About Donna De Grado
Bob and I have enjoyed our vacation home for years. We own and operate a motel and rv park in Challis Id. We have 2 daughters and 2 granddaughters and 1 grandson. Which enjoy the cabin just as much as we do. Bob was born in Chicago Ill. and I was born in GA. But we have made Idaho our home for 37 years. We love the outdoors. Which include fishing, and hiking , riding our atv's and getting to spend time with our grandkids here at the yankee fork resort-cabin
Donna De Grado purchased this Cabin in 1999
Why Donna De Grado chose Stanley
We worked for years in Stanley id. Cleaning and restoring log homes. The cabin was just great for us to work out of. As we retired we realize we want others to share the great blessing that the Stanley basin has to offer. The SNRA is just down the road. We love going to all the different lakes in this area. Stanley id is the greatest secret of Idaho. The Cabin is quite and restful yet is close enough to the town that we can still enjoy that .
What makes this Cabin unique
We loved this cabin when we first laid eyes on it. It is right in the middle of the trees. We can sit on the front deck and watch the big game on the hillside or we can go to the back deck and watch the eagles soar overhead. Or watch the fox seek up trying to steal that last piece of food. Or sit around the fire at night and eat smores. We just love the quite. But we can still ride our atv's or take the kids fishing.

Nice Home, ImperfectLocation
Reading the description, I expected a quiet retreat across the street from the Yankee Fork of the Salmon River. Instead, the home was in an enclave of other cabins (mostly uninhabited) and not on the same street / "driveway" as the river. The riverfront , a block or two blocks away, is blocked for miles by the Yankee Dredge, huge machine-dredged piles of river-bottom stones piled up all along the roadside for miles. While of considerable historical interest, it is decidedly unlovely to walk along. The river is not visible and difficult to get to.
By car, the house is close to the Salmon River, Stanley, and Redfish Lake, and hiking trails. All of them afford great views and opportunity for hiking, rafting, boating, and fishing.
The house itself is decorated on the themes of the old mining West, fishing, local animals. It is kitschy and fun, well-equipped for relaxing, cooking, and sleeping. I had a great time reading local history and cooking out of a collection of pioneer recipes.
On the other hand, the swamp/evaporative cooler did not work consistently on our second night. We had been told not to open windows, so this made for a few warm hours (we were gone most of the day and only used the cooler when we returned). And swamp coolers require ventilation to the outside.
Hosts were available by text or phone and were very helpful, including giving us entry when we locked ourselves out on our first night there.
This is a beautiful area to visit, and I realize that, due to national forest, wilderness and recreation areas, housing for visitors is limited. Compared to cabins in Stanley, this location was very private, but I would choose a better location vis a vis the river, if possible, in the future.
Thank you for staying at our Cabin. I am sorry that you did not find the area as beautiful as you thought it would be. Most of our guest enjoy the fact that they are away from the hectic town. It is a wonderful place to ride your bikes, hike, ride ATV's or go fishing. The Yankee Fork River is across the Road maybe 1/4 mile. The old mining towns are very interesting.The Sunbeam Hot Spring is just down the road and everyone enjoys soaking in them. While Stanley and Redfish Lake do have much greater views they also have the bigger crowds and higher prices . We try very hard to make our guest feel as comfortable as possible and this is the 1st time anyone this summer has mentioned the Swamp Cooler not properly. We will look into it right away. --Thank you again
Great cabin! Even larger than I expected. WiFi was great so I could even work a little (as much as I hate to admit it). Thanks so much for a great few days!
Yankee Fork Resort cabin was great for our stay!
This cabin is located in a small community of other cabins in various states of condition. This cabin was one of the better cabins in the neighborhood for sure. The fishing ponds just down the road were freshly stocked with trout averaging 12+ inches and our grandkids were catching them on every cast. We kept 7 trout and threw the rest back. Mosquitos were pesky and hungry so bring your mosquito spray! There is no cell phone service until you get to lower Stanley which we didn't mind because the point was to get off the grid for a few days. If you want to fish and explore the ghost towns and see the gold dredge this cabin is the perfect location!
Another great vacation!
This is the 4 time we have been able to come and stay at this amazing area and to be able to stay at this cabin. There is no other place we would stay. It's nestled in the yankee fork river area and has the most beautiful scenery around the cabin. The cabin has the all updated amenities you could ask for yet at the same time. It was clean, has high quality bedding so after a hard day of playing your able to relax in comfy. There are flat screens and satellite tv,wifi,phone for local calls to book your fun day trips, laundry and full kitchen. Nothing is left out. There is a nice BBQ and a campfire area with log sears and it is so quiet. You are close to natural hot springs and rafting trips, and of course the famous salmon river,and ghost towns to tour. You are right in the middle of everything fun to do. The owners meet are every need. We have already booked our reservation for next year. Visit the cabin, you won't be disappointed! Oh, and yes our dogs were welcomed too.
Great time with brothers and sisters-in-law
This was a great place to have a long weekend with my brothers and sisters-in-law. It was near some interesting side trips, but it was a great place to stay home and relax, too. It was very clean and each room was decorated with a theme. The furnishings were very nice and coordinated with each other rather than cast-offs that didn't fit into their main home. There was a tray with a nice white wine and 4 glasses waiting for us on the kitchen counter when we arrived. All the beds, including the hide-a-beds, were very comfortable. It was hot during the day (we were there the weekend before the 4th of July), but it cooled down nicely at night for sleeping. There was air conditioning in the house that kept it cool inside the house during the day. There was a two-person hammock strung between two trees that doesn't show in this picture that was a nice place to take a nap, read a book or just lay there looking at the scenery. There was an ATV camp going on that was located on the main road to the house. So there was a lot of ATV traffic zipping up and down the road, but I would still give this place 5 stars.
We left our coffee grinder by mistake in the house when we locked up, but the owner was nice enough to package it and mail it to us and take the cost from our cleaning deposit. I felt like it was a good value and affordable when the cost was split between the 3 couples.
Hello Larry and Family
We were so happy you enjoyed our Cabin.
Bob and I love the cabin and we hope all our guest do as well.
We are glad the A/C worked for you. We added it last year because the weather is getting real warm. The hammock is one of my favorite places to relax. We are glad you enjoyed the wine, nothing better than just relaxing with a glass of wine in the evening. Please come back again. Till we meet again --take care.
A Great Retreat and Base Camp
My good friend and I had a guys' retreat at this property and it was wonderful. Everything that was advertised about this place turned out to be exactly what was delivered. We each had a lovely separate bedroom, a fully equipped kitchen, and an efficient wi-fi, phone landline, and satellite TV. The location was great. Each day we got up and out early, hiked and fished in the Sawtooths and the White Clouds, and came home to a hot shower, a home-cooked meal (done by us), and a relaxing evening of sports and movies on TV. This is what we wanted and exactly what we got. The owners were excellent to work with as well.
Hello Greg
We were so happy that you enjoyed our Cabin on the Yankee Fork.
It is wonderful and a great place to Rest and Relax. Please come again.
Sit back and relax on the wrap around deck. Or sit around the fire pit at night and enjoy the sounds of the wilderness. Climb the mountain trails. Ride your atv's or motor bikes, fish in the yankee fork of the salmon river or fly fish in the dreage ponds.. Or soak in the natural hot springs . Raft the world famous salmon river- 'river of no return'. Hunt for big game. Deer, elk, moose, bear, mountain lion we have them all.. Watch the fox play in the front yard. Visit the ghost towns of custer and bonaza just 3 miles up the road. See the yankee fork dreage and learn how gold was found in days gone by. Or just watch the bald eagles fight over the steel head in the ponds. Or better yet fish for those very same steelhead or salmon that return every year. Or the rainbow trout. Visit one of the 300 alpine lakes in the snra just south on highway 75. Or see the sun rise on the sawtooth mountains.

I asked yesterday for ideas on making carrot juice into a more palatable ice pop, and commenter Donnelle suggested mixing it with orange juice. So I did:
I used equal parts of each, and of course tried the combination first. It tasted pretty good, so I poured it in.
Y'all, this was SO much better than the plain carrot! The OJ sweetened things up considerably without obscuring the taste of the carrot juice. And the carrot juice softened the intense sweetness of the OJ. They were like the peanut butter and chocolate of juices! Unlike yesterday's fiasco, this pop was a pleasure to eat. Thanks so much for the tip, Donnelle!
I also received comments and messages suggesting adding ginger to the carrot juice. As soon as I get my hands on some ginger, I'll give that one a try.

By trying this way we can speed up the process and then the phone wont struck but only one disadvantage is battery backup that's all. try this friends keep the phone update
i want to bye this ph?does it supports skype???does it support wechat,whatsapp like this android app???
I faced problems like not getting calls, hanging.yesterday i visited micromax check point they suggested me to keep phone internal memory minimum 50 mb free. Now its not hanging and able to pick the calls.

Background Little is known with regard to how acupuncture skills are optimally taught, learnt and evaluated despite clear evidence that technical skill acquisition is important to trainee success in health professions.
Objectives This study reports an investigation of the sensorimotor aspects of the acupuncture lifting-thrusting skill in order to highlight the important kinematic and kinetic features of the action. The study also explores the role of perceptual acuity in accurate acupuncture performance.
Methods Twelve novice and 12 expert acupuncturists watched a standardised video demonstrating the mild reinforcing and reducing technique of lifting-thrusting on an acupuncture point and then performed 10 trials of the technique on an artificial skin pad mounted on a six-axis force transducer with an infrared light-emitting diode affixed to the index finger of their dominant hand. The force transducer measured the force applied by participants as they needled the acupuncture point while an optoelectric camera measured the position of the diode. Subsequently, the participants engaged in two tests of general perceptual acuity.
Results Repeated measures analyses of variance indicated that experts are more consistent in their trial-by-trial amplitude (p=0.03) and lifting-thrusting velocity (p=0.029) than novices. Measures of perceptual acuity revealed no differences between novices and experts.
Conclusions Movement amplitude and velocity consistency are the action features of the mild reinforcing and reducing lifting-thrusting skill that differentiate the performances of experts from novices. The acquisition of acupuncture expertise is a function of extended practice rather than any inherent perceptual ability.

Statistics from Altmetric.com
Acupuncture treatment purports to stimulate the body through the activation of regulating functions that improve and rectify physical disturbance and dysfunction. It is used effectively for disease treatment and health maintenance all over the world.1 However, incompetent acupuncture performance can result in needle pain, haematoma and bent or broken needles that may have an unfavourable impact on therapeutic effects.1 Yet, little emphasis has been put on quantifying the aspects of motor control that are relevant to the training and evaluation of acupuncture skills. Traditionally, the most common acupuncture pedagogy involves a strategy in which teachers describe and demonstrate skills for students who train on soft pads for long periods before practising on one another. The skill competence of trainees is usually evaluated by the subjective, and potentially inaccurate, evaluations of observing examiners.2 There is, for instance, rarely much attention paid to students' accuracy in force control.
To date, the research into quantitative objective methods of training and assessment of acupuncture skills is limited. Over the last decade, Gu,3 Ding et al4 and Yang et al5 affixed piezoelectric transducers in needle handles to monitor the generation of real-time thrust forces. More recently, Liu et al6 used motion sensors to capture the real-time position of needles during acupuncture manipulation. This latter work resulted in the development of the 'Acupuncture Manipulation Information Analysis System', which uses recorded performances of needle insertions to help teachers assess objectively the skill level of students.7 Importantly, although this work was successful in highlighting quantifiable features of the performance of expert acupuncturists,4 ,8–10 none of these studies reported on the accuracy of the instruments employed and the omission of a novice control group across the studies represents a barrier to establishing the construct validity of the developed technology. A recent comparison by Davis and colleagues of the performance by experts of two needling techniques showed a large variation between practitioners but no major differences in force production between the techniques.11
In the present study we have used advanced motion capture systems to measure the force, amplitude, frequency and velocity of the lifting and thrusting components of acupuncture. Lifting-thrusting is one of the basic acupuncture techniques. It involves inserting a filiform needle into an acupuncture point to a certain depth and then lifting and thrusting the needle perpendicularly and continuously until the arrival of qi. Qi is regarded as a kind of energy, and when qi arrives, acupuncturists feel a subtle sense of heaviness and tension beneath the needles.1 ,12 This skill is simultaneously complicated and flexible. The force, amplitude and frequency of thrusts, as well as the velocity of lifting and thrusting, depend on the location of the acupuncture point and also on the patient's constitution and pathological condition. There are three popular lifting-thrusting techniques: (1) the reinforcing method with a smaller thrust force, amplitude and frequency and faster thrusting; (2) the reducing method with a larger thrust force, amplitude and frequency and faster lifting; and (3) the mild reinforcing and reducing method with a moderate thrust force, amplitude and frequency and relatively equal lifting and thrusting velocities.1
This work improves on previous efforts by including comparisons of the lifting-thrusting performance of both expert and novice acupuncturists in the mild reinforcing and reducing technique. These comparisons will highlight the action features of lifting-thrusting skills that are unique to experts and, in turn, promote the development of objective and quantitative performance standards. Specifically, we anticipate that the performance of experts in the mild reinforcing and reducing method will be characterised by more consistent movements and force production than that of novices. Furthermore, in addition to seeking the unique motor features of expert acupuncture needling, we also aim for a better understanding of the role of general sensory perceptual ability in acupuncture expertise. To this end, participants were asked to undergo tests of general sensory perceptual acuity on their fingertips. We anticipate that these measures of cutaneous sensation will not differ between experts and novices.
Materials and methods
The study participants were 12 novice acupuncturists (six men, six women, mean age 25 years) and 12 expert acupuncturists (six men, six women, mean age 36 years). The novices were members of the University of Toronto community with no prior experience of inserting an acupuncture needle. The experts were individuals who had performed a minimum of 350 h of clinical acupuncture practice and included acupuncture practitioners, students in their final year of acupuncture training (beyond the minimum amount of practice required to be considered qualified for independent practice) and recent graduates from the Toronto School of Traditional Chinese Medicine (Toronto; n=10) and the Shiatsu School of Canada Acupuncture Institute (Toronto; n=2). All members of this group were legally allowed to practise acupuncture independently. All participants provided informed consent according to the guidelines set out by the Declaration of Helsinki (1954) and the University of Toronto Research Ethics Board.
The participants watched a video demonstrating a standardised technique for performing mild reinforcing and reducing lifting-thrusting on an acupuncture point. The technique demonstrates the application of moderate thrust force, amplitude and frequency as well as relatively equal velocities in lifting and thrusting. Following the video demonstration, the participants performed 10 trials of the procedure using professional needles (0.25 mm in diameter and 40 mm in length; Eacu, Maanshan Bond Medical Instruments, China) on a simulated skin pad (Professional Skin Pad Mk 2, Limbs & Things Ltd, UK). Participants were provided with a standardised clinically relevant scenario to contextualise their performance. This scenario indicated that the participant was to perform the procedure with six lifts and thrusts that were gentle in force and consistent in amplitude, frequency and velocity. Each trial included sterilisation, initial needle insertion, acquisition of desired needle depth, six needle lifts and thrusts and needle withdrawal. The simulated skin pad was mounted on top of a six-axis N/T force transducer (ATI Industrial Automation, USA) which measured (within 0.000001 N) the real-time force applied by the participant along the axis of thrust application. The transducer outputs provided information regarding the time period between initial needle insertion and acquisition of the desired needle depth that occurs just before lifting-thrusting is initiated (T1), the total time between initial needle insertion and the end of the sixth lift-thrust (T2) and the time spent on the six lift-thrusts (T3) (figure 1). Using deductive means, thrust frequency was calculated from T3.
Simultaneously, an optoelectric camera (Optotrak 3020, Northern Digital, Waterloo, Canada) with high spatiotemporal resolution and accuracy (0.01 mm and 0.1 mm, respectively) captured the real-time displacement (mm) of an infrared light-emitting diode affixed to the fingernail of the index finger of the participant's dominant hand. Thrust amplitude (mm), time associated with each lift (lifting time, ms) and time associated with each thrust (thrusting time, ms) were recorded (figure 2). The ratio of lifting time to thrusting time (L/T) was calculated to differentiate between reinforcing, reducing or mild reinforcing and reducing methods. The L/T of the reinforcing method is much more than 1 while the L/T of the reducing method is much less than 1. An L/T of 1 is optimal for the mild reinforcing and reducing method.
After completing the 10 acupuncture trials, the participants undertook two tests of general sensory perceptual acuity: the von Frey hair test and the two-point discrimination test. Both tests were carried out on the tips of the index finger, middle finger and thumb of both hands. The von Frey hair test uses a series of monofilaments (Touch-Test Sensory Evaluators, North Coast Medical, California, USA) to establish an individual's cutaneous sensation threshold. The participant's vision is occluded while the smallest filament is pressed against the skin of the fingertips at an angle of 90° until it bows. The participant is asked to respond when s/he feels the filament. If s/he does not respond, a larger filament is chosen and the process is repeated. The size of the filament to which the participant first responds is recorded as the measure of the cutaneous sensation threshold. The two-point discrimination test involves the use of aesthesiometers (#16011, Lafayette Instruments, Lafayette, Indiana, USA). The two points of the aesthesiometer, arranged close together, are touched to the skin of the fingertips simultaneously. Without the aid of vision, the participant reports whether s/he feels one or two points. The separation of the points is gradually increased until the individual reports the perception of two points. The distance separating the two points is read from the aesthesiometer and provides an accurate measure of the individual's two-point discrimination threshold.
Statistical analysis
The mean and SD of the thrust force, amplitude and L/T were calculated across the six lift-thrusts performed in each trial. Thus, for each participant, 10 means and SDs of force, amplitude and L/T were obtained. The means and SDs for each dependent variable were analysed independently in the two groups (experts and novices) by 10 trial repeated measures analyses of variance (ANOVAs). As a lower SD score is an indicator of less trial-to-trial variability, the analysis of SD represents another comparison of the relative consistency between the groups. Similar repeated measures ANOVAs were conducted on T1, T2 and frequency data. The outcomes associated with the tests of general perceptual acuity were analysed for differences between the two groups in independent t tests. Tukey's HSD post hoc method was used to decompose any ANOVA effects significant at <0.05.
There were no group or trial differences in the magnitude or consistency of the thrust force (grand mean=0.26 N; grand SD=0.05 N).
Analysis of the thrust amplitude showed no group or trial differences (grand mean=10.1 mm). However, the analysis revealed a significant group difference in the SDs of the thrust amplitudes produced (F(1, 21)=5.138, p=0.03). Post hoc analysis of this effect indicated that novices (SD=2.1 mm) produced more variable thrust amplitudes than experts (SD=1.58 mm). Similarly, the SD of L/T in expert group, 0.32, is significantly smaller than that of novice group, 0.44, p=0.029. The mean L/T in the expert group was 1.14, which was nearer to 1 than that of the novices (1.22), although no difference between the two groups was found.
Analysis of the thrust frequency showed no group or trial differences (grand mean=57.8/min). There were also no statistically significant differences in the analysis of the SD of thrust frequency (grand mean=7.9/min).
The analysis of T1 revealed significant group and trial main effects (F(1, 22)=24.59, p<0.001; F(9, 22)=5.83, p<0.001, respectively). Post hoc analysis of the group main effect indicated that novices take significantly longer preparing to lift-and-thrust than experts. Post hoc analysis of the trial main effect indicated that lifting and thrusting was initiated a shorter period of time after needle insertion on the tenth trial than on the first trial (figure 3).
No significant difference in T2 was found between the groups although novices showed a tendency to take longer than experts (grand mean=20.32 s). However, the analysis of T2 revealed a significant trial main effect (F(9, 22)=2.89, p=0.041). Post hoc decomposition of the effect indicated that, regardless of expertise, procedures are performed faster on the tenth trial than on the first trial.
The tests of general perceptual acuity showed no group differences. Specifically, analysis of the von Frey hair test (table 1) and the two-point discrimination test (table 2) outcomes revealed no differences between experts and novices. For the von Frey hair test the grand mean was 0.064 g and, for the two-point discrimination test, the grand mean was 2.69 mm.
This study has identified a motor feature of lifting-thrusting that differentiates expert performance in the mild reinforcing and reducing technique from novice performance—namely, the consistency of the movements. The significantly smaller SDs of thrust amplitude and lifting-thrusting velocity in the expert group indicate that the experts perform the skill component with less trial-to-trial variability movements than those of novices. It is noteworthy, however, that each expert performed the lifting-thrusting with different forces, amplitudes and frequencies—that is, there was no standard exhibited for lift-thrust force, amplitude or frequency. These findings are consistent with the outcomes of previous studies.8–11 Thus, quantification of needling variability may be a useful measure for developing objective assessments of the lifting-thrusting skill.
There was also a temporal feature of the lifting-thrusting skill that differentiated experts and novices. Our study showed that experts spend less time inserting the needle into the skin and acquiring the desired depth before initiating lifting-thrusting. In this regard, temporal efficiency appears to be a critical feature of expert acupuncture skill.
Perhaps the most interesting finding is the lack of any difference between experts and novices with respect to general perceptual acuity. This strongly suggests that the acquisition of expertise in the lifting-thrusting skill depends on numerous hours of simulation-based and clinical acupuncture training and this training does not improve cutaneous sensation. In other words, the lifting-thrusting skill, which is technically considered as a series of accurate and consistent movements of a filiform needle controlled by fingers, is actually learnt by practice.13
This study suggests that movement consistency and temporal efficiency are the specific action features that describe expert skill at the lifting-thrusting component of the mild reinforcing and reducing acupuncture technique. It is therefore recommended that movement amplitude and velocity variability and performance time be considered important features in the evaluation of this acupuncture skill. It is our hope that this quantitative approach will serve to improve acupuncture training and assessment methods worldwide. However, it is important to note that our findings are limited only to training outcomes around one technique and do not establish any evidence-based relationship between needle technique and therapeutic effects. Further research would do well to perform similar analyses across a range of other techniques.11
This study also highlights how acquisition of the lifting-thrusting skill depends primarily upon practice and not on inherent perceptual acuity. This is particularly interesting when one considers that students are regularly taught that a critical aspect of the delivery of acupuncture therapy is the practitioner's ability to judge the arrival of qi, or the fine sense of heaviness and tension beneath the needle. If the ability to perceive the arrival of qi is not an inherent ability, then we must assume that it is also derived from a large amount of practical experience. Further work is needed to investigate the specific sensory features associated with the arrival of qi and the processes by which acupuncture trainees come to perceive these features.
Summary points
Little is known about skill of needle manipulation.
We found experts make more consistent movements than novices.

This topic describes the authentication and authorization model in Episerver Commerce. The authentication and authorization system uses the default membership and role system in ASP.NET. Configuration of membership and role providers is done in web.config file for the website. The Episerver Commerce sample site has a number of predefined users, groups and roles, both for managing editorial content and for administering the e-commerce tasks.
Authentication and authorization is used by the system to identify users and user groups, and determining what they are allowed to do. These are some common terms used in this context:
- Authentication. The process of identifying a user. The usual way of doing this is with a username and a password.
- Authorization. The process of determining the specific actions a user is allowed to perform.
- Provider. A module that is called by ASP.NET to provide an underlying service.
- Membership provider. The module that handles authentication in the security model in ASP.NET.
- Role provider. The module that gives the base data for authorization in the new security model in ASP.NET.
- Profile provider. The module that stores and retrieves personalized data in ASP.NET.
Administering security and access rights
When you administer access rights, use the following distinct components that are tied loosely together.
- Users. Delivered by the current membership provider).
- Roles. Delivered by the current role provider and the virtual roles).
- Access control lists (ACLs).
An ACL is simply a list of SecurityEntity classes and an access level. The security entity is a name and information stating if the name represents a role or a user. When you have a security entity in an ACL, it is not affected by changes in the membership or role provider. One aspect of this is that when you delete a role and then look at an ACL that had an access entry for this role, the role is still displayed in the ACL. Membership providers have APIs for creating, editing and deleting users, but not all providers support updates of the user database. The SQL membership provider lets you modify the user database, but the Windows membership provider does not.
Commerce-specific virtual roles
In addition to the default EPiServer groups (WebAdmins, WebEditors etc.), Commerce has a set of specific virtual roles that can be used for controlling access to parts of the user interface.
- CommerceAdmins. Provides access to the Commerce Manager back-end system (but not the administration view in Episerver).
- CommerceSettingsAdmins. Provides access to Settings menu for administering for instance dictionary values. [Added in 7.7]
- CatalogManagers. Provides access to the Catalogs user interface. [Added in 7.7]
These virtual roles are configured in EPiServerFramework.config, for example:
<add name="CommerceAdmins" type="EPiServer.Security.MappedRole, EPiServer.Framework" roles="WebAdmins, Administrators" mode="Any" />

At the pilates class today two new guys showed up who were boxers, friends of the instructor. It did my heart good to see these big guys spend most of the class flopping around like beached whales. It's really true that one type of training, no matter how intensive, doesn't means you can do everything.
That said, my lack of flexibility in my legs especially is starting to hold me back somewhat in this class, which means I've got to start doing some stretches everyday if I want to see any more real improvement.

The Guardian – Jamie Thom
"To praise or not to praise, that is the question. After condemnation in reports such as What Makes Great Teaching, confusion reigns around how frequently teachers should use praise in their classrooms and how best to do it. Everyone values being praised and recognised for their endeavours – it is a huge part of nurturing our self-esteem and confidence. Praise has its place in any lesson; to reject it would be to encourage a clinical and cold environment. When well employed, it can motivate students and help build a positive and optimistic classroom culture."(more)

The "Give Hope Wings" fundraising flight is flying high after a $20,000 donation.
The generous contribution pushes the effort past the $500,000 dollar goal with another 10 days left in the flight.
Pilot Dave McElroy arrived in St. Lucia Friday after spending eight days flying up the coast of Brazil.
"It's an interesting beautiful and sometimes dangerous country," said a relieved McElroy on arriving safely in the Caribean. "We had lots of help from Brazilian pilots which was a good thing, we were able to get by with our Spanish in most of South America, but the Portuguese based Brazilian language is something you can't fake."
He says the planes have been operating wonderfully with no mechanical problems aside from two oil changes.
The flight should arrive in Orlando on Wednesday and then continue North and West.
McElroy will make a return appearance on the "Craig Ferguson" show in Los Angeles on March 5 and arrive back at Kelowna International sometime on March 7th.
The funds raised will help Canadian Charity "Hope Air" provide 2,000 charity medical flights. Give Hope Wings took off from YLW January 2nd and will have visited 20 countries at its conclusion. To donate click here.

Lattice-matrix structures have distinct advantages in enhancing heat transfer in the cooling channels of a gas turbine blade. Lattice structures not only enhance heat transfer coefficient but also provide structural rigidity to the turbine blade. Stationary tests were performed for a 12 times scaled up model at four Reynolds numbers (4,000 < Re < 20,000) in a converging lattice structure. A narrow band liquid crystal technique is used to determine the heat transfer coefficient in the channel. The results shows very high heat transfer coefficient enhancement in the impingement regions. The average heat transfer coefficient enhancement for a channel with lattice structures is also higher (Nu/Nu0 = 1.9–3) than a pin fin cooling configuration channel (Nu/Nu0 = 1.7–2.2). The heat transfer coefficient enhancement decreases with increasing Reynolds number. Pressure data are taken at some specific points throughout the channel. High pressure drop due to the turning of the flow in the lattice structure is observed. Friction factor and overall thermal performance factor are calculated. The overall thermal performance factor lies in the range 0.64–1.

Fall is busy, please don't forget to carve out time for your creativity! You don't have to fold bottom sheets perfectly, know every plant in the book, or be able to bake the perfect cake (like Martha) in order to be crafty and call yourself an artist…all you need to do is get in touch with and make time for YOUR OWN Martha.
Here are 21 ideas:
1) Decorating gourds (either decorate with them, or decorate them with sharpie or mixed-media objects)
2) Make a bird feeder…make new friends!
3) Try your hand at photography, especially if you live in a foliage rich area
4) Make goodie bags with crafts or other kid-friendly items to give as to trick-or-treaters–an excellent alternative to candy!
5) "Drill" holes in candy corn and make a garland
6) Gather leaves, feathers and other flat-ish items, glue to a piece of paper, and frame–instant and free nature art!
7) Try "picking" –this involves going to a yard sale or thrift store, check-out the goods and gather some inspiration–perhaps there is an older wicker basket just waiting for you to clean up and fill with fruit
8) Gather acorns and/or pincones and place around your home….
9) OR attach string and make a garland, spray paint them, stamp with them, the possibilities are endless
10) Grab some old magazines or maps (these can be found at thrift stores!) and cut into shapes to stick into cards as a little something "extra" found in the envelope
11) Finger painting, I promise it's for grown-ups too!
12) Celebrate Thanksgiving? Make small, personalized gifts for your guests or for your hostess…custom wine labels anyone?
13) Sugar cookies! You can make in pumpkin and ghost shapes and use traditional dyed orange or white frosting–or get funky with your food coloring.
14) Start collecting ribbon for winter holiday gift-wrapping presents
15) Start your winter holiday gift buying on ETSY–please support handmade and re-cycled vintage artists and sellers 🙂
16) Pumpkin scented anything!
17) Remember the last time you wrote a short story or poem? was it for school 20 years ago? Give it a whirl….there's no grading!
18) Old leather or wool scraps? (thrift stores can also be a good source for neat-fabric clothing, just make sure the pieces are clean)…… fabric collage is a blast!
19) Miniatures…. a mini Lord of the Rings Shire, dollhouse furniture, endless possibilities
20) Get in touch with gemstones, crystals, and rocks from the earth…they can be used as home decor, jewelry making (and again) the possibilities are endless
21) Other than carving and drawing on a pumpkin (which both rock) what else can you do to decorate them? Rhinestones? Googly eyes? Vintage Halloween images pasted on? Let your dog paint it?
Happy fall!

It's hard to imagine an utterance more grim than this one, penned by a drug researcher in an essay for the journal Nature.
"Some of my scientific contributions may not be aiding people's well-being at all," wrote David Nichols, the Robert C. and Charlotte P. Anderson Distinguished Chair of Pharmocology at Purdue University. "In fact, they could be causing real harm."
Nichols has worked for nearly 40 years studying and creating drugs -- drugs intended, he wrote, to help people. He's studied drugs to treat Parkinson's and schizophrenia, as well as psychedelic agents such as LSD and mescaline.
His work with 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (also known as MDMA, or ecstasy) first drew the attention of "amateur chemists" in the late '90s. As part of his studies of the drug, Nichols and his colleagues looked at other molecules that were similar to it, believing they might prove helpful in psychotherapy. One of these was 4-methylthioamphetamine, or MTA. The team studied its effects on rats, and showed that the drug, which can inhibit the enzyme that breaks down serotonin in the body, "might have potential in the treatment of depression." They also reported that rats perceived the effects of MTA as being like those of ecstasy.

So, yes... I'm sad Michael Jackson's gone. Since he was sort of a Super Celebrity he never seemed quite real to me. I remember the first time I really knew he existed - I was somewhere around five years old staying at the The Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island with my family (as we did every summer back then). I was attending a children's entertainment group one evening and they gave every child a toy. Mine was a Michael Jackson doll (like a Barbie Doll but with a white sparkley glove). I had no idea who he was and thought the toy was just strange. I wonder what it would be worth now...
But I'm sad, because as I've gotten older I've developed a nostalgic appreciation for some of his music. My favs: Billie Jean, Remember the Time, and of course Thriller.
I have always wanted to learn the Thriller dance!
Well that's not entirely true... I really became interested in learning the Thriller Dance back when I was play Guild Wars a couple of years ago. I had a Necromancer (with a killer black-red leather outfit) and one of my favorite procrastination activities was to type in the command for dance. Imagine my surprise when suddenly she started busting out with the Thriller dance.
In case you're looking to spice up your workout routine (as I am) I stumbled upon Thrill The World a couple years ago. It's a group that tries to get a bunch of people around the world every year to dance the Thriller dance simultaneously. Crazy idea but loads of fun, no?
I've never participated in this effort, but I have watched Ines's instructional videos. I think that I shall have to teach myself this dance at some point this weekend, just to celebrate the music of Michael Jackson.
Of course, if there's anyone in Dayton who might want to actually participate in Thrill The World, I would LOVE to do this one of these years. Do you have Halloween plans yet? If not, let's dance!

Finding a new vet:
· How long has the vet been qualified for?
· Does the vet specialise/have much experience with rabbits?
· If surgical procedures are expected (such as neutering), what experience does the vet have with that procedure, what precautions do they take, what anaesthetics do they use (preferably Isoflurane) and what is the success rate with healthy rabbits (should be over 95%)?
· What value for money will you be getting? What is included in the price of a normal consultation? For example, for £15, will the vet check eyes, temperature and heart beat or will he or she do a more thorough check?
· How much would it cost for common procedures? Check ups, vaccinations, dental burring and neutering are probably the most common.
If anyone can think of any more questions, speak up

Marie Antoinette's Head
The Royal Hairdresser, the Queen, and the Revolution
Buy 15.99
Book Description
Marie Antoinette has remained atop the popular cultural landscape for centuries for the daring in style and fashion that she brought to 18th century France. For the better part of the queen's reign, one man was entrusted with the sole responsibility of ensuring that her coiffure was at its most ostentatious best. Who was this minister of fashion who wielded such tremendous influence over the queen's affairs?
Winner of the Adele Mellen Prize for Distinguished Scholarship,
Marie Antoinette's Head: The Royal Hairdresser, The Queen, and the Revolution
charts the rise of Leonard Autie from humble origins as a country barber in the south of France to the inventor of the Pouf and premier hairdresser to Queen Marie-Antoinette. By unearthing a variety of sources from the 18th and 19th centuries, including memoirs (including Léonard's own), court documents, and archived periodicals the author, French History professor and expert Will Bashor, tells Autie's mostly unknown story. Bashor chronicles Leonard's story, the role he played in the life of his most famous client, and the chaotic and history-making world in which he rose to prominence. Besides his proximity to the queen, Leonard also had a most fascinating life filled with sex (he was the only man in a female dominated court), seduction, intrigue, espionage, theft, exile, treason, and possibly, execution.

Easily one of the most magnificent of all tree ferns, this superb dwarf species from rainforests in New Caledonia sports a thin trunk rarely more than 1 m tall, topped by a dense crown of narrow, simply pinnate, leathery, glossy green leaves that are bright red when young. It is a complete mystery why this amazing fern is not widely cultivated.

The Wrong/Wrung Side of Love
by Desmond Kon Zhicheng‐Mingdé
• The Wrong/Wrung Side of Love was the winner for the 2nd Annual USA Regional Excellence Book Awards, 2016 (Poetry category) for West region
If Desmond Kon's earlier collection The Arbitrary Sign invoked continental philosophers like Jacques Derrida and Gilles Deleuze, The Wrong/Wrung Side of Love dialogues with some of Desmond's favourite writers. These dialogic imports range from Franz Kafka to Jean-Paul Sartre, Dan Chiasson to John Wilkinson, all perambulating against the pivotal epigraph by Paul Celan. The same playful architecture of an alphabet book is present, eschewing a simple read to elevate each letter into moments of aphoristic epiphany, underscored by poems which are at once intimate, urgent, funny, dreamy, and robust. The book has been described by Lily Hoang as "a confabulation of desire and a prognosis of tender passion".
About the Author
Desmond Kon Zhicheng‐Mingdé is the author of an epistolary novel, a hybrid work, and four poetry collections. He has edited more than fifteen books and co‐produced three audio books, several pro bono for non‐profit organizations. A former journalist, he is the first‐ever winner in both Poetry and Visionary Fiction categories at the Beverly Hills International Book Awards, as well as to have two collections tie for Poetry at the National Indie Excellence Book Awards, among other accolades. An interdisciplinary artist, Desmond helms Squircle Line Press as its founding editor.

The Good News And The Bad News6:32 PM
Trust me people, I have been trying to reach my adviser since forever. I had knocked on his door but no one was there. I tried to email him, but he didn't reply. I called, but no one picking up the phone.
So last Monday I went again to his office and the good news is, his office mate was there. Well the bad news is, my adviser just resigned. That is the reason why I didn't get his email back.
So on the same day, I went to the admin at FOE. So she assigned to a new lecturer. Wee. So I went back, sent him an email and waited for his answer.
Monday, no answer.
Tuesday, no answer.
Wednesday, still no answer
Thursday? Still nothing.
Damn it.
Ok that was it. So, after my paper this morning, I went back to the admin, again. And she assigned me to a new adviser, again. I asked for the adviser's room number and went to his room right away.
Ok found his room.
Knocked the door.
No answer.
Dialed his office number.
The phone rang.
But no one was inside.
So I went back to my room, dropped him an email. While waiting for him to reply, I did some chit-chat with Maja, only to know that he told his friend when I said his friend is cute. Seriously Maja? Haih segan aku. Hahaha!
1 hour passed.
Checked my inbox.
No new email.
2 hours.
Checked my inbox again.
Still, no new email.
*big yawn*
Ok that was it. I was so sleepy. I didn't get enough sleep since I was studying for my finals paper the whole night. And when I woke up, the first thing that I had in my mind was to check my email.
The good news is, he did reply.
The bad news is….
Those below are the conversation between me and Mr. Adviser via Gmail today.
On Jan 8, 2009 11:29am
Salam.Mr. Adviser:
My name is Zuriani Yusof (1071117950) and I would like to make an appointment with you for my assessment as soon as possible, so that I can register for my subjects. I would like to know when is the suitable time for me to meet you at your office. I went to your office and I called several times but you wasn't there. I would be glad if you can text me on my mobile - 017-------.
On Jan 8, 2009 2:36pm
Supposedly, you have to meet me before the end of trimester as the other students did. For your info, starting from tomorrow I will on leave and come back to MMU on 16 Jan. If you want to see me, I can wait until 5pm today.
On Jan 8, 2009 5:32pm
So is it OK for me to meet you after 16th January? I'm really-really sorry for not coming to your room today, because I just checked my email just now.
My previous adviser just resigned and the admin just assigned you as my adviser this morning. That's the reason why I haven't met you earlier.
Stress nya! Sumpah stress! Mesti nanti dapat kelas bodoh2 yang start pukol 8 pagi. Dah lah next sem long sem.
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! *menangis guling-guling atas lantai*

So you want to sell your hand made (Bath/Body) products? Then it's likely that you've come across the terms "Safety Assessment" "Certification" and "Cosmetic Safety Assessment".
Sound complicated? What does it mean? Well, within the EU, the law states that before any cosmetic/toiletry product can be sold, it must be "tested" for safety by a suitably qualified individual or body (lab, company, etc) and it is this process that is referred to as Cosmetic Certification, Cosmetic Safety Assessment, Certification, Cosmetic Testing, or similar.
Assessment for Cosmetics & Toiletries involves a suitably qualified cosmetic chemist or laboratory analysing your recipes, ingredients/ratios and methods. Even if you are making relatively simple alterations to toiletry "base" products, the resulting "new" products will still need an assessment; you've altered the formulation therefore the product is now something new and requires assessment in its' own right.
A number of conditions and rules must be satisfied before it is deemed safe to sell a cosmetic or toiletry product in the EU. These conditions are contained within the EC Cosmetics Directive (76/768/EEC) put in place in order to protect the public from harm. Guidance from the Department of Business Inovation and Skills on the Cosmetics Regulations can be found here - and is very useful! Within that document are further links to helpful sites and we recommend that you save it for future reference.
So how do you go about obtaining Assessment for your products?
1) Contact an individual assessor and advise them of the products you make, the ingredients and method that you use. The CTPA (Cosmetics Toiletry & Perfumery Association) will provide a list of independant assessors.
2) Purchase an assessment package to cover the type of products you wish to sell. Packages are available that are either stand alone (ours are) - you are free to source your ingredients wherever you wish provided they conform to EU law or that tie you to buying a particular retailer's ingredients.
Manufacturing experience is needed for both options; that is to say you should already know how to make products safely, be confident with the regulations surrounding ingredient use and be able to keep accurate records whilst adhering to good manufacturing practice.
MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheets) and Allergen data must be available for your ingredients and those ingredients must of course be approved for use in the EU (US regulations differ, therefore ingredients sourced from the US may not comply with EU regulations and vice versa). You will also need to familiarise yourself with EU law regarding labelling and weighing your products for sale, batch numbering and record keeping.
The consolidated EU cosmetics directive can be viewed here
Safety assessment packages can be viewed here

That got me thinking about the role of books in our own home education journey. As a child I devoured books but as I progressed further through the school system the books I read became more and more dictated by the subjects I was studying so that by the time I was studying for my Law degree the only books I read were Law books .Reading for fun had just disappeared.
It was only years later, when I started down the road of home education that I began to read again.Initially to learn what I needed to 'teach' (I know better now ) and then for fun.
The other day I came across this article in Brain Pickings which featured letters to children about the joy of reading. No one can make a child 'enjoy reading' but if you allow children to read what interests them then the majority of children will want more. School puts children off books. I know that for me I never ever want to see or read Waiting for Godot ever again, whilst for my son it's John Steinbeck's Mice and Men.
One website which offers reviews of great childrens' books is Love Reading 4 Kids. It's there that I uncovered a fabulous list of children's books about the First World War. I devour The Book People catalogue when it drops through the letterbox and it's a great excuse to grab a cup of coffee and choose books with my son. He has just chosen a Minecraft book on Redstone and an Usborne book about world war 1.
Books provide an education by stealth. Take The Guernsey Literary Potato Peel Pie society as an example I didn't intend to learn about the german occupation of Guernsey.It just happened. It reminded me to of a Michael Morpurgo book called Why the Whales came ,a children's story of the Scilly isles during world war 1 and The Mozart Question when musicians were forced to play in concentration camps as Jews went to their deaths.
Books are sparks which ignite an interest in a subject we then follow through. If you are stuck for ideas it might just be worth opening one to see what ideas pop out!
