sandpaperandglue.com says
Love it! I think there's something in the bloggy water… I just changed my design as well, and so did a bunch of others I follow. New year- new look!
MindySchaper says
Looks more modern,and also is stencil-reminiscent.
Jen Wilson says
I like it! I'm in the process of designing my new header and blog button (with absolutely no experience, so I'm not sure how it will turn out…)and it is so hard to decide on what will look good. I love how you use two different patterns!
April Nielsen says
First thing I noticed last week is that you Photoshopped your jacket navy in your pic on the side so it matched. I love it! How many people have told you that picture is flippin adorable? Millions?…okay I'll go ahead and tell you again. That picture of you is flippin adorable!
Sarah McGuire says
I like it too! I like the graphic design, and the navy blue, but I'm torn with the red. Have you thought about switching out the red for emerald green? (I hear that's the hot new color for 2013!)
Becca Forrest says
New year, new look. keeping thinks fresh and lovely!
The important thing is that you love it, because you will look at it the most! 🙂 I crave change on a regular basis myself. I have a thing for high contrast, so that's what I like about it.
Love the Greek Key pattern! And i TOO just changed up my border… 🙂 I get bored really fast. HEHE!
Jenny says
Love the navy blue graphic design! So pretty! I just revamped mine too – I think I was just ready to change things up a bit – both in the blog design and in my current reorganization obsession. 😉
Ellen says
Love it! Very bold and simple!
Haylie says
Luv it! I personally like bold colors:) How do you make a blog header?? and blog button…:/

Super cute new heading. The navy geometric thing is FABULOUS!!
thebestsexiquette says
I like both! The original one is probably more my style and is very whimsical but I like the new one too, it looks like some cool stencil project you would do haha. I'm glad you kept the font the same to maintain some consistency, that is like your logo (plus the font is great!) I like that the font is bigger too and it really pops out at you. This one is a little less busy and more clean, which is great for a website. I look forward to reading your next post and seeing what amazing work you do next! You are my hero/inspiration!!
Amanda says
I LOVE the new look!

I just finished writing a simple program with multiple top level windows, using Qt. In my script, windows open other windows by calling functions stored in the other windows file. For example, if I were on Window 1 and I clicked on a menu item that was supposed to bring up Window 2, my click would signal a slot that calls the run() function from Window 2, and Window 2 would run, and the two windows would live happily ever after.
There's no way that's best practice. I feel like I should have one 'driver' script, which would have specific functions that could be called every time a new window needs opened. Is that feasible? Is that a better idea? What's best practice in this case?

I approach history from a more wholistic perspective, trying to understand the way the various "themes/fields" interact and interconnect.
In the classroom, I employ extensive role-playing and creation of historical families to help the students see the history they are studying from different perspectives and see that history more in relation to their own lives (why they choose to focus on some portions of that history and not others: what that says about them, living in the history of their own present).

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 28/2/2013 (1636 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
TORONTO -- The inaugural Canadian Screen Awards combine the previous Gemini and Genie Awards into one joint TV and film celebration, but that's not enough for comic Naomi Snieckus.
In the name of efficiency, she suggests throwing in the theatre world's Dora Awards -- as well as a miming competition for good measure -- to create an all-encompassing prize.
"It's going to be called the Mime-sies. Or the Dora-ginies," says Snieckus, best known as smart-aleck gym teacher Bobbi on CBC-TV's Mr. D.
For those still wrapping their heads around Canada's newest entertainment prize, the Canadian Screen Awards honour the best in homegrown film, television and digital projects.
It replaces the previous Gemini Awards, which saluted Canuck-made TV, and the Genie Awards, which celebrated Canuck-made movies.
"We are in a time when no one has time for two awards nights. We have to put them together -- we get it down, we party hard for one night. Compact," explains Snieckus, who will co-host CBC's online live stream from the red carpet.
"You know, I think it could be done in 10 minutes," adds fellow comic Matt Baram, from the City sitcom Seed.
"We don't need a long awards show just because we've combined all the awards. In fact, why don't they just make one award and give it to the best Canadian?"
Flashpoint star Enrico Colantoni suggests we're already inching down that road, lamenting that past bashes haven't been loose enough, fun enough or offered enough of a spotlight on homegrown talent.
"As long as CBC doesn't do it in a half-hour special, because there are a lot of categories to cover in a half hour. Maybe the winners could just walk by the stage and wave as opposed to actually taking 20 seconds to say thank you," says Colantoni, a best actor contender in the TV drama race.
"It's incredibly uncomfortable when you've won something and aren't allowed to thank anybody in your own way. To be rushed like that and make it all about, 'OK, this is a show.' I think the Golden Globes do it the best."
The revamped bash is part of sweeping changes the Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television brought in to draw bigger audiences to "a bigger show with bigger impact."
When the merged bash was announced last year, Academy chair Martin Katz pointed to the Golden Globes and British Academy of Film and Television Arts Awards as worthy role models. He suggested that combining the power of Canadian A-listers for one big event would elevate the industry as a whole.
It's no surprise then that homegrown star power is a key part of this weekend's broadcast.
Martin Short adds Hollywood heft as show host and a slew of cross-border stars have been recruited to present trophies: Sandra Oh, Genevieve Bujold, Jay Baruchel, Adam Beach, James Cromwell and Catherine O'Hara among them.
Short, who hosted the Geminis in 1989, says he's intent on making the inaugural gala entertaining, noting that he might unleash "a song or two."
And he approves of the combined format, admitting that he's fed up with the seemingly endless parade of award shows in the United States.
"Why not put it under one umbrella," Short says in a recent phone interview from Los Angeles, where he is based.
"Down here there are too many award shows. I mean, when I was a kid there were the Oscars and the Emmys. And now there are five examples of the Oscars before the Oscars. So it does kind of upstage a little bit and make it a little less special than it used to be."
Colantoni's recently ended CTV cop series is a leading nominee in the TV categories, while the Oscar-nominated child soldier drama Rebelle (War Witch) heads up the film contenders.
Shaw Media's content boss Barbara Williams says melding the best in film and TV strengthens both fields.
"I think our combined screen industry could really use the power and the weight of doing it all together at once," says Williams, whose company oversees Global and 18 specialty networks including Showcase, HGTV and History.
"Building a week of events and industry pieces around it was just a smart way to capitalize on everyone coming together for one night anyway so let's extend the experience a bit."
Still, there are plenty of people who say more could be done. Reality show guru John Brunton says "they've taken half-measures."
"If it was me, I'd go full-on Golden Globes," says Brunton, whose productions include TV reality series Big Brother Canada, Top Chef Canada and Intervention Canada.
"The Golden Globes is a great model. And it doesn't have comedy sketches and it doesn't have some disconnected rock band that comes out and plays a song for some reason."
He called for a free-wheeling dinner gala where guests could drink and watch a streamlined ceremony that only featured the top celeb-studded categories.
Others pressed for a more populist approach in the nominees list, where ratings and mainstream appeal held a bit more sway.
The Geminis were notably slammed for shutting out CTV's comedy smash Corner Gas in its final season while the Genies earned derision for largely ignoring Xavier Dolan's Cannes sensation, I Killed My Mother.
This year's film contenders include the rude and crude hockey comedy Goon, which producer Don Carmody suggests never would have made the cut under the old guard and signalled a move towards broader tastes.
Goon co-star and screenwriter Baruchel agreed.
"Had this movie come out even five years ago, it would have gotten love and respect from the places where it matters -- which is the Canadian ticket buyer, the average Canadian hockey fans who we made the flick for," says Baruchel, who is up for best supporting actor and best adapted screenplay prizes. "But the sort of intelligentsia, this minority of people that determined for a long time in large part what NFB movies were made, what was on the CBC and what movies came out and then what movies got attention, I still don't think they take ownership of us."
Baruchel slammed the old Genies for being out of touch with the average movie-goer.
"It's just been the most Canadian in every respect, you know -- self-defeating, humble to a fault, but also degrees of sycophancy throughout. It's been the way that it has because, of course, how could it be our awards show and be anything else? That being said, if we pull it off this year and this is one that kids (care) about that's awesome," he says.
The bulk of the TV trophies were to be handed out in two non-televised industry bashes Wednesday and Thursday nights. More will be handed out in a pre-telecast ceremony immediately before Sunday's broadcast.
Baruchel says anything that boosts attention for Canuck film and TV gets his support, noting that he treasures recognition from his homeland.
"It means infinitely more than any award in any other country would because this is ours," he says.
The Canadian Screen Awards will be broadcast Sunday from Toronto on CBC-TV at 8 p.m.
-- The Canadian Press
CBC, Kim Cattrall among honorees
TORONTO -- The CBC landed several major news honours at the Canadian Screen Awards.
The first of two industry galas crowned The National best national newscast, The Fifth Estate best news information series and The Nature of Things with David Suzuki best documentary program or series.
Suzuki himself won best host or interviewer in a news information program or series.
TSN collected multiple wins for its coverage of the London 2012 Olympic Games, including best live sporting event, best sports analysis or commentary and best sports play-by-play announcer for Rod Smith.
Winners in the categories of drama, children's or youth, comedy and variety were to be presented Thursday.
-- -- --
Sex and the City star Kim Cattrall is being recognized for her body of work.
The actress will receive a special prize for "outstanding artistic contribution to film and television" at the inaugural Canadian Screen Awards.
The award recognizes "a remarkable person who has made their mark on the film and television industry."
Academy head Helga Stephenson says Cattrall "is a fabulously successful Canadian performer who proudly embraces both sides of the border."
The Canadian-raised actress is best known for starring as lusty singleton Samantha in the HBO series Sex and the City and its spinoff movies. She also appeared in the PBS miniseries Any Human Heart, Roman Polanski's The Ghost Writer and the 1987 comedy Mannequin.
Cattrall was to receive the prize at an industry gala tonight honouring select categories in TV drama, comedy, variety and children's programming.
The top prizes at the Canadian Screen Awards will be broadcast Sunday on CBC-TV. The bash replaces the previous Genie and Gemini awards, which separately honoured the best in homegrown film and television.
This fall, Cattrall will star with Don McKellar and Bob Martin in an adaptation of the BBC2 series Sensitive Skin. Shooting is expected to take place in Toronto in September.

February 15, 1915 — Reichenbach im Odenwald, Germany
Max was one of three children born to a Jewish family living in a small town in the Hessian part of Germany. His father was originally from Poland. After eight years of public education, Max completed three years of business school and learned to become a window decorator. In 1929 he found work in Viernheim, a village near Mannheim.
1933-39: I worked for a clothing store where I was in charge of window dressing. Except for the weekends when there were Nazi marches, life was quiet in Viernheim. Right after Germanyattacked Poland in September 1939, some friends picked me up for an outing in Pforzheim-Baden. The next thing I knew, a Gestapo agent arrested me because I was Jewish. I was placed in the local prison and my property was confiscated.
1940-44: After four months I was released from prison and sent to the Sachsenhausen concentration camp. There, by chance, I was reunited with my ailing father. When he died in April 1940, the Nazis let me take his body to the crematorium. Between 1941 and 1943 I was interned in the Neuengammeconcentration camp. Then I was deported to Auschwitz, where I helped build the Buna synthetic rubber factory operated by I.G. Farben. In January 1945 I was force-marched to Gleiwitz and then transported to Buchenwald.
During the war Max became a Jehovah's Witness. Liberated by the U.S. Army in 1945, he settled in Aix-les-Bains, France, where he founded a Jehovah's Witness congregation.
I have read "The Crucible of Terror" and Facing the Lion". It is quite inspirational to find that people can not only survive that kind of evil and still see the bigger picture of God and Faith. We all look forward to a world, promised by God, where only good will exist.

COMSOL Introduces the
Microfluidics Module
The new Microfluidics Module from COMSOL provides an integrated environment for modeling microfluidic and rarefied flows.
Burlington (May 26, 2011) -- COMSOL, Inc., the makers of the award winning COMSOL Multiphysics simulation software, today announced the release of the Microfluidics Module. Based on COMSOL Multiphysics, the Microfluidics Module brings easy-to-use tools for the study of microfluidic devices and rarefied gas flows. The module is designed for researchers, engineers, and experimentalists in the fields of microfluidics and vacuum science. Target application areas include lab-on-chip devices, digital microfluidics, biosensors, electrokinetic and magnetokinetic devices, inkjet technology, and vacuum system design. The module is accompanied by a suite of tutorial and industrially relevant models that serve as both instructional examples and as a foundation for future work.
"The simulation of microfluidic devices frequently requires multiple physical effects to be incorporated," comments Dr. James Ransley, developer of the Microfluidics Module with COMSOL, Inc. "The Microfluidics Module offers a range of tools to deal with single- and multi-phase flows, transport and chemical reactions, flow in porous media, and rarefied flows. Thanks to the single user-interface in COMSOL for modeling all physics, these phenomena can be seamlessly coupled with thermal and electromagnetic effects."
Specialized Microfluidics Interfaces
The Microfluidics Module includes interfaces for single-phase flow. With these interfaces users can simulate such applications as compressible gas flows at low pressures, non-Newtonian flows (for example blood flow), and laminar and creeping flows that typically occur in lab-on–a-chip systems.
A particular strength in this module is its modeling interfaces for executing two-phase flow simulations using the level set, phase field, and moving mesh methods. A variety of important fluid-interface effects are included such as surface tension forces, capillary forces, and Marangoni effects.
These flow simulation tools and the multiphysics capabilities of COMSOL make it easy to set up coupled electrokinetic and magnetohydrodynamic models for the simulation of electrophoresis, magnetophoresis, dielectrophoresis, electroosmosis, and electrowetting effects that are used alone or in combinations in both existing and emerging passive electronic display technologies for their basic function.
The COMSOL Model Wizard lets Microfluidics Module users choose from a wide range of functionalities to address fluid flow and other coupled phenomena.
"We strongly believe that the Microfluidics Module will offer a very attractive set of tools for our electronic display customers," comments Dr. Ransley. Chemical diffusion for multiple dilute species is also included in the module, enabling the simulation of processes occurring in lab-on-chip devices and biosensors.

Molecular Flow
The Microfluidics Module comes with a new free molecular flow interface that uses the fast angular coefficient method and allows for simulations where the molecular mean free path is much longer than the geometric dimensions. Combined with COMSOL's LiveLink interfaces for industry-standard CAD packages, this tool is invaluable for vacuum system design because it enables users to run quick parametric studies of chamber geometries and pump configurations.

The Microfluidics Module is supplied with a set of fully documented industrially relevant and tutorial models:
"The Microfludics Module combines proven and robust multiphysics solvers with the easy-to-use user interface of COMSOL together with a range of solutions targeted at microfluidics applications," concludes Dr. Ransley. "The net result is a product with unprecedented ease of use which can handle arbitrarily complicated industrial and academic problems."
Microfluidics Module Highlights
- Model single-phase, multiphase, and porous media flows with dedicated physics interfaces.
- Multiphase flows can be simulated with Level Set, Phase field, and Moving Mesh physics interfaces.
- Incorporation of essential microfluidic effects such as electrophoresis, magnetophoresis, dielectrophoresis, electroosmosis, and electrowetting.
- Model chemical diffusion with multiple dilute species. Diffusion and reactions in one phase of a two-phase flow with the two-phase flow moving mesh interface.
- Solve stationary, highly rarefied flows, such as flows in high vacuum systems, using the free molecular flow interface.

PIECES of furniture crafted by Burnley students have gone on display to the public.
The work, by students at Burnley College and UCLan Burnley School of Furniture, is being exhibited at Towneley Hall until July 2.
Today, students will attend a private preview event, with the exhibition opened by Master of the Worshipful Company of Furniture Makers, Paul von der Heyde, head of construction at the school.
Head of construction, John Shaw, explained why the show was so important to students and the college alike and said: "We're always very impressed with the level of effort and commitment each student puts in and this year has seen some very professional results in their finished pieces. We're extremely impressed and proud of them all."
The display will include pieces from Young Designer of the Year Construction Development Alliance Award winner Martin Clegg. There will also be stunning pieces designed and constructed by talented students.

READINGTON TOWNSHIP, N.J. - Eighth graders at Readington Middle School look forward to their annual eighth grade dinner dance all year. But this year, the focus on the event is a little bit different.
That is because Principal Sharon Moffat sent a letter home saying: "Young gentlemen are encouraged to wear collared shirts and trousers; many boys wear ties or jackets. Young ladies should wear a skirt, dress with straps, or dressy pants outfit. Jeans or sneakers are not appropriate for this event."
The letter, in effect, bans all strapless dresses. According to USA Today, when asked by a parent who wants to petition the school board, Moffat said any girl that shows up to the June 12 event in a strapless dress will be sent away.
Moffat said the reason for the ban is because she feels that without straps, the dresses are too distracting to boys.
However, parents are upset, because not only were strapless dresses allowed in previous years, parents are footing the bill for the off-campus event, and many have already purchased dresses for their daughters.

Hog wild krewe
One of the more colorful krewes in the Spanish Town Mardi Gras Parade is the Krewe of Roadkill, which operates from a "stationary float" that doesn't roll in the parade.
Instead, the participants do some serious tailgating from a downtown site and view the parade from that vantage point.
They don't actually cook roadkill (they claim), but have prepared meats from all over the animal kingdom.
This year they're cooking an 85-pound pig, which means they will be pulling an all-nighter before Saturday's parade.
Their site should be easy to find — head toward the aroma of pork roast and cracklings.
Master Cook Jim Bickett has coined a slogan for the project: "No Swine Before Its Time."
Which reminds me
Many years ago, one of my Spanish Town neighbors told us that her brother had just made a stainless steel "Cajun microwave" and wanted to try cooking a whole pig in it. (He worked for one of the industries down the river, but we refrained from asking him where he got the material. …)
Another neighbor said he knew of an FFA (Future Farmers of America) club in, I think, French Settlement, that raised money by preparing whole hogs for cooking.
All the neighbors chipped in to buy the pig, and the cooking site was prepared in my backyard for the Saturday cookout.
On Friday afternoon, the seasoned pig was delivered to my house — something of a surprise, because I was expecting it the next morning.
There was no way it was fitting in my fridge, so I called Randy Hutchinson, who was then manager of Capitol Grocery on Spanish Town Road. (Randy, who died several years ago, was a former Spanish Town Mardi Gras king, my classmate at Istrouma High, and a great guy.)
I explained to him that I needed somewhere to stash a pig overnight, and he told me he was at home but would call the clerk on duty at the store and tell him to expect me.
Randy told me later that the conversation went like this:
Randy: "Smiley is bringing over a pig for us to keep overnight."
Clerk: "Is it dead or alive?"
Randy: "I don't know. If it's dead, put it in the cooler. If it's alive, stake it out back."
I tell this story whenever anyone asks me why I love Spanish Town. …
Hail the queen!
Don Stratmann, of Austin, Texas, says his mother, Merlyn Hebert Stratmann, a long-time Baton Rougean and native of Thibodaux, will be honored in her hometown Monday night.
At the Krewe of Christopher's Diamond Jubilee Tableau she will be recognized as the krewe's first queen in its 60-year history.
Don says he and his siblings will proudly accompany the queen as she accepts the recognition.
Cemetery angel
Carol Paine thanks the gent on the tractor in Green Oaks Cemetery for his help:
"I was refreshing the flowers on my son's grave when he stopped his tractor behind my car and said, 'Did you know there is a plastic bag under your car?'
"Before I could respond, he hopped off his tractor and grabbed a yellow plastic bag from under my car. He went back under and made sure he got the rest of the bag, because apparently it had stuck to something under there and had started burning.
"Thanks to this 'angel' I didn't end up with my car on fire.
"Unfortunately, I did not get his name, but if you see someone with a halo riding his tractor around Green Oaks, that is probably the one."

A law firm dealing with a claim for asbestos exposure is appealing for other victims and their families to come forward.
Their client Keith Collett, a Chippenham electrician who worked at Westinghouse for 43 years, died due to asbestos exposure, a coroner ruled last October.
Novum Law would like to hear from anyone else who worked at the Chippenham factory between 1950 and 1993 who may be able to assist them with the case.
Mr Collett, who had also worked at the factory in Melksham, died at his home in Little England aged 84.
It was not until 20 years after retiring, and a year after his wife Amy died, that he was diagnosed with the asbestos-related disease mesothelioma.
The post-mortem confirmed he had numerous asbestos bodies in his lungs and the mesothelioma was due to his exposure to asbestos as a maintenance electrician, an inquest in Salisbury heard.
Senior coroner David Ridley returned a verdict of death due to industrial disease.
Mr Collett would strip out the brake linings of hoist cranes around the factory and foundry, inhaling dust as asbestos used in the linings crumbled in his hands, according to Novum Law.
Lawyer Helen Grady said: "Unfortunately many workers were not aware of the dangers of asbestos, although employers had plenty of warning and even as early as the 1930s, legislation was passed which they simply failed to adhere to in order to protect workers from the deadly dust which the use of asbestos created.
"Mr Collett is sadly yet another victim of this once-called wonder substance. It was in actual fact extremely dangerous and now the working conditions he experienced would not be allowed.
"Any assistance you could give the family with information about this could be very helpful in successfully concluding their claim."
Anyone with information or affected by asbestos exposure can call 0800 884 0555.

BEIJING–Defending Olympic champion Zhang Ning of China recovered from a shaky start Sunday to defeat Thailand's Salakjit Ponsana in three sets at the Olympic badminton tournament.
Second-seeded Zhang defeated Ponsana 21-23, 21-17, 21-7 to advance to the third round of the women's singles tournament being played at Beijing University of Technology.
"I wasn't too worried after losing the first set," said Zhang, who had a first-round bye. "I've played her before so I knew what to expect."
In a men's singles first-round match, South Korea's Park Sung-hwan defeated Ottawa's Andrew Dabeka 21-11, 21-11.
"I struggled with the wind and conditions in the hall and it was difficult finding my rhythm," said Dabeka. "He is big and just controls the game."
Zhang is only seventh in the world rankings and has struggled with injuries this year but was picked over 2007 world champion Zhu Lin, who is third in the world rankings.
The 33-year-old Zhang was rusty in the first set but quickly took control of the match with smashes that were too powerful for her 29th-ranked opponent.
Zhang will next face South Korea's Jun Jae-youn, a 21-12, 21-14 winner over Chloe Magee of Ireland.
China won three of five gold medals in badminton at the Athens Olympics in 2004 and is expected to dominate on home soil.
Sunday was the first day China's players were in action and the capacity crowd was in full voice in support of their players, waving Chinese flags and shouting "Go China!"
Top-seeded Xie Xingfang was to play later Sunday against Cheng Sha-chieh of Taiwan.
In other matches, sixth-seeded Tine Rasmussen of Denmark coasted to a 21-6, 21-8 win over Akvile Stapusaityte of Lithuania and fifth-seeded Pi Hongyan of France defeated Peru's Claudia Rivero 21-6, 21-9.
China's Lin Dan is seeded No. 1 in the men's singles and will play his first match in the second round on Monday against unseeded Ng Wei of Hong Kong.
In women's doubles, defending Olympic champions Yang Wei and Zhang Jiewen of China defeated Indonesian pair Liliyana Natsir and Marissa Vita 21-19, 21-15 to advance to the quarter-finals.

Livestock production today is efficient and for the most part conducted under the best management available, including close relationships with veterinarians.
At the National Institute for Animal Agriculture's Antibiotic Use in Food Animals: A Dialogue for a Common Purpose conference in Chicago in October, swine veterinarian Paul Ruen, DVM, Fairmont Veterinary Clinic, Fairmont, Minn., spoke about this relationship and the care that is taken with swine production.
"Farms have gotten bigger," Ruen explained. "Some farms are owned by a number of families, and 95% of the producers I work with are family farmers."
Swine medicine has also changed with the times. "In swine medicine today diagnostics are better and we are fortunate to be two hours from three excellent diagnostic labs, and we do a lot of diagnostics at the practice as well which allows us to make quicker and more informative decisions," Ruen noted.
Ruen says farms and their teams of advisors have evolved over the years. "We have a lot more back and forth with other professionals working with the herds," he said. "Herd health has changed. Vaccines have improved and there has been a lot of innovation on the vaccine side, though there hasn't been a lot of change on the antibiotic side."
Biosecurity has been a huge innovation the swine industry has focused on more in the last 10 years, mostly pushed by the PRRS virus Ruen said. "PRRS is devastating for our industry and can allow a lot of other secondary pathogens to be a problem. We've focused on keeping disease out of the farm to begin with."
Genetic companies have also played their part in eliminating disease and developing genetic lines of new and better pigs.
Regarding antibiotics, Ruen stressed that diagnosis is at the center of their judicious use. "The key factor with antimicrobial use is timeliness," he said. He explained to the meeting's attendees that the routes of antibiotic administration in pigs are injectable or oral through water or feed.
Administration of antibiotic injections is targeted right behind the ear, in front of the should or behind the neck. "The challenge is correct administration and we focus a lot of training and setting pens up properly to do it right," Ruen added.
Health plans are dynamic like disease is, Ruen said. "We use antibiotics when we have to."

PHILADELPHIA – The University of Pennsylvania men's golf team is ready to tee off the 2013-14 season. The Quakers are at the second annual Patriot Intercollegiate this weekend, a 54-hole tournament that will see the teams play 36 holes on Saturday and a final 18 on Sunday.
Penn is one of two Ivy League teams in the 11-team field, along with Columbia. George Mason is the host institution. The field also includes Christopher Newport, Delaware, Hofstra, IUP, La Salle, Marshall, Villanova and Wagner. The tournament will take place on the Laurel Hills Golf Course in Lorton, Va.; the course will play at par-71 and measures 6,857 yards.
Penn's lineup will feature a pair of regulars from a year ago, juniors Austin Powell and Ben Cooley. Another junior, Tomas Agrest, will also be in the lineup along with a pair of freshmen, Matt Kern and Dane Walton. Sophomore Patrick O'Leary will also be in the field, playing as an individual.
"Our team heads to George Mason's event this weekend after enduring a grueling three weeks of qualifying," said Penn's second-year head coach, Bob Heintz. "Ben and Austin led the way in qualifying, and we are hoping they continue that solid play in our first fall event. We are without captain Max Marsico, who is recovering from a rib injury suffered late this summer. Rounding out the top five are Tomas atwo of the freshmen, Dane and Matt.
"Laurel Hill is an ideal golf course to play during our first tournament because it offers relatively generous fairways and straightforward greens," he said. "If our guys are feeling some early-season nerves, I think the course will forgive a couple of errors as they settle in. We would like to achieve a strong start to the season before heading to Yale the following week. The main goal in any golf tournament is to win, of course, but we will set individual goals for each player and see how it all adds up on Sunday. I know the team is relieved to be done with qualifying and excited to travel and compete."

I got the following question from a customer the other day and it got me thinking.
We want to be able to do simultaneous commenting (adding sticky notes, highlighting, etc.) on PDF documents hosted on SharePoint
Acrobat and Reader X now support check-in and check-out of SharePoint. You've been able to use SharePoint as a repository for Shared Reviews for several versions of Acrobat but that didn't require check-in and check-out. So the question now becomes, what's the recommended way of commenting on a PDF file now that you can check it out of SharePoint, comment on it and then check it back in?
First some clarification. The Acrobat X "Shared Review" function will allow you to store a document on a SharePoint server (or any server really) and then set SharePoint as a repository for comments so that all commenters can see all comments at the same time. The original file is untouched on the server; the comments are stored separately as an overlay and managed by SharePoint. When a user opens the file, Acrobat reaches out to SharePoint and retrieves the comments dynamically. Because the underlying document is treated by Acrobat as read-only, this method does not require the document to be checked-out to comment… remember, comments are stored separately. This method has the added advantage of being able to send the PDF file to someone who does not have access to the SharePoint server, have them comment on it in Acrobat or Reader, send it back to you and have the comments integrated into the SharePoint repository by the original sender – automatically. It's a great way to collect feedback from your supply chain or vendors. Additionally, this method is backward compatible to version 7 of Reader and Acrobat.
You can alternatively upload a PDF file to SharePoint and have a commenting free-for-all without using the above workflow. However, there is a price. The document will need to be checked-out by anyone wishing to comment. This means only one commenter can be commenting at a time and will need to check-in the document when finished which could, though not necessarily, create a new "version" of the document in SharePoint. Additionally, in this use case, the comments are stored inside the document and commenters are able to delete each others comments; not good. This method requires everyone to be on Acrobat X because only Acrobat X supports SharePoint check-in/out and versioning.
So – after all that… I recommend that users of SharePoint continue to use Shared Reviews if they want to collect feedback on PDF documents even though we support check-in and check-out.

"Game changer" is a term you hear often when people talk about how technology has changed their industry.
Best practices benchmarking occurs when one organization takes another organization's best operating practices and makes it their own. But doing this requires knowledge of which other organizations excel in a particular area and the ability to distill that excellence into a set of guidelines, habits, processes and policies that can be adopted internally. Best-practices benchmarking is the how of closing the gap between current lagging performance and future state.

 Not surprisingly, as imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, companies want to learn from their non-competitive peers as rapidly and non-disruptively as possible. But one hurdle is determining where the best "best practices" can in fact be found. Industry reputation is sometimes undeserved. How many times, in fact, have we read a press release about our company that made us think, "That doesn't sound like my workplace!"

 The Seven Levels of Benchmarking

 There are different forms of best practices benchmarking "intensity," beginning with a basic level and proceeding to the most involved and effective form. Let us explore each in its turn.

 Level 1: Learn from Past Success
 "Success Analysis" documents focus on a corporate-specific task. Oftentimes, such efforts reveal "Centers of Competency" that can be exploited by other areas of the business. Virtually anything—sales meetings, reports, rep review projects, sales transformation programs—can be captured and assessed in this way. Knowledge Management software programs exist to support this function. The first step is to recognize when there is success and document it and then later to publicize, share, and emulate the practice. This is the most elemental form of best-practices benchmarking; it is surprising so few companies practice it.

 Level 2: Borrow Good Ideas
 These ideas originate from outside the organization and are freely available. Ideas can come from research, observation and inference—all sourced from the public domain. What is important is that the idea is already working for some other salesperson or sales organization. Some creative adoption and recognition is necessary to perceive that an external best practice can and should be applied internally. As with Level 1, it is relatively easy to find good sales ideas, but more difficult to implement them.

 Level 3: Best-in-Company
 This type of benchmarking captures certain follow-up activity in companies collecting large amounts of CRM data. Through assessment of data in various dashboard systems, sales executives spot top performers. The trick that many miss is not simply to identify who scores highest in an important sales metric but, instead, to systematically study those top performers. What are they doing, why and when that helps them excel? What are their habits and attitudes? How do they differ from median quota-bearing sales representatives? Answering these questions allows a list of best-in-company practices to be assembled and disseminated throughout the organization.

 Level 4: Industry Standard
 This type of benchmarking, and the next three that follow, all require comparison of internal performance to external performance. What differs in each is the degree of excellence represented by the external sample set. In industry-standard sales benchmarking, the goal is to bring a sales force up to a performance level approximate to that of a relevant peer group. The gap between your company's sales forces and the median state for the peer group might be great and the financial payback large.

 Level 5: Industry Leadership
 This type of benchmarking focuses on exceeding top competitors' performance in the sales function, not just achieving parity. The ability to demonstrate such superiority rests partly on the discipline of competitive intelligence. In the end, the fruit of achieving such excellence is the confidence that your sales force is contributing more to your business than is your competition. This does not imply that your sales function has achieved a strategic advantage; just that it has achieved prominence in the identified market space.

 Level 6: Best-in-Country
 Achieving this designation may have significance to the organization based on its customer base, market, and geography. Those selling to government organizations or those in relatively closed economies will value this highly. Being best-in-country in a critical business function can assist in advertising, talent recruitment, and even marketing. This can be demonstrated if the data exists to support it and the organization considers it relevant to compare a business function across many industries, services and companies.

 Level 7: World Class
 The urge to be the Babe Ruth of benchmarking is irresistible. Sales leaders particularly are on the hunt for the big idea that is easily adopted and yields breakthrough results. These do exist, but they are a few. Most successes achieved through sales benchmarking are a series of modest improvements that, taken together, enable a sales organization to achieve world-class performance.

 To attain world-class status in benchmarking requires a deep and longstanding commitment, resources, patience and a willingness to persevere through obstacles. One of the most difficult experiences for a world-class benchmarking effort is the humbling experience of comparing performance against the best-in-world. Oftentimes, the gaps are large enough to be discouraging, even humiliating.

 Greg Alexander, Aaron Bartels and Mike Drapeau are authors of Making the Number: How to use Sales Benchmarking to Drive Performance, a guide that connects the dots in showing readers how to improve their sales organization dramatically. It will teach, inspire and guide readers toward embracing benchmarking as the best way to transform a sales force. www.MakingTheNumber.com.

Celebrating illustration, design, cartoon and comic art of the mid-20th century.
Monday, June 09, 2008
Robert Heindel: "following the path Fuchs led"
"I remember seeing Robert Heindel's work in the Saturday Evening Post in 1966 or '67 and also in a Honeywell brochure I was told he had illustrated. The Honeywell brochure had impressive technique. In 1971 his pencil drawing of Daniel Ellsberg [above] was a new pencil treatment I liked. Heindel illustrated a Winchester catalog with montages, and a brochure for Pan Am. I found his art in most national magazines and paperback book covers."
In 1977 I decided to attend the Illustrators Workshop. It was from June 26-July 22, 1977. My wife and three daughters, one, three and four years old went in my '76 Rabbit. My wife & daughters stayed with friends in Queens & I went to Marymount College in Tarrytown, New York."
"We were instructed to bring a comp sketch for an assignment we would do at the workshop. We would do one more after the first was completed. After meeting the faculty we showed our comps & received suggestions. Each of the artists showed slides and spoke about their work on succeeding days. Richard Gangel spoke to us. Harvey Kahn talked about representing artists. The people listed in the seminar literature each spoke."
"We visited the artists' studios in their homes or in Bob Peak's case a building he had his studio in."
"Robert Heindel's studio was in his home with many drawings & paintings to see. He liked to draw with conte crayon which he sharpened to a point. I was able to photograph some of his drawings & made prints on my return home. Like Mark English, Heindel tried to follow the path [Bernie] Fuchs led. Heindel worked in Detroit for 5 years then moved to New York."
"He mentioned that things had changed, and he found markets other than the magazines. Some were not as visible but they paid well. He was able to convey how committed he was and how much he liked doing what he did. The seminar was helpful, not in teaching particular methods or little tricks, but encouraging students to find their own way of working. I thought the workshop was a good experience and a great bargain."
*Many thanks to Harold for relating his experience of attending the Illustrators Workshop and meeting Robert Heindel - and for sharing all the scans we'll be seeing this week.

Absolutely stunung photo. Thanks for sharing. PS- Have you been to this
site? http://todaysinspiration.blogspot.com/ There's a blurb about
Robert Heindel. I met Bob when I was working for Paul Sullivan Studio in
the early 70's. Paul Sullivan illustrated a calendar for Owens Corning
that year and asked Bob if he would illustrate one of the month's. Bob
did an illustration of a night scene of a factory that produced
insulation for Owens corning. The illustration was fantastic but the
marketing guy at Owens Corning didn't care for it. Sullivan said no way
is Bob going to do something different and pushed the illustration
through. Can you imagine that? Anyway I thought you would like the
story. Do you know Robert Heindel? Robert was a classmate of Paul

How to Reduce Your Medication Costs
Medical Author: Omudhome Ogbru, Pharm.D.
Anyone who takes prescription medications is aware that medications are expensive. For those taking several medications, the monthly expense can amount to a few hundred dollars. Will discuss several ways to reduce the costs for medications.
How do I eliminate unnecessary medications?
The first step in reducing costs for medications is to eliminate unnecessary medications. To do this, you must know why you are taking each medication, what results to expect from taking it, and how long you should take it. If the medication does not do what it is supposed to within a reasonable amount of time, you should consult your healthcare provider about discontinuing the medication or trying alternative medications. There is no reason to take medications that provide no benefit. Individuals sometimes continue to refill prescriptions for medications that they should no longer be taking. The inappropriateness of continuing the medication may not be noticed until the prescription is no longer refillable, usually one year after it is written, and the pharmacist calls the health care practitioner for a new prescription. By then, a lot of money may have been wasted.

Hello Everyone,
I not that experienced with web design when it comes to php scripts still learning. I am designing my website and would like to add a contact form that don't need php scripts.Does anyone knows where I can get such scripts.
many thanks
mmm.... someone asking on the php forum not to use php !!!
You are going to need some scripting somewhere, be it php, asp, or Perl, a straight html page can send the form data, but cannot recieve and process it let along send an email.
Yes there are packages available that you can download and plug into your site, (the scripts are predone) or there are services that you just point your form to and they will process and send the email for you.
But sitting here with my PHP hat on, why not take a couple of hours and learn how to write that script yourself its easier than it looks, and theres loads of support here.
You cannot implement a contact form without a script to process it. The script can be written in PHP, Perl, ASP, or any type of programming language your server support. However, there are services available that will process the form for you such as Google Docs:
I have moved this from php. Like you, I am no programmer and although it's been explained to me several times and I've read through several tutorials, php is not as easy as it looks and messing it up can mean a major break in your site. Hopefully, someone here can help you. There are several plugins and scripts that can send contact information. Probably, though, your best option is a boiler plate php that will deal with security issues as well as deliver mail to your inbox.
The basic PHP scripts available online are pretty simple to use. You just need to change the email address. All the same, there are some nice alternatives out there, such as WooFoo.
Thanks for the link would I need a database like MySQL as well? or just have php?
I guess I have a lot to learn.
I am glad someone realised php is not easy at all and yes I am scared I will make a big mess but I just need to learn from scratch.
No Helen You do not need a database, just a server that can accept php scripts
ok thanks.
look at the link I gave you back in my original post, its complete and you only have to change a couple of lines to make it work for you.
To know whether your hosting package handles php scripts make a blank file called test.php and put this code in it.
echo 1+4;
save to your server then call up the file from a browser, if you see the number 5 then your good to go.
I have got php installed and can see it at localhost that it has been installed but when i tried your code in dreamweaver I get the following:
Not Found
The requested URL /test.php was not found on this server.
You need to navigate to the test.php page in your browser to test the page. Dreamweaver won't process PHP.
ok thank you
Any Luck over there ?

A NEWPORT man has spent years researching the life of his great uncle, who was one of the youngest men from Gwent to die in the First World War.
Job William White was just 16 when he died on May 8, 1915, during the battle of Frenzenburg, along with more than 230 men of the Monmouthshire Regiment.
Private 2169 of B Company in the 1st Monmouhshire Regiment was affectionately known by his family as 'Little Willie'.
His great-nephew Philip Martin, 73, a retired project engineer from St Julians, said: "The more you read, the more you realise what a terrible war this was. It's a big story, but a very sad one for Newport.
"Job was my grandmother's brother and they lived on Caerleon Road. The house is still there today.
"The 1st Mons were mostly from Newport and a very large number of them were all killed on the same day, May 8, 1915, when the battalion was more or less annihilated at a place called Mouse Hole Farm, renamed by the troops as Shell Hole Farm.
"The 1st Mons were positioned there and faced a barrage of up 100 shells per minute.
"When the East Lancashire Regiment came to relieve them, they found that two whole platoons of the Rifle Brigades (1st Mons were riflemen) had been completely wiped out.
"This was where Pte 2169 Job William White lost his life.
"I started researching him and the rest of the family eight or ten years ago. One day, I came across his medals and looked them up on a website of military records, and that's how it all began."
"I'm doing it for my grandchildren, really. Four years ago, I took mygrandson to Ypres, to see Job's name on the cenotaph there."
Mr Martin has created slideshows, documents and records his findings on a family tree programme on his computer.
Letter from the front
THE LETTER dated April 20, 1915, from Private Job William White to his sister, May, in Newport:
Dear May since I sent you the P.C. we have had another shift & the place where we are & the trenches we have to go to are the worst we have had up to now, in fact I don't think there is any place along the line worst, we are holding when more fighting is taking place, it is as we were told by the chaps who have been there "a hell on earth" & I thank God I am able to say I am alright.
Dear May don't think when you read these few lines that I have got "The wind up" (that is what we say when men get afraid) because I have not, but I think a lot more and pray more to our maker than I ever did in my life because he is the only one who can stop this war and I hope it will soon be over.

Last month, Rolling Stone Magazine broke the news of Against Me!'s lead singer Tom "Tommy" Gabel as beginning his transition from male to female. As described in the article, the punk rock singer had been privately dealing with gender dysphoria since childhood. Eventually becoming Laura Jane Grace, pictured, she describes her decision as necessary and a relief to the unhappiness she has felt for a long time.
The news was a bit of a shock coming from a rough and tumble punk rock world where aggressive banter and overbearing masculinity is celebrated. However, there have been many subtle, and some obvious, hints throughout Against Me!'s music. In the band's 2007 album New Wave, the track "The Ocean" reads: If I could have chosen I would have been born a woman / My mother once told me she would have named me Laura / I would grow up to be strong and beautiful like her / One day I'd find an honest man to make my husband.

Physicians Formula CoverToxTen50 Wrinkle Therapy Face Powder
Physicians Formula CoverToxTen50 Wrinkle Therapy Face Powder Reviews
A Nice, Effective PowderThe powders I use are chosen carefully, as too many can be aging and drying. I was fascinated when Physician's Formula came out with "CoverToxTen50" powder specifically to disguise wrinkles, firm skin, and help disguise age spots. The chemistry made sense: Physician's Formula uses GABA, a muscle relaxant naturally occurring in the body, to calm facial muscles (much like the way BOTOX works). ...read more BV-OSC™, an active form of Vitamin C, helps to encourage the synthesis of collagen, which keeps skin firm. The brush which comes with the compact isn't highly useful, so I substituted a kabuki brush instead and worked this over my complexion in circles. I liked the coverage (gentle radiance), and there was a softening of some of the furrows just beginning to appear. Physician's Formula claims that there is a 50% improvement in five minutes (and I saw it). After ten days of continuous use, skin is 90% visibly smoother. I love this and keep it in my vanity and in my purse. — 4 years, 3 months agoGigiSD | 1102 reviews

This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 1 people said helpful
Didn't work well for me ;(I just read GigiSD's review on this and almost feel guilty that I wasn't fond of this powder, but I still have to remain honest and say that this didn't really work for me... I usually like most "Physicians Formula" products I try, and I love their "Mineral Wear" powder in "translucent" (the mosaic kind, not the "spotty" one), and I got this hoping that it will work just as well, but take care of ...read moresome of my fine lines as well. I was very wrong... I'm in my mid thirties, but my skin is in pretty good condition... I can't say that I have a lot of wrinkles but I do have them, even though most of them are fine lines. So I don't know what type of skin I would need to have in order to like this, so I'm describing my skin type just to let your know that for my particular skin it didn't work, and in case yours is the same, hopefully this review will help you... My combination skin tone is somewhere between NC20-25 and NW 20-25, and I got this in "Translucent Light"... So here's the weird thing. When I swatched it with my fingure, the texture felt very light and it really did feel like it would look translucent on my skin, but when I apply it on my face, for some reason it looks very powdery. That's a very odd thing for me, because I always thought that powdery looking powders have to feel pretty thick and not finely milled. This one feels very thin and light, but just doesn't look like it on my face... So I can't say if the science behind this powder, in terms of wrinkle relaxation and things like that, makes sense because I just can't wear this long enough to find out. And because it looked so powdery on my face, I'm unfortunately not able to recommend this as a good product... I'm still giving this six stars because in general, I support a lot of "Physicians Formula" products. This is just one that I happen not to like but no brand is 100% perfect... — 3 years, 9 months agoNikatron | 150 reviews

My Reasons for Reporting This

Unlike the U.S.A., with it's lock monoculture of Kwikset, Schlage and Master Lock, Asian people seem to like variety in their security products. In fact, every house we visited in Taiwan seemed to have a stainless steel outer door with big rim cylinder lock, an inner steel door and bars. And the locks don't disappoint, either. Some of the locks had round dimple keys, others were triangular, star-shaped or side-dimpled. The exterior deadbolts had combo latch and bolt hardware with 12mm or larger bolts.
And then there were the padlocks, with some of the same features, and $10 knock-offs of the Abloy-style Disc lock.
Check out these locks I bought in Kaohsiung:
The guy at the small shop I purchased these at said that lock picking is a common activity, and I could have ordered manipulation tools for most of the popular locks had I given him some more notice. Something for next time!

CLAY COUNTY, Fla. - A 19-year-old inmate in the Clay County jail died Tuesday morning.
According to the Clay County Sheriff's Office, Daniel Linsinbigler, of Orange Park, experienced some type of medical emergency while in custody and was found unresponsive when checked on by a detention deputy making his normal morning rounds at 9 a.m.
Multiple detention personnel responded and performed CPR on Linsinbigler in an attempt to revive him, but they, along with efforts by Clay County fire and rescue personnel were unsuccessful.
Linsinbigler died at Orange Park Medical Center at about 10 a.m.
Linsinbigler doesn't have any immediate family members in the area, but the attempt to locate any next of kin for notification purposes is ongoing, deputies said.
Linsinbigler was in jail awaiting arraignment scheduled for Thursday on charges of indecent exposure by unlawfully exposing his sexual organs. Deputies said that on March 2, he was seen running naked on public grounds, entered a woman's hotel room at the Stay Suites Hotel and began yelling Bible scripture at the woman.
Another woman told deputies she saw Linsinbigler running naked and saying "he could save everybody, and he was God," according to a police report.
The Sheriff's Office said it requested the assistance of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement in investigating the death, which is standard procedure when an in-custody death of an inmate occurs.

FIRST World War commemorations are set to get under way in Hyndburn.
A huge 7.5m by 65m banner, covering offices in Broadway, Accrington, has been put up, and balloons will be launched before a memorial service, on Sunday, February 16.
Veterans, dignitaries and politicians are expected to attend, alongside family members of the Accrington Pals, and the public, from 1pm.
The widow of Pals historian and author Bill Turner, Ruth, will be a special guest at the event, part of national commemorations to mark the centenary of the start of the First World War.
She said: "Chronicling the history of the Pals, and recognition for their bravery, was my late husband's life's work and I'm happy to be able to represent him on this momentous occasion."
A service will be held from 3pm at St John the Evangelist Church, in Addison Street.
The banner features several images of soldiers from the regiment, formally known as the 11th East Lancashire Regiment, posing, sitting, and marching, accompanied by large images of the Union Jack, and poppies.

ITEMS from a cargo that washed overboard last month are continuing to wash up onto Dorset beaches.
Cigarettes, pet food, sachets of tea, packets of feta cheese and olives are just some of the items that have been found.
The cargo was separated from the Svenborg Maersk containership during storms in the Bay of Biscay.
A number of local residents have tried to remove the items that have washed up along the coast between West Bexington in the west and Hengistbury Head in the east.
Chesil Beach is continuing to see the highest concentration of cargo. The Dorset Waste Partnership (DWP) has collected and disposed of nearly 10 tonnes of litter from the beach.
Tim Limbach, from Dorchester, who often visits Chesil Beach with his wife, said they had tried to organise their own clean-up for the affected area.
He said: "We love nature and birds in particular. Last year we helped with the Little Tern Project as volunteer wardens.
"I tried to set one up having been down there and helped with other ones.
"For me it is something that needs to be done every weekend until it's clean."
Mr Limbach said a lot of the litter was in difficult to get to places, claiming it existed 'as far as the eye can see'.
He said: "There's an awful lot of rubbish there. It is very frustrating but very difficult for individuals. It is a long way to take it from the beach to the vehicles.
"There are still hundreds of cartons of cigarettes. There are a lot of dead birds."
The DWP is continuing to work with landowners, volunteers and other agencies to coordinate the clean-up.
The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) recently reported that a fourth container had been spotted off Start Point in Devon.
The cost of the clean-up operation is currently being covered by the loss adjustor for the container ship.
A beach clean will take place at Chesil Beach this Sunday from 11am. Volunteers are asked to meet at the Chesil Beach Centre.
In addition to this, the 26th annual Great Dorset Beach Clean will take place on April 27.

If you've found yourself wondering how Adobe Fireworks can fit into your web and mobile design workflows, or how you can introduce students to a visual method of designing for mobile, I may have just the thing for you.
Today, my new eBook, Using the CSS3 Mobile Pack for Adobe Fireworks CS5, went live at http://www.peachpit.com/.
While there are already a couple good how-to tutorials available at the Fireworks Developer Center, I wanted to take a deeper, more practical approach to this new extension. I wanted to go beyond the how and hopefully address the why. I walk you through the basics, but then I move you to a realistic application of the extension. You will learn about both parts of the CSS3 Mobile Pack:
- CSS Properties Panel
- jQuery Mobile Theme Builder
CSS Properties Panel
In the chapter on the CSS Properties panel, for example, you'll be doing more than simply exporting a rounded corner rectangle as CSS3 mark up; you will be taking a completed web page design and – using Fireworks and a Dreamweaver HTML5 starter page layout – building a standards-based web page, complete with navigation, semi-transparent content areas and stylized text.
The only bitmap in the page is the background image. And it was all done with a minimum of coding. Maybe it's just me, but I think that's pretty cool.
jQuery Mobile Theme builder
In the chapter on the jQuery Mobile Skinning, you will study and work with the jQuery Mobile template file, also part of the CSS3 Mobile Pack, and learn how to customize an existing skin and export that new mark up over to Dreamweaver to quickly create a simple, customized mobile web site.
Time-saver in production and in the classroom
Whether you are comfortable with code or not, the new tools in this extension can be a creative and time-saving boon.
A designer can export out standards based mark up, which can be further edited and tweaked by a developer in their preferred web page editing environment. Or if the designer wears both hat, he or she can move quickly from a visual design to realizing that design in HTML and CSS. I think this is a great example of Fireworks bridging the gap between designers and developers.
And for students learning the craft of web and mobile design, it gives them the opportunity to create their design first, and then see how that design becomes converted to code. Or, depending on the design itself, learn about the limitations to be aware of when building a standards-based design that targets multiple devices.
Either way, it's a win-win.
Final thoughts
The fact that the extension is also FREE is another bonus. I think it's pretty cool that Adobe released this extension now, rather than making anyone wait for the next version of Fireworks.
If you're interested in the ebook, it's available for less than $6.50 USD at http://www.peachpit.com/. Feel free to follow me on twitter @JimBabbage. If you've got questions, that's a great place to find me.

Topic: Hiccups
A tip from a website I ran across (Hiccups.org):
The New England Journal of Medicine is quoted stating:
"Swallow one teaspoon of white granulated sugar....swallow it fast, if the hiccups don't stop right away do it 3 or more times - once every two minutes".
My Ben tried this after several hours of painful hiccups - and after two administrations of sugar - the hiccups were gone....and so far have been gone for over 24 hours.
Reading through historical posts, it sounds like either Steroids or Gemzar could be the culprit for the hiccups.
(thanks Marion for suggesting to post this tip here).
