Phil Kinnane | November 6, 2013
The COMSOL Conference 2013 Rotterdam was well-attended and highly informative. The keynotes were the high point of the event, and they were excellent examples of multiphysics applications. The sophistication of the modeling work presented by Alwin Verschueren of Philips Research Laboratories in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, and Holger Ernst and Christian Schröder of mieletec FH Bielefeld, Germany, was truly spectacular and kept all the attendees enthralled.Read more ⇢

The COMSOL Conference 2013 Rotterdam attracted 418 multiphysics users from across Europe. It was the first time that our conference took place in the Netherlands and as a result, we saw a lot of new faces this year among the participants. I would like to thank everyone who attended the event for making it a wonderful experience and show you some impressions of the conference here on the blog.Read more ⇢

The COMSOL Conference 2013 Rotterdam came to an end last Friday. After dinner on the second day, six contributions were awarded for their outstanding work: three in the Best Paper category and three in the Best Poster category. The moderator of the awards ceremony — Belgian engineer, stand-up comedian, and COMSOL user — Filip Van den Abeele compared COMSOL Multiphysics to a Swiss Army Knife. After looking at the diversity of subjects that is displayed in the award winning papers […]Read more ⇢

This year, over 260 multiphysics enthusiasts joined us for the COMSOL Conference 2013 Bangalore. While we did see some familiar faces, it was exciting to see plenty of new users at the event. We were able to capture some of the good moments on camera, and would like to share a selection of the photos with you here on the blog.Read more ⇢
Prajakta Sabnis | October 25, 2013
After having excellent poster and oral presentation sessions at the COMSOL Conference 2013 Bangalore, winners for the top papers and posters were announced during the award ceremony. Selecting the best ones was indeed the toughest decision that the Program Committee had to make. It was observed that the presenters had conducted rigorous analyses using COMSOL Multiphysics, and many of them also had experimental validation for their work. Now I would like to congratulate the winners once more, and allow you […]Read more ⇢
Nandita Roche | October 23, 2013

The COMSOL Conference 2013 Boston finished up on Friday last week. There were lots of excellent posters and user presentations, and some enriching conversations during the coffee breaks. On Thursday, our three keynote speakers took to the stage and treated us to each of their multiphysics simulation stories. Here's a round-up of who presented and what they shared with the audience.Read more ⇢
Phil Kinnane | October 14, 2013
On Thursday evening of the COMSOL Conference 2013 Boston, winners of the top papers and posters were presented with their awards. Reading through their papers and posters, I noticed a common theme: they all included experimental validation of their simulation results. While modeling provides crucial insight and understanding, as well as the opportunity to design and optimize your applications and processes, its credibility often depends on whether results test well against known results. The award winners at the multiphysics conference […]Read more ⇢

It is not unusual for new suspension elements to be subject to a small amount of oil leakage. It may occur that the shock's pistons or stanchions have a light film of oil on them. This is entirely normal and will not have a detrimental effect on the performance of your suspension.
Noises coming from inside your suspension elements are not unusual during the first 300km and do not constitute a fault.
If spring elements are leaking and lose considerable amounts of fluid or oil, or if a spring element does not work properly, cease using the bicycle immediately.

(RNN) - The air we breathe can have a great impact on our health. Unfortunately, nearly half of U.S. residents live in areas with unhealthy air.
According to the American Lung Association's State of the Air 2013, more than 4 in 10 reside in counties with unhealthy levels of either ozone (smog) or particle pollution (soot) — the most common air pollutants that can cause asthma attacks, heart attacks and even premature death.
However, some areas have improved greatly, according to the report. Eighteen cities had lower year-round levels of particle pollution, including 16 cities with their lowest levels recorded.
While ozone higher in the atmosphere helps protect the earth from the harmful rays of the sun, ground-level ozone is not emitted directly into the air, but is created by chemical reactions between oxides of nitrogen and volatile organic compounds in the presence of sunlight.
Emissions from manmade sources, such as vehicles and industrial plants, are some of the major sources of these building blocks of smog, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.
Breathing ozone can trigger health problems such as chest pain, coughing, throat irritation and congestion. It can worsen bronchitis, emphysema and asthma. Ground-level ozone also can reduce lung function and inflame the linings of the lungs, and lung tissue may become permanently scarred if exposed to it repeatedly.
Particulate matter, also known as particle pollution, is a complex mix of very small particles and liquid. It is made of several components, including acids, organic chemicals, metals and dust.
The smaller the particle, the more likely it is to enter the respiratory system and cause distress to the heart and lungs. The EPA is particularly concerned about particulates with a diameter of 10 micrometers or smaller.
Particulate matter can be divided into two categories: inhalable coarse particles, such as those produced near roadways and dusty industries, and fine particles, which are found in smoke and haze.
Carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas, is emitted from combustion processes. The gas can harm by cutting the amount of oxygen given to the body's organs and tissues. At extremely high levels, carbon monoxide can cause death.
Nitrogen dioxide forms quickly from emissions from cars, trucks and buses, power plants and other equipment. In addition to contributing to the formation of ground-level ozone, and fine particle pollution, the gas is linked with a number of adverse effects on the respiratory system.
Sulfur dioxide, created from emissions from fossil-fuel combustion at power plants, is linked with many adverse effects on the respiratory system.
Lead is a metal found naturally, as well as manufactured. Because of the EPA's efforts to remove lead from gasoline, lead emissions from motor vehicles dropped by 95 percent between 1980 and 1999, leading to a marked decrease of lead in the air between 1980 and 1999. Currently, airborne lead is usually detected near lead smelters, ore and metals processing, as well as aircraft operating on leaded aviation gasoline.
To limit adverse health effects, people should take heed of the air where they live, via the EPA or local weather forecasts.
In places where unhealthy air is expected, limit physical activities outdoors, especially in peak ozone hours during mid-afternoon or early evening.
Help reduce air pollution by conserving energy at home and in the office.
Reduce emissions produced by gas-powered motors by keeping them in peak working condition, and try to cut the amount you travel by carpooling or planning travel wisely.
Use chemicals wisely, opting for paints and solvents with low volatile organic compounds, and dispose of them properly.

Videos uploaded here should only be about zines. Not about the stuff that you write about in your zine, but about zines themselves If you see ones that aren't like that, it's just because I haven't gotten to them yet.
You are welcome to link or embed your Youtube or Vimeo videos in your blog or in a status update.
Thank you!
We Make Zines is an online community for zine makers and readers. Although there are many social networking sites out there, there is little that focuses on zines. We all have our facebooks or blogs, but those accounts are filled with friends from work, from the third grade, people who don't know what a zine is and some who probably don't care.
This space creates a place that focuses on the zines. I want this place to be less about personality and friends and more about the zines - what we produce and read.
You can create a profile, list your zineography, post images of zines, partake in the forums, find other zine writers, read about new releases, read reviews from your favorite zine writers and leave comments about the zine you just read on the actual zinesters profile.
You can modify your page how you want. You just move the components around on your page to make them how you want them.
Use this space to connect, report, review and tell us about new stuff. Do keep in mind, however, that posting about the same thing repeatedly will be considered spam and not accepted. Members who do this will be banned.
Almost all of the content in this site is open to the public. You can read it all without needing to create a profile. Profiles that have been inactive for over a year may be deleted.
Please read and follow these guidelines while you're on We Make Zines.

Good question! This can be confusing for a lot of people, and a big part of the reason for the uncertainty is that there is no industry standard definition of a smartphone. In general terms a smartphone is a mobile phone that offers advanced features, often similar to the capabilities of a personal computer.
Basic features of a smartphone include e-mail, Internet access, document editing, and they grow from there. A smartphone will run an Operating System, which allows it to run different programs or applications (apps).
To become more familiar with the features of your phone you should consult the owner's manual or discuss the features with the representative who helped you purchase your phone.

(July 28, 2014) – – Tennessee Shakespeare Company (TSC), the Mid-South's professional classical theatre, today announced its 2014-15 schedule of plays, which includes three by Shakespeare, the Southern Exposure Series, a continuing partnership with Dixon Gallery & Gardens, a new summer partnership with the University of Memphis, and a new Musical Works Festival sponsored by the Broadway licensing company of Memphis, Monty Python's Spamalot, The Color Purple, and All Shook Up: The Music of Elvis Presley.
The season features performance programming year-round for the first time in TSC's history.
Producing Artistic Director Dan McCleary plays the title role in Shakespeare's Richard III over Halloween in Germantown Performance Arts Center, followed by a festive musical hall production of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night in Dixon Gallery & Gardens in December. The Sixth Annual Valentine's Gala, with a Broadway headliner to be announced, plays February 14, 2015, in GPAC. The Tuesday Literary Salons return in the spring with Kate Chopin and William Faulkner. TSC then partners with the University of Memphis to present Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream on the University's mainstage during the solstice weeks of June. The U of M mainstage will also host the exciting Memphis>Broadway: A New Musical Works Festival in May, June, and August, sponsored by New York's Theatrical Rights Worldwide.
"For the first time in our organizational life, we are now able to present a wide-ranging performance season as we have been doing with our innovative, four-season education programs," says founder, Mr. McCleary. "This expansion is in line with our initial strategic plan, and it allows us to present important, all-new productions and projects in three distinct geographies for our patrons.

New York City has big plans to join in on the party when New Jersey hosts the 2014 Super Bowl at Met Life Stadium.
New York's piece of the Super Bowl spectacle will include closing part of Broadway for a football fan festival.
"Super Bowl Boulevard" will stretch from 44th St. down Broadway to 34th. St.
"New York City is already the nation's Super Bowl champion of tourism destination and next year around this time hundreds of thousands of fans from across the country and around the globe will converge on our region to see the NFL's best," said Mayor Bloomberg. "All these activities are going to show our city's best face to people from around the world and will make being in New York for the Super Bowl truly memorable."
The game's media center and the televised NFL Honors awards show also will be in the city.
Bloomberg says the festivities will show the city's best to people from around the world.
Goodell calls the plans as big, bold and unique as New York City itself.
"While we can only fit 80,000 fans into MetLife Stadium for the game in East Rutherford, New Jersey, we look forward to hosting hundreds of thousands of people at different attractions and events during Super Bowl Week, throughout all parts of the area."

(RNN) - The New Year's Eve is more of a figurative endin'. PPP is concerned with literal ones - like the loss of 1984's most magnum of opuses from our video streamin' service.
Netflix dropped a slew of fine films Wednesday, among them Platoon, Titanic, True Grit and, most important, Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo.
For the few that haven't seen it (and if one finds themselves as one of those few, one should be ashamed of oneself) it's the continuin' tale of rich girl Kelly and her pals Ozone and Turbo. This time, they're poppin' and lockin' with a purpose: to save the Miracles Community Center.
Editor's note: The PPPollsters' taste in movies is skewed by bein' … err, being children of the '80s.
Ok, so it's not high art. It has to be the best sequel name ever, though. It's so good, it improves any film title with a "2" suffix.
Shrek 2: Electric Boogaloo. The Godfather Part II: Electric Boogaloo. Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan's Electric Boogaloo.
Who doesn't want to see those? And B2:EB taught us things, like:
What does this have to do with anythin'? Not much, really.
But if it makes people feel better, here's a broad theme to vaguely connect this to ACC hoops: Much like Breakin' 2, the non-conference schedule is gone. Also like the movie, it had some moments that were plain bad - BC's nine losses, UNC's free throws, Pitt's laughable schedule.
But we'll miss both because they taught us things and mad skills and nostalgia or somethin'.
PPP is lookin' forward to conference play startin' Saturday, when every game will have two teams worth watchin'. We're sure we'll find somethin' better to check out on Netflix as well … when we're not checkin' out the quality programmin' on (insert this TV station's name here), of course.
Hey, new Dexter.
20 points, four rebounds, two assists, zero turnovers Saturday vs. No. 8 Villanova (W 78-62)
Tyler didn't have as much fanfare coming in as Duke's Jabari Parker and some other first-year guys, but his play has been as impressive as any of them.
Putting the ball in his hands is as good as putting it under lock and key. His meager 1.2 turnovers a game would be amazing for any point guard. It's unheard of for a freshman.
He doesn't have elite speed, but he cut through the Villanova defense with a surgeon's precision all night. Even his misses were productive; the defense collapsed around him leaving his teammates open for tip-ins and dunks.
21 points, five 3-pointers, three steals Saturday vs. No. 8 Villanova (W 78-62)
Like Ennis and the guy we'll talk about next, Cooney fills a need on his team and doesn't try to do too much. He relishes his role as a 3-point specialist, running around the baseline looking for screens so he can get open.
His release is as fast as anyone's, and he can fire with the smallest of windows left open by defenders.
Two points, four rebounds, two assists, two blocks Saturday vs. No. 8 Villanova (W 78-62)
This week's rankings have more Orange on them than a Minute Maid ad starring John Boehner. That's because the 'Cuse knocked off a top-10 team, and no other ACC squad beat anyone worth mentioning.
BMK finds his way here by being a defender who clogs the lane, always blocks out for rebounds and blocks or alters any shot that comes his way.
18 points, 10 rebounds, two blocks Sunday vs. Tulsa (W 85-74)
There's the Dez we expected this season. Injuries for the Terps forced him to play some point guard, and he was trying to get others involved rather than looking for his shots early in games.
With Seth Allen returning and Roddy Peters developing, the junior can get back to doing what he does best - overpowering teams with his strength on the dribble drive.
30 points, seven assists, six 3-pointers, two steals Sunday vs. Canisius (W 87-81)
An academic matter caused leading scorer Jerian Grant to leave school, and the Irish weren't playing that well when he was there. Atkins falls into the role of Alpha Dog now, and he's going to need more performances like this to keep his team's season from becoming a complete debacle.
19 points, eight rebounds, two assists Monday vs. VMI (W 80-50)
The Keydets may not be a signature win, but the Tigers did hold a team averaging nearly 90 points a game to only 50. Jordan stepped up on offense when leading scorer K.J. McDaniels sat with foul trouble.
He may keep seeing an increase in minutes and shots with fellow guard Devin Coleman announcing his transfer last week.
24 points, four 3-pointers, two rebounds, one assist Sunday vs. Charlotte (W 58-55)
Knock down a game-winning 3, make the list. We hope to see a little more ball distribution from the senior guard, but if he's hitting his shot it's hard to argue about it.
12 points, nine rebounds (five offensive) Monday vs. Loyola, MD (W 71-48).
Donnavan didn't get to swat any shots last game - he only played 17 minutes - but he's been plenty obnoxious to opponents in the paint, averaging more than two blocks per night.
Two points, nine assists, three rebounds Tuesday vs. Maryland-Eastern Shore (W 82-66)
We've enjoyed watching young, talented guys like Emelogu and Devin Wilson play hard for the Hokies, and senior Jarell Eddie has rediscovered his jump shot. Expect the boys from Blacksburg to upset at least one middle-of-the-pack ACC squad this season.
Ben gets the nod here because he found a way to help the team when his shot wouldn't fall, finishing with a season-best in assists.
23 points, eight rebounds, two blocks Saturday vs. Eastern Michigan (W 82-59)
He's managin' to stay productive while gettin' used to playin' with his teammates. Jabari is probably NBA bound, but he could end up breakin' more records than Ice-T by stickin' at Duke for four years.
Man, Ice-T looks 14 in that movie. We feel old.

Foscarini Twiggy 24.81" H Table Lamp with Empire Shade
We are sorry, we have no reviews to displayWrite the first review
The Foscarini keynote is research, into forms and materials, as well as ideas. Established in 1981 in Venice, Foscarini started out by exploring the opportunities offered by Murano glass. The management assures brand identity and coherence by careful conservation of its Murano heritage, whilst being ever ready to consider new objectives and to exercise its rare capacity for talent scouting.
The company works with both established designers who've created new trends and with younger, emerging exponents of alternative styles and approaches. This makes for a highly original catalogue and one of the most varied in the sector. Over the years, the range of materials used has expanded to include satin-finished glass, polyethylene, wood and aluminium, as well as patented materials such as an exclusive textured glass-tissue and carbone fibre composite.

1. Find 56 "layer pieces" that will be then become our "Main Blocks".
2. Cut these down to be 9 3/4" square.
3. Next you can now find 42 "layer pieces" that you will then cut into 4- 5" squares making them your
"Secondary Blocks".
4. Find now 26 "layer pieces" and cut hem into 2 -5" squares. These will be your "Border blocks" now.
5. Lastly you will need 4 separate 5" squares to be your "Corner Blocks". These squares can be leftovers from your "Border Blocks"- just make sure that your corner blocks are a different pattern and color than the neighboring "Border Blocks".
***The hardest part of this quilt is keeping everything organized and labeled. I have found that a little piece of masking tap works best. I labeled my blocks by rows and then by the number block of that row, IE. A1, A2 and so forth and B1 and B2. Get the idea? If you do label your rows and blocks it will make everything run a lot smoother and faster for you. ***
c). Pin the other two down.
Second quilt:
Baste and quilt as desired. Use your Jelly Roll leftovers as your binding. There should be enough for both of your quilts. If you are a little short, use your remaining layer cake pieces.
I hope you enjoy these quilts as much as I do! Please send me an email (email@example.com) with pictures of your beautiful creations!

if you want to read about the whole story!
Experience in soldering is important. If you want to really keep costs down, a mill is helpful, but that work can be outsourced to a local metal shop.
Step 1: Get/Make a power board and control board.
You could print the picture from this link and somehow transfer it onto a piece of heavy blank PCB, and etch it with a dremel if you have a ver y steady hand. The dimensions are 8"x6". This link also has the G-code that you can use to etch with a CNC mill or you could give the G-code to a machine shop.
Picture 2 and 3 below is an example of an early power board I made with a Dremel.
You can get a control board from me or you can make the control board in your favorite PCB layout software using the schematic here::
And here are some pictures of the PCB layers:
A predone control board is Picture 1.
Pictures 7 and 8 are the power board top and bottom. The 8 solder spots are just where vias were added.
Once you have the 2 boards, you can go to step 2.
I can not download the schematics for the control board. Please help.
The schematics are available here:
Hope this helps you. :)
i am from india, want to build electric car as well as a bike.

thanking you.
My email address is firstname.lastname@example.com
I leave in Mauritius.
I need a motor controller for 24 volts that will run the thing either from a wired throttle or eventually a servo output from an RC receiver OR an actual servo mechanically coupled to a pot that is wired to the controller (This should give perfectly isolated power from the vehicle's 24 volt system and the RC's 6 volt system, yes?)
I WANT to have the option to run it via RC or to be able to plug in a wired controller because the vehicle will be large enough to sit on when complete.
Can someone please suggest a source for such a controller? I DO NOT have the original controller from the Mobility Scooter, or I would gladly just use it. I know I could buy another controller for the chair or a similar model, but I would like to see what else gets suggested, first.
Thank You!
I'm working on electic car project in Algeria.
Many thanks,
Just a thought, you could eliminate a lot of voltage spike issues by mounting the controller as close to the motor as possible. Any time the length of the wire between the motor controller exceeds the diameter of the wire, the collapse current becomes significant. Since Vpeak = di/dt, and you have a peak current of ~500 amps, if your switching time is <1ms which I'm guessing it is, this will result in a spike of 500 000 volts! These voltage spikes can damage the control circuitry. This is assuming that you are having voltage spike issues to begin with. Regardless it is typically a good idea to mount the power control board as close as possible to the motor.
Not that I doubt you, but where are you measuring the spikes. The ones that I am referring to is the reverse against the driving fets from the motor and supply cables to it. If you're getting results around 25 volts then you have done a damm good engineering job and kudos to you sir.
ps awesome response time
Another issue is that the voltage spikes are a result of firing into a reactive load, which is more like a motor prevented from spinning. A freewheeling motor (which I heard) will not cause inductive kickback as much as if you lock the parking brake and do it, you should try that.
A wise teacher of mine who makes giant stepper-motor controllers (and Aerco pre-amps) says that the key to protecting your fets is a combination of small and large diodes (they have different properties) and resistor-capacitor snubbers and most importantly, MOV (Metal Oxide Varistors) which are your first line of defense.
But i definitely know that the spikes are worst when the motor is stalled.
It's my senior project for college. Great excuse to rip around campus with a less than legal electric car!
I'm pretty sure every wire I've ever used was longer than it's diameter.
A quadrant is the measure of motoring and generating, in forward and reverse.
1st quadrant. is motoring forward, 2nd quadrant is motoring backwards, 3rd is generating backwards, and 4th is generating forwards.
You can implement 1st and 2nd quadrant with a relay, you can't do 3 and 4th without a full bridge.
So essentially, can you do regenerative braking ?
Lets not let small things like that derail a movement to the right direction
You won't be tootin' the horn enough to make an appreciable difference in battery pack life, they tend to be under 75W and that for a second or two, but it is possible you could be doing it often enough to be a nuisance. ;)
The main way to be safe on a motorcycle is not by making people hear you, it's by making them see you. People have to look around to drive while their ears may be occupied by a cell phone, stereo, etc.

Revision as of 13:10, 13 August 2013
The Challenge of the Iron Ring
The Iron Ring is a symbol of prowess (and only prowess) in rapier fighting, currently there are five Rings, one per ratio of Kingdom, in the Middle Kingdom, East Kingdom, Kingdom of Ealdormere, Meredies, and Northshield, and the only way to acquire one is to challenge the current ring bearer. The format of the challenge is fixed and shall be strictly followed to insure this does not alter from its original intent.
To declare the challenge the challenger declares 'I request the Challenge of the Iron Ring'.
The proper responses are 'I accept your challenge' or 'I am forbidden from accepting your challenge'.
The fight for the Iron Ring shall always be best 3 out of 5 fights to allow for the occasional lucky shot.
The Iron Ring may only exchange ring bearer's once in any given day. If another challenger requests a Challenge to the new ring bearer, the ring bearer is required to respond 'I am forbidden from accepting your Challenge'. However, an existing ring bearer may accept up to three Challenges in a given day, assuming the ring bearer is the victor of each preceding Challenge that day. Only the first Challenge is the ring bearer required to fight, the second and third are optional and should only be fought if the ring bearer thinks they can show as much prowess and stamina in the later two Challenges as the first. A challenger may only Challenge for the Iron Ring once in a given day.
The 'Challenge' can only be made while both participants are fully in dress rapier armor (non-period practice armor is not acceptable) and there is still opportunity to fight that day.
The 'Challenge' must be (reasonably) met before said rapier armor is removed or the ring bearer forfeits his right to the ring to the challenger. (reasonably means use common sense here, if it is not possible because of unforeseen acts of god leave it at that)
Since the ring bearer must choose the appropriate time, it is always the challengers right to choice of weapons. However the weapons must include a rapier (case of dagger is excluded, this is rapier prowess recognition).
The Challenge must meet its Kingdom's rules for tournament combat. (including no RBG's)
The ring may not reside outside of it's Kingdom's borders, it will revert to the previous ring bearer if the existing ring bearer moves from kingdom(s) or stops playing.
The Iron Ring shall be worn prominently while in period armor so potential challengers may know who is the current ring bearer (my recommendation is wrap the chain around your belt and wear it as a favor).
No two ring bearers may challenge each other.
Lastly, it is the duty of the outgoing ring bearer to make sure the incoming ring bearer is fully aware of these rules.
As Premier, I will be making sure the original intent of this challenge is maintained and that the rings stay in circulation.
One Ring To Rule Them All...

Crysis and Crysis Warhead Head to SteamAs the September 16 release of Crytek's sci-fi shooter Crysis Warhead (PC) approaches, Valve and Crytek today announced that both Warhead and the original Crysis will soon be sold through Valve's digital distribution client Steam.
Said to go up for pre-order this weekend, Crysis and Crysis Warhead are slated to hit Steam by mid September. No price points were provided.
Faylor's Take: Opening up Crysis and Crysis Warhead to the Steam audience is a smart move for Crytek, especially given the low overheads of digital distribution.
However, don't get too excited about the idea of Crysis publisher EA bringing its major games to Steam. As with Valve's own The Orange Box, Crysis and Crysis Warhead are published through the EA Partners program. Going by the announcement's wording, the Steam debut of Crysis seems to be more of a Valve and Crytek, not EA, thing.

August – September 2013
This webinar will discuss the challenges confronted by battered women as they consider whether to seek a custody/parenting time order from a court. In making decisions about mediation, negotiation and/or litigation of custody issues, battered women must consider the risks posed by the batterer to the children during access, any risks both to the battered woman and children at exchange, whether these risks can be mitigated by supervised exchange or visitation, and whether a 3rd party, such as a friend or family member, can safety supervise or if supervision should be done at a center. Immediately after separation, battered women may want to see a temporary custody order in a civil protection order. But it may be that the batterer is not interested in custody of the children and poses no risk to them. In this case, seeking a custody order may not be necessary or can be sought at some time after the crises and emotions of separation have somewhat abated. Battered women need to know the law, the court system, the inclination of judges, the options for supervision (and the risks of supervision center staff judging her protective parenting negatively), the likelihood that a judge will respond swiftly to a batterer's violation of a custody order, the kinds of behavior that constitute "a change of circumstances" that may be the basis for a modification of a custody order, and the portability of a custody order within the state and across state lines – among other things.

At its best, the process of community assessment is both an effective community organizing tool and also a process for creating concrete change. Many interagency teams are eager to analyze practices and case files together, but some communities are challenged when it comes to committing to change and implementing those changes. Preparing for implementation from the beginning stages of a community assessment can pave the way for success in implementing changes the assessment recommends. Join us for an insightful discussion to learn about key strategies for successful implementation of recommendations and findings.

|PART 1 of a 2 part series:
Women are among the fastest growing criminal justice population. Currently, there are over one million adult women involved in the criminal justice system. The reasons for their involvement are as varied as their pathways into and contact with the system. A consistent thread throughout the lives of justice-involved women is trauma resulting from domestic, sexual or other types of violence. Throughout their lives, justice-involved women may encounter various criminal justice practitioners and service providers charged with assisting them prior to, during, or after incarceration. It is critical to understand that women have life circumstances that are unique to their gender that require specific interventions. Obtaining a better understanding of what contributes to their incarceration is at the core of helping them transition back to their communities, reducing recidivism, and achieving improved outcomes.

|At year-end 2007, there were more than 1.27 million women in prison or jail, or on parole or probation in the U.S. As of 2009, approximately two-thirds of women in state prison were incarcerated for non-violent offenses including drug, property, or public order offenses. According to the Centers for Disease Control, nearly 3 in 10 women in the U.S. have experienced physical or sexual violence and/or stalking by a partner. Histories of economic and social marginality, substance abuse, mental illness, physical and sexual abuse in childhood and/or as an adult (including adulthood abusive families and battering relationships) have contributed to women's criminal justice involvement. Connecting reentering women with community-based support services designed to deal with their unique challenges is critical to their long-term success.

A strangulation assault may leave no visible external injuries such as bruises or marks. Over 50-80% of strangulation victims do not present visible, external injuries. While external signs and symptoms of strangulation may be difficult to detect to the naked eye, new technology is available to assist and detect underlying physical injuries incurred from a strangulation assault. This technology can also be applied to other areas of the body where bruises or injury may not be visible.
During this webinar, the presenters will discuss Alternative Light Source (ALS) technology and Negative Filter software programs used with digital camera systems and explore how they might be used in examining victims who have been strangled or beaten. ALS technology may be used to identify many types of evidence that would otherwise go undetected under standard lighting conditions or in daylight, such as semen, urine, blood, teeth marks, and fingerprints.
The presenters will also review research conducted to investigate how such technology has been used in cases involving strangulation and other forms of injury for increased identification, and discuss the potential outcomes and challenges associated with using this technology for evidence gathering purposes. Case examples will also be presented and resources provided, for current research using ALS for documentation of injury.

In February, The Sentencing Project released the report, The Changing Racial Dynamics of Women's Incarceration, written by Marc Mauer. This webinar, presented by the report's author, will discuss the major findings of the report including how from 2000 to 2009 there was a dramatic shift in the racial composition of the women's prison population and that incarceration rates for African-Americans dropped sharply from 2000 to 2009, especially for women, while the rate of imprisonment for whites and Hispanics rose over the same decade. The declining rates for African-Americans represent a significant shift in the racial makeup of America's prisons and suggest that the disparities that have long characterized the prison population may be starting to diminish. Mr. Mauer will discuss reasons for these changes in racial disparity among women in prison and offer recommendations needed in order to better understand the possible reasons for the changes and to address racial disparities in the use of incarceration.

Faculty will explore the various ways that critical systems have historically betrayed the trust of battered women and sexual assault survivors. The three institutions examined in this webinar are higher education, the U.S. military and the criminal legal system. In failing to institute and implement protections contained in law and policy, these institutions have breached the social contract made with survivors. The broken promises publicized by the institutions, promises of justice, opportunity, safety, and accountability, have induced survivors to step up and out, taking risks to safeguard themselves and their children and to escape the violence and coercive controls of their assailants. The betrayal of the faith invested in these institutions by survivors has too frequently placed them in enhanced peril, and has sometimes compromised the relationships of advocates with the survivors they serve. Faculty will explore both the betrayals and strategies to end the systemic failings/malfeasance of these critical systems.

At 71, Martha Stewart has decided to join an online dating site to find love.
The domestic diva told the Today Show on Friday that she had started to fill out a profile on Match.com, but had a change of heart and never moved forward. The story went viral.
Today, Stewart appeared again on the Today Show announcing that she will become one of the 40 million single Americans looking for love on the Internet. Stewart said she loves dating, but hasn't been in a long-term relationship for several years.
Will guys find Martha Stewart's online dating profile intimidating?
Even celebrities can use a dating coach, so here's my advice for Martha Stewart' online dating profile, as well as for other moms and grandmothers who are looking for love online.
What should Martha Stewart's profile look like?
Create a Catchy Screen Name
Although Stewart told the Today Show that she was intending to use her real name. I disagree. Just like all of the other millions of daters, I believe that Stewart should have a catchy screen name to find her dream guy. It would be less intimidating. Some suggestions would be:
Don't Lie About Your Age
Although Stewart is 71, she says emotionally she feels 45-50. I hate to break it to you Martha, but most women brag about looking younger for their age in their profiles and it turns men off. Saying "I'm 71, but feel like I'm 50 would be wrong." Those sayings are too cliché in the online dating world. If Oprah said that 50 is the new 30, then Martha can feel like 70 is the new 50, but she should keep that to herself.
Don't Become a Cougar
Stewart should be concerned about saying she's looking for someone young. It might send a signal that she's a Cougar looking for a younger guy that she'd support financially. Instead, I believe Stewart should describe the activities that she likes to do and what she'd like to share with her date. Men would then get the signal that no couch potatoes should apply. Instead, Stewart should list her desired age range instead, such as 65-75.
Don't be too cutesy
Stewart completed the section on what she was looking for, describing her ideal date as "youngish" and "outdoorsish," really smart, and successful. A Stewart's written over 70 books, her editor would slash those words that don't exist in the dictionary. Instead, I think she should say she's looking for an active guy who likes the outdoors to hike and spend time in the garden with. Perhaps she'll end up kissing in the tomato patch.
Post 3 -7 Photos, Not an Entire Album
The ideal number of photos that Martha Stewart should post is about 3-5. Sure she has magazine spreads and novels, but she should resist the urge to post an entire album on her profile. Her primary photo should be a close up on a good hair day looking happy, and she should add a few photos in her garden, outdoors, and doing activities that she enjoys. She should steer away from posting photos of her extravagant homes as it would be too intimidating to a man, or not complain if "Gold-Digging" men start to write to her.
If she's not successful on Match, perhaps Martha Stewart should consider joining Senior People Meet, http://www.seniorpeoplemeet.com/an online dating site for 50+, owned by IAC, who also owns Match.com.
Hopefully for Stewart, her new book, Living the Good Long Life, will include finding someone online to grow into the digital sunset with.
What would your advice be for Martha Stewart?
Didn't find what you were looking for?

Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum. The most common initial symptom is a painless sore called a chancre (say "shanker") that develops on the genitals.
Syphilis can be easily cured with antibiotics. If syphilis is not treated, it can eventually lead to serious health problems, such as blindness or heart problems.

Hand Knits in Action
Thank you for all of the sweet comments about my DROPS cardigan! In spite of a few quibbles with it, I am quite pleased with the outcome! And the yarn! Oh, the yarn. You all need some Queensland Kathmandu DK Tweed. Did I mention that it's the same as Jo Sharp Silkroad DK Tweed? I suspected as much but a trip to my LYS confirmed it: the Jo Sharp yarn color numbers are exactly the same as the Queensland color numbers. Coincidence? I doubt it.
I thought I'd distract you this morning with some hand knits in action:
This Bea Ellis hat and Lamb's Pride scarf I made Aaron are the only things I've knit him that see reliable wear. To be fair, they're the only things I've knit him that are very nice. You should see this sweater I made him pre-blog – it's positively hideous. In any case, his gloves aren't very warm and I thought I would make him a pair of thrummed mittens for nighttime dog walking. He's long maintained that mittens are far inferior to gloves in terms of dexterity but then again, dog walking requires little of that. And certainly, there will be very little range of motion in these babies. I got the idea from Jenna and then Pam had to go and cast on for some and, well, here you go.
In a rash of vacation startitis, I also cast on a few more projects. At least the rest of you can blame holiday knitting. I swore off that this year so I have no excuse. Below, a top-down raglan in Beaverslide wool and the second Drunken Bee to match the sock Stella so ably knit for me. I keep casting on for more because none of these are (yet) purse projects. The sweater was ideal until it grew too big to fit in the purse. The sock was great for the ribbing but I haven't yet memorized the pattern and so I can't knit and do anything else. The mitten pattern is easy to memorize and nice and portable but the thrums are decidedly not easily transportable.
I'm not even going to add these to my Ravelry project list until they're done because I don't really want to see my WIP list go up. What denial, eh?
12 comments so far
Knitters are experts at rationalization and denial, aren't we?! :)
I love the Katmandu/Jo Sharp Aran (haven't used the DK) – I have a box of the Katmandu all set for making Arwen…
Gotta love the denial. It makes all those piles of WIP's go away… :) My trip to Webs I may just have to pick up some of the Kathmandu. It looks heavenly….
I'm so tempted by the thrums, too. I have no need for them in Portland really, but they just look so cozy!
Ooh, and I spy me some pond scum! YAY.
those thrummed mittens are HOT HOT HOT! and i do mean that literally as well ;)
I stopped adding my WIPs to Ravelry because the total would have been ridiculous. This is also why I no longer update stash acquisitions in Ravelry. Speaking of stash acquisitions, I just bought enough Kathmandu Aran Tweed for 2 sweaters. It's just a little ridiculous.
It's hard to find good purse knitting sometimes. I'm struggling with that too :)
So WIPs don't exist if they're not on Ravelry? Embrace the WIPs– it's more fun that way :)
Forgot to reply to your last post regarding the bind-offs. I think that sometimes designers make decisions based on accessibility rather than suitability. A beginning knitter may understand bind-offs, whereas k2tog, ssk, etc. will look scary. And it isn't, but we all begin at the beginning.
Man, there's nothing better than seeing those you love staying warm with your knitted items! Great pic of dad & baby!
Yeah! Welcome to the Thrummed Mitten Club!! They're going to be so nice. :)
What an adorable photo!
Sweet picture of your family!
Beautiful hat! I love handknits in action, especially on men.

Black Dogs Face a Hard Choice at Shelter

We love our BBD (Wilson a 3 yr old retired racing greyhound)! Shelters that have trouble adopting out BBD might want to take more of an active part in matching dogs with adopters. Both of our recently adopted dogs (the other is a beagle) where shown to us as dogs that would compliment our live style from the shelters (ie kid and cat friendly). We made the choice to adopt from local shelters that took the time to learn their dogs' personalities and could help guide the adoption decision. The other shelter in our area could not help guide us to dogs with the right temperament for our family.

I have two Black dogs at home and they rock!

I was stunned to learn that big black dogs are hard to find homes for. It's always been the opposite for me: I'm attracted to BBD's. I have one, a non-pure-bred black Lab who was a 'gimme' out of a littler of fourteen pups from a farm down the road. She has a lovely big woof and is part of our 4-footed security system, yet is also quite affectionate. Early on she took on 'Comfort The Natives' as her job description, and always knows when one of us needs a puppy -- even a 90-pound one -- cuddled up on the couch, her big head in a lap, looking up with eyes that ask: "Doe this help?"
I was recently approached by an acquaintance who has a big black mostly German Shepherd rescue dog; she thought she would not be able to keep the dog and exercise him properly due to her knees. In the end, she decided the dog was too special to give up, (he is, I'd have him in a heartbeat) and is resolved to make arrangements that will allow her to keep him, happily for them both.

We are the proud owners of a beautiful black and brown puppy.... who will eventually grow into a Beautiful Big Black Dog. He isn't agressive or destructive. On the contrary, he's very affectionate and playful. Most people I know have BBD's. A dogs color has nothing to do with its behaviour, or character... any more than it has with people.

I absolutely love my BBD. I am the proud owner of my third Black Lab mix. I have adopted them from our local shelter and one came from a local rescue group. Let's face it Labs are smart, easy to train and are just the most fun dog to be with. The Black ones have the shiniest coats and we always get compliments on how beautiful he is.
So check out the BBD at your local shelter or rescue. You won't be disappointed.
Keep adopting!

I recently adopted a mixed black and tan doberman. She is the most loving and social dog I have ever seen. I had no idea black dogs were less "atractive" for adoption. But after walking my dog around town it does not surprise me. My dog is not big and still looks like a 4 month old puppy, but almost everyone assumes first that she is a boy, and second, that she is aggressive; all because she is black.

We had a tan pit mix and went back to Animal Welfare League here in Chicago to get her a brother. My son fell in love with a friend's black pitt and said he wanted a big black dog. We found my Big Boy! Jet black and shinning like a new pair of patent leather shoes-GORGEOUS! My hubby wanted a brown shephard mix but he and our 1st dog didn't have a good greeting. I had to explain to him that someone without a dog already will adopt that shephard but odds were the black dog would never get adopted. The kennel tech told him how many BBDs get passed over. When we were walking out with the dogs, a woman almost peed her pants when she our new addition! She was shocked we had just adopted that"big black dog." We brought our 70lbs, pitt/lab mix home and have loved every minute with him! He thinks he's a lap dog and I don't mind. He's one big teddy bear who wants nothing but love, and treats. I will add, I have no concerns walking my babies any time day or night- thanks to my BIG BLACK DOG!!!

I honestly did not know that black dogs were less wanted... Sort of explains part of the reason why our black pekingese was in a foster home for almost 2 years. Even though she's not big. We never ever thought about what color of dog we wanted, we just wanted a dog with a big personality, and boy we got it! I just found out on an interview with a rescue that black dogs were hard to find homes for... This reminds me a lot of the black slave times.(Why does the color of somebody's skin or coat matter?)
Other than being hard to see at night(We have a bright pink collar on ours and her tags make lots of noise so this isn't too much of a problem) I can't see any differences to having a black dog in relation to a white dog or a tan dog.

Our family just adopted a beautiful black lab from a high kill animal shelter in N.C. He is our third lab and is making a wonderful addition to our family. How sad the black labs and other BBD's are so often overlooked and are first to be scheduled for euthanasia. Thanks for your help in getting the word out to the general public. Do not overlook and ignore these wonderful pets.

A lot of people are dumb. Usually, no one wants one of these dogs unless it's in the news. I remember Patrick, the miracle dog. Everyone wanted to adopt him b/c of the high profile story. But no one wanted the other dogs that were listed that needed homes. There's thousands of Pitties, black dogs and senior dogs just like him that are being put down everyday that no one wanted. B/C they aren't "celebrity dogs", no one wants them.

I have been blind almost my entire life, so I cannot speak to whether black dogs are pretty or not, but I can say my brother has a black dog and he is the smartest, most lovable dog you could ask for, so whether they are attractive or not shouldn't matter. Picking out a dog is a lot different than picking out a pair of shoes. It's the personality of the dog, not the color that matters. Maybe animal shelters could increase the adoption rate for black dogs by requiring people to don blindfolds before they can view the dogs! Just an idea.

I adopted a big black dog who at been at the humane society for over one year. He was found by a shelter worker when he was about 3 months old, so one can say he never had a real home.
Well, my big black dog is a gem. He is well adjusted and gets along well with children, dogs and cats. He was a bit reserved at first, but his true personality emerged. He's quite the character!
To all those people who didn't take the time to look at and consider this wonderfuldog: your loss is my gain.
Please consider Big Black Dogs, you may be missing out on something wonderful.

I just learned of this terrible prejudice today after meeting and falling in love with a friend's 2 "new", beautiful, loving black rescue dogs - who had been in a shelter for a year. I couldn't believe these beautiful dogs had taken so long to be adopted, and I said so. To my shock, she then told me that the shelter worker said that there was a huge prejudice against black dogs, and that many more black dogs than other color dogs never get homes and had to be put down. I thought she must have been misinformed, and it sickens me to learn that it is actually true. To know my friend's loving pets nearly were euthanized due to such stupidity made me- and my family- just feel sick. In fact, I feel quite the opposite: when I went to meet my friend's dogs and saw their beautiful soft black coats and smiles (yes, smiles!), I was totally smitten, and actually my first thought was how much I just LOVE black dogs. My first dog, Judy, was a black poodle/spaniel/"whatever" mix with the most wonderful temperament and loving spirit. Mom never worried when I went out to play as long as I was with Judy, from the time she first "adopted" me at 3 years old, till her death when I was in third grade. (Of course, I was told she'd gone to live on a farm, yet I was devastated and cried for days.) I truly don't understand such inanity - or insanity. We've since had other wonderful dogs: black, white, tan, brown and white, etc., and they have all been dear, beautiful, and loved "ferociously", but none has been more wonderful than my dear Judy. I agree with all the comments I've read here tonight. Black dogs are beautiful.

I just love the statment from Anonymous on Jan. 25 "dogs are just little people in furry coats. Each dog has his/her own personality just like the two legged humans do. If you have never volunteered at a Rescue or a Humane Society you should. They all need as much help as they can get to prevent dogs and cats from being put down. There are just not enough homes for all the pets born. We all need to get as many dogs and cats spayed and neutered as we can. If you cannot volunteer please help spay and neuter pets through your vet or low cost spay neuter programs. The black dogs and cats need the most help as we have all learned. Our 7 dogs are part of our family and are not just pets. I volunteer at Rescue K911 in Alabama and help pay for spay neuter assistance through the LMHS and Wayside Animal Hospital. Please help in your area. The dogs and cats in all colors thank you from the bottom of their little loving hearts.

My parents have three big, black dogs (all rescues) and I have one of my own-- a one-eyed one! I thought the rescue people were going to throw me a party when I said I wanted the big, black, one-eyed one! He is the world's greatest (and possibly strangest) dog and I wouldn't trade him for all the flashy-looking dogs in the world. He's gentle with children and people with special needs, can act intimidating when he needs to, adores the elderly and has helped me raise newborn kittens. He's been bitten by children, roughly petted (umm, thunked) by people with no motor control, been called every name in the book by sweet elderly people with dementia and just keeps coming back for more. It's as if he knows the odds were stacked against him. When it comes to dogs, I say the bigger, the blacker, the better!
Also, don't forget about black cats-- they have a lot of the same problems but studies have shown that they actually make the best pets. There's something in the black coat that effects their personalities-- no joke!

I have been looking for my dog since 9/25/11 when he got out and followed his mother who bred him here at our house when he was 8 mos. old. He's lanky, stranger shy, longer hair on neck, legs, an aussie, golden retriever mix, un-neutered, name Coby, collar with tag and phone #. Thought we had him and had humane traps set up but was another neighbor dog though people say the one they saw was him, not the one trapped. Most sightings in Danville, NH, but also Fremont, Raymond, Sandown, Kingston. Since I do not see an upload link for a photo of him. You can search his name "coby" in NH/announcements/lost and found and a posting will show his photo as I've been posting regularly. Heartbroken still and am still searching knowing anything is possible.

We adopted "Max" from our local Humane Society shelter because he was one of the best behaved and friendly of the many dogs up for adoption. It turned out he was fully housebroken (not one accident in over a year with us) and is great with kids and a wonderful companion and playmate. Everyone who meets him makes a comment about what a "sweetheart" he is and, as with many retrievers, he is everyone's best friend.

I have a Cavalier King Charles in the Blenheim coloration (piebald). This is a mostly white dog. Everyone loves Charlie. Strangers stop me on the street and ask to take his picture. He is very, very sweet.
It now seems that he is at least in part so nice because of his coloration. It isn't a coincidence that he's mostly white and he's so damn adorable. And it isn't a coincidence or irrational prejudice that black dogs are less so. It's a pleiotropic effect of melanin synthesis. Foxes bred for docility turn piebald. Piebald fish and birds are also less agressive . Darker animals are less completely socialized. White or piebald animals make better pets. The preference by potential adopters for light coloured animals is rational.

Everybody sees my black dog and loves her. Strangers stop me on the street and want to pet her and take her picture. We adopted her from a shelter that didn't have any knowledge of her history. Her estimated age was about one year. She is the sweetest girl. Rational preference? More like snobs who prefer a lighter dog so that they can photograph them easily. I saw my dog and knew she was perfect. She's a black lab. I wanted a small dog, but the second I spotted my larger black dog, my exact words were, "She's the one."

I have yet to see a scientific study that proves your point of white dogs being friendlier than black dogs. The Black Lab has been America's most popular breed for many years, because they are WONDERFUL. That's also, unfortunately why so many end up in shelters. It is a numbers game.

It makes me so happy that there are people out there making people aware of this. Thank you!! About a year ago my dad told me about the problem with BBD and in the fall when I started looking at a shelter I saw how real it is and it broke my heart. I then to decided to adopt a BBD and it was the best decision I could've make. I ended up with the most loving and sweet dog. I definitely plan on adopting more BBD in the future.

I have a black pitbull mix.. she is a beauty and we actually picked her because of her dark coat. she is the sweetest dog i have ever met and everyone always comments on her coat and how beautiful she is. Its sad that even with dogs people discriminate without trying to get to know them first.
