"The wristband itself is superbly designed: The slight oval shape and rubberized case mean that it hews to your wrist without bouncing around, which would have made it into an annoying bangle. But the wristband is a minor part of the offering. The real product is the software, and the interaction experience. And that's where things go wrong: The software is too buggy and confusing, the user experience too unresolved. But rather than carp on what's wrong, I wanted to lay out a few lessons that the product's shortcomings teach you about app design and user experience design in general. A product like this teaches us all how to make things better."

The second weekend of August might be a good one to stick around town, as the 4th annual WHEN WORDS COLLIDE festival descends upon Calgary to bring together a huge range of readers and writers from all over the world. Regardless of the genre you're trying to master or love to read, When Words Collide has more than 60 expert panelists/presenters lined up to share tips and information on everything from science fiction to historical fiction to nonfiction, from inspiration to editing.
It appears as though this year's program of workshops, pitch sessions, panels, social events, blue pencil cafes, and merchants has caught on and filled up quick, but they are now taking names for a waiting list, the 'Merchants' Corner' is open to the unregistered public, and on the Thursday leading into the big weekend you can catch 5 featured WWC guests live at the Fish Creek Library.
Thursday, August 7
7 - 8:30 p.m.
Second Floor Open Area - Fish Creek Library
Join us for readings by international bestselling authors: Jack Whyte, Jacqueline Guest, Brandon Sanderson, D.J. McIntosh and Mark Leslie.
The authors will follow up the readings with a question and answer and autograph session.
From the beloved, award-winning, bestselling author of The Cellist of Sarajevo, The Confabulist is a beautiful, suspense-filled novel that uses the life and sudden death of Harry Houdini to weave a magical tale of intrigue, love and illusion. The Confabulist weaves together the life, loves and murder of the world's greatest magician, Harry Houdini, with the story of the man who killed him (twice): Martin Strauss, an everyday man whose fate was tied to the magician's in unforeseen ways.
A cast of memorable characters spins around Houdini's celebrity-driven life, as they did in his time: from the Romanov family soon to be assassinated, to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and the powerful heads of Scotland Yard, and the Spiritualists who would use whoever they could to establish their religion. A brilliant novel about fame and ambition, reality and illusion, and the ways that love, grief and imagination can alter what we perceive and believe.*
On Thursday, June 5 the Calgary Public Library is thrilled to be hosting along with Pages bookstore "An Evening with Steven Galloway" from 7 – 9 p.m. in the John Dutton Theatre (2nd floor, Central Library). Register here or call 403-260-2620.
For a taste of the thoughtful, engaging eloquence Steven Galloway puts into the presentation of his work, watch the video of our 2011 One Book One Calgary launch, in which the entire city shared the power of Galloway's 2008 novel, The Cellist of Sarajevo.
*The Confabulist book summary lifted off the library catalogue
Spring-Summer Guides are now out and that means a brand new season of opportunity to take advantage of our free, super wide-ranging programs. Registration starts Monday, April 21.
A highlight for writers comes up very quick with 'Self-Editing 101' - a workshop on revision and editing techniques - on Saturday May 10.

In August the Fish Creek library will host bestselling authors Diana Gabaldon, Jacqueline Guest, Brandon Sanderson, and D.J. McIntosh for readings, Q & A, and an autograph session. It's all part of WHEN WORDS COLLIDE and this year WWC is offering pre-festival workshops for the first time. A ways away but the opportunity for intimate, hands-on workshop experience will surely fill up quick.
Oh, yes, and superfoods, The Power of Superfoods. Not necessarily tailored for writers, but what writer wouldn't benefit from a little boost to their brain function? The new Program Guides are already all over the city but if you haven't got your hands on one you can always download the PDF version and read it right now.
THE CALGARY PROJECT: A City Map In Verse & Visual is a beautiful coffee table anthology presenting a vibrant and diverse snapshot of Calgary's visual and literary arts, and the book launch is going to take place right here at Central Library on Sunday, March 30, from 2 - 4 p.m in the John Dutton Theatre.
Published by Frontenac House in collaboration with the RE:act Collective and House of Blue Skies, the collection celebrates the 2-year term of our inaugural Poet Laureate, Kris Demeanor, who co-edited the book with Dymphny Dronyk - founding member of the RE:act collective and author of Contrary Infatuations.
So what does a city map written in verse look like?
Dronyk describes it best on the book's front flap:
"How do you get to know a city? What can you learn from a map?
The Calgary Project reflects this moment of time: being the Culture Capital, having our very own Poet Laureate, surviving the Flood that redrew the City. It offers a glimpse into the artists' and poets' perception of Calgary right now. The voices of our city include poets and songwriters, rappers and sculptors, painters and fibre artists, photographers and children. The artists featured here are not just the best in our city - they are indeed some of the finest in the world."
The selections include work by nationally (and internationally) prominent poets such as Sheri-D Wilson, Christian Bök, Micheline Maylor, Fred Wah, Anne Burke, and Tom Wayman, and artists such as Jeff de Boer, George Webber, Mandi Stobo and Tina Martel, as well as pieces by newer and younger writers and artists. And even an impressive piece from Mayor-poet Nenshi!
For more information on all the upcoming launch celebrations for this beautiful book, go to the Blue Skies Poetry website.
And if you can't wait for Sunday to get your hands on a copy, The Calgary Project is available at your local library. The waiting list continues to grow, but we always have a copy on the shelf in our Community Heritage & Family History Room (4th Floor, Central Library). Or find a copy from your independent bookseller: Owl's Nest Books, Pages on Kengsington, and Shelf Life Books.
A thrilling and mysterious tour of writers is coming to town and the library is thrilled to be hosting. On Tuesday, March 18, come down to the Central library's John Dutton Theatre for The Dark Side, featuring authors Deryn Collier, Craig Davidson, and Andrew Pyper. After Calgary the tour heads off to Vancouver, Ottawa, Toronto, and Waterloo. Register for this unique triple-bill here. The show starts at 7pm.
ANDREW PYPER was born in Stratford, Ontario, in 1968. He received a B.A. and an M.A. in English Literature from McGill University in Montreal, as well as a law degree from the University of Toronto, although he has never practiced. Kiss Me, his first book of short stories, was published to in 1996. His first novel, Lost Girls, was a national bestseller in Canada and a Globe and Mail Notable Book selection in 1999 as well as a Notable Book selection in the New York Times Book Review and the London Evening Standard in 2000. Lost Girls won the Arthur Ellis Award for Best First Novel. Pyper's second novel, The Trade Mission, was published in 2002, and was selected by The Toronto Star as one of the Best Books of the Year.
DERYN COLLIER is the author of Confined Space, which was shortlisted for the Arthur Ellis Award for best first crime novel. Originally form Montreal, she is a graduate of McGill University. After a short career as a federal bureaucrat she ran away to the mountains of British Columbia where she has been ever since.

This winter the library, High Performance Rodeo, and Productive Obsession are offering Calgarians the experience of story like we've never seen, heard, or read before. Created by Ken Cameron, HOW iRAN is "an interactive, site-responsive, nonlinear installation-story" delivered through iPods.
How this will work I have no idea but I imagine some combination of Choose Your Own Adventure books (except with much heavier, more interesting content), one of those guided audio tours through Alcatraz (except it's the Central Library), and a travel narrative with real political relevance. At High Performance Rodeo's website we are introduced with teasers to three main characters:
"Meet Emily the librarian, an American Quaker who protested the Vietnam War. Get inside the head of Ramin, the Persian security guard with an engineering degree. Follow the fate of Hossein, who used internet journalism to challenge authority in a brutal regime."
No registration is required. Just come to 4th floor Information desk at any of the showtimes listed here. There will be 24 opportunities on eight different days from January 23 - February 1.
You may also reserve a listening/viewing time through High Performance Rodeo.
Questions? Please call 403-260-2742.
Developed with funding from Calgary 2012 and the Canada Council for the Arts; written and produced by Ken Cameron.

"I want the reader to feel something is astonishing. Not the 'what happens,' but the way everything happens. These long short story fictions do that best, for me."
-Alice Munro
Having astonished readers for more than four decades, a discussion of the Canadian 'short' story master's influence can go just about anywhere. The dedication to complicated simplicity. The sincerity of her make-it-look-so-easy prose. The holographic realness of character. Alice Munro's influence on contemporary writers, whether we are fans or haven't even read her work, trickles over us all.
On Thursday, May 30, the Memorial Park library will host "What Alice Munro Means to Me as a Writer" - a panel discussion on the influence "of one of our greatest contemporary writers of fiction". The panel will feature some great fiction writers in their own right: Lori Hahnel, Lee Kvern, and Barb Howard (who has graciously stepped in for Deborah Willis). Things get started at 7pm. No registration is required. And even if Munro doesn't make your personal list of influential writers, the question of influence is always an interesting topic.
A sampling of the panel's work...
Lori Hahnel is the author of a novel, Love Minus Zero and a story collection, Nothing Sacred, which shortlisted for an Alberta Literary Award. A new novel, After You've Gone, is forthcoming from Thistledown in Spring 2014. She teaches creative writing at Mount Royal University and the Alexandra Writers Centre Society. She is serving as writer-in-residence for AWCS through the end of June of this year
Lee Kvern is the award-winning author of short stories and novels. Afterall was selected for 2013 Canada Reads. The Matter of Sylvie was nominated for the Alberta Book Awards and the Ottawa Relit Award. She is the current writer-in-residence for the Canadian Authors Association from September 2012 - May 2013.

Dominic Nahr: Captive State
Captive State is an exhibition of photographs taken by Dominic Nahr during two trips to Somalia. In August 2011, Nahr traveled to Mogadishu with Alex Perry (TIME's Africa Bureau Chief) to document the famine in Southern Somalia. They found overwhelming suffering and death; approximately 150,000 of the 2.8 million Somalis affected eventually starved to death. Almost as appalling was the knowledge that a US anti-terrorism policy unwittingly blocked aid to the famine areas for years. Perry writes, "If drought set the conditions for last year's famine in East Africa, it was man who ensured it."
When Nahr and Perry returned to Mogadishu the following year, the improvements were tangible, but as Perry states, "If Mogadishu was enjoying its longest sustained peace in 21 years of civil war, you couldn't mistake that for a return to normality."A TIME Contract Photographer and Magnum Photos Nominee, Dominic Nahr graduated from the photography program at Ryerson University in 2008. Dominic Nahr: Captive State will be on view in the Ryerson Image Centre's Student Gallery January 23 – March 10, 2013.

Ultimate Dinosaurs: Giants from Gondwana
Forget about the dinosaurs you know… this is a whole new breed of beast. Mark your calendars for the biggest and best dinosaur exhibition ever mounted in Canada!
Ultimate Dinosaurs: Giants from Gondwana features dinosaurs you've never seen before, displayed in ways you've never seen before. Created by the ROM, this new exhibition makes its world premiere in Toronto on June 23.
This scientifically rigorous, cutting-edge exhibition is based on ground-breaking new research and takes you on a journey through the ancient land of Gondwana. Meet the world's largest and strangest dinosaurs as you journey back in time to the Mesozoic era and learn how continental drift supported the evolution of these bizarre creatures in what is modern-day Africa, Madagascar and South America.
Not only will you experience new dinosaurs – you'll experience them in new ways. This exhibition includes cutting-edge augmented reality technology, that layers virtual experiences over the real environment. Three innovative iPad stations allow you to experience dinosaurs in surprising ways, including virtually fleshing out a dinosaur skeleton.

Shift: Highlights of Modernism from the AGO Collection
This exhibition features modern masterworks from 1909 until 1971. It was a period of great change in the world: the rapid rise of the car, the Great Depression's economic turmoil, the devastation of two world wars, the advance of television and computers, the civil rights movement. Living the seismic shifts that surrounded them, the artists in this exhibition experimented with unique ways of seeing and explored new ideas about the nature of materials and the nature of artmaking itself. Artists expressed their inner visions, investigated social issues and created new languages of visual expression, with each generation ambitiously building upon and challenging the art that had come before.
Investigating Miniature Ivory and Boxwood Carvings
This exhibition invites you to explore ongoing research into five works of art from the Thomson Collection European Art at the AGO. Although each one is more than 500 years old, much remains to be discovered about these rare medieval carvings. Prized for their exceptional skill, craftsmanship and artistry, these mysterious objects inspire a range of questions: Who made it? How was it carved? Who owned it? How was it used? Constantly seeking answers, AGO curators and conservators closely examine the works, comb through primary documents and travel internationally to scrutinize related objects and research materials. They also deploy scientific technologies, such as X-radiography (X-rays), micro-computed tomography (CT scanning) and radiocarbon dating. New and in-depth research findings lead to a deeper understanding of these works and, consequently, the history of human creativity.
From Renaissance to Rodin: Celebrating the Tanenbaum Gift
Joey and Toby Tanenbaum's dedication to the European Collection at the Art Gallery of Ontario is palpable in each of the works that they have donated since 1985. Each betrays a love of richness and visual depth, an interest in the tension between pleasure and morality, and a dedication to the needs of their city public. The sensuous marble surface of Gian Lorenzo Bernini's bust of Pope Gregory XV (1621) proclaims Rome's papal authority, while the panel The Expulsion of the Money-Changers (1480-1500), attributed to the anonymous Master of the Kress Epiphany, teaches about the boundaries between the sacred and secular with a riot of figures and movement. Hendrick Andriessen's Still Life (Vanitas) (c. 1637) uses an array of fascinating objects, richly rendered, to warn its viewers of the impermanence of the senses and life. All the Tanenbaum gifts offer AGO visitors a window into the dynamic and exciting history of early modern Europe. Come explore this unique collection and share Joey and Toby Tanenbaum's passion for the richness and beauty of European art.
Josef Sudek: The Legacy of a Deeper Vision
Czech photographer Josef Sudek is regarded as one of the legendary photographers of the 20th century with a career that stretched over 60 years. His increasingly contemplative photographs transformed ordinary subjects by uniting his external observations with deeply felt sensibilities, creating a unique world of his own.
More than 175 photographs in this exhibition have been selected from Art Gallery of Ontario's collection, spanning Sudek's entire career.
Alfredo Jaar: The Politics of Images
Alfredo Jaar: The Politics of Images curated by Gaëlle Morel, exhibitions curator at the RIC, addresses political concerns and the relationship between ethics and aesthetics. The Chilean-born, New York-based, Jaar highlights ignored contemporary tragedies such as genocides, epidemics, and famines, to promote cultural change.In his works "Searching for Africa in LIFE" (1996) and "From Time to Time" (2006), Jaar displays covers of news magazines to analyze the lack of visibility and the visual clichés about Africa disseminated in Western culture.
The artist's three-channel video "We Wish to Inform You That We Didn't Know" (2010), his most recent project on the genocide in Rwanda, acts as an epilogue to "The Rwanda Project, 1994-2000″, a series of twenty-five artworks developed to critique the world's indifference and inaction to that mass murder. Alfredo Jaar: The Politics of Images will be on view in the Ryerson Image Centre University Gallery January 23 – April 14, 2013.
For more information, visit the Ryerson Image Centre website.
Featuring 316 original prints from the prestigious Black Star Collection, HUMAN RIGHTS HUMAN WRONGS uses the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights as a point of departure to examine whether images of political struggle, suffering and victims of violence work for or against humanitarian objectives, especially when considering questions of race, representation, ethical responsibility and the cultural position of the photographer.
Curated by Mark Sealy, Director of Autograph ABP in London, England, HUMAN RIGHTS HUMAN WRONGS begins circa 1945 and includes well-known Civil Rights Movement events such as the Selma to Montgomery March and Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech. The exhibition also features images of the independence movements in African countries including Kenya, Algeria, Chad, and Congo; portraits of Nobel Peace Prize winners Lester B. Pearson, Yasser Arafat, and René Cassin; images of protests in locations such as Berkeley, Chile, and Argentina; and war and conflict from the Vietnam War to the Rwandan Genocide in 1994.
Through HUMAN RIGHTS HUMAN WRONGS, we see the wide dissemination of photographic images of humankind in abject, euphoric or violently explicit conditions, and examine how these images assist us in understanding the case for human and civil rights. Made possible by the generous support of TD Bank Group, with additional funding from the Paul J. Ruhnke Memorial Fund, the Howard and Carole Tanenbaum Family Charitable Foundation and Ryerson University, the exhibition is a collaboration with Autograph ABP (supported by Arts Council England). HUMAN RIGHTS HUMAN WRONGS will be on view in the Ryerson Image Centre Main Gallery January 23 – April 14, 2013.

Irish American Congressman Peter King has slammed supporters of fellow Republican Senator Ted Cruz who have been calling his office with hostile messages after he had been critical of Cruz's stance on shutting down the government. King, a potential presidential candidate himself, is Co-Chair of the Ad Hoc Friends of Ireland in Congress.
"The vehemence of the phone calls coming into the office. I don't care, people can call me whatever they want … I haven't heard such vile, profane, obscene language," King said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" on Thursday.
"I'm not saying Ted Cruz is responsible for all his supporters, but he has tapped into a dark strain here in the American political psyche here, and again, the most obscene, profane stuff you can imagine all from people who say they support the Constitution," King said.
"I think what we have to do is reach out to his people and let them know that they're following a false leader here."

Iberia Performing Arts League will hold open auditions for Michael Frayn's, "Noises Off", on Monday, July 22 and Tuesday, July 23 at 6:00 P.M. Auditions will be held at the Essanee Theatre, 126 Iberia Street, in New Iberia, La. Productions will run Thursday-Sunday, October 24 through November 3, 2013.
The cast consists of 5 males and 4 females, ranging in ages from 20's - 60's. The auditions will consist of cold readings from the script, so some familiarity with the characters and an English accent will be an advantage. Noises Off is a fast paced, physical farce providing non-stop hilarity as a cast of fifth rate itinerant actors rehearse and prepare for touring in a "head on collision" with opening night. Frayns' classic three-act farce introduces slamming doors, flying props, prat falls, humorous misunderstandings, and plenty of sardines. The under-rehearsed actors and technicians desperately try to perform even as their rapidly deteriorating relationships cause mass hysteria and make for hysterical comedy both off-stage and on. Theyl quickly find that as they muddle through, the more they work to take control, the funnier and more chaotic it gets! Noises Off is written with a wit and heart that allows it to be more than mere farce or parody of farce; it speaks to what all love about theatre and what makes us laugh at our dramas, both onstage and off. It has been reviewed and boasted by many as one of the most brilliantly crafted lunatic comedy in years.
Audition details can be obtained from the Iberia Performing Arts League Facebook page, by contacting directors Donna Berard (229-6919) or Catherine Caffery (256-0604), or at the IPAL website (iberiaperformingartsleague.com). Auditioners may also call364-6114, leave your name, phone number and a short message. Someone will return your call.
For more information, please call 337-364-6114, leave your name, phone number and a short message. Someone will return your call.

FORT WAYNE – Despite the prospect of a busy week, it was too good of an opportunity for Northrop to pass up.
To be the first Fort Wayne boys team to play in the Hall of Fame Tournament since 1978, the Bruins had to either skip the chance at a SAC tournament title three-peat or possibly play five games in four days.
The Class 4A No. 9 Bruins (6-1) chose the second option.
So, if Northrop keeps winning in the SAC tournament, it could play games today, Thursday and Saturday. And Friday's Hall of Fame Tournament will include two games, win or lose, with a first-round game against Indianapolis Tech and either the consolation or championship game.
It's an unbelievable honor, and we don't take it for granted, Northrop coach Barak Coolman said.
The chance to play in the Hall of Fame tourney in the nation's largest high school gym at New Castle gives added exposure to the Bruins' program in general and the Scott twins – Bryson (Purdue recruit) and Brenton (Indiana State) in particular.
This is an amazing opportunity for us and a great spotlight, Coolman said. It is great chance to show off Brenton and Bryson and also the Northrop players in general, and that we do have other quality players. It gives Brenton and Bryson a better chance at being Indiana All-Stars, and Bryson earn a Mr. Basketball opportunity.
It's a chance on the season's second biggest stage, other than the state finals.
A lot of our guys are going to get a lot of looks because we have a good team and good individuals, Bryson Scott said. More importantly we are going to go out there and show what Northrop basketball is all about and represent Fort Wayne to the best of our abilities.
I have been focused on this week for a while now. It is crunch time for me to show what I am all about. I am serious about being a Mr. Basketball candidate and an Indiana All-Star candidate.
Northrop has won the last two SAC tournament titles and was given the chance at a third straight this season when the conference worked in an off day in the tournament schedule. It could, though, make for a long week.
It is a pretty daunting task to try to be able to win that many games in that short amount of time, Coolman said.
You wouldn't want it any other way. The biggest thing is the potential for all of those games with no practice time in between. We might need to prepare for all the different potential components that you have coming your way. Once you start playing, there's very little time for preparation.
And the players know the challenges that lie in front of them.
We are trying to keep conditioned as much as possible, Bryson Scott said.
We are going to have to execute and be ready for that 5-game stretch. We have been running countless lines to prepare our legs. We are just trying to bond and get our wind up so we don't get tired and keep fluids in us.
The SAC tournament is sponsored by SportOne Ortho Northeast.

I am not usually a person who goes on these sorts of things as I am nervous about meeting people but I really enjoyed it
It has cemented my desire to study Social Policy at University (Bristol) before I came along I thought I knew what it was all about, now I am really excited about my future studies.
The School was one of six departments that participated in the inaugural year of the scheme.
The Access to Bristol scheme is brilliant. It has given me a great insight into what it is like to study at university.
At first I was very nervous about joining the course because I was the only one from my college, but I enjoyed it and made lots of new friends. It has also given me confidence to travel and experience places I have never been before. It has been a great experience.
A separate open day offers advice on finance, student services, child care and 'sample' academic sessions.
Very impressed – as a department it really did shatter any myths about the University of Bristol.

The 18 Most Annoying Male Habits, Explained
Every day, REDBOOK readers email columnist Aaron Traister to ask questions about the men in their lives: Why is it so hard for him to spit out the words I'm sorry? Is my husband the only man in the world who doesn't want to have sex? (He's not Aaron gets this one all the time.) And what's up with that wiry hair protruding from his left nostril?!
By Aaron Traister
Q: What does he have against my friends?
He may not have anything against them he just can't keep them straight. I have two friends, and my wife loves them. Karel has a million friends: college besties, high school besties, work friends, mom friends. You guys have deep relationships and superficial ones that look almost identical. I think our attitude is interpreted as cold when, in fact, it is confused. We don't understand your level of investment in some of your friendships, so we're not sure what our level of investment should be.

Taking Time to Honor Crime Victims Among Us
JILL RAVITCH and GLORIA EUROTAS, pressdemocrat.com, April 16, 2012Terry Probyn, mother of kidnapping victim Jaycee Dugard will be a guest speaker at Sonoma County's Family Justice Center on April 24 as part of Crime Victims Rights Week.
You're late for work and don't take the time to kiss your 10-year-old daughter good-bye as she leaves for school. It's just another day, and you think nothing of it. You will connect with her in the evening.
Then the nightmare begins. The phone rings, and you find that a drunken driver veered onto the sidewalk and hit a group of children as they walked home from school. You race to the hospital and find other parents, family members and school officials present with police. The driver is in custody. Your daughter, injured, has survived. Others are not so fortunate. The road to recovery for many has just begun.
The impact of crime is pervasive and knows no boundaries. People tend to think, "It can't happen to me." Yet anyone, in any community, including here in Sonoma County, may become a victim of crime at any time. Perhaps it is a life shattered by a drunken driver, a sense of insecurity in a home burglarized, or financial burdens brought on through identity theft. They deserve services, information and, most of all, our compassion.
The vision that launched the victims' rights movement emerged more than 30 years ago. Victims' rights legislation has given victims a voice in the criminal justice system. Marsy's Law, also known as the Victims' Bill of Rights, amended the California constitution in 2008 to provide additional and specific rights to victims. While we have come far, our work is not done, and we must continue to bring about a better future for all victims of crime. ...

Vibe Glass is a stunning piece of hand blown glass reminiscent of Mediterranean coastline. This Artisan process, executed only by Murano master glass blowers on the Venetian coast, quarantee each piece to be one of a kind. The glass is meticulously mouth blown using a series of furnaces ranging in temperature with a annealing process that can take up to 15 hours. This process is what lends to Vibe?s unique shape, design and beautiful color. Vibe adds a warm and inviting ambience to any space.
The stunning glass from Bruck Lighting is hand blown in various locations across the globe, including Italy, Austria, Germany and the United States. Professional glass making, which originated during the Roman Empire, is a painstaking process where only true perfection is accepted and the rejected pieces are broken up and recycled. All of our glass artisans are highly experienced and gifted in the art of glass making. These artisans choose only the top quality glass batch to start off their process. Then, the glass is meticulously mouth blown in a series of furnaces ranging in temperature, as to create the perfect shape. Since each piece is individuality hand blown, every item is a unique and rare piece of art. No one in the world will have the same exact piece of glass. As the glass is being refined in the multi-furnace process, different colors of glass are added, making it a multi colored cornucopia of depth and hue. Finally, fine craftsman tools are used to finalize the shape of the glass. The result is a superb conversation starter for any location. Since each piece is created entirely by hand, each glass is unique, baring slight differences from glass to glass. Like all fine art, each and every piece in exclusive and magnificent. Bruck Lighting?s glass, like the Mona Lisa or the Venus Di Milo, is a magnificent, timeless and unique piece of art

Home monitoring systems don't get much easier to set up than this. Swann Communications has introduced its Advanced Digital Wireless (ADW) technology, so your DIY surveillance project is a snap to set up and use.
The first product Swann has put out there in its ADW range is the ADW-300 Security Camera and Receiver, with simple plug-and-play installation.
The ADW-300 color camera can record clear video during the day, and it switches to bland and white, with infrared night vision in low light situations, so you never have to worry about it missing a beat—or that those shadowy figures will stay shadowy.
The wireless transmission range of at least 160 feet allows you plenty of flexibility for camera placement, whether you want it indoors or outdoors. Improvement upon the older 2.4GHz analog wireless technology with the new ADW provides point-to-point digital wireless transmission feed from the camera to the receiver with less interference form some of the usual suspects like cordless phones, microwave ovens and Bluetooth.
On the receiver end, hook it up to a DVR, VCR or monitor and presto, you're ready to view and/or record.
There's no specific release date listed, but Swann says the ADW-300 will have an MSRP of $199.99 and "is coming soon from Swann retail and online retailers," so be on the lookout.Follow Electronic House on Facebook and Twitter.

"This car has awesome interior. Gas milage is not great but it has lot's of power from the 300 horse engine. It is expensive to fix but is a reliable car. The Quattro handles and grabs the road nice and tight. My car has 140,000 but my mechanics advised me that these puppies can run up to 400.000k with not problem"

Cons: "low gas mileage"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 9
"There is not much it is missing, apart from a built in Nav system (and these can be found now for $150) Bit heavy on tires, but if you go for comfort (Continental or Pirelli) and not Khumo or similar, 25,000 is usual so not bad for a biggish mid-sized sedan with 4-wheel drive. Some issues with pricing for repairs and big maintenance issues (timing chain, water pump and thermostat) which are not positioned well and need front end off to service, but I doubt it is more than a BMW, Merc or Lexus, so consider it a built in cost value"

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 110,000overall rating 9 of 10rating details

"I bought this 2001 Audi A6 Quattro 4.2L engine in Pearlescent white paint with all the extras the second it hit the dealer's lot 13 years ago. It has been a dream car for me and I've never been able to part with it or even consider owning anything else. Yes, repairs are expensive (but so are repairs to many other vehicles of lesser value). The Audi still feels new and at 110,000 miles there has been no sign of aging. I've spent $5,000 in repairs since owning it which I consider cheap for the reliability, luxury and safety it offers."

I owned and sold this car
Reason: Costly Repairs and bad gas mileage
Pros: "Fast and fun to drive"
Cons: "Very Very expensive to repair and maintain."
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 5
"The two best days of owing my Audi A6 2.7T S-Line was the day I bought it, and the day I sold it. It was the most expensive car that I have ever owned. Everything on it cost north of $500, but usually is $1000 plus. I bought mine with only 98000 miles. A month after I bought it the alternator failed, that was $1100 for Alternator and Battery. A week later it was $500 for wheel bearings. Then Two weeks later the Check engine light came on. Found out it was a air sensor: that was gonna be $700+ depending which one it was. Also It only gave me 19mpg average. 5 mos into owning the car I sold it and took a decent loss. I could finally sleep at nights and not have to worry about what else will go wrong. Don`t get me wrong, the car is a blast to drive and handles very well. But it wasn't worth all the money I had to put in it. I regretted selling my Lexus ES300 for it. I went out and bought an LS400 and now i`m back in car heaven. If you decide to get the car, get a warranty or be ready to sink thousands in it."

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 27,111overall rating 10 of 10rating details
Pros: "reliable, good driver, doesn't look dated"
Cons: "should have gotten 2.7"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"I have owned 12 AUDIs. Most all proved to be great cars, very driver friendly. This car has never been out in snow and sits in a climate controlled garage. It truly looks as it did in the showroom. We have newer cars, but lugging golf clubs and stuff this remains a favorite. I change the oil and service the vehicle at the start of every Summer and keep it on a Battery Tender in off season. There has never been any major mechanical problems, and the Dealer always asks to buy the vehicle back, sort of a running joke."

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 151,000overall rating 3 of 10rating details
Pros: "Very fun to drive"
Cons: "Very costly in its age"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 2
"This car is beautiful, and very fun to drive. The power that it offers, especially in 4th and 5th gear, going from ~40 to ~70, gives you a rush. The highest I ever took it to was 115 mph (sometime in 2012, on 2002 model). It handles extremely well, and I enjoy the heaviness of the car. It has me smitten with AWD, and I will definitely seek this feature in future car purchases. Unfortunately, the driving experience is not worth it when weighing it against the maintenance and repair costs for this aging vehicle. Within the past 3 years: timing belt, water pump, tires (twice), both catalytic converters. Now it's throwing codes for timing and catalyst again, which means I will have to shell out for the costly work that I just did on it 18 months ago! And it's not just the sensors, when driving one can tell there is a legitimate issue with the timing. The oil sensor also went out last month. The timing belt, in particular, is fascinatingly expensive. To install a new timing belt you use this universal tool to align it as you're attaching it to the engine (I apologize if I'm saying this wrong). But Audi designed this "special" timing belt system which requires... you guessed it... a special tool designed by... Audi. A gentleman working the parts desk at my local Audi dealership once described this car as "over-engineered." It also takes 93 octane gasoline. On a full tank (~18 gallons) and driving mostly highway, I get about 350 miles."

Dr. John Witherspoon was born in Gifford, Scotland, in 1723. A scholarly Presbyterian minister who was elected to the Continental Congress, he is perhaps best known for his hilarious portrayal of Ice Cube's dad in the Friday movies. Defying all known medical science, Witherspoon lived for more than 250 years, transformed into a black dude, became a mildly successful stand-up comedian in the 1980s and blossomed into a wildly popular comedic character actor in the '90s. To this day, Witherspoon is the lone beacon of funny in otherwise ass-awful movies (Soul Plane, Little Nicky). He also signed the Declaration of Independence. John Witherspoon starts yelping "Bang!" at 8:30 p.m. Thursday, 8:30 p.m and 10:30 p.m. Friday, 7 p.m., 9 p.m. and 11 p.m. Saturday and 7:30 p.m. Sunday at the Addison Improv, 4980 Belt Line Road.

You probably heard about a baby born in 2012 named Blue Ivy, but do you know about little Bastian Kick, Pearl Clementine, and Exton Elias? And what about Rosalind Arusha Arkadina Altalune Florence? (Luna, for short, to the relief of her future teachers.) What else is new in the year's celebrity naming trends?
Immersed in a world of glitz and glamour, it's striking that stars looked to nature for baby-naming inspiration, choosing names like Breeze, Maple, Brooks, Lion, Olive, and Lilah-Rose. Other Hollywood parents went a little Southern this year, opting for choices like Tennessee, Memphis, Virginia, and Dixie. And when celebs didn't know where to look for inspiration, they named their babies after what they know best: Kash.
Check out our full list of the smallest trendsetters of 2012.

Rawsome Lifestyle Coaching is no longer an active blog.
To follow the continuing adventures of Rawsome Living Foods go to Rawsome on the Road.
Two years ago I posted my first blog on January 26, 2011. One hundred and seventeen posts later, it's time to explore another direction. I have spent the last two months grieving, reflecting, considering options, letting go. It has been a process and one that I have yet to complete. I keep gaining clarity with each step I take that frees me from what no longer serves me. I've been peeling layers of my emotional onion and with each letting go, I'm finding the veneer of the past lifting and revealing a less encumbered me.
I've been reading, journaling, meditating, re-evaluating, re-connecting with my life partner, and re-creating some new possibilities. We still aren't certain what some of the 'new' possibilities may be, but we do know what they won't be.
The cafe was a remarkable experience and one that we will never regret. I learned so much about myself, about people, about food, about the community, and about the values that drive me. What I also learned is that running a business wore me out and no longer holds a place in my heart. A great learning.
I learned that without a place to go everyday, I found myself retreating, hibernating, and festering. Some of that was part of the healing process. Some of it was desperately needed. Some of it has placed me at a loss. And much of it confirmed for me that I am aching to be free of what was.
I began to look at what I have been trying to offer on these pages. Some of it resonated for others. I provided easy recipes to kickstart you into another plateau of food preparation. I offered some tidbits of info that confirms the benefits of live plant-based cuisine. But in truth, I really have been at a loss to keep saying the same things in new and refreshing ways. I have come to realize, you either are going to make a change or you won't. What I write here really has no relevance unless it resonates for you personally. For many, a balance is what really has meaning, which may include both cooked and live options. What I hope my posts have introduced, are alternatives for consideration. But I no longer have any interest in reitterating the same message. One more layer of which I am letting go.
My coaching practice never took off. I believe it is because I was hesitant to charge for what I had to offer and to own my expertise in this area. I gave away much of my skills and knowledge. My focus may have been too narrow, nor something that people felt they needed to pay for, in order to make a change in their life. My attention has been multi-pronged and exploratory. Jim and I offered workshops initially, then retreats, an occasional cafe out of our home location, consultation, and products. Once we established a full blown live plant-based cafe in town, we focused entirely on what it meant to run a business. Formal coaching never entered the equation. All our interactions with the public were informal. That aspect of our connections with others will always remain. For now another professional layer has been let go.
Which leaves me with a fresh start. I enjoy writing. I enjoy sharing my observations. Jim and I will be taking a year to mostly travel. Jim wants to write a book. Perhaps we will collect our recipes and develop a more formal way to share them with you, rather than through blog posts. I hope to collect interviews with others in the countries we visit to learn of their experiences living healthily through alternative food practices within their cultural communities.
Rawsome on the Road, will become our next handle. We may write the occasional blog post. It will provide you with a way to connect with us. It will be our way to share the passions that bubble forth from us. As always, you can read or delete, remain on our distribution list or decide we no longer speak to your interests. It's all good.
With deep gratitude, I thank you for being a loyal reader. It has been an honour and a humbling experience to reach out to you in such an intimate way. Your comments have nourished me. Your thoughtful appreciation has been illuminating. It has been a gratifying journey. I wish you all the most healthful year ahead. May you find joy in every moment. May you open your heart to possibilities and never shy away from those moments that speak to your heart. Happy trails to you, until we meet again.
For old times sake and in the spirit of the holiday season, here are four new recipes and two bonus recipes. Glad tidings and blessings to one and all.
Veggie Compote
Rough chop the following ingredients and stir in a bowl. Top your salad and use as a dressing, eat on its own, or use as a topping on a fresh pizza or with crackers.
Sunny Salad Dressing
Rough chop all ingredients and place in a blender. Add water if required to thin to desired texture. Adjust flavours to taste.
Sunny Taco Filling
Rough chop all ingredients. Place in food processor and pulse chop using the S blade until the texture of ground meat. Best to first pulse chop the sunflower seeds. Then pulse chop carrots next, followed by celery, with sundried tomatoes, garlic, onion, and mushrooms added last along with the spices. Use a lettuce leaf as a taco shell. Top with sprouts and a dollop of
'rawcamole' (bonus recipe).
Rawcamole – Bonus
Mash the avocados in a large bowl with a potato masher or fork. Stir in lemon juice, tomatoes, and spices.
Banana Almond Chews
With thanks to Lulu and Paisley for the inspiration
Place ingredients in a food processor using the S blade. You will be adding the bananas and dates first to provide you with the liquid. The remaining ingredients can be added one at a time and pulse chopped until you start to achieve a smooth or lumpy texture – depending on what you prefer. Once all mixed to your desired texture, roll into one inch balls, roll in flaked coconut, and freeze. Will last up to 3 months in the freezer.
Almond Milk – Bonus
Makes 3 cups milk
Blend rinsed and drained almonds with 3 cups of water until they are smooth and creamy. To separate the'milk from the almond skins and pulp, squeeze the blended mixture through a mesh nut milk bag or clean un-used paint strainer bag, catching the milk in a large container. What is left in the bag is the pulp, which you can use in cookies (see recipe above).
There are many toxic layers we add on and peel off daily, depending on our particular journey in the moment. If we go back to the last post where I spoke of the cancer cells each and everyone of us has within our cellular structure, there are contributing factors that go far beyond environmental ones, which may provoke those cells. Currently I'm more interested in the emotional toxins I have whirling around my psyche and beyond and how they affect health and well-being.
When you give up something that has provided a lifeforce within you, you are suddenly stripped of a buffer zone between your desires and your demons. And if that lifeforce was in fact one of your life long desires, then all you may be left with are your demons. Emotional demons are cancerous in their own right. They live in your cells waiting for opportunities to poke holes into your vulnerabilities. If you don't have positive antidotes in place to protect you from yourself, your most base and raw emotions will rise to the surface. How you deal with those emotions depends on your emotional immune system.
A fellow blogger – Marcia Mundel recently wrote about the book Broken Open by Elizabeth Lesser. This book contains a blend of moving stories, humorous insights, practical guidance, and personal memoir. During times of emotional turmoil we need to consider if we will be broken down and defeated, or broken open and transformed. Elizabeth Lesser shares tales of ordinary people who have risen from the ashes of illness, divorce, loss of a job or a loved one – both stronger and wiser in their emotional intelligence.
In Broken Open, the stories that are shared are of people who have hit their lowest ebb. Arriving at their end point may have been the result of an illness, circumstance, or an emotional breakdown. How they rise up from their depths differs depending on each situation and each individuals survival mechanisms.
How odd that if we reject what is painful, we find only more pain, but if we embrace what is within us – if we peer fearlessly into the shadows – we stumble upon the light. – Page 50 – Broken Open – Elizabeth Lesser
Not everyone reaches such an emotional turning point in their life. And if you don't doesn't mean you are less rich and self actualized. Nor if you do hit those emotional crises are you weaker and more vulnerable. In some situations, there is no predicting what may befall you in your life (e.g. a sudden unexpected death of a loved one). For those who find themselves confronted by their emotional demons there is an opportunity.
If we are not willing to confront the truth about ourselves that a loss unearths, we squander a rare and precious opportunity for transformation. – Page 100 – Broken Open – Elizabeth Lesser
Many people speak of receiving a health diagnosis which has served as a catalyst for change. In Broken Open there is a similar message. As the cracks appear in your heart, let the light shine through and you will be reacquainted with your soul. You may still cry everyday for two years, but you will be guaranteed that your heart will no longer be frozen.
There are three major hurdles to overcome in crisis: dealing with pain; working with your attitude; and using the crisis as a wake-up and a clean-up call. – Page 90 – Broken Open – Elizabeth Lesser
Overcoming hurdles exists whether you are confronted by a physical or emotional crisis. There is pain. That is usually what alerts us to the crisis in the first place. Whether you hurt when you move, or you gain too much weight and find you have high blood pressure or symptoms of diabetes, or an auto-immune ailment, or depression. There is the manifestation of physical pain. How you deal with that pain is dependent on your personal resolve and desire to change. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross states:
You will not grow if you sit in a beautiful flower garden, but you will grow if you are sick, if you are in pain, if you experience losses, and if you do not put your head in the sand, but take the pain as a gift to you with a very, very specific purpose.
When we reach such moments of profound sadness and seemingly impossible consequences, the most challenging outcome, is that there is no one to blame. We are our own sherpa guide. We took ourselves down into the chasm and we can rise above the clouds. We have a choice.
My only hope was to give up a life that had been, in order to make room for a life that is. – Elizabeth Lesser – Broken Open
Lesser provides tools to help cope with the pain – meditation, possibly psychotherapy, and prayer. Recently, I was introduced to the Isha System by a former work colleague. He shared, "It has been an interesting journey over the last few years and many changes in my life. The system has changed my life completely."
The Isha System proclaims on their website:
In a world thirsting for change, The Isha System offers a solution, by guiding us towards the only place where true change can take place: within ourselves.
The Isha System© consists of the practice of seven components: 1. The Facets 2. Focusing on Love-Consciousness 3. Feeling your emotions 4. Physical exercise 5. Drinking water 6. Being real and completely human (made clearer in advanced meetings and intensives) 7. Always speaking your truth (made clearer in advanced meetings and intensives)
I was struck by components 4 and 5 – physical exercise and drinking water. Both are explained as ways to clear the body of emotional toxins and by flushing the system and energetically ridding the body of these toxins, the easier it will become to reach love consciousness. I also appreciate the linkage between the psyche and the physical. There is truly no separation and what we consume or experience on one level will impact the other.
There is no one cure or solution for what may ail you physically or emotionally. There is a connective fiber of solutions, some of which rely on physical changes and others suggesting a psychological metamorphosis, some of which happen in tandem. Just keep in mind, that we can only fool ourselves some of the time. Eventually, we need to face our reflection and meet ourselves head on, through the heart, lightening our way to the soul, clearly, by breaking open.
I love finding recipes for cooked food and coming up with a comparable live version. Chopping up the cabbage and lightly heating in a dehydrator softens the cabbage and provides a more palatable texture. Tomatoes are a good source of lycopene which is released more effectively when cooked slightly. You can combine these 2 recipes by making a bed of salad, topping with the autumn cabbage and placing some tender tomatoes on top. No need for a salad dressing, as the salad is all dressed up as is.
Autumn Cabbage
1/2 cabbage (red or green)
1 clove garlic grated
1 cup peas (frozen and defrosted) or fresh
1 tsp cumin
1 tbsp oil
1/4 tsp salt and pepper (or to taste)
Rough chop cabbage and place in food processor with the S Blade. In addition, add the grated garlic clove, cumin, oil, and salt and pepper. Pulse chop until bite size pieces. Place in a casserole dish and stir in the peas. Dehydrate for up to 2 hours at 105 degrees. If using an oven, place in oven at the lowest heat for 30 minutes.
Tender Tomatoes
2 tomatoes
Italian spices to taste
Slice tomatoes to 1/4″ width. Place on a dehydrator tray using a teflex sheet. Sprinkle Italian spices on each tomato slice. Dehydrate for up to 2 hours at 105 degrees. If using an oven, place in oven on a cookie sheet at the lowest heat for 30 minutes.

Paul Haggis and the long road to directing


text: On July 24, 1998, at unknown time, a Cessna 152, N6333H, was destroyed when it impacted terrain at Icecap, Greenland. The certificated airline transport rated pilot was fatality injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and a visual flight rules flight plan had been filed for the flight that departed Narssarssuaq, Greenland, at 1542 Greenwich Mean Time, destined for Reykjavik, Iceland. The ferry flight was conducted under 14 CFR Part 91. According to the initial notification, the pilot intended to fly south until he felt it was safe to turn east and cross the icecap. At 1612, the pilot stated he was going to go direct to 61 degrees north latitude, and 40 degrees west longitude. There were no further transmissions received from the airplane. On July 29, 1998, at 1620, the airplane wreckage was observed at 60 degrees, 59 minutes north latitude, and 44 degrees, 13 minutes west longitude. The elevation of the terrain where the airplane came to rest was 7,000 feet mean sea level. This investigation is under the jurisdiction of the Government of Denmark. Any further information pertaining to this accident may be obtained from: Denmark Aircraft Accident Investigation Board Vanloese, Denmark This report is for informational purposes only, and contains only information released by the Government of Denmark.
