Five Super Simple Photo Fixes with the GIMP
Oct 09, 2009 GMTWhile the GIMP offers a plethora of advanced and powerful photo editing tools, it also sports a few easy-to-use features that can help you to instantly improve your photos with a minimum of effort.Most digital cameras do a good job of figuring out the correct white balance. But tricky lighting conditions or wrong white balance settings can result in a less than perfect photo. The GIMP provides an easy fix for that: choose Colors -> Auto -> White Balance, and the application does the rest.The red eyes problem is the bane of many point-and-shoot cameras. If your camera doesn't have an automatic red eye removal feature, you can use the Filters -> Enhance -> Red Eye Removal...

OpenOffice.org Basic HTML Macro Redux

So here is an updated version of the macro that formats the currently opened Writer document and saves it as a plain text file in the same directory.

Extension Watch: Improve Your Flickr Experience with Better Flickr
Sep 28, 2009 GMTAlthough Flickr sports a functional, lightweight interface, it still has some room for improvement. And if you are using Firefox as your primary browser, you can turbocharge the photo sharing service by installing the Better Flickr and Greased Lightbox extensions. Greased Lightbox is a one-trick pony, but the trick it does is a pretty clever one. Normally, clicking on a thumbnail in a Flickr gallery or your photostream opens the related photo page. The Greased Lightbox extension changes the default behavior, so when you click on a thumbnail, the related photo appears as a slide on top of the main window. You can then use the Left and Right...

After just being named the Western Conference Player of the Week, I think it's time we strongly consider Russell Westbrook as a contender, if not the front-runner, for the Most Valuable Player Award in the NBA this season.
I want to start off by saying this is not an easy article for me to write. Yes, Westbrook is on my second-place Fantasy Basketball team, but I went to USC and grew up a huge Gary Payton & Seattle Supersonics fan so writing positively about a UCLA Bruin on the Oklahoma City Zombies (errr…Thunder) is not the easiest task.
Anyways, every time I watch this guy, I am in awe over what he does on the basketball court. I believe his biggest strength might be his naïveté because he doesn't realize that he shouldn't be able to physically do what he does. This guy shuffles full-speed backwards, jumps four-feet diagonally for a steal, runs full-speed the opposite direction dribbling the ball, then explodes to the rim to dunk on some six-foot-eight athletic specimen with a seven-foot wingspan and four-foot vertical. How is that possible?
Westbrook has lead the Oklahoma City Thunder to a 14-7 record even though Kevin Durant has missed four games and been hampered by injury most of the season. I love numbers so let's jump into that world. Westbrook is currently 7th in the NBA in scoring (24.1/game), 6th in assists (8.7), 6th in steals (2.2), and 6th in double-doubles with 12. To top everything off, he is leading the NBA in combined Points + Rebounds + Assists at 38.4/game.
Pretty impressive if you ask me.
Who are your nominations for MVP so far this year?

View Additional Section Content
Published on June 07, 2013
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Patients with the BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene mutations associated with the hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome often face tough decisions: should they take aggressive steps, such as radical mastectomies, to prevent cancer?
At Ellis Fischel Cancer Center, those patients can consult with mid-Missouri's only certified genetic counselor specializing in cancer to help with these tough decisions. Stacey Miller helps patients and their families understand their risks of developing certain types of cancer and how to take steps toward early detection and prevention.
At least 5 to 10 percent of cancers are the result of inherited cancer syndromes. This translates to approximately 76,500 to 153,000 new hereditary cancer cases each year. Through a hereditary risk assessment and genetic testing, men and women can understand their likelihood of developing certain types of cancer. Hereditary syndromes are associated with almost all forms of cancer including, but not limited to, breast, colon, ovarian, endometrial, thyroid, kidney, stomach, skin, pancreatic and brain cancer.
By looking at a combination of personal history and at least three generations of family history, Miller can determine if patients are at risk of having genetic mutations that could put them at a higher risk for developing cancer. "If you have concerns about your personal risk and your family risk of cancer, a cancer risk assessment will look at family history and personal risk factors to determine if you are at a higher risk for cancer," Miller said. "Even if you are not a candidate for genetic testing, if you are at a higher risk for developing cancer based on your personal and family history, we can adjust your cancer screening and prevention plan accordingly."
A cancer risk assessment involves six steps:
If the cancer risk assessment determines a patient is a candidate for genetic testing, Miller works with the patient to understand the genetic testing process. Using either a blood sample or a cheek swab, DNA is collected and is tested for specific mutations.
Many genetic mutations associated with cancer risk are dominant, meaning that if a patient carries a mutation, there is a strong possibility that his or her immediate or extended family members are at risk for having the mutation as well. By helping patients understand why cancer is prevalent in their family, Miller can help patients understand and evaluate their screening, treatment and prevention options.

After starting a record 297 consecutive regular-season games, Brett Favre is about to miss his second contest in three weeks.
The NFL Network first reported that Favre's concussion won't allow him to play in Tuesday night's game at Philadelphia, and rookie Joe Webb will take his place under center for the Vikings.
After initially being ruled as out, Favre surprisingly shook off the shoulder injury that snapped his streak to start a week ago in Minnesota's final home game but was rewarded with the head injury when Bears rookie DL Corey Wootton slammed him to the turf in the second quarter.
Favre, known for waffling when it comes to his career choices, has said this season (his 20th) will be his last.
Webb will become the 60th quarterback to start a game this season. Recently signed veteran journeyman Patrick Ramsey will back him up.

Nate Davis is a reporter, blogger and editor who's been at USA TODAY since 2000. He has covered the NFL since 2005. No, he did not play quarterback for Ball State.

Play therapy is an effective way to work with children when they don't want to talk much in counseling. Play is the natural language of a young child. Children can often express their feelings and work out their problems through the play therapy process. I also incorporate parents into therapy with their child. Parents will learn how to better respond to the feelings and behaviors that are troubling the child.

A new contender on the U.S. water-filter pitcher market is from Mavea, which, interestingly, is made by Europe's original Brita (in the U.S., the Brita name was purchased by Clorox).
It boasts a sleek, modern style. The Elemaris model is $30, comes in black or white and holds five cups. It touts a "pour-through lid" and a meter that measures water hardness, volume and the length of time the filter has been in use. The filters can be recycled, the company says.
The Elemaris XL, $32, holds nine cups, and the Marella XL holds eight cups and costs $25. The Maxtra filter uses both carbon and "ion exchange resin beads" to remove the common unwanted elements, the company says.
In addition, Mavea claims its filter will remove the herbicides atrazine and simazune, and toxic chemicals benzene and tetrachloroethylene, which have been linked to blood and nervous system diseases and cancer.
The Mavea filter also leaves fluoride in the water.
One replacement filter is $7.75; a three-pack is about $18 and the company says the filters can be recycled.

Loons Win Half Finale 6-2
By Lake County Captains | June 16, 2013 12:09 PM ET
(Eastlake, OH) - The Great Lakes Loons scored four runs in the top of the seventh inning and took command of the game by a score of 6-2. That turned out to be the final. The Loons hit for the cycle in the seventh. Joe Winker hit the homerun, Kevin Taylor hit a single, Jose Cappellan doubled and James Baldwin hit the triple. When it was all said and done, four runs scored and the Loons split the series and won the last game of the half.
Lake County took the early lead. Eric Haase smacked his seventh homerun of the season and the two run shot put Lake County up after one inning 2-0. Great Lakes responded with a run in the top of the second. Aaron Miller doubled and later scored on a ground out by Kevin Taylor. In the fourth, Tyler Ogle hit a solo homerun and the score was even at 2-2. That was all the scoring, until the seventh.
RHP Chris Perez started the game for the Captains. The rehab outing lasted one inning. Perez allowed two hits and had one strikeout. LHP Ryan Merritt (3-7) took the loss. Merritt pitched six innings, with nine hits, six earned runs, no walks and four strikeouts. Merritt allowed two homeruns. Jack Wagoner pitched two innings and allowed just two hits.
The Loons sent 16 year old Julio Urias (1-0) to the mound to start. Urias, pitched three innings, and allowed two runs on the Eric Haase homer. The youngster allowed four hits, three walks and four strikeouts. Urias did not get a decision. The Loons used three relief pitchers and kept the Captains scoreless. The win went to Scott Griggs (1-4) for the Loons.
The Lake County Captains will not be in action again until they open up a six game road trip starting June 20th in Dayton, OH. First pitch on the 20th will be at 7:00 PM.
The Captains will return home on Wednesday night June 26th. The Great Lakes Loons will head back to Classic Park to open the 8 game home stand will kick off with at 7:00 PM.

I have the pan off at the moment as I am trying to figure out the sleeve and have to get 12 new bolts (which I am going to do a washer + M6 high tensile bolt combination).
Would appreciate if anyone can share there thoughts on the sleeve and pan.
The sealing sleeve is just above the filler hole on the end of the transmission body. You do not need to remove the mechatronic unit. If the pan was done 12K ago I would put it back on and save the new pan for 60-70K from now.
Don't worry about high-tensile bolts as the bolt is only torqued to 8nM (about 6ft-lbs). Make sure you have the right thread length and exact thread size (including pitch).
Symptoms of leaking sleeve are leaking transmission fluid from the sleeve. You may not be experiencing this now, but if it has never been changed the rubber gaskets will give out and it will leak eventually.
Sealing sleeve is shown in drawing on pg 51 of pdf (along with other good info).

After months of great expectations and hype from both excited fans and media, Salman Khan's Jai Ho surfaced. Jai Ho, a remake of AR Murugaddos's Telugu flick Stalin that featured Mega Star Chiranjeevi, is a highly thrilling action film, targeted mainly at Salman Khan fans. In a Salman Khan movie that is created just to become Rs 200 crore earning Blockbuster, you can see a lot of mega plot holes which you should ignore if you want to enjoy it. When you are going to watch Jai Ho, you are not going with a mindset of watching a Fellini or Bergman film. This is a superstar commercial film, catered for a particular set of audience and when taken in that context, the movie is good in its own way.
Story revolves around an idea Jai Agnihotri (Salman Khan) who is an ex-army Major creates to help people. The idea is that when somebody helps you, you don't tell him/her 'Thank You', but instead help three other people in return and tell them to help three others too. Jai, thanks to his never ending fight for justice, is framed by the home minister for the crimes he never committed. Whether he comes out clean or not forms the crust of the story. The story has a progression of sorts and could be digestible even by a non-salman fan, even though it is not at all new.
Jai Ho is, without any doubt, is Salman Khan show, but the director cleverly cast good actors for key roles so that the emotional conflict in the film will work fine. Irrespective of the nature of the film, Tabu delivers a mature and natural performance as Salman's sister. Daisy Shah plays the essential love interest of the hero. Salman and Daisy has a good chemistry which is very visible on screen.
Jai Ho is a treat for action movie fans as it has a lot of innovative and powerful stunt scenes in it. Even though film begins with cliche scenes and songs, somewhere in the middle, it starts catching the threshold it desperately needed. If you have anything to look for in Jai Ho, it is the scenes that lead Salman to punch the villains. Sohail Khan, surprisingly, has managed to get all the actors to present their best for all emotional scenes.
Santhosh Shukla, an former Big Boss contestant, has done a small villain role, but has delivered a unique performance. All the actors have done their part well, except Ashmit Patel who fortunately don't have a meaty role in this film. The climax fight scene is quite realistic and has a lot of blood in it. It just reminds you of the climax action scene in John Abraham's Force. Bangalore based stunt choreographer Ravi Verma has done a great job and his thrills are the USP of this Salman Khan film.
The technical department of this film has done a commendable job. National Award winner Sabu Cyril served as the art director for this movie, while highly acclaimed cinematographer Santhosh Thundiyil handled the camera. Even though the songs are not that impressive, movie has all the potential to become a Blockbuster.
PS: In a scene, Sunil Shetty saves Salman Khan by smashing the villain's car with his army tanker, that too in public road. Nobody knows from where he appeared and how he appeared and how an Army tanker is permitted in the public road to smash cars and kill people! As nobody in this planet knows the answers for these questions, metaphysics researcher and Indian astrology aficionado Dr Sankata Naashak Thrilochana Bhoumik Shukla used his new found ESP for the purpose. The answer he got was - 'It can happen in a Sohail Khan film'. He also got an extra answer from 'Kudrat' for a question he never asked - It was the unconfirmed news of Oscar Award Authorities considering Ashmit Patel for a special jury award (pun intended).

Extending Alexander's ecological dominance-social competition model : information behavior adaptation
Spink, Amanda H. & Narayan, Bhuva (2006) Extending Alexander's ecological dominance-social competition model : information behavior adaptation. In Society of Australasian Social Psychologists Annual Conference (SASP 2006), 20-23 April 2006, Canberra, ACT. (Unpublished)
Alexander's Ecological Dominance and Social Competition (EDSC) model currently provides the most comprehensive overview of human traits in the development of a theory of human evolution and sociality (Alexander, 1990; Finn, Geary & Ward, 2005; Irons, 2005). His model provides a basis for explaining the evolution of human socio-cognitive abilities. Our paper examines the extension of Alexander's model to incorporate the human trait of information behavior in synergy with ecological dominance and social competition as a human socio-cognitive competence. This paper discusses the various interdisciplinary perspectives exploring how evolution has shaped information behavior and why information behavior is emerging as an important human socio-cognitive competence. This paper outlines these issues, including the extension of Spink and Currier's (2006a,b) evolution of information behavior model towards a more integrated understanding of how information behaviors have evolved (Spink & Cole, 2006).

Eugene OR (SPX) Mar 18, 2008
Clovis-age natives, often noted for overhunting during their brief dominance in a primitive North America, deserve clemency in the case of California's flightless sea duck. New evidence says it took thousands of years for the duck to die out.
A team of six scientists, including Jon M. Erlandson of the University of Oregon, pronounced their verdict in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (online, March 13) after holding court on thousands of years of archaeological testimony taken from bones of the extinct sea duck uncovered from 14 sites on islands off the California Coast and 12 mainland sites from southern California northward.
Erlandson and his co-authors from California Polytechnic State University, the University of California, Los Angeles, the California Department of Parks and Recreation (CDPR) and the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) demonstrated that humans first hunted the flightless sea duck (Chendytes lawi) more than 10,000 years ago, but the bird persisted until about 2,400 years ago.
Their findings that Chendytes survived more than 7,500 years of human predation are based on the first radiocarbon dating of Chendytes bones from six coastal archaeological sites.
Erlandson and colleagues, along with UO alum Don Grayson, now a University of Washington archaeologist, suggest that the drawn-out road to the ducks' extinction raises serious questions about the "Pleistocene over-kill theory" that the Paleoindian Clovis culture rapidly hunted numerous large mammals and other animals to extinction on their arrival in the Americas in the late Pleistocene.
The ducks' lifestyle served them well for millennia, the researchers noted. Many of the birds nested on the Channel Islands off the California Coast, where few predators existed before humans arrived. After seafaring Paleoindians colonized the islands about 13,000 years ago, however, Chendytes may have been driven to smaller and more remote islands. Human population growth, the development of increasingly sophisticated watercraft, and the introduction of dogs and foxes to the islands probably put greater pressure on the birds. Eventually, the flightless duck, like great auk in the North Atlantic, had no place to run.

Willow dazzles US with bodice and soul
The Sun-Herald
Page Tools
Sleep, what's that? Kit Willow, centre, speaks to models before her
New York debut yesterday.
Photo: Lisa Carpenter
It is famously the city that never sleeps, but for New York Fashion Week debutante Kit Willow, the lack of shut-eye has proved the ride of her life.
The Australian designer celebrated her runway success on the official New York schedule with a well-earned massage - but even then couldn't rest with the excitement of it all.
"It was meant to be a relaxing treat, but I couldn't sit still," the excited designer said yesterday. "I was high on all the adrenaline."
It's been adrenaline and sheer talent that have carried Australia's latest fashion sensation to her Big Apple moment - just two years after her acclaimed debut at Australian Fashion Week and only months after cracking the catwalks of London Fashion Week.
Her opportunity to show in New York came as part of a sponsorship deal by the organisers to foster emerging talent.
The show opened with a dazzling corsetted dress, highlighting Willow's early design start making luxe lingerie. "It was a very elegant, simple collection. The detail was all in the small things," Willow said.
A spot of shopping, research is next on the agenda.
"We will deliver to Barneys [New York store] for the first time next month and have just started selling to Fred Segal in Los Angeles and Neiman Marcus [department store chain]. I haven't even been to Neiman Marcus, so it's funny that my clothes are going to get there before I do."
Meanwhile, model Naomi Campbell yesterday rallied her fashion friends to raise money for the victims of Hurricane Katrina. Cindy Crawford and Linda Evangelista joined Campbell for the show which charged $US1000 ($1300) for a front-row seat.
Brit "it" girl Kate Moss was expected also to lend her support but has gone to ground in the wake of scandalous photos of her in Britain's Daily Mirror, which apparently show her cutting lines of cocaine while sitting in the gutter of a New York street.

SPOKANE, Wash. - Nathan Wilson is an English teacher with no scientific training, but he thinks he knows how the piece of linen revered by many as Jesus' burial cloth was made. And he thinks it's not a physical sign of the Resurrection.

In other words, in Wilson's estimation, the Shroud of Turin is a fake - produced with some glass, paint and old cloth. And that theory, especially with Easter this weekend, has so-called "Shroudies" abuzz.
"A lot of religious people are upset," said Wilson, 26, who teaches at New Saint Andrews College in Moscow, Idaho.
Wilson is himself an evangelical Christian but said his views on the shroud don't change his faith.
"I'm a Bible-believing Christian who believes in the Resurrection completely without a doubt," he said.
The Shroud of Turin is a linen cloth, about 14 feet long and 3 feet wide, that has been kept in the city of Turin, Italy, since 1578. It bears the image of a man with wounds similar to those suffered by Jesus. Believers say it was used to wrap Christ after he was taken off the cross.
The English instructor thinks a medieval forger could have painted the image of a crucified man on a pane of glass, laid it on the linen, then left it outside in the sun for several days to bleach the cloth. As the linen lightened, the painted image of the man remained dark on the cloth, creating the equivalent of a photo negative.
Wilson wrote his theory in Books and Culture, a magazine for Christian intellectuals. It was picked up by several Web sites and is being debated in shroud circles. Wilson's Web site received more than 100,000 hits from 45 countries in the first week of his article's publication.
Shroud expert Dan Porter said that while Wilson's theory is ingenious, it does not produce images identical to those on the shroud.
"It is not adequate to produce something that looks like the shroud in two or three ways," said Porter, who lives in Bronxville, N.Y. "One must produce an image that meets all of the criteria."
Porter contends sun bleaching cannot have produced the image, which he and many others say is the result of chemical reactions on the cloth.
"A problem with Wilson's hypothesis is that sun bleaching merely accelerates bleaching that will occur naturally as the material is exposed to light," Porter said. "Eventually, Wilson's sun bleach shroud image will fade into the background as exposure equalizes the bleaching."
Porter and others also question whether panes of glass at least 6 feet long were produced in medieval times, as Wilson's theory would require.
Radiocarbon tests of the Shroud of Turin were done in 1988, and dated the cloth at A.D. 1260 to 1390 - seeming ruling it out as Jesus' burial cloth. But Raymond Rogers of Los Alamos National Laboratory recently argued that the tested threads came from later patches and might have been contaminated. Rogers calculated that the shroud is 1,300 to 3,000 years old and could easily date from Jesus' era.
Wilson said he wants to write a novel about his theory. The forger or perhaps forgers, Wilson theorizes, probably robbed a grave and pulled the aged shroud off a body, then crucified someone to obtain the blood and study the wounds of Jesus.

The news came days after the Robins lost in the Division Two play-offs for the second season running, being beaten 1-0 by Brighton in this year's final.
The former Northern Ireland international won 107 of his 226 games as City boss.
In his four seasons in charge, they finished ninth, seventh, third and third in Division Two.
Bristol City chairman Steve Lansdown confirmed that the play-off final defeat effectively cost Wilson his job.
In a statement, Lansdown said: "Our unfortunate defeat has unquestionably caused the momentum of the club to falter and after careful consideration the board believes it is time for a change."
Lansdown also paid tribute to Wilson, telling the Robins' official website: "Danny has made a significant contribution to the development of the club.
"We are extremely grateful to him for that.
"Danny's period of stability has produced a firm footing for the club to go forward.
"His successor will inherit a strong squad and sound infrastructure.
"Danny Wilson has been a good manager for Bristol City and I have enjoyed working with him," added Lansdown.

DC Shoes (US) Coupon Code: Extra 30% Off Sale Gear
DC Shoes has released a 30% off coupon code to use on their sale items. Combine this coupon with their up to 50% off sale for incredible savings on DC brand gear.
Click here to shop @ DC Shoes (US) now
- Coupon Code: SALE30
- Discount: extra 30% off sale
- Expiry: 3rd July 2014
There are so many products in the sale that are at 50% off and a few that are just above 50% off already. All prices are in USD.
The Women's Villain Shoes are on sale in select colours. The white plaid and black/turk blue are both discounted from $44.99 down to $22.50. After coupon code they come down to just $15.75. The villain shoe is a moccasin-toe slip-on that features whip stitching with a contrast upper-foot. There have been 90 reviews of this shoe and they currently average a 4.3/5 star rating. Most people found them super comfortable, though there are many comments saying they run a bit big, so size down.
If you are a size large and need a new winter jacket then you really should consider this deal (and ignore the fact that it is summer outside right now). The DC women's Fuse Snowboard Jacket was $149.99 and is discounted to $73.99. That isn't bad for a brand name snowboard jacket, but after coupon code the jacket comes down to just $51.79. This is why it is such a good idea to buy gear off-season.
The men's Studio Le Shoes are one of my favourite deals. These have a sleek black upper with a pristine white sole. They could be great for casual wear, and you could always dress them up for occasions that are more formal. I could see these doing very nicely at summer weddings because of the black/white colour combination. They are also super affordable. Originally $80, they are now on sale for $35.99. After coupon code they come down to just $25.19. Almost all sizes are still available for purchase.
The men's Unilite Flex Trainer is on sale for $39.99 from $80 in both bright blue and black/battleship/white. It is a nice basic trainer, and you cannot beat the price after coupon: only $27.99 a pair.
DC Shoes ships from the USA so you may incur duty/customs charges. However, this deal was just so good I thought it was worth blogging about. The other awesome part of this deal is the free shipping on any order you will receive. I think free shipping really offsets the potential for duty and makes this truly an offer worthy of attention.

Body cast - Low budget (Self) - Original
|Since my low budget head cast worked out quite well I am now going to try at making a body cast. Again reasons are to help me make certain costume prosthetics to custom fit. eg Mystique. But first use will be to help me make a decent boobage prosthetic for Katy Perry cosplay. So must be finished for Feb 2011.
Complete progress walkthrough will be recorded in the journal and latest stage pics will be updated on the main page.
The plan - is to use the same technique as the head cast to make my body mould, and then I will experiment with different things to see if I can find a lightweight strong material to make the body cast out of. So to make the body mould it will be plaster bandages..
ooh, so excited for this! ^^ I will do lots of research in the holidays and update Keri's journal with whatever method/materials I'm gonna try to use for mine, it will be interesting to see how they turn out! :D
ooooo, nice one. looking forward to seeing how you get on with this. I may make one some time next summer
Yep it will be very interesting. :) First thing I realise is that I will need help to do most of the back mould. I have asked - conscripted - my wife ^^ So its game on!
That should be good, I have done head casts before, but never a body cast. I look forward to seeing this
Steph, its all experimental! :P But in principle Im hoping it will go very similar to the head cast. Seperation point and flange will run along the same side seam positions as a cloth garment ie under arm down sides, neck to shoulder, and across crotch seam. So, The plan is to make a start on the front mould first and see how much I can get done on my own. Im imagining something like a huge breastplate which I can just slip into and out of so the back can be worked on at a completely different time.
cant wait to see this either after admiring the awesome headcast! :D
Wow! I want one O_O it's a very clever idea! Me and my friends had an idea of using paper mache since we're poor XD and then wrapping it around us but then we'd have to wait til it was dry O_o yuck. Can't wait to see how this turns out ^^
FairyPorchQueen - I think a head cast and a body cast will be a Huge help for certain costumes..esp if like me you like to be independant of other peoples help when you are making your costumes. BabemRoze - Yes as you say the problem with paper mache is the long drying time. So for that reason I would recommend the plaster bandages because they set in like 5 mins after you wet them. And although it will still feel wet it will be solid and wet, so you can take it off after only say 10 mins and then leave it for a day to dry out. Plaster bandages are not really expensive to buy. There are cheap non branded packs you can buy. I will put the costs up during the process so you can see exactly what I spend to make this happen. But the paper mache idea might still have a place! When I made my breastplate for Toyah cos I used newspaper and PVA white glue - thinned with just a bit of water, instead of wallpaper paste. Wow the stuff really set fast! And quite strong too. So this could form part of the finished casting make up..stay tuned. ;)
Ohoho! Looking foward to this! :D
Progress Journal
after first application (Posted 5th May 2013)
Working from feet first I managed to cover most of my body. The seperation join lines between front and back were achieved by first taping a thin cardboard flange around my legs and body. This made seperation easy between front and back halfs when it had set. Whilst the mould was on my body it looked all one piece. But when I started getting out of the mould it started to break apart at weak spots. I guess the plaster bandage layers needed to be thicker - I had only used like two layers of bandage.
plaster bandage method (Posted 5th May 2013)
My first attempt to produce a body double involved the Duct Tape Dummy method. Results were very poor, so I abandoned this direction.
Instead I am going to try making a Plaster Bandage Body Mould. And then if this succeds I will make my body cast using the plaster bandage mould. First step buy loads of plaster bandage...

A woman from Harpenden is gearing up to complete a bumpathon, which will see her paint the bumps of mums-to-be to raise money for charity.
Glyn Goodwin is encouraging pregnant women to come forward so she can paint their stomachs to raise money for Comic Relief.
The professional face painter has been painting for 28 years, after she began practising on her two children Sarah and James.
The 58-year-old admits the stomach painting is like "marmite" and people "either love it or hate it."
What started as a fun idea of painting baby bumps by Mrs Goodwin and her colleagues, it has now turned into a nationwide event and face and body painters all over the country have joined together to paint as many bumps as they can before Red Nose Day.
Since 2009 the team has raised over £9,000 through sponsorship money and this year will be no different.
Mrs Goodwin of Coleswood Road, said: "Painting pregnant tummies is very much like a massage and can be a therapeutic experience for many women. Many say it is relaxing and soothing away from the stress of having other children or being pregnant."
She will now face the challenge of painting as many bumps between March 8 and March 22.
Her designs range from nativity scenes, nursery rhyme characters, under the sea, in the jungle and a jigsaw.
Mrs Goodwin said one of her proudest designs is a tiger, which was recognised in an art competition organised by Snazaroo face painting.
She has painted around 25 baby bumps and recalled the times her clients have used it as their Christmas card image, or displayed them as a photo in a baby memento book or in their child's nursery.
Mrs Goodwin said: "While painting I sometimes feel the baby move, which can sometimes change the shape of the design. However as long as the woman is relaxed, the baby doesn't move all that much."
She added painting pregnant stomachs was very much like painting a face but without having to negotiate around face features and it being a larger space to work with.
Mrs Goodwin said: "It is quite an intimate thing to do and it is a very humbling and privileged experience for the women to let me do, which I completely respect."
She reassured the paints used are safe on skin and water based and the design can take up to two and a half hours, depending on the design the mother wishes to have.
Mothers who are willing to have their stomach painted are asked to pay £5 and then encouraged to raise sponsorship, with all proceeds going to Comic Relief.

John Patrick Grabowski (January 7, 1900 in Ware, Massachusetts – May 23, 1946 in Albany, New York), nicknamed "Nig", was a Major League Baseball catcher who played 7 seasons for the Chicago White Sox (1924–26), New York Yankees (1927–29) and Detroit Tigers(1931).
Born in Ware, Massachusetts to a family of Polish descent, Grabowski played 296 major league games—282 of them as a catcher. He broke into organized baseball in 1920 with the Minneapolis Millers of the American Association and joined the Chicago White Sox in 1923. He had his best season for the 1927 "Murderer's Row" New York Yankees, considered by many to be the best baseball team in history. Grabowski shared the catching duty with Pat Collins and Benny Bengough in 1927. Grabowski played in 70 games for the 1927 Yankees, scoring 28 runs and 25 RBIs. Grabowski had a .350 on base percentage for the 1927 Yankees. Grabowski won two World Series rings with the Yankees in 1927 and 1928. In 1930, Grabowski was released by the Yankees and played briefly for the Detroit Tigers in 1931.
He also played with the Montreal Royals of the International League from 1932 to 1934 and later became an umpire in the Canadian-American League (1937), Eastern League (1938–39), and International League (1940–41). Grabowski died in Albany, New York at age 46 from burns suffered when fire destroyed his home in the nearby town of Guilderland, New York.
In the first half of the 20th Century, before the game was integrated, ball players with a dark complexion were sometimes nicknamed "Nig."[1] [2] [3] In addition to Johnny Grabowski, the following other major league players bore the nickname: Johnny Beazley (1941–49),Joe Berry (1921–22), Bobby Bragan (1940–48), Nig Clarke (1905–20), Nig Cuppy (1892–1901), Nig Fuller (1902), Nig Lipscomb (1937),Charlie Niebergall (1921–24), Nig Perrine (1907), and Frank Smith (1904–15)

Rebuilt Title Cars for Sale
Regardless of generally sour associations with the salvage history (not always justified), rebuilt title cars for sale can be a great deal. Below are a few tips that hopefully will help you catch a great deal on rebuilt title vehicles for sale.
Find out what caused salvaging
Firstly, not all rebuilt cars were actually damaged. Find out what exactly caused the car to get salvaged. For example, many salvage cars had sun-screens and audio-systems or wheels stolen, without any constructive or safety impairment. Such cars can be a great choice.
Which rebuilt salvage title cars for sale are the best?
The most simple answer is those that were salvaged due to anything but substantial damage (including accident, water, fire, etc). I owned 2 rebuilt cars, my current one is about 7 years old and I'm happy with it. When buying it, I had a similar option but 4 years younger at insignificantly higher price (a 1.5 year old car at that time). However, my choice was the older one. WHY? Because if you are buying a newer rebuilt title car, there is a big change that the damage was severe and affected functional parts and safety, as compared with the same rebuilt title car but a few years older. The insurance company passes "totaling sentence" upon the car based on estimated repair costs to its actual value ratio (typically, when the ratio exceeds 75%, depends on the state). For the insurer, the value of the car depends on the age (ACV or actual cash value), and the cost of repair works is approximately the same all the time because it comprises labor (which is really costly and always costs about the same) and parts. The older the damaged car, the smaller estimated repair costs should to be for to get a salvage title.
Learn to read, understand and analyze car history reports.
Sometimes, they may do you a great service and not just once. For example, a car with a clean title may show up a salvage title in its history, which magically disappeared when the car changed state. That's not normal. The normal and legal thing is getting a rebuilt title after being reconstructed. However, the brand should remain forever (ideally). Also, note that vehicle history reports show up not just critical problems, like salvage title, odometer scam, etc, but just the facts that in the opinion of the provider need your attention, such as registration on storm area or fleet use. Carfax, in particular, will position such data as a warning. For example, if the vehicle has been registered in New Orleans, the report will through up a warning flag about storm area registration and flood damage hazard. This, however, doesn't mean that the car was water damaged, it just was registered there. But the warning may actually scare potential buyers away and the vehicle may sit at the dealership for months waiting for the new owner. A vehicle with such "warnings" in the history can be a great deal. Just think a little, analyze and negotiate. However, a vehicle that changed a "storm area" state immediately after a natural disaster is also a warning sign. It could be uninsured and the owner is trying to get rid of "sunk junk".
Inspection Is the Last Vote
Needless to say, rebuilt title cars for sale be inspected by a trusted mechanic. Hire one if none of your friends are mechanics. Even if the mechanic is your friend or good acquaintance, don't grudge and reward him with $100 for this efforts. Maybe he could have spent that time with his family and is really doing you a big favor (then he may need the money to buy an apologize gift for this wife). Don't let him think about getting done with inspection as soon as possible. You want the inspection to be done as thoroughly as possible.
Shop around for insurance BEFORE you buy of even have that rebuilt car inspected.
I wrote it on other pages, but, again - shop around for insurance in advance - this is FREE and takes just a few minutes of your time to make a call or submit an online request. People buy rebuilt title cars because of the low price, but insurance may devour all your gained from buying the car really cheap. Make a list of a few rebuilt title cars for sale and get insurance quotes for all of them, and then compare which one is really the most advantageous. Only after that you hire the mechanic to inspect the rebuilt title vehicles for sale you like (financially as well).
Don't run risks!
Run VIN check - discover what you weren't told about that rebuilt vehicle!

''''Tom Hatch draws on his vast knowledge gleaned from decades of involvement in school improvement efforts and his perceptive ethnography of six carefully selected schools. The result--which encompasses the essential big picture as well as the devilish details--is a wise synthesis of how to effect meaningful, lasting, positive changes in schools.''''-- Howard Gardner, Harvard Graduate School of Education''''Tom Hatch paints a concise but complete picture. Context, common purpose, hiring, productive work environments, building capacity, working on national purpose--it''s all here. This is a must have for those ready to tackle large scale reform in order to get new results.''''-- Michael Fullan, Professor Emeritus at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of TorontoThis book shows how school improvement efforts are often undermined by the changing conditions around schools, as well as by some of the very policies and programs designed to help them make improvements. Hatch argues that schools cannot wait around for conditions to improve or for policymakers to figure out how to provide the ''''right'''' support. Schools need to create the conditions for their own success. To help them accomplish that, the author describes a small set of key practices that schools can use to get resources, manage external demands, and build their capacity to make and sustain improvements over time.Drawing on the stories of real schools, this important book:* Explains why even schools that have strong principals, committed teachers, and involved parents continue to struggle while other schools can get by even without displaying the usual features of effectiveness.* Provides practical strategies to help schools take advantage of opportunities and respond to pressures in the external environment.* Explains why some of the usual solutions to improving schools--like increasing pressure on low-performing schools, scaling-up programs, and school choice--don''t seem to be working the way they are supposed to.* Offers a vision of the work that needs to be done at both the local and national level to support school improvement on a wider scale.

Chickpea CurryFebruary 16, 2012 | By | COMMENTS
One of my favorite things to make on a weeknight, these days, is a kitchen cupboard chickpea curry. It goes like this: I open my kitchen cupboard, pull out a can of chickpeas, a bag of rice, a tube of tomato paste, a can of coconut milk, and as many spices as I feel like using. It also helps to have an onion, garlic, ginger, lemons (or limes) and cilantro, but only the onion is essential there–the other stuff just makes it that much better.
Cook the rice any way you like–I use a rice cooker–and then, to get the curry going, chop your onion and add it to a pan coated with a tablespoon or two of vegetable oil. Crank up the heat, sprinkle with salt and get those onions brown. You can lower the heat when the browning starts, to coax a deeper, more nuanced color out of them (French onion soup style) but that's not necessary. What is necessary is that you take them right to the edge because that's where the flavor begins. So get them golden brown.
Meanwhile, in a small skillet, toast some spices. For this particular curry I toasted coriander seeds, fennel seeds and cumin seeds:
When they're nice and fragrant and just starting to color, tip them into a spice grinder, allow them to cool for a minute or two and then grind them into a powder. Set that aside.
Chop up a few cloves of garlic and, if you have it, some fresh ginger (peeled). Add that to the pan with the browned onions along with the spices and a squeeze of tomato paste (you could also add cayenne pepper here if you like your curry spicy):
Let that toast for a little bit–just until the garlic gives off its aroma–and then add a can of drained chickpeas:
Stir around to coat in the aromatics and season with salt. Cook for 30 seconds or so and then add a can of well-stirred coconut milk and, if you want, some slivered almonds because…why not?
Sprinkle in a little more salt, bring to a gentle simmer, and cook for 20 to 30 minutes until the curry thickens and the flavors meld. Taste to adjust and, towards the end, add a few squeezes of lemon juice or lime juice to perk up the flavor:
Spoon the cooked rice into bowls and top with the chickpea curry (and lots of the tasty liquid). Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and serve with lemon or lime wedges:
And there you are—a cheap, healthy dinner perfect for a weeknight. And, if your kitchen cupboard is well stocked, you don't even have to shop for it. Not bad, eh?

Gluten Free Buckwheat Bread (Machine)
Recipe by jackandfiona
I went looking for a buckwheat bread recipe on Zaar but they all had wheat flour in them as well. After hunting on the net for a while came across this one on Bob's Red Mill (bobsredmill.com). I haven't tried it yet, but apparently it comes out soft and doesn't crumble.
Top Review by Elena H.
This came out moist, tender, nutty, chewy, and made great sandwich bread. I used almond milk instead of dairy, and melted coconut oil instead of butter to make this dairy free. I used the BASIC 1 1/2 lb setting with dark crust setting on my Hamilton Beach Bread Machine. I added 1 tsp Vitamin C crystals to the lecithin for extra dough enhancer. I will definitely make this again. TASTEY!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 3 eggs
- 3 tablespoons softened butter
- 1 1⁄2 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon soy lecithin (GF Dough Enhancer)
- 1⁄2 cup buckwheat flour
- 1⁄2 cup tapioca flour
- 1 1⁄2 cups brown rice flour
- 1⁄2 cup potato starch
- 1 tablespoon xanthan gum
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
Directions See How It's Made
- Place ingredients in bread machine in order, depending on manufacturer's recommendation. Choose basic cycle.
- Scrape down sides of bread bowl after kneading begins if the flour is sticking to the sides to incorporate all ingredients.
- Makes one large loaf.

Sant'Eustachio Coffee by Caffe Sant'Eustachio in Rome
1 Recommendation
josieinthecity's recommendation
Transport that coffee lover from her robe to Rome. After 70 long years, this legendary Italian brew is finally making its debut stateside. Caffe' Sant'Eustachio is a Roman legend. This is the coffee bar where Romans in the know stop for their liquid fuel----daily doses of espresso and cappuccino. Located in the heart of Rome between Piazza Navona and the Pantheon, Sant'Eustachio has been producing its signature coffee since 1938. Sant'Eustachio coffee is slow roasted over wood on the premises without chemical processing. The beans, selected by the owner Roberto Ricci, are a blend of 100% Arabica. The taste is smooth and sweet and the acidity low.

I love slippers! I wear them everywhere! But sometimes I run out of different designs or patterns to wear! These Embroidered Gun Slippers are awesome!
JillTyrell's recommendation
I'm not sure I could pull off a pair of slippers with guns on them, but it's probably perfect for the right paramilitary rogue. How funny this is. Can you imagine wearing these out in the morning to pick up the paper and saying hello to your frightened neighbors?

Mark Wahlberg: 'Sorry, Pussies'
In case you blacked yourself out of the Internet yesterday like a goddamn Commie – I kid. BLACK POWER. – Mark Wahlberg stepped in online shit when excerpts from his interview with Men's Journal were revealed in which he basically says he would've stopped 9/11 right in front of his children's eyes had they boarded their original flight. Naturally this implied that everyone on board were shitty parents and way less badass than him. "Pussies," I believe was the implied term, so he's since issued an apology after 99% of America went, "Wait, Donny's little brudda said that?" Via TMZ:
"To suggest I would have done anything differently than the passengers on that plane was irresponsible. … To speculate about such a situation is ridiculous to begin with."
Mark adds, "I deeply apologize to the families of the victims that my answer came off as insensitive, it was certainly not my intention."
Probably most insulting is that Marky Mark's publicist obviously wrote that, but fortunately The Superficial has obtained Mark's own written apology in its entirety and his words cut right to the heart:
Dear Pussies,
Yesterday, it may have appeared that I called you all a bunch of pussies for dying in 9/11 and not stopping those terrorists with your bare fists in the first class lounge where I always sit because I'm a movie star. In retrospective vision, I realize that I too probably would've died like a pussy just like you pussies because terrorism is a serious thing that sometimes make people into pussies. Who's to say? Irregardless, please accept these coupons good for one free Wahlberger with purchase of another Wahlberger of equal or lesser value. I know that seems cheap, but I'm not running a goddamn charity for pussies who can't look in their children's eyes and say, "Don't worry, honey, daddy's gonna land this plane because he only jerks off with mommy's pussy."
Respectfully yours,
Mark Wahlberg
P.S. I just now realized you're all dead, so can ghosts read? Knock over a plate in my mother's house if yes.

UCCX Screen Pop doesnt close when call is finished
- Blue, 1500 points or more
UCCX Agents using CAD for a Bank.
Callers enter their account number and check their balances and other automated things.
They decide to speak to an agent and press the appropriate digit.
The call comes to CAD with name, account number, balance, and contact info.
When the call ends, and even if the agent disables, that screen pop info is still displayed. Why don't the previous caller 'call variables' disappear when the agent disconnects the call and even goes into a not ready state?
I am tol this is the Way CAD has always oprated. You always see the details from the last call you were on, until a new call is answered.
Is this normal beghavior and really nothing we can do to have it close upon call disconnect?

Madrid, Spain – The phrase "King leaves hospital" might hearken memories of another king leaving the building. While not a rock star, Spain's monarch King Juan Carlos is a celebrity in his own right. The King was given a clean bill of health, leaving the Madrid hospital after undergoing reconstructive surgery on his left hip joint.
Recent polls show that King Juan Carlos has favorable approval ratings throughout Spain. In 2008, the King was considered the most popular leader in all Ibero-America, which explains why the public is so concerned that the King leaves the hospital in good health.
According to International Science Times, King Juan Carlos had previously fractured his hip joint during a controversial elephant hunting safari in Botswana. He was flown back to Spain for the surgery.
Unfortunately, the King might not be leaving the hospital for long. He has suffered from a variety of health issues in the past two years, including knee surgery and the removal of a benign lung tumor.
The King was discharged from the hospital after a nine-day stay. Speaking of his recuperation, the 74-year-old monarch promised to "take things very easy" while joking with reporters on his way out.
Orthopedist Angel Villamor, who supervised the 90-minute surgery, said he convinced King Juan Carlos to remain in the hospital for a few more days so he could do additional physical therapy exercises.
As the King leaves the hospital, an official statement said the King had "very satisfactorily completed the first phase of his rehabilitation". Madrid hospital officials believed that adding more therapy sessions would "more efficiently and more rapidly" help the King heal.

By Sgt. Julieanne Morse, 129th Mobile Public Affairs DetachmentApril 19, 2013
BAGRAM AIR FIELD, Afghanistan - When some hear about a rodeo, they think of cowboys, horses and livestock.
The Emergency Medical Technicians Rodeo at the Craig Joint Theater Hospital, April 14, didn't include any of those.
"The EMT Rodeo is a fun way to sharpen combat medic skills in a joint training environment," said U.S. Air Force Master Sgt. Tammy Robinson, pharmacy technician, 455th Expeditionary Medical Support Squadron, 455th Air Expeditionary Wing.
Service members in the U.S. Army, Navy and Air Force gathered to race against the clock to treat simulated traumatic injuries.
Thirteen teams of four were timed as they carried a mannequin on a litter to six different trauma stations around the outside of the hospital. Teams could not be all male or all female and one of the team members had to be a non-medical person.
"I incorporated having one non-medical person on each team so that they can see the trauma stations and to give them exposure to this," said U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Manuel Molina, a coordinator of the event and a medic in the 455th Expeditionary Medical Operations Squadron, 455th Air Expeditionary Wing.
While giving non-medical service members exposure, the rodeo also helped the medics maintain their skills.
"We haven't been working much with the emergency aspect, we do more sick call, so this is a refresher for us," said Spc. Elvira Hernandez, a medic in Detachment 3, 345th Combat Support Hospital, who works at the Afghan National Detention Facility at Parwan.
Service members treated simulated wounds such as a broken leg, an abdominal wound, labored breathing and shock.
Through competition, the rodeo encourages teamwork.
"This helps build camaraderie among first responders within the Army, Navy and Air Force medics," said Robinson.
"I looked forward to the teamwork," said Spc. Jamie Krauss, a medic, 756th Area Support Medical Company.
The Army and Air Force Exchange Service provided prizes for the first, second and third place teams.
A team from the 27th Brigade Support Battalion, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division rode away with first place. Each member of the team received a $20 AAFES gift certificate.

There was a time when the Sony Tablet S1 and Sony Tablet S2 were anything but shy to pose for the camera.
