The past few days here have been abnormally hot….about in the 90's which is pretty rare around here. Except yesterday that is…it was slightly chilly, very over cast and almost fall type weather. I wanted something filling for breakfast, not cereal. I was going to try and make a flour blend that I could use for pancakes but realized I needed to order some more flours to do that and saw that I had half a package of Trader Joe's GF Pancake mix left so I decided to make those.
I am not one for plain pancakes. I love chocolate chips in mine. I didn't have any yesterday so I looked around to see what I had and could incorporate into my pancakes. I found some cinnamon, some nutmeg, some pumpkin pie spice and some walnuts.
1/2 package of Trader Joe's GF Pancake mix (follow directions on the back of package)
1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice (Trader Joe's)
1/4 cup chopped walnut pieces (Trader Joe's)
Prepare Pancake mix as the package says. Stir in the pumpkin pie spice. In a large pre-heated skillet with a little bit of non-stick spray drop in about 3 pancakes (about 1/4 cup each of batter…or however large/small you like them). Then they start to bubble add walnuts and then flip over to cook on the other side.
Pancakes should only be flipped once. When you see the bubbles start to form you know that is almost time to flip. The bottom should then be a nice golden brown.
You can make all of the pancakes at once and either refrigerate or freeze them. Or you can make what you would like and then save the batter for a day or two in the refrigerator. I made all of mine at once and just put them in the toaster this morning to have again. Very tasty.

One of the more exciting aspects of FFB's recent annual conference, VISIONS 2013, was the news on the clinical development of several emerging stem cell therapies. The field has picked up a lot of steam, with many new human studies of stem-cell treatments anticipated to begin in 2014 and 2015.
What's particularly noteworthy is that some of these trials will be for people with retinitis pigmentosa (RP) — a population not yet included in human stem-cell studies. Also, investigators will evaluate new types of cells and new, innovative approaches to implanting them.
Here's a review of three of the stem-cell clinical studies on the horizon:
Riken Institute: Sheets of RPE Derived from Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells
In June, the Japanese Health Ministry gave approval to the Riken Institute to launch a clinical trial of sheets of retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells for the treatment of wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The study is planned for 2014.
The sheets will replace native RPE cells damaged by leaky blood vessels, which are the hallmark of wet AMD. RPE cells play a critical role in supporting photoreceptors, the cells that make vision possible.
For the first time in a human study, the researchers will produce RPE cells from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) — stem cells derived by turning back the development clock on a small sample of skin taken from the patient. The stem cells are then coaxed forward to become RPE. Because the cells come from the patient, there's less chance of immune rejection.
David Gamm, M.D., Ph.D., of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, said that transplanting sheets of RPE cells — rather than injecting a bolus or a clump of cells — was likely to produce better results, because RPE cells naturally occur as a layer in the retina. He believes that sheets of cells have a better chance to integrate and function normally.
By the way, Dr. Gamm, in collaboration with Dennis Clegg, Ph.D., of the University of California, Santa Barbara, is receiving Foundation funding to develop a patch of cells — comprised of photoreceptors and RPE cells — for treating retinal diseases. While his work is still a few years away from the clinic, it is very promising, because so many retinal diseases affect both of these cell types.
UC Irvine: Retinal Progenitor Therapy for Reactivating the Retina
Henry Klassen, M.D., Ph.D., of the University of California, Irvine, and a former recipient of a Foundation Career Development Award, is planning to launch a clinical trial of a stem-cell therapy for people with RP. He hopes to begin the study in late 2014 or early 2015.
His treatment involves the transplantation of progenitor stem cells — cells that have partially developed into retinal cells. Based on results from his lab studies, he believes the progenitors will rescue and reactivate dormant cones in the retinas of people with early- and late-stage disease.
Not only is Dr. Klassen an outstanding scientist, he's resourceful and collaborative — qualities that will undoubtedly enhance his chances of success. He obtained a $17.3 million grant from the California Institute of Regenerative Medicine, a legislative initiative providing $3 billion in funding over 10 years for stem cell research in facilities throughout California. Dr. Klassen's project was also accepted into the Therapeutics for Rare and Neglected Diseases (TRND) program established by the National Institutes of Health to speed the development of new treatments for rare and neglected diseases. TRND will provide him with specialized expertise and resources to help advance his efforts.
ReNeuron: Retinal Progenitor Therapy for Replacing Lost Photoreceptors
One of the more ambitious stem-cell treatments nearing human study is being developed by ReNeuron, a company from the United Kingdom. Its retinal progenitor treatment replaces photoreceptors lost to retinitis pigmentosa. When transplanted in the retina, ReNeuron researchers believe that the partially developed cells will mature into fully functional photoreceptors. The company hopes to launch a clinical trial, probably in the U.K., in the next year or two.
Previously funded by the Foundation, Michael Young, Ph.D., of Schepens Eye Institute, Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary, conducted much of the research making this treatment approach possible. His work included the development of a biodegradable scaffold for growing and organizing the cells prior to transplantation. The structure increases the chances of survival and integration of the therapeutic cells.
But Wait — There's More
Fortunately, there are far too many promising stem-cell research efforts to cover in one post, so here are links to other retinal-disease projects:
- ACT Expands Clinical Trial of Stem-Cell-Derived Retinal Treatment
- Bone Marrow Stem Cells in Clinical Trial for Retinal Diseases
- Stem Cells, Inc. Launches Clinical Trial for Dry AMD Treatment

Nathaniel Hawthorne, celebrated in his own day for sketches that now seem sentimental, came only gradually to be fully appreciated for what his friend Herman Melville diagnosed as the "power of blackness" in his fiction - the complex moral grappling with sin and guilt. By the 1850s, Hawthorne had already been accepted into the American canon, and since then, his works - especially 'The Scarlet Letter' - have remained ubiquitous in American culture. Along with this has come an explosion of Hawthorne criticism, from New Criticism, New Historicism, and Cultural Studies to queer theory, feminist scholarship, and transatlantic criticism, that shows no signs of slowing. This book charts Hawthorne's canonization and the ongoing critical discourse, drawing on two senses of "entanglement." First the sense from quantum physics, which allows us to see what were once seen as strict dualisms in Hawthorne as more complex relations where the poles of the would-be dualities play off of and affect each other; second, the sense of critics being tangled up in, caught up in, Hawthorne the man and his work and in previous critics' views of him. Charting the course of Hawthorne criticism as well as his place in popular culture, this book sheds light also on the culture in which his reception has occurred. Samuel Chase Coale is Professor of American Literature and Culture at Wheaton College, Norton, Massachusetts.

I waited to throw your hands around and speak added ended in it yet to get to play the game that way ... and I that I wanna bias ... but now the real question is how do they make it a real game changer and how do they help that you know that under the weather technologies do is ... put in there that make it really differ ... and and and and in fact the industry itself this despite what some people in the business I isn't doing the right package grain products and down ... twenty five percent April to April aam and the console the Marlins in the U S and consular online sales down twenty two percent ... and it's not just of the console rising by the console and I'm a look see you know great deal of the venue called ago By became so I'm a lot of the dance can be quite pricey sixty box ... and although the economy on the boat was a few years ago ... is still weak right and that ... was good to know that ... with its patented but the other part of it it's it's fair to mention that we aren't the Fiat the trough of what's considered that the console cycle ... so you know at the end of when Eastman nice tees its tail when we're kind of used on these games ... against Oakland where people are buying them any more games because hey there waiting for the new thing ... so the real question is what's the uptick in a lot like this to be some sort of of tech ... idea Nintendo sold three million we use between November and December ... of last year ... so the question is can Micra soft keep its momentum up ... and sunny tree gain momentum ... and can again in this theory that calm as big as it was you know who we're talking about back in two thousandseven that that that growth rates for spectacular ... am right now ... gets to be PricewaterhouseCoopers for example there are not expecting much of a bump at all and so the real question is you know how much can this industry grow we know this Congress on but ... you know that this new technologies and a half to grab more than the hardcore gamers which of course to Nevada to play the latest Call of Duty ... but when you need more you need more than the ... teenage boys in the placement on your feet ... on the console Sinosteel the we have five million in twenty twelve PS three ... aam PlayStation three an eight mile on the Xbox three sixty three point four million I knew right it's a it's the grow fangs ... and getting the house for thirteen point so aam the for the next post ... getting people to the tothe to upgrade and and continued to fly isn't playing games online the way to go to some of the group de main ... aam where you're playing not just against your brothers and sisters new local friends of people awful all the way ... but much of the spending a lot of things as has Sunday night yet they feared the China bolstered their social networks that they've been building ...

by Pamela Rogow
For her final project at Pace University in New York City two years ago, Wyndmoor resident Shannon Agnew, who will be performing the one-woman show, "If I Were a Drag Queen, I Would Be Famous," in the Fringe Arts Festival next month, took on the Pulitzer Prize- and Tony Award-winning show, "I Am My Own Wife." Based on a true story, Doug Wright's play is usually performed by a man, and one man only. The play is about someone who survived childhood under the Nazis and adult life under the secret police in East Germany, and was a male-to-female transsexual, Charlotte von Mahlsdorf. It's a "100% true story, and 90% based on interviews Doug Wright conducted in Germany over several years. The rest is poetic license."
"Jefferson Mays was the original performer on Broadway," Shannon explained, "so it's generally thought to be a man's role. But we learned that in one of the early read-throughs, they used a woman. My teacher at Pace [University] emailed Wright in Texas to let him know our plans, and we were thrilled to hear back from him, and to receive his encouragement for the gender switch here.
"It's one actor, 37 characters … You talk to yourself. It takes tremendous physicality. And specificity has to be so on point, to make it work … an exhilarating thing to work on. I'm hoping to bring it to Philadelphia some time."
Unless you consider Shannon's childhood obsession, which was watching "The Wizard of Oz" endlessly and impersonating its characters, this play was her first exploration of the artful gender bender. Now 23, Shannon grew up in an artistic family with shows in their Wyndmoor backyard, puppets for playmates and sisters who joined in the fun, even if one eventually became an equine veterinarian and the other headed to politics. Their mother, Ginger Agnew, a longtime theater professional, will direct "If I Were a Drag Queen."
"I had my first taste of the theater at Woodmere Museum in Chestnut Hill where I was in the children's ensemble for a performance of 'La Boheme,'" said Shannon. "I loved it, and by the time I was at Springfield Township High, I knew this is what I wanted to do, though I thought it would just be a vocation."
She reveled in recounting her training at Pace. "The musical theater program is rigorous, but it allows you to find your niche and cultivate something about yourself. It's not cookie-cutter training. It's also about what you bring to the art." And of course, the school is in New York City, the ultimate theater town.
Shannon recalled how college friends asked her to create their voicemail messages in the different characters they knew she could impersonate — Ethel Merman, Julie Andrews, Patti LuPone, Liza Minnelli, Billie Holiday and others. "I've been impersonating since I was a little kid." You should hear her Judy Garland!
Fast forward past professional work on a national tour and locally to last summer when she wrote a 30-minute show for a cabaret series. It had four characters she knew well from impersonating their singing styles and personae. "People loved it, so for the Fringe this year, I rewrote the show and gave it more technology, and now it's nine characters like Barbra Streisand, Billie Holiday, Julie Andrews, Patti Lu Pone … " And nine costume changes.
Shannon will debut "If I Were a Drag Queen" on Wednesday, Sept. 11 at the Society Hill Playhouse's Red Room. "The show interpolates a lot of Broadway hits and standards … and also uses melodies of hit Broadway show tunes and lyrics, some with parody lyrics. It's part 'Forbidden Broadway' and part 'Legends,' the Atlantic City show that features impersonations of celebrities."
So why call up the Drag Queen in the title? "I saw a lot of drag theater and performance art in New York. I understand the art of drag. I love the exploration of femininity, the over-the-topness," she said, "and last year I was hired by Quince Productions to sing at Gay Pride at Penn's Landing, the openers for the closing of the Festival. I sang 'We Kiss in the Shadow' from 'The King and I' and 'Lesbian Love Story.' I had 100 people there who loved it, but I was followed by a drag queen performance. They looked fabulous, and they were lip synching! The drag queens gave diva realness, and Penn's Landing filled right up! More than a thousand people streamed in! I thought, 'If I Were a Drag Queen, I Would Be Famous!'"
Then the light bulb went off, in the way of all performers: "I know, I'll do a show!"
And now, ladies and gents, come see it! Shannon's fast-paced, one-woman cabaret-style "If I Were a Drag Queen" brings all the prime suspects you'd see in a drag show — parody, live performance, struts, costumes — but also live performance of song, original lyrics, standup comedy, video vignettes and interaction that you don't see in drag shows. Look for impersonations of Broadway legends and parody of Broadway today.
According to the Pace University Press, Agnew's performances have been described as, hilarious, remarkable, magical, "haunting, beautiful, chilling and real, delivered with a skill far beyond her years"
"If I Were A Drag Queen" will be performed at the Fringe Arts Festival on Sept 11, 12, 13 at 7 p.m.; Sept. 14 at 2 and 7 p.m.; and Sept 15 at 5 p.m. in the Red Room at Society Hill Playhouse, 507 S. 8th St. For ticket information, email firstname.lastname@example.com, purchase tickets at the door (cash) or at livearts-fringe.org (Box office opens Aug. 29.)

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. — Rod Perry of Port Orange, Fla., and Sonny Skinner of Sylvester, Ga., whose consistency carried them throughout the season to success in both Section and national events, have earned the respective 2012 PGA Professional and Senior PGA Professional Player of the Year Awards.
It was the first national award for Perry, 39, who has set several milestones with his season-ending honor. He is the first left-handed player, the first PGA Golf Management University graduate and the second North Florida PGA member to be named PGA Professional Player of the Year.
Skinner, 52, earned his third consecutive Senior PGA Professional Player of the Year Award after a campaign that included winning last winter's PGA Senior Stroke Play Championship and passing on a berth in the PGA Professional National Championship last summer in order that one of his fellow Georgia PGA Section members could compete for the first time.
Perry and Skinner will be honored June 21, 2013, in Sunriver, Ore., at the 46th PGA Professional National Championship presented by Club Car, Mercedes-Benz USA and OMEGA.
The final Player of the Year standings were determined based on a point system involving both national and PGA Section competitions from Jan. 1 through Dec. 17, 2012. Perry, in his first season as a PGA head professional at Crane Lakes Golf and Country Club in Port Orange, finished tied for second in the PGA Professional National Championship at Seaside, Calif. He also won his third North Florida PGA Section Championship in August, and two PGA Tournament Series titles in Port St. Lucie, Fla., and was the No. 1 Series money-winner.
Perry earned 1,377.5 overall points, including 362.5 for sharing runner-up in the National Championship, 300 for Section Player of the Year and 200 additional points for winning the Section Championship and Section PGA Professional Championship. He also gained 200 for leading the PGA Tournament Series money list and 100 for capturing two Series events. Three-time PGA Professional Player of the Year Bob Sowards of Dublin, Ohio, was runner-up with 1,190 overall points, followed by Danny Balin of Rockville, Md., with 1,135; Mitch Lowe of Modesto, Calif., with 886; and Kelly Mitchum of Southern Pines, N.C., with 862.5.
"It has been quite a year, a big job change for me going from director of instruction to head professional," said Perry, a native of York, Pa., who has served since April as PGA head professional at Crane Lakes Golf and Country Club in Port Orange. "With the new job, you're playing expectations are less. I ended up with a good National Championship finish, tying for second at a place in the country that I absolutely love going to play."
Perry, a 1996 graduate of Mississippi State University, said that his goals were to "play well enough to finish in the Top 20 and have a good chance of making the PGA Cup Team. I enjoyed playing a course like (Bayonet Black Horse), which was tough, but was the type of golf that favors me. I have been able to play better on the tougher courses."
Perry follows former North Florida PGA member Brett Upper (1990), then of Clearwater, Fla., to win the national award. Perry credited his surge to the top of the final standings after receiving the endorsement of his employer, the Becks family of Daytona Beach, Fla., owners of Crane Lakes Country Club, and from Director of Business Development Craig Wells.
Cleared to compete in the season-ending PGA Tournament Series, Perry went on to cap his big season in style. "It was a tough three weeks, traveling two hours to compete in Port St. Lucie in the PGA Tournament Series and head back after each event," said Perry. "Thankfully, my club gave me the opportunity to compete for a once-in-a-career opportunity. It is an honor to join the many decorated players who have their names on this award. I started getting serious for golf later than most, around 18 of 19 years old. I ended up doing something I love."
Skinner of River Pointe Golf Club in Albany, Ga., finished with 999.49 overall points for Senior PGA Professional Player of the Year honors. With his award, Skinner matches Chris Starkjohann of Oceanside, Calif., who won titles in (2006, '07, '09).
Tom Byrum of Sugar Land, Texas, was runner-up in the 2012 campaign with 856.55 points, followed by Jeff Coston of Blaine, Wash., with 730; Craig Stevens of Dallas, Ga., with 685.67, and Stuart Smith of Reno, Nev., with 647.21. Skinner remains the only Georgia PGA Section member to win the award. Skinner was the 2008 PGA Professional Player of the Year, and is the only PGA of America member to win both awards.
Skinner boosted his chances for a third national award by dominating the majority of his peers below 50 years of age by winning a second Georgia PGA Section Championship. He collected 225 Section Player of the Year points, an additional 100 for winning the Section Championship; 168.5 for a share of third place in the Southworth Senior PGA Professional National Championship; and 115 points through PGA Tournament Series. He collected 125 points by winning the PGA Senior Stroke Play Championship and finished as the low PGA Club Professional and a share of 44th place in the Senior PGA Championship presented by KitchenAid.
"I like to think that I am getting better as I get older," said Skinner. "When you get older, you do see some parts of your game diminish. I just work to get better every day in some way, which isn't that different from any other golfer. I could be in better shape physically, and will work harder to stay in good shape. All I ever wanted to be coming out of college was to be a PGA Professional. I am blessed to have had the support of several PGA Professionals growing up and for the support of my club and my family."
Last summer, despite having earned another PGA Professional National Championship trip, Skinner saw an opportunity to play in a Champions Tour event and ensure that fellow Section PGA Professional Bill Murchison III of Canton, Ga. – who had never played in the National Championship – gain a spot in the field. Murchison replied by finishing among the Top 20, and advancing to play in the PGA Championship.
"That was great the way things turned out," said Skinner. "Next year, I am excited about getting back to the PGA Professional National Championship at Sunriver (Ore.), and to be in the Senior PGA Championship at Bellerive (in St. Louis). Both are excellent venues, and I am grateful that The PGA of America allows PGA club professionals the opportunity to compete in a major championship."
The PGA Professional Player of the Year award began in 1984, while the Senior PGA Professional Player of the Year honor made its debut in 1995.

Now, if you've read the Iron Cupcake London IV write up, you will no doubt have marvelled at the number of cupcakes. However, because we imposed a timetable that eating could only commence at 6.45pm, I feared that people might waste away from hunger in the run up to 'eating time' thus made some cupcakes of my own to offer.
I kept it very simple – no point competing with the spectacular entries – and made basic vanilla and chocolate cupcakes.
I kept it very simple – no point competing with the spectacular entries – and made basic vanilla and chocolate cupcakes.
The sponges are a great starting point for any cupcake and the glace icings are ideal when you don't have the time or the inclination to make a buttercream.
For the plain cupcake sponge:
125g unsalted butter, at room temperature
125g caster sugar
2 eggs
125g self raising flour
2 tablespoons milk
For the chocolate cupcake sponge:
125g unsalted butter, at room temperature
125g caster sugar
2 eggs
100g self raising flour
25g cocoa powder
2 tablespoons milk
For the vanilla glace icing:
250g icing sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2-4 tablespoons warm water
For the chocolate glace icing:
250g icing sugar
2 teaspoons cocoa powder, add more if required
2-4 tablespoons warm water
- The method for both types of cupcakes are the same, so please follow this method for both. Each recipe makes 12 standard cupcakes:
- Preheat the oven to 190°C/fan oven 170°C/375°F/Gas mark 5.
- Line a cupcake pan with paper cases (each recipe makes 12 cupcakes).
- Beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs, flour and milk - if you are making the chocolate cupcakes also add the cocoa at this point.
- When the mixture is smooth and well combined, spoon into the paper cases.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the cupcakes comes out clean. Mine took 13 minutes.
- Leave to cool on a wire rack and remove from the tin when cool enough to handle.
- When the cupcakes are cool, you can make the glace icing.
- Put the icing sugar in a bowl – add the vanilla if making vanilla icing, the cocoa if making chocolate glace.
- Add 2 tablespoons of warm water and whisk. You will need to add more water but do it gradually until you achieve a thick, but still slightly runny icing.
- Quickly spoon over the top of the cupcakes and either allow to spread naturally or use a knife. Work quickly as it will set and you will lose the smoothness if you spread it.
- Decorate as required.
- Bask in the glory of the wonderful thing you have made.
- Eat.

With a true passion for conservation, HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco visits Song of the Whale
It is beyond surreal to sit on the deck of the International Fund for Animal Welfare's sailing research vessel Song of the Whale while she is berthed at the private pontoon of the Yacht Club of Monaco – a Mediterranean blur of blazing sun, gorgeous blue water, stunningly expensive sports cars and even more expensive super yachts tucked into this sparkling jewel of a harbor.
At a mere 72 feet in length, Song of the Whale doesn't make the largest impression, and her sail plan may not be the most exotic of the incredible vessels anchored here.
But her pursuit of IFAW's mission during a research cruise over the next two months may well make hers the most important.
It is for this reason that the vessel and the team of committed men and women carrying out this aspect of IFAW's whale protection work have been invited here by the Prince Albert II Foundation for a pre-voyage visit to the vessel from His Serene Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco himself.
At 0.78 sq. miles, the Principality of Monaco is not the largest nation engaged in efforts to protect the global marine environment but she and her Prince have long punched well above their weight in the international fight to protect whales and other marine species and their habitats from the many threats they face - more threats today than ever before in history. Leading regional and international marine conservation organizations are based here, including the Mediterranean Science Commission, with which IFAW has organized the coming research cruise and other long-time partners.
This week, the Prince Albert II Foundation and the Oceanographic Institute of Monaco host the fourth annual Monaco Blue Initiative, an annual gathering of ocean protection heavyweights from around the world focused on identifying new approaches to improving protection for marine ecosystems and species while promoting a "Blue growth" dynamic.
So, surreal though it seems, beneath the shiny surface, the timing, topic and substance of Song of the Whale's visit make her brief berthing in glittering Monaco a very good fit.
The timing for Prince Albert's visit is 5:30 sharp – his first stop on the first evening of "Blue Initiative" events. He is on time and, after a few obligatory photos for local media, eager to get on board, take a look at the technology and talk with the IFAW team about their work. Senior Scientist Anna Cucknell gives the presentation, concluding with fresh images of the other recent VIP visitors to the boat - an inquisitive pod of pilot whales who spent time checking out the vessel as she sailed off the south coast of Spain.
Interacting with His Serene Highness in this and other settings over the past several years consistently confirms his genuine passion for ocean protection. This is not just another well-briefed head of state. The only world leader to have stood at both the North and the South Pole, steeped in the maritime history of the city state his family has ruled since 1297, Prince Albert is wading well into the issues himself. Like the excited IFAW team members meeting with him, he is eager to explore, impatient for new information, pressing for practical solutions that offer a way forward.
We brief him on the field season ahead – state-of-the-art visual and acoustic surveys of as yet unstudied waters of the Aegean and the Med, new research techniques being pioneered by IFAW and the Song of the Whale team to better track and understand how sperm whales interact with increasing large vessel traffic invading their habitats, our hopes to find fin whales, fastest of the great whales and the planet's second largest species, even now being hunted in the North Atlantic by a lone Icelandic businessman hell-bent on reopening the international whale meat trade.
H.S.H. takes it all in, clearly engaged by the expertise and enthusiasm of the young research team. He is easy to be with and asks lots of questions, logistical, technical and nautical. We tell him of the local schoolchildren who will visit the boat tomorrow morning before she sets sail to help protect the world they will someday inherit.
The Prince inspects the entire vessel stem to stern, sleeping quarters, engine room, galley and then lingers a long while, chatting with the team. One almost gets the sense that if life were different, he would happily push off with us Tuesday morning. Before disembarking, he leaves a gift of "Oceans" - a book of gorgeous images by renowned photographer Jacques Perrin.
"Thank you so much for all you are doing" he says as he farewells each of us.
We promise to send updates, pose together once more for the media and then, as quickly as he arrived, he is gone, whisked away to his next event.
Watch this first of three installments from the 2012 Song of the Whale's research season below. Follow IFAW's purpose built research vessel, the Song Of The Whale, to Stellwagen Bank off the coast of Massachusetts. She joins a team from NOAA to undertake a first of its kind project to collect a full 24 hours of data from tagged humpback whales. The mission is to learn what these magnificent creatures, especially mother/calf pairs, do at night below the surface. Watch part II of "The Night Whale" here.

Dynamic Metabolic Testing for Training
Personal training is about revenue, relationships and results.
As a personal trainer, you are probably dialed into the relationships that help create a revenue stream for you in your particular niche. Successful trainers often overcome weaknesses in programming or knowledge with positive and professional relationships with clients. However, add superior results to exceptional schmoozing, and you have a great business where you are always in demand.
To help clients achieve superior results, trainers will need to conduct tests showing customers the best ways to make improvements. When most trainers think of exercise testing, they envision generic computer reports that tell clients how they fared compared to some average score. As a start to better fitness, that type of testing can be useful in pointing clients in the right direction while giving them an idea of how much time is required to obtain results. After some basic training, however, most clients want more detailed and personalized information about how they can progress to the next level.
When it comes to strength training, personal trainers can easily conduct tests and personalize information. With the myriad of certifications and books that stress resistance training systems, most trainers are adept at giving the client a targeted training program to improve strength and power factors. Unfortunately, when it comes to energy system development, most trainers point to the treadmill and say something like, "Go do 30 minutes of cardio." This cosmic, "just feel it" approach to energy system training stands in stark contrast to the time and attention given to the clients' resistance training program.
Energy system training is not just "cardio" anymore; rather, it's a set of specific energy zones with specific results. Trainers don't acknowledge this, and, as a result, they allow their clients to pursue aerobic programs using generic and inappropriate energy training zones. This approach may negate all the hard work with weight training.
It doesn't have to be this way. New equipment has arrived that enables the trainer to measure and prescribe energy system exercise precisely and individually — no matter what the client's goals. Based upon gas exchange (GX) testing, the equipment can administer a sub-maximal or maximal test that detects the important points of anaerobic threshold, respiratory compensation point (hyper-ventilation before max) and VO2 peak.
Systems now available offer trainers the ability to become just as much of an expert in energy system programming as they are in strength training. In addition, these systems offer additional precision in determining resting energy expenditure or the amount of kcal the person burns at rest, forming a base for nutritional intervention for weight loss.
What seems like physiological babble is really important for helping the client to set individual heart rate zones for maximum results. Anaerobic threshold helps to determine the best time vs. kcal output pace, and can range from 45 percent in someone just starting to exercise to more than 92 percent in elite cyclists like Lance Armstrong.
For the trainer, knowing the best zones for the individual and his/her goals is important not only for the person's health, but for the ultimate resistance results from the program. Using individual sprint zones in energy system training can substantially raise the work capacity during resistance training, so the client can perform more sets with a better quality of work within his/her training session.
Using an individual's optimum recovery zone after an especially intense resistance session can help speed healing and restoration. If the client doesn't have the basic endurance to complete a resistance training session, then more work in the endurance zone may be the answer.
No matter what the goal, matching clients' desires to individualized training zones detected through GX testing will give superior results, returning clients and ultimately long-term revenue opportunities.

The father of a corrections officer killed more than a decade ago carried a sign Monday along a line of potential jurors, urging them not to impose the death penalty if they convict the inmate accused of the killing.
Bob Autobee also carried a photo of his son, with a message to prosecutors that it is wrong to seek death against Edward Moutour in the 2002 death of Officer Eric Autobee.
Montour was serving a life sentence for killing his infant daughter when authorities said he beat Eric Autobee to death in the kitchen at Limon Correctional Facility. He pleaded guilty to the killing in 2003 and a judge sentenced him to death.
The Colorado Supreme Court, however, reversed that ruling in 2007 and the case was put on hold until April, when a Douglas County judge allowed Montour to withdraw his original plea, sending the case to a retrial.
Montour has now pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity.
In April, District Attorney George Brauchler announced he would seek the death penalty against Montour.
Jury selection in the case is expected to take as long as two months. Opening arguments will likely begin in March.
Up to 600 potential jurors were called to the courthouse and hundreds more will arrive in the next couple of weeks.
Bob Autobee spoke calmly with the crowd as eyes darted nervously toward and away from him, the Denver Post reported (http://tinyurl.com/n5cqwf3).
Several people asked questions: How old was his son? What punishment is he asking for? How long did his son work for the department of corrections?
Bob Autobee said it would be up to them to determine the proper punishment.

Captain's ReportPlaybuoy Tropic 20 SETest by Capt. Robert E. SmithPontoon boats can be a lot of fun. I never really thought about seeing them here in Florida, but after working with Greg Knight from Playbuoy, I have noticed them in many of the "scenic shots" on the news and other places. The Tropic is Playbuoy's bestseller for fishing, pleasure and fun. They emphasize giving the customer more for their money and adding value to gain market share. Playbuoy believes the American Way includes having more choices so they pack this one with standard features and offer a handy list of options while still remaining one of the most affordable pontoon boats around. Standard EquipmentStandard features were determined from the customer's requests and include a fiberglass helm, platinum gauges, CD Stereo, Pirhana Fishfinder/depth sounder, tilt wheel mooring cover, diamond textured carpet bimini top, aluminum seat frames and docking lights. Sounds like a nice list of basic needs to me. Her main entry is from the bow, but you can enter from either side or from the swim ladder entry at the back. The carpeting makes the entire area look more finished as it extends up the fronts of the benches. The aluminum framing gives the benches a sturdy feel and the Captain's chair is comfortable, swivels and has flip-up armrests. The Platinum gauges include tach, volts and fuel gauges. They even have a handy flip out cup holder to the left of the fiberglass helm station. The fish/depth instrument is front and center of the helm and makes you feel in command with all the information needed to stay off the bottom and to find the fish for dinner.Basic SpecsThe Playbuoy 20 has pontoons that are 20' in length and are 22 inches in diameter. Her deck is 20' long and 8' in the beam. She weighs 1,360 lbs dry and is rated to carry up to 2005 lbs or 8 persons with a maximum rated hp of 75. She has a real smooth ride and should be easy for anyone to handle. I did get some spray aboard while running the boat for testing and video, but remember, it was a rough day. I was concerned with the placement of the battery in an exposed position ahead of the engine pod because we did seem to get a lot of back spray while running. The battery is in a battery box, so that also should not be a problem, I would just rather see it under the bench where there is little doubt it will be safe and dry, you just lose some storage space that way.Rough Water TestBy the time Greg and I got the chance to take the Playbuoy Tropic out for testing, conditions had really begun to deteriorate. Sarasota Bay had two-foot chop and very dark ominous clouds. The 50-hp Johnson Four Stroke with a "pontoon" prop performed admirably in the rough water. She starts out at an idle of 900 rpm but slips along at 2.1 mph even in the rough conditions. She seemed happy to ride along at 4000 rpm and 11.5 mph, which seems perfect for riding across the lake or bay to your favorite beaches with the family. She can run up to 5900 rpm when you push the throttles all the way up. At this rate she is moving along nicely at 19.3 mph. Testing planing speed on a deck boat is hard enough, but in the foul weather and when it is getting dark, it gets harder yet she seems to be riding level in the water in only 3.5 seconds. With her Johnson four stroke 50-hp outboard, she easily kept the sound meter in the lower ranges and never exceeded 77 dBa. She is certainly going to be a quiet boat for entertaining.
Test Result Highlights
- Top speed for the Avalon Tropic 20 is 19.3 mph (31.1 kph), burning 9.75* gallons per hour (gph) or N/A liters per hour (lph).
- Best cruise for the Avalon Tropic 20 is 8.0 mph (12.9 kph), and the boat gets 6.0* miles per gallon (mpg) or N/A kilometers per liter (kpl), giving the boat a cruising range of 194* miles (N/A kilometers).
- Tested power is 1 x 50-hp Johnson 4-stroke.

Occasionally failing to save image to disk
Started by WebEye
Occasionally failing to save image to disk 19 December 2015, 22:23
First I love this software, after trying some other Ram disks!
But I've got a strange issue, I've got one 3GB bootable image, which is saved at shutdown. But this doesn't work every time, I tried out fat-32 as well as ntfs, sometimes it isn't saved at shutdown. I know about it from the timestamp of the image file, and primarily because of the lost data. So I do some tests and save the image manually before shutdown, and if I do so both savings do work, the manual and the automatic. But if I left the manual saving, the automatic saving does not work all time.
So do someone have a solution for this? Is there any log I can search for this error? Here are system specs:
Win 7 x64 (Sp1)
32GB installed RAM
The image is saved on a partition of a non-system HDD
So I think I will try to install a planned task to save the image at shutdown and stop the automatic saving. Maybe this will work, but I'm open to suggestions.

It's more reliable to initiate the save manually and wait until it completes before shutdown, or may be even not use an image file at all and backup files using a utility like Robocopy or Unison.
Re: Occasionally failing to save image to disk 21 December 2015, 21:19
thanks for support! I've recently disabled automatic saving and added a shutdown script in Windows Group Policy Editor, which saved my image. This works now two times in a row, maybe this is a workaround for me. Otherwise I will try automaticly saving all few minutes, or even robocopy or something. I will inform you...
Perhaps you are able to implement an error log in next versions to debug these strange things.
Thank you,

Re: Occasionally failing to save image to disk 17 January 2016, 00:50
sorry for reactivating this thread!
But I realize "/save:driveletter" in Shutdown script won't work proper, too! Sometimes it hangs at the shutdown screen and only a hard reset helps. But I think the reason for this is, that the save process hits a system locked file and the application throws a message...
So my next step was to replace the "/save:driveletter" script with a robocopy script, to mirroring the image bound ramdisk to another place on the hdd! i tested it for a while, and in fact there where two files which are sometimes locked from the system (foobar2000 and thunderbird files), so I exclude these files and this part works proper.
So now comes the strange thing, I thought, I need a restore script, too, but the Shutdown script updates the image file, too, and I do not understay why!? Is this ok, or is this a bug? Maybe you can explain this process
Maybe a feature for the future: another parameter to do the process in silent mode, not to throw (error)messages.

Regarding 'Shutdown script updates the image file', I am not quite sure what you mean. It's your file after all, I can't know what you programmed in it
Re: Occasionally failing to save image to disk 17 January 2016, 02:14
I've got a 3GB ntfs Ramdisk "Z:" bound to "F:\Ramdisks\HDDZ.img"
With following script, I backup the ramdisk:
robocopy "z:" "f:\Ramdisks\HDDZ" /R:20 /W:5 /MIR /XF "Z:\Users\...\AppData\Roaming\foobar2000\running" "Z:\Users\...\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\mo03ij0d.default\parent.lock" /LOG:"F:\Ramdisks\Backup.log"
These script runs at group policy windows-shutdown.
When the script runs, not only ""f:\Ramdisks\HDDZ" was updated, "F:\Ramdisks\HDDZ.img" will be updated, too!
All other saving methods are disabled.

Better yet, if you backup files with Robocopy now, then you don't need the image file anyway, so simply use a RAM Disk without any attached images.

Occationally doesn't save data from RamDisk to image file on SSD 02 March 2016, 09:44
I was just about to make a new thread with a similar title, but since my issue looks to the same I might as well continue this thread (sorry if this feels like a hijack)
Basic system info:
- Windows 10 pro
- 512GB Samsung Pro SSD as my C:\ drive.
I just installed the software yesterday, and created an 8 GB image file on the root of my C:\ drive. I added a RAM disk (not Add Boot Disk) and assigned it to that image file. I assigned it to drive letter A:\ . And I made sure to check the "Save contents to image" option in the settings.
I created a folder named "test" on the A:\ drive, then power down. Turning on the PC again, I see that "test" still exists in the A:\ drive. Here's where it gets inconsistent. I created a dummy text file inside of the "test" folder. And on the next power off/on cycle, the the text file would be gone, but the "test" folder is still there. I recreated the dummy.txt, and next time the dummy.txt will be there. Doing this several times, it seems sometimes the dummy.txt will be there after reboot, and sometimes not. But the "test" folder has been there all the time.
So it seems strange to me that some contents of the RAMdisk is saved to the image file after shutdown (the folder), and some not consistently (the dummy.txt) file.
After searching on line, this page mentions that
Note: If you use windows 8 or 10, you may want to disable "hybrid boot" which will make the contents of your ramdrive be wiped upon reboot.
Could this is an issue?
Any ideas?

It's okay, but the issue is in this case writing data back to the image is initiated by the GUI app. There's a good chance Windows kills the app before it's able to initiate writing or during that process.
I recommend to try a boot-time disk. With a boot-time disk, a shutdown is intercepted by the RAM Disk driver and it can tell the system it needs time to save the data.

Fla. Congressman Uses KKK Imagery In Email
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Republicans say a fundraising email sent out by Democratic U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson of Florida that shows a burning cross in the words "Tea Party" is "unacceptable and deplorable."
The email has a photo depicting a burning cross with Ku Klux Klan members in white robes in the background. The words "Tea Party" appear on the image, with the burning cross serving as the letter "T."
The email was sent earlier this week.
Lenny Curry, the chairman of the Republican Party of Florida, demanded in a statement that state Democrats condemn Grayson for making the comparison between the KKK and the Tea Party.
Grayson said in a statement released Wednesday that Tea Party members have a record of making racist remarks.
Grayson says "if the hood fits, wear it."

After she graduated from Barnard in 1998, Heather Currier Hunt's life started down the path she had more or less anticipated: She earned an MFA in creative writing from the New School, got married, and settled in a tiny Pennsylvania town where she and her artist husband, Colin, could work on their respective media. They bought a house and had a baby.
Then it was discovered that their daughter, Willa, had a rare genetic defect called Costello Syndrome, which causes global developmental delays and other health problems. "After the shock of the initial diagnosis," she tells Barnard, "you feel incredibly cut off. As a classic Barnard woman, I'd done all my homework about pregnancy and parenting. And then I had Willa and none of it applied whatsoever. I felt cut off from the life I thought I'd have, from other mothers, from my own family."
So Hunt did something that, as "a complete Luddite," she never would have anticipated: She started pouring out her feelings on the Internet. Her Web site, a blog called "Living in Invisible Cities" (see sidebar for the URL), describes her life and feelings as a mother to a special-needs child.
"I found that getting my thoughts down, specifically in the form of a blog, was wildly helpful," she says. "It was journaling, but not just for me: it was public. To my surprise, other mothers I didn't know quickly started responding, saying they know what it feels like. It gave me a community feeling, the feeling that it's OK to say the ugly stuff. It was liberating and helped me move forward."
Blogging Women
Hunt is one of 8 million American women who maintain a "blog" (short for "Web log"), an online diary, political soapbox, or creative space open to any reader who stumbles upon it. Blogs have been a popular form of expression for at least 10 years, but have grown exponentially as a phenomenon since the creation of Blogger, WordPress, and other online services that make it possible for those with no technical expertise to create a personal Web site, often for free. Alumnae interested in reading or setting up a blog, but uncertain about where to start, can go to the new Alumnae Network, alum. barnard.edu, and create one or browse classmates' profiles for their blogs.
Today, "more than half of American women who [use the Internet] go to social networking sites [such as blogs, Facebook, and Twitter] every week," says Elisa Camahort Page, COO of BlogHer, an online media company focused on women. "That's 42 million women. It's more people than download music or share photos online."
Almost 23 million American women read blogs. Blogging is a "natural medium for women," she says, because it "fulfills the desire to have conversations, to form bonds. It's a powerful way for women to change the game for themselves, to create their own platform, be it for personal expression, or political opinions, or business views. For lots of women, blogs have replaced the kitchen table in our time-impoverished lives."
It's not just young women who blog. Although only 46 percent of baby boomer women are involved in online social networking, compared to 73 percent of "millennials" aged 18-26, since there are so many more boomers, they number about 3.5 million more than the youngest online social- networkers. According to Camahort Page, almost a third of women age 63 and older are using online social tools, including blogs. (Bloggers tend to be the most active users of all social media platforms.)
The vast majority of bloggers write about their daily lives or thoughts, often with a specific focus—such as the blogs by Barnard graduates on being a young mother with cancer ("Coffee and Chemo") or on being a Jew who is applying for German citizenship ("Fatherland")—though some alumnae, such as Caroline Pet Ceniza-Levine '93, blog on topics related to their businesses (in Ceniza-Levine's case, career coaching) as a means to garner publicity and new clients.
Those unfamiliar with blogging are often puzzled: Why would one reveal one's activities and thoughts on as public (and often cruel) a place as the Internet—and who reads these blogs, anyhow? According to Camahort Page, the top four reasons why people blog are entertainment, self-expression, finding a community of like-minded people (since most blogs enable readers to leave comments and thereby engage in dialogue), and sharing information or advice.
Readers often gravitate to blogs that either discuss a common interest or hobby (for example, many foodies enjoy reading "Not Derby Pie" by Rivka Friedman '05) or, alternatively, expose one to different ways of living or thinking. Heterosexuals may be enlightened by the work of Lily Icangelo '13, who blogs for the site Autostraddle about her experiences as a lesbian at Barnard.
Not surprisingly, Barnard graduates blog on a wide variety of topics, from becoming a single mother via sperm donor ("Jewish Single Mom By Choice"), to how to dress stylishly and inexpensively for a corporate job ("What Would Krissie Wear").
Creative Approach
Former Centennial Scholar and Barnard Writing Fellow Sasha Soreff '94, founder and creative director of Brooklyn's Sasha Soreff Dance Theater, blogs about choreography and the rehearsal process at sashasoreffdance.com. Since 2002, a congenital problem has prevented her from dancing barefoot, leading to the creation of her movement piece "The Dancer Who Wore Sneakers and Other Tales."
The company's Web site was already in place, but she added the blog to explore the question of "what it's like to have my whole style of dance have to change," she explains. "How do I navigate being a dancer who cannot be barefoot? And how would the act of writing about my creative process change my creative process?"
Now the blog is an important tool for her choreography. "It helps me be more rigorous in what I'm doing," she says, "more accountable and transparent. It forces me to be more honest about when something isn't working. I want to be able to articulate what's going on. Dance is hard for people to understand. It's not as accessible as theatre or music. I wanted to break down those barriers, communicate what is going on with me while I'm creating, in the hope that it will become more relatable." She also has open rehearsals, so that audience members can give feedback as Soreff's work is under construction.
Moneymaker or Hobby
Like other forms of writing, the blogging genre is rarely lucrative, but in some cases it can lead to, or create, income. Eventually, Soreff hopes her blog will draw potential producers or investors, just as Ceniza-Levine's blog— in conjunction with her newspaper articles, bi-monthly newsletters, and column for CNBC—helps her recruit new clients. "It's a way for people to get used to [my approach]," Ceniza- Levine says, "and see if what I do will work for them." Sarah Walker Caron '01, whose food blog, "Sarah's Cucina Bella," attracts 15-20 thousand visitors each month, earns enough revenue from advertising "to pay for the month's groceries, in a good month." And Kathy Ebel '89, author of "Fatherland," is shopping her blog to book publishers. However, garnering publicity and readers for a blog is a science unto itself, and most people who blog do it simply as a hobby.
Unlike Soreff, who has always considered herself a writer, current student Melissa Lohmann '10, started as a reluctant blogger. A psychology major, she received a Gilman Scholarship to study Japanese language and culture this past summer and fall, first with the Hokkaido International Foundation program, and then at Doshisha University as part of Barnard's Study Abroad program. The Gilman Scholarship requires participants to share their experiences or promote studying abroad, so Lohmann started a blog.
"I'd never been interested in reading friends' blogs," she says. "I didn't understand the concept of posting things for everyone else to see until I kept my own." She quickly discovered that her blog made it easy to stay in contact with friends and family in the States, who could check the Web site to read about her exploits. It also became a journal of her personal growth and a happy introduction to the writing life.
"I almost forgot about the whole service requirement," she says. "It allowed me to be creative. Before, I used writing to express myself only in school papers and e-mails to friends. This was more voluntary. Now, after writing a good blog post, I feel accomplished, and that I could be a writer. My aunt printed the whole thing—it's 200 pages—and put it in a binder and is reading it as if it were a novel. It makes me feel passionate about writing." Still, once she finishes recording the last few weeks of her trip, and the "re-entry" process to the United States, she's not sure whether she'll continue the blog project. Blogging, she says, is extremely time-consuming; in the time it took to write an "interesting and factual" post, she could have been experiencing something new outside.
(Gretchen Young, Barnard's dean for study abroad, maintains a list of blogs by Barnard students abroad at www. barnardabroad.blogspot.com.)
Proceed with Caution
Demonstrating the openness—some might say naïveté—of many young people who blog, Lohmann "never thought about potential employers or professors looking at my blog. If they did, I have nothing to hide. I'm not ashamed of anything. I'm not scared of putting anything on my blog."
There can be reasons to be scared, if not ashamed. Many authors of "personal blogs"—including Hunt, until recently— write anonymously to maintain their privacy. Others publish their names but blog about extremely limited subjects— Israeli politics, orphotography, rather than one's marriage or children—so as not to reveal one's private life on a public Web site.
Including too many details on a blog can lead to awkward situations, such as the time that Kristina "Krissie" McMenamin '05 wrote on her fashion blog that she's only once seen her boss in a skirt. "Someone told me later that [my boss] had read it," McMenamin says. "I freaked out because I didn't know my boss read my blog. She never said anything to me, and told someone else that she was flattered that I wrote about her. But since then I haven't mentioned anything about anyone else's personal style, unless I think it's really great." (Camahort Page said that only 3 to 5 percent of abandoned blogs come to an end because the author's family or employer finds out about it; the most common reasons for giving up blogging are lack of time, and loss of interest in the topic.)
One Barnard alumna, who graduated in the late 1990s, asked to remain anonymous because her blog, "Breeding Imperfection," focuses on her two children's multiple, deadly food allergies, and on her older son's hemophilia. Although those who know her can easily connect her family with the Web site, she doesn't want her husband's potential employers (she herself left graduate school to care for her children) to be able to discover, by Googling their names, that their health insurance must cover the older boy's $11,000-per-month treatments. Nor does she wish her son to be denied health insurance in the future because of her blog.
She blogs partly because writing about parenting helps her evaluate her own performance, and partly because, as an ex-academic, she needs the intellectual exercise, but "the more ruthless aspect of why I blog," she says, is that problems like bleeding disorders and anaphylactic shock are not "appropriate topics for casual conversation, unless you want to end the conversation." Like Hunt, she often feels invisible.
"I make my audience listen to me," she says of her blog, specifying that her site gets only about 30 "hits" a day, and she is writing to "a pretend audience, the girlfriend to whom you can say anything."
"I have a kid who needs me to stick needles in him," she continues. "He needs to be comfortable with the needles. So we empower him by teaching him to perform the procedure himself. This gives people the willies. I can't talk about it. But I can blog about it." Still, she adds, there is much about her personal life she does not post, since she knows that her parents and in- laws are regular readers.
Camahort Page confirmed that a large percentage of women bloggers are new mothers, mothers of special needs children, or grieving mothers—in other words, women who feel isolated and use blogging as a way to reach out to others who "get it."
"I'm surprised by the random people who leave comments on my posts," Hunt says. "It's a funny feeling—it's lovely. There are people out there connecting with me. Even if they don't know the whole me, they know the 'Living in Invisible Cities' me. The community of parents online with special-needs kids is so supportive, full of caring people who reach out and offer a kind word. It's special to be part of that."

AmvTek needed a new print or packaging design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 18 designs submitted by 4 freelance designers.
Ekoroad ( http://www.ekoroad.com/ ) is a **car pooling** website that let car owners and prospective passengers find themselves over the Internet. Drivers or passengers publish their trip offer/demand which can then be searched based on departure, arrival, date...
The service lets drivers manage a reservation/ticketing system for their own vehicles. After a passenger reservation has been approved by the driver, the platform forward an email to the passenger that contains 2 copies of a travel tickets that shall be presented to the driver prior to departure.
The object of this project is to design the travel ticket that is emailed to the passenger prior to departure.
The site targets users living in Europe.
Users are young adults familiar with the use of Internet technologies or professional which relies on the platform to propose person transportation services.
The document to be designed is a single page PDF file of size A4.
* The page shows 2 copies of the same travel ticket (size of each fits into A5)
* A split line is shown that allows separating the 2 tickets one from another
* This document will be printed by passengers using low cost personal printers. To help with this, the design shall only rely on **black and white/grayscale** colors
Ticket description :
* Each ticket displays 16 informations that are described in the attached file "ekoroad_ticket_content.pdf". The file provides design values (name, date, prices etc) for each information element. The designer shall use those design values to populate his design.
* Two sample layouts (see files "ticket_draft_layout...pdf") are provided to help the designer understands what a ticket is about.
* Provided layouts are for information only. We welcome designers proposals on the way tickets shall be organized.
We are after travel tickets that are :
* Aesthetic
* Readable
* Simple

About Kuroyume
"Re-framed, do you think the copyright holder should give up their rights because of a single dementia patient? Would you like to give up your rights to drive your car because one person on your block is bothered by the noise?"
Giving someone the permission to use your song without violating a copyright does not:
a) Let them use it for whatever purposes they want to
b) Stop other people from having the ability to pay you for using it as well
In addition, your phrasing, "bothered by the noise", is in poor taste given the subject of the article you've commented on. Good job both missing the point completely and being such an incompassionate human being.
Hopefully the owner of this establishment doesn't have to pay extra money to switch from selling Coke products to Pepsi.

Diabetes and Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD)
Diabetes and Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD)
Diabetes is a condition in which your body has trouble using a sugar called glucose, for energy. As a result, the sugar level in your blood becomes too high. Diabetes is a chronic (lifelong) condition. It puts you at high risk for peripheral arterial disease (PAD). This is a disease of arteries in the legs. If you have PAD, arteries in other parts of your body are likely diseased, too. That puts you at high risk for other serious health problems. Read on to learn how diabetes can lead to PAD and affect your health.
How diabetes can lead to PAD
Diabetes can hurt your arteries. If diabetes is not controlled well, blood sugar levels will be high. High blood sugar can make the artery walls rough. A waxy substance in the blood called plaque can then build up on the artery walls. This plaque contains cholesterol. This makes it harder for blood to flow through your arteries. This limits blood flow to your arms and legs, which causes damage in the tissues. The feet are most at risk of tissue damage. If tissue damage is very bad, then toes, feet, or even legs may need to be removed (amputated). But blood sugar and cholesterol levels can be controlled. This is done with nutrition and exercise. Weight loss and medication may also help. And proper foot care is very important for people with PAD.
If diabetes is not controlled
Uncontrolled diabetes can cause many complications, including:
Heart disease
Kidney damage or kidney failure (nephropathy)
Liver disease
Digestion problems
Nerve damage (neuropathy)
Eye damage (retinopathy)
Sexual dysfunction
Periodontal (gum) disease
Needing a toe, foot, or leg amputated (if you also have PAD)
If diabetes is controlled
Controlling diabetes can reduce your risk for serious health problems, including:
Heart disease and stroke
Kidney disease
Eye disease
With proper foot care, the need for amputation

To celebrate the heroes of La Jolla who keep its beaches safe, the community is giving back in a spirited way — by lighting up the lifeguard tower at Children's Pool beach. Throughout the week until Dec. 15, volunteer lifeguards will decorate the tower with twinkling lights, which can be donated by members of the community at Meanley & Son Ace Hardware, located at 7756 Girard Ave., or at the lifeguard tower itself, located on Coast Boulevard across from Casa de Manana.
The public is invited to the lighting ceremony on Dec. 15 at 6 p.m. at Shell Beach above the lifeguard tower. Organizers are seeking carolers and hot cocoa for the event. Anyone who wishes to donate hot drinks or singing talents can contact Ed Harris at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Lifeguards are also collecting toys for Toys for Tots, which can be donated at the lighting ceremony or at any lifeguard tower along San Diego's coastline.
Group seeks caretakers raising others' children
The nonprofit organization Grandparents As Parents (GAP) is seeking out grandparents or non-parental relatives who are taking care of a relative's child because of a death in the family, parental drug or alcohol use, mental illness, neglect or incarceration, among other reasons a child may be separated from their home. GAP recognizes the impact created on these caretakers' lives and the requirement for many of these relatives to enact a prompt, total change in lifestyle to care for at-risk youth. GAP provides cost-free community-based programs, services and urgent resources to grandparents or others raising children.
For any grandparents or relatives who want to learn more about GAP's services, visit www.grandparentsasparents.org or call (818) 264-0880.
GAP is also partnering with Y Kinship Support Groups and Toys For Tots for a pancake breakfast and bowling event on Dec. 15 in Vista to help support its programs and services. Anyone interested in attending should RSVP to Suzanne Tracey at email@example.com or by calling (858) 842-3229.
Jewish teen scholarship seeks recipients
The Helen Diller Family Foundation is seeking out 10 socially conscious Jewish teens from across the nation who dedicate time to make the world a better place through volunteer service projects in their communities. Nominations for the annual Diller Teen Tikkun Olam awards are now open, and this year the foundation will acknowledge more young visionaries than ever before with 10 recipients receiving the $36,000 award nationwide.
Since Bay Area philanthropist Helen Diller made a commitment to empower the next generation of Jewish leaders in 2007 through the award program, 30 teens have been awarded more than $1 million total to advance their vision of tikkun olam, or "repairing the world."
"It has been a joy to celebrate so many incredible Jewish teens over the past six years and to support their efforts to repair the world," said Diller, president of the foundation. "The opportunity to empower and nurture teens throughout the entire United States is a dream come true and a simple way to foster the spirit of tikkun olam among our future leaders."
Teens can be nominated by teachers, community leaders, rabbis and even themselves for the award, though family members cannot nominate a candidate. Teens must be 13 to 19 years old, self-identify as Jewish and must not be compensated for their services to be eligible for nomination. To complete the nomination form, visit www.jewishfed.org/teenawards/process or call (415) 512-6437.

For assistant federal defender David Bell, the urge to be a lawyer was precipitated by the urge to help people.
"I always thought I wanted to do something where I could help other people, certainly people less fortunate than me, and I decided on law," Bell said. "I knew that whatever I did with a law degree I would be able to help people and … I realized that whether I loved the law or whether I didn't love the law, I could make a living doing it as well."
As it turns out, Bell loved the law since his first days at the University of Memphis Cecil C. Humphreys School of Law. Before becoming a student there, though, he graduated from White Station High School and studied politics, legal studies and religion at Earlham College, a small, liberal arts school in Richmond, Ind.
A spiritual man who has served as deacon for Idlewild Presbyterian Church, Bell considered the seminary before deciding on law school where, as a student, he met Robert Jones, the Shelby County chief public defender at the time.
"He asked me to come over there and interview with them for a summer clerkship," Bell said. "I liked their office and I liked the idea of the mission of what they did there, so I went over there and I clerked that first summer after my first year in law school and I just kind of fell in love with the place and the people there."
That mission, Bell says, is to help the indigent who are seeking justice. Problems in society such as lack of education and substance abuse, he said, all tie back into the issue of poverty.
"When you have an agency that is charged with assisting people who are impoverished who need help seeking justice, it's a really neat mission to try and fulfill and to try and achieve justice for those people," Bell said.
He also wanted to be a trial lawyer and not simply sit at a desk in an office, and he knew that working with the Shelby County's Office of the Public Defender was a fast track to the courtroom and the experience it offered.
Upon graduating from law school in 2003, Bell accepted a job with that office where he worked in drug court and in General Sessions Court on misdemeanors and felonies. He was also sent to the outlying courts in Bartlett, Germantown, Collierville and Millington.
"I liked meeting the judges and prosecutors and other attorneys out there, and seeing different systems of justice and the way they work," Bell said.
He moved up quickly, however, into criminal court where he handled felony jury trials from theft of property cases to felony murder cases, including one that began on the A&E police documentary series "The First 48."
After five years with that office, Stephen Shankman, then-chief defender with the federal Public Defender's office, offered him a job. There was a learning curve and the work he did in state law was far different than that in federal law where "the penalties are much graver … you're looking at a lot more time usually, and you're looking at people in situations that are even that much more desperate."
Even so, he brought with him lessons learned with the county and, specifically, from mentor Jack Hough.
"He told me, 'Your primary responsibility is to your client, but you have to uphold your ethical standards and you have to do things by the book,' and I always took that to heart," Bell said.
The cases he handles now range from police officers charged with a crime to white-collar crimes involving tax fraud and counterfeiting, cases that require an enormous amount of paperwork to be read.
"I've learned a great deal about how to absorb that information and analyze it and really thrive on understanding the tax codes now and those statutes," Bell said.
One of the first clients he represented was Paul Schlesselman who, together with Daniel Cowart, was charged with threatening the life of then-presidential nominee Barack Obama.
Bell's work has him arguing cases in Jackson, Tenn., and in front of the U.S Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit in Cincinnati, and he is an adjunct professor for his alma mater teaching legal methods.
"I get to do a lot of work that I'm really interested and really involved in and is intellectually stimulating while also maintaining that mission of helping people at the same time," he said. "That balance is really a beautiful thing to find as a lawyer who's been on the job for about 10 years now."

Re: San Antonio, Texas
I play 3e and live in Temple Texas. Austin, TX is fairly close but if you have a game or plan on attending some type of event in Texas and want to combine our wonder twin powers into a true 3e game let me know. For example, there is a Con up near Ft Worth this July and I probably will be running 3e MnM along with other stuff and your more than welcome to come up and attend the con and I'll make sure you have a space reserved.
Re: San Antonio, Texas
I'm in San Antonio if there is anyone wanting to talk about starting a campaign. I would be willing to do a 3 month GM rotation.
