I have my Mirena removed on October 30th 2012...I Spotted the next day for 2-3 days. the about 2 weeks later i got my Period and that lasted about a week...that was on NOV 14th start date. It is now January 4th 2013 and i haven't gotten another period since November and Preg. tests (3 of them) i have taken come back Neg. Last week was the last time i took one...just wondering if anyone has had this issue and or know how long it takes to get regular if im irregular....
I had my Mirena removed December 5 and then had some light spotting the next day. I took a pregnancy test on the 19th, and it was negative. Got my period on December 28th, and am now charting. I think it can take some time to get your period back.
Happy Wife and Mama to DD 5-2010. TTC #2.
Not to cause any scares, but from what I've read the most likely way to get pregnant with Mirena is if the IUD migrated from the uterus, meaning that it broke through the uterine wall and is lodge somewhere else. This tends to happen most often when the device is first inserted, but is known to happen spontaneously as well. You can tell that the IUD has migrated when the strings are no longer there. Once Mirena has left the uterus, the user might not be protected against pregnancy.
i had the mirena and did not get my first period till about 3 months latter after i had mine removed while i was giving birth to my son yep you got i got pregnant on it

How to keep cat out of baby's crib
Train pet to stay out bed before the baby arrives.
Published 6:16 pm, Sunday, April 3, 2011
Dear Cathy: How do you train a cat to stay out of a crib? We're about to have a baby and I don't want the cat getting into the crib at night?
Dear Erlene: To discourage your cat from getting in the crib before the baby comes, place double-sided tape (available at pet stores) or aluminum foil in the crib. When the cat jumps in, he or she won't like the texture and will most likely jump out. After a few attempts, your cat should stop trying to get into the crib. Of course, please remove the foil and tape from the crib when your baby arrives.
However, the best way to keep your cat out of the crib is to make sure the cat is not in the room when you leave it, then close the door and use a monitor to listen for your baby.
Lifestyle Channel
Dear Cathy: Could you do a piece about selling animals along the side of the road? It is illegal to do, yet every weekend people sell dogs at flea markets. I call the police, but nothing seems to come of it. San Antonio talks a big talk about becoming a no-kill city yet lets this kind of activity go on. I personally think that a total ban on companion animal sales should be implemented until San Antonio and Bexar County becomes a no-kill community.
Mike Martin
Dear Martin: I write about pets being sold on the side of the road at least once a year, and it seems like we make very little progress on that front in our city. It's tough to see puppies being sold on the side of the road when more than 10,000 homeless pets roam our city streets and twice that many are euthanized annually. If we can't get people to stop breeding and selling pets, hopefully your letter will remind people to at least not buy pets from the side of the road.
Dear Cathy: I take exception to your column about electronic collars ("Shock collars may cause pain," March 5). I have an English springer spaniel named Oscar. He was trained using an electronic collar by a very able trainer. An electronic collar is equipped with a transmitter, which varies the degree of stimulation. In the case of my collar, the variation is from 0 to 127. I use 12-15 with Oscar. Holding the collar in my hand, I find that I cannot feel anything less than 15.
Anyone who wishes to use an electronic collar in dog training needs to be instructed in its proper use. For example, it should not to be used to teach commands. I suppose you can make the case that some people ought not to use an electronic collar at all, but I think that those are the same people who shouldn't own dogs.
Ed G.
Dear Ed: I like your suggestion that people using electronic collars need to be properly instructed. I don't think electronic collars should be used as a first choice in training, used to teach basic commands or used by anyone who is not an experienced trainer or had training in their use. It sounds like you worked with an experienced trainer before considering the device for your own dog. That's pretty much what I hope my readers will consider before using such training devices.
Send your pet stories and questions to Cathy M. Rosenthal, c/o Features Department, San Antonio Express-News, P.O. Box 2171, San Antonio, TX 78297-2171, or firstname.lastname@example.com. Cathy's advice column runs every Sunday.

Local woman's art featured on Orbit gum packs
Thu, 08 Dec 2011 12:44:46 GMT —
Last spring, college students from across the nation were called upon to create an original pack design for Orbit gum's latest gum flavor, Melon Remix.
Eight winning designs total were chosen.
One of those winners is Monroe City resident Emily Herron.
She is a junior Journalism student at the University of Missouri.
Her pack design was inspired by the bright and vibrant colors of the Melon Remix gum flavor, which reminded her of the summer season.
She received a five-thousand dollar cash prize and will get to see her design and personal signature featured on-pack when the Melon Remix gum packs hit store shelves.

Short man makes hospital insufferable
Small man syndrome is a very real thing. If I look back at the one or two men I have encountered in life, who have truly inspired me to go all stereotypically raging ginger, both were afflicted with the curse of the "stuck in the 5'7 to 5'8 1/2-at-a-bloody-push-and-I'm-being-generous" range.
I mean, it's difficult to blame them.
You'd be mad, too, wouldn't you, if everything was in woeful proportion?
Heaven knows I, of all people, would be upset if my shoe choices were restricted to speciality sizes only.
The reason I mention this is that, while I'm currently too medicated to pump out 500 words on bleak custard (as I write, I am literally in the back of a minicab on my way home, after waiting six hours for my discharge papers; pardon my drowsiness), life this week has been based solely around the hospital.
Which means all prior chat about life ensnared in the NHS web was just instalment uno in what appears to be a never-ending carnival of horrors.
Even more upsetting than the fact my health has prevented me from visiting both Hyde Park for Winter Wonderland and Oxford Circus to see the Christmas lights, not to mention put me in doubt for my work do as well as Christmas carols at the offie around the corner, is that I've spent the past week at the mercy of a specialist with small man syndrome.
Seriously, males that height should not be given positions of power. The only way things could get worse would be if you'd handed him an airport parking warden notepad.
I've had a finger waggled in my face, been yelled at, been talked over, stomped away from and generally left unamused.
Super professional. (Oh, and this is after some genius booked me in for an outpatient clinic I didn't need, not the surgery I turned up expecting to have, last Monday. Deep breaths Alana, deep breaths.)
The trouble is, when you've got an IV in each arm, you really are at the mercy of whoever is in charge of doling out pain relief.
I spent the weekend - yes that's right, I was stuck in a hospital during a weekend - having deeply sinister thoughts about withholding fentanyl from the little shrimp.
Dangling it above his head, just . . . out . . . of . . . reach.
I envisage an evil cackle escaping my lips - and with the meds I'm on, I swear I can almost hear it.
You just wait, I mutter under my breath, fist clenched.
You just wait for when I can walk again and all these pills don't make me fall asleep after five sec . . .
PS: Merry Christmas Southland! Enjoy the pav, backyard cricket, and the finest sunshine Oreti Beach has to offer - and a great big helping of family and friends.

A RHYL nightclub owner has told of the terrifying moment he was attacked by two thugs bearing an axe.
Gwil Ritchie, who runs Fushion nightclub, was hit on the head by the louts outside his home at about 4.30am on Saturday, April 15. Mr Ritchie had just pulled up on Violet Grove, Rhyl. He was walking towards his house when he was hit and felt an arm around his neck.
The dad – who has run Fushion nightclub for more than two years – managed to wrestle the axe off one of the attackers and fought back in self defence. The men also demanded money.
The two yobs left the area before police were called. Mr Ritchie was left with bruising, a lump to his head and a cut finger. He was treated at Glan Clwyd Hospital.
Mr Ritchie said: "I had just pulled up outside home and got out of the car. I turned to walk to the house and I was hit from behind. One of them was shouting abuse at me. I turned and fought with him at that point. I saw an axe had ended up in the middle of the road.
"I saw a second person who ran away seconds before the main attacker ran. Obviously I was shocked and shaken, but we train for incidents like this. These people need to be caught before they kill someone. They were shouting at me for money. I want to make it clear that no money from the club is ever taken home – we use a security company."
Detective Inspector for North Wales Police Chris Bell described the attack as "cowardly".
"It is fortunate that he has not sustained more serious injuries," he added.
"We believe that the offenders have observed his movement as he arrived on Violet Grove. We are pursuing a number of lines of enquiry and the assistance received from the public to date is very much appreciated.
"We are appealing to anyone who may have witnessed the incident or anyone who may have seen people acting suspiciously in the vicinity of the nightclub or in Violet Grove around the time of this incident to contact police."
Anyone with information is asked to contact central CID on 101. Quote reference RC17052948.

Social Movements and Leftist Governments in Latin America: Confrontation or Co-option?
In recent years, the simultaneous development of prominent social movements and the election of left and center-left governments has radically altered the political landscape in Latin America. These social movements have ranged from the community based "piqueteros" of Argentina that brought down three governments in the space of a month in 2001 to the indigenous movements in Ecuador and Bolivia that were instrumental in toppling five governments in the last decade. And in the cases of Venezuela and Brazil, social movements helped to provide the political base from which leftist leaders like Hugo Ch�vez and Lula were swept into power by election. Social Movements and Leftist Governments in Latin America moves beyond simple discussion of these social movements to address an issue that is crucial for politics in the region today but has yet to be properly analyzed - specifically, what is the position of the social movements after progressive governments take power? Are they co-opted in support of government policies or do they remain at arm's length as continuing opponents? How many of the movement's demands are actually met and what happens when the government almost inevitably disappoints its supporters in such movements? This unique and important work explores these questions, shedding new light on how these social movements continue to operate in Latin America.

Sully Says: A year older doesn't always mean a year better
It wasn't supposed to be like this.
BJ Young, Hunter Mickelson, Rickey Scott, Ky Madden and Madracus Wade were expected to be more productive in year 2 under Mike Anderson. 28 games in, and it's hard to say that any of the five have improved this season.
BJ Young is a gifted scorer. He leads the team in scoring despite the fact that he's become a one dimensional scorer. When BJ is hitting the three like he did last year, he's one of the most dynamic offensive players in college basketball. When he's shooting 21 percent from behind the three point arc, he can become an offensive liability. In a critical three-game stretch, BJ was held to a total of 15 points. That didn't happen last season.
Hunter Mickelson's scoring and rebounding numbers are about the same as they were a year ago but he's not the shot blocker we saw as a freshman. Last season, the former Westside star blocked 72 shots. Through 28 games this season, Hunter has 38 blocks. What really concerns me is that he doesn't look any more comfortable on the court.
Per-game averages of five points and two rebounds a game is probably not what Rickey Scott expected in his junior season. Scott played only eight minutes in the loss at LSU.
Ky Madden has not had that breakthrough sophomore season that many were hoping to see. We've yet to see Madden play with the swagger he displayed in the high school and AAU ranks.
I want show you part of Madracus Wade's pre-season bio.
A gym rat who spent countless hours improving his shot; he led the SEC in three-point percentage as a sophomore; Bleacher Report named him the No. 3 pure shooter in the nation and one of the 12 best shooters; Lindy's Sports previewed has him as the top shooter in the SEC; Arkansas' leading scorer in Italy at 15.8 points per game, burying 57 percent from the field.
I don't know what happened between Italy and opening night, but Wade hasn't been the same confident shooter. He looked like the old Madracus against LSU hitting several big threes but on the season, he's hitting only 28 percent of his three point attempts.
Where would this team be without the captains? Neither player was a factor in the 2011-12 season. Marshawn Powell sat out the season with an injury and Kikko Haydar averaged 0.5 points and 0.4 rebounds a game.
This season, Marshawn is the Hogs undisputed leader. When he's in the game, the Hogs are a different team. The new Marshawn is also a 40 percent three point shooter.
Then there's Kikko. He's been the Hogs' only consistent outside shooting threat from the guard position. Kikko is hitting 42 percent from three point range. He's also proven to be one of the most annoying on-ball defenders in the SEC.
Bottom line: a year older doesn't always mean a year better.

Mayo Clinic finding may double genetic screening effectiveness for sudden death heart conditionCurrently that genetic test correctly detects HCM only 40 percent of the time. But coupled with imaging information, the detection power of the test nearly doubles, to 79 percent, says Steve Ommen, M.D., director of Mayo's HCM Clinic and co-lead investigator of the Mayo Clinic research team.
These results suggest the combined approach of an echocardiography-guided genetic test may be more helpful for families undergoing genetic counseling, and more cost-effective to perform, he says.
The Mayo Clinic team's report appears in the current edition of Mayo Clinic Proceedings (http://www.mayoclinicproceedings.com/). Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is most often a hereditary condition in which the heart muscle thickens and enlarges, and the cells in the tissue become disorganized. As a result, the pumping function of the heart can be altered. HCM affects one in 500 people and is the most common identifiable cause of sudden death in young people, particularly athletes. Genetic screening for mutations that cause HCM gives parents advance knowledge they can use to prepare for treatment, ranging from medication to defibrillator implantation, to surgery and lifelong medical surveillance for worsening symptoms.
Significance of the Mayo Clinic Research
Boosting the sensitivity of the HCM detection rate with the image-gene screen combo can help physicians more accurately identify which families may benefit most from genetic testing for HCM, and then more accurately counsel those families. In such counseling, genetic information from uncles, aunts and grandparents, too -- not just the parents -- can yield insights into hereditary patterns.
Until now, physicians and genetic counselors have been hindered in their ability to give families an accurate picture of the risk of passing along the HCM trait.
"Our finding helps families two ways: short term and in the future," Dr. Ommen says. "In terms of the most immediate application, the echocardiographic shape of the heart can help physicians give families more meaningful and accurate information about the role of genetic testing for that specific family. In terms of the future, it presents a research opportunity to explore how and why this distinct trait of heart anatomy occurs -- which hopefully will give us a better handle on HCM all around and help us design interventions to prevent or correct this defect."
Adds Michael Ackerman, M.D., Ph.D., the study's co-lead investigator and director of Mayo's Sudden Death Genomics Laboratory: "In moving basic research findings from the lab into the clinic where they can help patients, this may be one of the most substantive observations in the past 15 years linking gene mutations to specific symptoms that patients experience."
"Fundamentally, we have discovered that the two most common subtypes of HCM have markedly distinct genetic underpinnings," he says.
The Meaning of Shape
The researchers examined two distinct anatomical heart shapes. One shape is described as sigmoid, and the other is called reverse curvature. In their report, the researchers focus on an unusual feature that is more commonly observed in the hearts of patients diagnosed with HCM after age 50. The hearts of younger people with HCM generally lack this distinctive feature of heart anatomy known as sigmoid ventricular septum. It is a variance in the shape in one wall of the heart, and it has long been associated with a milder form of the disease. By comparison, the other distinctive shape -- reverse curvature of the ventricular septum -- dramatically alters the contours of the chamber. However, until the current era of genomic medicine brought the ability to link structural changes with specific gene activity, it was not clear that this distinctive structural feature was linked to specific mutations that cause HCM.
About the Mayo Clinic Study
The researchers examined 382 unrelated patients in the Mayo Clinic Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Clinic over a four-year period, analyzing eight known HCM-susceptibility genes. These eight genes comprise the available clinical genetic test for HCM. Next -- and without prior knowledge of the results of the patients' genetic profiles -- the researchers evaluated traditional medical exam data, including patient medical history, and anatomical and functional findings, such as blood pressure and echocardiography images. Echocardiography is a common noninvasive way to make a moving picture of the heart's structure and function using ultrasound. It transmits sound waves through the heart and records them on an electronic sensor to create a moving picture.
In the final step, the researchers matched the gene screening results to traditional exam results -- and found a consistent correlation between heart muscle shape and the presence of HCM-associated mutations. Regardless of age, if the heart muscle had the sigmoid shape, the yield of the genetic test was only 8 percent compared to 79 percent when the shape was reverse curvature. Collaboration and Support

One or our students ordered these custom friendship bracelets but apparently did not check their email afterward. Be sure and check your email and spam filter because they send you a copy of your graphic after you order and the order doesn't start until you approve it. It does say that on their website, but not very obvious.
To their credit, they finally called us after a week and I had them re-send the proof to me. They got them shipped out on fast service and the friendship bracelets barely made it the day before our fundraiser. The bracelets were excellent and everybody was happy. Would order again.(Posted on 11/5/2013)

The full assortment of the Archer Farms "Meals for Two" program is packaged in a 16pt SBS paperboard carton with curved corners to give it a more premium look and feel. The carton has been specifically designed to allow the flaps to mimic the arc on the front panel. Color is used to organize cuisine type.
Domata wanted to distinguish itself from the rest of the gluten-free category. The design used is bold with ties to the kitchen in the form of tablecloth, apron and other graphics. The letters in different tones are meant to give the impression of a slightly more "handled" and approachable look.
The goal of the package was to be the first on the market using this design and sustainable focused packaging technology. The HBA package features sidewall sealing and dual hang/stand display options. The Alice in Wonderland lip balm set reveals a color-contrasting storyline and a shadowbox effect highlights the Breast Cancer set.
The Feosol brand was stripped down to the bare essentials in this redesign. A proud yet delicate new Feosol logo sits prominently embossed on the pack, along with the product name and function. Color coding is secondary to a largely white canvas that lends freshness and modernity to the line while increasing shopability.
The updated packaging for the TYLENOL family needed to make it easy for any parent to trust they've made the right choice for relief for their child. The use of the simple red background helps to focus attention on the characters and creates a sense of calm while still providing emphasis to the "Fever and Pain" need state.
The essence of the Jaali Bean brand is accessible India. The playful brand name and identity was the inspiration to create a clever yet sophisticated design. A contemporary palette and a clean design language combine with a fresh, homemade feeling of the photography.
The MoonPie brand was born in 1917. With such a rich heritage, the goal was to give personality without abandoning core equities. Layering on a large dose of indulgence with a strong brand billboard and flavor system made the brand architecture complete. Appetite appeal is enhanced, and the new imagery system is easy to navigate.
The "Nice!" brand is a price-value line that stands out on shelf through a cheerful, vibrant personality and relatable, engaging imagery. The brand represents solutions for everyday living. The look is simple, and the packaging uses a clean, no-frills white background with black lettering and a simple, vibrant silhouette of the product inside.
Pedia-Lax shoppers are moms who are busy, might have a sick kid in tow, and are emotionally charged because of the ill child. The new packaging gets her in and out of the store with the right product. The package uses well-communicated information and no clutter. The overall look balances efficacy with kid-friendliness.
Sprint wanted to lead in sustainability through greener packaging materials and graphics. The packaging materials are made from 87 percent post-consumer waste using recycled kraft. The visuals are natural and support the device. Ink is used sparingly and the messaging discusses recycled materials.
Orange juice is a crowded category, and this "not from concentrate" Spanish juice wanted a fun design to differentiate itself. The design reflects the origin of the oranges with a light-hearted Matador symbol. Color coding helps distinguish between the smooth and pulp varieties.
This package design pushes the brand into a more sophisticated execution that puts emphasis on the product itself with die cut windows. Design elements consist of a deep magenta colored brand logo against white on main display panels and reversed on secondary panels. The copy explains what the item compares to on a national brand level.
The Vemma Bod-e product line is a healthy weight management solution. Convenience was a key factor in development and design. The Vemma Bod-e Cleanse box is made of SFI-certified 20 point cover stock and printed in four colors with an aqueous coating. The clean white design conveys a sense of purity that is connected to the brand.
The range of products was categorized by end use and named according to their function or ownable feature, i.e., the ballsy one, the twisty one. The brand identity cleverly uses a vibrating upside down "R," which is reminiscent of the iconic shape of the product. The packaging was designed to look high end and gift worthy.
The packaging graphics for this design include a new interpretation of the Dr. Scholl's trademark yellow sash. At the top of the pack, a black and white photo portrays the energy of an athlete engaged in exercise. The three die cuts on the package allow consumers to feel the quality of the product.
Colgate was looking to create a premium whitening toothpaste brand. By elevating the Colgate red equity, Swerve was able to create a cosmecutical premium tier. Printing on Pillars of Light substrate, the rich color conveys an advanced product. The smaller Colgate logo supports the premium positioning.
The range of lunch tools take on a new and exciting feel with a whimsical product design. The logo defines that the products and reusable, and the description and visuals give usage details.
Clear-coded graphics communicate the unique features of the timer. A clean white background balances the overall feel of the layout and coincides with the brand architecture. Simple product simulation helps the consumer understand the product.
Better Food Concepts' packages are made from recycled paperboard and are recyclable, biodegradable and compostable. The design embodies a premium Italian product by combining a classic monochromatic color scheme inspired by the main ingredient of black and white truffles. The dual die cut opening shows off the products inside.
The new mid-tier national brand equivalent for SUPERVALU represents a strategic change and consolidation of multiple banner brands under one umbrella. The design uses color impact to compete against national brands and stand out on the shelf while having an approachable feel.
The new look for the Fleet brand evokes a clean, healthy perspective. The new identity is more prominent on the pack but softer and more approachable through typography. The vibrant green background conveys movement and relief. The cleaner design makes benefits clearly legible for the consumer who is in discomfort.
The grab & go meals' redesign features photographs of the individual components arranged on a plate to communicate a full meal. Handwritten ingredient callouts add personality while providing wholesome reassurance. The carton is CCKB made from 100 percent recycled fiber content with a minimum 35 percent post-consumer material.
The Häagen-Dazs brand portfolio was redesigned to be more relevant to today's consumer while maintaining its super-premium equity. Traditional flavor ingredients are set against a background of gold silk to accentuate the ice cream's richness. Real food photography and gold accents throughout the line maintain the indulgent feel.
Jack Daniel's Double Gold Medal Commemorative Gift Set is a very exclusive offering for duty-free travelers. The package is made of high-quality rigid board and features swinging side-by-side doors that house two neat glasses. The set is hand-finished with a smooth, soft-touch, rich matte black wrap.
This new product needed everything from a name to a breakthrough look. The objective was to make the product look totally refreshing while clearly communicating the main differentiators: that Lipton's powder was made with real tea and honey. The design was kept minimal, showcasing the glass or pitcher and the product.
This waste-free meal packaging product line needed to provide end users with increased shopability. The redesign paid careful attention to create packaging that informed and engaged consumers while offering a small footprint. Simple sleeves, boxes and hang tags were utilized, and graphics reflect the fun and eco-friendly nature of the products.
Puffs Car Cups were created to help drive trial, incremental purchases and out-of-home usage for the brand. The new packaging structure is a streamlined carton structure that fits most car cup holders. The collection of six designs is based on popular fashion and accessory trends.
Rolling Words, Snoop Dogg's smokable songbook, is a promotion for Snoop Dogg's King Size Slim Rolling Papers. Each page is a rolling paper with Snoop's greatest songs and lyrics written on them in nontoxic ink. The perforated pages are easy to detach from the hemp-related cover and binding. The spine features a match striking surface.
Style Selections is a diverse brand for home products and materials aimed at a style-conscious buyer. The branding approach is bright, modern and fresh with iconography and color cues providing the right signals for the appropriate categories and departments.
The Vemma Bod-e product line is a healthy weight management solution. Convenience was a key factor in development and design. The Vemma Bod-e Transformation Pack Shipper Box is a 100 percent recyclable white corrugated box made from 40 percent recycled materials. The graphics are printed with earth-friendly soy-based ink.
With nearly two centuries of history and tradition behind it, Westminster's baking methods were time-proven, but its identity was timeworn. The logo was renovated to capture the "New-England-ness" of the brand. The warm white background is layered with product photography. The navigation is clearer; the brand story more prominent.

In this weeks update DeeJ said that the blue orbs in the Destiny updates video on "What we know so far" were not Glimmer as previously thought. I looked into this and found (at 31:15) that when the player "absorbs" the blue orbs, a little square in the bottom left that looks to be a recharge of some kind, significantly makes a jump to being full again. This has peaked my interest and I thought I would share it with you. Let me know what you guys think.

Enjoy being outdoors? Need some motivation to turn off Top Design and actually do something? Want to provide people in Africa with clean, safe drinking water? Blue Planet Run is the humanitarian way to burn some fat.
Here is how it works: For a $30 entrance fee you can run, walk or bike 30 miles within a 30-day period (even we can do that). Your entrance fee alone, not including any other funds you can raise from sponsors, is enough to provide a person in Tanzania with clean drinking water for a lifetime…yes, a LIFETIME! And you don't have to do it alone; you can cover the 30 miles yourself, or you can create a team to split up the miles and ramp up the fun.
Last year, 20 runners ran for 95 days circumnavigating the globe to raise awareness, education and critical funding for Blue Planet Run's clean drinking water program. To date, this program has provided clean drinking water to over 140,000 people around the world.
While you can help by simply making a donation, just think how great you'll feel at the end of 30 days, knowing that you have not only gotten in some exercise but that you have helped another person enjoy one of life's purest pleasures: clean drinking water. We'll drink to that - and maybe even walk to that!

Urban Street Art from Aakash Nihalani.
Many artists today are applying they're skills to altering the urban landscape. Sometimes they're trying to make a point, and sometimes they're just redecorating. Artist Aakash Nihalani decorated this stop sign with an intricate geometric flower border with nothing more than cardboard, tape, and a box cutter. Imagine what you could do with a laser cutter.
Click on on the image or here to watch a video of the installation. It shows him making and installing the project, and it features the work of many other street artists. See if you can spot them all. (opens in a new window)
Nihalani's portfolio includes an impressive range of work from painting to installations, but I must admit that I'm the most drawn to his street art.
If you like this, read our previous coverage of John Patterson. His work is a totally different medium and scale, but their work shares a certain unpretentious charm.

Cisco and Apple: A win-win?
Both Cisco and Apple hold reputations for being difficult, stubborn and egotistical -- so is it really possible the two companies can work together and share the iPhone label?
This Article Covers
Both companies would benefit greatly if indeed they could make this arrangement work over an extended period of time. There is no question that Apple wants to be a major contender in the highly competitive mobile phone market. It is attempting to do so by leveraging its brand ubiquity in the portable entertainment area (e.g., iPod). Entertainment capability is becoming a key component (and major selling point) of newer, flashy cell phone models. Cisco, on the other hand, is using its brand (e.g., Linksys) and marketing muscle to try and dominate the consumer side of the VoIP telephony marketplace. (Of course, it is also doing so in the enterprise with Cisco-branded products.)
The great debate - to PC or not to PC
IT leaders have greater choice in end-user devices than ever before. The age of PC-only users is over and we have entered the multiple device era. In this guide, you can find best practice, analysis of the latest trends, and expert advice on formulating enterprise strategy in laptops, desktop PCs and mobile devices.
By submitting your personal information, you agree that TechTarget and its partners may contact you regarding relevant content, products and special offers.
You also agree that your personal information may be transferred and processed in the United States, and that you have read and agree to the Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy.
But it is quite clear that within three to four years, fixed mobile convergence (FMC) will be a key component of almost all wireless and VoIP providers' playbooks. We will be carrying around devices that can connect over cellular networks when we are on the street but connect over Wi-Fi when we are at home (or in the office). The need to be proficient at both cellular and VoIP will become a key attribute for any company wanting to make phones, whether packed with entertainment capability or not. By sharing the iPhone brand, Cisco could leverage its VoIP experience, while Apple could leverage its entertainment-oriented cellular phone experience. The two together could be greater than the sum of their parts. Is it such a stretch to envision Apple configuring an iPhone with VoIP in addition to cellular? And is it such a stretch to envision Cisco selling an FMC device that it obtains from Apple which also has entertainment features embedded? They could be cross-selling each other's products and sharing their engineering strengths to address the FMC market, not to mention their complementary distribution channels. This would benefit both companies.
So, even though many pundits may believe that Apple won this round and Cisco came out the loser, I am not so sure. I suspect this could really be a win-win situation if both sides take a longer-term view. Of course, agreeing to work together and actually working together are two different things, and agreements often fall apart. But in this case, both companies have much to gain if they can cooperate, and much to lose if they can't. Only time will tell.

Bipolar II – Arrogance, Pride, and No Suicide
Bipolar II has a symptom of arrogance that can prevent suicide. I take pride in my condition: Chronic Hypo Mania aka Bipolar II. My arrogance, or ego, has always kept me alive, and has prevented me from suicidal ideations or any suicidal attempts. Thank God.
The role of arrogance to escape suicide and find balance through pride goes as follows…
Arrogance is a big symptom of Bipolar II. Similar to a Bipolar I manic episode, you can experience elevated thoughts and grandiose ideations. Yes, at times this can get me in trouble, but, it is my underlying arrogance that has kept me alive. I think to myself, "I have way too much to accomplish in this world, so much to contribute, so why would I even entertain a suicidal thought." Sounds arrogant, yes, but I'll take it, for it keeps me alive and away from suicide. However…
That grandiose behavior has landed me in situations where I have acted suicidal. Thinking you are invincible will get you in some compromising situations. Racing thoughts, and the belief you are above whatever "it" is, or able to go beyond reasonable measures, can go south real fast. It's important to find a balance when your ego takes over. And finding balance comes with having some pride.
In my experience working with the mentally ill, I come across shame and denial. Maybe the answer is finding a way to take pride in your condition. When I lose my arrogance, and take pride in owning my condition, I find balance. And isn't balance all that a hypomanic person hopes to find?

Johannesburg, Sept 24 (ANI): Former Test player Nasser Hussain has said that by picking Stuart Broad, Steven Finn, Chris Tremlett and Boyd Rankin in their Ashes squad, England have given Australia something to think about.
According to Sport24, the tall quartet of pacemen are all capable of bowling at speeds in excess of 90-mph and will find the hard wickets to their liking when the test series starts in Brisbane in November.
Hussain said that some of the Australian players like Michael Clarke do not play the short ball very well, and they want to go after them, adding that it was why the team had selected this side.
Hussain, who now works as a Sky commentator, also expressed he would have preferred some variety in the selection with the inclusion of swing bowler Graham Onions, the report said. (ANI)

Rupert Everett: Looks boosted my career
Rupert Everett believes his "good looks" and "aggressive" personality led to his movie star success.
The British actor has appeared in a number of high-profile films including My Best Friend's Wedding and The Next Best Thing.
Rupert has explained the secret to his Hollywood accomplishments.
"I was quite good-looking when I was young - that gets you a long way in showbusiness and I was also quite aggressive," he told the UK edition of OK! magazine.
"There was nothing miraculous that happened to me really."
Rupert dropped out of boarding school when he was 16. The 53-year-old star - who is renowned for his outspoken nature - says there were definite periods of his life where he struggled to "escape" his privileged upbringing.
"Yes, I suppose so," he said.
"I was a very difficult character as a kid - neurotic, anxious, more difficult than I am now, though I can still be quite difficult. But no more difficult than a lot of people that I've worked with."

A recent Frost & Sullivan report shows that the European BIPV market in 2007 was estimated at 143 million with a total installed capacity of 25.7 MW for the commercial, residential, industrial and public markets combined. Currently, there is substantial amount of interest in this market due to its high year on year growth, as well as an increasing number of countries which now have legislation supporting BIPV technology. The key to understanding BIPV market hot spots is pinpointing the countries that have passed BIPV-friendly legislation. It is no secret that the countries with this kind of legislation have seen the most growth. Led by Germany, and followed by Italy, France and Spain, these markets in particular are ripe for investment.
The link between geographic hotspots and legislation is noted by Frost & Sullivan Akhil Sivanandan, Research Analyst, who says, The common factor to all the best regions for investment in BIPV has been the level of legislative support. These regions have high levels of legislative support for BIPV, usually through feed-in tariffs, although easy availability of loans, solar PV ordinances and other such supportive legislations are also important to grow and sustain the market. Manufacturers have traditionally gravitated towards such regions.
Right now the largest market for BIPV in Europe is the German market. In 1999 the country began to promote BIPV technology through its 100,000 programme. By guaranteeing feed-in tariffs and interest free loans, the German market developed more quickly than other markets, securing in 2004 the position of the largest PV market in the world. Because of its early focus on BIPV, the country currently has a high level of expertise among BIPV installers, designers, architects and manufacturers, accompanied by a high level of awareness among the end consumers. Recent amendments in Germanys renewable energy act, the EEG (Erneuerbare Energien Gesetz) ensures that Germany will remain one of the largest markets for BIPV in the world.
Although it took a few more years for the French to pick up speed, by 2006 their BIPV specific feed-in tariffs were introduced, catapulting the country into hotspot status for manufacturers. Just a year after this legislation was enacted, the French market has grown into the second largest market for BIPV in Europe. However because it is still a relatively new market, establishing a strong manufacturing and consumer base will be vital. Currently, BIPV manufacturers are pressed to meet the steep demands within the country. The French BIPV market is also suffering from a lack of expertise for BIPV, especially in design and installation.
At one point the Italian market was projected to the BIPV leader, given the countrys excellent climate conditions and high investment capability, however, slow bureaucracy has leashed its growth. The lack of specific tariffs in Italy was barring BIPV progress, until 2007 when the market was advanced by the introduction of the Conto Energia laws which granted very high feed-in tariffs for BIPV, and a clear cut definition for a BIPV installation. Since then the market has grown more rapidly. Despite Italys continual slow and complicated bureaucratic process, this market is expected to continue its high growth rate in the coming years.
Couched between France and Italy, the BIPV trend spread to Spain. The Spanish BIPV market took off in 2004, as it was so closely related to Spains already established open-field PV market. Although the PV market created a back door for the BIPV market, the Spanish BIPV market has experienced less growth than the general PV market. This is not a surprise as the PV market has been around much longer and thus is more developed. But the tide is set to change at the end of 2008, when the Spanish government is ready to revise its tariffs for PV, giving higher importance to BIPV and scaling down its open-field PV tariffs. This will give preference to BIPV among both consumers and manufacturers from the mid 2009 onwards when the tariffs are to come into effect.
As it stands, Germany, France, Italy and Spain have the stronger BIPV markets in Europe and are paving the way for European BIVP expansion. Countries such as Greece, Portugal and Switzerland are moving in the same direction. Although still in the preliminary stages, these markets are something for investors to keep their eyes on as they are emerging into potential BIPV hotspots.

Climate Action Plan
Over the course of recent history, WWC has increased commitment to environmental responsibility and sustainability. The College recognizes climate change as one the most crucial and complicated challenges of our time. And thus, the Climate Action Plan Goals were born in 2007:
30% Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction from 2007/2008 levels during the period 2009/2010 to 2014/2015 which has the potential for a savings in expenditures of $367,847
25% total reduction in electricity use campus-wide based on a combination of behavior changes and retrofits.
20% reduction in natural gas carbon emissions based on gradual upgrades of heating/cooling systems to geothermal, solar thermal, and other high functioning systems.
50% total reduction in transportation carbon footprint based upon fleet upgrades, alternative transportation, voluntary reduction in commuting footprint, voluntary use of carbon offsets for faculty/staff/students and international travel, and more efficient use of vehicles for Service Learning and campus Work Crews vehicles.
Achieve additional 50% greenhouse gas emissions reduction for the period 2015/2016 to 2020/2021 with strategies to be determined by 2014/2015.
What do our emissions look like now?
Transportation at 39%, Electricity at 28% and Natural Gas at 17% are the College's top three contributors to total GHG emissions.
Renewable Energy
As a result of student initiation, WWC is currently purchasing renewable energy credits (RECs) in the form of wind power to offset 100% of our campus's 4.7 million kWh of annual electricity consumption. This means that for every kWh of electricity we consume (most of which is generated at the coal fired power plant just southwest of us at Lake Julian) a kWh of wind energy is put back on the power grid.
WWC is the first college in the Southeast to go 100% RECs! For more on RECs, click here.
WWC also generates 13KW of renewable solar energy annually from an 11KW grid-tied array and from panels on EcoDorm. The EcoDorm system is used to help power the dorm, while the grid-tied array puts solar energy directly onto the local electric grid.

I was concerned that the deep hollows under my eyes made me look tired, and no matter how much concealer I used, the dark circles were always there. I just wanted to have an overall improvement in my face. I researched the different options and decided on fat transfer. I am very pleased with the results. It is a very natural look and I do not regret it one bit.
I had a facial fat transfer in December of 2013. It is now four months later and I am very pleased with the results. The improvements to my face have surpassed what I expected. My main concern were the hollows under my eyes. These were improved, as well as my jawline, cheeks, forehead, and even the area around my lips. The effect is subtle, and very natural. I just look refreshed and healthy. I also have been told that it took years off of my face. My skin has improved as well.

The tragic murder of Trayvon Martin has been receiving a lot of media attention over the past few weeks.
STORY: Memories! Trayvon Martin's Prom Picture
Trayvon was murdered by a Sanford, Florida watchman identified as George Zimmerman on grounds of self-defense. The case has inflicted national outrage and is sparking a conversation about racial relations in America.
STORY: Finally! Trayvon Martin's Police Documents Released
Trayvon's brother Jahvaris Fulton, a student at Florida International University, spoke exclusively with CBS Miami about his disapproval of decisions made by Sanford authorities saying:
"It's just baffling how people just take his word for it, as if that's exactly what happened, and no question about it," said Fulton. I think it sends the wrong message. It tells people that you can murder someone, no one sees it, and you can say its self defense. That's essentially what happened and I don't think people should get that."
Jahvaris, who plans on attending a Miami rally for Trayvon today, urged supporters "just to continue to fight for justice…"

Ex-Redskins Renaldo Wynn Gathers Current Redskins To Give BackPosted by on November 30, 2010 – 2:43 pm
I've covered a few charitable events where Redskins players lead kids on shopping trips through Target — at least two for back-to-school and one other pre-Christmas –so that aspect of today's event wasn't all that unusual to see. What was unusual, though, was that the event was organized by Renaldo Wynn — someone who is no longer officially affiliated with the Redskins.
And yet it was identical in every appearance to the events that Lorenzo Alexander puts on through his ACES Foundation, and to Wynn's similar event last year when he WAS on the roster: a similarly large group of guys, similar turnout of children from local families in need, and — clearly — a similar level of effort put into it by Wynn and his wife LaTanya and their Family of Faith Foundation.
Wynn introduced this tradition to the D.C. area shortly after he first arrived as a Redskin. "I actually remember this event from when Tony Boselli used to do it when I was in Jacksonville," Wynn told me today. "And it was so awesome, I said, we need to kinda pattern that and bring it here to Virginia and just cater to the people in D.C., Virginia, and Maryland."
Then Wynn left, spending the 2007 season with the Saints and 2008 with the Giants. But he didn't take the Adopt A Child For The Holidays event with him.
"I thought about it when I first left the first time and I went to New Orleans and New York," Wynn said. "I said, should I take it to those places? Those places have people in need. But we prayed about it, and I just felt that no matter what happens, this is always gonna be an event that we're gonna do here, even if I have to come back, whether I'm playing or not playing. As long as God's willing, I'm gonna do the event whether I'm playing or not playing, and we're gonna keep it here."
So they did. Now, in Wynn's first season out of the NFL, they've brought the event back — and plenty of current Redskins players have joined them.
And it's not only Wynn's friends and former teammates who are contributing. "It's about word of mouth," Wynn explained. "The other guys here know what we've been doing the last few years, and guys talk about it in the locker room. I don't have to be in the locker room to know that guys are talking about it and saying, 'Hey, this is an event you wanna go to. It's awesome, it's a blessing not only to the kids but even moreso for yourself.' Players talk, and I just thank those players for continuing to give us a good word."
Which sounds sort of hokey and unbelievable, but when I bumped into first-year long snapper Nick Sundberg leading a group of kids through the store, his story mirrored Wynn's description almost exactly. "Hunter Smith introduced me to Renaldo at the game and was talking about this event a little bit," Sundberg explained. "I heard a little bit about what was going on, with the kids and everything, and thought it was just an awesome, awesome idea. So I asked, hey, you mind if I join you, and it worked out really well and I'm happy to be here."
So that's one way the charitable impulse spreads through an NFL team: one guy throws an event and another guy shows up to help. But it's also clear that Lorenzo Alexander takes kids on school supply trips through Target in a way that's modeled after what he saw at Wynn's holiday events — which means that this event has come from Tony Boselli, to Wynn, and now to Alexander, like some kind of bizarre charitable phone tree.
"It's just like passing the torch, man," Wynn said. "Before Boselli, there was Junior Seau. And I'm sure there was somebody before him. So we're just continuing that pattern, man."
Still, Wynn talks about Alexander with a clear and understandable sense of pride. "You know, a lot of guys say they wanna do stuff, but because of busyness they never get around to it," Wynn said. "And I understand that. But Lorenzo, he said, I wanna do this, I wanna bring it back to where I'm from as well, and you can see what he's already done. That's what it's all about: giving back, and giving someone else a rope to help them just like someone helped me."

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 12, 2013 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- An innovative study spanning 20 years of research on the intelligence of chickens has spurred Blair Stover and many consumers to reconsider their food choices. The study shows that chickens demonstrate intelligent behavior within just a few hours of hatching, much of which takes human children several years to grasp.
The scientific study reviewed twenty years of research and was sponsored by The Happy Egg Company. The study cites extensive evidence of chickens showing numerical ability, complex social behaviors and critical decision making within a few hours of hatching, according to the website DailyMail.com, in a June 18, 2013 article. With empirical evidence now showing chickens to be intelligent creatures, Blair Stover is rallying support from around the world for humanely raised food choices.
The Happy Egg Company operates free-range egg farms throughout the Ozarks area of Arkansas. The company's website notes the difference in welfare between cage-free birds that live in crowded conditions, to free-range chickens roaming pastures and enabled to exhibit natural behaviors.
A better egg product and increased connection to the food that consumers eat are cited by The Happy Egg Company as benefits of humane farming practices. Blair Stover, entrepreneur, has echoed these sentiments with a transition to certified humane meats in online recipes.
In addition to animal welfare, growing food safety concerns for fecal matter and bacteria in meat from confined conditions has also alarmed many consumers, according to the food sustainability site greenerchoices.org.
While the study conducted by Professor Christine Nicol of Bristol University has drawn cynicism from many, the results typify what has been a dramatic increase in broader calls for sustainable agriculture and farm animal welfare. This momentum has spawned a slew of certifications that meet third party verified criteria for the humane treatment of farm animals.
The rapid growth of labels such as 'Certified Humane', 'American Humane' and 'Global Animal Protection' exemplify this trend, according to the website freefromharm.org.

Rez and Child of Eden creator Tetsuya Mizuguchi has claimed that games can "change the world", and believes the medium is heading towards "sense-o-rama".
Speaking at TEDxTokyo, Miziguchi argued that games have a "very strong potential" to inspire positive change in the world, adding that they "can change negative to positive".
Game designers are using "the power of the game" to make connections with the real world, Miziguchi claims.
"When you play a game, from some disaster or someone's attack on you, you have to change - better, better, all the time," he said.
He went on to highlight the importance of vibration, inputs (presumably motion controls) and increased resolution, stating that soon we will "not be able to find the difference between real and artificial images".
Ultimately he believes games are to become sensory experiences.
"When the senses cross over, it evokes emotion and stimulates your imagination," he explained. "In the near future all games will be like a sense-o-rama."
Miziguchi has been known to push boundaries himself, using music and rhythm as a core gameplay mechanic. The Kinect-enabled Child of Eden is due for release in June, with a PlayStation 3 version to follow shortly after.
The TEDxTokyo speech in full is embedded below.
We've got a long way to go before games become the sensory experience Miziguchi has envisaged. Kinect still struggles to understand my commands of "Xbox, play!", forcing me to press start to activate my games like a chump. But we're getting there. Who knows what E3 has in store for Kinect, Move and the next generation?

BUENOS AIRES (Sep. 20)
Two synagogues here were rocked by bombs last night and early this morning. No injuries were reported but damage was considerable. A bomb exploded at the Sephardic synagogue on Camargo St. before midnight, a half hour after a committee meeting had ended. The blast destroyed a door and shattered all windows in the building and the windows of the congregation's medical institute nearby. The explosion was heard more than a mile away. Another bomb exploded about two hours later at the entrance to the Paso Synagogue, an Ashkenazi congregation. The synagogue was the scene last week of a hunger strike and demonstration against the excessive visa fees demanded of Jewish academicians seeking to leave the Soviet Union.

"Now that our nation is days away from these devastating cuts, I'm pleased he is visiting our region. I hope it is the first step towards working with the President to overturn the bill that he signed into law."
Obama is expected to deliver a speech on the sequester next Tuesday at Newport News Shipbuilding, which builds Navy aircraft carriers and submarines. The sequester's defense cuts are expected to felt particularly hard in that region of Virginia, and Obama is likely to call on Congress again to pass legislation that would avoid these cuts.
Obama has called the sequester a "meat-cleaver approach," and is trying to convince Congress to avoid the cuts and accept a Democratic proposal that would replace some of those cuts with new taxes.
But Forbes and other Republicans have noted that Obama has not put forward his own proposal for avoiding the sequester, even though — as Forbes noted — Obama predicted last October that the sequester "will not happen."
Republicans have blasted Obama's failure to lead on the sequester for the last several days. Speaker John BoehnerJohn Andrew BoehnerSpeculation mounts, but Ryan's job seen as safe Boehner warns Trump: Don't pull out of Korea-US trade deal GOP Rep: Ryan wasting taxpayers dollars by blocking war authorization debate MORE (R-Ohio) said everyone knew the sequester was coming, and yet Senate Democrats are only expected to consider a sequester replacement bill next week, with just a few days before the cuts take effect on March 1.
On Wednesday, Rep. Tom Cole (R-Okla.) said deficit and debt reduction is the "defining issue of this decade," and yet Obama has no specific plan on these issues. Cole noted that while Obama said he is "open to" reforms in the healthcare sector, that is not leadership.
"With all due respect, being 'open to' solutions is not the path to bold presidential leadership," Cole said. "President Franklin Roosevelt was not just 'open to' overcoming the Great Depression, and President Reagan wasn't 'open to' ending the Cold War. These leaders achieved historic progress because they led."

Rising Texas Star Plummets in New Poll
ABC Digital
Political News
Updated at
(WASHINGTON) — It's time to start thinking about Election Day 2014 and Texas state Sen. Wendy Davis might want to start thinking about how she can become the next governor, given the hole she's already in.
Davis, who gained instant national fame by trying to filibuster Texas' restrictive abortion law last June, is seeking the Democratic nomination for governor.
While it's expected she could win the primary, the general election is another story, according to a survey released Tuesday by Public Policy Polling. It shows Davis losing to Republican Attorney General Greg Abbott, 50 percent to 35 percent.
What may be particularly discouraging for Davis, even at this early stage of the game, is that PPP is considered a Democratic-leaning poll service.
It's believed she needs to attract a significant majority of independents to defeat Abbott as well as gain a healthy chunk of GOP crossover voters.
A PPP survey conducted last July had Abbott up by only eight points.
Even if former GOP gubernatorial hopeful Debra Medina runs as an independent, it's only expected to cut slightly into Abbott's lead.
