JOIN MICELLA PHOENIX DeWHYSE--GRAD STUDENT EXTRAORDINAIRE--AS SHE MAKES HER WAY THROUGH GRAD SCHOOL IN MATERIALS SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING
For those of you that have not been following along with the saga that is my life in graduate school: Last month I talked about my adviser, Jeff, and the bruises he suffered as a result of an abrupt departure by one of my labmates. I think that one reason she chose to leave is that she apparently hated her project; to my knowledge, she chose not to tell my adviser this. This leads me to my diatribe for this month:
Why is it that we, as scientists, are taught that communication of our science is essential for success, but somehow communication with others, for general well-being and harmony, is left in the dust?
I mean, think about it: We've all seen seminars on how to write effectively, how to present effectively, but rarely do we see anything geared toward educators and the educated on how to communicate effectively in a nonscientific context and how to relate to one another. And I believe that lots of the conflict that we experience, in lab and in life, happens because we simply have not learned how to communicate.
When I say "communicate," I mean a variety of things. First of all, to me, communicating effectively involves more than just talking. It also includes listening. Further, it involves body language, tone, inflection, motive, perspective, culture, and a whole host of other things that most people just don't take into account when conversing. Have you ever thought for a minute that everyone doesn't operate the same way you do?
That's a novel concept for some of us. Different people interpret these things in different ways. The same sentence said to three different people will be heard to have three different meanings, even if the inflection and body language are the same. The person who knows the speaker best will probably come closest to understanding what the speaker is trying to say.
This is why PIs need to get to know their students outside of the lab and understand what kind of backgrounds they are coming from. PIs just might want to know what kind of behaviors their students normally exhibit--outgoing versus shy, rambunctious versus calm, angry and bitter versus sublimely happy (if that even exists)--and how to respond appropriately.
Nothing about your students can be assumed; I repeat, nothing. Do you know who has siblings and who doesn't? Where their parents live? If they like the candy you keep on your desk? If they are diabetic? Don't assume that a person of color, for example, grew up in an environment with less money than average or that her parents didn't go to college. Don't assume that just because someone is nodding he understands and agrees with everything you've said; he might come from a culture where disagreeing with an authority figure--yes, that's you--is considered bad manners; or maybe he's just shy or is trying to impress you. Don't assume that because a student is female that she wants to have children someday or that she doesn't. Don't even assume that she's made up her mind yet. Don't assume that just because someone came from a less prestigious school that they have less experience or intelligence.
I know this all seems like common sense to some of you, but you'd be amazed how often we scientists put other scientists and engineers into a box and assume that they will conform to the image we have of them. I think we all do it, unless we work at not doing it. If they don't conform to your image, and they're not comfortable fitting into the box, why would they stick around?
It's not always the listener's fault. Like a lot of people, sometimes I fail to say what's on my mind; when something is wrong, someone says something that offends me, or I disagree with something someone says, I keep my mouth shut and my anger or hurt inside. Or I may open it--my mouth--up too wide and overreact. Either way, the result is likely to be bruised egos and misunderstandings, neither of which helps improve communication.
As scientists, we tend to pretend that needs, wants, emotions, relationships, ego, and so on, don't matter--it's all about the science, right?--when in reality they can be a large factor in the political games we play, just like everyone else does. We want to think that it's about working with the purity of the subject, increasing knowledge, and solving the world's problems. Yet the more successful particular scientists are and the more clout they have, the more likely it is that they can do as they please, run over people, and make lives hellish with little or no regard for consequences.
For those who wonder why there aren't more people interested in science, or why more people don't stay in it to become professors: Have you ever thought about how elitist, isolated, and obnoxious some of you--um, I mean your colleagues--can be? People don't leave because they can't cut it; they leave because they find some other place that welcomes them, lets them express themselves, and rewards them according to their merits.
Back to this communication thing: We all, students and PIs, must learn to do it better. If we could step outside of ourselves for a moment and truly listen to the things we say, and think about how we are perceived, and have a decent dialogue with others about such a thing, that would be a step in the right direction. For those of you thinking "I'm fine just how I am," think for a minute about your interactions and relationships. Are they strained? Do you think this is because everyone is against you? Are you always right? If people really upset you, do you tell them why? Or do you just stop talking to them?
Maybe I'm completely off my rocker here, but I believe in a sort of karma: The universe will give you back what you expect and what you put out. Yes, graduate school, and life in general, are hard, and sometimes we all want to quit. Have you checked your state of mind lately? If it's all bad, and you have absolutely no joy ... are you spending any time looking for it?
Enough of my diatribe. Next time: concrete ways to improve communication with each other, as people and as scientists.
If you have examples of how effective communication, or lack of it, improved or ruined your life in the lab, feel free to share, and I'll pass it on. Until then, let's all think about what we say and how we say it. And smile, daggumit! It doesn't hurt. ...

TUESDAY, Dec. 6 (HealthDay News) -- Presentation of a psychiatric episode in the postpartum period predicts subsequent conversion to bipolar affective disorder, according to a study published online Dec. 5 in the Archives of General Psychiatry.
Trine Munk-Olsen, Ph.D., from Aarhus University in Denmark, and colleagues assessed the extent to which psychiatric disorders with postpartum onset are early indications of bipolar affective disorder. Data from 120,378 women with a first time psychiatric inpatient or outpatient contact with any kind of mental disorder, other than bipolar affective disorder, were assessed. All women were followed up individually from the day of discharge to the first-time diagnosis of bipolar affective disorder.
The investigators identified 3,062 women who were readmitted or experienced an outpatient contact with bipolar affective disorder diagnoses. Postpartum symptom onset, within zero to 14 days of delivery, significantly predicted subsequent conversion to bipolar disorder (relative risk [RR], 4.26). Compared with women with a first psychiatric contact not related to childbirth, more women with first-time psychiatric contacts during the first postpartum month converted to bipolar diagnosis within the 15-year follow-up period (approximately 14 and 4 percent, respectively). Higher conversion rates to bipolar disorder were associated with postpartum inpatient admissions versus outpatient contacts (RR, 2.16).
"A psychiatric episode in the immediate postpartum period significantly predicted conversion to bipolar affective disorder during the follow-up period," the authors write.

Then I thought "Blind packs are such a shit idea that makes you spend more money if you want a particular figure but maybe I can fondle the pack and maybe make an educated guess."
Then I looked at the pictures and thought "Crap, they're in eggs so I can't do that."
Then I looked at the toys and though "Apart from OP they're all utter rubish so I won't bother."
They'll probably be all Bumblebee's anyway.

I got a bag of the Japanese ones from BBTS Prime is the best Bee is a distant second and the rest are, ok. Wave 2 really looks better. I think most of my issues come from the fact that most of the microns stay in weapon mode due to friction and nothing else.

I like my chainsaw-cat, my drill-bull and my cleaver-bird much more than any of these capsule toys. though, yes, I have only had wave 1. have liked the look of some of the ones in the newer waves, and for £2.50 a pop I'll try them out, but...I'd really much rather Hasbro released the AMWs and/or the kits that comes with the AM Prime toys.

Indeed, Breakdown's micron is pretty great. But it's really just wave 1 of these that's really lackluster, the rest of them look pretty great. I mean, they aren't perfect, Megatron's looks a bit derpy, but then you have standouts like Bulkhead Knuckle, the Minigun Dragonfly, and the Starscreamarang looks like it'll be nice.

San Antonio, Texas (Nov. 15)
A recent attempt by the Ministerial Association of this city to introduce religious training in connection with the school curriculum of San Antonio has been defeated and the Ministerial Association will not pursue its efforts in this direction any further. Among those who opposed the plan was Rabbi Ephraim Frisch of Temple Beth-el. Editorials in local newspapers also denounced the plan.
The committee of the Ministerial Association, of which the Rev. Rolfe P. Crum of St. Mark's Episcopal Church is the chairman, proposed to Superintendent of Schools Hartley that school children take one hour of religious training during the week in a neighborhood church and that credit for the term's work be granted by the public schools. It was planned to make the religious courses voluntary and to provide a course in art appreciation for those children who did not care to take the religious course.
In opposing the plan, Rabbi Frisch stated in an interview in the San Antonio Evening News:
"This proposal is but another attempt at the regulation by the strong arm of the state of the private conduct and beliefs of our citizens. Such endeavors have been made thousands of times before and have always been looked upon as they should be, as acts of tyranny and misguided zeal, since they violate the justly cherished American principle of freedom of conscience and the separation of church and state."
The plan was also opposed by the Baptist churches of this city.

Cody Horton, the recruiter, asked a little about my current compensation (stock, base, bonus, etc.) and said they would get back to me early the following week. This is positive because it seems to indicate that they are going to make an effort to actually entice me rather than give me a take it or leave it offer.

Appeasement has not worked in the past, and I see no reason to believe that it will work in this case.

Plan it out better?!? Call the local battered women's shelter and tell those women that they should have planned it out better. I'm sure that will go over well.

I believe in responsible gun ownership, too, but I'm not willing to concede more ground in the 2A realm. As the law stands, it's illegal for me to sell a firearm to anyone when I "know or have reasonable cause to believe" that their possession of same would be illegal. I think that's enough.

We've covered that. Your unwillingness to comprehend it notwithstanding, the short answer is that delaying a right is temporarily denying a right.

Yes, and it's used in a NICS check, which is a deciding process.

Constitutional rights are rarely convenient, either for the citizen or the government. So?
As for passports, like I said, it's been some time since I traveled out of the country. Perhaps they've changed the procedures since I last traveled abroad (~7 years ago), but I cannot recall having ever had my passport checked on the way out of the USA. The operative phrase here may be: "cannot recall."

GWAR bandmember Cody Smoot, the guitarist better known as of Flattus Maximus, was found dead of unknown causes Thursday morning, according to multiple sources.
As the six-stringer in the theatrical Richmond metal band Gwar, Smoot performed with the band last night in Minneapolis, and there were no signs of trouble prior to this morning's discovery.
In a statement, Gwar's Dave Brockie wrote this:
It is with a sense of profound loss and tragedy that the members of GWAR must announce the passing of their long time guitarist and beloved friend Cory Smoot, also known to thousands of metal fans worldwide as Flattus Maximus. Cory was found deceased this morning as the band prepared for a border crossing. There is no word as to the cause of death and the members of GWAR are completely shocked and devastated that this has occurred. At this point there is no word on arrangements and the disposition of the remainder of GWAR's current North American tour, nor are there any details regarding long term plans. At this point we are just dealing with the loss of our dear friend and brother, one of the most talented guitar players in metal today. We ask that our fans and the media be respectful of our request for privacy for those that have suffered this terrible loss. A full statement will be coming in the next day or so, in the meantime please give your thoughts and your prayers to Cory, his family, and all the people that love him.
Smoot joined the costumed band in 2002 and also co-produced their 2006 album Beyond Hell, as well as its follow-up Lust In Space. He was the longest serving member to portray the Flattus Maximus character in the band's history.

2014 Chrysler Town & Country ReviewThis car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.
Chrysler puts a luxurious spin on the minivan with the Town & Country. Innovative seating and upscale features inside and out set this van apart from the competition. The most important feature, both from a usability stand-point and competitive stand-point, is that this van features Stow'n Go seats. The second and third-row seats can be folded into the floor. No more fumbling to release and remove awkward heavy seats and then try to find a suitable place to store them. Combine this with Chryslers new seat trim that repels all but the most caustic stains, and you have a truly family-friendly vehicle. A 3.6-liter V6 sends power through a six-speed automatic transmission to the front wheels. All trims come equipped with features such as a tilt and telescoping steering column, remote keyless entry, steering wheel mounted audio controls and a tire pressure monitor. Available features include Smartbeam headlamps, a navigation system, power sliding doors, remote start and satellite radio. The Town & Country is a carry over for 2014.

Maroc Telecom plans to introduce a prepaid telephone card in early May, the Moroccan Daily L'Economiste reported last week.
The new phone card, 'Kalimat,' will be compatible for use on regular telphones, as well as on public and mobile phones. Designed as a scratch card, the tariffs imposed on using the card will be charged according to current prices. Special rates will be offered for international calls, with attractive rates also to be offered on the GSM de Maroc Telecom System. The prepaid phone card has enjoyed great success in a number of countries. Kalimat will be available in kiosks and tobacco outlets throughout the Kingdom.
Maroc Telecom hopes that the new card will cause customers to keep using the regular phone system, by providing the user with a more efficient manner to track usage expenses. Senior executives of Maroc Telecom announced that generic fixed phone cards are becoming increasingly unprofitable, since two-thirds of the company's customers do not exceed MD100 in usage fees.

Hmmm..Florence…è così così.
Maybe it's my fault for expecting more of a nutella taste, but lately things that have strong nutty flavors are not my friends. For me, the hazelnut is just overpowering everything and I am not really a fan.
It's just not chocolatey enough for me because the hazelnut just lingers far too long with each sip. Oh well. Maybe tinkering around with steeping it will produce a better result in the future. Thanks for giving me some to try, cheetah_pita!

Am I missing something?
I saw these Jeti AFC Anti-Spark Connectors on
Why do I need to buy the Jeti female AFC connector with every set?
If the female AFC connector is the only active component then surely I need one in the model for the battery connectors and possibly another for the lead to my charger and all the other connectors on my batteries can be regular connectors?
Is it just cheaper to market a set of connectors and include one AFC female in every set rather than dealers stocking the AFC females as one item and the regular Jeti male/female connectors as another item?
If anyone has experience of these connectors can they advise if the female AFC connector is only compatible with other connectors in the Jeti set or will they match any other brand of 4mm gold plated connectors?

RECIPES: Recipe Details
FRIED GREEN TOMATO BURGER With LEMON CHIPOTLE MAYONNAISE And BLACK PEPPER BACON –"MISSOURI" STYLE
I was born in the "Show Me State" and spent 20 plus years in Missouri before moving. Missouri is hot and humid in the summer and I remember the great BBQs we had with neighbors. I created my Fried Green Tomato Burger with Lemon Chipotle Mayonnaise and Black Pepper Bacon – "Missouri" Style to represent my childhood memories of summer time in Missouri. The Lemon Chipotle Mayonnaise reminds me of the hot humid summers that could only be cooled down with fresh squeezed lemonade. The fried green tomatoes, is a southern "thingy" that you grow up with dipping in an herb mayonnaise sauce. In the Midwest, we like everything fried. All Missourians like thick black pepper bacon fresh from the farm. Since I am from the Show Me State, I hope my Fried Green Tomato Burger Burger with Lemon Chipotle Mayonnaise and Black Pepper Bacon – "Missouri" Style, will show you the country side of down home cooking. My burger is the hometown "American Burger !"
Lemon Chipotle Mayonnaise:
1 cup Mayonnaise
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1 tsp ground Chipotle Chilis Spice
½ tsp brown sugar
1 tsp Lemon Juice, freshly squeeze
¼ tsp Lemon zest
Green Tomato Breading:
1 cup Italian Style Bread Crumbs
1/3 cup Flour
2 T Fresh Basil, finely chopped
1/4 tsp Kosher Salt
¼ tsp Fresh ground black pepper
2 T butter
1/3 cup Colavita Extra Virgin Olive oil
18 (1/4 inch thick) slices green tomato (about 4 medium green tomatoes)
2 large eggs, beaten
12 slices thick cut black pepper bacon
2 lbs ground chuck
2 tsp Kosher salt
½ tsp freshly ground pepper
Colavita Extra Virgin Olive oil, for brushing the grill rack and buns
6 Keiser roll buns, split
12 Red leaf lettuce leaves
Preheat your gas grill to high. Place a large cast iron skillet on the rack..
To make Lemon Chipotle Mayonnaise, whisk in a small bowl the mayonnaise,
Chipotle chilis spice, brown sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Mix well together until smooth. Set aside in a refrigerator.
To make Green Tomato Breading, mix in a small bowl the Italian bread crumbs, flour,
basil, kosher salt and pepper. Mix together until the ingredients are incorporated. Set aside.
To cook the bacon, Place the bacon in preheated cast iron skillet. Cook the bacon until crisp about 7 minutes a side. Remove the bacon and drain on a paper towels. Set the bacon to the side and let cool to room temperature. Remove the bacon grease from the skillet.
To fry the green tomatoes, using the same hot bacon skillet add 2 tablespoon butter, and 1/3 cup olive oil. Heat the oil mixture until hot. Dip the tomato slices in the beaten eggs, then dredge tomato slices in the breading mixture. Fry the tomato slices 2 minutes on each side or until lightly brown. Remove the green tomatoes and drain on a paper towels. Repeat until all 18 slices have been fried. Set the tomatoes aside and remove the skillet from the grill.
To prepare the patties, gently combine the chuck, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Gently mix together using your hands. Divide into 6 equal parts and form into patties.
Brush the grill rack with olive oil. Place the patties on the grill and cover and cook for 5 minutes. Turn the patties, and continue cooking for another 5 minutes. Brush the buns with olive oil and place the buns, cut side down, on the outer edges of the rack to toast lightly during the last 2 minutes of grilling.
To assemble the burger, slather the top and bottom buns with the Lemon Chipotle
Mayonnaise. Place 2 lettuce leaves on each bottom bun and add the patty. Next add 3
fried green tomato slices and 2 bacon slices on top of each patty. Add the bun top with wooden skewers and serve.
Makes 6 burgers
I sent a previous recipe with an error in it so I am resending. Sorry.

Do any of you use the ProClick binding machine? How do you like it and do you find that you use it enough to justify the cost?
Yes. Love it. Use it ALL.THE.TIME.
Lesley LetsonParticipant
yep, have it, love it, glad I got it 🙂
I think it's been asked before, but just curious…what do you all use it for??
I have been wanting one also. Hmmm. binding machine envy here… LOL..
I have been wanting it for binding my kids papers together that they finish at the end of the year or sememster. I also would like it for journals. Ones they write and nature type. I also want one for my garden planning, record keeping, school scheduling, recipes, Things I find on the internet, ect…
I bind my kids copywork books at the beginning of the year. I buy them through currclick. I also bind a math book I make for htem that goes along with our curriculum: Math on the Level.
I would love some type of binder. I always go to FedEx office. Costs me $15 for each book. YIKES!
Could anyone post a link to the exact model you have? Anyone know the maximum # of pages you can bind?
I might be able to ask for this for Christmas from parents and in-laws. They treat us well with gifts and will combine for a larger item. Hmmmm
Here is a post I did in 2010 about mine.
I love it, it works, and you can bind any number of pages you can get coil for. The Proclick uses snap closed spines in limited sizes BUT you can but spiral coil in just about any size that works with the Proclick (it's called 3:1 pitch, has 3 holes per inch instead of the standard 4 per inch). Be sure to read the comments on that post because I explain more on page count etc. The spiral coil is super cheap compared to the click spines by the way, so that is what I use all the time.
Oh, and be sure to get on the mailing list for MyBinding.com because they always run specials and coupons, especially as the holidays come around.
Also , If you can tell us, does your model take both the comb and spiral binding? Or is it just one kind you can use??? Also, are you happy with the kind you got or do you want a better model? I would like to buy the right one the first time. This way I am done with my binder envy. 🙂
Thanks bunches to all of you in advance who answer, Because, I have been wanting one for a long time. I just am not sure which one to buy, for the best price.
I bought my Proclick P50 from Amazon and my spines and covers through mybinding.com. I was able to get my navy 1/2 inch spines (holds 100 sheets of paper) for $10 per 100 earlier this year…so I made the jump to proclick. Now that I have been using it for everything, I think the regular priced spines ($30-50) would be worth it now too. Remember that these spines open allowing you to add pages to notebooks and to reuse the spines. The proclick punch works with 3:1 pitch spiral coil spines as well. Basically, it punches about 4-6 sheets at a time and then you manually insert the spines. A zipper tool to open and close the proclick spines comes in a box of spines.
I buy card stock through Costco to bind together for our nature notebooks.
We use our proclick notebooks like a workbox system. Every subject gets a notebook. I can fit four cardboard magazine files (for storing the notebooks upright) in a large cardboard storage file box to make the children's school boxes. As the children complete notebooks, I plan on storing them in file boxes out of the way (garage). We use binders rarely now which has saved us from crowded bookshelves.
The ProClick P50 actually doesn't hold any binding, it does the hole punching for you. Then you lay the pages into the proclick spines and click them shut or you stack the pages and spin the spiral coil into it beginning at the bottom or top hole and working through them all. If you're using the spiral coil you'll also want a pair of needlenose pliers and wire snips or strong scissors. You cut off the excess coil (it usually is about 12 inches long) and use the needlenose pliers to twist the end of the coil in on itself so it' forms a knot of sorts and won't just slide through the holes. (Look at any spiral bound books to get an idea of what I mean). The thing I love is I can personalize sizes for things. I can cut coil into a little 3″ notebook spine for little hands or bind something as big as 12″ paper with the same coil.
Thanks so much ladies. Now for the final decision. 🙂
Oh, what size spines do you find you use the most of and do you use plastic cover sheets at all?
Well, I was blessed this summer to discover the large spines on sale for $10/100…so I picked up 500 spines for cheap. (BTW, the sale may have been a mistake because it lasted only a day or two after I made my purchase.) I prefer the large spines because you can add a lot. Thinner notebooks look fine in large spines. I used plastic covers, but I now use only plain card stock covers for basic notebooks and laminated card stock for our nicer notebooks (nature and personal journals, special projects).
Also, I prefer to use these clipart websites to make cute covers:
I love my proclick as well, though sometimes the bindings don't stay shut. One even lost a tooth and it has barely been used. You can see my tutorial/review at http://www.journeythroughlove.blogspot.com
@janell, thanks for those links! Adding to my Pinterest page.
@ourjourney, thanks for your review as well.

Don't just count the number of slotsin the back of the case, as sometimes the slots are blank as the motherboard is not the same size of the case. At least one slot in the motherboard also if you don't have a separate graphics card - relying on onboard graphics, then at least one of those slots will probably be a AGP slot also - usually the first slot in the motherboard from the top.

WORK and pensions secretary Iain Duncan Smith called for more school leavers to consider a career in manufacturing and engineering during a visit to Delphi Diesel Systems in Stonehouse on Friday (January 31).
Accompanied by Stroud MP Neil Carmichael, the former Conservative Party leader was given a tour of the site which acts as Delphi's global headquarters for its heavy duty business.
The secretary of state met with apprentices and graduate engineers, and was also shown the production lines where Delphi assembles the world leading fuel injection systems which it supplies to the three biggest lorry companies in Europe.
Among those introduced to Mr Duncan Smith from Delphi's 1,000 strong workforce were graduate engineers Peter Bonnington and James Lee, and the firm's 2013 apprentice of the year Kenny Collins.
Mr Duncan Smith, who lead his party in opposition for two years between 2001 and 2003 and came to be known as 'the quiet man', said it had been 'excellent' to meet Delphi's young employees and learn all about their 'really positive experiences' of working in the high-tech industry.
The senior Tory politician and architect of the Government's controversial welfare reforms, said the Coalition was focused on trying to create more apprenticeship opportunities for young people and was working hard to reform schools to ensure that pupils had the skills businesses required.
Speaking exclusively to the SNJ, he said: "One of the big things that the Government has been emphasising in the last three and a half years is the need to increase manufacturing and the number of engineers to help rebalance the economy. We want to manufacture more and export more.
"I have come here today to visit a company based in Stroud which is doing exactly that. It is a big success story for the area and support for companies like this one is an essential part of our growth strategy."
Mr Duncan Smith said the Government was helping companies like Delphi by cutting corporation tax, removing unnecessary regulations and reducing the burden of taxation on smaller businesses which form part of its supply chain.
But he also urged businesses 'sitting on large cash piles' to do more themselves by investing to create jobs and boost economic growth.
"As businesses start to feel more certain about the future they need to begin to invest and the banks also now need to be stepping up to the mark and supplying them with credit," he said.
The work and pensions secretary also praised Stroud's MP for doing his bit to promote British industry by hosting the annual Festival of Manufacturing and Engineering.
Returning the compliment from his Conservative colleague, Mr Carmichael said it was 'great' that Mr Duncan Smith had been able to spare time to visit and added: "It is really important that we get young people starting to think about engineering as a career and we also need a culture change in our schools to ensure that happens.
"We need to make sure schools understand what businesses need and want. There needs to be a much clearer interface between schools and businesses because in the past there has been a disconnect between what schools teach and what businesses need."
Steve Gregory, Delphi's heavy duty product line executive, who showed Mr Duncan Smith around the company's manufacturing facilities, said his visit was 'vitally important'.
"It sends a very positive message out to the workforce but also he's someone who's going to influence industrial policy," he said.
"Thankfully all the political parties now recognise that we need a more balanced economy. If we are going to create jobs and growth and value we need high-tech investments.
"It is no longer an unskilled environment and if we as a country are going to compete, high-value, high-tech products have to be the name of the game.
"High-precision technology and engineering is where we are taking our business and we need the environmental support from the Government to help do that."
Mr Duncan Smith's high-profile visit was kept under wraps until the very last minute as local Conservative Party members hoped to avoid a repeat of the protests which marred the education secretary Michael Gove's visit to Marling School last month.
Hundreds of protesters turned out on that occasion and judging by the reaction on Twitter, Mr Duncan Smith could have expected a similarly hostile reception had details of his visit leaked out.
Former MP and Labour's prospective parliamentary candidate David Drew tweeted: "After debacle of Gove, Stroud MP now hiding ministers visiting Stroud. If he thought Gove was unpopular imagine what would happen to IDS."

Ruger Gunsite Scout .308

I purchased Ruger GSR about a year or so ago and it has become my most used 308 caliber rifle.
It is light, fast handling and carries well in the field and has sufficient magazine capacity to deal with most hunting and social situations that arise in the field (I live and hunt about 10 miles from the Mexican Border).
With regards to sighting systems, I have used the factory supplied adjustable sights, forward mounted Burris Fast Fire, a Weaver 2X handgun scope and conventionally (rear) mounted rifle scopes and all have worked well for me.
It is accurate with any decent ammo and it will turn in groups of less than an inch if I do my part.
I find that I get the best accuracy with bullets of 165 grains and heavier and groups tighten considerably with my handloads when the bullets are seated out to match the length of the magazine.
A lot of people ask whether they should buy the Ruger GSR or the Springfiled Armory Scout version of the M1A and to me it is an apples to oranges comparison.
That said as an owner of both platforms, who has hunted with both I will share the following:
Out of the box, the Ruger GSR blows the M1A away with respect to accuracy, ease of handling, weight distribution, trigger pull and will handle any 308/7.62X51 caliber ammo you can find with no need to defer to a gas system.
The Ruger Scout can be conventionally scoped without the use of secondary mounting system and when conventionally scoped it lends itself to a conventional cheek weld that requires no strange placement of the head/face or secondary cheek pad to administrate.
The barrel is factory threaded for use of a suppressor (if your so inclined) so there is no need to spend an additional 250 bucks for 5/8X24 suppressor interface and an adustable gas plug to get it to run with a Silencer in place.
With regards to cost, for the the price of an M1A Scout I can buy a Ruger GSR and 600-800 rounds of Federal Gold Medal Match, shoot for 6 or 8 months and have a pile of quality brass left over for reloading.
To me, the only advantage the M1A has over the GSR is magazine capacity and sustained rate of fire.
Now, I'm not bashing the M1A (I have 3, the SOCOM II, the Scout and the full sized loaded model with Stainless BBL) and appreciate the platform as much as anybody else but having spent days carrying both in the field, the Ruger GSR suits me and my needs a whole lot better.
M1A pics to appease those so oriented
About the only thing that I would change on my Ruger GSR would be the addition of a tactical bolt knob. I find that the factory bolt knob small and easy to miss when running the bolt from the shoulder.
I am by no means stating that the Ruger GSR is "The Perfect Rifle" but for me it covers a whole lot of bases in one package for a reasonable price.

Hopefully I can explain my question clearly....
When there is beautiful string work on the sides of a cake that looks suspended at the bottom (like it attaches to royal icing or something that curves out from the cake), how are those suspended pieces made? Are they made ahead of time and then attached to the cake and then the strings made? Or are the piped onto the cake with something holding them out from the cake until they dry? They sort of have me stumped. If anyone has any knowledge to share, I would appreciate it. TIA
Hi there Jadak:
I think you might be refering to "bridgework"? A pic would most definetly be helpful, but in any case this is what you are refering to, it all done in icing piped one row on top of the other allowing dry-time in between pipings. This is all done with very fine (usually No.0,00,1) piping tubes.
Maybe someone else can give better details
See "Australian Stringwork" in the below link:
(This is a partial picture of Toba's cake below.)
Toba Garrett's two tier Australian stringwork Crystal wedding cake serves 150 for $5000.00:
Let's see if I can explain this clearly. Start by inserting greased pins into the cake at the points of the scallops. Pipe the scallops over the pins using royal icing. Then pipe the strings from the cake down to the scallops. After it is dry, very carefully remove the pins. The royal is strong enough to suspend the scalloped string work. It is very tedious work but also beautiful. I hope that made sense.
Suggested and tried by others on another board. they use the red handle clay gun for string work. It works great and the fondant is mixed with a little tylose to help it dry faster but still stays soft. You squeeze the handle measure the length you need cut and place on cake.
I hope this helps.
Toba Garrett shows how to do this technique in her book, "The Well Decorated Cake"
Isn't this also called extension work? There was a lady on CakeCentral that did gorgous cakes using this. Loved them, but I don't have the patience to do it myself.
Yes, TexasSugar, I believe you are right. I have the Toba Garrett book. It calls it string work, extension work, and the Lambeth technique or style. I've played around with it but never on a real cake. It would take forever.
Oh, and Toba does not discuss the pin technique in her book. I learned that somewhere else. She builds up the scallop portion with multiple piping layers so the lower edge of hers is not suspended.
The book "Floating on air" by Linda Wong is wonderful for both bridged and floating stringwork - an entire book dedicated to stringwork.
Rule #1: Patience! If you pipe strings before the bridge is completely dry, it will break.
Thank you all so much. The pins make sense and I am sure the book would be helpful as well. Just one of those skills that I look at and think, "I wonder if I could do that..." and want to try in the privacy of my own home!
Gefion is too modest to toot her own horn - so I will.
Check out her cakes, she does quite a bit in the Lambeth style and each one is a masterpiece.
Cakemommy also has some great Lambeth cakes in her gallery.
As does ShirleyW.
Sorry if I've forgotten to mention anyone else who works in this style.
Just checked the galleries, and here's a link to all the Lambeth style cakes:
If you decide to try it, do buy Toba's book and use her recipe for egg-white royal icing. I took her class and she says that meringue powder royal does not have enough strength to hold up to string and extension work. I can tell you that it is excruciatingly tedious work, that the cake underneath must be perfectly firm, that it takes a great deal of practice, that the tiny piping tips get clogged constantly, that a single crystal lump in the royal icing can make you want to kill yourself, that the little strings break easily, and that Toba's finished cakes are unlike anything you've ever seen (unless you spend a lot of time with Australian technique people). But everybody in our class ended up with a cake (on a cake dummy) that we never would have believed ourselves capable of doing at the beginning of the class. It was an amazing experience.

Cyclist Lance Armstrong's refusal to fight drug allegations by the US Anti-Doping Agency was the best decision he could make for his Livestrong charity.
Columbia professor Doug White said: "Charities have to be above and beyond reproach and since he's the impediment to the charity, he did the best thing he could do. I think there will be a real fragile period of probably a year where people will have to separate that issue from the good work he is trying to do and if they can't do that then the charity is not going to go very far."
The ban and loss of results since August 1998 come from anti-doping rules violations including possession, trafficking, administration and use of prohibited substances.
Livestrong vice-chairman Jeffery Garvey said the charity supported Armstrong's decision to avoid "a biased process".
"Lance chose to put his family and his foundation first and we support his decision," Mr Garvey said.
John Seffrin, chief executive of the American Cancer Society, said he hoped the foundation would not be affected by the aftermath of Armstrong's decision. "Reducing suffering and death from cancer is a moral imperative, and the Lance Armstrong Foundation's contribution is sorely needed," he said.
"He has done a lot of work in bicycling and given it all away now," White said. "That's a hell of a lot to walk away from, so something in his head is saying there is something more important, more important in my life, and maybe it is the foundation."

text: Buccellati Group to Open in Chicago The two-story flagship covers around 2,000 square feet and is located in a historic building formerly occupied by the Esquire Theatre. By Alessandra Turra on May 29, 2013 MILAN — Buccellati Group is expanding in the U.S.The Italian jewelry company, which already counts doors in New York, Beverly Hills and Aspen, Colo., will unveil its first store in Chicago on East Oak Street in a few weeks.The two-story flagship covers around 2,000 square feet and is located in a historic building formerly occupied by the Esquire Theatre.According to Alberto Milani, chief executive officer of Buccellati Americas, the store, which is slated to open at the end of June, will feature the new concept that this summer will also be applied to the shop-in-shop inside Neiman Marcus in Palm Beach, Fla."For the first time we are using new materials and a new layout," Milani said, referring to the Chicago store. "We are keeping a part of Buccellati stores' historic look, and we are combining that with new materials — wood will feature a different finishing, we will introduce glass and mirrors and, for the first time, we will use counters."The store's first floor will be organized in three areas. One features the aforementioned counters displaying the most affordable pieces, including the silver collection, which made its debut two years ago, and the new silver items enriched with brown diamonds that will be launched on the market with the opening of the Chicago store. The second area highlights the Buccellati signature gold and precious stone ranges, while another space is dedicated to custom-made and hyper-luxury jewelry. The latter is decorated with original furniture coming from an Italian 19th-century pharmacy.The second floor carries silverware and home accessories."Chicago has traditionally been key for our business," Milani said, adding that the store will also help boost the sales of the Buccellati store in Aspen. "In Chicago we have customers that are quite conservative but loyal customers, who not only know the jewelry business very well but are also highly educated."Milani declined to give a sales projection for the store. "Especially in the first year, in Chicago we want to deliver a high-quality, personalized service, which, according to our data, is currently making the difference in the U.S.," he said, revealing that jewels ranging from 25,000 euros, or $32,158 at current exchange, to 50,000 euros, or $64,316, are driving Buccellati's business in North America. "After the crisis, those willing to spend money are more attentive to what they buy than in the past. They don't believe in affordable luxury anymore and opt for long-lasting purchases."Buccellati last week finalized the deal with Milan-based private equity Clessidra SGR to buy a 70 percent stake in the jewelry firm for 80 million euros, or $102.6 million. The Buccellati family will keep a minority stake, along with Italian merchant bank Simest."The creativity remains with [president and creative director] Andrea Buccellati, who will keep designing the collections," said Milani, who also revealed that the company is expanding its management. According to reports, former Lanvin managing director Thierry Andretta might join the company in the next few months. load comments blog comments powered by Disqus

Remember when Suri Cruise was born? The internet was full of rumors on how Tom Cruise was eating Katie's placenta like a nice steak dinner. Well, for purposes of this story, I'm Tom Cruise in this one. You've been warned.
When the pregnancy started, I was all, oh, schedule that c-section now. Then, I was all, natural birth and hypnobirthing. Then I was all, I'm naming the baby after the nice man who gave me the epidural. I guess you can say that I changed my position a lot.
One thing remained constant: I'm all kinds of afraid of post-partum depression. I've had depression for a long, long time. I did not want to go down the dark and twisty road of PPD. I know too many who have suffered.
And then I heard about the placenta… You see, if you ingest your placenta, it's supposed to be really good for your moods and hormones. A huge factor in avoiding PPD.
While the idea repulsed me on many levels, I knew it was important to investigate. Because, let's face it, if it was potentially going to help me stay on track, I wanted to explore the option.
I called the placenta pill people. The price was acceptable. It seemed easy enough. I was in.
Here's a brief description of the process, complete with bullets.
- Give birth.
- Placenta comes out.
- Placenta is placed into a plastic container for freezing.
- Because placenta is medical waste, placenta can't come home with us and has to be picked up three days after birth.
- The Friday before Christmas – go to pick up placenta with small cooler purchased specifically for placenta pick up.
- Cooler is too small. Very frozen placenta is placed in a plastic bag. Fortunately, not a bio-hazard bag, which I'm told is sometimes done.
- Call and get everything scheduled. Placenta begins thawing in sink. Husband has seen some scary things in the past few days, so this does not faze him.
- Placenta prep comes directly to your home.
- Placenta gets boiled, sliced and put into a dehydrator. (I think this was everything. I was upstairs feeding the baby for part of it.)
- Placenta looks kind of like a london broil at this point.
- Dehydrator goes for 12 hours. Dehydrator must be warm because cat likes it and sits on top of it. Cat sitting on your dehydrating placenta is a sort of weird thing to see in your kitchen, but when you are about to ingest your placenta, you don't question a lot.
- Once dehydrated, placenta is ground up and put into capsules. I had a good haul and got about 130 capsules.
- I took my first dose immediately. That was it. I did it.
A couple of weeks after the birth, I had a couple of really emotional days and I was scared that I was veering into PPD territory. I took an extra dose, which I was told was fine to do. It helped. A lot.
While the process might be a little weird, it is based on traditional Chinese medicine. It has made a huge difference for me. At the three week growth spurt, I thought I was going crazy due to lack of sleep. Some extra placenta helped a lot to get me through it with some grace.
Now, for the gross stuff.
- You get a keepsake made from the umbilical cord. It was a dehydrated cord heart in a little sachet. I'm not going to lie – it smells like jerky. And we were warned to keep it away from the cats. Since I'm taking pills made from an organ, I figure I am not that easily grossed out. Except the thought of finding my cats eating my baby's dehydrated umbilical cord… Well, that's a whole new level.
- The pills have a distinct taste/odor. I've described it as swallowing a pill made of scabs. Maybe that is dramatic and it is just very rich in iron. I hold my nose and make the best of it because they work.
- Something about selling either the pills or my placenta involves organ trafficking. I was really tired during that part of the conversation, but I like to think that I've got some serious contraband in the house. Plus, who doesn't want to think they could make big money on the black market from some of their own medical waste…
That's it. I'm taking placenta pills and I love them. And, maybe someday, my cats will have a special treat of their own and then I'm going to have to live with that forever.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced plans to pursue manufacturers and distributors of unapproved oral and injectable drugs containing codeine sulfate, codeine phosphate, or dihydrocodeine bitartrateen. Unapproved drug products escape the FDA's approval process, so there are safety risks to consumers. Some products omit warnings like side effects, dosage instructions, and drug interactions. Additionally, some products misrepresent appropriate ages and children are at risk of using adult products and doses.
Unapproved Codeine Products
Codeine is an opioid used as a pain or cough reliever. The FDA enforcement action targets unapproved drugs containing codeine sulfate, codeine phosphate, or dihydrocodeine bitartrate. Since the FDA has not assessed the chemical composition, quality control, and labeling, these products are not considered safe. The chemical make-up of these compounds have intrinsic dangers like addiction, even if manufactured and marketed with FDA approval.
FDA Enforcement Actions
The FDA is proceeding with enforcement actions, even though it is not necessary according to any legal reason, the FD&C Act, or the Administrative Procedure Act. The agency is issuing notice to those entities marketing:
The agency will take action against manufacturers, marketers, and interstate shipping agencies. Those entities can expect this announcement to be the only warning, as the agency does not expect to issue any warning letters. Enforcement procedures may include but are not limited to seizure of products, injunctions, and other judicial proceedings. Interested parties can refer to agency guidance "Marketed Unapproved Drugs—Compliance Policy Guide" for more information.
Patients who are using these unapproved drugs should speak with a medical professional about replacing them with approved medications. Pharmacists that have these drugs in stock should remove them from shelves, contact the prescribing physician, and suggest approved alternatives.

Some of the country's middle-aged golfers last Saturday morning defied the heavy downpour to participate in the annual Ecobank Chairman Seniors Golf tourney at the Achimota Golf Club.
Astute businessman Martin Poku finished first in the men's 55-years and above category after recording a 34 gross score. Ron Pinkings and Y. Assah-Sam followed with 34 gross and 31 to occupy the second and third positions respectively.
And for their brilliant display, they took home crystal-like trophies and branded Ecobank souvenirs.
The lady's event saw Beatrice Vetsch-Bempong recording a 30 gross score ahead of Nana Bema-Tackie and famous Ama Morgan, who recorded 29 and 28 scores in that sequence.
It was the men from Tema who dominated the men's 45 to 54 years category. E.T. Mensah, playing on a single handicap of seven, returned a 39 gross score. His fellow and the former club captain Leonard Kwaku Okyere beat ex-Achimota club captain Mike Aggrey on count back with a 28 gross score.
Female golf ace, Mona Myers-Lamptey , with a single handicap of seven, won the lady's 45 to 54-years supporting event with a 27 gross score. Light skinned Margaret Anderson finished second with 26 gross score, while Gambrah Sampene placed third with a gross score of 18.
The chairman of Ecobank Van Lare Dosoo suggested that the competition's name-Ecobank Chairman Seniors Golf tourney should be reverted to 'J.S. Addo championship'.
He presented ¢5,000 cash to the club for its upkeep, and promised his company's continued support.
Club captain, Rene Gameli-Kwame thanked the sponsors, Ecobank , for its support and urged the senior player to encourage the youth to take up the sport.

SPEYSIDE Distillers Company is planning for further international expansion with a major push into south east Asia as well as considering building another distillery.
The company, which has its head office and bond at Rutherglen and its distillery in Kingussie, has just secured a £4.3 million financing deal from Clydesdale Bank.
Around £1 million of that is being used for the acquisition and laying down of new stock to support the growth plans.
Loading article content
It has also invested in new casks over the past 15 months and taken advice from master distiller Jim Swan. Current brands include single malts Drumguish and Spey, with the latter among the most popular in its category in Taiwan.
Speyside Distillers employs 18 people in Scotland plus 50 people in Taiwan and a further five in China.
Some larger drinks groups, such as Diageo and Chivas Brothers owner Pernod Ricard, have seen a drop in demand for Scotch whisky in China as a result of measures to reduce conspicuous consumption.
However, Speyside Distillers is confident it can tap into the expected growth of malt whisky in China as well as Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam.
John McDonough, director, said: "There is huge potential internationally for the Spey brand.
"We see the Chinese market as a key territory for us in the coming years and, with the consumer trend in the country moving towards single malts, we feel we're in a very strong position to build on the success we're already enjoying in Taiwan.
"The changes which have occurred in China have seen people enjoy greater freedom to travel, both within the country and internationally, and led to consumers becoming more inquisitive about whisky and learning more about the single malt whisky category, all of which is increasing interest in our brand."
The company expects turnover this year to be in the region of £4.7 million, which Mr McDonough said would be an eight per cent increase.
Alongside its plans in Asia growing distribution in Europe and North America is also on the agenda for the future.
Mr McDonough confirmed the company is pleased with progress in the likes of Italy, Germany, France and Switzerland while a North American launch takes place early this summer.
He said the focus is likely to be on the Spey brand.
The funding deal with Clydesdale Bank has already led on to further discussions including the possibility of adding another distillery.
Mr McDonough said: "Our strategy is to continue to build our international presence in the Far East but also to increase awareness of Spey in European and North American.
"Having reviewed our funding options in line with this strategy, we've found Clydesdale Bank to be extremely supportive of our plans for the business.
"We're already in discussions with them about our plans to raise additional funds to build a second distillery in Aviemore."
The Speyside distillery in Kingussie may be familiar to fans of BBC television series Monarch of the Glen as it was used as the Lagganmore distillery in the programme.
Murdoch MacLennan, head of business development for the west of Scotland at Clydesdale Bank, said: "The success which John and his team have been able to achieve in markets such as Taiwan bodes extremely well as they roll out their plans for further growth in the international marketplace."
Mr McDonough, a whisky dealer, led the deal to buy Speyside Distillers Company in September 2012.
HOE International, which trades as Harvey's of Edinburgh, bought the business for an undisclosed sum.
At that time it was reported Bank of Scotland was the Speyside Distillers Company's banking partner.
The most recent abbreviated annual accounts for the business, which cover the 2012 calendar year, show it had close to £5 million of stock on its balance sheet.

New site underway
Hola there peoples ...
Well, if anyone still reads this site after my years of not updating, you will have noticed that the old site was blasted away without a trace thanks to a not-terribly competent hosting company.
Of course, being a not-terribly competent site admin, I neglected to back up the site properly and lost most of the code to the website and a large chunk of the news posts as a result.
Rather than attempt to rebuild the old site I decided to do a quick revamp in a style that makes reading on an iPhone (or iPhone related devices) easier.
When I can be arsed I shall dig through my archive CDs and reupload hundreds upon hundreds of comic strips.
All Old Comics Back Up
The archive has been restored! Must remember to do a proper backup now so this doesn't happen again (he said, immediately putting it off till later).
