Woodstock (1970)
( October 11, 2012 ) Viewed mostly in split-screen, with extensive footage of muddy hippies sloshing around interspersed with now-iconic performances from Ritchie Havens, Sly and the Family Stone, Jimi Hendrix, Santana and many others, this Michael Wadleigh-directed sensory overload (editing by, among others, Martin Scorsese) runs a little long. But it plays as the definitive cultural document of the 60s counter-culture high point before the wave broke, spilling wild-eyed, acid-head boomers into the 70s and beyond. |

I am about to name a business that I have been working on and I want to leave room to expand but I don't want that to dampen the response for the initial location where I am starting the business. I am trying to decide if it would be better to have something like NYCawesomeproduct.com to make it seem more local or if it would be better to leave room for expansion and do something like awesomeproduct.com and then I can do awesomeproduct.com/nyc or /chicago and everything else.
Any input would be great. Do people respond much more favorably to location specific domains and company names like that?

At Crux Rock Climbing Gym, more than 9,000 square feet of climbing walls challenge guests as they tackle roofs, overhangs, and bouldering caves. Roped climbers are secured with auto-locking belay devices called grigris, allowing them to safely explore Crux's many routes knowing their ropes are in extra-good hands. Climbs range from simple, juggy routes with easy-to-grasp holds to complex ascents that may require careful footwork or the flying leap of a dyno. Following a workout on Crux's towering walls or in one of its three bouldering areas, visitors can dig into Hawaiian, Polynesian, and Asian cuisine at Ron's Island Grill, the gym's onsite restaurant. The gym also hosts summer camps, parties, and nights for female climbers only.

After suffering from a back injury, former dancer and athletic fitness guru Elise Moore discovered Pilates during her rehabilitation. Her love for the exercise form continued to flourish even after she felt better, inspiring her to open her own studio where she could put her Pilates certification and 20-plus years in the fitness industry to good use leading group mat and reformer classes.
Seventy-five years separate Watson Ranch Golf's front and back nines, which billow across an undulating parcel of wooded terrain just east of the Coos River. Known as Coos Country Club when it opened for play in 1923, the course's original nine holes were designed by H. Chandler Egan. A successful amateur golfer himself, his idea of a proper introduction was welcoming players with a pair of stiff par 5s. While Mr. Egan would go on to redesign the famous Pebble Beach Golf Links just six years later, Watson Ranch Golf remained a 9-hole course until 1998, when it sprouted a back nine. Today, the 18-hole course also incorporates a driving range, a chipping area, and two practice putting greens where golfers can limber up before acquainting themselves with Mr. Egan's opening holes.
Course at a Glance:
Bryan Gill grew up fishing the Umpqua River, and has more than 35 years of experience capturing its finned inhabitants. As the Umpqua Angler, Bryan shares his vast knowledge of the river and its surrounding areas by leading fellow fishermen on trips throughout the year. During those adventures, Bryan targets fish according to the season, navigating groups to prime areas and deploying unique lures to bait bites from trophy catches.

Definition from Nolo's Plain-English Law Dictionary
One person's approval of another's activities, constituting a defense to a fault divorce. For example, if a wife did not object to her husband's adultery even though she was aware of it, and she later tries to use it as grounds for a divorce or the basis for a settlement in her favor, he could counter these efforts by arguing that she had condoned his behavior.

Loved this place so much as a teen I rode here from Beaverton to check out books often, often- and hit the bookstores.. Still love the staircase and quiet there.

This library is nothing special. The venerable building is a treasure, but what's inside is nothing much. The trick to getting books here is to go on line and reserve them ahead of time (many will be fetched in from branch libraries). It's a nice efficient system for those who know what they want to read, but offers little for... More
I have always loved libraries, ever since I could read. This is one of the best. Solid location, great resources, excellent facilities and wonderful staff. Go read a book today!
This is a beautiful public library. We only went in to use the computers and printers, but the staff were so helpful and friendly, we were very impressed.
What libraries all used to be, and what they should be, but what now few are. I cherish it. Especially good photography and art sections. Very good online ordering and management system as well for books and films.
Think of this place like Powell's City of Books, except that you have to return what you read; and sadly if you don't live in the general area, I doubt that you could check a book at all. But that doesn't mean you can't have a great time while you're here. This is the most amazing library and it's very... More
This library is beautiful, both outside and inside - worth wandering around just to look at even if you are not a library buff. Convenient downtown location and friendly staff.
Love hanging out at the downtown library - neat and clean - always helpful staff and so many offerings!
This is one of the oldest library's in Oregon, it also has some very good summer time classes for your kids, this historic library takes you back to a much simpler time before wifi, ipads, and smartphones, and lets you re-find the book. But they also have wifi, free computers, with internet, dvd's, and all the currant stuff.
I went to the library to get some books on crafts, and found that they had several to choose from. The place itself is a wonder! Such a wide variety of artwork, and literary arts that I was there for over an hour, and still didn't get to see everything. Not only the books for borrowing, but a wonderful section... More

Scrolling twitter tweets on your tv screen is a feature of the FireText software. It's primarily used by television stations and events where audience interaction takes place.
Twitter is a free social network that allows users to keep in touch with each other using @screennames and #interesttags.
It's by the same way that your audience can send twitter messages on your tv screens. FireText can listen to specific #interest tags, and when a twitter user includes that interest tag within their tweet, that tweet is processed by the FireText software.
FireText receives the tweet, customizes the fonts and colours to match your unique brand, then scrolls the twitter message over a unique graphic, which is outputted to your tv screen.
You can scroll tweets on your tv, you can scroll tweets on your projectors, scroll twitter tweets in your arena jumbotron. The places you can scroll twitter is endless, because the FireText software sends twitter messages out via stand video output on your laptop. That video output can be connected to any type of video source.
So that's how your scroll twitter messages on your tv screens. Questions, take a look at FireText.com

Ox and Angela Restaurant
Online Reservations
I am an O&A junkie. Their fun cocktails and mushrooms on toast keeps me coming back. Recently I stepped in for brunch, and it was a completely different vibe. No more fun servers, painfully slow service, mediocre food. Stick to their regular menu and dinner service, it's what their best at.
After all the years that Ox & Angela has been open they are still my favourite place in Calgary! The food is spectacular and our server Barbara is so amazing :) She knows the menu and the wine list inside and out and is always so helpful and awesome to deal with. She makes you feel like you are a friend and the only person in the restaurant.
Great place to go to share great food with friends!! A little on the expensive side but once and while it's worth it!! A friend and I shared "the Spanish table" and it was a great way too get to sample multiple dishes. My fav was the chicken thighs and dates! Delicious! Our waiter recommended a great wine for the evening and was always very friendly!
The 'Brunch Table' offered on the menu is excellent and definitely worth the price. It was the best eggs benedict I've ever had! I also really enjoyed the chocolate chip with salty caramel pancakes. Another plus was the GREAT SERVICE - which can be hard to come by in Calgary these days. Will definitely be returning in the future. Thanks!
Went out to dinner with my dad, sister, and 9 year old son. Shared several different plates and loved them all, especially the stuffed dates. Dishes were a little pricy considering the portions. Taste and presentation were excellent. Our server was super helpful, new the menu well and the kitchen did a great job at sending out a few more dishes just as we finished the ones before. I'd highly recommend this restaurant. We went early on a Sunday night so no line up. My sister tried going on a Friday night and they had a 2 hour wait (no reservation) Obviously very popular.
The food was amazing - i lived in Southern Spain for a while, and I find this food to be authentic with a twist, with delicious spices. While it is pricey, it is completely worth the price.
Our server absolutely made our experience. He was so attentive and pleasant the whole evening. Our water glasses never got dry and empty plates did not last long. The food was great as usual although I was disappointed that the asparagus dish and Paella were taken off of the spanish table since I had had it last.
A cozy little spot. Recommeded for those wanting to take your time to sample flavours, enjoy some wine, and enjoy conversation over a meal. The tapas approach allows for the meal to be a journey and the service was attentive but not pushy.
I loved having our brunch served to us at our table. Unlike the usual buffets where you tend to overeat, it was nice to have a few delicious bite sized items. The coffee was fabulous! If you are expecting the usual buffet with 50 items, don't come here. If you are looking for a light brunch with some unusual dishes, Ox and Angela is a great place to dine!
Food and service was great however there was a screaming baby that was extremely distracting and loud, it ruined the ambience.
I was recommended to this restaurant by friends. We were greeted warmly, seated immediately, our server was fantastic, and I cant say enough about the food and wine. We enjoyed the Spanish Table experience on the suggestion from our server, every bite was interesting and full-flavoured. I've already recommended this place to coworkers and many clients of mine, and will continue. Delicious!!
Food was creative. The tappas menu made it more challenging to get a full balanced meal at a reasonable price and quantity. I'd recommend it for someone who was going for snacks to share with drinks vs. meal for non-drinkers.
Ox & Angela's offers tasty dishes and attentive service in a casual atmosphere. The tapas style menu lends itself to sharing small portions among friends or family. One of our favourite casual restaurants in Calgary.
The four of us shared the Spanish Table and couldn't have asked for more. It was delicious and a great way to sample the tapas menu. The service was excellent and the recommended wine complemented the meal perfectly. We will definitely be back.
Our service, food and experience was absolutly awesome. I can not think of one bad thing about our visit.
Amazing food and service! They had no problem accommodating me with all of my food allergies as well! I will definitely go back!
We had a reservation at 10:15pm after seeing a show on a Saturday night and it was fantastic! The food, the wine and the service was all amazing...I was a little concerned it might not be since it was so late and perhaps the staff might be winding their night down and be as attentive so late into the evening, but I was wrong. Our server was fantastic and suggested a perfect wine for our food and the food was delicious! We will definatly be back!
I visited Ox and Angela for a night out with a friend. The restaurant has a very cozy and lively atmosphere, and it accepts reservations for fairly late at night. A great selection of unusual drinks, and very good wine. Out of four tapas we ordered, two were very good, and two - nothing special. The service was outstanding the whole night.
The staff was fantastic, very energetic and helpful! They set us up with a lovely corner table for two for our anniversary. We did the tasting menu option and it was fantastic! Nothing we didn't like and lots that we loved! Really fantastic for a lactose intolerance too as the only cheese on the menu was from sheep's milk!
We had a lunch. Very pleasant atmosphere. Not too loud yet lively. Good choice of tapas. And price was right. Will come back again when in the neighbourhood.
Place itself is very nice, lovely decorated. It was busy the night we came so even though we booked a reservation, we were waiting for a table for atleast 30 mins. Once seated and the waitress did finally come around (it was very busy so its hard to judge the service) she was very helpful with the menu. We tried the Chef's menu, it was delicious! 9 dishes for 45$, very good, amazing variety of food and mixture of flavors. Usually by the time we were finished the dish in front of us, the waitress was out with our next dish. We also tried their sangria, which was amazing! definitely recommended. The only real let down food wise was dessert. we ordered the Churros and something just seemed off about it. Other than that,this place was great!
We chose the lunch for 2 to share. Wonderful variety, interesting flavors and plenty of it!
Great service and the portion size was perfect for sharing.
Like all tapas restaurants the servings are small and numerous. The food was excellent, the service was excellent and the ambience was good. The only problem I had with the Ox and Angela is that you are almost sitting on your neighbours. Overall it was an excellent experience and I will go back.
Great service, the food was just seasoned perfectly!
The set menu for sharing was delicious. The chicken was fall of the bone tender and the beef was very nicely done. Lots of delicious sides. The servers explained what each dish was carefully. My wine glass was always full as the waitress was really mindful and attentive. Dress code is business casual. Lots of friends dining, but I recommend this as a nice date place as well. Overall a great experience and would go back again to try their other dishes.
Service was outstanding. Staff very attentive to our needs. Food was fresh and tastey. Like the family dining style. Parking a downer as the lot at the back was ridiculous. Could not park even though there were spots.
The food and service at Ox & Angela was phenomenal. I highly recommend the "Patatas Bravas" which are served with fresh ketchup and garlic aioli. The restaurant was very energetic that evening. Almost a bit too loud to have intimate conversation, but would be ideal for groups.
Great food but a still quite noisy and dark- had to use phone light to see the menu! Loved the food!
This was my first time being here and I was a little nervous as I brought my date and didn't know what it would be like! Then from the moment we walked in to the moment we walked out it was one of the best experiences for both of us! Starting from the service they were all super friendly and everyone was helping out if your water glass was almost empty no matter who it was they stopped to fill it for you!! The food was all delicious and not a HUGE variety but I thought there was still quite a few options to choose from! All in all this was quite an amazing place to have a date and or just come with family or friends and have a great time! If anyone is ever debating if they should or shouldn't visit this restaurant PLEASE DO you'll enjoy it!
I've taken a lot of friends and clients to Ox and Angela but this time I took a born and brad Catalan man with me. He was very impressed. He said that the ingredients were not the same as his family could obtain in Spain but that he admired what the chefs at Ox and Angela did with the comparable ingredients available here. He was also really impressed with the wine list and his favourite thing, hands down, was the incredible taste of the steak (we do somethings better in Alberta!). I loved the bacalao, the potatas bravas and the only thing that made me sad is that I did not save room for the churros. I'll be back for those.
great recommendation from our waitress for the Spanish Table
Great atmosphere, great place to meet up with friends share some delicious food and wine. We had a great time trying the different Tapas.. Price was reasonable. Overall experience was fantastic. We will definately will be coming back
We had the "Spanish Table" for two for dinner. $45 per person. This is 10 small plates, served two at a time. Delicious, lots of flavours, many exciting and tantalizing flavours, both obvious and subtle. Highly recommended!!! Service was probably the best we have had in years in Calgary. Loved the decor. Very satisfying all around.
We ordered the Chef's special and loved everything about it!
Enjoyed brunch Tapas style. Loved each and every dish. Will definitely return for any occasion.
If you're looking for a beacon of life, laughter and noise with great food and nice decor, thats the place for you. Had a late dinner 10:30pm on my birthday and it was an awesome address :) We sat in the lounge part, and had the full menu at $45 with a bit of all their tapas to really try out as much as we could.... Really delicious. Service was discreet, efficient and adorable. Fantastic address
My girlfriend and I had a great night out at OX and Angela. Food was fantastic, the waitress was helpful, and the sangria was delicious. All in all a fantastic relaxing night.
never had a miss meal here. fantastic gourmet tappas, wonderful service and great ambience. one of our favourite local haunts, always leave very full due to the long and tempting menu. be sure to try the potatoes bravas, chorizo sausage and kale salad.
This restaurant is a good place to go if you want to experience something away from the normal 3-4 course meal. We ordered the share list for two and so did the couple with us. The food came in a timely manner and the servers were very helpful. The wine suggested by our waiter was spot on. I would highly recommend Ox and Angela to all our friends. Judy
The service was incredible. The food, though tasty was unfortunately cold.
Loved the sauce they put the bread things in, the Spanish Brushetta was great, the cheese they used was really tasty. And the ham was excellent. Very highly recommend.
O&A was a great choice for my wife's birthday. The cod fritters, stuffed dates, braised kale and roasted cauliflower made for excellent appetizers while the paella was an absolutely delicious main. I hope to be back soon!
Have been here 2x, and it was excellent both times. Food is great. Ambiance is nice (tho it does get noisy when the place fills up). Service hits the right balance of being casual yet attentive. Will definitely be back. You should go.
I went to the restaurant with 4 friends, at about 6pm on a very snowy Calgary night. It was the perfect place to go on a cold and stormy night. Great food, great cocktails and wine, and excellent service. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice evening out, either with friends or with a romantic partner.
A good spot to hit after work friends or clients, great service. Background noise was just high enough that you felt you could communicate openly with out fear of disturbing other dinners. Also low enough that you could still clearly hear everyone at the table. A great dinning experience.
Server was very helpful -- knowledgeable and friendly but not overbearing. Food was well prepared with excellent depth of flavour. Iberico ham; dates with serrano ham; and mushroom/poached egg dish were favourites. Churros y chocolate was a delicious end. Great selection of Spanish reds. We'll be back!
I have been to Ox and Angela many times and they never disappoint!! The friendly staff always remember your face and greet you with a warm, friendly smile. The food is awesome - an eclectic mix of Basque region delights with a twist - thank you for the amazing brunch!
Food was exceptional and fast and the cocktails were tasty and fun. We brought our one year old and although Ox and Angela's is not exactly a 'children's' restaurant the staff were SO accommodating regardless. The service was friendly and the family meal was an experience. We will definitely go back.
Surprised my Husband for his birthday. The food, wine and service all very good. Will definately come back.

You don't pay for tutoring unless you find a good fit!
My name is Karina and I have a BS in Physics and a BA in Math - Advanced Studies Orientation, as well as an MA in Physics from UC Santa Barbara. I am also a native Spanish speaker from Argentina.I really enjoy tutoring because it gives me a chance to be creative. Each person is unique, and so is the way they understand things. That's why I try to understand the way my students think about the subject they are struggling with, so I can explain it in their terms. I am also very patient and don't mind going over something many many times. It just makes it more interesting, because it means I have to come up with a new way to explain it.I have lots of experience tutoring. In math and physics, I have tutored mainly high school and college students. In Spanish, I have tutored people of all ages, from middle school to adults. I have also worked for test preparation companies teaching SSAT and SAT preparation and know lots of 'tricks' to improve scores.
This is one of the subjects I have the most experience tutoring. It's one of my favorite subjects, too, so it's a good combination! I have tutored both high school algebra and college level algebra many times.
Like algebra 1, this is one of my favorites, both to teach and as a subject in general. It's an important one, too, since it teaches all the necessary foundations to move on to precalculus, so I feel it's important to leave no detail out when learning it. I have extensive experience tutoring it, because it's one of the most requested subjects.
I first took Calculus my last year of high school, and I remember it as being quite a paradigm shift from all the math I knew. I then went on to take many more calculus and calculus-based classes, so I became used to these concepts, but I always remember my first encounter with it when I tutor it, since this is more useful than my current knowledge to those who are just starting.
Ironically, my status as a non-native speaker puts me at an advantage over some native speakers in this area. Knowing more than one language (and I know 4!) means I have more sources to draw from when I encounter a word I've never heard before. Also, I'm a bit of an amateur linguist, in that I really enjoy learning about etymologies and word formation. So all these things combined make me have a more extensive vocabulary than many native speakers. However, knowledge alone doesn't make a good tutor... Read More
Most native speakers learn grammar instinctively, so they've never had to learn the rules in the way they are taught in a class. But I, as a speaker of another language, had no choice but to sit through grammar classes to be able to speak in English. Eventually, my knowledge was augmented by the same type of instinctive learning that makes native speakers such good speakers, but I already had a strong formal basis. That, combined with my experience teaching other languages, makes me a very good... Read More
I have probably tutored more people in geometry than in any other subject. This is not surprising, because geometry is the first class where students encounter math of a different kind, involving proofs and abstract concepts rather than simply numbers and operations. This is a very difficult change for many people, but my experience has helped me find new and better ways to explain these new concepts.
I started learning German when I was in 10th grade, and continued having regular classes until my first year in college. After that, I got a scholarship to go study German in Germany, which really helped me improve. Once I got back, I continued taking conversation classes so as not to forget what I had learned, and I have always sought out any opportunity to speak to native speakers.I have also taught someone from complete beginner through to a second year book. Teaching a language... Read More
I am now in a physics PhD program at the University of California, Santa Barbara, studying high energy particle physics. I have been taking physics classes since high school, working up the ladder to the level of knowledge I have today.I have also done a lot of tutoring in physics, both with high school and college students. The two are actually quite different types of tutoring, since the classes focus on very different aspects of learning physics. I love both, since I love every... Read More
This is a formative class: one that will create the foundations upon which to build the rest of the mathematical knowledge students will acquire. This is why when I teach it, I always make sure the students are learning to think about the topics in the right way. Many students tend to try to simply memorize some topics they find hard, or sometimes even to skip some topic they consider of minor importance. I always make sure every single topic is understood, because it will save many hours of tutoring... Read More
This is a very fun subject for me. I have loved it for as long as I have known it. It's also the class where higher level math starts to take shape, and where one first catches a glimpse of what mathematicians really do. But maybe precisely because of that, it can be a tough one for many people, so I have had to tutor students in this subject many times. I like to think they often catch some of my enthusiasm!
I am a native speaker of Spanish and I lived in a Spanish speaking country until I was 20 years old. This means I went to school in Spanish, so I learned all the grammar that many native speakers missed if they grew up in the US.I also have a lot of experience teaching Spanish. I have had several Spanish conversation groups that I coordinated, and which were always a lot of fun. I have also done more traditional tutoring, both for high school and college level classes. Finally, I have... Read More
Trigonometry is such a fun class! I truly consider it an entertaining exercise, and enjoy it as much as doing a crossword puzzle. This means that, when teaching it, I am always very excited and happy about it. I find that this always helps, because there's nothing better than enthusiasm to create interest in a class.I also have quite a lot of experience teaching it, since it is a class that many people struggle with, so I get many requests.
While I have never specialized in this subject, it is often considered a sister-science to physics, and much of the content of it is studied in various physics classes. This is where most of my knowledge comes from.More importantly, I find this subject fascinating, so I have done a lot of independent reading on the matter. I think this is very important for tutoring, because I can transmit my fascination to students with amazing facts and wonderful bits of information. It's sure to... Read More
My expertise in statistics includes a couple of college courses I had to take for my degree in Math, as well as the knowledge I have gained from having tutored some people in this subject. I actually think the latter is more useful for helping those who are struggling with statistics, because having experience tutoring the subject means I am aware of the topics that cause more trouble to most people. Also, my general math knowledge and tutoring experience come in very handy, because they help... Read More
I have double experience with this subject. On the one hand, I am very comfortable with the math content of it, since my occupation requires me to use math on a daily basis. On the other hand, I have worked for test preparation companies, where I received specific SAT training. This means I know many of the "tricks" involved in these types of tests, which is as useful, if not more, than knowing the material.
I had to take both the general GRE (language and math parts) and the specific physics GRE to get into graduate school. I was above the 85th percentile is both parts of the general one. My knowledge of and experience teaching math made the math part quite easy. My knowledge of many languages, and my experience teaching them, helped me in the verbal part.
Physics is my passion, and I'm always happy to share it with students. Those studying physical science for the very first time are an ideal audience for my enthusiasm for this beautiful subject. Being a PhD student, my knowledge is certainly enough, but I believe my ability to transmit my passion is much more important, because it motivates my students to learn.
Having had to study for the TOEFL myself is the best tool I can offer my own students. Not only am I knowledgeable in the test itself and its structure, but also I can relate to anyone studying for the test. From the nerve-racking experience of not understanding something because of the poor sound quality, to the anxious wait until the results are in, I've been through it all. And very successfully! Since then, living in the US has improved my English proficiency even more, making me an even better... Read More
Probability can be a tricky class for many people, because it's a branch of math that is rather unconnected from the other branches students usually learn about. Since there isn't too much to relate it to, it's hard to understand it. The trick is that probability, in its most basic form, is nothing more than counting. Realizing this helped me a lot when I first learned it, and I try to keep it in mind when teaching it to others.
I have taught several elementary school children, mostly in math. I also have a lot of experience in math in general, since all my other experience and education is in this area.Although most of my students in this age range have been 5th and 6th graders, I also have some experience with younger children, including first and second graders. Teaching these young children is a very exciting challenge for me, and very much fun, because I am part of the learning process more than with... Read More
I love teaching science in general, mostly because I love science myself. I have been interested in science from a very early age, and I love to pass on this wonder to other people.As far as experience, I believe most of my experience with elementary school-level science comes from running the Physics Circus at UCSB, a program where we take physics demos to elementary schools to get the kids excited about science. I am the coordinator of the program, which means I am in charge of,... Read More
I have taught several elementary school children. Most of my tutoring has been in math, but I have helped some of them with reading as well. I naturally have more experience in math, since all my other experience and education is in this area, but I have been quite successful with reading as well. I use my knowledge of foreign languages, and my own experience learning new alphabets as an adult, to aid me in the teaching process.Although most of my students in this age range have been...

I have been a tutor for about 8 years, and almost without exception I have found that those students who have good study skills and keep neat, tidy notes do better than the rest. I also have a lot of experience as a student myself, since I have been in school all my life. This has helped me define and refine what good study skills are.I always teach some study skills whenever I'm tutoring something, because I believe it is absolutely necessary to understand a subject in depth, especially...

I have taught English as a second language to many people, from various ages and knowledge levels. Most of my teaching occurred in Argentina, simply because there are more non-English speakers there. However, while in the US, I have continued to teach languages to peoples of all ages. While all languages are different, the thought process that goes into learning to speak a new language is actually very similar and the tools and tricks that I have learned while teaching one language have often...

I have taken both Ordinary Differential Equations and Partial Differential equations, both of which I passed with an A. If my knowledge ended there, I wouldn't consider myself a particularly useful tutor. However, I am a physics graduate student, which means that I use the methods of differential equations all the time in almost all my classes and studies. This has made me quite comfortable with and knowledgeable about these topics.I also have lots of experience tutoring math in general,... Read More
I love cooking and I'm a very good cook (so say my husband and my friends), but I had never considered this something that can be taught. I felt I was almost born with some intuitive knowledge of this. But then I had a roommate who didn't cook. She was very interested in it, but didn't know what to do. To me, this was strange and surprising, so I became her cooking teacher at least once a week. Soon, she was enjoying cooking her own meals, and little by little started being less shy about trying...

I first took linear algebra in my freshman year in college. It was my favorite class that year, and I still continue to enjoy it immensely.Since then, I have taken related math classes which expand upon my knowledge, such as abstract algebra and Fourier analysis, although most of my expertise comes from physics. Classes such as quantum mechanics or even classical mechanics make extensive use of the mathematical tools and concepts studied in linear algebra, and I have taken many of... Read More
I used to work at a test-preparation company teaching SAT and related tests, where I received specialized training in teaching PSAT, SSAT and SAT, among other variations of these. I taught a couple of large classes, but didn't like the "one size fits all" approach. Since then, I have used what I learned with them and my own knowledge as a tutor to help individual students study for these standardized tests.
Being a physics PhD student means using Mathematica on a daily basis. Little by little, I have learned to love this amazing piece of software that seems smarter than me, at times! The syntax is very intuitive once the basics are understood, and the documentation is so extensive and so well organized that it makes learning to use it a breeze. Every time I TA a class, I teach some of my students to use it, because I think it's something that everyone in a scientific field should know.

Two weeks ago, the Congregational Church sold their East Main Street building to St. Mary's Episcopal Church for $1, the price of a cup of coffee. The transaction marks a turning point for both churches.
"We feel spiritually blessed by this donation and this opportunity," says Liz Marshall, of St. Mary's Episcopal Church.
Congregational minister Rev. Emily Heath says the decision to leave the building was a difficult one for church members. "The church was founded in 1780 and has been in Wilmington ever since," Heath says. "But it didn't make sense to keep the doors open for eight or 10 congregants. And the West Dover building was in better shape physically, and had a larger congregation. So the decision was made that the West Dover church would be the UCC church for the valley."
The Wilmington Congregational Church was once the only church in town. Both the building and the group itself can trace its roots back to the town's beginnings. In fact, the early Congregational ministers were supported by local taxes, and one of the first buildings built by early settlers was the Congregational Church, then a log structure located in the old village on Lisle Hill. The building, built with public money, also served as a government building, hosting the town's first Town Meetings and elections. Within a few years, the log structure was torn down and a more traditional church was built.
In 1836, the village moved to its current location along the Deerfield River. A number of buildings were moved from their original locations on Lisle Hill down to the valley. The church was moved down the hill by ox-cart and "resurrected" on a site behind its current location, where Restland Cemetery now lies.
In 1871, the church was moved again, this time to its current location closer to the road. But 11 years later, in 1882, the original structure burned. In 1883, the current church was built over a period of about 10 months, and at a cost of $4,000.
Heath says church members had scheduled a meeting to vote on the disposition of the Wilmington church building on August 28 – the day Tropical Storm Irene hit and flooded the area. That put the decision on the back burner, she says. Wilmington members didn't officially vote to join the West Dover congregation until November.
In the meantime, however, church members offered the use of their building to St. Mary's Episcopal Church.
Even before the flood, St. Mary's was already concerned about repairs that would be needed to their building, located on East Main Street between Greene's Servicenter and Mobil Shortstop. "We didn't know whether to fix the building or sell it," says Marshall.
Then the flood added to their problems. "We got about a foot of water in the building," Marshall says. "We held a couple of services in there after the flood, but after two weeks we said 'This is crazy.'"
The Wilmington Congregational Church came to the rescue, offering the use of the building to St. Mary's at no charge. "They were so generous, incredibly generous," says Marshall. "There was no way we would have been able to hold things together had they not given us the space to worship."
In November, Wilmington Congregational Church members met to decide what to do about their building. "The consensus was that we should offer it to the Episcopal church," Heath says. "We could have looked for commercial offers and sold it, but instead we said we want it to remain a church if it can help St. Mary's."
But St. Mary's wasn't sure they would be able to afford the repairs the building would need and the ongoing maintenance, so they embarked on a study of two options – repairing their old building, or taking on the new building. With the help of the local diocese, St. Mary's soon realized that repairing the old building wasn't practical for them. But the diocese supported the acquisition of the former Congregational church. "As we settled in, it started to feel like 'This is a no-brainer, we're supposed to be in this building,'" jokes Marshall.
And Marshall notes that St. Mary's has gone from one of the least noticeable buildings in town, to perhaps the most beautiful building in the village. The visibility has already brought people to their services. "We've even had people staying at the Crafts Inn come to Sunday services," Marshall says. "That never happened at the other location."
Marshall says St. Mary's is planning to hold an open house to invite the community into their new church, and to thank the many volunteers who helped them during and after the flood. "We're hoping to have a big celebration in September or October when the bishop will come down and consecrate the building. The whole town is invited."
St. Mary's has also welcomed a new priest, Donna Reidt, after nearly a year and a half without a priest. The church also has a new organist, Joan Mayle, because of a time conflict with longtime organist Alan Dann, who also plays for the West Dover Congregational Church. "A new priest, a new organist, a new building, and a lot of excitement," Marshall says.

House leaders line up behind Obama
Earlier Tuesday, the leaders of both parties in the House of Representatives emerged from a White House meeting earlier Tuesday to support Obama's call for American strikes.
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, told reporters the use of poison gas was "a barbarous act" to which only the United States is capable of responding. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-California, added that Washington must respond to actions "outside the circle of civilized human behavior."
But in a written statement later, Boehner said it is up to Obama "to make his case to the American people and their elected representatives" -- including securing support from individual members.
"All votes authorizing the use of military force are conscience votes for members, and passage will require direct, continuous engagement from the White House," the speaker said.
No vote is scheduled before Congress returns from its summer recess on Monday. Kerry defended the delay to seek congressional authorization, saying the move gives the United States time to make its case while adding pressure on al-Assad.
"This is working," Kerry said. "There are defections taking place. There's great uncertainty in Syria. We are building support, a greater understanding, and I would far rather be playing our hand than his at this point in time."
Most of the focus of administration lobbying has been on the House. In the Senate, a Democratic source familiar with Majority Leader Harry Reid's thinking told CNN that Reid is confident any authorization measure will pass his chamber. The source said it is likely 60 votes will be needed to overcome a filibuster, and Reid thinks the votes are there.
U.N. chief calls for end to Security Council 'stalemate'
The United Nations has said more than 100,000 people -- including many civilians -- have been killed in Syria since a popular uprising spiraled into a civil war in 2011. Syrian opposition activists reported another 107 dead on Monday, mostly in Damascus and its suburbs.
New U.N. figures Tuesday point to the staggering impact the war has had on the nation.
The number of Syrians who have fled their war-ravaged country has risen above 2 million, the U.N. refugee agency reported, an increase of nearly 1.8 million people over the past 12 months.
But at the United Nations, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon urged Security Council members to await test results on the samples collected by U.N. inspectors.
"We should avoid further militarization of the conflict and revitalize the search for a political settlement," Ban said. "I take note of the argument for action to prevent further uses of chemical weapons. At the same time, we must consider the impact of any punitive measure on efforts to prevent further bloodshed and facilitate a political resolution of the conflict. The turmoil in Syria and across the region serves nobody."
He urged member states to work through the Security Council, where Syrian allies Russia and China are expected to block any call for military action.
"The Security Council has a duty to move beyond the current stalemate and show leadership," Ban said. "This is a larger issue than the conflict in Syria. This is about our collective responsibility to humankind."
And al-Jaafari, the Syrian envoy, told CNN that all Syrians will be victims "of any escalation of the situation."
"We don't need wars. We need peaceful settlement of conflicts according to the charter of the United Nations," he said.
During Tuesday's hearing, Udall questioned whether the United States should be doing more to pressure Russia and China rather than going around the Security Council. Kerry said the Russians refused to sign off even on a resolution condemning a chemical attack that didn't assign blame.
"That doesn't mean we should turn our backs and say there's nothing we can do," Udall said.
But Kerry responded that if the Security Council is being blocked, "That doesn't mean we should turn our backs and say there's nothing we can do."
U.N. inspectors await test results
U.N. weapons inspectors left Syria on Saturday with samples that will help determine whether chemical weapons were used in the August 21 attack. Those samples will all be at laboratories by Wednesday and will be tested "strictly according to internationally recognized standards," Ban told reporters at U.N. headquarters.
Those tests could take up to three weeks -- and even then, those tests will only determine whether a gas attack took place, not who was behind it.
"If confirmed, the use of chemical weapons by anyone, under any circumstances, will be a serious violation of international law and an outrageous war crime," Ban said.

Dr. Wendler is a Senior Scientist in Philips Research Laboratories, Hamburg, Germany.
W e live in a world of rapid change. In the healthcare system--and in radiology as an integral part of it--we are facing a challenging situation of shrinking budgets, increasing cost pressure, and growing demands to increase the efficiency and quality of services. Reacting to these challenges, healthcare enterprises increasingly rely on Information Technology (IT) solutions. In digital radiology, IT environments integrate various application systems: hospital information systems (HIS), radiology information systems (RIS), picture archiving and communication systems (PACS), and imaging modalities. These systems provide integration on the information level, and are based on working standards that support data exchange (DICOM [Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine] and HL-7 [Health Level 7]). Access to information is an important aspect for radiology, but not the only one. The transition from film-based to digital imaging systems is more than a change of technology for storage, distribution, and display of data. Simultaneously, we see that the processes in radiology and the organization of work change as well. Even more, under new socioeconomic boundary conditions, healthcare institutions are forced to optimize or completely redesign departmental processes to meet their essential medical and commercial targets. Increasingly, business process re-engineering (BPR) and process automation (Workflow Management) are seen as key factors for the successful operation of digital imaging departments and hospitals. This is in line with observations from other industries (e.g., banking or insurance), which are related to medicine in the sense that professionalism and success are based on a strict approach to customer orientation and cost effectiveness.
Managing processes: Where are we now?
Current IT solutions for radiology are rarely designed to explicitly and dynamically support changing processes and flexible organizations. Reports on efficiency improvement and cost reduction after IT installations do not sound overly enthusiastic. Usually, workflow aspects are dealt with in time-consuming and expensive projects, rather than in products that would support this important aspect of system integration. We lack effective concepts to deal with business processes on the departmental level. Functionally, workflow aspects are spread over the entire information system environment, with clear drawbacks, such as: 1) preventing an overall and integrated view of processes and organizations; 2) creating overlap of the existing workflow functionality implemented in the various subsystems, especially in multi-vendor environments; and 3) preventing an adaptation to the specific and changing needs of the institution (process re-engineering and optimization).
What we have achieved so far is integration on the data level, and the standards that support data exchange have improved significantly over the past few years. DICOM, however, the essential "data-driven" standard for radiology, offers very little support for workflow. We have seen attempts to extend DICOM in the workflow direction; however, these extensions do not appear general enough to meet requirements of future workflow-driven systems.
What kind of systems do we envision?
There are demands to move forward and take the next logical step from pure data management to an environment with integrated data and workflow services. What we want are information systems that are explicitly designed to: 1) contribute to efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and a high standard of medical services; 2) flexibly support the key processes and organization in changing medical institutions; and 3) support the radical re-engineering, permanent optimization, and automation of processes to meet economic and medical needs.
Workflow Management Services with model-based enactment of workflow have to be integral parts of medical IT solutions. Workflow architectures and standards are needed to support this.
What is workflow?
Unfortunately, the term workflow is frequently misused to describe certain aspects of data flow. We suggest using the standard workflow vocabulary as defined by the Workflow Management Coalition, 1,2 the most important standardization body in this area: workflow is the automation of a business process, in whole or part, during which documents, information, or tasks are passed from one participant to another for action, according to a set of procedural rules.
Workflow deals with processes, and the flow of data is just one aspect of it. Other aspects include: Modelling the sequence of activities and subactivities (process models); modelling all aspects of human resources (organizational models); management of operational units (equipment, devices, tools), locations (rooms, workplaces), and materials (consumables); organization and tracking of patient flow; and the adherence to all kind of medical, political, economic, legal, and time constraints.
Figure 1 depicts an extremely simplified typical workflow-centric view of radiology that emphasizes the process aspect. 3 The left and right sides of the diagram show application system components implemented as functional modules of RIS, PACS, and imaging modalities. As shown, these components are needed in well-defined activities of the diagnostic process. In the middle the process itself is illustrated, represented by explicit process models that are enacted at run time using a workflow management system (WfMS). In figure 1, the conceptual independence of an autonomous workflow management service and the application systems becomes obvious.
At run time of an IT environment, previously defined process models are selected, initiated, and enacted. In radiology, a typical trigger event to start a particular process is the registration of a request for a specific kind of radiological study. After process start, the sequence of events follows the process model accordingly. The activities that represent each step are either fully automated (e.g., pre-fetching images, which is performed by a PACS component) or done manually by workflow participants. In the latter case, work items are passed to workflow participants in terms of worklists, which are presented to users in the appropriate look-and-feel of their dedicated application system. Typical examples are worklists like "Cases to be reported" in a softcopy diagnosis PACS workstation, or "Scheduled patients to be registered" in a RIS.
A workflow service can be built using workflow management technology and commercial off-the-shelf WfMS. In general, these systems allow users to define, create, and manage the execution of workflow through the use of software, running on one or more workflow engines, which are able to interpret process definitions, interact with workflow participants, and, where required, invoke the use of IT tools and applications. Some basic terminology issues for WfMS are presented in figure 2.
In particular, workflow management systems provide: 1) build-time tools to model processes in terms of activities and state-transitions, and model the organization in terms of organizational units and workflow participants; and 2) run-time tools (workflow engines) to match workflow participants and activities, put processes into action, and provide worklists according to the state of processes.
Until now, workflow management systems have proven their usefulness outside the healthcare domain. There are more than 100 commercially available WfMS on the market, with very different implementation strategies and modelling paradigms. Application-independent and process-oriented systems look promising as candidates for use in radiology.
Workflow-enabled application systems
Following the workflow approach, future application systems need to fit into workflow architectures. These "workflow-enabled"applications need--in addition to data-oriented (DICOM) interfaces--connections to the department's or the hospital's workflow enactment service. A set of standard interfaces has been defined by the Workflow Management Coalition. 2 These interfaces have to play an essential role in workflow architectures, although up to now they have only been implemented by a few WfMS manufacturers and still have to mature. The definition and consolidation of workflow architectures is certainly one of the next steps for the introduction of workflow management in radiology.
Fully digital radiology departments potentially work more efficiently, at a lower cost, and offer new options to improve the services. Introducing information technology as such, however, will not automatically improve processes. Current IT solutions in radiology are predominantly data-focused. For the challenges of the future we need process integration in addition to data integration. The design of information systems needs to support re-engineering and process automation. As a starting point, it will be essential to think "process-oriented" and understand healthcare processes, which requires a deep knowledge of current processes and an awareness of changes and future trends that will shape and automate future processes. Workflow management appears to be a promising approach to support processes in the healthcare domain, and a valuable contribution to increase efficiency and reduce costs. It appears attractive for the automation of the majority of structured, routine processes in radiology. For processes of ad-hoc nature (e.g., in emergency situations), it must be complemented by groupware concepts.
WfM can be implemented by Workflow Management Systems, which should be integrated as separate, autonomous system components. They should be independent of the capabilities and limitations of the attached application systems (RIS, PACS, and imaging modalities), and should provide scalability to the enterprise level (as radiology is a sub-process within a healthcare enterprise). Autonomous workflow services will facilitate the implementation of workflow management in multivendor environments, and will enable the use of commercial off-the-shelf Workflow Management Systems with powerful build-time and run-time tools. This concept calls for common architectures and standardized interfaces between the WfMS and the various "workflow-enabled" application systems. It is recommended to adopt and apply the existing standards defined by the Workflow Management Coalition, in addition to the data-oriented standards we already have. AR

"Please, sir, I want some more."Oliver Twist
"The eyes!"Bill Sikes
"We need to be careful how we deal with those about us, when every death carries to some small circle of survivors, thoughts of so much omitted and so little done—of so many things forgotten and so many more things which might have been repaired! There is no remorse so deep as that which is unavailing; if we would be spared its tortures, let us remember this in time."Charles Dickens
"I have said that they were truly happy; and without strong affection and humanity of heart, and gratitude to that Being whose code is Mercy and whose great attribute is Benevolence to all things that breathe, happiness can never be attained. Within the altar of the old village church there stands a white marble tablet which bears as yet but one word: "Agnes". . . . I believe that the shade of Agnes sometimes hovers round the solemn nook. I believe it none the less because that nook is in a Church, and she was weak and erring."Charles Dickens
"At times he <Sikes> turned with desperate determination, resolved to beat this phantom off, though it should look him dead; but the hair rose on his head and his blood stood still, for it had turned with him and was behind him then. He had kept it before him that morning, but it was behind now—always. He leaned his back against a bank, and felt that it stood above him, visibly out against the cold night sky. He threw himself upon the road—on his back upon the road. At his head it stood, silent, erect, and still—a living grave-stone, with its epitaph in blood. Let no man talk of murderers escaping justice, and hint that Providence must sleep. There were twenty score of violent deaths in one long minute of that agony of fear."
"Stay another moment," interposed Rose. . . . "Will you return to this gang of robbers, and to this man, when a word can save you? What fascination is it that can take you back, and make you cling to wickedness and misery?" "When ladies as young, and good, and beautiful as you are," replied the girl <Nancy> steadily, "give away your hearts, love will carry you all lengths—even such as you, who have home, friends, other admirers, everything, to fill them. When such as I, who have no certain roof but the coffin-lid, and no friend in sickness or death but the hospital nurse, set our rotten hearts on any man, and let him fill the place that has been a blank through all our wretched lives, who can hope to cure us? Pity us, lady—pity us for having only one feeling of the woman left and for having that turned, by a heavy judgment, from a comfort and a pride into a new means of violence and suffering."
"Who can describe the pleasure and delight, the peace of mind and soft tranquility, the sickly boy felt in the balmy air and among the green hills and rich woods of an inland village! Who can tell how scenes of peace and quietude sink into the minds of pain-worn dwellers in close and noisy places, and carry their own freshness deep into their jaded hearts! Men who have lived in crowded, pent-up streets, through lives of toil, and who have never wished for change—men to whom custom has indeed been second nature, and who have come almost to love each brick and stone that formed the narrow boundaries of their daily walks—even they, with the hand of death upon them, have been known to yearn at last for one short glimpse of Nature's face, and, carried far from the scenes of their old pains and pleasures, have seemed to pass at once into a new state of being."
"So they established the rule that all poor people should have the alternative (for they would compel nobody, not they) of being starved by a gradual process in the house, or by a quick one out of it. With this view, they contracted with the waterworks to lay on an unlimited supply of water, and with a corn-factor to supply periodically small quantities of oatmeal, and issued three meals of thin gruel a day, with an onion twice a week and half a roll on Sundays. They made a great many other wise and humane regulations . . . kindly undertook to divorce poor married people . . . instead of compelling a man to support his family, as they had theretofore done, took his family away from him, and made him a bachelor! There is no saying how many applicants for relief, under these last two heads, might have started up in all classes of society, if it had not been coupled with the workhouse; but the board were long-headed men, and had provided for this difficulty."
"Day was dawning when they again emerged. A great multitude had already assembled; the windows were filled with people, smoking and playing cards to beguile the time; the crowd were pushing, quarreling, joking. Everything told of life and animation but one dark cluster of objects in the centre of all the black stage, the cross-beam, the rope, and all the hideous apparatus of death."
"Among other public buildings in a certain town, which for many reasons it will be prudent to refrain from mentioning, and to which I will assign no fictitious name, there is one anciently common to most towns, great or small: to wit, a workhouse; and in this workhouse was born; on a day and date which I need not trouble myself to repeat, inasmuch as it can be of no possible consequence to the reader, in this stage of the business at all events; the item of mortality whose name is prefixed to the head of this chapter."
"The shop-boys in the neighbourhood had long been in the habit of branding Noah, in the public streets, with the ignominious epithets of 'leathers,' 'charity,' and the like; and Noah had borne them without reply. But, now that fortune had cast in his way a nameless orphan, at whom even the meanest could point the finger of scorn, he retorted on him with interest. This affords charming food for contemplation. It shows us what a beautiful thing human nature may be made to be; and how impartially the same amiable qualities are developed in the finest lord and the dirtiest charity-boy."
"'Stop thief! Stop thief!' The cry is taken up by a hundred voices, and the crowd accumulate at every turning. Away they fly, splashing through the mud, and rattling along the pavements: up go the windows, out run the people, onward bear the mob, a whole audience desert Punch in the very thickest of the plot, and, joining the rushing throng, swell the shout, and lend fresh vigour to the cry, 'Stop thief! Stop thief!'"
"The persons on whom I have bestowed my dearest love, lie deep in their graves; but, although the happiness and delight of my life lie buried there too, I have not made a coffin of my heart, and sealed it up, for ever, on my best affections. Deep affliction has but strengthened and refined them."Mr Brownlow
"The boy was lying, fast asleep, on a rude bed upon the floor; so pale with anxiety, and sadness, and the closeness of his prison, that he looked like death; not death as it shows in shroud and coffin, but in the guise it wears when life has just departed; when a young and gentle spirit has, but an instant, fled to Heaven, and the gross air of the world has not had time to breathe upon the changing dust it hallowed."
"Gradually, he fell into that deep tranquil sleep which ease from recent suffering alone imparts; that calm and peaceful rest which it is pain to wake from. Who, if this were death, would be roused again to all the struggles and turmoils of life; to all its cares for the present; its anxieties for the future; more than all, its weary recollections of the past!"
Vocabulary is very advanced. The ending is slightly disturbing.
