This fascinating book tells the many intriguing stories of the orchid and features 40 frameable art prints.
The Orchid; The History of this Extraordinary Flower in 40 Orchids comes encased in a beautiful collector's box.
Produced in association with Kew, this wonderful book is enhanced with botanical illustrations by the great orchid artists, 40 of which have been also been selected to include as prints and presented in a handsome collector's box.
Captivating, beautiful, incredibly diverse and often elusive, orchids can be found in nearly all environments, ranging from sea level to an elevation of almost 5,000 metres. Victorian plant hunters scoured the globe for new species to bring back for botanical gardens and private collectors; "orchidmania" among gardeners was born and persists to this day. Enhanced with notes and letters held in Kew's archives and illustrations by artists such as John Day and Sarah Drake, this is an exceptionally beautiful book on an extraordinary plant.
Lauren Gardiner is Curator of the Cambridge University Herbarium and a member of the RHS Orchid Committee. She previously worked at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, where she specialized in the conservation of Madagascan plants, including orchids and palms.
Phillip Cribb is a leading specialist on the taxonomy and conservation of orchids. He was Deputy Keeper of the Herbarium and Curator of the Orchid Herbarium at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, until his retirement in 2006.

HARTFORD – The American Civil Liberties Union of Connecticut’s campaign for Smart Justice released new public opinion polling today that shows strong support for criminal justice reform across the ideological and political spectrum.
The research, conducted by Benenson Strategy Group between September 5 and September 10, included 507 telephone interviews with registered Connecticut voters across the state who indicated they were likely to vote in the 2018 gubernatorial election. Thirty-five percent of participants identified as conservative, 34 percent as liberal, and 29 percent as moderate. Respondents were asked about their views on the size of Connecticut’s prison system, the purpose of the criminal justice system, treatment of people returning to society after incarceration, how to respond to drug addiction within the context of the criminal justice system, the existing Earned Risk Reduction Credit program, and what types of policy positions voters seek from their elected officials.
58 percent of Connecticut voters say it is important to reduce the number of people in prison in the state.
Connecticut voters reject a “tough on crime” approach. Nearly three quarters of Connecticut voters (72 percent) agree that prison is not the only answer to crime.
82 percent of Connecticut voters, including 92 percent of Democrats, 80 percent of Independents, and 71 percent of Republicans, say that people who have been convicted of a crime can turn their lives around with help.
86 percent of Connecticut voters support the existing Earned Risk Reduction Credit program, including 53 percent who strongly support it.
87 percent of Connecticut voters support changing the criminal justice system in Connecticut by increasing funding for programs that help people returning home after incarceration to find jobs, housing, and medical care, including 90 percent of Democrats, 90 percent of Independents, and 78 percent of Republicans.
74 percent of Connecticut voters, including 88 percent of Democrats, 73 percent of Independents, and 56 percent of Republicans, support Connecticut passing a law to prevent formerly incarcerated people from being discriminated against due to their criminal record in things like housing, employment, education, and insurance.
The majority of Connecticut voters recognize racial bias in the criminal justice system – only 38 percent agree that everyone, regardless of race or ethnic background, is treated fairly by the criminal justice system in Connecticut.
Why does Connecticut need a better, smarter justice system?

“We are certainly relieved that NYCHA, the city’s largest landlord and home to 400,000 of our most vulnerable neighbors, will not fall under complete control of the Trump Administration’s HUD. As this Administration has repeatedly proposed slashing funding for the public housing operating and capital funds, we share our constituents’ concerns that the current Administration’s hostility to public housing makes it a bad fit to assume day-to-day oversight of NYCHA.
“All that being said, there must be additional accountability and transparency at NYCHA, so that the agency once again becomes responsive to tenants’ needs. We are hopeful that a federal monitor can help achieve that goal. We will certainly be watching that process closely and providing vigorous Congressional oversight.
“Of course, improving public housing in New York will require significant investment at all levels of government. We recognize the Mayor and the City have already dedicated substantial funding and are committing more under the terms of this deal. Following decades of shortchanging the agency, still more must be done. In Washington, we will be fighting for additional federal dollars in the years to come. Similarly, the Governor and the state government will need to step forward. This must be a priority at every level of government.
In December, Velázquez led Democratic Members of the New York City Congressional delegation in writing to HUD Secretary Carson, arguing against federal receivership for NYCHA.

Unity Bank has provided a $3.5 million loan to St. Thomas Syro-Malabar Catholic Church of Franklin Township, Somerset County, to fund the construction of a new 26,500-square-foot church to be located at 510 Elizabeth Ave. near the intersection of Weston Road.
Unity has also agreed to make a $5,000 donation to the parish’s Brick-by-Brick fundraising campaign for the more than $6 million project.
The 10-acre site is presently under construction and will include an 11,000-square-foot church, 10,000-square-foot fellowship hall, mezzanine floor, meeting rooms and kitchen. There will be more than 200 parking spots. The property is a short distance from Colonial Park and Spooky Brook Golf Course.
The Syro-Malabar Church is an Apostolic Church in India. The local parish started 13 years ago with a monthly mass at Our Lady of Lourdes Church in Milltown before renting a church in East Millstone in 2004 and starting weekly mass. Two years later St. Thomas acquired its current church and rectory buildings at 44 Livingston Ave.
The church has raised approximately 50 percent of its project fundraising goal of $2 million. For more information on the church’s fundraising effort, call 908-837-9484.

I absolutely loved my wedding pictures from Mullica! Jonathan did an amazing job. He was professional, friendly, and made everyone at my wedding feel special and comfortable. He was truly out to make sure that our special day went without a flaw. All my family and friends couldn’t stop commenting on how great he was and how beautiful the pictures are.
From the beginning, Jonathan took the time to really get to now my husband and me and to really target each of our photography styles. He then specially took it upon himself to get us shots that fit exactly our individual styles. Our final wedding album is the perfect combination of my husbands’ and my styles together.
Jonathan was such a calming presence. He made me really enjoy my day as a bride and my husband’s day as the groom. There was no pressure or rush. He kept the environment light, fun, and special. Jonathan went out of his way to even care for all of our elderly family members.
Jonathan was professional and helpful from the very beginning when we booked Mullica Studio for our wedding day until the very end in helping us design a beautiful photo album. He took time to meet with my husband and me to ask our vision for the day and ask if we had any specific places we wanted to take photos.
He is so personable and creative we knew we selected the best photographer for our wedding.

"Hi, yah...I'm looking for a scent you sell that's French or something? And maybe has a name of a foreign city?" I relay to the gal at Anthropologie via telephone, who likely shared my sentiment that a geography lesson was needed in my future.
"Florence by Tocca? Yes, that's it!" I said with glee, then go on to ask the inappropriate question of whether it's sold anywhere else other than her store. Luckily the lights of Sephora shined over my head like the light bulb that went off that begged me to take an extra minute to see if it was sold there.
Alas, it was. A scent so delicious, unique, modern and romantic it just had to be mine...even after more than a decade of compliments due to Burberry Brit. You'll see why when you sniff what's in it: "Florence is scented with the sophisticated essence of the old European garden rose known as Centifolias or "cabbage" rose. Bred in the 16th and 17th centuries by the Dutch, Centifolias are noted for their highly fragrant blossoms. In the Florence collection, Tocca combines this delicate flower with iris root to anchor the scent. Notes: Italian Bergamot, Grapefruit Leaves, Green Pear, Apple Cocktail, Ivory Gardenia, Crushed Violet Petals, Jasmine, Tuberose, Blue Iris, Blonde Wood, White Musk.
Just what the doctor ordered after what's been an incredibly challenging month. I'll take it!
And if fate tries to stop me in my tracks and throw me another one of these months like February? Well then I'll just have to stop and smell the centifolias.

Since our creation 20 years ago, by WIll Brush, Essex Arboriculture, still a family run business, has ensured it has consistently delivered a very positive customer experience helping people with their private and commercial arboricultural needs.
We are a highly focused and friendly team providing Essex with the highest quality total tree solutions - shaping the look and feel of gardens, commercial landscapes and woodlands.
Working as experienced tree surgeons in Essex we offer a no-obligation free quotation service and undertake a wide variety of work from small tasks only taking half an hour to complete, to large projects and management programmes which may span several months.
Essex Arboriculture is one of only a few Arboricultural Association Approved Contractors in Essex which means we achieve the highest standards of best practice in finished work, customer care and Health and Safety.
All our staff our fully qualified and we hold insurance/public liability of £10 million in value.
From the time of enquiry through to the completion of the work Essex Arboriculture were courteous and efficient. The two gentlemen who carried out the felling of the out of control conifer and pyracantha at the end of my garden on 20th March were polite, efficient, very professional, careful and tidied up thoroughly after the work.
Excellent service in every respect.
Very happy with this firm in every respect. Efficient administration, prompt response to all enquiries, polite and courteous workers, arrived on time, clearly competent. Extremely happy with the result and impressed with how they tidy they left the garden. Would recommend them without hesitation.
I booked Essex Arb to remove a large tree in my garden and 3 stumps which previous owner had left in the ground. The quote was competitive and in all dealings their staff appeared very knowledgeable and conscientious. From quote to completion I was very satisfied and they left the garden as tidy as it could possibly be after the work carried out. I will continue to use them and wholeheartedly recommend this company.
I have used Essex Arb for both the removal of trees and the supply and planting of trees and have been very impressed by them. They turn up when they say they will, are very polite and their prices are extremely competitive. Would recommend to anyone.
I have used Essex Arb on three occasions; to reduce an oak tree in my garden and to remove trees and stumps. It is instructive to note that when the Local Authority trees officer came to sanction the work and advise on the extent of the reduction he reacted with high praise when he learned that Essex Arb were to carry out the work. He indicated that he had complete confidence that the work would be carried out competently and in full compliance with the regulations relating to such trees. I can unequivocally commend Essex Arb to anyone contemplating tree work.
We recently used Essex Arb to carry out tree felling and a general sort out of the trees in our garden. We had two teams of three working for three days, the efficiency and professionalism of both teams was exemplary. I would definitely recommend them and will certainly use them again in the future.
Great professional and friendly service!
We have used Essex Arboriculture Ltd several times from maintaining laylandi, reducing a cherry tree and clearing a large area of scrub land. Each time they came and gave a free no obligation quote and when we decided to go ahead they were able to schedule the work in quickly. I find that because as part of their free quote they do all the appropriate checks with the council regarding if any of the trees have tree preservation on them (as I think if you do anything to one of these it's the home owners responsibility) and nesting birds etc., you don't have to worry. They are also fully insured and adhere to strict Heath and Safety rules (so I don't have to worry about my husband going on about needing a chainsaw and possibly loosing limbs!!). The cherry tree that we had reduced was very large and we had delayed having it done as we really liked the shape of it but we needn't have worried the guys are so skill it was as if it had shrunk! They had managed to keep the shape but reduced it by about 3 metres (it really was a large tree!). The guys cleaned up completely any debris and to be honest it was cleaner than when they started and not just the garden the driveway too where they had taken all the bits cut off to their van to take away. So I am very happy to recommend them to anyone that needs work doing.
The workforce at Essex Arb were very knowledgeable and helpful. Before they left they made sure that we were satisfied and asked if there was anything else that they could do. We were very pleased with the result.

Among the sights we all love about Vacaville are the historic buildings downtown, such as the Carnegie Library (which today houses the Chamber of Commerce) and the Victorian mansions along Buck Avenue.
Many of these landmarks are the work of building contractor George Hutton Sharpe.
Sharpe was born in England around 1861. The family came to the United States when he was 9 years old. They settled in Kansas, where young George and his brothers and sisters grew up. Here he met and married Angie Parker. Their two eldest children were born in Kansas.
While many of Sharpe’s siblings remained in farming, he became a builder and contractor, apparently without much formal training.
In 1888, the Sharpe family arrived in Solano County. His wife had an uncle in Elmira who operated a livery stable. For a couple of years, the family lived in Elmira, before settling down in Vacaville, where they raised their three surviving children, Millard, Maude and Esther. This move seems to coincide with the first buildings on the newly established Buck Avenue.
Sharpe immediately set to work as a contractor. Among his first jobs were the Buck Mansion and the William Buck house, both built in 1890. Other buildings on Buck Avenue and Mason Street followed.
Over the years, Sharpe would build most of the civic buildings in Vacaville. He constructed both the grammar school and, in 1898, the high school, a much- beloved building that was torn down in 1950. In 1891, he was awarded a bid of $ 4,975 to construct the Christian Church, which he built in 90 days. Other public buildings included the Masonic Hall and the Carnegie Library on Main Street.
The women of the Saturday Club had been instrumental in raising the funds for a Carnegie Library. When town officials called for bids, Sharpe resigned his town trusteeship in order to bid on the project. Though his bid of $11,815 was $388 higher than that of his closest rival, the trustees awarded him the contract. Sharpe finished the reinforced concrete building with its typical Carnegie library facade in 1915.
He also was a creative builder, ever willing to fulfill his client’s wishes and design ideas. Often he would include a surprise free upgrade. Such was the case when he built Harbison House for his friend Luther Harbison. Luther and his wife wanted Sharpe to install a large window on the staircase landing to be able to admire the view across their orchards. Instead, to their dismay, Sharpe surprised them with a lovely stained glass window.
Sharpe did not just create a legacy in Vacaville through his buildings. He also served as a town trustee and council member and was Vacaville’s mayor form 1916 to 1918.
In a graveside tribute, the Reverend Arthur F. Fruhling said: “The extreme modesty of George Sharpe and respect for his last wishes forbid any lengthy eulogy on this occasion, but on the other hand, the life that he lived, the work that he performed and the services that he rendered forbid absolute silence; and so, on behalf of the community in which he lived for so many years and on behalf of the lodges in which he was a faithful member for so long I feel compelled to try and express what ought to be said.
“Brother Sharpe was an operative Mason as well as a speculative one. He so handled the tools of his craft as to become the master builder of Vacaville. Public buildings and private homes of long standing and recent construction are monuments to his faithful work well done.

I'm not impressed by much in the virtualization space... they're all done with their two valid use cases and are trying to expand into unnatural places. The valid use cases are the obvious data center centralization and what I'll call general geekery. Data center centralization is a backlash against the common sysadmin practice of one app per server; a valid operational move that wastes server resources, which are neatly recovered by going to virtual servers. General geekery is a broader topic... developers, sys-admins, services people, sales engineers, QA people, security testers... there are a lot of people who need virtual machine technology on their desktop, and their needs are nicely taken care of with the available tools.
So, where to expand? How to sell more? The juiciest remaining space is the enterprise desktop, so let's target that. There's a lot of variations on thin-clients accessing a locked down data center... well, the people whose needs are met by that use case already have tools in Citrix and Terminal Server, so you've basically got a slight broadening of that market and a 'brown field' incumbent replacement strategy. Then there's the local virtualization ideas, PCHV type stuff... in which the argument is that OSes have failed to adequately separate applications, so we should make things a lot more complicated so that our applications will really be separated. I don't see how this is supposed to make things easier, cheaper, or shinier, and those are the three reasons customers buy things.

The DDC317 high sensitivity presence or absence detector provides automatic control of lighting loads in buildings and interior spaces with high ceilings. The DDC317 is typically installed in warehouses, sports halls and atria and is used in other applications where the required mounting height exceeds that of standard detectors.
The detector uses a highly sensitive passive infrared sensor within a precision dome lens, which enables the DDC317 to reliably detect movement over large areas. Vertical mounting heights of up to 15m can be accommodated.
The DDC317 can be flush fitted in to ceilings that have sufficient void space or can be mounted directly to a solid ceiling or slab using the ASENS-CPIR-BOX.
As with other system sensors within the range, the DDC317 can be configured using system software and all the functions programmed remotely.
Two clip on shielding mask area supplied with the DDC317. Each can cover half of the sensor lens. Lateral or radial strips can be cut out of the masks to further customise the detection area.

Could there ever be a realistic Hollywood? Perhaps a more pointed question is could anyone make a film that haphazardly finds that reality or even the dream of that reality? Robert Altman’s The Player makes a bid of sorts by presenting the nightmare of the reality with a certain bite but nary a drop of venom, presumably unlike the rattlesnake that shows up on the floor of one character’s car. Altman’s Hollywood is generally courteous but also dismissive, demanding and very aware of the amount of money it is responsible for. And at the epicenter of this swirling storm is Griffin Mill, a studio executive, only a stone’s throw away from the big job, who begins receiving threatening postcards from the author of one of thousands of banished screenplays that have passed over his desk.
Mill is a character, played by Tim Robbins, but he is one of only a handful of recognizable faces in Altman’s Hollywood that is recognizably a creation. Stars and personalities float in and out of Altman’s camera, occasionally stopping to talk shop or deliver a message, but they inhabit a gray area between the “reality” of Hollywood and a mélange of inside jokes, rumors, and exaggerations. At one point, Cher arrives at a black-and-white dress party wearing a screaming red dress; Malcolm McDowell warns Mill to not talk behind his back, next time. They are figures, characters and themselves all at once, a notion best exemplified by rushes from a film noir starring Lily Tomlin and Scott Glenn that Mill screens.
Mill doesn’t quite live up to the horror-show exec that we have been told lurks through the studios, crushing dreams with the twist of his Cartier cufflinks, but he certainly personifies that myth to David Kahane (Vincent D’Onofrio), a bitter screenwriter who Mill believes is the sender of the demise-promising postcards. Late one night, Mill decides to confront Kahane following a screening of De Sica’s The Bicycle Thieves at Pasadena’s Rialto Theater, the results of which climax with Mill drowning Kahane in a puddle of mucky water. An investigation is launched by a detective (Whoopi Goldberg), but Mill is equally busy holding off the advancing career of a rival (Peter Gallagher), tending to a budding romance with Kahane’s ex-girlfriend (Greta Scacchi), and shepherding a new project with a pestering producer (Dean Stockwell) and a hack director (Richard E. Grant).
The Player exists both as a condemnation and a celebration of the dreamlife of Hollywood in that most of its characters are unlikable or, at the very least, empathize with duplicitous, immoral behavior, while the film itself happily indulges in the same tropes that are understood by Mill and his compatriots as key to a fiscally successful Hollywood film. The realities of Mill’s crime are largely ignored to make way for his odd romance and a hefty portioning of celebrity sightings and industry jargon are essential to Altman’s sardonic detachment. But even if, as Altman has stated, parts of the film are influenced by the director’s own dealings in Tinsel Town, nothing in The Player registers as personal or, for that matter, scathing. An opposing view would certainly argue that this was intentional, that the patented leisurely tone and wavering sense of focus serve to reinforce the director’s “very modest satire” rather than elevate him out of its orbit of corruption. That’s certainly a possibility, but even exempting these facets, The Player‘s basic intrigue is derived more from Altman’s stylistic choices than from any crumb of insight into the world the director had made his living in since the 1950s, counting his television work.
Adapted by Michael Tolkin from his own novel of the same name, The Player nevertheless remains a curious contraption, a somewhat goofy, well-acted, and completely entertaining experiment that, for no apparent reason, has been placed by numerous critics next to Altman’s genuine triumphs (Nashville, The Long Goodbye, McCabe & Mrs. Miller, Short Cuts). It’s a hoot to watch Alan Rudolph pitch “Ghost meets The Manchurian Candidate,” and there are few jokes better than the slogan that hangs above the nameless studio where Mill works: “Movies: Now, More Than Ever.” But no one member of the industry is shown as even slightly as calculating and uncaring as Mill, suggesting that though everyone buys into the business, the execs are especially flushed with a cruel euphoria when the sureness of capitalism overrides the risk of art. And it’s perhaps this inability to admit the ubiquity of the corruption and money-minded decisions in Hollywood that makes a movie about big-studio politics hard to pull off. Often enough, as is true of The Player, these films evoke fascination in fits and spurts but are ultimately just another funny, edgy, and suspenseful dramatic thriller…with heart.
The 1080p transfer that Warner Bros. has afforded The Player is inarguably grainy, but this has more to do with the film stock than the transfer. In fact, the image has been given added definition and color in comparison to the splotchy, muddied DVD transfer. Black levels are solid, as are flesh tones, and there’s a great deal of depth to the image. The Blu-ray also features a strong lossless DTS-HD Master 5.1 treatment that picks up all the overflowing, scattered conversations in Altman’s Hollywood and holds up well in more atmospheric scenes, such as a trip to a hot springs in the California desert. As would befit Altman, it’s not a show-off affair, but it does right by the film.
The commentary, with Altman and screenwriter Michael Tolkin, is a bit laborious but not without its moments of fascination. Far more interesting is the 16-minute featurette “One on One with Robert Altman,” where the master discusses a handful of scenes he left out as well as some tidbits about improvising on the set and incorporating situations from his life in pictures into the film. This is also that rare case where many of the deleted scenes do add a certain layer to the film; some of them would have been well worth keeping. The theatrical trailer is also included.
Robert Altman’s over-praised yet highly enjoyable skewering of the business of making movies arrives on Blu-ray in a befittingly humble and loving audio and visual transfer.

TeXtreme® is proud to announce their latest addition to their line of Spread Tow products, the ±45° Grid fabric. This new version of TeXtreme® Spread Tow fabric will further broaden the ability to optimize Spread Tow solutions for new applications and markets.
TeXtreme® Spread Tow Grid can be highly tailored to meet specific needs such as increasing torsional stiffness with minimum weight increase or enabling radio transmittency through the fabric’s opening. This new grid material can be used in monolithic structures as well as for sandwich skins in either a prepregged form or dry form for infusion. Because of its extremely low 21gsm areal weight, this version of the dry grid material can be wet out by capturing excess resin from its neighboring prepreg plies.
Even though the Grid fabric has designed gaps which resemble a lattice, its characteristics are similar to other TeXtreme® Spread Tow reinforcements. By using the Grid fabric by itself or in combination with the other products in the TeXtreme® family, optimized reinforcement solutions can be created which enable customers to reduce the weight of their products without sacrificing mechanical properties. The new grid fabric offers excellent stability while handling and can be either manually or automatically cut or handled while being prepregged in standard hot melt processes.

Energy Storage is becoming increasingly important with the advent of individual electronic devices and the rising need to accommodate a greater population which relies on these devices. A flywheel is simple form of mechanical (kinetic) energy storage. Energy is stored by causing a disk to spin on its axis. Flywheels are one of the most promising technologies for replacing conventional lead acid batteries as energy storage systems for a variety of applications including automobiles, economical rural electrification systems, and stand-alone, remote power units commonly used in the telecommunications industry.
Commercially available Flywheel Energy Storage (FES) Systems are used for small uninterpretable power systems. More recently, the flywheel has regained consideration as a viable means of supporting a critical load during mains power interruption, due to the lower capital expense and extended run time now available from many systems, as well as continued customer dissatisfaction with traditional electrochemical energy storage.

It may be better for patients to resume taking their blood pressure medication sooner after surgery than previously thought. A new study published in June 2015 in the Online First edition of Anesthesiology, the official medical journal of the American Society of Anesthesiologists® (ASA), found resuming angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), common medications used to treat high blood pressure, within two days after surgery decreased death rates in the first month following surgery.
The release explains that in the study, researchers examined more than 30,000 patients who were regularly taking ARB medication prior to surgery and were admitted to the Veterans Affairs Healthcare system for non-cardiac surgery between 1999 and 2011.

In a recent video, Floyd Mayweather was seen chopping wood in preparation for his upcoming bout with Manny Pacquiao. Ever since Floyd shared that short clip to Instagram, my inbox has been flooded with questions about wood chopping and its relevance to boxing. Before I elaborate on the subject, you can first hear Floyd discuss this old school training exercise in the video below.
Floyd begins by explaining how he started chopping wood as an amateur boxer. Hearing that he chopped wood as a young fighter was no surprise to me. Many of the greatest fighters in the sport’s history have chopped wood or swung a sledgehammer. Both exercises will develop power and endurance.
In many ways, this single line solidifies much of what I’ve preached throughout this site. I’ve discussed countless fighters from previous generations who also thrived on the basics on their way to becoming all-time greats. Whether you are a fan of Mayweather or not, it is impossible to deny his talent and ability. Floyd has always been a gifted and highly conditioned fighter. He has excelled with a relatively simple approach to training.
Anyone who has ever been in camp with Mayweather will testify to his tremendous work ethic. I’ve personally heard from multiple sparring partners who were amazed at how hard he works when the cameras aren’t rolling. There’s much more to his training than a flashy mitt routine. He hits the bag hard, spars hard, skips rope at a furious pace, lifts weights, performs calisthenics, etc. There’s nothing fancy, just a consistent dose of hard work that’s applied to the basics.
As for Floyd’s return to wood chopping, he’s not the first fighter to hack his way to greater strength and endurance. One of my favorite quotes about wood chopping comes from legendary puncher Earnie Shavers.
Shavers wasn’t the only heavyweight to chop wood however. An abbreviated list of additional fighters can be seen below.
Former heavyweight champion George Foreman spent plenty of time chopping wood. He certainly knew a few things about punching power.
Max Baer was also known to chop wood at training camp. He can be seen above preparing for his fight with Joe Louis. Unfortunately for Baer, Joe Louis was also a big fan of chopping wood. He went on to defeat Baer by knockout.
Jack Johnson was yet another legendary heavyweight from the past who spent plenty of time chopping wood. In the picture above, you’ll notice a huge pile of wood that he split while in camp. All of that wood chopping certainly helped his conditioning throughout a lengthy championship reign.
Muhammad Ali also chopped wood and even cut down trees. He’s yet another all-time great who thrived on the basics. He didn’t need any fancy equipment to become one of the greatest heavyweight boxers ever.
As for chopping wood vs. swinging a sledge, I’ve spent plenty of time doing both. There are pros and cons to each. Swinging a sledgehammer is certainly more convenient though as it won’t make a mess and one tire will last a lifetime. Ultimately, whether you choose to chop wood or swing a sledgehammer, you can expect similar results however. Both activities are tremendous conditioning exercises that will also develop power.
The physical compendium of physical activity list woodchopping as the 2nd highest calorie burner, right behind running 5 min miles, 17 mets vs 18 mets. Very surprising.
In doing some excavating, I found the difference between digging with a shovel (no picnic itself) and swinging a pick axe quite striking (no pun intended), the pick axe work was quickly exhausting.
The compendium of physical activity lists woodchopping as second in calorie burn only to running 5 min miles…. 17 mets vs 18 mets — very surprising. Woodchopping is far more exhausting than, say, ditch digging, which is no picnic either.

School fundraisers are often necessary to supplement funding for clubs, organizations, field trips and school activities. Generally, these fundraisers involve selling items like unhealthy candy bars, cookie dough, or sugar-laden baked goods. With initiatives like these, it’s no wonder childhood obesity is on the rise.
Luckily, you and your school have options. Ditch the candy bars and sell something that promotes the overall message of a healthy school and lifestyle. You can raise funds by selling non-food or nutritional-food items, or by holding a wellness-promoting event. Healthy fundraisers set a good example and help the school consistently promote a healthy message.
Health-food junkies. Forget the candy bars and opt for healthy food options. Your school can sell anything from fruit to granola bars to coffee. The Equal Exchange Fair Trade Fundraising Program partners with farmer co-ops to offer products such as organic tea, coffee, chocolate and almonds.
Fashionable funding. Some companies offer all-natural clothing and accessories your school can sell. Eco Sprouts, launched by a mother of three in Alabama, offers fundraising options for schools with its partnered clothing line, earth creations. Or choose from jewelry, handbags, silk scarves and more from the Global Goods Partners.
Light the way. Candles make a wonderful gift and can be sold year-round. Try looking for soy candles (like the ones offered at www.itsasoy.com).
Be beautiful. Selling all-natural beauty products is a great way for your school to promote health while raising funds.
Plant the seed. Sell flower or tree seeds in the spring to help area residents start their gardens. Better yet, plant the seeds in recycled yogurt cups and sell the baby plants.
Get together. Holding an event to raise money can be a great way to bring parents, students, teachers and administrators together. Try organizing a walk-a-thon or bike-a-thon in which participants gather sponsors who will donate money for every lap around your school’s track or gym. Or hold a karaoke or game night and charge admission.
Pool your resources. Collect favorite healthy family recipes from parents and publish a cookbook, to be sold through the school and community. There are several companies who enable groups to gather their recipes, upload them and create their books (http://www.fundcraft.com/fc/home.asp). Or gather unwanted goods from parents, teachers and administrators to hold a silent auction, sell them on ebay or hold a yard sale.
One-stop fundraising. Greenraising offers both online-only and traditional fundraising opportunities, and their products include fair-trade teas and coffees, recycled gift wrap, soy candles and reusable lunchtime supplies.
Turn your trash into treasure. Encourage your school’s students, parents and teachers to collect old wrappers and send them in to the Terracycle Brigade program. Terracycle will pay you for plastic bottles, yogurt containers, cookie wrappers, juice pouches and Clif Bar wrappers, then turn them into a product that will be sold in stores.

The fact that Lipno Lake Resort is among the leading accommodation facilities for families with children in the Czech Republic and many guests return to us regularly, constantly motivates us and commits us to making new investments to improve a stay in our resort and make it even more pleasant. Therefore we are happy to introduce to you the following new additions.
Our comfortable family apartments at Lipno with own sauna, fire place and a spacious,sunny terrace from this year are as good as new! We renewed the furniture in all apartments. The furniture was carefully chosen with the requirements of our guests in mind. Whilst choosing we put the main emphasis on natural materials of high quality, practical use, modern design and also the comfort that belongs to the apartments of Lipno Lake Resort from the very beginning.
Children, however young, come first in Lipno Lake Resort. We wish for you to enjoy a relaxed stay with your children, without stress. Children are most happy when playing so especially for them we have built a new children’s playground with a big pirate ship, cable way, sandpit with water game, swings, slides, balancing and other fun attractions, which guarantee that in the evening the little ones will sleep like babies.
When the weather is worse there is the posibility of taking your children to our new, cosy indoor play area, which is equipped with games and entertainment for children till 12 years old.
Apart from the new children’s playground and indoor play area, Lipno Lake Resort guests can make free use of the multifunctional sports court with synthetic surface, heated outside swimming pools, a kiosk with refreshments or participate in the summer animation programme with our mascotte lake elf Witek with a diversity of activities for big and small. In the winter the resort turns the sports court into an ice skating rink for our guests.

Yep, that fireball does look pretty impressive.
The Mighty Quest For Epic Loot has been dangling its shiny treasures in front of our eyes for a while now, but for the first time we get a good look at the main character classes in the game. Did somebody say Knights? How about a trusty Archer? Plus, of course, Wizards, everyone's favorite rabbit-in-hat merchants. The gang's all here, each of them eager to bust into his neighbor's treasure vaults and make merry with the contents. Possibly too merry, in Painhammer's case. Put some pants on, man! You'll frighten the horses!
This will be a free to play, when it finally launches, and no, there doesn't seem to be a date on that yet. It's still in closed testing. But if the developers are confident enough in the tests to keep putting these videos out, maybe a trip to the land of floating treasure palaces isn't that far off.

WASHINGTON, Two Indian Americans are among 20 healthcare leaders named for participation in the inaugural class of a US fellowship programme aimed at transforming the healthcare system.Rishi Manchanda, chief medical officer, The Wonderful Company, Los Angeles, and Nisha Money, senior medical advisor at US Department of Homeland Security were selected for the Aspen Institute Health Innovators Fellowship.
This new two-year fellowship will strengthen the leadership of innovators across the US health care ecosystem and challenge them to create new approaches that will improve the health and well-being of all Americans, The Aspen Institute, an educational and policy studies organisation based in Washington, DC, said in a statement.
“We are thrilled to recognise an extraordinary group of individuals — 10 men and 10 women — who reflect the best of passion and commitment in the US health care system,” said Rima Cohen, managing director of the Health Innovators Fellowship.
“The Fellowship will harness the creativity, deep expertise, and diverse experiences of these leaders to help solve our health system’s complex challenges,” she said.
The Fellowship has been launched in partnership with the Greenville Health System, a South Carolina-based not-for-profit healthcare system.
Among other efforts, Money creates and leads integrative mental fitness training programmes used in deployment, training, work, and personal site settings to address prevention, resiliency, and treatment of psycho-neurological disorders.
Besides being the chief medical officer of The Wonderful Company, a privately held $4 billion company committed to offering consumers high-quality, healthy brands, Manchanda is also president of HealthBegins, an organisation that provides healthcare providers with tools to improve care and the social determinants of health.
“Remarkable leadership talent from across the US is represented in this first cohort of Fellows,” said Michael Riordan, president and CEO of Greenville Health System.”As an academic health centre committed to innovative care, we are excited to partner with the Aspen Institute and witness the power of the Fellows’ collective talents in leading the charge to transform health care,” Riordan said.


text: The Eleventh Inter Livery Shrove Tuesday Pancake Races took place in the Guildhall Yard, organised by the Poulters' Company. I was unable to run in the Masters' Qualifying Races due to a foot injury requiring surgery. Liveryman Terry Fenner-Leitao ran on my behalf and won his heat. He was also the overall fastest runner, so ran again for the Victor Ludorum Cup. It was a very tight race and Terry was narrowly beaten by a Liveryman from the Butchers' Company. Congratulation to Terry who, by winning the qualifying races, has given the Tobacco Pipe Makers and Tobacco Blenders the right to enter a full team in 2016.

I do not know in other countries but here in Brazil we have internet franchises, for example, in my smartphone I have a monthly limit of 4GB to surf the internet. I wish I could know by the end of the month, of those 4GB I used, how much more would have been spent if I did not use ad-block.

openecu.org • View topic - Stand alone trip computer / data logger project.
I've been working on an SSM protocol based trip computer/data logger based on an Atmel AVR microcontroller. (90S8535 at the moment and a mess of wires on breadboard, but it is talking. Moving to ATMEGA32 or ATMEGA128 shortly.) I have hooked up an LCD display and can read and display data from the ECU when the ignition is on and the engine isn't running but after I start the engine the connection seems to break and I can't seem to re-init. I'm trying this on my MY02 liberty RX. Any ideas as to why the ECU wont respond with the engine running. I suspect that it may be blocking the comms becuase the diagnostic jumper isn't connected?
In the long term I would like to be able to calculate fuel consumption, display stats and perhaps log data to an SD card. Any opinions, suggestions or random guesses would be appreciated at this point.
For what car are you building this?
That was posted almost 2 years ago. He did say he was testing with an 02 Liberty RX though.
Is the AVR wired up to the OBD2 port, or are you using a 3rd-party OBD2 cable? I'm guessing it's electrical noise or something like that. I mean, the ECU still speaks SSM after the engine starts, so what else could it be?
You might try porting your code to the PC - abstract the raw I/O stuff away from the SSM stuff, and implement the I/O layer using asm on the AVR and C libraries on the PC - and then test your SSM code using a Tactrix cable or something similar. That should help determine whether the problem is in the software or the hardware.
Re: Stand alone trip computer / data logger project.
I did something like this for my WM5 Smartphone.

If the basket in question contains the above items, you can expect someone will start gearing up for THE ULTIMATE QUESTION. But include a kiwi or an orange or some dates or something obscure with spiky spikes in there and the question will never be asked (so be aware of this fact if you enjoy the practice of forcing others to ask THE QUESTION out of some mean-spirited goal).
Almost always, of course, before the “is that real fruit?” question is thrown out to you, the potential-askers-in-question will often feel the fruit. Most people will go for the grapes first because as everyone knows there are two very big differences between real grapes and faux grapes… Real grapes juice when you squeeze them. Fake grapes let out smelly faux-fruit shots of air.
But a lot of people don’t want to be “that girl or guy” who goes up and squeezes fake grapes just based on the fact that it immediately reveals them as being someone who isn’t sure whether or not the fruit is fake. This, of course, can make one look bad in the eyes of others. And sometimes, there ARE NO grapes. What then?
Sometimes, people will pick up the apples or the pears and sniff them. They’ll do that up/down shaking thing with their hand to test the weight of said potentially-faux fruit. Everyone’s got a test they perform so they don’t have to ask the question. They’ll pretend they’re sniffing the fruit and while it’s pressed up against their mouth at an angle where you can’t see their mouth, they’ll push their two front teeth into the fruit just to see if juice comes out.
Sometimes all they get is a waxy build-up and THE QUESTION will never have to be asked. But other times, the illusion of fruity-moisture fills their nostrils and the confusion just builds.
“Is this real or fake fruit?” they’ll finally ask you.
The thing is — for what reason does anyone need to have fake fruit on their table? On their countertop? In their living room? I mean, really — what is the internal monologue we have with ourselves that helps us make the decision to include a fake bowl of fruit in our lives?
The only people who have fake fruit in their house are painters (and I’m not a fan of painters who use fake fruit as the subjects in their work), people who are too cheap to buy real fruit and those who like to make you look stupid by forcing you to have to ask THE QUESTION because they have no grapes in their faux-fruit basket in an attempt to force you to do the one thing you vowed from the day of your high school graduation that you would never do.
Knock it on the floor.
Usually, if it’s real, some juice will spray out. And if it’s not, no worries because faux-fruit doesn’t bruise.
I actually like the idea of fake fruit. It implies that you live a healthy lifestyle, but you never have to actually eat the crap… just dust it once in a while.
Dave – Well, look. I’m fine if you have the fake fruit to portray your active lifestyle…but just don’t dust it EVER, so people don’t have to wonder what the deal is. Cool? Cool.
I feel like there’s a joke in here about serving fake fruit to your fake friends…but I’m not clever enough to make it funny. Sorry.
Of all the “real fruits” – you are my favorite.
2. you know who has fake fruit? i totally heard TOM CRUISE does.
3. and, i love the idea of someone actually resorting to biting the fake fruit as a means to assess its eat-ability (?).
4. oh, AND, “that’s the ticket” and fake fruit people are SO perfect befellows. i’m so glad you added that to your characterization.
12. i just ate chocolate. you never see fake chocolate these days.
This totally reminds me of one of the recent Arrested Development eps. The end.
My mom used to have a bowl of fake lemons on her living room table and my oldest nephew did the taste test on one of the “lemons” when he was a toddler. Those little teeth marks sure added character to that faux fruit display.
I do very well with fake plants. I have a plastic thumb.
Fun Joel – Tell me you don’t.
Hilary, watching Charlize Theron eat fake fruit was definitely a turn-off, and she is completely yummy.
Paul, what the hell is that spiky yellow fruit/fake fruit thing in the middle of the basket?
I have a bowl of real fruit on my kitchen counter – bananas. There is also a nice tomato in there. But its purely functional since those things can’t go in the fridge.
Real fruit is much more attractive than fake because it aquires lovely brownish spots and those adorable little fruit flies.
I think fake fruit should be scented…that way…it’s even MORE confusing.
The real problem with fake fruit? It doesn’t prevent scurvy. Oh, and it’s just weird.
My real issue lies with people who have fake plants or flowers. Or perhaps the issue is mine…but in any case, I can’t seem to stop myself from covertly glancing around the room and then feeling up the leaves or flower petals to sort out whether they’re alive or plastic.
I have seen fake fruit, but only once or twice in my lifetime. And it was always in an office setting. Why would someone have fake fruit in their house?
Fake plants are way more common.
But seriously, right, if there’s fake fruit, why isn’t there fake vegtables? Wouldn’t that go a long way towards convincing people you had a healthy kitchen/cooking thing going on? A nice big head of fake broccoli next to a bundle or rustic looking fake carrots. Maybe some fake meat as well. A couple of fake hams hanging from the ceiling beside a nice flank of fake venison.
you know who else has fake fruit in their house, besides painters? grandmas.
Fake hor d’ouevres and fake chocolates (ala Kristine) set out at a party … that would be so funny!
Fake bones set out by Pauly D. for us to bite on.
so people go through all that to tell if it’s real or fake and still have to ask? hm..
Fake fruit tastes good with fake teeth, especially when it has artificial flavor added. It goes well with the fake plants and the fake plastic trees, you know, the Christmas kind. I like to bake up real cookies, but with fake sugar, fake butter, and fake chocolate. It’s all nice and all, but nothing compares to the fake turkey that we zap in the microwave.
You are such a phony monkey!
That’s not even a real box you’re in, is it? You should look outside of the fake box and get real tail.
Don’t forget the seasonal favorite: fake fruit-cake.
i keep a basket of fake fruit around all the time.
well, it’s actually not fruit but one banana, and it’s actually not in a basket but under my pillow.
I was going to open up that whole can of worms in my “fake meat” comment meme, but just though it was too obvious.
I think fake fruit that actually looks fake is worse. I grew up with a bunch of wooden fruits and vegetables (I believe there were carrots) as part of the decor. See, those aren’t even proper decoys, so what is the point?
my house had the big wooden spoon and fork on the wall. ahh, memories.
The only person I have ever known to have fake fruit was my grandmother. I never gave it this much thought but now that you mention it, it is pretty fruitless… ha ha… get it????
But I have never seen fake fruit that actually looked real. Does such a thing actually exist?
I lived in a furnished apartment in New York a while ago and a picture on the wall had a bowl that was painted with 3-D fruit in it, not only that the fruit was fuzzy – like velvet. Fake, velvet fruit. Nice. Had to look at that for two years because it was bolted to the wall.
A lemon? A lemon is mandatory in a bowl of fruit? Since when do people keep lemons in a bowl of fruit?
Keith – No idea what that spike-like fruit is, but if you saw that in a bowl you’d know it was real. There ain’t no warehouse in Taiwan putting out plastic versions of these babies!
Tamara – You obviously never read my post on shampoo, lotion or food. The last thing we need are more non-food items smelling like food unless we are supposed to be eating them. Ya hear?
Flower Girl – What’s the tomato for?
Sara J. – I love fruit cake. Although I suspect the fake stuff doesn’t taste nearly as good as the real stuff.
Rachel – This sounds like hell to me. You should be able to take everything down in an apartment. I would have made it my goal, like Michael Keaton in Pacific Heights to destroy that secured 3-D artwork or else!
I never ask. I tap it with my fingernail instead to see if it sounds funny, lol.
Lexie – There’s this thing you can buy here which is Lemon Juice in a lemon-shaped plastic bottle thing. I don’t think anyone’s supposed to think that it’s real, it’s just a novelty.
It’s mostly for use with pancakes and stuff.
When I was a kid, the fake fruit display was very popular. You could usually tell it was fake from the layer of dust gathered on it.
You can always tell that the bowl of fruit on my counter is real because we get these annoying little fruit flies.

Mississippi State University currently recycles an average of 60,400 pounds per month. The campus-wide sustainability initiative "Maroon Goes Green" is continuing its efforts to increase recycling awareness and participation among the campus community. Custodial staff members continue to be an integral part of this process and are committed to helping us increase our recycling numbers.
Past research on our campus has shown that recyclables make up an overwhelming majority of office waste. To reduce contamination of recyclables, the Office of Sustainability is working to ensure all offices have bins with blue bags for recyclables only and to have convenient trash containers placed in buildings throughout campus. Buildings in need of common area trash containers should contact Facilities Management or the Office of Sustainability. If you are located in a building not serviced by Facilities Management, contact your building operator/manager.
-- Be aware of the types of items that can be recycled. Aluminum, paper (not paper towels), cardboard and plastics #1 and #2 all can be placed together in any recycling container on campus.
-- Prevent contamination of recycling. Food waste and liquids can ruin an entire batch of recycling and send it to the landfill, defeating our efforts. Be sure to empty liquids from bottles and cans and rinse food containers before placing them in recycling bins. Place all food and non-recyclable waste into trash cans in common areas (restrooms, kitchen or break areas, hallways and exits).
Questions regarding the recycling program on campus can be directed to the Office of Sustainability at maroongoesgreen@msstate.edu or (662) 325-2005.

GreenBuildingAdvisor.com is dedicated to providing the most useful, accurate, and complete information about designing, building, and remodeling energy-efficient, sustainable, and healthy homes.
A product of Taunton Press, publisher of Fine Homebuilding, GreenBuildingAdvisor.com draws on 25+ years of experience publishing residential construction information.
All of the editors at GreenBuildingAdvisor.com (Our Team) are former builders, remodelers, and designers. Because of that we know the need for a single resource where design and construction professionals and knowledgeable homeowners can get the full complement of the information — and insight — they need to design, build, and remodel green. That’s why we’ve brought proven construction details, in-depth how-to advice, a green-products database, green business strategies, design tools, and alternate paths to code compliance together in one place.
There are several other aspects of GreenBuildingAdvisor.com that make it very different from other information resources on green homebuilding.
• Focus on quality — It should not be a surprise that the publishers of Fine Homebuilding would celebrate the link between green building and quality. We firmly believe you can build a quality home that’s not green, but you can’t build a green home without quality.
• Information you can trust — Our information comes from leading green experts around the world — people who have years of experience in sustainable residential building and know what works. That includes our 15 Advisors — top green builders, architects, and remodelers — who contribute frequently to our site.
• Insight built on experience — Good information about any topic is valuable, but it’s worth far more if accompanied by the advice and insight that comes from experienced professionals who have had both successes and failures. The “process tips” field notes shown on our construction drawings are a good example.
• A conversation, not a lecture — GreenBuildingAdvisor.com is a suite of online information resources and management tools at its core, but its greatest value comes from the GreenBuildingAdvisor.com community sharing experiences, questions, techniques, agreement and disagreement, successes and failures, and the wisdom gained from all these.
