To reduce the cost of network-wide broadcast in wireless sensor networks (WSNs), it's a common practice to establish a connected dominating set (CDS). A lot of algorithms have been proposed to construct CDS, and most of them aim at reducing the size of the created CDS. Existing distributed algorithms require that all nodes exchange announcement messages to acquire local topology in order to construct CDS. However, the process of construction and maintenance of CDS can cause huge overhead, especially in the context of WSNs, where the node density is high and the quantity of nodes is large. In this paper, we focus upon reducing the overhead of the CDS construction process, and propose a highly efficient distributed algorithm based on our previous work. We show that, to construct a CDS, a portion of nodes in the network don't have to generate announcement messages. An opportunistic announcement scheme is presented to determine such nodes. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm greatly reduces the overhead compared to existing algorithms, while the size of the established CDS remains the same. An interesting fact is shown that certain nodes can just keep silent during the whole process of construction and maintenance of CDS. © 2016 IEEE.

In this paper, we discuss the intra- and inter-path interference problems of multiple-path transmission in multiple-hop wireless networks, and show that classical node-disjoint paths are highly sensible to these problems, thus incapable of providing ideal throughput for multiple-path transmission. To tackle the problems, this paper gives a detailed analysis to the intra- and inter-path interference problems based on graph theory. Being aware that node-disjoint ness is no longer adequate to describe the properties of paths that are capable to provide the maximum throughput for multiple-path transmission, the new concepts of irreducible and neighbor-disjoint paths are proposed. Via detailed discussion, the theoretical upper bound of throughput achievable by multiple-path transmission via irreducible and neighbor-disjoint paths with at least 3 hops is given. It's proved that, by using irreducible and neighbor-disjoint paths, multiple-path transmission is capable to achieve near capacity throughput. © 2014 IEEE.

When moving in viscous medium, the mass of a Brownian particle is fluctuant and its damping force depends on the past velocity history. Therefore, in order to investigate the characteristics of Brownian motion in viscous medium, fractional harmonic oscillator is proposed in this paper for the first time so for as we know. First, the Shapiro-Loginov formula is fractionized to solve fractional stochastic differential equation with exponential correlative stochastic coefficients. Then, by using stochastic averaging method and fractional Shapiro-Loginov formula, the analytical expression of a system's steady response amplitude is presented and the system's resonant behavior is discussed accordingly. Finally, the reliability of theoretical results is tested by simulation experiments. All the research shows that: (1) Stochastic resonant behavior can be induced by mass fluctuation noise. (2) Parameter-induced resonance can be induced by memory damping force. (3) Under different parameter conditions, the system's resonant forms are diverse. © 2013 Chinese Physical Society.

Optical filters with an ultranarrow and rectangular spectral response are highly desired for high-resolution optical/ electrical signal processing. An all-fiber optical filter based on a fiber Bragg grating with a large number of phase shifts is designed and fabricated. The measured spectral response shows a 3 dB bandwidth of 650 MHz and a rectangular shape factor of 0.513 at the 25 dB bandwidth. This is the narrowest rectangular bandpass response ever reported for an all-fiber filter, to the best of our knowledge. The filter has also the intrinsic advantages of an all-fiber implementation. © 2013 Optical Society of America.

In this paper we use Dirac function to construct a fractional operator called fractional corresponding operator, which is the general form of momentum corresponding operator. Then we give a judging theorem for this operator and with this judging theorem we prove that R-L, G-L, Caputo, Riesz fractional derivative operator and fractional derivative operator based on generalized functions, which are the most popular ones, coincide with the fractional corresponding operator. As a typical application, we use the fractional corresponding operator to construct a new fractional quantization scheme and then derive a uniform fractional Schrödinger equation in form. Additionally, we find that the five forms of fractional Schrödinger equation belong to the particular cases. As another main result of this paper, we use fractional corresponding operator to generalize fractional quantization scheme by using Lévy path integral and use it to derive the corresponding general form of fractional Schrödinger equation, which consequently proves that these two quantization schemes are equivalent. Meanwhile, relations between the theory in fractional quantum mechanics and that in classic quantum mechanics are also discussed. As a physical example, we consider a particle in an infinite potential well. We give its wave functions and energy spectrums in two ways and find that both results are the same. © 2014 Elsevier Inc.

An enhanced eigenspace-based beamformer (ESB) derived using the minimum sensitivity criterion is proposed with significantly improved robustness against steering vector errors. The sensitivity function is defined as the squared norm of the appropriately scaled weight vector and since the sensitivity function of an array to perturbations becomes very large in the presence of steering vector errors, it can be used to find the best projection for the ESB, irrespective of the distribution of additive noises. As demonstrated by simulation results, the proposed method has a better performance than the classic ESBs and the previously proposed uncertainty set based approach. © 2016 Springer Science+Business Media New York

The detection of early manmade fire carries profound meaning in warning systems to prevent fire-related terrorist attacks. Despite a large number of work on fire detection in the computer vision literature, there is no specific method for early stage manmade fire detection, our best knowledge. Compared to traditional fire detection, there is less information on early stage man-made fire for detection, because of the small scale and short appearance. In this paper, an algorithm is proposed by combining the characteristics of fire with human activity. Experimental comparisons have shown that our algorithm has outperformed the state-of- The-art fire detection methods, as the initial combustion is considered. © 2015 IEEE.

The improvement of the capability to detect dim targets is commonly realized by long-term accumulation. In order to detect those high speed targets, a novel radar signal processing method based on Keystone transform for surveillance radar is presented, which is able to compensate the range migration effect caused by long dwell time and high speed motion of targets. The target energy is accumulated effectively, and Doppler ambiguity is solved by data fusion. Finally, the target detection and parameter estimation are implemented. The proposed method can be used to detect multiple dim targets with different ranges and velocities by long-term coherent accumulation. Meanwhile, the speed measurement resolution is improved significantly with the number of pulses increased. Multi-target simulation results illustrate the effectivity of the proposed method.

IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation | Year: 2013
The radiation characteristics of a wideband conformal end-fire antenna array mounted on a large conducting cylinder are investigated in this communication. By employing balanced Vivaldi antenna element, the antenna array has ultra-wide bandwidth, low cross-polarization levels, and wide 3 dB beam-width. It is shown that using a larger antenna height, shorter distance away from the edge of a hollow conducting cylinder, and bigger slant angle of antenna element leads to better end-fire radiation performances. Measured radiation patterns are compared with simulated values and a good agreement is observed. A radome-antenna system is also studied and it is found that the antenna has a larger beam-pointing angle in the H-plane owing to the electromagnetic waves reflected from a dielectric radome surface, while retaining its symmetric pattern in the E-plane. These findings may provide useful insights and guidelines for the design of large radome-antenna systems mounted a cylindrical platform. © 1963-2012 IEEE.

We demonstrate the fabrication of graphene-deposited tapered fibers (GDTFs), which can be used as saturable absorbers (SAs) for pulsed lasers. The advantages of GDTF SAs include flexibility, all-fiber configuration, and high optical damage threshold. The fabrication process is based on the interaction of the evanescent field of a tapered fiber with graphene. By in situ monitoring the transmitted power, the deposition process can be controlled, and the GDTF with a desirable level of nonsaturable absorption loss can be fabricated. We also study the dynamic deposition process by employing different waist diameters of tapered fibers and the different deposition powers. The results show that the deposition time can be significantly shortened with stronger evanescent field by decreasing the taper diameter or increasing the deposition power. Furthermore, by exploiting the GDTF as an intracavity passive power modulating element, we demonstrate efficient Q-switched and mode-locked erbium-doped fiber lasers, respectively. © 2012 IEEE.

How to book a non-religious wedding ceremony
(1 vote)
You may have decided that you wish to get married, but not in a church. In England and Wales, this will be a civil wedding ceremony in either a registration office or in approved premises (a hotel, stately home, country house etc.).
Decide on the date and time that you would like to get married. Be prepared to be a little flexible with the time.
Make an appointment to go to the registration office or venue where you would like the ceremony to take place. If you visit more than one venue, you will soon begin to get a feel for the place that suits you best.
You don't have to get married in the area (registration district) in which you live.
Once you have decided upon where the wedding will happen, make a provisional booking with the venue so that you reserve the date. If it is in a district away from where you live, you will need to speak to the registration office in that area to let them know what you are planning.
Contact your local registration office. This does have to be in the area in which you live. They will explain that you need to give Notice of Marriage and will outline the documentation that you will need to take along to the registration office that is most convenient to you.
You can give Notice of Marriage within one year of the date of your marriage. Giving Notice if Marriage is where you take in proof of who you are, where you live and, if you've been married before, proof of your marital status. If you and your partner live in different registration districts, each of you will have to visit your own local office. Giving Notice of Marriage is something that you have to do in person and nobody else can do it on your behalf.
At this stage, you will have started the process and will be guided by both the registration service and by the staff at your chosen venue.
Enjoy the day!
Until you've confirmed your wedding date and time, don't book anything else (photographer, cars etc.) and don't send out invitations.
Listen to advice from friends and family . . . but make sure that the final decision is yours.
Save petrol and time by doing your preliminary work on-line. The registration service website is a good place to start as it will list its offices and the approved venues. There will be photographs to give you an idea of the appearance of the ceremony rooms. The registration website will be found on your council website. Click on Registration before following the links.
Enjoy this planning stage. There'll be plenty of time to feel nervous nearer the wedding.

Movies, Film And Acting At South By Southwest
At the SXSW Film Festival, we profile the new film Lovers of Hate, hear how distribution will change in five years and attend Jeffrey Tambor's acting seminar.
LIANE HANSEN, host:
For every big studio movie, there are countless, small independent films waiting to be seen. They often show up at festivals, like South by Southwest in Austin, Texas, because that's where deals are made. A record number of movies were submitted to festival organizers this year - nearly 4,000 - and one of those films got a lucky break.
"Lovers of Hate" is a dark comedy about two brothers in love with the same woman. One of the brothers writes young adult fiction - think "Harry Potter." The other brother is not so successful, and likes wallowing in his own unhappiness.
(Soundbite of movie, "Lovers of Hate")
Unidentified Man: Let me just preface this by saying I love the guy, okay? He's my brother, I love him, but you did the right thing. Diana, neither one of us are ever going to make him a happy person, all right? That's not going to happen. That's not who he is.
HANSEN: "Lovers of Hate" will be released in theaters in May, but it can be seen now on cable television's Independent Film Channel. It's directed by Brian Poyser and stars Chris Doubek and Heather Kafka. The actors are from Austin and were at South by Southwest this year. They even participated in a workshop led by Jeffrey Tambor. You may know the actor from "The Larry Sanders Show" or "Arrested Development." He told the actors that they have to be willing to act badly before they can act well.
Mr. JEFFREY TAMBOR (Actor): I have four kids at home. I have two five-month-old boy twins and I have a three-year-old and a five-year-old and that's why I look this way. And they are willing to build but they're also willing to destroy, as you know, and they love destruction. And we lose that. We just go, is this good? That's the killer - is this good? Is this right? Do they like it? The hat in the hand, waiting for the director to go, that's, that's, you understand, whereas I'm for you guys getting down and dirty. We can always repair it.
HANSEN: To illustrate the point, Jeffrey Tambor used a scene from "Lovers of Hate." This is how the scene is played in the film.
(Soundbite of movie, "Lovers of Hate")
Mr. CHRIS DOUBEK (Actor): (as Rudy) We'll break up right after dinner.
Ms. HEATHER KAFKA (Actress): (as Diana) We are broken up.
Mr. DOUBEK: I know, I know. I am under no illusion about that but he is, so I'd like it if you would not dissuade him from that.
Ms. KAFKA: Well, I'm not going to do that to Paul.
Mr. DOUBEK: Why not?
Ms. KAFKA: Because he's your brother.
Mr. DOUBEK: So what?
Ms. KAFKA: So what?
HANSEN: At the workshop, Tambor instructs Chris Doubek to perform the same scene as a little kid. In fact, to pretend he is Heather Kafka's three-year-old child.
Mr. DOUBEK: Why not?
Ms. KAFKA: No, I'm not going to do that, no, no.
Mr. DOUBEK: Why not, why not, why not, why not, why not?
Ms. KAFKA: Stop it.
Mr. DOUBEK: Why not?
Ms. KAFKA: No.
Mr. DOUBEK: Why not, why not?
Ms. KAFKA: 'Cause I don't want to do that to Paul.
Mr. TAMBOR: And does Harper get mad?
Mr. DOUBEK: Sometimes.
Ms. KAFKA: Oh yeah.
Mr. TAMBOR: Let's have Harper have a temper tantrum.
Ms. KAFKA: No.
Mr. DOUBEK: Why not.
Ms. KAFKA: No, no.
Mr. DOUBEK: Why not.
Ms. KAFKA: Okay. You done?
HANSEN: After the workshop ended, we corralled the two actors for an interview, but first, Harper, Kafka's three-year-old daughter, needed some mommy time.
Ms. KAFKA: This is my daughter Harper.
Ms. DOUBEK: A lollipop and a...
Ms. KAFKA: Where did you get this?
HARPER: In mommy's purse.
Ms. KAFKA: In mommy's purse?
HARPER: Um-hum. Daddy has it.
HANSEN: So, you feel like you - I mean, even though you are a working actor in a film...
Mr. DOUBEK: Right.
HANSEN: ...that's going to be distributed, you discovered new things today.
Mr. DOUBEK: Oh sure, yeah. And I'm also reminded about being around people like Jeffrey how much I like doing this.
Ms. KAFKA: I think there's always something that you can chip away at and open up more about. And so there's always something to be learned if you're open enough to it.
HANSEN: So, the scene that youre doing all these different improvisations and different ways of doing the scene, your film is already done, it's in the can, it's being seen. I have to ask, I mean, if you watch yourselves doing this scene now, are you going to be thinking about it differently?
Mr. DOUBEK: What do you think?
Ms. KAFKA: In film, you do so many different takes of one scene and then when you see the movie, you don't know what the director and the editor have chosen. So, a performance is constantly being made. It's interesting. It's like you give birth to this baby and it grows up and goes out into the world and people are able to experience it, but at the same time it's not dead to you. You know, it continues to go on and then people analyze it and say what they got from it.
HANSEN: Of course, before audiences can analyze and scrutinize, they have to see the film, and not every movie is lucky enough to wind up on the Independent Film Channel. But there are other avenues opening online that weren't available even a few years ago.
That was a hot topic at the South by Southwest Film Festival this year. Representatives from Criterion, the Independent Film Channel and YouTube led a discussion in front of a packed room at the Austin Convention Center. Sara Pollack said that YouTube is starting a rental service. It put up a few films from last year's and this year's Sundance Film Festival.
Ms. SARA POLLACK (YouTube): And there was some backlash of the very vocal users who visit the homepage saying, you know, YouTube's supposed to be free, why do I have to pay for this, yadda, yadda, yadda. And it's something we'll have to deal with.
And what was interesting was, like, the one thing that kind of stopped those comments was when a bunch of a filmmakers kind of got on, got back into the comments and explained, you're asking why we would do this, why would YouTube do this? We're doing this because we made a film. We want people to see it. Like, we're in a crisis as an industry and people aren't watching our work and this is us trying to get you our film. And when you spend that $3.99, most of it's coming to us.
HANSEN: YouTube will keep a percentage of the profits, Pollack said.
The new business model could hold a lot of promise for films like "Lovers of Hate" and the 4,000 other films submitted to the festival this year. But Pollack says just merely posting a film online doesn't automatically equal success.
Ms. POLLACK: I feel there's sometimes an expectation that if you put something online and just leave it there people will discover it, 'cause isn't that what online is all about? And it's not. And this is the place where theatrical and online are actually quite similar.
HANSEN: In other words, filmmakers will still need to generate good old-fashioned buzz.
And for anyone worried that online will kill the movie theater experience, rest easy. The panel agreed that people will always want to go to the movies.

Paul Trost
Paul Gerhardt Trost is a North American painter and craftsman who draws inspiration from spiritual, biblical and natural influences. A lifelong artist, Trost enrolled in a drawing course at the Chicago Art Institute when he was 12 years old. He decided to pursue his passion for painting after three years of study at the University of Michigan. He earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the San Francisco Art Institute in 1992.
Trost's painting "Blessed are the Merciful" received an award of distinction from the National Catholic Reporter. His paintings are present in homes and churches throughout the United States. Trost works with oil, acrylic, and mixed media in natural light. His work is inspired by both Western and Eastern elements.
Trost prefers not to use models and photographs. Rather, his paintings are inspired by life and nature and drawn from introspection, intuition, and imagination. Through his art, Trost seeks to convey the reality of hope and the beauty, wonder and mystery of life in the face of the world's contradictions. As a craftsman, Trost hand-carves icons and crosses for churches and private collections. He lives in Sheboygan, Wisconsin with his wife Shelly McClain.

Voyeur : August 2012
picnicking, swimming and fishing. Shy freshwater crocodiles stay away from areas frequented by people and aren't known to have attacked anyone. The lake is stocked with barramundi and is the scene of the annual Lake Moondarra Fishing Classic (26 to 28 October this year; www.lakemoondarrafishingclassic.com. au), a fast-growing visitor attraction, second only to Mount Isa's famous rodeo. saddle up The Xstrata Mount Isa Rotary Rodeo (10 to 12 August; www.isarodeo.com.au) attracts about 50,000 people. A carnival atmosphere envelops the CBD: down at Buchanan Park, sideshows include Fred Brophy's famed boxing tent and a fun fair. Entertainers this year are led by Nashville-based Australian country music singer Shea Fisher, but it's the rodeo itself that is the main event. Wildly bucking horses lunge from chutes on one side of the arena. Cowboys — some work on stations, others are miners — compete at riding bucking broncos, wrestling steers and performing rope tricks. Rodeo crowd-pleasers also include events featuring bulls. David Kennedy, winner for the past two years running, is again in the line-up. "Bulls are tough and determined," the 27-year-old shed builder concedes. "I've been fascinated by them since I was a kid." When Kennedy is in the dirt arena, surrounded by a rectangle of stands, the crowd's excitement is palpable. In bull-riding, humans attempt to stay mounted while snorting beasts do their best to throw them off. Clowns are critical — and some are no joke. Rodeo organiser Patricia Esdaile explains: "Rodeos have two types of clowns. One sort, typically in circus-type outfits, entertains spectators. The other is tasked with the serious business of protecting riders. Some of these wear clown outfits but most prefer protective gear. They're also called bullfighters. When a bull throws a rider off, its next action is usually to try to gore. Bullfighters, working in teams of three or four, try to prevent this. They distract the bulls, while riders are moved to safety." Bullfighter Darryl Chong, a 27-year-old who operates mine machinery for a living but takes part in many local rodeos in his spare time, agrees: "You're positioning yourself to be in a good place to help. You block out the scary parts. We definitely put our bodies on the line." Bright lights On a stroll with former miner Bill Bawden, who was drawn to Mount Isa as a footballer but is still calling it home 44 years later, I'm immediately made aware of an unexpected cosmopolitanism. I learn that Filipinos form half the Catholic church's regulars. I meet waitresses with strong French and Irish accents (and waiters at the All Seasons Mt Isa Verona Hotel, though gossiping in English, are French and Spanish backpackers). The aptly named Red Earth Restaurant's Indian curry nights are immensely popular. A delicatessen prides itself on its South African fare. Ethiopians run an in-vogue eatery. British miners hoist Guinness pints at the Irish Club. Home to only 23,000 people, Mount Isa — with an urban sprawl covering 43,310 square kilometres — is Australia's second- biggest city after Kalgoorlie-Boulder when measured in land-area terms. What's more, it's a sports-crazy town. "Remember, Greg Norman and Pat Rafter were both born here," Bawden reminds me. Rodeo action seems a world away as I sit on a hilltop overlooking placid Lake Moondarra at sunset. I have it almost to myself, bar the kangaroos hopping in the distance. Tranquillity comes as a total surprise in a town where machine-driven industrial bustle is the norm. In less than a week, I've hovered above Mount Isa's mine-oriented activities and trod beneath the outback's red earth. Lake Moondarra's silence is a striking contrast, a reminder of the encompassing desert that surrounds this lively lone outpost.

Jonathan Fraser
Senior Associate
This week, we interview Jonathan Fraser, Senior Associate at Fahrenheit 212.
What do you do at Fahrenheit 212?
I'm a Senior Associate in Idea Development at the London office. My role is broadly a mix of insight gathering and inventing. Depending on where we are in a project, my day-to-day work can vary from following consumers around to coming up with a bunch of new ideas.
When do you feel most creative?
When the heat is on! I find a bit of pressure is really helpful in pushing me to be inventive. I kind of wish this wasn't the case, as it does mean my best stuff can come a little closer to the deadline than I would prefer.
Do you have any rituals for the innovation process?
My morning cup of tea is my daily ritual, but it stems more from practicality than ceremony. Innovation without caffeine is literally impossible (and I assert that that is not a misuse of literally.)
Where do you call home?
I'm a northerner by birth– my hometown is near Liverpool. But I've been living amongst southerners for several years now, and feel like they have accepted me as one of their own.
What do you never leave home without?
I never leave home without a grappling hook, because it's incredibly useful in everyday situations that require a grappling hook.
When did you first get into the field of innovation?
I've been in Innovation Consulting for 3 years. However, I've always been motivated to invent new solutions to problems, which is why I chose engineering as my undergraduate degree. However, solving for just the technical side of things didn't cut it for me – I wanted to invent the bigger vision. So I took a pivot several years back and pursued a Masters in Innovation, which set me on the course I'm on today.
What innovation are you most proud of?
In the run up to the London 2012 Olympics I worked on a project to help create an immersive experience for their Olympic pavilion. It was a particularly rewarding experience as it was part of an incredibly exciting event, and I saw it come to reality very quickly.
What is your go-to reading source?
I am a heavy podcast user, so I get most of my information via audio (it's much easier to consume when you're crammed into a London tube). A couple of regulars I would recommend are 'the A16Z podcast' for tech and business, or '99% Invisible' for art and design. I can read as well though – it says so on my CV.
What is your favorite innovation in the last decade?
As a bit of a tech nerd, I am big fan of smart devices, even if the dream of the 'internet of things' hasn't quite been realized yet. The standout success for me is the Nest thermostat – I have one at home and really like it. I think it's the benchmark for connected devices, because it solves a real pain point with fantastic user experience and design.
What is the best advice you've received at Fahrenheit 212?
I think the most important thing I've learned from my colleagues is the importance of story telling when sharing ideas. A great idea can completely die when you explain it to other people, unless you have a compelling narrative to shape it. So it's really important when you're wrestling with the details, to take a pause and ask yourself 'what's the bigger picture?'
Do you have any side projects, hobbies, or a previous life you would like to share?
I have a slightly unusual start-up side-business with a few other Royal College of Art graduates: we make food products made from edible insects. Insects are very healthy and sustainable source of protein, but are generally considered disgusting in most western countries. Our brand: 'Ento' aims to overcome that taboo by making delicious insect foods that look as good as they taste. For example: our 'honey caterpillar croquettes' look just like normal foods and have a subtle, nutty flavour. We've had some great successes so far – our team recently hosted a pop up restaurant in partnership Grey Goose vodka for instance – but we are still wrangling with some of the supply chain challenges of working with a completely new ingredient. Watch this space for Ento products in the supermarket!

Great piece of workmanship!
This was our first order from O.co and we couldn't be more pleased and impressed. The rug is exactly as described, the colors and aesthetics even more vibrant than portrayed on the web page, and the workmanship is outstanding, a perfect complement to our hardwood floor and antique dining room table. Shipping was flawless, too, arriving when and as promised.

Designers' Finest is a new special collection comprising modern wardrobe classics with a high degree of fashion and extra fine qualities. Starting from their own needs and the thought "for women – by women", KappAhl's design team has produced their own versions of key garment that should be found in every woman's wardrobe in autumn 2011.
This autumn, Designers' Finest will be launched; a new women's collection where KappAhl's own fashion designers have been given free rein to come up their own personal favourites. The collection offers scrupulously tailored garments with a high degree of fashion and comprises some 20 garments and matching accessories.
The collection has been produced in a limited edition, focusing on exclusive materials in a somewhat higher price range than KappAhl's other ranges. The theme is a timeless style where wearing the clothes season after season is possible, influenced by the minimalism of our times with simple classics in stripped down forms.
"The collection aims to give KappAhl's present customers a wider choice, while at the same time we welcome a new fashion-interested woman into KappAhl. Important elements for the Designers' Finest customer are quality, design, and clothing that can be worn for several seasons yet remains modern over time," says Carina Johansson, Design Manager.
KappAhl's designers have created the garments starting from their own desires and with the thought "for women by women". The idea behind the collection is that all garments can be combined with each other, either worn separately or alternatively layer on layer, thereby keeping the colours and silhouettes in a coherent and uniform whole.

What would summer be like without jam bands, music festivals or hippie crack? Actually it would be pretty enjoyable. Not sure if I just got older but there was a moment, back when I used to go to jam bands a lot, and the druggie-ness of it all became apparent and it was like when did this happen? It was probably there all along, but man it was an eye-opener.
And from the sounds of it, selling hippie crack, aka nitrous oxide, is big business for some people.

Most of us are in a constant struggle to lose that extra flab around our belly. Hours of exercise go into sculpting the perfect hourglass shape and a flat stomach; but how many of us are successful? Interestingly, according to many nutritionists, the answer to all this struggle lies in our very own kitchen — everyday ingredients when consumed regularly can help cut down those extra tires, resulting in a mid-riff you'd be proud of. Here are 10 of the ingredients that will help melt the fat immediately.
Tomatoes: It doesn't matter if you pronounce it to-may-to or to-mah-to, as long as you have them in your diet. Tomatoes have a compound called 9-oxo-octadecadienoic, or 9-oxo-ODA, which helps in the circulation of lipids in the blood resulting in reduction of abdominal fat. Tomato helps control dyslipidemia, a condition that is responsible for fat accumulation in the abdomen.
Apple cider vinegar: A great ingredient to add some zing to your food, apple cider vinegar also attacks that extra flab in your belly. Drinking it before meals can help in weight loss. Apples are a great source of pectin, which makes you feel full and satisfied, thus, cutting down extra eating.
Mint: Mint has a twofold impact — it cuts down the fat by removing extra bile from your gall bladder. This is important because bile helps your body in processing and storing fat. Mint is also a good source of antioxidants that help improve your body's metabolic rate, thus, help you lose fat.
Aloe vera juice: Aloe vera juice is known to be very effective in reducing abdominal fat. It's also a laxative, which additionally helps in weight loss. Opt for the fibrous version of the juice.
Lemon juice: Lemons are an integral part of Indian cuisine, which makes it readily available in most kitchens. This secret ingredient works wonders in cutting through the layers of stubborn belly fat. Begin your day with a glass of water mixed with lemon juice (about half a lemon would do, or three-fourths) and half a teaspoon of honey.
Watermelon: It has 91 per cent water — that should be self-explanatory. Eating a couple of pieces of watermelon before your meal helps in filling up your stomach, without adding a substantial amount of calories. It also helps combat water retention.
Cucumber: Love your salads? You'll love them even more now. Cucumber, like watermelon, has a high water content and 100g of cucumber just adds about 45 calories to your body. They're also incredibly refreshing, making them a great snack as well. See that paunch disappearing within weeks while munching on fresh cucumbers.
Ginger tea: Simply adding ginger to your cup of tea can make a world of a difference to your belly fat. Ginger increases the overall body temperature, which helps burn fat more effectively.
Garlic: Garlic is a thermogenic food, just like ginger, which makes it an excellent ingredient to incorporate in your diet if you're trying to lose weight, and especially tackle that stubborn belly fat. According to studies, garlic hinders the accumulation of fat in the body.
Beans: Did you know those boring green beans can do wonders to help reduce body fat? Not only that, they help build muscle and since they're a rich source of fibre, they also improve the digestion process. Like apples, green beans also have a high level of pectin that help you feel full for a longer time. Doesn't sound so boring now, does it?

I've been recording, editing, mixing and producing music, podcasts and more for over fifteen years and would love to work with you, and help make your life easier.
Rather than go it alone, it's important to ask yourself -
1) Do I want my music or podcasts to sound great?
2) Do I want to save time and in turn, money?
3) Is it important to step away from what I'm creating to have another set of ears listening? (forest for the trees type of deal)
If you answered yes to any of those questions, I think we should work together!
I'd love to work with you! Drop me an email below.
Podcast Editor Extraordinaire
I'll help you get your podcast edited and more importantly, sounding great.
The quality of sound of your podcast is so important, and many will judge your podcast in the first 15-30 seconds. I can help you make your podcast sound incredible, and have it edited in a smooth and natural way.

I use Pro Tools, plugins, and high end outboard gear when necessary to make your podcast shine! But not only will your podcast sound great, it'll also have amazing show notes, in the format of your choosing.

One of my favorite things about summer is that I get to whip out my sarongs (or pareus, as the Hawaiians call them) and use them as a cover-up at the beach. I had completely forgotten that last summer when we were in the Caribbean, I had planned to do a bunch of tutorial posts showing how to tie a sarong. Thankfully, I've rediscovered the photos with two full months of summer left—just in time for you to make use of them! Over the next few weeks, I'll be showing you four different (and super easy!) ways to tie your sarong into a beach wrap that's so cute, you could totally pass it off for a dress. This week, here's how to tie a sarong, halter style.

- Questions (0)
Hammock Frame
Delivered on time; easy to put together and fab to use!
I can now use my hammock!
Overall experience was fab - ordered goods Thursday evening and it arrived Saturday late morning. The frame was slightly short for the hammock but tied a couple of knots in the hammock and all is good. Was tentative getting into hammock for first time but frame holds true so it does exactly what it should do.
Hammock frame
Came in good time easy to fit together
Perfect for lazing in a sunny afternoon
The hammock stand is very easy to put together and once up very sturdy. I was concerned with The hooks at either end of the frame that support the hammock but they are very strong and support the hammock with no problems. The frame supports my 6 year daughter and myself and combined we weigh just under 100kg. Really pleased with the stand and have spent many hours lazing in the garden with a book.
Great hammock frame
The item arrived quickly, easy to put up. My 2 girls have been using it a lot lately. My hammock (almost 4m)is too big for the frame. But I guess it's not the standard size. We have done few knots on each side and that does the job. I'm happy we my purchase .

East Detroit boys soccer progressing under new coach
By Jason Carmel Davis
Posted September 18, 2013
East Detroit High boys soccer coach Chris Lohrmann took over the team — with just two seniors and a small roster — in late August.
The East Detroit coach, whose team had a mark of 0-2-0, 0-2-0 Macomb Area Conference Silver Division at press time, said the young team has performed admirably.
"They're picking things up," Lohrmann said. "I have several kids who have never played before, but they're learning quite fast. I think we'll be all right."
One of those first-year soccer players is senior sweeper Brian Finn, who said he can tell Lohrmann wants to build a program that can sustain success.
"I'm new to the sport, and I think Coach is great," said Finn, one of three captains on the team. "We're picking up a lot of new techniques and skills, and he's teaching the young guys pretty well."
Lohrmann said he made Finn a captain — along with junior midfielder William Dyrval and sophomore midfielder Bryan Bieniewicz — because the senior is well respected among his teammates. The Shamrocks' coach called Finn a natural leader, adding the senior sweeper is very vocal and is picking the game up pretty quickly.
Lohrmann said he's been teaching the basics over the few weeks he's been at the helm. He said he believes even the most skilled, experienced team should always work on the basics because they're a big part of the game.
"It's always good to revisit trapping and ball-movement drills," Lohrmann said. "Just over the last couple of weeks, the team has done a complete 180. They've really surprised me with how fast they're picking things up. I think that as we go along, they'll keep getting better."
Dyrval said picking the game up quickly is vital if East Detroit hopes to have a solid season. The Shamrocks had a respectable mark of 7-8-1, 4-7-1 MAC Silver in 2012. That came after East Detroit won 10 games total from 2009-11.
"You have to be able to adapt, and I'm glad we're picking things up so quickly," Dyrval said. "Hopefully, we can get some players to come out and try and build on what we're doing."
Bieniewicz said the skills the Shamrocks are building now will pay dividends once the 2013 Michigan High School Athletic Association state playoffs begin Oct. 14.
Lohrmann hasn't thought that far ahead yet. He said he just wants his players to focus on playing hard and giving 100 percent effort each game and practice.
"You want to win — everybody wants to win," Lohrmann said. "But losing is a part of the sport, and that's where you learn from your mistakes. I want them to take what they learn in the games they play and put that to use in the future so they aren't making the same mistakes each game."
The Shamrocks next hit the field for a matchup against Marysville High, set for 4 p.m. Sept. 18 at Forest Park Elementary in Eastpointe.

I love dragons. Not just your ordinary dragon. I own a dragon named Bodacious. He is about 4 feet tall and positions himself as the protector of my house. He is red, and his scales are sequins. When Lucy comes over for our student organization meetings, she sits on him like a rocking horse. Why personify this stuffed creature? I use my imagination.
When we use our imagination, we tap into a part of the human spirit that creates and innovates in a way that does not happen in our everyday life. For those of us who took Sociology 101, we probably remember one of the old school theorists, Charles Mills. In 1959, he framed sociological imagination. His premise was to explain how people are able to break out of the social boxes that case social reproduction like poverty. How do we account for people who get past their circumstances and are overcomers?
You cannot be an overcomer if you are still in the place you are in now. You have to be willing to imagine yourself around the corner. Maya Angelou said, "My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style."
We have to create ourselves anew each day. We have to push each day to be further away from the person we were yesterday.
If our lives were a conversation, it would be best to argue in that dialectic because that is where we would grow the most. The push and pull of the former us with the future us is the plight of our humanity. In that plight is the opportunity to dream a better dream for ourselves. We also need to surround ourselves with friends who are our champion and see the best of who we are.
There is an old saying that says "we are the company that we keep." This is a true statement. To be the best we can be, we must live in concert with the people who help to make us better. Your inner circle should be diverse and dynamic. They will laugh and cry with you. Trust your crazy ideas and you will be equipped to help you figure them out when the opportunity comes.
I definitely know that all my best friends are crazy, but they also are baby geniuses.
To use your imagination is better than using any drug. The power of our own minds can reshape our futures and outline our fates. I personally like to use my imagination to make people laugh.
I posed a ridiculous request to my sister, Kathryn.
I convinced my big sister to make me a tutu. That is right, I said it. I am not a ballerina, nor do I want to be, but this tutu will be magical, made with my sister's love and designed to be a spectacle. Every day is an opportunity to tap into the fabric of our collective spirit that allows for all of us to dream a bigger dream. Sometimes that dream needs to start with a tutu.

What you should consider for commercial and residential Greek Property for sale Real estate investment is something that everyone wishes for because of its present and long term benefits. With the ever growing demand in housing and trade apartments, everyone is looking this way. Both investors and clients in real estate industry have high anticipation of what may come next and so it seem like the trend is just on the onset. Whether you are a client or investor in real estate, it is important that you learn of what to consider when investing in this field. There are two main categories of investments that you may align with; commercial property and residential property. Residential Greek Property for sale The residential property in real estate entails the housing sector. This is where people invest in housing units that provide shelter for people. It is most common in urban centers where the concept is largely practiced. You may be a real estate developer whereby you invest your money in this business of building residential house hold units, or just a client who looks to purchase the house hold units from investors. Whatever side you fall between the two, it makes much sense to study main factors that directly affect this industry. Main factors that affect the residential units in Greek Property for sale is the influx of people. This goes into demand and supply factors. When there are too many people in need of particular household units there will always be a hike in the rental fees. Same way, if there are fewer persons searching for residential house units then there will always be negotiable rental prices, since there are compromises all through. Before you check on what residential unit to invest in, ensure you study the locality around. For instance, there have to be tight security and assurance with the supply of power and water services. If there are issues with the two aspects then definitely your housing demand will lower, hence less profit turnout in the end. Also check on the communication facilities such as roads and access to main facilities. As it happens in urban areas, where proximity to main roads and social amenities drives high the housing sector, it also happens in all other places across the globe. You therefore need to conduct proper assessment into any residential property in this regard before you invest your money in it. Commercial Greek Property for sale. Commercial property is a housing unit that provides housing to businesses and commercial activities. This includes offices, showrooms, display centers and any other such facility that offers anything else which is not part of private housing. With commercial property you must consider its proximity to main roads and road feeder channels. You also want to check on security since you may want to invest in expensive equipment with your business. One has to check on stability of the locality with regard to natural disasters and help facilities such as fire centers. All these factors have to be considered before one even settles down for negotiations on commercial properties for sale.

Empowering Atlanta Event Hosted By Prince Carter
I had the pleasure of attending the Empowering Atlanta event hosted by Prince Carter. The event was held at Cupcake Mafia Bakery and Boutique owned by Mz. Skittlez.
I had a couple of events, that day, but only ended up attending this one due to me running late.
Honestly, I was feeling a little discouraged about some things going on in my life. My blog, upcoming business adventures and my weight struggles and was looking for some encouragement.
Once I got there, I got a chance to look around the Cupcake Mafia Store. I had always admired Mz. Skittlez via social media and it was nice to see her storefront up close and personal.
The Empowering Atlanta panel included Precious Harris (T.I.'s sister), Nikki Nicole (Kandi Koated Nights), Mz. Skittlez (Author and owner of Cupcake Mafia), Tiara (Love & Hip Hop Atlanta), LaTavia Roberson, Dice (from LaLa's Full Court Life), Julian Lark (Kontrol Magazine), LaKenya Morris (Cutting It In The ATL) and Married To Medicine's newcomer Geniese Shelton.
They kicked off the Empowering Atlanta event by first having a moment of silence for the Orlando victims and then went into the different topics of discussion.
The topics discussed ranged from parenting to social media influence to entrepreneurship success and struggles to their legacy. When I left Empowering Atlanta, I was completely a different person. I had a very different outlook on my life in general and it had me ready to take on the world.
Stay tuned for the rest of my blog posts on the different topics addressed during the Empowering Atlanta event.

El Salvador – Day 3Leave a comment
July 28, 2011 by Chris French
Today we did two congregations: Rosario de la Paz and Olicuilta. We started the morning at the Central church of Christ where we formed our fire brigade line with the people diagonal of you throwing bags of food at you until the food bags made it to the end of the line and the van. We did that 250 times and at the end of the day we only came back with 20 bags! I got to preach at Rosario. I had a good time and the translator assured me the people understood my message. You can watch it on youtube if you wish. While I was preaching our work crew was on installing an addition to the existing roof. It gave them about another 15 feet of shade and a nice porch to sit on.
VBS and the small children were inside so the rest of the congregation was outside. It was a beautiful day and this place had lots of shade so it was, "no problem". We handed out the children's bags and made balloon animals for the kids. I tried my hand at making dogs and enjoyed it even though the thing I make doesn't always come out looking like a dog. We did the balloon animals again at Olicuilta and I handed out a two headed dog to some unsuspecting child. He seemed to be happy with it. Between Rosario and Olicuilta we had lunch on the bus, which consisted of crackers, apples and even some beanie weenies. I didn't partake in the beanie weenie feast, although I'm sure it was good.
When we got to Olicuilta the children for VBS and the rest of the congregation were separated by a large hill. You had to walk down to Olicuilta's building to get to VBS. At the top of the hill there was an open space in a field where we worshipped and one of Waverly's deacons spoke about the power that Jesus has to save. He is mighty to save! Apparently while we were doing all this another segment of our group (those skilled in carpentry) went to a church member's home and did some work for her. Something about flashing and poor construction. After VBS and the Gospel Meeting were over our group at the top of the hill went down the hill to join the VBS crew. While we waited on the work crew to join us we sang a song in English and then one in Spanish. It was a pretty cool routine. I think everyone enjoyed it. After our entire group had reassembled we started our devotional. One of the men from the New Johnsonville congregation spoke about grace. After the devo was over the Olicuilta congregation had a surprise for us. They were giving each family represented on this trip a different picture. The one we received is of a woman walking down a dirt path. On either side of the path is green grass and beautiful trees. See the pictures if you want a better visual. It was an awesome show of love on the Salvadorians part! The children also made the guys in our group foam ties and decorated them. The ladies received foam flowers. Both these gifts were an outward reminder of the love these people have for our group. It was humbling. I sat there thinking about how little we had sacrificed to come on the trip and how little we had brought to help the people. They had gone to the expense of buying about 20 different framed pictures to say thank you to us. What they may not understand is that while we come to bless them God blesses us more than we bless them. To Him be the glory!
Then it was time for supper. We had eaten lunch on the bus on the way to Olicuilta so I think most of us were pretty excited about supper and we even got a special treat! We had the option to go to the "mall" and eat or we could stay at the hotel and eat at the Wendy's, KFC or McDonald's right next door. Both options were appealing for different reasons. I wanted to see this mall and what it had to offer, but I also wanted to go to BED! We opted for the mall and I'm glad we did. We ate at Bennigan's, an Irish restaurant. I got the chicken tenders with honey mustard. You've got to try the honey mustard! It's awesome! I consider myself something of a honey mustard connoisseur and I give this stuff five stars! When we sat down to eat Alex, Jorge's youngest son, broke out his phone and started playing Bob Marley. He's nine! Apparently he loves Bob. He's also a big fan of Michael Jackson, specifically Beat It. He even did some of the dance moves! For some reason Alex started calling Zach Justin Bieber. It's probably the hair. Anyhow, Zach's not a fan of his new nickname, but the rest of us LOVE it! When we left the restaurant we all started shouting and pointing at Zach and ran over to him. Now I'm sitting here wondering what tomorrow holds for us. Pray for open doors. We're planting a lot of good seed. Pray for the soil!

So I'll say it up front - this cake was delicious! I mean, I didn't just tolerate it, I really, really enjoyed it, and it went down very well on the two occasions I served it up to other people. Mary Berry promised that, like all fruit cakes (apparently) it improves with age. Well, we didn't let it get particularly old at all, but I can attest to the fact that on the first day it was tasty but very crumbly, on the second day less crumbly, and by third day, it was slicing perfectly and tasting divine. And on the fourth day it was all gone!
It was, by my standards, an expensive cake though. And a huge one. In fact the fruits alone were far too heavy for OB to make any impact on with his wooden spoon (he resorted to flicking the top layer all over the kitchen), and the whole mix wouldn't fit into my largest tin so I had to make an overspill cake - shame! The recipe called for 12oz of dried apricots as well as cranberries, pineapple and raisins and I think I could have halved the recipe and still made a decent-sized cake. I was particularly nervous as I really, really hate dried apricots and I'm by no means a fan of pineapple either, but in the end, the individual textures and flavours blended together so that there were no unpleasant apricot-filled moments for me to endure.
|Our overspill cake :-)
My only difficulty with it all, as usual, was actually getting the bake right. I don't know whether it's because of my oven or what, but I find it extremely difficult to know when any cake is done, and about the only thing I know for sure is that if the top looks absolutely perfect, then the sides and bottom are going to be a tiny bit burnt. This time was no exception. Beautiful golden-brown top, sides just pulling away from the parchment, skewer (well, butter knife!) coming out clean, fruit at the edges ever-so-slightly singed.
Despite this though, it is with optimism that I consider moving onto the rest of the fruit section. I'm sure that the revolting glace cherry will feature somewhere, but I will endure it! And anyway, I've had a peek at some of the recipes later in the book (many of which I have previously seen massacred by contestants on GBBO) and I've decided that the fruit cake section will be a breeze in comparison!
