thats what swell info is saying.. look at the REAL weather and it says 10-15
eh i just go to surf city. division street. but im gonna search for some spots that are maybe shielded from the wind if i can
I slipped after SurfSexGambleParty's comment about big-wave breaks. My bad for opening up a can of worms. I agree with shark-hunter, let's not advertise. If a surfer wants either 1) a big-wave spot or 2) a gnarly spot, he can ask someone privately or scope out some breaks himself. I agree with shark-hunter's comment and I agree because it could get too crowded and less-experienced surfers could get in the way of more expert surfers. I just wasn't thinking for a moment when I responded and I really am sorry I opened my big trap. It's important to know where to go and to make new-wave discoveries, but it's also important to know your own limits out there, and not clog the lineups of the few really good deep-water and wind-haven spots that are out there. Enjoy.
I apologize for naming a spot earlier but it was already all over surfer mag, surfline, magicseaweed so it is not a secret. That is already a very popular place to surf and I was looking for more responses about the much bigger place nearby. I guess I went about it the wrong way. I strongly believe that a "big wave" spot should be mentioned because there are very few out there that can tackle them when they are going off and they should be conquered. In my previous post, I was actually referring to another place nearby. If you dig online you will find that approx 1.5 miles off this state's coast there is a bigger spot than the ones shown of NH. This not a "secret" spot because nobody EVER goes out there and it rarely goes off. It is a reef. Only way you get out there is via PWC and big ballz. If you do your homework and dig online, you will find the name even though 99.9% of you will never attempt it. I am a local and have never been out there but I am in awe of it because it rarely breaks and am proud to have this on the east coast. Cali gets bigger waves like Mavs, Ghostree, and what used to be Dana point. But this place looks like a cousin during a hurricane week. I would say that only experts go there and I would never call myself an expert nor should anyone else unless you can handle Hawaii's North Shore. But, check these out, and post more pics if anybody has been there! Now go and take Sandys panties off!!Attachment 6024Attachment 6025Attachment 6026
**** you ur dumb
Sandys pu**y probably stinks anyway.
I honestly think this swell is gonna last from this Saturday until next Saturday... and i really hope it does...


text: The Super Bowl is here, and if you haven't figured out your party attire yet, it's time to get shopping. You'll want to wear something festive enough to show your team pride, but also comfortable enough to last through all the beer-drinking, burger-eating, and Beyoncé halftime performance dance moves you'll be busting out. Whether you're cheering on the San Francisco 49ers or rooting for the Baltimore Ravens, we've got some cute pieces for you to snap up before the big game, and — bonus! — they're inconspicuous enough to wear well after the party is over. Pro tip: if you aren't leaning toward one side, just go for gold — both the Ravens and the Niners use the metallic hue as their team color.

HOUSTON - A man has been arrested, accused of leaving a dog tangled around a tree.
Carlos Sosa has been charged with cruelty to animals.
According to court documents, on July 24, a Harris County officer responded to a call about dog being in danger.
When he arrived at a home in southeast Houston, officers said he found a dog at the end of a 20 foot nylon cord.
The other end was attached to a 25 pound weight and the cord was also tangled around a tree branch, police said.
Investigators talked with neighbors and was told the dog had been there for a couple of days.
Police arrested Carlos Sosa.
He posted a $5,000 bond.
Sosa is set to be arraigned on July, 31.

And so we reach the end of the four-and-a-half-hour-long Sontaran storyline. No? Did it just feel that way? Maybe it was the break for Memorial Day that made this seem more protracted than it ought to have felt but I don't think so. It played like a two-parter begging to be a one-parter. There's nothing bad here but if this were the show week-in and week-out I don't know if it would have generated the interest it has or if I would be so geeked to watch it.
I'm at a loss as to how to expand on last week's observations since they all pretty much apply to this one. I will say that this is one of the few Davies-era episodes that could have passed for an old-school episode, or at least what little I saw of old-school Who years ago, which was mostly The Doctor barking orders in front of control panels while a handful of aliens threatened the Earth in dramatically lighted spaceship sets. I will note a couple of things: Tennant seemed to sense he was in the middle of weaker material and played the part to the hilt by way of compensation. If he bugged his eyes out any more he'd need medical attention. And the near-final moment when he planned to sacrifice himself and take lives–a repulsive notion to him–again touched on the Time Lord realpolitick theme that keeps cropping up.
But, in the end, the day was saved, the threat abated, and we moved on to hopefully more consequential episodes.
So instead of Doctor Who present let's talk a bit about Doctor Who future. Steven Moffat has been named as Russell T. Davies replacement as showrunner and I can't imagine anyone out there in fandom has a problem with that. A lifelong fan, Moffat penned the "The Empty Child" and "The Doctor Dances," the two-parter to which all other Doctor Who two-parters aspire. He also wrote the scary "Blink" and "The Girl In The Fireplace," the great episode in which The Doctor befriends Madame De Pompadour. Moffat's first season will air in 2010. Other rumors, via the Who obsessive comics industry gossip columnist Rich Johnston's Lying In The Gutters: At least one episode written by Neil Gaiman. Yay. Also, Johnston suggests that Rob Shearman, who wrote the terrific "Dalek" episode, may be back. And he floats a number of possible Tennant replacements, none of whom I recognize.
Okay, sorry to not have that much to contribute to this week's episode. But next week promises at least one juicy revelation. It's right there in the title: "The Doctor's Daughter"

... like New Yorkers
A Street-Photo-Ethnography in 10 Days
de Christopher Mavric
Acerca del libro
In March 2012 I was on a ten day vacation to New York City. For a hungry photographer it's a more-than-you-can-eat-buffet. You can feel and see that everything around you happens incredibly fast and at the same moment. I would need a lot more time to make a book like this on my hometown Graz in Austria.
New York impressed me with its many-sidedness. In a distance as in between two stations of a subway line, cultural, ethnic and social background of the inhabitants can totally differ. Therefore, it's hard to describe what life generally looks like in this city.
With this book I pursue two different approaches to street-photography. The first catches fleeting moments, urban environment and the light that interests me. The second approach is more still, descriptive and displays more of a person's identity. Both are equally intuitive, but the second approach makes it possible to talk to strangers first so it becomes more of a portrait. The subtitle of the book "A Street-Photo-Ethnography in 10 Days" refers to my two different ways of photographing life in a city.
Christopher Mavrič was born in 1985 in Bruck a.d. Mur. He is currently based in Graz working as a freelance photographer. In 2008 he finished his studies in Information- and Communication Design at the University of Applied Sciences in Graz. During his studies he started to work as a photographer for magazines and newspapers, mainly focusing on reportage and portrait photography with a social and cultural interest. From 2009 to 2010 he attended Friedl Kubelka's School for Photography in Vienna. He likes to travel and has exhibited his street and portrait photography in Austria and Germany. For most of his work he prefers to shoot film and to make prints using alternative processes as lith-printing or liquid emulsions. Since January 2012 he teaches creative darkroom-technique at the Academy for Applied Photography in Graz.

NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital has a Center of Excellence for the treatment of digestive diseases. The Division of Digestive and Liver Diseases at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Medical Center and the Division of Gastroenterology & Hepatology at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center offer a comprehensive and coordinated approach to digestive disease care, and the programs, services, and centers here provide access to the latest developments in the field.
The physicians and surgeons at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital are highly skilled in the management of gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary, pancreatic, and nutritional disorders, and have extensive experiences in the use of groundbreaking therapies, such as endoscopic procedures, minimal access surgery, interventional radiology, and radiation oncology.
The Center of Excellence in Digestive Diseases provides key prevention and treatment programs for esophageal disorders, as well as specialized expertise in a range of gastric disorders, including abdominal malignancies, peptic ulcer disease, acid hypersecretory conditions, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, and gastrointestinal bleeding. The Hospital also has established a Center for Obesity Management and Surgery to help patients reach and maintain ideal body weight.
Disorders of the colon and rectum are another major focus of specialization at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital. The coordinated efforts of gastroenterologists and surgeons provide a wide range of diagnosis and treatment options for the whole spectrum of colorectal diseases, including irritable bowel syndrome, colon and rectal cancers, and inflammatory bowel disease. A center for basic research on the bowel and the enteric nervous system at NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia is providing important information for clinicians. NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell features a Center for Inflammatory Bowel Disease, as well as a data and tissue bank that facilitates advances in both basic and clinical research.
NewYork-Presbyterian's liver specialists and subspecialists provide multidisciplinary medical and/or surgical care, as well as a wealth of experience, to patients with liver disease and its complications. For example, patients with viral hepatitis, particularly hepatitis C, benefit greatly from the care and innovations offered at both of the Hospital's campuses. Other experts address primary biliary cirrhosis, portal hypertension, and liver tumors.
Additional significant programs in the Center of Excellence in Digestive Diseases include an anorectal disorders program that employs the latest in diagnostic imaging, multidisciplinary pancreatic and biliary disorders programs, a nutritional disorders program that features the Celiac Disease Center at NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia, and prevention programs at both NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia and NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell.

STATEHOUSE (Jan. 17, 2013) — State Sens. Travis Holdman (R-Markle) and Carlin Yoder (R-Middlebury) today announced the introduction of several bills to protect children and families involved with the Indiana Department of Child Services.
The policies advocated in these bills follow recommendations made by the General Assembly's Interim Study Committee on the Department of Child Services. Both Holdman and Yoder served on this committee.
"This past summer, committee members reviewed evidence and testimony regarding concerns that DCS was mismanaged," Holdman said. "We took this into careful consideration before making our recommendations for improvement, and now, we are prepared to introduce legislation to directly address these complaints."
Yoder and Holdman's bills would accomplish the following:
"This legislation wasn't about politics or party lines," Yoder said. "It was about finding solutions to protect Hoosier children. I look forward to discussing these proposals with all state legislators as we work to make Indiana a safer for place for our children."
All four bills have moved to the Committee on the Judiciary for further review.

This Tsunami 65lb heavy bag is a boxer's best friend. Designed to take a lot of punishment while promoting safe and healthy training, more and more boxing enthusiasts are choosing the Tsunami brand.
As opposed to traditional foam heavy bags, the water bag is able to absorb and disperse more impact without sending shock back into the body. Furthermore, for individuals who desire less sway, the water tends to rebound less than foam.
The 65lb bag is a good choice for older children, women, and individuals who want a lighter bag or who find sturdy heavy bags injurious.

The second option is purchasing a free stand. These steel constructed units can either be purposed solely for heavy bags, or involve multiple stations for different kinds of bags. It is recommended that users weight the bottom of the device to minimize shifting as the bag is struck and swung.
120 day return policy. If you're not 100% satisfied, send it back. read more

So where did the rumor come from? McDonald's gameful Twitterer replies: "There r a few McD's on the east coast that may serve it time 2 time-but we don't have any plans to roll out nationally." Oh, those lucky East Coasters!

Fox Not Disclosing News Corp.'s Interest In Defending Chick-Fil-A
Blog ››› ››› MIKE BURNS
Fox News is not disclosing its clear conflict of interest in defending Chick-fil-A against criticism over the fast-food restaurant's stance on marriage equality, as the controversy stands to benefit HarperCollins, a publishing company owned by Fox News' parent company, News Corporation.
Chick-fil-A president Dan Cathy set off a controversy when, during a July 16 interview, he said that his company supports "the biblical definition of the family unit." Cathy later said in a radio interview, "As it relates to society in general, I think we are inviting God's judgment on our nation when we shake our fist at him and say, 'We know better than you as to what constitutes a marriage.' "
Amid calls to boycott the company over the anti-marriage equality remarks, The Jim Henson Company, which created toys for Chick-fil-A, spoke out against the restaurant, writing on Facebook: "[W]e have notified Chick-Fil-A that we do not wish to partner with them on any future endeavors. Lisa Henson, our CEO is personally a strong supporter of gay marriage and has directed us to donate the payment we received from Chick-Fil-A to GLAAD." Chick-fil-A then announced it had pulled the Henson toys, citing safety concerns.
Following the split with The Jim Henson Company, Chick-fil-A replaced the toys with the children's books The Berenstain Bears. As reported by NBC News, a statement on the Berenstain company website "said the books' publisher, HarperCollins, has been working on this marketing project for more than a year." The statement read, in part:
The Berenstain family does not at this time have control over whether this program proceeds or not. We hope those concerned about this issue will direct their comments toward HarperCollins and Chick-fil-A.
While all this has been going on, Fox has been defending Chick-fil-A while not disclosing that it has an interest in doing so. Both Fox and HarperCollins, the publisher of the Berenstain Bears books, are subsidiaries of News Corporation. If the HarperCollins marketing project suffers as a result of a decline in sales brought about by the Chick-fil-A controversy, News Corp. stands to take a hit to its bottom line.
Last week, on the July 26 edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor, Fox contributor Laura Ingraham defended Chick-fil-A by falsely claiming that "the majority of Americans" oppose same-sex marriage. Neither Ingraham nor O'Reilly mentioned Fox's interest in defending Chick-fil-A.
On Fox News' On the Record yesterday, Fox contributor Sarah Palin said that calling for a Chick-fil-A boycott "has a chilling effect on our first amendment rights." Neither Palin nor host Greta Van Susteren disclosed Fox's interest in defending the restaurant.
Today, Fox & Friends co-host Gretchen Carlson suggested that opponents of Chick-fil-A's anti-marriage equality stance have "taken it a step too far," adding: "Just because the CEO said that he's in favor of traditional marriage doesn't mean that there's been any discrimination going on at any Chick-fil-As." Again, Fox's interest in defending Chick-fil-A was not mentioned.

Gum Diseases
Healing after gum graft surgery
I had my second of four gum graft surgeries. During this one the periodontist took connective tissue from the top palate roof of my mouth and sutured it to the bottom right gum to grow more tissue and heal recession. This time he sutured criss cross on the roof of my mouth. Well the connective tissue up there sloughed off with the packing and sutures, and now I have a gaping hole in the roof of my mouth about an inch long, a half an inch wide and a half an inch deep. Raw nerve endings are exposed sending both sharp, sore, and radiating pain into my eye socket, ears, and sinus areas. I am concerned about the gum graft on the bottom taking. And I am supposed to have two more of these surgeries to save my teeth and protect my health. The periodontist said this hasn`t happened with a patient in 15 years. Will my mouth heal? Will the hole close up? Am I being treated correctly? I am very upset over this ordeal. please respond, thank you.
Will my mouth heal?
Yes, your mouth will heal. The graft on the lower is not giving you any problems thus far. Connective tissue grafts have a very high success rate.
Will the hole close up?
Yes, the hole will close up. This is just a matter of time. The pain you are experiencing has to do with underlying connective tissue being exposed to the oral cavity and getting irritated by rubbing of the tongue and food.
You are right about your assumption. Once you pass 14 days post-operative, the superficial layer of the skin of the donor site will become thicker. You will start feeling much better once this happens. Usually, it takes between 6 to 8 weeks after the surgery for the depression on the tissue to fill up completely.
Continue to take the prescribed pain medications consistently according to the indications of the bottle. If they are over the counter, follow the directions on the label. Do not stop it if you start feeling better. Pain medication is more efficacious if taken continuously every certain number of hours. Do this until you pass day 14 post-operative.
Am I being treated correctly?
This is a relatively, not infrequent, "normal" complication, where the tissue sloughs. It has to do with the size of the graft that was taken. Every individual's healing pattern is different, and the same is true for the pain threshold.
However, one suggested approach is to fabricate a plastic vacuum form of your upper arch. This is a clear, thin plastic that snaps press-fit onto your teeth, and is trimmed to make sure that the palate is covered in its entirety. Thus, it will provide pressure to the donor site after the surgery, and avoid irritation from food and the tongue. You could consider this for the following surgeries. It will certainly have a positive effect.
One other consideration is to rule out the possibility of having a tooth with the nerve flaring up as the result of this procedure. Sometimes, if the roots of teeth in the vicinity of the donor site get exposed from the sloughing, the nerves could get irritated and shoot pain, very similar to what you have described. One last thing will be to rule out the presence of infection as well. If there is no infection present, the likelihood of a positive outcome is much greater.
Some recommendations:
- Go see your periodontist as soon as you can for a post-operative check. Ask if you could take stronger (prescription) pain medications to help with the pain.
- Use warm salt water rinses several times per day (about 4 to 6 times). This will help reduce the tissue swelling without disturbing the healing of both the grafted and the donor sites.
- In addition to the warm salt water, you could use hydrogen peroxide (1 part) dissolved in (3 parts) of warm water. Rinse with this 2 to 3 times a day. This will help to cleanse both sites of debris and dead cells.

Raman Spectroscopy of Bone and Cartilage: A Multidisciplinary Approach to Understanding Development, Function, and Disease
Michael Morris, University of Michigan
Friday, November 21, 2008, 3:30pm
Spanos Auditorium
This seminar is part of the Jones Seminars on Science, Technology, and Society series
We will briefly review the biology, structure and function of bone and cartilage and describe osteoporosis and osteoarthritis, two major disorders that can incapacitate their victims if left untreated. These diseases now cost the U.S. tens of billions of dollars annually. After a short introduction to the technology, we will show how Raman spectroscopy contributes to almost every aspect of study of musculoskeletal tissue structure, function and disease diagnosis. The contributions of spectroscopy and spectroscopists range from illuminating the mechanism by which bone is mineralized, through elucidation of the chemical changes accompanying exercise and aging to development of new non-invasive and minimally invasive diagnostics for bone and cartilage diseases. Throughout we will emphasize how progress in musculoskeletal tissue science and medicine requires teams of chemists, biologists, biomedical engineers and clinicians.

Overview of SmartArt graphics
A SmartArt graphic is a visual representation of your information and ideas. You can create SmartArt graphics by choosing from among many different layouts to quickly, easily, and effectively communicate your message.
Most people create content that contains only text, even though illustrations and graphics help audiences understand and recall information better than text. Creating designer-quality illustrations can be challenging, especially if you are not a professional designer or you cannot afford to hire a professional designer. If you use earlier versions of Microsoft Office, you can spend a lot of time making shapes the same size and aligning them properly, getting your text to look right, and manually formatting the shapes to match the document's overall style, instead of focusing on your content. With SmartArt graphics and other new features such as themes, you can create designer-quality illustrations with only a few clicks of your mouse.
You can create a SmartArt graphic in Microsoft Office Excel 2007, Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007, Microsoft Office Word 2007, or in an e-mail message in Microsoft Office Outlook 2007. Although you cannot create a SmartArt graphic in other 2007 Microsoft Office system programs, you can copy and paste SmartArt graphics as images into those programs.
Because Office PowerPoint 2007 presentations often contain slides with bulleted lists, you can quickly convert slide text to a SmartArt graphic. In addition, you can add animation to your SmartArt graphic in Office PowerPoint 2007 presentations.
When you create a SmartArt graphic, you are prompted to choose a type such as Process, Hierarchy, Cycle, or Relationship. A type is similar to a category of SmartArt graphic, and each type contains several different layouts.
Read more about creating a SmartArt graphic.
What to consider when choosing a layout
When you choose a layout for your SmartArt graphic, ask yourself what you want to convey and whether you want your information to appear a certain way. Because you can quickly and easily switch layouts, try different layouts (across types) until you find the one that best illustrates your message. Experiment with different types and layouts by using the table below as a starting point.
When you switch layouts, most of your text and other content, colors, styles, effects, and text formatting are automatically carried over to the new layout.
Note: The table below is intended to help you get started and is not an exhaustive list.
To do this
Use this type
Show nonsequential information.
Show steps in a process or timeline.
Show a continual process.
Create an organization chart.
Show a decision tree.
Illustrate connections.
Show how parts relate to a whole.
Show proportional relationships with the largest component on the top or bottom.
Also consider the amount of text that you have, because the amount of text and number of shapes that you need often determine the layout that will look the best. Do the details carry more weight than the summary points, or vice versa? In general, SmartArt graphics are most effective when the number of shapes and the amount of text are limited to key points. Larger amounts of text can distract from the visual appeal of your SmartArt graphic and make it harder to convey your message visually. However, some layouts, such as Trapezoid List in the List type, work well with larger amounts of text.
Some layouts for SmartArt graphics contain a limited number of shapes. For example, the Counterbalance Arrows layout in the Relationship type is designed to show two opposing ideas or concepts. Only two shapes can contain text, and the layout cannot be changed to display more ideas or concepts. If you choose a layout with a limited number of shapes, a red X appears in the text pane next to content that will not appear in your SmartArt graphic.
If you need to convey more than two ideas, switch to another layout that has more than two shapes for text, such as the Basic Pyramid layout in the Pyramid type. Keep in mind that changing layouts or types can alter the meaning of your information. For example, a layout with arrows pointing to the right, such as Basic Process in the Process type, has a different meaning from a SmartArt graphic with arrows going in a circle, such as Continuous Cycle in the Cycle type. Arrows tend to imply flow or progression in a certain direction, whereas a similar layout with connecting lines instead of arrows implies connections but not necessary flow.
If you cannot find the exact layout that you want, you can add and remove shapes in your SmartArt graphic to adjust the structure of the layout. For example, the Basic Process layout in the Process type appears with three shapes, but your process may need only two shapes, or it may need five shapes. As you add or remove shapes and edit your text, the arrangement of the shapes and the amount of text within those shapes is updated automatically — maintaining the original design and border of the layout for your SmartArt graphic.
When you select a layout, placeholder text (such as [Text]) appears. Placeholder text is not printed and does not appear during an Office PowerPoint 2007 presentation. You can replace the placeholder text with your own content. Note that the shapes that contain placeholder text are always displayed and printed, unless you delete them.
Tip: If you think your SmartArt graphic looks bland, switch to a different layout that contains subshapes, or apply a different SmartArt Style or color variation.
About the Text pane
The Text pane is the pane that you can use to enter and edit the text that appears in your SmartArt graphic. The Text pane appears to the left of your SmartArt graphic. As you add and edit your content in the Text pane, your SmartArt graphic is automatically updated — shapes are added or removed as needed.
When you create a SmartArt graphic, the SmartArt graphic and its Text pane are populated with placeholder text that you can replace with your information. At the top of the Text pane, you can edit the text that will appear in your SmartArt graphic. At the bottom of the Text pane, you can view additional information about the SmartArt graphic.
In SmartArt graphics that contain a fixed number of shapes, only some of the text in the Text pane appears in your SmartArt graphic. Text, pictures, or other content that is not displayed is identified in the Text pane with a red X. Content that is not displayed is still available if you switch to another layout, but if you keep and close this same layout, the information is not saved, to protect your privacy.
The Text pane works like an outline or a bulleted list that maps information directly to your SmartArt graphic. Each SmartArt graphic defines its own mapping between the bullets in the Text pane and the set of shapes in the SmartArt graphic.
To create a new line of bulleted text in the Text pane, press ENTER. To indent a line in the Text pane, select the line that you want to indent, and then under SmartArt Tools, on the Design tab, in the Create Graphic group, click Demote. To negatively indent a line, click Promote. You can also press TAB to indent or SHIFT+TAB to negatively indent from within the Text pane. Any of these manipulations updates the mapping between the bullets in the Text pane and the shapes in the layout for the SmartArt graphic. It is not possible to demote text more than one level from the text in the line above, nor can you demote the top level shape.
If you don't see the SmartArt Tools or Design tabs, make sure that you've selected a SmartArt graphic.
Note: Depending on the layout that you choose, each bullet in the Text pane is represented in the SmartArt graphic as either a new shape or a bullet inside a shape. For example, notice how the same text is mapped differently in the two SmartArt graphics below. In the first example, the sub-bullets are represented as separate shapes. In the second example, the sub-bullets are represented as bullets in the shape.
If you use an organization chart layout with an Assistant shape, a bullet with a line attached indicates the Assistant shape.
Tip: If you do not want all of your text in separate shapes, switch to a different layout that shows all of the text as bullets.
Although character formatting, such as font, font size, bold, italic, and underline, can be applied to text in the Text pane, character formatting is not displayed within the Text pane. However, all formatting changes are reflected in your SmartArt graphic.
When the font size in one shape shrinks because you add more text to the shape, all of the other text in the remaining shapes of the SmartArt graphic will also shrink to the same size to keep the SmartArt graphic looking consistent and professional. After you choose a layout, you can move your mouse pointer over any of the different layouts displayed on the Ribbon, which is a part of the Microsoft Office Fluent user interface, to see what your content will look like with that layout applied.
Style, color, and effects for SmartArt graphics
Under SmartArt Tools, on the Design tab, there are two galleries for quickly changing the look of your SmartArt graphic —SmartArt Styles and Change Colors. When you rest your pointer over a thumbnail in either of these galleries, you can see how a SmartArt Style or color variation affects your SmartArt graphic without actually applying it.
A quick and easy way to add a professionally designed combination of effects to your SmartArt graphic is to apply a SmartArt Style. SmartArt Styles include shape fills, edges, shadows, line styles, gradients, and three-dimensional (3-D) perspectives and are applied to the entire SmartArt graphic. You can also apply an individual Shape style to one or more shapes in your SmartArt graphic.
The second gallery, Change Colors, provides a range of different color options for a SmartArt graphic, each one applying one or more theme colors in a different way to the shapes in your SmartArt graphic.
SmartArt Styles and color combinations are designed to underscore your content.
For example, if you use a 3-D SmartArt Style with perspective, you can see everyone on the same level.
You can also use a 3-D SmartArt Style with perspective to emphasize a timeline that goes into the future.
Tip: 3-D SmartArt Styles, especially scene-coherent 3-D, can often distract from the message that you want to convey unless you use them sparingly. 3-D SmartArt Styles often work well for the first page of a document or the first slide of a presentation. Simpler 3-D effects, such as bevels, are not as distracting but should also be used sparingly.
To emphasize distinct steps in a SmartArt graphic of the Process type, you can use any of the combinations under Colorful.
If you have a SmartArt graphic of the Cycle type, you can use any of the Gradient Range - Accent n colors options to emphasize the circular movement. These colors move along a gradient to the middle shape and then reverse to the first shape.
When choosing colors, you should also consider whether you want your audience to print your SmartArt graphic or view it online. For example, the Primary Theme colors are meant for black and white printing.
Tip: Color combinations with Transparent in the name work best if you have a background slide with an image or another salient effect to show off a more refined design in your document.
When you insert a SmartArt graphic into your document, it will match the rest of the content in your document. If you change the theme of the document, the look of the SmartArt graphic is updated automatically.
If the built-in galleries are not enough to give you the look you want, almost all parts of a SmartArt graphic are customizable. If the SmartArt Style gallery does not have the right combination of fills, lines, and effects, you can apply an individual Shape style or fully customize the shape yourself. If the size and position of a shape are not the way you want them, you can move the shape around or resize it. You can find most of the customization options under SmartArt Tools on the Formatting tab.
Even after you customize your SmartArt graphic, you can change to a different layout, and most of your customizations will be kept. You can also click the Reset Graphic button on the Design tab to remove all of your formatting changes and start over.
You can change the look of your SmartArt graphic by changing the fill of its shape or text; by adding effects, such as shadows, reflections, glows, or soft edges; or by adding three-dimensional (3-D) effects, such as bevels or rotations.
Animation for SmartArt graphics
Note: Animation is available only for SmartArt graphics created by using Office PowerPoint 2007.
To provide additional emphasis or show your information in phases, you can add an animation to your SmartArt graphic or to an individual shape in your SmartArt graphic. For example, you can make a shape fly in quickly from one side of your screen or slowly fade in.
The animations that are available depend on the layout that you choose for your SmartArt graphic, but you can always animate all of the shapes at once or one shape at time.
For more information about adding an animation to a SmartArt graphic in an Office PowerPoint 2007 presentation, see Animate your SmartArt graphic.

dr julie rao 604-7109668 tcm acpuncture meditation and self hypnosis by albert tan ph.d amd dnm
Thursday, 6 July 2017 from 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM (PDT)
Event Details
In recent years, disciplines of the mind which center upon special mental conditions to achieve therapeutic gains have seen steady expansion. Hypnosis, self-hypnosis, and meditation are all associated with special mental states which facilitate positive personal changes and connect with higher dimensions of the psyche.
Medical hypnosis is increasingly recognized as a powerful healing modality with applications in all fields of medicine. It is utilized to modulate pain, temper side effects of medications, and to accelerate convalescence. Medical hypnosis has proven itself in its ability to prepare patients for surgery, special procedures, and childbirth, by neutralizing anxiety and by instilling affirmative healing imagery. Because of the fact that hypnosis allows the mind to penetrate into the far reaches of the autonomic nervous system, investigations are under way to determine its potential to positively influence the mechanisms of disease.
Self-hypnosis is a mental skill enabling the individual to self-guide into a trance. In this practice, instructions are self-administered in order to orient the mind into new experiences of awareness. In self-hypnosis, one part of the mind exercises its executive prerogatives to direct the mind's other dimensions to travel in self- suggested directions. Self-given affirmations progressively coax the mind to new levels of physical and mental relaxation.
Meditation is a term given to numerous practices designed to bring about harmonious control of the physical self and the mind. Most forms of meditation draw upon the process or relaxed focused attention. Meditative practices vary widely according to the discipline which spawned them. Focusing upon the flow of breathing in a context of active contemplation is a central meditative method.
Hypnosis, self-hypnosis, and meditation, all have the capacity to reach special states of the mind which center upon relaxation. Indeed, hypnosis may be called the most potent non-pharmacological relaxant known to science. However, relaxation in this context signifies more than the common notion of muscular repose. Relaxation may start at the level of the neuromuscular system, but moves inwardly to involve the autonomic nervous system, perception, cognition, the domain of emotions, and from there, the yet poorly charted highest realms of the psyche. Each of these dimensions of relaxation is accompanied be experiential changes which are delineated in the Scale.

Deal with Renewable Energy's Dirty Problem
Keep Wind and Solar PV Sags and Spikes from Tripping Grids
Windmills and solar photovoltaic (PV) systems are popping up—and popping the protection systems—on grids all around the world, frustrating owners and perplexing power companies. The installations are by the book, the SCADA systems say everything's running smoothly. So why won't the renewable energy sources stay online?
The problem has become increasingly apparent as we try to increase the percentage of wind and solar versus fossil-fueled generation, said Alan Langworthy, global business renewable energy integration manager, ABB, in his presentation, "Microgrids and Renewable Integration," this week at ABB Automation and Power World 2012 in Houston, Texas. "It's like the Goldilocks fairy tale," he says. "We don't want so little renewable power that we can't get a good return on our capital investment or so much that it causes a trip. We want just the right amount so we can make the best investment and get maximum returns."
The problem is the variable output of wind and solar PV, and not just because sometimes the wind doesn't blow and there's no sun at night. "A windmill can go from 100% to 20% output and back in three seconds," Langworthy says. "On a cloudy day, a PV array can go from 30% as a cloud passes over it to 130% as it catches full sun plus a reflection from the underside of another cloud. These rapid variations wreak havoc on grid-protection systems."
Windmill output can vary so rapidly because the blades are made light-weight and low-inertia so they can react to gusts within the prevailing winds. "They're designed to pump energy out of the air by taking advantage of gusts," Langworthy says. These variations are happening much too quickly to be caught by SCADA systems, which may be sampling as slowly as every 15 minutes.
Battery-energy storage systems are not well-suited to absorbing and discharging energy to stabilize these oscillations. Existing batteries are able to discharge fast enough, but absorb a charge more slowly, and this asymmetrical behavior makes it difficult to use them effectively. Plus it's really hard on them, Langworthy says, "It's essentially putting an AC current on the battery."
Langworthy's group solves the problem using flywheel-based energy storage units that introduce "synthetic inertia," and are able to absorb peaks and fill sags with a reaction time of five milliseconds, an order of magnitude faster than they occur. The inverter and flywheel units correct both real and reactive power fluctuations, controlling voltage and frequency to stabilize the grid and keep renewable units online and producing usable power.
The PowerStore flywheel/inverter units can be combined with ABB communications and control systems to fully integrate renewables. With full integration, the "Goldilocks" sweet spot can be expanded enormously, in some cases up to 100%. Langworthy described, among other examples, a diesel generator and solar microgrid for the town of Marble Bar in Australia. On sunny days, a 300-kW solar array with a 500-kW PowerStore unit can power the town with no diesel generators running—and no batteries.
Goldilocks would find that to be "just right."

World Rowing U-23 Championships
PHILADELPHIA - Rising junior Parker Lange and assistant coach Colin Farrell will join rising junior Jacques David in representing the University of Pennsylvania lightweights at the World Rowing U-23 Championships in Linz, Austria, July 24-28.
"It's very exciting to have multiple Penn lightweights over in Austria this summer,"said Farrell, who is making his third straight stint as the coach and sponsor of the lightweight men's 4- boat. "I think it speaks well to the ability of the athletes that we have here on our team. The level of racing at the Under-23 World Championships is definitely a step-up, and it's a great chance for Jacques and Parker to see that next level of speed and test their abilities against some of the best in the world."
Lange earned his spot on Team USA in the lightweight 4x boat, while David was selected to the Australian under-23 lightweight team in the lightweight 2- boat. Both were members of the Penn varsity boat throughout the 2013 season where the Quakers reached the IRA regatta for the first time in three years and finished seventh at EARC Sprints. With David in the four seat and Lange in the fifth seat at the national championships, the Red and Blue won the petite final and finished seventh in the nation. That matched Penn's best IRA finish since the program was third in 2005.
"It's always a huge honor to represent your country in your sport," said Farrell, who is making his third straight stint as the coach and sponsor of the lightweight men's 4- boat. "And that goes for both the athletes and the coaches. I was fortunate enough to row on the U.S. National Team and this is a way for me to give back to the team now as a coach."
Farrell, Lange and David will also be joined by two other Quakers at the World Under-23 Championships. Daren Frankel of the heavyweights and Jenna Hebert of the women's rowing team will also represent the University of Pennsylvania.

The tendency to lose focus on the subject/objective due to a "shiny object" (aka distraction) caused by focusing too much attention on something indirectly related to that subject/objective. It could be an uknown word, a confusing analogy, a new cliche phrase you've never heard before (aka "corporate talk"), etc.
While sitting in a business meeting listening intently and taking notes on the subjectmatter at hand, a word is mentioned during the discussion that you don't know the meaning of, and automatically you start focusing on that word trying to figure it out while the discussion continues. Eventually you realize you got distracted, but a shitload of information has already been discussed. Although you're able to recall the topic, all the details have zoomed by and all you can do is hope that no one asks for your opinion regarding those details that you missed. Any attempts to restart your notetaking or get back up to speed are futile since whatever notes you take now are unable to be connected with where you left off due to that "shiny object."

A SCRAP metal dealer, who threatened to shoot a witness if he gave evidence against him has been jailed for four years 10 months for handling stolen goods and theft.
Thomas Smith, 35, of Meadow Street, Great Harwood, pleaded guilty to stealing a £25,000 HGV from North Wales and handling a £350 Mercedes and a £15,000 blue Scania wagon.
He also pleaded guilty to witness intimidation at Preston Crown Court.
Smith was arrested after police raided his scrapyard on Decem-ber 14 last year and discovered the Mercedes and the Scania wagon, which had been stolen from Derbyshire and West Yorkshire.
During the investigation, Smith intimidated one of the main witnesses in the case, arranging for him to receive several threatening phone calls.
On October 3, Smith visited the man at his work in Derbyshire where he threatened to shoot him and his family if he attended court to give evidence. He was arrested and remanded into custody.
DS Ian Proctor from Acc-rington CID said: "The sentence not only reflects the extent of his offending but also the impact his campaign of intimidation had against a principal witness, which made this whole case infinitely more serious.
"I would like to thank the witnesses involved for their courage in attending going to court to give evidence.
"The impact of his behaviour has had a profound effect on a number of victims, who not only have suffered serious financial loss but has also impacted on their normal family life.
"I hope this case acts as a warning to offenders who think they are above the law. The police will relentlessly pursue those who are involved in crime and we will do everything in our power to target them and bring them to justice."
A further two men, 28-year-old Shaun Smith, from Oswald Street, Accrington and 51-year-old Alfred Kyme, from Black-wood Road, Bacup, will be sentenced on February 1. Smith pleaded guilty to theft and Kyme pleaded guilty to perverting the course of justice.

Oh Mighty Wing
Where did you see that? I must have missed something obvious on that page.
Lazy idiot
Tick tock
Trolling for cool points again, Casa?
No, actually I wasn't! Pretty surprising, I know.
I could surely use some after this week though.
when did that get there???
I swear it wasn't there when that post first went up! otherwise I wouldn't have had to google to answer Casa's question!
I honestly wasn't trolliing for points. I didn't see that other link either.
Just wondering if I need a heart rate monitor anyway.
Need and want are not always mutual, I've found.

I picked up some nice English-cut short ribs and after going through Ribs, Ribs, Ribs. I decided to try the recipe called "Grandpa's Barbecued Pastramied Short Ribs".
It starts with a wet rub that includes anise, which is why I asked the question about anise substitutes a few days ago. In this case I decided to use a liquid extract.
The ribs were good and meaty so I was able to use a lot of rub. Of course, being short ribs they were also good and fatty.
The ribs can be either grilled indirect or smoked, and I chose to do the former with Royal Oak briquettes and a little oak in the 22" Weber kettle. They developed a very nice crust and the fat is pretty obvious.
I didn't get as much of a smoke ring as I thought I might but the meat came out pretty tender and really does have a pastrami-like flavor. I would definitely make these again!

Q & A — July 2004
By Capt. Ken Kreisler
It's Good to Vent
Tries... Yacht Brite Buff Magic
Quite often boat exteriors are a combat zone of dirt, grime, and grit stains that result in dulling oxidation. While it often seems that all these nefarious attackers gang up on us en masse, I've found a cleaning aid that promises to level the field of battle.
Yacht Brite's Buff Magic is a nonabrasive fiberglass and gelcoat reconditioning and deoxidizing cream that can be buffed out by machine or hand. I sent out several 22-ounce cans of the product to our testers—including our own Capt. Patrick Sciacca—and received positive feedback.
Sciacca used Buff Magic on his 31-foot Ocean Master while preparing her for launching after being on the hard all winter. He reports that it is easy to apply and removes black streaks and other stains that accumulated during layover.
Yacht Brite also recommends Buff Magic for polishing metal and to remove scratches on Plexiglas and isinglass.
Buff Magic is available from several vendors, including Bass Pro Shops, Overtons, and Defender. A 22-ounce can retails for around $20 and is enough to buff out a 40-foot boat. You can also order it directly at www.yachtbrite.com or call Yacht Brite at (800) 643-2316. —K.K.

GETTING lost in a good novel was just what the doctor ordered as the Great Western Hospital launched its new fiction collection to mark World Book Night.
Staff were invited to browse the hospital library's newest offerings yesterday, and flick through the pages of the latest bestsellers while enjoying a hot drink and slice of cake.
GWH also gave away 85 volumes donated by the Reading Agency as part of its World Book Night celebrations – a gift greeted by its most avid readers.
Although very few are aware of the hospital's book service in the community, the library is an essential research hub with the latest medical textbooks and journals available to doctors, nurses and students.
The fiction collection, which already counts 230 books, all donated by employees, will allow workers from administration staff to consultants a welcome break from their high-pressured jobs.
"Before this we were about research and management study but other medical libraries have introduced a fiction section to allow staff to borrow books for pleasure so we thought we would do the same and launch for World Book Night, which is about encouraging adults to read for pleasure," said head librarian Sam Burgess, one of four library staff.
"In just one hour we had six people register to the library. The new collection has made an impact already.
"It is about staff's wellbeing and about them taking time to switch off. It's important when you work in a high pressure environment."
To encourage staff to broaden their literary horizons, the library invited them to borrow one of its mystery reads – novels wrapped to cover their titles – and surprise themselves with something they might not normally have picked.
Maxine Buyanga, matron for trauma and orthopaedics services, was one of the first to select one of the mystery books – Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro.
"I am always at the library doing my work or some research," she said. "There is a lot of formal reading involved in my type of work and it's nice to be able to get a novel at the library, relax and read something easy and not so taxing mentally."
Kay Doyle, bank administrator at GWH, was also at the launch of the collection.
"Having a fiction section here will be much more of a draw," she said. "I used the local library but because of the opening times it was not always possible for me to get there in time. So this is ideal, really."

South Africa shines in Condé Nast Traveler awards
We are very proud of this acknowledgement and would like to thank the readers of Condé Nast Traveler for their continued support of our beautiful hotel and spa which offers a nurturing, soothing haven to all who come here. - Horst Frehse, General Manager of The Twelve Apostles Hotel and Spa.
The prestigious publication Condé Nast Traveler has just released the results of its 2012 Readers' Choice Awards, and South Africa has much to boast about.
Among the World's 10 Top Cities, Cape Town features 2nd, runner-up to the American city of Charleston, yet ahead of the Italian city of Florence. It stands to reason then, that Cape Town also takes the top slot in the Top 5 Cities in Africa poll, with Knysna on its tail in 2nd place.
Sabi Sabi Private Game Reserve has taken 6th position in the Top 10 Hotels and Resorts in the World, with a score of 98.3. South African game lodges feature prominently in the Top 100 in this category, with Singita Kruger National Park at 14th post, Singita Sabi Sand at 32nd, Lion Sands and Londolozi in the Sabi Sands sharing 37th and Mala Mala at 70th.
Two Cape Town hotels are also listed here, The Twelve Apostles Hotel and Spa at 47th and the Steenberg Hotel in Constantia at 94th. The Steenberg Hotel also topped the Readers' Choice for Top 20 Foreign Golf Resorts.
In the Top 15 Hotels in Africa list, South African properties dominate. They are the Twelve Apostles Hotel and Spa (1st), the Cape Grace (2nd), The Table Bay Hotel (4th), the Victoria and Alfred Hotel (5th) and the Mount Nelson (8th), all in Cape Town, as well as Johannesburg's Saxon Hotel (6th) and Michelangelo Hotel (13th).
All the exclusive safari lodges mentioned above have a place in the Top 25 Resorts and Safari Camps in Africa poll, with the addition of Le Quartier Francais in Franschhoek and The Palace of the Lost City in Sun City.
General manager of The Twelve Apostles Hotel and Spa, Horst Frehse, says, 'We are very proud of this acknowledgement and would like to thank the readers of Condé Nast Traveler for their continued support of our beautiful hotel and spa which offers a nurturing, soothing haven to all who come here.'
This year's survey reflects the combined opinions of 46,476 Condé Nast Traveler readers rating the places and hotels they visited in the past year.

A man in his 40s was taken to hospital on Saturday night with a neck injury after walking into the Monkey Puzzle pub in Chessington with a slit throat.
Terrified diners and drinkers, including families and children, 'froze' when they saw the bloody man walk into the packed pub and ask for help.
The manager of the Monkey Puzzle, a Beefeater Grill pub next to a Premier Inn, declined to comment on the claim, referring calls to Frank PR.
A spokesman for Whitbread, which owns the pub, said: "We are aware of an incident that took place at the Monkey Puzzle Beefeater site on Saturday evening.
"None of our guests were harmed. We are unable to make any further comment at this time."
A spokesman for London Ambulance said: "We were called at 7.30pm to an incident on the Leatherhead Road and we sent one ambulance crew to the scene.
"We treated a man reported to be in his 40s for a neck injury and he was taken to St George's Hospital as a priority."
