favor-"ette": a bacon tip
As I was making dinner the other night I realized I've never shared one of my favorite cooking tips of all time!
I mean, is there anything better than bacon?
And is there anything more annoying than cooking bacon?
Till now.
This was a tip I learned literally decades ago, and it was a game changer. Oven baked bacon means no spattering, no greasy pan to clean, and – most importantly – perfectly flat pieces of bacon that are also perfectly cooked.
What are you waiting for???
1 pound bacon (or as much/as little as you need)
Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees; line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
Place the bacon on the bacon sheets so that they are lying flat and not touching each other. Bake for about 15 minutes or till brown and crisp, rotating the pans top to bottom halfway through.
Transfer to paper towels to drain; serve immediately.

How do you reserve the grease? It is a cherished extra of fried bacon. And a must-have for many other southern dishes.

You may have seen them, a pair of small whistles that you attach to your vehicle to scare deer away and prevent collisions with them. The intent is for the movement of your vehicle to force air through them and produce sound, or ultrasound that keeps deer off the highway and safely out of your path. The answer hasn't changed from the first time I wrote about this in the 1990's, keep your money in your pocket, they don't work.

With all the off-road looking trucks on the road, I would like to know if there is a law regarding the height of bumpers and head lights on all vehicles. Some of these seem extremely dangerous in the event of an accident. The bumpers are at window height for most cars and the lights are blinding to other drivers at night.
There is little doubt in my mind that one of the most popular add on accessories for vehicles is some type of light. I was asked recently to comment by a visitor to the DriveSmartBC web site who said that he had noticed rectangular LED light bars in the bumpers and on the roofs of trucks and SUVs. While it is possible that some of these lamps are legal for use on the highway, many are not. The question is, how do you tell?
I have a McGregor sailboat on a trailer, and many yeard ago the brakes rusted out (salt water) and I had to have them taken out in order to move. The rest of the trailer is quite sound.

Heroin is sexy. Being a user is cool. Movies featuring beautiful actors running in the rain are made about drug and alcohol addicts. They are thin, strung out and amazing brilliant artists if they could just get over their one problem.
This, by contrast, is not the same for fat people with food and sugar addictions. "I ate an entire bag of Oreos in one sitting, I finished a jar of peanut butter watching Game of Thrones, or I can never eat just one cheese burger." These statements are not hot or okay.
I drank too much last night might bring a responds of, "Oh wow you must be so hungover."
Unlike I ate an entire pizza and three pieces of cheesecake might bring the responds of, "What's wrong with you?" with a side snicker of, "That's why he's so fat, he can't control himself."

"I have done as thou hath commanded, my King." The young knight bowed low at the throne of the Great King Tiberius.
"Indeed. And what hath I commanded?"
"My lord, thou hath sent me out, beyond the Great Forrest, across the White River, to slay the dragon."
"Thou hath done what?" The Great King lifted himself off his throne with anger. The frightened knight cowered.
"My lord?…Is something wrong?"
"Tell me again, what thou hath done sir knight, lest my ears deceive me."
The knight was shaken. Had he misspoke? Surely, he had told his king the truth. Maybe more slowly, that way his lips would spread the truth. "Oh…of course my lord. I went beyond the forrest, across the river, to slay the dragon."
There was a deafen silence in the hall. All eyes were on the Great King. He seemed to be in tremendous pain.
"Curses on you sir knight. Curses on you, and your household forever."
"My lord?"
"I did not command thy to go forth and slay the dragon. Your own ears have deceived you. For I commanded, 'Go, and pray to the dragon.' That dragon was our protector, our safety. What evil hath thou brought on my kingdom?"

Cape Town - Saturday's Super Rugby clash between the Stormers and the Lions at Newlands will see two starkly different yet equally important flyhalves lock horns.
This is according to Stormers coach Allister Coetzee, who heaped praise on both number 10s in the build-up to a match that has the potential to end the Lions' playoff ambitions while securing the Stormers top spot in the South African conference.
Catrakilis (154) is the second highest points scorer in the competition this season while Jantjies (150) is third.
Jantjies' form this season has catapulted him into Springbok contention. His ability to get his side on the front foot through accurate passing at precise moments has been a facet of his game that hasn't gone unnoticed. He has read the game well, taken the ball to the line with ease and, perhaps most importantly, his goal kicking has improved in leaps and bounds.
Catrakilis, meanwhile, has been rock solid for the Stormers – slotting over 90% of his kicks at goal this season. Where Jantjies is flashy and doesn't fear taking the low percentage option, Catrakilis is a metronome – his consistency with the boot his finest asset.
Coetzee worked with Jantjies at the Stormers in 2013, and he is full of praise for the 24-year-old left-footer.
"Elton has been really outstanding for the Lions. In terms of his basics as a 10 he's really been good at that. His kicking out of hand has been good and his kicking at goal has been decent," said Coetzee.
"His attacking game has really opened up a lot of opportunities for good running. He also takes the ball up to the line and takes the responsibility on himself when he has to. He's been good at making decisions, he's been good at controlling the game."
Coetzee said that the Stormers were aware of Jantjies' ability, and that they had plans to minimise his impact.
"We will look to contain the set-piece and make sure that it is not just on their terms all the time that he gets good ball," said the coach.
"A good player will be able to make time and room for himself, so it is pointless focusing on him. But if we control the set piece then we can put pressure on him."
But Coetzee, while acknowledging his admiration for Jantjies, is more than happy with his own flyhalf.
"He (Catrakilis) hardly gets the credit, but he is really solid," Coetzee said of his number 10.
"He is maybe not the flashy type … but he controls things for us with his boot very well and he knocks the points over when we need that.
"I think his X-factor is that he can sit in the pocket and knock over drop goals. He's also gotten our three-quarters away very nicely, I think we've scored some good tries which is a very underrated thing about his attack.
"He's really been good for us."
Kick-off on Saturday is at 17:05.

These gray hairs do not lie (1)
The first blush of love
Hello there, dear grandchild. Why don't you come in and take a seat, near me here? Take a load off your feet, won't you? See how you've grown, dear child. Do you remember how we used to cuddle up when you were little and in my house for the weekends? Oh, I miss those days, those days when you were little and your grandmother was your best friend.
Yes, I miss those days, but I also love days like this. You know, with you grown and being able to talk sense with me, for me to be able to have a meaningful conversation with you.
Oh, baby, I can see the glow in your eyes, those emotion spots on your cheeks. And believe you me, your grandmother used to have those too, back in the days. You are in the first blush of love. Continue reading "These grey hairs don't lie"

There was a point when Gary Phillips didn't think he needed to graduate from Wharton.
A pre-med student at Penn in the 1980s, Phillips dropped the Wharton half of his College and Wharton dual degree in order to graduate in three years in 1987.
A year later, Phillips began studying medicine at the School of Medicine and was later presented another option: the chance to study in Wharton again, this time on an MBA track.
Phillips, still interested in business, saw the opportunity and took it. In 1991, he graduated from Wharton with an MBA. The following year, he received his M.D. from the University's medical school, graduating from Penn's M.D./MBA program.
Today, Phillips is not a practicing doctor, although he keeps his license active. Instead, Phillips is the senior vice president and chief strategy officer of Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals, where he is responsible for strategy, mergers, acquisitions and other financial matters.
Phillips admits that he doesn't need his M.D. to work in his current role. But for him, as with many other graduates of Penn's M.D./MBA program, it was still a worthwhile pursuit.
"I feel like I'm good at what I do in part because of the M.D."
In a society where health care and business are becoming increasingly intertwined, recent research has demonstrated there are benefits to having both a business and a medical background. In a paper to be published in September 2014, researchers at Wharton and the Perelman School of Medicine have found that Penn's M.D./MBA program had a positive effect on the careers of its alumni.
Having both an M.D. and an MBA "allows you to wear multiple hats and see unique perspectives, and there's really a need for people with that kind of training," explained Mitesh Patel, an author of the paper who also graduated from the dual degree program.
With the health care reform debate emerging into the national spotlight — notably with the changes brought on by the Affordable Care Act — business is playing a larger role in the medical field.
"How health and health care are going to improve in the next decade is going to be just as important in terms of management and the financing of health care as it is in new discoveries and basic science," Patel said.
Founded in 1971, Penn's joint program — one of the oldest and largest in the nation — helps students prepare for the changing health care landscape. The program allows a medical student to apply to Wharton's MBA in Health Care Management Program in their third year or later and complete both degrees in a total of five years.
The article by Patel and his colleagues, which is the first to study M.D./MBA dual degrees on a large scale, found that most of the program's 247 total graduates between 1981 and 2010 were overwhelmingly satisfied with their education and resulting careers.
Phillips noted that his medical education was extremely helpful in guiding his company to an investment of more than $7 billion in recent transactions.
"In each case, I have to think, 'If I were a doctor thinking about using this product, would I use it?'" Phillips said. "I'm constantly looking at technology and using my clinical hat to say, 'Is there a need for this?'"
The study also revealed that "physicians that had gotten their M.D./MBA 20 years ago are now in leadership and management roles, and not necessarily within hospitals," Patel noted. While 80 percent of alumni entered residency, less than half are still clinically practicing.
"There has been a change in the career paths of people going through this program," explained Wharton professor Mark Pauly, a co-author of the study. "When it started, it was very unusual for physicians to study business. And in fact, organized medicine was, it's safe to say, hostile towards doctors thinking of what they do as a business."
But now, with the monetization of health care, "people are more comfortable with the idea that health care is a business," Pauly said.
"I think what we're seeing is that more of our graduates who were M.D.s are actually sticking with health care as a business now and sticking with the clinical part," Pauly continued. "Now, they're more looking to get an MBA to see how to make the health care system better."
David Fajgenbaum, a 2013 Perelman graduate and current MBA student, aims to do just that. After losing his mother to cancer when he was an undergraduate at Georgetown University, he decided that he would dedicate his life to fighting cancer.
At Penn's medical school, he dove straight into studying oncology. However, his knowledge of public health — he received an MPH in Cancer Epidemiology and Cancer Prevention at Oxford University after graduating from Georgetown — gave him a population-wide perspective, which led to his dissatisfaction with the current medical landscape.
"I was very disappointed with the drugs available in the cancer space," Fajgenbaum said. He believed that drugs should be both more effective and cheaper than they were at the time. "I realized that I really wanted to be part of advancing therapy in the cancer space."
Fajgenbaum realized that the best way to realize his goal of "speeding up the pace of discovery" — which would require connecting pharmaceutical companies, advocacy groups, academia and patient care — was to get an MBA in health care management.
"During medical school, I got excellent training on how to treat the patients right in front of me. But what I didn't get was an education about how patients fit within the larger health care system," Fajgenbaum explained.
While the majority of alumni were satisfied with their experiences in the dual-degree program, the study by Penn researchers found that some alumni felt pigeon-holed into medical projects while working the business sector.
One student, who wished to remain anonymous due to the upcoming residency application process, found that working towards two degrees was sometimes actually a hindrance during his Wharton MBA internship application process this past year.
"When I went to the interviews and talked to people, they were intrigued by the background, but they didn't really know what to make of people like us," he said. Recruiters often asked him about residency, hinting at the possibility of continuing with the business job after graduation. Unable to outright lie, the student felt "trapped."
Even with the added burden of an extra year on top of 15 years of post-secondary education, a large majority of alumni surveyed considered the dual degree a worthwhile tradeoff, pointing out that its value really depended on the person's career.
"If someone wants to practice and also wants to be a part of leadership in the hospital, serve on committees, potentially become the medical director or be involved in the administration of the hospital then I think the MBA is incredibly valuable," Fajgenbaum noted. "You learn really, really valuable things in an MBA that I think would help every doctor."

Art Show Absorption @ Anaid Art Gallery
Friday, November 8th, 2013 – 19:00
Anaid Art Gallery in collaboration with Bazis presents
"ABSORPTION", artists:
Zsolt Berszán, István Betuker, Mircea But, Kyle Fitzpatrick, Adrian Ghiman, Pavel Grosu, Bandi Saşa, Rashid Uri, Szabolcs Veres
Friday, 8th of November 2013, at 07:00 p.m. will take place at Anaid Art Gallery the opening of the group exhibition "Absorption"; the participant artists are Zsolt Berszán, István Betuker, Mircea But, Kyle Fitzpatrick, Adrian Ghiman, Pavel Grosu, Bandi Saşa, Rashid Uri, Szabolcs Veres, curator Diana Dochia. The persons who are found of contemporary art will be able to visit de exhibition during 8th of November – 31st of January 2014.
"Absorption" offers a way of probing the interplay of contemporary society through new modes of artistic interpretation. The nine artists chosen to shape the exhibition project "Absorption" propose new ways of relating and integrating the artistic representation of contemporary art addressing problems both in the content and the form.."Absorption" is the result of the collaboration between the artists that form the core of the contemporary art space Bazis in Cluj Napoca – Zsolt Berszán, István Betuker and Szabolcs Veres, and the invited artists Mircea But, Bandi Saşa, Pavel Grosu, Adrian Ghiman, graduates of the University of Art and Design in Cluj Napoca, and two artists from aboard that, during the year of 2013, benefited from a residency program at Bazis, namely the artists Kyle Fitzpatrick (USA) and Rashid Uri (Italy).
"Absorption" proposes two ways of interpreting the works of the nine artists: a radicalization of the pictorial discourse by using action painting full of force and colour where are brought into discussion issues related to form and composition and a representation that is truncated, distorted of a dehumanized and fragmentary society. The nine artists approach the idea of destruction, death, decay, as being the point 0 (zero) of creation. Bandi Saşa is preocupaied by the malignant evil of contemporary society. At the antipole, Kyle Fitzpatrick proposes a confrontation with matter after the loss of mystery. The works of Adrian Ghiman bring into discussion the ideas of self-destruction, decay, sickness that lead to a split representation of the world. At Pavel Grosu the act of destruction triggers the creative act; the idea of death becomes a pretext to question new ways of artistic expression. Szabolcs Veres fragmentizes the human figure, and after that he recomposes it within an unusal order that triggers a new type of grotesque deformed sensuality. Betuker proposes a series of portraits that are completely depersonalized as a result of composition and colour exercises. At Zsolt Berszán everything becomes fluid materiality, absorptive, organic. In this way, distorted surfaces and strange structures appear and describe a non-finite of the beginning and end. Mircea But is interested in investigating the pictorial possibilities of representation that appear as a result of some fractures of gestural rhythm between natural and artificial. Rashid Uri captures the evironment in continuous motion by paying sharp attention to the dynamics of the pictorial gesture.
At first reading "Absorption" is an exhibition about the materiality representation method , but after a multiple readings we can see that the exhibition explores the human being abyss.
The exhibition "Absorption" was designed in collaboration with Bazis contemporary art space in Cluj-Napoca
Anaid Art Gallery invites you to make an incursion in contemporary art from Monday until Friday: 11:00 a.m. – 07:00 p.m. and Saturday: 10:00 a.m. – 06:00 p.m.
Curator: Diana Dochia

Saraswati (72) entered the artisan business because of her love of art. She observed women from economically weaker sections of society take interest in crafts. But, she also noticed that due to time constraint and lack of opportunity they never pursued their hobbies. "I thought why not teach them the skills and then they can spend their time doing something they like. And so, I started making products with their help." After this, the company Panigha formed quite organically.
Mother Knows Best
Saraswati's daughter, Vinita (44), works with her mother to make Panigha a booming business. As a young girl, she grew up watching her mother design and handcraft items. Saraswati decided to gradually teach her daughter these skills during summer vacations. This led to their shared passion for design and love for handmade products; the reason they craft items together.
According to Saraswati, the best part of crafting together is when their ideas differ. "After long discussions we finally take a decision. You know, it's actually these different ideas that help us come up with unique designs." And Vinita must admit that at most times, mother knows best. "Experience wins!"
Thank you amma…for everything.
For the Love of Handmade
They use a variety of handicraft techniques to create their handmade items. A few of these are embroidering, crochet work, applique work, tie-dye and blockprint. Moreover, their items are made with natural fabrics like cotton, silk, linen & jute. And they purchase these materials from local stores as well as from artisans in other villages. Once they have gathered all the necessary materials, the crafting can begin.
Each piece at Panigha is entirely handmade with a huge amount of skill and care. Therefore, Saraswati and Vinita imagine their customers to be people who love handmade products and respect the efforts an artisan puts in each unique product. And they love that through the Discovered online marketplace, artisans and lovers of handmade items can come together in one place.
Dreams for the Future
Saraswati's dream is to expand Panigha and work with an even larger team of women who all have different skill sets and share her love of handmade items. Whatever the future may bring, her daughter is already proud of her achievements.
"I just wanted to share here…I feel proud of my mom! At the age of 72, she is always active and full of positive energy. She never gets tired, is always eager to try new crafting ideas and makes beautiful products. She is an inspiration for me. Thank you amma for everything. Happy Mother's Day!"
Check out more of Saraswati and Vinita's products at their online marketplace Panigha on Discovered. We would love to hear what you think about their story and products! Share your thoughts with us and use #idiscovered or tag us using @dscvrd on Instagram or @discovered on Facebook.

Introduction: LED Bonding Manually
I will show you how to bonding a LED diode manually, soldering an LED directly.
Step 1: Get the LED
In this case I used a white LED SMD. Inside it has a blue LED diode covered with a yellow resin, It contains elements that make the blue light to appear white.
Step 2: Getting the LED (part 1)
For this work we need a microscope, also we will fix the LED on a PCB. Then we cut off the encapsulated.
Step 3: Getting the LED (part 2)
With a sharp object we remove the resin being careful not to damage the LED diode (the gold wire is not necesary, only the pads on the LED).
Step 4: Tinning the LED Pads
For tinning the pads we need small particles of welding wire. We get them scraping with a cutter. Then, we place a particle on the pad and approached the tip of the soldering iron. The heat will melt the particle on the pad. We do the same on the other pad.
Step 5: Bonding the Wires
We get the microwire from some coil, I get the coil of an old analog clock. We weld the microwire with the tip of the soldering iron. And we weld the microwire on the pads approaching the tip of the soldering iron. Finally we remove the LED from the PCB pressing carefully with a cutter.
Step 6: Using Your New LED
Now, because the LED and wires are very small, it is necessary to weld it on some base. This way you can manipulate easily.
Step 7: In a Joule Thief Circuit
I had the idea to set my LED on joule thief circuit. I used a 1.5v battery, a push button and the lens of a laser to see the LED. This is the result.

This reminds me of when I was in the USAF in the 1970's, working in an electronics depot in Germany. My job was to fix the unfixable, things like obsolete, out of stock parts that couldn't be ordered any more. Parts were shipped from all over Europe for me to try to fix. One of the things I did was to repair computer circuit boards for an old weird UN radar installation. The circuit boards had miniature ICs spot-welded into place instead of being soldered! Imagine the fun I had, grinding off the leads of the bad IC without ruining the runs, then spot welding the new IC into place. There were 10 leads to a side, and the ICs were 3/4" long, with the spacing one lead wide. I did this with only a standard desk magnifying lamp, a standard Dremel, and standard Dremel bits! I can tell you, my eyes were tired at the end of the day!
Man you Super Mega Man!!!
Welding wire? Looks like solder to me. (Plastic spool says "solder". Alloy composition not visible.) And a soldering iron wouldn't melt "welding wire" particles (typically brass). Probably an error in translation.
You are right, I speak spanish but I try to post in english. So sorry ;D
You do far better in a second language than I do :-) (Old joke in the US: What do you call someone who can speak three languages? Trilingual. Two languages? Bilingual. One language? American :-)
Haha nice ;)
Wow! I tip my hat to you for the solder-job! HAd to solder sub-mm-pitch in the past and i know how hard it can be :)
Also: The LED will shine mostly in UV-light since the yellow stuff is a mix of phosphorous which will glow in the UV-light of the LED. So Maybe you can also scavenge the phos. and sprinkle it on an object to make it somewhat glowy in the almost invisible UV-light... Just an idea.
the Ultra violet is dangerous to eyes.
Will this exposed LED emit enough UV to damage our eyes?
some white LED use UV light + a phosphor to output white light.. thus, those would have UV.
most white LEDs today use a royal blue LED combined with a phosphor now. So a lot less UV will be there, but not none.
In any case, one single LED in the range of 5-50mA will not output enought UV to be damaging to your eyes if not stared at ultraclose range for long time.
Since the die is bare in this scenario, the emition is more or less uniform in all directions. So the power fall really really fast:
twice the distance = 1/1000the of the power per cm^2
The UV is dangerous, but this kind of LED is not powerfull. Anyway, it is better not to expose too.
No, seeing that white LEDs use blue dies, not UV.
It's blue. White LEDs do not use UV LEDs.
I'll try it. Thank for the idea ;)
Great project, I learned a lot, thanks for posting!
ps I think you are crazy :)
Haha ok ;)
A lot of work but for which result ? I don't see the interest except maybe for learning how a LED is built. Such LEDs, without phosphore, already exist and are available. (a danish company sells bars and points as well)
Exactly. Satisfaction is to achieve challenges, apart from knowledge. Not everything in life is to create something commercial or useful, also build things that are simply beautiful. In my opinion. ;)
Pressing "I like your respomse" button.
My opinion too.

5 of the Best Cordless Accessories to Buy for Your Tablet
There's no way around it: cords are a bane of modern life. From the snake's nest behind your TV to the knot of cables spilling off your desk, cords are unsightly things we've grown to live with. Thankfully, there's a better way.
With the rise of portable devices like tablets and smartphones, we're starting to see a glimmer of light at the end of the cord-cluttered tunnel. Here are five of the best accessories that will help you get the most out of your tablet, but won't have you tripping over cords while you do.
1. Logitech Bluetooth Easy-Switch Keyboard
A tablet's touchscreen keyboard is fine for searching Google and sending off quick emails. But it's not so hot when you have to buckle down and write a paper or work on the Great American Novel. That's where a good Bluetooth keyboard comes in. These devices make typing on a tablet a breeze, with no cords required.
The best one on the market right now is the Logitech Bluetooth Easy-Switch Keyboard. First and foremost, it's a pleasure to type on, thanks to its high quality aluminum finish and gently incurved keys. Perhaps its biggest selling point is that it can connect to three devices simultaneously, so you can switch between typing on your tablet, phone, and computer with the press of a button. It's quiet, it's back-lit, and it's received spectacular reviews across the board. You can buy the Windows version here and the Mac/iOS version here.
2. Bose SoundLink Color Bluetooth Speaker
A tablet's thinness is a major selling point because it makes the device easy to toss in a bag and bring with you wherever you go. One downside is that its speakers are too small to produce rich, high-quality sound. And with all the music and videos available on tablets these days, owning a nice set of Bluetooth speakers is almost a requirement.
When it comes to a wireless speaker for your tablet, you'll probably want one that's small enough to bring with you when you leave your house. One of the best in class is the Bose SoundLink Color Bluetooth Speaker. Not only is it the lightest, cheapest, and most portable Bluetooth speaker from Bose — a company that knows a thing or two about speakers — but it comes in a variety of colors. For the perfect mix between size and sound quality, you can't go wrong with the Bose SoundLink Color. You can buy one right here.
3. Anker 2nd Gen Astro E4 External Battery
As liberating as it would be to cut cords out of your life altogether, there's one time you can't escape them when using a tablet: charging. But running down your battery doesn't mean you've run out of options. You could plug it into a wall outlet, but that would root your otherwise portable tablet in place while it juices up. A better way to charge your tablet is to use an external battery pack.
One of the best battery packs on the market is the Anker 2nd Gen Astro E4. It's small and light enough to take with you anywhere you bring your tablet, and it frees you from the tyranny of the wall outlet. It packs enough power to give your tablet a full charge, and it has two USB ports, so you can juice up your phone at the same time. Better yet, it detects what devices you plug into it and delivers as much power as they can handle as quickly as possible. You can buy an Anker 2nd Gen Astro E4 here.
4. Adonit Jot Pro Stylus
An index finger is a fine input device for many applications, but it's not so hot when you're using your tablet to draw a picture, take hand-written notes, or fill in a spreadsheet. In those cases, it helps to bring a little precision to your tablet computing. That's where a stylus comes in.
The Adonit Jot Pro is a fantastic stylus at a very reasonable price. Thanks to its clear disc tip, it's far more precise than its mushy, rubber-tipped competition. It's built of aluminum and steel, so it feels great in your hand. Finally, the tip is lightly cushioned to give the impression you're writing on paper instead of glass. You can buy an Adonit Jot Pro here.
5. Apple TV
If your tablet of choice is an iPad, you might be surprised to learn that you can stream just about anything from your tablet to your television, as long as you have an Apple TV. The best part? No cords or cables required. Apple makes this possible through the AirPlay function built into both devices.
Using an Apple TV is a fantastic way to extend the usefulness of your iPad. You can send movies, TV shows, photos, and music from your tablet to your television so everyone in the room can enjoy them. You can even play iPad games on your TV or bring it to the office and use it to deliver presentations. With the wealth of apps available for iPad, the opportunities are endless. You can buy an Apple TV here.

Everyone in Dzune had always assumed Tay could read fates, that her milky eyes let her see what others couldn't. Villagers brought gifts in exchange for her wisdom and treated it as the ironclad word of the Sun Father.
There was only one problem: Tay couldn't actually see the future.
Not at all initially, and only a little after her awakening. She'd had a true vision once, though, an image of her–armed and angry–safeguarding a strange man on a green hill.
And now that man had come to Dzune.

Ford accelerates in the Middle East
Ford Middle East has returned to the floor in style with its acclaimed 2010 Ford Taurus - the official car for GITEX Technology Week.
Ford Middle East has returned to the floor in style with its acclaimed 2010 Ford Taurus - the official car for GITEX Technology Week.
Theo Benson, Product Manager for Ford Middle East, is upbeat about the company's participation at the show for the second consecutive year, where the latest in-car technologies will be demonstrated to visitors.
"This 2010 Taurus is on display here (at GITEX) because it's the vehicle we have today that displays many of the new technologies that we'll be launching on other Ford vehicles next year as well," Benson comments, with the new 2010 Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models all expected to come equipped with the same cutting-edge technology.
Some of the new in-car technologies include the Adaptive Cruise Control safety feature that allows the driver to set vehicle cruising speeds while using radar technology to keep an eye on traffic traveling up to 600 feet ahead, automatically adjusting speeds to maintain safe distances. The same radar sensors are capable of providing a warning when traffic slows down.
The 2010 Ford Taurus was launched in North America earlier this summer and has already been recognised as a leader in its class, including a Top Safety Pick rating from the IIHS with its adoption of active crash-avoidance features such as a segment-first, radar-based forward collision warning system helps drivers avoid accidents effectively.
The 2010 Taurus comes standard with Ford's Duratec 3.5-liter V-6 paired with a choice of two new six-speed automatic transmissions, which includes an option of SelectShift. This optional transmission offered on the SEL and Limited series features racing-inspired shift control paddles mounted on the steering wheel, while offering the convenience of conventional automatic operation, or a manual shift mode.
"By December we'll be ready to discuss more details about the product and where customers can actually purchase one here in the Middle East," Benson adds.
Visitors to GITEX Technology Week also stand the chance to win the 2010 Ford Taurus Limited model by taking part in the show's Passport Trail raffle.
Ford is doing well in the Middle East where Benson revealed that increasing numbers of customers are visiting showrooms in the region and actually showing a preference for the brand when purchasing new cars.
"There's a soft spot for Ford in people's hearts because we're sometimes known as the company that put America and the rest of the world on wheels, and we surely looking to build on that with the new Taurus," states Benson.

When you come to training for the first time, you're going to need to decide what your first goal is. Where you put the priority – weight loss or muscle gain – is going to determine your diet and training routines.
With this amount of impact on your life, it's important to get it right when you start. There are 3 real options you need to look at:
- Losing fat
- Gaining muscle
- Both?
Losing fat is going to be important for your confidence and appearance if you're starting with a high bodyfat. This is about your personal goals and whether you're urgent enough about your body fat to prioritise it.
The trade-off with focusing on fat-loss is that you're likely to build very little muscle – or even lose some. This is a hard reality of the 'hard cut'.
On the other hand, gaining muscle can be a difficult process since it's likely to minimise your fat loss. If you're trying to maximise strength with no concern for weight change, you're going to end up eating at a surplus and may risk gaining even more weight.
Gaining muscle and losing fat is a tough process, but during your early days of training it's significantly easier. You can make the most of this time by working on habits and capitalising on beginner gains to lose fat and gain muscle simultaneously.
This is a great way of finding and maintaining balance during your first 6-9months of training. You can see significant muscle and strength gains, as well as producing a leaner physique.
Taking this time to focus on habits can also be the best way to get into an effective mindset and support confidence while your body is adapting and changing.

It seems we are never doing enough. At every turn, there is someone accomplishing more, telling us we should be doing more, too, and more often than not, promising us that once we do, we will be happy.
Yet this is just the myth of perfectionism — that bigger, better, faster will also mean happier. The problem is, of course, we never get there. Perfect doesn't really exist.
"In the beginning, perfectionism feel like strength, a way to accomplish great things, be rewarded, and avoid criticism. But it also creates unnecessary stress and anxiety," writes author Sharon Martin.
In her new book, The CBT Workbook for Perfectionism: Evidence-Based Skills to Help You Let Go of Self-Criticism, Build Self-Esteem & Find Balance, Martin offers an active guide to shift our perspective on perfect, find what matters most, and importantly, allow for some mistakes along the way.
Martin's advice to her readers begins like this: "The exercises should be challenging; this is how you grow and change. So try to allow yourself to do them imperfectly and learn by making mistakes."
One misconception perfectionists often make is that their achievements will correct for their inadequacies. Martin writes, "As perfectionists, we base our self-worth on our performance and achievements. We aren't particularly resilient, in that we don't easily bounce back from setbacks, mistakes stick with us, damage our self-esteem and leave us feeling worthless or incompetent. The only way we feel valued or worthy is by achieving, winning, and being flawless."
The drives underlying perfectionism include a deep need to be liked, a desire to avoid disappointing others, and the need to sidestep vulnerability. Perfectionism can make us impose impossible expectations on ourselves and others and can affect many areas of our lives, tainting our professional accomplishments, our appearance or athletic performance, and our physical environment.
In overestimating their failures and underestimating their strengths, perfectionists often think in black and white — perfect or hopeless failure. Martin writes, "Perfectionist thinking is based on a belief that we're inadequate: 'I'm not enough, and the only way to be enough is to accomplish ____________________."'
Perfectionism also often causes us to ruminate and overthink things, have a hard time relaxing, have trouble being happy for others' success, feel stressed, tense and anxious, be goal-driven, highly critical of ourselves and others, and crave organization.
One question Martin suggests we consider is: What would happen if you worked less?
For perfectionists, the allure of being praised for outworking others is elusive. "In addition to our busyness, we miss out on a lot of life's pleasures because of fear. Our fears can be so deep that we actually convince ourselves that we don't want to do things rather than tap into the awareness that we're afraid of failure, embarrassment, criticism, rejection, and not being as good as everyone else," writes Martin.
Again, Martin asks us to consider what might be different if we began to accept our imperfections. One area where perfectionism can cause the most damage is in our connections with others. She writes, "Frequent and harsh criticism hurts relationships. It doesn't feel good to be criticized. People will naturally pull away from someone who is always pointing out their flaws and telling them what they are doing wrong."
Interestingly, demanding parents are not the only root cause of perfectionism. Parents who are overwhelmed with their own traumas or life stressors, or parents who are distracted can also fail to be attuned to a child's needs, resulting in a child that learns to be perfect simply to get noticed.
Martin also points to social media as a proponent of perfectionism. She writes, "We are spending more and more time watching television and YouTube, surfing the web, and perusing social media. These things all give us a specific image of who we are supposed to be, what we are supposed to look like and what we are supposed to be doing. And that message is: You should be able to do everything, and you should make it look effortless."
While our fears can seem overwhelming, acknowledging them is the first step to uncovering our underlying beliefs, which can then be challenged. Similarly, we can look for evidence to refute our negative self-criticism and open the door for self-compassion and forgiveness.
One exercise Martin suggests is a time audit, where we not only account for how much time we are spending in busyness, but what might be missing from our lives, such as being mindfully present, enjoying rest and relaxation, sleeping, participating in the things we love and practicing gratitude.
Perfectionism can feel enveloping and, in many ways, addictive. However, underlying the allure of attention and praise is a deep need to find peace, happiness and contentment. Martin's new book not only provides the understanding necessary to see perfectionism for what it is, but the exercises needed to take active steps toward overcoming it and reclaiming your life in the process.

German scientist Herman Freibach achieved a world first this Thursday, when he successfully combined florescent genes from jellyfish and reindeer. Said Freibach, "This will make all the children of the world interested in science again this Christmas season." After the formal interview he added: "I'm just glad it came out like the song. I was half expecting a jellyfish with horns." The reindeer (named Rudolph of course) is doing well in his temporary pen on the outskirts of the Black Forest, but several major U.S. retail chains have already made bids to have the cheery science experiment displayed in their windows in New York City. When asked if he would sell, Freibach said, "I can always make more!"

It is with great sadness that we have heard about the recent death of John Urry. The official announcement from Lancaster University along with a range of tributes can be found here. Over the years John published a series of pieces in Theory, Culture & Society, as well as editing some key special issues and writing for our book series. This is in addition to being a warm friend and supporter of the journal. In the coming weeks we hope to be able to share that work and to celebrate his contribution both in the journal and on this website. To begin this process we thought that we would post two videos that we think capture John's vibrancy, his generous manner and his intellectual foresight. The first is a video of a recording of a session from the 2011 British Sociological Association annual conference in which John discusses aspects of his work and responds to questions about the future of social scientific work.
The second is a short film that John recently produced for TCS in which he, along with David Tyfield, introduces and discusses a typically far-reaching special issue of TCS on 'Energy & Society' which he coedited.

Cat Spring: Pastoral Setting That is Still off the Map
Jan 19, 2016 12:36PM
By Kevin
Photo credit: Skeeter Hagler Photography
Turns out there still are a few small-town secrets left in Texas. About 60 miles west of Houston and north of I-10, on a rural FM highway you'll discover tiny Cat Spring, Texas. The pastoral setting of the area has been attracting people since the early 1800s. It's still small today (population less than 800) and filled with all the things you love about country escapes. There's picturesque pastures and natural beauty, traces of Texas history, exquisite antique shopping and genial Southern hospitality.
There are several things to do in town but you'll want to check out the 112-year-old community dance hall. They sure don't make them like this anymore. Elsewhere, you'll find shops like Mustang Alley Antiques. It's in a turn-of-the-century general store building that retains much of its historic character, including hardwood floors and a front porch. Here, and in a few other nearby shops, you'll discover antiques, collectibles and an assortment of other arts and crafts to suit just about any taste.
There are two wonderful overnight options in Cat Spring. First is the Blisswood Bed and Breakfast. It offers 11 antique homes, ranging from the one-bedroom Writer's Cabin to the two-suite Dog Trot House and the four-bedroom Lehmann House. Or you can try the Oasis Retreat. It's a collection of nine Asian-inspired cottages, suites and rooms sprinkled among tall pines and thick stands of bamboo and greenhouses. Both places are a part of the sweeping 600-acre Lehmann Legacy Ranch.
The ranch itself is worth exploring. There's a Victorian greenhouse with an indoor swimming pool and tropical foliage, and wide open pastures filled with horses, cattle, alpaca, miniature donkeys, bison and even blackbuck antelope.
When you're hungry, try the Cross Road Tavern, it's a convenience store (yes, you can still buy a few grocery essentials here) and restaurant inside a former gas station. Step in to have a seat on a vintage bar stool and sip a beverage of your choice. There's a fish fry here every Friday night if you're so inclined. While in town, you might also try Carol's at Cat Spring Restaurant. This Western-style lodge features rustic cedar walls and cowboy furnishings. The steaks here are great, as are their desserts – how can you go wrong with something called Alice's triple chocolate cake? And you don't want to miss the sweet potato cake.
A visit to Cat Spring will provide a much needed and enjoyable respite from the holiday season just past. Just make sure you call it 'Cat Spring' and not 'Cat Springs,' or the locals will have to correct you. But they'll do it in a hospitable Southern way.

This news is not new, but tanning beds are BAD…very bad!! They are not only bad for your skin, but for your health as well. I can remember being in high school and everyone running to the tanning beds a month before prom or spring break. WE NEEDED TANS! We knew there was a risk, but we thought that this happens to other people…not us. We were so wrong. I have been with Air-Tan for almost 4 years, and I have met many women of all ages who are survivors of melanoma. Here are 5 reasons why tanning beds are bad for you:
- Skin cancer–The risk of melanoma from tanning bed use is 59% for people whose first exposure to artificial UV rays in a tanning bed occurred before the age of 35! (statistic from mfne.org/prevent-melanoma/dangers-of-tanning/)
- Burning skin–Have you ever gone to the tanning bed and got burned? One blistering sunburn can double your chances of developing melanoma. So not worth it!
- Wrinkles and sun spots–UV rays are known for damaging your skin instantly and later on down the road. Suns can cause this as well, so lather up that sun screen!
- UVA rays–This is what the tanning beds use and they penetrate the skin deeper than UVB rays.
- Base tan myth–A "base tan" does not protect you like you think. Tanned skin cannot protect you from sun burns, skin cancer, or aging skin. In fact, it is said that it only serves as 3% of SPF!
The statistics for harm done from the tanning beds are scary. I understand the need for wanting to look tan, and that is why Air-Tan is here. If you have any Air-Tan related questions, give us a call!

There was quite a crisp north wind blowing this morning when I arrived at the office. I almost thought I needed to wear a coat but as the sun rose higher in the sky, the day became one that will be memorable. I went out behind my office building and did some mowing and weeding for several hours. The air was so clear that everything visible seemed to have a perfect contrast to the surroundings. It was as though everything I looked at was singularly striking. I think with all the rain we have been having, the air has been cleaned of all the particles in the upper atmosphere. North Iowa and Mason City can have some of the most beautiful days during my favorite three seasons. At another time, I'll talk about my feelings about our winters. This brings me tell you what a long time client told me some years ago. She was a high ranking military officer that traveled and lived in many cities here in the USA as well as other countries. In our numerous conversations she once said to me, "Joe, I know you wonder why I live in Mason City." I was surprised she knew that I had indeed wondered why. "Well" she said, "I have lived in more places on this earth than most people even dream about. And I will tell you, living in the three better seasons of Mason City is the best I have ever seen." Now that is something to write about. I believe that today, I experienced what she spoke about. We all should step back, and realize and be thankful for, the North Iowa communities where we reside. We must continue to not only take care of them, but to work at making them better.
Perfect Day

Spoilers ahead for Unbreakable.
In 1999, M. Night Shyamalan was on top of the world. His third feature, The Sixth Sense, had been a massive, worldwide success. The film was nominated for Best Picture and it earned Shyamalan nominations for Best Director and Best Original Screenplay. He basically had carte blanche for his follow-up feature, and he chose to make Unbreakable, a movie about superheroes and comic books. Despite carrying a budget of $75 million—$35 million more than The Sixth Sense—the film only made $95 million at the box office when it opened over Thanksgiving in 2000. Looking back at the film now, it's clear that what felled the film was that the audience wasn't savvy enough to see what Shyamalan was doing.
I was as guilty of this as anyone. For me, I got hung up on the twist ending. For those who haven't seen the film or just need a refresher, the plot follows David Dunn (Bruce Willis), a security guard who's the lone survivor of a massive train derailment. This brings him into contact with art gallery owner Elijah Price aka "Mr. Glass" (Samuel L. Jackson), so named as a child by the taunts of the other children because his fragile bones "break like glass." Price tells David that he believes superheroes and comic books are simply a new form of pictorial storytelling. The comics may function as "exaggeration", but they hold core truths, and a man like Dunn, who can survive a train wreck, has never gotten sick, and has only one weakness (water), fits the profile of a superhero. Slowly, Dunn comes to realize that Price is right and that he must use his "powers" to help people.
The "twist" of the film is that the train wreck, as well as two prior catastrophes that happen before the movie begins, were the work of Price looking for someone like Dunn. When I saw the film back in 2000, I had a big problem with the twist because it felt like Shyamalan had cheated the audience. Unlike The Sixth Sense, where everything was right in front of us, the information that Price had caused these accidents was new and the scenes showing him planning or causing the accidents had never been seen before. I felt like it was a twist for the sake of a twist, but I misread what the real twist of the movie is: Price is the villain not because of his actions, but because of the tropes of the story
When you go back and rewatch Unbreakable, it's clear that, like with The Sixth Sense, Shyamalan has laid out all the information in front of you. But the information Shyamalan provides isn't about the train crash or the other accidents. He's laying out superhero tropes, specifically with regards to heroes and villains. For example, at one point Price mentions the square jaw of and symmetrical features of the hero contrasted against the asymmetry of the villain, and we can't help but notice Price's asymmetrical hairstyle and later how one of his legs is broken. Additionally, the film is genius with colors, usually putting David in green while Price and even Price's mother, tend to wear purple. If you're on the film's frequency, these details are unmistakable, but they're also easy to miss if you don't understand what Shyamalan is doing.
It was incredibly easy to miss all of this because in 2000, superheroes and comics were still niche. By the time Unbreakable arrived in November 2000, there had basically been Batman, Superman, and X-Men. Batman was on hiatus because Batman & Robin had been so awful back in 1998. There hadn't been a Superman movie since 1987's Superman IV: The Quest for Peace. And X-Men was trying to forge a new direction for adaptations of comic book superheroes. So Unbreakable enters a marketplace where superhero movies haven't really come in vogue, and he's trying to explain to an audience why they should take comic books seriously.
In retrospect, audiences just weren't ready for Unbreakable. It's tough to deconstruct a narrative when the audience doesn't even fully understand the construction. Unbreakable does its best to at least try and make a case for why comic books need to be appraised as serious artwork. The film stops just so Price can explain a comic book cover's artistry and later he argues that comics are just the latest form of pictograms. If we study hieroglyphics seriously, why not comics? Why are comics for kids when their artistry is as worthy of dissection and analysis as any other storytelling medium?
Today, that makes a lot of sense to a mainstream audience that will happily see multiple movies a year based on comic books. Less than twenty years after the release of Unbreakable, six of the top ten highest grossing films of the year were about superheroes and five of those six were based on comic books of some kind (the outlier being Incredibles 2). In the last 18 years, audiences have been acclimated to the tropes of superhero stories and how they operate so that even if they don't read the comics, they still understand the narratives.
Of course, Shyamalan had no way of knowing that there would be a boom in superhero movies in the years following the release of Unbreakable, but the film is far easier to understand now than it was in 2000. Instead of being made to look silly by age, Unbreakable was far out ahead of where it needed to be. People who only knew Shyamalan by The Sixth Sense only saw the twist and missed the bigger picture.
That being said, there were those who understood right away what Shyamalan was doing and instantly appreciated Unbreakable. These were the people who have been keeping the flame alive, and they were unexpectedly rewarded in 2016 when Split turned out to be a standalone sequel to Unbreakable. Now, over 18 years since the release of Unbreakable, those fans will finally get the direct sequel they've been waiting for with Glass, a superhero film that enters a very different landscape than the one we saw in 2000. Maybe this time, the world will finally be ready for what Shyamalan has in store.
Glass opens January 18th. Click here to see if you're a hero or a villain.
