Published on July 16, 2012
See Dr. Smyles on youtube.com/MercyHealthPhilly.
Computer-driven precision fascinates John M. Smyles, MD, radiation oncologist at Nazareth Hospital and a member of the Jefferson Kimmel Cancer Center physician network. He combines high-tech with a personal touch to treat cancer.
For me, it's the way we can precisely target a tumor. With a sophisticated technique called image-guided radiation therapy, I can see exactly where a tumor is and aim the radiation beam right at it.
For one, I can use more effective, higher radiation doses, since I'm treating a very small, precise area—just the tumor—and can exclude the normal, healthy tissue. A smaller treatment area means reduced side effects for my patients.
Really, there is no typical day. That is partly because we treat every patient as an individual. It's also because we take pride in our family-like environment. Of course we deal with the latest and greatest information, but we also make time to be a friend—laugh with the patients, listen to their stories and provide the support they need.
They do! You see it in our annual Cancer Survivors Day. We've successfully treated many patients over the years, so it's a big turnout—with a lot of reasons to celebrate.

Earlier this week, I blogged about about first efforts in Media 21 to use mindmapping as a strategy for thinking and inquiry as well as a springboard for discussion in our Fishbowl groups. One of our creative mindmappers took a few minutes today to share her first two mindmaps that go outside some of the traditional mediums and how mindmapping helps her as a learner.

"Are we going to burn it?" A question about the fate of the future concludes Hazel Carby's Race Men (1998), a powerful academic book about suffocating representations of black American masculinities based on a lecture the author delivered at Harvard. In her newest book, Carby is already burnt, the result of a smoldered past. "Imperial Intimacies is a very British story," she writes in the preface. It is also her story: about growing up after World War II, about her childhood in the area now known as South London, about the family histories of her white Welsh mother and black Jamaican father,

Implementing a Risk Management Plan
April 23, 2012
Does your Non-profit organization have risks? Of course it does, no Non-profit organization is without them. Being properly protected against those risks is something that you can and should choose to do. Here are five tips to get you on the road to implementing risk management program in your Non-profit Organization:
- Identify all of the risks. Some of these can be broad that other organizations face as well but there could also be some risks specific to your organization.
- Determine how vulnerable the Nonprofit Organization is to certain risks.
- Create an emergency plan. The employees and volunteers safety is dependent on this step.
- 4. Purchase sufficient insurance.
- Revise as necessary, especially if you get new equipment or if something new comes up.
When planning your risk management plan, be sure to think of every possible risk; you can never be too safe. Things happen, everyone knows that, but being prepared is key to how fast and efficiently you will get over the bump in the road if an incidnet does occur at your Non-profit Organization.

On Bill of Rights Day: Work to Make Rights Real
Tim Cable
In 1941, Franklin D. Roosevelt proclaimed December 15 Bill of Rights Day, commemorating the 150th anniversary of the founding document's ratification in 1791. December 15 was to be, in Roosevelt's words, "a day of mobilization for freedom and for human rights, a day of remembrance of the democratic and peaceful action by which these rights were gained, a day of reassessment of their present meaning and their living worth."
In this spirit, Bill of Rights Day is an opportunity to look back at the history of individual rights in the United States – to mark our high and low points and assess our progress toward bringing to life the promise of our founding documents.
Ohio Legislature Bent on Making Voting Harder
Nick Worner
Below is an excerpt from an Op/Ed that appeared in The Columbus Dispatch on 12/07/2013.
It's no big secret that manipulating voting laws is a partisan blood sport in Ohio. The controversies of 2004 are the stuff of legend, and in 2012 we saw a voting bill so obviously partisan that the voters themselves organized a ballot referendum to strike it down.

I'm a skincare junkie. You'd need to be a blind person not to have noticed that by now. When a brand that I love, launches something new, I can't wait to try it.
Alpha H is such a dreamy skincare brand which specialises in regulating sensitive skin types and resurfacing overactive skin. The brand's founder, Michelle Doherty started the brand after spending years trying to combat her own adult acne and the brand is credited with being pioneers when it comes to the use of glycolic acid in skincare routines. If you haven't tried anything from the brand, you need to rectify that immediately. Trust me.
They recently launched their Essential Skin Perfecting Moisturiser and when I was kindly offered the chance to trial the product, it was a no brainer but to say yes. Designed as a multi-purpose, time saving beauty product, I couldn't wait to get this on my face.

Artificial lighting plays an important role in our lives. On how effectively it is implemented it depends on our mood and well-being. Let's look at the different types of artificial lighting.
Varieties of lighting
Coverage can be local, and maybecommon. General lighting is important for the functioning of the apartment. A local can be further divided into decorative and functional. The group applies the light next to the mirror, under the kitchen cabinet, on a desk, highlighting elements of the room, or paintings, which we wish to highlight. By separating the light on the local and general can distinguish different types of lamps. They can emit ambient light or use directional flows.
general lighting Features
The main kind of artificial lighting It is common. When using scattered light can ensure that it penetrates everywhere. This can be achieved using the classic chandeliers, luminous balls or hanging lampshades. However, it is important to understand that several reflectors located on the rack does not achieve the same effect. A mounted in the ceiling halogen lamps can provide the required level of illumination is only a fragment of the floor or wall, and the upper part of the room will be in the semi-darkness. As a result, the impression that the light is not enough.
However, a standard bulb will create enoughlight to the entire space. If the coverage of the ceiling to give enough attention, then the whole room looks spacious. This effect does not allow to achieve the ceiling, but this goal is achievable for hanging chandeliers.
Many people prefer to use light,reflected from the surface of the walls and ceiling. The source of this light may be fluorescent lamps, due to which it is possible to achieve a uniform distribution of light. The amount of light they receive, is largely dependent on their size. Even long lights do not consume large amounts of electricity.
Functional lighting and its benefits
This kind of artificial lighting It depends on where it is located, andfrom the place of its execution. It is important to be located above the table lamps were allowed to receive the scattered light. Most correspond to the requirements of luminaires with canopy that covers the bulb.
Located next to a wall or sofa chairlights should be placed, which will provide a sufficient level of light for reading and will be suitable for the decoration of the living room. Floor lamps can meet both of these requirements. A mirror placed near the lamp must not blindly, but to provide enough light for the face. To do this, you need to install light bulbs above a mirror in the lowered ceiling, or above eye level.
Work surfaces should also be welllit - ironing board, desk or countertop kitchen. Desk should also be illuminated. Especially effective in this case the mill directional light with a wide emission angle. And the area around the bed can fill the light of a lamp or a sconce.
The use of decorative lighting
Placed on the walls of photographs and paintingsIt can be lit using embedded in the wall or ceiling luminaires designed. These lamps must emit a halogen light. They can be built into the ceiling or mounted on its base, their shape also differ considerable variety.
Above the pictures you can set specificWall lights. A large wall decorations (eg, Desktop) and the decoration of the walls can be illuminated by a directional light beams received from the located in a row of luminaires intended.
Another method of surface coverageis the use of slots in the ceiling. Here you can apply constant light sources. This decision could give the impression that the wall is infinitely goes up, and the light penetrates into the room from somewhere outside through the crack. And if the walls have decorative texture, then the top of the backlight can be given to particularly good effect.
In this case, can stress chiaroscuro drawingsurface. Lighted decorative niche can be installed using the ceiling lights. Boca or the back of the niche can be made of glass, behind which can be positioned lighting.
Placed on the shelves of things can be dealt withoutside but can be positioned on the shelf and a lamp. Especially intriguing effect has a light that penetrates through the partition. He can get through a section of decorative wall or built-in furniture.
Each type of light has its own characteristics. Considering them, you will be able to choose a suitable light source, which will help in achieving your goals.

I've switched focus as of late to cleverly designed urban sardine cans geared toward young professionals who are willing to forgo full kitchens and make do with Murphy beds, but the tiny house movement is going strong as ever.
Case in point: Diminutive dwelling demigod Jay Shafer is now cooking up an entire tiny house village dubbed the Napoleon Complex in Sonoma County, Calif. (AKA Land of the Tiny House People). Zoned as an RV park with about 40 to 70 petite residences and loosely based on the cohousing model, the intent of the community is to "create a contagious model for responsible, affordable, desirable housing." With a proposed opening date of 2015, I'm thinking that it will be the perfect place for Austin Hay to settle down in after he graduates from college!
And then there's Ryan Mitchell, a Charlotte, N.C.-based tiny house devotee and editor/founder of "tiny lifestyle" website The Tiny Life. A few weeks back, Mitchell launched a Kickstarter campaign that would enable him to create an infographic that tells the story of tiny houses and the people who decided to live in homes of reduced square footage.
A Kickstarter campaign for an infographic? Yep. After embarking on a survey in which more than 2,300 tiny house people responded in under 48 hours, Mitchell knew that he had to share the massive amount of data he had collected in a visually appealing yet informative manner and, well, talented graphic designers cost money. With that, he launched the Kickstarter campaign with the goal of $1,000 to help pay for a designer and bring the infographic to life.
This project is pretty straight forward, we already have all the data from the survey and it is just a matter of getting the graphic made. Our designer has done several projects with us already and is a fan of tiny houses, we have already got a quote from him and are in need of the funds for the project.
That said, Mitchell has already met his goal. But with a few days left until the campaign expires, tiny house lovers can still contribute and receive one — or a few — of the perks associated with backing the project: bumper stickers, an early release of the infographic, a 12-by-8-inch print of the campaign's nifty promotional graphic, and a pre-release of Tiny Life's upcoming ebook "Cracking the Code." Big spenders will even receive a one-hour phone chat with a tiny house guru.
Very cool. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product.

December 15, 2013
Dear friends,
In this past week, the second week of Advent waiting, we have traditionally watched for the coming One by the light of the Peace candle. Events here, however, have underscored the tragic absence of the peace for which we wait.
An intelligent high-achieving senior in a local high school entered the school carrying a shotgun, declaring his intention to kill the teacher who coached his debate team. In the chaos that followed, the targeted teacher was not injured, but several students were injured and one student was critically wounded by a shot to the head. The young man then apparently took his own life.
Editorials and news broadcasters have noted the irony that the shooting occurred shortly after the recent recall of three legislators who had supported increased gun control legislation.
The debate regarding action we should/should-not take as a community to limit easy availability of guns will continue, I am sure, and will likely be carried out at an even higher decibel level. I am not interested in initiating that debate with you readers here, however. I want to raise what I believe to be an even more difficult issue.
As people share their lives with me, the problem of peace appears to be an internal one. To me, there is a powerful straight-forward correlation between lack of peace within and (logically) a resulting absence of peaceful behaviors expressed externally. If I am not at peace with myself it seems logical to expect that I will not act peaceably in relationships with others.
By-passing the heated public debate, I want to approach the issue of violence from a smaller, more personal point of view. In my opinion, collective peace is something that we can all work toward by commonsense work on ourselves.
In my faith, I do this in the hopeful context that He, the Prince of Peace, will sometime come and set things right in our wounded world. But in a more general sense, I believe that communal peace results from peace-keeping practices that we undertake individually within ourselves regardless of the circumstances. Peace keeping is an individual internal discipline, a process in which we undertake to keep peace within ourselves despite the injustice, the hate and violence that at times erupts in the world around us.
So to speak, we all need first to pass internal legislation that governs ourselves. We need to hold ourselves accountable to an internal code that requires us to live at peace within ourselves so that we may act peaceably and so become peace-makers in a world of violence and despair.
As you know, I approach this difficult business of living at peace with myself and, consequently, with others out of a faith perspective.
Jesus said, interestingly enough, "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you . . . . Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." [John 14:27]
When we look at the text carefully something challenging emerges. Jesus gives us peace, but commands us then to live out of a peaceful, untroubled, unfearful inner world. It is, in a general sense of the text, a faithful paraphrase if I say to myself (and to you), "I have been given the gift of peace, but I have to keep the peace I've been given. Absent-minded misplacing of the peace, losing my peace through careless choices, choosing to act in ways that disrupt this gift of peace—none of these things are acceptable. Rather, I must use this peace as the foundation of intentional daily living so that, one day, Jesus can say of me, 'Blessed are you, Gay, for you have lived-out peacemaking as a child of God.' " [Cf. Matt. 5:9]
How do you keep the peace, the Shalom of God that you have been given? If you lose it, how do you get it back?
Thinking with you this week, that as we light the third candle of Advent, the candle of Joy, that there is a profound connection here. Just as hope leads us to peace, peace, in turn leads to Joy.
Waiting with you, in hope, peace and joy.
See you next week.

Your Social Media Posts May Soon Affect Your Credit Score
There's a new reason to be careful when updating your Facebook status. As reported on Investors.com, talking about a weekend of debauchery might lower your credit score.
The Fair Isaac Corporation (or FICO), a credit rating agency, is implementing new strategies for assessing a consumer's creditworthiness. In addition to looking at the information offered on social networking sites, the agency will also be looking at smartphone records.
"If you look at how many times a person says 'wasted' in their profile, it has some value in predicting whether they're going to repay their debt," FICO CEO Will Lansing told the Financial Times.
TransUnion, another credit rating company, is also adding ways to determine a credit score. While the agency will not be using social networking websites, they will add data from payday lending businesses and club memberships.
The agencies both said the new data will supplement the current assessments tools, which include credit card and loan records.
The new credit assessing system is not necessarily intended to negatively impact credit scores. The new method can also give consumers access to credit. FICO reported that nearly 18 million Americans don't have access to credit because they had negative reports in the past. An additional 25 million have never had credit.
In the report, FICO said, "Using the right alternatives to traditional credit bureau data, lenders can reliably identify millions more consumers who qualify for credit."
TransUnion says its new CreditVision system has been able to approve an additional 24% of consumers for auto loan lenders.

Sarah's Weekly Preview – 9/12/10
First, I have to apologize for being absent lately. My excuse? I've been completely wrapped up in the sadly disappointing end of "As the World Turns," and the couple I was watching for: Luke and Reid. Expect a rant dressed up as a column on that soon.Also, just as I sent Mel into the world of "Merlin" and Camelot, she has trapped me in the back of Dean Winchester's Impala. It's so very comfy back there, I don't plan on leaving soon.
So, finally, here is a preview to what to watch this week (this may seem like a repeat of my last preview, but never fear, next week will be better)!
Monday: Rizzoli & Isles. I can't say enough about this show, it's frickin' awesome. God bless you TNT for airing this amazing show. And even if you don't do femmeslash, the lesbian undertones in this show are barely undertones at all. I get why there's so much slash fic for this show running around. Unfortunately the sneek peek from TNT won't embed, so I can only give you the link: http://www.tnt.tv/dramavision/index.jsp?oid=69096&eref=sharethisUrl
Tuesday: The first half of the two-part season finale to "Warehouse 13" on SyFy airs this week! After a season of romance, insanity (literally) and body-swapping, it's sure to be an amazing finale. They go to Egypt y'all, it's bound to be epic. Also, the season finale of "Covert Affairs" on USA.
Wednesday: Because I don't watch reality television, hump day is a dry television day, at least until "Criminal Minds" returns, and even then I'm not that psyched. So I plan on feverishly watching all the seasons of "Supernatural" so far so I can be ready for the sixth season. I suggest you use it to catch up on your favorite show too.
Thursday: The Vampire Diaries on The CW. I still consider myself somewhat a newbie when it comes to show, but I was very much impressed with the acting from all the lead characters last week. Nina Dobrev did amazing with the double-acting of Elena and Catherine, Paul Wesley seemed to realize he wasn't the small screen's Edward Cullen and went from broody to sinister and I loved it. Ian Somerhalder was, of course, brilliant and I'm really looking forward to see how the seaosn goes. After that there's "Nikita," which I also really enjoyed and didn't expect to.
Mel already posted the preview for next week's TVD, so here's the promo for "Nikita"
The Weekend I leave up to you, gentle viewer, since there usually isn't anything on except movies and sports. I plan on spending more time watching Sam brood behind his ever-growing bangs and Dean wolf down some more food.
See you next week when finally television returns!

Do you work with Hoarders?
Yes, I do work with clients who struggle with hoarding tendencies. I do not diagnose hoarding or any other mental or physical health conditions. Many people who contact me asking about working with hoarders are either self-diagnosed or a family member who has diagnosed their loved one. If you truly feel out of control and have concerns that you fit the criteria for a diagnosis as a hoarder, please seek medical advice in addition to contacting an organizer. Organizers working in collaboration with mental health can be very beneficial to the client.
Can you help my ____?
Yes, I can help your loved one, but they have to be on board. Before I agree to meet with anyone in person for organizing help, I always request to talk by phone. I need to talk with the client--the person who's treasures I will be sorting-- to be sure I am a good fit and it is not a hostile environment. Remember, just because their way of living is not agreeable to you does not mean they think they need help, or want help.
How quickly can you clean it up?
This is a tough question and I do not have a standard answer. The situation did not escalate to the current state over night and I can not, and will not clean it up over night. I firmly believe that in order to help the client process parting with their belongings, they need to be very hands on and make most of the decisions. I always want the client to be in charge (not their family or myself.) There is no typical timeline, and with any organizing client, it will be based on their needs.
How much will it cost?
Again, this depends greatly on the time that it takes and the need to bring in other service providers. If the client has family and friends who are willing and able to help move stuff out, haul it away, etc, then it can save the client some money. If it will only be the client and myself processing their keep, sell, toss/recycle, and donations then plan on it taking much longer. Some clients will feel safer as the process moves forward to invite others to help.
Family and friends who are invited by the client to help with the sessions or homework are urged to not engage in blaming or shaming talk or behavior. Clients who are in crisis are fragile and often are feeling some of those emotions already. It is a big step to reach out for help or to allow others to offer it. Encourage with positive talk and encouragement.
Clearing out the excess clutter is only the beginning. Clients who struggle with hoarding tendencies will need to learn some techniques for addressing their habits and spend time setting up systems to help them maintain their homes long term. Again, I really suggest working with a therapist. Consider finding someone who works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT.) You can find local therapists by contacting your insurance or looking online. Psychology Today provides an online directory and you can specify what you are looking for.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions that you have about my work with clients. I am always happy to answer questions by phone or email!

I am a huge fan of the Vengeance Road series. I was lucky enough to read an early copy of Retribution Rails, and it is certainly one of my favorite books of the year so far. Erin Bowman's world building and dialogue is expertly done and some of the best I've had the pleasure of reading.
One of my favorite things about Retribution Rails is that one of the main characters in the story, Charlotte Vaughn, is an aspiring journalist, and her dream is to follow in the footsteps of actual journalist from that time period, Nellie Bly!
I loved learning about Nellie in this book, and wanted to find out even more about her after I was done. Here are a few fun facts about this inspirational woman!
About Nellie Bly
Nellie was born on May 5, 1864.
Nellie was a ground-breaking American journalist.
Nellie was well-known for her record-breaking trip around the world in 72 days, which was inspired by Jules Verne's book.
Nellie once faked insanity in order to study and report on an insane asylum from within.
Her journalistic career was launched when she wrote a rebuttal to a highly aggressive and misogynistic article in a newspaper called "What Girls are Good For." The editor was so impressed with her writing, he offered her the opportunity to write another piece for the newspaper.
Nellie was a writer, industrialist, inventor, and charity worker.
Nellie was inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame in 1998.
About Retribution Rails
Title: Retribution Rails
Author: Erin Bowman
Pub. Date: November 7, 2017
Publisher: HMH Books for Young Readers
Pages: 384
When Reece Murphy is forcibly dragged into the Rose Riders gang because of a mysterious gold coin in his possession, he vows to find the man who gave him the piece and turn him over to the gang in exchange for freedom. Never does he expect a lead to come from an aspiring female journalist. But when Reece's path crosses with Charlotte Vaughn after a botched train robbery and she mentions a promising rumor about a gunslinger from Prescott, it becomes apparent that she will be his ticket to freedom—or a noose. As the two manipulate each other for their own ends, past secrets are unearthed, reviving a decade-old quest for revenge that may be impossible to settle.
In this thrilling companion to Vengeance Road, dangerous alliances are formed, old friends meet new enemies, and the West is wilder than ever.
Have your read Vengeance Road just yet? Will you be reading Retribution Rails when it hits shelves in November?

We welcomed Denison Witmer to the AK Family just a couple of months ago. We've been listening to his latest record, The Ones Who Wait, for a while now, and we're honored that we get to release to the wide world – which means you!
This record is really something special. You can read the whole story here, but suffice to say that The Ones Who Wait represents the culmination of several significant life experiences, ones that we all go through at some point. And this is what Denison has always done best: he writes and sings songs that are markedly intimate, yet appeal to all of us. They are human events, captured on tape for all of us to share.
You can buy the album on Bandcamp here or on iTunes here, or order the CD from our shop here.
Denison is touring with William Fitz Simmons – tourdates here – but he's also touring via Skype (yes, Skype!). You can win a Skype tourdate on My Old Kentucky Blog right here.

How do you film one of the best SF books ever written?
Dune is a novel that every science fiction fan has heard of, and most have read, not only for its ideas but also for its memorable prose. It features byzantine political maneuverings and a multi-planet cast. What's more, it's already been filmed, by David Lynch in 1984, and that movie has a devoted cult following.
John Harrison's three-part miniseries for the Sci Fi Channel, Frank Herbert's Dune, succeeds despite these difficulties. It's entertaining as a drama, and unquestionably it's Dune. The central story of Paul Atreides' transcendent quest for self-knowledge, his family's battles with House Harkonnen, and his abiding love for the Fremen girl, Chani, carries the miniseries, despite some flaws. While Harrison, who also adapted the book, is reasonably faithful to Frank Herbert's text, he's not particularly faithful to Herbert's characters, which will dismay purists. Still, he tells the story well.
A quick plot summary: Duke Leto Atreides (William Hurt), his concubine Jessica (Saskia Reeves), and their son Paul (Alec Newman) are sent to take control of the desert planet Dune (its real name is Arrakis) by the Emperor Shaddam IV (Giancarlo Giannini). Dune is the sole source of spice, a foodstuff that lengthens life, produces visions and, most importantly, allows space travel. In order for civilization to survive, the spice must flow. Meanwhile, House Harkonnen, led by the corpulent Baron Vladimir (Ian McNeice), schemes to bring about the downfall of House Atreides. After some reverses, Paul, trained in the ways of Bene Gesserit witchcraft by his mother, discovers mystical powers in himself. He joins the Fremen, a nomadic people living in the far deserts, falls in love with Chani (Barbora Kodetova), a Fremen woman, and eventually leads the Fremen to battle the Harkonnen and their allies in a guerrilla war in order to realize the dream of a green, lush Arrakis.
There's a lot happening in the story, but Harrison keeps us grounded in the central characters: the Atreides family, the Harkonnens, and Chani. They are convincing and moving. We recognize the strength of the Atreides' love for one another; we see the chemistry between Paul and Chani; we get our face rubbed in the evil of the Harkonnens. The power of their human bonds carries us through the larger plot. Hurt is a low-key but dignified Leto; Reeves, a strong-minded, beautiful, and devoted Jessica. The character of Paul is particularly strong: Newman makes us believe in his growth as a character from boy to leader of millions.
Harrison has humanized this story, grounding it in recognizable features of our present world while downplaying the novel's complicated future history. The Fremen villages look as if they've been transplanted directly from North Africa. The various nobles and the Emperor recall medieval pageantry, pomp, and splendor with their feasting and dancing. Dune's deserts look just like those on Earth. There are enough startling developments to allow you to retain your sense of wonder, but the strangeness itself is not overwhelming or intrusive. Some might consider this a flaw, since to achieve this, Harrison sheds some details: the Butlerian Jihad, the Orange Catholic Bible, the family atomics, drum sand, the superhuman powers of the mentat, the effects of Suk conditioning. However, it allows the characters to interact in a more natural setting, and lets us focus our attention on their relationships and their actions rather than on the background, which is, after all, the background.
The biggest departure from the novel is in the juicy role created for the Princess Irulan (Julie Cox). A nonentity in the novel, here she rises parallel to Paul, as she develops from her youth and naivete to become an active participant in schemes and plots. She flits about on the outskirts of various negotiations and skulduggery, dances in outrageous costumes, seduces, schemes, and suggests. Her active presence throughout the miniseries is, I think, another step in making the series understandable and less complex; Irulan plays a large role in the denouement of the story, and her increased presence throughout makes the end result more intelligible. I think this change is actually for the better. This major structural change obscures Harrison's respect for the words of the book: in general, he keeps the dialogue very close to Herbert's words. To give Irulan a greater role, Harrison lifts lines from other characters and gives them to her.
Harrison does not ignore the planet Dune or its denizens. The intricate ecosystem tying together the spice and the mighty sandworms is one of Herbert's most famous creations, and Harrison does a good job of letting the characters discover the truth about the planet.
The Shai-Hulud, the great sandworm, plays an enormous part in the ecology of the planet Dune, the plot of the novel, and, I think, the success of a visual version of Dune. The sandworm is the most striking visual image in the book, and so the "money shot" for a Dune film is a sandworm erupting out of the ground, mouth agape. The miniseries pulls it off in grand style: all I could do was sit there and gape, with a goofy grin on my face, as I got my first glimpse of a worm. The shots of a tribe of Fremen on board a worm vanishing into the distance are haunting.
The Fremen are another high point for the series. We see them at play in their villages, at work, in battle, and at prayer, while Moorish, North African, and Arab music plays in the background. The principal Fremen, Chani, Stilgar (Uwe Ochesnknecht), and Liet/Kynes (Karel Dobry), are excellent -- Dobry in particular is a standout, radiating charisma and honorable dignity as the Imperial planetologist with a secret. The strange culture of the Fremen, the combination of harshness and messianic yearning which makes them the perfect soldiers, comes through very strongly. Their blue, blue eyes, caused by their proximity to the spice, are an eye catching special effect, and they flash from blue to "normal" as the light hits them, which is a nice touch.
Unfortunately, the rest of the special effects don't measure up. The problem is not so much the computer-generated special effects themselves, which are adequate: it's meshing them to the "real" parts of the filming, so that they don't seem like artificially-smooth constructs. The tech isn't the most important part of the story, so even when your disbelief stops being suspended and hits the ground with a thump, the central characters can carry the plot themselves.
The central characters shine at the expense of the many advisors who have crucial roles in Herbert's book. These include the rival Mentats Thufir Hawat (Jan Vlasak) and Piter Devries (Jan Unger), Suk Doctor Wellington Yueh (Robert Russell II), and Count Fenring (Pavel Kriz). The aides are like the parade of archbishops and earls that populate a Shakespearean history play -- they lurk in the periphery of several scenes, uttering a few lines, and then are relegated to the dustbin of history -- and they serve the same purpose: to give lip service to the original text. Perhaps Harrison felt that he needed to include them in a limited role as a tribute to the book; I think he'd have done better to eliminate some of these folks rather than keep them in their present, gutted form. Only Gurney Halleck (P.H. Moriarty) is given a lot of screen time. It's a pity -- Moriarty can't pull the role off. Halleck is a master knifeman and a master musician, and Moriarty looks over the hill, slow, fat, and fumble-fingered.
The villains receive better treatment. This is a miniseries, so the plot needs to be partially recapped at the beginning of every episode. Baron Harkonnen turns this possible negative into a positive. He is a glorious villain, delivering his lines with gleeful aplomb, ending his nasty little speeches with a rhyming couplet and self-delighted wicked tittering. Harrison has integrated the plot summary into the story itself, and it's a pleasure to watch. The scenes at the Harkonnen palace are also shot with an unsteady, teetering camera and a strange red light, which suffuses the place with a satanic charm, with the Baron as a laughing Pazuzu flitting about on his hoverchair, and Feyd-Rautha (Matt Keeslar) languidly posing and recounting his gladiatorial prowess.
The one-on-one fights are the high point of the action. They are well choreographed and gripping. They move quickly but not confusingly, and (with the exception of Gurney) all of the fighters look like they know what they're doing. The other action sequences pale in comparison, particularly the Fremen raids. The combats are muddy and unclear, a swirling chaos of bodies slowly flailing about with knives. That's probably what a real battle looks like, but it's not good drama. However, all of the individual duels and waving knives set the scene for the climactic knife fight, with the fate of the Empire on the line, which is particularly satisfying.
The Dune miniseries pulled in the Sci Fi Channel's highest-ever Nielsen ratings. That's not a fluke. It's for broad tastes. As a less-than-scrupulous adaptation, it's not for the finicky. It's also not going to convert fans of David Lynch's movie; it's an entirely different approach to the text. However, in my opinion, it's worthy of bearing the name Dune, which is about the highest praise I can give.
Frank Herbert's Dune will be released on VHS on Wednesday, January 23.

We have been busy putting up our new greenhouse! The frame was delivered before Thanksgiving, and we have the frame completely up – this week we're doing the endwalls and hoping to get the plastic on too. Come by anytime to check out our progress – it's right next to the new barn in the Cuvilly parking lot, you can't miss it.
We pounded in 32 groundposts, 2 and a half feet deep into the soil to anchor the frame, then assembled the bows, crossties and purlins – the frame is up! Some incredible volunteers with serious carpentry skills have been helping the whole way, including leveling and plumbing the groundposts so the frame went up straight and level.

Along with all the new features of the millennium dating style, comes these important adult date tips:

2. Establish a personality check. Find out as much as possible about your person of interest. Don't be afraid to snoop around and ask personal questions to see who that person has met online.

5. So you've decided to take the plunge and meet, have you thought about the actual meeting place and time? A dark, obscure alley at 9 pm is probably not the ideal place. Make plans for a busy place, such as a cafe, restaurant or even a nightclub.
So there you have it, the most important adult dating tips you will ever need to know before taking those first steps in online cyber dating. You can never be too sure who you are going to encounter, however you can go by these basic and essential recommendations to minimise your risks and maximise your joyful experience. Good luck!

Come and walk in the very heart of children's author Malcolm Saville's Lone Pine country, at the southern end of the Long Mynd, passing by 'Witchend' and 'Ingles Farm'. Afterwards you may be inspired to (re)read Mystery at Witchend and re-live some of the Lone Pine Club adventures for yourself!
This is a circular route taking us up to the ancient Portway, running along the top of the Long Mynd, and including some of the key locations in the Lone Pine books, 11 of which were set in Shropshire. Two committee members from the Malcolm Saville Society (website) will lead this walk and explain the links to people and places in these much-loved stories, written and published between 1943 (Mystery at Witchend) and 1978 (Home to Witchend). For most of the walk we will be following the route walked with Clare Balding in 2011 for her BBC Radio 4 Ramblings series, when she joined walkers and members of the Malcolm Saville Society for one of her 'Literary Walks' – Walk 6 from Robert Smart's Church Stretton & Shropshire Walks (2007).
When we return to 'Ingles Farm' (Hamperley) the owners have offered to provide us with tea/coffee and cake.
Please note that parking is courtesy of Chris & Kirsty Foulkes (of Hamperley Farm) and there is a small charge of £3 for the refreshments, payable on the day.

We want you to sign up for our co-creation workshops, so you can help us make dangerously fun stories you'll love. We're pioneering a new technique in making theatre, film and virtual reality. We call it audience-centred storytelling, and it's all about getting our audience in before a word is written, and testing our ideas with you. Ultimately, we want to create stories you'll love, and the easiest way to do it is to ask! http://eepurl.com/lF2O9
The usual way to make a piece of art is to have an idea, and then use a huge amount of physical and emotional effort to make it. Then, once it's finished, hope the world wants to see it. Most of the time, sadly, the world is a cruel butthead and does not want to see it. So we took the big fat brains of smarter people in the worlds of human-centred design, lean, agile and design thinking, smooshed their techniques together and created audience-centred storytelling.
We have an idea, and we take it to a diverse group of people who will ultimately be our audience. We show you our idea in its embryonic form, and seek your feedback. At the same time we find out what you, our audience wants, likes, needs from entertainment. We use that feedback to reiterate or redraft our idea in its simplest form. Rinse and repeat until we've developed a concept we know you like and will watch. We continue to advance the concept stage by stage with our audience until it's released.
Why go to the ridiculous amount of effort making movies, theatre and virtual reality unless we know you wanna see 'em? So, let's find out what you think is dangerously fun. Sign up to our list: we only ever use it to offer opportunities to co-create with us.
If you have any questions, ask Simon J Green via firstname.lastname@example.com or Messenger (voice messages welcome!)

How To Make Fresh Mozzarella
If you want you to learn How To Make Fresh Mozzarella cheese at home, then you must take a look at my tutorial. You see, I am not a professional web designer, but I do love making Mozzarella using cultures and I definitely want to share it with you.
I must say, my fresh mozzarella recipe is different, being the Mozzarella cheese making process takes longer than the two-hour and 30 minute universal recipe that is all over the web. However, the finished product has more flavor and is much closer to the Fresh Mozzarella made in Italy.
Making Mozzarella is so much fun and once you get the hang of it, you will be able to do it with your eyes closed. It has become a part of my life and you can make so many things with it, such as fresh mozzarella pizza, calzones, tomato mozzarella salad, and much more!
There are many different factors that can make or break a good batch of Mozzarella cheese and I will cover these factors in my tutorial. For this reason, this tutorial is not short but if you read it completely, you shouldn't have any problems with this easy homemade mozzarella recipe! So Click Here get started, Ciao!
Kefir Yogurt Recipe
When learning How to make Fresh Mozzarella, I've tried many different cultures but the cultures found in kefir Yogurt are definitely my preferred choice. One reason that I like using Kefir is that it is extremely healthy! One of the Kefir Yogurt benefits is it's very healthy for the digestive system and it contains probiotics. You may ask me how to make kefir at home? Well, I could make a Kefir Yogurt Recipe page, but it's so easy! In a nutshell, you place several tablespoons of Kefir grains in a jar and placed one cup of store-bought or raw milk in it. Place a lid on it and let it sit in a dark environment for 24 hours (I usually put it in my kitchen cabinet) and you have Kefir Yogurt! It is just that simple. The more milk you add, the longer it will take for the fermentation, but you will develop an eye for when the yogurt is ready. Once ready, place it in your fridge and there you go. The one thing that I want to add, most grocery stores sell Kefir Yogurt, but it is different all around and I do not recommend using it to make Mozzarella. If you have any problems with the Kefir Yogurt Recipe, please fill out my contact form and I will get back with you as soon as possible.
Italian Pizza Recipe
Being of Italian descent and visiting family in Italy on many occasions, I can tell you that Italian pizza is the best, but the Italian Pizza Recipe is very simple!
The key here is using the right Mozzarella and using a wood-burning oven. Believe it or not, you can find a decent wood-burning pizza oven on wheels at Sam's Club for about $400. Though it is somewhat small, it works great with the Italian Pizza Recipe and with the right cheese, you are going to make a lot of friends!
Here in America, Mozzarella is made using citric acid as opposed to cultures. Let me tell you, what a difference it makes! Though both are classified as mozzarella cheese, recipes using cultures and using citric acid makes a product that is basically a different kind of cheese altogether. Mozzarella cheese with citric acid is salty and without much taste. However, Mozzarella with cultures is not as salty and has much more flavor. It is also much juicier and when used with the Italian Pizza Recipe, you get a much more favorable and juicy pizza!
I have made a small tutorial of my Italian Pizza Recipe using a wood burning oven, Click Here to get started.

Numbers could be a little bit bigger but at all it's a nice face.
May 27, 2015 | Version 1.0
I like this a lot but without a battery meter in the watch face, it makes it a difficult face to have permanently.
April 19, 2015 | Version 1.0
Is it possible for the animated numbers (seconds hand) to be seen permanently instead of by gesture? It would be a big hit! Showing for only a few seconds is not as useful as constant viewing, or jumping (if you will)....

InnerWorkings' quick and thorough results surprised Unilever executives. The InnerWorkings program "is the first of its kind to be implemented within printed point-of-sales material" at Unilever, according to a recent newsletter from the global consumer goods leader. "We anticipate this transition will help lead to similar progressions in other Unilever markets," stated the newsletter.
InnerWorkings accelerates Unilever's move to sustainable sources of wood-based materials throughout its entire North American market.
Six years ago, Unilever pledged to boost revenue by 100% while cutting its environmental footprint in half by 2020. As one of Unilever's top global partners and its exclusive North American print provider, InnerWorkings is committed to the consumer package goods giant's environmental pledge, specifically reducing its environmental impact by relying solely on sustainable sources of paper and pulp.
In partnership, we led Unilever's move toward responsible sources of paper, board, and labels in its entire North American print market in 2015.
achieving Unilever's environmental goals together
To reduce Unilever's global environmental impact, we have collaborated with the consumer goods leader to meet specific goals, which include switching to:
- 75% sustainable wood-based fiber material by 2015
- 100% sustainable wood-based fiber material by 2020
Not only did we meet Unilever's environmental goals, but we exceeded them. We proposed switching to 100% sustainable paper, board, and labels in Unilever's entire North American market by Jan. 1, 2015 and delivered on our pledge.
We found sustainable sources for nearly all (93 percent) of the millions in wood-based fiber spend we manage for Unilever in the U.S. The early transition has also saved thousands of trees. More importantly, by tapping our proprietary database of U.S. printers certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), we achieved this goal without increasing costs.
taking the long view
By reducing Unilever's North American environmental footprint ahead of schedule, we demonstrated our value as an elite Unilever partner. More work remains, however. Over the next 3 years, InnerWorkings and Unilever plan to enhance the sustainability of Unilever's man-made materials within the U.S.

The Oral Proficiency Interview (OPI) is taken before and after the immersion program. The purpose of this test is to measure the change in the NSLI-Y scholar's oral proficiency in the target language from before the program to after. This is useful for NSLI-Y and the State Department to see whether or not the NSLI-Y program improves its scholars' ability to speak a foreign language.
The OPI is offered in practically every language spoken throughout the world. I took my test in Mandarin Chinese. My interviewer called me promptly at the time I signed up for, and my interview lasted for about 25 minutes. During the interview, I solely spoke Chinese to my interviewer. Some of the topics we talked about were: my family, friends, school, sports, travel, cooking, and other activities. We then did a role-playing activity to simulate something that may occur in China. My simulation was that I borrowed my interviewer's laptop but something went wrong. I had to explain what happened, and then offer a solution to fix the issue.
I was pretty scared before my interview, especially because I had only just completed Chinese 2 at my high school. However, my interviewer was very nice and gladly repeated herself when it was clear I was struggling.
