Come the end of October in the Northern Hemisphere, the Wheel of the Year is popping and summer season is giving technique to winter. A lot of people don't, and meals can be saved a lot safer by following a number of simple rules. When being saved warm, the interior temperature of food should be above 60C/140F (this is applicable to refrigerated temperatures also, however it's easier to chill food all the way through than heat it throughout).
Over the previous few years I've been on the Second City Classic, 3-1-Chew, & Chinatown with my mother and companion. Pour within the mixture and place in an oven preheated to 180°C/Gasoline Mark four. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until just agency to the touch.
I'm really trying forward to engaging with the Windfall neighborhood and constructing relationships with other people who are all for meals entry, and food waste points. A uncooked meals food plan would not must imply missing out on the comfort of snack meals.
For example, teriyaki hen with rice and greens – it could possibly all go in a food processor and nonetheless taste nice. I'm actually very explicit about my babies meals and what you've gotten recommended is basically very good recipes. All through its historical past, a number of nations managed Haiti, introducing meals from their native lands so Haitian delicacies is especially a mixture of these nations.
Flexible's has obtained some superb selfmade treats you can buy out of their food truck. The meals must be gentle and straightforward to eat, however since healing can take a number of days it is also necessary that we not tire of our menu choices. Working in batches, purée remaining contents of pot in a blender or food processor till clean, taking care as it will be very hot.
Cooked pasta – (four oz without sauce) comprises 150 calories, 1 g of fats and 28 g of carbohydrates and only 1 g of fats. If food intake is not the conduct being reinforced, then what is the habits that is being bolstered by the meals reward.
And, in the event you go to different quick food eating places… examine and see what's on their greenback menu or worth menu…and experiment! Do-it-yourself Child food Recipes – a set of indian child meals together with purees, porridge, rice dishes and so on. I am wondering if I could make two cooks share a range by assigning one to the oven recipes and one to the stovetop recipes.

By Irene M. Ota, Diversity Coordinator & Development Officer, College of Social Work, University of Utah and Trinh Mai, Assistant Professor/Lecturer & Special Assistant to the Dean on Community-Based Research, College of Social Work, University of Utah
You've grown up in Salt Lake City, attended elementary, middle and high school here. This home, community and country are all you have known. You feel as American as many of your peers. But you cannot drive or work legally, and in many states, you cannot pursue higher education. You live with the knowledge that you can easily be arrested and sent to another country, one that only lives in your vague memories and imagination. You have limited choices for your future, just as you had limited choices in your past. You did not have a choice when your parents brought you to this country as a child.
This reality exists for an estimated 2.1 million undocumented minors living in the United States. It is a common perception that these individuals consist of only those who are of Latino/a descent. However, there are over 1.5 million undocumented Asian and Pacific Islanders as well. The Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act (the "DREAM Act") is a federal, bipartisan-supported legislation that seeks to address this situation by creating a pathway to citizenship for thousands of young students. The DREAM Act, introduced in March 2009 and reappearing on the U.S. Senate floor for a vote this September, 2010, would allow these students to apply for conditional legal status, granted if they meet all of the following requirements:
• they were brought to the U.S. before they turned 16, and are below the age of 35,
• they have lived in the U.S. continuously for five years prior to the passing of the legislation,
• they have graduated from a U.S. high school or obtained a GED, and
• they have good moral character with no criminal record.
Once the students are granted conditional legal status, they are given a six year period to meet the condition of completing two years of college or military service. If this is achieved, the students would be eligible to continue with legal permanent residency status and, in due time, citizenship. If not, students could face deportation. Research projects that 38% of all eligible students or 825,000 would become citizens if this legislation passes.
Utah Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch, one of the original sponsors of the DREAM Act, said that, "although these children have built their lives here, they have no possibility of achieving and living the American dream. What a tremendous loss for them, and what a tremendous loss to our society." Thousands of individuals cannot join the workforce, helping business and the economy by filling crucial needs. Employers who pay undocumented immigrants "under the table" avoid paying taxes and contributing to Social Security. Without the DREAM Act, our society's values of rewarding good character and hard work are denied to these individuals. They are denied the rewards of their talents and achievements in the land where they grew up and live.
Opponents of the DREAM Act have cited a variety of reasons for their opposition. Some senators labeled the DREAM Act as amnesty that would only encourage further illegal immigration. Others have said the DREAM Act, though worthy legislation, should only be enacted as part of a comprehensive immigration reform.
As we work toward a more comprehensive immigration solution, passing the DREAM Act this year will allow the U.S. to start benefiting from the hard work, talent, and commitment of educated immigrants, while strengthening immigrant communities. It will also relieve some of the backlog that currently afflicts the immigration system. If Congress fails to act this year, another class of outstanding, law-abiding high school students will graduate, unable to plan for their educational and professional future. The injustice of punishing children for the actions of their parents aside, it is simply bad public policy to throw away the talent that we have invested in from K-12 by deporting talented students and accruing losses in human and financial capital.
We can join the federal advocacy effort by assuring that Utah Senators Hatch and Bennett know our support for the DREAM Act. The University of Utah College of Social Work will host a photo exhibit from September 8-13, 2010, in the Community Meeting Room of the Goodwill Humanitarian Building (395 South 1500 East, Salt Lake City) to shed light on the life stories of undocumented students in our local community. The public is invited to join us for an opening reception on Wednesday, September 8 at 5:30 pm (program at 6:00 pm) to learn more about the photo exhibit and the DREAM Act. Petitions will be available for supporters to sign.
Read more about the exhibit and the reasons behind it here in the Salt Lake Tribune "U. Exhibit Gives Voice to Undocumented Students" — http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/home/50219124-76/utah-students-undocumented-college.html.csp?page=1

... literature in Gabapentin says its half life is 5-7 hours..so does that mean that half the medication is out of your system in that amount of time? So it would be completely out by 14 hours? I'm taking a dose just at morning and night and trying to figure out if 12 hours is too far to space it apart. Thanks
Half life of Gabapentin? Can someone tell me what exactly the half life of a medicine means? The?

The half life is how long it takes for half the drug to be out of your body. Five times that is how long it takes to be totally gone. For example if you took 200 mg. In five hrs there would be 100 left. At the end of another 5 hrs there would be 50 left, etc. Therefore it would take 25 hrs. To be totally gone.

BABUJI'S EZHARAI SANI – Part III
Viji, Raji and Bala, enjoying ice cream at the Egmore
station while waiting to receive visitors
Our next destination was Madras, today's Chennai. After staying with a bachelor friend of Babuji, (S. Venkitaramanan, whom the children called Ramanan Mama) for four to six weeks, we moved into a brand new house in Sri Ram Nagar, off Mowbray's Road, today's TTK Saalai.
In those days in Delhi, it was a regular practice among friends to share one's residence with those in need. We as a newly married couple stayed with friends for four to six weeks before we moved into our own government allotted quarters. And we in turn had shared our home with bachelors and newly married couples, and even couples with one or two children. We all lived as one family, sharing all household work and expenses. So I had no objection or awkwardness in staying with this friend. I felt sorry for him actually, for we were a family of eight members, three generations, plus one cook. He left the whole house at our disposal, but for one room upstairs, for his own use.
Madras in those days, that is, in the 1950s was a very laid back city, very quiet and peaceful. The roads were deserted most of the time. There were not even one-hundredths of the cars that fill the roads today. Even Mount Road, that is Anna Saalai of today, was peaceful to drive through. Motorcycles, scooters and auto rickshaws were unheard of. Babuji and I used to enjoy our drive from Gemini Circle (where today's Anna flyover is) to the Beach Road, through Edward Elliotts Road, that is today's Radhakrishna Saalai, a long stretch, without any hassle. Marina beach was very different from what it is today. It was a long stretch of sand up to the waves with no barricades or car parks or any man -made structures to ruin its natural beauty. There were a few sellers of eatables scattered over the place, and we really relaxed going there.
Another landmark which is no more is the Moore Market, the mother of all shopping malls of today, which was next to the Central Station. I remember my father getting me a celluloid doll when I was eight years old, and toys for my two younger brothers, when he went to Madras for a meeting, and visited Moore Market. My mother confiscated all these to display them only for the Navarathri kolu. I never played with that doll, and this is possibly the reason that whatever toys I got for my children were given to them to play with.
There were very few shops in our locality. Mowbrays Road was dotted with single bungalows in the middle of large compounds. The house we moved into was also single-storied with a big compound both at the front and at the back. The house belonged to well-known film star Ranjan. His brother Balu was the one who helped us to settle down in this house. Balu and Sujatha, a nice couple, were the only friends we made during these six months.
The few shops in our locality closed by 8 pm. One evening I found I had run out of salt. And to buy that packet of salt Babuji drove me all the way to Pondy Bazaar. Here too, we found only a single provision shop open, where we found our salt. What a difference to today's life.
You won't believe me if I told you that government offices in those days started working only at 11 am and ended by 4 pm. So office goers were able to eat their lunch leisurely and then leave for work.
Babuji was very much involved in the general election held that year. He was the returning officer in Kanchipuram. It was a very proud moment for him when he announced the victory of Mr. Annadurai. On the day of the election, after the voting was over, each ballot box was sealed and locked and kept in a room which was locked and sealed in the presence of all party members, to be opened only on the counting day, again in the presence of these members. Suddenly it was noticed that the fan in the room was still on. Someone had forgotten to switch it off. Babuji was in a quandary – an old fan going on for 24 hours for nearly a week could cause a short circuit because of coil-burning. Reopening the room was out of the question. Babuji hit upon the idea of switching off the main in the building, even though it meant that the other parts of the building had to do without electricity.
Even if it was only for six months, Bala joined St. Bede's. He was not yet nine years old, but he used to travel by public bus; the roads were so safe. Viji was put in a nearby school within walking distance. But no school was willing to admit Raji in Class 7 just for 6 months. All said and done, both Raji and Bala lost one year of their studies – but no regrets.
A few words about Annaji and Ammaji, Babuji's parents. Annaji was 63 years old and Ammaji was 56 years old. They were then considered as 'old people'. They both took all the changes that happened in these two years in their stride without any complaint. Not only that, they were a great help in taking care of the children also. Ammaji took upon herself to bring up Raja from the very early days, and Raja also wanted only Ammaji for most things. And the bond between them was really strange. Every Friday Annaji and Ammaji attended the prayer meetings which were held in the Gandhi Mandapam without fail. Some days Rajaji used to attend the meetings, and on certain days M. S. Subbulakshmi used to sing bhajans. And they enjoyed this outing very much.
Another advantage of being in Madras was we came in contact with many of Babuji's relatives from both sides. The main attraction for Babuji in Madras were Kuttiyappa and Kuttiammai, his aunt and uncle, who lived in Royapuram, and with whom he had spent part of his growing years.
We both welcomed visiting relatives with open arms. Ours was an open house, and there was food ready for anyone who needed it any time of the day – much appreciated by all.
When Babuji's tenure in the south was to come to an end in June 1957, he applied to the centre for a posting in the south for a few more years, in consideration to his aged parents. The Centre obliged to this by sending Babuji to Pondicherry on deputation.

I am interested to know if the newspaper reporter ever contacted you and whether he has interviewed you for the newspaper. I imagine your life-story would be very popular with readers.
I enjoyed reading about how people would let friends share their houses if they were in temporary need. In England and Australia, after WW2 there was such a shortage of houses that many people had to share but I don't think they enjoyed it.
The problem we have now in the west is that young men and women are moving 'back home' so that they can save for a house. Mine are past this stahe, I'm happy to say.

Retention Is Key During a Trucker Shortage
When truck drivers quit, the industry suffers. Production temporarily drops, and time and money must be spent to hire and train new truckers to replace them. To improve driver retention and keep quality staff on board, we need to understand why they leave for new jobs. Here are some common reasons why drivers quit and what can be done to stop the turnover and ease the trucker shortage.
Dispatch Plays a Big Role
Drivers want to be treated with courtesy and respect. At the very least, the company should know each employee's name. Since dispatch keeps in constant contact with the truckers, they have a great opportunity to influence the drivers' feelings and attitude. Dispatch should be trained in people skills, and they should be honest if there are any issues with a load. Also, dispatch must not solely focus on delivery schedules. They need to keep driver fatigue in mind and build in time for drivers to get needed rest. Otherwise, a trucker could easily burnout and quit. This helps to protect against fatigue-related accidents as well.
What Kind of Benefits Are Offered?
For some drivers, a good benefits package will be enough for them to accept less pay. Think about what kind of health insurance is offered. Do they receive enough sick days and paid vacation time? Is there a retirement program? Companies should strive to make it hard for drivers to leave. For example, have a retirement program that requires a few years of service to be fully vested into it.
Safe and Reliable Wheels
A driver's truck must be dependable and give them a sense of security. They need the vehicle to get them safely from point A to B. When drivers share issues about their truck, the complaints must be addressed ASAP. If the problems get pushed to the back burner, it reflects the company's attitude about their staff's satisfaction and safety.
Spending Time at Home
Many drivers have families and want to spend a reasonable amount of time with them. Truckers often say they would like to get home weekly to see loved ones and friends, as well as to take care of other responsibilities, according to surveys. When hired, truck drivers should hear all the job requirements, especially if there is a possibility that they can't be routed home on a weekly basis.
A Steady Paycheck
One of the biggest issues regarding salary is when the promised pay and mileage does not materialize. For example, a driver will become upset if he is assured 2,500 miles per week at a certain rate but only consistently gets 1,750 miles.
TransForce Drivers Receive Respect and Competitive Benefits
Drivers are respected and appreciated at TransForce. With more than 20 years of service, we offer competitive weekly pay, steady home time, and a comprehensive benefits package, including medical/dental/vision insurance, life and disability insurance, paid time off, and 401K. Find out more at https://www.transforce.com/driver/#benefits.

The Girl With Nine Wigs: Overview
Disclaimer: I received an Advanced Reader's Copy from Goodreads Giveaways. Writing a review was optional, but encouraged.
Sophie van der Stap's memoir The Girl with Nine Wigs chronicles the concerns of a typical 21-year-old college student: the stress and excitement at the start of a new semester, relationships with family and friends, clubbing, picking up men, and navigating the difficulties of a friends-with-benefits relationship. Like many young adults, Sophie is discovering and exploring the different facets of her personality. She also found out she has cancer.
Sophie lives out the fear in the back of everyone's mind when they go to the doctor with a health concern. Having felt weak and short of breath, Sophie endures a litany of tests expecting a prescription for medication so she can get back to worrying about her studies instead of her health. Instead, her doctor tells her she has cancer and quickly starts her treatment. Like many cancer patients experiencing hair loss due to treatment, Sophie buys a wig. As you probably deduced from the title she winds up collecting nine wigs in total. Each wig receives a name and persona to reflect certain aspects of Sophie's personality. Sue's short red hair makes Sophie feel strong and decisive while the shiny whiteness of Platina's bob radiates carefree fun. If she wants to feel exotic, sexy, independent, insecure, or thoughtful, Sophie only needs to pick the wig to help her channel her trait of choice. Sophie describes this experience as her "cancer vacation", using this frighteningly uncertain time to freely explore her identity with abandon.
My first thought when I pick up a book about cancer is "how many tissues am I going to need?" (Thanks, John Green.) I expected an abundance of somber scenes of hospitals, chemotherapy, hair found in the shower drain, distressing reactions from Sophie's loved ones, and all the other tropes that come with books about illness. These topics and scenes are certainly present but Sophie never seems to dwell on them for long. The memoir is always primarily about identity. Which wig/persona will Sophie wear when she goes out with friends to feel normal amid the chaos of her situation? When she wants to go into treatment with a brave face? When she has a date and wants to be seen as a normal girl instead of "the girl with cancer"? When she has to meet with a doctor to hear the results of a medical test? Each wig allows Sophie to transform not into a different person, but an amplified version of part of her personality. Sophie sees opportunities to treasure both the highs and lows in life. Sophie is always hopeful, but aware her life is not guaranteed.
My Thoughts
It was easy to connect with Sophie's journey because even though not everyone has cancer, we've all dealt with our identities. Being in your twenties probably brings your first major identity crisis as you transition from childhood to adulthood. How many of you decided you were going to become a different person when you entered high school or college? How many of you went through with it? It's pretty rare that someone's personality drastically changes. Reservations hold us back from exploring facets of our personalities. It was inspiring to see Sophie bring aspects of her personality to the forefront, giving the spotlight to her sass, sensuality, or reserve. When you're looking death in the eye, Sophie says in so many words, there's really no good reason to hold yourself back. Be more outgoing than you ever dreamed you could be. Show the bravery you never knew you even possessed. Step out of your comfort zone, because one day it could all be taken away. It shouldn't take a cancer diagnosis for people to finally live.
I really enjoyed how the chapters in this book were relatively short. I bring a book to work with me every day and I hate having to stop midway through a chapter because my lunch break is over. That was never a problem with The Girl with Nine Wigs. Some chapters were a page or two long. If you're like me get fatigued by long chapters, this book will definitely appeal to you. It was an easy read both in terms of the setup of the chapters and in the storytelling. Sophie sounds like someone you might know. She is very down-to-earth and honest. Even though she possesses an enviable bravado, there are times in the book when she breaks down and admits she is still frightened. She remains positive, but there are still times when she lets herself wonder what she will leave behind and miss if she doesn't beat her disease. However, her mindset reflects the book: she spends more attention on living life than succumbing to disease.
One of the issues I had with the book is Sophie's seemingly wealthy background makes some of her preoccupations seem petty when compared with the struggles of an ordinary cancer patient. She receives a few of her wigs as gifts, but buys about half of them. Good quality wigs cost hundreds to thousands of dollars. Her advice to explore different aspects of yourself is awesome, but it certainly comes more easily when you can purchase a plethora of wigs to get you started. I thought of cancer patients who can't even afford one wig, who are so weakened by treatment they can't leave their beds, who can't go on vacation. It made Sophie's boy drama seem petty in comparison. Sure, romantic issues are typical for twenty-somethings, but if you have cancer and can still find the strength to head out on the town till all hours of the morning maybe be a little thankful for that.
Overall, this was an easy read with a hopeful message.
Rating: 3 out of 5 wigs.

Killzone 3 is indeed getting split-screen co-op
Today is a great day for split-screen gamers; the feature has been confirmed for Sony's star shooter, Killzone 3. Herman Hulst, Guerrilla's project head explained that this was just one of the ways that their latest game was pushing the PS3.
He told 1UP: "We found a lot of power after we completed Killzone 2. Just to give you an example on the graphics side: we pulled a level from Killzone 2 into the Killzone 3 engine and it ran at 50 per cent. That's how much power we've been able to find. You can see it in split screen co-op." Well, that pretty much confirms that.
It's certainly impressive that this tech-heavy title can support a feature so uncommon in games these days; does anyone have an excuse for no split-screen anymore?

In 1800 Francois Peron, an ambitious young medical student not long released from the French revolutionary army, gained a place as an assistant zoologist on Nicolas Baudin's expedition to Australian waters. As his colleagues either deserted or died, he would rise rapidly within the expedition's ranks and even write its official account. In doing so, Peron would seek to destroy Baudin's posthumous reputation. The expedition was famously marked by the vexed relationship between Peron and Baudin, but Peron's work, as a man of science, profoundly enhanced the achievements of the expedition: he seized valuable opportunities to pioneer zoological, oceanographic and ethnographic studies, and as an ecological observer was remarkably prescient. Edward Duyker's meticulously researched biography of Peron provides an engaging and wide-ranging journey-from the heart of pre-revolutionary rural France, to the bitter fighting on the Rhineland front in 1793-94, to the late eighteenth-century Paris medical school, to landfalls in the Atlantic and the Indian Oceans, to the little-known shores of Van Diemen's Land and New Holland, and back into the very heart of Napoleon's Empire. This is both a balanced assessment of the difficult relationship between Peron and Baudin, and an analysis of the conduct of science during some of the most turbulent years in French history.

This project gets high marks in the easy-peasy category. The kids did most of the work, I just traced mustache patterns and tied knots. It also get high marks in the very-silly fun category, making it an all-around great activity, highly recommended.
What you need:
mini hole punch
elastic beading cord
scotch tape
magazine clippings of hair (or for littler ones, I used craft foam)
these templates
Trace the mustache shapes onto the magazine clippings or the craft foam and cut them out. Punch holes and tie the elastic cord through the holes. You will need to make several knots and then trim the ends so they don't tickle your nose.

Planet of Slums
I'm just finishing up Planet of Slums by Mike Davis, and I came across an interesting passage that is so evocative of what you can see in Bali (the wealthiest of all Indonesian provinces):
..three or four persons diving a task which could be as well done by one, market women sitting for hours in front of little piles of fruit or vegetables, barbers and shoeshiners squatting on the sidewalk all day to serve only a handful of customers, young boys dodging in and out of traffic selling tissues, wiping car windows, hawking magazines or cigarettes individually, construction workers waiting each morning, often in vain, in the hope of going out on a job.
This passage was quoted in Davis' work, but was written about the poor in Calcutta by Frederic Thomas. Yes, it's seen in paradise, but these are the people generally invisible to the tourists who come to party or the "expatriate" who builds a villa surrounded by walls to keep out the parts of paradise that they would prefer not to have to deal with.
I took apart the cabinet in the kids' bathroom today because after nine years of soaking up water from leaks and floods and the kids being sloppy, the wood – some of which was just pressed sheets of plywood – was finished. Most of it crumbled in my hands when I began to take it apart, but there were a few good pieces left and I considered rebuilding it. But after counting up the costs for good wood, I discovered that I could by a new cabinet for double to price of the wood. So we went out and found a cabinet to purchase and within minutes of returning home, one of my relatives asked for the ruined cabinet so that he could fix it up for his son who is expecting his first child soon.
The point? The point is that in the rush to satisfy tourists – both domestic and international – the government has still not structured the economy to provide permanent employment for all it's citizens. It does do a pretty good job of taking care of the rich though, but then don't most governments.

Veggie Tales
Today is day 7 of the veggie/detox smoothie challenge. Oddly enough the no meat thing is no biggie. It's the detox smoothie that sucks! I've been making a smoothie for breakfast for a while already. My smoothies are pretty healthy- spinach, flax seed, rice protein powder, banana, blueberry, and almond/coconut milk. And they're delicious! I'll mix it up and trade almond butter or some avocado in for something else. YUMMY!
This detox smoothie contains two powders that came in the mail (a green one and a protein based one). I'm supposed to mix those with almond milk and ice. BARF! It tastes terrible! And I'm hungry all morning. 23 more days of this is going to be though.
First, should I add fruit to the smoothie? After all, I'm not really going to weight loss in the detox so does it matter if I add some calories and flavor?
I made quinoa this week. I've made it before and loved it. My hubby's not wild about it. I played the vegetarian card and made it. Mixed in some onions, garlic, local kale, corn, and peas and topped with feta cheese. DELICIOUS! Hubby didn't feel the same. I will have to find another idea to get RT into quinoa!
Has my yoga changed with the diet change? I can't tell yet. I've had some hard classes this week and I feel like I fared well in the heat and humidity. Only time will tell!
I'm excited about tomorrow- I'm taking advanced class! My rib and back are feeling almost 100%. This means I'll take the 9:30 beginner class followed with 11:30 advanced. Hopefully the smoothie for breakfast doesn't wreck my practice!

With Auckland considering a ban on outdoor advertising and other cities already heading down this path, interactive television could become the new advertising frontier.
Wellington-based Eyemagnet plans to capitalise on this emerging opportunity. It recently signed major local and international contracts to provide interactive television and multimedia marketing solutions to companies such as our own Telecom and to Brazilian bus-manufacturer Caio.
The Eyemagnet software allows content to be customised on multiple screens, in different locations, offering wide-ranging opportunities to retailers, as well as to bars, and at sporting and entertainment events.
Interactivity is provided through downloads, using a short code-number to integrate big screen and public-facing multimedia offerings with mobile handsets' small screen.
This allows for public interaction, including text messages, which can be moderated immediately and broadcast onto screens. Text replies can then direct the customer to browse relevant websites via their handset.
"Eyemagnet is all about extending the big-screen experience down to the small screen, so the customer can continue the experience," says Nick Ratcliffe, Eyemagnet general manager for sales and marketing.
The company recently completed a large interactive public-screen promotion for a US tour by rock bands Korn and Evanescence, working alongside The Hyperfactory, another New Zealand technology company. Similar projects have included Auckland's Big Day Out.
In Brazil, Eyemagnet has supplied "busTV" interactive advertising to Caio, one of that country's largest bus-makers.
The system will go live, initially, in 300 buses at the end of October. Caio runs 35,000 buses in Sao Paulo alone.
Ratcliffe says Sao Paulo recently banned outdoor advertising.
"With a city of 18 million people, this is a way to continue to reach customers. Other cities are considering such bans — Auckland City Council wants to do it. So, there is tremendous potential for interactive television advertising on public transport."
Eyemagnet has also worked on interactive projects with Saatchi & Saatchi.
It recently developed a "virtual changing-room", which was trialed in a pilot scheme with clothing retailer Hallenstein.
The prototype features an interactive mirror which enables shoppers to use motion-detection to select items from the company's product range and then try them on virtually. High-definition images can also be streamed to friends' computers or mobile devices for a second opinion.
The company builds all its own software. Ratcliffe says the next business step is venture capital funding.
"We are expanding very fast and want to move rapidly to the next level. To do that, we need investment."

- 15/0 seed beads Miyuki "Dark Bronze" (457D)
- 11/0 seed beads Miyuki "Dark Bronze" (457D)
- 8/0 seed beads Miyuki "Dark Bronze" (457D)
- Silky beads "Alabaster Lazure Blue"
- 3mm druks "Bronze"
This pattern by designer Connie Whittaker is from the June 2015 issue of "Bead & Button Magazine". If you don't have a subscription, you can buy this issue HERE. There will also be a kit available from the Jewelry & Beading store HERE.
UPDATE (7/28/16): I just ran across a video tutorial for this pattern HERE.
I'm always on the lookout for patterns to make with Silky beads and this one is just my style. However, I ran into some problems with the pattern as written. The main Silky motifs came out very nice but the seed bead connections between them gave me fits. They wouldn't stay put and kept flipping sideways instead of sticking up and they caused the bracelet to curve. I tried quite a few different alternative connection ideas finally came up with something super simple that works very well. I think that this solution also enhances the look of the bracelet. Instead of two groups of three 15/0 seed beads between each Silky bead, I replace each trio of beads with a 3mm druk. As you can see in my bracelet above, it works perfectly.
Here is a photo of some of my experiments before I thought of using druks:
The two samples in the bottom row were made according to the pattern directions. I think that the Silkies look too crowded with those wonky seed beads between them and you can see how curved the green sample is.
The middle sample shows some of my connection experiments but I didn't like any of them.
The top sample shows how it would look with the Silky motifs turned vertically instead of horizontally. I really like how that sample turned out and I will probably make a bracelet like that sometime. I'm going to call it "Silky Cameo Bracelet" because the motifs look like a bit like cameos to me.
- 15/0 seed beads Miyuki "Light Bronze" (457L)
- 11/0 seed beads Miyuki "Light Bronze" (457L)
- 8/0 seed beads Miyuki "Light Bronze" (457L)
- Silky beads "Alexandrite Blue Luster" and "Jade Picasso"
- 3mm Czech pearls "Antique Gold"
Anyway, I'm glad that I thought of putting druks between the motifs. Above is my first sample made with this technique.
I love the feel of this bracelet. It's not heavy but it has some "body" because of the thickness of the Silkies. If you don't pull the druks too tight against the Silky beads, the bracelet also has some flexibility and movement. What really make the design special are the seed bead "chains" crossing over each Silky. If you recall, Teejay's "Mary Ann Bracelet" has the same Silky bead embellishment but with five 15/0 seed beads in each chain instead of four. You can read about the free "Mary Ann Bracelet" pattern HERE. As far as I know, Teejay was the first to come up with that idea because I hadn't seen it anywhere else and the magazine came out after her pattern was posted on my blog. Of course the magazine article was written long before but neither Connie nor Teejay would have been aware that the other had come up with that idea. Great minds do think alike, as they say.
TIP: It's not mentioned in the pattern but you'll need about 4 yards of thread for this bracelet. I started mine with 3 yards and had to add thread.

Maxime Absurdum
As a young man following political news and dreaming of making movies, I envisioned a script about a small town where the same two bickering men were perennially running for Mayor but nothing ever improved regardless of which one was elected. One year people decided individually in private to lodge a protest vote for the town Communist who always ran but never got any votes other than his own. When the votes were counted and the Communist actually won, everyone was shocked, most notably the newly elected Mayor. Hollywood made a version of my movie in 1972, The Candidate, with Robert Redford elected as a US Senator. Americans may have just taken the story to maxime absurdum by electing Donald Trump as President of the United States.
Being a few years older than Trump, I have had the misfortune of hearing about him all his public life. Learning early that he was a silver spoon born self-promoting philanderer, I always tried to avoid hearing about him. Through the years, talk of Presidential ambition was obviously a delusion of grandeur so I laughed it off. As his TV show The Apprentice gained fame, I also avoided it; when surfing channels and seeing him with his ridiculous hair pontificating in a board room set, I moved away quickly.
Then as the Presidential campaign started in 2015 and I began watching, here was Trump actually joining the overloaded Republican circus. Like many people I was a bit dumbstruck by what I saw. It was like watching another show I try to avoid on channel surfing, The Jackass Show. Because the Republican Party nomination for the US Presidency was at stake, I followed their quest, hoping to be there when the Jackass Trump splatted. I got up to speed on the Trump background by reading materials on line and in biographies and documentaries. Though I am mercifully skipping details of the campaign here, they may come up in later Sense postings.
Fast forward through the Conventions, the debates, the final campaigns and the related aspects, some of which may also come up in later postings, to election night. Quickly it became clear something was off and then that the unthinkable might be happening. Visions of driving around with a billboard on my car top saying Americans are [expletive deleted] fools, followed by a visceral deflating and then a strange involuntary laugh. Is this what it is like to watch The Jackass Show, seeing someone risk personal safety by doing something dangerously stupid? First the feeling of sickened empathy for the fool and then the laugh at the consequences he brought on himself. But this is not one voluntary jackass; it is our whole country and the world for which we profess to be a shining example.
As the Civil Rights movement was charging forward in the US, white people would often offer an ignorant complement to an impressive black man, "He is a credit to his race." President Obama has been a credit to The United States Presidency, regardless of and because of, his race. This morning President Obama welcomed to the White House for an orientation Donald Trump, a man who appears to be the most unqualified and unfit man ever elected to the office. The two men had never met before. Trump in the picture above seems as shocked and unprepared as the Communist in my script.

5. Banana Co. by Radiohead
Perhaps we have at least once in our 'reading career' wondered how our favorite novels would 'sound' like. In other words, if there were a song to depict the plot and the characters of a certain book, which one would it be? After reading a book which had left us breathless we often wish either to find out more about its author and get our hands on his/hers other works, or find out if there's a movie, or believe it or not, if there's a song written about it. The bond between music and literature is something famous singers are very well acquainted with; what's more, the greatest literary works of all times are hidden in some of the greatest music hits which melodies we're used to whistle without even knowing what they are about.
The first album of the band Radiohead came out in 1993 named Pop is Dead on which Banana Co. is to be found. This song was also released in 1996 on the Street Spirit, whereas its acoustic version could be found on the album EP.
One Hundred Years of Solitude. The novel by Gabriel García Márquez describes how modernity casts a shadow over traditional values and thus the gap between old and new ways of life exists; we come across that shadow while listening to the song. What gives this song a tone of melancholy and yet hope is the part of the book about shutting down of the banana plantation which inevitably has grave consequences on a blooming town Macondo.

Rare Metastatic Lesion Affecting the Mouth: Case Report and Review
Rare Metastatic Lesion Affecting the Mouth: Case Report and Review - Descarga este documento en PDF. Documentación en PDF para descargar gratis. Disponible también para leer online.
The presence of metastases in the oral cavity is considered quietly rare in the literature. Considering metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma, the occurrence occurs in approximately 1% of cases. The objective of this study was to report a case of metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma in gingiva, in a patient with a previous diagnosis of cancer presenting a poor prognosis. Furthermore, a review of reported cases has already been performed and found only 20 reports. This case report emphasizes the importance of including metastases in soft tissue of the mouth, in the differential diagnosis of lesions with benign aspect.

You Don't Know What You Got Til It's Gone
But that's not what I'm writing this morning. Instead, I'm trying to process the 12-hour-old news that Ironman North Carolina will, in fact, not be a full Ironman. Due to flooding in the area from Hurricane Matthew, the bike course has been shortened to 50 miles, making the race total 78.6 miles rather than 140.6. It's not a full Ironman. It's not even close. Ten months of waking up every day with this goal in mind, and it's going to end over 60 miles short. I can't believe it. I don't want to believe it.
This is something I was half expecting, but I was still shocked when it came to fruition. Hurricane Matthew hit two weeks ago and the Wilmington area received a lot of flooding. There has been speculation ever since about it and how it would affect the race, and knowing that IM Texas was shortened to 94 miles earlier this year for the same reason, I knew this was a possibility. Still, I did my best not to worry about it - taper crazies are bad enough without having to stress over whether or not the race would actually go on - and by yesterday, four days out, I was starting to let go of some of that anxiety that I could get an email at any moment.
And then...I did get an email. And even though I knew in my heart it could be coming, I was floored when I read it. I barely had to read the subject line to know what it was, and I immediately skipped to the part about how short the distance would be. The swim and the run course are to go on as planned, but the bike course is 50 miles. FIFTY. Out of the 112 that I was supposed to ride. Fifty is even less than I rode last year for the half! When I knew this was a possibility, I thought it would be shortened to 80 or 90 miles like IMTX, and I could live with that. That would have still taken some time to process, and I still wouldn't be happy about it not being the full distance, and I'd still have to do another one eventually to do a real Ironman, but I could have kind of accepted that. When I saw 50 miles on the bike, I just didn't see the point. I thought about all of the hours and hours and hours that I spent this summer, all the weekends away from my family, all the time I sacrificed to go out and train when we could have been sleeping in, exploring our new city, and just...being together. And for what? A race that it ultimately going to be 8 miles longer than the one I did a year ago?
What's most upsetting to me is not that I don't get to do the full race on Saturday, but that not doing the full race on Saturday might mean I don't do a full race ever. Or at least not the way I wanted to. I signed up for IMNC for specific reasons: I loved the half course last year and wanted to do a full in a place I was familiar with; it met all the criteria I had for a full (in the fall so nice weather, flat, etc.); my B2B crew from last year, including my dad, were all on board to do it. The last one is one of the most important things, and my dad has already told me that this was a one-and-done for him and that he isn't going to go through another training cycle. So when I got the news that this wouldn't be a full Ironman, I started grieving the death of my Ironman dream.
That may sound a bit dramatic, especially given that there are people that have lost their homes and even their lives, but this is something that has been a part of my family for nearly a year. I have lived with it, eaten it, breathed it for four months of official training, plus the six months before that since I signed up last December. I never claimed this would be a one-and-done for me, and I did plan to do another one. Eventually, at a time still to be determined, and after I'd had sufficient time to emotionally recover from the toll of training, I did think I'd do another one. Training for this has been the hardest thing I've ever done, and honestly, I'm not sure it was worth it. I wasn't happy for a lot of it. I didn't feel like myself for most of it. But I made it through and I was looking forward to doing the race so that all of that training could culminate into something and finally be worth it. I'm just not sure I have the energy or the strength to do it all over again, and it is killing me knowing that that's what I'll have to do. Two entire Ironman training cycles for one Ironman medal. It doesn't add up.
I was looking forward to the bike portion the least, but I think I might be most disappointed about that part getting cut short. I am not a cyclist. I don't really know what it is or how to explain it, but something about cycling feels very hard to me, and I don't like riding my bike. Actually, I like riding my bike 20-30 miles but even that can be tough for me sometimes. I really, actually don't like spending 5-6 hours on my bike. I was hopeful that a new bike and Ironman training forcing me to do to that would help me like it more, but it hasn't. I am able to tolerate riding longer but I still don't particularly enjoy it. But all my hours in the saddle have made me a better cyclist, and so even though I wasn't exactly looking forward to those 6.5ish hours on Saturday, I was looking forward to passing the test. I have worked so hard to be able to ride a bike that far and for that long. I worked so hard to be able to ride 112 miles. Fifty miles is still a long way, but it's not an Ironman bike. I rode 50 miles on the trainer after work one night a couple weeks ago for crying out loud. And I think that's the thing that is really killing me - I don't even get the chance to put all of that hard work to the test.
I walked home from work last night with tears streaming down my face as I told my sister-in-law about this on the phone, and when I hung up with her I was pretty sure I wasn't going to do it. There was no point. It would still be a long day, and so much work, with no real, legit race distance achievement at the end. I don't mean to diminish the 2.4 miles I'll have to swim or the freaking full marathon I'll have to run or even the 50 miles I'll have to bike (still a long way!), I just mean it's not legit in the way that a 78.6 race is...not a thing. I don't want a medal for it, I don't want to run on the red carpet at the end, I don't want to hear Mike Reilly's voice, and I don't want the finisher pajama pants. I don't want any of that.
When I got home and could finally sob for a bit after trying to keep it together at my desk this afternoon, I went running. I had 40 minutes on my plan anyway, and I truly didn't know what else to do. This was supposed to be my last run before the race and I expected there to be tears and there were, just not the happy kind. Those miles were the first time since I'd heard the news that I felt kind of normal, and the only time since then that I've really felt okay. I know I was feeling a lot of emotions and may have been thinking irrationally, but over the course of 5 miles I decided to just do it. And even though I'm not really trained for this and it's probably a pipe dream, especially considering that oh yeah, I do still have about 4 hours worth of exercise to complete before I get to this part, I decided to fight like hell for a good marathon. I don't know what that will end up meaning - the marathon has been a huge question mark this whole time since I honestly don't know how I will feel at that point. This whole time I've been saying it could take me 4 hours or it could take me 6, I honestly have no clue. But now, if I can't have a full Ironman, I want to try for a marathon PR. Or as close to it as I can run. I have 20 weeks of Ironman training under my belt, 62 fewer miles to bike before I run, and a whole lot of anger at this situation, I want to see how that translates into my legs. I have a perfectly good marathon course to run on Saturday, and I just need something to make this whole thing worth it so I don't just collapse into a puddle of tears.
If you've read this blog for a while and/or know anything about Ironman, you know that the whole day boils down to four words at the finish line: You. Are. An. Ironman. Those words are the reason I have gotten up at 4am. They've kept me in the pool until 10pm. They've made me keep pedaling when I've wanted to stop. They've helped me recover from an injury. They're everything I've worked for. Four simple words that require so much to be earned and that can never, ever, ever be taken away. But you know what?
They're just words.
And maybe I'm just saying that to make myself feel better, but there is a part of me that knows and believes that that's true. I don't need them. I have a great life, with a great husband and a great dog and a great job and a great apartment and great family and friends and in the grand scheme of things, being an Ironman won't make or break me. It's something I want, but it's not something I need. I still don't want to hear those words until they're true, though.
I knew 140.6 miles was going to be hard. I just never imagined I'd only be doing 78.6 and that somehow that could be even harder.

Again, I am so, so, so disappointed and angry for you. You worked so hard for this victory lap and I'm mad as hell that it's been taken away. But in a way, isn't it fitting? Like you said to me yesterday, maybe it never felt real because it wasn't meant to be. Maybe the training was the test you needed right now—and I think that's enough. I do. If it's about doing hard things, well shit, training like you have this past year is way harder than doing it out on the course, don't you think? And if it's not about doing hard things, it's about reconnecting you to yourself, and I think it's plainly clear that that's only going to happen when you're putting one foot in front of the other.ReplyDelete
I'm proud of you for every inch you've swam, biked, and run this past year, and proud of you for giving 78.6 a go. Any new distance is a PR, right? You're still a champion in my book, M-dot or no.
Such a bummer that after so many months it will come short, but nothing can take away your victory in the race you DO run, and I have no doubt a marathon PR is within your grasp. And I know racing is personal and you're just concerned about your own race, but I'm sure you aren't the only one who is doing their first IM and is devastated by the shorter course, so you definitely aren't alone in your frustrations!ReplyDelete
That seriously stinks that you have had your heart and training set for one thing and now you are going to be doing something else. I get why you are upset about it. Either way though, if you decide to do it...I know you will give it your all and rock it because that is just who you are. I think it is incredible that you even have the drive and want to complete the race and that makes you a champ in my book!ReplyDelete
I'm so, so sorry this happened and I don't think you're being dramatic at all in your feelings. I don't even know what to say. I hope you still have an amazing race even if it isn't the one you wanted/expected.ReplyDelete
i am really so angry for you, and disappointed and just... ugh. so unfair, so rude.ReplyDelete
but you are right, they are just words. you don't need them. if your life ended right after the race, and it was a full ironman, would you feel complete and happy and ready to go? or if there was a choice - do the shorter distance but continue living with your life, husband, pets, family? which one would you choose? obviously that is ridiculous and not going to happen, but you know? it puts it into perspective. doesn't make it any less sucky and i am still so angry for you, but this is out of your control (but really why couldn't they just make the 50 mile loop or whatever like back round again? then at least it's 100? but i know nothing about triathlons, i'm sure there is a reason) and it's not like YOU gave up. it's still your journey and you are still an ironman by doing this race.
So disappointed for you. Came to read your recaps today and while I already read this on insta it still stings for you. Still, Im so so so proud of you girl. You rock and you are an ironman!ReplyDelete

Lagos, Nigeria (PANA) - Nigeria has said the recent retention of the Category One status of the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will open up the sector for the much-needed investments.
''With the retention of this Category One, we in the NCAA (Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority) believe there is a level playing field for all shades of investors to tap into the corresponding and emerging business opportunities that will provide a value chain for the industry,'' NCAA Director-General Benedict Ayileka told journalists here this weekend.
He said the retention of Category One status would also take the nation's main gateway Murtala Mohammed International Airport ''a step closer to attaining the much-vaunted Regional Hub Status.''
Mr. Ayileka assured that the NCAA would continue to train and retrain its staff to ''sustain the professionalism that already existed in the Authority''.
The NCAA boss also assured Nigerians that it would continue to ensure that air travel is safe and secure at all times, with a ''zero tolerance'' for any form of violation.
PANA reports that Nigeria's Category One status, first awarded in 2009, was recently re-certified by the FAA, with the issuance of certification to Aviation Minister Osita Chidoka.
This means the NCAA has been assessed by FAA inspectors and has been found to licence and oversee air carriers in accordance with aviation safety standards of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).

New Offerings via Insight Timer app
Dear Friends,
I am happy to share that I have started offering guided meditations/yoga nidra on the Insight Timer app.
This is one of the first apps I started using many years ago as I began exploring meditation. I feel fortunate that I can now also share the beauty this practice with a wider audience through this platform. I will continue to post meditations both here on this site and on Insight Timer as well.
The app has many benefits in that you can use its simple timer feature to time your meditation, check the statistics on frequency of practice, journal your experience and access many of the free guided meditations from teachers around the globe. There is still a free download available for this application.
If you are interested, here is the link to what I have shared.
You can also download the app on your smart phone or device. If you do take a listen to what I have shared, thank you for allowing me to guide you. 🙏🏾
Gratefully, Sheila

ROCHESTER � Beaver County Transit Authority service changes starting July 6 will include extended hours on several routes, but increased fares on in-county single tickets and elimination of service to Pittsburgh International Airport and Robinson Town Centre.
�We�re reacting to the market and what the current market dictates,� said Mary Jo Morandini, the authority�s general manager.
BCTA plans to push back final transfer times at its Rochester hub for Routes 1, 2 and 11 to 10:30 p.m. on weekdays and 6:30 p.m. on Saturdays. Route 1 runs between Chippewa Township and Pittsburgh, Route 2 from Rochester to Ambridge and Route 11 from Rochester to Vanport Township.
�That adds several hours to each route,� said Morandini, adding that with the change, �more people, including students and second-shift employees, will be able to take advantage of BCTA�s services.�
Also under the service changes, BCTA�s Route 6, which currently runs between Rochester and Robinson Township, will be modified to include stops throughout the Center Township retail corridor en route to its final stop at the Hopewell Business and Industrial Park. It will no longer make stops at Hopewell�s Green Garden Plaza, Pittsburgh International or Robinson Town Centre.
Route 2, however, will continue to serve Green Garden Plaza.
With regard to the Route 6 cuts to the airport and Robinson Town Centre, Morandini said �at least two-thirds of our ridership got off within the Beaver County line. That service (to the airport and Robinson) was a poor performer. We have a bigger need within the county.�
Also under the changes, BCTA plans to increase in-county fares for one-way tickets to $2, up from $1.75. All other fares and multitrip passes will remain the same, Morandini said.
Two trips will be added to the Route 4 Express 60 service: a 9:10 a.m. departure from Pittsburgh to the Center Township Park-N-Ride and a 2:30 p.m. departure from Center to Pittsburgh.

- The contest, aimed at promoting healthy eating and culinary skills among young people, gave the finalists two hours to cook a three-course meal for two on a budget of £14.
- The eight girls and four boys had cooked their way through club, district, and regional heats, beating nearly 1,500 other contestants ages 17 and under to make it to the finals in Lutterworth, England, on 5 May.

Another wonderful July week has come and gone. We've had a run of extremely hot, humid days -- almost every mornings' weather reports saying "60% chance of rain and/or thunderstorms" (coming and not coming true) -- and even a huge storm with tornado warnings and a funnel cloud half an hour south of us.
My wusband and I had a running joke about "talkin' about the weather" with his east coast family. Now that I no longer live in the mild Pacific Northwest, I realize that these extremes can control your being outside or scrambling from one air-conditioned house/car/building to another!
That being said, today's weather is perfect!! So, from the blissful comfort of our back yard patio, I bring you the daily photos of this past week in Ottawa....
