Callum Bisping has some big shoes to fill, but it looks like he's interested in at least giving it a try. Callum is the eldest son of UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping, who is set to smash all kinds of records if he beats Dan Henderson this weekend.
Callum took to Reddit this week to share his thoughts on his dad, and to answer fan questions. When asked if he planned to follow in his dad's footsteps he said, "I'll probably give it a shot."
Callum is off to the right start; he's currently on his high school wrestling team, and according to some recent Instagram snaps, he's doing pretty well.
He's also been seen training along side his famous dad.
We all know Michael Bisping is one of the kings of trash talking, and it looks like his son may also have that skill down pat. When faced with the ever present internet trolls, Callum knew exactly what to say.
When a hater compared him to CM Punk
When asked if he tries on the belt when his dad is away
On his dad's hairstyle... (Yes, someone asked about it)
On being the kid of someone famous
Let's not forget that Callum is his own person, and even if he does decide to enter the MMA community as a professional someday, I'm sure he'll do it his own way, with some help from his dad.
The younger Bisping could also eventually join the ranks of Ryan Couture, A.J. McKee, and Kevin "Baby Slice" Ferguson Jr. as second generation mixed martial artists.
We're all looking forward to seeing Callum in the cage someday, but for the time being, you can watch his dad attempt to defend his middleweight title this weekend at UFC 204, when he faces Dan Henderson for the second time in his career.

The new store will be open at 23 Place Vendôme soon. Yves Carcelle, Chairman and CEO of Louis Vuitton Malletier said, "The Louis Vuitton store at Place Vendôme is as fundamental a step for our jewellery collection, as our workshop at Asnières was for our trunks in 1859 or as our workshop in Fiesso d'Artico in Italy was for our shoes in 2000." He also said the new 150 sq. meter store will have a window space at Place Vendôme and four windows facing Rue de la Paix.
Below is a pair of earing from New Les Ardentes Collection, Love it. I will definitely visit the store on my next trip to Paris.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Project Education Sudan, Denver, CO, USA
Being an intern with PES was a great experience. The people who work with PES are friendly, highly collaborative, and very creative. Everyone is passionate about what PES does for the communities in Southern Sudan and women. Every cent of their funding goes towards their meaningful and impacting projects. They are transparent in the way they work and make the money raised go as far as possible in the villages they visit and work with. From grinding mills and sewing machines to all girls' schools, PES emphasizes and encourages empowerment and sustainability of women. It is clear that efforts like this are what really catalyzes change in countries like Southern Sudan and around the world.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
I have seen pictures from the areas that PES works and have heard and read first hand accounts of how the organization's projects have impacted the lives of women positively.
How frequently have you been involved with the organization?
About every week
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

I have a wandering eye when it comes to guys. Most of the time when viewing guys in my general age group, I have a tendency to quickly size them up and literally the next word to enter my head is either:
a) hmm...
b) next
Nearly 90% of the time I go with the latter.
But then the men enter the room and suddenly, I am snapping to attention. As many who know me well (or have a class with me, I'm pretty outspoken) know I just love guys older. And when I say older, I mean 30-late 40's range.
So in honor of the upcoming VD, 5 men I find utterly irrestible.
Your guess is as good as mine in how I came about discovering James Dean. I really don't remember it at all. I think it was a photo somebody had and showed me. I remember I bought a puzzle of him and I would obsessively put it together and pull it apart and then do it over again. Then I bought a poster and I remember my Mom saw it and said, "Huh, I didn't know you liked James Dean Heather."
Oh, parents.
This poster I have hanging in my room right above my dresser with the books, teapot, and crow painting. One night when I was extremely drunk, I remember looking at it and in that bizarre way our minds work when we've been past our limits (the drunken philosopher mode) I could not understand how such a handsome talented man had to have his life end before it truly began.
I also recall thinking that I could feel, really feel, the fibers in his shirt even though this was just a piece of paper and I almost rubbed my hand against it.
Schindler's List is one of the few movies I cry openly during. I cried in class (but kept it in my hoodie sleeves so it looked like I was napping), I cried when I watched it alone once and my Mom came into my room and sat with me as I bawled throughout the film. (She had to hold me a couple of times...but then again, I was 12).
In any case, Mr. Ralph Fiennes was in this film and as most of the viewers can agree, he was a despicable character.
But then I saw The Constant Gardener and of course, I crushed hard.
He's refined. He's British. He's lovely.
It is all because of Melissa that Robert Downey Jr. is my top crush.
Had she not of opened her mouth this summer and said, "Yeah but Robert Downey Jr. in Iron Man? Holy shit, he is hot! Go see that movie."
If she had never said that, if she had never pointed out the picture in the Rolling Stone I was looking at, I might never have truly known about him. Ignorance is bliss as they say.
To be ignorant about this would not be bliss. To be ignorant of this finely sculpted gorgeous man would be fucking awful!
I watched Chaplin and loved it. The man is a truly gifted actor and the ultimate comeback kid. Who didn't root for him to succeed?
But I gotta say, it really didn't hit me until I saw Tropic Thunder. Yes, that's right. A man in black face I found dead sexy. I'm telling you, I don't have a type. It's all over the damn board.
So yeah...
I fucking love Robert Downey Jr.
There is a scene in Superbad where Jonah Hill says that to hook up with his crush Jules, he says he would do terrible things to be with her.
Let me tell you something, dear reader...
I would do postively dirty, disgusting, raunchy, things to be with Mr. Mortensen whom I did not find at all attractive in Lord of the Rings. It was that Russian Mafia film Eastern Promises that did it for me...and then all of a sudden, I was like "Everybody in the house, give me all of the LOTR films!" (Still didn't do it for me though).
And if I were lucky enough to meet him, I can guarantee you I would probably lose my cool and just be super giggly and girly and so that twisty thing I do with my hair that I've been doing lately.
But seriously just look at him! I'm telling you, this is exactly the type of man I'm looking for. One who is stronger than me (I'm really sick of being the strong one around wimpy guys who are all "need to figure out what I want" bullshit) and who looks like he would just throw me up against a wall.
To quote Miss Lady GaGa, "I like it rough."
A true classic. Johnny Depp was my first crush in 6th grade and up until last summer, held the crowning spot of cutest males. I've riddled many a journal with his name and created several crush collages. I love him in his weirdo roles (Edward Scissorhands, The Man Who Cried, Sleepy Hollow) and I am not a fan of his Jack Sparrow in POTC.
Seriously, as much as I'm glad he was nominated for an Oscar, I was very happy he lost it. Because that movie just did not showcase his full acting range.
And because I'm always partial to the indie films.
Okay, I spent a sufficient amount of time not doing my homework so I think it's time to wrap it up, do some religion homework, watch the rest of the Flavor of Love Roast, and go to sleep.
Love to you all,

London, United Kingdom (PressExposure) March 18, 2011 -- July 2011 sees three of the world's most inspiring achievers, Sir Richard Branson, Tony Robbins and Lord Alan Sugar join together for National Achievers 2011 Congress in London, UK.
During this exciting 3 day conference, Sir Richard Branson, Tony Robbins and Lord Alan Sugar will share the stories of their successes and share insights on how to get ahead in business, communicating groundbreaking concepts, philosophies, principles, theories and latest trends. The world's leading business strategists will pass on their own cutting edge strategies. Sir Richard Branson is a World famous entrepreneur and founder of Virgin Group of Companies. Not only is Sir Richard a leader in commerce, he is author of "Losing My Virginity: How I've Survived, Had Fun and Made a Fortune Doing Business My Way and "Business Stripped Bare: Adventures of a Global Entrepreneur.
The Virgin Empire began in 1970 as a mail order business before branching further into retail with a record store in London in the famous shopping area of Oxford Street. Sir Richard continued to build his business, forming Virgin Music Group, which included record labels, music publishing and recording studios, eventually selling to THORN EMI in 1992 in a $1billion deal. Branson continued to build Virgin; one of the world's most recognised and respected brands, expanding into aviation, hospitality, telecomms, financial services, health and wellness and clean energy.
In 1999, Richard was awarded a knighthood for "services to entrepreneurship" and is still head of the business he founded, employing approximately 50,000 people in 29 countries.
For many entrepreneurs, it would be a privilege to hear the Richard Branson story directly from the man himself; however this event brings together the top business talent in the world and world number ones. Tony Robbins is the worlds number 1 Peak Performance Coach, who has coached and consulted over 3 million people from 100 different countries over 3 decades through live performances. Robbins has also directly impacted the lives of some further 50 million people through his best-selling books and audio products.
At this amazing gathering, Robbins will empower and teach the audience to achieve their own success using the methods that earned him the reputation as the 'ultimate life coach'.
But that's not all...
Alongside Sir Richard Branson and Tony Robbins at the 2011 Congress is Lord Alan Sugar, founder of Amstrad and star of The Apprentice in the UK. Lord Sugar, founded Amstrad in 1968, after leaving school at aged 16. As well as developing the Amstrad Group of companies, Sugar also service as Chairman of Tottenham Hotspur Football Club, further diversifying his strategic experience and successes. In 2007, Sugar sold the Amstrad empire to Sky earning himself a place on the Sunday Times Rich List. To this day, Lord Sugar remains devoted to enterprise and philanthropy.
This unique gathering of global business leaders, will also provide unprecedented networking opportunities with some of the most successful people in the world. It is unlikely such a powerful line of up achievers which also includes Adam Ginsberg, eBay's number 1 seller and T Harv Eker, founder and CEO of Peak Potentials Training has ever been brought together before or will be brought together in the future. This event really will be a once in lifetime opportunity.

text: We just finished conducting a workshop at the University of Colorado with the International Association of Forensic Nurses. Known worldwide for its focus on caring and reflective practice, Sue Hagedorn and Vicki Erickson from the University, in conjunction with recruitment from IAFN, brought together nurses from around the country for the workshops. The workshops were facilitated by Daniel Weinshenker and Mary Ann McNair from the Center for Digital Storytelling. This was the third workshop in a three-part series to be run at the University of Colorado Anschutz Center. Future workshops will focus on interdisciplinary stories (nurses and doctors, doctors and patients). This project focused on how certain patients affected the storyteller's identity as a nurse, or changed their practice, and sometimes how experiences from their life outside of nursing affected the way they think about caring.http://www.vimeo.com/11958226 http://www.vimeo.com/11958384 http://www.vimeo.com/11958392 http://www.vimeo.com/11958373 http://www.vimeo.com/11958312 http://www.vimeo.com/11958360 http://www.vimeo.com/11958299 http://www.vimeo.com/11958341 http://www.vimeo.com/11958286

Anniversary Love
Naomi just invited a couple of friends round for a few hours of girly time so I took advantage and escaped to my crafty corner to make this card to enter into Moving Along With The Times Challenge #4 which is another new one for me.
It was a Sketch Challenge with Wedding/Anniversary theme as an additional option.
The foiled image and sentiments are from my recycle box, double matted onto silver mirri card and then pale lilac doublesided cardstock from Papermill.
The small silver hearts punched from the mirri card were used as embellishments.

Ces derniers jours, le nommÃĐ Eric Phillbert avait ÃĐtÃĐ citÃĐ dans une affaire de drogue alors qu'il ÃĐtait complÃĻtement ÃĐtranger à ce dossier.

Eric Phillibert y est dÃĐsignÃĐ comme le directeur gÃĐnÃĐral du Lamatin alors qu'il n'en est que le directeur d'exploitation.

The Italian government's decision goes against the results of a referendum on the law of assisted insemination, held last June.
According to L'Osservatore Romano, the decision of the Italian government is "an undue intrusion in the realm of values that are not negotiable." Italy had previously adhered to the ethical declaration with France, Poland and Slovakia.
In an article today in its Italian edition, L'Osservatore Romano stated that the new government of Romano Prodi is being characterized by "decisions that systematically go in the direction of a misunderstood secularism."
This secularism arises from "the preoccupation of calming the most radical members of the majority," but "it ends by leading the country to parody grotesquely the experiences of other countries, betraying Italy's most profound identity and the very will expressed by the voters."

Astronaut Touches Down at Merchants' Academy
Mike Foale, the first Briton to walk in space, held students spellbound when he visited Merchants' Academy Bristol to talk about his career. He told the audience of Year 7 and 8 students how he wanted to be an astronaut from the age of six and pursued his ambition with determination. He was finally selected by NASA at the age of 30 and went on to take part in six Space Shuttle missions, including extended missions to Mir and the International Space Station.
Highlights included repairing the Bristol-built Hubble space telescope and helping to rescue the Russian space station. He was the first British-born astronaut to spend time on the International Space Station, on which Briton Tim Peake is currently coming to the end of a six-month mission.
Mike explained that at the time he was aspiring to become an astronaut, the UK was not putting money into space exploration. However, he was able to apply to NASA because his mother was American, and was accepted at his third attempt.
Wearing a blue flight jacket, Mike told the students how he had been inspired by his RAF pilot father, by watching films such as Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey and by reading science fiction. As a child, he visited the US space centre. He watched the historic 1969 moon landings on television and dreamed of following in the footsteps of Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins.
"My parents didn't really think I could ever become an astronaut," he said. But once his other ambition of becoming a jet pilot like his dad was ruled out when he failed the eyesight test, Mike began aiming for Houston. While studying for a physics degree and an astrophysics doctorate at Cambridge, he also took part in activities including gliding, using a radio telescope and scuba diving, which he recognised could all help him get on in his career.
Mike secured a job working in aerospace in the US and was finally selected by NASA a year or so after the space shuttle Challenger disaster, in which seven crew members died. He has spent more than a year in space during his missions.
His talk was accompanied by inspiring photos and videos. Students were particularly entertained by pictures of Mike drinking water and eating M&Ms in the zero gravity environment.
Merchants' Academy was one of only eight schools in the UK to have a visit from Mike, who lives in America with his family and devotes some of his time to the International Space Station Education Trust.
He presented Principal Nick Short with a poster on which he had written: "To Merchants' Academy: Study hard at school and you will achieve your dreams."
Mr Short said that Mike Foale was a shining example of someone who had achieved more than they ever thought possible, which is the vision for everyone at Merchants' Academy.
Science teacher Kevin Timothy said: "Mike's visit has really enthused and motivated the students. It is so inspiring for them to have the opportunity to meet someone who has achieved so much in an amazing career."
Dr Hilary Macaulay, Executive Principal of Merchants' Academy Trust, said that – thanks to its sponsors, the Society of Merchant Venturers and the University of Bristol – the academy was renowned for enabling young people to hear from high-profile local and national visitors.
"This was an opportunity for an international dimension. Mike's talk, photos and video were phenomenal and both students and staff were awestruck," she said. "It is a crucial time for the next generation to learn about the UK's impact on space travel. We need to develop first class scientists and help young people realise the opportunities science education can open up for them."

Peugeot has revealed today the facelifted version of the 207 hatchback. The new model features a redesigned front end, new chromed accessories and body colored bumpers. Also, we have new LED rear lights and new instrument panel inside the vehicle.
Under the hood, the French manufacturer added 12 engine options as well as several Euro 5 units and the well-known 1.4-litre HDi unit with 99g/km CO2 emissions.
Peugeot 207 was the best-selling small car in Europe in 2007 and 2008, and it hopes to continue its streak with the latest version, which is available in three body shapes -- hatchback, SW and CC -- and 12 powerplant options. Each body shape has its own unique appeal.
For instance, the Peugeot 207 hatchback, available in three or five doors, is as sporty as it is user-friendly. It is versatile and easy to drive and offers necessary comfort for its occupants. Meanwhile, the Peugeot 207 SW and SW Outdoor offer the needed practicality, especially for ones who have an eye for adventure.
Bright inside, both the Peugeot 207 SW and SW Outdoor also offer an attractive exterior. On the other hand, the Peugeot 207 CC is still as appealing as ever, even with the arrival of its newest version of Europe's best-selling cabriolet. Of course, when the new Peugeot 207 arrives this August, it will feature a number of styling changes, both inside and outside.
For instance, the new Peugeot 207 now has a redesigned front that blends dynamism with a softer visual appearance. Moreover, the small car from Peugeot now features more exterior body coloring and chrome detailing, as well as new rear lights (light emitting diodes for the hatchback and CC models).
Inside, the new Peugeot 207 boasts of new trims and detailing that highlight its perceived quality, comfort and dynamism. Moreover, it boasts of new modern instrument panel designs that are now more appealing. Aside from the styling changes, the new Peugeot 207 now consumes less fuel and emits less carbon dioxide.
Aside from featuring an engine that is more efficient, the vehicle benefits from its aerodynamic design and its rolling resistance. In fact, the new Peugeot 207 just emits 99 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometer. Moreover, the carmaker is gradually introducing engines that comply with the Euro5 emission standard.
Also, the manual gearbox models of the 207 now feature a gear change indicator. The new Peugeot 207 is now blessed with an array of new standard equipment that brings more convenience and comfort to its occupants.
These include Peugeot Connect USB with Bluetooth in-car entertainment system as well as remote-controlled window closure using the plip unit on hatchback and SW models. Likewise, the new 207 features a one-touch direction indicator function that allows safer lane changes. The new Peugeot 207 CC, meanwhile, features a one-touch operation of the driver's electric window.

The Oracles of Kodungallur celebrate their festival in the Bhagawati temple in Kerala, which usually occurs between the months of March and April. It involves sacrifice of cocks and shedding of the Oracles own blood, to appease the goddess Kali and her demons who are said to relish blood offerings. A chaotic religious event attended by thousands of devotees and their extended families, and certainly not for the fainthearted.

David Bowie's son Duncan announces he and his wife are expecting a babyFebruary 11, 2016
David Bowie's son, Duncan Jones, has announced he's expecting a baby - one month after losing his father.
Duncan took to Twitter to reveal the bittersweet news, he wrote, "1 month since dad died today. Made this card for him at Christmas. Due in June. Circle of life. Love you, granddad."
Bowie passed away on January 10 following a private 18-month battle with cancer, but it seems he was able to find out the wonderful news before his passing.
Duncan is expecting his first child with wife, Rodene Ronquillo, a photographer who was diagnosed with breast cancer on the same day the pair married on November 7 2012.
RELATED: A letter David Bowie wrote to his first ever US fan is now going viral
Luckily for the couple, Rodene was given the all-clear after undergoing chemotherapy and a double mastectomy.
Rodene also shared the news on the social networking site and wrote, "Shame on those of you who just thought I was really fat and didn't say anything. HAHA."
Duncan was one of the first to confirm his dad's passing with this tweet:
Two weeks later he returned to the social networking site to thank everyone for their "kind words and thoughts".
Duncan is Bowie's only child with his ex-wife, Angie Bowie, he's also survived by his daughter with wife Iman, Alexandria, 15.

Choreographer Peter Quanz is one of the fastest rising stars in the world of dance. His company, Q Dance, presents a showcase of three of his most joyful works November 13-16.
"We have had so much fun putting this program together," he said. "I don't think we've ever laughed so much in rehearsal.
"This is a serious time in so many ways and a lot of theatre is very heavy and dramatic and speaks to that," he continued. "But I think we also need to have art and work at the highest level at the highest calibre of technique, of training, that is also fun, that also is able to go into satire, into farce and treat that really seriously with the best artists that we have available."
His newest and most innovative piece is Murder Afoot, a multi-media comedic murder mystery ballet in which all of the characters die. In it, a video camera does a live-stream projection from a solo that takes place in the lobby of the theatre while the audience watches inside the theatre. They watch scenes from backstage and see dancers superimposed into other environments.
"It changes the accessibility of space," said Quanz. "We're so attuned as a society to looking at screens, to watching video images, that to combine that in front of us in a live situation with a 300 year old art form is really fun because we can see the dancers on stage and then we can see close-ups of them at the same time, or a different perspective of them at the same time. It gives a more three dimensionality to the performance."
The other works on the program include Quantz by Quanz, a neoclassical ballet from 2005 that tests the ballet dancers' classical vocabulary, but in a contemporary way.
Double Bounce features dancers in flat tutus with flexible edges that can be manipulated and twisted into different forms. The dance was performed by the National Ballet of Cuba where it picked up influences of salsa.
Peter Quanz formed Q Dance with a group of hand-picked of dancers in 2010. They have performed to great critical and audience acclaim in Ottawa, New York and Cuba.
Q Dance's sold-out performances take place Nov. 13 - 16 at the Gas Station Arts Centre.

While travelling with your infant by aeroplane there are a number of things that can be fairly troublesome if you don't have the right approach.
For the most part our troubles get the better of us before even boarding on the plane!. Things like not even knowing the perfect bag for your travel are the things that can hold you back.
We're not going to waste a great deal of time here, in this brief article we're going to take a look at 4 intrinsic tips to be prepared for baby plane travel!
1.) Go for an all-in-one handbag
Getting stuck while trying to haul a purse, diaper bag and briefcase can be a pretty royal pain. Buying a bag that can serve the purpose of all 3 will be a lot easier and allow you to get where you want to in a flash. A large backpack is a really great solution in this case since you can store everything from snacks to diapers and even tickets with your ID. Also, backpacks usually get through all airline size requirements.
2.) Strollers
Babies tend to get tired at the most inconvenient times it seems and when they do having a stroller makes the world a lot easier. Usually you can try to go for a stroller with a car seat attachment since that would be another great addition for your baby's in-flight safety. Strollers really do hand you a life-line when you have a connecting flight to catch.
3.) Gate Check Ticket
A gate check ticket is one of the most helpful things some airlines offer. Basically, a gate check ticket allows you to mark your stroller before you board the plane and the airlines will have it waiting for you once you exit. A must have for connecting flights.
4.) Special Travel Gear
If you're a frequent air traveler you might want to consider investing in some top of the line baby traveling gear such as: stroller and car seat combos; disposable feeding supplies and even new toys to keep your babies busy!
Just remember these four essentials when taking your baby anywhere by air next time and a lot of your troubles should be gone!

Waterton Lakes - Alberta is Awesome!
Waterton Lakes National Park Travel Blog› entry 21 of 21 › view all entries
Every year my wife, my dog, and I go somewhere and camp. Most years we spend 2-3 weeks on the road trying our hardest to be the biggest dirtbag campers we can be. This year however we have far too many other things going on to extend our camping trip that long. So with the lack of time (5 days) we decided to go somewhere relatively close. We decided Waterton Lakes National Park was that place. We've been going to Jasper and Banff a dozen times a year and decided to try something different - well slightly different.
The morning of the big trip we finished prepping our gear, loaded our coolers with ice, did a double check of what we had and tried our hardest to make that inevitable item we forget not be something we couldn't live without.
As we passed through Calgary my wife had the great idea to stop at a little restaurant we seen on TV called "Fat City Franks" where we tried one of their many quality hot dogs. I went with the Mexican Chili while my wife went with the Ukranian - both were awesome. Back on the road we got south of Calgary and that is when we got to see the real amazing grassland area's of Alberta. Rolling grassy hills as far as the eye can see. Massive multi-million dollar mansions were the only occasional break in the rolling green. Eventually we made it to an area I would classify as the true Alberta. It was another wind farm that seemed to go on for miles and miles.
Finally, we arrived at Waterton and stopped at the entrance gates. The campsite we decided to stay in was first come, first served, so no reservations. Once it was our turn at the gate we noticed that the sign said ALL CAMPSITES FULL. Great, 6 hours of driving and nowhere to sleep. Needless to say, we were a little ticked but quickly realized there is no point being upset at things out of our control.
The guy at the gate mentioned a private campground towards Pincher Creek. I know Pincher Creek is more than an hour away - "what an absolute piss off" I was thinking.
We pulled into our site and not a person was around. We were only 20 seconds walk to the bathrooms which were well maintained for a large campground like this. We quickly setup, after years of tenting we have a routine that is unbeatable. Our tent was up, our air mattress was blown up, the bed was made, the fire was started, and our dog was fed all within maybe 30 minutes of arriving. We cracked that first beer hoping to get a few down before the weatherman predicted rain and thunderstorm arrived.
The next morning after a great sleep we woke up to the usual sweltering tent. We should have replaced our tent a few years ago for one that has better air flow but we have been delaying it every year under the impression that we are getting a travel trailer. So by 9am the heat in the tent was too unbearable for us to continue sleeping. We got up and did our morning thing, my wife made some tomato sandwiches and I had a shower under our small water jug full of icy water. Hangover was nowhere to be seen and energy was at a high point so we decided to make the most of the early wake-up and go on a great hike.
We entered the park and made a quick stop in town to buy more ice, then we made our way up the Akamina Parkway where we stopped at Lineham trail. The review in the guide said a gradual incline of 350m over 4.2km (oneway) to a 400 foot waterfall. Awesome we thought. 350m didn't seem like a lot we thought. 3 hours return, perfect.
We loaded our bag up with water, we put our bear bell on our crazy dog, and we hit the trail. It started out with a nice forested and slight incline for the first few hundred meters, than once we got just above the tree line the trail went crazy. The incline was about 30% and we were walking in a narrow single track with a steep hill up to our right and a sharp drop to our left. The temperature was around 32 celcius and we were in direct sun with no chance of shade.
Finally after 4.2km and realizing that 350m is apparently a lot we made it to the end. There it was, a beautiful 400 foot waterfall and we were surrounded by massive mountains in every direction. It took me about 10 minutes to catch my breath and cool down before I could actually enjoy it, but I did finally get to that point and was in awe at the sheer size of the mountains and the amazing multitude of colors from the wild flowers.
We began our walk back and were out in no time. We estimated it was probably a 2.5 hour in and 0.5 hour out hike - since it was all downhill on the way out of course. We got back to our truck in time to go have a late lunch in Emerald Bay on the edge of Waterton Village. Our lunch consisted of some amazing homemade chicken salad, a boiled egg, chocolate chip cookies, and some beers. We sat their relaxing after a very difficult but rewarding hike. My legs were still feeling like Jello, but I made it and that was enough to make me forget how my legs felt. We spent the next hour playing fetch with our dog in the lake.
We returned to our campsite, turned on some music and began cooking some steaks and baked potatoes over the fire. Our firepit meals have yet to be anything short of spectacular. Our tenderloin steaks are so tender you could eat them with a spoon, the seasoning is perfect, and the doneness is nothing less than perfect.
Fortunately for us, this was also the night the previous nights rainstorm decided to meet us. Not more than minutes after going to bed and falling asleep immediately, the loudest most frightening thunder clap went off.
The next morning we were still sore and decided to take it easy. We cooked up some bacon, eggs, and hashbrowns from the left over potatoes the night before.
Cameron Lake is a nice lake surrounded by mountains and is split almost in half by the Canada/USA border.
We decided this would be a perfect opportunity to check out the town and have a late lunch. We went to the Trapper Pub and managed to get a patio table where our dog could lay under our chair. The beer was icy cold and the food was okay. We were nicely shaded and our well behaved dog sitting under our chairs was getting so much attention that we almost had to hide her in order to finish our beers before it got warm.
After dinner we took a short walk around town. My wife went ahead with the dog and us usual she was confronted by another dog lover who wanted to pet her and share her life stories with dogs. I love the attention she gets us, but sometimes too much is too much. The lady was very nice though, so no harm done.
After the brief walk around town we made our way to Bear's Hump. A 1.2km 250m trail that overlooks the village. This gives you beautiful panorama's of all three waterton lakes, the village, and even the stunning Prince of Wales hotel.
After that hike we went back to our campsite for another campfire meal consisting of chicken with our own blend of 7 herbs and spices that puts the Colonels to shame. We had pre-made some Caprese Salad, Broccoli Salad, and Potato salad before going on our trip.
The next morning we woke up early and had a quick breakfast of a muffin and a boiled egg before setting off on our drive across the border into the USA to check out the "Going To The Sun" highway. After a very nice couple hour drive we arrived in St.Mary where the road begins. We went through the gates and began our drive. We were here a few years prior in early May before the campsites were open. We managed to convince one of the park staff to let us stay in the campsite, but the going to the sun highway was closed for obvious reasons. So this was our chance to try it in warm weather.
We were probably less than 3 miles into the drive and our close call accidents were already well into the double digits.
We carried on the drive, stopping at each stopping point and checking out the amazing scenery the lines this road (rated #2 drive in the USA behind the California coast highway). We finally got to a beautiful trail that walked along a decent inclined stream that seemed more like mini waterfalls than a steady stream. We were 10 feet into the trail when park rangers stopped us, we apparently missed the "no dog" sign.
We made it to Logan's pass and stopped on the side of the highway to watch the mountain goats climb a cliff. Unfortunately we parked directly under the route they took and small shale was flying down and hitting my wife and my truck. Fortunately it was so light it didn't hurt either. We continued our drive through the narrow roads with waterfalls that were hitting us as we drove by them.
The road continued on to a small town called Apgar. This is your typical small mountain village that is situated lake-side. We ordered some food from the only restaurant in town and walked over to the lake and ate. I got the burger and my wife went with a wrap.
Sitting lake side my wife decided to go for a swim but had no bathing suit. So she improved the view for me and my dog. Possibly even more than us since the vehicles that were in the lot when we arrived were gone.. Ahh well, nature is great.
After some time relaxing in the sun we began the long drive back through the going to the sun highway. This time we stopped for all of the amazing views we missed on the way out. This truly is a road that must be experienced in both directions.
Another relaxing night fire side for our last night.
The next morning we began our long drive home early with another stop in Calgary for Modern Jelly Donuts where we got Maple Bacon donuts. Un-Fucking-Believable!!!
Sadly we arrived home and our trip was done. Now a few days later and our gear is still scattered throughout our kitchen. Maybe we will get around to putting it away this weekend - I guess we are hanging on to that trip as long as possible in some hopes we will get a chance to return before putting it all away.

REVOLVING DISPLAY CAPSULE CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS Reference is made to my prior copending applications for a Portable Reverse Temperature Controlled Container, Ser. No. 216,149, filed Jan. 7, 1972 and a Temperature Controlled Mobile Cart, Ser. No. 218,356, filed Jan. 17, 1972, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to a food display capsule of the type used, for example, in cafeterias and the like, and in particular, to a controlled temperature capsule having revolving shelves therein.
In the prior art it is known to use thermoelectric means to control temperatures in a small unit, such as the unit disclosed in my US. Pat. No. 3,445,039, issued May 20, 1969 for a Liquid Dispenser with Timer Control.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention comprises a thermoelectric controlled temperature food display case with rotary means for rotating a plurality of shelves, whereby food can be presented to a access port for removal; said port being normally sealed by a door.
In various embodiments the rotary means is such as to rotate a plurality of shelves at a uniform speed of say 1 or 2 rpm and the device is so constructed that when the access door is opened the rotary means automatically prevents further rotation, so that food may be removed. Upon closing the door the rotary means starts rotating the shelves again. A plurality of access doors can be utilized.
In the alternative, the rotary means can be manually actuated by means of a switch.
The heat transfer means comprises thermoelectric modules mounted on a plate and having a water cooled coil and blocks attachedthereto for transferring and disposing of heat during the cooling cycle.
The thermoelectric means can be wired for reverse polarity so that by simply throwinga switch the means can either heat or cool; such means being shown in my prior applications referenced above.
One of the principal advantages of this device is that it presents a large quantity of diverse foods to a potential customer in line in a cafeteria and allows the food to be removed quickly without dispensing a great deal of heat and without interfering with other food arranged on the shelves. Further the unit can be used for hot foods at one part of the day and cold foods during another thus cutting down on overhead and substantially contributing to the full use of the device.
Accordingly, it is an object of this invention to provide a rotary unit of the type described for use particularly in a cafeteria, which has both rotation means and thermoelectric temperature control means.
This and other objects of my invention will become apparent from the following description with reference to the accompanying drawings.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a capsule in accordance with the preferred embodiment of my invention, shown with one access door open;
FIG. 2 is a vertical central section taken as indicated by the lines and arrows 2-2 in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a horizontal section taken as indicated by the lines and arrows in 3-3 in FIG. 2;
FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing thermoelectric modules and cooling coils disclosed in the proceeding two figures;
FIG. 5 shows a modification of a portion of the device as shown in FIG. 2 with portions removed for the sake of simplicity and the outline of a capsule base shown in phantom lines; and
FIG. 6 shows a section of the outer portion of the capsule taken similar to FIG. 2, showing a further modification with portions shown in phantom lines or broken away and portions removed for the sake of simplicity.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Although specific forms of the invention have been selected for illustration in the drawings, and the following description is drawn in specific terms for the purpose of describing these forms of the invention, this description is not intended to limit the scope of the invention which is defined in the appended claims.
FIG. 1 shows a complete capsule designated generally 10 with an access door 12 in the open position. The capsule has a rotor means designated generally 14. This particular embodiment shows a cylindrical capsule made of a glass or plastic material (which shall be discussed further hereinafter) and having a plurality of access doorsjThe circular shelves 16, 18 and 20 are typical food carrying shelves similar to those found in-a counter top pie dispenser in a luncheonette, and they are arranged in similar spacing to that known in the industry so as to afford room for placing a number of dishes of dessert, salad or the like for easy removal by hand. However, the unit has a great advantage over prior art units in that the access port or opening (over which the door is mounted in the close position) is of a sufficient size only for inserting a hand and removing the food. Thus when the door is opened, only a small portion of the heat or cold is lost from the inner chamber formed by the capsule. In prior art units the access area was large in comparison to the container, and accordingly, a great deal of heat or cold was lost when opening the container for access of the food, thereby making it practically impossible to maintain controlled temperature.
The shelves are mounted on the rotor means in any suitable way such as by flanges and screws 22, 24 FIG,
2. The shelves, of course, could be mounted on a tapered center post with various diameter holes therein and upwardly extending flanges for a mating relation.- ship with the tapered surface of the rotor means.
The rotor means 14 also serves as an air ventura, and in this regard, the upper portion has a plurality of slots 26 FIG. 2 through which air is circulated as shown by the arrows. The air travels down the central column 28, through the enlarged base portion 30, under the outwardly extending base portion 32, up through the louvers 34 and thence through the capsule chamber 36 and back into the slots 26. The air is moved by the fan 38.
The rotor 28, 30, 32 is driven by a gear reduction motor 40 ata speed of approximately 1 or 2 rpm (revolutions per minute). The motor 40 is mounted on the open web 42 of a cylindrical bracket 44 which is fixedly mounted to a plate 46. The shaft 48 of the motor extends upwardly and is engaged with the web 50 of a drive spider 52. The spider comprises four equally spaced strap flanges 54, each of which has a ball bearing 56 mounted to its outer terminal end. The bearings 56 ride on the plate 46, and are spaced slightly from the outwardly extending base portion 32 of the rotor. The spider strap flanges have holes therein (as shown) for reception of shoulder pins 58; such that the shoulders of the pins rest upon the horizontally. extending portions of the spider strap flanges. The pins 58 are fixedly connected to the rotor base portion 32 and serve as both spacers and the means by which the spider 52 turns the rotor (28,30,32) in response of movement of the shaft 48 of the gear reduction motor 40.
In order to channel and distribute the hot or cold air, the cylindrical member 44 has mounted therein the fan 38 on struts 60 and below the fan and cylindrical member, there is a circular hole in the plate 46 giving access to a plurality of channels 62 formed by radial extending ribs 64. The plate 46, ribs 64 and base plate 66 form a circular finned air diffuser through which the air is forced as shown by the arrows.
The overall case of the machine comprising the upper cylindrical glass or plastic portion and the base designated generally 68 is effectively sealed and ventilated by one of the following means. In the preferred embodiment, the upper glass cap 70 FIG. 2 is made of a thermopane material having a sealed air space therein and the lower portion comprises mating glass containers forming a capsule inner body 72 and a capsule outer body 74 and a seal 76 disposed between them at the bottom made of a silica gel or similar material well known in the industry for preventing fogging of the insulating air space provided between the bodies. Mullions are provided (not shown) around the ports forming the openings (which are covered by the doors) in order to provide an adequate seal. The cap 70 and bodies 72, 74 are held together by any suitable means, such as adhesive.
The base is fully insulated as shown at 78 and within the insulated portion the thermoelectric modules 80 are mounted. Such modules are known and are disclosed in my prior patent and applications referenced above and can be wired for reverse polarity as described in my prior applications. Indeed the thermoelectric modules of this application are wired for reverse polarity and are controlled by thermostats (shown in part'at 82). However, no separate wiring diagram will be disclosed herein for the thermostats modules, fan, motor or any other part, since each circuitry would be obvious in view of my prior disclosure and forms no part of this invention.
A new feature shown in this embodiment is the provision for cooling the cold shoes or blocks 84 attached to each of the thermoelectric modules. These blocks are attached in any suitable way allowing for heat transfer, such as by adhesive, and each of the blocks is bored and tapped for reception of cooling coils 86, 88 to provide a sealed water circuit as shown in FIG.'4. During the cooling cycle the thermoelectric modules draw heat from the bottom plate 66 and dissipate it into the cold blocks 84 from which it is removed by virtue of the flowing water in the coil 86, 88. Fresh water is inserted in the water inlet shown and the water is disposed of in any manner.
In the alternate embodiment shown in FIG. 5, a separate air distribution means is not included and therefore the fan 38 is mounted to a spider frame 90 which is mounted to the bottom plate directly and the air circulates between the bottom plate 66 and the base portion 32.
In the further alternate embodiment shown in FIG. 6, defogging is taken care of by means of an air channel 92 through which air is continuously pumped (the air flowing in the direction of the arrows, as shown from the air inlets through the air outlet port 94 in the doom 96). Since the device needs to be taken apart for cleaning purposes, the doom 96 is sealed to the base 68 by a close fit and the seal 98.
It will be understood that various changes in the details, materials and arrangement of parts which have been herein described and illustrated in order to explain the nature of this invention, may be made by those skilled in the art within the principle and scope of the invention as expressed in the following claims. For example, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, a bottom switch 100 is provided for manually starting or stopping the rotation of the rotor (28,30,32). However, the rotor could rotate constantly at l or 2 rpm and be stopped automatically on opening of the door.
It will further be understood that the Abstract of the Disclosure set forth above is intended to provide a non-legal technical statement of the contents of the disclosure in compliance with the Rules of Practice of the United States Patent Office, and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention described and claimed herein.
What is claimed is:

Musical therapy brings comfort to vulnerable adults across the country
Perfect arrangement
Musicians such as Phoebe Gorry are bringing comfort to vulnerable adults right across the country. Masonic funding will allow Music in Hospitals to find an even bigger audience, as Matt Timms finds out
Singer Phoebe Gorry shoots a glance at her guitarist before turning to the audience: 'This one's my favourite. It's called Tea for Two.' Popularised by Doris Day in the 1950 film of the same name, it's an unusual favourite for a 28-year-old jazz musician to have. Then again, this isn't your usual performance. In a quiet corner of Surrey, Gorry is reeling off classics for elderly residents at the Royal Cambridge Home.
The concert is one of many that are taking place in care homes (including RMBI homes), hospitals and hospices across the country. They're the work of Music in Hospitals, a charity that has brought live music to vulnerable adults and children for more than half a century. With the help of a £60,048 grant from the Masonic Charitable Foundation – the latest in a line of donations from the masonic charities over the years – there is now funding for another 216 concerts over a three-year period.
'Research has shown that live music can help to reduce levels of pain, stress and anxiety, as well as provide moments of joy for those who have lost their independence or feel isolated,' says Emily Winchester, senior fundraising officer at Music in Hospitals, adding that music has an inherent ability to generate an emotional response in the listener. 'Musicians like Phoebe provide stimulating and therapeutic enjoyment for hundreds of elderly people in care homes across the country.'
Judging by today's performance, Gorry is a welcome addition to the home. There are singalongs and plenty of requests – particularly from a cheeky couple in the corner. There is also dancing between staff and residents, and an opportunity to revisit treasured memories while making new ones too.
'The residents love it,' says Gaye Wyeth, who is the housekeeper and activities manager at the home. 'I've been here for 26 years and remember a time when there were hardly any activities at all – never mind this.'
Now there's flower arranging, birthday teas and even a version of the Olympics – with straws and paper plates instead of a javelin and discus. Yet the Music in Hospitals concerts, according to Wyeth, are a house favourite because they're so varied.
'Live music can help to reduce levels of pain, stress and anxiety, as well as provide moments of joy' Emily Winchester
'We have some artistic residents here who have always appreciated music,' says the home's manager, Rory Belfield. 'One of our residents, Joyce, loves today's music, but we have plenty of diverse tastes. Some like jazz, some folk, others opera – the whole range.'
The music is enjoyable but it's also therapeutic. Active participation serves as a form of physiotherapy, through clapping, tapping and moving in time to the music. Positive changes to patients' mood and self-esteem can also make a real difference to their well-being. In addition, and most noticeably at this home, music sparks memories and emotions, meaning staff can understand more about an individual.
Gorry has been a professional singer for 10 years, since graduating from the Academy of Contemporary Music in Guildford, and was introduced to Music in Hospitals through a friend.
Music in Hospitals' chief executive Steve Rowland-Jones says that potential musicians are assessed against their musicianship, breadth of repertoire and communication skills. Since 2013, auditions have been conducted within healthcare environments to gauge how musicians engage with audiences and deal with the vagaries of such settings.
Often, musicians will take on the role of friend or listener as they chat to patients about the memories the music may have sparked. It's an important part of the experience, and one that is welcomed by patients.
'It's intimate,' says Gorry. 'I can engage with an audience in a way I can't do at, say, a wedding when everybody's a bit drunk and I'm in the background. Over the past year, I've become a much better performer. It has changed the way I sing. Now I think about how to communicate a song simply, without overcomplicating it.'
As well as in care homes, Gorry has performed in hospitals and special-needs schools. She says her experience with the charity has given her memories that will last a lifetime. One of the most moving was when a nurse in a children's ward asked her to sing for an eight-year-old girl.
'She hadn't been responsive for a long time and, with her mum and sister by her side, my guitarist and I were able to wake her up and help make eye contact. At that point, her mum started crying. She said it was the most stimulated she'd seen her for a really long time. Moments like that make it all worthwhile.'
Close harmony
With the help of the Masonic Charitable Foundation (MCF), Music in Hospitals aims to reach 5,400 elderly people. David Innes, CEO of the MCF, says that the benefits of the service are clear to see and the work itself is closely aligned with the masonic ethos:
'At the heart of everything we do lies one of the basic principles by which all Freemasons conduct their lives – an ingrained duty to care for those who are less fortunate. From its earliest days in the 1700s, Freemasonry in England and Wales has been concerned with the care of orphans, the sick and the aged, and this grant is a continuation of that principle into the modern day.'
Inside the Freemasons DVD now available to pre-order
Watch unique and unprecedented access to the Freemasons
To mark the United Grand Lodge of England's Tercentenary, a Sky television crew were given unique and unprecedented access to discover what it means to be a modern-day Freemason
The five part documentary they made looked to go beyond the myth and legend to discover what it means to be a Freemason today and answer the questions – who are Freemasons and what do they do?
From our regalia to some lavish ceremonies, through to ancient rituals and bonds of brotherhood, many viewers will recently have had the pleasure of watching the documentary 'Inside the Freemasons'.
There were many behind the scenes highlights to enjoy including coverage of the biggest day of the masonic calendar, the Annual Investiture, and the official consecration of the first masonic football lodge, as well as a feature with UGLE's newly appointed Chief Executive Officer, Doctor David Staples, FRCP, DepGDC.
Although the documentary was recently shown on Sky 1, if you missed it, fear not, as a special edition on DVD is now available to pre-order: it consists of two DVDs, featuring all five episodes and 30 minutes of exclusive extra content.
The 'Inside the Freemasons' DVD will be released by June 15th and is now available to pre-order from Letchworths Shop by clicking here

After another losing season that resulted in a fourth-place finish in the AFC North, the Cleveland Browns were once again forced to start over, bringing in a new coaching staff for 2013, and now head into the upcoming regular-season with their hopes placed squarely on the shoulders of two NFL sophomores.
In his first season as the Browns' head coach, Rob Chudzinski plans to implement an aggressive style of play on both sides of the ball and will be supported by Cleveland's new offensive coordinator Norv Turner, as well as defensive coordinator Ray Horton, who is also entering his first year with the organization.
More importantly, Cleveland's resident starting quarterback Brandon Weeden, has been given the keys to the franchise, an opportunity that rarely presents itself to such an inexperienced pivot.
In 2012, Weeden threw for 3,385 yards with 14 touchdowns and a disappointing 17 interceptions – a stat that must improve immediately in order for the former baseball player to turn the corner and take the next step as a perennial starter in this league.
However, the fact of the matter remains that if Weeden fails to progress or suffers an injury of any consequence, Cleveland will have only veteran journeyman QB Jason Campbell, who will begin the season as the backup, or, fifth-year QB Brian Hoyer who is the Browns' third-string option.
If Weeden now holds the keys that drives this offense, then it's safe to say that fellow second-year pro RB Trent Richardson was also given a copy.
In his rookie campaign, Richardson rushed for 950 yards with 11 touchdowns and began to establish himself as one of the NFL's top up and coming, do-everything backs.
The downside of Richardson's performance in 2012? For starters, Richardson suffered a broken rib in week six and sat out the Browns' regular season finale with an ankle injury. That may all sound insignificant until you consider that the former Alabama star running back had knee surgery this past August. With only Bobby Rainey and Doug Johnson available as backups, an injury to the Browns' most effective offensive weapon would likely spell disaster for the 2013 season.
Another concern that must weigh heavy on the mind of Turner, concerns the lack of depth on the offensive line, more specifically at guard where both starters, Jason Pinkston and Shawn Lauvao, are out with ankle injuries and expected to miss at least the first few games of the regular season. Fortunately for the Browns, seven-year pro Joe Thomas remains a fixture up front and brings both leadership and experience that will help to carry the unit through the injuries.
With Cleveland's lead wideout Josh Gordon scheduled to miss the first two games of the regular season due to a suspension, the Browns will begin 2013 with Greg little (53 rec, 647 yds, 4 TD), who is expected to start opposite second-year receiver Travis Benjamin (18 rec, 298 yds, 2 TD), at least until Gordon returns.
Newly-acquired wideout Davone Bess (61 rec, 778 yds, 1 TD) could also start, but is likely to begin the year as the team's top reserve, while Josh Cooper, a former teammate of Weeden at Oklahoma State, will also be available in a supporting role.
Defensively, Ray Horton is expected to bring an aggressive style of play to the Browns, a style that Horton learned first-hand while playing for and coaching with the legendary Dick LeBeau.
For the most part, Cleveland is expected to blitz much more often in 2013, a philosophy helped by the off-season acquisition of Paul Kruger, who led the Ravens in sacks last season..
Expected to start in his first year with the Browns, DL Desmond Bryant (36 ct, 4 sk, 1 ff), is entering his fifth-year as a pro after spending 2012 with Oakland, while former first-round draft pick Philip Taylor and veteran Ahtyba Rubin (44 ct, 2 ff, 2 sk), return to start on the defensive line.
Cleveland's linebacking corps added what they hope will be the unit's centerpiece of the future when they drafted Barkevious Mingo with the sixth overall pick this past June. Unfortunately, Mingo is currently sidelined with a bruised lung suffered during the preseason and despite his return to practice this past Monday, is expected to miss at least the first week of the regular season.
Also a concern, CB Buster Skrine had a disappointing 2012 campaign but is still projected to start opposite fourth-year CB Joe Haden, as Cleveland's answer to opposing deep-threats.
Ending the year without an interception in 2012, some felt that Skrine should be overtaken by Chris Owens, who was acquired during the off season after spending last year with the Atlanta Falcons.
Considering the coaching changes, Cleveland could spend the first few weeks of the regular season becoming accustomed to the new regime, time that this franchise no longer has to waste. On the other hand, this is a team that lost seven games by 10 points or less last season, evidence that this is no longer the same franchise who opponents most often considered to be among the league's worst.
However, since Cleveland returned to the NFL in 1999, the Browns have averaged 20 ppg only twice while earning a reputation as one of the NFL's most consistently unsuccessful teams. In order for that to change, Cleveland will first have to establish themselves within their own division, a task made all the more difficult with the progression of the Cincinnati Bengals, as well as the presence of both the defending champion Baltimore Ravens, and the still-dangerous Pittsburgh Steelers.
After a 5-11 finish in 2012 that included an abysmal 1-7 record away from home, as well as a 2-4 mark against AFC North opponents, it's clear that Cleveland has a lot of work ahead.
If Weeden progresses and Richardson stays healthy while lightening his workload, believe it or not this football team is more than likely just a few years away from league-wide relevancy, closer than they've been in a long time and something that football fans in Cleveland most definitely deserve.
