3-D Printing Pioneer Starts by Letting You Design Eyeglasses
CREDIT: Make Eyewear
Glasses are one of the hardest pieces of apparel to shop for. They are more visible than any other accessory, and their style can define their owners. Frameless and small? Intense businessman. Thick and black? Such a hipster. Circular wire frames? Stop living in the 1960s, you hippie. That self-defining power makes glasses the perfect match for the customization provided by the 3-D printing retailer Make Eyewear.
Founded by David Minich, a 22-year old industrial designer, Make Eyewear will take any glasses frame design, no matter how crude or outlandish, and fabricate it for $450. Users can submit their designs in any form, from a finished 3-D model to collages to scribbled notes, Minich will optimize the schematic for comfort and lens fit, and the one-of-a-kind new pair will arrive in the mail a few weeks later.
"I was looking for a pair of eye glasses, and I didn't find the one I was looking for. So I decided to take what I already know, industrial design, into a product," Minich told InnovationNewsDaily. "I wanted to combine 3-D printing with a real product, products that have a real function. We were just playing around with the technology."
The company currently offers two services: one that sells premade prescription and sunglasses, and the custom service, which allows users to explore their imagination by crafting the most personal, avant-garde or optimized frames they can imagine.
But Make Eyewear is more than simply another service peddling tchotkes over the Internet. Instead, Make Eyewear confronts some of the main intellectual challenges that prevent 3-D printing from achieving its potential. Minich deliberately aims the company to take a stand on such issues as intellectual property, the bias of user-submitted design and the inability of customers to use complex 3-D modeling software.
Currently, advances in 3-D printing have pushed the retail industry into the same position the music industry found itself in ten years ago, and the film industry found itself in a few years ago. Potentially, a customer could send Make Eyewear a design the directly copies a much more expensive pair of designer glasses. However, Minich has set strict guidelines preventing such bootlegging, and protecting the intellectual property of his competitors even in the face of an open source movement.
Three-D printing suffers from a user-based community bias; that is, its most popular designs tend to be of the least usefulness exemplified by the far higher greater number of designs available online for 20-sided dice compared with for forks or key chains. The desire to show off the commercial potential of 3-D printing by producing a widely useful product served as his impetus, Minich said.
Make Eyewear currently offers two services: one that sells premade prescription and sunglasses, and the custom service that allows users to explore their imagination by crafting the most personal, avant-garde or optimized frames they can imagine.
Minich addresses some of the main challenges to the potential growth of the 3-D printing industry, including the issue of intellectual property rights and the inability of customers to use complex 3-D modeling software.
By using his design skills to translate simple sketches, Minich lowers the barrier that would-be designers encounter at other websites, which require particular 3-D software knowledge. Meanwhile, he stands guard against copycat designers. Advances in 3-D printing have pushed the retail industry into the same position the music and film industries found themselves in within the past 10 years, coming up against an open source movement.
Potentially, a customer could send Make Eyewear a design that directly copies an expensive pair of designer glasses. Minich has set strict guidelines to prevent such bootlegging and protect the intellectual property of his competitors.
"We refuse any offers to copy a pair of glasses exactly. They can use a pair of glasses as inspiration, but as an industrial designer myself, I take that very personally. I think that will be a real legal problem moving forward," Minich said. "The biggest obstacle in the future will be for designers to find a new way to differentiate themselves from other services, to bring something new to the table."
So far, the designs submitted to Make Eyewear's custom line will remain largely private, with some of the better designs making their way into a permanent collection pending the designer's approval. Still unsure about instituting a Threadless-style crowdsourcing system, Minich continues to look for a new business model that will serve consumers, provide designers with an outlet that values their work, and leverage this new technology to the full of its potential.
"What I'm trying to emphasize is what designers might be capable of with 3-D printing. These larger companies need to invest a lot of money in new production lines. With 3-D printing, that cost comes way down, which allows you to take many more risks," Minich said.
"I absolutely love 3-D printing, and I want to really make sure it passes on as a new means of production in the mainstream."


text: 22 February 2010 Source The essays in Black Victorians/Black Victoriana are varied and fascinating, ranging from the everyday lives of African Brits to the portrayal of blackness by the British, and, in turn, how the British defined themselves by their whiteness. The topics of these essays are divided into three general areas: the black experience in Britain, the interaction between Africans, African-Americans, British, and African-Brits, and representations of being black in Victorian culture. I enjoyed the essays that focused on aspects of the black experience—nevermind Victorian— that I had never even considered before. Joan Anim-Addo's "Queen Victoria's 'Black Daughter', examines the life and circumstances surrounding Sally Bonetta Forbes, a young orphaned West African child whom the King of Dohomey presents to Queen Victoria as a "gift" in 1850. Sally was the first of a long line of Empire adoptees who entered the Queen's household as "properties of the crown" and were raised as the Queen's proteges. Other interesting essays included about the black experience is a profile on Pablo Fanque, a black circus proprietor who ran the most successful circus in England for 30 years, and the biracial classical composer Samuel Coleridge-Taylor. The conclusions each of these essays make about race relations during Victorian England vary, even contradict each other. Fanque, for instance, is widely respected and defended by the general public as a performer, and Coleridge-Taylor's historical biographers skid more about his white mother's illegitimate parentage and servant class than his Nigerian father's background. On the other hand, other pieces such as "Mrs. Seacole's Wonderful Adventures in Many Lands and the Consciousness of Transit" (titled after her memoir of the same name), focuses on the prejudice the Crimean War heroine and nurse Mary Seacole faced from the British medical establishment —and from Florence Nightingale's all-white company of nurses—when on the front lines. And the essay "The Blackface Clown" explains the roots of blackface in England, framed around the concept of "blackness" as the racial Other onto which white Brits transposed everything they considered "unBritish." The most interesting essay in the collection is Neil Parsons' "No Longer Rare Birds in London," a record about the travels of four different African envoys to England. Representatives from these African kingdoms visited England in order to petition for various reasons, from protesting British occupation to appealing for protection against other European powers. Parsons gives a detailed itinerary account of what each group experienced. Some incidents during their journey were very telling of the conflicting views of black and Africans in Victorian England. For instance, when King Cetshwayo of the Zulu visited in 1882, he was whisked away in a special train because the colonial ministers didn't want the public—who were only familiar with "Zulu warriors" as depicted by mostly African and African-American circus performers and from the news of the crushing British defeat by the Zulu nation in 1879—"to make a spectacle of him." The king, however, was unexpectedly received by cheering crowds and enjoyed being recognized in the streets as the leader of the battle. The envoys reactions to England are also intriguing. Many compared the packed urban sprawl of London to locusts and the Ndebele envoys remarked how the British "worshiped the god of money while they spoke of the God of Love" and how "the hands of the European never tire of making things. It is for this reason that white men's faces are often so fatigued and sad. They wage war with each other not for virile glory or to test their strength, but for things." dmp | Beyond Victoriana #13: Black Victoriana and Thensome via bonesarecoralmade: clingtomymouth

Branding is important. It is the factor that allows your company to stand out, gives your company a voice, and gives you leverage over other similar companies. Having a strong brand is similar translates to having a strong presence in your industry and being a company that others turn to. Color is the most noticed aspect of a brand, and color is everything!
Color is best used when integrated throughout the company, making appearances in the logo, landing pages, websites, products, and more to ensure maximum continuity. The most popular branding colors used by successful brands are red, blue, greyscale, and yellow. As the marketing intern at LIVESTRONG, I have an affinity to yellow, feel the impact of a strong brand, and see what it has done to the community.

In today's modern world there are several "green" movements that are attempting to enrich the planet and make it a better, more sustainable place to live. Activities ranging from planting trees to using biodegradable or reusable grocery bags are among the ways that people are helping the environment, but one of the most vitally important ways to help involves getting from Point A to Point B: carpooling and public transportation.
Today's infographic from creditdonkey.com outlines the positive impact that increased public transportation has made in the past few years. Thanks to so many people opting not to use their cars, as much as 37 million tons of CO2 are not released and 340 million gallons of fuel aren't used annually. That's a lot of saved money on gas!
If you live in a metropolitan area, public transportation is a great way to not only dip less into our natural resources but also to help potentially save a good deal of money on the cost of getting around, and carpooling can be equally as helpful for those that don't live near public means of transportation.

As the industrial and economic age of technology has evolved, so has the availability of food year-round. In fact, much of the produce found in giant supermarkets are now almost omnipresent. But to accept that these foods are of the utmost quality and quantity (by which I mean $) year-round is quite a fallacy. If you find yourself eating strawberries around Christmas time for instance, it's most likely those strawberries were picked well over half a year ago and stored in some facility to keep until you bought them at your market. So what's the problem? Why is it bad to eat any fruit I want, whenever I want?
Well, while there might not be anything incredibly wrong with it, if you buy your produce by the season, the chances that your fruits and vegetables being much cheaper, fresher, and tastier is much more likely. There's a reason why most restaurants around the world buy by the season. Also, something is lost in both the flavor and nutrients when you artificially keep these foods 'alive' for that long. P.S. for all of you environmentally conscious folks, the carbon footprint that is produced from shipping and storing these fruits and vegetables year-round is quite substantial. So go ahead and visit your local produce market co-op farmers market community garden whatever and get some EATS! Or even better, grow your own!

Google has made search engine optimization, or SEO, one of the most important marketing avenues in modern times. Fueling almost all of Google's profits, search marketing is now an established activity and has been figured out almost to a science. Although Google does change their ranking algorithms quiet frequently, it is still a very difficult task to organically make the first page of a search.
As Facebook was introduced to the masses and quickly gained their 500+ million user audience, social media marketing blew up. Now, in less than a decade, most established firms have an employee who's main occupation is working on social media. Is social media worth it though? Can it prove itself as a viable marketing option vs SEO? Check out the video below and you may be surprised![MDGAdvertising]

I'll tell you I love you and I'll honor you somehow
Hear my promise to you in this new years vow I give

You'll be all of my life and I'll never think twice to
do all that you have for me
In my new years vow
Lord I'll do my best to do, all that I say
I'm not perfect but I know, that's OK
If I stumble you won't condemn my shame
I'm going to make a vow to repent an turn to you

Just do it a position your ex didn't like.
It's only wrong if that person is the reason you have an ex. Otherwise, proceed to plow.
The back porch is always a great place to fuck a girl.

I've been wondering something lately.
My photography isn't very good, and when I look at some pf's on here it blows my mind how creative and talented a lot of photographers are.
I'm a very logical Left Brain person as opposed to a creative Right Brain Person.
Do you think Right Brainers make better photographers?
Maybe this is why my shots are c**p!
I can design a crackin' Excel Spreadsheet though!!!!
Hi Elaine,
Totally agree - my excel spreadsheets are great but my appreciation of the artistic is sadly lacking sometimes.
To counter that I'm now reading art books and thinking about composition much much more, i can build and deconstruct a shot but i'm not yet easily able to image and compose.
Keep up your right brain exercises
Elaine: its just you need to make more mistakes....we all do well! possibly just take more pix and the formula is
more pix = more mistakes / good pix (*edit / crop) *dont listen to others / look at the greats = happiness
not sure IF it will fit on excel though!
;-0 sarcasm from a geordie boy!
Looking at pictures from 'the greats' is good as is making a lot of mistakes. What you need to do is spend a bit of time analysing great images to see what makes them tick as well as taking a cold, hard look at your own stuff (including your best) and asking yourself how you can make it better.
BTW, this process never stops....
Being too analytical can definitely hinder some forms of photography. For example I will often be on a walk with the dogs and see a pattern in the leaves which will make me stop; I then think 'is it worth taking' and by the time I have humm'ed and ha'ed the moment is gone or I end up not taking it - then I see someone else with a similar photo and think 'boy, that's good' .
I guess some photography are suited to very analytical personalities such as still life, macro etc and I find I am very interested in abstract subjects like patterns etc rather than 'telling a story' which (in my mind) requires more creativity and viewer engagement.
Speaking for myself, the over-analysis often comes with feeling in control and some caution as a result of 'not being sure'. When I am going through one of my more intense photo periods I become more comfortable and the over-analysis gradually drops off and spontenaiety starts to creep in.
If you think you can be over analytical, take a look at Gregory Crewdson's work.
I'd guess that the reason someone doesn't take a picture isn't over analysis - but lack of vision.
There's always a picture in there somewhere we just can't fully see it and we move on after stopping, pausing, reflecting and looking - but not being convinced.
Let's not flatter ourselves that we're too cerebral by calling it over-analysis. I think it's a different, more fundamental shortcoming.
I'm about average with "XL", I guess but I'm much more of a whizz using "Publisher."
To the point where I've found it lacking and much prefer Serif's "PagePlus" version which is considerably more complicated.
Regarding photography, I'm something of an opportunist.
I "see" photographs everywhere and take shots of anything that catches my eye. I've been doing it for decades yet I've never found a specific type or genre that has particular appeal.
Also, I have a flagrant disregard for the supposed "rules of composition" and although I 'm sure I apply some of them because I think a shot looks better a certain way, I never deliberately use any of them.
I don't think I ever really analyse any of my work. Either I like it or I don't. I don't concern myself much with why I do or don't like it.
What does all of that tell you about my brain . . .?
Quote: more pix = more mistakes / good pix (*edit / crop) *dont listen to others / look at the greats = happiness
not sure IF it will fit on excel though!
Thanks for your formula for success Pablo - I think I'll avoid applying it in my job though!!
NO silly it's justa formula
you just did what most did and cut/paste silly billy!
you need to input the names of greats, style of photographer, editing suite etc.
BUT REMEMBER the camera HAS NOTHING TO DO with pictures!
(wonder who is the first to shoot at me? mmm?)
wot are you like?
seriously what style / genre do you want to emulate first?

Al Qaeda take responsibility for Iranian embassy blast in Beirut
The Abdullah Azzam Brigades, a Lebanese Sunni jihadist group affiliated to militant group Al Qaeda, has claimed responsibility for a twin suicide bomb attack in Beirut on Tuesday morning that targeted the Iranian embassy.
The claim of responsibility for the bombing was made by the Abdullah Azzam Brigades' leader, Sheikh Siraj al-Din Zureiqat, in the name of Saraya al-Hussein bin Ali, according to a BBC report.
The leader warned that attacks would continue in Lebanon until Iranian forces left Syria and prisoners were released in Lebanon, the BBC added.
The explosions, that targeted the vicinity of the Iranian embassy and a popular suburb of Beirut where Iranian diplomats often stay, have killed at least 22 people so far, according to the Iranian cultural attache..
The death toll is growing, according to BBC news. The Iranian cultural attache Ebrahim Ansari was among the dead

Fed hints rate rise as soon as next springUpdated: 2014-03-20 21:53:55 KST
U.S. Federal Reserve officials have made another 10-billion dollar reduction in their bond-buying stimulus program, as widely expected.
After her first monetary policy meeting as Fed chair, Janet Yellen said Wednesday that the economy is strong enough to support continued improvement in the labor market.
The program was at 85-billion a month in December and the fresh cut will take it to 55 billion.
While Yellen said that the central bank expects to keep interest rates near zero for a "considerable time" after the bond-buying program ends this fall, she hinted that it could start raising rates next spring.
"The language that we use in this statement is considerable, period. So this is the kind of term it's hard to define, but probably means something on the order of around six months or that type of thing."
The Fed tried, however, to set the market at ease, saying it would look at a wide range of economic indicators to make a judgment on the economy's readiness for higher rates.
It also said that it would no longer link its future decision to increase rates to the unemployment rate, as the jobless rate has fallen faster than expected.
Despite the assurance, financial markets reacted swiftly to her comments, with U.S. stocks and government bonds falling.
Market analysts say that the Fed's fresh forecasts show a shift to a more hawkish policy stance than what they had been seeing just a few months ago.

We present a case involving a 36-year-old man who had a feeling that his right ear was obstructed and who had associated conductive hearing loss that was exacerbated by nose blowing. On otoscopy, a soft-tissue swelling was seen in the posterosuperior aspect of the right external auditory canal. Computed tomography revealed the presence of hyperaerated mastoid air cells and an air-containing cavity connected with the enlarged mastoid air cells, narrowing the external auditory canal. A radiographic diagnosis of a mastoid pneumocele with secondary pneumatocele was made. A novel hypothesis is presented, that high nasal pressures play an important role in the progressive formation of a pneumocele/pneumatocele as a result of air invasion via the eustachian tube. Symptoms disappeared after a myringotomy tube was placed. Computed tomography performed 6 months later showed an impressive remodeling of the temporal bone
The author describes a rare case of external auditory canal cholesteatoma. This particular case occurred in a 20-year-old woman who had undergone a tympanoplasty 1 year earlier. Previous tympanoplasty is one of several known predisposing factors for external auditory canal cholesteatoma. The mass was excised, and it was diagnosed on histopathology. The patient recovered uneventfully.
The angles formed by the tympanic membrane and the external ear canal anteriorly, anteroinferiorly, and inferiorly can pose surgical challenges, and the spaces they form can harbor iatrogenic cholesteatoma. The range of values previously reported for these angles-27° to 60°-seems not to have been determined in a clinically applicable manner. To clinically describe the tympanum-canal angles, assess bilateral symmetry, assess the angles relative to mastoid pneumatization, and assess the relationship of the angles to manubrium orientation in the skull, the author conducted a postmortem anatomic study of 41 bequeathed adult crania without clinical otitis media. As viewed through the external ear canal, the tympanum-canal angles were measured in 10° increments anteriorly, anteroinferiorly, and inferiorly relative to the line of the manubrium. Mastoid sizes were determined radiographically. In the right ear, the tympanum-canal angles ranged from 40° to 60° anteriorly (median: 55°), from 50° to 70° anteroinferiorly (median: 60°), and from 70° to 80° inferiorly (median: 75°). Bilateral symmetry was found (each rs ≥ 0.69, p < 0.001). Although the angles did not correlate with either mastoid pneumatization or manubrium orientation relative to the Frankfort plane, nonvisualization of the annulus anteriorly was significantly more common in specimens with well-pneumatized mastoids (p < 0.05). The author concludes that the tympanum-canal angles anteriorly, anteroinferiorly, and inferiorly have comparatively narrow ranges, exhibit bilateral symmetry, and are unrelated to both mastoid size and manubrium orientation in the skull.
We report the case of a 49-year-old man who presented with left aural fullness, hearing loss, and a stenotic left external auditory meatus. Physical examination and computed tomography revealed the presence of an idiopathic ossification of the cartilaginous auricle and external auditory canal. The patient was successfully treated with meatoplasty. Pathologic examination of the removed specimen revealed osseous metaplasia.
A 67-year-old man presented with a long history of hearing loss. He denied otorrhea, otalgia, and a history of ear infections.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) -- So, you're not a fan of clipping coupons or sorting through the weekly specials? Don't worry, there are still ways to save some money at the supermarket.
Start with the perimeter of the store. That's were the produce section, the meat and seafood sections and the dairy cases usually are. Avoiding the middle aisles of prepackaged snacks can not only help avoid impulse buys and save you money, but it can make for a healthier basket too.
When comparing the prices of brands or when comparing brand names versus the store's brand, the key number is the unit price. That's the price per pound, per ounce or per pint. You'll likely see it on the shelf next to the item's price.
Items on sale and items purchased in bulk can be a great way to save money, but only if you're going to use all of it. Otherwise, it's just a waste of money and food.
Before putting items in your cart, especially dairy items like yogurt, for example, check the expiration dates.
If you really can't avoid the temptation of those inner grocery aisles, try placing an order online either for deliver or for pickup, which are services supermarkets are increasingly offering. It can let you run down your grocery list at home and stick items in your virtual cart without in-store distractions.
If you have a consumer issue you'd like us to look into send an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Buckcherry Previews "Envy" with Behind the Scenes Videos
Here's a sneak peak into the making of the band's next album.
Here's a sneak peak into the making of the band's next album.
Chevelle's a band that I didn't get into until late in their career. I had heard the name kicked around for years but never really checked 'em out until I heard "I Get It" on the radio. I had heard a couple of songs before that in passing but "I Get It" was the song that me "get it" (bad pun) when it came to Chevelle so I picked up Vena Sera and that pretty much sealed the deal for me.
Despite pop stars and Christmas albums ruling the charts, rock acts are claiming their spots on the Billboard 200 tally.
Back in the day, the release of a concert album used to be a sure sign that a band was not going to be putting out a new studio effort anytime soon.
Chevelle fans can rest easy, however. Even though the Chicago-bred group released the live collection 'Any Last Words' in the spring, a new studio disc is on the way, just in time for the year-end holiday season.

Huge Galdones started out as that guy at the next table taking photos of his food just for kicks. Now, he's the guy making a living out of taking photos of other people's food.
In the three years he's lived in Chicago, Galdones, 32, has become one of the city's go-to shooters for all things food. He has photographed the Food and Wine Classic in Aspen for the past five years and Cochon 555, a traveling pig cooking competition for chefs, for four years. In one recent week's span, he went to Aspen on assignment for Fiji Water; sweated it out at the Green City Market Chef's BBQ in Chicago, then flew to Toronto for another pork-heavy event called the Hogtown Throwdown. The big, bald Filipino dude gets around.
Galdones hadn't exactly planned on this as a career. He has a Ph.D. in pharmacology and therapeutics. He moved to Chicago from his hometown of Montreal for a post-doctoral fellowship at Northwestern. But food and photography were always in the background.
During grad school, Galdones worked in the kitchen at Joe Beef, the celebrated Montreal restaurant. When the owners asked him to shoot some of their food and his photos ended up in Food & Wine and Forbes magazines, Galdones took that as a sign that this food photography thing wasn't a total lark.
His go-to spots after being on the road: "Hand down, number one, would be Fat Rice (2957 W. Diversey) for their XO noodles. I'm in love with those things. It's the flavor and texture. When those noodles hit the wok, you get those crispy edges, and that XO sauce is spectacular. And I always crave Nightwood (2119 S. Halsted) for anything. I love the burger there."
You can take the boy out of Montreal, but... : "I've been floored by how good the smoked meat at Fumare (131 N. Clinton, Chicago French Market) is. They do really good justice to the protein part of Montreal smoked meat. They use different bread, but the meat is just amazing. If you go there before service, before the meat has a chance to dry out, it's the best there is. The Reno (2607 N. Milwaukee) bagel is not a Montreal bagel but it's the closest thing to it. I love all their bagels. I haven't found good poutine that I adore in Chicago, but I will go to BadHappy (939 N. Orleans). I'm very particular. Chefs here don't do the fries justice."
When the Filipino craving hits: "I would eat out at Filipino restaurants if my wife ate Filipino food. She doesn't. That being said, I love the kare-kare (oxtail stew) at Isla Pilipina (2501 W. Lawrence). Uni-Mart (5845 N. Clark) has two things I always get. Their lumpia is how my mom makes it. It's overfried. It reminds me of a family picnic. And then their chicharron bulaklak (fried pork mesentery). I think they use leaf lard from inside the stomach. It's super, super fatty. I brought my parents there. They loved it. My father said he hadn't seen it anywhere in Montreal. It took him back to his childhood. I've never seen him cry over food before. I'm not even joking."
Trends to take a pass on: "People's fascination with poutine I could do without, because [Chicago restaurants] just don't do it right.
One trend I do like is this upswing of fried chicken. I welcome that with open arms. I like the fried chicken at Allium (120 E. Delaware, Four Seasons Hotel), and the one at Little Goat (820 W. Randolph) is pretty good.
"And I'm over cupcakes and doughnuts. Don't get me wrong — I love doughnuts. But everyone's doing it. Some do it well, but it's become a little saturated." Janet Rausa Fuller is a local free-lance writer.

For Mental Floss. Man, I loved those books growing up. Besides the scary-adventure variety, there was also a nature photo series of CYOA books that I paged through obsessively at the library—like "Could You Be a Frog?" where you had to make life and death decisions like "There's some geese over there: hide in the grass, or hop towards the river?"
Needless to say I was psyched to illustrate this.
Thanks to my AD Joshua Moore!

March for Babies benefits local children, funds research
By Katie Demeria
WINCHESTER -- Rebecca Wood of Linden said she walks because someone once walked for her daughter.
Wood's family is this year's Piedmont-Shenandoah Valley Division March of Dimes ambassador family. She and her 21-month-old daughter Charlie will lead this year's annual March of Babies in Winchester on May 31.
Charlie was born at 26 weeks, weighing 1 pound, 11 ounces. Her lungs were underdeveloped, Wood said. Charlie did not have pulmonary surfactants so she had to undergo surfactant therapy.
"March of Dimes funded the research to develop that," Wood said. "She wouldn't have survived without it."
This year's March for Babies, the organization's premier event, according to Chairwoman Yvonne Shoemaker, will take place on May 31 on the Winchester Medical Center campus.
In the past, the Northern Shenandoah Valley has supported two smaller March for Babies, one in Front Royal and the other in Winchester. This year, though, one larger event will take place in Winchester with a goal set at $125,000.
Though March of Dimes is a national event, 84 percent of the funds raised with March for Babies will stay in Virginia, unlike most other states, according to Community Director Lynn Downs.
"I think that March of Dimes is the organization that works very quietly but successfully helping us have healthy babies," Shoemaker said. "In the community we work very quietly, if you think about it, but we work very hard to achieve that mission that all babies can be born healthy."
Like Wood, Shoemaker also became involved with March of Dimes because a premature baby entered her life -- two of her grandchildren were born prematurely.
The money raised through March for Babies goes to help those in the Neonatal Intensive Care Units by offering support to families or funding the research that may save their children's lives, Shoemaker said.
"It's for research and education as well as support for moms, dads, families, grandmas like me, so that if something does occur and perhaps the baby is not born what we deem as healthy, there's help out there throughout the baby's life," she said.
For Wood, every little donation counts. While in the NICU with Charlie after she was born, Wood said she was given a baby book produced by the March of Dimes that included NICU baby milestones. She said it was a huge help, and cost only a little over $1 to make.
"Because who knows about premies until you have one?" she asked.
Shoemaker pointed out that, along with the March of Dimes funded research into surfactant therapy that benefited Charlie, the organization is also responsible for funding research for the polio vaccine, which has touched thousands of lives.
Downs said the organization is quiet about its impact because it has been around since 1938, and does not require a big marketing campaign -- it just wants to help babies.
"We're quiet because we fund research for healthy babies and people don't know we're here until they're in the NICU," Downs said. "But people should know we're here."
The point of the ambassador, Downs said, is to make the numbers a reality. Many people know about premature babies and their difficulties, but Wood is meant to put a face on that issue.
"We walk because somebody once walked so she could survive, so we walk so other babies can survive," Wood said.
Those interested in signing up for March for Babies can visit www.marchforbabies.org. In order to donate, or to set up a change box in a business, email Downs at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Federal Government has released a discussion paper to stimulate thinking and debate in advance of the Tax Forum to be held on 4 and 5 October 2011. Click here to view the discussion paper.
There will be a broad range of taxes and related topics separately discussed at the Forum, including personal tax, transfer payments, business tax, state taxes, environmental and social taxes, and tax system governance. Attendees at the Forum will be drawn from governments, federal, state and local, industry associations, unions, community groups, academia and tax practitioners.
The Government has underscored that its tax reform agenda will span over a decade, not least because of the economic headwinds.
The Forum is intended to assist Government identify priorities for future tax reforms, that build on these objectives nominated by the Treasurer:
In the prevailing tight fiscal conditions, should the Forum identify reforms with broad community support, it will assist the Government in balancing the competing priorities. The Government has been frank in stating that any proposed reductions in taxes would have to be accompanied by suggested funding measures.
Deloitte will continue to keep clients closely engaged in the tax reform agenda through this dedicated web page.

Acne Health Center
Controversial Acne Drug Could Get Popped (With More Regulation)
Dec. 4, 2000 (Washington) -- Recent reports suggesting the popular acne drug Accutane (isotretinoin) may trigger depression and suicide have spurred a congressional hearing Tuesday to investigate whether tighter controls need to be placed over the drug. But experts are cautioning that, despite the drug's side effects, further restrictions on its use and distribution could, in effect, lead to the drug's withdrawal.
Accutane was approved in 1982 as a treatment for severe acne. It is the only drug proven to effectively control severe cystic acne, the most serious form of this skin disease.
The congressional hearing follows a claim by Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mich.) that Accutane was responsible for his son's recent suicide. At a press conference, Stupak called upon the drug's maker, Roche, to conduct independent studies of Accutane's mood-altering effects. He also called for enhanced surveillance over the drug.
According to the FDA, Accutane has been associated with about 44 suicides since 1983. But the agency says there is not enough data to establish a definite link, although the drug does appear to have mood-altering effects.
Calling the suicides "spontaneous," Roche says they simply reflect "the multiple risk factors in the adolescents and young adults afflicted with the disfiguring disease." The company also notes that the drug's label already warns that Accutane has been associated with depression and suicide, although a clear link has yet to be established.
Still, some experts fear that Tuesday's hearing might lead to further restrictions because of Accutane's other well-known side effect: The drug is known to cause birth defects.
Birth defects occur in an estimated one of every four babies born to women who take Accutane while pregnant. But the number may be higher, some experts believe, since about 40% of the pregnancies that occur among women on Accutane end in a miscarriage.
As a result, the FDA has required the company to make a number of labeling changes since the drug's approval, to the point where few drugs are as explicitly labeled. But despite all the labeling changes, new patient information inserts, and "Dear Doctor" letters alerting doctors to these changes that the agency has required over the years, the absolute number of pregnancies among women on Accutane has remained largely unchanged.
At an FDA meeting in September, a panel of medical experts indicated that while the reported psychiatric events do not appear to be of major concern, the ongoing pregnancies are of particular concern considering that the use of Accutane has tripled since its approval. The panel commended Roche for its ongoing efforts to educate physicians and patients, but then recommended that a mandatory registration program be created to ensure that patients use the drug as directed. Roche wants a voluntary registration program.

A Wild Sheep Chase (Japanese: 羊をめぐる冒険, Hitsuji o Meguru Bōken) is a 1982 novel and an early work by Haruki Murakami. It follows a narrator who, shortly after his wife divorces him, is contacted by a mysterious figure who asks him to search for a sheep with a star on its back. So begins a strange and oddly humorous journey.
The novel contains examples of the following tropes:

Its like your body's shaking
And your mind is racing
And your heart is pounding
And your skin is crawling,
With the patterns of anatomy you've never seen before.
Reality morphs
And you feel like a dwarf,
In a world so vast beyond compare.
I never knew I could feel so small
Yet so alive once you break through that wall,
Of your perceived reality
I'm defying gravity
As I float on my little acid cloud.
— (moderately-pretty)
I told my psychologist once that I hated being sensitive. He told me that there are two kinds of people in this world, dandelions and orchids; in other words non sensitive people and sensitive people. If you plant a dandelion on the side of a foot path it will get kicked around and knocked but it will still grow to its fullest. If you plant an orchid on the side of a foot path it will hardly grow at all. However, if you were to put a dandelion and an orchid in a greenhouse, the outcome would be quite the same for the dandelion. It would grow to it's fullest form just as it would on the foot path, but the orchid would grow bigger and far more beautiful than any other. The connection is that an orchid, however fragile and sensitive it is, if put in its suited environment, will flourish and grow to be more magnificent than any other.
For a while after hearing this it made me feel proud to be a sensitive person. But what that metaphor does not explain, is how much God damn harder it is to be a fucking orchid.

Battle scars have been hidden for ages…
I can't go on with life
You have gone away from me…
I have been feeling this burn…
Burning up my insides
I'm waiting patiently for tomorrow…
Hopefully tomorrow will be a brighter day
I'm hoping it won't douse me with dismay
Shed relief upon me…
God, Shine with your dazzling might…
And please clear away the sorrow
Perhaps tomorrow will be filled with joy
Don't throw me away like a messed-up toy
Today is full of surprises...
I laugh at myself sometimes
Today is full of fantastic prizes
Time passes by...
And the church bell chimes
