wedges I need, so I'd appreciate it if you would draw another name and send them to someone who can benefit from them.
Thanks again!
