Andie and Al, together and individually, speak to audiences about how to break through both intentional and unintentional gender bias in the workplace. Their keynotes draw on their extensive professional and business experience and the benefit of their combined female and male perspectives to provide audiences with realistic, detailed, and readily usable advice. They approach the topic of gender and career success with a blend of compassion, candor, and practicality.
Praise for Andie & Al
- Paula Galbraith Managing Director, Hubbard Galbraith
Andie is exceptionally engaging and very passionate about the subject of gender equality and increasing employment and advancement opportunities for women. I have heard other speakers on the topic, but Andie not only raises the issues, she breaks them down into cause, effect, and potential solutions. Audience members walk away with concrete objectives and practical action plans to help them move forward.
- Dorri McWhorter Chief Executive Officer, YWCA Metropolitan Chicago
Andie's voice stands out among other women's leadership speakers because of her blend of compassion and practicality. She clearly understands the reality of gender bias and offers strategies all women can adopt to reach their career goals. Our group was never more engaged and walked away with many actionable tips.
- Kathleen Callahan Executive Director, Women's Leadership and Mentoring Alliance
Andie's presentation about workplace bias offered new, practical, and effective advice. I felt we were having a personal conversation. I believe everyone else felt the same. I will use what I learned when I next talk about my compensation and career path. She is so generous with her knowledge and time, supporting women at all stages of their careers.
- Leslie Richards-Yellen President Elect of the National Association of Women Lawyers
Andie has had great career success, but always remembers the barriers that so many women face. She never seems to tire or falter in her efforts to help other women advance. Her talks offer guidance that is caring and useful; equally inspiring to a new up-and-comer as to a woman who feels stuck or off track. And her kindness extends beyond race or ethnicity.
- Hon. Jessica A. O'Brien President of the Women's Bar Association of Illinois
Al is an articulate and engaging advocate for women's career advancement. He speaks frankly and insightfully about gender bias and how women can avoid or overcome its discriminatory effects. As a man with a highly successful career, Al brings enormous credibility and a unique perspective to a subject too often discussed only by women with other women.
- "Andie provided practical communication techniques for women to navigate through gender bias and succeed in the workplace and elsewhere." Isabel Harner, Metropolitan Capital Bank
Andie Kramer was featured at Metropolitan Capital's quarterly Women's Empower Hour event on September 21. As a successful lawyer who, for years, has worked to level the playing field and advocate for gender equality, Andie provided practical communication techniques for women to navigate through gender bias and succeed in the workplace and elsewhere. Reflecting many of the messages in her newest book, guests were gifted with their own copies as well. Metropolitan Capital was honored to host Andie and provide clients and friends of the Bank with tools for success. — Isabel Harner, Metropolitan Capital
- Cheryl Procter-Rogers PR strategist and executive coach, A Step Ahead PR Consulting and Coaching
Andie and Al have created the perfect primer to navigate through the treacherous waters of gender bias. This is not a book you read and donate to your neighborhood library! You'll want to keep it handy for its many insights and apply them to the countless scenarios that emerge throughout your personal and professional life. This is the book I wish I had more than 35 years ago when I launched my career in public relations.
- Neelum T. Aggarwal, MD Chief Diversity Officer of American Medical Women's Association; chair of Mentors, Advisors and Peers Committee, Women in Bio (Chicago); associate professor, Departments of Neurological Sciences and Rush Alzheimer's Disease Center
The medical profession is no more free of gender bias than all other professions that make up our economy. From the early stages of training to achieving the attending physician status, bias exists at every level. Thus, I am enthusiastically recommending that women medical students, residents, and fellow colleagues read and re-read Breaking Through Bias.
- Lee Richard Tschanz vice president North America, Sales, Services, and Solutions, Rockwell Automation
Breaking Through Bias serves as a wake-up call for senior business leaders. The book explores common gender stereotypes and discusses the discriminatory bias that results. Based on my own work on culture change over the past five years, I am convinced that bias in the workplace is real. Things aren't equal. I can't allow myself to be satisfied with an environment where female employees have to expend energy combatting bias, so culture change is necessary – but it is slow work. This book offers insights and practical approaches to help women manage the environment as it exists. It is essential reading for modern businesspeople of either gender.
- Dr. Arin Reeves author of One Size Never Fits All: Business Development Strategies for Women (And Most Men) and The Next IQ: The Next Generation of Intelligence for 21st Century Leaders
Andie has worked tirelessly on the advancement of women in workplaces for so many years, and the wisdom and insights from that work are elegantly captured in this book! Breaking Through Bias is a great resource for women navigating the realities of workplace gender bias and the men who want to make their workplaces work better for everyone! Andie and Al's advice is practical without asking women to be something other than who they are, which is why it will also be effective for those who utilize it.
- Jeffrey E. Stone chairman, McDermott Will & Emery LLP
Andie and Al have written an exceptional book – and an important one. It reflects decades of experience in thinking about how to overcome gender bias, and is chock-full of practical and accessible strategies for surmounting the challenges that women – and men – face. It should be read and studied by anyone seeking to win in the worldwide battle for talent.
- Laurel G. Bellows managing principal, The Bellows Law Group, P.C. and past president, American Bar Association
Barriers to gender equality persist. This groundbreaking book encourages talented women to persevere on the road to achieving the success they seek. This book should be mandatory reading for women both at the onset of their careers and on the path to the top of their profession.
- Carol Frohlinger president, Negotiating Women, Inc.
Andie and Al tackle the all-important subject of gender-correlated communication styles in the workplace from a fresh perspective. Combining their own real-life experiences (as a woman and as a man) with solid research, Breaking Through Bias is a highly readable book. Offering both practical advice for women and essential knowledge to the men who want to support them, this is a book to read and to share with others.
- Julie Howard chairman & CEO at Navigant Consulting, Inc.
It is exciting to see the ideas that Andie has been using for so long to personally mentor women now being made available on a broad scale in this terrific book. A great read for any woman who wants to take control of her career and be seen as the smart, capable woman she is.
- Deborah Gillis president & CEO, Catalyst
Change cannot come fast enough in the pursuit of gender equality in the workplace. In Breaking Through Bias, Andie and Al provide strategies that allow women—and men—to create their own change by teaching us to communicate in a way that overcomes biases and stereotypes. This information is invaluable for all professionals looking to accelerate within inclusive workplaces around the globe.
- Jan Schakowsky congresswoman, 9th District of Illinois
Women are more qualified, educated, and prepared for leadership roles in every field—business, law, politics, and technology—than ever before. Yet, well into the 21st century, we still encounter the old barriers of prejudice and gender bias. Breaking Through Bias provides women with hugely impactful tools that can be put to use right now to confront gender issues and, yes, partner with enlightened men to promote our advancement.
- Bethany Harris of the Women's Bar Association of Illinois reviews Breaking Through Bias Women's Bar Association of Illinois
Bethany Harris writes for the Women's Bar Association of Illinois' 2016 Winter Edition, "There are methods for overcoming workplace biases against women, working mothers, and women leaders. In my experience, they're worth learning and implementing. Step One: read Andie and Al's book. They'll take it from there."

My company plays in the manufacturing and automation sectors, which are very male dominant. We have twice hired Andie Kramer at Rockwell Automation to speak and/or do workshops. Andie also did a video on the topic of gender bias for our Sr. VP of Human Resources to use in a series addressing various aspects of inclusion.
I love Andie's presentation of the facts (on which she has done extensive research) surrounding gender bias as well as her suggestions for how to navigate in the world that results. A complete thumbs up from me!

- Booklist Review says "Though it is targeted to women, men who are interested in helping achieve workplace equity have much to gain by reading this guide, as it may open their eyes and give them some tools for challenging bias." Nanette Donohue, Booklist Review
"Attorneys Kramer and Harris draw on their extensive experience in this thoughtful guide to workplace communication. No time is spent debating whether gender bias exists in the workplace; the authors cite the relevant statistics and proceed into their discussion of gender stereotypes and how to combat them. Central to their technique is the expectation that women behave in a manner that is communal, seeking consensus and acceptance; and men behave in a manner that is agentic, seeking success and promotion—but when a woman behaves that way, she's derided as self-serving or aggressive. … Though it is targeted to women, men who are interested in helping achieve workplace equity have much to gain by reading this guide, as it may open their eyes and give them some tools for challenging bias. In addition to providing intelligent guidance, it reminds us all that we have a long way to go when it comes to achieving gender equality in the workplace." — Nanette Donohue, for Booklist Review

- "Andie and Al gave convincing arguments — backed by statistical research — that highlights the quantifiable tendencies that define communications between women and men." Shera Minor, attendee at Women's Forum
I had the pleasure of hearing Andie and her husband, Al, discuss their book, Breaking Through Bias, and how to apply their book to succeed in life. Andie and Al gave convincing arguments — backed by statistical research — that highlights the quantifiable tendencies that define communications between women and men. They were powerful speakers, and their book is great. In addition, Andie's ability to connect to her listeners to offer suggestions and solve real life conflicts from her own personal experience as a successful woman was both encouraging and validating. I would love to hear them speak again.
-Shera Minor, Attendee at Women's Forum
- "This is a very leaning forward, unique message." Staff member, The Boeing Company
"My main take away: women have to change their thinking and get more flexible in their communications styles and approaches. I don't think it is very new, but it was very well articulated by Andie. What I really liked about their duo presentation: that men have a role and by extension organizations have roles in the process. Raising awareness of that and making men understand how they can change things would be great, I believe. This is a very leaning forward, unique message."

Andie and Al, it was so nice to see you again at the recent Navigant Consulting event. As always, you both are inspirational and motivational. Thank you. I have sent along a picture of Baby Keiden (pronounced Kay-den), which in Japanese translates to mean sunshine (my husband is Japanese). The name was inspired by your workshop "Avery's Journey" and your book Breaking Through Bias. After participating in Avery's Journey, I took away the idea of going with a gender neutral name for our baby as a way to combat gender bias in our gender-biased workplaces. See what impact you have on people!

Amador Khetha was a Canaanite military leader and politician in the 16th Century PD.
Biography Edit
Around 1509 PD, General Kheta was part of a military junta that took control of the planet Canaan; however, he soon organized a secret movement to overthrow that junta and put himself in power. He then proclaimed himself to be the "Supreme Chosen One" and settled into absolute rule.
In 1535 PD, the people of Canaan violently overthrew Khetha and his government. He and a small group of supporters hastily fled from the planet, and began seeking support from several Solarian League worlds and the Republic of Haven. However, these endeavours proved useless, so they eventually settled down in Quechua City, the capital city of the Casca System.
In 1539 PD, Khetha agreed to a meeting with Jeremiah Llyn, who was interested in organizing a meeting with the Volsung Mercenaries. However, once the General had revealed the neccessary contact information, Llyn shot and killed Ketha and his entourage. (MA2)

Strelka / Graduation 2013
Russian school explores urbanism through research and collaboration
Forty students from Russia and around the world gathered in Moscow last week to celebrate their graduation from Strelka, a post-graduate school established and funded by a group of trustees dedicated to improving urban environments, and developing Moscow in particular.
In October the students were introduced to the school, the Strelka experience and the four studios, which each focus on different aspects of urban research over the year. This year, the studios covered Another Place: Towards New Patterns of Co(Habitation); Education as a Project: Past, Present and Future of Learning; Foresight in Hindsight: A History of Predictions and (Re)Charge Information: How to Debrief the City.
Students are drawn from a wide range of disciplines, including architecture, design, and programming, with the aim of the diverse group collaborating to build an alternative approach to questions around how cities - and by implication - culture, health, education and other aspects of life should develop.
David Erixon, programming director at Strelka and co-founder of Hyper Island, explained: 'What is fantastic is that Strelka is saying that cities are no longer dictated by great architects. Urbanism is a complex topic where you need to be able to understand lots of different interests. You need to be able to understand culture, architecture, economics... so there's truly multidisciplinary thinking at the heart of it. And what goes with that is that the students have to learn to collaborate: to listen to each other and to work together.
After undertaking field trips to such far flung locations as South Africa, Silicon Valley, Shanghai and Tokyo, the students returned to focus on their individual research projects, with the conclusions published in a research report for each studio and presented in a public exhibition at the end of the year, which Contagious was lucky enough to attend last week.
Each studio is hosted by leading architects and educators: Erixon is joined by Anastassia Smirnova, founder of the SVESMI consultancy, OMA's Reinier de Graaf, Felix Madrazo, co-founder of think tank Supersudaca and writer and designer Brendan McGetrick, amongst others.
Erixon told Contagious: It's a different way of approaching urbanism, where research is at the centre. Strelka's starting point is this is actually a big unknown. So if we want to actually improve quality of life, we need to learn how to understand the unknown. It's based not only on interdisciplinary knowledge, but also research. We have very different studios with very different research, and that's celebrated here. You don't need to beat everyone into the same mould.'
This year, students' research topics spanned such diverse areas as disease, punishment, museums, new ecologies, transportation systems, conservation, mobility, energy, and education and technology.
Dmitry Likin, Strelka trustee and co-owner of architecture bureau Wowhaus, initially saw students coming to Strelka 'thinking more about shape than about function. Of course in any architectural school they are taught that form follows function, but this function could be programmed and reprogrammed, this function has to communicate with the consumer. All these things are obvious things for Western architectural practises. They are absolutely out of discussion in the typical way of Russian architectural study.'
He added: 'Our idealistic model was to make and design architecture, but our target was to create people who can shape the architectural and cultural landscape. But this aim was a trap, in some ways. To deal with the landscape in which Russia exists now, we didn't need proposals, we needed to form client demand. Ideally we wouldn't want to create these architects, we would to create government officials who would actually be enlightened enough to be the client.'
To encourage this Strelka hosts a series of workshops, talks and film screenings in its courtyard, and has a consultancy arm that has been working with Moscow City government to run its Urban Forum. And, Strelka's bar and restuarant overlooking the river, is a common pick in Moscow guidebooks, and a prime place to sit and discuss the city.
The school's aims have developed from training architects to opening up wider discussions and awareness in the city's planners and demand in its population. Linkin explained: 'We wanted to bring in a civilised process into architecture and urban planning in Moscow. In a way we're trying to make it fashionable, and trying to bring transparency to the competition process.'
Erixon said: 'The basic purpose of Strelka is to contribute to the transformation of urbanism in general, but specifically in Russia. Even though this is a small place and we are only taking forty students, the ripple effect is huge. The topic of urbanism wasn't a topic in Russia, full stop. Now everyone is talking about it. These days even the smallest city in Russia is asking what are we going to do with public space? We have a very very big impact on the psyche and the culture, which is incredible.'

Da Vinci, Leonardo
Students of Da Vinci, Leonardo studies need not worry about paying for over-priced textbooks anymore – renting textbooks is an option! Da Vinci, Leonardo textbooks – for example Leonardo da Vinci: The Genius of the Renaissance--His Life in Paintings by [DK Publishing], and Leonardo on Flight by [Domenico Laurenza] – are often some of the most frequently updated books by Publishing companies. The field of Da Vinci, Leonardo is constantly changing, and new editions can come yearly and at a huge cost to students who continually buy new books. So why buy when you can rent cheap textbooks? There are plenty of Da Vinci, Leonardo books to rent – BookRenter has of them all!
Used book sales can be a cheap option as well, but often can be more expensive than textbook rentals. However, there are very few return policies with used books, and especially when taking Da Vinci, Leonardo classes, buying a used book can be dangerous and costly.

Langston Hughes
James Mercer Langston Hughes was an American poet, social activist, novelist, playwright, and columnist. He was one of the earliest innovators of the then-new literary art form called jazz poetry.
Big Boy came
Carrying a mermaid
On his shoulders
And the mermaid
Had her tail
Beneath his arm.
Being a fisher boy,
He'd found a fish
To carry—
Half fish,
Half girl
To marry.

Wonder what T-Mobile has to announce at CES 2011? Well, here is the Motorola CLIQ 2 for you. This mid-range Android phone doesn't have breath taking specs, but its sure unique with the design of its QWERTY keyboard. Instead of standard rectangular or circular buttons, CLIQ 2 has a Honeycomb-like pattern; don't be fooled though, it runs Android 2.2 Froyo, and not 3.0 Honeycomb. It also has the MOTOBLUR interface which offers you different themes, to make it more comfortable for you when you are at home or work for example. MOTOBLUR also backups your personal information (contacts, login info, email and messages) online on a secured server and allows you to wipe the phone if you lose it.
Hardware-wise, MOTOROLA CLIQ 2 offers 4-row side-sliding QWERTY, 3.7" 480x854 display, 1GHz processor, 5MP camera and HSDPA 10.1 Mbps.
It will be available from January 19 with T-Mobile. Currently, there is no information on its pricing and if it will be getting an update to Android 2.3 Gingerbread.
It's coming!

Wilson has a knack for dialogue, on the page and off, stirring up controversy through both his writing and his public appearances. In 1997, he delivered a rabble-rousing speech, "The Ground on Which I Stand," at the Theater Communications Group's annual convention; it reverberated well outside the theater community. In it he called for increased government funding for black-run theaters and took white companies to task for producing what he considered "black" plays. The debate culminated in a public showdown between Wilson and The New Republic's theater critic, Robert Brustein, moderated by playwright Anna Deavere Smith. Though his stance has alienated some audience members and critics, Wilson's not one to back down. For the self-educated author and activist, it's crucial that his plays be directed by African-Americans.
The Hansberry, which first produced Jitney in 1998, now stages The Piano Lesson, a drama set in the '30s about a black family that remains linked to its past by an ornate, 137-year-old piano engraved with figures of the family's slave ancestors. In the drama, Wilson revisits familiar territory: his childhood neighborhood of Pittsburgh's Hill District, where he has set all of his plays except Ma Rainey. The specter of slavery haunts the Charles household, via the family heirloom as well as an actual ghost. When the chance arises to buy the plantation on which his ancestors worked, Boy Willie hatches a plan that entails selling the piano, much to his sister Berniece's dismay. Wilson's lyric, musical writing and his characters' operatic monologues are vital to this spiritual, memorable tale about letting go and moving on.
While his vocal opinions reveal a staunch vision, Wilson contends that he's still a "struggling playwright." In an April 2000 New York Times article titled "Sailing the Stream of Black Culture," Wilson writes, "I'm struggling to get the next play on the page. Eight down and counting. The struggle continues."

The suspensionon 'Aaj ki Awaaz' a daily local news bulletin telecasted through the local cable network by the Papum Pare Deputy Commisioner has been revoked.Good for the denizens of Twin Capital Township of Naharlagun and Itanagar; now they will have access to the information around their neighborhood again. Hope the producer of the programme has become wise enough to ensure compliance of Cable Network Rules, 1994, under whose sections it was banned earlier to prevent another ban on the programme. :)
The DC had few months back suspended the broadcast of the news bulletin which telecast inappropriate news.
'Aaz ki Awaaz' has been renamed as 'Aaz ki Samachar' will start telecasting news from September 1 next.-The Arunachal Times

Ban on Aaj Ki Awaaz revoked
Posted by AG at 4:40 AM
Quite a few months back, the local news programme 'Aaj Ki Awaaz', broadcasted over local cable television network at Itanagar was bannned by district administration for violating section 5, 6(d) and 6(e) of Cable Network Rules, 1994. Now, after little more than two months since the ban on the news programme was imposed, it has been revoked by the Papum Pare District Administration and the programme would be re-aired over local cable network from September, 1st under re-christened name of 'Aaj ki Samachar'.

Fianna Fail to discuss 5pc increase on alcohol sold after midnight
A proposal to be put forward at the Fianna Fail Ard Fheis this weekend will recommend a 5 per cent levy on alcoholic drinks sold after midnight.
The proposal is to be submitted along with various others at the party's annual conference in the RDS this weekend.
"We have serious problems with alcohol in Ireland and we're looking at ways to deal with it," Mayo TD Dara Calleary said. He added that tackling alcohol abuse was part of their broader health policy.
The move comes amid recrudescent dialogue surrounding the amount of alcohol we as a country ingest.
It was announced today at The Alcohol Forum that €1 million has been made available to tackle alcohol abuse in Ireland.
Speaking today, Minister for Health Leo Varadkar said we need to examine ways of tackling the binge-drinking culture that is prevalent in our society.
"Ireland has a serious problem – we drink too much alcohol", Varadkar said.
"When we drink, we tend to binge drink. More than half of adult drinkers in the population are classified as harmful drinkers."
Speaking at the conference, CEO of Alcohol Forum Kieran Doherty, said that over consumption of alcohol "affects the economy, local communities and families across the country and can be directly attributed to around 88 deaths a month."

If you are drinking coffee at the same time you take your thyroid hormone replacement medication, you could be sabotaging your thyroid treatment, and your health.

You may not see a warning on the drug leaflet you get from the pharmacist, and you may not be told this by your physician, but the impact of coffee on absorption of your thyroid medication has been studied and scientifically documented.

A study published in the journal Thyroid found that women who had a high or high-normal Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) levels, and who took their thyroid medication with coffee, had substantial lowering of the medicine's absorption and impact -- reducing the effectiveness of the medication by as much as 36%. That's like cutting your dose by one-third, or forgetting to take your pill one out of every three days.

WHAT IS THE IMPACT ON YOUR BODY?

When absorption of your medication is impaired, your TSH will rise, levels of T4 and T3 (the active thyroid hormones) will drop, and you will likely experience hypothyroidism symptoms, such as fatigue, weight gain, mood changes, and more. For a detailed list of hypothyroidism symptoms, see the Hypothyroidism Symptoms Checklist.

WHAT CAN YOU DO? FOUR POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS

There are four things you can do to manage the possible interactions between coffee and your thyroid medication:

This impaired absorption was not seen in women who took their medication with water and waited an hour before drinking coffee. So you can take your medication, and then wait an hour before having your coffee.

If you regularly awake in the middle of the night, you can take your medication, and go back to bed. As long as it's at least an hour, that will allow you to have coffee when you awake.

If your doctor agrees, you may be able to take your thyroid medication at bedtime, instead of the morning.

If you are on a levothyroxine tablet (like Synthroid or Levoxyl), you can switch to the liquid capsule form (Tirosint). Studies have shown that coffee does not affect the absorption of Tirosint -- essentially, Tirosint is "coffee-resistant." Tirosint is designed for patients with allergies, digestive issues, and absorption problems.

Note: The caffeine content of the coffee does not have an effect -- it's components of the coffee (caffeinated or decaf) that affects absorption. So switching to decaffeinated coffee is not a solution.

On their official, state-run YouTube channel, North Korea recently posted a video of a female traffic cop who was awarded the state's highest honor.
The cop, upon receiving the medal called 'the Hero of the Republic', broke out in tears. The award which was given to her is typically reserved for military achievements or for nuclear scientists.
Ri Kyong Sim, the traffic girl was apparently awarded for "safeguarding the security of the headquarters of the revolution in an unexpected circumstance."
There has been a lot of buzz in the international media regarding what it was exactly that the girl 'safeguarded.' Some suggest that she saved the country's leader Kim Jong Un from being shot. But a North Korean news organization, New Focus International, cited that its sources in Pyongyang revealed that Ri Kyong Sim actually received the honor for putting out a fire that broke out near a propaganda poster, featuring Kim Jong Un.
According to North Korea:
Infinitely faithful to the Party and the leader, she [Ri Kyong Sim] carried out her duty to the best of her ability, contributing to the traffic safety in the capital city; she is a laudable traffic officer and a true daughter of the Party , who at an unexpected moment displayed a heroic self-sacrificing spirit of defending the leader and secured the safety of the brains of our revolution.
This cannot be entirely implausible given the fact that North Korea is infamous for its unusual political propaganda and nuclear threats. The last three months are full of examples when state-owned YouTube channels of North Korea posted videos (mostly propaganda) featuring imaginary invasion of the U.S. and South Korea.
Do you agree that she has been awarded the state's highest honor for saving a Kim Jong Un poster? Is it reasonable? You can share your views in the comments section.

creative nyc photog always looking for like minded models, stylists,
designers and makeup artistes to make dynamite images together.
based in nyc, i use urban settings to create a gritty and
suggestive vibe.
misdirection and illusion are everyday tools of magicians, but i borrow them freely to make pictures! i strive for invisibility, capturing personal moments that exist only in our imaginations. i'm drawn to unexpected genres & i'm an incurable voyeur.
your comments/critiques are welcome, and i'd love to hear from you if there's a pic you think we should make together!
Why do most great pictures look so uncontrived? Why do photographers bother with deception, especially since too often it requires the hardest work of all? The answer is that the deception is necessary if the goal of art is to be reached. Only pictures that look as if they have been easily made can convincingly suggest that BEAUTY is commonplace...
What one has most to work and struggle for in painting is to do the work with a great amount of labour and sweat in such a way that it may afterwards appear, however much it was laboured upon, to have been done almost quickly and almost without any labour, and very easily, although it was not.
an artist lies to reach another kind of truth.

Wood cook stoves are a welcome addition to any kitchen during the cold winter months. Along with being able to prepare food on them, cook stoves are an additional source of heat for the home. Because of their age, antique cook stoves should be checked for cracks, especially if the stove has accidentally been fired too hot. Cracks can leak gases such as carbon dioxide.
Things You'll Need
- Furnace cement
- Gloves
- Safety glasses
- Electric light
- Wire brush
- Spray bottle with water
- Putty knife
Identifying And Fixing Cracks In Wood Cook Stoves
Allow the cook stove to totally cool down.
Close the curtains in the kitchen if there is daylight outside, then take an electric light such as a small lamp without the shade and set it inside the oven. With the light still inside the oven, step back to see if there are any light leaks seeping through the metal walls of the stove.
Shine the light inside the firebox. Look underneath and in back of the stove to see if there is any light leakage.
Use the steel brush to clean the interior surface areas of grease, soot and oils where cracks have been detected.
Spray water on the cleaned surface, then use a small putty knife to start applying the furnace cement over the first crack. Repeat for all other cracks. Allow cement to air-dry before firing up the cook stove.
Tips & Warnings
- Read the instructions on the container of furnace cement for specific drying times before starting a fire in the cook stove.
- If you don't dampen the metal of the stove with the spray bottle of water, the furnace cement will not set properly and will scale off.

Most people go to a chiropractor to treat lower-back pain, whereas only a few go just to sit in a room with another person for a while. Join the many with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options at Bianco Family Chiropractic
- $29 for a 60-minute Swedish massage and a pain consultation (a $185 value)
- $39 for a chiropractic examination and a 60-minute Swedish massage with up to two spinal x-rays (a $244 value)
A massage therapist meets with each client to discuss his or her medical history and particular areas of pain, then tailors the Swedish massage's focus to address these needs. During the chiropractic examination, a physician inspects the spine while answering any questions that the patient may have. Two spinal x-rays may also be taken during this session to give the staff a closer look at the patient's bone structure.

Arx Libertatis is a cross-platform, open source port of Arx Fatalis, a 2002 first-person role-playing game developed by Arkane Studios. Arx Fatalis features crafting, melee and ranged combat, and a unique casting system where the player draws runes in real time to effect the desired spell. The Arx Libertatis source code is based on the publicly released Arx Fatalis sources. This does however not include the game data, so you need to obtain a copy of the original Arx Fatalis or its demo.
Xidel is a command line tool to download Web pages and extract data from them. It can download files over HTTP/S connections, follow redirections, links, or extracted values, and process local files. The data can be extracted using XPath 2.0, XQuery 1.0, and JSONiq expressions, CSS 3 selectors, and custom, pattern-matching templates that are like an annotated version of the processed page. The extracted values can then be exported as plain text/XML/HTML/JSON, or assigned to variables to be used in other extract expressions or be exported to the shell. There is also an online CGI service for testing.
mod_pLua is an Apache HTTP Server 2.x module for developing Web applications with Lua. With mod_pLua, you can use Lua for scripting in two distinct ways; Embedded Lua scripting, <?lua print("Hello, world!") ?>, or plain Lua scripting with a CGI-style interface. mod_pLua precompiles all scripts and caches the compiled binary code so that each new call to the same file will be lightning fast, allowing you to serve hundreds of thousands of requests per minute on any modern server. Mod_pLua supports both the traditional Lua interpreter as well as LuaJIT for both Windows and UNIX platforms. If your Web server supports it, mod_pLua also utilizes APR_DBD and mod_dbd to handle persistent database connections through the dbopen() Lua function.
Felix is a programming language with a fully featured purely functional subsystem embedded in a a traditional Algol-like imperative programming system. The system features garbage collection, static typing, parametric polymorphism, overloading, regular expression matching, and a lot more. A scripting harness is used to invoke source files, but fully compiled binary shared libraries are generated, yielding both rapid prototyping and high performance. Seamless binding of C/C++ code makes interfacing existing libraries easy. Control inversion provides language-level cooperative multi-tasking.
uma::bson is a DOM-style C++ API for reading/writing BSON data. Unlike the MongoDB C++ API, which exposes a read-only interface with a separate interface for creating a BSON representation, this API allows reading/writing on the existing data. The API is designed primarily for serialising/deserialising BSON data to/from streams (files, socket connections, etc.).
OZvm is principally a hardware emulation of the Cambridge Z88 portable computer, a Z80 CPU system with 4Mb addressable memory, a monochrome 640x64 LCD, and RS-232 serial port. It allows you to install any ROM or application card binary that also runs on a real Z88 portable. OZvm is also a versatile Z80 assembler debugging environment with a command line, screen activity recording, and Z80 instruction logging. It assists the developer in testing Z80 assembler programming of the Z88 operating system or 3rd party applications.

The aim of this project is to create a free (open source, OS independent) remake of the classic SSI game Imperialism. While the spirit and many concepts of the original should be preserved, it should not become a pure copy but advance the concept in a sense that modern elements of strategic games are included, e.g. of the Civilization series. The game is written in Java using Swing for the user interface. The philosophy is to keep it as simple as possible, use standard/well tested libraries wherever possible and to demand clean, understandable code.
QtWebSockets is a pure Qt implementation of WebSockets, both client and server. It is implemented as a Qt source code module (.pri file) that can easily be embedded into existing Qt projects. It has no dependencies other than Qt. It features text and binary sockets, frame-based and message-based signals, proxy support, and strict Unicode checking.

We all know how powerful social media can be. We've seen how it could be manipulated as such a dangerous and accessible medium for cyber bullies, such as in the case of Amanda Todd back in 2012 and the Tyler Clementi Case in 2010.
There's more than ample proof that social media can be used to do harm, but it's quite reassuring to see that people can use it for good too.
When a video of Sean O'Brien being bullied for dancing surfaced online earlier this March, writer Cassandra Fairbanks tweeted:
This one tweet started a huge movement that had celebrities like Dita Von Teese, DJ Moby, Tatyana Ali, and Monica Lewinsky come together to raise awareness of cyberbullying, and to celebrate with O'Brien at the Avalon in Hollywood this Saturday.
A Kickstarter campaign raised enough money to fly O'Brien out from London to Los Angeles so he could attend his party, and all the proceeds from the event were donated to anti-bullying campaigns.
"To the Twitter world…Thank you for being interested in making this what it is. So much good in the world we sometimes forget," said O'Brien, according to the LA Times.
Even after the countless cyber bully victim cases, not many changes have been implemented to really prevent incidents like these. Fairbanks took the matter into her own hands and with the help of her Twitter followers, they were able to #finddancingman to throw him an awesome, Hollywood party where he could dance to his heart's content without being judged.
Check out how Sean O'Brien partied at The Avalon Hollywood in style:

This document introduces the City of Bristol's resilience strategy looking forward 50 years to 2066. The strategy provides an ambitious, long term vision for the city that will help it rise to the global and local challenges that it faces. The strategy has been developed as part of the city's participation in the 100 Resilient Cities (100RC) programme.
As the 100RC Strategy Partner to Bristol, Arup provided technical guidance to the city's Chief Resilience Officer, Sarah Toy. We supported her in understanding the city's shocks and stresses and helped develop practical actions that will turn the city's challenges into opportunities. The programme in Bristol engaged over 1,600 people through a series of interviews, workshops and public events.
Bristol's approach to resilience is shaped by the City Resilience Framework (CRF). The CRF was developed in partnership between Arup and The Rockefeller Foundation and has been adopted by 100RC. Bristol is one of 21 cities that Arup is currently supporting on the 100RC programme as Strategy Partners.
Bristol's strategy sets out the long term direction of travel for the city. It reflects the need for change at all scales, starting with individual citizens, through local communities and neighbourhoods to the city as a whole and its place in the wider world. The strategy is underpinned by five visionary pillars that describe the outcomes that the city hopes to achieve.
Supporting each of the above goals, the strategy outlines a range of innovative and disruptive actions to support this vision.

Ripoff Report
Jared The Galleria of Jewelry375 Ghent Road Internet United States of America
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Set the record straight:
Arbitration Program
On April 30, 2011, I opened a credit account with Jared, The Galleria of Jewelry located in Arlington, Texas. With the account opening, I purchased my fiancs wedding band for our July 2 wedding. I received a June 2011 statement for my account. During that time, I paid $78.79 for a $65 balance. On July 20th, 2011, I went into the Jared store located in Austin, Texas (4301 W. William Cannon Drive, Austin, Texas 78749) to have the ring re-sized. During my thirty (30) minute store visit, I was not informed that I had an outstanding balance on my account, nor was I informed that there was an incorrect mailing address within Jareds system. Both my account information and identification were used to access my Jared account to ensure I purchased the warranty for my husbands ring. The service at this location was mediocre to say the least. I was not greeted when I walked into the store as all of the employees were huddled around carrying on their own personal conversations nor was I thanked for going to the store and doing business with them. I decided at that moment I would not be returning to that location despite its close proximity to my residence.
On August 1, 2011, I received a phone call at my place of employment from a Jareds customer representative asking why I had not paid my Jareds account balance for July. I informed the representative that I had not received a July statement, nor had I been informed that my statement balance was past due. The representative determined that the company had the incorrect mailing address for my account and that there would be no late fee associated with the missed payment as it was a company error. The statement amount of $65 was paid at that time. On August 14, 2011, I took my husbands ring to get resized at another Jared location (11047 Pecan Park, Cedar Park, Texas 78613) due to the poor customer service I received at the 4301 W. William Cannon Drive location. I should not have to drive over thirty (30) minutes to another store location to receive the treatment that I deserve as an account holder. I was prompted by the store representative to set up my account online for easier accessibility.
On August 16, 2011, I set up my account on www.jared.com so that I could have my payments automatically deducted from my account. Once accessing my account, I noticed a $51.11 past due charge on my account. I immediately contacted Jareds Customer Service to dispute the charge. I was informed that there are only a set amount of days until the system recognizes that an account has not been paid. Once those days pass, a past due fee is generated. The difference between Junes overage, $13.89 went towards Julys balance of $65. Despite me paying the total balance for Julys charges ($65) and being told by Jareds representative that I would not get a late fee, I am still responsible for paying the $51.11. The $51.11 should be removed from being past due as the account is now current. That charge should have been disposed once the payment was received. Due to the poor customer service and lack of communication between the store and its customer, I no longer desire to do business with Jared or any of its affiliates. I wish to have the $51.11 late fee removed from my account. Once my account is paid off in full, I will close it as I feel my hard earned money and patronage will be appreciated elsewhere. Jared is supposed to have an excellent reputation; however, after conducting minor research on various business complaint sites, I realize that the services received are simply sub-standard in comparison to other major jewelers. I've filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and will be sending a letter to their Corporate office in Ohio.
