American Chilly Video Game
Consider this: You are in the desert between Los Angeles and Las Vegas and you have been driving 23 hours 45 minutes and 19 seconds straight. Your gas gauge is next to empty, you are hungry, and you desperately need sleep, so you pull over. Is this real or are you hallucinating? Fortunately, the last place for the next 100 miles to get Lodging, Chili, or Gas is somewhere nearby, American Chilly. Oh, and your GPS on your computer just crashed, so you need to wait for it to restart. Will you survive the Cactus People, Aliens, Giant Ants and other strange creatures? For the best experience, turn up the volume on your computer, and play in the dark. Have fun and rock out with special guests, Pewdipie, Markiplier, Vanoss Gaming, and JackSepticeye. These are our favorite. Let's Play Bros!
The lyrics to the songs tell the story of American Chilly and what will happen when you get there.
The first song you hear is Psycho and on Level 1, you hear American Chilly: It's about Morgen Enright, owner of American Chilly, drinking the well water which is cursed, the entire valley floor is polluted with peyote and it trickles down into the water table. He hallucinates and he believes there is a snake monster in the toilets. He spikes the customers chili with laxatives so they have to run to the restroom. He uses them as bait so that the monster will attack them while they are on the toilet. This gives him the chance to either electrocute the monster or hack it up, however he is really killing the customers.
On Level 2 the song Cactus People is about the Indians getting killed in 1848 and the curse.
On Level 3 is the song 'Finger It Out'. It's about using your fingers to text people.
Level 4 is the song 'Horrortox', it's about getting addicted to the substance.
Level 5 is 'Heartattack'. Morgen Enright, in the musical, has a heart attack from drinking alcohol and mixing it with peyote.
Then there is the victory song you can hear by typing in the code "hellyeah" enter.

Research ICT Africa recently released a new report which shows that while mobile data prices are on a steep decline in most African countries, they have been constant in South Africa at R149 for 1GB in 2014.
The research firm, which conducts research on ICT policy and regulation, tracked the price of 1GB of mobile data across 21 African countries.
The results showed that South Africa's mobile data prices are not declining as fast as many other countries on the continent.
It further shows that dynamic bundling in other countries such as Namibia has not yet been offered by South African operators.
MTC in Namibia offers a prepaid product, Aweh Aweh Gig, that requires a weekly activation fee of R30 for which the user gets 700 minutes, 700 SMS messages, and 1 GB of data.
This translates to R120 per month for 2,800 minutes, 2,800 SMS messages, and 4GB of data, which is less than what South Africans pay for 1GB of data.
"The model is quite simple: MTC is profitable at a price of R120 per user and does not care about how many minutes its customers use, or how many SMSes they send," said Research ICT Africa.
"This gets close to the flat-rate pricing which is becoming more and more common in other markets."
Value for Money Index
The Broadband Value for Money Index measures the average download and upload speeds as measured by the Net Index (Ookla), and divides this average by the price of 1GB of data use per month.
A higher ranking on the index is attained either because the average speed is higher, the price is lower, or both.
MTN Cameroon has, for example, the second lowest data price but due to poor download and upload speeds achieves a low ranking on the Value for Money Index. Cameroon does not yet offer mobile broadband but instead offers EDGE or 2.5G speeds.
Although Vodacom and MTN are among the more expensive operators in Africa, they fare well in terms of value for money and are among the top 10.
Cell C's ranking has continued to drop since its initial 9th place in the first quarter of 2014, falling to 21st place in the second half of the year.

CHE.496/2008/Schedule/Metabolic pathway engineering
From OpenWetWareJump to navigationJump to search
Metabolic pathway engineering
- Discussion leader: Patrick
- Bioengineering novel in vitro metabolic pathways using synthetic biology link
- Chemical routes instead of enzymatic routes prevail in industry because assembly of enzymes are expensive, the biological system is complex and not well understood, cellular systems go for homeostasis. Multiple enzyme systems have been designed and built with favorable results – however other circumstances prevent the use of these systems in industry.
- This paper presents an approach to the design of gene systems that code enzymes to produce desired molecules.
- Figure 2: a diagram of what the design cycle is for designing these systems of enzymes
- Start out with the assembly of the system (overexpression of required genes, dna synthesis, etc.)
- collect concentration data on intermediates, products
- fit a model to the data to predict behaviors
- determine points in the system where further expression, etc. can be used to increase product
- adapt the kinetics of system members and loop back to the beginning
- For experimental modeling of metabolic systems - there are many kinetic parameters for purified proteins, but their is a big lack of data comprising of the kinetics of metabolic pathways (there a a few exceptions to this - E.Coli, yeast, etc.
- The modeling of the data produced and subsequent analysis of the forces (van der waals, etc.) can be used to predict behaviors and subsequently devise a manner to increase the desired product in the metabolic pathway.
- Synthetic biology for synthetic chemistry link
- Synthetic biology impacts the development of the components to engineer cellular metabolism and chassis that hosts the chemistry. Metabolic engineering begins with the introduction of genes that encode enzymes which take advantage of locally produced molecules in the chassis metabolic network to produce desired molecules.Enzymes can catalyze in a single step what may require many steps utilizing synthetic chemistry methodologies. Coupling multiple enzymes eliminates the need for purification of intermediates.
- The Essential Components Required for Chemical Production: that are described in the article
- Chassis
- Vectors
- Promoters
- Simultaneous Engagement of Multiple Genes
- CAD Tools
- Debugging Routines
- Example Case: Artemisinic Acid produced via E.Coli
- the methodology of utilizing the mevalonate pathway in E.Coli is listed with a diagram provided. You guys already know this from my presentation.
- There are much better articles that describe this particular project in far more detail (contact me for pdf's or look it up on google)

K9 Operations, Inc. protests the award of a contract to Britt's Bow Wow Bed N Biscuit under request for proposals (RFP) No. 20024820SGK, issued by the Department of Homeland Security, Bureau of Customs and Border Protection (CBP), for commercial kennel facilities and services in support of CBP's Canine Enforcement Program. K9 asserts that the agency improperly evaluated Britt's proposal and that the agency contracting official was biased against K9.
We deny the protest.
B-299923, K9 Operations, Inc., August 6, 2007
Matter of: K9 Operations, Inc.
Patrick R. Currey for the protester.
Melissa K. Erny, Esq., Department of Homeland Security, for the agency.
Jacqueline Maeder, Esq., and John M. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
Where solicitation did not impose specific requirement that proposed facility have overnight parking approved by city, agency properly made award without regard to whether awardee's facility had such approval.
K9 Operations, Inc. protests the award of a contract to Britt's Bow Wow Bed N Biscuit under request for proposals (RFP) No. 20024820SGK, issued by the Department of Homeland Security, Bureau of Customs and Border Protection (CBP), for commercial kennel facilities and services in support of CBP's Canine Enforcement Program. K9 asserts that the agency improperly evaluated Britt's proposal and that the agency contracting official was biased against K9.
The RFQ, issued as a small business set-aside on January 19, 2007, provided for the award of an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract for a 10-month base period, with four 1-year options, to the firm submitting the lowest-priced, technically'acceptable proposal. The determination of technical acceptability was to be based on driving distance (including travel time for canine officers from the kennel to the workplace), and compliance with the statement of work (SOW) requirements, including, for example, facility requirements (e.g., the size and construction of indoor/outdoor kennel runs), sanitation requirements (such as bathing and flea and tick prevention), food and feeding requirements, and other general requirements. RFP at 2-3. Under the general requirements, the SOW specified that [the] contractor shall provide an adequate number of secure parking spaces
for CBP personnel to arrive and exchange vehicles for scheduled work.
The number of vehicle parking spaces will be equal to the number of
CBP canines housed at the kennel. A one to one ratio is required. The
kennel operator should provide a safe and lighted area to load and unload
canines. The parking spaces must be designated for CBP use only and
twenty-four hour access to the parking area will be required.
RFP, SOW, at 6-7.
The agency received six proposals. By amendment issued April 13, the agency clarified the evaluation terms and procedures and requested revised proposals by April 23. RFP Amend. 2, at 2-3. Following receipt and evaluation of revised proposals, the agency awarded a contract to Britt's on June 11.
K9 maintains that Britt's facility is technically unacceptable because it does not meet the 24-hour parking access requirement specified in the SOW. Specifically, the protester alleges that Britt's facility lacks the authorization for overnight parking required by the city. K9 concludes that Britt's should not have received the award.
The protest is without merit. While a solicitation provision that requires a contractor to possess a specific license is a definitive responsibility criterion, compliance with which is a necessary prerequisite to contract award, Mobile Medic Ambulance Serv., Inc.--Recon., B-251545.2,
K9 also asserts that the award decision was flawed because it reflected bias on the part of the contracting officer. In support of this argument, K9 points to events under a prior contract, including, for example, the agency's failure to authorize a new contracting officer's technical representative (COTR) in writing; unannounced visits and informal inspections; a formal inspection outlining two violations conducted by other than the assigned COTR; and the subsequent removal of CBP's canines from the protester's facility and the utilization of Britt's facility for an interim contract.
Government officials are presumed to act in good faith, and a protester's contention that contracting officials are motivated by bias or bad faith thus must be supported by convincing proof; we will not attribute unfair or prejudicial motives to procurement officials on the basis of inference or supposition. Worldwide Language Res., Inc., B-297210 et al.,
There is no evidence of bias here. The factual support presented by K9 consists of agency actions in connection with its prior contract that K9 apparently believes were unwarranted. A protester's mere disagreement with an agency's actions establishes neither that those actions reflected bias at the time, nor that they translated into bias in the current evaluation and award decision. See TEAM Support Servs., Inc., B'279379.2,
Finally, K9 contends that the agency structured the evaluation, including mileage costs and travel time, in such a manner that, given its location, it could not realistically compete from a price standpoint, and that its status as a disabled, veteran-owned business was not given consideration in the selection process.
Under our Regulations, protests based on alleged improprieties in a solicitation that are apparent prior to the stated deadline for submitting offers must be filed before that time. 4 C.F.R. sect. 21.2(a)(1). Here, the RFP, as amended, clearly set forth the evaluation provisions about which the protester complains, and the solicitation was not set aside for service-disabled veterans. Therefore, it was apparent on the face of the amended solicitation how the agency would evaluate proposals, and that an offeror's status as a service-disabled veteran would not be a factor in the evaluation process. This being the case, any protest by K9 challenging the evaluation provisions had to be filed prior to the extended April 23 closing date for receipt of revised proposals. Since K9 did not protest until June 27, its protest on these issues is untimely, and will not be considered.
The protest is denied.
Gary L. Kepplinger
General Counsel
[1] We note further that, even where a solicitation contains a general requirement that the contractor obtain all necessary licenses and permits to perform the work--the protester points to no such requirement in the RFP here--the contracting officer is free to make award without regard to whether the awardee is licensed under local law at the time of award. Mobile Medic Ambulance Serv., Inc.--Recon., supra.

By JEANNETTE CATSOULIS
Published: February 27, 2009
With Romance
Opens on Friday in Manhattan.
Directed by Gene Rhee
1 hour 28 minutes
''The Trouble With Romance,'' an airless, fragmented feature that's been kicking around since 2007, opens on a hotel-room tryst between an enthusiastic pretty boy (Kip Pardue) and a distracted blonde (Jennifer Siebel Newsom). Within minutes the woman has repaired to the bathroom for an imaginary chat with her ex while her bewildered lover wonders if he should hang around. You will probably be wondering the same.
In vignettes that range from grating to pointless to thoroughly disgusting (the title of the third segment speaks, noisomely, for itself ), four variously entwined couples navigate romantic crises in separate rooms of the same hotel. In one a married woman surprises her henpecked husband with an impromptu bondage session and a three-way with her office temp. In another a gorgeous prostitute donates her services to a heartbroken client as a reminder that love is priceless. Oh please: even Julia Roberts was smart enough to keep the cash.
Unlike Michael Knowles's similarly plotted and vastly superior ''Room 314,'' ''The Trouble With Romance'' is visually stagnant and tonally bewildered. As characters exchange platitudes and burp clich? the director, Gene Rhee (who also co-wrote), reveals a clouded eye and a tin ear. Or maybe he just has a lot of friends who actually say ''for reals.'' JEANNETTE CATSOULIS
''The Trouble With Romance'' is rated R (Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian). Girls kiss, men get stoned, and a photograph is defiled.

There are several things in this world that can really play into the social aspect of sex generalization. While it may depend on what society or culture you are brought up in, here are the top 5 things that EVERY male on the planet should know how, and be able to do with efficiency.
#5: Keep True to Your Personality
Being the person that you were meant to be in every scenario can be the most difficult thing anyone can do. So many males seemingly conform to the surrounding of others while immediately turning off the person that they actually are. This is especially true in social situations or in the presence of new or strange females. Never be afraid or unwilling to openly express the person you actually are. Do what it is that you want to do and stop conforming to the will of your peers. Being your own man makes you ultimately who you are. Changing your personality in the presence of others can ultimately lead to a social group full of people you probably don't even like in the first place.
Despite saying that, I don't care who you are, you better know how to do these next four things!
#4: Change a tire
Credit: annapunch226.blogspot.com
While this one may not be all too important, it may become an impressive necessity at one point in your life. Whether you are humming along on a moped or livin paid in your Escalade, there is always a chance that you can come across a flat tire. Sure, you may have roadside assistance that will come and save you in some scenarios, but sometimes it is just not the convenient option. Especially if you are on a long road trip, stuck in traffic, or driving out in the middle of nowhere, it may take hours for service to arrive and provide you with assistance.
Just imagine you are taking a girl out for the first time. (I hope you aren't driving her around on your moped, but if you can swing it, hey…..more power to you) Imagine now that you come across a random flat tire due to an unforeseen object in the road. You can either impress her by pressing the roadside assistance button and waiting patiently for what possibly could take hours…..OR, you could roll up your sleeves like a man, get out there, and change it yourself in half the time and without the wait.
#3: Defend and Protect your Female Counterpart in the Event That Scrutiny Should Arise
(Whether she be a friend or a significant other)

This comes in all sorts of different ways, shapes, and forms. There are countless survival strategies when dealing with the dangers that may come about on an almost daily basis. The one I would like to emphasize most though, especially at a younger age, is the protection against hawking, disrespectful, and antagonizing males that may be disrespectful to your relation.
Learn your own strengths and weaknesses when it comes to this scenario. Whether you are a world class body builder capable of intimidating the trolling menace with the very flex of your arms, the intellect with the outrageously witty and superior commentary, or somewhere between, find your niche when or if you're female comes victim to scrutiny of any sort.
Always remember to keep a level head during any scenario. Keep the objective and focus on the feelings of her. This means avoiding confrontation and arguement at all costs. Also remember that one option in her protection is avoiding some of the places that host to this type of scenario in the first place.
#2 Be able to self-provideCredit: vincesmarket.ca
This may come as difficult to some people to take in, but I feel that it is a rather important quality of any man. When I am saying provide, I am not talking about bringing home a bountiful paycheck or paying for a child's college education, I am talking about some of the things a bit simpler. A man should know how to provide some source of food or commodity in a completely self-attained and self-reliant manner. Whether it be growing vegetables outside, hunting, fishing, or countless other actions and skills, every man should be able to produce something outside of the cash scheme.
Don't get me wrong, bringing home a fat paycheck and supplying your family with the financial security everyone desires may be the American logic of sufficiency, but there is just something about bringing resources to the theoretical table in a completely self-attained manner that screams, "I AM MAN!"
#1: Be a gentlemanCredit: tjbrearton.com
Being a gentleman is something that every man needs to be capable of doing. While this quality does not need to be a blanket effect spread over all encounters, there will always be someone out there that is worthy of gentlemanly action. It is important to know how to treat a deserving person with the upmost respect and dignity, even if you break out these qualities on rare occasion. While this is yet another quality that can come into play on many different grounds, rude and ignorant behavior is for boys. A man needs to have gentlemanly qualities in order to even consider himself a man in the first place.

We at FASHIONOTES thrive when fashion and technology collide. Lets face it though, fashion and technology have been integrated with one another for a long time, maybe even longer than some of us are imagining. Well now for the first time, the Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology, is allowing us to experience this ever-budding relationship.
The exhibit, which is fittingly called Fashion and Technology, showcases the effects that technological achievements have had on the fashion industry. This ranges from the introduction of synthetic dies, to the incorporation of zippers in garments, to the wearable computer known as the LilyPad Ardunio circuit board. Fashion and Technology showcases the evolution of fashion throughout the past 250 years.
Like many other trends, fashion is driven by advancements in technology. For example, last month we introduced you to the Twitter Dress. A couture dress that displays tweets in real time across its bodice, a first of its kind. Or, who remembers Diane von Frustenburg's Spring 2013 runway show, where Google Glass made their first appearance? As technology advances so does the couture industry. What might be possible for the future of fashion is a captivating thought.
If you are in New York and feel like taking a stroll through the museum, be sure to tweet us your thoughts @FASHIONOTES! Fashion and Technology is on display now, until May 8, 2013.

The Top 5 Best Things About Being a JGCC Research Fellow
Editor's Note: Want to join the Joan Ganz Cooney Center team? Apply to be the 2016-2017 Cooney Center Fellow! We are accepting fellowship applications now through April 4, 2016.
This Fall, I became the newest Cooney Center alum. After completing my year-long stint as the 2011-2012 Cooney Center Research Fellow, I am now a post-doctoral fellow at the Annenberg Public Policy Center at the University of Pennsylvania. Having had a few months to reflect on my Cooney Center fellowship, I have gained some perspective on what made it such a rewarding experience. My first draft of this blog post was titled "The Top 100 Best Things About Being a JGCC Research Fellow," but due to space considerations I was forced to cut it down to the Top 5 (note: feel free to contact me for the remaining 95 best things). In no particular order, the five best things about being a JGCC Research Fellow are:
1. The mission
"How can digital media help children learn?" While this may seem like a simple question to many, acquiring the answers is complex, largely incomplete, and absolutely critical to children's education and well-being in the 21st century.
The mission of the Joan Ganz Cooney Center reflects precisely the reason I decided to pursue a career in children's media research in the first place. As an undergraduate Psychology major in 2003 I enrolled in Dr. Edward Palmer's "Children and Televisual Media" class at Davidson College. I realized then that children's engagement with media constitutes another context through which children learn and develop—just as they are impacted by their experiences in home or school. A position as a research assistant the following year brought me into the homes of many families from many varied circumstances throughout which I observed one constant presence: television. I was struck by an epiphany that occurred to Joan Ganz Cooney decades ago: as there is perhaps no other resource to which children's access and interest is so ubiquitous, television should be harnessed as a learning tool.
Ten years later we have witnessed an incredible revolution in digital technology—the "media context" of childhood has expanded to include cell phones, tablets, online social networks and virtual worlds, and video game devices that fit in the palm of your hand or can be operated without holding anything at all. As these technologies enable increasingly interactive, anytime-anywhere media engagement for youth, they up the ante on our original mission. Many different digital media are now being used by children in innumerable ways; how can they help children learn?
To spend a year working for an organization built around addressing this essential question, alongside others drawn to pursue the same goals, was truly a dream realized for me. The most rewarding moments of my fellowship were those in which I felt I was using my own knowledge and training to contribute towards the Cooney Center's fundamental mission.
2. Getting pushed outside your comfort zone
While the Cooney Center's mission was one dear to my heart, its methods were, at times, somewhat unfamiliar to me. What resulted was an unparalleled opportunity to learn and advance my research and writing skills. Joining the Center directly from graduate school, I was accustomed to writing for academics. Learning to convey important research questions and findings to parents, policymakers, media producers, via blogs, reports, and white papers, was an accomplishment of which I am particularly proud. The specific design of the Cooney Center and its independence as a "research and innovation lab" means that its ultimate stakeholders are children and families. As such, uncovering and disseminating key information to diverse audiences that are poised to make the most differences in the media children consume and the ways in which they consume it is what the Cooney Center does best.
3. The creative and supportive environment
Being pushed outside of one's comfort zone is particularly appealing when it occurs in a setting teeming with creative energy and replete with talented researchers, writers, producers, and Muppets! As a Cooney Center Research Fellow I was constantly exposed to new ways of thinking about the role of digital media in children's lives, while simultaneously provided access to individuals on the frontlines of children's media research, design, and production with invaluable perspectives to offer. I sat in on Sesame Street curriculum seminars as writers, researchers, producers, and outside child development experts met to discuss aspects of the next season's program. I traded insights and intriguing questions about children's e-books with the Sesame Worldwide Publishing team. I attended a meeting with representatives from JGCC, the Sesame Innovation Lab, Nokia, and AARP to discuss mutual interests in helping children and remote grandparents connect and learn together via digital media. And these are only a few examples. Spending the year in such a creative environment, with so much support from my Cooney Center colleagues and others in the Workshop was a top highlight for me.
4. The flexibility to pursue varied interests
Surrounded by so many creative opportunities daily, it may seem a wonder that I sat still long enough to get anything done during my fellowship. In fact, back in the world of academia, I am amazed at all I was able to accomplish during my year at the Cooney Center. In addition to the incredible support and guidance I received from my JGCC colleagues and other mentors, these accomplishments are owed to the flexibility Cooney Center Fellows are given to pursue what interests them.
In the early days of my fellowship, while helping to collect research for our QuickStudy line of research, I was bitten by the e-book bug. Executive Director Michael Levine and Research Director Lori Takeuchi worked with me to pursue this interest via a large-scale survey that queried parents about their attitudes and use of e-books with their children. When I mentioned my curiosity about how e-books and other tablet apps were being used to teach children with developmental disabilities, they encouraged me to visit the Mary Cariola Children's Center and write a series of blog posts about what I had learned there. This interest continues to thrive, and I have plans for an experimental study regarding children's e-book underway.
5. The people!
One thing that made my year as a Fellow particularly special was getting to work with the Cooney Center team. Though the staff is small, they are, to a person, dedicated to the mission of the Center. The team is comprised of members who are innovative, hardworking, and always supportive and encouraging. My Cooney Center colleagues strive tirelessly to enrich the lives and learning of youth through their efforts to understand and advance the educational potential of digital media; getting to join their ranks has been a true joy for me.
These and many other aspects of the fellowship made my year at the Cooney Center one of the most productive, rewarding, educational, and fun experiences in my life. Did they say the application came out today? I think I may just apply again…

Mayor Roariani is a character from the Disney Junior show Henry Hugglemonster. She appears in the episode "Roarsville Rules".
She first appears at the podium in Roarsville, making her speech about becoming the city's new mayor (Swifty Hugglemonster was the previous mayor). Just as Roariani was about to read from the rule book, Captain Hollander arrived to take her to the monster mayor's meeting in Growlsburg. Roariani left someone else in charge until she returned. Everyone agreed to put Henry in charge of the rules.
When Mayor Roariani returned from the meeting, she arrived to find Roarsville in a mess. Henry explained how hard it was to be a mayor and how everyone had trouble with the rules. Everyone volunteered to restore the city to the way it was, but Roariani allowed them to keep the hugglejuice fountain Cobby had built earlier. She later shared a cup of hugglejuice along with Henry.

There's nothing more invigorating than setting out on a bicycle on a clear, crisp morning. But, as the mercury drops, frigid fingers can quickly freeze out the joy of a cold-weather ride.
Fret not. A few simple gear essentials will keep hands warm while cycling, whether you're commuting across town or taking a long ride on the weekend. I've broken it down to a three-part layering strategy that will help keep you comfortable, even in the coldest and most blustery conditions.
Why your hands are cold
First things first. In cold weather, body temperatures drop and blood vessels in our extremities constrict in an effort to send blood and heat to our core. On a bike, inadequately protected fingertips may become painful or lose sensation, not only causing discomfort, but also affecting grip on the handlebars. Gloves provide insulation and warmth, helping to keep blood circulating.
Three easy pieces for the road
As with dressing for winter cycling, layering is secret to protecting hands from the cold. Here are my no-fail essentials (see photos at bottom):
- Winter cycling gloves: For extreme cold, choose gloves with an outer membrane that blocks wind and moisture. The "claw" design of the gloves that I own — actually part glove, part mitten — helps keep hands warm by bunching the fingers together. These gloves are filled with a synthetic insulator and backed with Windstopper® wind-proof fabric. Extended wrists with adjustable closures seal out drafts. For safety, remember that thick gloves may interfere with dexterity, so practice shifting and braking before you set out on your ride. Terry Split Mitt, $59
- Glove liners: On most days, the claws are sufficient, but I also carry a pair of light and snug glove liners. Besides providing an added layer of warmth, these protect my fingers when I remove the bulkier gloves to lock up my bike, adjust a zipper or switch bike lights on or off. I upgraded last year to a pair with touch-screen compatibility that allows me to use my smartphone without removing this layer. REI Liner Gloves, $19.95
- Hand warmers: My final piece of back-up gear for long rides on particularly frosty days is a pair of hand-warmers. The two that I like are the reusable, salt-solution-filled variety for short-term relief or air-activated, disposable warmers for longer hauls. Some gloves and liners are equipped with a pocket to hold the warmers over the top of your hands. Each type of warmer is compact and lightweight for easy packing into a bike bag, purse or pocket — just in case. Wonder Warmers Small Reusable Hand Warmers, $14.99 pair. Grabber Disposable Hand Warmers, $10 (box of 10 pairs).
Thankfully, you'll rarely need to deploy the complete "system," including the hand warmers. But now is a good time to accumulate the essentials so that you'll be ready for whatever winter throws our way. While thermal gloves may seem like a big investment, they last for years. And their value on a freezing winter morning? Priceless.

Hoptimists stand for happiness and optimism, qualities not so often viewed. The Gustav Ehrenreich designed couple Bimble & Bumble were re-edited, since they haven't lost any of their magic yet.
As the name already reveals, Hoptimists ensure good mood by hopping. Bumble is Bimble's brother and it delights with wakeful glimpses and acts cleverly. The design of the Bumble comes from the year 1968, but nothing changed regarding the happy principle since then: When Bumble is pulled down or pushed, it floats to the sides and up and downwards. Bumble simply spreads well-being and happiness – something hard to leave, once known.
The Hoptimists ensured themselves a place all over the world in the 1970ies with this simple, but genius construction. And they still prove that the idea doesn't age: The Bumble and Bimble figures are a great decoration idea in children's rooms or on top of baby cots. The small ones will be delighted by the hopping Bumble, but also grownups will smile by the charm of the Hoptimists-series' figure.
Bumble is available in different colours.

text: Furry Vengeance -- Film Review 9:21 PM PDT 10/14/2010 by AP FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Empty TWITTER Empty It might be true that no animals were physically harmed in the making of this ultrabroad comedy, but what about their pride? Combining well-trained critters, CGI and human actors who should have known better, "Furry Vengeance" is a collection of feeble jokes in the service of green themes. Sustainability never looked so stupid. While parents' minds wander, young kids will enjoy the slapstick, much of it involving pee and poop, in this tale of enterprising woodland creatures determined to save their home from developers. With no significant competition in the family-movie sphere, the Summit release should scoop up robust boxoffice coin when it opens Friday. Its associated social-action campaign notwithstanding, Participant Media -- producer of such socially conscious documentaries and features as "The Visitor" and "An Inconvenient Truth" -- in this case has opted for the lowest common denominator. For the target audience, too young to have seen Brendan Fraser in a truly good movie, the shrill shenanigans onscreen will suffice. Serving also as an executive producer, Fraser steps away from action-adventure territory to play doofus dad Dan Sanders. He's overseeing the development of oversize but ostensibly green homes in rural Oregon. His wife (Brooke Shields, playing the only grown-up in the film) and teenage son (Matt Prokop) are not happy to be transplanted from Chicago. What Dan doesn't yet know is that Phase 2 of the Rocky Springs project involves destroying the area's remaining forest. The animals, naturally, want no part of it. Led by a vigilant black-and-silver raccoon, they embark on a people-deterrent scheme. For starters, they set in motion a rustic Rube Goldberg device -- the film's only clever touch -- that uses pine cones, logs and one serious boulder against the invading humans and their vehicles, even when they're hybrids. The very vocal mammals and birds don't converse (or have personalities) a la Babe, instead communicating by trills and chirps and, most crucial, triumphant chortles. When he's not going mano a mano with the raccoon, Dan must deal with an evil idiot boss (Ken Jeong, who has done the same shtick in other films like "Role Models" to far better effect) and his right-hand woman (Angela Kinsey). Mainly he mugs, shrieks and runs around in silly outfits and visits a shrink (an ill-advised Wallace Shawn). From defecating birds to squirt-happy skunks, screenwriters Michael Carnes and Josh Gilbert substitute crude gags for humor at nearly every turn. Under the flat-footed direction of Roger Kumble, the story is a jumble of Apple product placement and wan message-mongering, with a few anemic visual references to Harold Lloyd, "North by Northwest" and "Braveheart." Massachusetts locations provide the sylvan idyll, if not the grand Northwestern scale. Animal wrangling by the Wild Bunch's Bobbi Colorado and Ken Beggs (critters and people were united in post) is notable in an otherwise routine production package.

Speed Reader
By Mary Walling Blackburn, Dorothy Cole, Ann Peterpaul, A. Sampson
Fredy Neptune: A Novel in Verse by Les Murray (Farrar, Straus and Giroux), hardcover, $27.50
My house is small, so I give away most of these review copies after I finish them. This one's a keeper. Murray's narrative poetry is easier to read than most prose, and certainly moves faster. The form serves as shorthand for what could have been a long, unwieldy saga in prose. Trimmed of the unnecessary baggage of setting and explanation, it's a fictional piece of oral history. A poet constructs sentences and phrases according to speech patterns and lyrical rhythms, and that's exactly how this book is written.
The story runs from a little before the beginning of World War I to a little after the end of World War II. The narrator is Fred Boettcher, a hyphenated Australian whose childhood language is German. As if being a German-speaking subject of the British crown isn't complicated enough, Fred develops leprosy while roaming the Eastern Mediterranean and eventually loses tactile sensation throughout his body. With the numbness comes phenomenal strength; our hero reckons it's because he can't feel the strain on his muscles.
Fred (a.k.a. Friedrich, F.W. Beecher, and Fredy Neptune the strongman, among others) may be numb, but he has feelings. He encounters some of the most horrifying events of this century and manages to be present for some of the best-known. Always trying to return to his family in Australia, he sails all seven seas, appears as an extra in Hollywood movies, and rescues a retarded teenager from castration in Hitler's Germany. And that's before breakfast.
Physically, he is largely uninjured by the violence that surrounds him, but he remembers everything and takes it all very much to heart. He goes everywhere and does everything, but rarely in first class. Instead, he finds out what trench warfare is like for the soldier at the bottom, what riding the rails is like for a starving hobo, and what welfare is like for the landless. He handles his forays into society with irony and his frequent descents with humor.
Get over your fear of long poems. Read this.
Architect and professor Daniel Willis is a romantic softie, so to speak, splicing his academic-speak with whimsical examples of real and imagined architecture (Christmas trees, Christo sculptures, claptrap gypsy dwellings and the Emerald City of Oz) and literary and musical references (ranging from Milan Kundera and the I Ching to Peter Gabriel). Willis does not choose these examples simply to amuse. He has an agenda, and it infiltrates each essay.
According to Willis, architecture and her posse of yes-man architects should examine what it means to dwell rather than simply to be housed. We should utilize construction materials that have an emotional history, and we should temper our fascination with technology. Willis calls for a world where "a building must not be reduced to its lowest common economy-driven denominator." Is this possible in a country that graciously accepts fake wood paneling, silicone breasts and cell phones? We love the Emerald City and its glimmering, money-colored spires. Therefore, it is debatable whether a majority of people would choose to return to gray, tornado-strewn Kansas -- where the breasts are real and a party-line telephone reigns -- for more than a weekend back-to-nature retreat.
Is Willis simply dreaming when he calls for an architecture that honors ritual and promotes conviviality? Does he grant architecture too much importance in the lives of people-who-are-not-architects when he proposes that a return to "meaningful" architecture will return meaning to our hectic and detached modern lives? Don't people always create meaning when and where they need it, be it a birth, death or cheerleading competition, in a castle, a suburb or the highly transportable yurt? I have seen photographs of people speaking in tongues in fluorescent-lit mobile homes, and seen squabbling, turned off and tuned out couples at the Hagia Sophia. Meaning is not dependent on beautiful, strong architecture, but if Willis' lectures/essays can inspire the proliferation of more beauty and imagination in the constructions around us, I'm all for it.
Poems of gentle beauty that resonate within the reader's mind demand to be read more than once to be fully savored, and so it is in this thin book of poetry by Sheila Cowing. At first glance she appears to be skimming the surface or teetering on the edge of personal revelation or discovery, too afraid to jump in. The reader senses a certain stiffness and formality. Upon reading more deeply, some of those frustrating outer layers begin to fall down, and a powerful message, cast in refined and elegant imagery, reveals itself. Such revelations are apparent in "Late Snow": "It's the land in repose. March is at work beneath the snow. The birds of my throat are afraid." Nature is a constant theme, which the poet handles very deftly, in spite of occasional lapses into heavy self-awareness.
The small things in life, such as the smell of an old bread tin, a rain-soaked vegetable garden, or a child singing in a cellar are mused upon in a striking and refreshing way. They are devoid of pedantry or artifice.
A sense of loss and its accompanying confusion are written about so vividly that the poet becomes very accessible. This is one of her main strengths. There is no wallowing in self-pity, or an insurmountable regret for what was. Instead, there is reflection, knowledge and sadness. This can be seen in a few lines from "You and I": "You and I are nearly over, you never knowing under, unruffled." In "On My 60th Birthday," Ms. Cowing speaks of pain: "It's only myself I consume with longing, the way my mother waited for some prince or for her ship to come."
The last poem in this collection is an ode to women -- for keeping memories alive, for passing down beloved simple objects, for nourishing attachments to daughters -- in sum, for keeping alive all the things women share. This is a fitting end -- like the lingering, closing chords of a sonata.
Due to my rapidly diminishing attention span, I have come to really enjoy reading short stories. These days, I prefer story anthologies over novels, television over films, and sometimes even commercials over regular television programming. Thankfully, the supply of short stories from publishers seems to have increased over the past few years, possibly because writers' attention spans have likewise diminished. Regardless, I have found this development to be a very good thing, and the icing on the cake is books like Who's Irish?
Who's Irish? provides an interesting perspective on the assimilation of Chinese culture in the United States and American culture in China. Jen's short stories sometimes fail to flow gracefully, but this flaw is balanced by an interesting and precise style. This is best demonstrated in the title story, an account of a Chinese immigrant and her American-born daughter. The story illustrates the conflict between the two resulting from the birth of her Chinese-Irish-American granddaugther. In this tale of humor and struggle, the reader receives an intimate portrayal of diversity and the effects of cultural stereotypes. This story is definitely the high point of Who's Irish?, and I hoped that the following stories would continue to chronicle the life of the mean grandmother.
However, the grandmother disappears, only to be replaced by an interesting and sometimes confusing cast of characters. A Chinese-American travelling in China as a "foreign expert" discovers his heritage and some quirks of Chinese culture lost in his American upbringing. His discovery coincides and is incorporated into the trials of a young woman grasping adulthood and the abandonment of her family. Though these are all separate stories, their themes and symbols, primarily dealing with Asian-American life, make this a cohesive collection.
If all short story collections were this good, I would never leave the comfort of my couch. I highly recommend Who's Irish? to anyone even slightly interested in culturally diverse experiences and conditions. These stories show off the author's ability to extract humor from ordinary situations and grasp kindness in ordinary people.

LIPEDEMA is an adipose tissue disorder that is commonly under recognized and often misdiagnosed as obesity. It affects over 11 million women worldwide. Women with Lipedema have an abnormal accumulation of fat cells which often present with a disproportionate appearance to the legs and arms (sometimes the abdomen and buttocks are affected). Unfortunately, physicians will suggest weight loss surgery (WLS) to help the patient with fat loss, however, this particular surgery will not have any impact on the abnormal Lipedema fat as it does not respond well to diet and exercise.
The legs have a common appearance of being column-like or have often been described as tree-trunks. Some women have referred to their lower legs and ankles as 'cankles'. Often, Lipedema is present in their mid-section, as well. Unlike regular fat, Lipedema fat can be very painful and can be progressively immobilizing if left untreated. Additionally, patients with Lipedema often have an increase in vascular fragility which can result in easy brusing upon something so simple as bumping into something. The difference between Lipedema and obesity is that the Lipedema fat does not respond to diet and exercise. Many women struggle with diets to try to get rid of the lipedema fat only to fail. It is NOT your fault! This type of fat WILL NOT respond to diets or exercise. This phenomenon is what is most frustrating to women who suffer from this disorder as they tend to diet and exercise 'til exhaustion - with no visible results.
Lipedema often presents itself during puberty and with other hormonal changes such as pregnancy and menopause. The only known treatment for Lipedema is Liposuction. Some other conservative treatments used to treat Lipedema are complete decongestive therapy using compression garments, pump therapy and manual lymphatic drainage but these only address the swelling component that is often present with Lipedema. These therapies do not address the abnormal accumulation of fat cells whereas Liposuction does.
We find that women with lipedema sometimes have pitting edema which can later turn into lipo-lymphedema (Stage 4) The pitting edema can happen over time with prolonged orthostasis and should resolve when the legs are elevated. Compression pump therapy works well for this. Most women experience swelling in the evening and while traveling. Lipedema sufferers often are faced with general fatigue and decreased skin temperatures in their limbs. Many women have shared with us that the areas affected by Lipedema are very cold. The texture of these areas can differ from fluffly spongy to very firm. There is also a possibility of loss of skin elasticity which can be emphasized after liposuction but can be address by means of skin tightening procedures if desired by the patient.
In early stages of Lipedema the upper body may remain slender while the lower body has a rapid increase of abnormal fat cell accumulation in the hips, thighs and legs. We find that the earlier that the Lipedema is treated the better it is in stopping the progression of it. When later stages 2 – 4 are present, the Lipedema fat can be found in the torso, abdomen, buttocks and upper extremities. The lymphatic system seems to be compromised which is evident by the swelling that is present. MLLD is a great way to wake up the lymphatic system.
Lipedema can cause serious depression and/or eating disorders as the women who suffer from it are continually struggling with diet and exercise which has proven to be non-effective. If left untreated, Lipedema can become progressively worse and the patients' gait can be compromised as well as having chronic joint pain from the excess fat storage on the body. If Lipedema progresses to a Stage 4, the patient can become completely immobile.
Lastly, many Lipedema sufferers have venous insufficiency and lymphatic system dysfunction. Addressing the vein status with a vascular surgeon is often suggested as is having manual lymphatic drainage therapy for about 6 weeks prior to surgery.
We understand how Lipedema can affect your life. Dr Perry has been effectively treating Lipedema with Liposuction since 1996. He is truly an expert in body contouring and shaping and would love to make a difference in your life. Additionally, two of our staff members have Lipedema so we are very familiar with the course of treatments that may be needed so that you can continue to live a productive and healthy life with your family, children and friends. We look forward to assisting you in this life changing treatment option.
Not all people have all symptoms and the symptoms vary significantly by person
Dr. Perry is aware of the importance of the proper diagnosis and is committed to making 'Lipedema' a well known diagnosis so that those who suffer from it can feel confident in knowing that their own doctor will be aware of the condition. He uses WAL technique and is always open to learning the newest cutting edge technology so that he stays current in the Lipedema and plastic and reconstructive surgery field.
If you feel that you may have Lipedema and feel that you are a candidate for surgery, please call our office to schedule an evaluation. If you are not local to Southern California, we can offer you a convenient photo and phone evaluation. Please call or email to schedule 562-315-5700

BEREA, Ohio — Browns quarterback Robert Griffin III broke a bone in his left shoulder and will miss at least eight games.
Griffin was injured on an 11-yard run in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 29-10 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. As he tried to get out of bounds, Griffin was drilled by Eagles defensive back Jalen Mills.
The team said Griffin will be placed on injured reserve — under new rules he can brought off the list — and will be evaluated in 3 to 4 weeks.
The 26-year-old returned to the game for Cleveland's final series, but only handed the ball off while favoring his left arm. RG3 is the 25th quarterback to start for the Browns since 1999, a roll call of rookies, veterans and free agents.
With Griffin out, Josh McCown will start this week's home opener against Baltimore.

During the holiday season, people think of gifts, food and family. Families gather together with the holiday meal being a main part of the celebration. It is also a time we give presents to each other, sharing with others to show we care for our family and friends. But the holidays are an especially difficult time for the families served by the Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano. People who need help from us throughout the year struggle as they try to make the holidays a special time for their family.
We at the Food Bank are lucky we live in a community that wants to help. The Food Bank has been working for nearly forty years to make the holidays a happier time for the families we serve in our community. We begin our planning in August by purchasing the food we will need for the holiday baskets put together by the agencies we serve. We work with local food pantries and soup kitchens to determine who they will serve and what they will need from us during the holidays. We are able to provide fresh fruit and vegetables as well as canned food and turkeys at no cost to the agency. We raise money so we can buy grocery gift certificates that allow families with limited cooking facilities to obtain the food they need for their holiday meal. Working with the pantries and soup kitchens in our community, we helped provide 14,000 meals to people last year, and more than 26,600 baskets went to families in need.
The holiday time is the busiest of all at the Food Bank, but we are able to do this work because the community gives. We have collection barrels in local grocery stores. Businesses and schools organize food drives. Scout troops, faith communities, swim teams and motorcycle riders from our local refineries collect food and raise funds. The number of drives increases every year, but we have nearly 800 locations where people can donate food to their neighbors. We must receive this community support because we need to distribute over 1.7 million pounds of food and over 900 turkeys during the holiday season.
You have helped make the holiday brighter for the families we serve every year because the community gives generously. Our committed volunteers help to sort and box the donated food we receive so that the generosity of the community during the holiday season continues to provide for the people we serve into the new year. Because the community gives so generously, we are able to make a difference in the holiday season and throughout the year.

How to get your license ?
Amateur Radio is a hobby which involves Government licensing.
In India, the Wireless Planning Commission, a division of the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology, conducts licensing exams through the International Monitoring Organization offices in major cities.
Anyone above the age of 12, can obtain their amateur radio license in India.
There are currently two classes of licenses granted to Radio Amateurs in India,
- General grade
- Restricted grade
The Exam Syllabus and the operating privileges between the two are quite similar,except for a few differences.
The Amateur Station Operator's certificate is awarded after a candidate has successfully cleared the licensing exam and has paid the necessary fees.
The licensing exam is consists of a Theory test and a Morse code test at 8WPM( for general grade).
The Theory test examines the candidates grasp of basic electronics, radio regulations, communication procedures, local and international law.
The Morse code test examines the proficiency of the candidate in sending and receiving the international Morse code at 8 WPM. The test is only for those opting for the general grade amateur radio license.
How to apply for an ASOC exam ?
Simply prepare the ASOC application in the prescribed format(use our application form generator for easy preparation) and apply to your local monitoring station of WPC. Addresses and contact numbers of these stations are available at their website http://www.wpc.gov.in/
Learning resources
You can download our study materials for the theory paper.
For learning code:https://lcwo.net/ is one great online resource to learn code systematically. Create a login and start today!
Where do we fit in?
We, at SIARS, liaise with the WPC to submit your application, train candidates, organize exams and help them obtain their licenses.
Do SIARS conduct classes?
Yes! but there won't be any regular classes. Normally we conduct a crash/intensive coaching for two days prior to exam. Candidates are supposed to learn with the study materials provided. In these classes we will revise previous question papers too.
Will i get morse code training in the above said crash course?
There will be a Morse code session in the classes, but it would be a test for proficiency only. Morse code cannot be taught in a day or two. You many need to practice at-least a month to get minimum proficiency in code.
How can i get the updates about the exam and also your activities?
Most of our activities will be listed here in this website.Exam/classes updates will be mailed once you are in the batch. We do also have a whatsapp group where we update about the exam, and our other activities. This group is also a platform for exchanging ideas, queries and meeting fellow friends. Only those who use whatsapp as a messaging/communication platform may ask us to add you there. It's a zero spam group!
