The MeCorder is a mini video recorder that holds up to 30 seconds of video, which you can download to your computer to save and share. As you can see it is small, fits right in the palm of my hand...which makes it easy to handle for little hands :) There are three buttons on the front face to power on/off, record, and playback. There are no batteries (yay!), you just plug it into your computer with the included USB cord to charge/upload. It also has a magnetic back.When you record, you can see yourself (or me taking a picture of myself) and once a video is recorded, there is a blue LED light that flashes indicating there is a new video. The video stays put until you record over it. So far, I have used this with my articulation kiddos...they really liked using it! For one of my older students, he did a monologue (he's into drama) and then watched the playback. We had a great discussion on his articulation and he was able to judge his accuracy! It was an awesome activity for him. For a couple of my younger students, I let them do this at the end of a session and we saved it to the computer. I plan to use it as progress monitoring as they move through levels with their target phonemes. Every kid loves watching themselves! I could also see using it as a warm up activity for an artic group.You could also use for following directions, center instructions (if you do rotations), fluency/voice practice, sharing progress with teachers/parents, social cuing, carryover practice of ANY skill!The draw back...only 30 seconds of video and you have to dump to your computer to save any video...this means if you are working with a group, you would have to connect to your computer to download each video after each kid.Learning Resources provided me with one free MeCorder to review and one to giveaway.

In my kindergarten classroom, I practice The Daily 5 during my Reading Workshop time: read to self, read to someone, listen to reading, work on writing, and word work. Over time, my students have become less and less interested in reading to self. I used the MeCorder as a way to motivate the students to get their bag of leveled books and sit down to read. It worked! I had a line of students who were eager to read their books if they could be recorded and watch the playback! Unfortunately, the MeCorder only records up to two 30-second clips at a time. Also, the buttons are a bit temperamental . If the buttons were not so difficult to manipulate at times, I would be able to have my students use it independently, which would be more ideal. It is also best to use the MeCorder in a quiet environment as the volume level does not allow for it to be heard with a lot of background noise.

MeCorder Review
By Teaching With Love and Laughter
from Florida
Students can record themselves AND see themselves being recorded. How fun is that? It's the right size for little hands and very kid friendly to use. It's great for me to record directions to an activity and for my students to practice articulation, fluency, letter identification, and, any other quick, short review of a myriad of skills. The amount of time you can record each segment is only 30 seconds, but, you can save each recording to your laptop for further review and evaluation. I love it because my students are excited any time I introduce and let them be in charge of kid friendly technology. The MeCorder is a nice addition to my classroom.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Awesome Device!
By laughinbrunette
from Oneonta, AL
I was thrilled to try this out for Learning Resources! I love it and my students love it, too! It is great for station use. As mentioned in other reviews, it only records a short amount, but for young children, that isn't a problem. I use it for my kids to practice letter naming...that way they can check themselves. They love the be the "star of the show"!
Easy Way for Directions in the Classroom
By The Organized Classroom Blog
from Ohio
I reviewed this product for Learning Resources in Nov 2012.I love how light it is - I mean really light, so you could pop it in your pocket if needed. And it is magnetic, which is super handy. But the coolest feature was the idea that students can just press a button (there are only 3 to choose from on the machine which makes it pretty much foolproof), and be able to document so many things in the classroom!One note: the video will only capture 30 seconds at a time. While that is not optimal for a huge assessment, it is feasible for showing short fluency passages, students showing a quick project they have completed, or even explaining a math problem.
Nifty little gadget for the classroom!
By First Grade Fever by Christie

The "MeCorder-Mini Video Recorder" is a nifty lil gadget that allows students to record themselves. And what kid doesn't love to record themself? It is really easy to use-just plug it into your computer's USB port to charge it up. Oh ya! NO batteries! That is a big plus for me! If you want to save a file, it's that easy also-just plug it back into your computer & save the file. I started thinking about some of the ways that you could use the MeCorder in the classroom:to practice sight words, speech/articulation practice {great for students to see mouth formation}, to record directions at a center, assessments, sentence writing assistant {Many students have difficulty writing a complete sentence because they sometimes forget some of the words in their sentence as they are writing. The MeCorder is very helpful to those students-they can record their sentence and then play it back as many times as needed until they have successfully written the entire sentence.}, to record messages to send home to parents {I think it would be really cool to record a kiddo that has had a super day saying something like, "Hi Mom & Dad! I did a great job in school today!" All you have to do is plug it right into your computer & attach the file in an email to the parents. Imagine how excited that parent will be when they get a compliment plus a lil video clip of their child! I can't wait to try this!!!!}

The MeCorder has 3 simple buttons (power, record, and play). Sometimes the buttons do get a stuck and it takes a few pressing to get it to work. At one time my son pushed it too many times and it stuck. It would not turn on or off. I let it sit to run the battery out and then it was fine. My son also often held it where it cut his face off. He did not have it in the right place to capture his face, but I think he was more worried about it hearing his voice then his face so he would hold it close to his mouth. The MeCorder would be great to keep on the fridge and add messages. Like leave your child a message with their chores to do for the day or they can leave a message to you about anything. It can also be helpful in education with children using it to read aloud on their own. Children with speech difficulties could use it to watch themselves as they say words or sounds and play it back to help them. I would love to see my son use this to help him educationally, but for now he enjoys just saying silly things and watching it playback.I was given this item for review on my blog.

The MeCorder is a fun way to implement technology into the classroom or homeschool environment. Kids love technology and this is a great way for kids to take control of their learning. We used it to record our poems of the week and to play back for extra practice. I had a little difficulty with the buttons at times as they seemed to not work. Also, the 30 second recording time proved to be a little too short when recording. However, the this is a product that is super useful and helpful in assessing kids in so many different ways!
Kids love it!

I used it to record directions for a center for my 2nd grade students. The magnetic back let me stick it to a file cabinet at the center so the small group could all see it at once. Students could play it back as often as needed. Several of my students used it to record their responses to a story we read instead of writing it. They loved how easy it was to record. The only problem was we had to download each file to my computer before the next student could record otherwise it would write over the previous recording. The sound quality isn't the best, but my students were intrigued with seeing themselves.

ADN. Evermore707. It is better than twitter due to the fact there is less noise.
The iMore team is on App.net, here's how to follow us!
We're talking social all week this week on Talk Mobile, and one of the newest pretenders to the throne is App.net. It's a more interesting proposition than just a mere social network, positioning itself as a platform and inviting developers to build on it. It's also not free, which from the outset may have put some folks off trying it out. There are now invite-only, free, limited accounts to get people through the door and trying it out. And of course, the iMore team, well some of the iMore team, is on App.net as well, so here's how to follow us!
If you're on ADN drop your handle into the comments below!

The iMore team is on App.net, here's how to follow us!
Sadly, there is no one on it though. All I get in my stream are *promotional* posts. I follow a few real people but they never post. So even though it's "advert-free" and a paid service, the net effect is just a stream of adverts.
I think someone needs to make a tool that takes whatever someone posts to Twitter, and sends it to App.net as well to at least get the service started. As it is, it's a ghost town.
First, there are people that post loads, you just need to find the right people. Start with @dalton and @berg, the creators of ADN, and some of the iMore folk of course.
More importantly though...don't focus on following people. ADN isn't Twitter (though it has one Twitter-ish aspect to it). Explore the other ADN uses. This isn't a microblog, it's an app architecture.
@justinwalsh I just joined today to finally try it out and I like it! I'll stick with the free tier for now though...
I agree, it's somewhat less noisy, and there are less fake humor accounts, or spoof accounts. I'm @juanjvrensburg
More than willing to pay for a really great social network! I'm on adn...@1wayswim
You can find me on @robbell69
Twitter works fine. It just depends on where the people you want to interact with/follow are. There is no one I feel like interacting with on ADN, hence I don't use it.
ADN is the unpopular version of Google+. Don't believe me? Just look at the details of the iMore list of accounts; only Rene is active. ADN is an embarrassment for social media, it's like a cruel joke played on a select few.
haha, good observation.
Its funny that the guy that wrote this post (Devine) has just one ADN post from a couple months ago asking "Does anyone actually use app.net?"

Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome

Newline Maker
Can Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome be inherited?
In approximately 85 percent of cases of Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome, there is no family history prior to the individual who has been diagnosed with the condition. However, parents of one child with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome may be at risk of having other children with the disorder. This risk depends on the genetic cause of the condition.[1][2]
Another 10 to 15 percent of people with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome are part of families with more than one affected family member. In most of these families, the condition appears to have an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance. Autosomal dominant inheritance means that one copy of the altered gene in each cell is typically sufficient to cause the disorder. Occasionally, a person with the altered gene will not have any of the characteristic signs and symptoms of the condition.[1][2]
Rarely, Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome results from particular changes in the structure of a chromosome. Some of these chromosomal abnormalities are inherited from a parent, while others occur as random events during the formation of reproductive cells (eggs and sperm) or in the earliest stages of development before birth.[1][2]
Identifying the underlying cause of Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome for an individual allows for a better assessment of recurrence risk.

Phoenix Suns have wasted time, are asking for more
Phoenix Suns president of basketball operations Lon Babby said something interesting on Arizona Sports 620's Doug and Wolf Wednesday.
Actually, he said a lot of interesting things, but something really stood out.
"I look at the big picture. From where we were when we came here to where we are now is the way I view it. People want to take a snapshot of where we are this week, or in the last 72 hours, they're going to have a very distorted view," he told the hosts.
"We've gone through and I think, and I've said it before, a very respectful transition period, allowing the previous era, the Steve Nash era, as great as it was, to run its course. We almost squeezed the last one or two playoff berths out of it. People criticized us for not making moves to start over sooner, now that we're in the process of starting over sooner they wish we were winning more and doing more."
Babby was trying to explain why fans should have patience with the franchise, adding that the Suns' future includes a good amount of draft picks and cap space with which to rebuild. However, patience is earned, not given.
Then again, in a way Babby is right; the rebuilding process is underway, and the team is well-positioned to acquire some quality pieces in the coming years.
However, where Babby is wrong is in giving himself and the franchise credit for the last couple of seasons. Were the final two years of Steve Nash respectful? Sure. Were they productive? Not really.
And because of that, fans simply don't trust this front office to get the job done.
If fans are to judge Babby and GM Lance Blanks from the time they took over -- as Babby requests they do -- all they can see is a team that has missed the playoffs two straight seasons and is currently heading towards a third trip to the lottery. Many folks -- myself included -- believed the team needed to bottom out before it could ascend back towards the top. The team is doing that now, albeit unintentionally, but that's not the issue.
What is the issue is people don't view the final Nash years in the same light the front office does. What Babby sees as a "respectful transition period" fans and basketball minds see as the slow bleeding out of a once-proud franchise. Similar to taking a Band-Aid off, it's better to just do it quickly rather than slowly. It's going to be painful no matter how you do it, so make it quick and move on. Babby and co. elected to let things slowly deteriorate, leading to a painful couple of playoff-less seasons. Was it worth it? Judging by how the Suns are viewed right now, the answer would appear to be "nay."
But what's done is done, the Suns are bottoming out.
The rebuilding process that should have started three years ago has only now truly begun, which means the team is likely at least a few years away from challenging for anything significant. What Babby called "starting over sooner" could have -- and should have -- occurred sooner, and instead of maybe just two or three down years the Suns are set up to have at least twice that number.
This rebuilding process -- if not in earnest but in reality -- started in 2010-11, yet the team still lacks the requisite stars it will need if the goal is to compete for a championship. Perhaps a couple of the draft picks Phoenix owns over the next few years will turn into those stars. Perhaps they won't.
"I view it as you look at the body of our work at the end of a reasonable period of time and see where we are," Babby said.
It's been three years, and the only thing that's happened is the Suns have gone from the Western Conference Finals to the Western Conference's basement. Not all of that is on this group, and some of the decline was going to happen no matter what anyone did.
But three years into their tenure the only thing the Babby/Blanks combo has to offer is talk.
Sooner or later, they'll have to start producing results.

If your daily schedule is becoming dictated by frequent and sudden urinary urges that leave you scrambling for the nearest bathroom, it might be time to ask a doctor about overactive bladder.
Overactive bladder is a broad term that describes certain symptoms: urinary urgency, frequent urination, waking up at least twice a night to urinate, or urge incontinence (leakage of urine).
"It's pretty straightforward. It's really a diagnosis based on symptoms," says Donna Y. Deng, MD, MS, a urologist and associate professor at the University of California-San Francisco who also serves on the board of directors at the National Association for Continence. But patients need not have all four signs to be diagnosed, she says.
How is OAB diagnosed?
Many types of doctors can diagnose and treat overactive bladder. "The majority that come across this will be primary care doctors, internal medicine, and obviously, urologists and gynecologists," Deng says.
Treatment is important because overactive bladder can seriously interfere with activities, Deng says. Patients may need to pull off the freeway immediately to find a restroom, or they will map out every public bathroom before they run errands. Some fear leaving their homes and become isolated. "People really redefine themselves," Deng says. "They really plan their lives around the bathroom. It's definitely a great detriment to quality of life."
In some cases, the urge is so strong that people can't reach a toilet in time. "There's very little warning time," Deng says.
Talking about overactive bladder
Talking about such personal issues can be uncomfortable, but worthwhile, experts say. "Patients often don't volunteer information," says Tomas L. Griebling, MD, MPH, professor and vice chair of the department of urology at the University of Kansas and a faculty associate in the Landon Center on Aging. "A lot of people…stop being sexually active because of incontinence and leaking and often are reluctant to discuss that."
Tell your doctor about such problems, he says. "There are usually things that we can do to try to help people."
Urge incontinence versus stress incontinence
Not everyone with overactive bladder will have incontinence, a problem in which urine leaks. But doctors do check for symptoms of stress incontinence and urge incontinence. If a patient has urge incontinence, it's more likely to point to overactive bladder.
Also, "you need to make a clear distinction because the treatments are very different," Deng says.
With stress incontinence, people leak urine when they cough, laugh, or sneeze. "People leak urine with physical activities that increase the pressure inside the abdomen," Griebling says. Stress incontinence can begin when pelvic muscles weaken, for example, after pregnancy and childbirth.
With urge incontinence, "people actually have that sensation of needing to go very quickly, but leak urine before they can reach the toilet," Griebling says. Typically, the sense of urgency stems from involuntary contractions of the bladder muscles.
Voiding diary
To prepare for a doctor's visit, consider keeping a voiding diary for a few days. Record each time you urinate, how much urine you pass, how much leakage you have, what you were doing when the leakage occurred, and what you drink and eat each day. Not only will the diary help you with accurate recall, it might provide your doctor important clues.
Questions Your Doctor Will Ask You
During a first visit, doctors ask several questions to help rule out or narrow the possible cause of your bladder problems.
- How often do you urinate each day?
- How much liquid do you drink each day (with meals and between meals)?
- Do you leak urine? Do you leak urine when you sneeze, cough, or exercise?
- Do you feel an urge when you have to urinate or have a sudden urge to urinate at inappropriate times? Do you have to rush to the toilet and sometimes not make it?
- Do you have trouble starting your urine stream? Is your urine stream like it always has been, or does it seem "slow" or "weak"?
- Do you feel like you empty your bladder? Do you have to strain or push? Do you dribble or leak urine after you think you have finished urinating?
- How many times do you get up at night to use the toilet?
- Does it ever hurt or burn when you urinate? Does your urine have a bad odor, contain blood, or appear dark yellow or concentrated?
- If you wear pads, are there a few drops of urine in the pad or a bladder-full?
- How often do you have a bowel movement? What's the consistency of your stools? Are they easy or hard to pass?
Doctors ask about bowel movements because constipation can put pressure on the bladder.
Also, "patients with bowel problems often have urinary problems and vice versa," Griebling says. Nerves that control the bladder also control the sigmoid colon, and some patients leak both urine and stool, he says.
Amy Rosenman, MD, a urogynecologist in Santa Monica, Calif., and a clinical assistant professor at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, also asks her female patients when they had their last bladder infection "because that can cause urgency and frequency," she says.
During the exam, doctors also take a thorough medical history to rule out problems that can cause overactive bladder symptoms. These disorders include multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, stroke, diabetes, kidney problems, enlarged prostate, or a bladder tumor or bladder stones. "There are many things that cause the bladder to behave badly," Rosenman says.
If other conditions have been ruled out, doctors often don't know exactly what causes an overactive bladder. The problem becomes more common with aging, but experts say that it's not a normal or inevitable part of growing older. However, even if doctors don't know the cause, they can still treat the symptoms.
Don't hesitate to seek out a specialist if your symptoms aren't under good control, Rosenman says. Not all doctors are well-versed in the multitude of treatment options, such as biofeedback or electrical nerve stimulation, she says.
Usually, patients are first treated with medications, she says, often effectively. "But if that doesn't work, then we want [patients] to know that that's not the end."
Questions to Ask Your Doctor
Patients can also take part in educating themselves and decision-making. Some questions to ask your doctor:
- What might be causing my overactive bladder?
- What are my treatment options?
- Do I need medication? Why?
- Does the medication have side effects?
- Are there any special instructions regarding the drug?
- How soon should my symptoms improve?
- Besides medication, can other treatments or products help me? (For example, absorbent pads, bladder training, Kegel or pelvic floor exercises, exercises, biofeedback, sacral nerve stimulation)
- What other steps can I take (for example, dietary changes) to cope with overactive bladder in my daily life?
Testing and surgery
If your doctor recommends any testing, make sure that you understand the reasons:
- What will this test show?
- How accurate is it?
- How will it affect my treatment?
- Are there any risks or side effects?
- Do I need to do anything special before or after the test?
If you've been diagnosed with overactive bladder and have a severe case that doesn't respond to non-surgical treatments, your doctor might recommend surgery. If so, ask the following:
- What are the risks and benefits of surgery?
- How much improvement can I expect? How soon?
- Will I be hospitalized? How long is the recovery time?
- Can you refer me to another physician for a second opinion?

Combine the following in a saucepan:
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup butter (must be actual butter)
1 cup agave nectar
1 cup heavy cream (plus 1 more cup of cream to be added once it is boiling)
Cook together until it boils. Once it boils, slowly add 1 additional cup of cream. Turn heat down so that it boils gently, stirring every three minutes until it is a caramel-y color, about 30 minutes. If you stir it constantly or cook it for too long, the caramels will be too hard.
After 30 minutes at a rolling boil, remove from heat and stir in 2 teaspoons of good quality vanilla. Pour in a buttered loaf pan. Let set and cut into squares. I have had to make these several time to get them to be just the right texture. Experiment a bit before you plan to give them as a gift.
The type of stove you have will effect the cooking time of the caramels. I have a gas stove and it takes 30 minutes. Try cooking them for 30 minutes the first time and you will know whether that is too much or not enough. If it is too much the caramels will be too hard (like lozenges) and if it is not enough they will not set up enough to cut and serve (except in a spoon). You can reheat those that are too soft and cook them a bit longer in an effort to reach the proper caramel consistency. These are not the easiest things to get right but once you do, they are the BEST!

Herd feels frustration
TULSA, Okla. -- It was supposed to be Marshall and Memphis playing Saturday for the Conference USA men's basketball championship.
Nearly everyone thought so in the preseason.
Memphis made it, and won a championship game thriller against Southern Miss, 91-79, in double overtime in the BOK Center.
Where was Marshall?
At home, presumably watching on TV -- or maybe the CBS telecast was too painful to watch -- after being bounced from the tournament Wednesday in the first round by Tulane, 66-64.
"Just a bittersweet ending to a frustrating season to say the least," Marshall head coach Tom Herrion said.
Lots of tears were shed by players in the Marshall locker room after the season-ending defeat.
Herrion took Dre Kane and Dennis Tinnon along for the post-game press conference and they answered questions thrown at them, but the pain was obvious.
Nigel Spikes sat on a bench about 30 minutes after the game, fighting back the tears and slowly taking off his Thundering Herd uniform for the final time.
Spikes, one of three departing seniors on the team, spoke quietly as he offered some advice for players coming back next season.
"Just learn from this year," he said. "Move forward. Get better."
Marshall ended with a 13-19 overall record in its first losing season since 2008-09 and was tied for ninth place in C-USA at 6-10. A season that began with high expectations coming off a 2012 National Invitation Tournament appearance ended with great disappointment.
The Herd had some big victories along the way, but also some huge defeats, and didn't ever really get it together for an extended amount of time.
If one word describes the season as a whole it would be "inconsistency." Marshall lost three of its first four games in the early-season 2K Sports Classic then won three in a row from November into December, but didn't put wins back-to-back again.
Many times the Herd would fall behind by sizable margins in games and rally to make them closer.
"Always piecing it together too late," said senior Rob Goff.
In its C-USA tournament game with Tulane the Herd played superb defense and was efficient with the basketball to pull away by 13 points with 12:15 left to play. The Green Wave got it together and roared from behind.
Kane's drive for a basket put Marshall ahead, 49-47, with 6:52 remaining and the lead changed hands eight times before it was tied, 63-63, with 1:02 to go. Tulane won on Ricky Tarrant's shot-clock beating 3-point heave from about 25 feet away that banked in with 6.9 seconds left.
"I think we just stopped playing defense," Spikes said. "They started making shots."
Marshall has some areas that need addressed for next season, better shooting and improved defense among them. The Herd was 10th in the 12-team conference for field goal percentage (42.7), last in 3-point field goal percentage (30.7) and last in free throw percentage (59.8). The Herd defense allowed 72.7 points a game, which was 11th in the conference.
Turnovers were another problem with Marshall committing a league-high 15.8 per game. Marshall was also outrebounded in 17 games.
The team lost five times at home (10-5) and had only one true road win -- a Feb. 20 game at UCF. Home game attendance in Cam Henderson Center fell off by 563 from the 2011-12 season to an average of 5,587 per game.
Several things Marshall couldn't control contributed to the frustration:
N Nov. 15 -- Freshman Kareem Canty's initial eligibility was struck down by the NCAA, leaving the team without a true point guard. Kane moved over from shooting guard to fill the void.
N Nov. 20 - Goff and Yous Mbao collided in a practice drill and suffered head injuries. Goff missed two games. Mbao was out for 10 games.
N Dec. 10 - Kane broke a bone in his hand and sat out for games. Marshall was 1-3 in his absence.
N Jan. 7 - Freshman guard Kelvin Amayo, who became eligible at semester break, quit the team after playing in four games.
Marshall has to replace its three seniors. Tinnon averaged 10.5 points and was third in the conference for rebounds at 9.1. Tinnon's 641 rebounds in two seasons are 19th in school history. Spikes (5.7 points, 7.3 rebounds, 1.9 blocked shots) finished his career sixth in Herd records with 123 blocks. Goff averaged 4.8 points and 3.6 rebounds.
Sophomore guard Chris Martin elected to leave the team after the spring semester. He scored 3.1 points in 23 game appearances.
Kane, an All-CUSA second team selection, has another year of eligibility, but indicated he might choose to use it at another school. Kane said he would discuss the future with Herrion and his family before making any decisions. He was second on the team in scoring (15.1) and led the conference with 7.0 assists.
Junior forward Elijah Pittman's 16.1 scoring average was seventh in the league and he made 37.1 percent of his 3-point attempts. Junior guard D.D. Scarver (11/9) shot 32.7 percent on 3-pointers.
Other players expected to return are sophomore forward Jamir Hanner, freshman guard Tamron Manning, redshirt freshman guard DeVince Boykins, sophomore center J.P. Kambola and Mbao, a 7-foot-2 junior.
Manning, who was in the starting lineup five games, and Boykins both received more playing time late in the season.
Canty was joined by 6-6 forward Ryan Taylor sitting out this season as academically ineligible freshmen. Sophomore TyQuane Goard, a 6-7 forward from Charleston, also sat out as a transfer from Ohio University.
Marshall signed 6-6 guard Shawn Smith from City College of San Francisco in November and has a verbal commitment from 6-4 guard Justin Edmonds at Owens Community College in Toledo, Ohio, for the spring signing period. Herrion has said he's looking for big men to complete the recruiting class.

With two combination pliers and one straight welding wire you can make a wonderful present.
A lot of variations are possible and only limited by your imagination.
About the wire: I took the cheapest wire I could find in the hardware store.
It looks as if it has a core of iron and some copper coating. Diameter it about 0.8-1mm and length 100cm.
You could also try this with other thick wire, but this welding wire is ideal. It is elastic to a certain degree what means it's not so soft like pure copper, and you can form nice straight parts. Just start with a thin one and then shift to thicker diameters if you like.
Step 1: Starting to bend
Take the straight welding wire, a metering rule and mark the middle of the wire. Then take the two pliers and bend the wire right in the middle, so you get a small loop on one side and two endings on the other. You can also use a small nail to get the loop real good shaped.
As you can see from the pictures I only used one small plier and my hand to bend the wire. Do it as you like.
Didn't match the middle?
The legs are of different length?
Well no problem, as long as it is only a few centimeters that doesn't matter. We will take care of that later.
Step 2: Forming the head
Take one of the plier, hold the double wire and bend the rest with the other one.
The shape is just a rough suggestion. If your wire is much longer than mine you have to enlarge the upper and lower legs. If it is much shorter, vice versa.
Go ahead and bend it down to the cage for the tea light.
...though then the name wouldn't be quite so catchy...
Dri... Dri-der?
"Billy Mays here, with the original Dri-der Tea light Spider! The best way to hold those favorite candles of yours..."
"...only $19.95 retail price, but wait! Call now, and you will get two of the amazing Dri-der Tealight Spiders for the price of one! Plus, a whole container of Oxyclean! 3 great products, a value of $80.00, but for only $19.95!"
He's dead.
...he could have... =)
I bought two some years ago at an designshop, they named them 'firefly'.
Just found them with google: http://www.invotisorange.com/products/FireFly.aspx
This has so much personalizing potential!
Makes me think of modern lanterns.
And a good reference to Futurama :]
I hope anybody inspired by this adds a comment to say so, and maybe adds a photo of their own version.

Where is it from?
- A Manufactured For Collingwood, Australia
- B Maker Reservoir, Australia
Knitting Sample - Edda Azzola, Dark & Light Brown Stripe, circa 1960s Reg. No: HT 18482
- Summary:
- Dark and Light Brown Stripe Knitting sample, one of many made by Edda Azzola to test designs prior to making a garment. Edda Azzola, nee Pugnetti, was born in 1927 in Moggio Udinese in the Friuli region, northern Italy and the family moved to nearby Pontebba four years later. In Italy Edda and her two sisters worked as knitting machinists from the family home. Edda married Angelo Azzola, a young man from her village and they migrated to Australia in the mid 1950s.
In 1958 Edda purchased a knitting machine from an Italian girl who couldn't afford to take back to Italy. She then made contact with a factory owner, Mr Richard (Ricardo), whose knitting factory was in Collingwood. He supplied the wool to produce clothes which were supplied to stores such as Georges, Myer and David Jones. Edda worked for Richard until the factory closed in 1974, working on the machine and finishing by hand. She worked 5-6 hours a day, depending on demand and deadlines and the work suited her as it allowed her the flexibility of working from home, and organizing her labour to suit her domestic needs. After 1974, Edda used the machine to make clothing for family and friends, including baby clothes for her grandchildren.
- Description:
- Knitting sample. Dark and light brown stripe. Thick and thin stripes and rib throughout.

The S.C. United Mount Pleasant U11 Revolution soccer team won the Carolina Elite Soccer Academy Fall Challenge tournament in a shootout last weekend in Greenville.
SCUMP trailed two goals in the first half but climbed back by the second to tie the match and force overtime. After two overtime periods, the match was pushed to sudden-death penalty kicks where Charles Chaves found the back of the net to claim a 7-6 championship win for SCUMP.
The Revolution kept their nerve on a bitterly cold night, Revolution head coach Sean Brazil said. It made the long drive home a lot easier.
SCUMP was 2-0-1 in its bracket, with wins of 6-3, 1-0 and a 3-3 tie, to move into the championship round.

This community is a place to share information and support with others who are trying to stop using drugs, prescription drugs, alcohol, tobacco or other addictive substances. Discuss with others, the symptoms of addiction, addiction recovery, ways to quit like tapering and cold turkey, and withdrawal symptoms. If you are interested in general "chat", please visit our Addiction Social Community.
Most of this program is from the book END YOUR ADDICTION NOW.. the doctor who wrote it ran a treatment facility in UPstate New york where they gave patients amino acids and vitamin via IV during treatment.. He also counsels patients individually.. All of these things are meant to rebuild activity in the major neuro transmitters.. as addicts our neurotransmitters have been disrupted by our use of drugs.. even stuff like cigarettes and eating alot of sugar can disrupt them.. with drugs however it can be more damaging.. I will list the aminos maily used for addiction, their dosages etc.. everything should be taken on a empty stomach... an hour b4 meals.. Take all of them together with lots of water... I have added stuff as I have done more research on this...
**Please check with your doctor or pharmacist for any interactions with any meds you may be taking.
B- vitamin Complex 100mgs, needed for absorption of aminos, rebuilding of the liver, reducing stress, If you can get injections from your doctor that is even better.. I would buy the sublingual for best absorption
Multi mineral vitamin high potency formula , just good to take all around, addicts are using lacking many of the right vitamins and minerals, and alot of prescription drugs rob our bodies of nutrients.
5HTP-- this is what tryptophan gets turned into prior to being turned into serotonin in our brains. Serotonin is what is usually depleted if we are depressed and anxious.. Taking this will help with PAWS ( post accute withdrawl syndrome) or eliminate you suffering from them all together DO NOT TAKE IF YOU ARE TAKING A SSRI OR TRICYLIC ANTI DEPRESSANT
Dosage-- up to 300mgs a day 3x DAILY ( I take 100mgs 3x per day, start with the lower dose and move up if needed) IF YOU ARE TAKING THE 5HPT PLZ DO NOT TAKE SAM E AS WELL. IT CAN BE DANEROUS
L-glutamine--amino acid required for GABA production, that is the relaxing part of our brain. up to 2000mgs 3x per day.. ( I take 1000 mgs 3x day, again start lower and work up if needed)
L-Taurine-- another "relaxing" amino up to 1000mgs 3x daily
DLPA-- helps restore the function to the pain receptors working with the enporphins/enkephalins, can also help with pain if you are someone that suffers with some kind of legitamate pain. DO NOT TAKE IF YOU ARE TAKING A SSRI OR TRICYLIC ANTIDEPRESSANT or if you have DIABETES or HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE
Dose-- up to 2000mgs 3x per day (again you can start lower like 1000mgs 3x daily)
Sam-e-- aids in stress relief, depression,eases pain, and produces antioxidant effect that can improve the health of the liver 200-400mgs per day YOU ARE TAKING THE SAME PLZ DO NOT TAKE 5HPT AS WELL. IT CAN BE DANEROUS
Vitamin C-- use Ester c buffered form, detoxifies the system, and lessens cravings for drugs. Supports many body systems. Take 2,000mgs every 3 hours. Start with 1,000mgs and work your way up. Can cause loose stools, body will adjust.
Calcium 1,000mgs at bedtime Magnesium 1,000mgs at bedtime nourishes the central nervous system and helps control tremors like RLS and other muscle spasms calms and relaxes the body, helps sleep.
If you find yourself really struggling with energy after being on the aminos you can add L-tyrosine to the mix in the early part of the day.. up to 1,500mgs.. This is not usually used in the treatment of pain pill addiction and can over stimulate some people I would say only take it if you are still struggling with energy after starting everything else..
If you find yourself having some anxiety the amino L-theanine is like natural valium.. It has helped me so much I no longer need to take xanax at all for my panic attacks
As far as sleep.. in my early days off of pills I took a sleep blend from GNC with a L-theanine and calcium magnesium liquid everynight and slept like a baby.
Another aid to help with sleep is melatonin. This is a hormone released from the pinal gland in the human body at night time for sleep...this is essential for those coming off opiods. As little as 1mg to 30mg have been effective. Start low and add 3-5 mgs every half hour till sleep. Reasearch on healthy volunteers using up to 100mg of melatonin in a single dose shoes little side effects. Melatonin is also known as a very strong antioxidant with 1000x the potenecy of vitamin E. Take only at night right before bedtime as the hormone is released naturally by the body when it is dark.
I suggest GNC to purchase this stuff they are pretty cheap (some stuff is only 4.99 a bottle) they were also super helpful and knew alot.. I got a gold card to save some bucks in the future..
After a few months if you are feeling good you can taper the aminos back to once a day... then a few months after that a few times a week.. the best part about taking aminos instead of drugs is you don't have to take them forever to get the benefit.. the FIX the problem not put a band aid on it.
Protein shakes can be of great benefit.. protein is needed for rebuilding of nearly everything in the body.
If you have any questions I am always around.. FLaddict

Possibly. Brian just got his power back on today for the first time since Superstorm Sandy struck NJ & NY so might not be back up to full speed by then. And just a reminder that the Board will be closed Monday for the holiday.
That's amazing that it took that long for power to come back.

LiveLeak.com - Detroit councilwoman to Obama: You owe us a bailout
DETROIT (WJBK) -- The city of Detroit faces a major financial crisis and one member of city council thinks President Barack Obama should step in and help.
City Council member JoAnn Watson said Tuesday the citizen's support of Obama in last month's election was enough reason for the president to bailout the struggling the city.
"Our people in an overwhelming way supported the re-election of this president and there ought to be a quid pro quo and you ought to exercise leadership on that," said Watson. "Of course, not just that, but why not?"
Nearly 75 percent of Wayne County voters pulled the lever for Obama in November.
The White House has expressed no plans to bailout the cash-crunched city that some experts say could run out of money by the end of the year.
The federal government has bailed out cities in the past, however. In 1975, President Gerald Ford extended more than $2 billion in credit to New York City to help it avoid a financial collapse.
I know this shouldn't come a surprise to me but... Wow... If she can be a councilwoman then I'm gonna go be a doctor... I thought the auto bailout did the trick for Detroit. Apparently they make a few cars there.

Agriculture remains the backbone of most Asia-Pacific developing economies and approximately 50% of the Asian working population is employed in the agricultural sector. In view of the export potential of agricultural products in the region, it is urgent to reduce trade costs in this sector, particularly since they are typically twice as high as those for manufactured goods. Agricultural trade costs within each of the different Asian subregions and country groups are not found to differ sharply, particularly when tariff costs are excluded.
Governments of the ESCAP region gathered in Incheon, Republic of Korea, from 29 October to 2 November 2012 to chart the course of the new Asian and Pacific Decade of Persons with Disabilities for the period 2013 to 2022. They were joined by representatives of civil society organizations, including organizations of and for persons with disabilities. Also in attendance were representatives of intergovernmental organizations, development cooperation agencies and the United Nations system.
Asia-Pacific Population Journal Volume 27 was released in 2012.
Gender and Development Discussion Paper Series No. 21
Harmful Traditional Practices in Three Countries of South Asia: culture, human rights and violence against women.
The Disability at a Glance series, which started in 2006, serves as a companion for policymakers, statisticians and representatives of organizations of, and for, persons with disabilities in Asia and the Pacific. These publications aim to provide a regional overview of disability policies and practices, as well as relevant country data and information.
This publication on Disability, Livelihood and Poverty in Asia and the Pacific is an executive summary that draws from a wider body of primary and secondary research undertaken by the ESCAP research team. It considers both the quantitative and qualitative dimensions which shape the livelihood experiences of persons with disabilities. The primary research is derived from collaboration between ESCAP and its national research partners: disabled people's organizations (DPOs) and organizations for the empowerment of persons with disabilities.
Extreme weather events and water-related disasters are occurring in Central Asia with increasing frequency. This publication provides an overview of water-related hazards and extreme weather events, their socio-economic effects, and related disaster risk management practices in countries of Central Asia and neighbouring countries. It outlines relevant subregional and regional cooperative mechanisms and initiatives that address these hazards in various range of aspects.
The ESCAP/UNISDR Asia-Pacific Disaster Report 2012, Reducing Vulnerability and Exposure to Disasters provides an analysis of the impact of disasters on Asian and Pacific countries between 1970 to 2011, and discusses the twin challenge faced by the region of increasing exposure of its people and economic assets, and heightened vulnerabilities experienced by the poor and other disadvantaged groups to disasters. Pressures resulting from rapid urban development and economic growth has resulted in people and economic activities expanding into increasingly exposed and hazard-prone land.
This Guide covers the wide-ranging legal issues that are related to the development and operation of a Single Window and, to a certain degree, some of the important electronic commerce legal concepts and approaches applicable to the single window environment. It is intended to give policymakers a broad understanding of the key considerations that should be addressed in effectively establishing the legal infrastructure for a SW.
Green Economy in a Blue World: Pacific Perspectives offers green economy analyses, linked to a range of policy options, to better balance Pacific development in our pursuit of a more inclusive, resilient, and sustainable future. While vulnerability of small island developing states is increasing due to impacts of climate change and ocean acidification, coping capacity has not. In addition, strong economic performance of some Pacific island countries, particularly Papua New Guinea, has not always been accompanied by equally strong development gains.

"If you create digital products, you have a responsibility to make them easy to use." – Whitney Hess
She's absolutley right, we do. The UX community embraces this idea. It champions a very worthy cause. Making products work better for people. And it's a great community for sharing it's expertise. Loads of great blogs, conference podcasts and our very own Dr Phil (Jared Spool, god bless ya).
But what about the other folk who are involved in creating digital products? Developers, product and project managers, technical writers, marketers and so on. I work in the UK as an independent consultant and a lot of companies I work with have little or no UX budget or experience. This leads to a lot of evangalizing on my part. Generally people get it, they see the value in focusing the design of a product around it's users and they get enthused about the techniques I've introduced. But what happens when that 'preachy designer' bloke has moved on. Who has the responsibility to ensure these products keep being easy to use.
We do. So whenever I leave a project now I always buy the team a present. A book that will go part way to help fill that gap and act as a constant reminder that products fail if the user is ignored. Here is a few I've bought for (or recommended to) projects I've been working on.
Don't make me think – Steve Krug
No real surprise here. We've all read it and we all know just how good it is. And it's plain speaking communicates it message to
For: Anyone involved in the production of a web site or application
The Non-Designer's Design Book – Robin Williams
As I mentioned, I've worked in companies where they still have no UI specialists on projects and developers (your OO C#/Java variety) find themselves forced into making UI decisions. Robin Williams' book gives a simple and rounded introduction to the principles of visual design.
For: Developers, Marketers, Product managers
Web Forms Design: Filling in the blanks – Luke Wroblewski
The same reason as above. A great book to inform design decisions for anyone involved in the design and development of web forms. There is a rarely a week goes by where I don't stick it under the nose of a developer or marketeer. It's my current weapon of choice.
For: Developers, Marketers, Customer service
Elements of user experience – Jesse James Garrett
As Montell Jordan once sang "This is how we do it, Adaptive Path does it like nobody does…". Or something similar. For those project managers who have never heard of User Experience this is where to start.
For: Project managers
Observing the User Experience – Mike Kuniavsky
It's very rare a projects doesn't have a clear idea of business requirements or technical constraints. However, the same can't be said for an understanding of user needs. But how do we discover the user needs I hear you ask? From Mike Kuniavsky book on observing and listening to the people who will use your product. Easy. Buy it. Now.
For: Business Analysts, Product managers
Designing the obvious – Robert Hoekman Jr.
Just good old fashioned common sense.
For: Product managers, Developers
Letting go of the words – Janice (Ginny) Redish
A good copywriter is worth their weight in gold. Words can make or break a design. Don't underestimate this aspect of a users experience.
For: Marketing, Customer Services, Technical writers
Getting Real – 37 Signals
Though not a UX specific book, Getting Real goes along way to describing how to create usable and compelling applications. It changed the way I look at application development and made my job so much more rewarding because of the advice they offer.
For: Project managers, Product managers
I'm sure this list will grow. In fact I hope it does. If you know of other books let me know and I'll add to the list.
Keep spreading the word. Peace. Out.
[UPDATE: Thinking about extending this to include blog posts, podcasts, presentations. UX resources for non-UX people instead. All recommendations welcome.]
