Melissa Pelochino
Director of Professional Development, K12 Lab Network
"Smile, you're on candid camera!"
Melissa never could have imagined that a 4-year stint working on the Candid Camera television show could have prepared her for a career in teaching and design thinking but it did. From hitchhiking through a Wendy's drive-through to getting people to participate and finish an acoustic rendition of "I am Woman, Hear Me Roar", the lessons learned from her experiences on the show paved the way for an exciting career working with people.
Melissa has worn many hats in education, all of which have required improvisational skills, trust in herself and her fellow human beings and the acceptance of the unknown. Several visits to her students' homes over the years taught her how to empathize with the students and families she served. This empathy not only helped her to develop deep personal relationships with her students but it also unknowingly created a strong foundation for the design thinking work she would do later on.
In 2007, after watching her husband learn design thinking as a graduate student at Stanford, Melissa jumped at the chance to attend a teacher bootcamp at the d.school. She completed the workshop on a Saturday and by Monday morning had designed her first design challenge for her students. As a Reading Specialist, serving 7th and 8th grade students reading at a 2nd and 3rd grade reading level, Melissa used the design thinking process to help her students solve problems for the characters in the texts they were reading. Melissa got hooked on the process as a vehicle for learning when an argument around what a particular character needed ensued. One side of the class felt strongly that the character in the text needed to love itself before the community would love it and the other side of the class argued that the community needed to love the character before it could love itself. It was at this moment in time when Melissa knew she had found something very special, a process to help students to facilitate their own learning and curiosity and feel confident in themselves as agents of change. Her students' reading scores began to sore and others began to notice and inquire about the process.
As a Dean of Academics for Aspire Public Schools from 2008-2012, Melissa not only helped other teachers to learn the design thinking process but she also began using the process to redesign systems and processes at her school site, specifically focusing on professional development. The opportunity to design, rather than to just teach design, provided Melissa with a whole new understanding and fascination with the process and inspired her to learn even more.
In 2012, Melissa joined the K12 Lab Network at the d.school and quickly transitioned into the Fellowship program to focus on designing new forms of teacher professional development full time. As a fellow, Melissa participated in many professional developments, talked to a variety of stakeholders providing and receiving professional development and identified many opportunities for improvement.
Currently, Melissa is working as the Director of Professional Development for the K12 Lab Network and she is having a blast. She is constantly pinching herself, wondering how she manages to make a living creating and designing experiments around teacher professional development. She is passionate about teaching teachers in the ways we want teachers to teach kids and believes that teacher professional development is the key to redesigning education for students.
She is extremely passionate about the experiments she is working on currently:
d.home team – a network of 11 local schools all learning in experiential ways. Each school is represented by a design team who participates in day-long workshops focused on the mindsets of the design thinking process instead of the process itself. There is no lecture and no "teaching" as it is commonly defined. Instead, learning is facilitated and constructed by the participants as a result of experiential design
2minPD – a concept created during her fellowship, 2minPD leverages teachers to develop eachother. 2minPD is "professional development meets entertainment" and is an answer to the question, "how might we change professional development from feeling less like a chore and more like a gift?" Instructional strategies are crowdsourced from teachers then translated into engaging and humorous 2-minute videos. These videos are pushed out to mobile phones each morning for teachers to watch and enjoy at their leisure. Melissa is currently building a series of videos and is hoping to push out her first set in the new year.

The invention relates to a transdermal therapeutic system for the administration of active substances to the skin with a backing layer remote from the skin, an active substance depot, an active substance delivery control device controlling the delivery of the active substance through the system and a .[.contact.]. .Iadd.pressure sensitive .Iaddend.adhesive fixing means for the therapeutic system to the skin, and to the use thereof.
Such transdermal systems with several active substances depots are e.g. known from P 36 29 404.0, in which one or more isolated active substance depots, which are not interconnected, are arranged in an active substance distribution matrix.
This known arrangement is particularly preferred for solid or very viscous materials, the highly concentrated active substance permeating into the active substance distribution matrix and from there flows onto the optionally .[.contact.]. .Iadd.pressure sensitive .Iaddend.adhesive control membrane.
In the case of flowable active substances or active substance formulations, the active substance is frequently received in bag-like recesses of a matrix or in a bag formed by a controlling membrane or a film. When the active substance reservoir is exhausted, there is a rapid decrease in the internal pressure and of the migration speed of the active substance, too. Another disadvantage of systems with large bag-like units with a fluid active substance formulation is that they are sensitive to pressure and on the system being loaded by pressure, the complete active substance passes uncontrollably out of a burst bag into the active substance distribution matrix and the delivery of the active substance to skin then no longer takes place in controlled form. This is particularly undesired if it is a highly effective active substance, whose overdosing leads to risks.
Another disadvantage of the known systems is that they cannot be subdivided, e.g. for children and adults requiring less active substance different sizes have to be kept in stock.
Finally, in the case of a plaster with a larger liquid reservoir, as a result of gravity action a non-uniform distribution of the liquid occurs, which significantly impairs the uniformity of active substance delivery.
The problem of the present invention is therefore to avoid the aforementioned disadvantages of the prior art and to provide a novel transdermal therapeutic system, which permits more reliable handling, particularly of liquid active substances or active substance formulations.
According to the invention this problem is solved by a transdermal therapeutic system, which is characterized in that the active substance depot is a multichamber system, in which discrete chambers have one or more active substances.
A multichamber system is advantageous, because the distribution of the active substance is better and possibly the cutting off or separating of part of the transdermal therapeutic system does not lead to the flowing or dropping out of the complete active substance formulation. Furthermore, flowable active substance formulations can only move to a limited extent under the action of gravity or pressure, so that even under the influence of gravity a relatively uniform distribution of an active substance-containing liquid can be obtained. If as a result of pressure loading an active substance chamber bursts, the remaining chambers remain undamaged, so that the function of the system is to a certain extent maintained, which is a precautionary measure reducing overdosing risks in the case of highly effective liquid active substances.
An advantageous further development of the inventive concept consists of the individual chambers being at least partly interconnected by channels in such a way that a flow of the chamber content for pressure compensation purposes is possible.
It can be advantageous for the connecting channels between the chambers to have an internal diameter such that they permit the through flow of the active substance fluid only when pressure is applied. This embodiment avoids the bursting of the depot and therefore to the system being made unusable under pressure loading, e.g. on application to animals in veterinary medicine such a pressure distributing means is useful.
It is also possible for the multichamber system to be purely a channel system.
The chambers can in each case have optionally different active substance delivery control means. This embodiment is particularly appropriate if different active substances are used in a system, in which said active substances are to be supplied to the skin with different delivery rates.
The chambers can be arranged in one or more identical or different active substance distribution matrices, which can be superimposed and/or juxtaposed.
An inventive transdermal therapeutic system preferably has an interrupted or uninterrupted .[.contact.]. .Iadd.pressure sensitive .Iaddend.adhesive layer as the fixing means to the skin.
The transdermal therapeutic system can also have one or more .[.contact.]. .Iadd.pressure sensitive .Iaddend.adhesive layers between the backing layer and the fixing device. This is particularly necessary and appropriate if the active substance distribution matrix is not .[.contact.]. .Iadd.pressure sensitive .Iaddend.adhesive and the non-permeable backing layer can only be applied via a further .[.contact.]. .Iadd.pressure sensitive .Iaddend.adhesive layer.
The inventive system is particularly advantageously used with a liquid active substance or substances, or in solution.
In multichamber systems, desired breaking lines can be provided between individual chambers and optionally in the backing layer and other layers. Such desired breaking lines permit a division of the system if a smaller active substance delivery is desired. This can e.g. avoid expensive storage of transdermal systems of different sizes and doses.
The chambers can be arranged at different height levels of the plaster, optionally in different distribution matrixes. The multichamber system can be arranged in a .[.contact.]. .Iadd.pressure sensitive .Iaddend.adhesive active substance distribution and control matrix.
The multichamber system can comprise active substance or active substance solution-filled films with control action, which are permeable for the active substance, optionally also in controlling manner and which are welded together to form a multichamber system.
The inventive therapeutic system can be used for the packing and administration of transcutaneously applicable active substances for human and veterinary medicine, as well as in cosmetics.
The depot can also have inert adjuvants. The term "inert" is here understood to mean that active substance and adjuvant do not react with one another. An "inert" adjuvant can also be a substance having physiological effects, such as e.g. DMSO or the like, which e.g. increases the permeability of the skin. The adjuvants can also be constituted by support materials, which make the active substance depot insensitive with respect to pressure and tension application, as well as carriers.
It is possible to use active substances which can be applied in transdermal manner and typical examples of these ar given below.
hydrocortisone, prednisolone, beclomethasone-proprionate, flumethasone, triamcinolone, triamcinoloneacetonide, fluocinolon, fluocinolin-acetonide, fluocinolon-acetonide-acetate, clobetason-proprionate, etc.
Analgesics, anti-inflammatory agents:
acetaminophen, mefenamic acid, flufenamic acid, diclofenac, diclofenac-sodium-alclofenac, oxyphenbutazone, phenylbutazone, ibuprofen, flurbiprofen, salicyclic acid, 1-menthol, camphor, sulindac-tolmetinsodium, naproxen, fenbufen, etc.
Hypnotically active sedatives:
phenobarbital, amobarbital, cyclobarbital, triazolam, nitrazepam, lorazepam, haloperidol, etc.
fluphenazine, thioridazine, lorazepam, flunitrazepam, .[.chloropromazine.]. .Iadd.chlorpromazine.Iaddend., etc.
pindolol, bufralol, indenolol, nifedipine, lofexidin, nipradinol, bucumolol, etc.

Coronary vasodilators:
nytroglycerol, dipyridamole, erythritol tetranitrate, pentaerythritol tetranitrate, propatyinitrate, etc.
diphenyl hydromine hydrochloride, chlorpheniramine, diphenylimidazole, etc.

doxepin, etc.
Further medicaments/pharmaceuticals:
5-fluorouracil, fentanyl, desmopressin, .[.domperdon.]. .Iadd.domperidon.Iaddend., scopolamine (hydrobromide), peptide, etc.
Obviously this list is not exhaustive.
Advantageously the active substance matrix can be built up in layer form, the layers being the same or different. The active substance matrix can be .[.contact.]. .Iadd.pressure sensitive .Iaddend.adhesive and can e.g. be a rubber material, such as styrene/isoprene/styrene block copolymers, silicone rubber or synthetic resins, such as poly(meth)acrylate, polyurethane, polyvinylether, polyester, etc--a list of suitable matrix materials appearing e.g. in DE-OS 3500 508, to which reference is made. It can be advantageous if the reservoir matrix is .[.contact.]. .Iadd.pressure sensitive .Iaddend.adhesive, because this can obviate the need for providing a separate .[.contact.]. .Iadd.pressure sensitive .Iaddend.adhesive fixing device in the system. The use if such a .[.contact.]. .Iadd.pressure sensitive .Iaddend.adhesive matrix is inter alia dependent on the compatibility of the matrix material with the active substance. .[.contact.]. .Iadd.Pressure sensitive .Iaddend.adhesive matrix materials are known.
Preferred non-.[.contact.]. .Iadd.pressure sensitive .Iaddend.adhesive matrix materials are polymers comprising poly(meth)acrylate, polyvinylpyrrolidone, ethylcellulose, hydroxypropylcellulose, hydroxypropylmethylcellulosephthalate, polyvinylalcohol or copolymers thereof with vinyllaurate or maleic acid, vinylacetate or copolymers thereof with vinyllaurate or maleic acid; polyvinylether, butyl rubber and polycaprolactam.
For example the chambers can also be provided between a back-side reservoir matrix layer and a skin-side reservoir matrix layer.
The backing layer can be constituted by per se known active substance-impermeable materials, such as metal foils, plastic films or laminates thereof, as are well known to the expert.
Further features and advantages can be gathered from the following description of non-limitative embodiments and with reference to the attached drawings, wherein show:
FIG. 1 an inventive therapeutic system in cross-section.
FIG. 2 another inventive system in cross-section.
FIG. 3 another inventive system in cross-section.
FIG. 4 an inventive system with channels in plan view of the system with the backing layer removed.
FIG. 5 another inventive embodiment in plan view of the system with the backing layer removed.
FIG. 6 another embodiment of the invention in cross-section.
FIG. 7 another embodiment of the invention with the backing layer removed and with a channel system.
FIG. 8 an embodiment of an inventive system with a nonplanar channel system in cross-section.
FIG. 9 another transdermal system according to the invention in cross-section.
FIG. 10 an embodiment of the invention in plan view with the backing layer removed and with desired breaking lines.
FIG. 1 shows in cross-section a first preferred embodiment of an inventive plaster-like transdermal system. The system has an active substance-impermeable backing layer 10, such as a metal foil or a plastic film, or a laminate of different materials. Beneath the backing layer 10 is located the active substance distribution matrix 12 formed from a material permeable to the active substance. For example self-cross-linking acrylate copolymers are suitable for such an active substance distribution matrix, which is preferably .[.contact.]. .Iadd.pressure sensitive .Iaddend.adhesive in this embodiment. However, the matrix is dependent on the active substance used. Chambers 14 for the active substance are formed in the matrix and are filled with a liquid active substance, such as a nicotine solution. Between the individual chambers 14, the two active substance layers stick together and thus prevent the free flow of nicotine solution in the entire chamber system 14. The active substance, here nicotine, is dissolved in the matrix and the liberation rate of the transdermal system is inter alia determined by the diffusion rate of the active substance in the active substance matrix. Below the active substance matrix, which here completely surrounds the chambers 14, is applied a .[.contact.]. .Iadd.pressure sensitive .Iaddend.adhesive layer 19, which is suitable for fixing the system to the skin. This .[.contact.]. .Iadd.pressure sensitive .Iaddend.adhesive layer is also permeable for the active substance and can optionally have a controlling action on the active substance delivery to the skin.
FIG. 2 shows a further preferred embodiment of an inventive plaster-like, transdermal therapeutic system in cross-section and in this case different chambers 14', 14 are formed in two different active substance matrixes 12, 12', which can e.g. contain different active substances or different active substance formulations. The two active substance matrices can be chosen in accordance with requirements of the particular active substance delivery speed. The system has an uninterrupted adhesive layer 19 for application to the skin or for fixing the system to the skin, the adhesive also having a certain control effect.
FIG. 3 shows an easy to manufacture inventive embodiment, in which the chambers 14 are formed in a .[.contact.]. .Iadd.pressure sensitive .Iaddend.adhesive active substance matrix 12' adhesion characteristics of which are also adequate for fixing the system to the skin.
FIG. 4 shows another preferred embodiment of an inventive transdermal therapeutic system, in which the active substance chambers 14 are interconnected by channels, so that e.g. in the case of local pressure application to the system the active substance-containing liquid contained in the channel system/chambers 14 can flow for pressure compensation purposes.
FIG. 5 shows an inventive system, in which the multichamber system comprises channels 15 with active substance arranged in lattice-like manner. Here again the backing layer 10 of the system is removed, so that it is possible to see the active substance depots.
FIG. 6 shows an embodiment of the invention, in which the individual adhesive regions 19 are arranged in the active substance matrix 12, in order to fix the system to the skin, whilst the active substance delivery in this case mainly takes place vie the non-adhering or slightly adhering active substance matrix surfaces.
FIG. 7 shows an embodiment with concentric, channel-like chambers 14 and there can also be different active substances in the individual ring channels 14.
FIG. 8 shows another embodiment of a system, which is similar to that of FIG. 3 in that once again a .[.contact.]. .Iadd.pressure sensitive .Iaddend.adhesive active substance matrix is used, in that here a channel system 15, which contains the active substance or a liquid containing the latter is provided. This arrangement is e.g. advantageous if the plaster is exposed to pulling or tension movements, whereby tearing would occur in the case af a flat channel system without a "tension reserve".
FIG. 9 shows a similar arrangement, in which the plaster has an additional .[.contact.]. .Iadd.pressure sensitive .Iaddend.adhesive layer 10 for fixing the system to the skin and optionally additional control of the active substance delivery.
FIG. 10 shows an arrangement with strip-like active substance depots 12. The drawing is a plan view of the inventive system after removal of the backing layer 10. It is possible to see the desired breaking lines 17, which are usable for the random reduction/dose change of the system. This embodiment is also very advantageous for tensile loaded plasters.
In all the embodiments shown in the drawings, baglike foils or films can be provided between the active substance formulation and the matrix for further defining the active substance depots and better bounding the active substance liquid.

With prices falling every time I look for a memory card - I chose to fork out on a branded card for my camera - and even then - it didn't take much money!
With "Kingston" you know that you're getting a well known brand in the world of memory. They make flash memory sticks, to computer memory and even card readers - so it's a brand you can trust in this field.
So when I got my order through the post - the packaging was a hard plastic wrap - you know the kind where you can't take the product out any easy way other than having to use a scissor? - Well it was that packaging (sorry I can't describe it any better than that - but you get the picture :- )
Finally when the product is opened from its shell, the memory card comes in its very own snug hard plastic case - so you can carry it around without doing any damage through pressure in your pocket - or even static. I carry it around with me all the time when doing photography as a spare.
So how about performance? Well it performs very well. Even when I have sequence shots setup on my digital camera, my camera is able to write onto the card without any delay. And it's the same for reading and previewing the images - the images are lightening fast.
I have been using this card for a few months now and have had no problems with it so it comes highly recommended for its performance and also the name tag which is really reliable.

Movie Hype: The Devil's Double
One of the films this summer that isn't receiving the hype it deserves is The Devil's Double, which is based on the true story of Latif Yahia, who was forced to become the body double of Uday Hussein. Saddam's elder son was notoriously psychopathic as depicted in Yahia's multiple books about his years spent with him. The film is coming out July 29th in limited theaters, after premiering at the Sundance Film Festival earlier in the year. Check back here for a review of the film after it is released, and watch the trailer, which should drive you to the theater:

At 369 Ann St, a prominent address in Brisbane's CBD, SUPAWOOD's ALUCLICK beams have helped in the facelift of a tired façade into a contemporary look which brings the building out of the 1980's and takes it into the future.
The designers, Harry Poulos Architects, were given the brief to upgrade the extensive frontage as part of the building's refurbishment. For this a product was sought to break up the bleak use of concrete, that would be long lasting and hard wearing, yet had exceptional aesthetic qualities.
ALUCLICK aluminium beams proved to be the ideal choice.
The building's main entry court has been transformed to provide the ground floor café with an alfresco dining area which wraps around under the staggered portico. Here the ALUCLICK beams have been used to decorate the bases of the columns. Low soffits over the stairs on the corner of the building have been lined underneath with ALUCLICK beams and integrated lighting.
From the entry the ALUCLICK beams, again with integrated lighting, line the underside of the concrete awning which continues from the entry around into Wharf Street. Here the wall along the footpath has also been lined and continue down until they change into an open wall screen to hide the ground floor of the carpark. To add further interest on the wall and screens, the mixed profile ALUCLICK beams have been used and unevenly spaced.
The finish, SUPAMETAL Anodised Commercial Bronze, was chosen to coordinate with the finish on the existing windows. This has then been further enhanced by adding matching highlight paintwork.
The facelift of this building shows how ALUCLICK aluminium beams can be coordinated with and installed over with existing elements to achieve an outstanding transformation economically.

Why do you NEED a car with 585 hp?
Why do you NEED a motorcycle that's capable of going 200 mph?
Why do you NEED a boat with two 455 engines?
Why do you NEED marijuana? Alcohol? Drugs in general?
Why do you NEED anything that's capable of causing an accident, injury or harm?
The fact is we don't NEED any of these things, but in responsible hands, they're not a danger.
The FACTs are that vehicles and swimming pools claim more childrens' lives than guns do. In FACT, they are the number one and number two causes of death for children, firearms being way down the list according to the CDC and Census Bureau.
Now let's look at the deaths that do involve firearms:
FBI murder report by weapon for 2011, Expanded Homicide Data Table 11:
* Total murder victims - 12,664
* total firearms murders - 8,583
* Handguns - 6,220 victims
* Rifles - 323 victims (The so called "assault weapons" are rifles)
* Shotguns - 356 victims
* Knives or cutting instruments - 1,694 victims
* Blunt objects (clubs, hammers, etc.) - 496 victims
* Personal weapons (hands, fists, feet, etc.) - 726 victims
This data tell us that in 2011 a murder victim had:
* 524% more chances to die from a stab wound than from a rifle.
* 225% more chances to die from a punch or a kick than from a rifle.
* 153% more chances to die from a hammer or baseball bat than from a rifle.
* Of all murders 2.25% are committed with a rifle.
* Of all murders 2.81% are committed with a shotgun.
* Of all murders 5.73% are committed with hands, fists or feet.
* Of all murders 13.37% are committed with a knife or cutting instrument.
* Of all murders 49.11% are committed with a hand gun.
Check out the bold print and tell me again why my AR-15 is so special and under attack? Because it LOOKS like a miltary rifle? Because it LOOKS scary?
Look how much more likely you are to die from other causes than you are from an AR-15 and argue THESE statistics...these FACTS.
Now let's look at another subject matter. Many of you are for the legalization of drugs.
"Estimates of the total overall costs of substance abuse in the United States, including productivity and health- and crime-related costs, exceed $600 billion annually. This includes approximately $193 billion for illicit drugs,1 $193 billion for tobacco,2 and $235 billion for alcohol."
Many of you shrug off the alcohol and drug argument when it is brought up in a "we want your guns" debate, and rightfully so. Why would you want to give up your rights, rights that cost more 10 times more Americans' lives than guns ever have?
Alcohol and tobacco are already legal and many of you want to legalize drugs as well. So you're in full support of things which claim and/or destroy more lives than guns because they are things you don't want to give up, despite the danger and the amount of lives they claim.
Do we want to actually have rational discussions or just knee jerk emotional responses without actually taking into account that we're not actually addressing anything by going after a ban on these so-called "assault rifles"?

From a fish pickling Polish immigrant to a businessman with a burgeoning national clientele, Mark Russ Federman's walked an interesting, often difficult path. Russ & Daughters: Reflections and Recipes from the House That Herring Built ($15) spins Federman's personal reflections and heartwarming anecdotes on the growth of his adored New York City appetizer store. Personally acclaimed by the likes of Martha Stewart and Anthony Bourdain, Reflections and Recipes weaves the story of one family's devotion to finned food from its single push-cart origins in 1907 to its present-day state of enshrinement.

*This is a sponsored post. All opinions are my own.
Every night at 7:00 PM we turn off the the television even if we're watching Netflix and whatever other technology product we have running and as a family we read for 30 minutes. The reason we do this is because my son Jason, eight years old, was really struggling with finding an interest in books. He is an advanced reader but simply didn't enjoy sitting down to allow a story to unfold in his mind. It was time for Mom and Dad to throw down some tough love. This week is National Young Reader's Week and I wanted to share some books with you that our children have enjoyed whether reading alone or being read to. These books have also been released in movie form and can be viewed on Netflix!
The Horrid Henry books by Author Francesca Simon are right up Jason's alley. They are about a young boy who is basically a trouble magnet mainly due to his own bad behavior. These books aren't exactly the greatest when it comes to learning a lesson, because Henry never really learns anything, but they are so terribly horrid they will make your child want to come back and read more. The movie Horrid Henry the Movie is available on Netflix and is rated PG.
He also loves The Polar Express by Chris Van Allsburg. Every year he has in some way read this book to us on Thanksgiving. Either we helped him read it or he has been able to read it to us himself. This book about a little boy who needs a very special reminder of what believing means is a Christmas classic that will live on in your heart forever. The movie is a CGI and performance capture production starring Tom Hanks providing the voice work of almost all the characters. It's a visual wonder and you won't want to miss it.
For our five year old Spencer we read a lot of Babar when he was younger. Poor little Babar the elephant loses his mother to a hunter and runs off to the big city. When he returns filled with big city knowledge the King dies and Babar, suddenly the smartest of the elephants, is appointed the new King. As long as you don't look too closely at the Babar stories they are quite cute. Netflix has two different Babar cartoons to choose from in the children's collection.
The Little Engine That Could was recently recreated and stars Jamie Lee Curtis and Whoopi Goldberg. The book was one I would read to Spencer and I teared up each and every time. I'm not sure why I was so sensitive to this specific story but something about putting your mind to a task and making it happens resonates with me. Teaching this to a young child is especially important.
Reading is one of the most important things you can do with your child. Scholastic says that children learn 4,000-12,000 new words every year due to reading. Let's all read with our families at least 3x a week and strive to do so more as often as we can. Be sure one book a month is also a movie so you can watch your story unfold with Netflix streaming. Then pop some popcorn, kick back and enjoy the movie together. Afterwards hold a little Q&A together over some hot cocoa and compare the book to the movie and pick out the similarities and differences. Make it a game and your kids will want to read even more books that are now movies! There are so many possibilities and Netflix Streaming adds new movies all the time.
*I am part of the Netflix #StreamTeam and have received an Apple TV and Netflix account for participating so that I can experience all Netflix has to offer. All opinions are my own.

'I'm scared of you' – Reeva's text to Pistorius
Reeva Steenkamp, the South African model shot dead by Oscar Pistorius, sent a message to the athlete claiming she was "scared" of him less than a month before he killed her.
She complained that Pistorius repeatedly snapped at her, threw "tantrums" and was prone to jealousy, accusing her of flirting with a friend's husband at a party.
In a message on WhatsApp – an instant messaging service – sent to his mobile phone a week before she died, Steenkamp (29) wrote of how she was upset after he shouted at her in public at a sports awards ceremony.
"I can't be attacked by outsiders for dating u AND be attacked by you, the one person I deserve protection from," she said.
The messages paint a picture of an intense and passionate relationship that was blighted by conflicts, seemingly created by Pistorius (27).
They were read out in court on day 14 of his trial for the premeditated murder of Ms Steenkamp, a law graduate and 'FHM' model. He claims he shot at her four times through the locked lavatory door of his Pretoria home believing she was an intruder. Prosecutors contend that he did so after the couple had a row.
Capt Francois Moller, the police expert who retrieved text messages from the couple's iPhones, said he looked at more than 1,000 messages between them of which he estimated 90pc were "normal and loving conversations".
As he heard their last communications read out in court, tears rolled down the sprinter's cheeks. Just feet away, his victim's mother, June Steenkamp, sat stoney-faced.
Pistorius, the court heard, referred to his girlfriend in messages as "Angel" and she to him as "Ozzy" or "Baba".
Ms Steenkamp wrote several times of her frustration about the relationship being a "struggle". She told the athlete: "You make me happy 90pc of the time and I think we are amazing together."
But she also detailed how he picked on her "incessantly". "I'm scared of u sometimes and how u snap at me and of how u will react to me," she wrote.
Pistorius replied that he didn't want "to have anything less than amazing for you and I... I'm sorry for the things I say without thinking and for taking offence to some of your actions".
Steenkamp concluded that she just wanted "to love and be loved" but that she was "certainly very unhappy and sad".
The case continues. (© Daily Telegraph, London)

Second Quarter, 2012
Welcome to the Second Quarter 2012 The Legacy newsletter of the Greater St. Louis Air & Space Museum. During the last few months, the museum has continued to serve the community by being open an additional day, hosting a number of group tours, holding a Spring Fly-In, assisting EAA Chapter 64 with Young Eagle Flights, and supporting events hosted by neighboring airport businesses. The museum has received, or is in the process of acquiring, valuable aerospace collections from local aviators, the St. Louis Science Center, the A. Paul Vance Collection and the F-4 Phantom Society. Two sailplanes were donated by Carol Bell, and plans for their display are underway. Improvements to the gallery and hangar displays continue, with the addition of several pieces of artwork by museum Board Member, Mike Burke. A makeover of the gift shop has begun, and will be completed in the third quarter. Museum docent Paul Neff has begun to refurbish the Wright R3350 engine cutaway demonstrator that will soon join the museum's collection on long term loan, thanks to Phil Bamberger. And most importantly, the museum has gained in membership, ensuring that our legacy will continue to thrive.

This edition will bring you up to date on what has transpired throughout 2011 and the first few months of 2012.

To those who came before, we heartily thank you for your perseverance and courage to lay the foundation for a St. Louis area aviation and space museum. Today, we continue to build upon this foundation a new legacy for generations to come. We can look back on the accomplishments of the past, but we must also look ahead to the challenges of the future. So climb aboard, fasten your safety harness, and push the throttle forward into the promise of tomorrow.

Sergeant Farley was shot and killed while transporting two suspects to police headquarters for questioning. Sergeant Farley had been conducting surveillance of a suspicious vehicle on South State Street after receiving information that it belonged to a robbery suspect. He stopped a man and woman who approached the car and began to question them. He handcuffed the male suspect in front and was going to take them to the police station in his patrol car but the car broke down. He instead drove the suspect's vehicle. During the ride to the station the man produced a .38 caliber handgun from his front coat pocket and shot Sergeant Farley in the side.
The suspect fled the scene and was apprehended a short time later hiding in a locker. The man was convicted of the murder and executed by firing squad at the Utah State Prison on July 1, 1955.
Sergeant Farley had been with the agency for ten years.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2 (UPI) -- If New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie enters the GOP presidential primary, it could be a boon to Texas Gov. Rick Perry's campaign, a political analyst said Sunday.
Christie, a Republican, hasn't officially entered the race, but if he did, it would cause a stir in the field of GOP candidates, said Mark Penn, chief campaign strategist for Hillary Clinton during her bid for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination.
"Well, (Christie) getting in would be Romney's worst nightmare. To have two Northeastern governors splitting the Northeastern governor's vote is a big gift to Rick Perry at a time he needs a gift. So I know what the people in the race are thinking right now. One's saying, 'How do we keep him out?' The other's saying, 'How do we get him in?'" Penn said on ABC's "This Week."
Matt Katz, who writes the Christie Chronicles blog for the Philadelphia Inquirer, said the latest he heard from Christie's camp is the governor does not plan to run for president despite conflicting reports all week.
"It's been a wild week on the Christie beat, and it's gone back and forth. There's been no active preparations. But the line is still that he's reconsidering. Whether that means he's actually reconsidering or it's just good for business, we don't know," Katz said.

Picture: Miley Cyrus arriving at MTV Studios for her appearance on TRL New York City, USA - 18.06.08
MTV soap star WOLE PARKS has pleaded not guilty to a string of charges after he was involved in a car crash on Sunday (22JAN06), which left a 25-year-old New York student dead.
Parks, a star of MTV's UNDRESSED show, was been charged with fatally striking HANNAH ENGLE with his vehicle and then fleeing the scene.
The 23-year-old has a previous drink-driving conviction and a suspended license. An officer on the scene claimed he smelled alcohol on the driver's breath.
The actor's lawyer, MARCIA SECKLER, told Manhattan Criminal Court yesterday (23JAN06) her client was "in shock" when he fled the scene. He later turned himself in to police.

A Rainier cherry on top of Ted the bear's head.
Shot specifically for the Weekly Photo Challenge Cherry-on-top
(Spoiler: Don't read this piece about the Legend of William Tell by the Smithsonian if you like the story you heard as a child.)
It's been awhile since I've stitched up a sock monkey. The classic.
One for new baby grandson in Ohio and one for a friend of my sister in New York City. The pairs of socks have been in the house a long time. Once I stitched on the faces, they seem to look at me and smile.
Both Anna and Jack have set up a crew of sock monkeys, told them to smile and photographed them. This evening I placed the newly completed monkeys on the couch in my living room. And took their picture
Very cooperative!
One of the smiles needs a bit of straightening out, I see upon examining the image. Ooops.
And yes, my sister and I visited the Sock Monkey Museum in Rockford, Illinois when we were visiting relatives. (The relatives live in Rockford, not the museum)
Sock monkey duo, going in different directions, more than 500 miles apart.
Here are some old sock monkey photos from previous blogs.
When I was a kid (c. 1958)my family lived in the city of Newark NJ. there was a Youth Consultation Service behind our house on Broad Street. At least a dozen girls lived there and each girl had a handmade sock monkey. My mom thought sock monkeys weren't appealing but I always wanted one. Some people think they are ugly, others think they're cute. These two have a bit of scrap flannel from the sock monkey pillowcases I stitched for the grandchildren for Christmas. Going with a theme, here. That will be another post.
I don't think I owned one until I stitched on in 1976.
The first sock monkey I ever made was for my son Mark (39),father to the grandchildren in the photos above. He name it the Doonie Monkey and it was stuffed with old stockings. I use fiberfill now. And for some unknown reason, I never added a tail on his monkey. He resides with the grandchildren in Ohio, too.
I've make pink and blue and purple monkeys but my favorite is the classic.
If you would like to make a sock monkey, there's a terrific youtube tutorial by Professor Pincushion on how to make the classic monkey. I don't add the ears or buttons on mine.
Beware of Fox!
It's been up on this porch roof for at least a couple of days.
I was driving to the zoo from school on Monday.
The story I heard from the guy out in front of the house next door?
The guy who lives there does demolition and probably got it from some home he was tearing down. It is the season of demolition around the city as you know.
A photographer has no choice but to pull to the curb and shoot the scene. Remember the days of women's stoles with fox heads dangling and tiny paws with claws? Beady eyes? Ugh. Wonder if they take him in if it rains?
The last book we read in 2nd grade Intervention Group was the Fantastic Mr. Fox by Roald Dahl.

One of the interesting things about the current government and debt ceiling impasses is that some of the harshest criticisms of Republican party tactics are coming from conservatives who can't seem to believe how rapidly their party is going downhill. Here is Rod Dreher writing in The American Conservative asking, "Is this what American conservatism is turning into?" He cites a memo about what a focus group of Republicans revealed about what is driving the Republican party extremism.
Reading the entire memo (PDF), I found myself agreeing with some — some — of the things people in the various factions believe. For example, the Evangelicals are right that elite culture looks down on them and marginalizes them. The thing that alienates me in the extreme from the GOP base is the hysteria, and the apocalypticism. It's not enough to call Obama a conventional Establishment liberal, which he plainly is; he has to be a "Marxist" in their eyes. They cannot seem to grasp that if Republicans in Congress compromise, it's because they control only one house in the legislative branch of the government. They have to compromise. This is what happens when you emote instead of think, when you give your mind over wholly to ideology, abandoning empiricism, and live inside an information bubble that enables confirmation bias: you lose touch with the real world, and make decisions based on what you feel.
Dreher quotes David Freddoso who says:
Symbolism is trumping substance. Conservative lawmakers and activists are plunging into dead-end conflicts that do little more than inspire e-mail fundraising pitches; at the same time, they fail to stand up for basic conservative principles when given opportunities to win.
It's almost as though conservatives are determined to fight only the battles they can't win, and ignore those they might.
The Guardian reports that the Congressional Republican caucus began their meeting today by singing, of all things, Amazing Grace.
Opening meetings with a prayer is bad enough but singing hymns? Apart from the oddity of turning a political meeting into something resembling church, this particular hymn is one that is often sung at funerals and denotes redemption from sinful ways and thus does not exactly inspire confidence.

Mode S Technology
Other Links
Interview with Steve Bussolari - 11/3/00
In 1984, the group began conducting experiments at oil platforms off the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. They had gone down to Baton Rouge to one of the Helicopter Safety Air Controllers (HSAC) quarterly meetings and "briefed them on the technology." HSAC agreed to help conduct a helicopter-to-helicopter test and provided one of their helicopters, while the LL researchers leased another helicopter to use.
Bussolari noted that the principal challenge in air traffic control design is "to work in the existing system." In the case of the GPS Squitter, the challenge was to share the channel with the ATCRBS system. The "principal strength is that you don't use spectrum", since it uses the same frequency band for transmitting and receiving signals. Since TCAS already has a 1090 MHz receiver, the design for GPS Squitter is intended to be "seamless."
"Cost for delay is high (5%), so if you can save a little bit of delay, that's enormous savings." "Where the info will be useful is for aircraft to be able to see each other, [so] you can preserve your operations even in bad weather." Right now pilots have to rely on visually self-separate.
"1090 [MHz] is the most loaded channel." "ATCRBS does 15-20 planes in a beam sweep...it's the replies...these are called fruit (false replies uncorrelated in time)....it's that high fruit environment" which causes such heavy traffic. "Frankfurt has a lot of military aircraft...before the Berlin Wall came down, all the Allied and Russia aircraft were [constantly] interrogating their borders."
Many years ago, the FAA did try to mandate that Mode S transponders be installed in brand new transponders. "What they failed to do was deploy Mode S radar stations...so they were on very weak ground to be forcing the general aviation community" to along with their plan. "It polarized the community" and many people said "we don't want Mode S" and became very afraid of Mode S.
Currently, Mode S transponders are still more expensive than ATCRBS transponders. "The waveforms of Mode S transponders require much tighter control," and the cavity oscillators in ATCRBS "tend to droop" so they cannot be used for Mode S. Mode S, in addition, is a "solid-state front end" which has both processing and software. The development costs for the processor and software are quite high, so Bussolari believes the FAA "needs to adopt a common chipset with the same processor and a common chipset and the same software" to help lower the cost. "It's a perfect function of government, [but] not welcome by manufacturers [such as Honeywell and Allied Signal] because [they] don't want to be undercut."
"We're doing air traffic control in a very manual process. San Francisco is an example where PRM will help. You have to look at where what am I trying to accomplish here? What paradigm do I need to shift to? What technology do I need to get there?" To think in terms of the technology is a "dangerous trap that we as technologists fall in...."
"At the end of the war, the focus was Soviet bombers coming over the pole...what was needed was a system of radars on the system and radar interceptors...in order to do that, it was the digital computer. Lincoln built an air defense system...and was asked by the Department of Defense as an outgrowth. Lincoln Laboratory focus in 1951 sole job was Project Lincoln called the SAGE system." The notion that "radars [are] linked by a digital computer" is "no different than ATC." Lincoln's strength was "building and showing that it worked." A company was spunoff MITRE to do "contract monitoring" because MIT did not want to be responsible for maintaining the air traffic control system.

Hidradenitis suppurativa (hi-drad-uh-NIE-tis sup-yoo-ruh-TIE-vuh) is rare, long-term skin condition that features small, painful lumps under the skin. They typically develop where the skin rubs together, such as the armpits, the groin, between the buttocks and under the breasts. The lumps may break open and smell or cause tunnels under the skin.
Hidradenitis suppurativa tends to start after puberty. It can persist for many years and worsen over time, with serious effects on your daily life and emotional well-being. Early diagnosis and treatment can help manage the symptoms, keep new lumps from forming and prevent complications, such as scarring or depression.
Hidradenitis suppurativa commonly occurs around hair follicles with many oil and sweat glands, such as in the armpits, groin and anal area. It may also occur where skin rubs together, such as the inner thighs, under the breasts and between the buttocks. Hidradenitis suppurativa can affect one spot or multiple areas of the body.
Signs and symptoms of hidradenitis suppurativa include:
Hidradenitis suppurativa usually starts between puberty and age 40 with a single, painful bump that persists for weeks or months. For some people, the disease progressively worsens and affects multiple areas of their body. Other people experience only mild symptoms. Excess weight, stress, hormonal changes, heat or humidity can worsen symptoms. In women, the disease severity may lessen after menopause.
Early detection of hidradenitis suppurativa is key to getting effective treatment. See your doctor if your condition:
If you've already received a diagnosis of hidradenitis suppurativa, keep in mind that the warning signs of a disease flare (recurrence) are often similar to those that occurred originally. Also pay attention to any new signs or symptoms. These may indicate either a recurrence or a complication of treatment.
Hidradenitis suppurativa develops when hair follicles become blocked and inflamed. No one knows exactly why this blockage occurs. Factors that may play a role include hormones, metabolic syndrome, genetics, an irregular immune system response, smoking and excess weight.
Hidradenitis suppurativa is not caused by an infection and can't be transmitted sexually. It's not contagious and is not due to poor hygiene.
Factors that may increase your risk may include:
Persistent and severe hidradenitis suppurativa often causes complications, including:

Written on: 06/03/2013 by ladybluev9 (1 review written)
Had new kitchen fitted by specialist supplier four years ago; chose ATAG combi oven and fan assisted main oven as I was under impression premier brand - be warned - do not go there - from day one the combi/microwave proved problematic in that after three uses the oven lamp bulb blew; took almost a year for this to be replaced only for it to go again a year later - unfortunately no one wanted to know and now have an oven which I cannot see into. The microwave itself makes a dreadful noise and clearly is about to give up the ghost. Main oven ok so far although I am concerned as there is no back up and my supplier no longer deals in ATAG.
This is not a premier brand and the support for UK owners is non-existent - feel I was sold a pup!
If I had realised no UK back up or guarantee I would definitely not have purchased.
Written on: 20/07/2013
We've had similar problems. Bought ATAG combi oven, microwave, steam oven and also coffee machine. The four look good but it's a shame they don't work as well.
Coffee machine has twice had problems clearing used coffee, leaving growing pile of ground coffee in machine not receptacle. Have eventually got repaired twice.
Microwave door handle loose, one end came off before could be tightened scratching front. "Engineer" caused more damage attempting to "repair" it. Eventually got this sorted out.
Combi oven leaks fluid into drawer below when roasting turkey etc. Door seal has joint in middle of bottom. Atag's response so far is disinterest. Our view is 'not fit for purpose' so interesting legal debate coming up.
Steam oven has flake of paint fallen off. Concerned that continued use could cause damage.
Tried to get Atag's engineer to attend to 3 outstanding problems. They would only accept 1 fault per call, so came out and sorted out coffee machine.
We now need to try and get them back out again for other 2 faults.

There is Cristiano Ronaldo, there is Wayne Rooney, but there is only one Leo Messi. That left foot has a brain of its own- the neural representation must be the size of what is devoted to the hand. It is so precise, so deadly, changing the course of the ball with a series of flicks like a snake finding its prey with its tongue. For good measure he scored his third goal with the right foot. Yes, he is bipedal.
His hat trick shattered Valencia, a proud club as Unai Emery and his men looked on in disbelief. And Thierry Henry quietly had one of his best nights. He may not be the marquee player but if he is going out, then Pep Guardiola is losing out on a player still playing well within his born on date. The Barca manager was a spectator serving out a suspension for arguing with the linesman in the Almeria match.
The Liga is now a dogfight between the Blaugrana and the Merengues with the latter ahead on goal difference. They destroyed Valladolid, 4-1 on the strength of Gonzalo Higuain's hat trick. A welcome change from his ineptness against Lyon. And a reprieve for the beleaguered Manuel Pellegrini.
One comment on "Video: Mesmerizing Messi vanquishes Valencia"
Messi is just astounding to watch, plainly at the top of his game.

Not sure about you but as the holidays approach the amount of drawings and coloring pages I receive every time I pick Little Man up from the nursery is multiplying. And let's face it my child does about three crayon lines on a piece of paper and is done. So what's a mother to do? I decided to create a craft that would allow us to showcase his "art" for a week and then toss it when the new "art" arrived. Since he loves airplanes we went with an airplane theme.
Airplane Magnet Art Clip
Supplies (for 2 art clips)
- 3-4 Tongue Depressors
- 2 Clothespins
- Washable paint (2 colors)
- Magnets
- Glue
Step One – Paint the clothespins and tongue depressors. I choose to make ours orange and green. Little Man really loved the painting portion part of this but again it took two coats since this was washable paint.
Step Two – Once dry I penciled (eyeballed) the below lines to create the tail and fin. I used a ruler to ensure the lines were straight and cut the wood with a sharp sewing scissors. One depressor will create enough for two airplanes. I painted an extra tongue depressor just in case I messed up or split the wood in the cutting process.
Step Three – Once all the parts are created you can begin glueing them together. I started out using a hot glue gun but that didn't hold well. I switched to tacky glue and that has held up surprisingly well, including when my toddler has flown it around the house.
Step Four – Place the airplane on your fridge and hang up your childs favorite art work!
What have you done with all your childs artwork? I'm sure this solution won't last me forever. ; )
