Around July this year, one year after breaking from the shelf, the iceberg began to move. It was not readily seen as that part of the world remains under darkness in winter.
One of the largest ever icebergs on record, weighing in at over a trillion tons broke of the Larsen C ice shelf in July last year. The iceberg, called A68, is massive, it covers an area of 5,000 sq km and is about 350 metres thick. That is bigger than most cities in the world. This massive chunk of ice is now headed back toward Antarctica and is about to crash into the ice shelf from whence it came.
The iceberg was so massive, it spent the better part of a year simply stuck in the mud, in the sea floor, reports Earther. Now, in the middle of winter in that part of the world, the iceberg has made its biggest move since falling into the water. It has made a dramatic counter-clockwise spin and is headed toward the Larsen C shelf for a big crash.
According to ProjectMIDAS, an Antarctic research group, A68 is the sixth largest iceberg on record. Last year, as it broke off and fell into the ocean, the whole world watched with bated breadth, taking in every little piece of information about the shelf along the way. After the actual break and footage of it being released, the iceberg promptly got itself stuck on the ocean bed in a region called the Bawden Ice Rise, a shallow part of the sea where a berg of this size found itself grounded and unable to move.
Around July this year, one year later, the iceberg began to move. It was not readily seen as that part of the world remains under darkness in winter. A68 had started to drift north, notes the report. Mark Brandon, Polar oceanographer spotted this action using the brightness temperature data from the Suomi NPP satellite.
Data was then processed into false-colour images. Here, warmer regions like the ocean water are bright in comparison to the cooler icy surfaces like on the glaciers and icebergs. The images show A68 making a counter-clockwise turn in July, and by the end of August, the it completed a 90 degree rotation, placing itself perpendicular to the shelf.
As to what made A68 move, the report mentions that no knows as of now. One of the reasons why glaciologists are uncertain about this movement is because the sea bed in this region is not clearly mapped as yet, so predicting what will happen now, is not possible.

Montreal General Hospital's resident archivist and semi-official historian Herb Bercovitz, 89, looks at the hospital's first patient admissions book dating from 1822-1928. It's one of many hospital artifacts he has collected over many years.

A treasure trove of Montreal medical history
Archivist's MGH collection will go to new MUHC superhospital
(Montreal Gazette) He was 38 years old, listed as a Protestant and an Anglus (Latin for Englishman), residing in what was then known as the village of "La Chine."
Not much else is known about Richard King, except that on May 3, 1822, he became the first patient to be admitted to the Montreal General Hospital on what was then Dorchester Blvd., near St-Dominique St.
King was suffering from hepatitis. Most of his fellow patients were infected with typhus and cholera, which were running rampant in the city at the time.
Nine days later, King was "cured" and charged 10 pence, according to the hospital's "in door patients" book. There were two other medical-outcome columns in that book: "relieved" and "dead." Morphine was commonly used to relieve patients of their ailments.
But others died in agony in the 70-bed hospital — built at a cost of 5,865 pounds. A patient by the name of Terence O'Brien, age 44, of "the Church of Rome" and originally from Hibernia (Ireland), was admitted on Oct. 28, 1826, and died two days later. The cause of death? Delirium tremens.
These pages of medical history — along with a rickety wooden wheelchair and vials of tiny tablets containing "mercurous chloride" and "capsicum powder" for the treatment of diarrhea — are among the many rarities that are carefully preserved on the 21st floor of the hospital that has stood on Cedar Ave. since 1955.
"This is valuable stuff. I couldn't let it go to waste," said Herbert Bercovitz, the Montreal General's volunteer historian and medical artifact archivist for nearly a quarter-century.
Bercovitz, who says he's "88 and a half," worked as the Montreal General's director of hospital services until his retirement in 1989. But he never truly retired, and instead focused his energies on cataloguing thousands of distinct items from the hospital that might otherwise have disappeared into the dustbin of history.
"Come, take a look at this," he said of one of his prized finds. He bent down, and opened the metal drawer of a grey filing cabinet.
He gingerly pulled out a wool maroon-and-white jersey — probably dating to the late 19th century — of the MGH hockey team. On top of the filing cabinet were two hockey trophies: the Urinal Cup and the Bedpan Cup — both slightly tarnished replicas of the real things.
As the McGill University Health Centre plans to move many of its clinical activities to the $1.3-billion superhospital in Notre-Dame-de-Grâce by the summer of 2015, archivists have been busy collecting fine art and antique medical equipment from the Royal Victoria Hospital. An archivist will also visit Bercovitz's office to take stock of his inventory at the Montreal General, said Ian Popple, a MUHC spokesman.
"There's been a gap of some years from the time (Bercovitz) started this collection and when the archivists began the work," Popple said. "Who knows what would have happened to this stuff without him."
Bercovitz, who still has a shock of undyed black hair on his head, couldn't contain his enthusiasm of his collection. He pointed to an ornate brass samovar that used to dispense tea. He opened what looked like a clarinet case and grabbed a stainless steel tube.
"It's a gastroscope," he said. "The kind we use today are flexible."
The annals of medicine tell the story of continuous refinement from big, crude devices to ever-smaller, more precise instruments. There are very few medical devices in Bercovitz's dusty office that are small.
Next to his desk stood a large wooden box with a glass dome on it.
"Patients sat in the box and breathed and their pulmonary function was measured," he explained.
Bercovitz likes to show visitors a black-and-white photo of a patient on an operating room table, a gas mask over the man's face. Doctors and nurses are crowded around him, their hands stuck in his abdomen. Directly beneath the patient, under the operating room table, sits a bucket to collect blood and surgically removed tissue.
Finally, Bercovitz fished out a black leather-bound pharmacy pill kit manufactured by Park Davis & Co. of Detroit. He opened the kit to reveal an anachronistic row of glass tubes that still contained pills. On each tube is a sticker. "Tonsillitis" read one sticker, with a list of active ingredients that includes traces of belladonna leaves and byronia, a flowering plant of the cucumber.
"I'm emotionally attached to this hospital," Bercovitz said, "and these things give me such pleasure."
Heritage Hero: Herb Bercovitz
(MUHC) When Herb Bercovitz started working at the Montreal General Hospital (MGH) as director of Hospital Services, he had no idea what treasures lay hidden within its walls.
"It was 1988, the year before I retired. I was waiting for the elevator when a colleague told me she had come across some valuable objects," recalls Bercovitz. "She wasn't sure what to do with them and neither was I, so I told her to bring them to my office."
This soon became Bercovitz's line. "People just kept coming to talk to me about the things they found. I didn't know what to do with everything, so I started cataloguing it. By the time I retired, my office was full."
He mentions having found the first MGH admitting book dating back to 1822, an old pulmonary function device, a plethora of old photographs and more. "As I began to collect things, I started interviewing people. I met with physicians, administrators, even a woman who used to be a waitress at the hospital when it was on Dorchester!"
"All these objects represent the beginnings of the hospital," says Bercovitz, who was so devoted to his task that when he retired he continued as the keeper of historical MGH art and artefacts as a volunteer. "We have such a rich history―we have to make sure to protect and share it."

I received an email asking if I would like to meet Ernest Adams, the man who helped in create Madden football, as part of a video game design workshop at DeVry University on Dunlap between 19th Avenue and I-17.
I really didn't what to ask the guy but questions started swirling through my head like "Who does EA think they are by creating the only NFL game?" and "Do these video game specific classes help or hurt the students?" I was going to get my answers straight out of the horse's mouth. Not only did Adams work on the Madden franchise, he also wrote a book titled "Break Into The Game Industry: How to Get A Job Making Video Games." To say the least, he was an expert.
I immediately called back and said I would be attending.
The build-up to the workshop was spent drawing up questions. I wasn't going to let this pass me by. I wanted to know thing. I needed to know things. I was going to get my information and possibly dig up some dirt.
I arrived at the campus amped and ready to go. I didn't really care about the workshop. I wanted to talk to Adams. Get my dirt.
Quick side note: The DeVry Phoenix campus is really nice. I think it's a new building, but it seems nicely laid out complete with a mini market and big classrooms. For a technical college, it seemed really inviting.
I had to wait until the end of the workshop to talk to Adams because I have this problem with timeliness. The workshop started at one and arrived five minutes before that. I had enough time to introduce myself. No worries, I thought, I'll sit through this and come up with more questions.
Something strange happened. Hit me like a ton a bricks. I had no idea about the process of video games and what goes into making them. The first thirty minutes of the workshop was spent with Adams describing the different types of jobs, games, points-of-view and scenarios, and why each of these are important to the other.
He spoke with the passion of a man who has been in the business for quite some time. I got the feeling he didn't look at games as something with pretty graphics or advanced technology. He was more concerned with the emotion of the game. How the player feels while playing the game.
Near the end of the first session, he said he was going to break the class out into groups and hand out a game idea to each group to brainstorm it out. Three people to each group: a writer, user-interface designer, and mechanics engineer. A few people in the class bowed out. They didn't want to participate. He asked me if I wanted to participate, and I immediately jumped on the chance.
The group I was in consisted of myself, of course, Nelson Bixler, a first-year student in the Game and Simulation Programming department, and Xavier Olivas, a prospective student with a strong passion for video games. Bixler acted as the U/I Designer, Olivas on mechanics, and I was tabbed to be the writer.
After we divvied up the jobs, Adams handed a little note card with a game idea on it. We jobbed to make game where the gamer's dream was to be… Little Miss World. It was to be a game for 8-year-old girls. Earlier in the workshop he told us that 35-year-old men developed the Bratz games. In other words, we had to get in touch with our inner 8-year-old girl.
I started thinking out loud, "What was I playing when I was eight? What was popular in 1984?" A stunned silence fell over my group. Both the guys were looking like I was the oldest guy they've ever seen.
"I was born that year, dude," Bixler, 23, said.
"Man, I wasn't even born yet," Olivas, 19, said, adding insult to injury.
"Hey, guys, Super Mario rocked in the arcade," I said trying to defend myself and all old school gamers.
Back to the game, we decided to make the game a sort of satire on the child beauty pageant industry. The opening scene would be an empty room with a solitary trophy sitting on the mantle, which belonged to mother. This room would soon be filled with trophies won by the mother's daughter. We then cut to the mother and daughter traversing through a dress shop looking for the perfect dress on a $50 budget.
With the perfect dress chosen and purchased by the player, we move into the area where the player practices walking the runway by pressing buttons at the right time. We'd give them enough time to hit the button. The talent portion of pageant is where gaming ingenuity really comes into play. The player can hook in a guitar, a microphone, dance mat, or go with button repetition for a gymnastic or baton twirling competition.
Experience and money are gained by doing well in competitions. The player can use the money to buy new clothes, pay a stylist, get new music, etc. The player would work her way through different levels of competition: city, county, state, region, national, and finally landing Zurich for the big competition.
Adams would walk around the room offering advice to whoever needed it.
The final step of the process was creating a promotional poster for our game. Our poster was the earth and a little standing in front of with a guitar and mic. We had to go up to the front of the class to pitch our game. All the groups had really great ideas. Any fears I had of DeVry creating basically non-creative code monkeys was dashed because some of the games were really creative and well thought out.
The real story here isn't Ernest Adams: the Madden game developer. It was about Ernest Adams: the ambassador of video games. The couple of moments I had to sit down with and talk was less about what I had planned on, but more of what he liked about games.
He said the game he liked so far this year was BioShock because of the moral choices that the player is forced to take when dealing with the Little Sisters, and that it was a satire on Ayn Rand. He said you almost feel sorry Andrew Ryan because his Libertarian utopia really came crashing down.
Adams also said that he draws inspiration from Leonardo Da Vinci because he was both an artist and an engineer. He saw the world from both sides.
I have new faith the breed of video game developer and designers coming out of schools like DeVry. They all have a real passion for the industry and for games, in general. I hope to playing their games some time in the near future.

Is ground beef good after 5 days in fridge?
Ground beef can be refrigerated and safely eaten up to 2 days past this date (3, 6). Food will have the best taste and quality before this date. You shouldn't eat ground beef past its expiration date unless it's been frozen, in which case it can last up to 4 months ( 8 ).
How long is raw ground beef good for in the fridge?
It is safe to store ground beef in the refrigerator for 1–2 days, and eat leftovers within 4 days. A person can store ground beef in the freezer for up to 4 months. When cooking ground beef, the minimum internal temperature as measured with a food thermometer is 160°F (71°C).
How can you tell if beef is spoiled?
Beef that has gone bad will develop a slimy or sticky texture and smell bad or "off." If beef develops a grayish color, that doesn't necessarily mean it has gone bad. Don't taste meat to determine if it's safe to eat or not. Call the USDA's hotline.

Is ground beef good after a week in the fridge?
Regardless what color the beef is, two weeks is entirely too long to refrigerate ground beef. It is unsafe and should be thrown out. Raw ground beef only keeps in the refrigerator for 1-2 days. Ignoring storage time, regarding color, brown meat is as safe to eat as red meat.
How good is ground beef after the sell by date?
Generally, you can expect to be able to use ground beef one to three days after the "sell by" date depending on how it has been handled. Quality begins to decline on the Sell by date, so you should try to use the meat as soon as you can. Don't use foods that show signs of spoilage such as mold, off-odor, slimy texture.
How long can you freeze raw ground beef?
Ground beef is safe indefinitely if kept frozen, but it is best if used within 4 months. Refrigerate or freeze ground beef as soon as possible after purchase. This preserves freshness and slows the growth of bacteria.
Why does ground beef turn brown?
This darkening is due to oxidation, the chemical changes in myoglobin due to the oxygen content. This is a normal change during refrigerator storage. Beef that has turned brown during extended storage may be spoiled, have an off-odor, and be tacky to the touch and should not be used.
What does bad beef smell like?
It smells bad Fresh red meat has a light bloody, or metallic smell. This scent isn't overpowering and you will usually have to place your nose very close to smell it. On the other hand, if your steak has gone bad, it will have a definitive odor that smells sour, or a little like eggs or ammonia.

How long after eating spoiled meat will I get sick?
The time it takes food poisoning symptoms to start can vary. Illness often starts in about 1 to 3 days. But symptoms can start any time from 30 minutes to 3 weeks after eating contaminated food. The length of time depends on the type of bacteria or virus causing the illness.
What color is bad meat?
Spoiled meat will have a distinct, pungent smell that will make your face scrunch up. Texture – In addition to an unpleasant scent, spoiled meats can be sticky or slimy to the touch. Color – Rotten meats will also undergo a slight change in color. Poultry should be anywhere from a bluish-white to yellow in color.
Can you leave steak in the fridge for a week?
Most steaks can be left in the fridge safely for 3 to 5 days.
Can I cook meat that's been in the fridge for a week?

What to Know About the Tummy Tuck You might be familiar with the concept of the tummy tuck procedure but be looking for more information about what that means or whether it is the right option for you. Here are some things to know about a tummy tuck procedure before you even make the step towards talking to a plastic surgeon. People who are considering a tummy tuck might feel like they need to get rid of some extra fat in the area, but the procedure works best for people who actually need to tighten up some muscle and skin as well. Frequently people who are seeking out a tummy tuck are those who have recently recovered from having a baby or people who have lost a lot of weight and can't firm their waist back up with diet and exercise alone. Women who are getting a tummy tuck post childbirth should only get a tummy tuck procedure if they think that they are done having kids, since gaining weight again can undue the procedure. The way that a tummy tuck procedure will turn out is going to depend on where you're starting from, but a good rule of thumb is to get as close to your goal weight as possible before committing to the procedure. A tummy tuck procedure is an effective way to get rid of the stretch marks that exist underneath the bellybutton, but any that existed above the bellybutton will be moved down as opposed to removed entirely. You won't be able to get a tummy tuck procedure without ending up with some scars, but for most people the payoff is worth it and the scars tend to fade over time anyway and won't cause tons of issues. Each surgeon will have a different idea about how scars based on their technique so that might be one of the things that you discuss with potential doctors when you're trying to find the perfect fit.
Analyzing The Programs Offered By A Rehabilitation Center Due to the relative ease in the accessibility of drugs, a lot of people are suffering from an addiction. Accordingly, many rehabilitation centers have been put up to help such people fight with the addiction. Ensuring that the programs of a rehabilitation center are effective upfront. A relapse is bound to happen in instances when the program is not effective. When looking for a rehabilitation center, a person should consider the kind of promises offered. Before choosing a rehabilitation center, a person should consider the reviews of other people. The best way to avoid a heartbreak from happening is by choosing the right center. Unless a person is sure of the method used by the rehabilitation center to determine success, he should keep away from it. A number of rehabilitation centers across the country determine their success by the nature of family relations that an addict has after the program. The ability of attain gainful employment is also used as a parameter for measuring success. In a bid to measure success, there are numerous rehabilitation centers which consider the changes in the morality of an individual. Considering the length of the rehabilitation program in advance is always important. For instance, there are some rehabilitation centers which have a long term program. There are also some rehabilitation centers which have a short term programs for their patients. The long term program is more desirable since there will be a lot of follow up on the patient.
A long term program helps patients in attaining stable sobriety. Physical damage is likely to emanate from a drug addiction. There are also chances that mental damage has arisen as a result of the addiction that a person is suffering from. The right rehabilitation center should aspire to teach the patients some life skills. By teaching an addict some life skills, he will be in a better position to cope in the future. Depression is likely to occur when a person lacks life skills. Indeed, depression has been shown to be one of the leading causes for a relapse.
Before choosing a rehabilitation center, a person should consider whether it has a nutritional component. In most of the instances, addicts are likely to suffer from a bad state of health. For instance, intestinal problems are very common in people suffering from an addition. According to studies, intestinal problems are likely to cause malnutrition in patients. A majority of the people experiencing an addiction are also likely to suffer form a brain disease. When a patient is given some nutritional supplements, he will recover within a short time. Prior to choosing a rehabilitation program, a person should always consider the cost.
Have you thought about having a small home based business? There are so many individuals who are very much interested when it comes to making their own business. There are a lot of options that you can find and a small choice could be to craft custom buttons for friends, family or nearby businesses.
Making custom buttons is definitely easy. Perhaps, you have seen those small pinback buttons that you are able to find in the local toy shop or the gum-ball machine. If you see how easy it is to make the buttons on your own, then you will surely get amazed at the number of varieties of colorful buttons which you will be able to make.
If you plan to make custom buttons, you need to have that button making machine, the button blanks as well as good paper stock for the buttons. You need a few things to start with. The blanks are the first things that you must have. The button blanks are those small metallic forms that may or may not have such pin backing. Get to know that there are buttons with no pin. This is done so that they can be attached to the clothing with the use of a magnet to prevent to poke a hole through garments. Know that the button blanks are used to hold the image that is fixed through using the button making machine.
You must also get the right paper for the buttons too. The commonly accepted paper is 24lb in weight. Apart from being really expensive, the heavier weight paper is actually prone to jamming in the smaller button machines. There is actually no benefit to that thicker, high quality paper when making buttons. The lighter weight paper could become translucent and you might have some of the metallic backing becoming nearly visible through paper. This is surely not the result that you desire to have. The selection of paper would depend on the recommendation on the instructions of the button machine so you have to be sure that you would go through the instructions carefully. When you like to have this simple hobby, then you could actually buy a cheap equipment and make buttons for your friends.
A Guide to the Treatment of Varicose Veins Varicose veins are characterized by enlarged swollen blood vessels that may twist and turn. The condition affects the legs in which case veins in question can be seen through the skin. In most people affected by varicose veins, the symptoms are aching in legs, fatigue, and restlessness. Fortunately, there several medical and surgical approaches that can help treat the condition. Support Stockings One of the most conventional varicose vein management options, support stockings are particularly worn to control pain or discomfort in the veins. These stockings can bought at a surgical supplies shop. There are various designs for the stockings, such as pantyhose, and others for wearing above or below the knee.
Your lifestyle can have a bearing on the improvement or worsening varicose veins symptoms, and as such, it helps to avoid any activities or habits capable of making your condition worse. Good cleanliness of the skin is vital when it comes to the management of varicose veins. If you're obese, try losing weight so that there's less pressure on your legs. In addition, walking can also help with symptoms of varicose veins. Laser Treatment (Endovenous) Endovenous laser therapy entails the insertion of a tiny laser fiber into the vein. After that, the varicose vein is destroyed by pulses of laser that are delivered to it through the fiber. This treatment is administered under local anesthesia on an outpatient basis. Treatment via Radiofrequency Occlusion With radiofrequency occlusion, a tiny catheter is inserted into the vein. The purpose of this catheter is to transmit radiofrequency energy to the affected vein's wall, heating it and causing it to collapse and close shut. Normally, this ought to be an outpatient therapy, and sometimes it requires local anesthesia. Surgery There are several surgical methods that can be used to remove varicose veins. There is ligation, which involves tying off an affected vein, and stripping, which is involves removing an extended segment of the affected vein. There's also ambulatory phlebectomy surgery, which is ideal for large surface veins, and involves the making of tiny incisions that call for no stitching. Local, spinal, or general anesthesia are perfect for this kind of surgery. Surgery for varicose veins treatments is an outpatient procedure for the majority of patients. The exact nature of your disorder will dictate whether or not surgery is necessary, although normally, the treatment of large varicose veins requires surgery. Should You See a Physician Now? Of course, varicose veins causing too much discomfort despite lifestyle adjustments or even wearing stockings require to be assessed by a doctor for a more effective remedy. Nonetheless, varicose veins can be removed for aesthetic purposes. Obtain a doctor's prescription if you're seeking varicose vein removal.

Infertility and reproductive medicine have been used by many people since ages ago. In the past, several medical experts even made books which record how reproductive medicines were being used before. These kinds of medicines are more helpful for us today due to the rising number of individuals who are experiencing infertility.
Statistics show that the number of individuals suffering from infertility has been rising for the past couple of years and the most affected ones are males. Due to the fact that infertility can affect not just couples but teenagers too, this has become a major concern to the government and for medical practitioners. There are a lot of cases of married women being left behind by their husbands because of their infertility. Infertility is not inherited but it is a product of too much stress and lack of proper and balanced diet. Infertility is not a permanent situation because it can still be cured through the right medication and counselling.
Married women who are infertile should visit a medical practitioner right away by going to her nearest hospital or health care unit. After simply examinations and tests in the hospital, the doctor or medical practitioner can tell you your present condition and what you should do if in case you are really infertile.
Before taking any medication for infertility, you will be advised first to start changing your daily routine to a much healthier one. If you are a chain smoker and an alcohol addict, you must first prevent yourself from taking such substances because these can greatly affect your fertility condition. You may also seek advice from the doctor on what you should do to increase your fertilization.
In order for an infertile woman to get pregnant, she must first start with the basic steps and then continue to take reproduction medicines. If you need more information about how this works, simply give your doctor a call or a personal visit.
Fertility problems should not be resorted to surgery or anything alike. Surgeries, such as the removal of the fallopian tube, can be dangerous to one's health. Besides, taking simple medication is still the most effective way of treating infertility. Surgical operations regarding this matter do not always yield good results.
There are also artificial ways of getting a woman bear a child without the full presence of the husband. However, couples should only consider this as their very last option. If you want to find out more information about this topic and IVF, simply search through credible sources from the internet.

Joe Biden To Hold Formal Press Conference As Presidency Nears One-Year Mark

UPDATED, with additional details: Joe Biden will hold a press conference at the White House on Wednesday, the day before his presidency hits the one-year mark.
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki made the announcement at the daily briefing on Friday. "The president looks forward to speaking directly to the American people," she said.
The solo press conference will be his first solo press conference at the White House since March 25. According to Mark Knoller of CBS News, Biden also has had five solo news conferences on foreign trips and two joint press conferences at the White House with foreign leaders. News organizations and the White House Correspondents' Association have been pressing the White House for more access, but the administration has noted that the president takes questions from the reporters, multiple times during a given week. But reporters say that those more informal encounters, often with shouted questions, don't compare to the formal news conferences and their opportunities for follow ups.
Biden indicated that another press conference was in the works on Thursday, when NBC News' Kelly O'Donnell asked him, "Maybe a press conference soon, Mr. President. We would look forward to that." "Me too," he said in response.
The number of correspondents, photographers and technicians allowed to attend the press conference will be limited to 42, a contrast to pre-Covid days when the media would be packed into the East Room of the White House. All participants also will have to be tested.

Version 4 Launched
Recently, I decided I needed a project. So I decided it was time to update The Carpeted Wall (TCW). But then came the big decision: WordPress or nah? You see, as I've gotten more and more into Wordpress, to the point of exclusively using it for client builds, I always was proud to keep my portfolio as one that was hand-coded. This showed that I didn't have to rely on fancy, new CMS technology in order to build a website. I could prove my HTML and CSS skills are real. But two facts convinced me to give in and go WordPress once again. I didn't want the trouble of building a true 100% responsive site (which is something the old version was lacking because it was so out of date). No one cares anymore. Sure, it's a big deal for most employers to need to know you »
Stage Magazine Rebrand
Stage Magazine has undergone a very smooth rebranding and The Carpeted Wall is very proud to have helped. Along with a domain name switch, Stage required a new logo and a new website, both of which have been added into the portfolio. »
A new section has surfaced on the site. Print work! This is where I will place examples of graphic design work I've done for print. Obviously… »
A new logo has been added to our portfolio, thanks to Eighty6 Appeal who commissioned The Carpeted Wall to design a logo for use on their business cards. There are talks that TCW will also be tapped to design and build a website for this new, independant cosmetology business. »
Stage Magazine
As a result of a successful redesign of thevillageplayers.com, The Carpeted Wall has now added stagepartners.org (A.K.A. STAGE Magazine) to its website portfolio. This site was also programmed in Wordpress and should provide its many dedicated followers a new, flashier look and a greater organization of current and past reviews, interviews, and local theatre announcements and press releases. Additionally, the Member's Only area of the website was able to be transferred to this new layout without disturbing the current subscriptions whatsoever. »
The Village Players
The Carpeted Wall is proud to present the newest addition to our portfolio of design. Thevillageplayers.com asked us to help with a new design of their site and we hope the new design presents a more informative and organized representation of the theater company. Programmed in Wordpress, this re-design is not only giving The Village Players of Hatboro a fresh look, but also provides many more ways for users to engage with the group via RSS, Facebook, and Twitter (which TCW also helps maintain). But that's not all! TCW has recently been commissioned to re-design stagepartners.org, the familiar newsletter found in theater lobbies and in the hands of theater actors and devotees! More info later when that site, which will also be programmed using the Wordpress CMS, launches. »
TCW Version 3
The Carpeted Wall receives its second re-design in 9 years. It's been fun looking back at the original design from 2001 and a refreshing change from the design launched in 2005. I hope it serves as a more professional looking showcase of some of my best efforts over the years. Of course, I'm sure it will continue to evolve further as time goes on. »
ECJ Tragedy
Since a growing number of web surfers are investigating their way to this website today in the wake of a tragic event, I'd like to express my sympathy for the families and friends involved with those who lost their lives today in the plane crash which occured in Minnesota. Secondly, I should mention that although East Coast Jets still uses my design for their website, I forfeited all webmaster duties back in January 2007 (approximately) and have not been in communication with anyone in the company since then. So if you're looking for any information here, I've got nothing for you. »
The ultimate Tally Hall fan headquarters, hiddeninthesand.com, is launched. After months of researching, designing, and learning, this has been a tough personal project to put together and it's still not completed. Most likely, it will be one of those sites that will be constantly morphing, adjusting, and adapting as time goes on. With a completely interactive and comprehensive FAQ system, a Flash based chatroom (complete with file sharing, AI bots, interchangeable themes which the users can control and edit, and fun sounds), and lots more interactivity, this is THE place to learn, connect, and share with other Tally Hall fans. www.hiddeninthesand.com »
East Coast Jets
The Carpeted Wall has just completed and launched its newest website, www.eastcoastjets.com. Need to charter a jet? Consider East Coast Jets. There are great guys and gals there and they're sure to treat you right. »

You like to collect VN's musics right?


Timneh African Grey parrots, Psittacus erithacus timneh, are smaller and not as well known as their larger cousins the Congo African Greys. They are predominately dark gray, with dark maroon tails and a white patch of skin around their eyes. Timneh African Greys have black upper beaks with pink areas on each side. Their lower beaks are black. They originate from Africa in southern Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia and the Ivory Coast.
Timneh African Greys are around 12 inches in length and weigh around 320 grams.
Timneh African Grey parrots are outgoing and playful. Like the Congos, they can also develop large vocabularies. Also, like the Congos, they are intelligent and need a lot of stimulation to keep them occupied. Timneh African Grey parrots tend to be more outgoing and unafraid of new things than the Congos. Timnehs have a lot of energy and love to explore new things. They also can be a little bit dominant and bossy.
Timneh African Greys, like the Congo African Greys, tend to be hard beaked, meaning they don't often give a gentle warning nip when they are being asked to do something they really don't want to do. Because of this, they are not the best choice of bird to have around small children.
Timneh African Grey parrots are a wonderful, fun, intelligent bird to have as a companion. They love to play, and thrive when given challenges to overcome which makes it fun to teach them tricks. They are an excellent addition to the right household.

Tuesday morning crash created large boom and knocked out power for some residents
Jerrad Anderson
Update: The driver, and only occupant of the vehicle, has been confirmed dead by the Fremont County Sheriffs Department. You can see more details here.
Just before 7:00 a.m. Tuesday morning, many Riverton residents said they heard a large explosion like "boom" sound, followed by sirens.
Some residents near Smith Rd. lost power for most of the morning, while most Riverton citizens we're hearing from said they only lost power for a few seconds.
County 10 arrived on Smith Road and discovered what appeared to be a single vehicle accident. Fremont County Sheriffs had a large perimeter established and we were asked not to get near the scene.
One Sheriff Deputy on scene told us the vehicle, "left the roadway and crashed through a fence, into a power pole."
Smith Road was closed to traffic for nearly two hours Tuesday while utility crews worked on the power lines and while EMS crews cleared the scene. It is currently open to traffic, however there are traffic barriers indicating that utility crews might be present.
The Deputy on scene confirmed there were injuries, but could not say how severe. We've reached out the Sheriff's Department for more information and will update as soon as we receive more.

Gov. Doug Ducey unleashes a Tweetstorm after Joe Biden calls him out on masks
Opinion: Gov. Ducey, whose approval ratings have plummeted given his handling of COVID-19, took to Twitter on Friday to pat himself on the back for his leadership. No really, he did.
Talk about turning a frown upside down.
Gov. Doug Ducey — a governor whose approval ratings have plummeted given his handling of COVID-19 — took to Twitter 16 times on Friday to pat himself on the back for his leadership.
I am not making this up.
Ducey got his back up after Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, during a Friday press conference in Delaware, called him out for not imposing a statewide mask mandate.
"Just look at what happened in Arizona," Biden said. "Republican governor initially tried to bar local governments from implementing mask mandates in their communities.
"In June, Arizona got hit with a surge of cases. Hospitals were flooded. The state health system was overwhelmed."
All of which is ... true.
Except, apparently, in Duceyland.
"I hear @JoeBiden is out there attacking the 'Republican governor of Arizona,' " he wrote. "I guess he *does* see 'red and blue' states after all. But if you're going after AZ, Joe, get your facts straight."
Ducey then unleashed a string of 16 tweets, singing his own praises for steering the state through the pandemic.
About those shutdowns he stopped ...
Consider a few of his attaboys:
"Early in the pandemic, I prohibited cities from implementing onerous shutdowns on local businesses and citizens as some local politicians threatened to bring our entire economy to a complete halt."
The mayors of Phoenix, Tucson and Flagstaff, in the absence of any statewide leadership, began shutting down bars and restaurants in their cities on March 17 as COVID-19 came to town. Other cities were poised to follow.
Finally, after days of public pressure by Sen. Kyrsten Sinema and others, Ducey imposed a statewide shutdown of all but "essential services" on March 20. As part of that order, he blocked cities from imposing any additional restrictions.
Ducey reasoned that he didn't want to see a patchwork of policies across the state.
Except, of course, for later, when a patchwork seemed preferable to pitchforks being carried by his political base.
... And those mask mandates he granted
"When mayors later asked for the ability to enforce mask mandates, I responded swiftly — issuing an executive order allowing them to do so," Ducey tweeted.
This is also true, though swiftly isn't the word I would use. In fact, it took a fair amount of begging.
As Arizona was setting single-day records for new cases and hospitalizations in mid-June, hundreds of doctors were signing open letters to the governor, calling on him to require masks in public.
Meanwhile, Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego, Tucson Mayor Regina Romero and others were pleading for Ducey to let them take further action to try to counter the surge of coronavirus cases that resulted after Ducey abruptly reopened the state in May (coincidentally, just hours before a visit from President Donald Trump).
Romero took to MSNBC on June 10 to report that she contacted the Governor's Office, hoping to get the authority to mandate masks in her city but was told to submit a meeting request form.
Gallego was all over TV sounding the alarm as Arizona became one of the nation's hotspots for the highly contagious virus.
"We were one of the last states to go to a stay-at-home order and one of the first to come out," Gallego told CNN's Don Lemon on June 11. "I'm concerned that people are getting mixed messages about how serious this is."
Finally on June 17 — in a week when Arizona had the nation's highest per capita rate of new infections over a seven-day average — Ducey relented. But rather than imposing a statewide mask mandate, he punted to cities and counties.
This, so as not to rile Republicans who saw masks as a symbol of government tyranny and a president who saw them as a sign of weakness.
Ducey loves masks, except when Trump's here
"We have promoted mask use and common sense." Ducey tweeted. "Masks work. Today we see masks worn statewide in nearly every setting as part of reopening guidelines. Our focus has been on compliance and public health education."
Except, of course, for every time Trump comes to town, when Ducey's focus is on kissing up to the presidential posterior. I can't even count the number of times Ducey has appeared unmasked at a Trump mass event.
If masks work, one might wonder why the governor wouldn't mandate them in the midst of a public health emergency.
Or at least act as a good role model by wearing one whenever he's in public.
Instead, this one takes credit for the effectiveness of a mask mandate that he refused to impose.
The goal was there. The spine was not
"Our goal from the beginning has been to protect public health and at the same time keep things moving in AZ — schools, universities, business," Ducey tweeted.
Actually, I believe this is true, too. This is Ducey's goal. It's his spine that, on occasion, gives out, leaving him unable to take the unpopular and alas, necessary steps to get and keep things under control.
When a team of University of Arizona/Arizona State University modeling experts warned in early May against reopening the state too quickly, Ducey dumped them and announced "we are on the other side of the pandemic."
How Sinema made everyone else at Davos look like sheep Hobbs is wildly out of touch with what Arizonans want Arizona could nix food taxes and hurt the poor even more Bill to ban preferred pronouns is theater of the absurd
When Scottsdale's nightclubs reopened in late May despite his closure order, he looked the other way until finally pressure built to the point where he was forced to shut them down.
When Trump announced he would hold a youth rally inside a 3,000-seat north Phoenix church in June, Ducey welcomed him even as the state's COVID-19 numbers were spiking.
When the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention strengthened its call for masks in July, Ducey launched a public service campaign rather than a doing the public the service of acting like a governor and mandating masks.
When cities in heavily Republican parts of the state over the last month have begun rescinding their mask ordinances.
Not politically driven? Oh, please
"We are data and fact driven; not politically driven. That's clearly not the DC-way, but it is the Arizona way."
OK, this one's a bit hard to swallow.
In Arizona, the number of COVD-19 cases is once again rising, the virus is once again spreading, hospitalizations are once again increasing and projections suggest that people whose lives could be saved, if we simply all wore masks, soon will be dying.
But Trump comes to town and announces the state is in "great shape", as a battleground state must be in the weeks before an election.
Meanwhile, Ducey hasn't had a public briefing on COVID-19 since Sept. 24.
And likely won't … until sometime after Nov. 3.

Aintree Racecourse is located in Sefton, Merseyside. The racecourse is best known for hosting the Grand National steeplechase. The grandstand was suffering badly from water ingress to the areas below due to the floor coatings and joint seals which had degraded over years of exposure to the elements. Koster flooring systems were specified to provide a long-term solution to the exposed areas, providing a decorative, slip-resistant finish suitable for UV exposure and the weather conditions faced in the UK. The completed area is the perfect spot to enjoy the worlds' biggest horse race in 2021 and beyond.

Q: Strange Meteor Error I know this may seem a little vague, but here goes.
I have started to receive the following error on restart and startup of my meteor application:
Exception from sub undefined Error
    at app/packages/minimongo/minimongo.js:50:44
    at /Users/me/projects/meteorapp/.meteor/local/build/server/server.js:298:12
    at Array.forEach (native)
    at Function._.each._.forEach (/Users/me/.meteor/tools/d699ad29da/lib/node_modules/underscore/underscore.js:78:11)
    at run (/Users/me/projects/meteorapp/.meteor/local/build/server/server.js:239:7)

The packages I have installed are:
{
  "meteor": {},
  "packages": {
    "router": {},
    "spin": {},
    "accounts-ui-bootstrap-dropdown": {},
    "roles": {},
    "user-status": {},
    "event-hooks": {},
    "sugarjs": {},
    "paginator": {},
    "momentjs": {},
    "collection-hooks": {},
    "jquery-ui": {},
    "collectionFS": {},
    "Mesosphere": {}
  }
}

I am using Meteor v 0.6.4.1.  I checked and made certain that my database doesn't have any duplicate entries.  Someone on IRC suggested that duplicate entries might be the cause of the error.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what may be causing this?
It appears that there is an error somewhere in my codebase.  Can anyone explain the error in any detail so that I might have better luck in tracking down the offending code?
Thanks in advance!

A: In your particular case, the issue appears to be with the user-status smart package. The error in particular was of this flavor:
{ name: 'MinimongoError', details: 'Duplicate _id \'bxFtQL4XjfrppD3hf\'' }

This occurs when the user-status code attempts to insert a document into UserSessions, but uses a specific _id, i.e. the value of sessionId. For whatever reason, this insert sometimes occurs more than once.  This UserSessions collection is instantiated with a null name in server code, which creates an in-memory collection. That helps explain why you saw a minimongo error message on the server.
I had to do some serious digging in order to have this error message show up. Otherwise, you get the very unhelpful stack trace you got.

A: sounds like a bug in the Mesosphere package, get in contact with the creator and mention the error https://github.com/copleykj/Mesosphere

A: I've gotten this error as well. See https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/meteor-talk/r6ENlLsrxoY
In my case it was because I was running a login in my Tinytest. Nothing was "wrong" but when I switched some things around, it went away.
I'm really not sure what is causing it, but I'm pretty sure it's a Meteor bug where the actual error is not being caught and reported correctly. We should report this.
I've filed an issue here: https://github.com/meteor/meteor/issues/1246
EDIT: Ironically, was caused by an error from one of my own packages not being reported correctly. We'll get that fixed but the meteor issue fixed as well.

Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel went after the Senate Republicans' latest effort to replace parts of Obamacare led by Sens. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) and Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.).
The media covered it as if Kimmel were a legitimate news source, but forgot to cover how Kimmel was fed Democratic Party talking points in his anti-GOP monologues.
Conservative media outlets such as Townhall and The Federalist covered this glaring omission, but the mainstream media did not point it out on their websites.

Humberside Police
Police update as man suffers 'serious head injuries' after being hit by car in Beverley Road
He was hit by a red BMW at around 6.40pm on Wednesday evening
Tom KershawContent Editor
A pedestrian has "serious head injuries" following a collision with a car along one of Hull's busiest carriageways.
The man had been crossing the road when he was hit by a red BMW travelling along Beverley Road at around 6.45pm on Wednesday evening.
Eyewitnesses at the scene last night told Hull Live that the man had been seen 'skidding' across the wet road and ended up underneath the vehicle.
Humberside Police was taken to Hull Royal Infirmary where he remains and no arrests have been made.
A Humberside Police spokeswoman said: "A man is receiving treatment in hospital for serious head injuries following a road traffic collision in Hull yesterday evening Wednesday, June 12.
"It happened on Beverley Road near to the junction with Washington Street around 6.40pm. The man was crossing the road when he was in collision with a red BMW which was travelling north.
"Officers and ambulance crews attended and the road was closed off for some time. No arrests have been made. Two people who were in the car were unhurt."
Residents speak of horror as man 'skids' crossing wet Beverley Road then gets hit by car
The delivery driver at Di Roma takeaway, which is close to the spot where the crash happened, claimed he saw the accident as it unfolded.
He told Hull Live last night: "It was a foreign man who was clearly intoxicated walking along the path to Washington Street. His mate was on the other side of the road and they started shouting to each other.
"Then he skidded and went straight under the car. It was awful."
"He looked right and saw nothing was coming, and started crossing the road, but he started running when he saw the BMW coming and he was looking as if he tried to beat it and get across.

Officers are also appealing for dash cam footage or any video of the accident which left the man with serious head injuries.

invaluable partners to work with as we secure our coincidental fates? What living entities are of merit?

What is our greatest ecological fear? I think our biggest fear is that we've gone too far. That we are no longer able to control what we have created – the oil spills, forest fires, biodiversity loss, habitat loss, famine and suffering.
